Mayor Isko Moreno, Wife Dynee to Lead as Hermano and Hermana Mayor at Flores de Mayo in Manila

  

Manila Mayor Francisco “Isko” Moreno Domagoso has graciously accepted the invitation to serve as Hermano Mayor of Flores de Mayo, with his wife, Mrs. Diana Lyn “Dynee” Domagoso, accepting the role of Hermana Mayor, lending their full support to the revival of a cherished celebration of faith, culture, and fashion.

Set on May 3, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. at The Manila Hotel and Quirino Grandstand, this year’s theme, “Dalisay at Halimuyak”, draws from the ideas of purity and fragrance. During a courtesy call by The Manila Hotel President Atty. Joey Lina, Mayor Isko expressed his support for the event and the value of initiatives that uplift the community, honor Manila’s legacy, and create
opportunities for artists and designers to contribute to a tradition deeply rooted in Filipino faith and identity. He noted, “Maaalala natin ang pamana sa atin.”

The event is mounted by The Manila Hotel, in partnership with the City Government of Manila and the Fashion Designers Association of the Philippines (FDAP), with support from Manila, My Manila of the Department of Tourism, Culture and Arts of Manila (DTCAM).

A long-standing Catholic tradition in the Philippines dating back to the 1800s, Flores de Mayo remains one of the country’s enduring expressions of Marian devotion. At The Manila Hotel, the celebration assumed a distinctive place in Manila’s cultural calendar beginning in 1979 through the Congregacion del Santisimo Nombre de Niño Jesus, established that same year with Ben Farrales, the Dean of Filipino Fashion, as founding chair.

From the outset, the tradition linked Marian devotion with Manila’s cultural life. Revived in
2019 before being paused by the pandemic, it returns this year as a tribute to a city where faith, culture, and fashion continue to meet.

This year’s celebration also carries a meaningful social purpose, with proceeds and partnerships intended to benefit Young Focus and the Children’s First 1000 Days Coalition, supporting programs for children, families, education, and nutrition.

Further expressing his enthusiasm for the procession, Mayor Isko said: “Wala nang gasolinangkailangan dahil lakad ito. Ang ganda naman… we practice what we preach. Sabi ko, energy saving.” His remark reflected his support for a celebration that ofers hope and solidarity amid today’s global challenges.

Meanwhile, the event is also in close coordination with government partners for security and trafic management for an orderly celebration. The Philippine National Police (PNP) hascommitted at least 300 personnel for security, while the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) will assist in trafic management. The participation of the Armed Forces of the Philippines as arch bearers is also being arranged.

With Mayor Isko and Mrs. Domagoso serving as Hermano Mayor and Hermana Mayor, Flores
de Mayo at The Manila Hotel is poised to become one of Manila’s most visible cultural events of the season — honoring a beloved Filipino tradition while reafirming the capital’s place as a center of devotion, heritage, and civic life.

Am I peeing too much or too little?

 

Its official term is micturition, but to us, it’s simply urinating or peeing, a natural and necessary function of a healthy human body. “Urination helps cleanse the body of toxins, excess sodium and fluid, and metabolic waste,” says Rolando Guillermo O. Saulog, MD, a Urology Doctor at top hospital in the Philippines, Makati Medical Center (MakatiMed).

On average, a person pees between 6 to 7 times a day, but if you are taking more (or less) trips to the bathroom, there’s no real need to worry. “If you go only four times in a 24-hour span, it is fine. And if you go 10 times, that’s okay too.”

According to Dr. Saulog, the number of times you urinate per day depends on the following factors:

Age. “As we grow older, our bladder (which stores urine) does not expand as much, so it fills up faster, making our visits to the bathroom more frequent. Menopause and the decreasing production of the estrogen hormone can also affect bladder function.”

What and how much you drink. “Alcohol and caffeine are forms of diuretics, which prompt the kidneys to release extra fluid from the blood vessels. Consume copious amounts of coffee, tea, beer, or wine, and you can expect to spend a lot of time in the toilet.”

