  43. <div><i><a href="https://bravofilipino.com/">Bravofilipino</a> | KORONADAL CITY, 7 September 2025</i> — In line with the directives laid out by President Ferdinand &#8220;Bongbong&#8221; Marcos, Jr. during his recent State of the Nation Address, Education Secretary Sonny Angara highlighted key education reforms aimed at improving teachers’ welfare at the 2025 National Teachers&#8217; Month Kick-Off program.</div>
  44. </div>
  45. <div></div>
  46. <div></div>
  47. <div>
  48. <div>“Alam niyo po, I’ve been in the Department for a little over one year, at ‘di ko nakakalimutan ang pangunahing mga instruction ng ating mahal na Pangulo na si President Bongbong Marcos. Sabi niya, ‘Sonny, you must take care of our teachers, they are the heart of our educational system’,” Secretary Angara said.</div>
  49. <div></div>
  50. </div>
  51. <div></div>
  52. <div>
  53. <div>“At mula no’n, ‘yon ay top of the DepEd’s agenda. Kaya nakita niyo po, tuloy tuloy ang mga benepisyo, tuloy tuloy ang pag-alaga ng Department of Education sa ating guro.”</div>
  54. <div></div>
  55. </div>
  56. <div></div>
  57. <div>
  58. <div>Secretary Angara noted that the Department has reduced the number of school forms required from teachers by 57%—emphasizing the importance of allowing teachers to spend more time in the classroom rather than on administrative tasks.</div>
  59. <div></div>
  60. </div>
  61. <div></div>
  62. <div>
  63. <div>He also underscored President Marcos Jr.’s call for fair compensation for teachers rendering overtime services beyond school hours. On Saturday, Angara issued the Guidelines on the Payment of Overtime Services of Teachers, which provides clear guidance for educators in claiming overtime pay.</div>
  64. <div></div>
  65. </div>
  66. <div></div>
  67. <div>
  68. <div>To further support teachers, the Department has allocated ₱114.39 billion for Personnel Services under the FY 2026 National Expenditure Program. This ensures that salaries, benefits, and allowances are properly provided to teachers. It also supports the President’s goal of hiring additional teaching staff to achieve the ideal class size in schools.</div>
  69. <div></div>
  70. </div>
  71. <div></div>
  72. <div>
  73. <div>In addition, Angara shared that DepEd has fast-tracked the processing of the ₱7,000 medical allowance starting last month. Teachers may choose between an agency-issued HMO package or direct cash assistance for individual use. This program also prioritizes teachers serving in geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas.</div>
  74. <div></div>
  75. </div>
  76. <div></div>
  77. <div>
  78. <div>&#8220;‘Yan talaga ay galing sa puso ni PBBM na gusto niyang tulungan ang ating mga guro dahil sa paniniwala niya, you are our modern day heroes, kayo ang aming bayani. You are our heroes. You are our exemplars. You are our immortal,&#8221; Sec. Angara shared in his message to the teachers.</div>

  124. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sleep is often the first thing sacrificed when life gets busy, but it’s also the foundation of stable moods. Adults ideally need </span><b>7–8 hours of uninterrupted sleep</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> each night. Without it, our brains don’t fully recharge, leaving us tired, cranky, and emotionally reactive.</span></p>
  125. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you’re struggling with sleep, try setting a regular bedtime, avoiding screens an hour before bed, and keeping your bedroom cool and dark. Think of sleep as an investment in your patience, productivity, and peace of mind.</span></p>
  126. <h2><b>2. Nourish Your Body With a Balanced Diet</b></h2>
  127. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">What you eat plays a direct role in how you feel. Skipping meals or living on processed foods can spike your cortisol levels—the stress hormone—making you irritable and anxious. On the other hand, a balanced diet stabilizes your energy and mood.</span></p>
  128. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Aim for meals that include </span><b>fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, and healthy fats</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Don’t forget to hydrate—sometimes, a simple glass of water can calm irritability. And if you’re prone to emotional eating, be mindful: while food can comfort temporarily, it’s better to address the stressors at their root.</span></p>
  129. <h2><b>3. Move Your Body and Engage Your Mind</b></h2>
  130. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Exercise isn’t just about fitness—it’s one of the most effective mood stabilizers. Physical activity stimulates endorphins, often called the “happy hormones,” which instantly improve your outlook. Beyond that, exercise also engages both sides of the brain, helping with problem-solving, focus, and emotional balance.</span></p>
  131. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This doesn’t mean you need to train for a marathon. A brisk walk, yoga, dancing, or even 20 minutes of stretching can make a big difference. The key is consistency—find an activity you enjoy and stick with it.</span></p>
  132. <h2><b>4. Limit Screen Time</b></h2>
  133. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Too much time on TV, computers, or even scrolling on your phone can leave you drained and irritable. Not only does it eat into sleep, but the constant stimulation can also create anxiety and restlessness—especially when interrupted.</span></p>
  134. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Set boundaries around your screen use. Try a “tech-free hour” before bed or limit social media to specific times of the day. Replace that time with activities that nourish your spirit: reading, journaling, or connecting with your family.</span></p>
