Lima sa mataas na opisyal ng PNP, inilipat sa bagong puwesto

Ipinatupad ni PNP Chief Gen. Benjamin Acorda, Jr. ang paglipat ng puwesto ng limang mataas na opisyal bilang bahagi ng reorganisasyon sa Philippine National Police (PNP).

Sa ulat na may petsang Nobyembre 17, inilipat si dating PNP Director for Information and Communication Technology Management (DICTM) Maj. Gen. Bernard Banac bilang bagong Director ng Special Action Force (SAF), pumalit kay Maj. Gen. Rudolph Dimas na itinalaga naman bilang hepe ng Directorate for Plans (DPL).

Ang dating DPL chief na si Brig. Gen. Neil Alinsañgan ay ililipat sa DICTM, samantalang si dating Police Community Affairs and Development Group (PCADG) director Brig. Gen. Lou Evangelista ay itinalaga bilang bagong Police Regional Office (PRO) 1 Director, pumalit kay Brig. Gen. John Chua.

Sa iba pang paglipat, inilagay si PCol. Restituto Arcanghel bilang PCDAG Director, habang si Chua naman ay itinalaga bilang bagong Area Police Command (APC) sa Visayas.

Nilinaw ni Acorda na ang reorganisasyon ay naglalayon lamang ng pagpuno sa mga bakanteng posisyon dulot ng pagreretiro ng ilang opisyal. Hindi aniya layunin ng PNP Chief na magkaruon ng malawakang balasahan maliban na lamang kung kinakailangan dahil sa pagreretiro ng ilang opisyal.

Inaasahan na magreretiro si Acorda sa unang Linggo ng Disyembre ngayong taon, sa pagtuntong niya sa edad na 56. #PNPReorganization #PoliceLeadership #PublicService

Evacuation of 31 premature babies evacuated from Gaza’s largest hospital, numerous trauma patients stranded

KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip. Thirty one premature babies in “extremely critical condition” were safely evacuated from Gaza’s largest hospital, Shifa Hospital, to Egypt on Sunday. This evacuation took place as Israeli forces entered the hospital to search for alleged Hamas operations, leaving over 250 patients with severely infected wounds and urgent conditions stranded.

The babies, who were receiving urgent care in Rafah due to power cuts and depleted supplies at Shifa Hospital, suffered from dehydration, hypothermia, and sepsis. Unfortunately, four infants lost their lives in the days leading up to the evacuation.

Amid escalating tensions, Israel claimed that Shifa Hospital served as a Hamas command post, providing evidence of a tunnel beneath the hospital complex. The tunnel allegedly included a firing hole and a blast-proof door. The hospital has been a focal point in the broader conflict, with Israel accusing Hamas of using medical facilities as military headquarters, a claim denied by hospital staff and Hamas.

In a separate incident, Yemen’s Houthi rebels seized an Israeli-linked cargo ship in the southern Red Sea, taking 25 crew members hostage. The rebels vowed to target ships connected to Israel, raising concerns about the conflict’s impact on maritime activities.

Meanwhile, heavy fighting was reported in the Jabaliya refugee camp in northern Gaza, with clashes causing civilian casualties. The UN agency for Palestinian refugees expressed outrage over an airstrike on a UN-run school in Jabalia, resulting in 24 deaths. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called for an end to the staggering number of civilian casualties.

The situation in Gaza worsened due to cold weather, with over two-thirds of the population displaced. The UN agency for Palestinian refugees struggled to provide basic services, and Israel’s restrictions on fuel imports exacerbated the crisis.

As the conflict persists, the international community remains engaged in negotiations to secure the release of hostages, while the war cabinet in Israel plans to meet with representatives of the hostages’ families. The broader impact of the conflict is evident, with thousands of Palestinians killed and the humanitarian situation deteriorating.

China claims to have developed world’s fastest internet network: ‘Can transmit 150 movies in one second’

China claims to have developed world’s fastest internet network: ‘Can transmit 150 movies in one second’

BEIJING. China has introduced what it claims to be the world’s most advanced internet network, boasting speeds several times faster than existing networks. The network, capable of reaching speeds of about 1.2 terabits per second, equivalent to transferring data from 150 movies in one second, has been officially launched by Chinese tech manufacturer Huawei in collaboration with China Mobile, Beijing’s Tsinghua University, and Cernet—an education and research network funded by the Chinese government.

