Fish and vegetable vendor, elected as mayor in Eastern Samar

A market vendor of fish and vegetables was elected the new mayor of Dolores, Eastern Samar.

Rodrigo “Onoy” Rivera, 62, defeated his mayoral opponent Dr.  Zaldy Carpeso, brother of the incumbent mayor in the area.

Rivera's only vote lead was 562. He got 11,508 votes, while Dr.  Zaldy had 10,946 votes.

Rivera then served as barangay chairman for nine years in Gap-ang in Dolores.  He reached second year of high school.

When his term ended in 2010, Rivera sold fish and vegetables at the market.

Rivera's opponent is a political family but he was not discouraged to run as an independent candidate.

Despite the lack of funds, he was enthusiastic in his campaign, assisted by volunteers. He won the hearts of the residents because of his aspirations.

"Direkta akong nakikipag-usap sa mga tao. Inihain ko ang aking sarili sa kanila na isa ring mahirap. Inilatag ko ang aking mga plataporma para sa mga mahihirap na tulad ko,” Rivera said in a speech.

Full face-to-face classes sa lahat ng eskwelahan, ipapatupad na ng DepEd

Umaasa ang Department of Education (DepEd) na magiging face-to-face na ang mga klase sa lahat ng eskwelahan sa susunod na school year.

Magbibigay ng iba't ibang plano ang regional offices tungkol sa paraan ng klase depende sa magiging pagsusuri at rekomendasyon ng Department of Health at local government units sa bawat lugar.

“So, right now, ang sinasabi ko 73.28 percent na ng public schools at saka meron ding tayong mga private schools na inu-urge natin, ine-encourage natin na bumalik na sila sa face-to-face,” ayon kay outgoing secretary Leonor Briones sa Laging Handa public briefing.

“By June, which is already a few days away from now, sa next academic school year, ini-expect natin na fully 100% na talaga 'yung pag-implement natin ng face-to-face classes,” dagdag niya.

Samantala, pabor din naman ang DOH sa panukalang ibalik na ang mga estudyante sa face-to-face learning.

“Face-to-face attendance in school will allow children to develop their cognitive and social skills experientially,” ayon naman sa DOH.

“F2F promotes physical and mental health and well-being.  This is based on the latest scientific evidence,” dagdag ng ahensya.

Monkeypox outbreak growing around the world, not as contagious as COVID-19

Monkeypox is a virus that can cause symptoms including fever, aches and presents with a distinctive bumpy rash or lesions.

The rash usually begins within one to three days after the onset of fever.

Lesions can be flat or slightly raised, filled with clear or yellowish fluid, and can then crust, dry up, and fall off, according to World Health Organization (WHO).

The incubation of the disease can range from five to 21 days.

Experts believe the current monkeypox outbreak is being spread through close, intimate skin on skin contact with someone who has an active rash. That should make its spread easier to contain.

It is related to smallpox, but is usually milder. Most people fully recover in two to four weeks, according to health officials. The virus is not as easily transmitted as the SARS-CoV-2 virus that spurred the global COVID-19 pandemic.

Meanwhile, Philippines continues to monitor the outbreak of monkeypox overseas but the closure of borders is still unlikely.

The Department of Health (DOH) said there was no case yet of monkeypox detected in the Philippines but assured the public that it has intensified border control to avoid the entry of the disease in the country.

Kwento ni Mariel Larsen sa episode ng "Dapat Alam Mo" ang kanyang karanasan sa pagtatrabaho bilang isang Pinay fruit picker sa Australia.

"Ang pamimitas ay good charm. Kung ilan ang napitas mo ay doon po kayo binabayaran," ayon kay Mariel.

Iba't ibang mga prutas ang pinipitas nila doon, kabilang ang mga mansanas, mandarin o orange, lemon, cherry at blueberry.

"Very physical ang pamimitas. I feel like I climbed in the mountain every day, sa sobrang sakit ng katawan ko, legs, parang ayoko nang magtrabaho the next day," dagdag niya.

