At halos kalahati ng sinasahod ng isang manggagawang Pilipino, sa pagkain, kabilang ang bigas, napupunta. Pero sa panahon ng pagtaas ng pangungahing mga bilihin dahil sa umiiral na Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (Train), lumabas ang balita mula sa National Food Authority (NFA) na kulang na ang kanilang suplay ng...

‘hope and dignity’: pope calls for peace in easter message
VATICAN CITY — On Christianity’s most joyful day, Pope Francis in his Easter Sunday message called for peace in a world marked by war and conflict, “beginning with the beloved and long-suffering land of Syria,” and extending to the entire Middle East, the Korean peninsula and parts of Africa affected by “hunger, endemic conflicts and terrorism.” Francis reflected on the power of Christianity’s core belief – that Jesus rose from the dead following crucifixion – in his formal “Urbi et Orbi” Easter message delivered from the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica to a packed square below. The pontiff said the message of the resurrection offers hope in a world “marked by so many acts of injustice and violence.” “It bears fruits of hope and...

BEIJING - China will "prudently advance" cooperation with the Philippines on joint oil and gas exploration in the South China Sea, China's top diplomat State Councillor Wang Yi said on Wednesday after meeting his Philippine counterpart.

Along with China, parts of the South China Sea are subject to competing claims from Brunei, Malaysia, Taiwan, Vietnam and the Philippines. The two...

They continue to produce many different products that assist in many of the things we do everyday. However, it didn’t come without struggle. China’s history tells of the trials and triumphs they have had over thousands of years. And while their climb to success is repeated throughout their past, they have held their fair share of secrets, like high execution rates and deeply rooted piracy practices. Yet, China shouldn’t be bashed. Every country has its own secrets that they wish would not be exposed to the world. But while...

Napoles asks sandiganbayan to junk malampaya fund scam charges.
Businesswoman Janet Lim-Napoles has asked the Sandiganbayan Third Division to dismiss her 194 criminal charges in connection with the P900-million Malampaya fund scam. In a 21-page motion to quash dated Feb. 20, Napoles argued that as a private individual who was not accountable for public funds, she could not be charged with 97 counts each of graft and the complex crime of malversation through falsification. Napoles claimed there was no proof of “conspiracy with a public officer” for her to be held liable for the alleged offenses, which were similar to the P10-billion pork barrel fund scheme she was also accused of masterminding. She argued that the Ombudsman prosecutors failed to show that she received undue favor or advantage from...
