Pope Francis Dies at 88

Vatican City — The world mourns the passing of Pope Francis, who died today at the age of 88. Born Jorge Mario Bergoglio in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1936, Pope Francis became the 266th pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church in March 2013, succeeding Pope Benedict XVI.

Known for his humility, compassion, and progressive stances on issues such as climate change, poverty, and social justice, Pope Francis marked a new era for the Vatican. He was the first pope from the Americas and the first Jesuit to hold the office.

His papacy was characterized by outreach to marginalized communities, calls for peace and dialogue, and a focus on inclusivity within the Church. He was widely admired for his efforts to modernize the Church while upholding its core traditions.

The Vatican has announced that official funeral arrangements and memorial services will be released in the coming days. Catholics around the world have begun to gather in mourning and prayer, honoring a spiritual leader who left an indelible mark on the modern era.

Ormoc City Bans Sugary Drinks in Government Events, Mandates Water as Primary Beverage

Ormoc City, Philippines — In a decisive move promoting public health and wellness, Ormoc City Mayor Lucy Torres Gomez has signed Executive Order No. 2025-012, mandating that water shall be the primary beverage option in all events and activities organized by the city government.

Citing the Local Government Code (RA 7160) which mandates local government units to uphold public health and safety, the order aims to curb the excessive consumption of sugary drinks, which have been linked to various health problems including obesity, diabetes, and chronic illnesses.

Under this new policy:

• All city government departments and offices are directed to refrain from including sugary drinks in food and beverage purchase requests for official activities, meetings, workshops, and conferences.

• In place of sugary beverages, bottled water will be the default option. Healthy alternatives such as unsweetened teas, infused water, and natural fruit juices without added sugar may also be considered, depending on availability and budget.

• The order defines “sugary drinks” to include carbonated soft drinks, sweetened fruit drinks, energy drinks, sports drinks, and flavored waters with added sugar.

• The City Budget Office, City Accounting Office, and Bids and Awards Committee (BAC) are tasked to ensure compliance, while the Internal Audit Services (IAS) will monitor adherence.

Mayor Gomez emphasized that this initiative is part of the city’s commitment to promoting a healthier lifestyle and better well-being among employees and residents.
