Keeping it together
It’s no longer unusual, nowadays, for a family to have one or both parents working in another country, or for grown children to relocate abroad for work or start their own family. Single parenting is also quite common, right along there with blended families and LGBTQ unions with kids. Yet even when families are together in one place — one home, compound, neighborhood or city — it takes a lot to stay “together,” literally and figuratively. Perhaps sensing the threats to what is recognized as society’s basic foundation, our government in 1992 decided to declare the last week of September as Family Week, as mandated by Proclamation 60 signed by then President Fidel V. Ramos. Ramos wanted the week to emphasize the importance of the family as “the foundation of the nation” and “as a basic autonomous social institution,” as well as recognize “the sanctity of family life,” as stated in the Constitution of the Philippines. The world may transform in many ways, but the need for family will never change. “No matter how much life changes and the concept of family evolves, it may continue to benefit human health and wellness by offering a sense of belonging and support,” it aptly states in an article on Better Help, which also enumerates the factors affecting family life as “advancements in technology, changing cultural norms, new priorities and advanced forms of communication fueled by the internet.” The sense of belonging one gains from being part of a family — whether it is in a traditional setup, adoptive or “chosen,” a new kind of family defined in these modern times — has a profound impact on one’s well-being. With government providing the impetus for today’s families to connect or reconnect during the annual Family Week, it is up to each one of us to take steps to keep ours together in these fast-paced, nomadic, dysfunctional times. In the local setting, we already see so many signs of the changing dynamics among families. We could wade through studies to figure out all the issues affecting our core foundation, but we believe one may truly gain more understanding by examining our own experiences. Here, we share the views of people in our sphere, in answer to our query: What do you consider as the biggest challenge for your family in these trying times? Gigie Arcilla, Editor-in-chief Dealing with young adult children presents the challenge of establishing boundaries as they seek independence and transition into adulthood. Striking a balance between support and autonomy, as well as providing guidance while allowing room for growth, can be difficult, especially for a single parent.

Even if someone has health insurance, no one can deny how debilitating and expensive getting sick is. Without health, quality of life is decreased. You also cannot work (no work, no pay for freelancers such as myself) if you are sick. Gratefully, none of us in the family are currently seriously ill. It’s just that given that these trying times are also marked by corruption, medical gaslighting, new diseases and viruses and climate change, health problems have become even more threatening.

I am always never at home. If I am, I would just be there for a few hours to sleep. I would get up, then go to work again. I find myself having less and less free time than before. My sister is busy with work, and so is my father. My mom is left alone at home with my cats. But, she goes to the gym to occupy herself and to see her friends. Yet, I’m thankful for what we have right now for these are the same things that we used to pray for before.

Everyone is so busy and there are so many distractions. While working and school work are necessities, we need to create time to just sit together for regular meals and chat without our electronic devices. Even on rare occasions that everyone is together, dining out, for example, people look at their phones every few seconds. That’s what I think is a big difference between today’s families and those from a few decades back. We often see “perfect” families on social media. Sadly, it seems like that’s the only place it exists. Teresa Laurente, Business Consultant For me, it has to be family, healthcare, children’s education and social media effect on young people.

When I was younger, I thought I had all the time in the world to spend time with my family. However, as I grow older, my responsibilities increase, and I have less free time than I used to. I remember spending the peak of the pandemic away from our father, and we could only talk through the phone for months. It was challenging for me not to see my father physically, especially when I go through difficult moments because I believe that we need more of our parents’ wisdom and guidance as we grow older. With the pandemic and the natural course of life, it feels like I have less time and opportunity to be with my father who is also growing old day by day.

Sultan Kudarat top insurgent falls
ZAMBOANGA CITY — The Joint Task Force Central on Tuesday reported that a high-ranking leader of the New People’s Army and one of the highly-valued targets of the military was killed during an encounter with state troops in Palimbang, Sultan Kudarat. JTF-C Commander Maj. Gen. Alex Rillera said the leader of NPA’s Beijing Platoon of the Far South Mindanao Region died in the clash at Sitio Kalogkog, Badiangon, Palimbang, Sultan Kudarat shortly before midnight on Sunday. Rillera identified the slain NPA leader as Joseph Longan alias Michael, one of the remaining leaders of the NPA-FMR. “Due to the report earlier that NPAs are recruiting high school students in the Sultan Kudarat area, we have intensified the operation against these NPAs that resulted in the neutralization of Longan,” Rillera said. Meantime, 603rd Brigade commander Brigadier General Michael Santos revealed that a grenade, food and personal belongings were also recovered from Longan’s possession. “These NPA members have nowhere to go in our area (Sultan Kudarat) because we will continue to conduct military operations against them,” Santos said. Rillera also renewed his appeal to the remaining NPA members to return to the government. “We will give you a chance to change your life with your beloved families, your government is here to help you because no one wins by using force,” Rillera said. “We know that you were just a victim of the treacherous senior NPA members of the group who brought your colleague to such a terrible misfortune. We are ready to listen to your grievances,” he added. JTF-Central records showed that of the total 42 NPAs logged, seven were arrested, 12 were killed while 23 surrendered to the government since January this year.

