10 outstanding Manila SK officials per district honored

"AS LONG as we all provide honest and true service, we will not stray from the path of public service."

This was emphasized by Manila Mayor Honey Lacuna after commending youth leaders in Manila for honoring 10 outstanding Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) officials from each district during a flagraising ceremony at City Hall on Monday.

In his message, Lacuna congratulated the awardees in the various categories and said that the local government of Manila has always considered the youth to be the future of the city and the country as a whole.

"I salute you for contributing so much to the betterment of our city at such a young age. Keep up the good work because you are the ones your fellow youths look up to," said Lacuna.

The mayor also recognized and thanked the staff of the city's Youth Development Bureau for their guidance of youth in many ways.
"Congratulations to you for guiding our youth to choose the right path so that they can improve their daily activities," Lacuna added.
The lady mayor also encouraged all city government employees to be happy and love their work and to be guided by truth and honesty in the performance of their duties.

"When we provide honest and genuine service, we are on the right path, so we will continue to work hard. If we love what we do, it is not work, so let's just enjoy it so that those we serve can feel it too," the mayor said. (( MARISA SON ))

The Philippines and Japan have further deepened their collaboration on improving public employment services, following a high-level meeting between labor officials of both countries on March 13–14, 2025, in Tokyo.

The delegation from the Philippine Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), led by Undersecretary Carmela I. Torres, met with senior officials from Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) to advance the Japan-WAPES Joint Project, which aims to modernize and innovate employment facilitation systems.

“This engagement allows us to learn from Japan’s advanced employment services while refining our approaches to ensure inclusive and efficient employment facilitation in the Philippines,” said Undersecretary Torres. “Strengthening our PESO network is key to achieving our shared employment goals.”

The two-day dialogue built on initial discussions held in Manila last February and centered on the Philippines’ PESO Five-Point Agenda, a national strategy to institutionalize Public Employment Service Offices (PESOs), improve functionality, foster strategic partnerships, upskill officers, and pursue digital transformation.

Japan’s Hello Work system served as a model during the visit, with Philippine delegates gaining first-hand insights into its use of AI-powered job-matching platforms, real-time labor market analytics, and online employment services.

The Philippine delegation included Bureau of Local Employment Director Patrick P. Patriwirawan, Jr., DOLE-NCR Regional Director Sarah Buena S. Mirasol, and PESO Managers Association of the Philippines (PESOMAP) Vice President for Luzon Romualdo Garcia.

Japanese officials, led by MHLW Employment Security Bureau Director-General Masahiko Yamada and Assistant Minister Hideki Okumura, shared best practices on labor market governance, employer engagement, and integrated support systems combining job placement with social protection programs such as employment insurance.

The delegation also visited Hello Work Chiba, where they observed the use of technology to streamline employment services and support job seekers, including youth and vulnerable workers.

Key discussions also explored career development strategies, labor market systems, and training PESO officers in advanced job counseling and career coaching — mirroring Japan’s emphasis on continuous capacity-building for employment service providers.

Both sides reaffirmed their commitment to future collaboration through study visits, technical exchanges, and policy dialogues, positioning the Japan-WAPES Joint Project as a cornerstone of innovation in public employment services in the region.

Paalam sa magbalaeng Nora Aunor at Pilita Corrales

Hindi umaayon ang tadhana kay Janine Gutierrez.
Ito ay dahil sa mga kapalaran na dumating sa kanyang buhay kamakailan.

Dalawa sa kanyang mga mahal sa buhay ay pumanaw.
Ang pareho niyang lola sa magkabilang panig ng kanyang ninuno, lahi at lipi ay pumanaw.

Una nang namaalam si Pilita Corrales, ang ina ng kanyang amang si Ramon Christopher Gutierrez, mas kilala sa tawag na Ramon Christopher o Ramoncito o Monching.
Pagkatapos ni Pilita ay si Nora Aunor naman ang sumakabilang-buhay.

Si Nora ay ina naman ng kanyang si Lotlot de Leon.
Dobleng magkasunod na trahedya sa buhay ni Janine.
Si Aunor ay matagal nang may sakit.

Sa katunayan, nitong mga huling araw ay lagi siyang nasa ospital.
Siya nga ay inoperahan bagamat hindi naman nadetalye ang kanyang pagkakasakit.

Nalaman na lang natin kay Aileen Arcilla Papin, kapatid ng tinaguriang Asia's Sentimental Songstress na si Imelda Papin, na sumailalim pala sa operasyon ang Superstar.
"Akala ko ay magkikita pa tayo pagkatapos ng iyong operasyon," pahayag ni Aileen.

