Financial aid for students in California extended

A national briefing was conducted by the Ethnic Media Services (EMS) on February 27, 2025 to spotlight the recent extension of the state financial aid deadline to April 2, 2025 and its importance for California students while ensuring that all eligible students have equitable access to apply for financial aid and make higher education more affordable.

Dubbed Extending Access to Financial Aid – Helping California Students Succeed and in partnership with California Student Aid Commission the briefing covered critical updates on financial aid deadlines, discuss the impact of the Better Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) delays, and highlight partnerships with educational institutions to increase accessibility for underrepresented communities.

Those who spoke at the briefing moderated by EMS executive director Sandy Close were California Student Aid Commission (CSAC) Executive Director Dr. Daisy Gonzales, CSAC Chair Catalina Cifuentes, CSAC Commissioner Keiry Saravia, and University of California Associate Vice Provost for Student Financial Support Shawn Brick

Dr. Gonzales impressed on the importance of sharing that financial aid for California students is about belonging in higher education and that a deadline extension is about equity in higher education.

“The California Student Aid Commission (CSAC) is a state agency and it is responsible for administering state aid for students across all segments of public higher education that includes students pursuing associate degrees, baccalaureate degrees, graduate education, and career technical education and vocational schools,” Gonzales explained. “Our mission remains to make higher education more accessible and more affordable for California students thus offer students a key to open the door to higher education.”

Gonzales added that by completing a financial aid application, students qualify for scholarship grants, which are dollars that they do not have to pay back, work study programs and loans.

Gonzales added that students qualify for financial aid by completing either the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the California Dream Act Application (CADA) which is accessible to students, regardless of their documentation status or that of their family members, financial aid in time is what brings higher education within reach.

“We also know that right now there are a lot of mixed messages about the value of higher education what experts call the return on investment. And this has been growing since the pandemic and with increasing costs for higher education. There is also the increased fear and anxiety due to ongoing news from Washington, DC, which is informing our students and their families about their choices and their future perspective including eliminating the U.S. Department of Education, executive orders freezing federal funding and increasing immigration enforcement efforts. All these things impact all our students and families here in California,” detailed Gonzales.

CSAC Chair Cifuentes is also the executive director of College and Career Readiness in Riverside County Office of Education and serves over 420,000 K-12 students in Riverside County with 23 school districts which is larger than thirteen states in the United States and also have about over 30,000 senior high school seniors every year dealing with a very high population of students that are first generation.

“Lumina Foundation did research on twenty-five metropolitan regions in the state and Riverside County, even though we have a high number of adults living in this county, we have a very one of the lowest college-educated adult population in the United States. With that, we do have a high volume of students that are first in their family to go to college,” Cifuentes shared.

CSAC Commissioner Saravia who is in junior at California State University Northridge studying to become an English teacher to be able to go to law school and plans to become an immigration and criminal lawyer.

“I am also a first-generation student that was born and raised in Los Angeles to two immigrant parents who immigrated from El Salvador to Los Angeles and have stayed in the exact same area since the day I was born,” Saravia disclosed. “And I'm also a Cal Grant recipient. Without financial aid like the Cal Grant, I don't know if I would even be in the position I am right now. Financial aid is the biggest reason as to why I'm able to attend the CSU I'm currently at and with two younger sisters in mind to think about, it was really tough decision to figure out whether college was an option for me and whether I was ever going to be able to make it.”

Saravia admitted that because of the financial aid she was able to receive, she was able to focus on her studies and was able to put aside a lot of it to be able to go to law school and pay for some of it as well as help with a few minor basic need expenses.

Saravia laments that the biggest issue confronting students not wanting to apply for financial aid is the fact that they don't really know as they are getting a lot of misinformation about whether they will be eligible again, whether it's even feasible, whether their information is going to be safe in a very predominantly Hispanic community.

