Bataan, Zambales, Cebu tinakot ng bomb threat

Nagtala ng magkakahiwalay na bomb threat ang ilang lugar sa bansa ngayong Lunes, Pebrero 12, ayon sa mga ulat ng mga awtoridad.

Sa Bataan, naglabas ng direktiba si provincial police chief Police Colonel Palmer Tria para sa lahat ng istasyon ng pulisya na agarang rumesponde sa mga ahensya ng pamahalaan na nakatanggap ng bomb threat mula kay “Takahiro Karasawa.”

“A similar bomb threat from the same name of sender who identifies himself as Takahiro Karasawa, allegedly a lawyer, was also made last September and October 2023 and was found out also to be sent in other countries,” ayon kay Tria.

Sa Zambales ay hindi rin nakaligtas sa banta. Siniguro ng mga awtoridad sa Subic ang kaligtasan ng mga estudyante at mga empleyado sa lugar.

“Their primary objective was to ensure the safety and security of the entire community against any potential harm,” ayon sa pahayag ng Subic police.

Nagbigay din ng pahayag ang Cebu provincial police matapos makatanggap ng bomb threat ang Cebu City Hall of Justice, subalit natukoy na walang katotohanan ang banta kaya’t naibalik agad sa normal na takbo ng trabaho.

Kaugnay nito, kaninang umaga, nakatanggap din ng bomb threat ang central office ng Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) sa Metro Manila, ngunit matapos ang pagsisiyasat, lumitaw na peke ang naturang banta.

“Upon thorough investigation in cooperation with the Philippine National Police (PNP), the information being circulated has been verified to be a hoax,” ayon sa pahayag ng DENR.

“The DENR calls for vigilant sobriety and advises everyone to immediately report suspicious activity to local authorities. The Department continues to stay alert and committed to the security and well-being of our employees at all times,” dagdag pa ng ahensya.

Sa kabila ng mga pangyayaring ito, patuloy ang pagbabantay ng mga awtoridad upang masiguro ang kaligtasan ng publiko laban sa anumang potensyal na banta.

Nearly half of world’s migratory species facing decline, UN report says

Nearly half of world’s migratory species facing decline, UN report says

WASHINGTON. A new United Nations report released Monday reveals alarming statistics about the state of migratory species globally, indicating that nearly half of them are facing declines.

The report highlights the precarious situation of many migratory animals such as songbirds, sea turtles, whales, sharks, and others, which rely on moving between different environments with changing seasons. Threats including habitat loss, illegal hunting and fishing, pollution, and climate change are endangering their populations.

Lead author Kelly Malsch, speaking at a U.N. wildlife conference in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, emphasized the importance of migration for these species. She stated, “These are species that move around the globe. They move to feed and breed and also need stopover sites along the way.”

The report, based on existing data including information from the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List, indicates that 44% of migratory species worldwide are experiencing population declines, with over a fifth of them facing the threat of extinction.

Ecologist Stuart Pimm from Duke University, not involved in the report, underscored the critical role of migration for some species, stating, “Migration is essential for some species. If you cut the migration, you’re going to kill the species.”

Participants at the U.N. meeting are discussing proposals for conservation measures and considering whether to formally list several new species of concern. Susan Lieberman, vice president for international policy at the Wildlife Conservation Society, emphasized the need for collaborative efforts, stating, “One country alone cannot save any of these species.”

During the meeting, governments from South America are expected to propose adding two declining Amazon catfish species to the U.N. treaty’s list of migratory species of concern. Lieberman highlighted the importance of protecting the Amazon River basin, stating, “If the Amazon is intact, the catfish will thrive — it’s about protecting the habitat.”

The report comes amid ongoing efforts for conservation, with governments pledging in 2022 to protect 30% of the planet’s land and water resources at the U.N. Biodiversity Conference in Montreal, Canada.

Mag-ate, nalunod sa Taal Lake habang nagsu-swimming

LAUREL, Batangas. Dalawang magkapatid na babae ang naiahon ng mga mangingisda matapos silang mawala habang naglalangoy sa Taal Lake noong Sabado.

Unang naiahon ng mangingisdang si Keigi Gento ang bangkay ni Aira Gene Obejera, 27, residente ng Brgy. Marawoy, Lipa City. Matapos ang masusing paghahanap, natagpuan naman ni Renerio Flor ang bangkay ni Glenda Joy, 12, na palutang-lutang sa lawa.

