  Did you know that dialysis is now free for the impoverished under the Marcos administration? This is one of the significant news items I saw during the recent State of the Nation Address. One of the most challenging health problems faced by Filipinos today is kidney disease, with many people burdened by debt due to the costly dialysis treatments required for their loved ones. However, a positive change has started with the introduction of free dialysis sessions, accessible in various locations across the Philippines.

Lights dimmed, and the big screen came alive with dazzling colors as I sat back and watched the enchanting world of Barbie unfold before my eyes.

  One of the most interesting lives of a celebrity in Hollywood is Charlize Theron. Did you know that before she became one of the highest-paid actresses, she went through a lot with her own father? Charlize Theron's father was an alcoholic, heavily dependent on alcohol. Almost every day, he would beat his wife and children, including Charlize. One time, in his extreme drunkenness, Charlize's father pointed a gun at himself and his wife and pulled the trigger. Fortunately, Charlize's mother also had her own handgun and, in an act of self-defense, she shot her husband, killing him. It was a very sad and tragic event, but it was proven in court that it was self-defense, and Charlize's mother did not go to prison. After that, they tried to live a normal and peaceful life. Despite the darkness they experienced, they managed to rise above it and provide Charlize with a happy childhood. At the age of 16, Charlize started dreaming of leaving the past behind, so she tried her h
