Chanelle Avaricio will face a stiff challenge from an elite field looking to knock the crown off her head. Pauline del Rosario is back on a break from the Epson Tour, the farm league of the US Ladies Professional Golf Association. Chihiro Ikeda, Harmie Constantino and Daniella Uy are eager to bounce back from unsuccessful bids in recent tournaments. If there's anything comforting for Avaricio about the ICTSI Caliraya Springs tournament that kicks off on Tuesday, it's the fact that she will be returning to the site of one of her three Ladies Philippine Golf Tour (LPGT) victories last year.

Unable to keep pace with the increase in price of raw goods, many traders say they have withdrawn from the government's Menu Rahmah programme for affordable meals. Ayob Abd Majid said many of the traders who had joined the initiative were only able to keep up for the first three to four months. "After that, many dropped out because they could no longer absorb the rising costs of basic food items," Ayob, the chairman of the Ampang Small Traders Association, told MalaysiaNow. Menu Rahmah, an initiative under the domestic trade and cost of living ministry, is aimed at reducing the burden of low-income groups due to the hike in cost of living.

The players are hoping to be spotted by talent scouts and get into a good university team. The set at Unity Theatre has been converted into a soccer stadium — think astro turf with the audience seated in bleachers on the periphery.
