Nang ibahagi ni Pangulong Marcos ang pananaw na ito sa 2025 Open Government Partnership: Asia and the Pacific Regional Meeting, ipinaalala niya ang isang katotohanan mas masigla ang demokrasya kung bukas at walang itinatago ang gobyerno.

Hindi luho ang karapatan sa impormasyon. Haligi ito nang tapat na gobyerno at mamamayang may boses. Susi ito sa pakikilahok ng bawat mamamayan.

Sa pagiging bukas ng gobyerno, at sa tulong ng digital technology, nabubuwag ang hadlang sa pagitan ng mamayan at pamahalaan. Kung may access sa impormasyon ang mamamayan, nagiging katuwang sila sa pagtatayo ng bansa.

Kung nasusuri ng taong-bayan ang pera, kontrata, proyekto at mga desisyon ng gobyerno, nababantayan nila ang pondo at lumalaki ang kanilang tiwala. At sa tulong ng digital technology, hindi na nila kailangang bumiyahe, sumulat, o maghintay nang matagal para sa isang tanong o transaksyon.

Kaya pangunahing isinusulong ni Pangulong Marcos ang panukalang Right to Information law para matiyak natin ang gobyerno tapat — at kinabukasan kung saan likas ang pagtitiwala at nakikinabang ang lahat sa pag-unlad ng bansa.

Dahil ang isang pamahalaang bukas ay matatag. Ang mamamayang may kaalaman ay bansang matatag.

The Philippine Truth Commission welcomed the ruling of a trial chamber of the International Criminal Court (ICC) that former president Rodrigo Duterte is fit to stand trial for the case of crimes against humanity pending before the court.

In a statement over the weekend, the Commission, a civilian-led independent body that seeks to uncover the truth on Duterte’s Drug War, said that with the decision, the long-awaited trial can now proceed.

“The court’s decision removes the last major obstacle to a trial that the families of those killed during Rodrigo Duterte’s ‘drug war’ have waited years to see,” Carlos Conde, Truth Commission commissioner and spokesman, said.

On October 8, the ICC’s Trial Chamber III bared a September 28 decision that Duterte is fit to stand trial set to begin on November 30.

Conde said the ruling means Duterte will finally face the charges against him in open court, and the evidence and testimonies related to the killings that accompanied his drug war can now be presented.

An independent panel of experts unanimously found that Duterte understands the case against him and can help his lawyers prepare his defense, Conde noted, saying that the ruling means the former President can no longer invoke health reasons to delay or stop the proceedings.

Conde said the proceedings would provide a chance to establish what happened during the anti-drug campaign.

The Truth Commission, chaired by former ICC Judge Raul C. Pangalangan, was organized by church and civic leaders in May to document the human rights violations in Duterte’s drug war, honor the victims and provide a forum for closure among their families, advance accountability and institutional reform, strengthen human rights and the rule of law, and contribute to national healing and lasting peace.

MANILA, Philippines – The Department of Health (DOH) and local health officials began working together to identify communities that often flood and distribute doxycycline, a medicine for leptospirosis, to people who must wade through floodwaters for their daily activities.

Health Secretary Edwin Mercado said in an interview that he told DOH staff to work with barangay health workers to find people who have walked through floods and give them doxycycline.

Mercado admitted that going to barangay health centers or getting a doctor’s prescription for doxycycline can be difficult and time-consuming.

“Ang ginagawa po natin pro-actively ay tayo na po ang pumupunta sa bawat barangay at inaalam natin sino po ba ang hindi maiiwasang lumusong sa baha, tulad ng mga riders at trabahador. Ang mga health workers ay ating binibigyan ng payo na hanapin sila sa mga barangay para makapabigay tayo ng doxycycline, para hindi na sila pupunta sa mga barangay health stations,” Mercado said.

Mercado said that tracking people exposed to floods is currently slow and difficult, so they are looking into using technology to get real-time data, like mapping flooded communities for faster health response.

“Kailangan mayroon tayong sistema (for forecasting) na computerized para real time ang ating data. Iyon po ay ginagawaan ng paraan. Pati na rin po ang supply chain, stock level, pati na rin ang ordering cycle (ng doxycycline),” Mercado said.

In a separate interview, Dr. Grace Padilla, the officer in charge and Manila City Health Officer, said that barangay health workers in Manila are actively going house to house as part of the city’s efforts to control the spread of leptospirosis.

