Melbourne's Filipino seniors to lead 127th Philippine Independence Day tribute to heroes old and new
Bayanihan in Melbourne Inc. is a group of mostly senior citizens dedicated to combating loneliness through social activities and cultural engagement. The event, themed "Greatness of the Past, Strength of the Present," will pay tribute to figures from Dr José Rizal to modern heroes, including nurses, legal advocates, and community changemakers—featuring Rizal's great-granddaughter, now living in Melbourne. Set to take place at St Peter's Eastern Hill Hall, Melbourne, the celebration will include cultural performances, games highlighting Philippine national symbols, and opportunities for social connection. SBS Filipino 29/05/2025 10:56 In an interview with SBS Filipino, Versie Tamblyn, president of Bayanihan in Melbourne, shared that her personal modern-day heroes are mothers. "Mothers sacrifice so much, especially here in Australia, where there's often little help with raising children, unlike in the Philippines, where you might have nannies, parents, and extended family for support. Mothers are often forgotten, even by their own children, yet they continue to love unconditionally. That's why, for me, mothers are true modern-day heroes.' 📢 Where to Catch SBS Filipino

Your daily horoscope: May 28, 2025
Your outlook on life has been so optimistic of late that some people think you will overreact and go to the other extreme, but they are wrong. The message of your birthday chart is that no matter how good life may be now it will keep getting better. Intense cosmic activity in the area of your chart that governs travel and social activities means you will be even more friendly and outgoing than usual today. Avoid people whose outlook on life is defined by negativity – they are a drain on your energy. The sun, Mercury and Jupiter in the money area of your chart makes this a good time to look at your financial situation and start making plans for a richer and more enjoyable future. Think lucky and you will be lucky, it's really that simple. After being on such an emotional high over the past few days it follows that you could feel a bit down over the next 24 hours, but it is only a temporary blip in your surge to the top. Overall you are still on an upward trajectory. You don't have to conform to other people's expectations and be the life and soul of the party. You have a great deal on your mind at the moment, so you cannot afford to waste time and energy on people who don't know how to be serious. All things are possible for you now and if you can believe that with both your head and your heart the events of the next few days will seem nothing less than miraculous. To start with, a new friendship will inspire you to reach for the stars. When you want something enough no one and nothing is able to stop you, and because you desire to move up in the world all your efforts must now be focused on your career. Powerful people will admire your ambition, and maybe fear it a bit as well. If you can visualize what it is you are trying to accomplish there is no doubt at all that it will soon be a reality. The more you can focus your thoughts on a single ambition the more likely it is your dream result will take shape. Do you have what it takes to compete at the highest level? Of course you do! Make it your business between now and the weekend to act as if the fruits of success are already coming your way. As you think, so it will be. You will have to deal with someone today who is every bit as ambitious as you are and the potential for conflict is clear. However, if you can put aside your competitive instincts for a bit you can find ways to work together that benefit you both. If you approach a task you don't have much enthusiasm for in a positive frame of mind it may turn out to be an enjoyable experience. What you do matters less than the manner in which you choose to do it, so choose energy and excellence. You may not care much for rewards and applause but you are going to get plenty of both over the next few days. How long you remain in the spotlight will depend on how well you handle yourself while every eye in the house is on you. The more advice you get from family and friends and colleagues today the more inclined you will be to ignore it and that's a good thing. As one of the zodiac's most intuitive signs you know you can trust what your inner voice tells you. Discover more about yourself at

D.C. housemates turn to older means of connection: a print magazine
They tried a lot of things to find community in Washington: recreational kickball, trivia night and other rites of social passage for young people in the busy city. None of it really stuck. So, this group home of five 20-somethings in D.C.'s Adams Morgan neighborhood found something else that embodies the classic spirit of District residents — an off-hours activity that combines whimsy and work.
