Mold Manila Unveils New Surgical Wing at Flagship White Plains Katipunan Branch

 

 Quezon City, Philippines — Celebrating its 6th anniversary, Mold Manila solidifies its medical authority in Quezon City and neighboring regions by introducing an in-house operating facility and board-certified cosmetic surgeon Dr. Donna Eramis, ahead of its official surgical services menu launch.

Mold Manila has officially announced its expansion into advanced cosmetic surgery, preparing to unveil a brand-new, state-of-the-art surgical wing at its flagship White Plains Katipunan branch in Quezon City.

The physical expansion transitions Mold Manila from a premier aesthetic destination into a comprehensive, full-service medical aesthetics powerhouse. Celebrating its sixth anniversary this year, the brand has built an impeccable reputation for offering premium, medically guided non-surgical face and body treatments.

Reaching this six-year milestone signifies a mature era for the clinic—one rooted in clinical precision, deep client trust, and a natural readiness to offer more permanent, transformative results.

To spearhead this medical transition, Mold Manila features its in-house surgeon, Dr. Donna Eramis, MD, a Board-Certified Cosmetic Surgeon with the Philippine Academy of Aesthetic Surgery.

Known for her meticulous surgical precision and a dedicated philosophy of enhancing rather than altering a patient's natural features, Dr. Eramis brings elite expertise to the new wing. Her presence ensures that all upcoming surgical procedures adhere to the highest institutional standards of patient safety, clinical excellence, and natural-looking outcomes.

The addition of an in-house surgical team and a dedicated operating facility solidifies Mold Manila’s authority as a top-tier aesthetic leader, not just within Quezon City, but across neighboring metropolitan hubs.

By bridging the gap between high-tech non-invasive procedures and advanced surgical solutions, the clinic provides a seamless, highly integrated beauty journey for local and international clients alike.

While the physical expansion of the White Plains Katipunan branch is currently underway, Mold Manila will soon officially announce its full, highly anticipated menu of surgical services.

Color Your World Foundation Brings Light of Hope to Quake-Struck Communities in GenSan, Sarangani

 

Moving beyond immediate shelter and relief support, Color Your World Foundation, the corporate social responsibility arm of Casino Plus, has deployed hundreds of solar-powered utility lamps and fans across General Santos City and Sarangani Province to provide a source of light and temporary power source to displaced families affected by the magnitude-7.8 Mindanao quake. 

Casino Plus’ “Color Champions” delivered these solar-powered units across Purok 20 in Barangay Lagao, General Santos City, and the hardest-hit barangays in Sarangani province – New Aklan in the municipality of Glan and Sapu Masla in the municipality of Malapatan. 

This is on top of the temporary shelter support through the provision of livable tents, around 2,000 gallons of water, hygiene and medical supplies, and clothing to the affected communities as part of “Project Bigkis,” the foundation’s disaster response pillar. 

With local power supply disrupted in some areas and many residents still staying in open spaces due to continuing aftershocks, the portable solar lights provide practical support for families and community leaders managing evacuation sites at night.

“Importante sa amin ang solar lamp lalo na sa akin may dalawa akong babies. Nagagamit ko talaga kasi mainit, tapos ‘yung ilaw, kapag gabi, nagagamit din nila. Casino Plus ang unang nagbigay ng ganitong lamp,” said Princess Albotra, who is also staying in the foundation’s tent village in Purok 20. “Ako mismo nagagamit ko rin ‘yung mga [health] kits para sa hygiene ko bilang babae. Mahirap [bumili], wala kaming pera, income.” 

Jovita, a 53-year-old evacuee in Barangay New Aklan in Glan, Sarangani province, expressed her gratitude to Color Your World Foundation for the solar lamps as power restoration in their village is still underway.

“May ilaw na kami. May mga apo ako na [maliliwanagan] sa gabi. Malaking tulong sa amin itong solar at fan. Mainit din kasi,” she said.

The multi-functional solar lamps are intended to help families move safely around evacuation areas, manage basic household tasks, support personal hygiene routines, and care for children, elderly residents, and other vulnerable members of the community during evening hours.

