Rizz is slang for charm or being attractive. Moreover, out of 8 nominated words for Word of the Year (WOTY), Rizz came out on top. The words that didn’t make it to the cut were “Swiftie, Beige flag, and situationship.

The words are chosen by the public and are narrowed down to four. The WOTY is then decided by language experts at the Oxford University Press.
“During a year, societal changes can often affect our language: both the words themselves, but also the way in which we use certain words. Sometimes these changes are ephemeral, meaning that although the word is used now, it may not be used (or used in the same way) in the future,” the Oxford University Press wrote.

According to Later’s social media glossary, the term was first used by a video creator, Kai Cenat. He used the word as a joke with his friends.
According to the Department of Health, there has been a spike in confirmed pneumonia cases in the Philippines in the first 10 months of the year.

Moreover, DOH has reported 158,762 pneumonia cases from January to October. In addition, Ho also stated that more cases should be expected during the cooler months and that wearing face masks is an effective way to protect ourselves from respiratory sickness.

Furthermore, pneumonia has also become a global concern, with reports of increased respiratory illness cases in China.
“Given this, the DOH also continuously works to further mitigate cases in the country through strengthened monitoring (and) implementing catch-up immunization and outbreak response immunization strategies, especially in areas with increasing incidence of vaccine-preventable diseases,” said DOH

In addition, Ho said that if a person has had coughs for more than two weeks, they have to consult a doctor immediately since symptoms can lead to something severe.
In perhaps one of the most famous and shocking controversies in Philippine show business, online personality Xian Gaza expressed his insights in a Facebook Live video following his sentiments regarding the breakup of KathNiel, way before the former couple confirmed the rumors via Instagram post.
Photo from Nyeam Vlogs on Facebook
A lot of rumors have already circulated online prior to any confirmation from big personalities. An anonymous Twitter user posted a long thread revealing the incidents only using the initials of the celebrities involved.
Photo from Christian Albert Gaza on Facebook
Netizens, because of Xian’s statement about the issue way before the confirmation, regard him as a reliable source, hence the noise his Facebook Live made both on the internet and various news outlets. It is important to note that none of these allegations are confirmed to be true, save for the breakup itself that was affirmed by Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla. To summarize his live video, here is everything that went down.
Photo from Bandera News
He first defended Ogie Diaz’s credibility in the show business industry due to his veteran status, shutting down people who questioned what he had to say about current issues. He then proceeded to talk about the long-standing infidelity of Daniel Padilla to Kathryn Bernardo.
Photo from PEP.ph
According to Xian, in the span of the 11 years they spent together as a couple, he has cheated multiple times despite Bernardo having forgiven him and given him a lot of chances to act right. However, she was never in the position to cut ties with him due to their contract, and as she mentioned in her Instagram post, she truly did love Padilla.
Photo from @blythe on Instagram
Touching on the involvement of Andrea Brillantes, Xian mentioned how she and Padilla have seen each other a lot despite still being in a relationship with Ricci Rivero. It was said that this was Bernardo’s breaking point to finally cut ties with him, and ultimately unfollowing Brillantes on social media. Even if it was never confirmed whether or not Bernardo and Padilla were still together when Brillantes came in, it was still a big issue for Bernardo considering their history of working with Brillantes, with the latter having been considered a little sister to them in past projects. Padilla showed no hesitation to come over to her place after her breakup with Rivero.
He added that Padilla had encountered multiple women inside a decade and a year, however, the women had no interest in saying anything considering his star status as well as his powerful family.
Photo from _gillianvicencio on Instagram
One of these women happened to be Gillian Vicencio who talked about her underwhelming intimate encounter with Padilla to her friend Sue Ramirez. Ramirez passed it onto Sofia Andres, who is one of Bernardo’s best friends.
The Facebook Live went on more about Brilliantes’ history of cheating with men in relationships, including Rivero whom she allegedly entertained while being with Seth Fedelin.
Photo from Candymag.com
One of the biggest takes one might have regarding this whole controversy is perhaps something Liza Soberano has already mentioned. The hyperfixation of the Philippine industry on love teams definitely has a lot of downfalls—from indefinitely tying two people together for commercial success, to how this ultimately impacts their personal relationships and decisions. The internet’s reaction is divided; some blaming Brilliantes for being a third party, some blaming both her and Padilla for doing Bernardo wrong.
Photo from Inquirer Entertainment
Some people do defend Brilliantes. Not in a way that is condoning everything she is accused of in this particular situation, but in a way that paints her as a vulnerable individual who at a very young age encountered a very well-known public figure who is almost a decade older than her. Minority of the people point out the power imbalance that occurred in the situation. They also point out the misogyny at play considering how inferior the callouts and name-calling Padilla is receiving compared to her.

