Glaiza De Castro explains lyrics added to 'Encantadia' theme song in Bayang Barrios collab
Aside from the iconic chants from the original "Encantadia" theme song, Glaiza De Castro's collaboration with Bayang Barrios also came with new lyrics written by the actress. In Nelson Canlas' report on "24 Oras," Thursday, Glaiza shared how she was pleasantly surprised by the setup for their live performance of "Tadhana" together. "Nagulat ako kasi ang laki ng setup. Mero'ng kulintang, merong chimes, and everything. So para akong nasa Devas bigla," Glaiza said. Glaiza said that Bayang explained to her the meaning behind the well-loved theme song, which she gave new life to with her additional lyrics. "2005, 2016, ang naririnig lang natin is 'uwe, uwe,' tapos in-explain siya sa 'kin ni Ms. Bayang kung ano 'yung story behind it. Para siyang kalikasan na nasira. 'Yun 'yung description sa kaniya nung composer, so parang nag-cha-chant lang talaga siya. Freestyle lang talaga siya. And then ako naman, bilang nasira 'yung kalikasan, gusto ko pa ring lumaban," Glaiza said. "Encantadia" has a new spin-off series, "Sang'gre." It introduces the newest keepers of the brilyantes: Terra (Bianca Umali), Flamarra (Faith Da Silva), Adamus (Kelvin Miranda), and Deia (Angel Guardian). "Sang'gre" airs on GMA Network from Mondays to Fridays at 8 p.m. after "24 Oras." You can also watch it online via the Kapuso Stream on YouTube. —Carby Rose Basina/MGP, GMA Integrated News

Mission Possible: Clean Schools
The first days of school are often the most exciting part of every student's journey. It's a time to reconnect with friends, meet new teachers, and start fresh. In preparation for this coming school year, schools work harder than ever to strengthen not only their manpower and facilities, but also their safety and sanitation protocols. One of the Department of Education's ongoing goals is to ensure that public schools provide a stimulating, secure space where students can focus, grow, and thrive. As we officially welcome the Balik Eskwela season, it's important to recognize the impact of programs like Brigada Eskwela 2025, a nationwide initiative where school communities come together to prepare classrooms for the year ahead. Anchored on the theme 'Brigada Eskwela: Sama-sama Para sa Bayang Bumabasa,' here's a quick checklist of what an ideal learning environment should look like in line with this year's campaign: 1. Functional desks and chairs Sturdy desks and chairs are basic, but essential. In many public schools, damaged armchairs are still a common sight, but they shouldn't be the norm. Fortunately, even with limited resources, many school communities now take initiative during Brigada Eskwela to repair or replace broken furniture before classes begin. 2. Ample and safe ventilation In our hot and humid climate, proper airflow in classrooms is crucial. With packed classrooms, fans and cooling systems aren't just for comfort; they help reduce the spread of germs and keep students feeling refreshed and focused. 3. Clean rooms and hallways Clean rooms and hallways mean no clutter, markings, or foul odors, and also having freshly swept and mopped floors. It's important to conduct this sanitation routine to not become a source of distraction for students, as dirty classrooms and messy hallways can affect their focus on completing school tasks. 4. Clean and well-maintained restrooms While not part of the classroom, the school restroom is a critical part of the learning space. Students may have difficulty paying attention in class if they avoid using the restroom due to poor sanitation or unpleasant conditions. Studies also show that they're prone to sickness if toilets aren't properly cleaned. That's why using trusted cleaning products matters, like Domex, a disinfectant that kills 99.9% of germs while helping remove visible stains and eliminate odors. They have also been an advocate of promoting proper hygiene, sanitation, and cleanliness in public schools for years already. This 2025, it's the first time Domex has expanded its school initiatives in Visayas and Mindanao to reach and help more pupils. Community Impact: Domex x Yellow Boat of Hope In support of this year's Brigada Eskwela campaign, Domex provided 100 bottles of 900ml Domex, 5 sets of water filters, 20 dippers, and 20 toilet cleaning brushes to 34 schools nationwide. Domex also partnered with the Yellow Boat of Hope Foundation, a non-profit PH organization that helps provide access to children's education, and helped clean and disinfect school restrooms on June 9 and June 11, 2025. Beyond cleaning products, Domex also promotes hygiene education through their Germ-Busting rules: D APAT HINDI PIGILIN ANG PAG-IHI O BSERBAHAN ANG TAMANG PAGHUGAS NG KAMAY M AG-FLUSH NG TOILET EX SA GERMS, MAGLINIS NG BANYO A Clean Future for School Communities At the heart of every Brigada Eskwela effort is one simple goal: to give students the safe, clean, and supportive environment they deserve. The first days of school should be filled with excitement, not worries about dirty classrooms or unusable restrooms. Through Brigada Eskwela and the collective efforts of schools, volunteers, and partners like Domex and the Yellow Boat of Hope Foundation, we're reminded that preparing for the school year goes beyond supplies and schedules. It's about creating a space where students feel safe, supported, and ready to learn from day one. When schools are truly ready, students can focus not on what's lacking, but on what's possible for the bright future ahead of them.

PBDS sets out to help become ‘voice' of NCR landowners
Dr Bayang Teron SIBU (April 30): Parti Bansa Dayak Sarawak (PBDS) has offered itself as the main channel for Native Customary Rights (NCR) landowners in Sarawak, in an effort to resolve the ongoing polemic surrounding the recognition and surveying of such assets. PBDS vice-president Dr Bayang Teron stressed that PBDS was committed to 'being the voice of the Dayak people' in fighting for their NCR land rights, which had been increasingly constrained by the existing policies and legal frameworks. 'PBDS calls upon all NCR landowners to come to our office with complete information and documentation regarding their lands. 'We will collect this data as a strong foundation to advocate for their rights through official negotiations with the Sarawak government,' he said in a statement yesterday. The call was made following a statement by Deputy Premier Datuk Amar Awang Tengah Ali Hasan who previously stated that NCR land currently involved in court disputes would not be surveyed by the government, while those without any disputes could undergo surveying. Commenting further, Bayang said the statement highlighted the need for a new, more inclusive and transparent mechanism to address NCR land issues so that the people would not be continuously marginalised and denied of their rights due to technicalities or lack of official documentation. 'PBDS will not remain silent. 'We will go to the grassroots to hold dialogues with the landowners, collect names and bring all this information to the Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS)-led state government under the leadership of Sarawak Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg, towards seeking the best solution.' Bayang said under the leadership of party president Major (Rtd) Moses Ripai, PBDS was taking a strategic and holistic approach in addressing people's issues, particularly concerning customary land ownership, which had been the lifeblood of the Dayak community for generations. He also called upon Dayak representatives within the GPS government to be 'braver and more responsible' in championing this issue openly. 'This (matter) not only involves legal rights, but also the identity, heritage and dignity of the Dayak people. 'This is not merely an issue of land ownership; it is an issue of the survival of the Dayak ethnic group. 'The relationship between the Dayak community and other ethnic groups in Sarawak largely depends on justice in matters of customary land ownership.' Bayang also stressed that solving the NCR land issue would require genuine political commitment, administrative transparency, and a willingness to listen to the voices from the grassroots. 'PBDS will continue to play its role as a catalyst for the dialogue between the people and the government in the pursuit of social justice and the long-term well-being of the people of Sarawak.'