Burke, an Associate Vice Provost for Student Financial Support at the University of California, an institution dedicated to providing equitable access to higher education for all Californians talked about the deadline extension including how it plays out at University of California (UC), apart from reaffirming UC's values on inclusion and belonging and their commitment to affordable higher education and even encouraged students and families to explore all the great educational opportunities in California.

“There are lots of opportunities in the State of California and our state supports students. The University of California has moved our own financial aid priority filing deadline to match the state of California. Our websites have been updated, and our social media feeds are also announcing the extension deadline and that means that students who meet the state's deadline will also be considered for all the full range of University of California financial aid,” assured Burke.

Burke also wants to reaffirm that the University of California is committed to its values of inclusiveness and belonging as UC President Michael Drake has said and is committed to ensuring that UC campuses benefit from the talents and aspirations of all as they create a vibrant workforce for future generations.

“We also are very committed to affordability for Californians. Students and families hear a lot in the media these days about student debt and about rising tuition. But the reality is that nearly two thirds of California undergraduates last year graduated debt-free from the university,” Burke divulged.

Marcos may regret seeking a meeting with Trump

One of the jobs of any president is to meet with fellow leaders of other nations.
So it is with US President Donald Trump and Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
The two nations remain allies, and it is no secret that Mr. Marcos wants nothing more than to have an audience with POTUS 47.
The Philippine chief executive may only seek a handshake, a short chat and a photo opportunity that goes with it. But as the old saying goes, Be careful what you wish for.
That meeting could happen, but it may not go the way Marcos Jr wants.
President Trump is not one to mince words. He says what’s on his mind, even if it could hurt the feelings and sensibilities of the person he is speaking with.
He is also known to consider any country that has a drug problem as a potential enemy. Mr. Trump constantly refers to fentanyl as a danger to the US, and has been taking punitive actions against countries that he sees are likely sources of the dangerous drug.
If the US president advocates taking the toughest steps against illegal drugs, he will very likely ask Mr. Marcos what his administration has been doing to arrest the spread of illegal drugs the way his predecessor did.
It can be recalled that Mr. Trump had expressed support for former president Rodrigo Duterte, whose anti-drug war struck terror in the hearts of drug pushers.
Of course, the US cannot apply the same methods to solve its own drug problem, which Mr. Trump has repeatedly said is growing worse because fentanyl is able to cross the country’s borders with relative ease.
For the US, fentanyl is the problem. For the Philippines, it is shabu AKA the poor man’s co***ne.
If Mr. Trump perceives the Marcos regime as being soft on drugs compared to the Duterte administration, he may press Marcos on what precisely he is doing to solve the problem.
The Philippine president cannot get away with broad, generic answers that he is wont to do when he is unable to show that he understands the problem and is taking concrete steps to address them.
The implication is clear. Mr. Marcos can be seen as a weak leader, one who does not know what to prioritize.
He can even be compared to the leaders of other Asian neighbors, who have incredibly strict laws where mere possession of illegal drugs is concerned.
Countries like Indonesia and Malaysia, among others, are not averse to legally executing locals and foreigners caught with even the smallest amounts of drugs in their possession.
One thing that Mr. Trump will be thankful for is the Marcos administration allowing a greater US military presence in the Philippines as a foil to China.
But will it be enough?
His closest advisers and his immediate family should advise Mr. Marcos to consider the possible consequences of meeting with anti-drug advocate Trump. It might not go as well as he wants.
Perhaps it would be more advisable to first invite US Vice Presidente Vance to the Philippines instead?

