MAYNILA. Isang barko na pinamumunuan ng 20 Filipino seafarers, kabilang ang kapitan, ang naharang sa South Korea matapos matagpuan dito ang tone-toneladang hinihinalang cocaine — isa umanong pinakamalaking drug haul sa kasaysayan ng bansa, ayon sa Department of Migrant Workers (DMW).
Sa pahayag ni DMW Secretary Hans Leo Cacdac nitong Martes, inihayag niyang patuloy pa ring iniimbestigahan ng mga awtoridad ang antas ng pagkakasangkot ng mga Pinoy crew members. “Iniimbestigahan pa kung meron pang ibang kasama o sangkot na tripulante at kung ano ang naging role nila sa insidente,” ani Cacdac.
Ayon sa ulat, natagpuan ng South Korean authorities ang mahigit 50 kahon ng umano’y cocaine na tumitimbang ng tinatayang dalawang tonelada, nakatago sa isang compartment sa engine room ng cargo vessel na M/V Lunita.
Nagmula ang impormasyon ukol sa kontrabando mula sa US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) at Homeland Security Investigations, dahilan para bantayan ang pagdating ng barko sa South Korea.
Ang M/V Lunita, na may Norwegian flag, ay nagmula sa Mexico at dumaan sa mga bansang Ecuador, Panama, at China, bago ito dumaong sa South Korea.
Kinumpirma naman ng J.J. Ugland Companies, ang shipping company na may-ari ng barko, na mga Pilipino ang bumubuo ng crew. Sa kanilang pahayag, sinabi ng kompanya:
“It is unclear how the drugs came aboard our vessel. We are working with relevant authorities to assist in the investigation, both in South Korea and in other affected jurisdictions.”
Sa kasalukuyan, mayroong abogado mula sa shipowner na nagbibigay ng legal assistance sa mga tripulante. Ngunit ayon kay Cacdac, magpapadala rin ang gobyerno ng Pilipinas ng sarili nitong abogado sa loob ng dalawang linggo upang matiyak ang proteksyon ng karapatan ng mga crew.
Nakikipag-ugnayan na rin ang DMW sa mga pamilya ng mga tripulante para sa kaukulang suporta at impormasyon.
Patuloy pa ang imbestigasyon habang nakatutok ang mga international at lokal na awtoridad sa isa na namang kontrobersyal na kaso ng drug trafficking sa karagatan.
SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic. A festive night turned into horror when the roof of the iconic Jet Set nightclub in the Dominican capital collapsed early Tuesday during a merengue concert, killing at least 66 people and injuring more than 160, according to authorities.
The disaster occurred just before 1:00 a.m. at the one-story venue packed with attendees, including politicians, athletes, and music fans. Juan Manuel Méndez, director of the Center of Emergency Operations, confirmed the rising death toll and said rescue crews worked through the day searching for survivors.
“We presume that many of them are still alive, and that is why the authorities here will not give up until not a single person remains under that rubble,” Méndez said.
More than 12 hours after the collapse, rescuers were still combing through the debris, using drills, saws, and makeshift wooden planks to reach people trapped beneath the wreckage.
Politicians and Celebrities Among the Victims
Among the deceased was Nelsy Cruz, governor of the northwestern province of Montecristi and sister of Major League Baseball star Nelson Cruz. According to First Lady Raquel Abraje, Nelsy Cruz called President Luis Abinader at 12:49 a.m., saying she was trapped and the roof had collapsed. She was later pronounced dead at the hospital.
“This is too great a tragedy,” said Abraje, her voice breaking during a press briefing.
The Professional Baseball League of the Dominican Republic confirmed the deaths of two prominent athletes: Octavio Dotel, a 51-year-old former MLB pitcher, and Tony Enrique Blanco Cabrera, a Dominican baseball player. League spokesman Satosky Terrero said both were inside the club when it collapsed.
Bray Vargas, a national lawmaker, was among those injured.
Merengue Star Missing, Band Member Killed
Merengue singer Rubby Pérez, who was performing when the roof caved in, was initially thought to have survived. But later on Tuesday, Méndez said that rescue crews were still searching for him.
