May 57 Aplikante kalahok para sa PVL Rookie Draft sa Novotel Hotel, PVL on tour isasagawa sa Probinsya
Lahat ay handa na para sa ikalawang Premier Volleyball League draft sa kabila ng banta na hindi makakapaglaro si rookie Alohi Robins-Hardy para sa ibang mga koponan kung hindi sa Farm Fresh ang kanyang karapatan sa paglalaro.
Sinabi ng Tagapangulo ng PVL Control Committee na si Sherwin Malonzo na mas malalaki at mas atletikong mga manlalaro ang binubuo ng klase ng draft ngayong taon na may kabuuang 57 aplikante na pupunta sa event sa Novotel Hotel sa Araneta Center.
Ibinahagi ni Malonzo sa Philippine Sportswriters Association Forum na 25 sa mga rookie prospects ay nagmula sa UAAP, 15 mula sa NCAA, pitong banyagang manlalaro, at ang natitira ay nagmula sa iba’t ibang panig ng bansa tulad ng Tarlac at Baguio.
“Mas malalaki at mas malalakas ang mga players so maraming pagpi-pilian ngayon yung teams. I think, especially yung top four picks, they’ll be able to beef up their lineups with these new, really good players,” said Malonzo at the conference hall of the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex.
Si Robins-Hardy, ang 29-taong-gulang na Fil-Am setter mula sa Hawaii, ay kabilang sa mga inaasahang mataas na mapipili sa draft, kahit na gumawa siya ng opisyal na pahayag na hindi siya maglalaro para sa ibang mga koponan na pipili sa kanya maliban sa Farm Fresh. Sinabi ng Pangulo ng PVL na si Ricky Palou na malinaw na hindi ito katanggap-tanggap sa liga.
“Hindi namin papayagan iyon. Hindi siya maaaring pumili ng koponan na nais niyang salihan. Kailangan niyang dumaan sa draft,” diin ni Palou, na kasama si Malonzo sa parehong Forum na inihanda ng San Miguel Corporation, Philippine Sports Commission, Philippine Olympic Committee, MILO, Smart/PLDT, at ArenaPlus, ang 24/7 sports app ng bansa.
Idinagdag ni Palou na tiyak na mapaparusahan si Robins-Hardy ng PVL kung siya ay tumangging maglaro para sa koponan na nagkamit ng kanyang karapatan sa paglalaro.”Magkakaroon ng mga parusa. Hindi pa namin napag-usapan ang mga parusang ipapataw namin sa mga manlalaro na lalabag sa patakarang ito,” sinabi ng dating manlalaro mula sa Ateneo at San Miguel. “Kapag sumali ka sa draft at may kumuha sa iyo, kailangan mong maglaro para sa koponang iyon o hindi ka maglalaro sa lahat.”
Ang Farm Fresh ay pumipili sa no. 3 nang kabuuan sa unang round sa likod ng Capital 1 Solar at Galeries Tower, habang sa no. 4 ay ang Nxled. Ang lahat ng apat na koponan ay dumaan sa lottery upang matukoy ang kanilang mga pagkakasunod-sunod ng pagpili.
Pipili naman sa no. 5 ang Zus Coffee na susundan ng Cignal, Choco Mucho, Cherry Tiggo, PLDT, Akari, Petro Gazz, at Creamline.
Nitong nakaraang linggo, isinagawa ng PVL ang kinakailangang dalawang araw na Draft Combine sa Paco Arena na nagbigay daan sa mga koponan na masilip ang mga rookie players na magiging available para sa draft. “Ang draft na ito ay magiging talagang interesante dahil mapapabuti nito ang antas ng kakayahan at kompetitiveness ng lahat ng mga koponan.
Sigurado ako na ang mga mas mababang ranggo na koponan noon ay magagawang palakasin ang kanilang lineup sa mga bagong manlalaro na ito, at makakapag-kumpitensya sila ng maayos laban sa iba pang mga nangungunang koponan,” ayon kay Palou.
Pagkatapos ng draft, magkakaroon ang liga ng PVL On Tour na gaganapin sa labas ng Maynila, at pagkatapos ay magkakaroon ng pahinga sa Setyembre upang bigyang daan ang pag-host at pakikilahok ng bansa sa FIVB Men’s Volleyball World Championship. Pagkatapos ng pandaigdigang pagtutulungan, magpapatuloy ang PVL sa kanyang Reinforced Conference, ang pangatlo at huli para sa season.

