Someone asked me about the Love Negros (LN) and United Negros Alliance (UNegA) coalition. According to him, does it follow that there'd be an absence of contest in the coming 2022 elections at the local level? I replied ...

THE death of Ruben Ecleo Jr. following cardiopulmonary arrest on May 13 is anticlimactic for the Filipinos who remember Alona Bacolod-Ecleo, Arbeth Sta. Ana-Yongco and the hapless Bacolod family.

Ecleo Jr. was the supreme master of the Philippine Benevolent Missionaries Association (PBMA), a religious organization started by his father Ruben Sr. He was incarcerated at the New Bilibid Prison for a graft conviction passed by the Sandiganbayan in 2006.

Some broadsheets and news websites reported Ecleo Jr. as another prominent, even controversial public figure whose death occurred in the midst of the pandemic. The Bureau of Corrections disclosed that ...

It is still five months and half before the filing of the certificate of candidacy starts in October for the May 2022 national and local elections. But some politicians seeking local posts seem already in the campaign trail. Despite the Covid-19 pandemic, some aspirants are already conducting "pulong-pulongs" (dialogue/interactions) with voters in the barangay levels. Some are visiting the barangays for consultation with barangay officials in the guise of looking into their basic problems. This is evidenced in their social media posts.

We welcome the decision of the Davao del Norte provincial prosecutor in ordering the release and dismissal of charges filed against the Lumad Bakwit School 7 who were arrested and detained following a police raid of the Lumad sanctuary at the University of San Carlos, Talamban campus in Cebu last February.

According to Davao del Norte Provincial Prosecutor Norman Solis, the charges lacked evidence and there's no probable cause for further detaining them.

This development is proof of the innocence of the arrested individuals from the baseless allegations and red-tagging being peddled by the Duterte administration. In fact, the ...

The Lumad 7, including volunteer teacher Chad Booc, were released on May 13, 2021 after three months of illegal detention under police custody. The Provincial Prosecutor's Office of Davao del Norte found insufficient evidence, lack of probable cause and lack of territorial jurisdiction on the charges filed against them.

The dismissal of the trumped-up charges and the release of the Lumad 7 from illegal detention by the police are victories of the people, particularly of the Lumad in their struggle for the right to education and self-determination. We laud the Lumad students and their teachers for remaining steadfast in ...

I think almost every basketball fan in the country was elated when Thirdy Ravena got signed to a multi-year deal by San-En NeoPhoenix in the Japan B-League.

A Pinoy doing well in the B-League may prod other teams to look for other Pinoy players since the league now has an Asian player quota. A lot of Azkals have signed up for clubs in the Asean leagues, thanks to a similar rule, so Pinoy hoops fans are not wrong to expect that perhaps Thirdy will be the first of many.
