November 9, 2026November 9, 2026carlocarrasco

This past Friday, the Christmas season in Alabang was ushered in by Festival Mall with a lot of excitement during the annual Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony which unveiled a giant Christmas tree presented in partnership with POP MART.

The event officially launched “The Magic of Christmas” celebration in Alabang and in attendance were top officials of the City Government of Muntinlupa, Filinvest executives, Festival Mall itself and many other invited guests.

The mall’s strategic partner POP MART is global designer toy company that connects artists and fans through collectibles and immersive experiences.

I myself attended the Christmas tree lighting ceremony which was organized with a lot of excitement and it executed a fresh creative spin on the holiday tradition. Seated at front row were Muntinlupa City Mayor Ruffy Biazon, Vice Mayor Stephanie “Phanie” Galan Teves-Wong, Filinvest Hospitality Corporation CEO Francis Gotianun and Festival Mall General Manager Yvette Dizon. Near me were Donna Santiago of South Snippets, some local business owners, bloggers, vloggers and members of the press. Unsurprisingly, there were a lot of spectators who viewed the ceremony.

“The reason why we celebrate Christmas is Jesus Christ. And for that, there should be enough reasons for us to celebrate and be happy and thankful,” Mayor Biazon said when he delivered his remarks. “The message we would like to share to the people is that we should be thankful. Whether it is small or large we receive, we have to be grateful for the blessings we receive from God.”

“At Festival Mall, we always wanted to be more than just a shopping destination. We want to be a place for families and friends who come together enjoying new experiences, celebrate special occasions, or simply spend quality time with each other. What better time to celebrate than Christmas? This year, we are bringing to you the unboxing of the magic of Christmas made even more exciting in partnership with POP MART,” Filinvest Hospitality Corporation CEO Francis Gotianun said.

Vice Mayor Teves-Wong also delivered her remarks.

After the important words shared by the special guests, a short stage presentation was held telling a short story about Christmas emphasizing the suspense and mystery that come with receiving gifts during the season.

After that, the exciting countdown and formal lighting of the giant Christmas tree happened, and you can watch the short clip by clicking https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1EtLcyw1m6/

A meet-and-greet with Santa Claus followed and several children (who were from the City Government and its Social Services Department and others from the Down Syndrome Association of the Philippines) received gifts one by one. The invited guests were treated with a Christmas buffet and free-flowing drinks.

Festival Mall’s legacy of Christmas and giving – Festival Mall, which first opened in May 1998 and remains a strong shopping and lifestyle destination in South Metro Manila, is the flagship of Filinvest Malls, the retail business unit of Filinvest Land, Inc. Its Christmas celebration carries the mother brand’s message of community and connection into a place where families and friends come together to shop, dine, and spend time with one another. The partnership with POP MART for the November 6 Christmas tree lighting ceremony placed character-based creativity at the center of Festival Mall’s Christmas story.

Along the way, the mall held its 3rd Season of Sharing in partnership with the City Government of Muntinlupa and its Social Services Department. Several children endorsed by the City Government were welcomed at Festival Mall for a special day of fun that includes arcade gaming, amusement rides, meals and the receiving of Christmas gifts. The sharing reflected the mall’s commitment to being an active and caring community partner. Festival Mall hopes to share not only gifts but also meaningful experiences and memories, reminding everyone that the spirit of Christmas is also about extending kindness and making others feel valued.

“For me, if we can make even one child smile, give someone a reason to feel happy, or make a family’s Christmas a little more special, then we’ve already done something meaningful,” said General Manager Yvette Dizon.

Christmas experience this year – For the 2026 Christmas season, Festival Mall is reviving Rhythm & Lights 4 on December 12 which is a Christmas musical celebration in a festive gathering. The said event will give shoppers and visitors a new opportunity to come together and enjoy the season through live performances.

With its Christmas tree as a meeting point with shopping, dining, and leisure experiences around it, Festival Mall is inviting visitors to make their next holiday gathering part of “The Magic of Christmas” at Filinvest Malls.

In ending this post, I want to point to what Mayor Biazon said about Jesus being the reason we celebrate Christmas. Lord Jesus is the hope of ALL nations. To learn more about the Him and His eternal holiness, I encourage you all to grab the Holy Bible and read the following references: Isaiah 9:6, John 3:16, John 6:26-40, Matthew 2:1-2, John 5:19-23 and John 8:12. This Christmas, always be thankful to those who gifted you and also to the Lord. Honor and thank Him for all the blessings and happiness you received.

