Planong buweltahan ng kampo ni dating Senador Leila de Lima ang mga nag akusa sa kanya

Ipinahayag ng kampo ni dating Senador Leila de Lima ang kanilang plano na buweltahan ang mga taong nag-akusa sa kanya at nagdawit sa illegal na droga sa New Bilibid Prison (NBP).

Sa pahayag ni Atty. Dino de Leon, pinag-usapan na ng kanilang koponan ang tamang hakbang para tugunan ang kanilang tinatawag na “political prosecutors.” Iginiit ni De Leon na hindi dapat walang managot, lalo na sa mga bumaboy sa sistema ng katarungan sa bansa.

Ayon sa abogado, ang mga nasa likod ng frame-up at sangkot sa political persecution kay dating Senador de Lima ay kinakailangang managot sa pagkakabilanggo niya sa loob ng mahigit anim na taon.

Samantalang umaasa si De Lima na magkaroon ng pagkakataon na makita ang kanyang pamilya sa lalawigan at muling maibalik ang normal na buhay matapos makapag-bail at makalabas ng bilangguan nitong Lunes.

Dumulog rin ang dating senador sa Minor Basilica sa Our Lady of the Rosary sa Manaoag, Pangasinan, kahapon. Inamin niya na wala siyang tulog dahil sa matinding pagod mula nang makalabas sa Camp Crame.

Ngunit, aniya, ang mahalaga ngayon ay kasama na niya ang kanyang mga kaibigan, at sa mga susunod na araw, makakasama na rin niya ang kanyang pamilya at muling makakabalik sa kanyang normal na buhay.

Prince’s iconic wardrobe hits the auction block, showcasing his musical and fashion legacy

BOSTON. Devotees of Prince, renowned not just for his chart-topping melodies but also for his extravagant style, will get the chance to bid on pieces from the late artist’s distinctive wardrobe in an upcoming online auction. More than 200 items, meticulously gathered by a French collector who initially envisioned a Prince museum, will be up for grabs in this auction overseen by RR Auction of Boston.

Originally planning a museum dedicated to celebrating Prince’s legacy, the collector sought out items from individuals closely connected to the iconic musician. Recognizing Prince not only as a musical virtuoso but also as a trendsetting fashion icon, the collector compiled a collection spanning the artist’s evolution from the “Purple Rain” era to his passing in 2016.

A notable highlight is the white ruffled shirt worn by Prince during his 1985 American Music Awards performance of “Purple Rain,” estimated to be valued at $15,000. The auction provides a journey through Prince’s musical and fashion progression, showcasing how his style continues to influence contemporary artists reinventing themselves for each tour.

Among the prized items is the outfit worn by Prince in the 1986 film “Under the Cherry Moon,” his directorial debut, with an estimated value of $45,000. Other items include high-heeled blue boots from the Act I Tour valued at $20,000, a custom-made gold stage outfit with love symbols estimated at $10,000, a blue Schecter ‘Cloud’ Guitar played by Prince valued at $4,000, and a distinctive chain hat.

Beyond the fashion pieces, the auction features original Polaroid photographs, master tapes of hit albums, and official documentation related to Prince’s films and music videos. Bidding for this extensive collection will conclude on Thursday.

Earlier this year, Minnesota, Prince’s home state, paid tribute to the legendary artist by renaming a stretch of highway passing his Paisley Park home after him. The governor signed the renaming bill with purple ink, Prince’s signature color.

Presyo ng Noche Buena items, nagtataas na!

Nakakaramdam na ang publiko ng pagtaas ng presyo ng mga pangunahing produkto na karaniwang ginagamit sa pagdiriwang ng Noche Buena, bagaman at wala pang opisyal na price guide mula sa Department of Trade and Industry (DTI).

Sa ulat ng ABS-CBN News, ayon sa nakaraang presyo ng mga Noche Buena items noong nakaraang holiday season, lumalabas na tumaas ng P5 hanggang P6 ang bawat pakete ng ilang klase ng hamon, habang P120 ang itinaas ng isang brand ng chicken ham.

