Baguio City- Filipino boxing trainer Marvin Somodio has been officially inducted into the U.S. National Boxing Hall of Fame Class of 2026, marking a major milestone in his career as one of the sport’s most respected cornermen on the global stage.

Somodio began his journey in boxing as a trainer and coach in Shape Up gym in Baguio City, where he honed his skills and working with local fighters.

His big break came when he was discovered by Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach during the time Manny Pacquiao was training in Baguio. Impressed by his dedication and skill, Roach brought Somodio into the international boxing scene, opening doors for him to work with world-class fighters.

From those humble beginnings, Somodio went on to train champions and become a key figure in elite boxing circles.

He expressed gratitude to fellow Filipinos around the world, saying, "Maraming Salamat! Sa lahat ng mga Pinoy sa buong mundo, just do what you love and love what you do.”

The Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) is now moving forward with the Clark International Airport (CRK) second runway project as it begins the detailed design phase, marking a key step in improving the airport's efficiency and supporting long-term aviation growth in Central Luzon.

Following a competitive bidding process, the BCDA has awarded the detailed engineering design of the runway to the joint venture of Schema Konsult Inc. and South Korea-based Yooshin Engineering Corp., with a total project cost of Php206.9 million.

The additional runway will serve as a backup to the main runway in the event of operational disruption or unavailability, ensuring continuity of safe operations and enabling non-stop airport activity. The expansion is also expected to support increasing demand from logistics carriers and improve overall airport efficiency.

This project is aligned with the Marcos administration's push to modernize the country's transport infrastructure and strengthen the logistics network along the Luzon Economic Corridor.

"By building a second runway, we are taking a significant step toward strengthening CRK's operational resilience and long-term capacity.

This development will build in redundancy to ensure uninterrupted operations, minimize the risk of disruption, and enhance Clark's competitiveness as a premier logistics and aviation hub," BCDA President and Chief Executive Officer Joshua M. Bingcang said.

"More importantly, this development will benefit Clark and the wider Central Luzon region by enhancing connectivity for locators and businesses, while also generating more employment opportunities for the local communities as airport and related support services expand," he added.

The detailed engineering design phase is targeted for completion by the second quarter of 2027.

Once the design is finalized, BCDA will conduct a separate bidding process for the construction phase, with the new runway projected to become operational by the fourth quarter of 2029.

The Clark International Airport is fast emerging as a premier gateway in the country, having served 2.75 million passengers in 2025. International logistics giants, UPS and FedEx, are also expanding their logistics operations at the airport.

To support the growing demand, as well as the operational requirements of its locators, the BCDA, in partnership with the Department of Transportation, is pushing forward the development of additional airside infrastructure in CRK, including taxiways, aprons, runways, and utilities.

These will enable CRK to accommodate more aircraft movement, improve turnaround times, and enhance overall operational efficiency.

A new haven for wellness and reflection has opened at Camp John Hay. The Tranquility Park, spanning approximately 896 square meters, was formally launched today as part of John Hay Management Corporation’s continuing efforts to enrich the area’s attractions and nurture community well-being.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony was led by JHMC President Manjit Singh Reandi, who reminded staff and service providers: "Development means sustaining what we have built. Let us help one another to preserve and nurture it. The opening of a project does not mark the end of responsibility; it marks the beginning of it.”

Inspired by Camp John Hay’s historic role as a rest and recreation site for U.S. soldiers during World War II, the park reimagines that legacy for the present. It now offers the public a serene space for meditation, exercise, and social connection—an environment where heritage and modern wellness meet.

Designed by Architect Leonardo Biasura, Jr., with the significant creative input of JHMC’s Project Management Division, Environment Management Division, General Services Division, and the Aesthetic Enhancement Committee, the park embodies a vision of symmetrical balance. Its layout invites visitors to leave behind daily stresses and embrace tranquility.

Among its key features are a central meditation statue, landscaped walkways for relaxation, and open areas that blend wellness activities with community interaction. The design emphasizes simplicity and harmony with nature, encouraging mindfulness, peace, and a renewed sense of balance.

This year saw the inclusion of the ladies division with five teams, including one from the United States, are vying for titles.

Adding excitement to this year’s edition is the participation of junior golfers, with the youngest entrant aged 10, alongside lady golfers from both the Cordillera region and the United States.

Several entries are also seasoned competitors from the prestigious Fil-Am Invitational Golf Tournament, widely regarded as the longest-running and largest amateur golf tournament in the Asia-Pacific region.

Beyond competition, the annual tournament continues to gain strong support from partners and sponsors due to its sustained outreach initiatives funded through tournament proceeds.

Since its inaugural staging in 2023, CGFI has funded the construction of school buildings in remote Cordillera communities and donated internet connectivity devices, laptops, and other educational equipment to public schools.

This year, CGFI further expanded its impact by donating four hemodialysis machines to key public hospitals, including facilities in Bontoc, Kalinga, Apayao, and Benguet.

The hemodialysis machines donated for the Dennis Molintas District Hospital in Bokod, Benguet and Bontoc General Hospital in Mountain Province are already operational.

The machines for Flora District Hospital in Apayao and Kalinga Provincial Hospital are up for instillation this week.

Additional medical equipment has also been distributed to selected rural health clinics, along with wheelchairs and basic healthcare tools for 10 rural health units in Abra.
