Frontline healthcare professionals are invariably at the forefront of managing and mitigating the impact of this insidious disease.\n\nIn this week’s episode\, our esteemed panel of experts will elucidate the intricate pathophysiology of atherosclerosis\, tracing its origins from endothelial dysfunction and lipid deposition to the eventual formation of obstructive plaques. We will also discuss the interplay of genetic predispositions\, dietary habits\, lifestyle factors\, and prevalent comorbidities such as hypertension\, diabetes mellitus\, and dyslipidemia that contribute to the heightened susceptibility of Filipinos to this condition.\n\nIn addition\, we will provide a practical and clinically relevant exploration of contemporary diagnostic modalities\, ranging from non-invasive assessments like lipid profiling and ankle-brachial index to advanced imaging techniques such as coronary computed tomography angiography. We will also discuss pharmacological interventions\, including the appropriate use of statins\, antiplatelet agents\, and emerging lipid-lowering therapies\, tailored to the specific needs and challenges faced by Filipino patients.\n\nLifestyle modifications\, encompassing dietary guidance rooted in local culinary traditions and culturally sensitive exercise recommendations\, will also be thoroughly discussed as integral components of both primary and secondary prevention. Focus on early risk stratification\, timely referral\, and the initiation of appropriate management strategies will also be included.\n\nOur main speaker this week is the multi-awarded President and CEO of Asian Hospital and Medical Center\, Dr. Beaver R.

SUMMARY:“Ghosts of Elections Past: A Few Historical Notes on the 2025 Midterm Elections”
DESCRIPTION:Join us in this forum on “Ghosts of Elections Past: A Few Historical Notes on the 2025 Midterm Elections” this May 16\, 2026 from 1:30 – 5:00 PM at the Performing Arts Hall (PAH)\, UP Cebu.\n\n➡️ Abstract\n\nThe political overdrive normal in electioneering in the Philippines shifted to hyperspace mode after the arrest of former president Rodrigo Duterte to face trial by the ICC in The Hague last March. Instead of attempting to keep pace with the light speed of the news cycle\, this talk looks back\, offering some historical perspective. Given Philippine midterms have often been judged in terms of national senate election results\, the results of these 2025 national elections will be examined as to whether they foreshadow “opposition” strength in the subsequent presidential election.\n\nPolitical splits between the country’s political number One and Two predate even the (procedurally quirky) separate election of the president and vice president back to the colonial era battle for supremacy between Manuel Quezon and Sergio Osmeña\, Sr. The Marcos-Duterte feud (which can be traced back to the 1967 midterms) may prove another occasion in which the underdog becomes a longer-term victor\, as Sara Duterte’s future presidential hopes remain very much alive despite the hyperpresidentialist advantage of the ruling Marcos dynasty.\n\nThe talk concludes with some thoughts about Cebu’s seemingly curious political evolution from a historically “yellow” anti-Marcos bastion to (briefly) a pro-Marcos constituency back to an anti-Marcos (but Duterte-sympathetic) stronghold.\n\nThe keynote speaker is Prof. Dr. Mark Thompson\, the Chair Professor in the Department of Public and International Affairs and former Director of the Southeast Asia Research Centre at the City University of Hong Kong – a globally renowned and respected scholar of political science and public administration.\n\nHe will be joined by Prof. Dr. Cleo Anne Calimbahin\, an esteemed Professor of political science specializing in elections\, corruption\, and democracy studies at De La Salle University- Manila\, noted for her contributions on understanding patronage politics and democracy\, as well as the nature and direction of the political parties in the Philippines.\n\n➡️ The forum is open to the public. Pre-register by filling out this link: https://bit.ly/electionspast-25\n\nSee you this May 16!\n\nSource: University of the Philippines Cebu Facebook
