Every weave tells a story. For generations of Filipino weavers, each strand on the loom has carried history, identity, and pride. These artisans rise before dawn, sit before their looms, and let their hands speak in color and thread, each pattern a reflection of communities and cultures that refuse to fade.

Watch the international tournament wrap up hot this weekend – only on Cignal TV that comes with your PLDT Home Fiber Unli All Plan 1399!
For the star athletes playing at the FIVB Men’s Volleyball World Championship, a life of competition means immense sacrifice – especially when it comes to family life. The way to provide for their families is often through the rigorous and intense sports schedules far away from the ones they love most.
What gives them the strength to play at the highest level? More often than not, it's that same love that awaits them off the court. Their home – not a physical place, but a feeling – is wherever their family is.
Here, we list down some of these men’s volleyball idols wearing their hero hat both on and off the court. We also pay tribute to their partners, children, and more supporters cheering them on from the sidelines.

Here, we list down some of these men’s volleyball idols wearing their hero hat both on and off the court. We also pay tribute to their partners, children, and more supporters cheering them on from the sidelines.
Benjamin Toniutti (France)
As the 10-year veteran setter and captain of the French national team, as well as a professional player in the PlusLiga league in Poland, Toniutti is the quiet orchestrator of one of the world's best squads. He's also the proud father of three daughters with his wife, Emilie.
For Toniutti, finding balance between a high-stakes career and his family is paramount. His unwavering focus on the court is often fueled by the knowledge that he's playing for more than just a medal – he’s playing to make his family proud. Every set is a testament to the support system that gives him the strength to lead on the world stage.
“My wife and three children are in France on a daily basis, so I spend more time alone between training and matches,” Toniutti said in an interview with PLS earlier this year, speaking on the decision to keep his family in France.
“(My eldest daughter) has close friends in France and also plays volleyball, so we wanted to provide her with more stability and joy in her social life. As soon as there are some breaks in school, my family visits me in Poland, so we see each other quite often, on average once every six weeks. When my family comes to visit me, we spend as much time as possible with each other.”

Earvin N’Gapeth (France)
Nicknamed "Magic" for his explosive and unpredictable style (as well as after his namesake, NBA legend Earvin “Magic” Johnson), the French outside hitter, Turkish league pro player, and two-time Olympic champ is a force to be reckoned with. But beyond the court, N’Gapeth is a dedicated father to his two sons, Mathys and Dany.
Last year, following the French national team’s gold in Paris, N’Gapeth signed with local club Stade Poitevin Poitiers – a move that gave him some much-needed quality time with his brood.
“(Playing for Poitiers) gave me the opportunity to be home for four months with my family, something I hadn’t done for a long time, so it gave me a lot of strength to come back and say I’m able to go until (the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics),” he said in a recent interview.
N’Gapeth's journey highlights the profound sacrifices athletes make to be away from their loved ones while competing. He has spoken about his close bond with his boys, showing that love and connection remains a powerful motivator, propelling him to new heights in his career.

Micah Christenson (USA)
Team USA’s captain and Olympic bronze medalist Christenson has a deeply personal way of keeping his family close and loving, even when he's thousands of miles away. His wife Brooke and their three children – Ezekiel, Quinn, and Finley – doodle heartfelt messages of support on his volleyball shoes before every tournament, he told a local publication recently as he was in the thick of the FIVB Men’s World Championship in Manila.
For Christenson, 32, those colorful scribbles are a reminder that home is always with him. They represent his core purpose: the people who matter most. "It’s a piece of family and home that I have with me when I’m on the court," the star setter said, showing that even in the toughest moments, he is never alone.

Wilfredo Leon (Poland)
The Cuban-Polish outside hitter who’s part of the highly acclaimed “Generation of Miracle” in Cuban volleyball is also a well-known family man, as evidenced by his many social media posts featuring his wife and three children.
In fact, Leon, 32, has even gone on to declare that his children are his greatest achievements. “No other achievement can compare to (the birth of his child),” he said in an Instagram post when he welcomed his first daughter back in 2017.
One of his biggest life decisions, however, was to secure a Polish citizenship not only to get better treatment as an athlete outside of Cuba, but also to honor and be closer to his journalist-wife Małgorzata. The two connected back in 2011 in a heartwarming love story that sprouted from their work.
“(One of the reasons I left Cuba is) the fact that my wife – my girlfriend at that time – is Polish and I couldn’t see her outside of Cuba,” he said in a 2020 interview with Olympics.com. “I love everything about (Poland). My life here is nice, I've never had any kind of problems.”

Bryan Bagunas (Philippines)
Alas Pilipinas’ power hitter is a true testament to finding strength from home. Bagunas, who plays internationally in Taiwan, married his long-time partner Nicole Tracy Tan last year. The couple welcomed their first child last May.
“A single moment that changed my life forever,” Bagunas wrote on Instagram, honoring his wife. “You are beyond amazing. Watching you bring our son into this world was the strongest and most beautiful thing I’ve ever witnessed. (I’m so proud of you), and so thankful I get to walk this new journey with you.”
Bryan's story is particularly inspiring as he navigates a career that often takes him away from the Philippines. His family is his main inspiration and motivation, proving that no matter the distance, the connection remains strong, serving as a powerful reminder of what he is playing for.

