Delos Santos’ record-breaking feat in SEA Games reinforces praise from Hidilyn Diaz

CHONBURI, Thailand – When Hidilyn Diaz says you’re the future, she means it.

And Albert Ian delos Santos lived up to that billing as he set a new junior world record en route to a weightlifting silver in the men’s 71kg class in the 2025 Southeast Asian Games at the Chonburi Sports School here on Sunday, December 15.

The 19-year-old cleared 186kg in the clean and jerk to break his own junior world mark of 185kg he established in the International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) World Championships in Peru in May and finish with a total of 324kg, which netted a spot in the podium in his SEA Games debut. 

It was a performance that prompted Diaz — the first Filipino to win an Olympic gold medal — to call Delos Santos the future of Philippine weightlifting.

Delos Santos trains with Diaz and her husband-coach Julius Naranjo at their HD Weightlifting Academy in Jala-jala, Rizal. 

“It’s really a lot coming from her. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve looked up to her. And to have an opportunity to train with her and her husband, with the collaboration with my mom and dad, it’s been a blessing. I’m very thankful for everything,” said Delos Santos.

The pride of Zamboanga finished behind reigning world champion Weeraphon Wichuma, the Thai putting a show at home with a 347kg total highlighted by 195kg lift in clean and jerk that shattered his personal senior world record.

Delos Santos’ silver was the Philippines’ first weightlifting medal in this SEA Games after Diaz (women’s 58kg), Rosegie Ramos (women’s 48kg), and Jhodie Peralta (women’s 53kg) all fell short of the podium.

“I wanted to lift the team some way or another. Seeing them, I want to do better for them. I’m not doing this for myself, I want to do this for them. I love my team. We win as one. I just wanted to do it for them,” said Delos Santos.

Delos Santos admitted he was not expecting to set a new record, having failed to clear 185kg in recent training.

Also, he felt under the weather in the lead-up to the competition and dealt with cramps during the clean-and-jerk portion.

But being up there on the stage brought a different beast out of Delos Santos. 

“In future competitions, I know how to trust myself. I’m a different person when it comes to training and competition. That’s good reassurance,” he said. – Rappler.com

Addressing the sustainability question: The Web3 energy narrative

Addressing the sustainability question: The Web3 energy narrative

The post Addressing the sustainability question: The Web3 energy narrative appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. contributor Posted: September 22, 2025 The environmental impact of blockchain technology remains a significant public concern in September 2025. For Web3 to achieve widespread legitimacy, it must present a credible narrative and technological path towards sustainability. The models pioneered by Oraichain, Pinlink, and RSS3 showcase how decentralized networks can be designed for efficiency and can contribute to a more sustainable digital economy. Oraichain, as a sovereign Layer 1, is built on a Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) consensus mechanism. This is inherently more energy-efficient than the Proof-of-Work systems that drew early criticism. By design, its security model relies on economic staking rather than raw computational power, allowing the network to process complex AI computations with a minimal energy footprint compared to its predecessors, aligning its operations with a greener Web3. Pinlink’s DePIN model promotes a more efficient use of existing hardware resources. The relentless construction of massive, power-hungry data centers by tech giants is a major source of energy consumption. Pinlink’s approach is to unlock the value in dormant or underutilized GPUs already in circulation around the world. This “recycling” of computing capacity reduces the need for new hardware manufacturing and makes the overall digital infrastructure ecosystem more resource-efficient. RSS3 contributes to sustainability through its distributed and lightweight design. Unlike a centralized data indexer that requires massive, concentrated server farms, the RSS3 network is run by a global collection of independent nodes. These nodes can be operated on low-power, consumer-grade hardware, distributing the energy load and avoiding the inefficiencies of large-scale, centralized data centers. This architectural choice makes its information layer inherently more sustainable and resilient. Disclaimer: This is a paid post and should not be treated as news/advice.

Alcohol Still Leads Restaurant Beverage Orders, According To Harris Poll

Alcohol Still Leads Restaurant Beverage Orders, According To Harris Poll

The post Alcohol Still Leads Restaurant Beverage Orders, According To Harris Poll appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A new Harris Poll reveals millennials and Gen X still drive alcohol sales in restaurants, while Gen Z mixes drinks, formats, and expectations. Alcohol may still be the default for many American diners, but the latest Harris Poll suggests drinking habits are shifting. While older generations continue to reach for beer, wine, and cocktails, Gen Z is redefining what it means to drink out, focusing more on flexibility, aesthetics, and mood than tradition. Millennials are still loyal alcohol buyers when dining out, but Gen Z’s beverage habits are harder to pin down, according to new Harris Poll data. getty What the new Harris Poll reveals about U.S. beverage behavior In a nationally representative survey conducted by Harris in partnership with eMarketer, 36 percent of Americans reported that alcohol is their preferred restaurant beverage, slightly ahead of soda at 29 percent and water at 21 percent. But in practice, the most commonly ordered items are still non-alcoholic: 89 percent said they ordered water in the past 30 days, and 78 percent ordered soda. Alcohol remains a strong presence, with 69 percent of diners saying they ordered at least one alcoholic drink recently. Cocktails topped the alcohol category, followed by beer, spirits, and wine. While the overall preference is clear, the details begin to diverge once you look at generational breakdowns. Millennials still drive alcohol sales, especially with repeat orders Millennials continue to be the most reliable customers for restaurants selling alcohol. Fifty percent say alcohol is their default drink when dining out, compared to just 25 percent of Gen Z. They also reported significantly more repeat orders over the past month—especially for beer, spirits, and wine. This makes millennials a priority for alcohol brands and on-premise sales strategies. Libby Rodney, the Chief Strategy Officer at The Harris Poll, explained it this…
