IF one would sift through all the news and highlights of posts on social media, the following may end up to be the most written about or talked about issues on an international level:

Nepal flash floods

US-Iran maritime tensions

Russia-Ukraine war

Middle East violence

Rising global food prices

The energy shock and currency plunge

China, North Korea and Russia

Global bond market stress

Geo-economic fragmentation

On the domestic level, the counterpart list may include the following:

Hollywood Walk of Fame star for Lea Salonga

phenomenal rise and rise of Alex Eala

impeachment trial

flood control scandal

impact of the typhoons and habagat

‘devaluing peso’ vs the US dollar

‘legal issues’ of Vice President Sara Duterte

dangers confronting overseas Filipin workers in the Middle East

Barmm elections

The list may be longer depending on one’s take on developments. It seems like it is, indeed, a very chaotic world with uncertainties.

On the international concerns, Juan dela Cruz may just try to understand things but cannot do anything. He may not even mind the issues.

On the other domestic issues, if one would spare time to read the opinion columns, watch the talk shows, and the different posts on a number of electronic sites, nothing is wanting on analyses and offered solutions including expected end games on the issues. At times, it could be a pointing of fingers play. The stories may go on and on with many comments/critiques given.

There are, however, a couple of unusual good developments: the first is Alex Eala! She is now seeded at age 21; a first and the pride of the Filipino people.

And the second, Lea Salonga! Last September 4, Lea became the first Filipina honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame: a tremendous tribute to the immense talent of Filipino artists in theater and film.

Still, we hope more good news will come! Aren’t we entitled to a better world to lift our spirits up?

Education Secretary Juan Edgardo ‘Sonny’ Angara on Tuesday announced that the Philippines’ performance in the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2025 showed significant gains across all three areas: reading, mathematics and science.

The Philippines recorded a mean score of 373 in science, 371 in mathematics and 367 in reading-up by 17 points, 16 points and 20 points, respectively, from the country’s 2022 results.

Angara, who presented the results during the national results launch at Caloocan City Science High School, said that this achievement mark a notable step forward in the administration of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s efforts to improve learning outcomes.

More Filipino learners also reached Level 2 or higher, the baseline proficiency level measured by PISA.

The proportion increased from 23 percent to 32 percent in science, from 16 percent to 21 percent in mathematics, and from 24 percent to 31 percent in reading.

From its mean score, the Philippines outranked 14 participating countries in science, 16 countries in mathematics, and 18 countries in reading.

‘This is a significant achievement for our learners and for the entire Philippine education system …But more than the numbers, we are seeing evidence that our learners are capable of making real and meaningful progress,’ Angara said.

Angara said the results should encourage the country to build on the gains while keeping its focus on learners who continue to struggle.

‘We should be proud of how far our learners and teachers have come, but we should be even more determined about how much farther we can go,’ Angara said.

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) 10-year trend analysis also shows that the Philippines is the fastest improving country in terms of reading performance.

The OECD, likewise, identified the Philippines among countries with notable improvement in mathematics. In science, the Philippines recorded a positive long-term trend despite an overall decline in science performance globally.

‘My warmest congratulations to the teachers and school leaders of the Philippines because what you have achieved in this latest round of OECD’s PISA assessment is not just good news for the Philippines, it’s a story that deserves to be noticed far beyond your borders,’ OECD Director for Education and Skills Andreas Schleicher said.

Angara said the gains from the PISA results reflect the collective work being done across the education system-from teachers and school leaders to parents, local governments and other partners.

The PISA presentation also highlighted the role of school readiness, parents, local government units and private sector partners in the country’s performance, underscoring that improving education is a shared responsibility.

OECD Policy Analyst Rodrigo Castañeda Valle also provided perspectives on the Philippine results and global education trends. Despite the encouraging results, DepEd said the latest PISA performance also highlights the work that remains.

The Department’s next priorities include addressing equity, while sustaining reforms aimed at improving learning outcomes and supporting teachers and schools. DepEd will also continue working with education partners to promote the responsible use of digital technology and address challenges such as cyberbullying and its effects on learning.

Angara said the country’s improved PISA performance should be seen as a starting point for an even more ambitious push to improve learning for every Filipino child.

Government-backed loans for cooperatives reached P2.41 billion as of June, expanding financing support for agriculture, small businesses and electric cooperatives.