Cebu Pacific Air, the Philippines’ leading carrier, has partnered with De La Salle University (DLSU) - Manila to mentor future aviation engineers through its Design Engineering Program.
The five-year collaboration, formalized through a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), will give select DLSU engineering students the opportunity to work closely with CEB’s technical experts in designing and developing projects for real airline operations. These will include smart systems for aircraft maintenance and sustainable mobility solutions for the carrier’s facilities.
The outputs of these projects will also serve as their thesis or capstone requirements. “This partnership invests in more than projects—it invests in people. By guiding young engineers to innovate with purpose, we are building the future of Philippine aviation together,” said Shevantha Weerasekera, CEB Vice President for Engineering and Fleet Management.
Twenty-five DLSU engineering students have been chosen for the program’s pilot run this year. This marks CEB’s first formal partnership with a university to embed practical airline industry experience into higher education. The airline said it plans to expand the program to more schools in the coming years as part of its long-term investment in Philippine aviation.
The initiative also reflects CEB’s broader push to develop homegrown talent. In May 2025, the airline launched its OFW Balikbayan Program, which encourages engineers working overseas to return and share their expertise with the local sector.

It’s refreshing to finally watch a vibrant, lively superhero film again. The color grading alone already made me feel nostalgic—even though I’m a '90s baby! Hehe.Now, let’s talk about the cast. To be honest, I’m still very much Team John Krasinski and Chris Evans—they are Reed Richards and Johnny Storm for me. So I wasn't 100% sold on the new lineup at first. But Pedro Pascal? Of course he’s not bad with anything. Haha! Eventually, I liked him as Reed. And after watching Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm? I’m totally sold. She nailed it. She deserves “Mother of the Year” just for this movie.
Galactus was so good. Hoping he had more screen time and a stronger backstory, he could’ve been even more terrifying than Thanos, especially for viewers who aren’t familiar with the comics.
As for Silver Surfer (or Shalla-Bal in this version)—I had mixed feelings. Julia Garner is a great actress, but her portrayal didn’t quite match the image I had in mind. I expected a tall, commanding, voluptuous presence. She was scary, yes—but not as visually intimidating as I imagined.
The visual effects were mostly solid, except that one part—in a bad way. When The Thing carried the baby, the CGI felt a little off and jumpy. Maybe it’s because I didn’t watch it in IMAX? It was definitely noticeable.
Story-wise, I loved the reintroduction. The pacing and conflict were well-placed. I'm just curious why they added The Thing’s love interest subplot. Anyone else noticed that? Let me know if there’s a reason behind it.
Overall, it’s a great comeback for the Fantastic Four. Way better than I expected—especially after Thunderbolts. I'm now super curious to see how they’ll explore Franklin Richards and his insane power level in the future.
If you’re planning to watch it, I suggest going all out and seeing it on the big screen or IMAX. Totally worth it.

Let’s be real—saying “I love you” out loud isn’t always easy, especially to Dad. But foodpanda is here to remind us that sometimes, we don’t need to find the perfect words… just the perfect meal.
Because for many Filipino families, love is often shown through shared food—his favorite ulam, a hearty comfort meal, or that special dish that brings back childhood memories. With foodpanda, it’s easier than ever to say “mahal kita” in the most Pinoy way possible: through delicious, thoughtfully delivered food.
Love, Delivered Straight to Dad
Whether your bond with Dad is full of loud jokes or quiet moments, showing your appreciation doesn’t have to be complicated. With foodpanda’s reliable delivery, flexible scheduling, and endless food choices, sometimes all it takes is the scent of his favorite dish arriving at the door to say everything your heart wants to express.
Even from Afar, You’re Still Close at Heart
If you’re living in another city—or even just across town—and can’t sit down for a meal together, don’t worry. foodpanda makes it possible to bridge that gap with meaningful, delicious surprises. Let Dad know you’re thinking of him and grateful for all that he’s done, no matter the distance.
Celebrate with Savings, Too!
Honoring Dad doesn’t have to break the bank. From June 13 to 15, enjoy ₱555 cashback when you order food using the code LOVEYOUPA. Want more exclusive perks? Subscribe to pandapro and get 15% cashback with the code PROCB, or save big with 30% off a 12-month plan using GORPRONA. With these deals, you can show love and save at the same time!
For Every Father Figure in Your Life
Whether it’s your dad, lolo, tito, stepdad, kuya, or someone who’s been a father figure to you, this day is about honoring them all. And foodpanda is here to help you do just that—with meals that speak volumes, even when words don’t come easy.

Summer is officially here in the Philippines! PAGASA announced that the dry season began on March 26, 2025, and we can already feel the heat. Since I work late at night and sleep during the day, having a cool and comfortable room is really important.
This year, we’re planning to buy a new air conditioner, and we’re excited about Home Credit’s Swakto Summer Deals. We found out that we can get a quality air conditioner without spending too much. The installment plans start at just PHP 766 per month, which fits perfectly into our budget. Plus, with 0% interest and no down payment, paying for the air conditioner over time is easy and hassle-free.
Getting approved for the installment plan was super fast—we only needed one valid ID, and we were approved in about a minute!
Here are a few air conditioners we’re considering:
These models are available at over 15,000 Home Credit partner stores, including Ultrium Corp, across more than 75 provinces nationwide, making it convenient to find what we need.
We can download the Home Credit App from Google Play, the App Store, or the Huawei AppGallery. It’s easy to check our eligibility and get pre-approved for an installment plan. We can also visit Shoppingmall.ph to explore all the Swakto Summer offers, compare options, and locate the nearest store to buy our new air conditioner.
As the summer heat sets in, I'm seriously considering getting an air conditioner through Home Credit’s Swakto Summer Deals. The offers are practical and budget-friendly. It feels like the smart way to stay cool and comfortable this season.