In a bid to revitalize the onion industry and uplift the livelihood of farmers in Occidental Mindoro, the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) is spearheading a series of interconnected science and technology-based interventions aimed at strengthening the entire agricultural value chain—from production and processing to market access.
Local farmers have long struggled with challenges such as market saturation, the influx of imported onions, and inadequate post-harvest infrastructure—issues that have resulted in substantial financial losses during peak harvest seasons. In response, the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), through its regional office in MIMAROPA and affiliated programs, is implementing targeted interventions to boost farm productivity, minimize post-harvest losses, and enhance market access. During a recent visit to Occidental Mindoro, DOST-MIMAROPA officials inspected key initiatives that reflect their commitment to inclusive rural development through science and technology.
These include the onion processing facility at Occidental Mindoro State College (OMSC) – Murtha Campus, the Smart Drip Irrigation System deployed in onion farms in San Jose, and the centralized weaving center for the Ina Buhid indigenous women in Bato-Ili, Monte Claro—all of which aim to improve the livelihoods of farming communities and indigenous groups by blending innovation with cultural preservation.
In addition, DOST officials visited four SETUP-assisted beneficiaries to assess their progress and identify opportunities for further support and innovation. These enterprises included the OMSC Food Processing Center cum Onion Processing Facility, which utilizes upgraded technologies to enhance the production of value-added onion products; Ufudan mga Ina Buhid sa Aligon Gamat, a women-led indigenous group preserving traditional weaving practices while generating income through handicrafts; Tawaraw Salt Producers, a local community enterprise engaged in the sustainable production and processing of salt; and Alpha Palay Trading & Rice Mill, which has improved its rice milling operations through technology interventions aimed at increasing efficiency and product quality.
One of the core technologies introduced is the Smart Drip Irrigation System under the Smart and Sustainable Communities Program. This system enables efficient water use, minimizes waste, and boosts crop yields—key components for climate-resilient agriculture.
To complement this, DOST has redeployed essential post-harvest equipment through its Small Enterprise Technology Upgrading Program (SETUP), including a cabinet dryer and stainless steel tables, now installed at the OMSC – College of Agriculture’s Food Processing Center in Murtha Campus.
In line with the growing emphasis on value-added production, the facility is being expanded with a dedicated Onion Processing Facility, backed by a ₱10 million grant from the Department of Agriculture. The upgraded facility will house advanced equipment such as a freeze dryer and water retort, further enhancing OMSC’s capability to support both education and local agribusiness development.
To help farmers maximize available technologies, DOST-MIMAROPA, through its Provincial Science and Technology Office (PSTO), has conducted training on low-cost post-harvest techniques using locally available materials, teaching practical methods such as sun-drying, blending, and heat application. One standout product from these efforts is onion-based ice cream—an innovative creation that highlights the potential of crop diversification and value-added processing to generate new income streams and extend shelf life. Complementing these agricultural initiatives, DOST-MIMAROPA also supports cultural preservation and economic empowerment through the centralized weaving center of the Ina Buhid women, which provides livelihood opportunities while sustaining traditional handloom weaving practices.
Bridging the gap between innovation and commercialization, DOST has partnered with Lazada Philippines to help micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and farmer cooperatives expand their reach in the digital marketplace, giving locally developed products greater visibility and access to broader consumer bases. In addition, DOST continues to collaborate with the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) and other key stakeholders to promote inclusive supply chains and scalable agri-technologies that enhance the competitiveness of farmers, strengthen local enterprises, and ensure wider benefits for consumers.
These initiatives reflect DOST’s broader mission of transforming rural economies through inclusive innovation. By investing in R&D, enabling technology transfer, and fostering strategic partnerships, the agency is building a resilient onion ecosystem in Occidental Mindoro—one that sets a model for sustainable agricultural development nationwide.(Nelson Santos)
Amid circulating misinformation about its operations and ownership status, Dakak Beach Resort has clarified that it remains fully operational, not for sale, and is in fact expanding its offerings while opening doors for new business collaborations.
A household name in Philippine tourism, Dakak continues to stand as one of Mindanao’s premier destinations. With its sweeping white sand beaches, lush landscapes, and luxurious accommodations that feature uniquely Filipino designs — including bamboo-crafted rooms and capiz-shell windows — Dakak offers an immersive and serene escape for both local and international guests.
