Posted on: March 30th, 2023 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

NAGPAABOT nang pagbati si Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. kay dating Pangulong Rodrigo Roa Duterte na nagdiwang ng kanyang ika-78 kaarawan, Marso 28,2023.

Sa kanyang official Facebook page, sinabi ni Pangulong Marcos na “What a pleasure for me to wish happy birthday to ating predecessor, PRRD. Happy birthday to you, Mr President.”

Sinabi pa ni Pangulong Marcos, naiintindihan na niya ngayon si Duterte kung bakit kung minsan, noong Pangulo pa siya ng Pilipinas ay napapamura ito.

“Now I know why. Pero huwag niyong inaalala lahat ng magandang sinimulan ninyo, we will continue to work on it. We will contineu to make sure that those projects that you started will be successful and I am glad that I am able to continue the good work that you started,” ani Pangulong Marcos.

Hindi naman alam ni Pangulong Marcos kung paano makakapag-relax pa si Duterte matapos ang “lifetime of work” subalit umaasa siya na maghihinay-hinay na ito sa trabaho at magkaroon ng maayos na selebrasyon ng kanyang kaarawan.

“And so… I don’t know kung makapag-relax ka because after a lifetime of work, I don’t know if you still know how to take it easy but if you got the chance, please have a good celebration. happy, Happy birthday PRRD!,” ang pagbati ni Pangulong Marcos. (Daris Jose)

62.69 MW ng kuryente, natipid ng Pinas sa Earth Hour 2023

Posted on: March 30th, 2023 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

UMABOT sa kabuuang 62.69 megawatts (MW) ng kuryente ang natipid ng Pilipinas sa idinaos na Earth Hour 2023 noong Sabado.

Ayon sa Department of Energy (DOE), ang pinakamalaking electricity savings sa naturang one-hour switch-off ay naitala sa Luzon, na nakatipid ng 33.29 MW.

Sinundan ito ng Mindanao na may 20.5 MW at Visayas na may 8.9 MW.

Matatandaang nakiisa ang maraming Pinoy sa Earth Hour 2023 na idinaos noong Sabado, na sabay-sabay nagpatay ng mga non-essential lights sa pagitan ng alas-?8:30 ng gabi hanggang alas-9:30 ng gabi.

Layunin nitong mabawasan ang epekto ng climate change.

Kaugnay nito, nanawagan sa publiko si Energy Secretary Raphael Lotilla na patuloy na magtipid ng kuryente, sa pamamagitan ng pagpatay ng mga non-essential lights at pagpili ng mga appliances, equipment at makina, na mas energy efficient.

“These are simple yet valuable actions that we can do easily not only for our planet but more especially during periods of high demand such as this summer season,” aniya.

RUSSELL CROWE PLAYS “THE POPE’S EXORCIST” IN HIS FIRST HORROR MOVIE LEAD

Posted on: March 30th, 2023 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

PRIOR to The Pope’s Exorcist, Russell Crowe had never led a horror film.

[Watch the trailer: https://youtu.be/Csfy9Qkvam8]

“It was just something I hadn’t done – a genre I’ve never really touched at all. Scary movies put me off my sleep,” says the Academy Award®-winning actor with a laugh. “I’m incredibly superstitious. Moving in circles like this where you’re examining situations that the characters face… It’s not necessarily a comfortable place for me. Certainly, there were a lot of unusual things happening around us, but you keep your balance and see them as coincidence, otherwise you’re going to drive yourself a little bit insane.”

Lucky for Crowe, there were plenty of things to keep him busy throughout the making of The Pope’s Exorcist.

In order to understand his character and what made him tick, Crowe dove into research, amassing all the material he could about the late Father Gabriele Amorth, the real-life Pope’s exorcist who was able to chronicle his stories in the best-selling memoirs on which the film is based. Crowe travelled to Rome, where he spent a week meeting people from the Vatican who knew the Pope’s exorcist. For all of the rumors of the secretive Church, Crowe says, “I have to say that the Church was very open. We were given some extreme privileges by those in charge at the Vatican.”

Director Julius Avery says that on that trip to Rome, he and Crowe saw firsthand how fondly Father Amorth is remembered, admired, and loved – which Crowe wanted to honor in his portrayal. Of course, the film is not a documentary, and some elements would have poetic license, but within that, “he never went against his real character. It remained grounded and real. That’s why I feel his performance is so wonderful; because he was able to embody the spirit of Father Amorth.”

In his research, Crowe uncovered a man who could make a perfect lead for a mystery thriller – the ultimate insider with the trust of one of the oldest and most powerful organizations on the planet… but also a person of strong convictions and an unflinching thirst for the truth. Crowe says that Amorth’s colleagues and friends from the Vatican told him that the exorcist “never had any disagreements with anybody and always followed the line of the church,” while at the same time, the actor notes, “Father Amorth said some very controversial things in his time. He made some very strong statements, at various points in time, about his beliefs – which weren’t always 100% in line with the Church.”

“He had a certain, particular irreverent take on things that I tried to bring into the film,” Crowe continues. “He’s an individual, not a cookie cutter man of the cloth. He rides a Lambretta motor scooter!”

