4 na PNP intelligence officer sinibak kaugnay sa 2 bangkay sa drum sa Laguna

CALAMBA CCITY, Laguna. Apat na intelligence officer ng Philippine National Police (PNP) ang inalis sa kanilang mga puwesto matapos silang idawit sa magkahiwalay na pagdukot ng tatlong indibidwal sa Laguna na may kaugnayan sa nadiskubreng dalawang bangkay sa drum na lumutang sa ilog sa lungsod na ito.

Ang tatlong pulis na hindi pa napapatunayang may sala ay kabilang sa Calamba Intelligence Division at ngayo ay nahaharap sa kasong administratibo na isinampa ng mga pamilya ng mga biktima sa National Police Commission (Napolcom).

Ang kautusan ay nagmula sa Office of the Police Provincial Director, at sila ay pinatawag kasama ang kanilang mga pinuno upang magbigay ng kanilang pahayag tungkol sa mga paratang.

Ayon sa mga ulat, ang mga inakusahang opisyal ay nakunan ng video footage mula sa isang closed-circuit television camera (CCTV) na malapit sa lokasyon ng pagdukot, na nagpapakita sa mga pulis na kumukuha sa dalawang hindi pa nakikilalang indibidwal papasok sa isang sasakyan sa Barangay Parian, Calamba City, Laguna, noong ika-11 ng Enero. Kinilala ng mga kamag-anak ang mga biktima kasama ang isang hindi pa nakikilalang lalaki mula sa Los Baños City noong ika-28 ng Marso.

Ayon sa ulat ng pulisya, ang mga biktima na sina Diolito Garay Sr., 60, at Aldy Raquion, 23, parehong naninirahan sa Purok 7, Barangay Parian, Calamba City, ay iniulat na nawawala ni Karen Garay, 23, isang online seller sa Barangay Parian, Calamba City noong Enero 24, ngunit inireport lamang sa istasyon ng pulisya noong Marso 11, 2024.

Samantala, noong ika-2 ng Abril, natagpuan ng isang mangingisda ang dalawang bangkay na nakaposas sa loob ng sinementong drum na nakalutang sa Busig-on river sa Barangay Submakin, Lobo, Camariñes Norte. Patuloy ang Labo Police sa kanilang masusing imbestigasyon upang tiyakin ang pagkakakilanlan ng mga bangkay na iniuugnay sa mga nawawalang sina Garay at Raquion.

Ayon sa mga mapagkakatiwalaang sources, ang dalawang nawawalang tao na dinukot sa Laguna ay natagpuang patay sa Lobo, Camariñes Norte habang ang isa pang nawawalang mula sa Los Baños City ay hinihinalang pinatay ngunit hindi pa natatagpuan.

Ang mga binanggit na nawawalang indibidwal ay pinaghihinalaang sangkot sa mga gawain sa iligal na droga.

Brazil investigates Elon Musk for alleged obstruction and fake news after a Supreme Court order

RIO DE JANEIRO. Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes has set his sights on Elon Musk, initiating an investigation into the tech mogul’s involvement in spreading fake news and obstruction, following a recent Supreme Court ruling.

Justice de Moraes’ decision came after Musk launched what he termed a “disinformation campaign” over the weekend, openly defying court orders related to his social media company X. In a scathing indictment, de Moraes accused Musk of obstructing Brazilian justice, inciting criminal behavior, and threatening disobedience of court mandates.

The investigation targets Musk’s alleged manipulation of X as part of a broader probe into digital militias suspected of disseminating defamatory content and threats against Supreme Court justices. It will delve into potential charges of obstruction, criminal organization, and incitement against Musk.

As of late Sunday, Musk had not addressed the investigation on X. However, his defiance of the court’s orders has stirred controversy in Brazil’s political landscape, with critics accusing him of undermining free speech protections and interfering with judicial proceedings.

De Moraes’ actions have sparked a broader debate about the balance between freedom of expression and legal accountability in Brazil. While some view his interventions as necessary to combat the spread of fake news and protect democratic institutions, others argue that they infringe upon civil liberties and democratic norms.

Musk, a vocal advocate for free speech, has remained steadfast in his stance, asserting that principles outweigh financial considerations. Despite his bold statements on X, the platform has yet to implement Musk’s directives, signaling a potential standoff between the tech titan and Brazilian authorities.

