    THE Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) and the University of Asia and the Pacific (UA&P) recently signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) for the provision of training and education for PhilHealth's employees.
    Under the MOA, UA&P shall provide its expertise in training and education for PhilHealth employees based on their training needs through the Center for Research and Communication.

    The signing ceremony was held at the UA&P between PhilHealth President and CEO Alexander A. Padilla and UA&P President Dr. Jose Maria G. Mariano.
    Padilla emphasized the importance of training for the attainment of universal coverage, saying that "this is a significant part of PhilHealth's evolving into a more academic and professional institution, requiring a lot of quality building and professional teaching, towards universal coverage. I hope that we can further expand our curriculum to cover other aspects that are necessary for PhilHealth."
    The MOA shall be effective for two years, but PhilHealth is hopeful that the partnership will be renewed until PhilHealth is able to build the capacities of its employees with new learning and skills to better serve its members.
    The UA&P is a private, non-profit institution of higher learning that offers some of the most outstanding academic programs in Asia because of their distinct focus on the human person’s multi-faceted development. Faithful to its Credo, UA&P aspires to form “individuals who are professionally competent, creative and enterprising, zealous for the common good, and capable of making free, morally upright choices, and who can thus act as positive agents of change and service to society.” (END)

    PCG: China’s bullying in West Philippine Sea undermines international law --- Ghio Ong - The Philippine Star

    MANILA, Philippines — Letting China sustain its aggression in the West Philippine Sea would make other countries doubt the strength of international law currently being asserted by the Philippines, Commodore Jay Tarriela of the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) said. “Allowing China to blatantly disregard the established rules-based order threatens the very foundation that we all depend on,” he wrote in a post on X last Tuesday. He added, “If we permit this, countries worldwide may forget why this order was created in the first place. Nations could begin to doubt the significance of adhering to international law if powerful bullies can easily violate it.” Tarriela also said defiance of other countries to a rules-based order would result in the prevalence of cruelty. He wrote, “This could lead us back to a time when might makes right, undermining the global structures that keep human greed, savagery and barbarism in check. Such a scenario would not only invite challenges from aggressive ...

    Social media seen as cause of rising intermarriages --- Helen Flores - The Philippine Star

    MANILA, Philippines — The Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO) sees social media as the main reason for the rising number of Filipinos marrying or becoming partners of foreign nationals. In 2022, the CFO recorded 6,854 marriages or partnerships with foreign nationals, a 40.1 percent increase from the 4,891 “intermarriages” recorded in 2021. “First of all, what we see in the increase in the marriage rate of Filipinos or Filipinos with foreign partners is because of social media, (that) is number one; matchings; letters, introduction of their friends,” CFO chairperson Romulo Arugay said at the Bagong Pilipinas Ngayon public briefing yesterday. Arugay said the agency has been registering a high number of intermarriages since 2007, but the figures went down during the COVID-19 pandemic. From over 6,500 Filipinos who married foreign nationals, only 600 are men, he said. Most of them are married to Americans, Japanese, Germans, Canadians and Australians, Arugay said. Arugay warned Fi...