About The Pope’s Exorcist

Inspired by the actual files of Father Gabriele Amorth, Chief Exorcist of the Vatican (Academy Award®-winner Russell Crowe), The Pope’s Exorcist follows Amorth as he investigates a young boy’s terrifying possession and ends up uncovering a centuries-old conspiracy the Vatican has desperately tried to keep hidden.

The film is directed by Julius Avery, screenplay by Michael Petroni and Evan Spiliotopoulos, screen story by Michael Petroni and R. Dean McCreary & Chester Hastings, based on the books “An Exorcist Tells His Story” and “An Exorcist: More Stories” by Fr. Gabriele Amorth.

The cast is led by Russell Crowe, Daniel Zovatto, Alex Essoe and Franco Nero.

In cinemas starting April 19, The Pope’s Exorcist is distributed in the Philippines by Columbia Pictures, local office of Sony Pictures Releasing International. Connect with the hashtag #ThePopesExorcist

Administrasyong Marcos, inilunsad ang PH Multisectoral Nutrition Project

Posted on: March 30th, 2023 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

PINANGUNAHAN ni Pangulong Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. ang paglulunsad ng Philippine Multi-sectoral Nutrition Project (PMNP) na may temang “Better Bodies and Minds.”

Sa naging talumpati sa nasabing event sa Manila Hotel, sinabi ni Pangulong Marcos na committed ang kanyang administrasyon na mamuhunan sa 110-million strong population ng bansa, kinokonsiderang “main drivers” ng ekonomiya.

Binigyang- diin ni Pangulong Marcos na kailangang hasain ng gobyerno ang mga mamamayan para maging “industrious, potent at productive Filipinos”, na malakas at matatag, matiisin sa kahirapan upang mabuhay ng matagal at i-enjoy ang buhay.

“This is the reason why this Administration has put a high priority and considered it of strategic importance that lies in the areas of food security, health care, and education, amongst others,” ayon sa Pangulo sabay sabing Ito ang dahilan kung bakit kinuha niya ang posisyon bilang Kalihim ng Department of Agriculture, tugunan ang pangunahing hamon.

“Sometimes we do not think about it and therefore do not often realize it, but lodged at the very core of all this is the aspect of good nutrition for our people. On the one hand, we have acknowledged the harrowing state of affairs that hunger and food inadequacy continue to be of paramount national, and for that matter, international concerns,” ayon sa Punong Ehekutibo.

Ang PMNP, isang four-year project, pinangunahan ng Department of Health (DOH) at Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), ay nakatuon tungo sa pag-adopt ng “bold multi-sectoral approach” para makamit ang nutrition-specific at nutrition-sensitive interventions sa iba’t ibang local government units (LGUs).

Tinukoy ang kamakailan lamang na Expanded National Nutrition Survey (ENNS), na binigyang diin ang mataas na insidente ng pagkabansot sa hanay ng health issues sa mga kabataang Filipino, sinabi ng Pangulo na dapat talakayin ng pamahalaan ang malnutrition, naugnay sa “long-term adverse developmental impacts.”

Ang panganib, ayon sa Pangulo ay malaking epekto sa “learning ability, academic performance, all the way to productivity and employment opportunities” sa mga tao at may bitbit din itong hereditary implications.

“Like the problem of food security, these related nutritional issues are also critical and fundamental to the Philippine socio-economic development,” ayon sa Pangulo.

Aniya, ang major nutrition project ay ang “strategic government intervention, adopting a multi-sectoral community participatory approach”.

Ang inisyatiba, nang pinagsama-samang DOH, DSWD, DA, National Nutrition Council, Department of Science and Technology-Food and Nutrition Research Institute (DOST-FNRI) , at maging ang LGUs mula Luzon patungo ss Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), ay mahalaga dahil ang naturang approach ay nakitang effective method para sa multifaceted problem.

Kinilala rin ng Pangulo ang World Bank para sa pagbibigay ng mahalagang funding assistance upang gawing reyalidad ang proyekto.

Tinukoy ang international financial institution, sinabi ng Pangulo na ang mamuhunan sa nutrisyon ay may pangako ng “highest returns”, ginagawa itong “one of the best value-for-money development actions.”

“The project would deliver services straight to the LGUs needing intervention, in the form of primary healthcare support and nutrition services, including Early Childhood Care and Development services, on top of access to clean water and sanitation, technical information, training and financing, among other facets,” aniya pa rin.

Sa kabilang dako, binigyang diin ng Pangulo ang kahalagahan ng partisipasyon ng LGU para maisakatuparan ang proyekto ng walang partnership sa local governments, “we do not get to what is often referred to as the last mile.”

Upang kagyat na matugunan ang malnutrition sa bansa, muling tinawagan ng pansin ng Pangulo ang DOH makipag-collaborate sa ibang government agencies pagdating sa “harmonizing and effecting sound diet and nutritional policies and practices for the people.”

“The government must continue to exert the best efforts to ensure well-orchestrated and coordinated strategy to implement not only the PMNP but all related nutritional programs throughout the country, so as to be able to get a maximum effect for all government efforts,” ayon sa Chief Executive.

