Moira Dela Torre, ex-husband Jason Hernandez have ‘moved forward,’ now ‘civil’

Moira Dela Torre said she and her former husband, Jason Hernandez, have moved forward from their past and are now on civil terms.

‘Yes, we are civil. And actually, we have been civil. I’m happy that the relationships that I have and that we all have, I’m happy that people have moved forward,’ Dela Torre said during the press conference for her upcoming concert, ‘Where It All Started,’ in Quezon City on Thursday, Sept. 17.

Her remarks came after Hernandez also spoke about their relationship during a recent interview at the Awit Awards.

‘Of course. Eight months after, tapos sinara na rin namin ‘yun ni Moira. Actually, we’re okay. We talk, we’re very, very civil. Siyempre, we’re not close but we’re very civil, very respectful with each other,’ Hernandez said, adding that he wants Dela Torre to be happy.

Hernandez was also asked about songs he had composed during their marriage, saying he has no issue with his former wife performing the songs, ahead of Dela Torre’s October concert.

Dela Torre and Hernandez married in January 2019. They announced their separation in May 2022 after three years of marriage.

Hernandez acknowledged at the time that he had been unfaithful during their marriage, saying he took responsibility for his actions.

Dela Torre addresses friends’ unfollowing

Meanwhile, Dela Torre also addressed the controversy surrounding some of her former industry friends who have unfollowed her on Instagram.

‘I opened up to a close friend of mine. But I didn’t backstab anyone. Not in that way. I wouldn’t do that. They’re all safer to me. So it was just one close friend. One. But it wasn’t that way,’ she said.

Dela Torre attributed some of what happened to misunderstandings that were never directly discussed.

‘I know that a lot of the things that happened had something to do with a lot of misunderstandings. We never got to talk about it,’ she said.

‘It was through my previous management which I’m very very grateful for. I wouldn’t be where I am now without them. I’m very thankful for them,’ she added.

While she chose not to elaborate on the details, Dela Torre said she still cares about the people involved and hopes they can reconcile someday.

‘Whatever happened between all of that I would like that to be between us because I still love them very much. I’m very happy for all of their successes and I’m so hopeful for our reconciliation someday. They didn’t do anything wrong. I’m sorry,’ she said in tears.

The issue surfaced early 2025 after fans noticed that some personalities including Sam Milby had unfollowed Dela Torre on Instagram.

Milby later confirmed that he and Dela Torre were no longer friends, although he declined to discuss the reason for their falling-out.

The actor also clarified that their issue had no connection to his breakup with Catriona Gray and that Dela Torre was not a third party in their relationship.

Dela Torre is set to headline her comeback concert ‘Where It All Started’ at the Mall of Asia Arena on Oct. 4. /

New petroleum service deals, gas wells spell ?75-B investments

THE new petroleum service contracts and new gas wells will usher in P74.78 billion worth of new investments, reflecting the government’s sustained push to expand domestic energy development and reduce the country’s exposure to imported fuel dependence.

DOE Undersecretary Giovanni Carlo Bacordo presented to lawmakers on Thursday a briefing sheet indicating that the 14 new petroleum service contracts recently signed by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. will generate $324 million dollars, or roughly P19.91 billion, in potential investments.

Apart from these, he said the successful drilling and testing of the Camago 3 and Malampaya East 1 wells under Service Contract (SC) 38 yielded estimated reserves of 222 billion cubic feet of gas, extending operations to 2034 and providing enough fuel to power 13.1 million households for one year. These, he added, will unlock major new reserves, with an estimated committed work program amounting to $893 million, roughly P54.87 billion.

DOE Secretary Sharon Garin had said the awarding of the contracts reflects the administration’s clear direction of pursuing a more secure and self-reliant energy future through the responsible development of domestic resources.

‘These Petroleum Service Contracts reflect our determination to move indigenous energy development forward, both by revitalizing known resources and by opening pathways for frontier exploration.

At a time when the country remains exposed to global fuel market volatility brought by the developments in the Middle East, every serious effort to develop our own energy resources strengthens our long-term energy security and helps build a more resilient future for the Filipino people,’ she said.

‘By advancing new exploration and supporting responsible upstream development, we are laying the groundwork for a steadier, more secure, and more sustainable energy system for the next generation,’ added the energy chief.