Ultimately, the controversy only clearly shows the partiality of an audience, and how as watchers, we truly have no idea what goes on behind the cameras, even and especially with powerful male figures that have established themselves so well in the industry.
What makes gifts special is their peculiarity. Well, maybe not even exactly that, but how well we are able to discern whether or not a certain loved one would appreciate something, especially with its being unusual.
We all know how people react whenever they receive either a wall clock or a mug during Christmas, so if you want to get a newfound reaction from those you plan to give to this holiday season, you might want to explore these options.
1. Dancing Cactus Toy
There are two reasons why you’re likely to give someone a dancing cactus toy for Christmas: it’s either that this someone is a toddler who needs a magical intelligent cactus who sings and dances, or this someone is just an adult who has a thing for magical intelligent cacti who sing and dance just because.
Either way, getting this gift for someone is a great idea because who else could even think about this gift except you, reader who searched “Unusual Christmas Gifts” online or clicked on the article that said so. Make your receiver feel special, or maybe just make them laugh. Get them the cactus!
House supplies might feel boring at this point, and maybe young adults can consider them “too adulting” considering their likely inclination to their teenage years. What better way to get a blanket than to have it in the form of a burrito?
There are always better ways to upgrade a simple gift, and to have it more customized and artsy makes all the difference. For the kikay girls and boys out there, and for sure you have at least one of them in your circle, these food-inspired hairpins are the perfect gift to give them on Christmas.
Then, the sentiment “You have food stuck in your hair” will have a completely different meaning.
If you have a friend or a loved one who just likes to give themselves more problems as a hobby, this personalized jigsaw puzzle is perfectly suited for them. While the thought of assembling tiny pieces of a bigger picture, whatever it may be, is already entertaining to these people, how much more if this picture is something that’s closer to home?
Surprise your friends with a personalized jigsaw puzzle, and I swear you’ll make their Christmas!
Oh, it’s weird, alright. Maybe if you take your first look at this gift, all that plays in your head is Cardi B’s “WHAT WAS THE REASON?!” but to others you may know, it can be everything they wanted.
If you’re wondering how people who wear this will walk, maybe just leave it to those who don’t actually wear things for convenience and just feed into their weird fantasy. It is Christmas, after all.
We’ve heard of hotdog dogs, but let’s try to be a little more inclusive to other species this holiday season. If you have a friend who is just all over cats, this is a very thoughtful gift to give them.
Perfect for cuddling and putting one of your legs on when sleeping, this gift comes in different sizes from 50 centimeters, 90, to 130.
I remember a time when everyone at school was carrying a fidget spinner. Maybe humans just like to do something with their hands when they’re not really doing anything (while I do know that some people actually use it to deal with anxiety and stress). This is a perfect variant to have as an addendum to stress or fidget toys. Nothing cuter than having a pink porky ball to squeeze randomly.
I don’t know what it is, but there is definitely something so appealing about mere huge eyes. May they be of a dog’s, a cat’s, or a pillow that’s not really anything but a black backdrop.
This gift is kind of unusual, but is definitely cute. Who knows, you might have a friend who’s very much into eyes.
If you’ve lived through the pandemic, then you know how much the internet gagged over that Manny Pacquiao face mask. Of course, face masks, since their proclaimed necessity have become fashion statements, and if you have a friend who’s just here for a good time, then these facial expression masks are perfect for them no matter how ridiculous they look. Maybe that’s not even a “no matter” situation, but the exact reason why they like this item.
As uncanny and funny these gifts can be, I can almost say it’s Halloween on Christmas.
Whenever I search for something I want to buy and I see that it’s labeled under kids’ items, I purse my lips and blurt out a laugh that can mean just anything. Either way, nobody tells me what to buy, and thankfully, only I know my purchasing history. This biting crocodile is still for toddlers, but who’s to say what’s for whom?
It’s fun, it’s cute, and I like reptiles. Maybe your friend does too.
Sometimes I find products online that make me question how much demand there was for industries to actually manufacture such things. This poo squishy is an example, and I know for a fact that a lot of people do enjoy these kinds of gifts and honestly, good for them!
This unusual toy is mostly used for pranks, but of course, a fidget toy as well which you can squeeze whenever you feel like it. Make everyone’s heads turn and go get this item.
This item made noise on the internet because of how cute it is. There are two kinds of octopus plushies: one where it has a happy side and an angry side, and another that has an angry side and an even angrier side. I personally love the latter.
The Cebu Cordova Link Expressway (CCLEX) is already an icon in itself. However, it’s about to get even more exciting.