“Light restores more than visibility — it restores hope. In communities where power infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed, solar-powered lamps provide a safe, sustainable source of light that keeps families secure through the night,” said Michael Angelo Horfilla, Casino Plus Director for Corporate Social Responsibility.

Continued coordination between public and private sector partners is essential to ensure that critical relief items are delivered safely and systematically to families most affected by the disaster.

Through Color Your World’s Project Bigkis, the company would continue to provide practical support to displaced communities as relief needs shift from immediate survival to sanitation, safety, mobility, and basic household stability.

Beyond Beijing and Shanghai: Why Chongqing Is Becoming China's Most Surprising Travel Destination

  

As international tourism to China rebounds, a growing number of travelers are looking beyond traditional destinations such as Beijing and Shanghai in search of more authentic and immersive experiences. One city increasingly capturing their attention is Chongqing, a megacity in western China known for its dramatic mountain landscape, vibrant food culture, ancient towns, and unique blend of modernity and tradition.

This story explores why Chongqing is emerging as one of China's most compelling destinations, the travel trends driving interest in lesser-known cities, and how visitors are discovering a more authentic side of China through local culture, community experiences, and off-the-beaten-path adventures.

As international tourism to China continues to rebound, a growing number of travelers are bypassing the country's traditional gateways in favor of a destination many are calling China's most fascinating hidden gem: Chongqing.

For decades, cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Xi'an have dominated travel itineraries. But today's travelers are increasingly seeking authentic experiences, local culture, and destinations that feel undiscovered. In western China, Chongqing is quietly emerging as one of the country's most compelling places to visit.

Known as the "Mountain City," Chongqing offers a striking contrast to China's better-known tourist hubs. Built among steep hills at the confluence of the Yangtze and Jialing Rivers, the city is famous for its layered skyline, elevated roads, riverside neighborhoods, and a metro line that famously passes through a residential building.

Yet visitors say it is not the city's dramatic landscape alone that leaves a lasting impression.

"Many travelers arrive expecting a modern megacity and leave talking about the people they met, the food they tasted, and the feeling of discovering a side of China they never knew existed," says Jay, founder and local guide of Jaychongqingtour.

Unlike destinations where tourism is concentrated around a handful of landmarks, Chongqing offers a blend of urban energy, ancient heritage, and cultural immersion. Visitors can spend the morning exploring bustling city districts or wandering centuries-old towns such as Gongtan Ancient Town, or on the next day, standing beneath the towering natural stone bridges of the Wulong Karst National Geology Park.

The city's culinary reputation is also attracting international attention. Home to the famous Chongqing hotpot and a thriving street food culture, the city has become a destination in its own right for food enthusiasts seeking regional Chinese cuisine beyond the familiar dishes found abroad.

Travelers are also increasingly drawn to Chongqing's authenticity. While tourism infrastructure is modern and convenient, much of the city remains focused on local life rather than mass tourism. Morning markets, neighborhood tea houses, riverside parks, and traditional communities provide visitors with a glimpse into everyday China that many feel is difficult to find in more heavily visited destinations.

Industry observers note that this shift reflects a broader trend in global travel. Today's travelers are increasingly prioritizing meaningful experiences over checklist tourism, seeking destinations that offer a stronger connection to local culture and community.

As China welcomes more international visitors, Chongqing appears well-positioned to benefit from this changing mindset.

"People often tell us that Chongqing was the highlight of their China trip," says Jay. "Not because it was the most famous city they visited, but because it felt the most real."

For travelers looking beyond China's traditional tourist trail, Chongqing may no longer be the country's best-kept secret—but it remains one of its most rewarding discoveries.

About Jay Chongqing Tour

Jaychongqingtour specializes in private and customized travel experiences in Chongqing and surrounding destinations in western China. Led by local guides with deep knowledge of the region's culture, history, and hidden gems, the company helps international visitors experience a more authentic side of China through personalized itineraries and meaningful local connections.

