Manuel s photo essay sheds light to the story of Line Nalangan and her daughter Ysa. Short of a stable income due to unemployment when the pandemic hit the country, each day is a struggle for them to keep up with the modular learning system but their persistence to complete Ysa s education pushes them to get up each morning to produce and sell as many rags as possible, while answering modules and making sure that the family s basic needs are still being given.
A year ago, Line Nalangan, 46, lost her job due to the lockdowns imposed by the government in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. She used to work as a stay-in housekeeper for a Philippine Offshore Gaming Operations (POGO) firm, earning P8,000 per month. As soon as she became unemployed, her family came to the brink of homelessness.

THE growing number of companies offering or expressing interest in tapping the real estate investment trust (REIT) market signal confidence in the capital market, but their dividends will be watched by investors, analysts said.
âIt shows that companies feel that the capital market is a good place to raise money, and it also shows that there are available investors ready to take them,â Juanis G. Barredo, chief technical analyst of COL Financial Group, Inc., said in a Viber message last week.
âIf they feel or sense otherwise, they [will] defer such offerings,â he added.
Rizal Commercial Banking Corp. (RCBC) Chief Economist Michael L. Ricafort said seeing more companies offer REITs is âa good signal on the further progress and development of the countryâs capital market.â

Ayala Land Inc. has recycled 28 metric tons of plastic waste, the equivalent of 2.8 million plastic water bottles filling up 73 basketball courts,into useful eco-products last year as part of its “circular waste management” initiative.
In a statement, ALI said the plastic waste, which would have otherwise filled up Metro Manila’s dumpsites or find its way into Manila Bay, has been recycled into eco-products like bricks for pathways, sidewalks and fences.
ALI said it has expanded its commitment to environmental protection amid the COVID-19 pandemic by using a circular economy approach to waste management- turning plastic waste to products that can be used in projects.
