March 25, 2023

Cebu

EXPLAINER: Why Sandiganbayan rejected Ronda town treasurer’s defense that the mayor coerced him on illegal P2.063M cash advances and he didn’t get a centavo from disbursements. Anti-graft court asks accountable officials to be courageous, not fearful.

March 25, 2023

Cebu

EXPLAINER: Is face-mask wearing in Cebu City over? Still voluntary. In schools, businesses, most public spaces, with owner/manager/head of office as decider on rule and enforcement. No official declaration of end to anti-Covid masks although Mayor Mike’s EO expired last December 31.

March 25, 2023

KNOW FACTS, SAVE LIVES. While women are more vulnerable than men to more reproductive cancers, research yields evidence that certain factors within women’s control — such as breastfeeding and regular vigorous exercise — decrease the risks to breast cancer. Health advocates and professionals should promote information and education to empower women to know their bodies and take charge of their health. / PEXELS