Pérez’s manager, Enrique Paulino, who emerged bloodied from the scene, said the show started shortly before midnight. The collapse occurred nearly an hour later, killing the band’s saxophonist.
“It happened so quickly. I managed to throw myself into a corner,” Paulino recalled. “At first, I thought it was an earthquake.”
Cause of Collapse Still Unknown
Authorities have not yet determined what caused the collapse or when the building was last inspected. The nightclub issued a statement expressing its condolences and cooperation with investigators. The club’s owner, Antonio Espaillat, who was abroad at the time, returned to the country Tuesday night.
“There are no words to express the pain this event has caused. What happened has been devastating for everyone,” Espaillat said.
A Nation in Mourning
As the search continued, a makeshift morgue was set up near the nightclub, and more than 120 people lined up at various blood banks to donate. Officials at hospitals read aloud the names of survivors to anxious crowds gathered outside, while loved ones waited at the National Institute of Forensic Pathology to identify the dead.
Manuel Olivo Ortiz, whose son attended the concert, stood outside the club in anguish: “We’re holding on only to God,” he said.
Massiel Cuevas, godmother of 22-year-old Darlenys Batista, expressed determination: “I’m waiting for her. She’s in there, I know she’s in there.”
Presidential Response
President Luis Abinader visited the site Tuesday afternoon and offered comfort to those awaiting news. “We have faith in God that we will rescue even more people alive,” he told reporters. He also posted on X: “We deeply regret the tragedy that occurred at the Jet Set nightclub. We have been following the incident minute by minute since it occurred.”
As of Tuesday evening, officials said the rescue efforts would continue through the night, with priority given to three key areas where “we’re hearing some sounds,” according to Méndez.

LAGANGILANG, ABRA. Nauwi sa trahedya ang isang campaign sortie sa Barangay Nagtupacan, Lagangilang, Abra nitong Lunes ng gabi, matapos masawi ang dalawang personalidad na kabilang sa magkahiwalay na political groups — isang barangay chairman at isang kandidato sa Sangguniang Bayan.
Kinilala ng pulisya ang mga nasawi na sina Barangay Chairman Lou Salvador Claro, 57-anyos, at SB candidate Manzano Bersalona Agdalpen.
Batay sa imbestigasyon ng Lagangilang Municipal Police Station, bandang alas-6:50 ng gabi ay kasalukuyang nangangampanya si Agdalpen kasama ang kanyang mga kasamahan sa “Team ASENSO” nang bigla niyang suntukin si Rommel Apolinar, na umano’y nakatayo lamang malapit sa kanilang grupo.
Dahil dito, agad na umalis si Apolinar at nagtungo kay Chairman Claro, isang retiradong pulis at kilalang kaalyado ng “Team PROGRESO” nina incumbent Abra Representative Menchie Bernos at gubernatorial bet Eustaquio Bersamin, upang isumbong ang insidente.
Kaagad namang nagtungo si Chairman Claro kasama si Apolinar sa lugar upang “pahupain” ang tensyon, ayon sa ulat ng pulisya. Subalit sa halip na humupa ang gulo, muling sinuntok umano ni Agdalpen si Apolinar sa mukha. Gumanti ng suntok si Apolinar at sa gitna ng komosyon, tinulak umano ni Agdalpen si Chairman Claro na umaawat, at saka ito binaril gamit ang baril na kanyang dala.
Nang tamaan ng bala si Chairman Claro, isang hindi pa nakikilalang suspek ang agad namang bumaril kay Agdalpen.
Mabilis na isinugod si Agdalpen sa Abra Provincial Hospital habang dinala si Chairman Claro sa Seares Hospital sa Bangued. Ngunit parehong idineklara silang dead-on-arrival sa kanilang pagdating sa ospital.
Naging kontrobersyal ang insidente lalo na’t magkalaban sa politika ang mga sangkot. Si Agdalpen ay miyembro ng “Team ASENSO” habang si Chairman Claro ay kaalyado ng “Team PROGRESO”.
Iniulat ng pulisya na may halos isang oras bago naiparating sa kanila ang insidente.
