The construction of Cavite Boulevard, which we now more famously know as Roxas Boulevard (and, beyond the intersection with NAIA Road, the ManilaâCavite Expressway) necessitated reclamation works until the old Fort San Antonio Abad, now inside the compound of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas.
Albinism includes a group of inherited disorders that are characterized by little or no production of the pigment melanin. The type and amount of melanin your body produces determines the color of your skin, hair and eyes.
We normally have two copies of these chromosomes and genes: one inherited from our father, the other inherited from our mother. Albinism is a recessive trait - a person without albinism can carry the albinism trait. Both parents must carry a defective gene to have a child with albinism. When neither parent has albinism but both carry the defective gene, there is a one in four chance that the baby will be born with albinism.
