Ayon sa pulisya, bandang alas-7:00 ng gabi nang pareho nilang minamaneho ang kanilang traysikel at patungo sa magkahiwalay na direksyon. Nang makarating sila sa nasabing lugar, nagbanggaan ang dalawang sasakyan na nagresulta sa pagkawasak ng mga traysikel.
Itinaas ng Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs)ang Alert Level ng bulkang Mayon sa Alert Level 3 matapos ang patuloy na pagtaas ng mga insidente ng pagguho ng bato
Indikasyon ito ng pagsisimula ng posibilidad ng pagputok, ayon sa Phivolcs dahil sa patuloy na pagtaas ng mga insidente ng pagguho ng bato.
Ayon sa Phivolcs sa isang abiso na inilabas nitong Huwebes, ang sunud-sunod na pagguho ng lumalaking bunton sa tuktok ng Bulkang Mayon ay nagdulot ng mas maraming bilang at dami ng mga insidente ng pagguho ng bato simula noong Hunyo 5 nang itaas ang alert status sa Antas 2.
Mula Hunyo 5 hanggang Hunyo 8, naitala ng Phivolcs ang 267 na insidente ng pagguho ng bato at dalawang bulkanikong lindol. May 54 na insidente ng pagguho ng bato mula Hunyo 1 hanggang Hunyo 4.
Sa ilalim ng Alert Level 3, ipinapakita ng Bulkang Mayon ang isang malagumang pagputok ng isang bunton ng lava sa tuktok nito, na may mas mataas na tsansa ng pagdaloy ng lava at mapanganib na pyroclastic density currents na maaring makaapekto sa mga itaas hanggang gitnang bahagi ng bulkan at posibleng pagsabog sa loob ng mga linggo o araw.
Iminungkahi ng Phivolcs ang paglikas ng mga residente na nasa loob ng 6-kilometrong radius na permanenteng panganib na lugar dahil sa panganib ng mga pyroclastic density currents, pagdaloy ng lava, pagguho ng bato, at iba pang mapanganib na epekto ng bulkan.
Samantala, mahigit 100 residente sa bayan ng Laurel, Batangas ang nagkasakit na dahil sa ibinubugang sulfur dioxide, isang mapanganib na gas, ng Taal Volcano, ayon sa isang local health official.
Karaniwang idinadaing ng mga residente ang ubo at sipon, pananakit ng dibdib, at pangangati ng mata.
Sinabi ng Phivolcs na hindi pa nito itataas ang alert level para sa Taal Volcano, na kasalukuyang nasa Level 1 o “low-level unrest” category, dahil walang ibang indicators maliban sa smog.
Ang sulfur dioxide ay nakakaapekto sa baga at sa mataas na antas ay maaaring magresulta sa pagkasunog ng ilong at lalamunan, mahirap na paghinga, at malubhang sagabal sa daanan ng hangin, ayon sa US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Gayon pa man, hindi kasing panganib ng Mayon ang sitwasyon ng Taal, ayon sa Phivolcs.
Sinabi ng Office of the Civil Defense (OCD) kanina na nagdaos sila ng mga kumperensya sa paghahanda at koordinasyon kasama ang Phivolcs, Department of Health, at Environment Natural Resources dahil sa patuloy na pagtaas ng alert level ng bulkang Mayon at Taal.
Kaugnay nito, handa ang pamahalaan na magbigay ng tulong sakaling pumutok ang dalawang bulkan, ayon kay Pangulong Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. ngayong Huwebes.
Sinabi ni Marcos sa isang panayam sa media sa Manila Hotel, na mahigpit na binabantayan ng pamahalaan ang Bulkang Mayon at Taal.
ROME. Pope Francis’ was in “good general condition” Thursday, alert and breathing on his own, following a three-hour operation to remove intestinal scar tissue and repair a hernia in his abdominal wall, the Vatican said.
The 86-year-old Francis rested “extensively” during a peaceful night at Rome’s Gemelli hospital and was spending his first full day after the surgery observing the “necessary post-operative rest,” the Vatican said in a statement.
“The pope is informed of the messages of closeness and affection that have come in the last few hours and expresses his gratitude, while asking for continued prayers for him,” the statement said.
