  Coco Martin, famously known as Cardo Dalisay on-screen, is making rounds all over as he debuts his endorsement not of the partylist with the same name as his show, but of a new party-list – AP Partylist #AkoyPilipino on Friday, February 25.   “Anuman ang hirap na ating pinagdadaanan, may kakampi na tayo… ” Martin introduced his new party-list group with first nominee Rep. Ronnie Ong in-action in the background in the partylist’s video now circulating online.

  Ticks and fleas could bring itchiness and restlessness to our fur babies. But sometimes, it could get worse - blood parasites.   Blood parasites are organisms that live in the blood of their animal hosts.