Batay sa ulat ng Coast Guard Sub Station, lumalangoy ang mag-ate malapit sa tabing-ilog ng lawa sa nasabing lugar. Ngunit, naanod sila sa mas malalim na bahagi ng lawa hanggang sa mapadpad sila sa lugar at hindi na nila nakayang makabalik sa ligtas na lugar.

Agad isinugod sa Doctor E Malabanan Hospital ang dalawa ngunit hindi na sila naisalba.

Israeli forces rescue 2 hostages in dramatic raid amid Gaza airstrikes

TEL AVIV. Israel has announced the successful rescue of two Israeli-Argentinian hostages in a raid in Rafah, amidst heavy Israeli airstrikes targeting the southern Gazan city. The Israeli military confirmed that the two men, Fernando Simon Marman, 60, and Louis Har, 70, from Kibbutz Nir Yitzhak, were found in “good medical condition”.

Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, a spokesman for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), stated that the hostages were discovered on the second floor of a building in Rafah, following “heavy exchanges of fire at several locations simultaneously, with many terrorists.”

Residents in Rafah described the night of the raid as chaotic, with reports of heavy shooting and strong explosions. Abou Suhhaib, a resident in the Shaboura neighborhood, recounted hearing sounds of “strong explosions, as if hell had opened on the civilians,” and witnessing a helicopter landing amidst heavy gunfire.

Conflicting reports emerged regarding Palestinian casualties from the airstrikes, with AFP news agency citing Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry reporting “around 100 people” killed, while the Associated Press quoted local hospital officials stating at least 50 people were killed.

The rescued hostages were taken to Sheba Medical Center in central Israel for examination. Armon Aek, the acting director of the medical center, confirmed their stable condition and stated that initial examinations were conducted by the emergency room staff.

The hostages had been kidnapped by Hamas during the cross-border attack on October 7th, which triggered the ground invasion. The rescue operation comes after months of escalating violence between Israel and Hamas, resulting in numerous casualties on both sides.

Israel’s military operations in the Gaza Strip have drawn international concern, with several countries and international organizations warning against the planned offensive in Rafah, where an estimated 1.5 million people have sought refuge. UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron highlighted the dire situation, stating that “over half of Gaza’s population are sheltering in the area.”

US President Joe Biden reiterated the importance of protecting civilians in Rafah during a call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, emphasizing the need for a “credible and executable plan” to ensure their safety.

Despite international warnings, Prime Minister Netanyahu has insisted on proceeding with the offensive, citing the need to ensure Israel’s security. Hamas, however, has warned of “tens of thousands” of potential casualties and emphasized that any operation would jeopardize ongoing talks regarding the release of Israeli hostages held in Gaza.

A private jet crashed onto Florida interstate, killing 2

A plane crash on a Florida interstate claimed the lives of two individuals, identified as pilot Edward Daniel Murphy, aged 50, and co-pilot Ian Frederick Hofmann, aged 65, according to law enforcement officials from the Collier County Sheriff’s Office on Saturday.

The crash, which occurred Friday afternoon, also left three individuals injured. The survivors were identified as crew member Sydney Ann Bosmans, aged 23, and passengers Aaron Baker, aged 35, and Audra Green, aged 23, all hailing from Columbus, Ohio. They were transported to a local hospital, although their current conditions remain undisclosed.

In the moments preceding the catastrophe, the pilot calmly communicated with air traffic control, indicating the dire situation. “We’re clear to land, but we’re not gonna make the runway. We’ve lost both engines,” the pilot relayed just before the private jet attempted an emergency landing on Interstate 75.

Witnesses recounted the harrowing scene as the aircraft collided with a vehicle on the highway, with the wing of the plane dragging a car before striking a wall. The impact resulted in a fiery explosion, engulfing the area in flames and billowing black smoke.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has initiated an investigation into the crash site located near Naples, Florida. The flight, which originated from Ohio State University Airport in Columbus, Ohio, was en route to Naples when the tragic incident unfolded.

“We sent fire trucks with special foam to the scene, and three of the five people on board were taken from the wreckage alive,” stated Robin King, spokesperson for the Naples Airport Authority.

Eyewitness Brianna Walker described the terrifying moment when the plane narrowly missed her car before careening onto the highway. “It’s seconds that separated us from the car in front of us,” she recalled. “The wing pulverized this one car.”

