John Lloyd Cruz takes indefinite leave of absence

John Lloyd Cruz (MNS photo) ABS-CBN and John Lloyd Cruz have agreed on the actor taking an indefinite leave of absence from showbiz to attend to “personal matters,” ABS-CBN announced on Friday. ABS-CBN added that the “Home Sweetie Home” star will resume work once he returns from his break. “John Lloyd will be taking a break outside the country and will return to ABS-CBN after his leave of absence,” the company said in a press statement. This means Cruz will miss the Kapamilya Fiesta Caravan on October 15 in Barcelona, Spain, among his other commitments. He was billed as one of the main draws of the event along with Bea Alonzo, Enchong Dee, and Piolo Pascual. Cruz was last spotted in public at the private birthday party of his close friend, Maja Salvador, held Thursday. He also attended the 2017 Star Magic Ball but opted to skip the red carpet.  (MNS)

Barangay Hydrophonics Can Potentially Solve The Food Problem In The Philippines

Despite recent advances in food technology, hunger is still a big problem in our country. Over 7 million children experience hunger and malnutrition in the Philippines because of inadequate access to nutritious food, lack of nutrition education and poor health and sanitation services. Robi del Rosario knows this problem too well, and has developed a novel way to address it: “Aquaponics” – the science of growing plants without soil in a way that almost anyone can replicate. His Barangay Aquaponics project aims to help marginalized communities to solve one of their biggest concerns: the lack of access to healthy, nutritious food. “The United Nations stated [that] to end world hunger, we need to have localized food systems. And we feel that aquaponics will be part of the future in how we produce food, because it’s not only sustainable, it will also help address our nutrition problem, especially the children,” Del Rosario told Rappler. The simple system looks complicated but is actually pretty easy to replicate: a fish tank is positioned right below a grow bed, and waste generated by fish like tilapia and shrimp are converted to food for the plants by nitrifying bacteria. The plants, in turn, filters and recirculates the clean water back to the fish, where the cycle begins again. According to Del Rosario, the system is very low maintenance – after it’s been setup, there’s very little to look after and maintain. The system is also very efficient in terms of the space required and needed Read More …

7 Sacrifices Successful Entrepreneurs Make Today for Financial Freedom Tomorrow

We all dream of becoming successful. While some prefer having a simple life, simply relying on our day job may not be sufficient to secure the future of the family. Sometimes the best way to provide for the needs of the family is to start our own business. Building a business is hard work. You need to figure out the best location for the business, secure permits, hire people; the list goes on. All these tasks require time and effort. To become an entrepreneur means to sacrifice a lot. Leisure Time: Starting a business requires a lot of time. You need to focus not only on one aspect of the business, but the entirety of it. Time with family and friends may be sacrificed. Instead of relaxing and hanging around with friends, entrepreneurs would find themselves working more than 8 hours a day, and sometimes even on weekends. So if you used to be a happy-go-lucky guy, entrepreneurship could be a whole new world which could shock you in the first few months. Money: Starting a business means having to spend your hard-earned money. If you used to party every weekend or go out on trips with your family and friends, that may have to change. Starting a business means having to cut down on your expenses. Every centavo should count as you focus on sustaining the business. Properties and Assets: You may have to let go of some of your possessions as you try to sustain your business. But Read More …

The Writers of the Future winner is also given a spot in the pre-gala awards’ week-long intensive, five-day master-class workshop in Hollywood where writers are taught the skills and techniques to become true professionals.