Although these speeds are currently theoretical and not expected to be available for consumers in the near future, the development has significant implications for businesses, facilitating faster information transfers, providing stock trading advantages, and addressing national security considerations.

In a press conference this week, Huawei and China Mobile unveiled the next-generation backbone network, covering 1,800 miles of optic fiber cables between Beijing and the south. While details about the nationwide expansion plans were not disclosed, the network is expected to support data transfers from technologies such as 5G and electric vehicles.

The network has been operational since this summer and is launching approximately two years ahead of expert predictions. Chinese President Xi Jinping previously emphasized that the backbone network’s development positions the country as “a cyber power” and accelerates the promotion of core Internet technologies.

Despite potential concerns, this advancement primarily focuses on internet infrastructure rather than home internet speeds, making it less of a direct threat to the United States in comparison to competition in areas such as AI, semiconductors, or wireless networking technology. However, it could establish a foundation for Chinese-based businesses requiring substantial bandwidth.

Wu Jianping, a professor at Tsinghua University overseeing the backbone internet project, emphasized in a press release that the entire system, including software and hardware, was developed and produced in China, under independent control. He described it as the most advanced network globally.

Coinciding with President Biden’s upcoming meeting with President Xi Jinping in San Francisco, this technological launch aligns with broader tensions between the two superpowers. While the development of this advanced network may not directly impact home internet speeds, it positions China as a significant player in shaping the future of internet technology.

Pekeng opisyal ng army, huli sa matataas na kalibre ng baril

Biñan City, Laguna. Arestado ang isang pekeng opisyal ng hukbong sandatahan matapos salakayin hinggil sa mataas na kalibreng baril sa isang army training ground sa lungsod na ito kamakalawa.

Sa isinagawang operasyon, nakumpiska sa suspek ang ang 38 sari-saring baril at magazine, at libo-libong bala para sa iba’t ibang kalibre ng baril.

Batay sa ulat, matagal nang minamanmanan ng CIDG Laguna Provincial Field Unit, kasama ang pwersa ng PNP Biñan at AFP, ang suspek na kinilalang si Jose Francisco Ramos III. Ang operasyon ay isinagawa sa bisa ng limang search warrant na inisyu ni Hon. Agripino R. Bravo, Executive Judge ng RTC, Lucena City, Quezon, kaugnay sa paglabag sa RA Act 10591, ang batas na nagtatakda ng regulasyon sa pagmamay-ari at paggamit ng baril.

Kabilang din sa inaresto sa nilusob na bahay sa Amsterdam St., Town and Country, Barangay Langkiwa sa Biñan City sina Mark Sales at Darwin Darwin Regonis.

Nagpakilala ang suspek bilang mataas na opisyal ng Armed Forces of the Philippines at diumano ay may ranggong Army Lieutenant Colonel o General at nagre-recruit ng mga tao sa Facebook na sumali sa Philippine Wildlife Sentinel Unified Command (PWSUC). Iginiit ng suspek na ito ay kaanib ng Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) at naglilingkod siya doon bilang force multiplier para sa militar.

Ngunit sa verification mula sa 1303rd Defense Regional Community of the Philippine Army, lumabas na si Ramos ay hindi isang AFP Reservist at walang record ng assignment o hindi nakalista sa rooster ng AFP’s Joint Task Force NCR. Ganun din, ayon sa DENR-4A, ang PWSUC ay hindi konektado sa DENR-4A bilang Deputized Wildlife Enforcement Officers.

Ang mga naaresto at nakumpiskang ebidensya ay isinailalim sa dokumentasyon at tamang disposisyon sa CIDG Laguna PFU Office.

Emergency evacuation of premature infants from Gaza’s primary hospital to Egypt

Emergency evacuation of premature infants from Gaza’s primary hospital to Egypt

KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip. In a desperate bid to rescue infants amidst the escalating crisis, at least 30 premature babies were successfully evacuated from Gaza’s Shifa Hospital yesterday. The babies are en route to Egypt, following a distressing situation where a power blackout incapacitated vital equipment, and essential supplies became depleted during the presence of Israeli forces in the hospital compound.