2,467 hired on the spot in DOLE job fairs

Some 2,467 jobseekers were hired on the spot during nationwide Trabaho Agad job fairs organized by the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE).

The job fairs drew 28,795 jobseekers across 86 sites, where 1,352 employers offered 157,097 local and overseas vacancies, according to DOLE.

In Metro Manila, 421 jobseekers were hired on the spot while 737 were classified as near-hires during job fairs held on Sept. 12, 14 and 15.

Labor Secretary Francis N. Tolentino said the initiative is intended to bring employment opportunities closer to Filipinos, particularly young people entering the workforce.

‘You shouldn’t have to wait long to get your first real shot at work,’ Tolentino said, as DOLE seeks to shorten the transition from school to employment.

Initial data showed that 277 senior high school graduates were among those hired, along with 39 beneficiaries of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program and 34 members of indigenous communities.

The hires also included three displaced overseas Filipino workers, 11 Tulong Panghanapbuhay sa Ating Disadvantaged/Displaced (Tupad) workers transitioning to stable employment, 12 persons with disabilities and 28 senior citizens.

Aside from job matching, 13,342 jobseekers availed themselves of government services from the National Bureau of Investigation, Social Security System, Philippine Health Insurance Corp. and Pag-IBIG Fund.

Another 3,467 jobseekers accessed skills enhancement opportunities through the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority during the job fairs.

DOLE said the employment initiative also seeks to help workers adjust to changing workplace requirements, including technological developments affecting some entry-level jobs.

Data encoding and payment processing, for instance, are evolving with the use of technology, while emerging opportunities include AI data annotation and AI-powered self-service kiosks.

DOLE said it will continue holding Trabaho Agad job fairs every month in more towns and provinces to expand access to employment opportunities and connect more job seekers with employers.

Ikpeba, Mutiu, others to feature in Legends football match on November 8

Lagos fans are in for a whole lots of excitement come November 8, 2026 as former Super Eagles stars Mutiu Adepoju and Victor Ikpeba join other icons in the game and celebrities from all other fields in ‘Legends Football Match.’

The match scheduled at the famous Onikan Stadium was put together by TopTier Sports Management in conjunction with African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank), through its Creative Africa Nexus (CANEX) programme.

‘Thirty years ago, a generation of Nigerian footballers showed the world what African talent was capable of. The Legends Football Game is our way of saying thank you to them, and our chance to ask harder questions: what are we building for this generation and the next? We want to build the infrastructure that lets African athletes turn a playing career into a lasting one, on and off the field; this is a huge gap that must be addressed. That’s what this partnership with Afreximbank seeks to achieve,’ Chichi Nwoko, Founder and CEO of TopTier Sports Management said at a press conference.

Also at the event was Temwa Gondwe, Director of Creatives and Diaspora at Afreximbank, he said: ‘The 1996 Super Eagles did more than win Olympic gold; they re-wrote the global narrative, proving to the world that African talent is an unstoppable force. Today, the intersection of sports, entertainment, and culture is the heartbeat of Africa’s creative economy. The Legends Game is more than a celebration of our glorious past – it is a strategic and formidable platform to discuss the future commercialisation and empowerment of African athletes and creatives globally.’

The 90’s represented some of the finest moments of footballing excellence for Nigeria as the Golden Eaglets with the likes of Kanu Nwankwo and Wilson Oruma won the 1993 U-17 World Cup, followed by the Super Eagles lifting the 1994 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) after losing in the 1990 final to Algeria then the Dream Team led by Kanu, mercurial Austin Jay Jay Okocha, Emmanuel Amuneke and Victor Ikpeba delivered the Olympic Football Gold, which was the first for Africa at the time.

Edo Internal Revenue Service bars MDAs from setting up mobile courts to try tax offenders

The management of the Edo State Internal Revenue Service (EIRS) has banned heads of Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) from setting up mobile courts to try tax offenders across the state.

The agency also prohibited MDAs from engaging consultants or carrying out enforcement activities without its approval.

John Osirenimhe Odior, the Executive Chairman of EIRS, disclosed this at a meeting with Patrick Auguinede, Managing Director of the Edo State Outdoor Advertising Agency (EDSAA), and Nelson Tenebe, Executive Secretary/Chief Executive Officer of the Edo State Hospital Management Agency.

