In a press statement, Quimbo — one of the bill’s authors and vice chairperson of the House appropriations committee — said the proposed sovereign wealth fund will utilize profits of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) instead of sourcing it from the Social Security System (SSS) and Government Service Insurance System (GSIS).

New York man who punched Filipina over 100 times sentenced to more than 17 years in prison
A man who was caught on camera attacking a Filipino woman in New York City early this year has been sentenced to 17 and a half years in state prison. The man named Tammel Esco saw the 67-year-old woman entering her New York apartment in March. He then knocked her over the head and proceeded to punch her over 100 times after calling her an "Asian b*tch." Yonkers Police Department shortly apprehended and took Esco into custody while the woman was still bleeding in front of the elevator. She suffered from brain bleeding and multiple facial fractures, among other injuries, according to state prosecutors. "Today we close a chapter on one of the most violent and shocking hate crimes that we’ve seen in Westchester County," said Westchester...
Xi Jinping's party purge prompts fears of greater Taiwan invasion risk
Xi Jinping’s purging of political rivals and elevation of loyalists to the top ranks of the Chinese Communist party has raised fears that his now unfettered and unquestionable power could increase the risk of an attack on Taiwan. Beijing has pledged to annex Taiwan under a disputed claim that it is a Chinese province, and in recent years has increased its military activity and other forms of harassment and coercion. No timeline has been set, but senior defence figures have said China could be capable of invasion as early as 2027. Others point to Xi’s pledge of “national rejuvenation” by 2047 – the centenary of the People’s Republic of China – as a potential goal. Full Report here by The Guardian

Covid-19 lockdowns hit Guangzhou
The order came after the densely populated city of 13 million reported more than 2,500 new cases over the previous 24 hours. Public transport has been suspended and classes halted across much of Guangzhou, while flights to Beijing and other major cities have been canceled, according to state media. China has retained its strict zero-Covid policy despite relatively low case numbers and no new deaths. The East Asian country's borders remain largely closed, and internal travel and trade is fraught with ever-changing quarantine regulations. The tight restrictions have sparked occasional clashes between residents and local Communist Party officials, who are threatened with punishment if reported cases in their areas of jurisdiction climb...

Remulla's legal counsel Kit Belmonte did not provide an explanation why...
Meta cuts 11,000 jobs as it sinks more money into the metaverse
Like its peers, Meta aggressively hired during the pandemic to meet a surge in social media usage by stuck-at-home consumers. But business has suffered this year as advertisers and consumers pull the plug on spending in the face of soaring costs and rapidly rising interest rates. “Not only has online commerce returned to prior trends, but the macroeconomic downturn, increased competition, and ads signal loss have caused our revenue to be much lower than I’d expected,” Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg said in a message to employees. “I got this wrong, and I take responsibility for that.” On a short call on Wednesday that Reuters had access to, a red-eyed Zuckerberg addressed employees but took no questions. He stuck to a script...
