In a historic and inspiring moment for Philippine football, Sarina Bolden’s goal made history for the Filipinas, securing their first-ever FIFA World Cup victory and stunning host nation New Zealand with a remarkable 1-0 win in their Group A clash on July 25.

Sarina Bolden, a 24-year-old forward who was born in California to Filipino parents, scored the game-winning goal in the 24th minute. Bolden headed home a cross from Sara Eggesvik to give the Philippines the lead.
For all of the game, New Zealand dominated possession, but they were unable to create many clear-cut chances. Hannah Wilkinson’s header was ruled out for offside in the 68th minute, giving them their best chance.
This accomplishment is perhaps the more remarkable because neither the male nor the female Philippine teams had ever qualified for the World Cup. They also earned the distinction of scoring the first goal for a debutant in this tournament’s edition.
Coach Alen Stajcic praised the group’s spirit and commitment, saying that they exhibited true “puso,” which is Tagalog for “heart” in the country of the Philippines.

The Philippines held on for the victory, their first in any World Cup, to keep their hopes of making the knockout rounds alive. To have a chance of qualifying, the Philippines must defeat Norway in their final group match.
The Philippines’ victory is a big upset, given New Zealand was the match’s favorite. New Zealand has been a World Cup regular since 1991, qualifying for every event. Before 2022, the Philippines has never qualified for the Asian Cup.
The match was played in front of 32,357 attendees at Wellington Regional Stadium, providing an electrifying environment for both teams.

The 46th-ranked Filipinas earned 3 points in their group after two games, adopting a 5-3-2 formation to beat New Zealand 1-0. Bolden’s goal and McDaniel’s crucial saves secured the historic victory. The Philippines’ World Cup dreams remain alive as they face Norway next, while New Zealand will take on Switzerland.
For the Philippines to have a chance of moving on to the knockout stages, they must defeat Norway in their last group match. With a victory, the Philippines would trail New Zealand in the group standings. On the other hand, Norway, the reigning champion, will be an uphill battle. The Philippines, who have demonstrated their ability to compete with anyone, will be confident of pulling off another surprise.

The Philippines’ victory is an outstanding source of inspiration for other Southeast Asian countries. The Philippines has demonstrated that it is feasible to compete with the finest in the world, and other countries in the region will want to emulate them. The Philippines’ victory shows that women’s football is growing in Southeast Asia, and it will be interesting to see how the region evolves in the coming years.

What? The popular blue bird logo on Twitter has now been replaced with an “X.”
A major transformation has swept through the virtual skies of our favorite social media platform.

Elon Musk dropped the bombshell on Sunday just after midnight that Twitter would be getting rid of “all the birds” and leaving the brand it has grown to be famous for two-plus decades.
Musk has said that he wants to make Twitter a more open and free platform for speech, and the new logo may be a reflection of this new direction.
Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino take up the change, referring to it X as a ‘second chance’ to make an impact. Yaccarino also tweeted on her official account that the platform has been progressively emerging over the last eight months, and she ensured that X will be an application that offers ‘everything’ and committed to using AI to increase the platform’s functionality. Along with its fresh look, X has big plans of expanding into related industries like online banking and video chatting.

