DM-X Technologies Inc., nag-aalok ng walang patid na supply ng elektrisidad sa bayan ng Oriental Mindoro

Nagpaplano ang isang energy solution company na magsagawa ng pilot project na nangangakong maghatid ng 24/7 na serbisyo ng elektrisidad sa mga komunidad sa Bongabong, Oriental Mindoro, gamit ang mga power technology at clean energy.

Nakipagpulong si Bongabong Mayor Elegio Malaluan kay DM-X Technologies Inc. chair at chief executive officer Deodato Reloj Jr. noong Biyernes sa Clark, Pampanga at tinalakay ang posibleng partnership.

Ang core ng DM-X ay nag-aalok ng distributed power generation system (DPGS) na bumubuo ng primary power kumpara sa pagiging standby power generator lang.

Ang kumpanya ay distributor din ng mga  lubricants and clean fuel proprietary technology na pag aari ng isang gas company na Amptron Corporation sa Estados Unidos.

Umaasa si Malaluan na ang mga teknolohiya ng DM-X ay magbubukas ng higit pang mga pagkakataon at magbibigay daan para sa pag-unlad ng Bongabong na aniya ay nahahadlangan ng hindi episyenteng serbisyo ng kuryente sa isla.

“Sa Mindoro, parating brownout. Ang pino-propose nila (DM-X) ay magkaroon ng power plant sa Bongabong at Roxas, at ‘yung Bongabong ang magiging model or pilot. Kung magkaganoon, ‘pag naging maayos iyon, sa ibang bayan naman,” ayon kay Malaluan sa isang panayam ng Philippine News Agency.

“The decision was to pilot a one-megawatt project in Bongabong to show the DOE, Transco, and Napocor that DM-X can be a primary source of power. In the future, we would expand to serve more of Bongabong’s constituents and provide them with electricity 24/7,” dagdag pa niya.

DOH, inihahanda ang mga paaralan laban sa Dengue

MAYNILA. Pinayuhan ng Department of Health (DOH) ang mga paaralan na maging handa sa pag-iwas sa posibleng pagkalat ng dengue, lalo’t nalalapit na ang pagbabalik-eskwela sa Hunyo 16 at ang pagsisimula ng tag-ulan.

Sa nationwide kickoff ng Brigada Eskwela 2025 na ginanap sa Bacacay East Central School sa Bacacay, Albay kahapon, binigyang-diin ni Health Secretary Teodoro Herbosa na ang dengue ay isa sa mga pangunahing problemang pangkalusugan ng mga kabataan.

Pinasalamatan din niya ang mga guro sa kanilang suporta sa DOH, dahil karamihan sa mga isyung kinakaharap ng ahensya ay may kinalaman sa kalusugan ng mga mag-aaral.

“So the rainy season is starting, and I do hope that schools are now clean and well-maintained so they won’t become breeding grounds for mosquitoes that carry dengue,” sabi ni Herbosa.

Nauna nang nagbabala si Herbosa sa posibleng malaking outbreak ng dengue dahil sa pagtaas ng mga kaso ng sakit ngayong taon.

Ipinahayag din ni Herbosa ang kanyang pagkaalarma sa iba pang isyu ng kalusugan na kinasasangkutan ng mga kabataan, tulad ng paggamit ng vape at pagkalat ng HIV.

Marines deployed to Los Angeles as protests continue for fourth day

LOS ANGELES. The U.S. military is temporarily deploying around 700 Marines to Los Angeles while more National Guard troops are on the way, marking another escalation in President Donald Trump’s response to protests over his aggressive immigration policies.

The protests, now in their fourth day, have seen hundreds of demonstrators gathering outside a federal detention center in downtown Los Angeles where immigrants are being held. Late on Monday, police began dispersing the crowd, using “less lethal” munitions such as gas canisters to control the situation.

National Guard forces formed a human barricade at the site, while police pushed protesters away. The LAPD said that some demonstrators had started throwing objects at officers, prompting the use of force.

California sued the Trump administration on Monday, arguing that the deployment of Marines and the National Guard violates federal law and state sovereignty. “The level of escalation is completely unwarranted, uncalled for, and unprecedented,” said a statement from Governor Gavin Newsom’s office.

