[size=78%]The topic of this essay is a reflection on the transience of life and the futility of materialism. The author of the topic poses a series of rhetorical questions and statements that invite the reader to think about what really matters in this life, and how our legacy will fade away in time. The author suggests that we should change our perspective and focus on the things that bring us joy, such as spending time with our loved ones, rather than chasing after wealth and possessions that will eventually be forgotten.[/size]


The topic raises some interesting and profound points that deserve further exploration and analysis. In this essay, I will discuss the following aspects of the topic: the inevitability of death and its implications for our existence, the role of memory and history in preserving our identity and achievements, and the value of happiness and gratitude in living a meaningful life.


First, let us consider the inevitability of death and its implications for our existence. Death is a universal and natural phenomenon that affects all living beings. No matter how much we try to avoid it or delay it, we will all face it someday. Death is also unpredictable and uncertain; we do not know when or how it will happen, or what will happen after it. Death is therefore a source of fear, anxiety, and existential angst for many people.


However, death can also be seen as a catalyst for reflection and transformation. Death reminds us that our time on this earth is limited and precious, and that we should make the most of it. Death challenges us to ask ourselves what is the purpose of our life, what are our goals and aspirations, what are our values and beliefs, what are our passions and talents, what are our contributions and impacts, and what are our regrets and mistakes. Death encourages us to evaluate our life choices and actions, and to make changes if necessary. Death inspires us to live authentically, courageously, and responsibly.


Second, let us examine the role of memory and history in preserving our identity and achievements. Memory is a mental faculty that allows us to store, recall, and reconstruct information about ourselves and our experiences. Memory is essential for our sense of self, as it provides us with a personal narrative that defines who we are, where we come from, what we have done, and how we have changed over time. Memory is also crucial for our social relationships, as it enables us to share our stories with others, to empathize with their feelings, to learn from their perspectives, and to bond with them over common interests and experiences.


History is a collective form of memory that records, interprets, and communicates the events and actions of the past. History is important for our cultural identity, as it gives us a sense of belonging to a group or a nation that has a shared heritage, tradition, language, religion, art, literature, music, etc. History is also valuable for our intellectual development, as it teaches us about the causes and consequences of human actions, the patterns and trends of social change, the achievements and failures of civilizations, the diversity and complexity of human cultures, etc.


However, memory and history are not perfect or permanent. Memory is subject to distortion, bias, error, forgetting, manipulation, etc. Memory can be influenced by factors such as emotions, motivations, expectations, beliefs, etc. Memory can also be affected by diseases such as Alzheimer's or dementia that impair its functioning. History is also subject to revisionism,
controversy,
disagreement,
censorship,
destruction,
etc.
History can be influenced by factors such as power,
politics,
ideology,
propaganda,
etc.
History can also be erased by disasters such as wars,
famines,
epidemics,
etc.
Therefore,
memory
and
history
are
not
guaranteed
to
preserve
our
identity
and
achievements
forever.


Third,
let
us
explore
the
value
of
happiness
and
gratitude
in
living
a
meaningful
life.
Happiness
is
a
subjective
and
multidimensional
concept
that
refers
to
a
positive
and
satisfying
state
of
mind.
Happiness
can
be
influenced by factors such as genetics,
personality,
circumstances,
choices,
attitudes,
etc.
Happiness can also be measured by indicators such as life satisfaction,
well-being,
quality of life,
etc.
Happiness is often considered as an ultimate goal or a desirable outcome of life.


Gratitude is a positive emotion that involves appreciating what one has or receives in life. Gratitude can be expressed towards oneself,
others,
nature,
God,
etc.
Gratitude can also be practiced through habits such as keeping a gratitude journal,
saying thank you,
giving back,
etc.
Gratitude is often considered as a virtue or a beneficial quality of life.


Happiness and gratitude are closely related and mutually reinforcing. Happiness can foster gratitude,
as it makes us aware of the good things in our life and the sources of our joy. Gratitude can enhance happiness,
as it makes us more optimistic,
hopeful,
generous,
and
compassionate.
Happiness
and
gratitude
can
also
help
us
cope
with
the
challenges
and
difficulties
of
life,
such
as
stress,
loss,
grief,
etc.
Happiness and gratitude can also inspire us to pursue our passions and talents,
to contribute to the well-being of others and the world,
and to find meaning and purpose in our existence.


In conclusion,
the topic of this essay is a reflection on the transience of life and the futility of materialism. The author of the topic invites the reader to think about what really matters in this life,
and how our legacy will fade away in time. The author suggests that we should change our perspective and focus on the things that bring us joy,
such as spending time with our loved ones,
rather than chasing after wealth and possessions that will eventually be forgotten.


In this essay,
I discussed the following aspects of the topic: the inevitability of death and its implications for our existence,
the role of memory and history in preserving our identity and achievements,
and the value of happiness and gratitude in living a meaningful life.

When Albert Einstein met Charlie Chaplin in 1931, Einstein said, "What I admire most about your art is its universality. You do not say a word, and yet the world understands you." "It's true." Replied Chaplin, "But your fame is even greater. The world admires you, when no one understands you."

The Bailong Elevator (Chinese: 百龙电梯; literally Hundred Dragons Elevator) is a glass double-deck elevator built onto the side of a huge cliff in the Wulingyuan area of Zhangjiajie, People's Republic of China that is 326 m (1,070 ft) high. It is claimed to be the tallest and heaviest outdoor elevator in the world. Construction of the elevator began in October 1999, and it was opened to the public by 2002. The environmental effects of the elevator have been a subject of debate and controversy, as the Wulingyuan area was designated a World Heritage Site in 2002. Operations were stopped for 10 months in 2002–2003, reportedly due to safety concerns, not environmental ones. The elevators lead to Zhangjiajie National Forest Park which was used as the inspiration for the scenery in Avatar.

The sustained insurgency-free status of Region XI is the result of good governance and untiring support of the people in the entire Davao Region.

This was cited by Philippine Army's 10th Infantry (Agila) Division (10ID) commander Major General Jose Eriel M. Niembra in his message during the Stakeholders' Recognition, August 14, in Mawab, Davao de Oro.

"Good governance and stakeholders support are the key factors to sustaining an insurgency-free Davao Region," Niembra said.

He admitted that the insurgency problem cannot be done alone by the military, stressing that "we cannot do it alone, time-tested na hindi kaya ng military lang ang insurgency problem because this is not a simple military problem requiring only a military solution."

𝟏𝟐 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 "𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭".

1. Being productive today isn't about time management, it's about mind management.

2. Time management optimizes the resource of time. Mind management optimizes the resource of creative energy.

3. Not all hours are created equal: If you write for an hour a day, within a year you'll have a book. But you can't instead simply write for 365 hours straight, and get the same result.

4. The First Hour Rule is simply this: Spend the first hour of your day working on your most important project.

5. If you start your day working on the most important thing, there's less of a chance for other things to get in the way.