CCLEX will soon introduce the first ever “Drive and Dine” in the whole Visayas. The Drive and Dine attraction will take the form of a three-deck cruise ship. Moreover, it will be built in a 5,580 square-meter-vacant lot that sports a faultless view of the mangroves, the city, and the ocean.

Furthermore, the estimated cost of building the new attraction is P300 million.

As mentioned, the Drive and Dine attraction will have three decks. The first floor will house fast food restaurants, while the second floor will be designed for couples looking for a romantic place to dine. Moreover, the third floor is all about Cebuano dishes and barbecues.
In an interview with CNN Philippines, Renie Ticzon, MPT Mobility Division Head for Motorway Commercial Facilities, said that the place will be able to accommodate 1,000 people and has a parking space for 280 cars.

The target date for the facility to be operational is before 2024 ends.

Photography is more than just “picture picture lang.” What we don’t know is that it opens doors for those who dream of turning their life around.
Photo from Charles Nuñez on Facebook
Take this college student, for example; through his passion, he is able to earn and build his dreams from the ground up. Let’s take a look at this incredible story of a 20-year-old student who learned photography to fund his picture-perfect education.
The Sugboanon: Charles Nuñez Story
Photo from Charles Nuñez on Facebook
Charles Nuñez is a 20-year-old college student who is pursuing Criminology. He wants to become a police officer because he wants to help and give service to the community. Ever since he was a kid, he admired those in uniform and wanted to become like them someday.
But what’s even more impressive is that he funds his own education through photography.
Photo from Charles Nuñez on Facebook
According to Charles, before he stepped into the world of shutters and lenses, he had no plans or goals. His world revolves around games and fun. It was not until such time that a friend of his, Jed, introduced him to photography and videography.
Photo from Charles Nuñez on Facebook
Once that young man held a camera for the first time, he was instantly hooked. Moreover, his first gig was a birthday, so his love for photography sparked.
Lights, Camera, Rent
Charles did not start with his equipment. He shared that he would borrow a camera from his friend or rent one.
“Wala ko naghuna-huna sa akong ma kuha nga fee, ang ako lang jud kay gusto ko makat-on ug photography”
Charles mentioned that many professional photographers allow people to rent cameras, which is why he started from there.
Tearjerker Films can happen in real life, too
In a chapter of his life, Charles’ parents separated. His dad stopped supporting him, and not soon after, so did his mom. It happened between the 6th grade and the first year of junior high school.
He thought negatively about the situation. He thought he would never be able to finish school and achieve his dreams. But, just like a camera, a thought flashed through his mind,
“What if gamiton nako akong skills sa photography aron maka human ko ug skwela? What if ipadayon nako akong goal nga mahimong police.”
And thus. His words turned gold as he became an on-call photographer for Sugbo.ph. But that came with the price of balancing both his studies and his part-time job. He even questioned if he will be able to pay of his tuition fees just with his part-time gig alone. But, in God’s grace, he was able to work it all out in the end.
“Basta ganahan gyud ka, buhaton gyud nimo tanan. Maong ako gibuhat tanan para sa akong kinabuhi ug akong future family.”
His Very First Camera
Photo from Charles Nuñez on Facebook
We asked Charles to tell us about his very first camera, and he revealed that the people who gave him a camera, which opened many doors for him, was his girfriend’s parents. They saw how his photography gig earnings mostly go to his camera rentals, which left Charles with little savings.
Because they saw his talent and perseverance, they offered to buy the camera for him and have Charles’ mom pay them little by little. However, the young photographer stated that his mom abandoned him.
You would think the camera would be forfeited, but no. His partner’s parents still bought him the camera and gave it to him. Charles was eternally grateful for their kind gestures.
Photo from Charles Nuñez on Facebook
“Gusto nako pasalamatan ang family sa akong partner kay sila ang nisalo ug nitabang nako. Sila ang nagsilbling pamilya nako. Ang kuwang sa akong parents, sila ang mao’y naghatag. Sila ang nakapa feel nako ug love.”
He also expressed his gratitude for his girlfriend, Zoe, who is always with him every step of the way.

