The previous best finish in the competition by a Filipino athlete was in the semifinals, by Felix Barrientos at the 1985 Wimbledon. This feat was then matched by Eala at the 2020 Roland Garros and this year’s US Open.

Members of the PhilippineManitoba Historical Society, Inc. (PMHSI) organized this event to ensure the horrors and atrocities of the Martial Law era remain alive in the collective memory and consciousness of the Filipinos in Canada.“Revisiting this dark chapter of Philippine history is not only important but necessary given the rising threat of misinformation, disinformation, and historical distortion,” said Jomay AmoraDueck, event organizer and cofounder of PMHSI.
Frank Evers, the awardwinning producer of The Kingmaker, said he personally learned the importance of teaching and remembering history, protecting the freedom of the press, the independence of the judiciary, and an election process free of corruption while filming the documentary.
“In this time when social media heavily influence historical perspectives, we want to provide an academic approach that will spark conversations and promote critical thinking in our youth and community members. This is also our way to help amplify the voices of martial law survivors and victims,” she added.

Balik-Tanaw: Martial Law at 50 is a free public event that features a martial law exhibit, a showing of the Showtime documentary The Kingmaker, and a cultural celebration in commemoration of the 50th year since the declaration of martial law on September 21, 1972.
A Filipino group in Winnipeg will host a variety of special events on Friday, September 23, 2022, at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights (CMHR).
Antonio recently made history in Canada as the first Filipino and woman of colour to be named Calgary’s Citizen of the Year in 2021. She was also awarded the Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee Medal in 2012 for her outstanding community service.

“Filipino youth are vulnerable to the constant stream of disinformation and misinformation on social media and other major arenas of discourse. This explains why generations of youth are confused or are unclear on what had truly occurred during the dark days of martial law. As a young person, I felt the need to step up and take a stand,” said Alfafara.

“The global rise of autocracy, coupled with the manipulation of social media by sophisticated disinformation campaigns and deployed by troll armies, demands that we ensure democracy is not subverted by the actions of the wealthy and powerful. The people alone should decide their governments based on truthful information enabled by a free press,” he added.“Democracy is fragile and needs to be safeguarded by all citizens,” he pointed out.
“Let us keep our hopes burning by spreading the truths of our history as Filipinos – not by denying, forgetting nor revising the truths about poverty, injustice and oppression. This way, we are able to come together stronger in action to realize our dream for a truly democratic, just, and prosperous Philippines,” said Antonio.

Cutler, Geralyn Dreyfous, Julie Parker Benello, Dan Cogan, Bill Haney, Lilly Hartley, Patricia Lambrecht, Nion McEvoy, Vinnie Malhotra, Patty Quillin, Regina K. Scully, and Jamie Wolf.
The event concludes with a cultural celebration at 7:00PM, featuring some of Winnipeg’s greatest Filipino-Canadian artists such as Alex Canlapan, Jovelle Balani, Mervin Sison, Hazel Wallace, Jett Panganiban, Paolo Camus, Danilo “Ka Daning” Ramos, Mar dela Cruz, Alapaap and the Missing Page. A cash bar and pop-up shops will be available at the event.

