This is genuinely one of the craziest tennis highlights I’ve seen all year. The determination to stay completely horizontal and still get the ball back is unbelievable.

"yes i could"
I’m convinced that the most underrated trait in a romantic partner is that they bring peace into your life. Days are filled with enough chaos and uncertainty. Being able to come home to someone who defaults to emotional consistency, who creates a peace, is massively underrated.
Major cheat code in life: One priority per day. Not three. Not five. One. Pick the single thing that, if completed, makes the day a win regardless of what else happens.
Protect two hours for it. Most people go entire weeks without finishing anything that actually matters because everything feels equally urgent.

As a children’s rights and welfare advocate, I support Senate President Sherwin Gatchalian’s proposal to restrict social media access for children aged 16 and below.
For years, we have watched social media evolve from a tool for connection into a powerful force that shapes behavior, attention spans, self-worth, and even mental health. Children are exposed to cyberbullying, misinformation, online predators, harmful content, unrealistic standards of beauty, and algorithms specifically designed to keep them scrolling for hours.
This is no longer simply a parenting issue. It is a public health and child protection issue.
The Philippines would not be alone in taking this step.
Australia became the first country in the world to implement a nationwide ban on social media accounts for children under 16. Countries such as Norway, France, Denmark, Greece, Spain, Poland, Slovenia, Austria, Malaysia, and Indonesia have either adopted, proposed, or are actively pursuing similar restrictions for minors. Even the European Parliament has expressed support for stronger age limits and protections for children online. (Reuters)
The growing international consensus is clear: childhood should not be surrendered to algorithms.
This is not about denying young people technology. It is about giving them the opportunity to develop emotionally, socially, and mentally before being immersed in platforms designed to capture and monetize their attention.
Children need more time in classrooms than chat rooms.
More time building real friendships than chasing validation from strangers.
More time learning who they are before social media tells them who they should be.
No law will ever replace responsible parenting, but government also has a duty to protect children when the risks become too great to ignore.
Sometimes the most compassionate thing society can do is place a boundary where none currently exists.
There is something deeply troubling about a society that is quick to demand the harshest punishment for children, while celebrating convicted plunderers, tolerating corruption, and rewarding leaders who normalize violence.
Young people do not grow up in a vacuum. They learn from the values we model, the behavior we reward, and the systems we build around them. Violence rarely begins at the moment it becomes visible. It is often preceded by bullying, social isolation, neglect, untreated trauma, and countless missed opportunities for intervention.
If we want children to reject violence, then we must also be willing to examine the ways our society excuses, glorifies, and profits from it. We cannot celebrate violence among adults and expect young people to learn a different lesson.
New trailer for DreamWorks' ‘FORGOTTEN ISLAND’.
The film follows 2 best friends trapped in a mystical world but their only way of escape is to erase all their memories of each other.
In theaters on September 25.
Filipinos might have volatile tempers, but mass shootings just don't happen in the Philippines.
That’s why it’s so chilling that our first one happened today, carried out by two minors aged just 14 and 15.
It really makes you stop and think.
Has the internet brought a toxic global trend to our shores, or is something deeper breaking down in our own backyard?
Our house rule is you don't have to go to sleep if you're reading. So my 8 year old is now reading 6th grade reading level because he likes thinking that he's getting away with staying up after bedtime. Win/win.