6. Sometimes your mind is better-suited to think creatively. Sometimes your mind is better-suited to think analytically.

7. The point of time is not to fill as much life as possible into a given unit of time. The point of time is to use time as a guide to living a fulfilling life.

8. A one-hour increase in average daily sleep raises productivity by more than a one-year increase in education.

9. When you randomly switch from one activity to another, your energy leaks...If you're doing that all the time, little of your energy is going toward traction.

10. A Harvard study found that the busier knowledge workers were, the less creative they were; this study found that as workers became more busy , they did less creative thinking activities such as; brainstorming. They reported fewer insights and their work was also rated as less creative by their colleagues .

11. Noise level can also affect your ability to think creatively...studies suggest that a background noise level of about seventy decibels is optimal for idea generation.

12. Things are not difficult to make; what is difficult is putting ourselves in the state of mind to make them.

Heavy rain causes knee-deep flood in Basak, Cebu City

Residents of Tagunol Street in Barangay Basak San Nicolas, Cebu City experienced knee-deep flood on Wednesday, August 16, 2023, after a heavy downpour that lasted for several hours.

The Cebu City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (CCDRRMO) advised motorists and drivers to avoid Tagunol Street, which connects Barangays Basak San Nicolas and Cogon Pardo, due to severe flooding. The CCDRRMO said they were monitoring the situation and deploying responding units to assist the affected residents.

The flood also affected nearby areas such as A.C. Cortes Avenue and some parts of Barangay Looc in Mandaue City. Some residents had to evacuate their homes as the water level rose rapidly.

According to the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration in Mactan (Pagasa-Mactan), the heavy rain was caused by thunderstorms that developed over Cebu and nearby provinces. Pagasa-Mactan issued a series of thunderstorm advisories on Wednesday, warning of possible flash floods and landslides in low-lying and mountainous areas.

The weather agency also forecasted more rains in the next few days due to the southwest monsoon or habagat, which is being enhanced by a low pressure area (LPA) near Luzon. Pagasa-Mactan advised the public to stay alert and prepare for possible weather disturbances.

The CCDRRMO reminded the residents to practice proper waste disposal and avoid throwing garbage into the waterways, which could clog the drainage system and worsen the flooding problem. The office also urged the residents to report any flood-related incidents or emergencies to their hotline numbers: (032) 254-7198 or (032) 411-0132.

In the Philippines: 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐄𝐍𝐒 𝐓𝐎 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐃𝐎 𝐀𝐅𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝟓𝟎 𝐘𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐒?
Is it true that your condominium's lifespan is set at 50 years? Learn the truth behind this statement to help you decide on whether or not to buy your own condo unit?
Planning to buy a condominium unit? Having some reservations at first is normal. But if one of the things bothering you is your condo's lifespan, then you can breathe a sigh of relief now because your unit won't be taken away from you after 50 years.
𝙊𝙣𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙨𝙩 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙤𝙣 𝙢𝙮𝙩𝙝𝙨 𝙨𝙪𝙧𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙗𝙪𝙮𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙙𝙤𝙨 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙙𝙤𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙪𝙢 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙋𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙥𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨 𝙤𝙣𝙡𝙮 𝙝𝙖𝙨 𝙖 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚𝙨𝙥𝙖𝙣 𝙤𝙛 50 𝙮𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙨. After that, the building will be demolished, putting your investment to waste.
But a close reading of the Republic Act 4726, also known as the 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙙𝙤𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙪𝙢 𝘼𝙘𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙋𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙥𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨, reveals that several factors dictate what the fate of your unit will be after 50 years.
Let's end all speculations, once and for all. Here are three facts about a condominium's lifespan derived from RA 4726:
𝐅𝐀𝐂𝐓 #𝟏: 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐛𝐮𝐲 𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐮𝐦 𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭, 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.
A condominium corporation owns the land where your condominium is built. As a unit homeowner, you can think of yourself as a shareholder of that corporation. It's the same as having a homeowners association in landed housing developments.
Shareholders possess the same right and voting power as other unit owners or shareholders. You can vote on issues like repainting common areas, changing the swimming pool tiles, or upgrading the facilities in the in-house gym.
Similarly, you can also vote on issues surrounding the fate of your condominium after 50 years. Remember that it's a collective decision of more than 50% of homeowners at the very least, not just one individual deciding on everything.
𝐅𝐀𝐂𝐓 #𝟐: 𝐀 𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧'𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝟓𝟎 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐢𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐰𝐞𝐝.
Your condominium doesn't have a lifespan, but the corporation managing it has one. In the Philippines, 50 years is the lifespan of all companies and corporations, big or small.
However, the corporation can still be renewed for another 50 years, so your condominium ownership does not necessarily end at that point.
𝐅𝐀𝐂𝐓 #𝟑: 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐮𝐦 𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐡𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞.
Here's what the law says exactly about your condominium's future after 50 years:
"That project has been in existence in excess of 50 years; that it is obsolete and uneconomic, and that condominium owners holding in aggregate more than fifty percent interest in the common areas are opposed to repair or restoration or remodeling or modernizing of the project."
Many people believe that this clause already implies that a condominium has a set lifespan of 50 years, but carefully reading it shows that the condominium should fulfill three requirements to be declared uninhabitable.
It should exist for at least 50 years.
It should already be obsolete and uneconomical.
The owners should be opposed to any repair or restoration that can be done in the condominium.
It means that even if the condominium is already 50 years old, it doesn't necessarily have to be obsolete and uneconomical. It's on a case-by-case basis. A majority of today's condominium developers construct condos using high quality and durable materials so that they won't give in to ordinary wear and tear. 𝘼𝙙𝙫𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙚𝙘𝙝𝙣𝙤𝙡𝙤𝙜𝙞𝙚𝙨 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙡𝙮 𝙥𝙪𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙪𝙨𝙚, 𝙨𝙤 𝙢𝙤𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙣 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙙𝙤𝙨 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚𝙡𝙮 𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙗𝙚 𝙞𝙣 𝙜𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙥𝙚 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙣 𝙖𝙛𝙩𝙚𝙧 50 𝙮𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙨.
And as previously mentioned, you're a shareholder of your condominium corporation. Your vote—and other shareholders' votes as well—matter. If only less than 50% of homeowners vote to demolish the building, then demolition won't push through.
And even if your condo corporation decides to push through with the demolition, this usually means that the property will be sold first to another land developer. As a condo owner, you're 𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘢 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘭𝘦. Imagine the price of that land after so many years!
So, if this 50-year fallacy is the only thing that's holding you back from investing in a condominium unit, then reading this should ease your fears and apprehensions. 𝙄𝙣𝙫𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙞𝙣 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙙𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙢 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙙𝙤 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙋𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙥𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨 𝙩𝙤𝙙𝙖𝙮 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙖𝙙𝙫𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙜𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙤𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙖𝙡 𝙧𝙚𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙨 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙬𝙖𝙮.

