Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, December 4) — A party-list lawmaker has filed a resolution urging the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) to suspend the operations of Sonshine Media Network Inc.

The Misplaced Power of Congress: Detaining Ka Eric and Violating Constitutional Rights In a recent and alarming turn of events, the Congress has wielded its power inappropriately by citing Ka Eric in contempt and detaining him for refusing to disclose his source of information, which is explicitly protected in the constitution. This incident has unquestionably raised concerns about the overreach of Congress, transforming it into a tool for political persecution rather than serving as a trusted institution of democracy. The action taken by Congress is not only unjust but also undermines the fundamental principles of freedom of the press and the right to privacy. The constitution clearly safeguards the right of individuals to protect...

E very time we write a story about EDSA Busway violators, there’s always the nagging thought that the penalties for driving illegally in the bus lane should be higher—because P1,000 per apprehension won’t be enough to deter repeat offenders with deep pockets, anyway. Well, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), via MMDA Regulation No. 23-002, has now increased the fines for EDSA Bus Carousel violators, whether they’re in public or private vehicles. Check them out below: Increased fines for EDSA Busway violators First offense – P5,000 Second offense – P10,000, plus one-month suspension of driver’s license and mandatory road safety seminar Third offense – P20,000, plus one-year suspension of driver’s license Fourth...

MANILA, Philippines — Seventeen Filipino seafarers were among the individuals taken hostage after Yemen’s Houthi rebels seized an Israeli-linked cargo ship in the Red Sea, the Department of Foreign Affairs said Wednesday. Houthi rebels captured the cargo vessel Galaxy Leader and held hostage its 25 international crew, including 17 Filipinos, Foreign Affairs Undersecretary Eduardo de Vega said in an interview with GMA News. De Vega said the government is concerned because the incident is connected to Israel's war against Hamas. The Iran-backed Houthi fighters said the capture was in retaliation for the Israel-Hamas war. The Bahamas-flagged, British-owned Galaxy Leader is operated by a Japanese firm but has links to Israeli...

Agila: The First Satellite Dedicated to the Philippines The Philippines is a country that consists of more than 7,000 islands, making it challenging to provide internet connectivity and other telecommunication services to its people. To address this problem, the Philippines has launched and acquired several satellites over the years, the first of which was Agila. What is Agila? Agila is the name given to two satellites that were owned and operated by the Philippine company Mabuhay Satellite Corporation, a subsidiary of PLDT. The name Agila means "eagle" in Filipino, and is also the local name for the Philippine eagle, the national bird of the country. The first Agila satellite, Agila-1, was acquired by Mabuhay in 1996 from PT...

Price cap on rice only 'temporary', NEDA says after stakeholders air concern Job Manahan, ABS-CBN News MANILA — The National Economic Development Authority (NEDA) on Sunday sought to allay stakeholders' concerns on the rice price ceiling, which it said was only temporary. President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. set the price cap for regular milled rice at P41 per kilo and for well-milled rice at P45 a kilo. This will take effect on September 5, the Palace said. NEDA Secretary Arsenio Balisacan said Marcos' executive order on the price ceiling was not a standalone measure to lower rice prices. “We are confident that the imposition of a price ceiling is only a temporary measure. We expect rice harvest to commence soon and anticipate that...

MANILA, Philippines — Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla on Wednesday said they are studying the call of the Makabayan bloc at the House of Representatives to allow the International Criminal Court (ICC) to enter the country and investigate former President Rodrigo Duterte.

World on the brink: How three conflicts could spark a global war. The world is facing a dangerous period of escalating tensions and potential conflicts that could trigger a third world war, experts warn. Three flashpoints in particular pose a high risk of sparking a major confrontation between the major powers: the ongoing invasion of Ukraine by Russia, the nuclear standoff between Israel and Iran, and the rising tensions over Taiwan between China and the US. The invasion of Ukraine by Russia, which began in late January 2023, has been described as "roughly equivalent to the Korean War during the first Cold War, revealing an ideological as well as geopolitical division between the countries of the 'Rimland' (the Anglosphere, western...

Why not just the Philippine navy or coast guard ships do the resupply mission in brp sierra madre instead of those small boat they're currently using? According to the news articles I found, the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) maintains the need to deploy small boats in the resupply mission to BRP Sierra Madre so as not to provoke China or any other claimant countries in the West Philippine Sea. The PCG also said that there is a special arrangement for the delivery of humanitarian supplies, but not for the transportation of large-scale building materials. The PCG has recently deployed its biggest multi-role response vessel, the BRP Gabriela Silang, for the resupply mission, but it still relied on smaller boats to transfer the supplies to...

Founder Leif K-Brooks made the announcement on Thursday along with a lengthy explanation about the "barrage of attacks on communication services, Omegle included, based on the behavior of a malicious subset of users." "As much as I wish circumstances were different, the stress and expense of this fight – coupled with the existing stress and expense of operating Omegle, and fighting its misuse – are simply too much," he said. "Operating Omegle is no longer sustainable, financially nor psychologically," he added. "Frankly, I don’t want to have a heart attack in my 30s." Omegle shuts down after 14 years
