May 10 2021

Malta Film Commissioner Johann Grech and Minister for Tourism and Consumer Production Clayton Bartolo took to Facebook to announce that more international productions are being filmed in Malta and Gozo. A reality show in Gozo and a new TV series in Malta are set to give more opportunities for Maltese and Gozitan workers in the sector. Between the two projects, the economy will be acquiring around €3 million. Television Malta also met up with Irish actors who are looking forward to revisit our island which, according to them, possesses the ideal ingredients for filming productions.

A British production will be filmed in Dar Bingemma, focused on four friends who visit Malta and end up in a problematic situation. Ghar Lapsi, Mizieb and Ghajn Tuffieha were all zones used in the production. Another Swedish production is taking place in a Gozitan villa, which is expected to generate around €1.5 million into Gozo’s economy and created around 90 new opportunities for work.

May 10 2021

Looking to gift a wonderful mother for Mother’s Day, Ben Camille was asked by eight-year-old Henry’s mother Lorinda to surprise her son with a huge giveaway. Henry was born with a lack of abdominal muscle, with 50% of kids born with said condition dying at birth. Henry has undergone 13 medical operations throughout his life, but despite this he is an immensely joyful and vibrant soul.

For ‘Ben Camille Chats’, the local personality surprised Henry with a free giveaway from Klikk Computers Malta, where he got to choose any gadget he wished for, with the boy seizing the opportunity to have more of his favourite Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 3DS games.

May 10 2021

In an investigation carried out by Popolin, it was discovered that 52% of Maltese youth do not use contraceptives when engaging in sexual activity. Researching sexual education and resources allocated to prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases, it was discovered that 43% of males and 61% of females of 15-years-and-up do not mind not using contraceptives such as condoms or pills.

In reference to previous studies concerning the 2018-2019 scholastic year, 31 female students ended up pregnant – 17 of these at 16-years-old, 11 at 15-years-old and 3 at the age of 14. Popolin spoke to PSCD education official Stephen Camilleri, who stated that education regarding these topics should begin at primary as one’s sexual identity begins to develop the course of one’s entire life.

Antibiotics use dropped by 40% due to mask wearing

May 10 2021

Virologist Chris Barbara stated that due to the health restrictions put in place for the mitigation of COVID-19, use of antibiotics dropped by over 40%. Speaking during an interview on TVAM regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr Barbara stated that despite the vaccine rollout being a success, groups of people meeting up in big crowds is still a premature decision. This, according to Dr Barbara, could lead to further spreading and spikes in cases.

He reminded the public that even those who have been vaccinated can carry and spread the virus to others. Speaking about wearing masks, he exclaimed that it will not be required for a long time and it will come down to the individual whether or not to practice the measure once the official health restriction is lifted.
