On this day, November 29, 1898, the revolutionary government led by General Emilio Aguinaldo formally declared the separation of Church and State, recognizing the equality of all forms of worship in the Philippines.

Influenced by the Constitutions of Mexico, Belgium, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Brazil, and France, the debate centered on the provision that aimed to establish Catholicism as the official religion of the State.

Despite debates and arguments on the subject, the Congress voted on it with a tie result, resulting in the victory of the separation of Church and State by just a single vote.

The decision later became a key foundation of Philippine democracy, demonstrating not only the nationalistic and democratic orientation of those who supported the separation, but also their strong awareness and understanding of the country's historical path.

The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) defended its statement that PHP 500 is enough to prepare a basic Noche Buena meal for a small family, as mentioned on November 28, 2025.

Trade Secretary Cristina Roque pointed out that various items included are ham, spaghetti, macaroni salad, and pandesal for a family of four, based on the 2025 DTI Noche Buena price guide.

She added that costs might fluctuate according to the family size, and that some families prefer simpler celebrations, using the remaining money for gifts or other necessities.

“Kasya ang PHP 500 pero depende sa bilang ng miyembro ng pamilya. Karaniwan, mom, dad, at dalawang anak ang sakop nito,” Roque said.

The statement, however, drew criticism from lawmakers, labor groups, and netizens who expressed that the amount given was too low considering the current situation of the majority of Filipinos, among others.

Today is a day of appreciating its beauty, lamenting its value, and celebrating the people who worked passionately behind it. Today is the Illustration Day!

The celebration was started by the Quentin Blake Centre in the United Kingdom and is meant to celebrate the art of illustration and its impact on society.

Illustration refers to a visualization made by an artist to explain information. Long way after Gutenberg invented the printing press, there are many ways artists illustrate, from drawing to digital art, and even lithography. Illustration is found in many industries, such as news, multimedia, graphic design, and many more.

Information has always been effectively served by the hard work of illustrators worldwide.

Thus, let us celebrate this day by holding a pencil, a piece of paper, and an endless amount of interest and imagination, and try to illustrate the beauty of the world that is right in front of our eyes.