  135. <h2><b>5. Take Responsibility for Your Mindset</b></h2>
  136. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sometimes, mood swings aren’t just about sleep, diet, or stress—they come from within. Author Jeff Conley once said, </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">“We must take a check-up from the neck up.”</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> In other words, check your thoughts, attitudes, and reactions.</span></p>
  137. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Instead of letting stress spill over onto your family or coworkers, pause and ask yourself: </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Am I reacting, or responding?</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Practice deep breathing, gratitude journaling, or simple mindfulness techniques to reset your mood before it escalates. A positive mindset is like a muscle—the more you practice, the stronger it becomes.</span></p>
  138. <h2><b>Final Thoughts</b></h2>
  139. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Mood swings are a natural part of life, but they don’t have to dictate your happiness—or the happiness of those around you. By focusing on sleep, diet, exercise, mindful screen use, and self-awareness, you can take back control of your emotions and create a calmer, more joyful environment at home and work.</span></p>
  140. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Remember: happiness isn’t just about how you feel—it’s also about how you make others feel when they’re with you. By taking small, consistent steps, you can become a more patient, uplifting, and happier person to live with.</span></p>
  141. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">After all, the best gift you can give to your family and friends is a healthier, more balanced version of yourself.</span></p>

  160. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://bravofilipino.com/">Bravofilipino</a> | <em>Manila leg of 11th Bakunawa Fest commences at Centro de Turismo Intramuros </em>| <span style="font-weight: 400;">The 11th Bakunawa Fest launched the first part of its Manila leg on August 29, 2025, at the Centro de Turismo Intramuros.</span></p>
  161. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Presented by </span><b>E Unlimited</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, the </span><b>National Commission for Culture and the Arts – Sentro Rizal International Cultural Affairs Office</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, the </span><b>UP Film Institute</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, and the </span><b>Negros Museum</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, Bakunawa Fest is the Philippines’ first fantastic and genre film festival. Entirely volunteer-driven, it gathers filmmakers and artists dedicated to speculative storytelling. The festival takes its name from the </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bakunawa</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, a mythical creature in Philippine folklore believed to devour moons—a fitting symbol for a festival celebrating the strange, surreal, and sublime.</span></p>
  162. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The festival opened with the Southeast Asian premiere of the animated feature </span><b><i>Clarice’s Dream</i></b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> (2023) by </span><b>Fernando Gutierrez</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and </span><b>Guto Bicalho</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> of Brazil—a luminous and enchanting work that set a whimsical tone for the day.</span></p>
  163. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Following the morning festivities, the afternoon showcased eight (8) films from across the globe under the theme ‘Howls Beyond a Muted Soundscape.’ The featured films include ‘Old World’ (2024) by Roland Cartagena from the Philippines, ‘Master-piece | Karya’ (2024) by Afiq Affendi from Malaysia, ‘At the End of the Thread | Hariaren Amaieran’ (2025) by Aitor Molina from Spain, ‘The Christ and the Skull | El Cristo de la calavera’ (2023) by Chrus Lara (2023) from Spain, ‘Tigre i Tiger’ (2024) by Maria Victoria Sanchez Lara from Mexico, ‘Sewing Love’ (2024) by Xu Yuan from Jaoan, ‘The Story of my Meatlife | 肉にまつわる日常の話’ (2024) by Ishikawa Mai from Japan, and ‘Sound from the Kitchen’ (2024) by Lee Phongsavanh from Laos.</span></p>
  164. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The final screening block carried the dual themes &#8220;Lore of Folk, Lure the Light&#8221; and &#8220;Gasping for the Unseen.&#8221; These eight (8) films explored horror, drama, and folklore with distinctive cultural lenses. The featured films are ‘Radikals’ (2024) by Arvin Belarmino from the Philippines, ‘The Rubber Tappers | </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">រឿង៖</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">អ្នកចៀរជ័រ’ </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">(2024) by Rotha Moeng from Cambodia, ‘The Shadow of Dawn | Eha Vari’ (2024) by Olga Stalev, ‘The Dreamcatcher | El Atrapasueños’ (2024) by Patrikios Alum from Spain, ‘Isang Gabing Nawala ang Diyos’ (2024) by Jose Miguel Garcia from the Philippines, ‘Diving for Air’ (2024) by Tang Kang Sheng from Singapore, ‘Caraingin’ (2025) by Edgar Allan Reyes from the Philippines, and ‘The Night is Alive’ (2024) by Vincent Ibut from the Philippines.</span></p>

