The Covid-19 pandemic was the biggest challenge of our lifetime. The international response was punctuated with many high points of cooperation, and some low points of isolationism. We need to do better so that we are prepared for the next crisis. That means two things. First, we must provide help to lower and middle income countries so they're better able to withstand health threats. The UK is committed to doing what it can to help strengthen health systems - they are the bedrock of effective pandemic prevention, preparedness and response.

Last Monday, I published my eulogy during the wake of my Leni (Elenita Carpio-Panganiban). Today, let me quote portions (within my limited space) from three of the 10 eulogies depicting her as a mother, a grandmother, and a professor for 37 years at the Asian Institute of Management (AIM). CELINE PANGANIBAN-HANNETT: Growing up, my mom was my image of perfection—perfection that was beyond my grasp. She was so beautiful, poised, and strong yet demure. She was smart, hardworking, and successful yet she was always so soft-spoken, big-hearted, selfless, and so generous.