The aircraft, operated by Hop-a-Jet Worldwide Charter based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, had been scheduled to return to its base on Friday afternoon, according to FlightAware aircraft tracker. Hop-a-Jet released a statement expressing concern for the well-being of those involved in the accident and announced plans to dispatch a team to the crash site for investigation.

Meanwhile, authorities have clarified that the aircraft is not affiliated with Ohio State University. A spokesperson for the university affirmed they had no further information regarding the incident.

Federal authorities anticipate issuing a preliminary report on the crash’s cause within 30 days, as investigations into the tragic event continue.

Landslide death toll in Davao de Oro climbs to 54

NABUNTURAN, Davao de Oro. The death toll from a devastating landslide in the southern Philippines has surged to 54, announced the provincial government on Sunday, as rescue efforts persistently unearth more victims from the debris.

The landslide, which occurred on Tuesday night near a gold mine in Maco town in the province of Davao de Oro, engulfed homes and vehicles transporting workers to the Apex Mining site.

In a Facebook post, the provincial government of Davao de Oro revised the death toll from an earlier count of 37 to 54, as rescue teams discovered additional casualties amidst the mud and rubble.

Currently, 63 individuals remain unaccounted for, although the provincial government has cautioned that this figure is subject to verification. The landslide also left 32 people wounded.

Edward Macapili, an official from Davao de Oro, disclosed that over 300 personnel are engaged in the rescue operation. However, adverse weather conditions, including heavy rainfall and thick mud, coupled with the looming threat of further landslides, have impeded progress.

Despite the challenging circumstances, rescue efforts resumed on Sunday morning, with Macapili conceding that the likelihood of finding survivors at this stage is slim. Nonetheless, he affirmed the unwavering commitment of the rescue team to persevere in their search and retrieval mission.

“The rescue team is doing its best, even if it’s very difficult,” Macapili conveyed to Reuters over the phone.

The province of Davao de Oro has been grappling with relentless torrential rains in recent weeks, exacerbating the risk of flooding and landslides across the region.

Fake lawyer involved in robbery extortion apprehended by Calabarzon police

CALAMBA CITY, Laguna. The Regional Intelligence Division-Regional Special Operations Unit 4A (RID-RSOU4A), in collaboration with the Biñan City Police Station, orchestrated a successful entrapment operation on February 6, 2024, leading to the apprehension of an individual engaged in robbery extortion and usurpation of authority in Biñan City, Laguna.

The suspect, identified as Datu Phe Piang Mastura, was apprehended following a joint operation at a restaurant located in Adelina 3 Commercial, Brgy Sto Tomas, Biñan City. Investigations revealed that Mastura had falsely portrayed himself as legal counsel for the Campos family, the previous proprietors of a commercial property situated at Adelina Complex, Sto. Tomas, Biñan City.

Under the guise of legal representation, the suspect unlawfully demanded monthly rental payments from numerous tenants, despite lacking the requisite legal credentials. Disturbed by the suspect’s actions, the aggrieved parties, choosing to remain anonymous, sought assistance from RID-RSOU4A and Biñan CPS. Subsequent inquiries disclosed that Mastura was not listed with the Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP), prompting authorities to execute an entrapment operation to apprehend him.

Operating under the alias Datu Marcuz A. Mastura, aged 27 and residing at Brgy. 710, Malate, Manila, the suspect also falsely presented himself as the Presidential Assistant on Intelligence Group and Investigation. He managed to extort P700,000.00 pesos from his victims.

During the operation, law enforcement officials recovered incriminating evidence from Mastura, including a Malacañang Palace ID under the name Datu Phe G. Mastura, a Social Welfare identification card named Datu Marcuz A Mastura, counterfeit currency, and a Macbook.

Commending the successful execution of the entrapment operation, Police Regional Office Calabarzon Regional Director PBGen Paul Kenneth T. Lucas praised the collaborative efforts that led to the suspect’s arrest. Director Lucas also urged other victims to come forward and pursue legal action against the apprehended suspect.

“Nananawagan ako sa mga naging biktima ng suspek na makipagtulungan at mag-file ng kaso upang mapanagot at hindi na makapangloko pa gamit ang pangalan ng gobyerno” Gen. Lucas emphasized.

Meanwhile, Mastura was presented to the Biñan City Office of the City Prosecutor on February 07, 2024, for inquest proceedings concerning charges of robbery, extortion, and usurpation of authority. The arrested suspect is presently detained at the Biñan Component City Police Station pending further legal proceedings.
