After all is said and done, Filipinos remain food-poor. Not just embarrassing but actually pitiful. To think that Filipino officials are gallivanting around the world, presumably to promote the Philippine economy and business opportunities. I wonder if they have the humility and courage to show the grim reality of most Filipinos still stuck in finding and not affording food. 39% of Filipino families consider themselves food-poor. Another 35% consider themselves borderline food-poor. That makes 74% of Filipino families not having enough food to eat and not having the confidence at any time that they will have food security.

The British government has been accused of 'cutting corners' as it published a list of 147 schools in England that are potentially at risk of collapse from crumbling concrete. The list, released Wednesday, suggests that 19 schools have had to delay the start of the new academic year because of the concrete crisis and that students at 24 others will receive some remote learning, with four having switched to fully remote learning at the weekend. Keir Starmer, leader of the main opposition Labour Party, likened the government to 'cowboys running the country' during a rowdy first Prime Minister's Questions session following the summer break.

While the world knows about St Andrews, two historic courses in Edinburgh helped shape the modern game of golf. Thousands of golfers travel to Scotland each year, where the game originated.

But those who make a beeline for these hallowed 18-hole courses are missing out on two of the games' lesser-known – if equally sacred – sites.
