The delegates composed of members of the business sector, the academe and community, were in awe of the stars and studios that they could only just see previously on-screen via TFC.  Delegate Kazzandra Ruaro a student from Agana said while their Filipino teacher in the University of Guam required them to join the tour as part of their curriculum, she sees it more as an immersion rather than a requirement.    Ruaro said: “The most important part of it is that it (the tour) creates awareness and shows the young generation a different side of the Filipino, the Philippine culture and the country itself and how it is becoming more modern, especially in ABS-CBN, how we can use media to our advantage and expose the Philippines in a positive light.”  For Ruaro, media plays an important role in showcasing the Philippines’ best. 




Mariezel Pioquinto, a 35-year old student nurse from Emmanuel Hospital in San Francisco affirms this type of exposure as important to the young generation.  “Sa mga new generation, (the importance is) the feeling of getting to know their origin - saan sila galing, why the parents are so attached to the country, kasi kung minsan nawawala na (To the new generation, this exposure is important because they get to know their origin, where they came from and why their parents are so attached.  Sometimes, the connection gets lost).  Pioquinto adds, “Like my children, they don’t feel it (culture) anymore.  I think they do understand the language but they don’t want to speak it.  They say they are just making common sense of what they see on TFC.  They say it’s the scenario (they understand).”  To help address this gap, TFC has programs sub-titled in English for the 2nd generation to understand.

According to Agcaoilli, “The visit to the ABS-CBN studios is the most fun part of the tour.  Like right now (a few minutes before “It’s Showtime” started), the audience is being hyped to dance and sing along with everyone.  This makes it more fun.”

Aside from the tour of ABS-CBN, the delegation also travelled to a local tourism site in Batangas, Southwestern Luzon and Manila Ocean Park in Manila as part of their Pasarap provincial tour, and to a local spa as part of the Paganda component.  The highlight of their tour, aside from the tour of ABS-CBN, is their meet and greet with the highest official of the land, President Benigno “PNoy” Aquino in Malacañan Palace.   

Hospitality (Mainit na Pagtanggap)
Agcaoilli said he foresees the ACGTD making ABS-CBN and TFC as a part of the yearly itinerary.  With ABS-CBN TFC’s mission to be the companion of overseas Filipinos in every part of their journey, through a showcase of homegrown programs and the companionship of stars, TFC seems to be the perfect, perennial tour stop.

ABS-CBN TFC’s programs, including “TV Patrol,” “ASAP” and “It’s Showtime” can be seen via TFC’s various platforms worldwide.  “Ready, Get, MOR” can be seen and heard on DZMM Teleradyo and 630 via TFC’s platforms in Middle East, Europe, Australia, Japan and the rest of Asia-Pacific and can be heard in North America.  Connect with fellow global Filipinos, visitwww.facebook.com/KapamilyaTFC or follow @KapamilyaTFC on twitter or instagram for updates.

POPCOM, gagamit ng ‘digital platforms’ para pagtibayin ang mga ugnayang pampamilya

Mas pinalalawig ng Komisyon sa Populasyon at Pagpapaunlad (POPCOM) ang adhikain nitong pagpapalaganap at pagpapabuti ng pakikipag-ugnayan ng mga nakakatandang Pilipino sa kanilang mga anak na nagdadalaga at nagbibinata. Nitong Setyembre 21, ang POPCOM ay nagsagawa ng isang “parent-teen talk webinar” gamit ang Zoom, kung saan ang isang “interactive program” ang nagbigay ng naaayon na kaalaman at kasanayan sa mga magulang, habang tumulong ito sa mga anak na teenager na maabot ang kanilang buong potensyal. Hinikayat din nito ang mga nanay at tatay na sumali sa malayang usapan, lalo na sa mga usapin ukol sa sex at sekswalidad, na nakikitang makakatulong upang bumaba ang mga bilang ng mga pagbubuntis sa hanay ng mga kabataan. Maaaring mapanood ang webinar sa https://youtu.be/lZ9jrJCjYas. Ayon kay Ikalawang Kalihim (Undersecretary) Juan Antonio A.

UP Diliman Professors Share Scientists’ Procurement Struggles at Senate Hearing

By Harvey Sapigao Senate hearing of the revised procurement law (Photo credit: Senate of the Philippines) College of Science (CS) Dean Giovanni Tapang held up a little white device as he finished his presentation. “This is a ₱150,000 component,” he described. “Isa lang gumagawa nito sa buong mundo, pero ang hirap pilitin sila na magregister sa PhilGEPS,” he continued, referring to the requirement that foreign companies must first register to the Philippine Government Electronic Procurement System (PhilGEPS) before they can sell products to local scientists. Marine Science Institute (MSI) Deputy Director Dr. Irene Rodriguez explained that the small device is a resin that filters metals in water. “May budget tayo,” she said, “pero ang problema ko ay ‘yung resin na ito.” This and other bottlenecks brought about by the procurement law, or the Government Procurement Reform Act (RA 9184), slow down research and development in the country. UPD leaders were invited to the Senate he

Biden said set to make push for demilitarized Palestinian state as part of new doctrine ---By LAZAR BERMAN

New York Times’ Thomas Friedman, who’s close to the US administration, says emerging doctrine would include Saudi-Israeli normalization, 2-state solution, and campaign against Iran US President Joe Biden’s administration is homing in on a new doctrine involving an unprecedented push to immediately advance the creation of a demilitarized but viable Palestinian state, The New York Times’ Thomas Friedman reported on Thursday. The plan, Friedman wrote, “would involve some form of US recognition of a demilitarized Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip that would come into being only once Palestinians had developed a set of defined, credible institutions and security capabilities to ensure that this state was viable and that it could never threaten Israel.” White House officials “have been consulting experts inside and outside the US government about different forms this recognition of Palestinian statehood might take,” revealed Friedman. What he termed the new “Biden Doctrin