Ang presyo naman kada pakete ng ilang brand ng elbow macaroni ay naglalaro sa P1.70 hanggang P7.25, habang P2 hanggang P4 naman ang itinaas kada lata ng ilang brand ng fruit cocktail.

Napansin din na may pagtaas sa presyo ng ilang klase ng spaghetti na P5 kada pakete at P6 naman ang itinaas sa presyo ng tomato sauce.

Bagamat may ilang brand ng cheese, sandwich spread, at mayonnaise na may bahagyang pagbaba ng presyo, inaasahan pa rin na magtataas ang presyo ng iba pang Noche Buena products sa mga nalalapit na araw bago ang Pasko.

Ang pagtaas ng presyo ay kaakibat ng anunsyo ng ilang manufacturer na nagbigay babala ng dagdag presyo ngayong Nobyembre.

Asahan din na ang mga produkto na gawa sa baboy, tulad ng ham, ay tataas din, kasabay ng pagtaas ng presyo ng mga sangkap nito tulad ng asukal at mga spices.

Urgent plea for evacuation of hundreds of patients and babies from Gaza’s largest hospital

Urgent plea for evacuation of hundreds of patients and babies from Gaza’s largest hospital

DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip. Palestinian authorities are urgently seeking a Red Cross-supervised evacuation of Shifa Hospital in Gaza, overwhelmed by ongoing fighting. Health officials emphasize the critical need to save three dozen newborns trapped in the besieged facility, proposing a cease-fire for their safe transport out of the area.

Israeli forces, engaged in days of conflict with Palestinian militants, have encircled Shifa Hospital. Hundreds of patients, medical staff, and displaced individuals are trapped, facing dwindling supplies and electricity shortages that compromise essential medical equipment.

Gaza’s largest hospital, Shifa, has become a stark symbol of Palestinian suffering amid the prolonged war between Israel and Hamas. With only one functional hospital remaining in the north, approximately 200,000 Palestinians have fled southward, facing worsening conditions, according to the U.N. humanitarian office.

In its sixth week, the war was triggered by Hamas’ surprise attack into Israel, resulting in civilian casualties and the abduction of hostages. The conflict has claimed thousands of Palestinian lives, causing widespread destruction in the impoverished enclave.

The Israeli military accuses Hamas of using hospitals as cover and alleges the presence of a command center in Shifa. The Health Ministry denies these claims, inviting international organizations to investigate. The ministry reports 40 deaths since the hospital’s generator ran out of fuel, with 36 newborns at risk due to power shortages.

Efforts to transfer incubators to Shifa are underway, but the World Health Organization insists that evacuation, supervised by the Red Cross, is the only viable solution. Specialized equipment and a cease-fire along the route would be required for a successful evacuation.

As the situation deteriorates, Israel urges Gaza City’s evacuation, but the southern territory remains unsafe. Overcrowded U.N.-run shelters, scarcity of essentials, and environmental challenges exacerbate the plight of displaced Palestinians. Rainy, cold weather compounds the misery, with tent camps facing structural failures.

The U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees faces a potential halt in aid operations by Wednesday due to fuel shortages. Regional tensions escalate as casualties mount, with over 11,000 Palestinians reported killed, and ongoing violence in the Israeli-occupied West Bank adds to the grim toll.

The war’s impact extends beyond Gaza, prompting evacuations in Israel and fueling tensions in the West Bank. As urgent calls for evacuation persist, the international community faces a pressing humanitarian crisis in the midst of a protracted conflict.

De Lima, pinayagan nang magpiyansa!

Matapos ang halos pitong taon na pagkakakulong, binigyan ng pahintulot ng Muntinlupa City RTC si dating Senador Leila de Lima na magpiyansa.

Sa isang open hearing, ipinaalam ng Muntinlupa RTC Branch 206 na ang Criminal Case No. 17-167, ang kanyang huling kaso na kinakaharap, kung kaya at pinayagan siyang magpiyansa sa halagang P300,000.

