THE Commission on Population-Central Luzon, in partnership with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), launched the 2021 State of World Population Report Wednesday, May 19.

ONE of the sad realities that we face nowadays is that we have lesser time reading books. Gadgets, computers, and other mobile devices seemed to have invaded our culture and way of living that our fondness for literature has also been dwindling as years pass by.