  180. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://bravofilipino.com/">Bravofilipino</a> | <span style="font-weight: 400;">Fueling Your Home Business with Determination and Drive | Discover how determination and motivation can help you build and grow a successful home business. Learn mindset tips, the power of seizing opportunities, and why perseverance is your best business tool.</span></p>
  181. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Starting a home-based business is no small feat. For many entrepreneurs, the journey begins with an idea and a dream, but what sustains the climb to success is determination. More than capital, more than luck, it’s that inner drive, the refusal to give up, that separates those who thrive from those who simply try.</span></p>
  182. <h2><b>The Power of Wanting It Enough</b></h2>
  183. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At the core of every successful entrepreneur is desire. Not just a casual wish, but a deep, burning want that fuels late nights, tough decisions, and creative problem-solving. When you truly want your home business to succeed, you’ll find ways to make things happen, even when resources seem limited.</span></p>
  184. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Think of it this way: success isn’t out there waiting for someone else to hand it to you. It’s already within you, waiting for the right moment to be unlocked. The question is, are you ready to take that first step and keep moving forward even when challenges appear?</span></p>
  185. <h2><b>Opportunities Don’t Wait</b></h2>
  186. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One of the hardest truths about business is that opportunities don’t linger. They show up, sometimes quietly, and if you’re not ready to act, they pass you by. For home entrepreneurs, this could mean a chance to sell at a local fair, a partnership proposal, or a new client who heard about you through word of mouth.</span></p>
  187. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Not everyone gets the same shot. Some people never have the chance to start their own business. That’s why, when an opportunity lands on your lap, you can’t afford to hesitate. Grab it, nurture it, and make the most out of it. Remember: you already hold the tools: your willpower, determination, and creativity to turn that opportunity into something bigger.</span></p>
  188. <h2><b>Building the Right Mindset</b></h2>
  189. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Running a home business can be overwhelming. From juggling family responsibilities to handling every aspect of your operations—marketing, accounting, sales, and customer service—it’s easy to get distracted or discouraged. That’s why mindset matters.</span></p>
  190. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The first step is prioritization. Ask yourself: </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">What are the most important things that move my business forward?</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Focus on those before anything else. Don’t let minor tasks steal the time and energy meant for long-term growth.</span></p>
  191. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Equally important is maintaining a positive attitude. Entrepreneurship is filled with setbacks, but it’s your perspective that determines whether those setbacks break you or make you stronger. A growth mindset allows you to see every failure as feedback, a lesson that gets you closer to your goal.</span></p>
  192. <h2><b>Motivation: The Everyday Fuel</b></h2>
  193. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Determination sets the foundation, but motivation keeps you moving. For many home entrepreneurs, the biggest motivation is family, the desire to give their loved ones a better life. That vision of putting food on the table, paying for your children’s education, or securing a more comfortable home often provides the strongest push during difficult days.</span></p>
  194. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But motivation doesn’t always have to come from big dreams. Sometimes, it’s about celebrating small wins: your first online sale, your first returning customer, or the moment someone outside your circle believes in your product. These little victories remind you that your efforts matter and that progress, no matter how small, is still progress.</span></p>
  195. <h2><b>Success is a Journey, Not a Sprint</b></h2>
  196. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The truth is, building a successful home business isn’t an overnight story. It takes consistent effort, patience, and resilience. Determination is the compass, motivation is the fuel, and your actions are the vehicle that drives you forward.</span></p>
  197. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So, if you’re thinking about starting or growing your home business, remember this: you already have what it takes. Your success begins the moment you decide not just to dream, but to act.

  218.

  221. <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-807 aligncenter" src="https://headlinesph.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Imagination-Peoples-the-Air-2-1-1024x576.jpg" alt="" /></figure>

  225. <p class="has-small-font-size" style="text-align: center;"><em>The PHL GOH core team in front of the exhibition From Calamba to Frankfurt: Jose Rizal and the Frankfurt Book Fair, curated by Lisa Guerrero-Nakpil.</em></p>
  226. <p style="text-align: left;">The <strong>2,000-square-meter Philippine Guest of Honour Pavilion (PHL GOH), </strong>with the theme <strong><em>The imagination peoples the air</em></strong>, is a living, immersive stage brimming with Filipino creativity, rather than just a static exhibition.</p>
  227.  
  228.  
  229.  