“The youth have a pivotal role to play in upholding the democratic and patriotic aspirations of the Filipino people now and in the future. There is so much at stake, but the future rests in our hands,” he added.
“I am honored that the Philippine-Manitoba Historical Society have chosen to screen The Kingmaker as part of this special event commemorating the 50th anniversary of the declaration of martial law in the Philippines,” said Evers.
One of the highlights of the event is the participation of Marichu Antonio, a martial law victim and survivor. She was one of the “Pangasinan Seven” who was abducted by the military in 1984 and subjected to gruesome torture and abuse at a secret military safe house.
The featured film, The Kingmaker, will be screened for free on September 23 at 4:00 p.m. The award-winning film is an extraordinary look into the controversial political career of Imelda Marcos. A journey through the Marcos family’s long history of corruption, extravagance, and brutality, this documentary tells a cautionary tale of a powerful female leader whose questionable sense of reality divided a nation.
Nico Bryle Alfafara, also one of the co-founders of the organization, stressed the importance of protecting historical truths and commemorating the Filipinos’ resistance against authoritarianism.
The definition of “criminality” applies only to foreign nationals who may be: “inadmissible on grounds of criminality for (a) having been convicted in Canada
How well informed are you about the immigration consequences of criminal processes inside and outside of Canada? The purpose of the article is to provide the reader with a background to the impact of criminal proceedings and determinations of inadmissibility to Canada. It may come as a surprise to many, but criminality may not only refer to criminal prosecutions in Canada and overseas but also the actual commission of such offences. Or, in simpler terms, if you commit an action that you may not have been prosecuted for. It is important to understand that if you are declared inadmissible, you are not legally entitled to enter Canada.
The offence committed or prosecuted overseas will be judged by immigration officials against the Canadian Criminal Code to determine what the Canadian equivalent is for the commission or prosecution of the
The commission of offences or acts is also grounds for inadmissibility under “serious criminality,” IRPA s.36 (1) (c). You don’t have to be prosecuted to be declared inadmissible; the commission of the offence is enough. A permanent resident or foreign national is inadmissible on grounds of serious criminality for, “(c) committing an act outside Canada that is an offence in the place where it was committed and that, if committed in Canada, would constitute an offence under an Act of Parliament punishable by a maximum term of imprisonment of at least 10 years.”
crime. The process is challenging because Canadian law may be very different from the first country of the applicant. There are foreign convictions with no equivalence under Canadian law, such as spitting on the street in Singapore or for adultery in the Philippines. If you committed an offence and five years have passed since your sentence was completed, you may be eligible to apply for rehabilitation. However, rehabilitation is not open to persons declared inadmissible for an indictable federal offence punishable “by a maximum term of imprisonment of at least 10 years” or “for a term of imprisonment of more than six months has been imposed,” IRPA s.36(1)(a)(b) and (c).
longer you wait the stronger your request will be potentially.
The Canadian criminal justice system distinguishes between lesser or summary offences and major offences of indictable offences. The immigration Act defines “Serious criminality” IRPA s.36(1)(a) as “(1) A permanent resident or a foreign national is inadmissible on grounds of serious criminality for (a) having been convicted in Canada of an offence under an Act of Parliament punishable by a maximum term of imprisonment of at least 10 years, or of an offence under an Act of Parliament for which a term of imprisonment of more than six months has been imposed.”
of an offence under an Act of Parliament punishable by way of indictment, or of two offences under any Act of Parliament not arising out of a single occurrence; (b) having been convicted outside Canada of an offence that, if committed in Canada, would constitute an indictable offence under an Act of Parliament, or of two offences not arising out of a single occurrence that, if committed in Canada, would constitute offences under an Act of Parliament; (c) committing an act outside Canada that is an offence in the place where it was committed and that, if committed in Canada, would constitute an indictable offence under an Act of Parliament; or (d) committing, on entering Canada, an offence under an Act of Parliament prescribed by regulations.”
All rights reserved.
The applicant must demonstrate more than a clean record for the minimum five years or longer. He or she must show that they have taken positive steps to rehabilitate themselves such as explaining the offense they committed, their deep remorse in hurting the victims of their actions and the circumstances of their rehabilitation such as anger management, or alcohol or drug rehabilitation if applicable, testimonials from fellow employees or community involvement. It is highly advisable for the applicant to provide a personal statement explaining why they committed the offence and the events leading up to their conviction or the circumstances surrounding the commission. It is important to take personal responsibility for the offence and express how sorry they are for the victim of their crime and to show that their offence was an isolated event that will not be repeated. Their petition will be judged by a higher standard of “a balance of probabilities,” under IRPA s.36 (3). They must convince the Minister that they are a changed
An applicant can also be deemed inadmissible for serious criminality for equivalent offences prosecuted overseas under IRPA s.36(1)(b) or offences committed overseas under IRPA s.36(1)(c).