Hindi nga ba't tinulungan pa ng Philippine Charity Sweepstakes (PCSO) si Ate Guy sa mga medikal nitong pangangailangan?
Nagkita sina Nora, Imelda, Aileen at Gloria Papin isang araw nitong mga nakalipas na buwan at doon ay naihinga ni La Aunor ang estado ng kanyang kalusugan at noon din ay inihanda ni Mel ang kanyang suporta bilang isa sa mga Direktor ng PCSO.
Kailangang-kailangan ni Nora ng malaking halaga para sa kanyang mga gastusing medikal.
Pero heto nga at kinitil din ng Panginoong Diyos ang kanyang buhay.

******

Si Pilita naman, ang kinilalang Asia's Queen of Songs, ay namatay sa kanyang pagtulog.

Ito ay nagpakalma sa kalooban ng kanyang mga anak na sina Jackie Lou Blanco at Ramon Christopher.

Ayon kay Jackie Lou, mabuti at hindi na naghirap ang kanilang ina.
Sinabi pa ni Blanco na wala naman siyang nailihim kay Corrales bilang anak.

Ngayon na nailagak na ang mga abo ng mang-aawit, tanging ang mga alaala na lamang nito ang kanyang kapiling.
"I will miss her good smell," pahayag ni Jackie Lou.
Tunay na marangal at maringal ang pagyao ni Pilita.
Lahat ng malalaking bituin sa pelikula, tanghalan, telebisyon at iba't ibang multimedia ay nagluksa sa kamatayan ng tinaguriang Liyad Queen--ang tatak ni La Corrales kung saan at kailan siya ay lumiliyad sa kanyang pagkanta.

******
Kasalukuyang nakaburol si Ate Guy sa Heritage Memorial Park and Crematorium sa Taguig City.

Balitang trak-trak ang nakikipaglamay sa aktres.

Natural dahil siya ay idolo ng masa.

Ang naghihikahos na masa ang maraming nagmamahal sa kanya.
Napakarami ring mga bituin at iba pang alagad ng sining ang nag-aalay sa kanya ng parangal at panalangin.

Bukas, ika-22 ng Abril, 2025 ang paghahatid sa National Artist for Film and Broadcast Arts sa Libingan ng mga Bayani.

Ate Guy, Tatlong Beses Nirevive Pero Mga Doctor Bigo

Matagal ng may iniindang sakit si Nora Aunor o Ate Guy, na naka-wheelchair na nga kapag may importanteng showbiz event na pinupuntahan. Nagpabalik-balik na rin sa ospital ang ating Superstar at nitong huli nga ay nagdesisyon ng magpa-opera o angiogram at tuloy na sa angioplasty.

After daw kasing maoperahan ay mawawala na ang barang ugat sa puso ni Ate Guy. Pero hindi nangyari ang inaasahan nito at mga taong nagmamahal sa kanya. Dahil nitong Miyerkules (April 16) ay binawian ng buhay ang iconic actress.

Yung kagustuhan ni Ate Guy na maging maayos na ang pakiramdam after ng kanyang operasyon ay nabigo. Tatlong beses din umano siyang nirevive ng mga doktor pero wala na talaga at bumigay na ang katawan ng ating National Artist.

Namaalam si Ate Guy sa edad na 71 at kaarawan nito sa May 21 pero hindi na nga niya ito naabutan. Nakalagak ang kanyang mga labi sa Chapel 7 ng Heritage Park sa Taguig at hanggang sa April 21 ang kanyang burol at ihahatid na siya kinabukasan April 22 sa huling hantungan sa Libingan ng mga Bayani.

Nauna ng nakiramay sina Vilma Santos na kumare ni Ate Guy, Coco Martin, Julia Montes, Imelda Papin at iba pa. May public viewing ng dalawang araw para sa mga Noranians na lahat ay nalungkot sa maagang pagpanaw ng kanilang nag-iisang Idolo.

Mula dito sa amin sa Diyaryo Pinoy, ang aming pakikiramay sa naiwang mga anak at apo ni Ate Guy. RIP the one and the only Superstar.

MARICEL SORIANO, MAAGAP TINULDUKAN ANG MGA INTRIGA TUNGKOL SA KANYANG KARAMDAMAN

SAKTO sa panahon ang ginawa ni Maricel Soriano, na siya na mismo sa pamamagitan ng kanyang YouTube Channel ang mag-anunsyo tungkol sa iniinda niyang karamdaman na napansin ng publiko sa kanyang naging kondisyon ng kalusugan nang idaos ang kanyang 60th Birthday.