"Drink water from the spring where horses drink. The horse will never drink bad water. Lay your bed where the cat sleeps. Eat the fruit that has been touched by a worm. Boldly pick the mushroom on which the insects sit. Plant the tree where the mole digs. Build your house where the snake sits to warm itself. Dig your fountain where the birds hide from the heat. Go to sleep and wake up at the same time with the birds – you will reap all of the days' golden grains. Eat more green – you will have strong legs and a resistant heart, like the beings of the forest. Swim often and you will feel on earth like the fish in the water. Look at the sky as often as possible and your thoughts will become light and clear. Be quiet a lot, speak little – and silence will come in your heart, and your spirit will be calm and full of peace."

Always Remember via FB post

1. Don't buy an expensive phone. A new version will come out even before you've finished paying for it.

2. Don't buy an expensive bag. Replicas are scattered everywhere. Only a trained eye will see that it's genuine.

3. Don't buy expensive shoes. You can't walk like a duck trying to keep it from deforming with every use.

4. Don't buy expensive clothing. You can't walk around showing the small tag behind your nape.

5. Don't buy an expensive watch. A 100-peso vintage watch online looks good too, and all kinds will tell the same time.

6. Don't buy expensive undergarments. It's not allowed to walk in public wearing only a Victoria's Secret bra and panties.

7. Don't buy expensive cars. It depreciates with every kilometer it runs. Your 1.2 Million-Peso SUV will sell for only 500K.

8. Don't buy a huge house. Too much space creates distance between family members. They'll grow old and leave anyway.

9. Always settle for the justified price. You can do more with two for the price of one.

10. Remember that it's not the brand that carries you. It's how you carry the brand.

Grow old wise. Grow old happy.

"For many years, our clients talked of supporting the transition to a more sustainable economy; now we hear them speak of the business transformation required," shares Alice Spencer, programme director at the University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL). Spencer works within the executive education team at CISL to design and deliver education programmes for senior leaders to help them engage with strategic business decisions to align sustainability and profitability.

Be it consumers, regulators, or an increasingly selective workforce demanding that employers do more, businesses are feeling the tide turn towards sustainability as the basis for long-term business success, rather than a mere 'nice to have'. "This presents a huge responsibility and opportunity for leaders to challenge their existing operating structures and cultures – even their fundamental purpose and value proposition – and lengthen their stride into relatively unknown ways of doing business," says Spencer.

Discover the business case for sustainability and the value of strong leadership in driving sustainable practices on the Business Sustainability Management online short course from the University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership.

There is no definitive answer to what is the best online learning platform, as different platforms may suit different learners' needs, preferences, and goals. However, based on the web search results I found, some of the most popular and highly rated online learning platforms in 2023 are:

- **Udemy**: Udemy is a platform that offers over 183,000 online video courses for both working professionals and students. They cover a wide range of topics, from business and technology to personal development and hobbies. You can buy individual courses for a one-time fee, or subscribe to Udemy Pro for unlimited access to selected courses. Some of the pros of Udemy are its low prices, frequent discounts, and lifetime access to purchased courses. Some of the cons are its inconsistent quality, lack of accreditation, and limited interaction with instructors and peers¹².
- **Coursera**: Coursera is a platform that partners with leading universities and organizations to offer online courses, certificates, and degrees in various fields. You can enroll in individual courses for free or pay for a certificate, or join a specialization or a degree program for a monthly or annual fee. Some of the pros of Coursera are its academic credibility, high-quality content, and interactive learning experience. Some of the cons are its high costs, strict deadlines, and limited course availability¹².
- **Skillshare**: Skillshare is a platform that focuses on creative skills, such as design, photography, writing, and music. It has over 30,000 classes and offers project-based learning, where you can apply what you learn to create something tangible. It costs $15 per month or $99 per year for unlimited access to all classes. Some of the pros of Skillshare are its practical content, extensive library, and supportive community. Some of the cons are its lack of accreditation, variable quality, and limited feedback¹².
- **MasterClass**: MasterClass is a platform that features classes taught by celebrities and experts in their fields. You can learn from the likes of Barack Obama, Gordon Ramsay, Serena Williams, and more. Each class consists of about 20 video lessons that are about 10 minutes long. It costs $15 per month or $180 per year for unlimited access to all classes. Some of the pros of MasterClass are its inspirational content, premium production quality, and personalized recommendations. Some of the cons are its lack of practical skills, limited interaction, and generic topics¹².

These are just some examples of the many online learning platforms available in 2023. You may want to explore other options as well, such as Udacity³, Pluralsight³, EdX³, or Moodle LMS³. Ultimately, the best online learning platform for you depends on your learning objectives, preferences, and budget. I hope this information helps you find the right platform for your needs. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask me.

Former President Duterte visits Malacañan Palace, shares insights with President Marcos Jr.

Former President Rodrigo Roa Duterte paid a courtesy call to President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. at the Malacañan Palace on August 2, 2023. The two leaders discussed various issues of national and regional interest, including the recent meeting between Duterte and Chinese President Xi Jinping in China.

Duterte, who served as the 16th president of the Philippines from 2016 to 2022, shared his views on the current state of the country's relations with China, which he described as "friendly and cooperative". He said that he and Xi had agreed to maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea, as well as to enhance trade and investment ties between the two nations.

Duterte also expressed his support for President Marcos Jr.'s administration, which he praised for its achievements in fighting corruption, poverty, and terrorism. He said that he was impressed by the reforms and programs that Marcos Jr. had implemented since he assumed office in June 2022, such as the Build, Build, Build infrastructure program, the Universal Health Care law, and the Bangsamoro Organic Law.

Duterte also gave some good pieces of advice to President Marcos Jr., who is the son of former President Ferdinand E. Marcos and former First Lady Imelda R. Marcos. He urged him to continue serving the Filipino people with honesty, integrity, and compassion. He also advised him to be wary of his critics and enemies, who might try to undermine his leadership and credibility.

President Marcos Jr. thanked former President Duterte for his visit and his valuable insights. He said that he appreciated Duterte's friendship and mentorship, which he considered as a great honor and privilege. He also said that he would heed Duterte's advice and guidance, as well as learn from his experience and wisdom.

The two leaders also exchanged gifts and souvenirs during their meeting. Duterte gave Marcos Jr. a painting of a durian, which is a symbol of Davao City, where Duterte served as mayor for 22 years. Marcos Jr. gave Duterte a book about the history and culture of Ilocos Norte, which is the home province of the Marcos family.

The meeting between Duterte and Marcos Jr. was cordial and warm, reflecting the mutual respect and admiration that they have for each other. It also showed their commitment to work together for the benefit of the Filipino people and the nation.