Ayon sa legal team ni De Lima, handang magbigay ng piyansa ang kanilang grupo at humabol sa cut-off time upang maiwasang manatili pa si De Lima sa Camp Crame ng isang gabi pa.

Itinakda ni Judge Gener Gito, ang nabanggit na hearing kahapon, Lunes, Nobyembre 13, upang pakinggan ang motion to quash na isinampa ni dating Bureau of Corrections chief Franklin Bucayu, isa sa mga akusado ni De Lima.

Binaligtad ni Gito ang isang desisyon at pinagbigyan ang kahilingan ni de Lima at apat pang mga akusado na makapagpiyansa habang nililitis sa huling kaso sa droga. Ang dalawang iba pang non-bailable na kaso hinggil sa droga laban sa kanya ay ibinasura na.

Nakabinbin din sa nasabing korte ang motion for reconsideration ng kampo ni De Lima kaugnay sa naunang desisyon ni Judge Romeo Buenaventura na nagbasura sa kanilang kahilingan na pansamantalang makalaya.

Unprecedented challenges for news outlets navigating flood of Gaza war videos

Unprecedented challenges for news outlets navigating flood of Gaza war videos

NEW YORK. The ongoing conflict in Gaza is not just a battleground on the ground but also in the digital realm, as news organizations grapple with a deluge of videos from various sources. While journalists face limited access to the war zone, the abundance of online footage has become a critical, albeit emotionally overwhelming, resource for documenting the realities of the conflict.

Livestreams capturing the skyline of Gaza City, dash-cam footage from Israel, satellite imagery revealing tank tracks, and even mall security cameras recording bomb detonations contribute to the complex mosaic of information available to news outlets. Sifting through this material to verify authenticity and uncover unexpected connections has become an increasingly crucial aspect of modern journalism.

Katie Polglase, an investigative producer for CNN, emphasized the significance of this digital age journalism, stating, “It has become a key part of doing journalism in the modern age.”

Recognizing the importance of leveraging data and technology, CBS News recently launched “CBS News Confirmed,” a dedicated team tasked with studying online evidence. Similarly, the “BBC Verify” unit was formed earlier this year to enhance open-source reporting methods on a global scale.

This capability was notably evident when major news organizations, including The New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, CNN, and The Associated Press, conducted in-depth analyses of video evidence to ascertain the disputed cause of a deadly explosion at Gaza’s al-Ahli Arab Hospital on October 17. Despite differing conclusions, the use of video evidence underscores the evolving nature of journalism.

In an era where audiences expect immediate and shared viewing experiences, the ubiquity of smartphones equipped with video cameras has transformed the way news events are reported. Wendy McMahon, president of CBS News and Stations, acknowledged this shift, stating, “The reality is that audiences expect to participate in a shared viewing experience, to learn what is going on along with anchors and reporters.”

The abundance of video content on platforms like X (formerly Twitter), YouTube, Instagram, Telegram, and Facebook presents both harrowing and misleading images. Combatants strategically use such visuals to influence public perception, as evident in the case of Hamas members wearing cameras during their October 7 killing spree in Israel.

However, the challenge for news organizations lies not only in debunking falsehoods but also in striking a balance between conveying reality and considering the potential trauma inflicted on consumers by graphic content. The increasing prevalence of manipulated videos, commonly known as deep fakes, adds an additional layer of complexity to the task of verifying information.

While artificial intelligence is a concern, experts suggest its current impact in this war has been limited compared to the circulation of old videos presented as new. Journalists find themselves at the forefront of countering misinformation, utilizing open-source reporting methods to piece together stories from various online sources.

The toll on journalists involved in this investigative work is not just physical but also emotional. News outlets are now recognizing the importance of mental health support for journalists exposed to disturbing video content for extended periods.