Recently, a Supreme Court ruling caused some public confusion after it ordered the resort to vacate a 1,602-square-meter property in Barangay Taguilon, Dapitan City. However, the legal dispute — which dates back several years — pertains only to less than 1% of the resort’s 156-hectare property and does not involve any areas accessed by guests. Resort management has filed a motion for reconsideration and stressed that operations remain unaffected.
In a public address, Dakak President Svetlana J. de Leon shared that the resort has not only weathered pandemic-era challenges, but is also now focused on innovation, tourism recovery, and strategic partnerships. Inspired by earlier business collaborations in areas like Tagoloan and Siquijor, Dakak is actively exploring tie-ups that promote sustainable tourism and enhance the overall visitor experience.
Over the years, Dakak has evolved beyond being just a beach resort. It now houses nine dining venues, a 24-hour café, multiple swimming pools (including a waterfall-fed children’s pool), water sports facilities, and the Dakak Adventure Zone, home to the longest dual zipline in the country. A highlight of the resort is its world-class golf course, considered one of the most beautiful and scenic in the Philippines. The course’s coastal views, well-manicured fairways, and championship-level design make it a destination in itself for golf lovers. Paired with the resort’s top-notch amenities, it offers a complete package of relaxation and recreation.
For those seeking a truly elevated experience, Dakak also offers helicopter tours aboard the Robinson R-44 chopper, allowing guests to explore Dapitan’s coastline and nearby islands from above.
Adding to the resort’s appeal is its strategic location. Just a 30-minute drive from Dipolog Airport, Dakak serves as the perfect jump-off point to explore Dapitan’s rich cultural and natural heritage. Visitors can walk through time with landmarks like the Relief Map of Mindanao, the Rizal Shrine, and the Spanish-era seat of government, as well as heritage houses that offer a glimpse into the city’s storied past. Nature lovers can venture into the area’s many caves, waterfalls, and mountain trails, making it a haven for hikers and adventurers.
Despite legal noise surrounding a small land parcel, the message from Dakak is clear: the resort is not only fully operational but actively growing. It remains committed to Filipino hospitality, innovation, and tourism excellence — and welcomes both travelers and future partners to take part in the next chapter of its story.(Nelson Santos)
Energy efficiency in the Philippines has evolved from a regulatory requirement into a national movement, driven by data, empowered by innovation, and sustained through collaboration. This transformation represents a significant step forward in the country’s pursuit of a low-carbon, energy-secure future, where every watt saved contributes to inclusive and sustainable economic growth. Green financing is an essential driver at the heart of this shift, transforming goals into tangible action. By harnessing innovative financial tools such as green bonds, energy service contracts, and performance-based incentives, industries, communities, and local governments are empowered to translate policy objectives into real-world implementation.
This agenda took center stage at the opening of the inaugural Philippine Conference on Energy Efficiency and Conservation (PCEEC) 2025, held yesterday at the Makati Diamond Residences. The event’s theme, “Advancing EEC through Green Financing and Artificial Intelligence,” highlights the dual roles of sustainable finance and emerging technologies in accelerating energy efficiency and conservation (EEC) across sectors.
Energy Undersecretary Felix William B. Fuentebella stated in his keynote address that “The evolution of energy efficiency from compliance to a culture of conscious consumption reflects our national commitment to sustainability.” He added that it’s about being wiser and smarter about energy use, and to achieve this, complicated financing mechanisms are being simplified to drive innovation and enable inclusive participation.
Artificial intelligence (AI) was showcased as a game-changing tool for enhancing energy performance. AI enables organizations to optimize consumption, reduce costs, and minimize their carbon footprints through predictive maintenance, real-time energy monitoring, and intelligent building automation.
Green finance is no longer limited to physical infrastructure upgrades; it can also fuel research and development, enable digitalization, support capacity-building, and foster the adoption of smart systems. These aspects are essential for making energy efficiency efforts scalable, impactful, and self-sustaining.
The DOE continues to strengthen enabling policy and regulatory frameworks to de-risk investments, attract a broader range of stakeholders, and mainstream energy efficiency as a strategic pillar of the country’s energy transition and climate action goals under the Philippine Energy Plan. Through PCEEC 2025, the DOE aims to build strong public-private partnerships, engage financing institutions, and mobilize collective action. The Department calls on all sectors to view energy efficiency not only as a responsibility but also as an opportunity for national transformation.
