For over a century, Meralco has been an integral part of everyday Filipino life—powering homes, fueling industries, and lighting up communities. As it marked its 123rd year, the company continues to move towards a clear direction—powering the nation through passion, purpose, and progress. Beyond the power lines and substations, there is another story quietly unfolding—one that reflects the company’s deeper sense of malasakit. A story not about people, but also about animals. A Different Kind of Service Animal welfare is not something many would immediately associate with a power distribution company. Yet for Meralco, service goes beyond the electricity needs…

The no-show of the majority bloc in Monday’s Senate session sought to hold legislation hostage over the arrest of Sen. Jose “Jinggoy” Estrada – but will not solve anything, Sen. Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson said Tuesday. Lacson said what happened Monday was not a case of standing up for the Senate’s independence but plain and simple dereliction of duty by the majority bloc led by Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano. “Standing up for the Senate’s independence does not place SP Cayetano and any senator above the law. It has nothing to do with non-adherence to the rule of law. Dereliction…

By Atty. Sonny Matula FFW President Bakit sinasalungat namin ang online participation sa pagpanday ng batas? Simple lang ang sagot ng manggagawa: “Kung magpapanday ng bahay, ang karpintero ay dapat nasa worksite. Kung magpapanday ng batas, ang mambabatas ay dapat nasa Batasan — hindi sa taguan, bakasyon, o teleconference na mistulang palusot lamang.” Ang Senado ay hindi ordinaryong group chat, webinar, o Zoom meeting. Ito ay institusyong gumagawa ng batas na may direktang epekto sa buhay ng mamamayan. Ang deliberasyon ay nangangailangan ng aktuwal na presensya, pananagutan, at tapang na humarap sa kapwa mambabatas at sa taumbayan. Babala ng NAGKAISA…

West Zone concessionaire Maynilad Water Services, Inc. (Maynilad) has begun partial operation of its raw water reservoir at the La Mesa Water Treatment Plant (WTP) in Quezon City, enabling the storage of up to 67 million liters of raw water to help stabilize supply during the dry season.  The initial utilization of one converted lagoon within the La Mesa WTP supports Maynilad’s efforts to improve operational flexibility, particularly during periods when inflows from the Angat–Ipo Dam system are reduced due to lower rainfall or allocation adjustments.  The project—targeted for full completion by June 2026—involves the repurposing of former sludge lagoons…

With an estimated $81.5 million North American debut, it didn’t just perform well—it rewrote expectations for what an original horror film can achieve in today’s box office landscape. Set in the 1990s, the story follows Clark (Chiwetel Ejiofor), a once-promising architect whose life has fallen apart due…