In a world inundated with information, news organizations navigate the challenges of ensuring accuracy, authenticity, and responsible reporting amidst the evolving landscape of digital journalism.

In Gaza City’s al-Shifa Hospital, wounded Palestinians are seated, having been transferred from al-Ahli Hospital after an explosion on October 17, 2023. The Hamas-controlled Health Ministry attributes the blast, which claimed hundreds of lives at al-Ahli, to an Israeli airstrike. In contrast, the Israeli military contends it resulted from a misfired Palestinian rocket. Within news organizations, the crucial task of sifting through online material to discern reality and uncover unexpected clues has become increasingly vital. The significance of this capability was notably demonstrated when global news outlets conducted thorough analyses of video evidence to determine the disputed cause of the deadly October 17 explosion at al-Ahli Hospital. (AP Photo/Abed Khaled, File)

Parusa sa hindi magtitinda ng half rice, itinulak sa Kamara

Parusa sa hindi magtitinda ng half rice, itinulak sa Kamara

Itinutulak sa Kamara ang pagsasabatas ng obligadong paglalagay ng half-rice sa menu ng mga food establishments at ang parusa sa mga hindi sumusunod dito.

Sa Anti-Rice Wastage Act (House Bill 9510) na isinumite ni Quezon Rep. Keith Micah Tan, ipapataw ang parusa sa mga restawran na hindi mag-aalok ng half-rice.

Ang orihinal na panukala ay inihain ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. noong siya ay senador pa lamang. Inisponsor naman ito ng ina ng mambabatas na si Quezon Gov. Helen Tan noong siya ay miyembro pa ng Kongreso.

Layunin ng panukala na bawasan ang pag aaksaya ng bigas sa mga restaurant, commissary, cafeteria, cafe, lunchroom, bistro, fast food establishment, at iba pang kainan.

“Hindi naman po natin pagbabawalan ang ‘unli rice’ o paparusahan ‘yun na hindi makakatapos ng kanin sa kanilang buffet. Ang nais lang po natin ay makatulong upang hindi maaksaya ang bigas na itinuturing natin na ginto at upang bigyang-pansin ang kapakanan ng ating mga magsasaka at isulong rin ang kalusugan ng bawat mamamayan,” sabi ni Tan.

Sa ilalim ng panukala, kinakailangan na ilagay ang one-half cup ng kanin sa menu. Ang mga hindi sumusunod ay pagmumultahin ng P5,000 sa unang paglabag, P10,000 sa ikalawa, at P20,000 at suspensyon ng lisensya o permit to operate ng hindi bababa sa 30 araw sa ikatlo at mga susuunod pang paglabag.

Ayon kay Tan, House Assistant Majority Leader, ang panukala ay sagot sa panawagan ng Department of Agriculture (DA) sa mga negosyo sa pagkain na isama ang half cup ng kanin sa kanilang menu.

Gaza hospitals evacuated amid intensifying battles, stranding patients and medics

DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip. In a dire escalation of the conflict in northern Gaza, battles around hospitals have forced thousands of Palestinians to flee, leaving critically wounded patients, newborns, and caregivers stranded. Health officials reported that the ongoing clashes have left medical facilities without electricity and with dwindling supplies.

The Israeli military, advocating for civilians’ safety, urged Palestinians to evacuate southward through designated safe corridors. However, this evacuation effort has resulted in over two-thirds of the territory’s 2.3 million population being displaced from their homes.

Over the weekend, Israeli troops encircled Shifa Hospital in Gaza, prompting thousands to flee, while hundreds of patients and displaced individuals remained inside, according to officials. The World Health Organization’s Director-General, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, stated that Shifa Hospital is no longer functioning as a hospital.

Another hospital in Gaza City, Al-Quds, had to shut down due to a lack of fuel, with the Palestinian Red Crescent preparing to evacuate around 6,000 patients, medics, and displaced individuals.

The hospital crisis has become a symbol of the larger six-week-long conflict triggered by Hamas’ surprise attack into Israel on October 7. Israel’s response has caused unprecedented levels of death and destruction in Gaza.