The international community was drawn to the plight of the newborns after images surfaced depicting medical staff struggling to keep them warm amid the challenging circumstances. The evacuation, confirmed by Palestinian health officials, was carried out by the Palestinian Red Crescent rescue service in coordination with U.N. bodies. The infants are destined for a hospital in the Egyptian border city of Rafah, run by the United Arab Emirates.

Shifa Hospital remains a contentious point of conflict, with Israeli forces asserting that Hamas utilizes the facility as a command post, alleging the use of civilians as cover. In contrast, critics contend that the hospital symbolizes the reckless endangerment of civilians in the ongoing conflict.

The situation in northern Gaza continues to escalate, with heavy clashes reported in the Jabaliya refugee camp overnight into Sunday. Witnesses described constant gunfire and tank shelling, terming it another night of horror. The Jabaliya camp witnessed a tragic incident the day before, as witnesses reported an Israeli airstrike on a crowded U.N. shelter, resulting in dozens of casualties.

The overall toll of the conflict is staggering, with more than 11,500 Palestinians and 1,200 Israelis reported killed. The humanitarian crisis in Gaza persists, exacerbated by severe shortages of food, water, medicine, and fuel in the besieged territory. Over two-thirds of Gaza’s population of 2.3 million have fled their homes, seeking shelter in and around schools and other facilities.

Ongoing negotiations for a hostage release may influence the delivery of desperately needed aid to the region. A senior White House official suggested that a significant release of hostages would result in a pause in fighting and a surge of humanitarian relief. Qatar’s prime minister expressed confidence in reaching a deal soon, acknowledging that logistical challenges were among the remaining sticking points.

As the situation unfolds, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant announced an expansion of Israeli operations in Gaza City, signaling a potentially broader offensive in southern Gaza. The challenges posed by the conflict, coupled with winter’s arrival, have intensified the suffering of displaced civilians, with cold winds and driving rain buffeting tent camps. The evacuation zone is already crammed with displaced civilians, and it remains uncertain where they will go if the offensive moves closer. Egypt’s refusal to accept an influx of Palestinian refugees adds another layer of complexity to the humanitarian crisis. The ongoing developments underscore the urgency of finding a comprehensive and sustainable resolution to the conflict in Gaza.

Marcos at Xi, nag-usap hinggil sa WPS issues

SAN FRANCISCO, California. Sinabi ni Pangulong Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. na nagkaroon sila ng unawaan ni Chinese President Xi Jinping na ang mga isyu sa teritoryo sa South China Sea ay hindi dapat makaapekto sa ugnayan ng kanilang bansa.

“We were in agreement that the problems that we have in South China Sea with China should not be the defining element of our relationship,” ayon kay Marcos sa isang Kapihan sa Media kahapon Sabado (oras ng Pilipinas).

Sinabi ni Marcos na nagpahayag siya ng intensyon na makipagpulong kay Xi sa sidelines ng 2023 APEC Summit.

“We try to come up with the mechanisms to lower the tensions in the South China Sea and that’s essentially the message of what we spoke of to each other,” ayon kay Marcos.

Ibinalita ng pangulo na tinalakay nila ni Xi ang pagbaba ng tensyon sa West Philippine Sea, gaya ng insidente ng pagbangga sa sasakyang pandagat ng Pilipinas.

Bagamat marami ng diplomatic protests ang isinampa ng gobyernong Pilipino laban sa agresyon ng China, patuloy itong nagpapakita ng pagsuway sa arbitral ruling na nagtatakda sa malawakang claim sa lugar.

Sa kanyang state visit sa Washington noong Mayo, ipinahayag ni Marcos na itutuloy ng Pilipinas ang pagbabalanse ng kanilang relasyon sa China habang ipinagtatanggol ang kanilang soberanya.

Sa question-and-answer session sa Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), tinanong si Marcos kung paano mapanatili ng Manila ang maayos na ugnayan sa Beijing habang ipinagtatanggol ang kanilang soberanya sa gitna ng patuloy na harassment sa South China Sea.

