The Trinidad and To­ba­go Man­u­fac­tur­ers’ As­so­ci­a­tion (TTMA) is mourn­ing the death of Sean Roach of Langston Roach In­dus­tries Lim­it­ed, de­scrib­ing his pass­ing as a pro­found loss to the coun­try’s man­u­fac­tur­ing and busi­ness com­mu­ni­ties.

Agri­cul­ture con­sul­tant Riyadh Mo­hammed is call­ing for a sharp­er fo­cus on the eco­nom­ic re­turns from Gov­ern­ment spend­ing on agri­cul­ture, ar­gu­ing that the up­com­ing na­tion­al bud­get must move be­yond its tra­di­tion­al fo­cus on al­lo­ca­tion mon­ey to mea­sur­ing how ef­fec­tive­ly those in­vest­ments trans­late in­to pro­duc­tion, stronger farm busi­ness­es and greater food se­cu­ri­ty.

Across Trinidad and To­ba­go, the Min­istry of Health’s pub­lic health cam­paigns ad­vise the pop­u­la­tion to move more. These cam­paigns seek to re­duce non-com­mu­ni­ca­ble dis­eases (NCDs) like di­a­betes and hy­per­ten­sion; com­mu­ni­ty fit­ness dri­ves pro­mote struc­tured ex­er­cise—walk­ing, cy­cling, gym work­outs, or week­end sports. Cillekens et. al. (2026) chal­lenges the one-size-fits-all ap­proach by ask­ing: Are our glob­al phys­i­cal ac­tiv­i­ty guide­lines built for every­body, or are they ex­er­cise guide­lines de­signed for the priv­i­leged?

It was sup­posed to be just an­oth­er rou­tine flight. In­stead, a ter­ror at­tack on Cubana de Aviación Flight 455 end­ed with 73 lives lost and a re­gion left in shock. As the Caribbean mourned, Trinidad and To­ba­go leapt in­to ac­tion – un­rav­el­ling the plot, ex­pos­ing the per­pe­tra­tors and lead­ing the charge for jus­tice.

There is now a de­sire to parse words over (i) leg­isla­tive change, as op­posed to (ii) pro­ce­dur­al mo­tions, in re­la­tion to the cast­ing vote.