State-run credit guarantor Philippine Guarantee Corp. (PhilGuarantee) reported on Tuesday that it facilitated P2.41 billion in cumulative outstanding guaranteed loans for cooperatives, helping 24,386 beneficiaries.

The bulk of the financing went to cooperatives involved in rice production and other agricultural activities, which accounted for P1.76 billion in outstanding guaranteed loans from 2019 to June 2026 and aided 24,255 beneficiaries.

Guarantee support was also extended to cooperatives serving micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs). From 2024 to June 2026, cooperatives supporting MSMEs accessed P28.48 million in cumulative outstanding guaranteed loans, benefiting 113 beneficiaries.

Furthermore, 18 electric cooperatives had availed themselves of financing under the Electric Cooperative Partial Credit Guarantee (ECPCG) Program as of June.

The program provides guarantee support to electric cooperatives in securing financing for their operations and other sustainable requirements. It had a cumulative outstanding guaranteed loan value of P622.60 million as of June, according to PhilGuarantee.

The agency said cooperatives remain an important part of its development financing efforts as it seeks to broaden access to credit for productive sectors of the economy.

Of its 206 partner lending institutions as of June, 46 were cooperatives, it said.

‘As a key partner in development financing, PhilGuarantee empowers cooperatives to expand their lending capacity and provide financing support to communities engaged in productive activities,’ it added.

PhilGuarantee provides credit guarantees in support of trade and investments, exports, infrastructure, energy, tourism, agricultural business, housing, small businesses and other priority sectors of the economy.

The first commercial internet cafes in Manila charged by the hour and kept a wall clock above the cashier. Teenagers watched the hands move while trying to stretch their pesos into one more round of Counter-Strike. Access was a privilege and supervised, not a birthright. The current talk of blocking Facebook for Filipinos under 16 wants that clock back.

Philippine authorities have raised the possibility of blocking Facebook nationwide to stop fake news, misinformation, and online abuse, with ‘saving democracy’ in one breath and ‘protecting the children’ in the next.

Facebook became the successor to Friendster and Myspace in 2004. Apparently it has taken more than 20 years to figure out the general corrosion that comes from giving a billion-dollar engagement machine direct access to a child’s brain. But fake news is not the big reveal about Facebook. The chief priests in Matthew paid the guards at Jesus’ tomb to spread a story they knew was false, that ‘his disciples came during the night and stole him away while we were asleep.’ The smartphone only spreads it faster.

Public harassment is older still. Genesis records Potiphar’s wife pressing unwanted sexual advances on Joseph and then falsely accusing him when he refused. What Facebook adds is that a billion people are reached at scroll speed.

Societies understand that alcohol is profitable, socially embedded, and therefore legal. However, we also understand that you do not carelessly hand a bottle of gin to a 14-year-old. Age is supposed to be checked not because the state is almighty, but because a line has been drawn. Even if teenagers still drink, the line exists and it shapes behavior. Social media is in a similar place being an addictive and mood-altering product engineered to keep the user consuming.

Manila’s own hesitation tells a story. Palace officials say there is ‘no FB ban now,’ and Meta is ‘cooperating,’ a generous word for a company still working out how to identify which of its users are minors in the first place. Meta agreed to pay as much as US$18 billion to settle claims brought by 29 American states, and to install curfews and daily caps for any account identified as belonging to someone 13 to 17 years old. The settlement gives Meta one year to figure out how to make that identification.

But nobody currently knows how to guarantee a high level of proof-of-age success. The company’s options are a government identification document, a mandatory selfie, or an algorithm that estimates age from browsing behavior, each one gathering more of the personal data the lawsuit settlement exists to protect. In October 2025, a breach at a third-party customer-service provider exposed the government IDs of 70,000 Discord users, which is what happens when the fix for one failure becomes raw material for the next.

Australia, Indonesia, Brazil, and Malaysia already enforce some nationwide restrictions on most social media accounts for minors. Australia bans outright, with proposed fines for noncompliant platforms up to A$99 million. Indonesia and Malaysia restrict under-16s from ‘high-risk’ platforms. Brazil requires accounts for anyone under 16 to be linked to a parent or guardian. The four countries with new regulations are having problems with enforcement.

