EDITORIAL: Haunted Healthcare
It is both outrageous and heart-breaking that, in a country where millions of Filipinos still struggle to access even the most basic health services, billions in public funds intended for hospitals and health centers are allegedly being misused—or worse, lost to corruption. House Deputy Minority Leader and ML Representative Leila de Lima has called for a congressional inquiry into the alarming state of the Department of Health’s Health Facilities Enhancement Program (HFEP), a

Quake, Rattle and Roll
We have experienced typhoon season, but earthquake season? The Lord forbid. You’ve probably heard this contrast between typhoons vs earthquakes. Typhoons come after weather forecast. Earthquakes shake all of a sudden, without warning. By the time a tropical cyclone warning signal no. 3 typhoon comes, we would have prepared with food and supplies, boarded roof and windows, safe inside our houses. By the time a magnitude 7 earthquake shakes and rattles, we would have been

Goodbye KitKat
WHILE TRYING HARD to listen to the sermon last Sunday, I could not keep my mind off my pet cat KitKat. KitKat was our beloved pet that God gave us. KitKat gave us more than 16 years of laughter, goodness, love, and happiness. As I bowed my head in prayer and thanked the Lord for giving us KitKat, I noticed a piece of paper tucked in between the pages of my Bible. It was the letter I wrote and read KitKat while she was being sedated prior to being put to sleep by the Veterina

Cooking it up relevant at JaimEliza
I have a “multistakeholder” store called JaimEliza, named after my late parents, Jaime and Eliza. It sits in Baras, Canaman, Camarines Sur, near Mariners—the maritime college—and it’s more than just a place to shop. It’s a hub where purpose meets play, where ideas, flavors, and laughter are exchanged like currency. Though not yet fully operational, JaimEliza is finding its soul. It’s clean and FDA-ready for water refilling; offers food choices both healthy and indulgent; and

Budgeting Like Home
I asked Noel Bermudo how he would budget his salary for his family of five, living in a wooden shack in the middle of a half-hectare rice field in San Jose, Pili, Camarines Sur. Noel works as a security guard for three days and as a farmer for four—including Sundays—in Naga City, where he earns ₱500 a day. Without hesitation, he said he would make sure there’s food on the table first. Next, he’d set aside money for farming, then for his fare to and from the city, and finally