In response to Musk’s actions, Brazil’s attorney general called for urgent regulation of social media platforms, emphasizing the need to prevent foreign billionaires from flouting the rule of law and undermining social harmony.

The investigation into Musk marks a significant escalation in Brazil’s efforts to combat misinformation and uphold the rule of law in the digital sphere. As the probe unfolds, it is likely to reignite debates about the limits of online freedom and the responsibilities of tech giants in safeguarding democratic values.

The Philippines misses today’s solar eclipse spectacle

The Philippines will not witness the total solar eclipse slated for April 8 (today), according to the state weather bureau. This year’s eclipse path, spanning about 115 miles, will sweep across western Mexico, traverse several US cities including Dallas, Indianapolis, and Buffalo, before culminating in eastern Canada.

Astronomer Nico Mendoza from the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) noted that solar eclipses occur approximately four times annually. However, due to the eclipse timing, it will coincide with nighttime in the Philippines, limiting visibility to regions westward.

PAGASA identified the next opportunity for a total solar eclipse in the Philippines on April 20, 2042, visible from Legazpi City. The bureau also debunked rumors of a three-day darkness, dismissing them as baseless and lacking scientific backing.

While most of the United States will witness a partial eclipse, airlines have seized the opportunity, with some offering flights scheduled to cross under the eclipse path. Delta, for instance, reported selling out seats for two special eclipse trips within 24 hours.

NASA underscored the importance of eye protection during the eclipse, emphasizing safety within the path of totality. Nonetheless, the agency highlighted various studies planned for the event, ranging from its effects on Earth’s atmosphere and animal behavior to its impact on human psychology.

“Eclipses have a special power,” remarked NASA Administrator Bill Nelson. “They move people to feel a kind of reverence for the beauty of our universe.”

OCD: Drop, cover, hold drills hindi sapat laban sa lindol

Sinabi ng Office of Civil Defense (OCD) na hindi sapat ang pagsasanay sa “drop, cover, hold” ng publiko bilang paghahanda laban sa lindol.

Ayon kay OCD Administrator, Undersecretary Ariel Nepomuceno, mas mahalaga pa rin ang pagkakaroon ng matibay na pundasyon ng mga gusali at pasilidad at ang pagsunod sa building code upang maiwasan ang pinsala mula sa lindol, lalo na ang kinatatakutang “Big One.”

“I will say it again, engineering solutions and com­pliance with the building code are the best preparedness measures for earthquakes,” ayon kay Nepomuceno.

Dahil dito, hinikayat ni Nepomuceno ang mga residente, lalo na sa Maynila, Caloocan, Las Piñas, Makati, Malabon, Mandaluyong, Marikina, Muntinlupa, Navotas, Parañaque, Pasay, Pasig, Quezon City, San Juan, Taguig, Valenzuela, at Pateros na maging mas maingat sa kanilang inspeksyon at pagmamanman sa mga gusali at imprastruktura.

Hindi rin pinapayagan ang pagtatayo ng mga istraktura sa mga no-build zone at landslide-prone areas.

Ipinaalala ni Nepomuceno na maraming gusali at bahay sa Metro Manila ang posibleng magtamo ng pinsala sa “Big One.”

Batay sa kanilang pagtaya sa biktima, maaaring umabot sa 30,000 hanggang 48,000 ang maaaring mamatay sa isang Lindol na may Lakas ng 7.2 sa West Valley Fault.

Idinagdag pa ni Nepomuceno na ang kanilang mga rekomendasyon ay hindi lamang para sa Metro Manila kundi pati na rin sa iba pang lungsod sa Luzon, Visayas, at Mindanao.

Ang West Valley Fault ay nagmumula sa Dingalan, Aurora sa hilaga at dumadaan sa mga lungsod ng Quezon, Marikina, Pasig, Makati, Parañaque, Taguig, at mga probinsya ng Laguna at Cavite.

J&J bolsters MedTech arm with $13B shockwave deal

Johnson & Johnson (J&J) is reinforcing its commitment to heart care by injecting approximately $13 billion into its MedTech business through a deal with Shockwave Medical, a specialist in technology aimed at opening clogged arteries.