Duterte’s family reacts to his arrest

By Beting Laygo Dolor, Editor

MANILA – He may have surrendered peacefully, but his family was still livid at how former President Rodrigo Duterte was immediately served a warrant for his arrest then detained by authorities.
For one, his partner and acting first lady during his presidency, Honeylet Avancena, said the detention of the former president was “Illegal.”
Speaking in the vernacular, Avancena said that at least President Ferdinand Marcos Jr’s father and namesake “at least officially announced the declaration of martial law.” In the case of ex-president Duterte, “no announcement was made, there was no legal assistance, there was no warrant.”
It was plain and simply a case of illegal detention, she said.
While the former president was being arrested, she was heard calling out for Senator B**g Go, who was not allowed to enter the area where Duterte was being detained.
Their daughter Veronica “Kitty” Duterte pretty much said the same thing, saying in her Instagram page that her father’s arrest was “illegal” as there was no warrant of arrest.
She also said that authorities were blocking her father from getting “the medical attention he badly needs.”
(Note: The family doctor noted that the former president’s “glucose level shot up to 328 despite [being injected with] insulin.”)
The mother and daughter were seemingly not aware that a warrant had been issued by the International Criminal Court, but it was served by Interpol with the assistance of the Philippine National Police.
Davao City Sebastian Duterte said in his page, “This is not the Philippine National Police serving a warrant since they cannot even justify their actions. This is a political maneuver of the B**gbong Marcos administration. Be prepared no matter what.”
He said allowing the arrest of his father had “the smell of desperation” on the part of the Marcos regime.
The Davao mayor also said, “It seems to me that they are trying to murder the old man.”
The former president is almost 80. He celebrates his birthday on March 28.
For her part, Vice President Sara Duterte – who arrived at the NAIA a couple of hours after her father – did not immediately give a statement. Her office said she would “address any relevant matters at the appropriate time.”
An estranged niece of the former president, Nuelle Duterte, who had been warning the public of the dangers posed by her uncle’s presidency, simply said: “I lived to see it.”
She later added: “Let him go to The Hague. That’s how justice, slow as it is, works.”

Uncertainty to follow arrest of Duterte

At the start of this week, the country was abuzz with news of the pending arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte.
There was even speculation that he was aware of his approaching arrest, which is why he had gone to HongKong. His supposed reason was to attend an event his followers in the former Crown Colony had organized to thank him for all he had done for Overseas Filipino Workers.
But suspicion was rife that he was running for his life.
As of this writing, Duterte has yet to return to the country.
The news of his coming arrest was supported by statements coming from the presidential palace that the government was prepared for any eventuality.
The Philippine National Police is supposedly preparing a 7,000-man show of force to enforce the warrant of arrest, issued by the International Criminal Court to be physically implemented by Interpol.
The government had made it clear that while it had issues with the ICC, it had no choice but to follow Interpol, where the Philippines is a member in good standing, and which has been helpful on numerous occasions in tracking down Filipino fugitives, wherever they are in the world.
A visibly weak Duterte has said many things about the ICC and his possible arrest. Initially, he said that he did not recognize the global court’s jurisdiction over him. More recently, Duterte has been saying that he is not afraid to be arrested and taken to The Hague to face trial for his alleged mass murder of suspected drug users and pushers, going all the way back to his time as Davao City mayor.
In between, he even claimed that the US was behind his pending arrest, blaming either the CIA or the FBI because he had taken an anti-US, pro-China stance during his presidency.
This was nonsense, of course.
The US has nothing to do with his case, as the ICC is a UN-sanctioned body. He will be taken to The Hague, where his trial will be held.
I suspect that Duterte will make a show of his arrest, and will ask for some favors, starting with not being handcuffed. He may even ask to fly on business class on whatever airline the ICC/Interpol will book to take him to The Netherlands.
For his sake, he should not have any of the jokers and clowns who were part of his regime to serve as his legal counsel. And he should never, ever represent himself, despite his constantly reminding everyone that he is a lawyer.
This is true, but what he does not admit is that he never won a case during his time as prosecutor.
But that will not matter. He may be represented by adequate counsel and not worry about what is sure to be a humungous legal bill.
Duterte and his family will, of course, blame the Marcos regime for the fate that befalls him. After all, B**gbong Marcos did say that his administration would adhere to the same policy of Duterte in not recognizing the ICC because the Philippines has a perfectly functioning justice system.
At that time, the Marcos and Duterte clans were tight-as-thieves political allies. The president had Digong Duterte’s daughter Sara as his vice president.
Then of course that political marriage collapsed, as had been widely expected.
That was when the Marcos regime started saying that the Philippines had “no choice” but to follow the dictates of Interpol.
So unless Duterte really does hie off to Beijing to spend the next few years – or until his dying day – he will probably head straight for Davao City to wait for Interpol agents in the company of the PNP to serve him his arrest warrant.
The question is: will his army of followers agree to see their idol treated like a common criminal? Or will they put up a semblance of a fight?
The possible scenario will be similar to what happened to Duterte’s friend and ally, Pastor Apollo Quiboloy, who was able to evade arrest for a few days until finally surrendering to authorities.
The PNP had send a large contingent to Quibiloy’s Davao property, and the show of force must have convinced him that
the police was dead serious in nabbing him.
Remember that Quiboloy said he would never be arrested, and it could only happen over his dead body.
Duterte’s camp will ask Marcos to intercede in the ex-president’s behalf, but there is little that the president can do except to ask for humane treatment for his predecessor.
Duterte will not be placed in a prison cell for ordinary criminals. In fact, he will have the best accommodations in The Hague.
In fact, even common criminals receive exceptional treatment in The Netherlands like most West European nations.
Duterte’s cell will look more like a hotel or resort room, and he will be well taken care of. Due to his old age, he will receive the best possible health care and medical treatment, and he will live extremely comfortably. No fentanyl for him, though.
As for VP Sara, she can use the arrest of her Daddy Dearest as a political tool to help her win the presidency in 2028.
For now, however, she still has her impeachment trial before the Senate to hurdle. Her camp has pleaded before the Supreme Court to stop her trial, but most legal experts say this is not likely to happen.
Sadly for her, Sara’s father will not be among her legal counsels during the trial, which may last around three months.
Her fate will be decided by the new Senate and will begin immediately after Marcos’s state-of-the-nation address at the start of the next Congress.
Under a worst-case scenario, Sara will not only be removed from the vice presidency, but will also be banned from holding any government post in the future.
This means no presidential run in 2028, of course. Which means the Dutertes will be powerless to extend any kind of assistance to their incarcerated padre de familia.
The next few weeks and months should be a most interesting time for Philippine politics.
But for Digong Duterte, unless there is an unexpected turn of events, it looks like his goose is cooked.

