Cats, with their incredible charm, fill our lives with joy and happiness, and like any other pets, they deserve to be treated with love and respect. Therefore, our furry owners! Use this month as a bonding time to do regular veterinary check-ups, maintain proper nutrition, and do amazing activities that can contribute to your cat’s overall well-being! To every purr and every gentle nudge, Show your love with a heartfelt hug. With every scratch,

  By: Laidel Hizola Photo By: Angelo Taperi It was August 21, 1983, when the tarmac at Manila International Airport, now known as Ninoy Aquino International Airport, became the stage for a moment that would forever change the course of Philippine history. Senator Ninoy Aquino Jr., the man who had dared to dream of a free and democratic Philippines, returned from exile. But before his feet could touch the ground of the homeland he loved, an assassin’s bullet ended his life. The country stood still, shocked and grief-stricken, but his death was not in vain.  Today, the values that Ninoy stood for—courage, conviction, and the undying hope for a better tomorrow—are alive and well. They resonate in the youth who march in the streets, in the activists who boldly speak truth to power, and in every ordinary citizen who dares to dream of a brighter Philippines. As we remember Ninoy Aquino today, let’s do more than just recall his words; let’s live by them. Let’s stand up for what’s right. Be fe

Farmworkers are essential to the agricultural industry. They engage in physically demanding activities such as planting, growing, and harvesting crops. Their contributions are vital to both food security and the global economy since their labor guarantees a consistent supply of food. There are several ways to honor farmworkers on this day, such as paying them a personal visit and saying "thank you" or bringing attention to their important work and the struggles they face. So, let's take a moment on this Farmworker Appreciation Day to express our appreciation to those who really keep the world fed.