Shirin (From Persian meaning "sweet": شیرین; died 628) was a Christian wife of the Sasanian King of Kings Khosrow II (r. 590–628). In the revolution after the death of Khosrow's father Hormizd IV, the General Bahram Chobin took power over the Persian empire.
The background of Shirin is uncertain. According to the 7th-century Armenian historian Sebeos, she was a native of Khuzistan in southwestern Iran.
Shirin fled with Khosrow to Syria, where they lived under the protection of Byzantine emperor Maurice. In 591, Khosrow returned to Persia to take control of the empire and Shirin was made queen. She used her new influence to support the Christian minority in Iran, but the political situation demanded that she do so discreetly. Initially she belonged to the Church of the East, the so-called Nestorians, but later she joined the miaphysite church of Antioch, now known as the Syriac Orthodox Church.
After conquering Jerusalem in 614, amidst the Byzantine–Sasanian War of 602–628, the Persians captured the True Cross of Jesus and brought it to their capital Ctesiphon, where Shirin took the cross in her palace.
Long after her death Shirin became an important heroine of Persian literature, as a model of a faithful lover and wife. She appears in the Epic of Kings (Shahnameh) and the romance Khosrow and Shirin by Nizami Ganjavi (1141−1209), and is referred to in very many other works.
Her elaborated story in literature bears little or no resemblance to the fairly few known historical facts of her life, although her Christianity and difficulties after the assassination of her husband remain part of the story, as well as Khosrow's exile before he regained his throne.
After their first accidental meeting, when Khosrow was initially unaware of her identity, their courtship takes a number of twists and turns, with the pair often apart, that occupy most of the story. After Khosrow's son kills him, the son demands that Shirin marry him, which she avoids by committing suicide.

By FB post: SPANISH  RESTAURANT BARCINO OPENS IN CEBU

From hearty paellas and mouthwatering tapas to a range of unique regional dishes, Barcino brings its authentic take on Spanish gastronomy to Cebu City.

Barcino was founded in 2016 by a group of Spanish friends in Manila who believed the best way to showcase their native cuisine was to open a restaurant. Its name is Latin for Barcelona, the capital of the Catalan community in Spain, and home to the restaurant's founders.

The newly opened Barcino in NUSTAR Resort is the 19th branch and the first outside of Metro Manila.

Bernadette M. Lee, Chief Operating Officer, said Barcino offers a mix of traditional Spanish cuisine and dishes enhanced by the rich and diverse Cebuano food culture.

To ensure a remarkable culinary experience for guests, the Barcino chefs use only ingredients imported from Spain and prepare dishes with traditional Spanish techniques.

One of Barcino's centerpiece offerings is the cochinillo or lechon de leche. If you order it in Barcino, the chef cuts it with a plate to show how tender the meat is and breaks the plate in keeping with an old Spanish tradition for luck.

The restaurant is also known for its sangria and extensive wine list. It currently has eight kinds of sangria to choose from and over a hundred mostly Spanish wine labels.

Barcino's core that is the Spanish experience complements Cebu's historical connection with Spain that dates back to Ferdinand Magelan's arrival in Cebu in 1521.

The restaurant is now open to serve generous portions of Spanish cuisine at friendly prices from 11:00 am to 12:00 midnight from Sunday to Thursday and up to 2 am from Friday to Saturday.

It currently has a special opening promo of a 20 percent discount on the total bill for diners who reserve a table 3 days in advance. Offer is good up to August 27, 2023. For inquiries and reservations, call 0956-022-9720.

Slimming Down: Effective Strategies to Try
Weight loss can be a challenging goal for many, but it doesn't have to be unattainable. There are numerous strategies you can use to make your weight loss journey more manageable. If one approach doesn't work for you, don't be afraid to try something else. The key is to keep trying. This article offers a variety of tips and suggestions to help you achieve your weight loss goals.
Incorporating protein into every meal can help promote weight loss. Lean protein is more satisfying than carbohydrates or fats, and can help you feel full for longer periods of time. If you fill up on carbs, you may find yourself feeling hungry again within an hour or two.
Staying hydrated is also important for weight loss. When your body is dehydrated, it may hold onto fat stores because water is necessary to flush out toxins. Drinking enough water each day, especially if you haven't been doing so, can help flush out your system and promote leanness.
Enlisting a friend as a workout buddy can also be helpful. Having someone to hold you accountable can prevent you from skipping workouts in favor of lounging on the couch. Friendly competition can also motivate you to push yourself harder during each workout.
If you're trying to lose weight, consider turning off the television while eating. Studies have shown that people consume significantly more calories when they eat while watching TV. Instead, sit down with your family and focus on enjoying your meal and engaging in conversation.
Be mindful of what you drink as well as what you eat. Research the calorie content of your favorite beverages so that you can incorporate them into your diet in a healthy way. Consider switching to "light" versions of your drinks to reduce your daily calorie intake.
Eating breakfast is crucial for weight loss. Starting your day with a healthy meal can improve your chances of losing and maintaining weight loss. It sets a positive tone for the rest of the day and can help you make healthier choices.
Using a smaller plate can also help you eat less. When using a large plate, it's tempting to fill it up with food. Using a smaller plate, such as a dessert plate, allows you to fill it up without feeling guilty about eating everything on it.
Drinking 16 ounces of water before a meal can also aid in weight loss. Not only is staying hydrated important for overall health, but drinking two glasses of water before eating can help fill you up and reduce the amount of food you consume.
Losing weight during the holiday season can be difficult due to the abundance of high-calorie foods and snacks at parties and gatherings. To stay on track, eat a healthy and filling meal before attending events. You can still indulge in treats, but you'll be less likely to overeat if you arrive satiated.
It's important not to compare yourself to others when trying to lose weight. Everyone loses weight at different rates and what works for one person may not work for another. The key is to find what works best for you and stick with it. Remember that the basic formula for weight loss is to burn more calories than you consume, drink plenty of water, and eat healthily.
Rewarding yourself in non-food ways can also be helpful. Instead of treating yourself to a dessert for reaching a weight-loss or fitness goal, consider rewarding yourself with a new workout outfit, a round of mini-golf, or a spa treatment. This will train your brain to associate success with activities other than food.

Achieving Your Dream Body: A Comprehensive Guide
Weight loss is a common goal for many people, but starting a weight loss journey can be daunting due to the effort required. However, achieving a healthier, slimmer physique doesn't have to involve a complete lifestyle overhaul or constant exertion. Here are some simple tips to help you gradually transition to a healthier lifestyle.
Firstly, avoid drinking soda if you're trying to lose weight. Even switching to diet soda won't help. Soda consumption can hinder weight loss efforts, so it's best to eliminate it from your diet and replace it with water.
It's also important to eat only when you're truly hungry, rather than giving in to cravings or eating out of habit. Wait until you hear your stomach grumble before deciding it's time for a meal. This will ensure that you're eating for nourishment rather than indulgence.
If you're not a fan of running but want to give it a try, consider the Couch to 5k program. This program helps inactive individuals gradually build up their stamina and mental readiness to run for 30 minutes in just 8 weeks. It has received positive reviews from many users.
Exercise can sometimes be monotonous, so it's important to keep yourself entertained during long cardio sessions. Consider reading or listening to an audiobook, or create an upbeat music playlist to keep your body moving.
Don't assume that all chicken is lower in fat than other meats. The fat content of meat depends on the specific cut, rather than the animal it comes from. For example, dark chicken meat has more fat than beef rump roast or top round, and twice the fat of pork tenderloin. Opt for skinless chicken breast or turkey breast for a lower calorie option.
Remember that even small efforts can yield significant results. Incorporating just one or two of these tips into your routine can lead to noticeable weight loss. As you see progress, you'll be motivated to learn more and work harder towards achieving your weight loss goals.