Food and cancer

There is no question that we are what we eat, and that some food items are inflammatory, causing all sorts of ailments among us. Inflammation, like imbalanced microbiome (“good and bad,” gut bacteria) are the initiating factors for most diseases. Foods, besides habits and behavior, have grave influences on our health and longevity.

The association between processed foods (bacon, hot dog, sausages, etc., most deli meats) and cancer has been under scrutiny for decades. Studies have “shown that consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) which are manufactured and often contain additives, preservatives, and artificial ingredients, is associated with an increased risk of several types of cancer, including breast, colorectal, and pancreatic cancer…the association may be due to the high levels of saturated fat, sugar, and sodium in UPFs, which can contribute to weight gain and inflammation, both known risk factors for cancer…additionally, UPFs contain potential carcinogens, such as titanium dioxide and nitrites.”

Various mechanisms on how UPFs increases the risk for cancer include increased inflammation, DNA damage, oxidative stress, and hormonal imbalance.

There are countless ongoing researches around the world seeking to validate and confirm these initial findings.

In the meantime, let’s abstain from eating processed foods and consume fresh meats, especially white meat (chicken, turkey, duck, pheasant, quail, etc.), healthy green leafy vegetables of various colors, some healthier nuts (walnuts, chestnuts, pistachios, pecans, pine nuts, hazelnuts, a little macadamia nuts) preferably not peanuts (could have aflatoxin and has phytic acid), almonds (lots of oxalates), cashews (raw cashews contain urushiol, a toxic agent found in poison ivy, may seep into the cooked ones). For diabetics, include all food items consumed in the total caloric count.

Measles do kill

Measles, a most contagious viral disease, is a dreaded infection. I lost a professor of mine from measles pneumonia. Children, under 5 are most at risk for severe complications, and those unvaccinated children and adults are in danger. Measles do kill.

