Naging emosyonal ang aktres sa muli niyang pagre-renew ng kontrata sa ABS-CBN Kapamilya.

Itinuring na numero uno ng ABS-CBN ang aktres, matapos ang hiwalayan nila ng higit sa 11 years na karelasyong si Daniel Padilla, noon Pebrero 2 muling pumirma ito ng kontrata.
“I remember in 2020, I made a promise, sinabi ko sa ABS-CBN na, “Hindi kita iiwan at nandito lang ako hanggang makabangon ka ulit.” And today, here I am, fulfilling that promise,” bigkas ni Kathryn.
Napakalaking pasasalamat niya at utang niya sa kaniyang pangalawang tahanan ng ABS-CBN ito ay naging daan para matupad ang lahat ng kaniyang mga pangarap.

Sinabi pa ng aktress na hindi niya ito kakayanin ang makatulog ng payapa sa gabi kung lilisanin o ililigwak na laman niya ang mga taong naging kaagap niya at nakasama at sa mga naniwala sa kaniyang kakayahan.

High road to tollways integration: Two options available for motorists
Mark July 1, 2024 on your calendar since this day signals the unification of RFID cards currently in use by tollways in Luzon. It means that only a single RFID card will activate and hoist the bar as the tollway operators will go cash-less at the same time for a seamless travel system.
The so-called “Toll Collection Inter-Operability” has begun its test run, with only selected vehicles taking part Wednesday last week in the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX), South Luzon Expressway (SLEX), Skyway, Manila-Cavite Expressway (Cavitex) and Cavite-Laguna Expressway Calax).
Once the “inter-operability” system is completed and put in place, motorists are given two options, according to the Toll Regulatory Board. One, they can get a new account and a new RFID sticker or, choose which of the Easytrip or Autosweep electronic stickers to retain and use.
Easytrip belongs to the group under the control of Manuel V. Pangilinan while Autosweep is operated by San Miguel Corporation led by Ramon S. Ang, president and chief executive officer.
These two business titans having envisioned the unified tollways system a few years ago, are pushing for it to reach perfection. Let’s hope no one throws a monkey wrench into this noble plan.
Geometry C EV: Geely has the right angle
Trumpeting the Monday launch of its new electric car as “a paradigm shift”, Geely Philippines hosted an event at its North Edsa showroom that also ushered the arrival of Naoyuki Takeda as new president and CEO of Geely’s corporate vehicle, Sojitz G Auto Philippines.
In his inaugural address, Takeda spelled out a plan that could breach the conventional boundaries of the automotive industry. “Our commitment goes beyond words; it’s evident in the actions we’re taking, the changes we’re making, and the improvements we’re implementing.”
With Takeda behind the steering wheel, Geely is angling for a definitive role not only “as auto providers but also as contributors to the dreams and aspirations of individuals seeking a better and more fulfilling life through their vehicle.”
Furthermore, Takeda pledged to strive for a 5-star customer experience as his top priority.
Emphasizing the value of media partnerships, he encouraged motoring journalists to actively engage, saying that “your insights are invaluable, and your feedback is crucial“.
Geely said the unveiling of the Geometry C compact crossover signified its continued evolution and contribution to a sustainable and aspirational future.
Geometry C EV runs on a 70-kWh battery pack that has a range of up to 485 kilometers. Propelled by an electric motor that churns out 200-horsepower maximum and 310-Nm of torque, the EV is rated capable of speeding up from 0 to 100 km/h in just seven seconds. Its speed tops off at 150-km/h. This promises to be another awesome EV that should spark fierce competition in its segment, provided it is priced reasonably.
‘Taralets Pinas’ rolls out : Mitsubishi turns 60
Like hitting the proverbial “two birds with one stone,” Mitsubishi Motors has launched a nationwide campaign celebrating the Filipino spirit of adventure and its 60th anniversary as well.
The double- barreled move, Mitsubishi says, is a way to promote the “Instagram-able” tourist spots and at the same time crow about the features of its vehicles that have given it the top 2 ranking, next only to Toyota in terms of sales nationwide.
By this time, the TARALETS PINAS campaign shall have rolled out in certain provinces — Bacolod, Guimaras, Iloilo, Pampanga, South Cotabato, Davao, Cebu, Kalinga, Baguio, Bontoc, Siquijor.
With every episode showcasing the rich and colorful heritage and culture of each province, motoring enthusiasts are invited to make their journey better and more exhilarating with — what else, but – Mitsubishi autos.
Backstopping the campaign is an interactive website which features helpful information on destinations, road trip itineraries, and food trip tips. Motorists, their families and friends will do well to share their travel stories, experiences, and photos. MMTC President & CEO Takeshi Hara said during the campaign launch, “We encourage Filipinos to pack their bags, fuel up their Mitsubishi vehicles, and embark on their own TARALETS PINAS adventure. We can’t wait to see the amazing places you’ll visit and the incredible experiences you’ll create with Mitsubishi Motors.” This should be a tantalizing challenge for motorists to take up.

