The Philippine Army is set to begin training its soldiers with the U.S. Typhon missile system, which is designed for mid-range strike capabilities. The training is scheduled to take place in mid-February and will involve around 20 soldiers from the Philippine Army's artillery regiment. The exercise is part of the broader U.S.-Philippine military cooperation, particularly in enhancing the Philippines' defense capabilities amid regional security concerns. The Typhon missile system, which includes Tomahawk cruise missiles, was introduced during the "Balikatan" joint exercises in 2024. The system's ability to target long-range threats makes it a significant addition to the Philippines' military arsenal. While China has E×ρréššed objections...

On Tuesday, the Sandiganbayan found Maslog guilty of graft, sentencing her to six to ten years in prison under Republic Act 3019. Maslog had posed as an agent for a textbook publisher, defrauding the then-Department of Education, Culture, and Sports (DECS). Maslog, who allegedly faked her death in 2019 to evade prosecution, was arrested by the NBI in September 2024 for her role in an investment scam.

The Sandiganbayan is also reviewing her temporary release from NBI custody on January 6 due to an alleged release order. The court has directed the NBI to submit a progress report clarifying the matter. Maslog remains in detention as...

US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to begin the process of withdrawing the US from the World Health Organization (WHO). Carrying out this executive action on day one makes it more likely the US will formally leave the global agency. The order said the US was withdrawing "due to the organization's mishandling of the Covid-19 pandemic that arose out of Wuhan, China, and other global health crises, its failure to adopt urgently needed reforms, and its inability to demonstrate independence from the inappropriate political influence of WHO member states".

A cursory reading of the bill readily shows that the bill clashes with the constitutional child-rearing rights of parents over their minor children. This is evident in the bill's provision which provides minors the access to se̾xual and reproductive health care, which is composed of a full range of methods, techniques, services and health facilities — without the need for parental consent. All of this implies that se̾x by minors is permitted under a state policy that substitutes the will of the state over that of the parents.

Metro Manila traffic has supposedly improved according to a recent study—it’s now reportedly better than traffic in Davao City, actually—but that doesn’t mean it’s all well and good in the capital. Traffic is still an issue, and it’s still something that needs a lot of work. For its part, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) is looking at shifting work hours for national government agencies to 7am-4pm instead of the usual 8am-5 pm. You may recall that this isn’t a new policy, as local government units in NCR have already been following this schedule since last year. By adjusting work hours, affected commuters and motorists will have to hit the road earlier both in the morning going to work and in the afternoon when...

JERUSALEM — The United States said Thursday it was “confident” that a fragile Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal would take effect on time, even as Israel carried out new air strikes ahead of a cabinet vote on the accord. The truce, announced by mediators Qatar and the United States on Wednesday, would begin on Sunday and involve the exchange of Israeli hostages for Palestinian prisoners, after which the terms of a permanent end to the war would be finalized. However, the office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Thursday that Hamas had “reneged on parts of the agreement… in an effort to extort last-minute concessions.” It also said Israel’s cabinet, which has yet to approve the agreement, “will not convene until the...
