When Chu Fengling raised a particular question in front of a roomful of giggling second-graders, the whole class fell silent. "What would you do if someone wanted to hug you, kiss you, or even touch your private parts?" Chu asked while giving a public lecture in Chengguan No.6 Primary School in Pingluo County, northwest China's Ningxia Hui nomous Region. A few seconds later, answers emerged one after another: "Run away." "Shout for help." "Call the police." Chu praised the students' answers but warned that if there was no one around when the assault occurred, their screams would not only be inaudible but would also irritate the abuser.

SAN BENITO, Surigao del Norte, Philippines — Holding a bunch of brown seaweeds, Coreta Espanso proudly relates that her cultivation of the marine algae helped fund her second child's completion of a college degree last year. Like Espanso, most women of Sitio Campinganon, an islet in Barangay Maribojoc on Siargao Island, tend seaweed farms to help augment their husbands' income from fishing hence, it was more of a secondary livelihood activity. The situation changed after Supertyphoon Odette (international name: Rai) struck Siargao in December 2021 when their husbands' fishing gear was destroyed, and there were no off-fishing jobs available in the local tourism circuit.

MANILA, Philippines — The world's seven most powerful democracies back the Philippines' claims in the South China Sea as they opposed Beijing's expansive maritime claims and strongly opposed its militarization in the region. The Group of Seven (G7) — comprising Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States — plus the European Union adopted this position during the G7 and Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (Quad) summits in Japan earlier this month. 'The G7 leaders also stressed that there is no legal basis for China's expansive claims in the South China Sea and strongly opposed its militarization in the region,' Japan Ambassador Kazuhiko Koshikawa wrote Presidential Communications Secretary Cheloy Velicaria-Garafil in a May 20 letter.
