BACK AMBASSADOR DR. TITANILLA TOTH For Hungarian Ambassador Dr. Titanilla Tóth, the Philippines’ bond with Western countries, especially Hungary, is a great advantage that should be strengthened. Helen Hernane Photography by Manuel Generoso On September 28, 1973, diplomatic ties between the Philippines and Hungary were officially established. Nearly two decades later, the two countries inaugurated embassies in Manila and Budapest. But in 1995, the Hungarian Embassy’s activities in the Philippines were suspended. The reopening of their embassy in Manila in 2016 was a major milestone for both countries and saw the signing of an important agreement on economic cooperation. This led to the founding of a Joint Committee on Economic Cooperation. Beyond history and papers, however, Hungary has been true to their word and has helped our country in certain areas of cooperation—education, agriculture, science and technology (S&T), innovation, culture, and sports.

For the Children BY HELEN HERNANE PHOTOGRAPHY BY DANIEL SORIANO As an expectant mother, Congresswoman Cha Hernandez is focused on making sustainable, long-term improvements for the city—progress that would benefit current and future generations. At eight months pregnant, Congresswoman Charisse Anne “Cha” Hernandez-Alcantara of Calamba, Laguna understands that many expect her to rest and not strain herself too much with work. Hernandez also admits that she finds it somewhat difficult to juggle public service and carrying a child, especially during the third trimester. But she fervently believes that every child, including hers, is a blessing and also, a lucky charm, as many people have often told her. “During my campaign, I would go around every day and meet people face to face from morning to night,” she recalls. “And I think [me being pregnant] solidified my message that I am just like them. My situation reflects most women’s lives; I’m not the first woman working at eight months pregnant.” Not even a month after the elections, Hernandez is already out and about, connecting with one sector after another. LEAGUE trailed after the newly-elected congresswoman who spent the entire morning listening to farmers, who launched a seminar, and the fisherfolk, who held a boodle fight with her for lunch. Her arrival and presence in each meeting lacked the pomp and circumstance often associated with political bigwigs. On the contrary, her simple outfit, visible baby bump, and calm, caring voice (with a forceful undertone) made her appear less of a politician and more of an ordinary Filipino mother. CALAMBA’S FUTURE Pregnancy, the congresswoman shares, also gives her a different sense of focus that helps push her forward in striving for a better City of Calamba. Her internal motivation is to create a clean, thriving city for her son and for others of his generation to inherit. “Also, I want my children to be proud of me, that someday they could say that I did my best and worked hard even while pregnant. I want them to be proud of the city we helped build when they grow up, to have people tell my children that I did my best as a public servant. I think that’s one good motivation for me,” the neophyte congresswoman reveals. Hernandez, however, also had big plans for Calamba even prior to her winning the seat in Congress. As a councilor, her vision was mostly fixing the major issues that the city faced—traffic, environment, waste management, and more. While her current position enables her to improve the city....