Pregnancy. “Mothers-to-be can chalk up peeing often to hormonal changes (an increase of progesterone relaxes the muscles, including those in the bladder), extra fluid and blood produced by the body, and weakened pelvic floor muscles due to an expanding uterus.” 

Specific medical conditions. “If you need to urinate often, only yield small amounts each time, you may have a urinary tract infection (UTI). Diabetes can also cause you to urinate frequently, as it is the body’s way of emptying the bloodstream of excess sugar. Low potassium, too much or too little calcium, an enlarged prostate, congestive heart failure, painful bladder syndrome, and kidney issues can also make you visit the bathroom several times.” 

Medicines. “Diuretics in pill form are given to individuals with high blood pressure, heart failure, edema, kidney disease, and liver disease. Certain medicines for diabetes and mental health can also make you pee more than average.”

Bladder size. “A man’s bladder can hold as much as 700 ml of urine, while a woman’s bladder can store about 500 ml.” 

On the flip side, MakatiMed says that oliguria or urinating only 1-2 times in 24 hours (that’s peeing less than 400-500 ml a day) could be due to dehydration, blockages in the urinary tract, or infection.

When should you see your doctor? “Definitely when your peeing includes pain or a burning sensation, or when pain is felt in your lower back, pelvis, or genitals,” says Dr. Saulog. “Blood in the urine is also a cause for concern, as is incontinence or difficulty controlling your pee.” 

Other signs that a consultation with a health practitioner is in order: urine that is cloudy, dark, and foul-smelling. 

Tests help pinpoint the cause of your tendency to pee often or not enough. Results from a urinalysis will give your doctor an idea of the color, appearance, and microscopic contents of your sample. A kidney functioning test, which relies on a blood test and urine sample, can gauge how well your kidneys are working. Imaging tests (x-ray, ultrasound, MRI, CT scan) will reveal if peeing too much or too little comes from a pre-existing or newly discovered medical condition. A uroflowmetry test (available in MakatiMed) is a simple, non-invasive test used to evaluate how the bladder is working, often to detect why a patient has frequent or urge to urinate, a weak or slow urinary stream, difficulty starting urination, or a feeling that the bladder is not empty after urinating.

“Healthy living ensures efficient and natural urination,” reminds Dr. Saulog. “Stay hydrated. Eat fruits and vegetables and foods rich in probiotics; they may help address recurring UTI. Avoid too much caffeine and alcohol. Pee and cleanse using an unscented soap after sexual intercourse to lower your risk of developing UTI. Women can also reduce the risk of UTI by wiping from front to back after peeing.”

“Most important: Do not hold back your pee. Go when you feel like it.”

Your Best Mate is Back: The HUAWEI Mate 80 Pro is Coming to the Philippines This April 17

 

Nearly three years after the last HUAWEI Mate smartphone was introduced globally, the legendary series finally makes its long-awaited return with the HUAWEI Mate 80 Pro. In re-introducing the “Ultimate Technology,” HUAWEI sets new standards in imaging authenticity, durability, performance, and intelligence with the latest addition to the iconic smartphone series.

Your Best Mate is Back

For over a decade, the HUAWEI Mate Series has represented HUAWEI’s boldest technological ambitions. Each generation of the series has introduced defining innovations that set the benchmark for global smartphone excellence. The HUAWEI Mate 10 revolutionized mobile processing as the world’s first smartphone to feature a dedicated AI NPU. With the HUAWEI Mate 20, HUAWEI expanded visual horizons by introducing the world’s first Ultra Wide Angle Camera.

The HUAWEI Mate 30 came with the world’s first AI Gesture Control capability, which allowed users to navigate through the phone without touching it, while the HUAWEI Mate 40 redefined smartphone photography with world’s first Free-Form Lens, minimizing distortion while preserving true-to-life proportions. In 2022, the HUAWEI Mate 50 pushed the possibilities of the mobile experience even further by becoming the world’s first satellite communication smartphone protected by the remarkably tough Kunlun Glass.

Beyond its groundbreaking features, the HUAWEI Mate Series has always stood for HUAWEI’s relentless pursuit of smartphone excellence. The launch of the new HUAWEI Mate 80 Pro promises to continue the series’ legacy of consistently pushing the boundaries of what smartphones can achieve.

