President “Bong Bong” Marcos Jr. just vetoed Senate Bill No. 2797, a bill that declares Pampanga as the “Culinary Capital of the Philippines.” The bill was authored by Sen. Lito Lapid and submitted last August 2024 and, was approved on third and final reading Monday, December 9, 2024.
In a letter that sent to the House of Representatives, Pres. Marcos Jr. cite that the bill “lacked a historical basis and key performance indicators to justify such declaration, warning that it could offend other provinces with similarly rich culinary traditions.” The President also said “I cannot ignore the concerns regarding the declaration’s lack of historical basis, the absence of a thorough study that shows key performance indicators for such designation, and the possibility that the bill may offend sensibilities in other provinces that are equally proud of their culinary contributions,”
He ended his letter stating that “All our culinary variations reflect the rich cultural diversity of a group of people scattered among the Philippine islands.”
You can read the full text of the letter below;
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Please allow me to extend my sincere appreciation to both Houses of Congress in their efforts to craft a bill which aims to declare the Province of Pampanga as the Culinary Capital of the Philippines in recognition of its contribution to the dynamic and rich culinary history of the country. It cannot be denied that Pampanga is celebrated for its diverse and flavorful dishes, traditional cooking methods, and a strong culture of food innovation. This is consistent with the policy of the government to conserve, promote, and popularize the nation’s historical and cultural heritage and resources, as well as artistic creations.
However, while I recognize the noble intention of the authors, I cannot ignore the concerns regarding the declaration’s lack of historical basis, the absence of a thorough study that shows key performance indicators for such designation, and the possibility that the bill may offend sensibilities in other provinces that are equally proud of their culinary contributions.
As such, pursuant to Section 27(1), Article VI of the 1987 Constitution, I am returning herewith without my signature the enrolled Senate Bill No. 2797/House Bill No. 10634, entitled:
“AN ACT DECLARING THE PROVINCE OF PAMPANGA AS THE ‘CULINARY CAPITAL OF THE PHILIPPINES.”
The Philippine culinary arts draws its origin from various cultures but displays regional characteristics. Our regions contribute their indigenous dishes with certain recipes that are best done in the areas of origin of their ingredients. All our culinary variations reflect the rich cultural diversity of a group of people scattered among the Philippine islands. Although the Filipino is derived from a common racial stock and a shared history that gave us our identity, our terrains and ethnic characteristics gave us certain differences.
I believe that one must travel our islands to identify the tastes and flavors that express our culture. Our regional variants and their recognizable nuances are what make the palette that is truly Filipino. All of our reputable culinary resources in the form of food literature and gastronomic professionals profess and celebrate the multitude and variety of our native recipes that are sourced from the different provinces and regions. Comparable to literature, visual arts, dance, or music, our culinary arts thrives in its diversity. This richness in terms of regional differences is the strength of our Filipino cuisine.
In consideration of the possibility that the enrolled bill may cause negative cultural implications, discrimination, regional bias, and loss of diversity, I am constrained to veto the abovementioned Enrolled Bill. Either way, I extend my unwavering support to the leadership of both Houses of Congress for working in unison with the Executive and I look forward to more beneficial legislation that would highlight our unique culture without sacrificing our diversity.

On 10 February 2025, the Office of the Prosecutor of the ICC applied for an arrest warrant against Mr Duterte for the crimes against humanity of murder, torture and rape. The Chamber assessed the material submitted by the Prosecution and found reasonable grounds to believe that Mr Duterte is individually responsible as an indirect co-perpetrator for the crime against humanity of murder, allegedly committed in the Philippines between 1 November 2011 and 16 March 2019.
The warrant of arrest against Mr Duterte was issued by the Chamber as “Secret” on 7 March 2025 and reclassified as “Public” on 11 March 2025. On 12 March 2025, Mr Duterte was surrendered to the International Criminal Court after being arrested by the authorities of the Republic of the Philippines in accordance with the warrant of arrest. He is currently in ICC custody.

Under article 127 of the Statute, that withdrawal took effect on 17 March 2019. Nevertheless, the ICC retains jurisdiction over crimes allegedly committed in the Philippines while the country was a State Party to the Statute.