Clarence Avant, ‘Godfather of Black Music,’ dies at 92
Clarence Avant, the entertainment executive who is counted among the music world's most impactful figures, died over the weekend, a statement from his family said Monday. He was 92 years old. Avant "passed away gently at home" in Los Angeles on Sunday, said his children Nicole and Alex Avant, as well as Nicole's husband, Netflix executive Ted Sarandos. "Through his revolutionary business leadership, Clarence became affectionately known as 'The Black Godfather' in the worlds of music, entertainment, politics, and sports," the statement said. "Clarence leaves behind a loving family and a sea of friends and associates that have changed the world and will continue to change the world for generations to come. The joy of his legacy eases the sorrow of our loss." Avant was born on 25 February 1931 in small-town North Carolina, the oldest of eight. After spending most of his childhood in North Carolina he moved to New Jersey as a teenager, getting his start in the music business as a club manager of Teddy P's Lounge in Newark. He later was mentored by the longtime Louis Armstrong manager Joe Glaser. He went on to become one of the most revered players in music and beyond, an advocate and mentor who pushed the boundaries for Black entertainers in an industry rife with racism. Avant helped establish Venture Records, the first joint effort between a Black-owned music company and a major record label, in this case, MGM. He later launched Sussex Records and signed the likes of Bill Withers. Avant worked at an array of other labels, produced films, and also brokered deals for Black athletes including baseball superstar Hank Aaron. "He's the perennial godfather of our business," Quincy Jones said in 2006, in an interview with Billboard. "Everyone in our business has been by Clarence's desk if they’re smart." 'True pioneer' Avant also consulted at Motown and worked with other top producers including Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis as well as Babyface. He's been credited with burnishing the careers of countless artists, including Jones as well as Pharrell Williams, Snoop Dogg, and Whitney Houston. "Clarence Avant connects us all through his incredible impact since before I was born up until now. He's the godfather to so many of us -- and not just African Americans, most of the industry," Pharrell said in a statement in 2019, ahead of the release of the Netflix documentary "The Black Godfather." In 2021, Avant's wife of over 50 years, Jacqueline, was fatally shot at age 81, during a break-in of the couple's Beverly Hills home. Earlier that year Avant received special accolades from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The Recording Academy has also bestowed a number of honors on him and in 2007 he received the Thurgood Marshall Lifetime Achievement Award from the NAACP. Tributes to Avant began pouring out upon news of his death, including from Jay-Z's company Roc Nation, which hailed him "a true pioneer" who "burst through doors and tore down ceilings, changing lives and providing opportunities for generations." "Clarence Avant isn't just the 'Godfather Of Black Music,' he is our cultural Godfather," the company said. Bill and Hillary Clinton, the former US president and secretary of state, said in a joint statement they were "saddened by the passing of our friend." "It was impossible to spend time with him and not come away feeling more positive and wanting to follow his example."