  230. <p>Curated by <strong>Patrick Flores</strong> and designed by <strong>Stanley Ruiz</strong>, the Pavilion highlights the integrity of Philippine materials and technologies, conversing with industrial elements, and the ingenuity to repurpose and refunction. The open communal space, with modular rattan and bamboo seating, offers visitors a flexible setting to explore <strong>500 Philippine book titles</strong> on display. The translucent walls double as a canvas for works by <strong>Gary-Ross Pastrana</strong>, <strong>Mervin</strong> <strong>Malonzo</strong>, and seminal artist <strong>David Medalla.</strong></p>
  231.  
  232.  
  233.  
  234. <p>The PHL GOH Pavilion will feature over <strong>100 talks</strong>, <strong>readings</strong>, and <strong>performances</strong> curated by <strong>Karina Bolasco</strong>, exploring <strong>urgent global issues</strong>, including <strong>human rights,</strong> <strong>democracy,</strong> <strong>climate change</strong>, <strong>geopolitics, children’s literature, religion, race, queer stories</strong>, and more, from the perspective of our diverse culture and multiple languages.</p>
  235.  
  236.  
  237.  
  238. <p>A distinctive element of the Philippine GOH program is that conversations end with performances that echo the topics. An example is the discussion <strong><em>How Do We Write About</em></strong> <strong><em>Climate Change?</em></strong> featuring poet <strong>Marjorie Evasco,</strong> with <strong>Maria Paz Luna</strong> and <strong>Red</strong> <strong>Constantino</strong> that ends with a performance of National Artist <strong>Ryan Cayabyab</strong>’s song <strong><em>Paraiso</em></strong> by <strong>The Philippine Madrigal Singers and Song Weavers Philippines</strong>.</p>
  239.  
  240.  
  241.  
  242. <p>Panels <strong>on human rights</strong> and <strong>democracy</strong> are extensive: <strong><em>Framing Stories: Art and Film Resist</em></strong>, <strong><em>Philippine Media: Struggles for Freedom</em></strong>, and <strong><em>West Philippine Sea: Ecology and Assertion</em></strong>, among others.</p>
  243.  
  244.  
  245.  
  246. <p><strong><em>Poetry for Freedom, Justice, and Peace </em></strong>will run twice a day to present readings and performances as expressions of solidarity with Gaza and Ukraine, and all other struggles in the world. <strong><em>A Solidarity for Hope </em></strong>will feature <strong>National Artist Virgilio Almario</strong>, Turkish writer and President of PEN International <strong>Burhan Sönmez</strong>, and Indonesian author <strong>Ayu Utami</strong>.</p>
  247.  
  248.  
  249.  
  250. <p><strong>Nobel Peace Prize laureate Maria Ressa</strong> and trauma journalist <strong>Patricia Evangelista</strong> will hold talks at the Philippine GOH Pavilion, as well as central stages.</p>
  251.  
  252.  
  253.  
  254. <p>Performers span traditional and contemporary sounds: <strong>Morobeats</strong> (hip hop), violin duo <strong>Justin</strong> <strong>and Janna</strong> <strong>Texon</strong>, <strong>Kuwerdas Filipinas</strong> (symphonic rondalla), and <strong>Akayu </strong>(Kalinga music), to name a few. National Living Treasure <strong>Rosie Sula </strong>joins the world-renowned choir <strong>The</strong> <strong>Philippine Madrigal Singers and Song Weavers Philippines</strong>.</p>
  255.  
  256.  
  257.  
  258. <p><strong>Beyond the PHL GOH Pavilion</strong>, the Philippines extends its presence at the book fair with the <strong>Philippine Stand</strong>, the <strong>Asia Stage</strong>, and the <strong>Comics Stand</strong>. <strong>The Philippine Stand</strong> serves as the central hub for business and rights negotiations, bringing together 52 major, indie and academic publishers. They will present titles under the genres of <strong>fiction, graphic novels, children’s</strong> <strong>books and young adult, nonfiction, poetry and new adult</strong>.</p>
  259.  
  260.  
  261.  
  262. <p><strong>The Asia Stage</strong> (co-sponsored by Rex Education and FBM) hosts hourly B2B talks on the Southeast Asian market, covering topics like <strong>censorship, comics, and generative AI in</strong> <strong>universities</strong>. Across the three venues, there will be <strong>65 sessions of talks, workshops, and</strong> <strong>discussions.</strong></p>
  263.

  274. <p><strong><em>Outside the Fairgrounds: Across Germany and Beyond</em></strong></p>
  275.  
  276.  
  277.  
  278. <p>The Philippines has joined the Frankfurt Book Fair since 1998 and yearly since 2014, but its Guest of Honour role brings greater visibility and demands a broad literary and cultural program across Germany and Europe.</p>
  279.  
  280.  
  281.  
  282. <p>The country partnered with leading German institutions and museums to represent Philippine art, scholarship, and exhibitions on topics such as <strong>ethnographic collections, photography,</strong> <strong>architecture, folklore, comics and graphic novels, and Rizal’s ties to Heidelberg,</strong> <strong>alongside film screenings, concerts, performances, and publications.</strong></p>
  283.  
