The Philippines continues to produce world-class basketball talent – but as PBA legend and current TNT Tropang 5G team manager Jojo Lastimosa has long believed, talent alone isn’t enough without opportunity. For young athletes, sports can open doors – but only when the right support systems are in place. This is where connectivity, community, and committed partners like PLDT Home play a crucial role.

“Sharenting”, or the act of parents sharing
their parenting journeys including their children’s photo and data online, have
become common as the 21st century’s parents’ lives are mostly
grounded in technology. While there are benefits to sharing parenting journeys
online, such as building supportive communities, documenting memories, and
exchanging advice, it also comes with clear and growing risks.
The latest Kaspersky and SIT research, “Small
Shares, Big Risks: How Parents Assess Threats and Cope with Sharing of
Children’s Data”, explored the motivational drivers that influence parents’
proactive approach to protecting their children’s privacy on social media. It

Today’s mothers have evolved beyond their traditional roles – now more empowered than ever, they are entrepreneurs, digital navigators, and lifelong learners. And while they may not always say it, most of the time our moms crave more than just a token gift; they crave the connections with their loved ones, especially their children.
