MANILA, Philippines — Senator Aquilino 'Koko' Pimentel III on Wednesday said the postponement of barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections (BSKE) could have deprived capable Filipino youth of the chance to enhance their leadership skills through the SK system. 'The Barangay and SK elections would have been a very good opportunity to conduct a referendum on the performance of the incumbent, especially in relation to their handling of the pandemic response. [T]he postponement deprived a whole generation of potentially-capable Filipino youth,' said Pimentel in a statement.

The previous government failed me, and now this government is failing me too. —      Bahija J., a 75-year-old woman in Cape Town, September 21, 2022 Bahija J., 75, has been on the waiting list for state-subsidized housing for 40 years. Her rented house in Cape Town is moldy and damp, and her landlord has promised her hot water since 1996. She is afraid of dying alone in the house but does not want to end up in an 'old age home.' Bahija spent nearly half a century of her life under an apartheid regime, whose racial segregation policies denied the majority of today's black African, coloured, and Indian/Asian older South Africans a decent education, decent work, and the ability to save for older age.
