"Chinese New Year 2025". Why do Filipinos observed the celebration of Chinese New year?

Chinese New Year is also an observed festival by Filipinos due to the rich historical and cultural ties between China and the Philippines. The Philippines has a large number of Chinese-Filipino or colloquially referred to as *Tsinoy* citizens who have been meaningfully contributing to the economy, culture, and society of the country. Chinese habits and customs have entered the way of Filipino life via centuries-long trade and migration of Chinese people. Chinese New Year, or Lunar New Year, is commemorated as a way of honoring ancestors, ushering in good fortune, and signaling the start of a new year under the lunar calendar. Filipinos, despite having no Chinese heritage, observe the holiday because of Chinese influences on Filipino traditions. Traditions like the presentation of red packets (ang pao) for good luck, preparing special foods for prosperity, and decor with symbols of good fortune are all common. The celebration is now part of the social culture among the Filipino society, as local practices mingle with Chinese practices, and is typically considered a celebratory period for family reunions, get-togethers, and wishes for good fortune and good health in the coming year.

Violence against Women

Violence against women is still one of the most widespread and horrific human rights violations in the world. It comes in many forms, including physical, sexual, emotional, and economic abuse, and impacts women of all ages, races, and socioeconomic statuses. Despite great strides in gender equality and women's rights, violence against women remains unacceptably high, and millions are affected by it each year. This violence is both a personal tragedy for the victims and a social one, undermining communities and hampering the progress of nations. Root Causes The root causes of violence against women are deeply embedded in gender inequality, cultural norms, and systemic discrimination. The society that is patriarchal encourages bad stereotypes that place women on inferior positions, emphasizing how men have control over the woman's body and life. Much violence becomes normative or ignored by community members, law enforcement, and sometimes by governments, so that there are often...
