Bulacan Gov. Fernando vows to fulfill Gat Blas Ople’s dream

Bulacan Gov. Fernando vows to fulfill Gat Blas Ople’s dream

CITY OF MALOLOS, Bulacan — Bulacan marked the 99th birth anniversary of Gat Blas F. Ople on Tuesday, Feb. 3, with Governor Daniel R. Fernando vowing to pursue the late statesman’s vision of a coastal road‑dike linking Bataan and Cavite to protect flood‑prone communities. Fernando recalled that Ople, known as the “Father of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs)” and author of the Philippine Labor Code, was among the first to recognize the dangers of high tide in Hagonoy. "Isine-celebrate [natin] itong taong ito, dahil [siya] ay isa sa mga nagsumikap na magkaroon ng flood control. Noon pa lang nakita na ng taong ito, nakita niya na lahat kung ano ang mangyayari. Nakita ni Ka Blas, na nagha-high tide sa Hagonoy. Kaya inilaban ni Ka Blas ang coastal [road-dike] na ilalatag sa kahabaan ng coastal ng Bataan hanggang Cavite (We celebrate this person because he was one of those who worked hard to establish flood control. Even back then, this person already foresaw everything that was going to happen. Ka Blas saw that Hagonoy experienced high tides. That is why Ka Blas fought for the coastal road-dike to be laid out along the coastline from Bataan to Cavite)," he said The governor stressed that Ople’s foresight remains urgent today, as flooding continues to threaten Bulacan and neighboring provinces. He noted that the governors of Bataan, Pampanga, and Bulacan have agreed to pursue the Manila Bay Integrated Flood Control, Coastal Defense, and Expressway Project. Fernando, together with Pampanga Governor Dennis G. Pineda and Bataan Governor Jose Enrique S. Garcia III, recently appealed to the Office of the President to begin construction of the long‑delayed project. Originally proposed in the 1970s under President Ferdinand Marcos Sr., the plan was shelved amid political problems. This year’s commemoration carried the theme “Gat Blas F. Ople: Huwaran ng Pinanday na Isipan, Inspirasyon ng mga Kabataan.” Ople’s daughter, Atty. Dalisay Ople‑San Jose, and granddaughter, Estelle Ople Osorio, joined Fernando and Vice Governor Alexis C. Castro in a wreath laying at Ople’s monument. Osorio, president of the Blas F. Ople Policy Center and Training Institute, Inc., highlighted her grandfather’s enduring contributions, including the 13th month pay, constitutional provisions ensuring education receives the largest share of the national budget, and pioneering protections for OFWs that have since been adopted by other countries. “Our celebration of Ople Day is not just about remembering a name, but honoring a life full of lessons, sacrifices, and love for our country,” Osorio said.

Warming climate pushes IOC to consider earlier Winter Games dates

Warming climate pushes IOC to consider earlier Winter Games dates

MILAN (AP) — Staging future Winter Games as early as January and the Paralympic Winter Games in February is a possibility because of the effects of warmer temperatures, the International Olympic Committee said Wednesday, Feb. 4. Every Winter Games medal was won in February since the 1964 Innsbruck Olympics opened Jan. 29, and moving to January would likely disrupt scheduling of storied World Cup races and events. It also would more directly clash with NFL and NBA schedules. The IOC is now reviewing Olympic Games issues in the first year of Kirsty Coventry’s presidency and changing the winter edition dates is an option. “Maybe we are also discussing to bring the Winter Olympics a little bit earlier,” the IOC member overseeing the sports program review, Karl Stoss, told reporters. “To do it in January because it has an implication for the Paralympics as well.” The Milan Cortina Paralympic Winter Games will be held March 6-15. The IOC has long acknowledged under Coventry\'s predecessor Thomas Bach that changing climate is a challenge for finding future hosts and organizing competitions. “(March) is very late because the sun is strong enough to melt the snow,” said Stoss, whose home country Austria is a traditional power in Alpine skiing and ski jumping. “Maybe the Paralympics will be in February and the other edition will be in January. That would also be a part of our discussion,” he said on the sidelines of the IOC’s eve-of-Olympics meeting in Milan. The 100-plus IOC members met later Wednesday for another round of talks in the review program Coventry called “Fit For The Future.” Coventry said at a news conference “there are potentially going to be needs for us to look at adjustments of times,” to schedule future Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. "That might be a way if we bumped things forward.” IOC members are set to meet again in June to decide on the Olympic reviews, and whether to add new sports and events to the 2030 French Alps Winter Games. The French Alps edition is currently expected to run Feb. 1-17 and the 2034 Utah Winter Games from Feb. 10–26.