Las Piñas City Government to Bring Vaccines to Public Schools

October 16, 2026October 14, 2026carlocarrasco

Recently in the City of Las Piñas, a school-based vaccination drive was launched and the City Government confirmed it will bring immunization vaccines straight to the public schools, according to a Manila Bulletin news report. Mayor April Aguilar attended the launch which was attended by a few hundred local students.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from Manila Bulletin report. Some parts in boldface…

Nearly 300 pupils joined the launch of a school-based vaccination drive in Las Piñas City as the local government seeks to protect children against vaccine-preventable diseases.

Mayor April Aguilar said the Bakuna Eskwela 2026 program will bring immunization services directly to public schools, making it easier for eligible students to receive free vaccines without having to visit health facilities separately.

The vaccination drive was launched at Las Piñas Elementary School Central, with activities scheduled to continue in public schools across the city from October to December.

The program covers vaccines against measles, rubella, tetanus, and diphtheria, as well as human papillomavirus (HPV), which can cause certain types of cancer.

Aguilar said bringing vaccination services into schools provides a convenient way for children to access protection against preventable illnesses, while helping parents ensure their children receive the recommended immunizations.

The City Health Office, in coordination with the Department of Health-Metro Manila Center for Health Development and the Schools Division Office of Las Piñas, is implementing the program with the assistance of school administrators and health workers.

City health personnel and school officials are encouraging eligible students to participate in the vaccination drive.

Let me end this piece by asking you readers: If you are a resident of Las Piñas City, are you thankful to the City Government for the direct distribution of vaccines to public schools? Did many young students in your local community attend the vaccination drive?

Bahay Pag-asa Muntinlupa City Established

September 15, 2026September 10, 2026carlocarrasco

Recently in the City of Muntinlupa, Mayor Ruffy Biazon signed into law a key ordinance which formally established the Bahay Paga-asa Muntinlupa City, according to a Manila Bulletin news report. The Bahay Pag-asa Muntinlupa City is a 24-hour institution for the rehabilitation of children who are in conflict with the law.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the Manila Bulletin news report. Some parts in boldface…

Mayor Ruffy Biazon signed an ordinance establishing the Bahay Pag-asa Muntinlupa City, a 24-hour institution for the rehabilitation of children in conflict with the law (CICL).

Muntinlupa Ordinance 2026-133, passed by the City Council, institutionalizes the Bahay Pag-asa Muntinlupa City as a juvenile justice welfare and rehabilitation center, setting the system, protocols, and management of the facility.

Under the local law, the center will be managed by the city government’s Social Services Department (SSD), providing short-term residential care and rehabilitation for CICL who are awaiting court disposition of their cases or transfer to other agencies or jurisdictions.

The facility will also offer rehabilitation services “under a structured therapeutic environment with the end view of reintegrating them into their families and communities as socially functioning individuals.”

Physical mobility of residents may be restricted pending resolution of their court cases.

Under Muntinlupa Ordinance 2024-280, or the City Child Protection Policy Ordinance, Bahay Pag-asa is mandated to formulate its own child protection policy for children below 15, or those above 15 but not more than 18 years old, “who have been charged in court or are undergoing trial for the commission of a crime, and are currently under the rehabilitation and diversion program of the SSD through Bahay Pag-asa, or are otherwise undergoing a community intervention program.”

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? If you are a resident of Muntinlupa City, do you think the Bahay Pag-asa Muntinlupa City will create positive results socially?

Births in Japan Grow for the First Time in 11 Years

September 3, 2026August 31, 2026carlocarrasco

For the first time in eleven years, the number of children born in Japan grew at last with a 0.8 rise covering the first half of 2026, according to a news article by Kyodo News. 342,068 children were born in the January-June 2026 period and the figure includes births to foreign nationals.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news article of Kyodo News. Some parts in boldface…

The number of children born in Japan in the first six months of 2026 rose 0.8 percent from a year earlier to 342,068, marking the first increase for the January-June period in 11 years, health ministry data showed Friday.

The figure, which includes births to foreign nationals, marks an increase of 2,788 from the same period in 2025, according to data released by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare.

Japan has seen births declining since 1973, when 2.09 million babies were born in the middle of the country’s second baby boom.

The recent rise in births comes as the number of marriages recovered in 2024 and 2025, a key factor influencing births.

