Standard Chartered sees the Philippine economy expanding by only 5.3 percent in 2023, well below the government's forecast range, as high interest rates and more moderate consumer spending weigh on growth. Jonathan Koh, Asia economist at the British banking giant, said the country remains one of the fastest-growing economies in the region but this was mainly due to the so-called base effect from the slower pace of expansion in the past. 'It's going to be a slowdown from last year's 7.6 percent [growth] and below the government's 6 to 7 percent forecast,' he said during a briefing with Philippine media on Friday.

Shadow Minister for Planning and Public Spaces, Scott Farlow, has called on the NSW Government to help address the impact of the Labor cost-of living crisis by deferring the introduction of increased BASIX standards for twelve months, in line with other States, saving home buyers costs and not jeopardising additional housing supply. "As a result of the NSW Labor Government's decision to reintroduce crippling stamp duty on first-home buyers, and to address our current housing supply shortage, we're calling for the deferral of the implementation of increased BASIX standards for twelve months," Mr Farlow said.

Mother's Day is important to take a moment to reflect on the importance of mothers and motherhood. This holiday is an opportunity to celebrate the love, sacrifice, and hard work that goes into being a mum, and to express our gratitude for all that our mothers do.   For many of us, Mother's Day conjures up images of flowers, chocolates, and breakfast in bed. But it's important to remember that this holiday is about much more than material gifts. It's a time to reflect on the role that mothers play in our lives and to appreciate all that they do.

Of all Okinawa's remote islands you can hop to, Yonaguni might not be the first on your list, but I'm here to tell you that it is definitely one you won't want to miss. Home to untamed nature and beautiful landscapes, Yonaguni Island is known as the westernmost island of Japan. With a circumference of 27.49 kilometers and a dimension of 28.88k㎡, 'the Island on a national boundary' is the eighth largest among Okinawa's 160 islands. Getting there is a bit of a challenge, requiring two flights – Naha to Ishigaki and then to Yonaguni — or a flight and a ferry— fly from Naha to Ishigaki then ferry to Yonaguni.