Véronique Nichanian’s swan song for Hermès

Véronique Nichanian’s swan song for Hermès

How does one part ways without a sense of sadness? Add to that years of artistry, friendship, and legacy, and saying goodbye without somberness could seem impossible. But that’s not the case for Véronique Nichanian, who, after 37 years as the artistic director of Hermès menswear, has stepped down from her post, ending what will be one of the longest and most influential tenures in the fashion industry. **media[76932]** It was in 1988 when Véronique became part of the historic French maison. In a time when creative directors shift as quickly as the newest trend cycle, the French designer made a lasting impression by focusing on refined craftsmanship, subtle detail, and timeless elegance. Her work over the years has been the ultimate testament to her design philosophy: clothes are “made for today and forever,” ignoring spectacle and instead focusing on how a garment works in real life. “I would like more people to realize that we’re doing not only clothes, but clothes that last a long time,” she told Forbes. “I know exactly where I want to go, and I try to make things more interesting for men each season, proposing a mix of fabrics to them, bringing them new materials.” **carousel[76935,76936,76937]** That philosophy continued in her final collection for Hermès. Showcased at the Palais Brongniart in France on Jan. 24, 2026, the house’s fall-winter 2026 menswear collection spotlighted classic silhouettes, from silk turtlenecks paired with leather trousers to retro-aviator looks that paid homage to “The Little Prince” writer Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. But Véronique never shied away from elevating her designs. Her color and texture choices, such as pops of pink-grapefruit color, glossy crocodile leather, patchwork details, and blurred florals, offered subtle yet notable design elements. These mirrored how men dress today: confident but understated, expressive without excess, and grounded in individuality rather than trend-driven display. **carousel[76933,76939,76934]** Deserving of a second look were the bags the models carried. Boxy overnight bags appeared in shades of sky blue, olive, and brown. But what truly stole the spotlight was the boombox bag, complete with a cassette wallet. Archival pieces also made it to Véronique’s final collection: a pinstriped leather suit from 2003 and a calfskin jumpsuit from 1991 returned to the runway. **media[76940]** By the end of the show, the maison celebrated Véronique’s legacy by playing clips of her bowing and receiving applause after past seasons’ shows. In an interview with WWD, she expressed her gratitude to Hermès for giving her the freedom to design pieces that are best for the Hermès man. “There is no nostalgia. I’m happy, I’m proud of myself,” Véronique said. “I work very hard and with passion. I made the style of the Hermès man, with simple lines, and I’m honest with myself. I’m straight to the point, and I never change my mind.”

Meralco PowerGen Corporation (MGEN), through its thermal subsidiary Panay Energy Development Corporation (PEDC), formalized its partnership for the Handumanan Reforestation and Carbon Sink Project Phase II, marking the continuation of its long-running reforestation efforts in Lambunao, Iloilo. Handumanan Phase II forms part of MGEN’s contribution to One Meralco’s One for Trees Program – advancing its goal of planting five (5) million trees nationwide by 2030. Through this initiative, MGEN continues to align its environmental programs with broader efforts to restore ecosystems and build climate resilience. Phase II builds on the results of the first phase of Handumanan – which planted more than 522,000 trees across around 150 hectares in Lambunao. Under the new phase, the project will restore 80 additional hectares through the planting of 153,660 endemic, indigenous, and agroforestry trees over the next four (4) years. MGEN has committed Php 10 million to support the implementation and monitoring of the project. In addition to expanding forest cover, the initiative is expected to help address carbon emissions, revive biodiversity, and provide livelihood opportunities for nearby communities. Since 2009, MGEN Thermal Panay has nurtured a thriving green footprint with 845,726 trees and mangroves planted across 256.62 hectares from various projects and initiatives. At the Memorandum of Agreement signing, MGEN Thermal President and CEO Felino M. Bernardo emphasized: “Every tree we plant is a promise—a promise of cleaner air, richer biodiversity, and a healthier planet. Together, we are not just building forests; we are building hope. Powering a better tomorrow starts here, and it starts with us.” Handumanan Phase II embodies MGEN’s mission of Powering a Better Tomorrow—driving meaningful change for communities today and preserving nature for generations to come.