When Napoleon Hill wrote Think and Grow Rich he concluded that a very important aspect in the process of gaining wealth was tied to sex. He said that “The emotion of sex contains the secret of creative ability.”
• Got hormones? OK, girls – let’s face it, the angry, witchy woman is nobody’s friend and will scare off even the most desperate lover. If you would rather clean your toenails than have sex, something is wrong. Get to your OB/GYN and get some hormones or some help – you don’t have to retire to a convent because your libido is low.
Does your love life affect your finances?
no matter what. Well, women aren’t. If you’re a guy and you’re reading this, I’m going to tell you what your sweetie won’t. No woman likes to show interest and then you go from 0 to 120 MPH in an instant. Slow down, talk to her, touch her and then see what happens.
Love and money are often tied together. In fact, studies have shown that sex and money are the two things couples fight most about. What’s certain, too, is that when money is tight, romance often
• Make a date for no sex. Sounds odd, right? Well, make a date for the bedroom and do anything but have sex. I guarantee you won’t be able to keep your hands off each other. Works like a charm and gets everybody fired up.
• Remove all work objects (computers, phones, piles of paper).•Make the bed. Every day. Nothing looks as unappealing –or as unsexy – as an unmade bed.
• Sleep in the correct position. As you are in bed, the woman is on the right and the man is on the left.•

Sa aking nakaraang paglilingkod bilang Konsehal, napatunayan ko na ang sama-samang paggawa ay higit na nagbigay ng kaunlaran.

Four is also the number associated with romance and sex, academic achievement, sales, and writing. So, you could say that the number four is associated with creation and generation, too. Obviously, the number two is very important as well.
Ang aking pangunahing gagawin ay ang pagpapatuloy ng pakikiisa sa inyong lahat para sa kaunlaran, katahimikan, kaligtasan, at transportasyon.
• Get rid of any and all plants or flowers – these drain romance.
• Hold your horses. OK, guys – let’s face it, you’re always ready
• Remove pictures of everyone except the couple in the room –especially the kids.
Mabuhay!
This “seat of power” and the ability to create is uniquely tied to feng shui, too. What’s especially interesting about sex and money in feng shui is that the wealth sector is also associated with the number four.
In a study of 32,000 couples, many who stopped having sex reported that the trend of little or no sex only became worse. In other words, less sex leads to even less or no sex.
When money is good, by contrast, you feel creative and “in the flow,” and that can stoke your love fires – and keep them burning. Having a good income and orderly finances can also help keep your relationship close and the intimate bonds unbreakable.
If you do have a partner and your love life needs a jump start, follow this checklist to improve your love life and start the creative flow in the bedroom – and in your pocketbook!

• Schedule sex each week That’s right, put it on the calendar. Rather than lacking spontaneity, scheduling intimate time together means that your love is important. Honour your creative and generating abilities –and your partnership – by making time for sex and romance.
Sex and assets are closely linked.
What if you lack a partner?
Whensuffers.we feel successful financially, we feel sexy and desirable.Making money and making love always feel better when there’s an abundance of both.
Feng shui says money and sex are linked
Bilang inyong Konsehal, ako po ay may madalas na pakikipanayam sa ating lugar na ginaganap sa Cindy Klassen, nakikinig sa mga problema, at mga nais isangguni ninyo. Ang madalas na napaguusapan ay ang pagkakaisa, pagsasama-sama, at pagtutulungan ng mga naninirahan dito.
But is all sex good? No.
The committed, loving type is what we’re after. This is the basis of good feng shui and good love – and is where the money-making potential resides. Promiscuity never makes you feel better, and it usually makes you feel worse.
Sex is good – and we need it Making love makes us happy and content, relieves physical tension in all parts of the body (not just you-know-where), and is an important part of a committed relationship.Thinkabout making love with your partner and think about how it feels to have a wad of cash. Both make you smile. See the link?
Couples with money troubles often find that their mood becomes tense and argumentative, and nothing can prevent closeness and love like two tense partners.
• Seek sensuality. Being sensual and romantic is extremely beneficial for a relationship rather than cheap, nasty, and whambam (you know what I mean). Get some great-feeling new sheets for your bed. Buy a soft and nubby throw for the bed or maybe one of those awesome fur throws. Get your skin used to feeling wonderful textures. Get a body polish (my favourite!) at your local spa and a massage afterward. Your skin will feel like silk – to you and to your honey.
There are two parts to love, just as there are two parts to money – income/generating money (salary/income) and accumulating money (wealth). In love, there is the commitment and romance aspect (southwest) and there is the sexual aspect (southeast).
Cindy Gilroy po, kasalukuyang Konsehal ng lungsod ng Winnipeg, Daniel McIntyre Ward. Nais ko pong hilingin ang inyong suporta sa aking re-election bilang Konsehal sa pangalawang pagkakataon.