Patuloy ang imbestigasyon ng mga awtoridad upang matukoy ang hindi pa nakikilalang suspek na bumaril kay Agdalpen, at upang alamin kung may kinalaman sa pulitika ang motibo ng pamamaril.
In a groundbreaking development, scientists have successfully helped a woman speak again after 18 years of silence, using an experimental brain-computer interface (BCI) that translates thoughts into spoken words in real time.
The subject of the study, a 47-year-old woman with quadriplegia caused by a stroke, had been unable to speak for nearly two decades. But thanks to a team of researchers in California, she is now regaining her voice, literally. The findings were published Monday in Nature Neuroscience.
The experimental device, implanted during surgery as part of a clinical trial, decodes neural signals in the brain’s speech center and transforms them into verbalized sentences almost instantly.
“It converts her intent to speak into fluent sentences,” said Gopala Anumanchipalli, a co-author of the study and a researcher at the University of California, Berkeley.
Unlike other BCIs that experience delays between thought and speech output, the new system offers near-instantaneous verbalization, an innovation that scientists say significantly enhances the natural flow of conversation.
“This is a pretty big advance in our field,” noted Jonathan Brumberg of the Speech and Applied Neuroscience Lab at the University of Kansas, who was not involved in the study.
To build the system, scientists recorded the woman’s brain activity as she silently attempted to speak specific sentences. Using a set of pre-injury voice recordings, the researchers developed a customized synthesizer to recreate her natural voice. An artificial intelligence model was then trained to translate brain signals into phonemes, basic sound units of speech.
“It’s not waiting for a sentence to finish,” Anumanchipalli explained. “It’s processing it on the fly.” He described it as a “streaming approach,” where each 80-millisecond segment—roughly half a syllable—is immediately fed into a recorder.
The implant is positioned directly on the brain’s speech center, where it continuously picks up neural signals that are decoded and assembled into spoken words. The system functions much like real-time transcription tools used for meetings and phone calls but tailored to the unique neural patterns of the individual.
According to Brumberg, decoding speech at such rapid speeds is essential for preserving the natural rhythm and pace of conversation. The incorporation of voice samples from the individual also enhances the authenticity of the spoken output. “That would be a significant advance in the naturalness of speech,” he said.
The project received partial funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and while recent NIH budget cuts have affected many research initiatives, Anumanchipalli confirmed this study was not among them.
He emphasized that while the device is still in early experimental stages, with “sustained investments,” the technology could be available to patients within a decade.
The success of this clinical trial not only marks a hopeful breakthrough for those suffering from speech loss due to injury or illness, it also opens up transformative possibilities in human communication powered by neuroscience and AI.
GAZA CITY. An Israeli airstrike hit a media tent outside one of Gaza’s largest hospitals overnight, killing a local journalist and at least one other person, and wounding nine others, including six journalists, according to Palestinian medical officials.
The attack occurred near the Al-Shifa and Nasser hospitals, which have become central shelters for thousands of displaced Palestinians amid ongoing bombardment and military operations.
The slain journalist, who was not immediately named, was reporting from the scene when the strike occurred. Palestinian medics said the strike targeted temporary tents where journalists had been staying to cover the escalating violence.
The incident was part of a wider string of Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip overnight that reportedly killed over 30 people, most of them women and children, according to hospital officials.
Israel resumed full-scale military operations in Gaza in March, ending a temporary ceasefire with Hamas. Since then, Israel has halted all food, fuel, and humanitarian aid from entering the territory. Human rights organizations have condemned the blockade, calling it a potential war crime under international law.
Israel has also issued successive displacement orders, forcing hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to flee under the threat of renewed bombardment and ground raids.
According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, Israel’s 18-month military campaign has killed more than 50,000 Palestinians, a majority of them women and children.
Israel maintains that the war will continue until Hamas surrenders its remaining hostages, disarms, and withdraws from Gaza.
NEGROS ISLAND. Isang explosive eruption ang naitala sa Bulkang Kanlaon nitong Martes ng umaga, ayon sa Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS).
Sa isang Facebook post ng ahensya, sinabi nito: “ATM: Explosive eruption at Kanlaon Volcano ongoing. Details to be released.”