Francis was admitted to Gemelli on Wednesday for his second major abdominal operation in two years, following a 2021 procedure to remove part of his colon. During the procedure, doctors removed adhesions, or internal scarring, on the intestine that had caused a partial blockage. They also repaired a hernia that had formed over a previous scar, placing a prosthetic mesh in the abdominal wall.
Dr. Sergio Alfieri, director of abdominal and endocrine sciences at Gemelli who performed the surgery, said the operation was a success, that there were no complications and that Francis was suffering from no other pathologies. He said the tissue removed was benign and that after he recovers, Francis should be fine.
He revealed that in addition to that 2021 operation, Francis had undergone previous abdominal surgeries sometime before 2013 in his native Argentina, which had also caused intestinal scarring.
Alfieri, who also removed part of Francis’ colon in 2021, told an evening press conference that the pope was awake, alert and even joking. “When will we do the third one?” he quoted Francis as saying.
The pontiff was expected to remain in the 10th floor papal suite at Gemelli for several days, and all papal audiences were canceled through June 18.
The operation was scheduled after Francis had complained about increasing bouts of pain and intestinal blockages. After going to Gemelli on Tuesday for checks, Francis was admitted Wednesday following his general audience and underwent the procedure a short time later.
The surgery was likely scheduled now to give Francis plenty of time to recover before embarking on planned travel later this summer: an Aug. 2-6 trip to Portugal for World Youth Day, an Aug. 31-Sept. 4 trip to Mongolia and a Sept. 23 day trip to Marseille, France.
A feared protrusion, or bulging of the intestine through the hernia tear, was apparently not found.
“It appears they operated on him in a timely fashion with no compromise to his intestine,” said Dr. Walter Longo, chief of colon and rectal surgery at Yale University School of Medicine, who did not participate in the surgery and commented after consulting the Vatican statement on the procedure.
Dr. P. Ravi Kiran, chief of colorectal surgery at Columbia University, said the fact that there were adhesions removed “suggests that the small intestine might take some time to recover.”
“It is good news that bowel did not need to be removed and the surgeon was able to place prosthetic mesh to bridge the defect in the abdominal muscle,” Kiran said in an email. “There is always a risk of mesh infection when placed in a situation such as this, but factors such as any contamination seen at surgery, type of mesh and antibiotics used also impinge on this risk.”
Francis remained in charge of the Vatican and the 1.3-billion strong Catholic Church, even while unconscious and in the hospital, according to canon law.
In July 2021, Francis spent 10 days at Gemelli to remove 33 centimeters (13 inches) of his large intestine. In an interview with The Associated Press in January, Francis said the diverticulosis, or bulges in his intestinal wall, that prompted that surgery had returned.
Dr. Manish Chand, a professor of surgery at University College London who specializes in colorectal surgery, said the greatest issue going forward will be pain management and making sure the wound heals properly.
“In the first six weeks after this type of surgery, you’re at risk of getting a recurrence again,” he said. To avoid that, patients are advised not to do anything strenuous.
One of the last people to see Francis on Wednesday before he left the Vatican for the hospital was the Rev. Enzo Fortunato, spokesman of the Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi.
“He was very serene, very tranquil, and he encouraged us to go on,” Fortunato recalled. “This really hit me because it means he is not a man who is self-centered but focused on others. We said to him ‘Courage, and we will support you with our prayers.’”

A university president said in a gathering that the progress of countries continues despite the problem of understanding the true state of the world. He said there are narratives that confuse the people. He considered fake news, dis/misinformation, and deep fakes on social media as just some of the things that are confusing the situation in the Philippines and other countries
Governments find it hard to focus on learning crises because they are too systemic, causing us to fall into confusion about who to believe, where to really start change, and when to fight against the excess of power. Is it really giving hope to people to get out of poverty? In perception alone, that hope is already vague. It is unclear because instead of anti-corruption drives getting better, corruption is getting worse. It is the same with peace and order, with the police being criticized left and right, in lower and upper houses of Congress, that is why we say that as a matter of awareness, we have failed in giving hope to the poor.