Nearly 200,000 doses of doxycycline have already been given to residents, as the City Health Office expects more leptospirosis cases because of the constant rain and flooding in some parts of the city.

Padilla said Manila hospitals and health facilities are on alert because leptospirosis cases could rise as the rains continue.

Padilla said that six Manila hospitals set up to care for leptospirosis patients are now operating beyond their usual bed capacity.

Under standard procedures, hospitals are expected to increase capacity by adding 10 percent more beds for severe leptospirosis cases.

Manila has started using its infectious disease facilities and wards, including areas that were once used for COVID-19 patients, to handle the growing number of leptospirosis patients at Sta. Ana Hospital.

The Manila City Health Department is also monitoring other water- and weather-related diseases, such as cholera, typhoid fever, and flu-like illnesses, as the rains and flooding continue. RNT

Baguio, Philippines – Recognizing the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in everyday life and the importance of making digital learning accessible to all generations, SM Supermalls, through SM City Baguio, partnered with the Department of Information and Communications Technology – Cordillera Administrative Region (DICT-CAR) to conduct a learning session on Artificial Intelligence for senior citizens and children at SM City Baguio.

The learning session brought together participants from different generations, providing them with an opportunity to discover how AI works, explore its practical applications, and better understand how emerging technologies can be used responsibly in their everyday lives.

Participants were introduced to the basics of Artificial Intelligence through interactive discussions and demonstrations designed to make the technology easier to understand and more accessible. The session also highlighted practical ways AI can support learning, creativity, information access, and other everyday activities while emphasizing the importance of using technology safely and responsibly.

For the children, the session served as an opportunity to explore AI as a learning and creative tool, encouraging curiosity and digital awareness at an early age. Meanwhile, senior citizens were given the opportunity to become more familiar with emerging technologies and discover how AI can be integrated into their daily digital experiences.

Young participants listen attentively as DICT-CAR introduces them to the possibilities and practical applications of Artificial Intelligence during the learning session at SM City Baguio

More than simply introducing a new technology, the initiative reflects the importance of lifelong digital learning. As technology continues to evolve, SM City Baguio and DICT-CAR aim to help communities of all ages become more confident, informed, and responsible digital users.

Senior citizens actively engage in a discussion on Artificial Intelligence with DICT-CAR, gaining practical insights on how AI can be used safely and responsibly in everyday life.

Throughout the session, participants actively engaged with DICT-CAR resource speakers, explored the capabilities of AI, and learned practical ways to navigate emerging digital technologies. The interactive discussions also encouraged participants to ask questions and share their experiences, creating a learning environment where both young and older participants could discover technology together.

For mothers and their children, the session provided an opportunity to learn about AI together and better understand how emerging technology can be used at home and in school.

Joan Jimenez, who attended the session with her 10-year-old son, Jacob Jimenez, a Grade 5 student, shared how the activity gave children an opportunity to become more familiar with a technology that is increasingly becoming part of their everyday lives.

“Yung age ng mga bata ngayon, very common na yung AI. I think magandang opportunity sa kanila ito para ma-broaden yung knowledge nila at ma-experience din kung paano nagwo-work ang AI. I am very thankful kasi ino-open ng SM City Baguio ang mga ganitong opportunities para sa mga kids. I hope na mas marami pang ganitong programs,” Joan shared.

She also appreciated having a safe and accessible venue where children could continue learning despite challenges such as class suspensions and unfavorable weather conditions.

“For us, despite the weather and the suspension of classes, we feel safe here at SM City Baguio while the kids are learning and participating in activities like this,” she added.

10-year-old Jacob Jimenez raises questions during the AI learning session, exploring how Artificial Intelligence can support learning and creativity.

Her son, Jacob, was particularly interested in discovering how AI can be used beyond simple conversations and searches, sharing how his curiosity about the technology has already inspired him to experiment with it.

“I want to know more about AI because it is futuristic technology. I tried a game where you have to use AI, and I also made an app,” Jacob shared.

AI FOR ALL AGES – Senior citizens actively participate in the AI learning session led by DICT-CAR.

The session also encouraged senior citizens to embrace new technologies and discover that digital learning is not limited by age.

Cheryl Alquiza, one of the senior participants, said the session provided valuable information that could help senior citizens become more aware of the risks they may encounter in the digital space.

