Alcaraz claims back-to-back Barcelona titles
Carlos Alcaraz brushed aside Stefanos Tsitsipas in straight sets on Sunday to claim a second successive Barcelona title and hammer home his status as likely successor to Rafael Nadal as French Open champion. The 19-year-old world number two won 6-3, 6-4 to bag his third trophy of 2023, after winning in Buenos Aires and Indian Wells, and the ninth of his career. With 14-time French Open champion Nadal sidelined since January with a hip injury and world number one and two-time Roland Garros winner Novak Djokovic struggling with an elbow problem, Alcaraz reinforced his credentials as a major contender to add the clay-court Grand Slam title to the US Open he captured last year. On Sunday, his only blip was dropping serve in the third game of the match. From that point on, Alcaraz powered to a 79-minute triumph against the world number five, his fourth win in four meetings with the Greek. Tsitsipas has now lost three finals in Barcelona after losing to Nadal in 2018 and 2021. "It is incredible," Alcaraz said. "To feel this energy and lift the trophy in Barcelona in front of my family and friends, and most members of my team are here as well. "Playing this level and to lift the trophy in front of them is a good feeling for me." After Tsitsipas broke for a 2-1 lead, Alcaraz won five of the next six games to take charge. His flamboyant shotmaking delighted his home crowd before a solitary break in the fifth game of the second set proved decisive. "Me and my team were talking before the match about staying relaxed," said Alcaraz who raced to the title without dropping a set. "To want to play the tough moments, staying relaxed is the most important part for me. To forget the mistakes, everything and be myself on court. Not to think about all the people watching, but just me, the court, the racquet, and the final." Alcaraz now heads to the Madrid Masters where he is also defending champion.

Importation seen blunting El Niño
As the El Niño weather phenomenon threatens local agricultural production, the government could choose to slow inflation further through additional food importation to meet high consumer demands. Michael Ricafort, the chief economist of Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation, said the move will help reduce inflation risks by ensuring enough food for consumers while discouraging businesses from pushing prices up. The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas said it expects overall inflation to ease to 6 percent this year, following the deceleration to 7.6 percent last month from 8.7 in January. All inflation figures and commodity pricing are from the Philippine Statistics Authority. Food prices remained high at 9.3 percent in March from 10.8 percent in the previous month, it said. On 12 April, Sugar Regulatory Administration board member Roland Beltran said they plan to import 100,000 metric tons of raw sugar and 250,000 metric tons of refined sugar this year. “The government signaled possible increased importation of rice and sugar amid the risk of El Niño and typhoons toward the latter part of 2023, to partly increase local supplies and help ease prices and overall inflation,” he said last Thursday in a Viber message. For rice, concurrent Agriculture Secretary, President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. said, “We may have to import, so we’re keeping that option open.” Data from the National Rice Program of the Department of Agriculture estimated the ending stock of palay, or unmilled rice grains, for the first quarter at 5.66 million metric tons, enough for 51 days. To prevent rice shortage, agriculture officials said irrigation methods will be applied to 1.5 million hectares of land in coordination with the National Irrigation Administration. The Philippines could experience extreme heat brought about by El Niño until next year, with temperatures in some areas shooting up to 48 degrees Celsius, the weather bureau Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration said. Ricafort said the BSP might also consider moves of the United States Federal Reserve, which is seen to raise its policy rate on 3 May, ahead of the local central bank’s decision announcement on 18 May. “Any Federal Reserve rate decision, a possible 0.25 rate hike would still be matched locally, but a pause cannot be ruled out if local inflation eases further,” she said Ricafort said US central bank officers will be looking at growth in home sales, jobless claims for aid, and the Consumer Confidence Index to decide whether to keep or raise the policy rate.

REBYU | Ang dikta ng dokumentarista sa ‘Balik-Loob’ ni Kara David
Lahat ng apat na kinapanayam ni David—sina Ka Omar, Ka Lorna, Rogelio, at Ka Roland—ay pawang mga namatayan ng mga mahal sa buhay dahil sa militarisasyon. Sila mismo ang nagsaad na ito ang pangunahing dahilan ng kanilang pagsapi sa kilusan. Pansinin kung paano ito tinunggali ni David nang sabihin niyang naiipit lamang sa magkabilang panig ang sitio, na parang tinangay lamang sila ng agos at walang sariling pagpapasya.
