SSS may 10% taas-pension simula Setyembre INANUNSYO ng Social Security System (SSS) na tatanggap ang lahat ng pensioners ng dagdag na 10% taas sa kanilang monthly retirement at disability pension simula sa Setyembre 2026.

Posted on: February 28th, 2026 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

Sa ilalim ng three-year pension reform program, makatatanggap ng dagdag na pensyon ang mga miyembro nito kada Setyembre para sa mga taong 2025 hanggang 2027.

Bukod dito sinabi ni SSS President Robert Joseph de Claro na may 5% increase rin sa death at survivor pension ngayong taon.

Nilinaw din ni de Claro na walang magiging pagtaas sa kontribusyon ng mga miyembro nito hanggang 2027.

Aniya, pagkatapos ng ikatlong taon, ang mga pensiyon ay dapat sana tumaas ng humigit-kumulang 33% para sa mga retirement at disability pensioners, at 16% sa death at survivorship pensioners.

Aabot sa 3.9 million pensioners ang makikinabang sa pension hike initiative.

Tiniyak ng SSS na malakas ang financial performance ng tanggapan kung kaya walang ipatutupad na increase sa kontribusyon.

Para sa 2025, iniulat ng SSS na lumagpas sa P1 trilyon ang reserve fund nito, kung saan ang kabuuang assets ay lumago ng 22.1% at umabot sa P1.261 trilyon, mula sa P1.033 trilyon noong 2024.

Nakitaan din ang pension fund ng pinakamataas na net income sa kasaysayan, na umabot sa P142.97 bilyon, mas mataas ng 58.4% mula sa P90.248 bilyon noong 2024.

Samantala, ang kabuuang kita ng SSS ay umabot sa P460.61 ­bilyon, tumaas ng 21.4% taun-taon.

Tutukan ang huling 3 linggo ng “Roja”… DONNY at KYLE, sasagarin na ang pagsagupa sa pinakamalaking laban

Posted on: February 28th, 2026 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

SASAGARIN na nina Donny Pangilinan at Kyle Echarri ang pakikipagsagupaan para sa pinakamalaki nilang laban sa mas maaksyon na huling tatlong linggo ng Kapamilya teleseryeng “Roja.”

Matinding pasabog ang hatid ng “final escape” trailer na inilabas ng ABS-CBN kamakailan kung saan masusubok ang samahan at prinsipyo nina Liam (Donny) at Olsen (Kyle Echarri) sa gitna ng tumitinding sigalot laban sa grupo ng hostage-takers sa pangunguna ni Emil (Joel Torre).

Manganganib kasi ang relasyon ng mag-inang Liam at Greta (Lorna Tolentino) matapos mabulgar na si Greta nga ang utak sa likod ng hostage-taking sa La Playa Roja. Sa kabilang banda, magtutuos na rin si Olsen laban kay Homer (Christian Vasquez), ang pinaghihinalaan niyang tunay niyang ama na kasabwat din ng kalaban.

Sa kabila ng personal na alitan, malalagay naman sa alanganin ang buhay ni Liam dahil harap-harapan siyang babarilin ni Emil para makamit na nito ang matagal na niyang inaasam na paghihiganti laban sa pamilya Roja.

Ibubuwis din nina Liam at Olsen ang kanilang buhay sa huling pagkakataon upang subukang iligtas ang mga natitirang hostage na nakakulong sa isang tunnel sa ospital na kargado ng mga bomba.

Makakamit kaya nina Liam at Olsen ang hustisya para sa bawat buhay na nawala sa nangyaring trahedya?

Para mapanood ang huling tatlong linggo ng “Roja” sa Kapamilya Channel sa ALLTV2, buksan ang inyong digital black box, pindutin ang scan button sa remote control, at hanapin ang ALLTV2.

Tutukan ang maaksyong pagtatapos ng “Roja,” gabi-gabi tuwing Lunes hanggang Biyernes ng 8:45 PM, sa Kapamilya Channel sa ALLTV2, A2Z, at Kapamilya Online Live sa YouTube at Facebook. Napapanood din ang pinakabagong mga episode ng serye 72 oras na mas maaga sa Netflix at 48 oras na mas maaga sa iWant. Maaari rin itong mapanood sa labas ng Pilipinas sa pamamagitan ng The Filipino Channel (TFC) sa cable at IPTV. (ROHN ROMULO)

Turismo sa pelikula at telebisyon ay dapat tutukan.. Rep. ARJO, naniniwalang malaki ang maitutulong nito sa Pilipinas

Posted on: February 28th, 2026 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

MALAKI ang paniniwala ni Quezon City Rep. Arjo Atayde na ang turismo sa pelikula at telebisyon ay makatutulong sa Pilipinas na sumikat sa entablado ng mundo at magdala ng mga bagong pagkakataon para lumago ito.