Months after Australia barred anyone under 16 from holding a social media account, teenage usage rates of major social media apps has climbed back almost to where it was before the ban. Regulators and researchers point to lying about age, age checks that fail, and VPNs. The common thread is that verifying a stranger’s age from behind a login screen remains effectively unsolved. The private-sector Know-Your-Customer systems were built for banks and never designed as a population-scale social media age gate. Any rule Manila writes will be as leaky as the rest.

A Facebook ban will not fix the misinformation and online abuse problem. What it will do is hand the failure blame for a job Filipino parents, schools, and courts have been avoiding to an algorithm on a platform. Meta will sign whatever memorandum keeps the story off the front page and out of the courts. Its business model was built to maximize minutes watched, not minors protected, and no cooperation agreement rewrites that.

The wall clock above the cashier never needed a law behind it. It needed a parent walking through the door at nine, asking why a 12-year-old was still there. No law reaches into that house, and neither does an algorithm. Manila can legislate an age floor and call it protection. The clock only worked because somebody at home was watching it, and that job was never Meta’s to begin with, or the government’s today.

THE House prosecution panel in the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Z. Duterte has announced its intention to call Duterte herself as a witness after it finishes presenting evidence for all four Articles of Impeachment.

The move was disclosed by private prosecutor Lorna Kapunan during the 23rd day of the trial, signalling a major shift in the prosecution’s strategy as it seeks to place the Vice President’s own explanation at the center of the proceedings.

Kapunan clarified that the prosecution was not immediately requesting the Senate Impeachment Court to subpoena Duterte. Instead, the panel intends to complete its presentation of evidence first before deciding on the formal request for her appearance. She emphasized that Duterte’s testimony would be considered at the conclusion of the presentation of all impeachment articles.

‘At the end of all of these articles, we reserve the right to present the Vice President herself,’ Kapunan told the court.

The announcement came after discussions among public and private prosecutors regarding the direction of their case. Following their review, the prosecution decided to discontinue the presentation of the remaining witnesses originally planned for the article involving alleged misuse and misappropriation of confidential funds. The decision effectively shortened the prosecution’s planned witness presentation for that portion of the case.

Although no formal motion has been filed, defense lawyer Sheila Sison expressed opposition, invoking constitutional rights, after the prosecution expressed an intent to potentially call Duterte as a witness.

Sison quoted Section 17, Article 3 of the 1987 Philippine Constitution, asserting that the respondent has a fundamental right against ‘testimonial compulsion’ or testifying against oneself.

She added that the prohibition against testimonial compulsion is designed to prevent the recurrence of oppressive practices.

10 of 27 witnesses

THE prosecution initially identified 27 witnesses for the confidential funds article. According to Kapunan, 10 witnesses had already appeared before the court, while agreements and stipulations involving two other witnesses made their personal appearances unnecessary. The remaining 15 witnesses, including those scheduled to testify on that hearing day, would no longer be presented.

‘After a long meeting last night and towards this morning, just before this hearing, the prosecution, both public and private prosecutors, have decided to… forego your honors, not only with the witnesses subpoenaed for today, but with all the remaining 15 witnesses,’ Kapunan said.

‘In lieu of presenting 15 other witnesses, we will be presenting the Vice President herself,’ Kapunan stated. However, she later clarified that this would not happen immediately and would only be considered after the prosecution completes the presentation of all four impeachment articles.

Among those affected by the decision were Police Maj. Jovelyn Magay, Sunshine Fajarda, and Bresilio Sabaldan, who had been scheduled to appear before the impeachment court. Kapunan confirmed that their testimonies would no longer be part of the prosecution’s presentation for the confidential funds allegations.

Explaining the change in strategy, Kapunan argued that the evidence already presented by witnesses and documents pointed towards the need to hear directly from Duterte. She stated that the testimonies and records introduced during the proceedings connected various issues under examination to the vice president, making her own response relevant to the case.

Kapunan used a chess analogy to describe the relationship between the witnesses and the subject of the allegations, comparing the different pieces of evidence to chess pieces that ultimately point towards one accountable individual. She also highlighted testimony from Land Bank of the Philippines witnesses, which the prosecution said established the existence and withdrawal of confidential funds.

