I really hope for Sineskwela, Mathinik, Art Angel, Batibot, and any educationally entertaining local programs that are child-friendly, to take up space again. This won't completely solve the educational crisis in the PH, but it's worth something!!
Long live Cubao, a place I’ve known as kid as my mom frequented SM Cubao, and a place where many great memories from my 20s were made. Enjoyed this piece by @philbertdy.

Hi. Some news: I’m on Capitol Hill today, where Dr. Atul Gawande just announced that @USAID will commit $10,000,000 this year to radically reduce TB in the Philippines. Together with a million dollars from our family and matching funds from the government of the Philippines, over $22,000,000 will go this year toward comprehensive care to radically reduce tuberculosis.
Over the next four years, we hope a total commitment of over $80,000,000 will allow the Department of Health to train and employ community health workers, nurses, and doctors to find cases of TB, provide curative treatment to the sick, and offer preventative care to their close contacts. We know this comprehensive Screen-Treat-Prevent strategy is the key to ending tuberculosis.
(Part of the reason we’re able to do this for the relatively low price of $80,000,000, incidentally, is because both @jnj’s bedaquiline and @danaher’s GeneXpert tests have recently become cheaper after public pressure campaigns. Activism at work!)
I believe we simply can’t end TB without these kinds of public/private partnerships. After all, that’s how we ended smallpox, radically reduced the burden of polio, and have driven down death from malaria and HIV. Public money is an essential part of fighting disease, so if you’ve ever paid a federal tax, you’re part of this story.
For too long, impoverished governments and communities have been denied the resources to offer this kind of comprehensive care, but we hope this initiative can be a blueprint and a beacon to show the world that we simply don’t have to accept a world where over a million people die every year of a curable disease. Together with USAID and an extraordinarily committed team in the Philippines, we want to show the world the path to end TB.

*Exciting news for Authors!*
Many of you may remember when I wrote last year about my worries regarding audiobook royalties (particularly for independent authors).
I’m happy to say that this stand has borne some fruit. I’ve spent this last year in contact with Audible and other audio distributors, and have pushed carefully–but forcefully–for them to step up. A few weeks ago, three key officers high in Audible’s structure flew to Dragonsteel offices and presented for us a new royalty structure they intend to offer to independent writers and smaller publishers.