“Siyempre sa akong girlfriend. Everyday ko niya sultian unsa akong dapat buhaton ug unahon.”
From One Photographer to Another
With his experiences, Charles has something to say to fellow photographers or those who aspire to be photographers but don’t have their own equipment.
Photo from Charles Nuñez on Facebook
“ Sa mga photographers or gusto gyud mahimong photographer nga way equipments, sama nako before, there are a lot of professional photographers who you can approach to rent out a camera from. Just make sure na kahibaw ka mu amping sa equipment. And, don’t expect your first gig to earn big bucks, we all got to start somewhere.”
He also expressed encouraging words to those who support their own dreams.
“Push lang jud Train yourself to be confident and show what you have and what your skills are.”

What wonders photography does. It allows you to capture moments and memories that you cherish. And for Charles, photography is more than just a click, it allows him to get a snapshot of his future, one shutter at a time.
As a lot of you may already know, Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla, fondly known as KathNiel, announced their heartbreaking decision to part ways on November 30. The Filipino entertainment industry along with their fans mourns the departure of this iconic celebrity couple who was integral in prime time television. Despite the breakup and the rumors circulating around the internet regarding the reasons why, a lot still hold their tandem close to their hearts, either because they truly adore the former couple, or are just nostalgic as both of them were a big part of a generation growing up.

This is the history of projects they have worked on together, as well as their personal endeavors as individuals cementing their careers.

KathNiel’s on-screen journey commenced with the afternoon series “Growing Up” in 2011, where Kathryn portrayed volleyball player Elle, and Daniel played her teammate Patrick. This laid the foundation for a partnership that would blossom into something beyond the screens. They already had individual projects prior to the love team being spearheaded, and even during the early stages – with Kathryn in “Goin’ Bulilit” and “Mara Clara,” and Daniel in “Gimik: The Series.”

The chemistry resonated, leading to their first primetime TV series, “Princess and I,” in April 2012. The show became a hit, captivating audiences over its success. This was followed by their first movie collaboration, “24/7 in Love,” where Daniel played the role of celebrity Billy, and Kathryn played the character Jane.
2013-2015: ‘Must Be… Love’ and ‘She’s Dating the Gangster’

In 2013, “Must Be… Love” was released wherein the love team portrayed best friends Patchot and Ivan who discover deeper feelings for each other. The same year, their MMFF debut in “Pagpag: Siyam na Buhay” showcased their versatility in the horror genre.

The turning point came in 2014 with “She’s Dating the Gangster.” Directed by Cathy Garcia-Molina, this rom-com, adapted from a Wattpad book, not only grossed P296 million but also solidified KathNiel as a powerhouse couple, with fans speculating about their real-life romance.

Dramatic roles followed in 2015 with “Crazy Beautiful You” and the teleserye remake of “Pangako Sa ‘Yo,” where they took on roles displaying emotional depth and intensity.

In 2019, KathNiel decided to take a hiatus from joint projects to focus on individual growth. This didn’t deter their loyal fanbase. Kathryn’s collaboration with Alden Richards in “Hello, Love, Goodbye” in 2019 became the highest-grossing Filipino film, showcasing her versatility and ability to succeed outside the KathNiel tandem.

Amidst the ABS-CBN shutdown in May 2020, the couple faced challenges as fans launched the #WeBlockAsOne movement.

