  The present situation has opened the door for fathers to play a more vital role in their child’s growth and development. With them spending a lot more time at home than ever before, dads can now share the load in running the household with their partners. Research has shown that parent-child interactions in the early ages can lead to more positive cognitive and socio-emotional benefits and more are recognizing the unique benefits of father-child play. Former MILO champion Japoy Lizardo has taken this trend to heart as a father to his sons Jace and Jevi. In celebration of Father’s Day, he offers his tips and advice for dads to help them be more involved and take a more active role in caring for their children. First and foremost is the need to be as resourceful and creative as he can to take care of his kids’ physical health. “Ngayon mas kailangan maging creative and resourceful para sa mga activities ng mga kids. Unlike before na pupunta lang kayo sa park at maglalaro o pupunta lang

  Dads are known as the providers of the family, the ‘pillar of the home’. While they’re usually the ones who go out to work to earn a living, they always make time to bond and share fun and delightful moments with their wife and kids. With the ongoing pandemic still forcing most of us to stay at home, dads have had to expand their roles and skills like learning new recipes and cooking, taking up hobbies to bond with their kids, and doing DIY projects to redecorate their house—they do these and so much more while juggling work-from-home duties. This just shows that no matter how stressful things can get, they still constantly find ways to show their love and dedication to their families. Indeed, each day is an opportunity to show gratitude for dads, but a timely message that’s often left out is “I’m proud of you, dad!” With Father’s Day drawing near, there’s nothing more special—and endearing—than expressing this heartfelt thought with any of Red Ribbon’s delectable cakes and pastries

 One of the things that I can remember of my childhood is the Philippine Independence dlDay celebration. Waking up hearing the national anthem being sung from the television while the Philippine Flag raising is being re-enacted in Aguinaldo Shrine, I remember creating the Philippine flag using bond paper and crayon and attaching it to a skewer so I can display it outside of our house, while my Lola is preparing our lunch early with our favorite adobo or sinigang. Years may have passed, and I may now have my own family, but this nostalgic feeling is always present during this celebration. Even with the new normal that we have due to the pandemic, I still try to do simple celebrations to commemorate the independence of our country and also teach my daughter how to create her Philippine flag. For this year, instead of preparing a simple meal, we have decided to order our food via GrabFood Delivery for our favorite Filipino Food. Aside from saving time in preparation, this also helps our

  Canada is known for the endless beautiful land, the incredible people, and some of the best food and views you could ask for. It's such a popular moving destination that there's immediately a spike in people applying for citizenship in the Great White North whenever there's an election in another country. Still, many aren't sure if investing in real estate is worth it or if it's a waste of money. Here are some perks to consider if the allure is calling to you! The Prices In Rural Areas Although you won't find much cheap property in the main cities, the further out you go, the cheaper it gets. Some homes in Canada sell for  as low as $25,000 ! Of course, most property is far more expensive than this; if you're willing to search and take your time, you can find a property that has everything you want for far cheaper than you'd find in the United States. Endless Space and Expansion Canada takes its greeneries seriously  and works hard to keep the coun

If there’s anything we love about mothers, it’s the fact that they’re always willing to be a part of their children’s lives, helping them improve in every way. That’s especially true while families may be spending time apart during the pandemic. We can always find ways to show our heartfelt love for our moms no matter how challenging it might be right now.

 It’s a rainy Monday morning. Ten years ago, it would have been the perfect setting to do nothing while waiting for class suspension. I kind of envy my daughter being on vacation and having the day to fiddle and play games on her phone. I was facing my computer, contemplating my next article when I remembered that it was Memorial Day. I should take the day off but as a mom working from home, what’s the difference between a holiday and a regular working day? It’s not like I could go outside to destress, then an idea came to mind. It turned out, I didn’t have to envy my daughter at all.            What’s the best source of entertainment within the confines of our home? If you answered mobile and computer gaming, you’re absolutely right! It was in college when I got really hooked on gaming. Sure, consoles back in my younger days Like Play Station 1, SEGA Genesis, and NES were awesome, but you had to buy each CD or cartridge to play the game, which is way too expensive for us back in the d