The number of marriages in 2025, including those involving foreign nationals, rose 1.1 percent from the previous year to about 505,000, marking the second straight annual increase. In the first half of 2026, the number of couples tying the knot rose 0.2 percent from a year earlier to 238,979.

Still, some projections suggest births will remain on a long-term downward trend due to Japan’s shrinking population of people of childbearing age and an increase in those delaying or choosing not to marry.

Births increased in 26 prefectures, with Tokyo posting the largest increase of 2,278, followed by Aichi at 517 and Fukuoka at 438. Among the remaining 21 prefectures that saw declines, Ishikawa Prefecture recorded the largest decrease, at 360.

In the six-month period from January, the number of deaths fell 6.9 percent to 778,982, resulting in a natural population decline of 436,914.

The number of births in 2025 fell to 705,000, marking a record low for the 10th consecutive year, prompting calls to expand support for those who wish to marry and have children.

Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? Do you think there is still hope for another increase in the number of children born in Japan in the near future? Do you think the government and the private sector can work together on solving the population decline of Japan without depending on immigrants?

Availability of Cashless Payment Services for Children in Japan Grows

August 25, 2026August 21, 2026carlocarrasco

The number of cashless payment services for children in Japan is growing and already parents have the means to check their kids’ spending history and balances using digital means, according to a news article by Jiji Press.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news article of Jiji Press. Some parts in boldface…

Cashless payment services for children are increasingly available in Japan, allowing parents to check their children’s balances and spending history through an app to prevent excessive spending.

They are also attracting attention as a financial education tool that helps children learn how to manage their allowances and spend money systematically as Japan becomes increasingly cashless.

In July, Seven Bank began offering a prepaid card and a dedicated app for children aged 6 or older. Parents can load their children’s allowance onto the card via the app and review their spending history.

Notifications are sent whenever the card is used. The app has a feature to send money to children as a reward for achieving goals, such as completing chores.

Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? What is your opinion about having more cashless payment services for children? Do you think the said services will help them become more financially literate and also more disciplined on handling their money?

Trump Administration Trashes Biden-Era LGBTQ Foster Care Rule

July 16, 2026July 15, 2026carlocarrasco

Remember a few years ago when the administration of failed US President Joe Biden came up with a foster care rule that sought to require children who identify as LGBTQ be placed with families willing to accept them through gender identity? That outrageous rule was never implemented but the Trump administration formally eliminated it which is good for the United States, according to a news report by Newsmax.

To put things in perspective, posted below is the excerpt of the Newsmax report. Some parts in boldface…

The Trump administration on Tuesday formally eliminated a Biden-era foster care rule that sought to require children who identify as LGBTQ be placed with families willing to affirm their stated gender identity or sexual orientation.

The Department of Health and Human Services’ Administration for Children and Families (ACF) removed the April 2024 regulation from the Code of Federal Regulations, saying the move will provide clarity and help recruit more foster families nationwide.

The rule never took effect after it was struck down by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, but the administration said removing it entirely closes the door on the policy.

Assistant HHS Secretary Alex Adams told The Daily Wire the decision reflects the administration’s belief that more families should feel welcome to foster children.

“The message that we think it sends is that all families are welcome,” Adams said. “We have too few foster families nationally. We must roll out the red carpet, and we must ensure that there’s homes waiting on kids, not kids waiting on homes.”

The Biden administration’s rule directed federally funded child welfare agencies to ensure that children who “self-identify with an alternative sexual orientation or self-identify as something other than their sex in foster care” were placed with families that would affirm those identities.

The Trump administration said rescinding the regulation supports first lady Melania Trump’s “Fostering the Future” initiative and a related executive order calling for a government-wide effort to strengthen the nation’s foster care system.

Adams said the administration has also launched its “Home for Every Child” campaign to increase the number of foster homes available for children entering the system.

“Nationally, we have a shortage,” Adams said. “We only have 57 homes for every 100 kids coming in, so we can and must do better to ensure that there’s enough homes for kids because when there’s not enough homes, kids end up in short-term rentals, hotels, government office spaces, etc.”

Adams said families with strong religious beliefs and moral convictions make up a large share of those willing to foster children, making it critical that the federal government not discourage them from participating.

Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? Are you delighted that US President Donald Trump and his administration scrapped the Biden-era rule and made sure it would not be revived soon? Do you think the woke, the SJWs and LGBTQ mob will react violently to this development?

