President Ferdinand Marcos blinked first in the fierce eyeball-to-eyeball confrontation with Vice President Sara Duterte when he pulled the plug on one of the most divisive issues today.

Less than a week after he declared that he would not be “moved” (di patitinag), BBM retreated with a message to Congress to halt the impeachment moves against Vice President Inday.

The Molbog indigenous peoples of Balabac, Palawan strongly denounced the SAMBILOG-Balik Bugsuk Movement for misrepresenting themselves as legitimate indigenous claimants to the lands of Bugsuk and Mariahangin.

In a joint statement issued by the Indigenous Peoples Mandatory Representatives (IPMRs) of Balabac and its barangays, the Molbog leaders asserted their rightful place as the ancestral custodians of these territories while exposing the group’s questionable origins and motives.  

The sanctity of confidential and intelligence funds (CIF) is paramount for any government aiming to safeguard its security and sovereignty, both on a national and international scale. These funds act as the silent backbone of state security operations, allowing intelligence agencies and security forces to preempt, counter, and neutralize threats that could destabilize the nation.

Without these funds, governments lose their ability to maneuver discreetly and effectively in the face of emerging challenges.
