“To all of you who comment that you admire me as a Mom to Kuya & Bimb, it's because I had the best role model in my Mom,” she said.
“The best tribute I can give her is to continue working hard to provide a good life for my sons, while making sure that they know that they have my unconditional love & lifelong devotion.”
The Queen of All Media also noted that their family’s loss six years ago made them closer with each other since “we realized we just have each other.”
“We're not a perfect family, but we've really been blessed because we continue to make a conscious effort to support, appreciate, and be there for each other,” she added.
From the demanding slopes and severe elevation changes of Pinewoods to the sprawling, flatter and wind-swept fairways of Pradera Verde's Arayat course, Lloyd Go proved that truly elite players aren't defined by the courses they play — but by how quickly they adapt.
Filipina polo player Nicole Eusebio-Fulgencio's standout performance in Malaysia earned the tournament's Most Valuable Player award — a breakthrough the Philippine National Federation of Polo Players (PNFPP) hopes will bring the sport closer to more Filipinos.

MANILA, Philippines — Just as the country’s offshore wind industry seemed poised for takeoff, its inaugural auction has been suspended indefinitely amid current market challenges, including disruptions caused by the Middle East war.
Energy Undersecretary Felix William Fuentebella said the fifth green energy auction (GEA-5) round was placed “on hold until further notice” to give the government time to recalibrate the bidding process.
The recalibration will cover key issues such as port readiness, permitting requirements and the environmental and cost implications of port development.
The Department of Energy (DOE) is also assessing the potential impact of ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East on global supply chains.
“This measure is intended to ensure a more transparent, orderly and implementation-ready auction process,” Fuentebella said in an advisory to all concerned renewable energy stakeholders.
He noted that the suspension would also allow the DOE to further align GEA-5 requirements, timelines and implementation parameters with actual infrastructure readiness, regulations and project development conditions.
“The DOE shall issue the necessary guidelines, supplemental issuances and revised timelines in due course,” added Fuentebella, who chairs the agency’s GEA-Bids Evaluation and Awards Committee.
The indefinite suspension came just weeks after a senior energy official confirmed that nine companies had advanced to the next stage of the evaluation process for the offshore wind auction.
Under the original timetable, the GEA-5 auction proper was supposed to take place on Aug. 27, with notices of award to winning bidders scheduled for Sept. 23.
This landmark auction exclusively covers fixed-bottom offshore wind projects, with original delivery timelines spanning 2028 to 2030.
GEA-5 supports the government’s target of generating the first kilowatt-hours of offshore wind power before the end of President Marcos’ term in 2028.
It is also expected to provide a significant boost to the country’s broader goal of increasing the share of renewables in the energy mix to 35 percent by 2030 and 50 percent by 2040.
