Trump Lifts Ban On Huawei Buying From US Suppliers If National Security Isn’t Risked
Trump Lifts Ban On Huawei Buying From US Suppliers If National Security Isn’t Risked After month of what can only have been chaos within the Huawei ranks, United States President, Donald Trump, has confirmed that companies based in the U.S. can once again deal with the tech giant. This comes after he added Huawei to a list of companies that were forbidden from working with U.S. companies. That then led to multiple companies distancing themselves from Huawei, including Google. That was a problem for Huawei because it replies on Google to provide the underpinnings of Android for its phones. Multiple chip companies also stopped working with Huawei, throwing its phone and networking businesses into disarray. Huawei founder and CEO...
Mas matindi pa daw sa ROTC, Mandatory youth military service advocates ni "bato" dela rosa
Requiring Filipino youth to serve in the military would improve the country's territorial defense, says senator-elect Bato dela Rosa. File/Fernando G. Sepe Jr., ABS-CBN News MANILA—Senator-elect Ronald "Bato" dela Rosa said he will prioritize a bill making military service mandatory for Filipino youth, instead of just registering them for the Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC). "Like other countries na pagdating mo ng 18 years old, obligado ka na mag-serve sa military for 2 years. Walang pakialam ang gobyerno kung anak ka ng mayaman o ng mahirap, kung sikat ka o artista ka. Maganda rin iyon," he said in an interview on UNTV on Wednesday. The former police chief said this would improve the country's territorial defense. "Itong mga...

new law: students will have to plant 10 trees before they can graduate
Under a new law, students must plant 10 trees before they can graduate elementary, high school and college Under the new Bill, students graduating elementary school, high school, and college in the Philippines must plant at least ten tree seedlings in areas such as forests, mangroves, and indigenous territories. Here’s one way to plant 175 million trees within a year: get young people to do it for school. On May 15, the Philippine Congress officially passed a Bill stating that all students from elementary school, high school, and college (roughly equivalent to primary school, secondary school and university) must plant at least 10 trees in order to graduate, CNN reported. The trees can be planted in either forest, mangroves...
THE PHILIPPINES IS DOWN FOR THE COUNT . . .
And the count is at six. The Philippine government’s appeasement with China is one of the world’s most self-destructive historical moments. China is sitting in Philippine seas blocking Filipino fishermen from food sources and destroying the ecosystems that support fish re-generation. It is a royal disaster promising long-term devastation . . . done by China, yes . . . but enabled by the Philippines. The government has stopped defending Filipinos in favor of China. The government incredibly took the side of the Chinese ship that rammed a Filipino fishing vessel rather than the 22 Filipinos left for dead as the Chinese boat sailed away. The government refused to defend Hong Kong Immigration’s harassment of a former Filipino cabinet...

THE PHILIPPINES: a black hole of lunacy, lies, and unkindness
I slipped into my Star Trek space machine to look down on Earth as if it were an alien planet. It quickly became evident that the creatures on this watery orb are not very friendly, and they are not very smart. Their time on the planet is ending soon . . . they’ve managed to heat the place beyond saving . . . yet they continue to argue and try to find more wealth and power than the next guy. There are tribes of bickering humanoids all over the planet. In one land mass, a place organized as America, they have agreed to be led by a narcissistic lunatic who lies all the time and, rather than unifying his tribe, is dividing it into angry hordes who are at each others’ throats every day. They are driven by greed, by money, and by power...
Why does the President lie?
Last Friday, he did it again. On a TV show hosted by controversial Christian cult leader Apollo Quiboloy, President Duterte invented new untruths, this time against the outstanding journalist Ellen Tordesillas. He said Tordesillas, the president of Vera Files, was suffering from cancer and asking sources for money. In fact, Tordesillas has been cancer-free for several years already, and as she said in a straightforward statement, it was her Malaya publisher, Jake Macasaet, who had shouldered her expenses. She never asked her sources for money. These facts are, if not open knowledge, at least easily accessible information to anyone who asks. Why would the President tell such an obvious, easy-to-refute lie? That is the question. Why...

Sad Truth
Sa totoo lang andaming magaling na kandidato ang hindi nanalo at nasayang lang. Wala e, di kasi tayo lahat e nabibigyan ng tamang edukasyon kung sino ba ang dapat iboto at sino ang hindi. kung sino pa yung mga may experience at alam mong makakagawa ng pagbabago e sila pa yung mga binabalewala. This election is a joke but it's not because of the candidates, but because of us, tayong mga pinoy na di alam kung sino ba at kung gaano kahalaga ang kanilang boto para sa ating bayan.

Lacson speech on continued corruption at BOC has basis — ex-Customs chief Lapeña
Former Customs commissioner Isidro Lapeña on Wednesday said Senator Panfilo Lacson's recent privilege speech on the supposedly continuing corruption at the Bureau of Customs (BOC) has basis. Lacson said last week that he had learned the "tara system" at the bureau has not been suppressed, two years after he exposed the names of Customs officials whom he alleged received bribes to facilitate the entry of shipments into the country. In his speech, Lacson, a former National Police chief, said the Office of the Commissioner (OCOM) receives an average of P5,000 per container plus 10% of the collections of each section/office directly under OCOM; P3,000 for Intelligence Group; P1,000 to P2,000 for Enforcement Group; P3,000 for Risk Management...

Huawei membership with Wi-Fi Alliance, SD Association suspended
More companies are removing or limiting their ties with Huawei in response to its US blacklisting, and this time it's the Wi-Fi Alliance and the SD Association. In a report by Nikkei, the Wi-Fi Alliance said that it has "temporarily restricted" Huawei, limiting the Chinese company's voice when it comes to setting Wi-Fi standards.

Meanwhile, JEDEC, another standards organization for semiconductors, has also confirmed to Nikkei that Huawei has voluntarily decided to withdraw its membership. "On May 17, 2019, Huawei Technologies notified JEDEC that it had decided to...
Batang Pinoy, idineklarang Servant of God ng Vatican
dineklara ng Vatican bilang Servant of God ang Pilipinong si Darwin Ramos na yumao noong 2012 dahil sa isang karamdaman. Ngayong linggo, darating sa bansa mula Roma ang paring nagsumite ng pangalan ni Darwin upang magbigay ng ulat at gagawin ng Diocese of Cubao sa pagsusulong kay Darwin at maideklara nang Vatican na batang santo, ayon sa ulat ng ABS-CBN News. Masaya naman ang pamilya ni Darwin dahil dito. Mabait at masunurin na anak raw si Darwin at sa kabila ng kanilang kahirapan ay hindi nagreklamo.

Hindi rin daw ito nagrereklamo kahit pa nga noong nagsimula na itong magkaroon ng karamdaman. Kwento pa ng kapatid nito...
DICT eyes 'hybrid' poll system where results are out in five hours
Acting Secretary Eliseo Rio Jr. on Wednesday said the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) is eyeing an "automated manual counting" system for the 2022 elections where the winning candidates will be known five hours after polling precincts close. Rio said DICT is currently studying how to fasten the manual counting at the precinct level, remove the need to tally votes on blackboards, and lessen the number of board of canvassers. "Hybrid po more or less. Automated yung manual counting, ibig sabihin pinabilis ng teknolohiya yung pagbilang," Rio said in an interview on Dobol B sa News TV. "Ang [concern] lang namin is paano pabibilisin yung manual counting, paano i-automate yun na makikita ng tao yung pagbilang ng...

The next version of its Android smartphones will also lose access to popular services...

These were fumigated earlier and boarded on MV Bavaria in Subic and expected to arrive in Vancouver, Canada on June 22. ... glorious day for the government.
