Honor Moms with More Than a Gift: Support Their Digestive Health This Mother’s Day

With Mother's Day approaching, it's the best time to celebrate the women who hold our homes and hearts together. This special day honors mothers who navigate life’s many demands with strength, grace, and resilience, often putting the needs of their families before their own. But as they continue to give so much of themselves, it’s equally important to remind them—and ourselves—that they deserve just as much care, too. One of the most meaningful ways we can show that love? By investing in their health, starting from the gut.

Learning That Fits: NTC SmartClass Brings Modern Education for Real Filipino Family Life

What if school didn’t just fit into your child’s routine but also nurtured their passions, personality, and potential? What if it helped them rediscover their natural curiosity—the kind that fuels exploration and fosters a genuine love for learning?

For many Filipino families, traditional education often feels like a daily balancing act. Lengthy commutes, rigid schedules, and a one-size-fits-all model can restrict opportunities for creativity, personal growth, and quality time. It’s no surprise that more parents are seeking learning solutions that prioritize both academic success and holistic development.

NTC SmartClass, a homeschooling program developed by the National Teachers College in partnership with APEC Schools, offers a compelling alternative. More than just a shift in format, it represents a reimagined approach to modern day education—one that empowers students to learn at their own pace, explore their interests, and stay actively engaged in both their studies and their lives