  284.  
  285.  
  286. <p>The <strong>offsite literary program</strong> features <strong>readings and signings by translated authors</strong>,<strong> conversations</strong>, <strong>discussions</strong> and <strong>workshops</strong>, and <strong>participation in German and Swiss literary</strong> <strong>festivals</strong>. Highlights include <strong><em>Jose on the Go: A Rizal Stroll with Ambeth Ocampo</em></strong> in Frankfurt and <strong><em>Booked at Zentralbibliothek: Filipino Plot Twists</em></strong> with writers <strong>Jose Dalisay</strong> and <strong>Beverly</strong> <strong>W. Siy.</strong></p>
  287.  
  288.  
  289.  
  290. <p>At <strong><em>Romanfabrik, Komiks Live!</em></strong> brings graphic novels to life. In Hanau, <strong><em>Liwaliw</em></strong><strong> at</strong> <strong>Kulturforum </strong>offers Filipino games, food, and music.</p>
  291.  
  292.

  298. <p><strong><em>The Philippines as a Creative Hub in Asia</em></strong></p>
  299.  
  300.  
  301.  
  302. <p>The Philippines enters Frankfurt with one of Asia’s fast-growing creative economies, valued at PhP 1.94 trillion in 2024—7.3 percent of Philippine GDP. It covers industries such as media, digital services, advertising, publishing, music, visual arts, traditional culture, and cultural events.</p>
  303.  
  304.  
  305.  
  306. <p>While publishing’s contribution is small in terms of numbers, publishing plays a key role in visibility, opening markets for film, music, design, and tourism. In 2023, enterprises registered with the NBDB reported sales of <strong>₱13.76 billion, an uptick from 2020’s all-time low sales of</strong> <strong>₱4.97 billion</strong>. Central to the GOH presentation is the NBDB’s Translation Subsidy Program, which has supported the translation of <strong>173 titles sold</strong> across languages and genres since 2024.</p>
  307.  
  308.  
  309.  
  310. <p><strong><em>A Visionary and A Dream Realized</em></strong></p>
  311.  
  312.  
  313.  
  314. <p>In 2015, Anvil Publishing Manager Bolasco sought Legarda’s support for a modest 60-square-meter stand at the Frankfurt Book Fair. Legarda later envisioned a bolder goal for the Philippines to become Guest of Honour—only the second Southeast Asian nation to do so. Legarda aligned cultural agencies, secured funding, and rallied institutions behind the cause.</p>
  315.  
  316.  
  317.  
  318. <p>Today’s Guest of Honour participation would not have been possible without the visionary leadership, dogged determination, and unrelenting passion of Senator Loren Legarda, the primary moving force of arts and culture in the Philippines. The vision is executed by PHL GOH co-directors: NBDB’s Executive Director <strong>Charisse Aquino-Tugade</strong> and NCCA’s <strong>Aurea</strong> <strong>Brigino Lopez</strong>. In support is a core team composed veteran players in publishing and creatives themselves—<strong>Bolasco, Ani Almario, Kristian Cordero, Neni Sta. Romana-Cruz, and Nida</strong> <strong>Ramirez</strong>, alongside a broad coalition of cultural workers and partners.</p>
  319.  
  320.  
  321.  
  322. <p><strong>The PHL GOH </strong>is a project of the <strong>National Book Development Board</strong> (NBDB), the <strong>National</strong> <strong>Commission for Culture and the Arts</strong> (NCCA), the <strong>Department of Foreign Affairs</strong> (DFA), and the <strong>Office of Senator Loren Legarda</strong>. The book fair will run from October 15 to 19, 2025.</p>

  347. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="https://bravofilipino.com/">Bravofilipino</a> | <strong>MANILA, Philippines –</strong> Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Secretary <strong>Ma. Cristina A. “Cris” Roque</strong> had a full slate of engagements recently, underscoring her proactive approach to inclusive economic growth, consumer protection, industrial development, and governance reforms in the construction sector.
  348.  
  349. <h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Strengthening MSMEs in Manila</strong></h4>
  350.  
  351. Secretary Roque met with Manila Vice Mayor Angela Lei “Chi” Ilagan Atienza, together with officials from Small Business Corporation (SB Corp.), to explore collaborations aimed at boosting micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in the city.
  352.  
  353.  
  354. Discussions focused on financing programs, referral systems, and joint activities such as caravans and livelihood fairs. According to DTI, the effort is part of its continuing push to expand MSMEs’ access to capital, enhance entrepreneurial opportunities, and drive inclusive local economic development.
  355.  
  356. <h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Partnership with the Senate</strong></h4>
  357.  