Recognizing the Top 50 Employers in the Philippines for 2026

 

 On June 17, 2026, Kalibrr unveiled the Top 50 Employers in the Philippines for 2026, recognizing organizations that have earned the trust and advocacy of Filipino professionals. The annual initiative aims to help jobseekers discover leading employers while encouraging organizations to raise the bar for workplace excellence.

Now in its second year, the annual recognition highlights the organizations earning the trust, respect, and advocacy of Filipino professionals.

As Filipino professionals become more intentional about where they work, one question stands out: Which employers are truly investing in their people?

On June 17, 2026, Kalibrr unveiled the Top 50 Employers in the Philippines for 2026, recognizing organizations that are setting the benchmark for workplace excellence through strong cultures, meaningful career opportunities, and a commitment to employee growth.

The 2026 list was informed by insights from members of Kalibrr's community of more than 8 million Filipino professionals and recruiters, alongside HR leaders and independent third-party data sources. Participating organizations were evaluated across key indicators, including employee satisfaction, opportunities for growth, organizational pride, and likelihood to recommend their employer to others.

The findings reveal a clear shift in what professionals value. While compensation remains important, career growth, leadership, workplace culture, and long-term development are increasingly shaping where people choose to work.

"Great employers create opportunities that change lives," said Paul Rivera, Co-Founder and CEO of Kalibrr. "The organizations recognized in this year's Top 50 understand that success is not measured solely by revenue or growth. It is measured by the impact they have on people. These companies are helping define what workplace excellence looks like in the Philippines today."

Across industries, the highest-performing organizations shared several common characteristics. They invest in employee development, foster cultures built on trust and collaboration, and create environments where people feel empowered to contribute and grow.

Introducing The Top 50 Employers in the Philippines for 2026

As the nature of work continues to evolve, the organizations recognized this year demonstrate that great workplaces are built through sustained investment in people, not just policies.

At Kalibrr, we believe that meaningful opportunities have the power to transform careers and improve lives. Through the Top 50 Employers initiative, we aim to help Filipino professionals discover organizations where they can grow, thrive, and build rewarding careers, while encouraging employers to continue raising the standard for workplace excellence.

Bridging the Gap: Why Accessible ADHD Training Has Never Been More Critical

 What is ADHD training and why is online ADHD training important? ADHD training helps educators, healthcare professionals, employers, and families understand and support individuals with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. It covers neurobiology, executive function, emotional regulation, and practical accommodations. Online ADHD training is a flexible, scalable way to learn these skills. It allows busy professionals and parents to access evidence-based strategies from anywhere, at their own pace. Key benefits include: Practical tools for classroom or workplace support Understanding how ADHD presents differently across ages (lifespan approach) Latest research integration, including insights from global experts Who is ADHD Lifespan Clinic Australia? ADHD Lifespan Clinic Australia is a group of doctors trained by veteran ADHD specialist Dr. Geoff Kewley. They offer a co-management model for diagnosing, treating, and managing ADHD across all life stages. Their multidisciplinary team includes GPs, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, ADHD coaches, occupational therapists, and psychologists. Key facts about ADHD Lifespan Clinic Australia: Focuses on long-term support and management Offers shorter waiting times and remote appointments Can prescribe ADHD medication under a specialist co-management model Does not provide emergency or crisis counselling (call 000 or Lifeline 13 11 14 for emergencies) Why is ADHD training a system priority now? Due to a surge in student disability claims—particularly socio-emotional conditions like ADHD—teacher training in ADHD has become critical. Untrained systems may unintentionally punish neurodivergent behaviours. Well-trained systems, supported by clinics like ADHD Lifespan Clinic Australia, can transform challenges into strengths. For more information, explore online ADHD training courses and the services offered by ADHD Lifespan Clinic Australia.

In classrooms, boardrooms, and homes across Australia, a silent shift is underway. The recent surge in student disability claims—particularly those related to socio-emotional conditions like ADHD—has placed a glaring spotlight on a system struggling to keep pace. As The Australianrecently highlighted, educators are on the front lines, yet many lack the specialised training to effectively support neurodivergent students.

