US versus ICC United States Senate issues warning to the International Criminal Court: "Target Israel and we will target you." "If you move forward with the measures indicated in the report, we will move forward to end all American support for the ICC, sanction your employees and associates, and bar you and your families from the United States. You have been warned." Toroyyyyyy. O ano, kayo lang naman yung uto-uto na fair ang ICC. Tignan natin kung kayanin nila ang US. Or baka Pilipinas lang ang kina-kaya kaya nila. In that case, have some dignity. At tignan nyo ang US, ok lang sa kanila ang widespread human abuses basta ally nila. When it’s them and their allies, ok lang kahit genocide levels. So ano, ICC pa rin? Na namimili...

The piles of corals were a dead giveaway. Filipino scientists on Saturday said there might be an ongoing artificial island-building in the waters close to Pag-asa in the West Philippine Sea (WPS) and a Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) official said they suspect the Chinese were behind it. Also on Saturday, a Philippine maritime expert said the findings of the marine research team that surveyed the area could be used in another case to add to the arbitral tribunal ruling invalidating Beijing’s sweeping claims to the South China Sea. Retired Supreme Court Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio said former President Rodrigo Duterte waived the country’s sovereignty over Bajo de Masinloc [Panatag, or Scarborough, Shoal] in a “temporary...

Crushed corals in Escoda Shoal (PHILIPPINE COAST GUARD ) MANILA, Philippines — Crushed corals were dumped in Escoda (Sabina) Shoal in a development that could be a prelude to the emergence of an artificial island there. Commodore Jay Tarriela, Philippine Coast Guard spokesperson for the West Philippine Sea, said this was learned during the deployment of BRP Teresa Magbanua in the area. Tarriela said the deployment was done after Jonathan Anticamara of the University of the Philippines Institute of Biology found coral rubble or dead coral fragments “piled on Pag-asa Cays 1, 2 and 3 that are now exposed during high tide.” In his presentation last May 4, Anticamara said that the developments in Pagasa Cays “are possibly products of...

MANILA, Philippines – The “evidence” allegedly proving that a Philippine army official reached an agreement with China regarding a “new model” on Ayungin Shoal should be made available to the government, Senator Risa Hontiveros said on Wednesday. “Kung meron talaga silang recording at kung meron talaga silang transcript, they should at the least make it available to the government — to the Executive, dahil seryosong claim na naman nila yan ng isang new model,” said Hontiveros in a press conference, pertaining to China. (If they really have a recording and if they really have a transcript, they should at least make it available to the government — to the Executive, because this “new model” is another serious claim by China.) In an...

credits: PNA MANILA – The Chinese Embassy's claim of having an audio recording of a Filipino general talking with a Chinese diplomat regarding a "new model" agreement on the West Philippine Sea (WPS) is tantamount to an admission of violating Philippine laws, Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr. said Wednesday. "Kung totoo man ito, labag sa international relations at labag sa batas dahil hindi sila nakipag-ugnayan sa Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) at sila ay umoperate na pailalim kung totoo ito (If this is true, they have also violated international relations and violated the law as they failed to coordinate with the Department of Foreign Affairs as they have operated underhandedly if this is true)," Teodoro said on the...

Wearing of full face helmets not allowed in San Carlos City proper Last month, Mayor Renato Gustilo signed Executive Order (EO) 89, Series of 2024 prohibiting the use of full face helmets within the city proper of San Carlos City, Negros Occidental. Under EO 89, all motorcycle riders, as well as their pillions, are only allowed to wear half face helmets to identify their faces. EO 89 also says that the reason behind this requirement is the rise of incidents involving motorcycle-riding assailants, a.k.a. riding-in-tandem criminals, wherein the perpetrators evade justice by simply hiding their identity behind bonnets and full face helmets. “One of the alarming issues affecting our City very recently is the incident involving...

Davao court has issued a warrant of arrest against Kingdom of Jesus Christ leader Apollo Quiboloy and five others over charges of child abuse. In a 2-page order, the court said reasonable time has lapsed and it has not yet received a resolution on the motion for reconsideration filed by Quiboloy’s camp before the Department of Justice on the arrest warrant it issued in March. “The court mindful of the equally situated rights of both the prosecution and defense, which may include among others, the speedy disposition and speedy trial of cases, either of which or both, said right imposes an imperative task that this court is indebted to fulfill,” the Court said. “[A]s what was earlier determined upon judicious examination and perusal of...

“Real GDP growth for 2024 was revised slightly to 6.2 percent from the January WEO forecast of six percent, reflecting carryover from a better-than-expected outturn in the last quarter of 2023,” IMF resident representative Ragnar Gudmundsson said in an email to The STAR. Inflation in the Philippines is expected to average 3.6 percent this year before easing further to three percent in 2025. Both projections are lower than the six percent full-year inflation in 2023. Inflation accelerated to 3.7 percent in March from 3.4 percent in February, marking its second straight month of uptick. This prompted the BSP to keep borrowing costs elevated after it raised interest rates by 450 basis points from May 2022 to October 2023. Source ...

Releasing the majority of the results in the middle of the night and not being able to explain the problems with the server? The 90% results being almost exactly the same as the 0.4% results? No progression of votes at all? This election is a joke. They dumped all of the votes basically at the same time, preventing any sort of deeper granular analysis and obfuscating vote progression over time. Basically, no one district is exactly the same. We should have seen some movement over time, based on unique district profiles. Dumping all at once obscures any attempts to assess questionable trending or voting blocs in real time. I find it amusing that the percentage of votes almost precisely aligns from 0.4% reported and 97% reported...

President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. on Monday declined the conditions set by Kingdom of Jesus Christ leader Pastor Apollo Quiboloy for his surrender in connection with his child abuse cases. “It seems to me a little bit tail wagging the dog, ang tawag na siyang magbibigay ng kondisyon sa gobyerno doon sa kaso niya, akusado siya sa warrant of arrest,” Marcos told reporters in an interview in Bacolod City. However, the President assured Quiboloy that the proceedings on his case would be fair. “To Pastor Quiboloy, we’ve known him for a very long time. Ang maipapangako ko, all the proceedings will be fair. Now, as to the involvement of the United States, malayo pa ‘yan eh. That’s going to take years, yet. So, I don’t think that’s something...

John Alfred Tinniswood is now the world’s oldest living man, following the death of 114-year-old Juan Vicente Pérez (Venezuela). John was born in Liverpool on August 26, 1912 – the same year the Titanic sank. Despite his advanced age, he can still perform most daily tasks independently: he gets out of bed unassisted, listens to the radio to keep up with the news, and still manages his own finances. John doesn’t smoke and rarely drinks *******. His main advice for staying healthy is to practice moderation: “If you drink too much or you eat too much or you walk too much; if you do too much of anything, you’re going to suffer eventually,” he said.