Odior said the initiative was part of efforts to sustain dialogue, clarify grey areas, and ensure compliance with the Edo State Revenue Consolidation Account Law, 2026, and the Edo State Internal Revenue Service (EIRS) Law.

He said the meeting was also geared towards deepening the agency’s engagement with heads of Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) across the state.

He added that the State’s Revenue Consolidation Account Law was designed to enhance the state’s revenue base by sealing off leakages within the revenue ecosystem.

He stated that the leadership of both agencies had sought greater clarity on the steps required for a smooth transition under the new law, as well as areas where they might need assistance.

According to him, adequate and proper accounting and reporting of internally generated revenue would further enhance the state’s reputation and credibility before national and global institutions.

Odior, however, assured the agency heads that the law would ultimately benefit both government institutions and citizens of the state, resulting in an improved work environment and better tools for enhanced service delivery to the public.

He urged all heads of MDAs to comply with all existing tax laws and the new Revenue Consolidation Account Law within the stipulated timelines to avoid sanctions from the government.

The EIRS chairman further emphasised the importance of collaboration among government agencies in ensuring effective revenue collection and compliance with the provisions of the new law.

He called on the agency heads to maintain open communication with the EIRS and seek clarification on any grey areas that might arise during the implementation of the law.

The meeting formed part of the EIRS’s ongoing efforts to engage stakeholders and ensure a smooth transition to the new revenue administration framework in Edo State.

Social protection that arrives late is not protection

Senator Chiz Escudero’s push to expand the definition of ‘indigency’-adding categories like ‘cancer-indigent’ and ‘litigation-indigent’-addresses a critical gap in Philippine policy. The current system conflates poverty with vulnerability, leaving many Filipinos without aid despite their genuine inability to cope with crushing medical or legal costsThe senator’s observation highlights how 4Ps has inadvertently become the gatekeeper for government services-a ‘tyranny of the single metric.’ When agencies use disparate definitions of need, families can be ‘poor enough’ for one service but ‘too wealthy’ for another, despite facing catastrophic circumstances that render their income meaningless.

Escudero’s examples expose the gap between theory and reality. A teacher earning above minimum wage but facing P500,000 in annulment costs is practically indigent, yet technically disqualified from legal aid. A family with income too high for 4Ps benefits may see that same income obliterated by leukemia treatment. These are not isolated cases-they represent millions of Filipinos whose crises the state fails to recognize as poverty.

The senator’s proposed classifications-indigency defined by circumstance, not just income-align with a reality that social policy experts have long recognized: poverty is multidimensional. The United Nations Development Programme’s Multidimensional Poverty Index considers health, education, and living standards alongside income. The government has committed to the Sustainable Development Goals, which acknowledge that poverty encompasses lack of access to justice, healthcare, and social protection. Escudero’s proposal merely asks that our laws catch up to this understanding.

Litigation lawyer Maggie Garduque’s point about the equal protection clause is particularly salient. When the law recognizes only one form of indigency-income-based-it effectively creates a hierarchy of suffering where those facing extraordinary medical or legal costs receive less protection than those whose poverty is more visible but no more severe. This is not rational classification; it is arbitrary exclusion dressed up as fiscal prudence.

Critics will argue that broadening indigency definitions risks diluting limited resources. This is a false economy. The cost of excluding a family from legal aid may result in unjust incarceration or unresolved domestic disputes that burden social services further. The cost of denying medical assistance to a ‘cancer-indigent’ patient may result in emergency hospitalizations that are far more expensive than preventive care. Narrow definitions do not save money; they merely shift costs to other parts of the system, often at greater human and financial expense.

Escudero’s proposal is not radical but rational: just as the state already supports seniors, the disabled, and single parents, it should recognize catastrophic illness and prohibitive legal costs as structural vulnerabilities it has a duty to address. The challenge, of course, lies in implementation. A broader definition of indigency requires better data, clearer guidelines, and robust safeguards against abuse. But these are technical problems with technical solutions. The first step is acknowledging that the current framework is broken, that it excludes the vulnerable while it includes only the most destitute.

Senator Escudero has done the essential work of naming the problem. Indigency is not a static condition measured solely by what’s in one’s wallet. Disaster does not discriminate-it can sweep any family into an unstable freefall. A government that waits for its citizens to become destitute before offering help is not providing social protection-it is administering last rites.