Samantala, pinasalamatan naman ng Pangulo ang mga mambabatas para sa tulong ng mga ito sa nutrition project sa pamamagitan ng pagtulong sa administrasyon na i-develop at ilagay sa law policies na makatutulong na lipulin ang malnutrisyon at ingat ang antas ng primary health care at nutrisyon sa Pilipinas.

“As the country continues to face persistent threats of hunger and malnutrition, rest assured that this Administration is working conscientiously to find effective and cross-cutting solutions to address these and other paramount social problems and concerns,” ayon kay Pangulong Marcos.

Petro Gazz shoot para sa korona, Creamline naghahanap ng ‘goma’

Posted on: March 30th, 2023 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

Sa limitadong oras upang maghanda at gumawa ng mga pagsasaayos, sinang-ayunan ng Petro Gazz at Creamline na magsisimula ito kung aling panig ang tatahakin para sa Game 2 ng Premier Volleyball League All Filipino Conference Finals na may tamang pag-iisip.

“Ihanda ang mindset, ihanda ang katawan, at ang lahat ay sumusunod,” sabi ni Petro Gazz coach Oliver Almadro matapos patnubayan ang Angels sa klasikong 25-22, 24-26, 25-23, 26-24 na panalo sa pagbubukas ng kanilang pinakamahusay- of-three series bago ang 11,532 fans sa Pasay arena noong Linggo.

“One day lang ang pahinga, kaya mindset sa next game,” said Creamline mentor Sherwin Meneses, who vowed to strike back in today’s match set at 6:30 p.m. at pilitin ang magpapasya sa Huwebes.

“Mahirap mag-adjust (sa schedule ng training), pero dapat malakas ang mindset (for Game 2),” added Meneses. “Kailangan namin na mas gumalaw ng tama. Gustong manalo ng Petro Gazz, grabe yung laro nila ngayon.”

Ikinalungkot ng multi-titled mentor ang maling pamamasyal ng kanyang mga ward at idiniin ang pangangailangan para sa kanila na tumuon sa pag-iwas sa paggawa ng mga pangunahing pagkakamali sa serbisyo at net touch, bukod sa iba pa.

Sinunggaban ng The Angels ang 22 miscues ng Cool Smashers, kabilang ang match-clinching net violation na medyo nagbigay ng kapanapanabik na tunggalian, na dinagdagan ng matinding palitan ng mga pag-atake, paghuhukay at lahat ng bagay, isang anti-climactic na pagtatapos.

Meneses, gayunpaman, downplayed their last error, a crucial point that Petro Gazz gained on a net touch challenge, saying: “Breaks of the game, pero hindi kami natalo dahil doon, marami kaming lapses, marami kaming errors.”

“Hindi base doon yung pagkatalo namin. Breaks talaga yun kasi napunta sa kanila, kasi net touch, so kasalanan namin. Siguro yung from 1 to 24, doon kami nagkulang,” added Meneses.

Gayunpaman, ang two-time PVL champion coach, gayunpaman, ay nananatiling tiwala sa mga pagkakataon ng kanyang Cool Smashers habang naghahangad silang maging all-out upang ipadala ang serye sa isang mapagpasyang laro at manatili sa paghahanap para sa back-to-back championship sa centerpiece tournament ng liga na inorganisa ng Sports Vision.

Asahan na si Tots Carlos, Jema Galanza, Ced Domingo, Michele Gumabao at ang playmaker na si Jia de Guzman ay magsusumikap sa kanilang mga nakakasakit na laro at ang iba pa ay suportahan sila ng isang magaspang na floor defense at coverage at panatilihin ang pressure sa reigning Reinforced Conference champions.

Ngunit ang puspusang Angels ay masigasig na tapusin ang kanilang mga multi-titled na karibal sa kanilang paghaharap para sa kanilang unang All-Filipino trophy matapos maipako ang dalawang korona sa import-laced tournaments, kasama na sa finals noong nakaraang Disyembre laban sa Cignal HD Spikers.

“Sundin ang game plan, ipakita ang character, teamwork at right attitude,” sabi ni Almadro sa kanilang battle plan. Inaasahang muli niyang aasahan ang kanyang matapang na crew na binubuo nina Grethcel Soltones, Jonah Sabete, Aiza Pontillas, Remy Palma at top middle MJ Phillips at Djanel Cheng, na ang napakahusay na husay sa playmaking ay nakatulong sa pag-angkla ng sorpresang tagumpay ng Angels sa Game One.

“Pero ang pinaka-importante ay kailangan nating maging handa. Creamline is a matured, intact team,” dagdag ni Almadro, na isang panalo na lang ang layo para makuha ang kanyang unang kampeonato sa PVL. “They’re strong team, they are the Goliaths of this tournament. Kami naman, tanong lang namin kay Lord, ‘can we be the David’?”

Samantala, naghahanda rin ang F2 Logistics para sa sarili nitong best-of-three series kasama ang PLDT sa alas-4 ng hapon. habang nagpapatuloy ang Cargo Movers para sa follow-up sa kanilang 20-25, 25-22, 25-18, 25-17 tagumpay sa Game One. (CARD)