Kinumpirma ni Mariton Bornas, hepe ng PHIVOLCS Volcano Monitoring and Eruption Prediction Division, na nagsimula ang pagsabog bandang alas-5:51 ng umaga.
Makapal na usok at abo ang nakita mula sa bunganga ng bulkan, na ayon kay Bornas ay tinangay ng hangin papuntang timog-kanluran.
Nakunan din ng ulat ang pagdaloy ng pyroclastic density currents (PDC) pababa sa katimugang bahagi ng bulkan, mga super-init na gas at abo na maaaring magdulot ng panganib sa mga nasa paligid.
“Humihina na ngayon ang pagputok pero ongoing. Medyo mabagal ‘yung pag-akyat ng plume ngayon,” ani Bornas. “Patuloy ang mabagal na pagbuga ng abo… Binabantayan po natin,” dagdag pa niya.
Bandang 7:02 a.m., naglabas ng update ang PHIVOLCS sa X (dating Twitter) na nagtapos na ang explosive eruption.
“This is a notice for the end of the explosive eruption that began at 5:51 AM today, 8 April 2025,” ayon sa kanilang post.
Bagama’t nagtapos na ang pagputok, nananatili pa rin sa Alert Level 3 ang Kanlaon Volcano batay sa pinakahuling PHIVOLCS bulletin na sumasaklaw mula alas-12 a.m. ng Lunes hanggang alas-12 a.m. ng Martes.
Muling paalala ng PHIVOLCS sa publiko na kailangang lumikas sa loob ng anim na kilometrong radius danger zone, habang mariin namang sinabi ni Bornas na: “Walang dapat na tao sa loob ng four-kilometer radius permanent danger zone.”
Noong Lunes, naitala ang 14 volcanic earthquakes, at pagbuga ng usok na umabot sa 300 metro ang taas, gayundin ang 1,655 toneladang sulfur dioxide emission mula sa bulkan.
Matatandaang matapos ang halos pitong taon ng pananahimik, muling sumabog ang Bulkang Kanlaon noong Hunyo 3, 2024 at Disyembre 9, 2024.
Patuloy na pinag-iingat ng mga awtoridad ang mga residente ng Negros Oriental at Negros Occidental habang bantay-sarado ang kilos ng bulkan.
BATANGAS CITY. Inisyuhan ng show cause order ng Commission on Elections (Comelec) si Vice Mayor Jay Ilagan ng Mataas na Kahoy, Batangas, kaugnay ng kanyang kontrobersyal na pahayag laban kay Vilma Santos, na tumatakbo ring gobernador sa lalawigan.
Ayon sa Comelec, may tatlong araw lamang si Ilagan upang magpaliwanag kung bakit hindi siya dapat patawan ng parusa, kasunod ng kanyang naging pahayag sa isang campaign rally noong Marso 29.
Sa naturang pagtitipon, sinabi umano ni Ilagan:
“Hindi ako natatakot na makalaban si Vilma Santos dahil laos na siya.”
Dagdag pa niya:
“Marami-rami sa mga tagahanga ni Vilma Santos ay namamahinga na at ang iba ay may edad na.”
Ayon sa Comelec, ang mga pahayag na ito ay posibleng lumabag sa Comelec Resolution No. 11116, partikular sa probisyon nito ukol sa Anti-Discrimination and Fair Campaigning. Itinuturing ng komisyon na hindi patas at may bahid ng diskriminasyon ang pagbabanggit ni Ilagan sa edad ng mga tagasuporta ni Santos.
Binigyang-diin ng Comelec na kung mabibigong makapagpaliwanag nang maayos si Ilagan, maaari siyang masampahan ng election offense at posibleng madiskwalipika sa kanyang kandidatura ngayong halalan.
Wala pang opisyal na pahayag mula kay Ilagan hinggil sa isyu. Samantala, nananatiling tahimik din sa ngayon ang kampo ni Vilma Santos.
WASHINGTON. U.S. President Donald Trump has intensified the ongoing global trade war by threatening to impose even steeper tariffs on Chinese imports, sparking a third consecutive day of turmoil in global financial markets and raising recession fears among investors.
