    CHED says okay with mandatory drug testing for college students
    The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) released memorandum order No. 64 that allows higher education institutions (HEI) to conduct mandatory drug testing for the incoming school year 2018-2019. But these institutions are not required to implement the drug testing. CHED "strongly encourages" them to adopt it as part of the requirements for admission and retention policies. If HEIs do adopt the practice, only drug facilities, physicians, and private medical practitioners accredited by the Department of Health can do the drug tests, and the results of all drug tests will remain confidential. Students who refuse to undergo drug testing is subject to sanctions provided in the student handbook. "If the student is found to be drug dependent, the appropriate sanction, intervention, and/or rehabilitation shall be imposed on the student as may be provided in the student handbook and other school policies," the order said.

    70-year-old radio anchor is 'new' dad to a 10-month-old baby
    DZBB anchor Jimmy Gil, 70, and his second wife have been married for about seven years. He has five kids and all of them married, except for his 10-month-old daughter. His wife, 39, got pregnant last year, which took them by surprise. While it's not impossible for a man his age to have a baby, but it's also not something you hear about often. Jimmy and his wife got lucky because they live a healthy lifestyle. It took nine months for his "new dad" state to sink in, though it seems no different what other parents go through -- waking up at night for nappy changes and feedings, saving for her future, and having the energy to attend to his baby, who'll soon be walking. "There's something to look forward to each day. (pep.ph)

    'Wait Until 8th' campaign aims to delay giving cell phones to kids
    According to its website, the Wait Until 8th pledge encourages parents to band together and delay giving their young children their smartphones at least until they reach Grade 8. It had started when a group of moms noticed that first and second graders came to school play dates and birthday parties with the latest smartphone model. The campaign stresses that smartphones impair sleep, interfere with relationships, are addictive, and set kids up for an increased risk of anxiety and depression. When more moms unite to hold off giving their young children cell phones, the campaign says it will help decrease the desire for kids to want a smartphone and ease the pressure on parents to give their child one just because "everyone else has them."