Sultan Kudarat clash leaves insurgent dead
ZAMBOANGA CITY — State troops in Central Mindanao have reportedly clashed with individuals believed to be members of the New People’s Army at Kalamansig municipality in Sultan Kudarat. Joint Task Force Central on Friday reported that an insurgent was confirmed dead while other NPA members were injured during the 20-minute firefight. JTF-Central commander Maj. Gen. Alex Rillera narrated that soldiers patrolling the forested areas of Barangay Limulan in Kalamansig have encountered the group at about 3 p.m. on Thursday. He added that after the dust settled, one insurgent died while an undisclosed number of rebels were reportedly injured. “Fortunately, none of the government troops were hurt but when the operating troops investigated the scene of the encounter, we found the body of a communist terrorist who was blinded and left alone by his colleagues,” Rillera said. Brig. Gen. Michael Santos, commander of the 603rd Brigade also reported that he immediately instructed the units under his command not to give the fleeing terrorists an opportunity to regroup again. “We will continue our pursuit of the remaining members of the NPA communist terrorist group. We also got their two M14 rifles, so their war equipment is gradually running out,” Santos said. Meanwhile, Rillera continues to appeal to members of the NPA to give peace a chance by surrendering to the folds of the law. “Avail of this chance to change your life and be once again with your family. Your government is here and ready to help you because no one wins by using force,” Rillera said. “We know that you were just a victim of the treacherous senior members of the terrorist group who brought your colleague to such a terrible misfortune. We are here and ready to listen to your grievances,” he added. Since January, the 6ID has neutralized 40 communist rebels. Of this number, five were arrested, 11 were killed and 24 voluntarily returned to the fold of the law. The post Sultan Kudarat clash leaves insurgent dead appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»
Setting out on a journey towards climate goals
In order to build its climate strategy, Cebu Pacific (CEB) established a cooperation with South Pole, which will aid them towards their environmental goals. Leading climate organization South Pole creates the initiatives and solutions required to empower people all around the world to combat climate change. In support of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the International Civil Aviation Organization approved the long-term global aspirational targets of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 in 2022. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) announced its "Fly Net Zero" promise to achieve net zero emissions by 2050 a year early. "Cebu Pacific supports global aviation’s goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. With South Pole’s guidance and expertise, we will develop a robust plan of action to prioritize interventions for emission hotspots in our operations. This roadmap will consider and fuse together the tangible initiatives that we have already put in place, as well as plans that will contribute towards our aspirations of meeting aviation’s net-zero commitment," said Mike Szucs, Cebu Pacific’s Chief Executive Officer. Szucs added that the engagement with South Pole involves CEB going through the rigorous process of understanding the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions generated from its operations and setting its near-term and long-term emission reduction pathways. This roadmap will build into CEB’s current decarbonization strategy, which includes its fleet modernization program, fuel efficiency measures, successful integration of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) into its operations, transition to electric vehicles, and tapping renewable energy, among others. "CEB has been monitoring and reporting its Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions since 2018. But as with other companies, Scope 3 emissions are a blind spot for Cebu Pacific, and we recognize the complexities in accounting for these emissions. To set a credible emissions reduction pathway, it is essential to have a comprehensive validation of our material emissions. Hence, we are tapping into South Pole’s climate expertise in this area," said Alex Reyes, Chief Strategy Officer, who also leads sustainability in Cebu Pacific. South Pole will support CEB in scoping its activities to identify the relevant Scope 3 emissions from its entire upstream and downstream value chains. "To drive a sustainable long-term recovery in the aviation industry, we must continue to facilitate global climate action to achieve net zero by 2050... By placing climate at the center of its strategy, we are confident that CEB will make great strides in its climate journey, and we are proud to support CEB in achieving its sustainability goals," said Shruti Singh, South Pole’s Director, Climate Strategies for Asia Pacific. CEB’s climate strategy roadmap that will be developed under the engagement ensures that its emissions reduction pathway is aligned with climate science and with the global temperature targets under the Paris Agreement. The aviation industry, which, according to IATA, is responsible for 2–3% of global emissions, has a crucial role to play in this transition.

Holistic approach to Childhood Education
Beyond providing holistic and quality early childhood education to underserved communities around the Philippines, being able to provide our donors with a worthwhile platform to help out the greater community and invest in the future generation will always be at the forefront of what we consider to be the significant gains of MovEd or the Mold Optimism and Values through Education Foundation. [caption id="attachment_150794" align="aligncenter" width="525"] MOVED founder Alex Eduque.[/caption] And these goals, we will always strive for in the years to come. Over the last 10 years, MovEd definitely has had its highs and lows. But at our very core is being able to fulfill our mission of providing holistic and quality early childhood education and support programs to children of underserved communities and their families. We are constantly on the lookout to improve in order to make greater strides to perpetuate our mission, in as much as we want to continuously evolve in order to stay relevant with the world today and be sensitive to the communities we serve. Our priority, of course, has been, is and will always be to constantly and consistently grow — in knowledge, in operations and, of course, in expansion and volume without the quality of our programs suffering. We are hoping to serve more communities (and in effect, more children) in the years to come. Because we are a non-profit organization, funding is always challenging. We are consistently looking to expand our donor database and to make sure to reach a safe, sweet spot in terms of funding to achieve sustainability. The pandemic most definitely did not help in this regard, but just being able to survive and stay afloat during a most difficult time is already an achievement in our books. As to the future of volunteerism and the social advocacy sector to which we belong, I think that as a whole, civil society will make an effort to consistently and continuously evolve with the world today — to shift to address the needs of the greater community and worldly issues. After the pandemic, it has become more evident to me that the only constant in this world truly is change. Resilience is essential, but flexibility is key. ***** Alexandra Eduque made her foray into volunteerism and the NGO world with Habitat for Humanity in 2005. Since then, she has expanded her foray into the social advocacy world by starting her own non-profit organization. She is chairperson of the board of MovEd, founded in 2012, which advocates for Mold Optimism and Values through Education. Alex authored a book in the Bikolnon Biography Series, Chito Madrigal, as a tribute to her mentor, society’s grand dame and philanthropist, Consuelo Madrigal.