Sinabi ni Arjo sa isang panayam, na ang kailangang kumilos ngayon ang Pilipinas para hindi mawalan ang malalaking oportunidad sa turismo, trabaho, at pandaigdigang atensyon sa ibang mga bansa.

“Movies and TV shows do more than just entertain us. They inspire people to visit places, improve how others see our country, and turn filming spots into popular tourist destinations,” pahayag ng aktor-politiko na anak ni Sylvia Sanchez.

Hinihimok ni Arjo ang mabilis na pag-apruba sa House Bill No. 384, na naglalayong gawing institusyonal ang turismo sa pelikula at telebisyon bilang isang pambansang estratehiya sa ekonomiya.

Paliwanag ng aktor, proud ang mga Pinoy kapag ipinakita ang Pilipinas sa world stage. Kapag nakikita ng mga tao ang ating bansa sa mga pelikula o TV, nagiging interesado sila sa ating kultura, tradisyon, at mga tao.

Ang panukalang batas ay naglalayon na magtatag ng isang sistema na ginagawang mas madali at mas kaakit-akit para sa mga lokal at internasyonal na filmmaker na mag-shoot sa Pilipinas. Sa mas mahusay na suporta at mas simpleng mga panuntunan, mas maraming produksiyon ang maaaring dumating.

Katuwiran pa niya, sa ibang mga bansa ay nagsusumikap para makaakit ng mga proyekto ng pelikula sa pamamagitan ng pag-aalok ng mga espesyal na deal at ginagawang mas madali para sa mga gumagawa ng pelikula na magtrabaho roon.

“If we don’t keep up, the Philippines could miss out on jobs, new infrastructure, more tourists, and global recognition,” tugon pa ng congressman ng 1st District ng QC.

Ipinaliwanag pa niya na ang turismo sa pelikula ay isang magandang paraan para maisulong ang ating bansa. Ang isang pelikula ay maaaring magpakita ng ating magagandang lugar sa loob ng maraming taon.

Sa streaming at pandaigdigang mga manonood, ang ganitong uri ng pagkakalantad ay tumatagal sa buong taon.

Magbubukas ang naturang panukalang batas ng mas maraming pintuan para sa mga Filipino artist, crew, at creative worker na sumali sa mga internasyonal na produksyon.

Makatutulong ito sa ating industriya ng pelikula na lumago at lalong kilalanin ang Pilipinas sa buong mundo.

“This is not just about culture,” giit ng aktor. “It is also a way to boost our economy, create jobs, and attract investment.”

Dagdag pa ng asawa ni Maine Mendoza, laging handa ang Pilipinas para sa spotlight. Ngayon, kailangan natin ng sistema upang matiyak na ang ating mga komunidad at ekonomiya ay makikinabang sa tuwing may gagawing pelikula rito.

TINGOG Education Bills, inaprubahan ng House Panel.

APROBADO na ng House Committee on Basic Education and Culture ang tatlong priority bills na layong solusyunan ang krisis sa edukasyon sa bansa.

Ang mga panukalang ito ay pinangunahan nina Speaker Ferdinand Martin G. Romualdez at TINGOG Party-list Reps. Yedda Marie K. Romualdez, Andrew Julian K. Romualdez, at Jude A. Acidre.

Layon ng mga nasabing reporma na puksain ang malalang classroom shortage at siguruhin ang de-kalidad na Senior High School tracks na angkop sa pangangailangan ng ating mga mag-aaral.Sa ilalim ng Classroom-Building Acceleration Program (CAP) Act at Emergency Classroom Building Act, mas mapapabilis na ang pagpapatayo ng mga paaralan dahil bibigyan ng kapangyarihan ang mga LGU at private sector na tumulong, habang magkakaroon din ng emergency powers ang Pangulo para sa mabilisang rehabilitasyon ng mga pasilidad.