  358. In another meeting, Secretary Roque sat down with Senator Rodante D. Marcoleta, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Trade, Commerce, and Entrepreneurship. Their discussion centered on strengthening coordination between DTI and the Senate on issues such as consumer protection, business growth, and regulatory reforms needed to improve the ease of doing business in the country.
  359.  
  360.  
  361. The collaboration signals stronger alignment between the executive and legislative branches in advancing policies that protect consumers while empowering Filipino entrepreneurs.
  362.  
  363. <h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Ensuring Product Safety and Compliance</strong></h4>
  364.  
  365. The DTI also conducted an inspection visit to Hocheng Philippines Corporation (HCG), a leading local manufacturer of ceramic plumbing fixtures. Secretary Roque emphasized the critical importance of upholding Philippine National Standards (PNS) and ensuring that all products circulating in the domestic market meet the safety and technical requirements set by the Bureau of Philippine Standards (BPS).
  366.  
  367.  
  368. The move is part of DTI’s mandate to safeguard consumers while ensuring fair competition among manufacturers.
  369.  
  370. <h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Restoring Integrity in Construction Regulation</strong></h4>
  371.  
  372. Meanwhile, in a separate announcement, Secretary Roque revealed that she has placed the Construction Industry Authority of the Philippines (CIAP) and its implementing boards—including the Philippine Contractors Accreditation Board (PCAB)—under her direct supervision.
  373.  
  374.  
  375. “Placing them under my direct supervision will ensure that order, transparency and accountability is restored within these agencies,” Roque said.
  376.  
  377.  
  378. She stressed that “full transparency and cooperation are mandatory, and those who breach the trust and mandate entrusted to us will be held accountable.”
  379.  
  380.  
  381. This intervention, she explained, is meant to prevent mismanagement and strengthen governance in an industry critical to infrastructure and public trust. The move also builds on digitalization gains already established by PCAB—including online licensing and e-payment systems, which provide a strong platform for reforms.
  382.  
  383.  
  384. PCAB has already established strong digital systems during the height of the pandemic in 2020, under the leadership of the board and former Executive Director Atty. Herbert Matienzo. These include online licensing, e-payments, real-time tracking, and remote accessibility, which streamlined processes during the pandemic and remain crucial for reforms today. With Secretary Roque’s direct supervision, these digital tools provide a reliable platform to strengthen accountability, transparency, and efficiency across CIAP and PCAB. The integration of leadership oversight and digital transformation signals a new era of good governance and restored trust in the construction industry, ensuring higher standards and reduced opportunities for corruption moving forward.
  385.  
  386. <h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>A Comprehensive Agenda</strong></h4>
  387.  
  388. The day’s series of engagements highlights Secretary Roque’s multi-pronged approach to trade and industry governance:
  389.  
  390. <ul class="wp-block-list">
  391. <li>Supporting <strong>MSME development</strong> at the local level.</li>
  392. <li>Strengthening ties with the <strong>Senate</strong> to drive reforms.</li>
  393. <li>Enforcing <strong>product safety standards</strong> through factory compliance checks.</li>
  394. <li>Overhauling governance in the <strong>construction sector</strong> to restore integrity.</li>
  395. </ul>
  396.  
  397. By combining grassroots support, legislative collaboration, strict regulatory enforcement, and institutional reforms, the DTI under Roque is shaping what it describes as a “renewed focus on accountability, competitiveness, and inclusive growth.”

  417. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://bravofilipino.com/">Bravofilipino</a> | <em>Etiqa Philippines Launches Takaful Personal Accident – Affordable, Values-Based Protection for Every Filipino Family </em>| <span style="font-weight: 400;">Life is full of surprises — and for families, nothing is more important than being prepared. That’s why Etiqa Philippines, a regional leader in both conventional insurance and Takaful solutions, has launched Takaful Personal Accident (PA), an affordable and compassionate form of insurance designed to protect breadwinners and their loved ones in times of need.</span></p>
  418. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For as low as ₱1,400 a year, Takaful PA provides financial support in case of accident, injury, or loss of life — giving families a safety net when it matters most. And because Etiqa knows that time is critical during a crisis, claims are processed quickly so you can focus on recovery and caring for your loved ones.</span></p>
  419. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">What makes Takaful PA different is that it’s ethical and Shariah-compliant, built on the principles of mutual assistance where members contribute to a pooled fund that supports those in need. If there’s a surplus</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">at the end of the policy year, it may be shared back with members — Etiqa’s way of giving back to families who look out for one another.</span></p>
  420. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The plan comes in three variants to suit different needs and budgets, but all offer the same promise: comprehensive protection, ethical investments, and the trusted service Etiqa is known for — backed by Maybank Group’s global expertise and experience in both conventional insurance and Islamic finance.</span></p>
  421. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“We are thrilled to introduce our first Takaful offering, the Personal Accident plan, a testament to Etiqa’s unwavering commitment to ethical finance and inclusive protection,” said Anthony Lou Bernabe, President and CEO of Etiqa Philippines. “Filipinos can expect more innovative Takaful solutions ahead — all designed to uplift communities and ensure that every member shares in the security and prosperity they help create.”</span></p>
  422. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Etiqa’s mission is simple yet powerful: to make the world a better place — by building products that protect not just individuals, but the communities they belong to.</span></p>
  423. <p><b>Safeguard your family’s future today — visit </b><a href="http://www.etiqa.com.ph"><b>www.etiqa.com.ph</b></a><b> to buy your Takaful PA plan.</b></p>

  439. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://bravofilipino.com/">Bravofilipino</a> | Once upon a time, blogs were nothing more than online diaries — virtual journals where people shared thoughts, rants, or even their latest food trip. Fast forward to today, and blogging has transformed into one of the most powerful <strong>free internet marketing strategies</strong> available. From side hustlers to startup founders, blogging has become a reliable way to grow visibility, attract new customers, and build long-term authority online.</p>
  440.  