Crafted to Inspire with Iconic Design

The HUAWEI Mate Series has been defined by a signature aesthetic of perfect symmetry, which the HUAWEI Mate 80 Pro carries this heritage into a breathtaking new era with the all-new Dual Space Ring Design. These rings are aligned to reveal the infinity symbol, an enduring emblem of the pursuit of exploration and self-transcendence, as well as the courage to push beyond limits and redefine possibilities.

Available in two nature-inspired colors — Gold and Black — the phone is wrapped in a premium, ultra-durable vegan fiber backplate that offers a supremely comfortable grip while keeping the phone elegant and stylish as ever.

Equipped to Outshoot with Industry-Leading Imaging Features

The HUAWEI Mate 80 Pro is a mobile powerhouse designed to elevate the smartphone experience, bringing together industry-leading imaging capabilities and iconic design to set a new standard for mobile photography.

Revolutionizing mobile photography, the HUAWEI Mate 80 Pro introduces an imaging system that essentially puts a professional photography studio in users’ pockets. Its True-to-Colour Camera system improves color reproduction to deliver authentic, professional-grade results in any scenario. The system is anchored to a 50MP Ultra Lighting Main Camera, which captures significantly more light and detail to provide a strong foundation for enhanced color performance, superior low-light capabilities, and brings lifelike textures that make every shot look realistic and gallery-ready.

Photo provided by Unbox Diaries.

The device also has a 48MP Ultra Lighting Telephoto Macro Lens, which supports 4x optical zoom and a minimum focus distance of 5 cm to unlock masterful close-up and long-range shots with stunning clarity.

The all-new AI Composition feature brings professional-grade imaging straight to your pocket. Trained on over 500,000 professional photographic works, the system intelligently analyzes the environment in real time, assessing subjects, leading lines, lighting, and overall visual balance. The viewfinder overlays subtle, intuitive composition hints directly on the screen. It automatically suggests the perfect crop or optimal zoom to help take perfectly balanced, professional-looking framing without the complicated setup.

Built to Outlast with Uncompromising Durability

The HUAWEI Mate 80 Pro is also forged to be reliably durable to handle the chaos that everyday life brings. It introduces a Super Durable Architecture, featuring reinforced structural layers to enhance the phone’s bend resistance. To improve drop resistance and protect the phone’s display, the HUAWEI Mate 80 Pro is engineered with 2nd Gen Kunlun Glass, which boasts a stronger drop resistance than conventional glass panels and reduces the risk of screen damage from accidental drops and impact.

More than elegance and a luxurious grip, the HUAWEI Mate 80 Pro’s vegan fiber design provides outstanding scratch and stain resistance to keep the device looking as pristine as the first day it was unboxed. An IP68 and IP69 water and dust resistance allows the phone to effortlessly withstand the most extreme elements, from water submersion of up to 6 meters and water temperatures of up to 80°C, to high-pressure water jets, and even freezing conditions of as low as -20°C.

Engineered to Outperform with Unbridled Power

The HUAWEI Mate 80 Pro delivers an improved performance with the industry-first SuperCool Dual Phase Change Heat Dissipation System. This ensures that the phone runs smoothly, supporting heavy-duty multitasking and large-scale gameplay without overheating.

Underneath the phone’s premium exterior lies a massive 5750 mAh battery that supports all-day usage and up to 30 hours of video playback on a single charge, keeping users connected, productive, and entertained without interruption. The large battery rapidly recharges through the 100W Wired HUAWEI SuperCharge, which gets the battery up to 51% charged in just 15 minutes, or the 80W Wireless HUAWEI SuperCharge.

The HUAWEI Mate 80 Pro offers a seamless ecosystem through the HUAWEI AppGallery. Workflow remains fluid and uninterrupted with the full Google Workspace apps, including Gmail, Drive, Meet, Docs, Slides, and Sheets. Users can also access apps that let them stay connected such as Youtube and Facebook, or apps that help manage daily life like Angkas, BDO, BPI, or GCash. The HUAWEI Mate 80 Pro guarantees that everything users need to navigate their day is right at their fingertips.