The Pentagon confirmed on Monday that National Guard troops in Los Angeles would double from 2,000 to 4,000. However, the Trump administration has not yet invoked the Insurrection Act, which would allow the military to participate directly in civilian law enforcement.

The protests have led to a few dozen arrests and some property damage, including fires set to self-driving vehicles. The LAPD said that five officers and five police horses were injured over the weekend.

President Trump said on Monday he felt he had no choice but to increase the military presence to keep the violence under control. He also backed a suggestion to arrest Governor Newsom for obstructing federal immigration enforcement. “I would do it if I were Tom. I think it’s great,” Trump told reporters.

Democrats argue that Trump’s move is an abuse of presidential power. Across the U.S., protests have also erupted in at least nine other cities, including New York, Philadelphia, and San Francisco.

Marzita Cerrato, a 42-year-old first-generation immigrant whose parents are from Mexico and Honduras, said, “What is happening affects every American, everyone who wants to live free, regardless of how long their family has lived here.”

Federal law allows the president to deploy the National Guard if the nation is invaded, if there is a rebellion or danger of rebellion, or if he is unable to enforce federal laws with regular forces. The last time the military was used in direct police action under the Insurrection Act was in 1992, during the Los Angeles riots following the acquittal of police officers involved in the beating of Rodney King.

US and China hold trade talks in London after Trump-Xi phone call

LONDON, United Kingdom. High-level delegations from the United States and China met in London on Monday to strengthen a fragile truce in their trade dispute that has rattled the global economy.

Led by Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng, the Chinese delegation held talks with U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Trade Representative Jamieson Greer at Lancaster House, a 200-year-old mansion near Buckingham Palace. China’s Commerce Minister Wang Wentao also joined the discussions.

The talks, which could continue on Tuesday, follow negotiations in Geneva last month that led to a temporary pause in the trade war. On May 12, the two countries announced a 90-day suspension of most tariffs exceeding 100% that they had imposed on each other, easing fears of a global recession.

The U.S. and China are the world’s biggest and second-biggest economies. According to Chinese trade data, exports to the U.S. fell 35% in May compared to a year earlier.

Since the Geneva meeting, tensions between the two countries have resurfaced, with disputes over advanced semiconductors that power artificial intelligence, visas for Chinese students in the U.S., and the export of rare earth minerals crucial to carmakers and other industries.

President Donald Trump spoke at length with Chinese leader Xi Jinping by phone last Thursday to get relations back on track. Trump later announced on social media that trade talks would resume in London.

Rare earth minerals are expected to be a major topic. In April, China began requiring licenses to export seven rare earth elements, causing supply shortages that disrupted the auto industry worldwide. Stockpiles have dwindled, prompting concerns that some automakers may be forced to halt production.

On Saturday, Beijing signaled it was working to address concerns raised by both European and American companies. Kevin Hassett, a U.S. economic adviser, told CNBC on Monday that he expected a brief meeting in London focused on rare earths, with “a big, strong handshake” to show progress.

The U.K. government, which is providing the venue and logistics, has stated it is not directly involved in the talks. However, British Treasury chief Rachel Reeves met with Bessent and He on Sunday, and Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds was scheduled to meet with Wang.

“We are a nation that champions free trade and have always been clear that a trade war is in nobody’s interests, so we welcome these talks,” the British government said in a statement.

Senado nagpasya, complaint vs VP Sara ipapasa sa komite

MAYNILA. Bumoto ang Senado nitong Lunes ng gabi, Hunyo 9, para ipasa sa committee on rules ang verified impeachment complaint laban kay Vice President Sara Duterte.

Inihain ni Senador Joel Villanueva ang mosyon matapos magpulong ang mga senador sa panawagan ni Senate Minority Leader Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel III, kasabay ng suspensyon ng sesyon.

Sinegundahan naman ni Senate President Francis “Chiz” Escudero ang mosyon bilang presiding officer ng impeachment court.

