Educated on three continents and a Rotary International scholar, Dr. Magsino arrived in Canada in 1971 and moved to Winnipeg in 1988. He had a lifelong commitment to excellence in higher education, and demonstrated leadership within the Filipino community, which has raised awareness of the important role of immigrants in the cultural diversity of Manitoba. He was an expert in the areas of multiculturalism, immigration, and intercultural education. He was a proli c scholar and a recognized

authority in education, having authored and edited nine books and monographs; published more than 70 articles in various books and journals; authored approximately 80 papers which were presented at international, national, regional, provincial and district conferences; and authored over 50 papers which were presented at seminars, workshops, and lectures. His scholarship evolved over time, but he had a consistent preoccupation with diversity, democracy, multiculturalism, and later on, globalization and cosmopolitanism. In 2006, Dr. Magsino received the Pamana ng Pilipino Award from Philippine President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. is award is a Presidential Award conferred on overseas Filipinos who have brought the country honour and recognition.

Some of his countless commitments to community service included being a member of the Board of Directors of the Winnipeg Foundation and the Seven Oaks General Hospital Foundation, as well as Deputy Commander in Canada for the Order of the Knights of Rizal.

“Magpakailanman” celebrates 20 years of lifechanging stories

The well-loved and multiawarded drama anthology show, “Magpakailanman,” marks 20 years of life-changing stories on GMA Network this November.

As part of its anniversary special, #MPK unveils another collection of inspiring, heartfelt, and even thrilling narratives from various people.

GMA Kapuso Foundation Ambassador and Special Adviser and renowned host, Ms. Mel Tiangco, reveals the secret behind the success of Magpakailanman. “I think it is the sincerity of the show more than anything else. Each one of us, we have our own stories, challenges and personal triumphs. Nakakarelate ang viewers namin sa mga totoong kwento at totoong tao na itinatampok sa MPK.”

This November 26, get ready for an emotional rollercoaster ride with the story of Maegan Aguilar entitled “Listen to My Heart.” The second part of her ever controversial life will air on December 3 via “Love Me for What I Am.”

These special episodes are headlined by highly-talented Kapuso

actress Sanya Lopez as Maegan; Jason Abalos as Xander, the expartner of Maegan; Jon Lucas as Lyndon, Maegan’s weak former lover who distanced their son from her; Dion Ignacio as Oliver, the fourth man in Maegan’s life who might restore her hope in love and in life.

Meanwhile, the spooky season and the anniversary special of Magpakailanman is extended as the show brings to light “Haunted Soul” premiering on December 10.

The horrifying true experiences of Lezlie Hombre were portrayed by multi-awarded and box office icon Bea Alonzo on her first-ever #MPK guesting.

Joining her in this extraordinary storytelling are Marco Alcaraz as Adrian, the deceitful husband of Lezlie; Bing Pimentel as Lezlie's mother who has been her moral compass; Marnie Lapuz as Elaine, the boss of Lezlie who is also a good listener to all her problems; Josh Ivan Morales as Incubus, a male demon that will cause distress in Lezlie’s life.

The death of Lezlie’s mother and the infidelity of her husband weakened her spirit and her faith

in God. Hence, the frailty of her soul becomes an open window for a malevolent entity to attack her. The manifestations were relatively benign in the beginning until they escalated in a terrifying fashion.

How can Lezlie survive these haunting events? Will faith rebuild her once peaceful and normal life?

Don’t miss the anniversary special of ‘Magpakailanman’ this Saturday (November 26) at 8:15 p.m. on GMA-7. Viewers can also stream the show on #MPK’s Facebook and TikTok accounts.

Viewers abroad can also catch the program via GMA Pinoy TV. To subscribe, visit www.gmapinoytv. com.

AJ Raval identified to have given birth in a Pasig hospital - OGIE DIAZ

Sexy actress AJ Raval gave birth to her child with Aljur Abrenica, showbiz reporter Ogie Diaz confirmed in his YouTube channel.

“Nanganak na si AJ Raval noong November 18 or 19 diyan sa isang payak na hospital sa Pasig,” Ogie said.

Diaz also added that Aljur was waiting outside while AJ was delivering their child in her own hospital room.

AJ got to the hospital with her face covered but was later identified because of the tattoo on her chest. Aljur was seen with a face mask which he, later on, took off.

It will be recalled that AJ has repeatedly denied her pregnancy and has posted photos to prove it.
