The rising global population has been a concerning phenomenon for over the past few decades – but would a decreasing one really be any better?
The growth of the world’s population and its potential effects have long worried scientists. However, according to recent studies commissioned by a non-profit organization called The Club of Rome, the world’s population may peak at 8.6 billion people around 2050 before declining to 6 billion by 2100.

Although this drop may appear contradictory, it raises critical questions about the potential difficulties humans may have to face in the following years.
In this article, we will dive deeper into this research and explore this projected trajectory of global population growth as well as the potential economic and environmental reasons behind this potential fall.
The impending challenge of overpopulation
When the population of a certain area exceeds its carrying capacity and resource availability, it is said to be overpopulated.
Overpopulation is a contemporary problem, especially in the Philippines. With a population of over 110 million and scarce land resources, the nation has tremendous difficulties in maintaining sustainable development and providing basic services.

The demand on already scarce resources is made worse by the fast population growth rate and poor urban planning. As a result, there are issues like crowded cities, traffic, a lack of housing, and more competition for resources and jobs.
At this time, there are roughly 7.9 billion people living on Earth. The world’s population is anticipated to peak at 8.6 billion people by 2050 if present growth rates persist and measures to prevent the expansion are not taken.
The fall
Scientists anticipate that after the expected peak around 2050, the world’s population will begin to drop, contrary to previous expectations. Multiple reasons, including socioeconomic and demographic shifts, are most likely to blame for this reduction.

The cause of this potential population decline will be linked to more equality, or rather, improved access to education for females and general economic progress, according to a paper published by researchers from the Earth4All collective (a group of environment scientists and economists).
Theoretically, as more people—especially women—get adequate education, the total birth rate should decline as more women are encouraged to pursue careers and are made aware of the costs and drawbacks of having more children.
The outcomes of the decline
Earth4All believes that this could result in two ways.
The first anticipates the expansion of the human population by taking into consideration a number of economic and environmental factors, such as the availability of energy, food production, income, and gender equality.

In this scenario, governments around the world can be seen doing more to level the playing field for all genders in terms of education and opportunities, while also turning more green generally. This is seen to be more favorable, of course.
The other less positive outcome foresees a continuing pattern that is more in line with the status quo, with world leaders continuing to ignore urgent issues and carry on creating communities that are vulnerable to collapses, both ecologically and economically.
Overall, there is still much debate on the exact way the population growth and decline will pan out, but Earth4All findings suggest that the expected decline in global population may be either a good or a negative thing, depending on your perspective.
Initiatives are needed to deal with the problems of overpopulation and get ready for a decreasing population.

Governments, policymakers, and individuals must put sustainable development at the top of the priority list and make investments in healthcare and education, encourage responsible consumption, and put laws in place that support a balanced demographic transition.
I know there is still a long way forward, but as early as now we have to adopt a holistic approach that balances our needs as humans. In that way, we can navigate the complexities of population dynamics without worry and strive for a future that ensures our well-being, along with the planet we call home.

“NO EXCUSES!” Legally blind student from CNU passes the LET 2023 and graduates as cum laude with flying colors!
Cyril Bergado, a fresh graduate from Cebu Normal University, is an intelligent and hard-working cebuana who has a difficult time seeing, due to problems with her impaired vision.
Photo from Gino Sumalinog
Yet even with her condition, Cyril still faced life head-on and worked herself off and has now graduated cum laude from CNU.
Cyril recognized her strengths above her disabilities, even when times were tough.
An instance of her amazing talents is when she took her LET board exam, where people thought she needed to use braille in order to answer the questions, yet aced it with just simple dictation!
Photo from Gino Sumalinog Photo from Gino Sumalinog
In addition to this achievement, Cyril is also known to be active in extracurricular activities, such as role plays and events. Her teacher even put her in a “Special and Inclusive Education” class, was asked to make a report, and as expected by everyone, she got full marks.
Even though she was the only girl in her batch to have visual problems, she did not see this as a flaw and used this as a source of motivation to work harder.
Through it all, her mother was supportive of her, and would always be there for her after every class, often waiting for her to finish their discussion in order to talk or take her home. Motherly love sure can help a child reach such great heights!
Photo from Gino Sumalinog
In the end, Cyril achieved the fruits of her hard work, graduating cum laude and passing her teacher board exam. She really took the phrase “No excuses” seriously and made it look easy. It just goes to show that everyone should strive to be as diligent as her whenever life seemingly becomes strenuous at times.
Aside from long lines and unattentive staff, one of the most annoying things about getting a driver’s license is the expensive medical certificates. But don’t worry; LTO has some good news for you.
Photo from Merx Mercado
The Land Transportation Office (LTO) announced on May 22, 2023, that they are setting the medical examination fees at P300 pesos. The fee applies to accredited medical clinics and health facilities.
“Hindi po natin maisasantabi ang maraming reklamo kaugnay ng sobrang mahal ng pagkuha ng medical certificate na ang iba ay nagbabayad ng P500 hanggang P700. Mabigat na ang halaga na ito para sa ating mga ordinaryong mamamayan”,
FORMER LTO CHIEF JAY ART TUGADE STATED.
On the same day, Tugade also announced his resignation.
Photo from LTO Facebook Page
Moreover, the P300 fee will cover the tests needed by student drivers, new non-professional drivers, and new conductors, as well as those who will renew and upgrade their licenses from non-professional to professional drivers.
LTO also noted that facilities and clinics that do not comply with the order would face penalties and suspensions such as:
First Offense: Accreditation suspension for up to 90 days with a P10,000 fine
Second Offense: Accreditation suspension for up to 180 days with a P15,000 fine
Third offense: Revocation of accreditation, perpetual disqualification as an LTO-accredited Medical clinic or health facility.
If you have an iPhone, you probably have a weekly Screen Time Report, and let’s be honest, we all are guilty of ignoring it.
Let’s face it; even if we are aware or not, we are spending too much time scrolling on our smartphones. And guess what? We Filipinos have the highest average screen time.
Photo from Asterio Baja Bagayas III
According to a report by Electronics Hub, an electronics information website, we spend a third of our day scrolling on our phones. Filipinos have the highest digital dependence in Asia at 32.53%. In addition, our screen time is at 54.44%, which makes it the third-highest globally. Moreover, 70 million out of 110 million people in the Philippines are smartphone users.
Meanwhile, the Philippines ranks 8th at 21.91% regarding computer screen time. On the other hand, we spend about 21.91 percent on social media, which makes us the highest. Of course, gaming is included; Filipinos spend their time playing games at 8.75 percent.
Indeed, our phones are now an essential part of our life. We use it for work, school, and leisure. However, it does not mean we should become slaves of electronic devices. On the contrary, every once in a while, it is nice to let go of our phones, laptops, and computers and just enjoy the moment we have.