Potential testimony

THE prosecution maintained that Duterte’s potential testimony would not be limited to the confidential funds allegations. Kapunan explained that her appearance could also be relevant to the other impeachment articles involving alleged grave threats, unexplained wealth, and bribery. These issues remain part of the broader accusations being considered by the impeachment court.

As the trial moves forward, the prosecution is preparing to present its case on unexplained wealth, which it expects to require more time compared with the bribery allegations. House lead prosecutor Batangas Rep. Gerville Luistro explained that the prosecution’s pre-trial planning showed a larger number of witnesses and documentary evidence would be needed for the unexplained wealth article.

‘I think it is reflected in our pre-trial brief that the prosecution requested more trial days for the unexplained wealth case compared to the bribery case,’ Luistro said, explaining that additional evidence would be required for the Article II charges compared with the bribery allegations.

The unexplained wealth allegation focuses on claims that Duterte accumulated assets allegedly disproportionate to her declared income and failed to fully disclose certain financial interests in her Statements of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth. The prosecution plans to examine financial documents, including bank records, tax-related information, and other materials, as part of its presentation.

Luistro emphasized that the decision to present unexplained wealth ahead of bribery does not indicate that one article is stronger than another. ‘These are four equally strong articles of impeachment,’ she said, explaining that the order was adjusted based on witness availability and other practical considerations.

The Senate impeachment court also reminded the prosecution that it would not immediately consider Article I completely closed because additional witnesses could still be called if necessary. The court explained that it would determine whether further testimony would be required after reviewing the evidence presented by both sides.

The prosecution accepted the court’s guidance while maintaining its reservation to call Duterte and an amicus curiae who could assist the court regarding constitutional issues involving impeachment, public officers, and public accountability.

An expanded national nutrition program, with a more proactive approach to stunting, is on track to passage in the Senate after the plenary accepted amendments by Senate Minority Leader Alan Peter Cayetano, one of the chief advocates of the bill.

Provisions requiring earlier detection, regular monitoring, and targeted interventions for children at risk were among the amendments to Senate Bill No. 2272, or the Expanded National Nutrition Program Act, that were read at Monday’s Senate session following Cayetano’s interpellation of the measure in a previous plenary session.

Senate President Sherwin Gatchalian commended Cayetano for his advocacy against child stunting, while bill sponsor Senator Paulo Benigno ‘Bam’ Aquino thanked him for the proposed changes, saying the amendments were ‘really making this bill so much better.’

The amendments would explicitly recognize stunting as a critical national health and education concern, while common definitions of stunting, severe acute malnutrition, and other relevant nutrition terms, as well as a common measurement system will be adopted.

This would allow government agencies to work from the same standards when implementing interventions and setting targets and assessing outcomes.

The amendments would also establish a National Anti-Stunting Action Plan, with areas facing high stunting and food insecurity prioritized for technical and financial assistance.

A Nutrition and Growth Monitoring Program would likewise regularly track children’s weight, height or length and other nutrition indicators.

Local Government Units would play a central role in implementing the measure with Barangay Health Workers, Barangay Nutrition Scholars and other trained personnel would identify children who are undernourished, stunted or at risk and ensure their referral, intervention and follow-up.

The proposal also reflects Cayetano’s push to build on Taguig City’s integrated nutrition, health monitoring and physical activity practices.

Schools would likewise conduct regular height and weight measurements and nutrition assessments of school-age children.

The proposal puts particular focus on the first 1,000 days of life, from conception through the first 24 months, and provides specific interventions for children who are stunted or at risk, including feeding support, complementary food, Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food, and Vitamin A and zinc supplementation.

The senator had earlier sought a shift from simply measuring the prevalence of stunting to identifying the specific children who need help.

He also urged lawmakers to make the bill specific on interventions that can already be implemented.

‘When we cannot be specific, let’s be general. Anything that we cannot specify, we’ll talk about it in general. But anything that we can specify, [let’s work on it] to ensure the success of this bill,’ he said.

Justin Brownlee may have been missing from the Gilas Pilipinas lineup, but the faith of ArenaPlus users in the national team never wavered.

Playing at home without their naturalized star, Gilas swept the fourth window of the FIBA World Cup Asian Qualifiers, edging Jordan, 82-81, before beating Iran, 68-56, at the Mall of Asia Arena.

