They say, when the going gets tough – rock on! And in these trying times, that includes making sure you stay in the flow and don’t let a few life hiccups or even minor symptoms get in the way of your job and other essential day-to-day activities. Living through a pandemic, it may be quite the norm for people to feel uneasy and even over cautious about catching not just COVID-19 but any kind of sickness. Although keeping of our natural immune system in great shape is a top health priority, still we would rather not contract or show any…

By Karen Joyce Yam Pasta al Limone is pasta in a lemon butter cream sauce. The dish only has a few ingredients, so the quality of the ingredients is really important! I ordered what I needed from landers.ph, and paid using the Paymaya virtual card. It’s so convenient! There’s no need to go out. Just order safely from home, pay via Paymaya, and wait for the scheduled delivery. You don’t have to expose yourself to unnecessary risks. Here’s how to make the classic Pasta al Limone:

The so called “New Normal” seems like it is here to stay for a long period of time. Everyone is asked to stay home as much as possible to prevent being infected or catching the highly contagious coronavirus. Because of this, schools and businesses need to adjust to this new norm in which online classes and jobs are being done at home. Essential in the new set-up is of course, reliable internet connection and a durable smartphone, laptop, or desktop computer. In this current situation, we are forced to invest in gadgets that are reliable to ensure that the quality…

If Filipinas were to ask anything about sex, they’d be met with a judging silence. Oftentimes, they’re left grasping in the dark, overshadowed by a conservative culture where sex is left within the context of marriage. But NOTI, an up-and-coming adult toy shop made for Filipinas, wants to change all that. They seek to empower women by placing their sexuality in their own hands. The owners, Prism and Anders, have built this passion project as the one-stop-shop for everything a woman might need to be the master of her own pleasure. “Women have sexual needs, and it’s normal, they should…

Lunad sa Balod, a yearly competition organized by the Gubat Sorsogon Surf-riders Association (GSSA) is putting Sorsogon on the surfing map. Surfers from all over the nation headed to Gubat to surf and outdo each other with their surfing skills. Over the years it has not only attracted local surfers but international surfers as well. The surfing community has already started making a name for itself in the sleepy town in Gubat but this was done in secret since surfing was not allowed on the beach during the 70s and 80s. The surfing community started making waves on 2009 through a…

Story by Kirk Chester Dy Photos by Danilo Factor Last September 2018, Westlife’s lead vocalist Shane Filan, returned to Manila with a successful solo concert held at the New Frontier Theater (formerly known as Kia Theatre). During his concert, he promised to return to the Philippines, this time with the rest of the Westlife boys for their upcoming reunion tour.

By Kitty Amante-Gamboa and Oshean Lee Garonita Typhoon Ompong (intl name: Mangkhut) might be the strongest storm to hit the planet this year but its effects could have been more devastating if not for the massive wall that hampered its greater impact, environmentalists say. Sierra Madre is the longest mountain range in the Philippines, spanning almost 500 kilometers in length. Its highest peak has an elevation of 1,266 meters above sea level or equivalent to three Petronas Towers of Malaysia stacked together. Also known as the ‘backbone of Luzon’, the Sierra Madre is home to a large number of threatened…

Unionbank has received what I think is an unjust amount of criticism these days, as the latest bank to suffer yet another incident that could have proven costly.  For those who haven’t actually heard, an employee of Unionbank attempted to steal 17 million pesos from the bank, but thanks to the bank’s robust security measures, she was caught and arrested, and the money was recovered. The string of incidents that have hit the banking industry of late are causing what I personally find to be irrational fear, if anything these trials are proving to be the banking sector’s finest hour,…

In his recent column for the Philippine Star, no less than former Senate President Ernesto Maceda described Senator Gregorio “Gringo” Honasan II as a hardworking senator who would most likely become a hardworking vice president if he wins in the coming national elections. Having authored numerous, mostly landmark legislation addressing urgent national concerns such as agrarian reform, disaster risk reduction, indigenous people’s rights, clean air, drunk and drugged driving, solid waste management, dangerous drugs, firearms and ammunition regulation, and illegal explosives, Honasan said he will continue to work hard for the welfare of the nation and its people regardless of…
