[Daily article] August 24: California Pacific International Exposition half dollar
The California Pacific International Exposition half dollar is a fifty-
cent piece that was struck by the United States Bureau of the Mint in
1935 and 1936 as a commemorative coin. Its obverse depicts Minerva and
other elements of the Seal of California; the reverse shows buildings
from the California Pacific International Exposition (held 1935–1936),
which the coin was issued to honor. Legislation for the half dollar
moved through Congress without opposition in early 1935, and Robert I.
Aitken was hired to design it. The San Francisco Mint produced 250,000
coins, but expected sales did not materialize. The Exposition
Commission, left with over 180,000 pieces they could not sell, sought
and obtained legislation authorizing new coins. Although there was a
spike in prices for many commemorative coins in 1936, the Exposition
Commission's new coins also sold poorly, and 150,000 pieces were
returned to the Mint.

Banner storyLacson: Evidence enough to indict PhilHealth execsBy Marlon Ramos Testimonies of whistleblowers and official records presented at Senate hearings proved that the state-run Philippine Health Insurance Corp. (PhilHealth) was under the thumb of a corruption “mafia” composed of its top officials, Sen. Panfilo Lacson said on Sunday. It was PhilHealth’s resigned antifraud legal officer Thorrsson Montes Keith who first accused PhilHealth President and CEO Ricardo Morales and the rest of the executive committee of operating as a syndicate in funneling P15 billion into fraudulent transactions in 2019 alone. Lacson, a former national police chief, said the Senate committee of the whole was able to secure sufficient evidence to warrant the indictment of Morales and at least three of his subordinates for malversation of public funds, violation of the antigraft law and other criminal offenses. He said the panel, led by Senate President Vicente Sotto III, had already handed over documents to Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra, who was tasked by President Duterte with leading a multiagency investigation into the various schemes that led to the health insurance firm racking up huge losses. —INQ Read more: newsinfo.inquirer.net EditorialRemittances in perilHow bad has been the downturn in the remittances of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), long a lifeline of the Philippine economy but which have been battered by the worldwide pandemic as tens of thousands of OFWs have lost their jobs and are streaming home?