  441.  
  442.  
  443. <p>The best part? <strong>You don’t need a big budget to start.</strong> With the right approach, blogging can turn into a marketing powerhouse that works 24/7 to bring traffic, leads, and even sales. If you’re between <strong>21 to 55 years old</strong> and serious about growing your career, business, or personal brand, it’s time to see blogging not just as a hobby—but as a game-changing marketing tool.</p>
  444.  
  445.  
  446.  
  447. <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>What Exactly is Blogging?</strong></h3>
  448.  
  449.  
  450.  
  451. <p>At its core, blogging is simply creating and publishing content online. The term “blog” came from “weblog,” but it’s now widely recognized as a website that publishes posts regularly. Unlike a static business website, a blog is dynamic—it keeps evolving with new updates, insights, and conversations.</p>
  452.  
  453.  
  454.  
  455. <p>The beauty of blogging lies in its flexibility:</p>
  456.  
  457.  
  458.  
  459. <ul class="wp-block-list">
  460. <li>It can be <strong>personal</strong> (sharing experiences or opinions).</li>
  461.  
  462.  
  463.  
  464. <li>It can be <strong>professional</strong> (used to market products and services).</li>
  465.  
  466.  
  467.  
  468. <li>Or it can be both—giving your brand a human touch while still boosting your digital presence.</li>
  469. </ul>
  470.  
  471.  
  472.  
  473. <p>And because platforms like <strong>WordPress, Blogger, and Medium</strong> make setup so easy, anyone can start a blog in just a few minutes.</p>
  474.  
  475.  
  476.  
  477. <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Why Blogging is the Smart Marketer’s Secret Weapon</strong></h3>
  478.  
  479.  
  480.  
  481. <p>If you’re still on the fence about blogging, here are powerful reasons why it works as a free internet marketing method:</p>
  482.  
  483.  
  484.  
  485. <h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>1. Keep Customers in the Loop</strong></h4>
  486.  
  487.  
  488.  
  489. <p>Launching a new product? Running a special promo? Your blog is the perfect place to announce updates. Unlike static web pages, a blog is conversational—making customers feel more engaged with your brand story.</p>
  490.  
  491.  
  492.  
  493. <h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>2. Build a Content Library That Works for You</strong></h4>
  494.  
  495.  
  496.  
  497. <p>Every post you publish becomes an <strong>asset</strong> that stays searchable on Google. Months (or even years) later, people can still find your blog when they search for topics you’ve written about. This means your efforts compound over time.</p>
  498.  
  499.  
  500.  
  501. <h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>3. Share Your Expertise &amp; Build Trust</strong></h4>
  502.  
  503.  
  504.  
  505. <p>Writing about your industry, product reviews, or giving practical advice instantly positions you as an expert. And in today’s competitive world, <strong>trust is currency.</strong></p>
  506.  
  507.  
  508.  
  509. <h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>4. Boost Your SEO Game</strong></h4>
  510.  
  511.  
  512.  
  513. <p>Google loves fresh, valuable content. By including the right <strong>keywords, links, and resources</strong>, your blog can climb search rankings, making it easier for potential customers to find you.</p>
  514.  
  515.  
  516.  
  517. <h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>5. Earn Through Affiliate Marketing</strong></h4>
  518.  
  519.  
  520.  
  521. <p>Blogs aren’t just for branding—they can also generate income. By adding <strong>affiliate links</strong> or sponsored content, you can monetize your blog while continuing to market your main business.</p>
  522.  
  523.  
  524.  
  525. <h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>6. Gather Feedback and Build Community</strong></h4>
  526.  