14-Year-Old Kid With Disability Dies In Parañaque City, Six Minors Arrested

June 13, 2026June 10, 2026carlocarrasco

Recently in the City of Parañaque, a 14-year-old boy died as a result of getting beaten by six minors over a transaction he had with them, according to a news report by The Daily Tribune. The six minors were arrested later in follow-up police operations.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news report of The Daily Tribune. Some parts in boldface…

A 14-year-old boy with disability died after he was allegedly mauled by six minors in Barangay BF Homes, Parañaque City.

Parañaque City police chief Police Colonel Nicolas Piñon said the victim had met the group—also minors—reportedly in connection with a transaction involving shorts he had purchased from them.

After the exchange, the victim climbed a footbridge where he was allegedly attacked and repeatedly beaten. The teenager managed to flee but was already vomiting blood when he was later assisted and rushed to a hospital.

He died from severe head injuries, according to investigators.

Six minors were later arrested in follow-up police operations. They were turned over to the local social welfare authorities, in line with protocols for children in conflict with the law, while complaints for murder are being readied against them. Authorities have withheld the identities of those involved due to their ages.

Police said it is coordinating with social welfare agencies as the case undergoes inquest proceedings and further investigation.

Meanwhile, the victim’s family has called for justice, describing the teenager as kind and with no known conflicts prior to the incident.

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What do you think about this recent development? If you are a resident of Parañaque, are you concerned that there could still be a lot more violent teenagers out there? Does Parañaque have a growing teenage criminals population? Do you still believe in the Parañaque Renaissance?

Japan’s Child Population Declines To New Low Of 13.29 Million

May 14, 2026May 11, 2026carlocarrasco

Japan, which is one of the largest economies of the world, has an enduring population growth problem as low fertility rates stubbornly remained. That said, the child population of Japan has declined yet again reaching a new all-time low of 13.29 million, according to a news report of Kyodo News. The said figure even includes foreign residents.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news report of Kyodo News Some parts in boldface…

Japan’s child population has shrunk to an estimated 13.29 million as of April 1, down 350,000 from a year earlier and marking a new record low, the government said Monday.

The ratio of children under 15 dropped 0.3 percentage point to 10.8 percent of the total population, also the lowest since comparable data became available in 1950, according to data released by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications ahead of the national Children’s Day holiday on Tuesday.

The figures, including foreign residents, were calculated using population estimates that are based on a national census conducted every five years.

While the Japanese government has prioritized measures to address the declining birthrate and designated the period through 2030 as a “final opportunity to reverse the trend,” the decline has continued for 45 years despite steps such as expanding financial support for child-rearing households.

By gender, there were 6.81 million boys and 6.48 million girls, according to the data.

By age, 3.09 million children were 12 to 14, whereas 2.13 million were 0 to 2, indicating a trend of fewer children being born.

The number of children, including foreigners, born in Japan in 2025 hit a record low of 705,809, declining for the 10th consecutive year, according to preliminary data released by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare.

Japan’s child population has been falling since 1982, after peaking in 1954 at 29.89 million, while a second baby boom was observed between 1971 and 1974. The ratio of children has also been falling for the 52nd consecutive year since 1975.

Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? Do you think the government’s efforts to reverse Japan’s low birthrate will eventually create positive results over the next several years? Are you convinced that allowing a larger number of foreigners to migrate to Japan will solve the birthrate problem? Do you think the government of Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae will come up with new plans to increase Japanese birthrates?

May 6, 2026April 30, 2026carlocarrasco

Recently in the progressive city of Muntinlupa, volunteer teachers from Korea were deployed children development centers (CDCs) where they taught lessons and brought smiles to local kids, according to a news report by the Manila Bulletin.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from Manila Bulletin report. Some parts in boldface…

The Muntinlupa City government welcomed the fourth batch of Korean volunteer teachers who were deployed to childhood development centers (CDCs).

The partnership of the Muntinlupa City government with the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) and the Philippine National Volunteer Service Coordinating Agency (PNVSCA) drives the program, which is designed to improve child development in the city.

Mayor Ruffy Biazon said the volunteers are supporting the city’s Early Childhood Education Division.

“They go on duty at our childhood development centers,” he said, adding that the fourth batch includes volunteers who are specialists in child education.

Some had previously volunteered in Muntinlupa and other parts of the country and have returned.

For the volunteer program, the Muntinlupa City government was recognized as an International Local Volunteer Partner Institution Awardee by the PNVSCA.

In December 2023, Muntinlupa was recognized as the first Volunteerism Local Learning Hub in the country.