First thought to be anti-vax, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., emphatically stated that vaccination is the most effective way to prevent measles, and that while Vitamin A in itself cannot prevent measles, it helps boost the immune system.

The World Health Organization has declared Measles eliminated from the United States in the year 2000 because of its great success in the vaccination program. Travelers from abroad continues to reintroduce the measles virus, besides others, in the USA, and anti-vaccination sentiments (due to ignorance or fake news in the social media) make the situation worse.

The US-CDC reported there were 285 cases in 2024, and the recent Measles outbreak in Texas on March 7, 2025, “is believed to have started in a rural Mennonite community in Texas with low vaccination rates.”

This highlights the vital importance of vaccines for infectious diseases, like the Flu, COVID-19, RVS, measles, and others. The mandated pre-school vaccination program has saved billions of children and adults around the world over since Edward Jenner, an English physician, introduced the first vaccine in 1796.

As I have highlighted in my upcoming book, Civil Right Versus Science, America’s Achilles Heel, vaccines in general are safe, effective, and save lives, and the anti-vax civil right protestors and the disinformation in the social media are risking the lives of millions of Americans (billions, around the world).

The FDA is recommending everyone get vaccinated with MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) vaccine, which is safe and effective. Children “get two doses: the first one at 12 to 15 months of age, and the second does at age 4 to 6. All those older children adolescents, and adults get one, or two doses of MMR if they don’t have evidence of immunity.” Those going abroad should get fully vaccinated before they travel.

Viral cases Stats

“So far this year, the CDC estimates that 5.3 million people nationwide have had the flu, and the virus has hospitalized 63,000 people, as well as contributed to 2700 deaths, including 11 children.

“Nearly 19% of influenza tests are positive, as are about 13% of tests for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and 7% of COVID tests, according to CDC data.

“Based on wastewater surveillance data, which can help predict whether viruses are expanding or receding, RSV and COVID may still be on the upswing. The CDC says COVID wastewater activity detections are “high.” (COVID-19 boosters are still highly recommended.)

“Meanwhile, norovirus rates have hit what is at least a 5-year high, with positive tests topping 22%, according to data through the end of December. Seasonal norovirus high positive test rates are typically 15% or lower.” – US-CDC.

Deadly gas detectors

Our homes are full of dangerous chemicals in the garage, kitchen, and bathrooms, like cleaning bleaches, ammonia, lye, sulfuric acid, detergents, air freshers, carpet cleaners, etc. Minimizing the use of these poisons and using natural, environmentally safe non-toxic agents, is obviously healthier.

Besides those harmful agents, smoke, fire, and killer gases (carbon monoxide, butane, propane, radon, hydrogen sulfide, etc.) are potential grave hazards to life too. There are now detector-alarms to protect us and our family. One of them is the 4-in-1 Gas and Carbon Monoxide Temp and Humidity detector-alarms from Hakinaku available on Amazon. It detects other gasses besides carbon monoxide. Just plug this life-saver in an electric outlet in the room you wish to monitor. That simple. For queries, I emailed [email protected]

Need for First Amendment protection stressed at an EMS briefing



Many were alarmed that the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution ensuring that the freedoms of speech and the press, among others are protected after a series of actions have been taken in the past weeks.



One was when reporter from the Associated Press (AP) was barred from covering the White House after AP reportedly refused to follow President Trump’s executive order renaming Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America.



Another was when KCBS, a San Francisco Bay Area radio station, became a target of an Federal Communication Commission investigation for the station’s January report on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids in San Jose.



With these development, Ethnic Media Services conducted a February 14, 2025 national briefing How Fragile is Press Freedom in America? attended by First Amendment Coalition legal director David Loy, Lawyers for Reporters at the Cyrus R. Vance Center for International Justice senior staff attorney Zach Press, and founding director of the Journalism Protection Initiative at the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism in New York City Joel Simon to discuss the challenges these actions pose to freedom of the press and also whether media and their sources are already self-censoring and legal recourse and rights for reporters and their newsrooms.