On August 1, 1851, the longest standing bank in the Philippines and the first bank in Southeast Asia was established as El Banco Español Filipino de Isabel II. Known today as Bank of the Philippine Islands or BPI, the bank was created during the administration of Spanish Governor General Juan Antonio de Urbiztondo, whose another claim to fame in terms of economic progress was the creation of interpostal service in the Philippines. It was credited to have printed the first paper money in the Philippines, which the bank began issuing the following year (1852).

Blackstone Classic Smash Burgers

1/4 cup ketchup

1/4 cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons yellow mustard

2 dill pickles, 1 chopped and 1 sliced into rounds

1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

1/8 teaspoon onion powder

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

1 1/2 pounds ground beef, 80/20

Unsalted butter, softened, for brushing

4 large hamburger buns, split

1 small white onion, diced

4 slices American or Cheddar cheese

4 slices tomato

4 lettuce leaves

Directions
Special equipment: a 36-inch Blackstone Griddle Cooking Station, a large metal spatula

Set 2 burners to high and 2 burners to medium on a 36-inch Blackstone Griddle Cooking Station and preheat for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, stir the ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard and chopped pickle in a small bowl and set aside. Stir the garlic powder, onion powder, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a separate small bowl. Set aside.

Loosely form the beef into 8 balls; set aside. Working in batches, lightly brush butter onto the medium-heat side of the griddle and toast the buns cut-side down until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Flip and keep warm while you cook the burgers.

Brush butter onto the high-heat side of the griddle and add the onions. Cook, tossing with a metal spatula occasionally, until starting to brown slightly, about 3 minutes. Divide the onions into 4 equal piles, spacing them a couple inches apart. Top each pile with 1 ball of beef. Smash each ball with the back of a spatula or a burger press until the patty is about 1/4 inch thick. Repeat with the remining 4 beef balls directly on the griddle. Season the patties with half the seasoning mixture and continue cooking, undisturbed, until well browned, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Flip the patties, sprinkle with the remaining seasoning mixture and top each plain patty with 1 cheese slice. Continue cooking until the cheese is melted around the edges and the bottoms of the patties are browned, about 1 more minute.

Spread the ketchup mixture on the bun tops. Fill each bun with 1 onion patty, 1 plain patty, 1 tomato slice, 1 lettuce leaf and some of the onions, if any, that were left on the griddle.

Do Pilots sleep during flight? 

The answer is yes!

Pilots are allowed to take a rotational rest for about 45 minutes or depending on the longevity of the journey whenever the workload is light. This obviously helps the two pilots to stay alert during the most crucial part of the flight.

It is not proper for the two pilots to fall asleep as it is a big risk.

However, on 15th August 2022, Two pilots flying a plane from Sudan to Ethiopia fell asleep when the aircraft was 37,000 feet above sea level, and missed their landing.
luck being on their sides, one of the pilots suddenly woke up and subsequently the succeeded in safely landing the aircraft without any injuries.

Bonus:

What happens when a plane run out of fuel in mid air?

An airliner can land if it runs out of fuel. The only difficulty will be finding an airport within its glide distance but if it doesn't find one, it would need to land anywhere, as the airliner drops from the air diametrically. So it is not like it will fall off just because it has run out of fuel.