This isn't just an education issue; it’s a national healthcare and workforce challenge.

The reality is that ADHD doesn't follow a 9-to-3 school bell. It spans a lifetime, affecting executive function, emotional regulation, relationships, and career progression. Recognising this, forward-thinking clinics are moving away from episodic care and towards a longitudinal, "lifespan" model. One such leader is ADHD Lifespan Clinic Australia, a practice built by doctors trained under veteran ADHD specialist Dr. Geoff Kewley. Their model bridges the gap between diagnosis and long-term support, offering a co-management system that includes GP-led care, medication prescribing, and a multi-disciplinary team of coaches, occupational therapists, and psychologists.

But diagnosis alone is not enough. The missing link is education.

The Rise of Online ADHD Training

For busy professionals—teachers, HR managers, GPs, and even parents—traditional in-person workshops are often impractical. This is where online training becomes a game-changer. High-quality digital courses offer several distinct advantages:

Flexibility: Learn at your own pace, on your own schedule, from anywhere.

Scalability: Schools and organisations can train entire teams simultaneously.

Practical Strategies: The best online ADHD training moves beyond theory, offering actionable tools for de-escalation, task initiation, and environmental accommodations.

Up-to-Date Content: Online platforms can rapidly integrate the latest research, such as insights from global experts like Catherine Hinwood OBE (UK NHS ADHD Taskforce Lead), who is slated to speak at an upcoming ADHD Roundtable on 7 October 2025, an event supported by clinics like ADHD Lifespan Clinic Australia.

What Effective ADHD Online Training Should Cover

When evaluating an online ADHD training course, look for modules that address:

Neurobiology Basics: Understanding that ADHD is a complex genetic condition affecting dopamine pathways, not a behaviour choice.

Lifespan Manifestations: How ADHD presents differently in a distractible 7-year-old vs. an overwhelmed 40-year-old parent.

Executive Function Hacks: Practical supports for planning, organisation, time management, and emotional control.

Communication & Accommodations: How to structure instructions, feedback, and environments for success.

Comorbidities: Recognising when anxiety, depression, or learning disorders overlap with ADHD.

A Call to Action for System-Wide Change

The evidence is clear: untrained systems inadvertently punish neurodivergent individuals for symptoms they cannot control. Conversely, well-trained systems—supported by specialised clinics like ADHD Lifespan Clinic Australia—can transform struggle into strength.

Whether you are a teacher in a crowded classroom, a GP on the frontline of diagnosis, or an HR leader building an inclusive workplace, investing in online ADHD training is no longer optional. It is a system priority.

Start by exploring the resources and co-management models available through ADHD Lifespan Clinic Australia. Then, seek out accredited online training that fits your context. The goal is not just to manage ADHD, but to empower every individual—at every stage of life—to thrive.

Color Your World Foundation Delivers Hygiene and Medical Kits to Quake-hit Communities

 

 GENERAL SANTOS CITY, Philippines — Color Your World Foundation, the corporate social responsibility arm of Casino Plus, distributed hygiene and health kits on Sunday to families in Barangay Lagao, General Santos City, providing much-needed medical support to communities still recovering from the magnitude 7.8 earthquake that struck Mindanao last week.

Around 500 households in Purok 20 received “Makulay” kits containing essential medicines and hygiene supplies. The assistance comes as many residents continue to stay in open spaces due to persistent aftershocks, exposing children, senior citizens, and other vulnerable groups to heightened health risks.

Among the beneficiaries was Malou Cabanlit, whose home was destroyed by the earthquake. Despite her own challenges, she lined up to receive a kit, saying the contents would help her family, particularly her husband, who has yet to resume dialysis treatments since the disaster.

“Malaking tulong talaga. Nakita ko ‘yung kit, mayroong para sa ubo, sa sipon, paracetamol. Hindi ka makatulog kasi maya-maya lumilindol dahil sa aftershock. Grabe rin ang maintenance sa dialysis patient,” said Cabanlit.