In the conduct of surveys by legitimate firms, are people satisfied with the resolutions to the Pharmally scam, the “Pastillas” bribery scheme at the Bureau of Immigration, the lowering of commodity prices, and even the hope that the promises made when the politicians were campaigning in 2022 will be fulfilled? Most of the reactions are: “pare-pareho lang ang mga iyan;” “wala na tayong aasahan sa mga iyan;” and “lagi naman tayong nganga sa mga pangako ng mga pulitiko.”
Studies cannot ascertain whether Filipinos are doing something to change the poor living conditions of many of their countrymen, but only one thing is clear: there are also many who benefit from the wrong ways of leaders.
In the depth of the problem, it cannot be fathomed by the poor who only focus on whether they will have something to eat tomorrow, or if the parents will earn something assuming they have decent jobs. This is where the role of universities comes into play, according to Fr. Marcelo Manimtim, CM. It was only fitting that those who were in front of him listening – alumni who are mass communicators and media practitioners out of Adamson University on June 3, 2023 – be reminded of this crucial role.
The alumni group led by its newly elected president, GMA Interactive News senior admin specialist Teejay Pusong, joined the call of duty of the university, especially in the matter of making people understand that there is still hope for poor people to get out of poverty, that there are individuals and institutions representing them in the matter of good governance, who are fighting for a better future for their children in the field of truth-telling, raising awareness not to follow wrong practices of some public and private institutions, and setting a good example of more decent and more disciplined citizens. In this mobilization of active alumni, said Fr. Manimtim, trust in the government can be restored, private citizens can equally be trusted as they care for disadvantaged members of society (hindi nanggugulang or not taking advantage), and there will be more meaningful and sustainable projects such as scholarship grants, improvement of curricular programs, support for student-athletes, building more classrooms and laboratories complete with equipment, etc.
The role of universities is substantial, according to the Adamson president. In his conversation with those who attended the homecoming of mass communicators and media practitioners, he felt that something could be done to correct the narratives of poverty, development, and good governance. Correct narratives will awaken people’s senses that there is truth in every story, and that is when solutions to society’s problems will begin to be formulated. This should be highlighted on Twitter and other platforms, according to Fr. Manimtim, who was deeply aware of the social media problem that can destroy the nation’s moral fiber if fake news and lies are neglected and not fought. “What is essential with what has happened on Twitter,” he said, “was that (it) not only tells us what is happening, but what people say about what is happening.”
There are mga pantas from universities (mga pamantasan, the root word of which is pantas) so that people will not be fooled. There are mga pantas (not necessarily experts based on 1 Kings 4:30; Matthew 2:1; Job 34:2) who prioritize the welfare of others, instead of themselves, because they have been blessed with resources and wisdom and it is time to just give back to the community, according to the president of Adamson.
Pusong and his fellow officers who are active in media and mass communication, with the guidance of the university’s Office for Institutional Advancement, the Communication Department, and the Adamson University Alumni Association, Inc., responded to the tough challenges of the new organization. Although most of the practitioners were young, they were also enlivened by the presence of big names in radio, TV, newspapers, independent journalism, film, and media companies. Their big ideas mattered to the young practitioners, too, including valuable industry lessons (and life lessons to boot) from Manila Broadcasting Company managing director Ed Montilla.
Communicators and media practitioners may help universities realize their university social responsibility (USC) undertakings, or they may simply conduct webinars and conferences about journalists’ creeds, battling fake news, fact-checking, among others.
There is a growing call for universities, scholars, and other stakeholders to become more active because otherwise, online and face-to-face evil will spread. And as painful as it is to accept, we already know what follows learning crises in the world: stupidity and defending it without realizing it.
At 8:00 in the evening, the guests bade goodbye while Dinah and my kids took care of all the wedding gifts to be sent home. We spent our first night in an air-conditioned suite of Tierra de Oro, courtesy of Atty. Marius Zabat and wife Mila, the owner of the place. If you think something epic happened on that “first night”, you are all wrong. My grandchild Cyrenne slept between us while my kids occupied the adjacent room.