Simon who wrote in the Columbia Journalism Review that a Kash Patel confirmation as Federal Bureau of Investigation director, that eventually happened, would result to over-regulation of media divulged that in a so-called safety summit recently, participants from newsrooms, advocacy community, and legal community identified eight separate threats facing the media freedom.



Instead of discussing all eight, however, Simon chose to concentrate on two threats -- regulatory threat of which are in the first stages and the legal threat. I think we're at the beginning stages of the



“Regulatory threat is obviously being led by FCC Chairman Brandon Carr who has also announced an inquiry into the practices of National Public Radio (NPR) and Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) for the use of underwriting announcements. He's also sent a letter to Comcast, which owns MSNBC and It's been critical of Trump about a possible investigation into their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices,” expounded Simon. “Those are the opening salvo and what I anticipate will be a broad regulatory kind of threats that will probably implicate other agencies.”



Simon also mentioned that the Trump administration has already demonstrated some considerable sophistication and employed some surprising tactics thus we all should expect the unexpected.



“A couple of years ago, I participated in a project to look at emerging legal threats around the world. And one of the things we documented outside the United States with a lot of legal harassment targeting media was not related to the production of media content so not related to actual journalism, but related to other things -- tax issues, allegations of fraud, workplace practices -- those are all risk areas,” Simon noted.



Loy, for his part, expect and it won’t surprise him if the FCC continues abusing and its power as the FCC is asserting a claim that reporting the news is not in the public interest if the government doesn't like what news is being reported.



“That, as far as I know, is a clear abuse of the FCC's power The public interest doctrine traditionally applied to the FCC's power to regulate broadcast media like radio and television is a legacy of the days when the airways were deemed a scarce resource. And the Supreme Court gave the FCC a limited amount of leeway to regulate broadcast media in ways that it cannot regulate print or online or digital. But if courts follow the law as it should be, then an FCC investigation or discipline or consequence solely because it doesn't like what was reported should be thrown out of court, “Loy believes although he cannot guarantee that cases will be thrown out by the courts.



Loy stressed too that investigations alone are chilling as the process is the punishment when it comes to freedom of speech and doesn't mean to minimize the problems or the threat or the risk as the news business is still a business.



“It's not the government's business to dictate editorial standards. The First Amendment protects the right of the press to decide for itself what it will or will not report or how it will report it. What public officials do and how law enforcement operations are conducted are matters of public interest and public concern. The press has a right to report. It's done in full view in broad daylight,” Loy underscored.



Loy lamented that it is the worst kept secret that officers are rolling up on a house, an office or an apartment complex and conduct an enforcement operation be it a criminal raid or ICE operation or executing a search warrant is news of public concern that the press has a right to report on.



“Autocracy depends on acquiescence I do not believe the press or anyone should self-censor because of the fear that government will abuse its power to censor newsworthy reporting or impose consequences for newsworthy reporting. I realize there are you know there are you know There are legal limits on how one can go about reporting the news not all news gathering methods are automatically immune from legal scrutiny if one breaks into a building or hacks into a computer or bribes someone to release information that could potentially be crimes. But the First Amendment protects the right generally to report the news by lawful means,” believes Loy



Staff attorney Zachary Press stressed the importance of local news reporting on issues that matter most to his clients as these are issues that other larger news networks will not cover making local news so essential over these next four years.



“These are things that any news organization should be doing irrespective of who is occupying the White House. In order to best protect yourself and make sure that your newsroom is covered you're going to want to implement policies and practices that are uniform -- they may relate to your digital security or obtaining affordable media law insurance or media liability insurance in the event that something happens. Perhaps your news organization will be served with a third-party subpoena requesting information like reporter's notes that would ordinarily be protected from disclosure, “advised Press adding that news organization may also want to avail of resources about how journalists deal with doxing, the action or process of searching for and publishing or identifying information about a particular individual on the internet typically with malicious intent. .