Kasabay nito, babaguhin ng Education Pathways Act ang Senior High School para maging mas malinaw ang direksyon ng mga estudyante. Hahatiin ito sa dalawang track:

ang University Preparatory Pathway sa ilalim ng DepEd para sa mga magkokolehiyo, at Technical-Vocational Pathway sa ilalim ng TESDA para sa mga gustong magtrabaho agad. Ayon kay Rep. Jude Acidre, Chairperson ng House Committee on Higher and Technical Education, hindi na pwedeng maghintay pa ang bansa habang nahuhuli ang mga batang Pilipino sa international assessments.

“We cannot expect better learning outcomes from a system that lacks the basic conditions for learning. Infrastructure, curriculum, and governance must move in coordination,” ani Acidre. “The era of diagnosing the problem is over. The next phase is disciplined implementation: classrooms delivered, pathways clarified, and results sustained.”

Dahil sa approval ng komite, uusad na ang mga reform measures na ito sa plenaryo upang tuluyang maging batas at mabigyan ng mas maayos na kinabukasan ang milyong-milyong “aisle learners” sa buong Pilipinas.

‘Di namalayan na one year nang magka-relasyon… MAVY, ginawan ng paraan para makapag-dinner sila ni ASHLEY noong Valentine’s Day

Posted on: February 28th, 2026 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

BILANG Valentine’s Day celebration ay kumain sina Ashley Ortega at boyfriend niyang si Mavy Legaspi.
“Nag-dinner kami ni Mavy. Siya yung nag-prepare noon.
“Buti nga nagkaroon kami ng time ngayon. Kasi nung Valentine’s Day [last year], he had work that time, kasi nasa PBB [Pinoy Big Brother] siya nun.
“So, ginawan niya talaga ng paraan. So, we went straight to dinner.
“And yun lang po, nag-dinner kami together.”
Kumusta ang higit sa isang taon na nilang relasyon “Ang saya! Actually, hindi na nga namin namalayan na one year na pala kami.
“Kasi parang… parang kailan lang kami nung nag-start mag-date.
“But it’s been a year, more than a year.
“And we’re doing good and we’re getting to know each other in a deeper level every day.
“And, of course, talagang happy kami sa relationship.”
Two years ang tanda ni Ashley kay Mavy.
“Three years. Pero parang two years na rin kasi birthday ko December, siya January.
“Kaya nga yung mga ano, tao talaga, e. Three years actually, pero parang two years kasi last month ako ng year.
“Siyempre, tulad din naman ang sinabi ko dati, hindi talaga ako sanay na magkaroon ng boyfriend na younger than me.
“But then, you know, Mavy really proved himself to me, proved his worth, and sobrang ini-effort-an niya ako.
“So, I fell in love with him.
“And hindi ko nararamdaman actually pag magkasama kami, yung age gap namin sa isa’t isa, kasi isip-bata din naman ako, e.
“So, parang nama-match naman namin yung maturity level ng isa’t isa. Hahaha!
“And, yeah, hindi ko na na-iisip na, ‘Shucks, ang layo pala ng age gap namin.”

Maika Monroe and Tyriq Withers tackle the emotional journey of “Reminders of Him” by #1 New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover

Posted on: February 28th, 2026 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

A powerful story can only translate to the big screen well with the perfect cast. Maika Monroe and Tyriq Withers were personally chosen by author Colleen Hoover to play the main characters, Kenna Rowan and Ledger Ward, in Reminders of Him. The adaptation of her hit novel of the same name also stars Rudy Pankow, Lainey Wilson, Lauren Graham and Bradley Whitford.

Reminders of Him tells the story of Kenna Rowan, who returns to her hometown after a life-altering crash that sends her to prison for seven years. Kenna hopes to rebuild her life and het a chance to see her daughter, Diem, who she has never met before. Diem’s custodial grandparents bar Kenna’s attempts at contacting her daughter, but she finds unexpected compassion in local bar owner Ledger. A story of heartbreak, love, and second chances unfold.

The weight of Kenna’s journey falls squarely on the shoulders of Maika Monroe (Longlegs, The Hand that Rocks the Cradle). Hoover loves the restraint and precision Monroe brings to the role “Maika captured that perfectly in her audition,” co-writer and producer Colleen Hoover says. “She has this incredible ability to hold back until the emotion needs to surface. When it does, it’s beautiful. Even in moments of silence, she is doing so much. I cannot imagine anyone else playing Kenna.”

Monroe did her research and dove deep into the novel to immerse herself in the role. . “It was incredibly helpful to have the book as a reference,” Monroe says. “There is a level of detail there that you cannot always get from a script. I turned to it often, especially before scenes where Kenna says very little.”