Having been a widow for twelve (12) long years with only my kids around the house, the days that followed after the wedding were a total paradigm shift. I had to make major adjustments at home and at the office. Every once in a while, we would visit Romy’s kids in their house at ADB Subdivision at Brgy. Del Remedio in San Pablo City to check their activities and whereabouts. Sometimes, we would spend a day or two in that place.
Romy’s family was and still is a closely-knitted family. They are all Christians who spend Sundays and other religious holidays at the Church of Christ, a practice totally opposed to ours because we would rather pray and do bible studies at home rather than go somewhere else. I am not a religious person but I swear I am a great believer of God.
When we got married, Romy’s only son Engr. Ronel, his wife Dr. Floricel Orillaza Belen and their only child then, Lorraine Grace had already migrated to Dubai, United Arab Emirates. He was followed by Ruth, a Registered Nurse and Roreen who was admitted to Mashreq Bank Al Quoz, also in Dubai. Rona, the eldest and Raquel, the youngest were temporarily left behind for some unfinished business. They later followed leaving Rona’s children, Dindin and Francis, to the care of their Lolo Romy. Dindin was in high school while Francis was in Grade school.
There were sleepless nights especially when Dindin was out of the house attending some school parties, and church activities. There was an incident when I drove at midnight looking for her because she was neither in the Church in Alaminos, Laguna nor in the school. Upon inquiries from her churchmates, we found her in a secluded Barangay in Sto. Tomas, Batangas with a female friend. One time, we also fetched her late at night at Brgy. Sto.Nino in San Pablo. During those bumpy days in our marriage, Romy who was a doting grandfather would simply utter a joke in jest, “Nabawasan ako ng isang basong dugo.” When Dindin graduated from high school at Laguna College, she also went to Dubai to pursue further studies. She later finished college and worked at the Emirates airline, one of the two flag carriers of the United Arab Emirates wholly owned by Investment Corporation of Dubai. Francis was left to the care of his Lolo but would also travel alone to Dubai during vacation and long holidays. He was thoughtful, loving, kind and sweet to both of us – no wonder, he was secretly Lolo’s favorite!
ROSARIO, CAVITE. Isinagawa ng mga awtoridad ang isang matagumpay na drug bust operation kahapon ng gabi sa Brgy. Tejero, bayan ng Rosario, kung saan nadakip ang dalawang hinihinalang malalaking pusher at dealer ng shabu. Sa operasyon, nakumpiska ng pulisya ang mahigit sa 500 gramo ng shabu na nagkakahalaga ng P3.4 milyon.
Kinilala ni Pol Col. Christopher Olazo, director ng Cavite Provincial Police Office, ang mga suspek na sina Basit Dimasira Mamacol alyas “Mosib,” 42 taong gulang, ng Brgy. Tejeros Convention, at Sandy Jailani Rabalon, 43 taong gulang, ng Brgy. Silangan 1, pawang residente ng Rosario, Cavite. Sila ay itinuturing na mga high-value target ng pulisya sa nasabing lugar.
Ayon kay Olazo, nagsanib ang mga puwersa ng PDEA RO IV-A RSET 2, RSET 1, Cavite Police Office, at Rosario MPS upang isagawa ang malaking buy-bust operation. Ang nasabing operasyon ay naganap bandang alas-6:40 ng gabi sa New Market Road, Brgy. Tejero, Rosario, Cavite.
Bago isagawa ang buy-bust, nagkaroon ng ilang araw na pagmamanman ang grupo sa mga suspek. Matapos kumpirmahin na sangkot sila sa ilegal na gawain, inilatag ang buy-bust operation.
Sa pag-aresto sa mga suspek, nakumpiska mula sa kanila ang higit sa 500 gramo ng shabu na nagkakahalaga ng P3,450,000, kasama ang mga drug paraphernalia.
Nakatuon ang mga awtoridad sa patuloy na paglaban sa iligal na droga upang panatilihing ligtas at payapa ang komunidad. Ang matagumpay na operasyong ito ay patunay na hindi titigil pulisya sa kanilang misyon na sugpuin ang paglaganap ng ilegal na droga sa lalawigan ng Cavite, diin ni Olazo.
