The much-awaited “Bañamos Festival| in Los Baños, Laguna, known for its deep connection to the town’s hot spring and natural heritage, will once again highlight the culture, heritage, and natural wonders of the town while also providing a significant economic boost to local merchants and artisans.

At a press conference organized by Mayor Anthony “Ton” Genuino last September 4, local organizers promised a bigger and more exciting celebration than ever before.

Festival-goers are advised to prepare to get “soaked” as the festival will be "10 times bigger" than before, as Genuino put it.

Some of the new activities visitors must anticipate include the first-ever Drone Light Show and the incorporation of a “shower parade” in the civic parade where attendees can expect a much wetter and more exhilarating experience.

Other events include the Flower and Garden show where their identity as the Science and Nature City of the Philippines by showcasing the abundant ornamental plants and flowers; Murals of Makiling a painting contest that will showcase Los Baños as a hub of culture and creativity at the Philippine High School for the Arts; and the Padyak LB Kiddie Edition where kids are encourage to join in sports specifically in cycling, and more thrilling activities.

This year’s festival also features a bustling marketplace with 50 to 60 booths set up inside the University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB) campus. Organized by a local group of online sellers, the marketplace aims to support local merchants by providing them with stalls to showcase their products even outside the Los Baños campus.

Organizers are optimistic that this initiative will significantly contribute to the local economy, targeting to increase the last years revenue of P3.5 million.

𝐀𝐍𝐔𝐍𝐒𝐈𝐘𝐎: 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐚-𝐋𝐮𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐚 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞, 𝐬𝐮𝐬𝐮𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐡𝐢𝐧

Simula Lunes, September 9, ay pansamantalang ititigil ng Philippine National Railways (PNR) ang biyahe nito mula Calamba City, Laguna papuntang Lucena City, Quezon at pabalik.

Ayon sa PNR, ito ay upang bigyang-daan ang "strengthening" ng mga embankment, riles at tulay sa nasabing ruta kasabay na rin ng tuluy-tuloy na pag-uulan sa nakalipas na mga araw.

Walang katiyakan kung kailan maibabalik ang nasabing biyahe, ngunit sinigurado ng PNR na magbibigay sila ng update sa mga commuter sa sandaling matapos ang mga isasagawang pag-aayos sa riles ng tren.

Sa kasalukuyan ay may dalawang biyahe ang PNR sa pagitan ng Calamba City at Lucena City, isa sa umaga papuntang Lucena at isa sa hapon pabalik ng Calamba.

Babae, nanganak sa gitna ng bagyo sa Burdeos

Isang babae ang inabot ng panganganak sa gitna ng pananalasa ng bagyong "Enteng" sa Burdeos, Quezon nitong September 2.

Dinala ng mga miyembro ng search and rescue team mula sa Bureau of Fire Protection gayundin ng municipal disaster risk reduction and management office (MDRRMO) ang babae sa isang ospital may isang kilometro ang layo mula sa kanyang tirahan sa Barangay Poblacion.

Tinulungan ng team ang babae sa isang stretcher at dinala siya sa mga baha na kalye patungo sa ospital.

Hindi nakadaan ang mga motorista sa mga lansangan sa town proper ng Burdeos dahil na rin sa pagbaha na dulot ng bagyo.

Sinabi ni MDRRMO chief Garner Gimenez na humingi ng tulong ang mga kamag-anak sa pamahalaang munisipyo matapos magreklamo ang babae ng pananakit sa panganganak.

Ligtas na nanganak ang babae ng isang sanggol na lalaki.

Sa isang statement, inanunsyo ni P/Lt. Col. Dennis de Guzman, hepe ng Lucena City police, ang pagkakadakip ng hindi pinangalanang suspek sa isang operasyon na isinagawa sa Barangay Sambulawan, Jaro, Leyte kamakailan.

Nakakulong na sa Lucena City PNP ang suspek na nahaharap sa kasong murder.

By now, “Climate Change” is no longer that remote a subject for scientists, advocates, and world leaders alone to figure out as when the United Nations first discussed the issue in 1972 which led to several milestone initiatives most significant of which is the forging of the Paris Agreement in 2015 that directed all countries to examine and address their national contributions to climate change. Real life – extreme weathers, massive floods, unpredictable seasons – across the globe in the recent years undoubtedly helped to splash ice on the face of the general population.

TINGNAN: Unang 'human milk hub' sa Quezon

Pinangunahan ni Quezon Governor “Doktora Helen” Tan ang pormal na pagbubukas ng kauna-unahang hospital-based Human Milk Hub sa lalawigan nitong Huwebes, August 29.

Ang naturang human milk hub ay matatagpuan sa Quezon Medical Center sa lungsod ng Lucena.

Ayon kay Governor Tan, maraming breastfeeding mother sa Quezon ang nahihirapan o hindi sapat ang napro-produce na gatas para sa kanilang sanggol kaya naman marami ang dumadayo pa sa Maynila upang magkaroon ng access ng gatas ng ina.

Ang naturang human milk hub ang magsisilbing pasilidad upang magkaroon ng access ang mga sanggol sa gatas ng ina.

Dito rin maaaring makapag-donate ang mga breastfeeding mother ng kanilang sobrang gatas.