The law must learn to see what Escudero sees: a teacher drowning in legal fees, a family consumed by medical debt, a household teetering on the edge not because they don’t earn enough, but because life has demanded too much. These citizens are indigent-not in the narrow, statistical sense, but in the only sense that should matter to a compassionate state. They cannot afford the costs of being human in an unjust world. It is time our definition of poverty caught up to that reality.

Spain extend World Cup-winning coach De la Fuente’s contract to 2032

Spain have extended head coach Luis de la Fuente’s contract until 2032 after the 65-year-old guided La Roja to a fourth European Championship title and their second World Cup title.

De la Fuente’s previous contract was due to expire in 2028, but the new agreement will keep him in charge through Spain’s World Cup defence on home soil in 2030.

Spain will co-host the 24th edition of the men’s World Cup with Portugal and Morocco, with matches also scheduled for Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay as part of celebrations marking the tournament’s centenary.

De la Fuente replaced Luis Enrique in December 2022 following Spain’s last-16 exit at the Qatar World Cup.

Since taking charge, he has lost just twice in 41 competitive matches and led Spain to three major trophies, including the 2022-23 UEFA Nations League and Euro 2024. Spain finished runners-up to Portugal in the 2024-25 Nations League.

Spain beat Argentina 1-0 after extra time to win the World Cup in July, having defeated England 2-1 in the European Championship final two years earlier.

RFEF president Rafael Louzan confirmed the contract extension while speaking at the World Football Summit in Madrid on Wednesday.

‘His results speak for themselves, as does his work,’ Louzan said.

‘The public loves and admires him. I offered him an extension because he wasn’t among the top 10 in terms of financial conditions. Now he will be.

Biochar Industrial secures $1.5m pre-seed to scale Africa’s industrial carbon removal

Biochar Industrial Group (BIG), a Nigerian climate technology company, has raised $1.5 million in pre-seed funding to expand its industrial-scale carbon removal business across Sub-Saharan Africa.

The funding, led by BREEGA with participation from The Catalyst Fund, will enable BIG to deepen partnerships with food-processing factories and deploy its Biochar-as-a-Service model, converting agricultural waste into carbon removal products while creating additional revenue streams for processors.

The Mulago Foundation also provided non-dilutive funding as part of the financing.

BIG is targeting the intersection of three growing challenges in Africa’s food and agricultural economy: industrial waste, carbon emissions and declining soil quality.

Africa generates an estimated one billion tonnes of non-edible agricultural biomass annually, including nut shells, cobs, husks and stalks. Much of this waste has little or no commercial value and can release carbon dioxide when left to decompose.

At the same time, agricultural soils across the continent are facing increasing pressure from intensive cultivation and the use of synthetic fertilisers, contributing to nutrient depletion and declining productivity.

BIG’s model is designed to turn this waste problem into an industrial input.

The company partners directly with food processors to install continuous pyrolysis systems at factory sites. The technology heats agricultural biomass at temperatures above 600°C in an oxygen-deprived environment, converting the waste into biochar while locking away carbon for hundreds to thousands of years.

The resulting carbon removal can generate independently auditable carbon removal credits, while the biochar can be returned to agricultural value chains as a soil amendment.

The company said its approach allows food factories to transform what would otherwise be a disposal liability into a potential source of shared revenue.

By co-locating pyrolysis units within food-processing facilities and staffing them locally, BIG also aims to reduce logistics costs, create technical jobs in rural communities and return biochar to farms through existing agribusiness supply chains.

The company said its technology has been modified to accommodate local feedstocks and operating conditions.

Biochar could have particular relevance for Africa’s tropical and acidic soils, where the soil amendment can improve soil health and agricultural productivity.

In controlled field trials, plots treated with BIG’s biochar recorded yield increases of up to 50 percent, according to the company.

‘Africa has natural advantages to lead the most scalable and cost effective biomass-based carbon removal globally,’ said Ikenna Nzewi, CEO of Biochar Industrial Group.

‘By forming true win-win partnerships with agricultural processors to produce biochar, we have the opportunity to turn localised waste liabilities into a transformative global solution.’

The investment also represents a bet on the growing market for durable carbon removal, as companies and investors increasingly look beyond conventional emissions reduction towards technologies capable of permanently removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Tosin Faniro-Dada, partner at BREEGA, said BIG had developed an approach capable of converting an industrial waste challenge into repeatable, audit-grade carbon credits.