There’s also a distinct personality change that was bookmarked before and after Kenna’s accident, and Monroe had to take that into account in her performance. “Before the accident, she is fun and full of life, and her relationship with Scotty feels easy. Afterward, she is completely changed. That kind of trauma never leaves you. Even in your happiest moments, there is still pain underneath that never fully goes away.”

Ledger Ward is a former NFL player who comes back to Laramie to help care for Diem, the child of his deceased best friend Scotty. His previous work with HIM places him as a top contender for the role. “Ledger needed to feel believable as a former football player, but also emotionally grounded. Tyriq has that presence. He brings strength, warmth and a surprising sensitivity. He kept rising to the top of every conversation,” says producer Gina Matthews.

Withers felt connected to his character from the start. “What drew me to Ledger was how closely his story mirrors parts of my own life,” Withers says. “He is carrying grief while trying to be strong for everyone around him. There is a weight he does not talk about. Playing him allowed me to explore my own experiences and learn more about how I cope, how I love, and how I move through pain.”

He was glad to have the guiding hand of Hoover throughout production, and felt that it added to the believability of his character. The creative environment on set reinforced that approach. “Having Colleen there was incredible,” Withers says. “She is open and generous, and that gave me confidence. When the person who created the character tells you, ‘You are Ledger,’ it allows you to trust your instincts completely.”

Reminders of Him brings emotion to the cinema a on March 11. Check out Universal Pictures PH (FB), UniversalPicturesPH (IG), and UniversalPicsPH (TikTok) for the latest news and updates.

Maggie Gyllenhaal Reimagines a Horror Icon with Fierce Agency and Emotional Power in “The Bride!”

Posted on: February 26th, 2026 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

MAGGIE Gyllenhaal’s “The Bride!” stars Jessie Buckley and Christian Bale in a bold, emotionally charged reinvention of the Bride of Frankenstein. It all began with a spark of curiosity.While attending a party, Academy Award nominee Maggie Gyllenhaal noticed a tattoo of the Bride of Frankenstein. Instantly, a question formed: How had a character with barely any screen time become such a lasting symbol in pop culture?“I saw this tattoo of the Bride of Frankenstein at a party and I thought, “Something about this character has captured our culture,’” says Academy Award nominee Gyllenhaal. “And I then went back and watched the movie [“Bride of Frankenstein” (1935)] for the first time, because I had never seen it, and I found it really interesting that she’s not really in it. I will say Elsa Lanchester makes a real impact. I mean, she’s in it for three minutes, but she has somehow taken the culture by storm. But to be honest, she doesn’t talk. She doesn’t speak. She doesn’t get an opportunity to express herself. And I thought it was an interesting puzzle. This guy [Frankenstein] understandably is so lonely looking for a mate. But then, just anyone will do, and bringing someone back who doesn’t have any agency herself. So, what happens if you take that same format, that same story, but you give her a huge amount of agency, and give her a huge amount of need, and intelligence, and soulfulness, and vulnerability, and power? Then what happens? That seemed like a puzzle worth getting into.”That absence became the seed of something bold.What if the Bride had agency? What if she possessed intelligence, vulnerability, longing, and immense power? What if she wasn’t simply created to cure someone else’s loneliness—but had desires of her own?With The Bride!, Gyllenhaal transforms that compelling question into an electrifying cinematic experience.Set against the gritty backdrop of 1930s Chicago, The Bride! follows a lonely Frankenstein (Academy Award winner Christian Bale) who seeks the help of groundbreaking scientist Dr. Euphronious, played by five-time Oscar nominee Annette Bening.Together, they revive a murdered young woman.And the Bride is born.But what unfolds is far from the obedient companion Frankenstein imagined. Instead, she emerges as a force—complex, searching, alive with purpose. What follows spirals into murder, possession, a radical cultural movement, and a volatile romance between two outsiders trying to define love on their own terms.Produced by Warner Bros. Pictures, the film is a daring reinvention that pulses with urgency and emotion.From the Academy Award-nominated writer-director of The Lost Daughter, The Bride! is supported by an extraordinary team of film artisans.Director of photography Lawrence Sher, production designer Karen Murphy, editor Dylan Tichenor, music supervisor Randall Poster, Academy Award-winning composer Hildur Guðnadóttir, and costume designer Sandy Powell all contribute to the film’s distinctive visual and emotional language.The film also stars Peter Sarsgaard, Academy Award nominee Jake Gyllenhaal, and Oscar winner Penélope Cruz.Produced by Emma Tillinger Koskoff, Talia Kleinhendler, and Osnat Handelsman Keren, with executive producers Carla Raij, David Webb, and Courtney Kivowitz, the film is presented by Warner Bros. Pictures in collaboration with First Love Films and In The Current Company.The Bride! reclaims a legendary figure and reshapes her story for a new generation—one where she speaks, chooses, and loves on her own terms.Experience this powerful, genre-defying reimagining only in cinemas and IMAX beginning March 4, 2026 internationally and March 6, 2026 in North America.(Photo & Video Credit: “Warner Bros.