Speaking from the White House, Trump defended his sweeping tariff policy which includes a minimum 10% duty on all U.S. imports and targeted rates of up to 50% as necessary to rebuild America’s weakened industrial base.
“It’s the only chance our country will have to reset the table. Because no other president would be willing to do what I’m doing, or to even go through it,” Trump told reporters. “Now, I don’t mind going through it because I see a beautiful picture at the end.”
Hours earlier, Trump warned that he would slap an additional 50% tariff on Chinese imports starting Wednesday unless Beijing rolls back the 34% retaliatory duties it imposed on American goods last week. Those tariffs were in response to Trump’s own 34% “reciprocal” duties.
China quickly rebuked the threat. In a statement, Chinese embassy spokesperson Liu Pengyu called it a “typical move of unilateralism, protectionism and economic bullying.”
“We have stressed more than once that pressuring or threatening China is not a right way to engage with us,” Liu added. “China will firmly safeguard its legitimate rights and interests.”
European Union Joins the Fray
As tensions between Washington and Beijing escalated, the European Commission proposed a 25% counter-tariff on a range of U.S. goods, including soybeans, nuts, and sausages — in retaliation to existing U.S. tariffs on EU metals and autos. A draft list by Reuters showed that certain items like bourbon whiskey were excluded for now.
Despite the growing hostilities, EU Trade Commissioner Maros Sefcovic signaled openness to dialogue:
“Sooner or later, we will sit at the negotiation table with the U.S. and find a mutually acceptable compromise,” Sefcovic said during a press conference, proposing a potential “zero for zero” deal with Washington.
Financial Markets React
The threats of escalating tariffs sent global markets reeling. The S&P 500 closed lower after a volatile session that pushed it to its lowest point in over a year. In Asia, mainland China and Hong Kong stocks plunged, prompting China’s sovereign wealth fund to step in to stabilize the market. Taiwan’s stock index fell nearly 10%, marking its steepest one-day decline in history.
Wall Street executives voiced their alarm. JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon warned of the long-term negative consequences, while hedge fund manager Bill Ackman described the tariff threat as an “economic nuclear winter.”
Even some Trump allies questioned the approach. Elon Musk, a key supporter of government spending cuts, urged for zero tariffs between the U.S. and Europe over the weekend. In response, Trump’s trade adviser, Peter Navarro, dismissed Musk as merely a “car assembler.”
White House Doubles Down
Despite the mounting backlash, Trump’s economic team remained resolute. White House economist Kevin Hassett told Fox News:
“He’s doubling down on something that he knows works, and he’s going to continue to do that. But he is also going to listen to our trading partners, and if they come to us with really great deals that advantage American manufacturing and American farmers, I’m sure he’ll listen.”
Trump also confirmed that his administration would launch trade talks with Japan, a close U.S. ally, while dozens of other countries have reportedly reached out in hopes of being spared from the steep new tariffs due to begin on Wednesday.
As global markets brace for more volatility, the world watches closely to see whether Trump’s high-stakes economic gamble will yield leverage at the negotiating table — or plunge the global economy deeper into uncertainty.
MAYNILA. Nilinaw ng New NAIA Infra Corp. (NNIC) na walang umiiral na travel advisory laban sa Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) mula sa US Department of Homeland Security, matapos kumalat sa social media ang isang larawan ng umano’y security advisory.
Ayon sa NNIC, ang larawang kumalat ay mula sa isang luma at hindi na valid na abiso. Binanggit sa abiso na ang larawan ay isang security advisory na inilabas pa noong Disyembre 2018 at tinanggal na noong Agosto 2019. Aniya, ang abiso ay aksidenteng naibalik ng isang airline at agad na tinanggal mula sa kanilang platform.
Inihayag ng NNIC na nakipag-ugnayan sila sa US Transportation Security Administration (TSA) upang linawin ang usapin, at kinumpirma nila na walang travel advisory na ipinatutupad sa NAIA.
“The advisory shown in the image was issued in December 2018 and was rescinded in August 2019… The image is outdated and was accidentally reposted by an airline. It has already been taken down,” saad sa abiso.