Hinihiling ko ang inyong suporta sa aking re-election upang maipagpatutoy natin ang lahat ng nagawa na at mga gagawin pa sa ika-uunlad ng ating lugar.
The problem with sex is that as you age, sexual activity lessens and not just because of lack of interest, although that certainly does happen, but because fatigue, work, stress, child-rearing, and household duties get in the way. Everyday demands of living can often sap our enthusiasm.
A German study confirms this.

Dr. Kopecky says that during those high-intensity bursts, you should be saying to yourself, “Wow, this is really hard, and I can’t keep this up too much longer.”The level of activity that gets you there will be different for everyone. It will change for you as well, as you become more physically fit and can go even harder.
• Stand up from your computer chair and roll your shoulders and neck.•Walk down the hall to visit a co-worker or take a lap around the house if you’re working from home.•Use a bathroom on another floor.
Take 10 minutes for intervals

When it comes to fruit, head for the freezer aisle instead of the produce section. Flash-frozen produce is blanched and quickly frozen after it’s picked, which helps preserve its nutritional value. When produce travels across the world, it can degrade by the time it reaches your refrigerator.Double-check labels and research online to find flashfrozen produce. Bonus: Frozen produce is generally cheaper than fresh.
• Walk around the block when you take a break to get some fresh air and movement.
Say these two words “It’s OK.”
Forgiving yourself when you hit a slump is important. Positive self-talk takes practice just like anything else, but eventually being friendly to yourself will become second nature.

On October 19, 1984, Antonio was forcibly taken and went
missing for 12 days.
“I was arrested, handcuffed, blindfolded and taken to a house where there were so many men. I was stripped down naked. I was abused and hit in the face. I was gagged with used socks as I was screaming loud for help,” Antonio said.“I was involved in many protests. I had friends who protested against human rights violations and some of them had disappeared and until now their bodies could not be found.”
Martial law survivor urges youth to be vigilant
Antonio was one among the over 75,000 victims of Martial Law whose experiences were affirmed through Republic Act 10368 or the Human Rights Victims Reparations Act of 2013, a law signed by former President Benigno Aquino III, that recognizes the “heroism and sacrifices of all Filipinos who were victims of … other gross human rights violations” under the Marcos regime.
“Our youth should open their eyes on the reality that the martial law era was not a golden age, but a dark period of our history where millions of people continue to suffer till this day. I hope they remain steadfast and united in having a stronger voice in demanding for accountability of the Marcoses for historical denialism and distortion, plunder, human rights violations and other anti-peopleAntonioacts.”will be speaking at

People who have Abbott PanBio rapid tests at home should know that Health Canada has extended the shelf life of these tests to 24 months from the date the tests were manufactured. This extension occurred after the packages were printed, so expiry dates may now be inaccurate. Individuals who have these rapid tests at home should use the date of manufacture printed on the packaging and add 24 months to determine the true expiry date.

The province expects to be able to expand eligibility for the bivalent vaccine to all Manitobans aged 18 and older in the coming weeks, based on vaccine shipments from the federal government and initial uptake among eligible groups.