Ang human milk hub aniya ang magsisilbing pasilidad na magbibigay-daan at magbibigay ng pagkakataon sa mga nanay na nagpapasuso na mai-donate ang kanilang labis na breastmilk.

Ang mga nais magdonate ng breastmilk ay dadaan sa screening procedure upang tiyakin kung malusog at fit na magbigay ng breastmilk.

Ang mga gatas ay iipunin sa milk hub at kapag ito ay may sapat nang dami, ito ay dadalhin sa partner na human milk bank na Batangas Medical Center upang ang mga gatas ay sumailalim sa matinding procedure ng pasteurization upang gawing ligtas at safe.

Pagkatapos ng masusing procedure, ang gatas ay ibabalik sa QMC human milk hub para maging available sa mga sanggol na nangangailangan.

Understanding ‘microtrends’

Imagine a TikTok influencer, showing her newly stained tattered denim jacket, which resulted in oddly-designed patterns.

She wakes up in the morning, checks TikTok first thing, and then, boom! The denim jacket she had shown off is now trending.

This is called a “microtrend,” a new fad among social media users.

Through the recent continuous fashion evolution, “micro-trends” are now a thing due to their fast budding and approach to people, especially Gen Zs.

This so-called trend is known for its niche appeal and short life span in the market.
The trend emphasizes the rhythm of fashion from unique to nostalgic and it has now changed into a double-edged sword for giving both opportunity and challenges to the fashion industry.

What are microtrends?

A “microtrend” is a phenomenon of accelerated fashion cycles that can be found often in social media channels.

This differs from the “macrotrends,” which affects fashion wider and for a much longer cycle.

A microtrend could either be a particular accessory or color, up to a certain style of clothing that teens get addicted to and would do anything to have their hands on the latest items.

Their fast nature could sometimes result in deeper trends as time passes by. One can say that this is a hyper-fixation of Gen Z to their definition of belongingness.
Some examples of micro trends include:

Coquette style, a type of girly aesthetic focuses on a more feminine side often associated with pink ribbons and bows, as well as lacey garments mostly popular with teenage girls.

The rise of balloon mini-skirts, a puffy balloon type of mini-skirt
Cottagecore, embraces a rural life, slow living, and serenity, mostly with a hint of romanticizing living with nature, usually with flowy long skirts, floral dresses, and cozy knits in brown and earthy tones.

Balletcore, a ballerina-inspired outfit, with soft pastels showing a feminine and simple get-up.

Gorpcore is centered on incorporating hiking-themed and mountain clothing items such as cargo pants, puffer jackets, boots, outdoor garments, and windbreakers.
If you explore TikTok, these are just some of the cores and aesthetics they come up with.

What actually are its effects?
Brands such as Shein, capitalize on this trend due to their fast production and consumption.

According to Time Magazine, “Shein’s CEO, Molly Miao has stated that each item is produced only in small numbers, between 50-100 pieces a day, before it becomes popular and is then mass-produced.”

These types of brands are getting competitive to match the trend and sell more of their products.

Unfortunately, some worry that “microtrends” can cause harm in the long run.
The website ‘good on you’ stated, “Faster production, exploitative manufacturing process, and plastic clothing are needed to keep up with the demands that micro trend created.”

This trend can result in overconsumption and textile-waste products, since this encourages consumers to buy more new items that are on trend which could harm the environment.

Usually, the products use nylon, polyester, and lycra – materials that are non-biodegradable and can last for centuries.

Sustainable approach
Some other brands are focusing on adapting the trend in a more sustainable way by highlighting quality over quantity and making timeless pieces that would stay even if the trend has faded away.

Microtrends mirror the replicating nature of contemporary fashion showing cultural shifts and the influence of digital media.

Although it creates and promotes creativity, it is always needed to maintain a well-balanced trend-driven enthusiasm when it comes to environmental responsibility as for the future of fashion as well.

TINGNAN: Diskriminasyon sa mga may tattoo?

Sa tattoo nga ba nakikita ang kalooban ng tao?

Ito ang mahigpit na pinagtatalunan sa Facebook group na "San Pedro City Province of Laguna" matapos magpost ang isang "anonymous participant" ng hiring ad para sa isang lugawan sa lungsod.

"Hiring helper [sa] lugawan. 300/day [for] 12 hrs. Pass sa may tattoo; ayoko magmukhang Bilibid un negosyo ko," ayon sa ad na nabura na mula sa grupo.

Kaagad namang umalma ang mga netizen, hindi lamang dahil sa mababang sweldo (na mas mababa pa sa minimum wage na ipinatutupad ngayon sa Calabarzon), kundi pati na rin sa tila diskriminasyon ng nagpost laban sa mga may tattoo.

Pinuna rin ng mga netizen ang tila ginawang pag-stereotype ng nagpost sa mga may tattoo na umano'y galing sa bilangguan o di kaya'y mga kriminal.

"Sa mga malalaking kumpanya nga, tinatanggap ang may tattoo," ayon sa netizen na si Jo Mntvrd Ramos.

Ito ay handog ng Lokal na Pamahalaan ng Atimonan sa pamumuno ni Mayor Ticoy Mendoza kasama ang bumubuo ng Sangguniang Bayan upang kahit sa mabilis na pagdaan ng panahon ay patuloy na isabuhay ng mga kabataan ang mga kinagisnang palaro.
