How emperors and officials were blamed for natural disasters in ancient China

Yet the departure of a senior official does not necessarily mean that the individual was personally responsible for what happened. Recent events in Hong Kong and Spain illustrate the distinction between accepting political responsibility and being directly culpable. In Hong Kong, Chief Executive John Lee and seven senior officials apologised over the Wang Fuk Court fire in Tai Po, which killed 168...

Watsons takes holistic approach to Filipinos’ diabetes care

WORLD Diabetes Day is held annually on Nov. 14, but the entire month of November is a dedicated period on “Early action on diabetes,” which emphasizes early diagnosis, risk reduction for Type 2 diabetes and timely access to care. Among Filipinos, an estimated 4.7 million adults are living with diabetes, and more than half remain undiagnosed, making it a significant health concern in the country. According to the latest Philippines Statistics Authority data, diabetes mellitus is the fifth leading cause of death in the Philippines at 5.9 percent – after ischaemic heart diseases such as coronary heart disease/heart attacks which accounted for 21.2 percent of registered deaths of 23, 448 from January to March 2026; neoplasms or cancers, representing roughly 9.9 percent of deaths; cerebrovascular diseases or strokes at 9.6 percent; and pneumonia at 8.0 percent. Diagnosis — only the beginning Managing diabetes requires daily commitment — from taking prescribed medications and monitoring blood sugar to making lifestyle adjustments and attending regular checkups. As the country’s leading health and wellness retailer, Watsons believes diabetes care must extend beyond the numbers. Through its six-month Diabetes Educator Program, Watsons equips pharmacists with specialized training in diabetes management, patient counseling, and health education. These trained pharmacists serve as accessible healthcare resources, helping customers understand their prescribed treatments, properly use blood glucose monitoring devices, recognize early signs of diabetes, and know when to seek medical attention. By providing practical guidance and addressing everyday concerns, they help make diabetes care more manageable and accessible. “Diabetes management goes beyond keeping blood sugar levels in check. It requires early detection, proper medication, healthy lifestyle choices, regular monitoring and attention t overall health, including blood pressure and cholesterol. Patients should also understand their condition, develop healthy coping habits, and work closely with their healthcare team. With the right knowledge, consistent self-care, and support, patients can reduce their risk of complications and enjoy a better quality of life,” said Dr. Fatma Tiu, president of Diabetes Philippines Inc. Beyond physical health, Watsons also recognizes the emotional challenges of managing a lifelong condition. Patients may experience stress, frustration, or uncertainty as they balance treatment with everyday responsibilities. Having access to knowledgeable healthcare professionals who can listen, provide guidance, and encourage appropriate medical support can make a meaningful difference in their journey. Care solutions To support customers’ varying healthcare needs, Watsons offers a wide range of diabetes care solutions, including prescription medicines, vitamins, blood glucose monitoring supplies and specialized personal care products. Customers can also access free teleconsultation services inclu­ding specialized weight management consultations, by calling 7919-9999. For more accessible monitoring, Blood Glucose Checks are available for only P30 at Watsons, alongside other in-store health services. “The real challenge in managing long-term health isn’t just clinical; it’s human. When someone navigates diabetes care, every choice and every routine carries daily weight. As a trusted healthcare partner, our role extends far beyond the pharmacy shelf. We are reshaping community-based support so that expert guidance, preventive screening, and ongoing care become seamlessly integrated into everyday life, helping ensure no patient feels like they have to navigate their health journey in isolation,” Watsons Philippines Managing Director Danilo Chiong said. Customers can visit their nearest Watsons store for pharmacist guidance and diabetes care essentials or download the Watsons App to explore the wide range of products and services available. Customers can also shop through Click and Collect, with orders ready for pickup in as fast as 30 minutes, or Home Delivery Express, which brings their essentials straight to their doorstep.

A new generation of Filipino fashion designers and entrepreneurs took the spotlight at “The Closet Between Worlds,” a pop-up event in Escolta, Manila, showcasing emerging labels that combine contemporary style, local craftsmanship and sustainable business practices. Organized by Fashion Design and Merchandising (FDM) Business Track students of De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde (DLS-CSB), the inaugural event drew more than 230 fashion enthusiasts to The Art District, providing young creatives with an opportunity to introduce their collections to potential customers and patrons.

Beyond apparel and accessories, the event introduced service-oriented businesses promoting responsible fashion consumption.

Three other student ventures handled the event’s business and digital components: CuHaus managed pop-up and experiential shopping arrangements, Lilo Morii oversaw social media marketing and Untitled handled website management and digital curation. More than a student fashion exhibition, “The Closet Between Worlds” demonstra­ted how emerging Filipino designers are translating creative ideas into businesses while exploring sustainability, craftsmanship and new approaches to retail.

Handmade beauty treats arrive for Christmas

Handmade cosmetics brand Lush launched its Christmas 2026 collection on November 6, introducing new holiday-themed bath, body and skin care products, including cheesecake-scented body butters, chocolate orange shower gels and a packaging-free version of its popular Snow Fairy shower gel. Available in stores and online, the festive lineup combines new product formulations and seasonal fragrances with returning Christmas favorites, alongside pre-wrapped gift sets for holiday shoppers. Among the highlights is the return of Snow Fairy, the brand’s popular bubblegum and candyfloss fragrance first introduced in 2005. This year’s collection features the signature scent in 20 product types, including the new packaging-free shower gel. The fragrance remains one of the brand’s biggest seasonal attractions, with Lush Manufacturing producing more than 5.5 million Snow Fairy products worldwide in 2025. For bath lovers, the new collection includes Christmas-themed bath bombs and bubble bars, with options ranging from candy-scented bubbles to products inspired by a calming Arctic escape. The lineup also includes gentler bathing products for sensitive skin. Bath bombs have been part of Lush’s identity since co-founder Mo Constantine invented the product in her garden shed in 1989.

The shower and soap range, meanwhile, features festive fragrances ranging from cinnamon to citrus, along with new stocking fillers such as Santa soaps. The brand is also expanding its packaging-free offerings. New additions to the lip care category include scrubs, butters and jelly masks made with fresh, seasonal ingredients. Hand-blended in Dorset, England, the products are formulated to help soften and moisturize dry lips. For fragrance enthusiasts, the Christmas selection offers spiced perfumes and warm, nostalgic body sprays, while the body care range includes gourmand-inspired moisturizers and shimmering powders for a festive finishing touch. Beyond the products themselves, Lush continues to emphasize handmade production, ethically sourced ingredients and environmentally conscious packaging. For added shopping convenience, customers can also choose from ready-wrapped gifts, click-and-collect services and instant electronic gift vouchers.