FFW-Visayas Local Unions Join Legal Challenge to ‘Indecent’ Constitutional Proposal
Iloilo City — In a conference in Tigbauan, Province of Iloilo, the Federation of Free Workers (FFW)-Visayas local unions and affiliate have announced their readiness to join forces with FFW, other labor groups in the Nagkaisa Labor Coalition, Church-Labor Conference and other like-minded organizations in a legal battle in court and in the parliament of the streets to block the charter change proposal using the ‘people’s initiative’.
The FFW-Visayas Unions are planning to join FFW National Initiative to file a petition, before the COMELEC or Supreme Court, challenging the legality of the proposed tinkering to insert “joint voting” through a people’s initiative (PI) as it is a substantial alteration or a revision of the fundamental law of the land.
Lambino vs COMELEC and COMELEC itself in its Resolution 10650 prohibited PI to include substantial change.
The FFW Visayas signed the “Manifesto of the FFW-Visayas Against Charter Change” today.
Warie Espada, union president of the Lopez Sugar Central-FFW Chapter, asserted, “our priority now is our strong advocacy for a legislated P150 wage hike, across the board, nationwide, towards living wage — indi kami sa CHACHA.”
“This decision was deliberated during the FFW’s regional meeting in the Visayas, indicating a united front from the local unions and chapters in the Visayas,” FFW Vice President for Visayas Tiffany Ong said.
Ms. Ong, who is also the union president of the Iloilo Mission Hospital Employees Union-FFW, asserted, “we staunchly oppose the proposed amendment via people’s initiative, it is an ‘indecent proposal’.
This tinkering that aims to enable joint voting between the Senate and the House of Representatives to modify the nation’s supreme law is a revision. Such will result to a substantial or structural change of the balance of power between both Chambers– the House of Representatives would overwhelm the Senate by numerical superiority in the deliberation and voting process.
Echoing Justice Antonio Carpio’s views, FFW contends that the people’s initiative mechanism should be limited to straightforward amendments but in prohibits substantial change that amounts to revisions.
Significantly shifts in the balance of power between the legislative chambers, require a more thorough and considered approach through a deliberative body.
Ma. Victoria Bellosillo, FFW Women Network President, added, “we acknowlege that we need constitutional reforms but charter change (chacha) is not the workers’ priority now”.
“Wala rin ito sa 5-year plan ng NEDA — thus, instead of allocating P28 billion for this CHACHA, can’t we redirect the funds to ‘TANGO’ – trabaho, ayuda, negosyo, gawing oportunidad para sa obrero?”, humorously quipped Bellosillo who is also the union president of the Central Philippines University Rank and File Labor Union-FFW.
NEDA said that Charter Change requires P28 billion from proposal to its ratification or rejection.
Bellosillo explained that this substantial amount could be more effectively used for job creation, providing assistance to the unemployed, and offering training and skills development to enhance employability.
“Additionally, it could serve as additional income if allocated to worker’s livelihood or funding for MSMEs and small entrepreneurs, rapidly benefiting workers and small business owners”, added Espada who is also the Chairperson of the Food, Beverages and Agriculture Industry Trade Federation (TF-1) of FFW.