Ayon pa sa NNIC, nagsasagawa ang TSA ng regular na security assessments sa NAIA tuwing anim na buwan. Ang pinakahuling pagsusuri, na ginawa noong Pebrero 2025, ay nagpakita ng mga malaking pagpapabuti sa seguridad ng paliparan at ito rin ang kauna-unahang pagsusuri mula noong 2019 na walang bagong isyu na natuklasan.
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. President Donald Trump has reaffirmed his commitment to imposing sweeping tariffs on imports from across the globe, calling them necessary “medicine” for the U.S. economy despite fears of a looming recession, market turmoil, and international pushback.
Speaking aboard Air Force One on Sunday, Trump made it clear that he has no plans to reverse course. “Sometimes you have to take medicine to fix something,” he told reporters, referencing the economic turbulence triggered by the new trade policy. “I spoke to a lot of leaders, European, Asian, from all over the world. They’re dying to make a deal. And I said, we’re not going to have deficits with your country. We’re not going to do that, because to me a deficit is a loss. We’re going to have surpluses or at worst, going to be breaking even.”
The tariffs, which take effect on Wednesday, have already rattled global markets. On Sunday evening, U.S. stock futures plummeted, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 dropping nearly 4% and the Nasdaq falling nearly 5%. Even bitcoin, previously steady amid volatility, slipped nearly 6%.
Trump posted online, urging Americans to brace themselves: “WE WILL WIN. HANG TOUGH, it won’t be easy.”
The move, announced on April 2, fulfills a long-standing campaign promise and represents a dramatic reshaping of global trade rules. Trump’s administration, without approval from Congress, introduced the tariffs as a tool to force foreign governments to negotiate better terms. According to top officials, over 50 countries have already reached out to initiate talks.
Despite market jitters, Trump’s Cabinet members and senior advisers took to Sunday talk shows to defend the administration’s stance. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent emphasized that the U.S. would be patient: “Unfair trade practices are not the kind of thing you can negotiate away in days or weeks… We must see what the countries offer and whether it’s believable.”
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick was equally firm. “The tariffs are coming. Of course they are,” he said, underscoring that Trump seeks to reset decades of global trade imbalance.
Yet the tariffs are not sparing allies. Israel, a close partner, will face a 17% tariff. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, scheduled to visit Washington this week, is expected to raise the issue in a joint press conference with Trump. Vietnam’s leader, in a phone call with Trump, reportedly expressed willingness to reduce tariffs “to ZERO” if an agreement is reached. Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said she disagreed with the policy but remained “ready to deploy all the tools — negotiating and economic — necessary to support our businesses.”
On Capitol Hill, reactions remain mixed. While many Republicans back the President’s approach, others are alarmed by the sweeping scope and potential fallout. Some lawmakers are proposing a bipartisan bill that would restore Congress’ authority to approve tariffs. Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) said, “We gave some of that power to the executive branch. I think, in hindsight, that was a mistake.”
Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), the second-ranking Senate Republican, noted, “There is concern, and there’s concern across the country. People are watching the markets. There’ll be a discussion in the Senate. We’ll see which way the discussion goes.”
Meanwhile, Tesla CEO and Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency head Elon Musk weighed in during an event in Italy, stating that he preferred a “zero-tariff situation” between the U.S. and Europe. That drew a sharp rebuke from White House trade adviser Peter Navarro: “Elon, when he is on his DOGE lane, is great. But we understand what’s going on here. We just have to understand. Elon sells cars… He’s simply protecting his own interest as any business person would do.”
Trump also seemed to distance himself from Musk’s position, saying, “They [the EU] want to talk, but there’s no talk unless they pay us a lot of money on a yearly basis.”
Former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers criticized the administration for sending mixed signals. “If other countries eliminate their tariffs, and the U.S. does, too, it’s just making a deal, then we don’t raise any revenue nor do we get any businesses to relocate to the United States. … So the president can’t have it both ways,” he said.
As markets brace for further volatility, Trump’s bold tariff gambit is poised to test both the durability of the global trading system and the patience of American voters.