Tinanong ni Senador Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa kung ang panunumpa ng mga senador bilang senator-judges ay nangangahulugan na magko-convene na ito bilang impeachment court.

Muli namang sinuspinde ng mga senador ang sesyon para talakayin pa ang nasabing usapin.

Musk risks losing billions as spat with Trump unfolds

NEW YORK. Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, could lose billions of dollars depending on how his ongoing feud with former President Donald Trump unfolds. The dispute threatens to impact several of Musk’s key businesses, including Tesla, SpaceX, Starlink, and the social media platform X.

Tesla’s plans for self-driving robotaxis, scheduled for testing in Austin, Texas, could face regulatory hurdles if Trump pressures federal agencies like the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The agency is already investigating Tesla’s self-driving software following accidents, including a fatal pedestrian crash. The Department of Justice is also reportedly probing Tesla’s vehicle safety.

Tesla’s stock price plunged over 14% amid the public spat, although it partially recovered afterward. Analysts warn that the feud could dampen investor enthusiasm, as much of Tesla’s recent value increase hinged on optimism about its robotaxi service.

Another potential blow to Tesla is linked to carbon credit sales. Republican lawmakers have proposed budget changes that could eliminate penalties on gas-powered car makers for failing fuel economy standards. Tesla, which sells carbon credits to automakers needing to offset emissions, could see this revenue stream shrink.

The feud also risks Tesla’s reputation among environmentally conscious consumers, many of whom have boycotted the brand due to Musk’s political associations. Whether Tesla can regain these customers remains uncertain.

SpaceX, Musk’s private rocket company, could lose crucial government contracts amid the conflict. The company provides NASA launches, astronauts’ transport to the International Space Station, and is contracted for a planned lunar mission. Trump has threatened to cut these contracts, which would be a major setback given SpaceX’s reliance on federal funding.

Starlink, SpaceX’s satellite internet arm, could also be affected. The company recently secured deals in countries like Saudi Arabia, India, and Bangladesh, some possibly influenced by Musk’s prior relationship with Trump. India recently approved a key license for Starlink, expanding internet access for millions.

Meanwhile, the social media platform X faces uncertainty with advertisers. Many left following Musk’s controversial management but have started returning. However, if Trump turns against the platform, it could again become a politically risky space for major brands.

Analysts say the ultimate impact depends heavily on Trump’s next moves and the duration of the conflict, with both sides potentially losing significant ground.

Tesla and SpaceX did not respond to requests for comment.

Pope Leo calls for reconciliation, slams nationalist politics

VATICAN CITY. Pope Leo XIV condemned the growing trend of nationalist political movements worldwide, calling for reconciliation and dialogue in a Mass at St. Peter’s Square on Sunday, aligning his message with his vow to make the Catholic Church a beacon of peace.

Leading the service before tens of thousands of faithful, Pope Leo asked the Holy Spirit to “break down barriers and tear down the walls of indifference and hatred.”
“Where there is love, there is no room for prejudice, for ‘security’ zones separating us from our neighbors, for the exclusionary mindset that, tragically, we now see emerging also in political nationalisms,” said Pope Leo, the first American pope, without naming any country or politician.

Pope Leo echoed the words of the late Pope Francis, who in May 2023 said, “We are all connected, yet find ourselves disconnected from one another, anaesthetized by indifference and overwhelmed by solitude.”

The pope also condemned wars, describing them as “plaguing our world,” and prayed for “the gift of peace,” which he hoped would start in people’s hearts and extend to families, societies, and international relations.
“First of all, peace in our hearts, for only a peaceful heart can spread peace in the family, society and international relations,” he said.Pope Leo’s appeal for peace and dialogue has been a constant theme since he was elected pontiff. His first message, “Peace be with you all,” underscored his mission of unity.
He has also called for a “genuine and just peace” in Ukraine and a ceasefire in Gaza.

Senado, kinukulit ng mga eskwelahan sa impeachment trial ni VP Sara

MAYNILA. Lalo pang lumakas ang panawagan sa Senado na ituloy na ang impeachment trial laban kay Vice President Sara Duterte matapos makiisa ang Ateneo School of Government (ASoG), De La Salle University, at San Beda University.