The next time you see your weekly screen time report, take that as a sign to put down your phone. The question is, will you be able to? Now, that’s a challenge.
For most Cebuanos, hearing the words “Royal Concourse” evokes a lot of good memories from the past.
Photos of what it once was recently started circulating online which reignited a wave of sentiment among locals who flooded the comments with their memories.
Photo from Joan Llamedo
Once located in Gorordo Avenue, the budget-friendly family buffet used to echo with laughter and joy among a sumptuous feast. This renowned restaurant has been a beloved establishment in Cebu City ever since it first opened its doors in 1992.
Sadly, in late 2017, the cherished Royal Concourse said goodbye for good, leaving a path of nostalgia and sentimental memories in its wake.
But just what makes Royal Concourse so cherished? Let us find out!
A witness to numerous special moments
Cebuanos held a particular place in their hearts for Royal Concourse. It became a popular gathering place because of its reputation as a low-cost family buffet.
The restaurant gave families the chance to indulge in a pleasant meal without going over budget because of its vast selection of meals, which included both regional specialties and foreign cuisine.
Photo from Louie John (Louie)Photo from Janet Elnas
Numerous reunions, anniversaries, and birthdays were commemorated in the welcoming atmosphere of Royal Concourse.
The location has held a wide variety of events over the years, from corporate banquets to intimate gatherings. For a lot of locals, it was the perfect location for weddings, conferences, and other social functions.
Forever etched in the hearts of those who experienced them are the memories made within the walls of Royal Concourse.
Closure and legacy
Maybe all good things must come to an end.
The end of an era was marked in 2017 when Royal Concourse closed its doors after 25 years of service in the Cebuano neighborhood.
Photo from francis familarPhoto from Nikki Kristine Villaro
The impact it had on Cebu’s culinary scene and the memories it sparked cannot be overwritten, despite the fact that the reasons for its closure are still unclear.
While new buffets have emerged throughout the city to fill the void, the nostalgia associated with Royal Concourse remains unmatched.
Even if its doors may be shut, the memories and experiences it gave us will always be cherished since they serve as a reminder of an era when people in Cebu enjoyed spending time together around the table.

To Joshua Garcia, luxury has become a state of mind.
In the world of showbiz, many associate success with wealth; lavish lifestyles that incorporate everything expensive – from Italian gold jewelry to supercars – is the sign that you have accomplished much in life. However, the heartthrob has realized that maybe this way of living is not for him.
Photo from garciajoshuae on Instagram
Like many celebrities, Garcia was once enthralled by the glitz and glamor of life. When you are among stars, it is easy to get caught up in the allure of grandiosity. Although many dream of such a financial situation, many of us also fail to realize that the ideal life does not solely revolve around money, but in comfort.
Garcia’s newfound revelation caused him to downsize and simplify the way he lived.The actor disclosed that he had sold both his Dodge Challenger automobile and his Triumph Bonneville T150 motorcycle as he believed they were not practical to have in the Philippines. He stated that he believes he should stick to the things he really needs.

For many of us, parting ways with our investments can be something so challenging, especially when you have worked hard for it. However, Garcia’s transformative journey teaches us that true fulfillment lies in living a life aligned with our authentic selves, regardless of societal expectations.
Tell the guards to open up the gates as Disney’s Frozen transcends beyond the silver screen! Who is up for an icy blast?
Photo from Disney Parks YouTube Channel
If you are one of the many Filipino tourists who have been looking to travel to HongKong to visit the dearly beloved Disneyland, then you are in luck – a real life Arendelle is in the works!
Frozen-themed rides will be available throughout this new world of Frozen. It will be home to the iconic castle that you have seen on TV, along with Frozen-themed coasters that take you into an icy wonderland that looks as though Elsa herself made it.
Photo from Disney Parks YouTube ChannelPhoto from Disney Parks YouTube Channel
Apart from the rides, it is not called a theme park unless it involves stalls and restaurants that scream Frozen; these are also available for guests to explore!
In late 2022, we got a glimpse of what the theme park is set to be like, and now that we are nearing its opening November this year, we are getting closer to the icy wonderland being up for show.
Elsa did say to never go back as the past is in the past, but look forward to stepping inside the world of Frozen and spark your childhood joy with the magical wonders unfolding before your eyes!
