This New Year is the perfect time to turn the trash lying around your home into cash! The holiday season is the busiest time of the year for Filipinos. It is also a period wherein trash can accumulate easily as a result of various activities linked to the season’s celebrations. Knowing this, SM is encouraging Filipinos to observe responsible solid waste management as they welcome 2021 via the Trash-to-Cash recycling program. SM City Puerto Princesa calls for nearby communities to bring in their plastic bottles, scrap paper, cardboard, and cookware at the recycling market along Lacao Street, Bgy. San Miguel happening this January 8-9 from 10 AM to 2 PM. Trash-to-Cash is SM’s long-running environmental initiative aimed at educating the community to recycle, dispose of their trash properly, and earn in the process. Launched in 2007, the program is part of the company’s efforts in compliance with Republic Act No. 9003, also known as the Ecological Solid Waste Management Program.
After making hits in all digital
platforms, OPM indie folk band Ben & Ben (formerly The Benjamins) finally
release their debut album in the market in titled “Limawasa Street”, inspired
by the street name that one of their members holds dear with memories of personal comforts. Limawasa is derived
from Butuanon word “Masawa” that means light.
"We wanted the album to represent a
place of light by singing about hopeful perspectives in troubled
situations," lead singer and guitarist Paolo Guico said.

Isip”, “Maybe The Night” and “Ride Home” and was watched and stream via Spotify

tracks including collaboration with Sugarfree Vocalist Ebe Dencel and Johnoy Danoy,

“The reason we are doing Ben & Ben, the
reason in everything we do, I know it may become a showbiz answer, na we don’t
want to be popular, but what we do in Ben & Ben is really for a purpose, of
spreading messages that will put people maybe in a darker place, and bring them
somewhere ng mas maliwanag ng kunti, magbigay ng kunting kaliwanagan in
whatever way, that’s our goal in Ben & Ben, to bring lights to the lives of
people, and hopefully can be reflected in our first album Limasawa Street.” Miguel
Guico, vocals and guitar.

you believe in, no matter what religion you are, we thank God, our belief in
God, Our belief in high power is actually where we get everything, because we
believe we are a vessels of a message, our art, our songs don’t come from us,
they come from God, they come from a higher being, naniniwala kami, lahat ng

Spoliarium, an opera with libretto by Soprano Fides Cuyugan-Asensio and with music by Ryan Cayabyab was the first production I saw pertaining to the life of Juan Luna. Originally staged at the CCP in 2003 starring Robert Seña at the titular role, the opera was staged in Tribeca Performing Arts Center in New York thirteen years later. Philippine Stagers Foundation (PSF) current production of "Obra Ni Juan " was my follow-up. This original Filipino musical was written by Atty. Vince Tañada, PSF President and Artistic Director and with music by Peter Paul "Pipo" Cifra, president of UST Conservatory of Music Alumni Association Incorporated, marked as my first production I saw from PSF. Established in 2002, PSF is a professional theater company with an objective of helping the poor, elderly, sick and even the forgotten, has been consistently conducting free theater workshop in schools nationwide and continuously organizing outreach programs to various charities