Ayon sa pahayag ng ASoG, “We call on the Senate to fulfill its Constitutional duty and to proceed with the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte.” Giit nila, kung hindi dadaan sa paglilitis ay pagpapabaya ito sa tungkulin at malinaw na pagtatangkang pagtakpan ang mga alegasyon laban sa isang public official.

Idinagdag pa ng ASoG, “The impeachment process is a sacred duty enshrined in our Constitution. It is the primary mechanism to ensure that our elected officials would remain faithful to their sworn duty to serve the public with dedication, commitment, and, most importantly, integrity.”

Nitong Biyernes, naglabas din ng pahayag ang mga guro ng De La Salle University na nagsabing ang pagkaantala ay sumisira sa tiwala ng publiko at lumalabag sa Saligang Batas. Kasabay nito, nagpahayag din ng suporta ang mga guro ng San Beda University (SBU) Graduate School of Law, kabilang sina dating Supreme Court Justices Adolf Azcuna at Jose Vitug.

Ayon sa Facebook post ni Graduate School of Law Dean Rev. Fr. Ranhilio Callangan Aquino, “We, professors of the Graduate School of Law of San Beda University, in our individual capacities, respectfully urge the Senate of the Philippines to proceed with the trial of the Vice-President in accordance with Article XI of the Constitution.”

Giit ng mga guro, dapat manguna ang malalaking sangay ng pamahalaan sa mahigpit na pagsunod sa Saligang Batas at kapag na-verify na ang reklamo at inendorso ng hindi bababa sa one-third ng House of Representatives, dapat agad na ituloy ang paglilitis. Wala anila itong legal at constitutional na batayan para ipagpaliban at ang “undue delay” ay nagpapadala ng mensahe na may mga nakatagong layunin.

Nauna nang nanawagan ang 100 faculty members ng UP College of Law at DLSU-Department of Political Science and Development Studies na simulan na agad ang impeachment trial. Ganito rin ang naging panawagan ng Philippine Political Science Association (PPSA) Board of Trustees na nagsabing “long-overdue” na ito at ang kawalan ng aksyon ay sumisira sa transparency at integridad ng mga institusyon.

Matatandaang nakatakda sanang simulan ang impeachment trial noong Hunyo 2 ngunit ipinagpaliban ito sa Hunyo 11.

Israel vows to stop Greta Thunberg’s aid boat from reaching Gaza

TEL AVIV, Israel. Israel’s government has vowed to stop an aid boat carrying climate activist Greta Thunberg and other campaigners from reaching the Gaza Strip, saying it will not allow anyone to break its naval blockade on the Palestinian territory.

Defense Minister Israel Katz said the blockade is meant to prevent Hamas from importing weapons. “To the antisemitic Greta and her fellow Hamas propagandists, I will say this clearly: You should turn back, because you will not make it to Gaza,” Katz said in a statement.

The boat, the Madleen, is operated by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition and departed Sicily last Sunday. It is carrying 12 activists, including Thunberg, and aims to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza and highlight the worsening humanitarian crisis amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.

Brazilian activist Thiago Ávila posted a video Sunday afternoon claiming their tracking and communication devices were being jammed about 160 nautical miles from Gaza. Also on board is Rima Hassan, a French member of the European Parliament of Palestinian descent, who has been barred from entering Israel for her opposition to its policies.

Israel and Egypt have enforced a blockade on Gaza since Hamas took control in 2007. Critics say the blockade collectively punishes Gaza’s roughly 2 million residents. While Israel began allowing some basic aid last month after a nearly three-month total blockade, humanitarian groups warn of famine unless the blockade is fully lifted.

Last month, the Freedom Flotilla’s previous attempt to reach Gaza was foiled when another vessel was attacked by two drones in international waters off Malta, damaging the ship. The group blamed Israel for the attack.

Bentahan at pegrerehistro ng mga kumpiskadong sasakyan sa LTO, iniimbestigahan

MAYNILA. Ipinag-utos ni Land Transportation Office (LTO) Chief, Assistant Secretary Atty. Vigor D. Mendoza II, ang imbestigasyon sa 40 district offices ng ahensya dahil sa mga ulat na sangkot ang mga ito sa ilegal na pagbebenta at pagrerehistro ng mga kumpiskadong sasakyan.