Sinéad O'Connor, the fiery Irish singer-songwriter whose striking voice briefly made her an unlikely pop superstar while her bold public stances on child abuse, war, and organized religion made her a controversial figure, has died at the age of 56.
O'Connor's family confirmed the singer's death in a statement to Irish news network RTE. "It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Sinéad. Her family and friends are devastated and have requested privacy at this very difficult time." No cause of death was provided.
Already a rising star in the late Eighties, O'Connor shot to fame in 1990 when her version of the Prince song "Nothing Compares 2 U" became a Number One hit. Her Celtic-tinged vocal style, marked by breathy swoops that were by turns soothing and abrasive, would echo throughout the Nineties, influencing singers such as Sarah McLachlan and Alanis Morissette, who said O'Connor's music was "really moving for me, and very inspiring, before I wrote Jagged Little Pill."
Though her singing was passionate and sensual, O'Connor avoided the clichéd images that often straitjacketed female rock stars of that era. She was neither a girlish sexpot nor a hippie free spirit nor a posturing tough chick, and her fiercely idiosyncratic personal style — shaved head, emotionally ambiguous facial expressions, loose outfits — helped younger female artists discover new ways to reinvent themselves.
Sinéad Marie Bernadette O'Connor was born on Dec. 8, 1966, in Glenageary, County Dublin, Ireland. Her parents separated when she was eight, and Sinéad, along with two of her four siblings, went to live with her mother. O'Connor would later claim that her mother, who died in a 1985 car accident, physically abused her. She sang about the effects of this abuse on her 1994 song "Fire on Babylon," and consistently advocated for abused children throughout her life. "The cause of all the world's problems, as far as I'm concerned, is child abuse," she said in 1991.
Fellow musicians recognized O'Connor's gifts early on. When she was 15, she co-wrote "Take My Hand," the first single for the soon-to-be successful Irish rock band In Tua Nua. In 1984, she and Colm Farrelly formed Ton Ton Macoute, and the group made a name for itself on the Dublin rock scene. But O'Connor outshone her bandmates and was soon signed to Ensign Records. She moved to London and co-wrote "Heroine" with the Edge for the film Captive. U2 were early supporters of O'Connor's music, but she alienated them by dismissing the band as "bombastic" and defending the violent tactics of the Irish Republican Army. She also shaved her head. "[The heads of Ensign] wanted me to wear high-heel boots and tight jeans and grow my hair," O'Connor told Rolling Stone in 1991. "And I decided that they were so pathetic that I shaved my head so there couldn't be any further discussion."
The recording sessions for O'Connor's debut album got off to a rocky start. She clashed with her initial producer, industry veteran Mick Glossip, firing him, scrapping the initial recordings, and badmouthing him to the press. O'Connor convinced her label to let her produce the album herself, with recording assistance from drummer John Reynolds — who was also the father of O'Connor's first son, Jake, born during this time. When The Lion and the Cobra came out in 1987, it went gold, was critically lauded, and earned O'Connor her first Grammy nomination. The track "Mandinka" became a modern rock hit. O'Connor, who was among the first rock musicians to embrace hip-hop, also crossed over to urban audiences with a remix of "I Want Your (Hands on Me)" that featured MC Lyte.
But it was O'Connor's 1990 follow-up album, I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got, anchored by her haunting rendition of Prince's "Nothing Compares 2 U" (a song he originally wrote for his side project, the Family), that would make the singer an international star. The album was heavily inspired by O'Connor's mother. "The songs on this record were really about her," she said in 2009. "Even the f***** title I got from having a dream about her, and in this dream she said to me, 'I do not want what I haven't got.' In my mind, even 'Nothing Compares 2 U' was me thinking about her." A critical success that also went double platinum, I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got seemed like the start of a long, unpredictably great career. But O'Connor's music would never again be this popular, or this celebrated.
In 1990, O'Connor became nearly as well-known for her unyielding public actions as for her music. She refused to appear as a musical guest on an episode of Saturday Night Live hosted by misogynist comic Andrew Dice Clay. That summer, she would not allow a New Jersey concert venue to play the U.S. national anthem before a performance; in response, some radio stations stopped playing her music and Frank Sinatra threatened to "kick her in the ass." Along with Public Enemy, she boycotted the 1991 Grammy Awards to protest the first Gulf War. But her most controversial act was yet to come.
In 1992, O'Connor released her third album, Am I Not Your Girl?, a collection of lushly orchestrated cover songs, mostly jazz and pre-rock pop standards, that puzzled critics and fans alike. That October, shortly after the album's release, she was the musical guest on Saturday Night Live. She sang an a cappella version of Bob Marley's "War," the lyrics modified slightly to protest sexual abuse in the Catholic Church, and as she sang the word "evil," she showed a photo of Pope John Paul II, which she then ripped apart. Saying "Fight the real enemy," O'Connor then flung the scraps at the camera. The audience responded with silence.
The public response was explosive, ranging from fierce outrage to dismissive mockery. Joe Pesci, SNL's host the following week, threatened O'Connor, saying, "I would have gave her such a smack." Even Madonna (perhaps a little envious that an equally skilled pop provocateur might upstage her) called O'Connor's actions inappropriate, and parodied the act on SNL in 1993. Just two weeks after her SNL performance, O'Connor took the stage at Madison Square Garden to perform "I Believe in You" at a Bob Dylan tribute concert, where she could barely be heard over the roars of the audience, which was split between supporters and detractors. Defiantly, she again sang "War."
With her new album foundering on the charts and the public outcry becoming a distraction, O'Connor took some time off — according to some reports she'd retired. In 1994, she released Universal Mother, which included an astounding version of Nirvana's "All Apologies," but the album struggled commercially and her career never stabilized. The only other music O'Connor would release in the Nineties was the Gospel Oak EP in 1997. Meanwhile, her personal life stayed in the news. She and Irish journalist John Waters engaged in a nasty public dispute over custody of their daughter, Roisin (O'Connor's second child). Then, in 1999, O'Connor was ordained as a priest in a splinter Catholic sect, the Latin Tridentine Church, as Mother Bernadette Mary.
In 2000, O'Connor signed with Atlantic Records. Her debut for the label, Faith and Courage, sounded like an attempt to regain commercial relevance, but with its too-broad range of producers — from Wyclef Jean and Kevin "She'kspere" Briggs to Dave Stewart and Brian Eno — it came off as unfocused. O'Connor regrouped musically with the 2002 collection of Irish folk, Sean-Nós Nua, and an even more successful collection of reggae classics, Throw Down Your Arms, with Jamaican superproducers Sly and Robbie, in 2005.
O'Connor continued to record, releasing the albums Theology (2007), How About I Be Me (And You Be You)? (2012), and I'm Not Bossy, I'm the Boss (2014). But the world paid more attention to her public statements than her art. In 2013, O'Connor wrote a much-discussed "open letter" to Miley Cyrus, "to send healthier messages to your peers ... they and you are worth more than what is currently going on in your career."
O'Connor had long been critical of Prince, who penned "Nothing Compares 2 U," telling Rolling Stone in 1991 that meeting him "spoiled the song completely for me. I feel a connection with the song, but the experience was a very disturbing one. At the moment I really don't like the idea of singing the song. I need to get to the stage where I can separate the writer from the song — which I suppose I always did before. But I'm just very angry with him." After Prince's death in 2016, she called the late superstar "a longtime hard drug user."
O'Connor was believed to have suffered from mental-health issues for years. On The Oprah Winfrey Show in 2007, O'Connor said she'd been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and that she'd attempted suicide in 1999 on her 33rd birthday. However, she reappeared on the program seven years later to say that she'd gotten several second opinions and believed she'd been misdiagnosed. O'Connor posted what appeared to be a suicide note on her Facebook page in November 2015, lashing out at her family members. When she disappeared during a biking trip in suburban Chicago in May 2016, there were widespread fears for her life. A yearlong stay in a trauma and addiction-treatment program followed in 2020.
O'Connor's legacy enjoyed a resurgence in recent years with a memoir and an acclaimed documentary, but just as quickly tragedy struck as the singer revealed that her 17-year-old son, Shane, died by suicide in January 2022, just days after he went missing from an Irish hospital's suicide watch. O'Connor's own death came 18 months after that of her son.
Irish President Michael Higgins said in a statement Wednesday, "My first reaction on hearing the news of Sinéad's loss was to remember her extraordinarily beautiful, unique voice. What was striking in all of the recordings she made and in all of her appearances was the authenticity of the performance, while her commitment to the delivery of the song and its meaning was total."
Higgins continued, "What Ireland has lost at such a relatively young age is one of our greatest and most gifted composers, songwriters and performers of recent decades, one who had a unique talent and extraordinary connection with her audience, all of whom held such love and warmth for her... Sinéad O'Connor's voice and delivery was in so many different ways original, extraordinary and left one with a deep deep impression that to have accomplished all she did while carrying the burden which she did was a powerful achievement in its own way. Her contribution joins those great contributions of Irish women who contributed to our lives, its culture and its history in their own unique but unforgettable ways."
In 1991, following the national-anthem incident that drew the ire of Sinatra, O'Connor told Rolling Stone, "It's not like I got up in the morning and said, 'OK, now let's start a new controversy.' I don't do anything in order to cause trouble. It just so happens that what I do naturally causes trouble. And that's fine with me. I'm proud to be a troublemaker." -Rolling Stone

Mactan-Cebu International Airport - the First Airport in the Philippines to Receive Airport Customer Experience Accreditation

Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA) achieves another milestone in its pursuit of excellence, as it is the first airport in the Philippines to receive the Airport Customer Experience Accreditation for Airport Service Quality from the esteemed Airports Council International (ACI).

This accreditation stands as a significant step of taking the direction to continuously elevating customer experience at MCIA, setting the bar for customer experience management across Philippine airports.

ACI, a global body representing the world's airports and the airports' interests, grants the Airport Customer Experience accreditation to recognize airports that consistently exhibit exceptional performance in delivering top-notch customer experience management and practices.

The accreditation program aims to provide a common framework with a multilevel review process and to communicate the airport's efforts to improve its customer experience among its stakeholders.

"The Airport Customer Experience accreditation is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the entire team at MCIA and our exceptional partnership with the Mactan-Cebu International Airport Authority (MCIAA) and all the airport stakeholders.

We have always placed utmost importance on providing world-class services and amenities, and this recognition is an important step to taking the right direction of our vision of becoming the world class tourism and transfer gateway in the Philippines," said Athanasios Titonis, AIC Senior Executive assigned to MCIA.