Naging kapansin-pansin sa nasabing celebration na ginanap sa Araneta City, at dinaluhan ng maraming kasamahan ng Diamond Star sa showbiz at iba pang mga kaibigan, na kakaibang Marya ang tumambad sa kanila. Pumipilay-pilay at nahihirapang maglakad ang mahusay na aktres.

Kasunod noon ay lumaganap sa social media ang mga video ang hitsura ni Maricel, at lumutang ang mga haka-haka: May malubha bang karamdaman ang Diamond Star?

Paliwanag ni Maricel: "'Yung spine ko, may arthritis, hanggang leeg ko. Tapos, 'yong first, na-experience ko ito, in-injectionan ako sa likod. Tapos 'yong sumunod dahil hindi pa nawawala 'yung pain kasi sa side lang, eh...

"So, ang ginawa nila, mismong sa spine nila ako sinaksakan ng steroid, tapos matagal bago nag-effect kaya iika-ika akong lumakad... Ang paa ko, manhid. Parang may karayom na tumutusok."

Marami ang nanlumo, na kinakailangan ng may umakay kapag naglalakad si Marya.

"Ito namang sakit na ito, gumagaling ito," paliwanag pa ni Maricel.

"Actually, ang sabi nga, 'Magpa-opera ka na para matapos na 'yang sakit na 'yan!'.

"Papunta tayo doon, pero tinitingnan namin lahat ng way kung papaano para hindi na surgery ang mangyari sana, kasi ayoko.

"Siyempre, nakatikim na ako ng caesarian, 'di ba? Ang operation is not a joke, 'di ba?

"That's why ako, parang gusto ko rin, ma-introduce din ako dun sa ibang anggulo para gumaling ako.

"Tsaka kaya ko ito."

Dahil sa naging maagap na paglilinaw ni Maricel sa isyu ng kanyang kalusugan ay unti-unti ng nahinto ang mga pang-iintriga na diumano'y mayroon siyang inililihim na karamdaman.

JULIA BARRETTO AT GERALD ANDERSON, PAREHONG BUSY PAANO NA ANG PAGPAPAKASAL?

NAGKATAON naman bigla na parehong busy ngayon sa kanilang showbiz career sina Julia Barretto at Gerald Anderson, kaya tiyak na hindi pa muna talaga matutuloy ang napapabalitang plano nilang pagpapakasal.

Nasa tamang edad na rin naman sina Julia at Gerald para kung sakali ay matuloy ang kanilang dream wedding.

Hindi naman sila parehong nag-aapura na magpakasal, pero sa kanilang mga kuwentuhan bilang magkarelasyon ay napapag-usapan nila ang mga posibilidad, pero wala pa muna silang maibibigay na mga detalye tungkol doon.

Sobrang magiging tutok ngayon ang panahon ni Gerald sa mga pagkakaabalahan niyang mga proyekto. Mayroon siyang gagawing isang pelikula. Magbibida rin siya sa teleseryeng "Sins Of The Father" sa Kapamilya Network.

Si Julia naman ang magiging bagong leading lady ni Alden Richards. Kumpirmadong magtatambal sila sa 2013 movie adaptation ng Thai hit film "P*e Mak" na pinagbidahan noon nina Mario Maurer at Davika Hoorne.

DPWH Completes Solar Lighting Project to Enhance Road Safety in La Trinidad, Benguet

The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has successfully completed the installation of solar-powered streetlights along the Pico–Lamtang Road in La Trinidad, Benguet, aiming to improve road safety and accessibility in the area.
The P120.57-million project, implemented under the Build Better More Program, included the installation of 696 single-arm solar street lights with 9-meter poles, mounted on reinforced concrete pedestals and acco

mpanied by 89 linear meters of roller steel barrier.
In a report to DPWH Secretary Manuel M. Bonoan, CAR Regional Director Khadaffy D. Tanggol emphasized the importance of the Pico–Lamtang Road, a key tertiary road that serves as an alternate connection of La Trinidad to Region I, and is a key passageway for transporting produce from northern Benguet to neighboring provinces.

“The project supports the administration of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s efforts to modernize the country’s road networks and strengthen agricultural economies in the regions, and in line with the “Bagong Pilipinas’” vision of sustainable infrastructure that promotes public safety and rural development,” Director Tanggol said.

Implemented by Benguet First District Engineering Office, the project is expected to drive local economic growth by encouraging tourism and helping farmers deliver more highland vegetables and strawberries to nearby provinces, now that the road is safer to use at night.