With the amount of loved ones we have as well as responsibilities, expensive gifts are a luxury most of us just can’t afford. But thankfully, we live in a time where a lot of things are very accessible, especially with the rise of online shopping.
Photo from Unsplash
Booming especially during the pandemic, both Shopee and Lazada have become staples in the world of shopping. Here, options are wider and definitely much cheaper, drawing more and more people to rely on them for personal use.
Strategically using this to our advantage, here is a list of Christmas gifts under P100 that you can get for your friends and family:
1. Christmas Scented Candle
For just P45 to P55, you can choose from blue wind chime, ocean, jasmine flower, and a lot more for this gift.
Accessories sometimes complete an entire simple outfit. Suede caps have always been in style, and it goes with a lot of fashion choices regardless which era of trends you are more inclined to. Caps go with 90’s-inspired outfits, grunge aesthetic, and basic modern clothing.
For P62, you can get your friends such a gift that’ll keep that James Dean daydream look. If you’re a Swiftie, then you’ll most likely be into this item because of its print. Go see for yourself.
Every Christmas season, a lot of your friends or maybe even you yourself are probably anticipating to get a Starbucks planner which is a) hard to attain because of the number of stickers you have to collect to be able to avail one, and b) costly.
With the same utility and a much lesser price, you can get a planner for P79. Hardbound and complete with the necessary details that make up a planner, this is the perfect gift for all the organized girlies (and boys) in your circle of friends.
With no doubt do we all have coffee-obsessed loved ones, and this is definitely a gift that will make them feel deeply thought of. For P81, you can get this item which can hold up to two medium cups, and has a pretty minimalistic design as well.
It can’t get better and cheaper than this, so go and make someone’s Christmas!
Of course you’ll meet the infamous ever-present gift during the exchanging gifts segment in a Christmas party here. The edge that we have in an online shopping era is that these simple treats wouldn’t be met with an eye roll or a scoff the moment the receiver opens it. There are so many options online that give you a wide array of design choices which you can perfectly match with your friend’s personality.
Getting a design that caters to someone’s specific interests changes all preconceived feelings towards getting a mug as a gift. So, maybe give this gift a try.
A gift you can never go wrong with is one that makes a place a lot prettier and cozier. With a moon lamp, you’re able to make your friend’s nightstand look like it’s from a Pinterest board, and the warm light undoubtedly makes the feeling of being in that room ambient.
Powered with a USB and illuminated by a LED light, this 3D projection of a moon would either catch someone’s eyes, or help them sleep better. It’s a win-win either way.
Now don’t be mad yet for seeing the mugs’ cousin on this list, hear me out. If you want to give that coffee press a friend since perhaps you want to be more giving and creative this holiday season, imagine how much pairing it with a glass coffee cup completes the set?
For P45, you can buy this item in multiple colors. It comes with a lid, a straw, and a protective cover in the upper half of the cup for hot drinks.
Similar to the moon lamp, these 3D crystal balls will also surely complete someone’s room. You have lots of options to choose from regarding what kind of lamp you want to have, may it be a 3D projection of a galaxy, a whale swimming in a sea of stars, and some Christmas designs as well. The prices range from P95 to P99.
With everyone’s love for boba (and most probably your friend’s), it’s a good idea to give it to them in plushie form. For only P69, you can get this item with four different colors to choose from. It comes in the size of 8 inches, but is definitely wide enough to cuddle with all that cotton stuffing.
A bracelet is such a dainty idea for a gift and one that will always be appreciated. Since childhood, it has always been a symbol of connection and bond and has infiltrated our lives in many ways including the lettered friendship bracelets we’ve exchanged with the kids we’ve played with, loom bands, and even during our recollection in sixth grade.
Well, the sentimentality of bracelets doesn’t quite end there. Like mother said in You’re On Your Own, Kid, make (buy, haha) the friendship bracelets, take the moment and taste it.
I remember the rise of basic tees in 2014-2015 and how everyone was getting a minimalist print of anything they can think of. Such a fashion choice goes well with current trends since basic clothes are still on trend, and especially the neutral tones coupled with the versatility of black and white.
For P69, you can take a friend back to 2014-2015, all while fitting in the fashion standards of 2023.
Okay, at this point, you might want to throw hands for seeing another liquid holder variant the third time in the list, but hear me out again!
Since the pandemic, we’ve seen how current needs ultimately transcend into fashion statements the more we have to use it, e.g. masks which later on became a necessity to match with our outfits or generally just our vibe. Now I’m not saying it’s a necessity to buy a cute water bottle, but if you or your friends are someone who cares about what water holder is hanging by your hands, then this might be a good option for you to have as a gift.
Almost everyone is carrying an Aquaflask, and man, is that expensive. A nice water bottle that wouldn’t hurt the pocket too much is definitely a nice idea to give someone, considering that we all do in fact drink water regardless of the appeal of what they come in. Get your affordable water tumblers now!
The value of giving someone something truly doesn’t lie on the monetary value of that something. Keeping track of someone’s interests, thinking of someone the moment you see a certain item, and dedicating the time and money (no matter how cheap) to get it for them definitely are the definitions of thoughtfulness. So go explore your options, and may you all have a happy holiday season!
