Former President Rodrigo R. Duterte made a fiery statement on Thursday, branding June 10, 2024, as a day of infamy for members of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KJC) church and all law-abiding citizens.
Marcos and Zelensky are the new war mongrels of the United States.
Ukrainian holdover President Volodymyr Zelensky recently visited Manila to meet Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., personally inviting him to attend the upcoming Ukraine Peace Summit in Switzerland. Incidentally, Ukraine has been under martial law since 2022, and its president is under holdover capacity due to the nonconduct of national elections.
Vice President Sara Z. Duterte didn’t let it pass.
Duterte, in a statement, made a stand a day after more than a hundred forces of the Philippine National Police Special Action Force and Criminal Investigation and Detection Group stormed into several KJC compounds in Davao City, Samal Island, and Sarangani in search of its leader, Pastor Apollo C. Quiboloy.
It was a scene straight out of Martial Law.
Uniformed police officers employing superior force broke into what church members of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ consider hallowed grounds and swarmed all over the place in search of Pastor Apollo Quiboloy, the controversial preacher who enjoys a cult-like following not just in Davao City but even internationally. For one who did his part to campaign for the victory of the so-called UniTeam bannered by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., it was rubbing salt into an open wound.
Long ago, people believed that the heavenly bodies were made up of not only air, water, fire, and earth but also another element, the quintessential or fifth essence. It was believed that if they could somehow isolate this element from the others, it would cure all diseases.
When Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. campaigned for the Philippine presidency in 2022, a key promise was to lower the retail price of rice to P20 per kilo. This promise resonated deeply with the electorate, as rice is a staple in Filipino households, providing a major source of daily carbohydrate intake. At that time, rice prices hovered around 45-50 pesos per kilo, making the pledge for cheaper rice a welcome prospect for a population already battered by inflation.
Exotic and mesmerizing birds face the worst possible future in the Philippines, which is considered a “biodiversity hotspot” by bird conservationists.
A biodiversity hotspot is a biogeographic region that is both a significant reservoir of biodiversity and is threatened with destruction. Over 530 bird species can be found in the country's hotspot – about 185 of these are endemic, and over 60 are threatened.