"Pagdating sa trabaho, gender doesn't matter. Sobra akong proud na makikita ko na, kung makakapitas pala 'yung lalaki, uy kaya ko rin. Sobra akong proud na kaya kong magawa kung anong magagawa nila sa pamimitas," dagdag pa ni Mariel. 

Dahil na rin sa magandang kita sa kaniyang trabaho, natutulungan ni Mariel ang kaniyang pamilya sa Siargao. (Larawan: Mariel Larsin)

BBM's promise of P20 per kilo of rice, possible– NEDA

The promise of president-elect Bongbong Marcos Jr.  of P20 per kilo of rice is possible if farmers receive proper support according to the National Economic Development Authority (NEDA).

NEDA Secretary Karl Kendrick Chua said BBM's plan to lower the price of rice to P20 per kilo is possible. This can be done, Chua said, under the Rice Tariffication Law.

“Under Rice Tariffication, the programs are expected to increase the yield per hectare from four metric tons to five or six metric tons, so that is possible actually,” Chua said.

Chua added that it is necessary to support rice production through targeted subsidies for farmers and this will not be possible if the said law is repealed.

Chua also stated that the next administration needs to continue fiscal policy, economic reforms and programs under the Duterte administration.

Just like the programs that should be continued are the tax reform program, rice tariffication, Build Build Build and many more that boosts the Philippine economy.

Chua said the economic team is ready to discuss with the new administration to lay out what else should and should not be done for economic growth.

Sara Duterte: PH needs Filipinos advocating peace and discipline, pushes for mandatory military service

Vice President - elect Sara Duterte-Carpio will push for mandatory military service for Filipinos aged 18 years old, she will be the secretary of Department of Education (DepEd) soon.

"Presumptive president and I once again talked about how I could help the country. It was decided that I would work on producing skilled learners with the mindset to realize their full potential as individuals,” Duterte-Carpio said.

"Our country needs a future generation of patriotic Filipinos that advocate peace and discipline in their respective communities," she added.

She explained that her proposal is not like the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps — that her father, President Rodrigo Duterte also wanted to be revived but did not materialize — as a mandatory subject, nor would it be a month-long training or for weekends.

Duterte is an Army reservist, said she plans to use the vice president’s office to urge Congress to pass a military conscription law, similar to policies in South Korea and Israel.

She wants mandatory military service for all citizens reaching the age of 18, and it should include disaster-preparedness training.

Filipino fruit picker in Canada, earns up to P100k per month

By picking strawberry and cucumber fruits on a farm in Canada, a Filipino worker there earns the equivalent of P25,000 per week or P100,000 per month.

OFW Albert Frederich Logo shared his life and work as a fruit picker in Canada. He is working as OFW for 5 years which started in Taiwan.

“Mga limang taon na akong OFW, pero nag-start muna ako sa Taiwan.

"Nahikayat akong magpunta dito kasi balita ko, maganda nga raw dito sa Canada,” Logo shared to Unang Hirit.

He moved to Canada because of a friend who told her that life was better there.

"At alam niyo, mukhang hindi ako nagkamali," said Lago who has now been working in Canada for more than a year.

Lago is currently staying in a bunkhouse in Canada where there are two rooms for six persons each.

OFW who used to earn P10k a month in the Philippines, now earn P10k a day in New Zealand

P10,000 per month was the former salary in the Philippines , now, an Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) working as an insulation installer in New Zealand earns about P10,000 a day.

Mindoro native Darryl Ebora, 35, said he has visited four countries in his six years as an OFW. Currently, Ebora is in New Zealand and working as an insulation installer and team leader.

Ebora enters ceilings and under floors of houses to put insulation so that cold and heat do not enter.

On a typical day, they insulate three houses, and they work for four hours each or 12 hours. It is said that Ebora's income is not less than 5,000 New Zealand dollars or P180,000 per month.

Even if the income is high, the job poses an associated risk to his health and safety. As protection, Ebora needs to wear a protective suit that is warm to the body, mask and gloves.

Although he also worked as an insulation installer in another country he went to, in New Zealand Ebora is said to have experienced the most hardship.