By unlocking the power of green financing and artificial intelligence, the Philippines is demonstrating that sustainability is a collective journey powered by every decision to use energy more wisely. (DOE)

Pinangunahan ni Senadora Loren Legarda, ang tagapagtaguyod at visionary ng proyektong nagluklok sa Pilipinas bilang Guest of Honour (GOH) sa Frankfurter Buchmesse 2025, ang pagtanggap sa mga delegado ng German media para sa isang linggong paglalakbay at paglilibot sa iba’t ibang bahagi ng bansa.
Ang pagbisitang ito ay bahagi ng opisyal na pangako ng Pilipinas bilang GOH sa pinakamalaki at pinakaimpluwensyal na book fair sa buong mundo. Nilalayon ng programang ito na mas palalimin ang ugnayan sa pandaigdigang media at ipakita ang lawak at lalim ng panitikan, pamana, at malikhaing kultura ng Pilipinas.
“Mula sa karunungang katutubo, sa alaala ng kolonyalismo, sa hiwaga ng kalikasan, at sa pakikipag-usap sa buong mundo, doon nagmumula ang ating panitikan,” ani Legarda.
“Ang Frankfurter Buchmesse ay isang pandaigdigang entablado kung saan maririnig, makikita, at mauunawaan ang ating mga manunulat, ilustrador, tagasalin, at tagapaglathala.”
Naranasan ng delegasyon ng Aleman ang Filipino hospitality mula sa makulay na Pahiyas Festival sa Lucban hanggang sa mga programang pangkultura at panitikan sa Bulacan, Baguio, La Union, Iloilo, Antique, at Boracay. Bumisita rin sila sa mga eksibit at sentrong pangkultura gaya ng Hibla ng Lahing Filipino textile gallery, mga sentro ng paghahabi, at mga pasilidad para sa cotton processing na naitatag sa pamamagitan ng mga programang pangkultura ni Legarda.
“Matagal nang bukas ang Alemanya sa panitikan ng Pilipinas,” wika ni Legarda.
“Noong 1887, inilimbag sa Berlin ni Dr. Jose Rizal, ang ating pambansang bayani, ang kanyang pinakamahalagang akda, ang Noli Me Tangere, na nagsindi ng unang rebolusyong anti-kolonyal sa Timog-Silangang Asya.”
Sa pamamagitan ng mga talakayan at interaksyon sa mga manunulat, tagapaglathala, indigenous artisans, at cultural workers ng Pilipinas, nasaksihan ng delegasyon ang masigla at sari-saring puwersang bumubuo sa matatag at malikhaing pagka-Pilipino.
Gaganapin ang Frankfurter Buchmesse mula Oktubre 15 hanggang 19, 2025, sa Frankfurt, Germany, kung saan ang Pilipinas ang magiging Guest of Honour, isang natatanging pagkakataon para sa pagpapalawak ng merkado, pagbebenta ng karapatang pampaglilimbag, pagsasalin sa iba’t ibang wika, at cross-media adaptations.
Camp BGen Pantaleon Garcia, Imus City, Cavite — Nakiisa ang Cavite Police Provincial Office, sa pamumuno ng Acting Provincial Director na si PCol Dwight E Alegre, sa Simultaneous Operation Baklas na inilunsad ng Police Regional Office CALABARZON ngayong araw, Mayo 20, 2025.
Isinagawa ang sabayang pagtanggal ng mga campaign posters, streamers, at iba pang election-related materials na ilegal na nakapaskil sa iba’t ibang lugar sa lalawigan ng Cavite, katuwang ang mga City at Municipal Police Stations sa kanilang mga Area of Responsibility (AOR).
Ang aktibidad ay isinagaw bilang suporta sa kampanya ng PNP upang ipatupad ang mga batas at regulasyon ukol sa election propaganda materials, at bilang paghahanda na rin sa nalalapit na tag-ulan sa pamamagitan ng clean-up drive.
“Ang Operation Baklas ay hindi lamang para sa pagpapanatili ng kaayusan sa panahon ng eleksyon. Isa rin itong hakbang tungo sa kalinisan at kahandaan ng ating mga komunidad laban sa mga panganib ng pagbaha,” pahayag ni PCOL Alegre.
Nagpapatuloy ang Cavite PNP sa pagtugon sa direktiba ng PRO CALABARZON at ng pambansang pamunuan ng PNP upang matiyak ang mapayapa, maayos, at malinis na eleksyon sa buong lalawigan.
