Anne Curtis, who just got married to Erwan Heussaff in New Zealand on Sunday, teased Angel Locsin and Neil Arce that they will probably be the next couple to tie the knot. Curtis made the statement when she commented on Arce’s photo of him and Locsin taken during the “It’s Showtime” host’s pre-wedding party. Without saying much, Curtis wrote: “#NEXTna” Locsin and Arce have been friends for eight years before taking their friendship up a notch. While they have yet to go on record and say that they are officially together now, Locsin described Arce as her “source of happiness.” “Happy kami kung ano kami. We’re very happy. Hindi kami nagmamadali pero sigurado naman kami sa isa’t isa,” Locsin previously said in an interview. Before dating Arce, Locsin was in a relationship with Luis Manzano. On the other hand, Arce, who is a film producer, was previously with Bela Padilla. (MNS)

Jona to pay tribute to her father in upcoming concert

Jonalyn “Jona” Viray (MNS photo) Singer Jonalyn “Jona” Viray turned emotional as she recalled her father Fernando delos Santos Viray, who passed away last October at the age of 51. In an interview on Monday, Jona said she will be paying tribute to her father in her upcoming concert “Prima Jona on November 18 at the Theatre at Solaire. “After po noong mangyari sa father ko, iniisip ko sa sarili ko kung kakayanin ko bang kantahin ang mga kantang ito. Baka mamaya umiyak ako at mag-breakdown lang ako doon? Pero kailangan kong harapin ‘yon. I think ‘yun po ang challenge sa akin kung paano ko made-deliver ang performance ng maayos kahit tagos na tagos po ang mga kantang kakantahin ko,” she said. Jona was in tears as she talked about what she learned from the death of her father. “Dapat hindi tayo magsasayang ng oras kasi hindi natin alam kung kailan mawawala ang isang tao, kung kailan mawawala ang isang bagay. Minsan sinasabi natin na next time o bukas na lang. Pero dapat ang i-practice natin na hindi sa lahat ng bagay laging may next time. Mas i-treasure natin ang ngayon at hanggang maari ay isipin natin na this is our last chance our last day,” she said. “Na-appreciate ko rin po ‘yung buhay. Dapat sobrang inaalagaan natin ang health natin. Para saan pa ‘yung nagtatrabahaho tayo, nagpapayaman or ginagawa natin para sa wealth natin pero kung health ang magsa-suffer? So importante na bigyan natin ng halaga ang health natin. Read More …

Quezon City has enacted an ordinance imposing a total ban on the use of firecrackers and pyrotechnic devices during festivity and other occasions in all public places of the city. The move was hailed by various non-government organizations in Quezon City as an essential health, environmental and safety measure worth replicating by other local government units (LGUs). QC Ordinance No. 2618 Series of 2017 states the ban is being placed in time for the upcoming Christmas holiday season when firecracker explosions are known to cause respiratory ailments, injuries, deaths, and damages to properties. The Quezon City barangay league is in charge of implementing the ban with the assistance of the Department of Public Order and Safety and the Quezon City Police District. “We laud our local officials for enacting this ordinance that promises health and environmental benefits beyond measure for the people of Quezon City… Metro Manila and the whole nation will be watching as Quezon City enforces its ban on firecrackers and other pyrotechnic devices for the common good,” said Thony Dizon, Chemical Safety Campaigner for EcoWaste Coalition in a statement. “Children are at high risk for firecracker-related injuries that can seriously maim or kill… Quezon City’s ban on firecrackers, which all parents should support, will put an end to these gory stories,” said Ines Fernandez, founder of Arugaan, a breastfeeding advocacy group promoting child and maternal health. Clean air advocate Tessa Oliva, Executive Director of Green Convergence, said: “Quezon City’s ban on firecrackers is good news for our Read More …

Ultimate Christmas Gift-Giving Guide to Safe Toys for Children

With Christmas season coming around, parents and gift-givers will soon be picking toys off the shelves of stores in a whirl. Before the holiday rush overwhelms everyone, GoodNewsPilipinas reminds you to remember that gift-giving comes with the responsibility to give toys that will not harm children. Exposure to harmful chemicals and dangerous toys can harm a child’s health over time, affect brain development and result to decreased intelligence as measured by IQ tests, reduced school performance and behavioral problems, according to EcoWaste Coalition. EcoWaste Coalition’s “Santa’s Guide for Safe Toys” provides the parent and gift-giver much-needed tips for the gift-giving season. HERE ARE 8 GUIDELINES TO SAFE AND NON-TOXIC TOYS FOR CHILDREN: 1. Gifts must be age-appropriate Check the packaging for age levels recommended on toys. The age-grading is there for safety and to fit the developmental stage of children. Young children put everything they can get their hands on in their mouths should not be given toys with small parts. Video games rated suitable for older children shouldn’t be given to younger ones. Kids should be able to understand how to use a toy. 2. Look for well-made toys Give toys with parts that are secure, with seams sewed on tight, to avoid causing scratches, strangulation, or suffocation. 3. Avoid toys with small parts Make sure the toy and its parts are larger than the child’s mouth. Tiny pellets or stuffing if swallowed can cause choking. 4. Strings should be shorter than 12 inches Ribbons, cords, or strings 12 Read More …

DLSU-Dasmarinas teams up with UNESCO to champion journalist safety education

De La Salle University – Dasmariñas (DLSUD) in Cavite is making history as it works with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) to pioneer journalism safety education in the Philippines. The university, through its Communication Journalism Department (CJD), discussed with UNESCO the inclusion of journalism safety in the new curriculum to be introduced in 2018. Teaching Journalism Safety UNESCO Jakarta’s Communication and Information Advisor Dr. Ming Kuok Lim visited DLSU-D and held discussions with the CJD faculty to concretize plans for the teaching of journalism safety education. Dr. Lim also shared his insights with students at the Media Information Literacy conference about the safety of journalists and issues of impunity for crimes against journalists. “The inclusion of safety for journalists as a subject in the Broadcast Journalism program can provide our graduates the idea that safety is a right for all journalists. They should start as young as they are that safety for covering events and issues should come from inside – out,” said Artin Umali, Chair of the CJD of DLSU-D. A UNESCO report confirms the plan: “UNESCO and DLSUD are formulating a new curriculum that focuses on teaching safety training to the journalism students in the Philippines. This includes protection and prevention skills to prepare journalists in the country who often face potential danger in their jobs. The proposed curriculum would be one of the first in the Philippines to prioritize the safety of journalists.” COMPACT Days 2017 As a follow up to the UNESCO Read More …