Announced on Friday, the healthcare behemoth disclosed its plan to acquire Shockwave at a rate of $335 in cash per share. The total deal value encompasses cash acquired and has garnered approval from the boards of directors of both companies.

Established in 2009, Shockwave focuses on intravascular lithotripsy technology, utilizing sonic pressure waves to rupture calcium lesions in arteries, thereby restoring blood flow. This technique, akin to breaking up kidney stones, employs soundwave emitters inserted into angioplasty catheters to target calcified areas within arteries, particularly addressing coronary artery and peripheral artery disease.

Shockwave experienced a substantial revenue surge of 49% last year, reaching $730 million. J&J’s Chief Financial Officer, Joseph Wolk, emphasized to analysts that the market for this technology is still in its early stages of expansion, foreseeing growth opportunities both domestically and internationally, with projected annual sales anticipated to surpass $1 billion.

To fund the acquisition, J&J will utilize cash reserves and debt, with anticipated financing costs expected to impact adjusted earnings by 10 cents per share in the current year and by 17 cents in 2025, according to Wolk.

This deal follows J&J’s previous announcement over a year ago, wherein it revealed a $16 billion investment in acquiring Abiomed, another cardiovascular technology company. Both acquisitions are anticipated to fortify J&J’s MedTech division, one of the two remaining segments post the divestment of its consumer health division, known for brands like Band-Aid and beauty products.

The completion of J&J’s Shockwave deal remains contingent upon regulatory and shareholder approvals, with both companies aiming to finalize the acquisition by mid-year. Following the announcement, shares of J&J, headquartered in New Brunswick, New Jersey, saw a modest increase of 32 cents to $152.82, while Shockwave Medical Inc., headquartered in Santa Clara, California, surged over $5 to $325.50.

China says it patrolled the South China Sea in response to US-led naval drills with allies

China says it patrolled the South China Sea in response to US-led naval drills with allies

BEIJING. The Chinese military declared on Sunday that it had carried out air and sea patrols in response to what it perceives as provocative actions in the South China Sea, particularly referencing recent naval exercises conducted by the United States and its allies.

The announcement comes in the wake of a joint statement issued on Saturday by defense chiefs from the United States, Japan, Australia, and the Philippines, revealing plans for joint military exercises in the region aimed at upholding maritime law and freedom of navigation.

The South China Sea has been a focal point of territorial disputes, with China asserting expansive claims that are contested by several Southeast Asian nations. Recent tensions, particularly with the Philippines, have escalated, prompting increased military posturing in the area.

In a move perceived as a show of support for its allies, the United States has conducted joint patrols with the Philippines, drawing criticism from China, which accuses the U.S. of exacerbating tensions by interfering in regional disputes.

A spokesperson for the Chinese military’s Southern Theater Command issued a brief statement asserting control over activities that “disrupt the South China Sea” without directly mentioning the United States or the joint exercises.

Similarly, the joint statement by the U.S. and its allies did not explicitly mention China. However, it reiterated the parties’ commitment to a 2016 international arbitration ruling, which rejected China’s expansive claims in the South China Sea, emphasizing its binding legal status.

The escalating tensions in the region are expected to be a focal point of discussions as U.S. President Joe Biden prepares to host his Japanese and Philippine counterparts in a summit at the White House later this week.

111-year-old British man becomes world’s oldest man

111-year-old British man born the same year the Titanic sank is now world’s oldest man

At 111 years and 224 days old, John Alfred Tinniswood, hailing from England, has clinched the esteemed title of the world’s oldest living man. This announcement was made by Guinness World Records on Friday, following the passing of the former record holder, Juan Vicente Pérez, at the age of 114.

In an interview conducted by Guinness, Tinniswood, upon receiving his certificate, philosophically remarked, “You either live long or you live short, and you can’t do much about it.” Despite attributing his longevity to luck, Tinniswood shared a piece of advice on moderation in life, cautioning against excessive indulgence in any aspect, be it drinking, eating, or physical activity.

Born on August 26, 1912, in Liverpool, Tinniswood has witnessed the unfolding of history, having lived through two world wars, the Great Influenza, and the Covid-19 pandemics. Notably, he holds the record for being the oldest surviving male World War II veteran. It’s a remarkable coincidence that he was born in the same year as the sinking of the Titanic.

