With a funding gap of over 60 per cent, WFP 's chief economist Arif Husain said the organization had "never seen this type of shortfall" in its 60-year history. As contributions decline but needs rise, the UN agency said "massive reductions" have already been implemented in almost half of its operations. The latest analysis from the agency shows every one per cent cut in food assistance pushes 400,000 people into emergency hunger. The lack of funding comes at a time of massive jump in needs which started with the COVID-19 pandemic and compounded by the war in Ukraine.

For small businesses that rely on summer tourism, extreme weather is replacing the pandemic as the determining factor in how well a summer will go. The pandemic had its ups and downs for tourism, with a total shutdown followed by a rush of vacations due to pent-up demand. This year, small businesses say vacation cadences are returning to normal. But now, they have extreme weather to deal with—many say it's hurting business, while more temperate spots are seeing a surge. Tourism-related businesses have always been at the mercy of the weather.

Preparing to teach face to face, the first time in the Ateneo since the pandemic lockdown, I look back on the last semester I taught at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. I taught an undergraduate history course 'Under Two Empires: The Philippines under Spain and the United States' and a graduate seminar on Rizal taught from primary sources. While one should not compare lemons with kalamansi, I could not help but envy my US-based students, particularly the Fil-Ams, who had easy access to primary sources for their term papers.

Could any group of people — real or fictional — screw up this microcosm of capitalist excess more fantastically than the gang from "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia?" A new "Always Sunny" edition of Monopoly now offers a "contemptible twist" on the classic game, trading the fabled Boardwalk and Park Place spaces for the likes of Paddy's Pub, Dennis and Mac's apartment and other memorable locations from the show.

COMMENT: It's one week. And it's one game. So why do it? And why now? Why did Jadon Sancho choose to take to social media and attack his manager as he did on Sunday...? This was no meltdown. No spur of the moment thing. Sancho essentially released a prepared statement. The winger taking aim at Erik ten Hag and the manager's claims of poor training ground form being reason for his omission at . Barely an hour after the final whistle, Sancho let it all hang out: 'Please don't believe everything you read! I will not allow people saying things that is completely untrue, I have conducted myself in training very well this week.
