(ABS-CBN) MANILA — One year can change everything.

For Alex Eala, it meant climbing from No. 75 to a career-high No. 18, breaking barriers no Filipino tennis player had reached before and giving Filipinos another sporting hero to rally behind.

Eala looked back on her whirlwind year during her appearance on CBS Mornings on Tuesday, Sept. 8, reflecting on a journey that has taken her from watching tennis’ biggest stars on television to sharing the Grand Slam stage with them.

“Being around these amazing peers that I have and sharing the stage with people I’ve looked up to, even Coco [Gauff], even though she’s just a year older than me, I grew up alongside her kind of watching her on TV,” Eala said… Read More

(MB) Artillery troops trained to fire weapons are now being taught how to save lives on the battlefield as the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and United States Armed Forces conducted a Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) training at Daniel Z. Romualdez Airport in Tacloban City, Leyte.
The three-day activity, which concluded on Wednesday, April 22, was part of the 41st iteration of Exercise Balikatan, the annual joint military exercise between the AFP and US military, that has expanded in recent years to include humanitarian and lifesaving components alongside combat drills.
The AFP said the training brought together personnel from the Artillery Regiment of the Philippine Army and their counterparts from the United States Army, where soldiers more known for operating heavy weapons shifted focus to emergency care under fire.
The training “focused on enhancing lifesaving skills in combat environments, equipping troops with critical competencies to respond effectively to battlefield medical emergencies,” said Major Al Anthony Pueblas, chief of Balikatan’s combined joint information bureau (CJIB).
“The activity underscores a shared priority to ensure the protection and preservation of human life in all aspects of military operations,” he added… Read More

(GMA) Motorists should expect another sigh of relief as pump prices of diesel could be slashed again next week, its third straight week of rollback since the series of global oil price shocks due to the Middle East conflict rocked the local fuel market.

Citing estimates based on Mean of Platts Singapore (MOPS) trading and foreign exchange averages in the past four days, an oil industry source said the per liter prices of diesel could be reduced by P8.00 to P10.00.

Gasoline prices, however, are seen to have no movement or a possible increase of P1.00 per liter.

The local oil industry uses MOPS as the basis for fuel retail prices in the country. It is the average of daily price assessments for refined petroleum products (like gasoline and diesel) traded in Singapore, which acts as the regional hub for Asian oil trading… Read More