ArenaPlus users backed Gilas to get the job done in both games, with 74.4 percent of the total bet count picking the Philippines to beat Jordan and 71.1 percent backing the team against Iran.

The confidence came despite the absence of Brownlee, who has not played since Gilas’ double-overtime loss to New Zealand in the third window last July 3 because of hamstring and knee issues.

Brownlee has been one of Gilas’ most reliable contributors in the qualifiers, averaging 14.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.6 assists, and 1.6 steals per game.

But with their leading offensive weapon on the sidelines, the locals showed they had more than enough firepower to carry the load.

Sotto makes impact in return

At the center of it all was Kai Sotto, who made a long-awaited return to the national team after a two-year absence and immediately made his presence felt.

Sotto averaged 15.5 points and 15 rebounds across his first two games back, providing Gilas with a much-needed interior presence as the Philippines continued its push for a World Cup berth. Dwight Ramos was equally steady, averaging 15 points, six rebounds, 1.5 assists, and 1.5 steals during the window.

Against Jordan, it was CJ Perez who sparked Gilas’ comeback from a double-digit deficit, pouring in 16 points and five rebounds. Kevin Quiambao added 14 points, five rebounds, and two assists, including a crucial three-pointer that helped Gilas secure the thrilling one-point victory.

The locals delivered again against Iran, with Juan Gomez de Liaño making his mark in the come-from-behind victory with 16 points and three rebounds.

The win also carried a little extra weight. Iran had defeated the Philippines in the 2013 FIBA Asia Championship final at the same venue, making Gilas’ latest victory over the Iranians a chance to rewrite a piece of history on familiar ground.

Gilas depth works wonders

For Ethan William, Head of ArenaPlus, the strong backing for Gilas despite Brownlee’s absence showed the confidence Filipino basketball fans have in the national team’s depth.

‘Justin Brownlee has been a huge part of Gilas Pilipinas’ campaign, so it would have been understandable for fans to wonder how the team would respond without him. Instead, we saw ArenaPlus users continue to back Gilas, and the local players delivered,’ said William.

‘Kai Sotto’s return, the consistency of Dwight Ramos, and the big performances from the other locals showed just how much talent this team has. The numbers reflect the confidence of Filipino fans in Gilas and their belief that the team can find a way to win, whoever is on the floor.’

Gilas now moves forward with momentum-and perhaps an even greater sense of belief. Brownlee’s absence may have changed the equation, but it didn’t change the expectation.

ELECTION materials are now in municipalities across the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), with 808 police personnel deployed to secure preparations for the polls, according to the Commission on Elections (Comelec).

Among those deployed from Region 12 are 334 Special Election Boards (SEBs), forming part of the police contingent tasked with helping secure the electoral preparations.

Comelec Chairman George Erwin M. Garcia said distribution from election hubs to municipalities remains ongoing, with ballots going to city treasurers and other election paraphernalia being delivered to local Comelec offices.

‘The deployment from the hubs to the municipalities is ongoing, with the ballots being delivered to the city treasurers, while all the other election paraphernalia are being brought to the local Comelec offices,’ Garcia said.

Comelec wants distribution completed by Sept. 8 so election officers and teachers can prepare for the final testing and sealing set on Sept. 12.

Garcia said preparations will cover all 5,212 polling precincts across BARMM ahead of the final testing and sealing.

Police deployment is proceeding alongside the movement of election materials as authorities brace for security challenges during the electoral process.

Garcia warned against treating the number of election-related incidents as a stand-alone measure of peace and order in the region.

‘Peace and order should not really be measured by one election-related incident, whatever others may say, because that one incident involved the interim chief minister,’ Garcia said.

BARMM has recorded only one election-related incident so far, a figure Garcia said authorities can be proud of but should not use as assurance that the polls will remain peaceful.

‘We should be proud that there is only one incident in the entire Bangsamoro, but that is not enough,’ Garcia said.

What matters now, according to the poll body chief, is whether security forces are positioned properly and can keep the situation under control throughout voting and the completion of the election.

‘What is important is whether the forces are properly deployed and whether we can maintain a peaceful election until election day and until the election is finished,’ Garcia said.

Comelec is consequently pushing to finish the distribution of election materials while police deployment continues ahead of the final testing and sealing.