“We learned so much information, and the experiences shared by someone who was scammed were a big help to us, especially us seniors. Sometimes, we are very vulnerable to scams. Hindi namin alam na puwede ka pala maloko through text and messages lang,” Cheryl shared.

She also emphasized the importance of staying alert when using digital and financial services.

“Dapat aware din tayo, especially when using ATMs, because we learned that there are also things we need to be careful about when using them,” she added.

The inclusive nature of the activity was also highlighted by Engineer Katherine Aguilar of DICT-CAR, who discussed Artificial Intelligence during the learning session. She noted how the participation of both children and senior citizens demonstrated that technology can serve as a bridge across generations.

“Maganda yung ginawa natin kasi from kids to seniors, it only goes to show na yung technology ay walang pinipiling edad. Very inclusive siya,” Engineer Aguilar shared. “SM City Baguio is not just for shopping or entertainment, but it is also a venue for learning. So we’re very happy that we have the venue provided by SM.”

The stories of the participants highlight the value of creating learning opportunities that bring generations together. From children discovering new possibilities through technology to senior citizens gaining greater awareness of digital tools and online safety, the session demonstrated that digital literacy can be a shared learning experience for the entire community.

The initiative reinforces SM City Baguio’s commitment to creating meaningful learning opportunities for the community. By bringing digital literacy programs closer to different generations, SM continues to support a more digitally inclusive community where everyone can participate, learn, and benefit from the opportunities brought by technology.

PASIG CITY, Philippines — Great Philippine coffee begins long before it reaches the cup. It begins with farmers who patiently nurture every bean, artisans who preserve generations of craftsmanship, and entrepreneurs who transform passion into products that proudly represent the country.

These stories took center stage at the Biyaya Sustainable Living Festival, where coffee farmers, local roasters, artisans, and entrepreneurs from across the Philippines gathered to celebrate coffee, culture, craftsmanship, and sustainability.

Organized by the Coffee Heritage Project, together with SM for MSMEs, Manila Coffee Festival, Coffee Expo Manila, and public and private sector partners, the three-day festival transformed SM Megamall into a vibrant showcase of Philippine coffee—bringing together more than 300 local brands and 150 exhibitors while connecting visitors with the people behind every cup.

Royston Cabunag, Assistant Vice President and Head of SM Communities at SM Supermalls, shares SM’s commitment to empowering Filipino entrepreneurs through SM for MSMEs, creating opportunities that help local businesses gain greater market access, stronger visibility, and sustainable growth.

Welcoming guests during the festival opening, Royston Cabunag, Assistant Vice President and Head of SM Communities at SM Supermalls, underscored SM’s commitment to supporting Filipino entrepreneurs through meaningful opportunities. 

“At SM Supermalls, we believe our role goes beyond providing places where people shop. Through our SM for MSMEs program, we create platforms where MSMEs can be discovered, local brands can flourish, and communities can thrive.”

Coffee farmers, local roasters, and entrepreneurs connect directly with festival visitors, demonstrating how meaningful partnerships and initiatives like SM for MSMEs help local businesses reach more customers and continue growing beyond the festival.

One of the festival’s highlights was the recognition of Filipino coffee producers on the global stage through the Agency for the Valorization of Agricultural Products (AVPA) in Paris, France. Among those honored was Felipa Lyn Delusen Villicana of Sagada, Mountain Province, recipient of the prestigious Gourmet Gold Medal (Hors Catégorie) for Coffee Bean Excellence. Reflecting on the recognition, Aling Felipa shared: “Ang lupa sa amin at ang mga tao ang nagpasarap ng aming kape. Biyaya po iyan talaga.” 

Her story echoed the festival’s central message—that behind every great cup of coffee are communities whose hard work, traditions, and passion deserve to be celebrated.

Award-winning coffee farmer Aling Felipa Villicana is one of the many homegrown coffee farmers featured in the festival, she is the recipient of the prestigious Gourmet Medal “Hors Categorie” for Most Unique and Exceptional Coffee from the Agency for the Valorization of Agricultural Products

For Daniel Maches, co-founder of Banolmi Enterprises in Mountain Province, coffee farming also means protecting the environment for future generations. 

“We are encouraging communities to plant coffee while at the same time protect the rainforest and natural ecosystems.” 

