US TO GIVE PHILIPPINES $250 MILLION TO TACKLE HEALTH NEEDS

The United States government will provide the Philippines with an additional $250 million to address urgent health concerns such as tuberculosis, maternal health, and the threat of emerging diseases, according to U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

This new funding follows the $63 million announced during the meeting of U.S. President Donald Trump and Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. at the White House in July. The aid is part of Mr. Trump’s direct foreign aid approach, which has emerged after the shutdown of USAID and other traditional aid pipelines.

“This demonstrates the comprehensive bond between the United States and the Philippines and the efficient, time-limited, and narrowly targeted approach of this new era of America First foreign assistance,” Mr. Rubio said in a statement.

The Philippine Embassy in Washington expressed its appreciation for the U.S. government’s commitment but declined to provide further comment.

Under Trump’s leadership, the administration has scaled back U.S. foreign assistance abroad, even as Republican-led Congress budgeted billions for such programs. Of the $11 billion foreign aid fund facing a September 30 deadline, the Trump administration has said it would spend $6.5 billion, while its attempt to block another $4 billion is currently under review by the U.S. Supreme Court.

WHANG-OD DOCU TO MAKE WORLD PREMIERE AT VANCOUVER INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL

A new feature documentary, Treasure of the Rice Terraces, is set to have its world premiere at the 2025 Vancouver International Film Festival (VIFF) on October 5 and 6, highlighting the life and legacy of legendary indigenous tattoo artist Whang-Od.

Directed by Filipino-Canadian filmmaker Kent Donguines, the film takes viewers to Buscalan, Kalinga, to explore the centuries-old tradition of indigenous tattooing with 107-year-old Whang-Od at its heart.

According to VIFF, “Treasure of the Rice Terraces shows how traditions can survive, evolve, and inspire both local communities and cultural identity worldwide.”

The documentary will also feature Michelle Dee, whose Miss Universe 2023 evening gown paid tribute to Whang-Od, and fashion designer Mark Bumgarner, who created the gown. Whang-Od’s protégés Grace Palicas and Elyang Wigan, along with TV host Kim Atienza, will also appear.

The premiere comes a year after Whang-Od received the Presidential Medal of Merit for preserving the art of mambabatok (traditional tattooing) and breaking gender barriers in a once male-dominated tradition.
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. had praised her influence, saying:

“As Apo Whang-Od’s works appeal to diverse cultures and across political divides, she becomes an enabler for unity and an example of an idea that binds us all. She is truly a national treasure.”

The film joins several other documentary premieres at VIFF 2025, including Mayumi Yoshida’s Akashi, Jennifer Chiu’s Clan of the Painted Lady, Jenn Strom’s The Painted Life of E.J. Hughes, and Bryce Hodgson’s Thanks to the Hard Work of the Elephants.

Donguines’ past works include Paco, Brown Enough, and Kalinga.

Ang populasyon ng mga buwaya ng Pilipinas (Crocodylus mindorensis) sa wild ay lubhang nanganganib, na tinatayang nasa pagitan ng 92 at 137 mature na indibidwal, bagaman ang mga kamakailang pagtatantya ay nagpapahiwatig na maaaring mas mababa ito sa 100.

Ang mga pangunahing banta sa endemic na species na ito ay ang pagkawala ng tirahan at pangangaso, na may makabuluhang pagsisikap sa pag-iingat na isinasagawa, kabilang ang mga programa sa pagpaparami na nakabatay sa bihag at komunidad.

A young woman belonging to the TSAATAN tribe in Mongolia, Central Asia, riding a reindeer.

The Tsaatan are a tribe of just under 250 people who are considered the last reindeer herders in Mongolia. They are one of the nomadic peoples that still coexist in the taiga; they do not practice agriculture and, therefore, travel great distances year after year in search of warmer temperatures as winter arrives and reindeer moss becomes scarce.