Ang sagot ni Marcos, “Well, in the same way that we maintain our relationship with the US, we constantly consult with our allies and partners. We constantly keep our lines of communications open.”

Global measles crisis: Deaths surge by 40% amidst pandemic-induced vaccination decline

Global measles crisis: Deaths surge by 40% amidst pandemic-induced vaccination decline

Global measles-related deaths experienced a sharp increase of over 40% last year, with a surge in cases attributed to a significant decline in vaccination rates during the pandemic, according to statements from prominent health agencies on Thursday.

The highly contagious disease prompted epidemics in 37 countries in the past year, a notable rise from 22 countries in 2021. The World Health Organization and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention disclosed in a recent report that measles affected 9 million children, claiming the lives of 136,000 individuals, primarily in economically disadvantaged countries.

The report also highlighted a nearly 20% increase in measles cases, correlated with a substantial drop in immunization levels, hitting their lowest point in 15 years during the pandemic.

John Vertefeuille of the CDC expressed concern over the staggering surge in measles outbreaks and fatalities, emphasizing that the decline in vaccination rates in recent years made such a rise unsurprising.

The agencies underscored the significance of two doses of the measles vaccine, which provide high protection against the disease. Children in developing regions, including Africa, Southeast Asia, Latin America, and India, face the highest risk. The WHO and CDC lamented that immunization rates in impoverished nations remain stagnant at around 66%, reflecting no recovery from the setbacks experienced during the pandemic.

Measles, known for its high infectiousness, spreads through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes, with young children under 5 being the most commonly affected. Symptoms include fever, cough, runny nose, and a distinctive rash.

Complications leading to fatalities are often associated with encephalitis, severe dehydration, serious respiratory problems, and pneumonia, with young children and adults over 30 being particularly vulnerable.

The disease has not spared wealthier countries, as evidenced by a recent surge. British health authorities issued warnings in July, highlighting an extremely high risk of outbreaks in London, with some areas reporting a mere 40% vaccination rate among children.

Immunization rates against measles in the U.K. have never fully rebounded since the dissemination of unfounded claims linking the vaccine to autism by discredited British doctor Andrew Wakefield over two decades ago. Despite no scientific evidence supporting the alleged link, Wakefield’s research resulted in a widespread abandonment of the measles shot by millions of parents globally.

Bagong upong chairman, patay sa baril

BAYOMBONG, Nueva Vizcaya. Patay ang isang bagong halal na barangay chairman matapos barilin sa loob ng kanyang bahay sa Barangay Calitlitan, Aritao, bayang ito, kamakalawa ng gabi.

Kinilala ni Police Capt. Manny Paul Pawid, information officer ng Nueva Vizcaya Police Provincial Office, ang biktima na si Rolando Serapon, 76, na kamakailan lamang nanalo bilang barangay captain sa nagdaang Barangay at Sangguniang Kabataan Elections.

Ayon sa inisyal na imbestigasyon ng Aritao Police, habang kausap ng biktima ang kanyang asawa sa loob ng kanilang bahay, biglang sumulpot ang suspek at pinagbabaril ang biktima na noon ay nakaupo, bandang alas-6:45 ng gabi.

Pagkatapos ng pamamaril, mabilis na tumakas ang hindi pa nakikilalang gunman sakay ng motorsiklo. Dinala ang biktima sa Nueva Vizcaya Provincial Hospital ngunit idineklarang dead-on-arrival dahil sa mga tama ng bala sa iba’t ibang bahagi ng katawan.

Batay sa imbestigasyon ng pulisya, ang suspek na nagmotorsiklo ay may katamtamang pangangatawan, nakasuot ng itim na shorts, itim na T-shirt, at berdeng face mask.

Bago naganap ang insidente, dumalo pa ang biktima sa isang seremonya ng turn-over para sa unang araw ng panunungkulan ng mga bagong opisyal ng barangay.

Sa pangunguna ni Pawid, binuo agad ng Philippine National Police (PNP) ang Special Investigation Task Group para imbestigahan ang kaso at alamin ang motibo at pagkakakilanlan ng suspek sa likod ng nasabing krimen.