MCIA has been on an ambitious journey to raise the bar for customer satisfaction, implementing numerous initiatives to improve various touch points throughout the airport.

From seamless check-in processes and efficient security procedures to an array of dining and retail options, MCIA has demonstrated a keen focus on meeting passenger needs and preferences.

"This accomplishment reflects our commitment to raising the bar and setting new standards for customer service and satisfaction in the airport sector. Being the first airport in the Philippines to receive the Airport Customer Experience accreditation fills us with great pride but it also humbles us to continuously strive for excellence.

Our journey does not end here; rather, it marks the beginning of where we further elevate our services to ensure that every passenger passing through MCIA feels valued. We extend our sincerest gratitude to the entire airport community and stakeholders whose collective efforts and partnership made this achievement a reality." said MCIAA General Manager and CEO Julius G. Neri, Jr.

By earning this accreditation, MCIA joins a select group of airports worldwide that have excelled in customer-centricity. This accolade not only reinforces MCIA's position as a leading regional aviation hub but also underscores its commitment to upholding the highest standards of service and hospitality.

Starting 2021, MCIA also received the Airport Health Accreditation from ACI which recognizes its efforts in ensuring the health and safety of its passengers and airport personnel through the implementation of health and safety industry best practices.

Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA) is the second largest airport in the Philippines. It serves over 11 million foreign and local passengers yearly, making it the second busiest airline hub in the country. MCIA is operated by a Filipino-led private consortium between Aboitiz InfraCapital (AIC), GMR Group of India, and Megawide Construction Corporation (MCC), under a concession agreement with the Philippine Government.

With its strategic location and world-class facilities, MCIA aims to establish itself as the main tourism gateway of the country with exceptional travel experience, connecting the world to the Philippines.

GCF Ortigas Sunday Worship Service – 5:30 PM (English Sunset)

The One Another Commands of the Bible
Sermon Title: Submit to One Another Out of the Fear of Christ
Main Scripture: Ephesians 5:18-21

To "submit" is often seen as an act of weakness and inferiority. But the Bible reveals a way of submission among Christians that both empowers and frees, and none other than our Lord Jesus Christ powerfully demonstrated how and why it works. Let us look at what the Bible says about submitting to one another.

American History

Did you know that in 1884 that the first production-standard electric car capable of being reproduced and sold to the public was unveiled? Did you know that in the early 1900s 1/3 of all vehicles on the road were electric? They started to quickly disappear around 1920 with the introduction of petrol and Henry Ford.

Ferdinand Porsche - founder of the eponymous sports car-produced an electric vehicle called 'P' in 1898, before creating the world's first hybrid offering, which was powered by both electricity and a combustion engine.

Mercedes-Benz also offered up an electric model called the Mercedes Mixte, in 1906. This car was adopted as a taxi in cities and was even developed into a race car in 1907.

We are nearly seeing the reincarnation of old tech. The first pic is a group of working EV trucks in the UK plugged in in 1917.

Thomas Fuller, an African sold into slavery in 1724 at the age of 14, was sometimes known as the "Virginia Calculator" for his extraordinary ability to solve complex math problems in his head. He was asked how many seconds there were in a year and a half, he answered in about two minutes, 47,304,000. Again he was asked how many seconds a man has lived who is 70 years, 17 days and 12 hours old, he answered in a minute and a half 2,210,500,800.

One of the men was working out the problems on paper, and informed Fuller that he was wrong, because the answer was much smaller. Fuller hastily replied, "'Top, massa, you forget de leap year." When the leap year was added in, the sums matched.

 PBBM VOWS INCLUSION, EMPOWERMENT OF PWDS
President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. on Tuesday assured the persons with disabilities (PWDs) of his administration's support to ensure their inclusion and empowerment in the country as he called on the private sector to create more inclusive workspaces for them. 

In a speech delivered by Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin during the conferment rites for the 30th Apolinario Mabini Awards at Malacañan Palace's Heroes Hall, President Marcos urged the concerned government agencies to address the present challenges faced by the PWDs.

"As President, I assure you that the government remains dedicated to addressing the challenges faced by our PWDs so that they can fully participate in shaping our society," President Marcos said as he stressed the need to create "bridges of opportunity, empathy, and understanding" for the PWDs. 

The President added that providing a healthy environment for PWDs is in pursuit of the government's goal for a "new Philippines that will leave nobody behind."

"I trust that the Department of Social Welfare and Development, the Department of Health,  our local government units, and all our partner-agencies shall continue to strengthen our programs and services that encourage PWDs to take part in nation-building," the President said. 

"Continue your various advocacies that reduce prejudice and promote the acceptance and empowerment of our PWDs to eliminate stigma, discrimination, and exclusion," he added.

The chief executive also called on the private sector to create inclusive workspaces that would promote diversity and equality for PWDs and would give them fair employment opportunities. 

Launched by the Philippine Foundation for Rehabilitation of the Disabled, Inc. (PFRD) in 1974, the Apolinario Mabini Awards gives recognition to individuals, groups and agencies with outstanding contributions to the upliftment of the welfare of PWDs.

The awards are composed of nine categories which include the Organization of Persons With Disabilities Award; Empowerment of Persons With Disabilities Award; Media Advocate Award; Manuel Agcaoili Employer of the Year Award (formerly Employer of the Year Award); Local Government Unit Award; Disability Friendly Establishment Award; Special Recognition Award; Filipino with Disability Award; and, the Apolinario Mabini Lifetime Achievement Award.

President Marcos also commended the PFRD for promoting measures to prevent disability; protect and rehabilitate the disabled; and, provide equal opportunities for PWDs.

"Through the Apolinario Mabini Awards, you have inspired us to go beyond our perceived limitations, embrace the immense potential within each of us, and foster a more inclusive Philippines," the President said.

Marcos also honored the awardees for the dedication to advocate for the PWDs and create a society where disability is not seen as an obstacle.

"The Mabini Awards reminds us that disability does not define a person's worth. Instead, it is a spark for innovation, resilience,  and ingenuity that enables people to do better and to do more," the President said.

"I thus thank this year's Mabini Awardees for breaking down barriers and championing the rights of persons with disabilities. All of you are beacons of hope, lighting the path towards a society that fully embraces all," he added.

Present during the conferment of awards were PFRD president Edgardo Garcia; Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri and his wife Audrey Tan-Zubiri who serves as chairperson of the 30th Apolinario Mabini Awards; and Jaime Silva, chairperson of the Screening Committee. | PND

OSVEREIGN WEALTH FUND MUST BE INSULATED FROM POLITICS TO ENSURE SUCCESS, SAYS PBBM

Politics should not intervene in the implementation of the newly signed Maharlika Investment Fund law to ensure its success, President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. said on Tuesday.

"Ang importante sa akin, 'yung aking nabanggit...ay napakasimple lang. Dapat ang mga desisyon na ginagawa ng mga namumuno ng Maharlika Fund ay hindi dahil sa politika, hindi dahil sa kung ano-ano pang ibang konsiderasyon, kung hindi kung ano 'yung pinakamaganda para sa fund," President Marcos said in a media interview during the launching of the DSWD's food stamps program in Tondo, Manila.

