MANILA, Philippines — A menstrual period tracker app that also provides information about menstrual health and hygiene has been developed by Filipino girls for their peers. Launched on Friday, the Oky Philippines app was developed in consultation with over 400 girls living in various contexts nationwide — including indigenous peoples, out-of-school youth, and children with disabilities, as well as among teachers, parents, and boys. It also contains content relevant to Islamic culture as it was co-created with adolescents in the Bangsamoro region.

The first round of the 'Florida and Gov. Ron DeSantis v. The Walt Disney Company' fight, held last spring, ended in a clear DeSantis victory and Disney defeat. Following Disney's vocal opposition to Florida's commonsense Parental Rights in Education Act, misleadingly dubbed the 'Don't Say Gay' bill, Florida passed a law to abolish the Reedy Creek Improvement District, which in 1967 incentivized Disney's initial planting of a flag in Central Florida by giving the corporation unparalleled government-like powers over basic municipal services such as zoning, building codes and waste treatment.

Chinese provinces aren't using the funds raised from infrastructure bond sales effectively, audit reports showed, raising doubts about their ability to spur investment and growth in the economy. Of the 25 provinces that have released audit reports of their 2022 budgets, 80% had mismanaged bond funds, according to an analysis by Sinolink Securities Co analysts led by Zhao Wei. The problems include insufficient project preparation, misuse of the bond proceeds, and money granted being left unused. The slow roll-out of the funds is one of the 'clogging points in stabilising growth' cited in the provincial reports, the analysts wrote in a note on Wednesday.
