Beauty clinics catering to men are thriving in the Philippines, part of a booming market for male cosmetics in the Asia Pacific region.

Expensive facial treatments, pimple injections and whitening products are not within everybody’s price range, but even rural menfolk are making an effort.

“We already have dark skin, we’ll be ugly if we get even darker,” said Romeo Apelado, 59, a fisherman wearing a worn-out mask made of pieces of fabric sewn together and a long-sleeved shirt to protect his skin from the sun, as he set out to fish for six to eight hours every day.

Africa plundered by secret mining deals

Administrator — Fri, 10 May 2013 23:41:45 +0000

Tax avoidance, secret mining deals and financial transfers are depriving Africa of the benefits of its resources boom, ex-UN chief Kofi Annan has said.

Firms that shift profits to lower tax jurisdictions cost Africa $38bn (£25bn) a year, says a report produced by a panel he heads.

“Africa loses twice as much money through these loopholes as it gets from donors,” Mr Annan told the BBC.

It was like taking food off the tables of the poor, he said.

The Africa Progress Report is released every May - produced by a panel of 10 prominent figures, including former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo and Graca Machel, the wife of South African ex-President Nelson Mandela.