Echo at Kim, kumpirmadong hiwalay na!
Kapwa naitago nina Jericho Rosales at Kim Jones ang tunay na score sa kanilang pagsasama bilang mag-asawa.
All this time pala, hiwalay na pala sila, mga ilang taon na!
Kim and Jericho, they were married on May 1, 2019 .
Limang taon na halos silang magkahiwalay pagkatapos ng apat na taong pagsasama nila.
Ayon sa may-ari ng isang eyewear shop at ninong rin nila sa kasal na isinuwalat ito ni Ricco Ocampo.
But unlike most if not all showbiz marriages, hindi naging bitter ang paghihiwalay nina Echo at Kim.
“Mutual decision at amicable agreement” daw nangyaring separation sa kanila.
It was gathered na kapwa binigyan nina Echo at Kim ang isa’t isa ng kalayaan para mag-grow sa kung saanmang direksyon ang nais nila.
Despite their breakup, nananatili pa ring magkaibigan ang former showbiz couple.
For Echo’s part, matatandaang panay ang iwas nitong sagutin ang mga tanong na may kaugnayan sa kanila ni Kim.
“I am under no obligation to explain anything,” prangkang standard answer ng aktor.
Kapwa masaya naman ang dalawa as they look back sa kanilang nakaraan.
Nakilala ni Echo si Kim sa pamamagitan ng misis ni Dominic Ochoa.
It was a date which at first ay inayawan ni Echo until he saw Kim’s photo.
Kim was born to a Filipino mother and a British father.
Tuloy pa rin ang creative collab nila with Echo as the producer and Kim as the writer, director and star of a film!

Suzuki 5-door Jimny lands in local shores
Last November and December, there were few photos circulating over social media of car carrier trucks in the country’s expressways transporting the 5-door model of the Suzuki Jimny, which caused speculation as to when Suzuki Philippines will introduce the model in the country.
That speculated ended after Suzuki Philippines formally sent to members of the motoring media an invite to launch the 5-door Jimny on January 25, 2024 at The Cove, Okada Manila.
“The Jimny, deeply rooted in a rich heritage, stands as a testament to Suzuki’s commitment to excellence. Its popularity is not just a testament to its past glory but a promise of exciting journeys ahead,” he explained.
For his part, Norihide Takei, the Director and General Manager for Automobile Division of Suzuki Philippines, emphasized that the Jimny is as a lightweight, compact, authentic off-road vehicle capable of conquering diverse terrains.
“Get ready for an incredible journey and experience the beauty of places yet undiscovered that Nobody But Jimny can bring you,” Takei added.
EXTERIOR
When it comes to length, the 5-door model is 13 inches or 340 mm longer than the 3-door model.
The Jimny 5-door has a sturdy square body that not only conveys off-road capability and durability but also contributes to the driver’s situational awareness.
The upright A-pillars and flat clamshell bonnet improve visibility through the front windshield, while the dipped lines of the driver and passenger windows extend visibility from the side.
The 5-door also model boasts chrome accents on the front grille, a distinctive feature that accentuates the grille’s unique 5-slot design. Additionally, features such as the signature round headlamps and 15-inch dark-metallic alloy wheels further enhance the overall robust exterior styling.
INTERIOR
The 5-door Jimny avoids unnecessary colors or decorations in its interior to minimize distractions, allowing the driver to focus on navigating the vehicle. Horizontal lines on the instrument panel and vertical lines in the meter cluster and center console panels assist the driver in gauging the vehicle’s angle, especially in challenging terrains such as rough or mountainous terrains.
Its rear seats have undergone enhancements, featuring thicker seat cushions to provide better seating posture and comfortably accommodate two adults.
The extended wheelbase of the 5-door model has resulted in an expanded luggage area. Although the luggage box from the 3-door model has been removed, the lowered floor height and increased depth of the luggage area now offer a spacious 211 liters of luggage capacity (with the rear seatback raised).
Similar to the 3-door model, the luggage area in the 5-door model comes equipped with an accessory socket.
SAFETY
Safety is paramount in the Jimny 5-door GLX variant, featuring SRS front airbags for both the driver and seat passengers, as well as side airbag and curtain airbags for occupants in both the front and rear seats. Additionally, the vehicle is equipped with a reverse parking camera and sensors to enhance overall safety awareness.
PERFORMANCE
The Jimny 5-door features a powerful 1.5-liter engine, tuned for off-roading adventures. With a 340 mm longer wheelbase than the 3-door model, it maintains crucial off-roading features— ALLGRIP PRO, a sturdy ladder frame, exceptional approach, breakover, and departure angles, 3-link rigid axle suspension with coil spring and part-time 4WD with low-range transfer gear. Built for authentic off-road ruggedness and agile maneuverability, it serves as the ideal companion for global adventurers and wilderness professionals.
The New Jimny 5-door offers monotone color options for the GL and GLX variants, including Jungle Green, Celestial Blue Pearl Metallic, Arctic White Pearl, and Granite Gray Metallic. The GLX Two-Tone variant, on the other hand, is available in Sizzling Red Metallic – Bluish Black Pearl and Chiffon Ivory Metallic – Bluish Black Pearl.
The New Jimny 5-door is available in all Suzuki Auto Dealerships nationwide with the following suggested retail prices: GL MT – P1.558 million; GLX AT – P1.698 million; GLX AT – P1.708 million.