George Soros passes reins to son Alexander
American investor George Soros is passing control of his multi-billion dollar foundation to his son Alexander, the 92 and 37-year-old duo said in an interview published Sunday. The Hungarian-born father told the Wall Street Journal that his son, the second youngest of five children, had "earned it." Reviled by conservatives, and often the target of anti-Semitic conspiracies, George Soros used his wealth amassed as a financier in the 1970s and 80s to create the Open Society Foundations (OSF), which support a broad arrange of causes and NGOs worldwide, ranging from good governance and democracy-building programs to liberal public policy initiatives. He has also been one of the biggest Democratic Party donors in the United States. Alexander, who goes by Alex, told the Wall Street Journal he is "more political" than his father, and that one of his top aims would be to push back against a possible second term by former president Donald Trump. "As much as I would love to get money out of politics, as long as the other side is doing it, we will have to do it, too," he said. Under his direction, the younger Soros said the OSF will continue down a similar path his father charted, pushing free speech, criminal justice reform, minority and refugee rights, and backing liberal politicians. But he also wants to embrace voting rights, abortion, and gender equity initiatives. The board of OSF had quietly elected Alex Soros as its chairman in December, the Wall Street Journal reported, adding that he is also the president of his father's "super PAC" -- a type of organization in the United States that can spend unlimited amounts of money on politics. An OSF spokesperson confirmed to AFP on Sunday that "Alex is Chair of the Open Society Foundations," without any further details on the timing of the change. The US newspaper also said he is the sole family member on the investment committee for Soros Fund Management, the firm that oversees family and foundation money. Some $125 million has been set aside for the super PAC over the coming years, while most of the $25 billion in the Soros Management Fund will be directed toward the OSF, the Wall Street Journal reported. More focused on domestic politics than the elder Soros, Alex is already focused on helping Democrats increase their appeal with Latino voters and improve Black voter turnout. "Our side has to be better about being more patriotic and inclusive," the 37-year-old said. "Just because someone votes Trump doesn't mean they’re lost or racist."

Alex Gonzaga, her parents, and fiancé Mikee recover from Covid-19
Despite plans that have been cancelled, the actress is still grateful for many things Earlier today, Alex Gonzaga shared an intimate and very personal documentary video of how life was the past three weeks since they found out that she and her parents, fiancé Mikee, and one household help Sophie, were infected with Covid-19. She was contemplating if she should share how life was when Covid-19 hit them, and decided that she should, “so you can learn from our mistakes and to give you hope so that you know you can get better.” She started off by revealing that the virus infected their family because a member went out to buy food. The first one who got infected was her mom Pinty, and thankfully, both parents were asymptomatic. It was her and Mikee who had it worse, and Alex was able to document how she felt on a daily basis and put it out in her vlog. She started with day three where one can see her crying, “My plans were ruined. I wanted to get married with my family and a few friends, so I needed to change my plans. I also have a new show, but I couldn’t attend. For the next two weeks, I’ll be staying here at home.” On the fourth day, she admitted that she was emotional because so many of her plans didn’t push through, including attending the birthday of her one and only nephew Seve. “Right now, no one leaves the house,” she added that it’s also important to take lots of rest, drink fluids, and take Vitamin C. She also shared the symptoms she was experiencing that time such as feeling weak, slight fever (37.7C), sore throat, loss of appetite, clogged nose, and loss of taste. They also taped a sheet of plastic over on each of the rooms so that they would not leave their rooms. Both her parents are also staying in different rooms. Thankfully, her sister Toni and family, along with her friends, tested negative. On the fifth day, she didn’t have the appetite to eat and her mom suggested that she should go to the hospital but Mikee recommended to stay at home since things might worsen if she went to the hospital. She also started taking Melatonin, so that she can sleep better and get her much needed rest. True enough, on the sixth day, she woke up at around 10a.m. For the next few days, she added other ways to boost her immunity by eating more protein, opening the curtains and taking in the sun and savoring its warmth. She also kept an oxygenator by her side so she could check her oxygen level. On the eighth day, she was slightly back to normal except that she got tired more often. On the tenth day, she started getting emotional again, but felt very blessed. “God healed us, and my parents didn’t experience any symptoms, even if they’re senior citizens,” she continues. “And it just dawned on me that we survived Covid-19.” They had everyone, including the whole house staff, tested on the 15th day for Covid-19, with the negative results for everyone, even Mikee. It’s been three weeks and she shares in her vlog that she’s happy to be back and happy that they survived Covid-19 as a family. “You can survive Covid-19. Don’t panic. Consult with your doctor and really take care of your body. Boost your immune system. Drink your vitamins. Gargle with salt and water, and take lots of rest,” she reminds her viewers. “We should stop thinking about ourselves, we should really start thinking about others. It’s not about you, but the people around you. So that we can avoid infecting people during this pandemic.”.....»»