A devoted supporter of Liverpool Football Club, Tinniswood has experienced the highs and lows of his team’s achievements, witnessing all nineteen league title wins and all eight FA cup victories.

Presently, the great-grandfather resides in a care home located in the English seaside town of Southport. Care home manager Katie Howard expressed her admiration for Tinniswood, describing him as an “amazing individual with so many stories to tell.” She added that he enjoys keeping up with current events by reading the paper and listening to the radio.

Meanwhile, the title of the world’s oldest living woman is held by 117-year-old Maria Branyas Morera, who resides in Spain.

3.6M estudyante apektado ng suspension ng in-person classes dahil sa matinding init ng panahon

Mahigit tatlong milyong mag-aaral mula sa 14 na rehiyon ang apektado dahil sa suspensyon ng in-person classes dahil sa matinding init ng panahon.

Sa ulat ng Department of Education (DepEd), nakita na 5,288 paaralan ang nagdeklara ng paglilipat sa alternative delivery modes katulad ng online classes at modular learning. Apektado rito ang 3,648,472 estudyante.

Nauna nang nagpaalala ang DepEd sa mga paaralan at lokal na pamahalaan na may kapangyarihan sila na magdeklara ng suspensyon ng klase kung hindi angkop ang kasalukuyang panahon sa pag-aaral sa classroom.

“Given that DepEd supervises more than 47,000 schools nationwide, it is in the best interest of the learning community to have localized assessments for timely response and interventions to ensure the welfare of learners and personnel,” ayon sa pahayag ng DepEd nitong Martes, Abril 2.

Dutch woman, 28, to be euthanized due to mental illness after psychiatrist said it will ‘never’ get any better

Dutch woman, 28, to be euthanized due to mental illness after psychiatrist said it will ‘never’ get any better

A 28-year-old Dutch woman, Zoraya ter Beek, has chosen to end her life next month due to her enduring struggles with depression, autism, and borderline personality disorder. The decision comes after her psychiatrist conveyed that her condition was unlikely to improve, leaving her feeling hopeless despite her otherwise physically healthy state.

Residing in a quaint Dutch town near the German border, ter Beek, along with her boyfriend and two cats, inhabits a comfortable home. However, her internal battles have led her to conclude that life has become unbearable. Once aspiring to become a psychiatrist herself, ter Beek’s dreams were thwarted by her own mental health challenges, preventing her from completing her education or embarking on a career.

Speaking to The Free Press, ter Beek revealed her poignant perspective, encapsulated by a tattoo on her arm symbolizing a “tree of life” in reverse, signifying her perception of life’s decline rather than growth. “Where the tree of life stands for growth and new beginnings, my tree is the opposite,” she expressed, highlighting her profound sense of despair.

Ter Beek’s decision was solidified when her psychiatrist conveyed, “There’s nothing more we can do for you. It’s never gonna get any better,” an admission that left her with a stark realization of the permanence of her suffering.

As she prepares for her final moments, ter Beek plans to recline on her living room couch in silence, accompanied by her devoted boyfriend. Reflecting on the euthanasia process, she described a serene atmosphere created by the attending doctor, emphasizing the importance of a peaceful transition.

Following her passing, a euthanasia review committee will scrutinize the circumstances to ensure adherence to due care criteria, underscoring the meticulous regulatory framework surrounding euthanasia in the Netherlands.

In the absence of a traditional funeral, ter Beek’s ashes will be scattered in a forest, a symbolic gesture reflecting her desire for simplicity and her wish to spare her partner from the burden of tending to a grave.

Despite her resolute decision, ter Beek admits to harboring fears about the unknown realm of death, contemplating the uncertainty of what lies beyond.

The Netherlands, a pioneer in euthanasia legislation since 2001, continues to grapple with the ethical complexities of end-of-life choices, a debate mirrored in other countries where assisted dying laws are in place.

Theo Boerin, a healthcare ethics professor, offers insight into the evolution of Dutch euthanasia practices, noting a shift from viewing death as a last resort to it becoming a default option, a transformation that has sparked vigorous debate within the medical and ethical spheres.

Ter Beek’s story serves as a poignant reminder of the profound dilemmas posed by mental illness and euthanasia, igniting discussions about compassion, autonomy, and the boundaries of medical intervention in the face of enduring suffering.
