Goodbye, trolls?' Senate approves bill requiring SIM card registration
In efforts to prevent scams, fake news, and other fraudulent mobile activity, the Senate has approved on its third and final reading a bill that will require subscribers to register and present a valid ID before purchasing a SIM card. Once passed, Senate Bill 2395, or the SIM Card Registration Act will end criminal activities conducted or enabled through mobile phones, the internet or other electronic communication devices. And if you register with a fake identity? That can earn you jail time—the use of fictitious identities to register SIM cards or spoofing ranges from six months to twelve months of imprisonment, or a fine of P200,000. The bill will also prohibit the unauthorized sale of registered SIM cards, and failure to comply...
BSP Gov. Diokno defends new 1,000 design: 'Heroes will remain heroes whether they are in the notes or not'
One P1,000 bill does not a hero make. Or at least that’s the contention of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) in explaining the redesigned ₱1,000 bill that replaces three national heroes with the Philippine eagle. “No, we’re not,” BSP Governor Benjamin Diokno said when asked by banking reporters if the redesign amounts to abandoning heroes. “Heroes will remain heroes whether they are in the notes or not.” From the previous theme of promoting heroes, Diokno said the new direction to feature flora and fauna is in line with the BSP’s current focus to promote sustainability. The BSP recently launched a preview of the newly designed ₱1,000 bill, which will feature a Philippine eagle instead of the previous composite photo of three of...
Next pandemic could be more lethal than COVID, vaccine creator says
© Provided by Interaksyon LONDON — Future pandemics could be even more lethal than COVID–19 so the lessons learned from the outbreak must not be squandered and the world should ensure it is prepared for the next viral onslaught, one of the creators of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine said. The novel coronavirus has killed 5.26 million people across the world, according to Johns Hopkins University, wiped out trillions of dollars in economic output and turned life upside down for billions of people. “The truth is, the next one could be worse. It could be more contagious, or more lethal, or both,” Sarah Gilbert said in the Richard Dimbleby Lecture, the BBC reported. “This will not be the last time a virus threatens our lives and our...

Duterte wíhdráws from 2022 Senate race
Duterte filed his certificate of withdrawal before the Commission on Elections on Tuesday afternoon — just hours after his ally and longtime aide Senator Bong Go officially withdrew from the presidential race.

Popular Philippine Political Families Related to One Another
ARE THE PHILIPPINE POLITICAL FAMILIES RELATED TO ONE ANOTHER? I did a simple search today and found out that Liza Araneta-Marcos (BBM's wife) and Greggy Araneta III (Irene Marcos' husband) are cousins of Mar Roxas. Sandro actually calls Mar, "Tito Mar". In one of the previous interviews, BBM said he is long-time friends with Mar and they meet during reunions and other gatherings. Even though they belong to different political parties with opposing views, outside of politics they are friends and relatives. I also read that Cory Aquino's brother, Pedro Cojuanco, married Rosario "Sari" Cacho. Sari Cojuanco is the aunt of Liza Araneta-Marcos (wife of BBM). Interesting trivia: Pres. Ferdinand Marcos and Pres. Fidel Ramos are second...