Spiced up with the new crate, the collaboration will be active between January 15 and February 19.
French heavy cruisers and German alternate destroyers join the full ship roster
The arrival of Tier VIII F. Schultz for German destroyers, and Brest for French cruisers, signifies the availability of these alternative branches of the tech tree to all players.

Sun Life Foundation launches urban gardening initiative to combat undernutrition among students
The Sun Life Foundation recently launched an urban gardening program at Comembo Elementary School as part of the Tulong Eskwela project, an initiative in partnership with AHA Learning Center that provides quality education to student-beneficiaries.
The urban garden aims to support the school’s feeding program to help combat undernourishment among the students. It also aims to encourage parents to start the practice at home.
“Aside from providing opportunities to learn, we also want to look after the welfare and holistic health of our student-beneficiaries,” Sun Life Foundation Executive Director Kristine Millete said. “This initiative can help provide them with more sustenance in a more sustainable way.”
During the launch, Comembo Elementary School also hosted “Palarong Pinoy” where students, teachers, and parent-leaders played traditional Filipino games together with Millete and Sun Life executives, including Sun Life Philippines CEO & Country Head and Sun Life Foundation Chairman Benedict Sison, Sun Life Foundation President Alex Narciso, and other members of the Sun Life Philippine Leadership Team. Sun Life Global President & CEO Kevin Strain, who was also in town from Canada, made sure to join the launch and festivities as well.
Meanwhile, the students, parent-leaders, and teachers received gift packs just in time for the holiday season. The event culminated with a scrumptious boodle fight feast.
Tulong Eskwela is a flagship education program of AHA Learning Center. The Sun Life Foundation partnered with AHA Learning Center in 2020 to support teachers, students, and parents pivot towards distance and hybrid learning setup during the pandemic. Since its launch, it has aided thousands of beneficiaries and has helped ease the challenges of learning in a post-pandemic environment.

JG Summit builds up with petrochemical plant expansion
While stock market analysts have yet to comment on the positive impact of the expansion of the petrochemicals manufacturing complex of JG Summit Olefins Corporation (JGSOC) on the revenues of JG Summit Holdings, it cannot be denied that the expansion move will produce positive bottom line results over the long term.
This, as President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. said during the inauguration of the expansion of JGSOC’s facility in Batangas on January 19, 2024 that the project would generate about P215 billion and 6,200 jobs in 2025.
“It is an upstream industry that feeds many enterprises and supplies many other manufacturing concerns. It is among the lynchpins of our industrialization, a vital link in moving up the value chain, and guarantees the supply of a critical production ingredient,” he said.
