Sage of the Port
Bordering on the bedlam of sights and sounds that is the city is a small community unseen by many. Huddled houses, narrow spaces, muddy if not rocky roads, and reeky smells–despite these, the Baseco Compound, a reclaimed section of Port Area, Manila, is home to thousands. It has more than 56 hectares owned by the National Government and is under the jurisdiction of the Philippines Ports Authority. Being one of the most populous urban poor in the Philippines, reaching more than 64,750 people, as recorded in the Philippine Census in 2020, the Baseco community faces numerous challenges that worsen the situation of its residents.

Political Standings Not Withstanding
A Message of Unity in Modern Political Division Across the United States, the country is divided by political views and beliefs. The level of division that currently exists in 2023, in fact, has not been seen in many decades, maybe even centuries.

For Women's History Month, President Blasts the Rest of the World
March 11th (Santa Rosa, CA) – March is Women’s History Month, which started right here in Santa Rosa as just a single week in 1978. By 1980, the week became recognized at the federal level before expanding to the whole month in 1987. It was a great surprise and honor, then, that the recently installed President of the United States requested to give a speech before the Commission on the Status of Women—which founded and administered the original celebratory week—to commemorate this year’s observances.
