Wazzup Pilipinas!? 



Manila, Philippines — NYMA Talent Management announces the signing of Bea Chu, a fast-rising creator, creative director, and educator known for her impactful content on storytelling, production, and the creator economy.


Bea Chu has built a growing community of over 670,000 followers across TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube, with content that consistently resonates with aspiring creators. With a video-making background dating back to 2013 and roots in theatre sound design and audio engineering, she brings both creative and technical depth to her work. She first gained widespread attention through a viral TikTok demonstrating how to turn a headset into a DIY lapel microphone—an early example of her ability to make content creation more accessible. Since then, her videos—spanning production techniques, cinematography, audio, and creator growth—have collectively generated millions of views, establishing her as a trusted voice in the creator education space.


She is known for translating complex production concepts into accessible, engaging formats—helping creators elevate both the quality and intention behind their content.


“Bea represents the new wave of creators who are not just influencing audiences, but actively shaping the industry,” said Christian Bautista, President of NYMA Talent Management. “Her ability to educate, inspire, and build a community around creativity aligns perfectly with where the creator economy is heading.”


As a creator-educator, Bea’s content spans cinematography, content strategy, and digital storytelling—bridging the gap between creative passion and professional execution. Her voice resonates strongly with emerging creators navigating today’s fast-evolving digital landscape.


“At NYMA, we are intentional about working with creators who have both purpose and perspective,” said Kat Bautista, Chief Operating Officer of NYMA Talent Management. “Bea brings both. She’s building something meaningful—not just for her audience, but for the broader creator ecosystem.”


Through this partnership, NYMA will support Bea in scaling her platform, developing strategic brand collaborations, and expanding her presence across global markets. The collaboration also aims to position her as a leading voice in creator education—both in the Philippines and internationally.


As the demand for creator-led knowledge and authentic storytelling continues to grow, Bea Chu’s addition to the NYMA roster signals a strong step forward in shaping the future of digital content.

DepEd pours record P25.6B into feeding program to rescue 4.6M learners from hunger




Wazzup Pilipinas!? 





MAKATI CITY, 24 March 2026 — The Department of Education (DepEd) is set to roll out its most ambitious School-Based Feeding Program (SBFP) yet, backed by a historic PhP25.6 billion budget for School Year 2026-2027.



To signal the nationwide scale-up, President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. together with Education Secretary Sonny Angara recently visited Jose Zurbito Sr. Elementary School in Masbate City to provide nutritious meals to learners.



DepEd, led by Secretary Angara, is also set to bring the program closer to urban communities with an upcoming multi-service school engagement on Wednesday at Batasan Hills National High School in Quezon City, where feeding activities will take center stage.



The event will also feature a Bagong Pilipinas Serbisyo Fair for Senior High School graduates, Gulayan sa Paaralan visit, and a lecture for learners on energy conservation to promote responsible energy use.



The unprecedented funding on school-based feeding— more than double the PhP11.8 billion allocated in 2025— aims to provide a lifeline to a record-breaking 4.63 million learners starting this June.



For the upcoming school year, the SBFP will sustain children for an unprecedented 200 feeding days, a significant leap from the 120-day cycle implemented last year when the program reached 3.39 million students.



Secretary Angara underscored that the program is about more than nutrition but also about restoring the dignity and academic potential of every Filipino child.



“We are fulfilling President Bongbong Marcos’ directive to end the cycle of malnutrition in our schools by giving our learners the health to reach their goals,” Angara said.



Starting School Year 2026-2027, SBFP will target universal feeding of Kindergarten to Grade 1, undernourished Grades 2 to 6, pregnant adolescent learners, and vulnerable and marginalized learners beyond Grade 6.



During the President’s Masbate visit, teachers noted that the consistent meal program has already improved daily attendance and classroom engagement.



Under the Marcos administration, the program has rapidly expanded—from serving 1.67 million students in 2023, to 2.11 million students in 2024, then to 3.39 million students in 2025. Back in 2022, the initiative operated on a PhP3.3 billion that covered only 30 feeding days for 3.48 million learners.



The SBFP’s funding has grown to PhP5.7 billion in 2023 to cover 120 feeding days, and PhP11.7 billion in 2024 to cover 175 feeding days.

By extending feeding to 200 days, the administration is embedding nutrition into the basic education framework, moving beyond short-term relief to guarantee long-term learning readiness.