Philippine Airlines (PAL) just announced that they will be investing ₱10 million to “support aspiring women pilots” thru their “Fly With Her” Program (the “Program”) in partnership with PAL Foundation. With the “Fly With Her” Program, PAL aims to close the gender gap in the aviation industry, specially within their ranks since there are currently over 80 women pilots fly for PAL, which is just 9% of our pilot roster.
Here’s the full text of PAL’s official statement;
MANILA, Philippines – Philippine Airlines (PAL) seeks to address the gender gap in aviation through its Fly With Her program, which helps women pursue their dream of flying for the nation’s flag carrier. It recently pledged P10 million to the PAL Foundation, which oversees the scholarship program for women pilots.
“As we celebrate International Women’s Day, we reiterate our support to women who dream of flying for and even assuming top positions in the PAL organization,” said Alvin M. Miranda, PAL Vice President for Marketing.
Apart from the P10 million pledge, PAL will release a film inspired by a real-life story of a young girl who dreamed of becoming a pilot.
“When little girls see women take on leadership roles, it inspires them to do the same and possibly go beyond,” said Lilybeth T. Ng, PAL Assistant Vice President for Pilot Affairs.
The gender gap in aviation remains significant, with only around 6% of pilots worldwide being women.
An Ally of Women in Aviation
PAL has long been a staunch supporter of women in the airline industry. In 1989, its very own Captain Aimee Carandang-Gloria became Southeast Asia’s first woman commercial airline pilot to fly a commercial flight. She broke barriers again in 1993, by becoming the region’s first woman airline captain. PAL continues to lead the way in opening doors for women in the male-dominated industry.
PAL continues to work for clearer and more inclusive skies in aviation, on the strength of its signature service of #CareThatComesFromTheHeart.

Win against Charlotte Hornets (119 – 101)
via NBA.com;
Stephen Curry had 21 points and 10 assists in his annual homecoming game, and the Golden State Warriors pulled away in the second half to defeat the Charlotte Hornets 119-101 on Monday night for their sixth win in seven games.
Stephen Curry had 28 points and nine assists while running his personal record to 12-1 at Madison Square Garden, and the Golden State Warriors beat the New York Knicks 114-102 on Tuesday night.
Jimmy Butler and Brandin Podziemski added 19 points apiece for the Warriors, who improved to 3-1 on their five-game trip. It feels like home for them on the Knicks’ floor, where they have won 12 of the last 14 times.
Draymond Green finished with eight points, nine rebounds and eight assists on his 35th birthday.
Their next game will be in Brooklyn this Friday, the Warriors will then have a 7-game homestead against the Detroit, Portland, Sacramento, New York, Denver, Milwaukee and Toronto.
The Warriors are currently in 6th in the West and just 4 games behind the Memphis Grizzlies, who sits in the 4th place in the West.
Lakers Lebron James just became the first NBA player to score 50K points, counting both regular season and playoffs.
Lebron James is one point shy of the 50k point entering the game and made history by making a 3-pointer on a Luka Doncic assists to build a 7-points Laker lead (13-6) with 8:34 remaining in the first quarter. James now has a total of 50,033 points and at the rate he is playing and producing, he could easily reach 55,000 points by the time he retires, which is still a big question mark at this point.
Regular season Scoring King. Postseason Scoring King.
Kevin Durant is the next active player that has the most (combined) points with 35,225 points. If wants to reach 50K points, then KD needs to play 7 more seasons maintaining his current 26.9 points per game the whole time.
Lebron James’ 50k points may every well be one of the NBA record will NEVER be broken, including Wilt Chamberlain’s 50.4 PPG in a single season and also 100 points in a single game, John Stockton’s 15,806 assists and 3,265 steals, and Michael Jordan’s 10 scoring titles.
Designed by Filipina visual artists Aila Torre, Lari Gazmen and TITAN’s own Alessah Papa, the Nike Sabrina 2 X TITAN is predominantly covered in a light bone tone for a neutral look, and accented with purple, emerald, and blush as a nod to the TITAN Show Her Love tournament; while touches of seafoam honor Sabrina’s growing legacy with the New York Liberty.
Also woven into the vibrant design are three key graphic elements that capture the foundation of the partnership. The Fire Spinner plant inspired the pink-to-yellow gradient Swoosh, and is also imprinted on the right insole. A reflection of Sabrina’s fiery passion and ice-cold game, it also represents the resilience of women’s basketball in the Philippines. On the left insole, it features an illustration of empty bleachers in an arena: a poetic reminder of all the people who are not yet here, and all the space TITAN and Sabrina are making for them once they arrive.
Completing the design are the ‘Make Space’ typography and the Sabrina-esque silhouette graphic on the heel that’s inspired by Tangram puzzles and Bauhaus shapes. Designed to symbolize a brighter future built together, each shape represents the collective efforts of the women’s community.
