When the announcement of the Pulitzer Prize for Audio Reporting was awarded to Pablo S. Torre, it was not just a victory for himself– it was a sign that Journalism is slowly changing. The podcast "Pablo Torre finds out" is an investigation into the alleged financial maneuvering inside the NBA's

“I’ll do it later, I will sleep first.” This is my favorite line; at first glance, it may seem harmless—almost comforting. I was always certain of one thing—there would be “later.” A later where I would finally start, will finally focus, and will finally become the version of myself I kept imagining. But the tables will always turn— that “later” I was saying had a way of turning into regret. My days were always filled with negotiation. I always said “five minutes more,” but t

‎In a sport where time is often the final opponent, the legends Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao still carry a light that refuses to fade. More than a decade after their long-awaited first meeting shook the boxing world, talk of a second chapter has reignited old debates, unfinished business, and one lingering question: what does legacy mean when history offers a rematch? ‎ ‎Back in 2015, the boxing world came to a halt. After years of delays, negotiations, and rising

The night that everyone is waiting for, the night that style becomes its own storytelling. ‎ ‎Under the glowing lights of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Met Gala 2026 once again transformed its iconic steps into a runway unlike any other. Each arrival of the guests felt like a reveal—layers of fabric, detail, and vision unfolding with every stride. It wasn’t just about what was worn, but how it was presented, carried, how it moved, how it lingered in the air long after t

Sa bawat pagtawag sa aking pangalan, tila bumabagal ang mundo sa loob ng silid-aralan. Isang hakbang paakyat ng entablado, mas lumalakas ang palakpakan, mas umiinit ang mga matang nakatingin, mas bumibigat ang sandaling tila ako ang pinakakilala. Isinabit sa aking leeg ang medalya, inabot sa akin ang sertipiko—at sa loob ng ilang segundo, pakiramdam ko, ako ang paborito. Ngunit ang entablado ay laging may katapat na pagbaba. Sa oras na bumalik ako sa aking upuan, unti-unting

Sa tuwing nanonood ako ng basketball, hindi lang laro ang nakikita ko—nakikita ko rin ang buhay. Oo, medyo malalim pakinggan, pero isipin mo: bawat pasa, bawat tira, bawat pagkakamali, may katumbas sa totoong buhay. Halimbawa na lang, kapag may player na nagkamali sa tira. Hindi siya tumitigil. Tatakbo siya pabalik sa depensa at babawi sa susunod na laro. Parang tayo rin ‘yan—nagkakamali, nadadapa, pero hindi dapat doon nagtatapos. Napansin ko rin na hindi nananalo ang isang

Hindi lahat ng tagumpay ay nasasaksihan nang magkakasama ang pamilya. Para sa isang magulang na nagtatrabaho sa ibang bansa, ang moving up ceremony ng kanyang anak ay hindi lamang isang masayang okasyon—ito rin ay puno ng lungkot at pangungulila. Isang OFW na si Mrs. Melissa Butuhan, apatnapu’t isang taong gulang, na kasalukuyang nasa Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, ang nagbahagi ng kanyang karanasan nang hindi siya makadalo sa moving-up ceremony ng kanyang anak. Sa halip na persona

Maalon. Ma-uga. Mahangin. Ganyan ko mailalarawan ang paglalakbay at ang mismong lugar na sasalubong sa akin sa Pugad, Hagonoy, Bulacan. Hindi pa man ako nakakatawid, ramdam ko na agad ang tensyon; ang tubig na tila walang tigil sa paggalaw, ang hangin na humahampas sa balat, at ang ideya na anumang oras, maaaring maging delikado ang bawat alon na humahampas sa aming bangka. Ngunit sa kabila nito, may isang bagay na mas nangingibabaw sa takot—ang kaalaman na sa dulo ng biyah

I stood at the side of the venue, camera pressed firmly in my hands, eyes fixed on the scene I was supposed to capture. On stage, names were being called one by one—each step forward met with applause, each recognition marking the end of one journey and the beginning of another. I tried to focus on the frame. Keep it steady. Don’t miss the moment. But my thoughts were no longer on the people in front of me. They were on the list, and so is my name. On the realization that in

Isang mahusay at malikhain si John Antonio; ilaw para sa kaniya ang paggawa ng iba’t ibang uri ng robot na gawa sa plastik na bote o mga basurang maaari pang i-recycle. Ito ang kaniyang aliwan sa pang-araw-araw na pagdilat ng mga mata niya na may ngiti at saya sa puso. Ngunit sa isang iglap ng kaniyang mga mata—mundong hindi niya mawari ang nasilayan niya. Sa tuwing maglalakbay si Antonio sa kaniyang minamahal na bayan, palaging may liwanag sa kaniyang mga labi. Ito ay dahil

There are stories you watch and forget, and then there are stories that stay with you, replaying in your mind like a movie after the screen turns to black. Some characters are written to impress. Others are written to inspire. One character stands out not for their intelligence but for their purity and unconditional love. But Joselito Gopez feels like he was written to be remembered. In the Filipino-dubbed version of Miracle in Cell No. 7, Joselito is portrayed as a man with
