Internet giant Google and local non-profit group Center for Art, New Ventures, and Sustainable Development (CANVAS) have partnered to launch #YOUTHink, a local magazine that aims to help in the quest of ending misinformation through media literacy education.
Google provided funding support for the development, design, and publication of the magazine which is being initially distributed for free to 5,000 youths in disadvantaged communities all over the country.
The tech company conceived the title of the magazine to put emphasis on two elements: “youth” which is a vital force in addressing misinformation, and “critical thinking” which is necessary to exercise before believing, posting or sharing any information online.
THE UPCOMING romantic comedy
Miss Q&A: Para Sa Magaganda Lang Ba ang Love Life? has released a music video teaser featuring the song “
Halika” written and performed by Seth Dungca. The film, which has no release date as of yet, tells the story of a romantically frustrated pageant trainer and public relations maverick (played by Kakai Bautista) who goes on a blind date with a handsome photographer (played by Zoren Legaspi). The screenplay was written by John Bedia in collaboration with Lemuel Lorca and Chris Cahilig. The song is also available for streaming on Spotify.