She said the founding team’s previous experience operating industrial infrastructure was central to the investment decision.

The founders – Nzewi, Uzoma Ayogu and Isaiah Udotong, previously spent nearly a decade building industrial agricultural infrastructure through Releaf Earth, a Y Combinator-backed agro-processing company.

At Releaf Earth, the team developed patented nut-cracking machinery, operated four industrial factories and built supply chains involving thousands of smallholder farmers.

That experience is now being transferred to the carbon removal industry, where the founders are seeking to combine industrial operations with carbon markets and agricultural productivity.

‘We’re proud to back them as they scale that same execution discipline into carbon removal at a continental scale,’ Faniro-Dada said.

Oluwatoyin Emmanuel-Olubake, Chief Investment Officer at Catalyst Fund, said the investment was driven by BIG’s ability to address multiple challenges facing agribusinesses through a single business model.

‘We invested in BIG because it developed an innovative approach to solve multiple problems for agribusinesses critical to African and global economic growth with a single, self-reinforcing model,’ Emmanuel-Olubake said.

She acknowledged that the company remains at an early stage, with execution risks, but said its model is grounded in the operational realities of factories and farms and supported by growing demand for durable carbon removal.

Juja’s avocado exporter Karakuta eyes NSE listing

Juja-based exporter of avocados and herbs Karakuta Fresh Produce has sought regulatory approval to list on the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) in a move that will expand the agricultural segment of the market.

In its application to the NSE and the Capital Markets Authority (CMA), Karakuta plans to list by introduction by the end of this year. This means it will not be raising new capital and will simply list existing shares for potential sale to other investors.

Companies can also go public through an initial public offering (IPO) where shares are sold to raise funds shortly before listing.

‘The listing will provide shareholders with a transparent platform for price discovery in the market and trading of its shares,’ Karakuta’s founder and chief executive Grace Ngugi, told Business Daily.

‘Listing on the NSE will enable the company to enhance its corporate governance, unlock value and give it access to deep capital markets for potential capital raising in future.’

Once Karakuta lists, the NSE will gain an additional member in the agricultural segment, which currently has six companies -Eaagads, Kakuzi, Kapchorua, Limuru Tea, Sasini and Williamson Tea Kenya.

Karakuta was established in 2018 in the Karakuta area of Kiambu County and sources Hass and Fuerte avocados from 3,000 farmers across Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. Besides avocados, Karakuta also exports herbs including basil, oregano, thyme, tarragon, mint, rosemary, sage, coriander and chives.

The company has customers in the European Union, the United Arab Emirates, Malaysia and India. It is also targeting the promising China market. The company is expected to publish its financial information and other disclosures before listing.

Karakuta currently has only two shareholders, meaning that it will need to conduct an ownership restructuring to comply with listing regulations that require a minimum of seven shareholders and a minimum paid-up capital of Sh10 million for firms eyeing the bourse’s SME Market Segment.

Grace Muthoni Ngugi currently owns 80 percent of Karakuta while Lawrence Kibe Karanja holds the remaining 20 percent, according to company registration records seen by Business Daily.

Other listing requirements published by the NSE include a lock-in period of 24 months for controlling shareholders, a minimum volume of shares equivalent to a 10 percent stake available for trading by the public and total assets of Sh100 million.

Some of these conditions can be waived at the discretion of the CMA. Karakuta will become the latest firm to list by introduction after Family Bank which went public in June, floating 1.7 billion ordinary shares at an introductory price of Sh18 each.

Other firms that have gone public by introduction at the NSE include Homeboyz Entertainment Plc in 2020 and Flame Tree Group Holdings Ltd in 2014.

According to the top leadership of Karakuta, going public at this time is designed, to a large extent, to ensure the company unlocks price discovery through open trading in the NSE which has been on a bull run in the past few years.

‘Listing on the NSE is the natural next step. It gives us the governance and transparency that public markets demand and positions Karukuta to draw on deeper capital as we scale production and expand into new markets,’ Ms Ngungi said.

Karakuta’s listing will be midwifed by Synesis Capital as the lead transaction advisor, MWC Legal as the transaction’s legal advisor and Bakertilly as the reporting accountants.