ROME. Pope Francis is going to the hospital Wednesday for abdominal surgery to treat an intestinal blockage, two years after he had 33 centimeters (13 inches) of his colon removed because of an inflammation and narrowing of the large intestine.
The Vatican said Francis, 86, would be put under general anesthesia and would be hospitalized at Rome’s Gemelli hospital for several days.
The pope was undergoing what the Vatican said was a “laparotomy and abdominal wall plastic surgery with prosthesis” to treat a “recurrent, painful and worsening” constriction of the intestine.
A laparotomy is open abdominal surgery. It can help a surgeon both diagnose and treat issues. The statement said Francis was suffering from a blocked laparocele, which is a hernia that formed over a previous scar.
“The stay at the health facility will last several days to allow for the normal post-operative course and full functional recovery,” the statement said.
In July 2021, Francis spent 10 days at Gemelli to remove 33 centimeters (13 inches) of his large intestine. He had suffered what the Vatican said was a severe inflammation and narrowing of the colon. In an interview with The Associated Press in January, Francis said the diverticulosis, or bulges in his intestinal wall, that prompted the 2021 surgery, had returned.
Francis had come out of the 2021 surgery saying he could eat whatever he wanted, but he lamented that he hadn’t responded well to the general anesthetic used in the longer-than-expected procedure. That reaction in part explained his refusal to have surgery to repair strained knee ligaments that have forced him to use a wheelchair and walker for over a year.
The fact that he is going back for surgery suggests he had little choice but to treat the intestinal issue, especially given the rigorous upcoming travel schedule this summer.
The Argentine pope had part of one lung removed when he was a young man. He also suffers from sciatica nerve pain.
Francis initially went to the Gemelli on Tuesday for what the Vatican said were medical tests. It revealed no details at the time.
The 86-year-old had appeared in good form Wednesday morning at his audience in St. Peter’s Square, zipping around the square in his popemobile greeting the faithful. He also had two meetings beforehand, the Vatican said.
Francis has had a packed schedule of late, with multiple audiences each day. The Vatican has recently confirmed a travel-filled August, when the Holy See and Italy are usually on vacation, with a four-day visit to Portugal the first week of August and a similarly long trip to Mongolia starting Aug. 31.
In a sign that the trips were very much on, the Vatican on Tuesday released the planned itinerary for Francis’ visit to Portugal for World Youth Day events from Aug. 2-6. The itinerary confirms a typically busy schedule that includes all the protocol meetings of an official state visit plus multiple events with young people and a day trip to the Marian shrine at Fatima.
LUCENA CITY. Ipinahayag kamakailan ang pagiging “insurgency free” ng tatlong pang bayan sa lalawigan ng Quezon bilang tugon sa malawakang hangarin para sa kapayapaan at kaayusan.
Sa isang seremonya na ginanap sa mga bayan ng Candelaria, Calauag, at Tiaong, pinirmahan ang Memorandum of Understanding na nagdedeklara sa mga nabanggit na bayan bilang mga “Stable Internal Peace and Security” (SIPS) na mga munisipalidad.
Ang patuloy na paglakas ng koordinasyon at pagtutulungan ng Quezon Police Provincial Office (QPPO) at 85th IB, Philippine Army sa pamamagitan ng kanilang Joint Intelligence Assessment ang nagsilbing pundasyon ng naturang deklarasyon.
Batay sa mga pag-aaral at pagsasaliksik, natuklasan na ang mga nasabing bayan ay ligtas na mula sa pagkilos at presensya ng New People’s Army (NPA). Sa kasalukuyan, ang lokal na pamahalaan at Municipal Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict ay may kakayahang pangasiwaan ang mga operasyong pangseguridad sa mga nasabing lugar.
Sa kasalukuyan, 36 na bayan at 2 lungsod na sa buong lalawigan ng Quezon ang naideklarang “insurgency free.” Tatlo na lamang ang natitirang mga bayan na kasalukuyang isinasailalim sa proseso ng validation, at inaasahang makumpleto ang kabuuang 41 na deklarasyon sa darating na mga araw.
