Olympic sports get big piece of PSC pie
EJ Obiena —INQUIRER FILE PHOTO Despite the raging COVID-19 health crisis, the government will not hold back from throwing all-out support to national athletes who have grand dreams of seeing themselves in the Tokyo Olympics. Last year alone, the Philippine Sports Commission released over half-a-billion pesos in government funding for the 62 national sports associations under the Philippine Olympic Committee. In a document obtained by the Inquirer, Olympic sports got the lion’s share of the P523 million the sports agency disbursed to these NSAs in 2020, even though the country’s economy plunged into recession. These NSAs, which are all private and autonomous in nature, likewise got a humongous financial allotment from the PSC in 2019 of nearly P1.2 billion and translated the assistance into an overall title for Team Philippines in the 31st Southeast Asian Games. Medal-rich sports athletics and swimming were the top recipients of the funds, with the Philippine Amateur Track ... » Learn More about Olympic sports get big piece of PSC pie

Bali prays as COVID-19 hits tourism on Island of the Gods
DENPASAR: Bali's Galungan festival celebrates the triumph of good over evil, but a new enemy was threatening that cosmic balance this year - coronavirus . Temples across the Island of the Gods were filled with faithful who hoped incense-and-flower offerings would get Hindu-majority Bali back on its feet after a drastic slump in Chinese visitors hammered the key tourism sector. "We're praying for good things in this universe and that the virus is gone soon so Bali's tourism can bounce back," priest Made Langgeng Buwana told AFP during the recent February Galungan celebration in the capital Denpasar. Concerns over the rapidly-spreading outbreak prompted Indonesia to shut down all flights to and from China last month, dealing a body blow to scores of Bali businesses including restaurants, hotels, travel agents, wedding planners and Mandarin-speaking interpreters.

Fat to fit at 40: How this dad in Hong Kong shed 27kg
Keon Woong Lee has battled the bulge as long as he can remember, he says, showing a school yearbook photo of his "fat kid" 11-year-old self. "I had ajummas always giving me food but at the same time saying, 'why are you so fat?" recalls the Hong Kong-based Korean of the family friends he called "aunties" when he was a child attending Sha Tin College. Lee, the general manager of Faust International Youth Theatre in Hong Kong, says his voracious appetite for soft drinks and foods such as Choco Pies and French fries played a role. He tried everything from juicing to eating healthily for months, but never sustained those habits, so the weight always crept back. In late 2019, Lee hit his heaviest weight: 115kg. "I was 38 then, and was going to be 39 in November that year. I knew I wanted to lose weight before 40," he said. Whether it was a symptom of a midlife crisis, or just the idea of reaching a milestone age that inspired him, a determined Lee sparked a transformation that saw him ... » Learn More about Fat to fit at 40: How this dad in Hong Kong shed 27kg
Hearty and versatile dish
Fish pie is a homely dish that has a strong British tradition. It is filled with white sauce and cheddar cheese, and usually topped with mashed potato, much like shepherd’s pie. It is sometimes called fisherman’s pie and may include ingredients such as shrimp and hard-boiled eggs. Traditionally, fish pie uses white fish such as cod or haddock, but you may use salmon and tuna instead. This recipe is versatile and can be adapted with locally sourced fish such as kurau, tenggiri and tongkol. I like to use ikan tongkol or skipjack tuna because its strong flavour complements the cheese and mashed potatoes. However, it is easy to overcook tuna so do not bake for more than 15 minutes because it will continue to cook even when removed from the oven. The fish is usually poached in a white sauce, which is basically onion bechamel sauce made with butter, onions, flour and milk. Fresh dill pairs well with fish and I like to sprinkle the herb over the mash. You may use chives or ... » Learn More about Hearty and versatile dish
Learn about these hidden food allergy triggers commonly found in local cuisine
If your child has a food allergy or intolerance, eating out can be difficult, because there are so many multicultural dishes in Singapore and, typically, local eateries (think hawker stalls) don’t list out ingredients. The good news? “Around 90 percent of kids eventually outgrow their dairy, egg, wheat and soy allergies,” says Dr. Andrea Rajnakova , the founder and director of Andrea’s Digestive, Colon, Liver And Gallbladder Clinic . Nevertheless, food allergy triggers can sneak up on you in unassuming dishes.