Musk tweeted on July 15, 2023, that they had lost 50% of their ad revenue and that the company cash flow was not great either. The issue is that Twitter used to make the majority of its money from advertising, but many large corporations withdrew due to reports of explicit and hateful content spreading on the platform.
This beautiful little blue bird has been our digital companion, swooping above our timelines and linking us with news, trends, and friends from all across the globe.
However, as the saying goes, “change is the only constant,” thus, X has made the courageous decision to start a new chapter and wave goodbye to its previous logo and brand.
Confidence breeds strength, and Belo is here to help unleash your confidence from every angle.
Contrary to popular belief, confidence is not only found in a person’s innermost part but also seen on the outside. This is why it is important to take care of your body on the outside as you do on the inside, and Belo Medical Group is here to help you out with that.
Belo Medical Group has been cultivating confidence for almost 33 years with their offered services, especially 360 Liposuction. The 360 Liposuction is what made Belo a trusted brand and name for cosmetic surgery in the Philippines. Because of its top-notch and world-class cosmetic service, it is safe to say it is what put Belo on the map.
360 Liposuction Tried and True Testimonials
Does the 360 Liposuction really work? Well, it wouldn’t put Belo on the map of the world of cosmetic surgery if it didn’t. However, these amazing ladies have tried and can truly say that Belo’s 360 Liposuction works wonders.
The supermom Dani Baretto faced a situation that is common for first-time moms. She felt that she was losing her power to routine and responsibility, and Dani felt like she did not have control of her own body. “When I gave birth, I completely focused on staying at home and being a mom and a wife, and I totally didn’t realize that I forgot myself in the process.”
Next up, with her youthful look and gaming skills, Alodia Gosiengfiao is loved by gamers and supporters alike. Alodia sought the help of 360 Liposuction as she felt that the youth-centered industry thrives in confidence and that she wanted to preserve hers. Alodia thought that natural aging would affect her career confidence, “[With age] comes a lot of pressure to maintain how I look.”
Max Collins has a bit of both dilemmas experienced by Alodia and Dani. Max needed the confidence to look her best. “I was frustrated that I wasn’t achieving my target arms no matter how much I worked out. With a little encouragement from my friends. I tried Belo 360 Liposuction, and I’m glad I did.”
How 360 Liposuction Works Its Magic: Procedure and Aftercare
360 Liposuction is more than your regular lipo procedure. It is done in a circumferential manner where adjacent areas around the problem area are also targeted to get an even look. Moreover, blood loss is also not a problem with the 360 Liposuction since it uses a thin cannula to sunction out fat.
Once the procedure finishes, clients then undergo Belo’s BodyTiteRF. The procedure includes producing heat that aids in stimulating the contraction of the overlaying skin, resulting to a tightening effect. Worried about the pain? Don’t be; the whole procedure is done under local anesthesia with “twilight sedation,” which means it is safer than general anesthesia. For the aftercare, it is generally easier than the lipo you know of since there is significantly less bruising, and downtime is not as long.
Belo’s 360 Liposuction is a bespoke treatment that is given based on the goals and desires of each patient. Each procedure is unique and personalized to address each client’s body concerns. Dani, Alodia, and Max have ended their procedures more than satisfied, all thanks to the 360 Liposuction’s advanced technology and personalized care.
“The next day after the procedure, I was back to streaming. It was painless for me,” Alodia shared. On the other hand, Max stated that, “360 Liposuction has helped my life so much because I no longer have to go on extreme diets or workout multiple times a day. It’s made me healthier knowing that I no longer have to make my body undergo so much stress.”
Exuding confidence as they face challenging lifestyles head on, this is what the girls are left with after the procedure. “When you love yourself and when you feel confident, you feel you can do anything,” says Dani.

Ah, family reunions— it’s either something people look forward to or dread. But in most cases, it’s the latter, especially when there are relatives who judge more than our creator does.
While most people love the idea of family and relatives getting together, others would rather lock themselves in their bedrooms. Why? Well, relatives might serve them a plate of piping-hot insults, especially body shaming.
Although the world is now even more open-minded, other people still do not get the message— body shaming destroys self-esteem. So, Dear Tita, shall we begin?
Dear Tita, here’s a hard pill to swallow.
Are you an aunt, uncle, parent, or relative? This might be a wake-up call for you.
Here’s is your “hard pill to swallow” for today— our body is none of your business. Do not share your opinions when it was never asked in the first place. Oftentimes, the words you utter cause severe emotional distress. Even just one insult can stick to a person for years.
“Uy parang tumaba ka! Napabayaan sa kusina (It looks like you put on some weight! Must have no supervision in the kitchen),”
TITA MARITES, 2023.
Now, the most satisfying response would be a spicy come-back, but let’s be honest, not everyone has the courage to stand up for themselves. You might see your subject of ridicule smile and laugh, but once they are alone, their mind will replay what you said like a broken record player.
Dear Tita, observe the 5-second rule.
Here’s a little tip for you. Always remember the 5-second rule. What is it, you may ask? It’s never to point out a person’s flaw, which they can’t fix in under 5 seconds.
Let’s say you see food stuck between someone’s teeth and point it out; that’s fine. However, if you point out that they have acne or gained some weight, that’s already below the belt. You just pointed out something that takes a long time to deal with.
Dear Tita, We don’t need your unsolicited ‘advice.’
Relatives might think they are doing us a favor by giving us ‘advice.’
“You should try this new diet method.”
“Have you heard of this facial product?”
“You are so thin! You should eat more! Try this…”
But really, unless we ask for it, we don’t need it. Maybe we are okay with how we look or have underlying issues that even your magical diet or facial product can’t fix.
Dear Tita, we are not ‘too Sensitive.’
When we defend ourselves by pointing out that commenting on other people’s bodies is rude, we are suddenly ‘too sensitive.’
No, YOU are actually being insensitive. Your words can have dangerous impacts on individuals. Body shaming can lead to the following:
Eating Disorders
Body Dysmorphic Disorder
Anxiety and Depression
All these can have long-lasting adverse effects, leading to physical and mental health issues.
Dear Tita, just because you are family, it does not mean you have the right to comment on our bodies. You can ask us how we are just like normal people. Sometimes, a simple “how are you” would suffice.
Body shaming is an issue we all need to leave behind. It doesn’t hurt to be nice, and it won’t kill us to keep our opinions to ourselves unless asked.