Ayon sa Philippine National Police (PNP), tinaguriang “technical carnapping” ang naturang modus na nagsasangkot ng mga narekober na sasakyan na iligal na naibebenta at nare-rehistro pa.

Sinabi ni Mendoza na maglalabas siya ng show cause orders para pagpaliwanagin ang mga pinuno ng district offices na sangkot sa umano’y anomalya. Inihayag niya na batay sa datos, nangyari ang 15 insidente ng iligal na paglipat ng pagmamay-ari sa CARAGA Region, walo sa Rehiyon 9, tig-apat sa Rehiyon 2 at Rehiyon 11, tig-dalawa sa Rehiyon 1, Rehiyon 3, at Rehiyon 10, at tig-isa sa Rehiyon 4A, Rehiyon 8, at Cordillera Administrative Region.

Sa gitna ng imbestigasyon, natuklasan din ni Mendoza na sangkot ang ilang district offices sa hindi awtorisadong pagproseso ng Cancellation of Transfer of Ownership at Duplication of Certificates of Registration para mapalabas na legal ang mga transaksyon.

“Ipinaalam na namin kay DOTr Secretary Vince Dizon ang modus na ito, at malinaw ang kanyang tagubilin: tukuyin at tiyakin na airtight ang kasong isasampa laban sa mga sangkot,” ani Mendoza.

Dagdag pa niya, hindi nila hahayaang magamit ang LTO sa ganitong uri ng ilegal na aktibidad. Babala pa ni Mendoza, ang mga sangkot ay posibleng maharap sa mga kasong administratibo, kabilang ang dismissal penalties, alinsunod sa Civil Service rules at LTO Memorandum Circular No. MC-91-137, at itinuturing ding paglabag sa LTO Citizen Charter.

Tiniyak ni Mendoza na maglalabas sila ng show cause orders laban sa mga bagong may-ari ng mga sangkot na sasakyan upang papanagutin ang lahat ng responsable.

AI Film Festival celebrates innovative filmmaking in New York

NEW YORK. The third edition of the AI Film Festival, hosted by AI-generated video company Runway, kicked off in New York on Thursday night, highlighting the creative potential of artificial intelligence in modern filmmaking.

The event featured ten short films selected from around 6,000 global submissions, a significant increase from the 300 entries in the festival’s 2023 debut. Runway CEO Cristóbal Valenzuela, speaking to the crowd, reflected on how far the technology has come: “Three years ago, this was such a crazy idea. Today, millions of people are making billions of videos using tools we only dreamed of.”

The top prize went to Jacob Adler’s “Total Pixel Space,” a 9-minute and 28-second film that explores the digital universe of possible images through math and mesmerizing visuals. Second place was awarded to Andrew Salter’s “Jailbird,” which follows a chicken’s unique journey from the farm to a British prison’s rehabilitation program. Ricardo Villavicencio and Edward Saatchi’s “One,” a sci-fi tale about interplanetary travel, claimed third place.

The festival’s 10 finalists will also be screened in Los Angeles and Paris next week. Submissions needed to feature AI-generated video, though they were allowed to blend live-action footage with AI-created elements. Valenzuela explained that the festival’s goal is to encourage experimentation and showcase AI’s evolving capabilities.

Joshua Glick, a professor of film and electronic arts at Bard College, said the festival’s rise reflects the film industry’s push to legitimize and integrate AI into Hollywood productions. While AI has already been used to de-age actors and enhance visual effects in major films, its growth has raised concerns among workers’ unions about job security and fair labor practices.

Vanessa Holtgrewe of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees emphasized the union’s position: “AI must not be used to undermine workers’ rights or livelihoods.” IATSE, along with other unions, continues to negotiate with studios to ensure protections are in place for creative professionals.

Despite the anxieties, Valenzuela remains hopeful. “It’s natural to fear change,” he said. “But it’s important to understand what you can do with it.”