Shifa Hospital, Gaza’s largest, has been a focal point for both sides. Palestinians seek refuge in its corridors, performing surgeries with limited supplies and no anesthesia. Israel claims that Hamas uses the hospital as a shield, alleging the presence of a command center within the medical compound.

The U.N. health official reported that many displaced families and moderately injured patients fled the hospital over the weekend, leaving approximately 650 patients, 500 medical staff, and around 2,500 displaced Palestinians inside hospital buildings.

Since the hospital’s emergency generator ran out of fuel on Saturday, 32 patients, including three babies, have died, and 36 babies, along with other patients, are at risk due to the lack of power for life-saving medical equipment.

Efforts to transfer critically ill infants face significant challenges, with ambulances unable to reach the hospital. The military claims to have placed fuel near the hospital, but access has allegedly been blocked by Hamas militants.

The U.S. has called for temporary pauses for aid distribution, but Israel has only agreed to daily windows for civilians to flee, continuing its strikes on militant targets.

Those who reach the south encounter additional hardships, including overflowing U.N.-run shelters, halted trash collection, paralyzed water treatment systems, and a lack of fuel, leaving taps dry and sewage in the streets.

The toll on human lives is staggering, with over 11,000 Palestinians and at least 1,200 Israelis reported dead since the conflict began. Health officials, working out of Shifa, face challenges in updating the toll due to the difficulty of collecting information amidst the ongoing crisis. The situation remains critical, with no immediate resolution in sight.

Tensions escalate in South China Sea as Chinese ships chase Philippine vessels, igniting U.S. warning

Tensions escalate in South China Sea as Chinese ships chase Philippine vessels, igniting U.S. warning

ABOARD THE BRP CABRA. In a renewed episode of high-stakes brinkmanship, dozens of Chinese coast guard and accompanying ships engaged in aggressive maneuvers against Philippine vessels in the contested South China Sea, prompting a stern warning from the United States about defending its treaty ally.

Amidst the confrontation, a U.S. Navy surveillance plane monitored the situation closely as Chinese ships encircled and pursued Philippine vessels, escalating tensions near Second Thomas Shoal. During the four-hour standoff, a Chinese coast guard ship reportedly deployed a water cannon against a Philippine motorboat delivering supplies to Filipino forces stationed on a decrepit warship.

China’s persistent claims over the strategically vital waterway have sparked clashes with neighboring nations, drawing the United States into the fray as Manila’s primary ally and China’s regional rival. In response, the U.S. and its allies have deployed naval assets to assert freedom of navigation, deter aggression, and reassure allies like the Philippines.

Concerns loom over the potential for armed conflict at Second Thomas Shoal, situated within the U.N.-sanctioned Philippine exclusive economic zone but contested by China. Despite Philippine assurances that they seek to avoid a larger conflict, tensions remain high.

In the face of Chinese blockades, the Philippine contingent successfully delivered supplies to the aging BRP Sierra Madre, a warship donated by the U.S. Although the vessel is deteriorating, any armed attack on it would be considered an act of war by Manila.

Journalists aboard Philippine coast guard ships documented the perilous confrontations, showcasing what officials term a “shame campaign” to expose China’s growing aggression in a key global trade route.

Philippine coast guard Commodore Tarriela affirmed their commitment to the rule of law and stated that they wouldn’t be provoked by China’s tactics. The U.S. reiterated its support for its ally and warned of its obligation to defend the Philippines under the 1951 Mutual Defense Treaty.

Despite international calls to adhere to the 2016 arbitration decision invalidating China’s expansive claims, Beijing continues to defy it. China’s coast guard justified its actions, urging the Philippines to cease provocations.

Efforts to negotiate a nonaggression pact between China and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) face headwinds, with skirmishes at Second Thomas Shoal persisting. The Philippines remains steadfast in its commitment to defend the shoal, setting the stage for continued tensions in the South China Sea.
