Much better deal than Cha-cha

The successful conduct and outcome of the public bidding for the privatization and rehabilitation of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) could be the best argument to reject Charter change (Cha-cha). If only to lift the purported restrictive provisions of the 1987 Constitution as the casus belli for Cha-cha, the just concluded competitive public bidding to privatize NAIA gives impetus to our homegrown businessmen with foreign investors/partners to have the bold confidence on the Philippine economy.

Political drama in the Philippines

There is nothing inauspicious if presidential sister Senator Imee Marcos decided to run as “independent” in her re-election bid in the coming May 2025 national and local polls. For her second term bid in the Senate, Imee was included in the 12-man Senate slate of the administration’s “Alyansa Para sa Bagong Pilipinas” banner. Last Thursday (Sept. 26), President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. (PBBM) raised the hands of the Alyansa senatoriables, except Sen. Imee, who was conspicuously absent from the proclamation rally held at neutral grounds in Pasay City.

All the president’s women

Public confessions dished out right in the halls of Congress as testimonies made under oath – even from self-proclaimed whistleblowers brought out of their jail cells – have been hogging the headlines. Adding to these scandalous revelations was information culled from unfiltered sources in media interviews.

The ‘red flags’ vs POGOs

Since the declared banning of Philippine offshore gaming operator (POGO) firms in the country to be effective by the end of this year, residents of Multinational Village in Parañaque City were among those who rejoiced at this official announcement by the government. The official policy to ban POGOs was declared by no less than President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. (PBBM). In fact, it was roundly applauded during his third State of the Nation Address (SONA) at the joint opening session of the 19th Congress in late July.

AI as just ‘another Indian’

Whew! It’s been a mental overload of data and knowledge to process and absorb on the “best practices” in protecting the truth coming out in the age of generative artificial information. This we got from the just concluded Information Integrity Forum 2024 held in Sydney. The University of Technology Sydney (UTS) and the Centre for Media Transition (CMT) organized the two-day forum. This year’s forum brought together four senior editors/journalists from each of the four invited countries, namely, India, Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines.

Vietnam filed on July 18 a claim with the United Nations (UN) for an extended continental shelf (ECS) in the South China Sea. Actually, Vietnam was just following the lead taken a month ago by the Philippines, which first initiated this. The Vietnamese Foreign Ministry announced their submission that seeks also to reaffirm Vietnam’s sovereign claims over the Hoang Sa (Paracel) and Truong Sa (Spratly) archipelagos spread out in the South China Sea (SCS).

At least 19 police station commanders in Davao City have been relieved from their posts. Their relief from posts was ordered by Southern Mindanao regional police office chief Brig. Gen. Nicolas Torre. The latest rigodon obviously had the imprimatur of the national headquarters of the Philippine National Police (PNP). The latest mass relief of police station chiefs in Davao City happened again at the home residence of former president Rodrigo Duterte.

Send us peacemakers

Over the weekend, an unsigned manifesto supposedly issued by un-named “active members of the Armed Forces of the Philippines” (AFP)” was sent to the chat group of reporters covering the Department of National Defense (DND). It was purportedly an open letter to President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. (PBBM) to “vehemently seek the earnest attention of our Commander-in-chief.” As casus belli, they denounced DND Secretary Gilberto “Gibo” Teodoro Jr. whom they blamed for the June 17 incident at the Ayungin Shoal in the West Philippine Sea (WPS).