Ang pagiging “insurgency free” ay isang mahalagang tagumpay para sa lalawigan ng Quezon, na patuloy na naglalayong palakasin ang seguridad at kaayusan sa rehiyon. Ito ay nagbibigay-daan sa mga residente ng mga bayang ito na mamuhay nang mapayapa at tuluyan nang makapagsagawa ng mga gawain na naglalayong mapabuti ang pamumuhay at pangkabuhayan ng mga komunidad ayon kina Quezon Police Provincial Office (QPPO) director PCol. Ledon Monte at Col. Joel Jonson, commanding officer ng 85th IB, Philippine Army.
Ang pagkakaroon ng mga “insurgency free” na bayan ay nagpapakita ng determinasyon at matagumpay na pagsisikap ng pamahalaan at mga kawani ng batas na labanan ang rebelyon at magtaguyod ng kapayapaan. Ito rin ay nagpapakita ng malasakit at pagmamahal ng lokal na pamahalaan sa kanilang mga nasasakupan, dagdag pa nila.
Sa kabuuan, ang deklarasyon ng tatlong pang bayan na “insurgency free” sa lalawigan ng Quezon ay nagbibigay-daan sa isang mas tahimik, ligtas, at progresibong komunidad. Ito rin ay isang hamon para sa iba pang mga bayan na magsilbing inspirasyon at gawing layunin ang pagtataguyod ng kapayapaan at kaayusan sa kanilang mga sariling lugar.
Canada has included the Philippines in its Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) program granting eligible Filipinos traveling by air for either business or leisure visa-free entry.
“Canada is a destination of choice for so many around the world. We’re making it easier for more people to visit Canada, whether they’re coming to do business, sightsee, or reunite with family and friends,” Canadian Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly said in an Embassy of Canada release Wednesday.
“Expanding the eTA program to include countries like the Philippines is also an important part of our Indo-Pacific Strategy, as we look to further engage in the region, build on people-to-people ties, and make travel to Canada easier, faster, and safer for everyone.”
The Canadian Embassy in Manila said the inclusion is effective immediately and covers Philippine passport holders who have held a Canadian visitor’s visa in the past 10 years or a valid United States non-immigrant visa.
With the inclusion, eligible Filipinos need only to apply for an eTA instead of a visa.
The eTA application through Canada.ca/etA is used by Canadian officials to conduct light-touch and pre-travel screening of air travelers, and costs 7 Canadian dollars or about PHP300.
The embassy said most applications are automatically approved within minutes.
Individuals who already have a valid visa, meanwhile, can continue to use it to travel to Canada.
Those who are not eligible for an eTA, or who are traveling to Canada by means other than air (e.g., by car, bus, train, and boat, including by cruise ship), will still need a visitor visa.
“Introducing visa-free air travel will make it faster, easier, and more affordable for thousands of known travelers from the Philippines to visit Canada for up to six months for either business or leisure,” the Canadian Embassy said. “It will also help facilitate more travel, tourism, and international business between our countries, and help strengthen people-to-people and cultural ties.”
Canada’s decision complements its existing mobility measures for the Philippines, including the country’s membership in Canada’s Transit Without Visa program, which allows eligible Filipino nationals to fly through Canada on their way to or from the US without a Canadian visa, as well as the Student Direct Stream, which offers expedited study permit processing to those who are applying to study in Canada.
Foreign Affairs Secretary Enrique Manalo welcomed the inclusion and described it as a “milestone and a striking indication of Canada’s growing friendship and trust in the Philippines” and the importance it attaches to the Filipino community.
“The Philippines considers Canada as a close partner due to its well-established people-to-people ties and looks forward to charting a new era of engagement under this new policy,” Manalo said.
The latest move from Canada came following Manalo and Joly’s meeting in May in Makati City.
During the visit, Manalo and Joly agreed to elevate existing bilateral cooperation across socio-economic, political and security sectors and launch new initiatives, focused specifically on climate action and climate transition financing.
The Philippines is among 13 countries added to the eTA, along with Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Costa Rica, Morocco, Panama, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Seychelles, Thailand, Trinidad and Tobago, and Uruguay.
Over the past 10 years, Canada issued 466,936 temporary resident visas to Philippine citizens.
These individuals, along with current US non-immigrant visa holders, may now be eligible for visa-free travel, said the embassy.
