The Philippines needs the legal backbone for digital trade
Every exporter knows the frustration. The goods have already been shipped. The buyer is ready. The bank is waiting. Yet payment cannot be released because a critical document is still somewhere between ports, courier services, customs offices, banks, and trading partners. For decades, global trade has relied on paper documents, such as bills of lading, warehouse receipts, bills of exchange, and promissory notes.
A history of constructive engagement
In the heart of Siena, the Palazzo Pubblico is home to a 14th-century mural by Ambrogio Lorenzetti, known as the “Allegory and Effects of Good and Bad Government.” It is one of the best-known early pieces of secular art, covering political subjects, rather than traditionally religious ones.
Vivir en modo notificación
Cartas al director Sábado, 21 de marzo 2026, 07:37 Hemos normalizado estar siempre disponibles. El sonido de una alerta marca el ritmo del día. Cada vibración exige atención inmediata, como si no responder fuera ... un acto de rebeldía. Vivir conectados sin pausa tiene un precio: ansiedad y sensación constante de no llegar a nada. La tecnología prometía hacernos más libres, pero nos ha vuelto más dependientes.
The business advantage of workforce diversity
Companies today are under pressure to innovate faster and stay relevant to markets that are shifting in demographics, behaviors and expectations. Yet many still rely on leadership teams and a workforce that do not accurately represent their target market.
Redesigning work so women can thrive
As we celebrate Women’s Month, we often highlight the achievements of individual women who have broken barriers. These stories matter because they inspire us, but they also prompt a hard question: How many capable Filipino women out there never had the opportunity to lead in the first place? According to CEIC Data (2023), the labor force participation rate of women in the Philippines aged 25 and above stood at 58 percent, compared to 82.6 percent for men.

El efectivo | El Diario Vasco
Júlia Abad San Sebastián Lunes, 27 de octubre 2025, 01:00 Cada vez más comercios rechazan el dinero en efectivo. Lo venden como modernidad, pero ¿realmente lo es para todos? Mientras las administraciones impulsan la digitalización ... forzosa, olvidan a quienes quedan fuera: personas mayores que no manejan aplicaciones, trabajadores en economía sumergida, turistas sin conexión o quienes prefieren controlar su gasto con el dinero físico. Lo que se anuncia como comodidad se convierte en una barrera.
Nieve sin invierno
Cartas al director Miércoles, 22 de octubre 2025, 06:33 Llega la temporada de esquí, pero cada año la nieve natural tarda más en aparecer. Las estaciones invierten millones en cañones y tecnología para mantener ... vivas unas pistas que dependen cada vez más de lo artificial. Mientras, los glaciares retroceden y los montes pierden su equilibrio ecológico. El esquí es un recordatorio del calentamiento global.
Muralha Digital de Curitiba é um símbolo de como cidades inteligentes viraram cidades vigiadas
Em 2021, o então prefeito de Curitiba Rafael Greca inaugurou um programa de videomonitoramento ‘inteligente’ chamado Muralha Digital. Com este novo sistema, o prefeito prometeu transformar a capital paranaense em uma cidade “completamente controlada” por câmeras e inteligência artificial. A Muralha Digital representa mais do que apenas um projeto de segurança pública.

Workplace inclusion, bullying and women supporting women
As a child, I was soft-spoken, small for my age and very easily brought to tears—an ideal target for bullies. A particularly memorable tormenter was one of my carpool mates—she was pretty, athletic, confident and popular—and because she told them so, nobody ever wanted to play with or talk to me when she was around.
Invisible women, superwomen
Inquirer.net By Julia R Abad Growing up, I knew that not everyone outside our home was as forward-thinking as my parents, who allowed our personality and character quirks, rather than our genders, to determine how we were raised. Unfortunately, anak, I remember my mother saying to me, the world is still safer for your brothers than it is for you and your sister.
Closing the gender confidence gap
History will tell us that there was a time when women did not work outside the home at all. Even now, many women around the world are told that they are not good enough to have careers, to participate in decision-making, or to have an education. This has led women to accept that they cannot hold power, vote, or even open a bank account without their spouse’s signature. It is through social movements that new standards and demands are created.
Empowering women for the future of work
The future of “work” has become more than just a buzzword, and is now a focal topic of discussion in several international fora. To contextualize this point: Google recently introduced a new product being developed, “Google Duplex,” where it was revealed that the company’s Artificial Intelligence technology could eventually make phone calls and engage in conversations on our behalf, and eventually reach a wider base of consumers and businesses and streamline processes.