  527.  
  528.  
  529. <p>The comment section of your blog is more than just a chat box—it’s free market research. You’ll know what your audience loves, what they’re confused about, and what improvements they want.</p>
  530.  
  531.  
  532.  
  533. <h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>7. Expand Your Network</strong></h4>
  534.  
  535.  
  536.  
  537. <p>Other bloggers, businesses, and even influencers may link back to your posts if they find them valuable. These backlinks not only grow your SEO but also expand your reach across online communities.</p>
  538.  
  539.  
  540.  
  541. <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>How to Start Blogging Without Stress</strong></h3>
  542.  
  543.  
  544.  
  545. <p>The good news: you don’t need to be a tech wizard. Starting a blog is easier than ever. Here are three practical ways to get started:</p>
  546.  
  547.  
  548.  
  549. <ol class="wp-block-list">
  550. <li><strong>Use Free Platforms</strong> – Sites like <strong>Blogger, WordPress.com, or Medium</strong> let you set up a blog without paying for hosting. This is great if you’re just testing the waters.</li>
  551.  
  552.  
  553.  
  554. <li><strong>Invest in Self-Hosted Blogs</strong> – If you’re serious about growing your brand, a <strong>self-hosted WordPress site</strong> gives you more control, customization, and credibility.</li>
  555.

  588. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://bravofilipino.com/">Bravo Filipino</a> | Administrasyong PBBM , Dinala ang YAKAP Caravan sa Region III | <strong data-start="211" data-end="247">BALER, AURORA, Setyembre 1, 2025</strong> – Para matiyak na malusog—pisikal at mental—ang mga paaralan at komunidad, pinangunahan ni Pangulong Ferdinand “Bongbong” R. Marcos Jr. at Kalihim ng Edukasyon Sonny Angara ang Yaman ng Kalusugan (YAKAP) Caravan ngayong araw sa Aurora National High School.</p>
  589. <p data-start="512" data-end="900">Ang caravan ay bahagi ng CLASS+ (Clinics for Learners’ Access to School-health Services Plus), programa ng Department of Education (DepEd) at PhilHealth na nag-uugnay sa mga clinic ng paaralan at lokal na health system. Ipinatutupad ito sa ilalim ng PhilHealth Konsulta, ang pangunahing serbisyong pangkalusugan na nagbibigay ng libreng konsultasyon, laboratory tests, at gamot.</p>
  590. <p data-start="902" data-end="1219">Pinalawak at pinalakas na ngayon ng PhilHealth ang Konsulta bilang bagong YAKAP Program. Layunin nitong alagaan ang kalusugan ng lahat ng Pilipino sa pamamagitan ng libreng check-up, laboratory tests, cancer screening, at gamot. Bawat miyembro ay may benepisyong hanggang ₱20,000 halaga ng gamot bawat taon.</p>
  591. <p data-start="1221" data-end="1495">Sa caravan sa Aurora, mahigit 200 estudyante sa elementarya ang sumailalim sa libreng eye check-up. Samantala, higit 350 guro, non-teaching staff, at high school students ang nakinabang sa iba’t ibang medical services gaya ng X-ray, ECG, urinalysis, at ultrasound.</p>
  592. <p data-start="1497" data-end="1971">Ang aktibidad na ito ay kasunod ng matagumpay na caravan sa Esteban Abada Elementary School sa Quezon City noong Hunyo 18, 2025, na dinaluhan nina Secretary Angara, Health Secretary Ted Herbosa, at Mayor Joy Belmonte. Sa tulong ng 1Life Philippines at pakikipag-ugnayan ng DepEd, DOH, PhilHealth, at mga LGU, naihatid ang mga serbisyong medikal para sa mga estudyante, guro, at kawani. Target ng DepEd na palawakin pa ang caravan at CLASS+ program sa iba pang rehiyon.</p>
  593. <p data-start="1973" data-end="2308">Binigyang-diin ni Secretary Angara ang kahalagahan ng pagtutulungan para sa kalusugan sa paaralan:<br data-start="2071" data-end="2074" />“Ang kalusugan ng ating school communities ang pundasyon ng de-kalidad na edukasyon. Sa pamamagitan ng CLASS+ at YAKAP, sinisiguro nating may lakas at sigla ang DepEd family para maabot ang ating mga kolektibong layunin,” aniya.</p>
  594. <p data-start="2310" data-end="2621">Samantala, binigyang-diin ni Pangulong Bongbong Marcos na ang mga programang tulad ng CLASS+ at YAKAP ay patunay ng “whole-of-nation approach” ng kanyang administrasyon. Sa tulong ng mga pribadong katuwang, tiniyak ng pamahalaan ang suporta para sa pamilyang Pilipino—lalo na para sa mga guro at kabataan.</p>