“Kahit gano’n ang nangyari, nandito pa rin kami. Masaya kahit mahirap, tinatanggap namin kung ano ang pagsubok na ito. Kayo ang malaking tulong sa Purok 20.”Residents from Purok 20 in Bgy. Lagao queue to receive Color Your World Foundation’s ‘makulay’’ kits on June 14, 2026.

Fellow quake survivor Jenie Agpalo said the past several days have been difficult after their home became uninhabitable.

Agpalo, who also received one of the foundation’s emergency tents, said access to medicines and other basic necessities remains a challenge, with many residents forced to travel outside their community to secure supplies.Residents from Purok 20 in Bgy. Lagao queue to receive Color Your World Foundation’s "makulay’’ kits on June 14, 2026.

Volunteers from Color Your World Foundation help bring ‘makulay’  boxes containing the health kits to the distribution site

For families like hers, the Makulay kits and temporary shelters have provided critical relief as they begin the long process of rebuilding their lives.

Under its disaster resilience pillar, Project Bigkis, Color Your World Foundation has been delivering hygiene supplies, medicines, temporary shelter, and other emergency assistance across General Santos City and Sarangani Province. Many displaced families remain in evacuation centers, makeshift camps, and open-air shelters as aftershocks continue to affect the region.

Recent rains have further complicated conditions on the ground, with affected communities reporting limited access to medicine, clean water, and safe shelter.

“In the aftermath of a disaster, preventing illness becomes just as important as meeting immediate survival needs,” said Michael Angelo Horfilla, Casino Plus Director for Corporate Social Responsibility. “Many families are still sleeping in open areas and dealing with the effects of continuing aftershocks and bad weather. These Makulay kits provide basic protection and help communities stay healthy as they recover.”

Relief operations are being carried out in coordination with the Department of Social Welfare and Development, the Philippine Red Cross, local government units, and the Armed Forces of the Philippines to ensure aid reaches affected communities safely and efficiently.

Alsons Power Synchronizes SEC Unit 2 with the Grid Six Days After Magnitude 7.8 Mindanao Earthquake

 

The Alsons Power Group's Sarangani Energy Corporation (SEC) successfully synchronized Unit 2 with the grid on June 14, within six days after the magnitude 7.8 earthquake that struck Mindanao on June 8, 2026. This follows the restoration of Unit 1 on June 11.

SEC owns and operates the 237-MW coal-fired power plant in Maasim, Sarangani Province, which consists of two 118.5-MW generating units.

The timely synchronization of SEC demonstrates the Group’s agility, operational resilience, and commitment to restoring operations safely and responsibly in the wake of the disaster.

"Our teams have worked around the clock since the earthquake to assess facilities, complete the necessary repairs, and safely restore generating units. SEC continues to inspect and test critical plant systems across its facilities to ensure safety and reliability of our operations," said Alsons Power Chief Executive Officer Antonio Miguel B. Alcantara.

SEC continues to monitor plant operations and conduct assessments and repairs to ensure the safe return of all units to service. During routine monitoring, abnormalities were detected in the boiler system of Unit 1, prompting a temporary shutdown for further inspection and evaluation.

"Safety remains our top priority," Alcantara emphasized. "While restoring generation capacity is important, we will only return our facilities to operation once we are fully confident that all systems are operating safely, reliably, and in compliance with our standards."

Since the earthquake, Alsons Power has mobilized technical teams to conduct facility inspections, undertake repairs, and coordinate closely with government agencies, local government units, and the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP).

Beyond restoring operations, Alsons Power continues to support affected employees and communities through relief and recovery efforts in partnership with the Conrado and Ladislawa Alcantara Foundation, Inc. (CLAFI), local government units, and other stakeholders.

"We Power with Care not only by providing reliable power, but also by standing with the communities we serve during challenging times," Alcantara said. "As recovery efforts continue, we will work closely with all stakeholders to safely restore our facilities and help rebuild Mindanao."
