Denmark bans phones in primary and secondary schools
Its long-awaited report, published on Tuesday, raised the alarm over the digitisation of children and young people’s lives and called for a better balance between digital and analogue life. The minister for children and education, Mattias Tesfaye, told Politiken: “There is a need to reclaim the school as an educational space, where there is room for reflection and where it is not an extension of the teenage bedroom.” The chair of the commission, Rasmus Meyer, compared the mobile phone ban to not allowing smo̾king in schools and said that the moment a child is given a smartphone “it will colonise the child’s entire life”.

The Allies.
Leni: Mahahalintulad natin sa WPS ang Ukraine, maliit pero lumalaban dahil strong relationships nya sa kanyang mga allies. 😎 CNN — The United States joined Russia to vote against a UN General Assembly resolution condemning Russia’s war against Ukraine Monday in a stunning shift from years of US policy. The vote against the Ukrainian and European-backed resolution saw the US at odds with its longtime European allies and instead aligned with the aggressor in the war on the three-year anniversary of Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The US again voted the same way as Russia later Monday on a US-proposed UN Security Council resolution that did not call the Kremlin the aggressor or acknowledge Ukraine’s territorial integrity.

Till Next Time.
Pinapa-disqualify sa Commission on Elections (COMELEC) ang CWS Party-list na namigay ng kotse sa isang event sa Batangas dahil pasok umano ito sa vote buying. Kuha sa isang video ang "last to take hands off" challenge sa Barako fest sa Lipa City kung saan ang partido umano ang nag-sponsor ng sasakyan, ayon kay Mataas na Kahoy Vice Mayor Jay Iligan. Ginamit ng bise alkalde ang video upang gawing ebidensya para magsampa ng disqualification case laban sa partido. Base sa Section 26 ng resolusyon ng COMELEC sa Kontra Bigay, maituturing na vote buying ang pamimigay ng premyo, pagpapa-raffle, pagpapa-bingo o anumang palaro ng kandidato. #BilangPilipino2025 #News5 | via Mon Gualvez WATCH: https://phc.onl/#forbidden#/diAeh4FWO3w

China's Baseless Accusation: Who Really Undermines Peace in the South China Sea?
China repeatedly claims that the Philippines is deliberately undermining peace and stability in the South China Sea. This accusation is not only misleading but also a blatant attempt to shift the blame away from Beijing’s own aggressive actions in the region. If there is any country truly causing instability, it is China itself, with its relentless provocations, îllégâl territorial claims, and militarization of disputed waters. China’s Repeated Provocations For years, China has been unilaterally expanding its control over the South China Sea, violating international law and disregarding the rights of its neighboring countries. The Philippines, on the other hand, has consistently sought peaceful resolutions through diplomatic means and...

The #SupremeCourtPH En Banc has set oral arguments in the petitions questioning the constitutionality of the 2025 national budget and the Maharlika Fund. ---- In G.R. No. 277975, Victor D.