Meanwhile, Justina Alcosaba Pari-an, Chairwoman of the Rempes Modern Farmers Agricultural Cooperative in Maguindanao and recipient of an AVPA Silver Medal, shared how improving quality has transformed their livelihood. 

“Sa pamamagitan ng tamang proseso, tumaas ang kalidad at halaga ng aming kape. Ngayon, tunay na itong nagbibigay ng pangkabuhayan sa aming komunidad.”

The festival also showcased how Philippine coffee continues to inspire a new generation of entrepreneurs. For Raven Salvador, owner of After Hours, what started as simple curiosity eventually grew into a thriving business. 

“I got curious about coffee, and that curiosity turned into a passion. I started learning more about it and eventually combined that passion with my dream of starting a business. So far, so good.”

Throughout the festival, visitors enjoyed coffee tastings, artisan demonstrations, cultural performances, educational talks, and the popular Meet the Makers sessions, where they connected directly with the farmers, roasters, and entrepreneurs behind the products they brought home. 

Through initiatives like the Biyaya Sustainable Living Festival, SM for MSMEs continues to support Filipino entrepreneurs by creating platforms where local products, craftsmanship, and homegrown stories can be discovered by more communities.

More than a festival, Biyaya is a celebration of Philippine coffee, culture, community, and sustainability—bringing together people, traditions, and local enterprises in one meaningful experience.
Filipino artisans bring generations of craftsmanship to life, showcasing handmade creations that preserve the country’s rich cultural heritage while opening new opportunities for local enterprises.

More than a celebration of coffee, Biyaya honored the people behind every cup—bringing together farmers, artisans, entrepreneurs, and partners with a shared commitment to preserving Philippine coffee heritage while creating opportunities for local communities to thrive.

Because behind every great cup of Philippine coffee is a community worth discovering.

As smartphones become more powerful, experiences such as AI-powered productivity, cloud gaming, high-definition streaming, video calls, and content creation rely on dependable mobile networks. Together, Cyberzone and DITO are helping consumers unlock the full potential of today’s mobile technology.

Joining the Mobile Expo in partnership with Salmon, Cyberzone also makes smartphone upgrades more accessible through flexible payment solutions, allowing more Filipinos to own the latest devices with greater affordability and convenience.

Adding another layer of excitement to the event is Razer Gold, the official Game Top-Up Partner, which brought the gaming community together through a dedicated Gaming Lounge available throughout both days of the expo. The interactive space gave visitors a chance to connect, play, and experience mobile gaming in a fun and engaging environment. On Day 2, the excitement culminated with a Mobile Legends tournament, drawing aspiring players, gaming enthusiasts, and spectators for an action-packed competition that further showcased Cyberzone as a destination for both technology and gaming communities.

Participating brands Vivo, TECNO, HONOR, Infinix, UGREEN, and DataBlitz also showcased their latest innovations through product demonstrations, exclusive promotions, and hands-on experiences, giving shoppers even more reasons to discover what’s new in mobile technology.

The strong turnout during the opening weekend reflects the growing demand for hands-on technology experiences. Rather than relying solely on online reviews and product specifications, visitors were able to explore the latest innovations firsthand, compare features across multiple brands, ask questions directly to product experts, and make informed purchasing decisions with confidence.

“Technology is evolving faster than ever, and choosing the right smartphone has become more important than simply choosing the latest one,” said Patrick Pacla, Vice President for Operations and Marketing (Sponsorship and Cyberzone) of SM Supermalls. “The Cyberzone Mobile Expo is designed to help Filipinos discover what’s new, experience the latest innovations firsthand, and shop with confidence through our trusted retailers. Together with our partners DITO Telecommunity and Salmon, we’re creating a more connected, accessible, and rewarding mobile shopping experience for everyone.”

As the Philippines’ largest and most trusted technology destination, SM Cyberzone continues to bring together the country’s leading technology retailers and global brands under one roof. Through its network of authorized retailers, shoppers are assured of genuine products, reliable after-sales support, and the confidence that comes with #TechAssured shopping.

Following its successful kickoff at SM North EDSA, the Cyberzone Mobile Expo continues its nationwide tour with its next stop at SM City Laoag on July 18–19, 2026, followed by SM City Santa Rosa on July 25–26, 2026, bringing the latest smartphones, exclusive deals, immersive experiences, a maxed-out experience, and trusted shopping to even more communities across the country.