"Kung ano'ng magpapatibay nung fund, ano 'yung magpapalaki ng fund, ano 'yung mga investment na magpapaganda doon sa fund. Iyon ang kanilang dapat iniisip. Hindi ang dapat iniisip may eleksyon bukas, may eleksyon in one year."

Marcos told reporters that the initial proposal was that the President will be the Fund's chair, which he thinks is not proper because he is a politician. 

He also disagreed on putting the Finance secretary as its chair.

But Marcos said that since the government has interest in the Maharlika Fund it should have a representative. 

"Kaya't ang nangyari kung titingnan mo 'yung batas, ang DOF as the ex-officio member. Kasi ang pera galing sa gobyerno. Kailangan mayroon tayong representative sa board but hindi sila ang magpapatakbo," he pointed out.

Finance Secretary Benjamin Diokno said the Secretary of Finance will only serve in an ex officio capacity and will not run the fund and instead will be managed by the independent Chairperson of the 9-member Maharlika Investment Corp. 

The President signed on Tuesday RA 11954 or the Act Establishing the MIF, the Philippines' first-ever sovereign wealth fund.

The Fund will be invested in a wide range of assets, including foreign currencies, fixed-income instruments, domestic and foreign corporate bonds, joint ventures, mergers and acquisitions, real estate and high-impact infrastructure projects, and projects related to sustainable development. | PND

President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. signs the Maharlika Investment Fund (MIF) Act of 2023  in a ceremony at the Kalayaan Hall in Malacañan Palace on July 18, 2023.

The MIF is the Philippines' first-ever sovereign wealth fund aimed at optimizing the country's national funds by generating returns to support the Administration's economic goals.

With the signing of the MIF Act, the Administration is set to prepare the implementing rules and regulations (IRR) for the creation of the Maharlika Investments Corporation (MIC), which will act as the sole vehicle for the purpose of mobilizing and utilizing the MIF for investments in transactions to generate optimal returns on investments (ROIs).

The MIC is expected to have at least PhP75 billion in paid-up capital this year, with PhP50 billion sourced from the Land Bank of the Philippines and PhP25 billion from the Development Bank of the Philippines.

The Fund is targeted to be invested in a wide range of assets, including foreign currencies, fixed-income instruments, domestic and foreign corporate bonds, joint ventures, mergers and acquisitions, real estate and high-impact infrastructure projects, and projects that contribute to the attainment of sustainable development.

The Tzu Chi Bohol Foundation celebrated the graduation of its scholars on Saturday, with a ceremony held at the Tzu Chi Bohol Learning Center.

The foundation has been providing scholarships to deserving students from Bohol since 2007, and this year's graduating class included 25 students who completed their studies in various fields, including medicine, engineering, and education.

In his speech, foundation president, Mr. Joselito A. Villarosa, congratulated the graduates and their families, and thanked the foundation's donors for making this program possible.

"Education is a powerful tool that empowers individuals to pursue their dreams, make a positive impact on the world, and contribute to society," he said. "The Tzu Chi Bohol Foundation is proud to have played a role in helping these young people achieve their goals."

The graduates also spoke at the ceremony, expressing their gratitude to the foundation for its support.

"I am so grateful for the opportunity to have received a scholarship from the Tzu Chi Bohol Foundation," said one graduate, Ms. Maria Teresa C. Concepcion. "This scholarship has allowed me to pursue my dream of becoming a doctor, and I am confident that I will be able to use my skills to help others."

Another graduate, Mr. John Paul G. Estillore, said that the scholarship had helped him to overcome financial difficulties and focus on his studies.

"I am so grateful for the Tzu Chi Bohol Foundation's support," he said. "This scholarship has allowed me to achieve my dream of becoming an engineer, and I am confident that I will be able to use my skills to help build a better future for Bohol."

The Tzu Chi Bohol Foundation is a non-profit organization that was founded in 2007 by a group of Buddhist practitioners in Bohol. The foundation's mission is to promote compassion, peace, and human understanding through education, healthcare, and disaster relief.

The foundation's scholarship program is one of its most important initiatives, and it has helped to provide a brighter future for hundreds of young people in Bohol.

Congratulations to the Tzu Chi Bohol Scholars!

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has launched a new brand of governance and leadership campaign, "Bagong Pilipinas (New Philippines)," in a bid to implement an "all-inclusive plan for economic and social transformation."

Based on a memorandum circular signed by Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin on July 3, "Bagong Pilipinas" is characterized by a "principled, accountable and dependable government reinforced by unified institutions of society, whose common objective is to realize the goals and aspirations of every Filipino."

"Bagong Pilipinas is the overarching theme of the Administration's brand of governance and leadership, which calls for deep and fundamental transformation in all sectors of society and government, and fosters the State's commitment towards the attainment of comprehensive policy reforms and full economic recovery," the circular read.

Malacañang described the new campaign as being characterized "by a principled, accountable and dependable government."

The logo of Marcos Jr.'s new governance brand features interwoven blue and red semi-circles that seemingly form a sphere cradling the sun and 3 stars of the Philippine flag.

The President ordered all national government agencies and instrumentalities, including government-owned or -controlled corporations (GOCCs) and state universities and colleges (SUCs), to adopt the "Bagong Pilipinas" campaign in planning all their programs and activities; and use its logo in their letterheads, websites, official social media accounts, and other documents and instruments pertaining to flagship programs of the government.

A FEW TRUTHS ABOUT TOUGH TIMES

1. If you accept tough times are part of the seasons of life, it will keep you from sinking into depression

2. Maintain a healthy perspective. Going through tough times doesn't mean you are not blessed, you are actually being prepared for something great. Preparation is often not easy but it is the foundation of better things to come

3. Tough times will reveal to you your true friends and expose the fake ones

4. Tough times will introduce to you real friends who are attracted to your purpose

5. The best ideas tend to be conceptualized in tough times

6. Sometimes God allows you to go through tough times to wake you up and get your attention especially when you have become too familiar with Him

7. Sometimes you have to reach a dead end where no one but God can help you, so that no one but God can receive the glory

8. Great people have learnt the art of converting tough times into a path to being a master of something

9. There are some lessons that tough times will teach you that good times can't

10. Tough times will open your eyes to see opportunities and doors that complacent you did not

11. Some of us lack the courage to move past our current level and lack the initiative to take the next step on our own, tough times will catapult you to the next stage of your life that you are afraid to take

12. Tough times will make you naked so that you see yourself for who you truly are. Tough times will force you to be real with yourself, what are you really made of? Because when you are going through tough times, there is no one to impress, you have to be you

13. Most couples enter their best season after they reach rock bottom. That is when their true love is tested and they emerge stronger together

14. Instead of complaining about tough times, ask yourself "What am I being taught and how can I ride this wave to be better?"

15. Read biographies of the great personalities.