Ipinagdiinang ‘di nagbago kanyang political color… PINKY, na-bash na naman dahil um-attend sa event nina PBBM at FL LIZA

Posted on: February 26th, 2026 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

NABA-BASH si Pinky Amador dahil um-attend siya sa isang event nina Pangulong Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos at First Lady Liza Marcos sa Malacañang.
Si Pinky ay isang Kakampink na supporter ni former Vice-President Leni Robredo na kalaban noong eleksyon ni President Bongbong.
Apektado ba si Pinky sa bashers?
“Unang-una, titingnan mo yung mga bashers, walang mukha, walang pangalan, so they are paid trolls.
“Matagal na akong bina-bash. Yan ang natutunan ko kay Moira Tanyag,” sagot ng aktres.
Si Moira ay ang sikat niyang karakter sa dating afternoon drama series na ‘Abot-Kamay na Pangarap.’
“Ang pamba-bash is part of it and I just eat my bashers for breakfast. Sorry. Wala lang.
“Kasi dapat maging mature na tayo politically, di ba? Na hindi porket nag-attend ka ng isang ano…
“Parang si Ma’am Leni di ba? Tinanggap si BBM [Pangulong Bongbong] dahil magbibigay ng tulong doon sa kanilang bridge. They are doing their job.”
Bumisita kamakailan si Pangulong Bongbong sa Naga City kung saan si Leni ang mayor.
Bakit siya dumalo sa An Evening with the Stars?
“Isa po itong pagpugay sa mga artista sa pinalakang-tabing, sa dula, at sa telebisyon.
“Kung titingnan niyo po ang mga inimbita nila, a lot of them were Kakampinks.
“So, tatanungin niyo, bakit nila kami binibigyan ng pagpugay, di ba?
“So, parang ano, parang kinakamayan ka lang. Sasampalin mo ba yung kamay o kakamayan mo rin?
“And sa tingin ko naman, sa pag-attend sa isang dinner para po sa pag-honor sa mga artista, na 43 years ko na itong ginagawa.
“I will give them that respect.”
Personal niya raw kilala ang mag-asawang Marcos.
“Pangalawa, kilala ko po sila personally. When they were in exile, they would come to London.
“Pangatlo, yung tita ko po is their cultural mentor, so I know them personally,” pagtukoy ni Pinky kay Zenaida “Bibot” Amador, ang co-founder ng theater group na Repertory Philippines.
“And it doesn’t mean that I attend one dinner, I change my political color. Hindi po ganun.
“Puwede namang nagbibigay ka ng respeto pero nandiyan pa rin ang paninindigan mo.
“Kami naman, binibigyan ng pugay. Ako naman, 43 years ko na tong ginagawa.
“Hindi naman… hindi ko naman ugali naman mambastos nang ganun.
“Tsaka, hindi naman nagbago ang aking political color. So, why not?”
Muling mapapanood si Pinky sa isang teleserye, ang Apoy sa Dugo; mga bida rito sina Derrick Monasterio, Ashley Ortega, at Elle Villanueva.
Kasama rin sa cast sina Thea Tolentino, Ricardo Cepeda, Toniyuh, Larkin Castor. Ito ay mula sa direksiyon ni Ralfh Manuel Malabunga.
Mapapanood ito sa GMA Afternoon Prime simula March 2, 2026, 4:05 P.M., Lunes hanggang Biyernes.

But I was fortunate to be part of stories that crossed borders and languages. Stories that reminded us how deeply connected we all are. Thank you all for surrounding me with love, for being my safe harbour and for helping me stay true to my own North Star.”
Nakilala sa kanyang husay sa martial arts si Michelle sa mga pelikulang Tomorrow Never Dies, Crouching Tiger… Hidden Dragon, Master Z: Ip Man Legacy, Police Story 3, The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, Tai Chi Masters, The Heroic Trio at Yes, Madam.
