Legislatura termina Sesión Ordinaria sin aprobar la Reforma Contributiva

Nuestro presidente, Lcdo. Ramón Pérez Blanco, CPCU en entrevista sobre la Reforma Contributiva, con Aixa Vázquez en Noticentro al Amanecer: 

No hay duda de que el deseo y la necesidad de reducir las tasas no solamente para el sector privado sino para los individuos también era algo que veiamos con buenos ojos. Le pedimos a la Legislatura y al Liderato Político que en la próxima sesión retomen este tema como uno prioritario no solo para el sector privado sino para todo el país.

13 YOUTH ENTREPRENEURS PRESENTED THEIR BUSINESSES ON WAPA TV

Friends of Puerto Rico and their group of youth entrepreneurs from the third cohort of the SEEDS program presented their small businesses on the morning news show "Noticentro al Amanecer" on Wapa TV. The entrepreneurs showcased their businesses and had the chance to sell some of their products.

SEEDS is a youth entrepreneurship program that provides training and resources to children aged 9+ in Puerto Rico, enabling them to create small businesses using Café Ama Love sales as funding. 

Contributions from sponsors like Merck, Activus Connect, and the Ángel Ramos Foundation, purchases of Café Ama Love, and individual donations help fund the program.

THC edibles that look like snacks popular with kids? FTC and FDA have something to say about that.

We’ve seen a lot of products in our day, but six companies that just received joint FTC-FDA cease and desist letters have earned a place in our “What The Heck Were They Thinking?” Pantheon. What did they do to merit that dubious distinction? According to the two agencies, the companies currently market edibles containing Delta-8 THC (yeah, that THC) with packaging and advertising that mimic the look of candy and snack brands popular with children.
