Taylor Swift spotted as rumored beau Kelce’s Chiefs play NY Jets
Taylor Swift has remained mum on her rumored relationship with NFL star Travis Kelce, but the pop superstar was on hand again Sunday as Kelce's Kansas City Chiefs took on the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium outside the Big Apple. The 33-year-old "Lavender Haze" singer was spotted, clad in crystal-studded denim shorts and a long-sleeved black shirt, entering the building with actors Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, and Hugh Jackman. She was soon ensconced in a luxury suite, with one social media poster getting a cellphone video of her playfully sticking out her tongue as she was filmed. InStyle reported Swift had been seen dining in New York with Brittany Mahomes, wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, the night before the game. Swift sparked a fan frenzy -- among NFL watchers and her own legion of "Swifties" -- when she attended the Chiefs' home game against the Chicago Bears last weekend, sitting in a luxury box alongside Kelce's mother, Donna. The 12-time Grammy winner, sporting a red and white Chiefs jacket, was treated to a 41-10 Chiefs romp and cheered wildly when Kelce, a two-time Super Bowl winner and one of the top tight ends in the league, caught a three-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Kelce himself said in his New Heights podcast on Wednesday that he "sure as hell enjoyed" the weekend. "Shout out to Taylor for pulling up. That was pretty ballsy," said Kelce, who was cagey about the exact nature of their relationship. "I know I brought all this attention to me," the podcast regular said. "I want to respect both of our lives." Swift's interest, however, has made Kelce the focus of a whole new set of fans. After a report Tuesday citing merchandise company Fanatics that his jersey sales had climbed more than 400 percent, Kelce said: "Sounds like the Swifties are also part of Chiefs Kingdom." The NFL, no strangers to celebrity spectacle, was quick to the buzz brought by Swift, posting plenty of pictures of Swift and friends as they enjoyed the Chiefs-Jets Game, which occupied the coveted "Sunday Night Football" slot. Broadcaster NBC was also on the bandwagon, airing a Swift-themed ad for the game that used Swift's hit song "Welcome to New York." Fans posting on social media platform X were poking fun at NBC early in the game for the numerous shots of Swift and friends watching the game.

‘Extremist’ Trump threatens U.S. democracy, Biden warns
With House Republicans launching an impeachment inquiry against him, United States President Joe Biden went into offensive on Thursday with a chilling warning to Americans planning to elect Donald Trump in next year’s presidential election. In a speech in the battleground state of Arizona Thursday, the 80-year-old Biden accused the Republican primary frontrunner and his followers of attacking the free press and the rule of law, and planning to gut US institutions if he wins a second term. “Trump says the constitution gave him ‘the right to do what he wants’,” Biden said, referring to statements by Trump about how he saw his powers in office. “I’ve never even heard a president say that in jest — not guided by the constitution or by common service and decency towards our fellow Americans, but by vengeance and vindictiveness.” The reelectionist president rallied Americans who are silent to stand up for democracy before it was too late. Biden also turned the table on Trump for the former president’s remark that US soldiers captured or killed in action as “suckers and losers.” “Was he a sucker for volunteering to serve his country?” Biden asked, referring to his son Beau, who served in Iraq and died of brain cancer in 2015 aged 46, and the late Arizona senator and Vietnam war hero John McCain. Biden and Trump were in early campaign mode this week with both men visiting the swing state of Michigan to speak to auto workers. Conservatives have accused Biden of trading on the power of his office when he was vice president under Barack Obama to help his younger son Hunter secure lucrative foreign business deals, and of benefiting personally from alleged corruption. Democrats have dismissed the hearings as a stunt but they will add to the pressure on Biden as he battles poor approval ratings and polls showing him neck-and-neck with Trump.

Pero at the end of the day, I value the time that I’ve had with this person. Lahat naman po ng may malaking naiambag sa buhay ko, hindi ko makakalimutan, and what’s beautiful din po is that we still have a good talking relationship. We have businesses that we built together. And despite not going that way, I really still wish him the best and he wishes me the best as well."

Pialago sends, urges more help for Egay-hit Cagayan
Former Metropolitan Manila Development Authority spokesperson Celine Pialago has sent much-needed assistance to Cagayan residents affected by Super Typhoon “Egay.” In a Facebook post, Pialago thanked Kevin Yao, president and CEO of Autokid, for donating 100 boxes of sardines and 100 sacks of rice for the people of Cagayan. “I am very grateful to my friends for supporting my advocacy of helping Filipinos during calamities. Mr. Yao was very generous for providing more relief goods for the people of Cagayan devastated by the super typhoon,” said Pialago. She added that she has come to realize that even outside of government, anyone can help people in need especially during calamities. The important thing, the beau of Vice Governor Melvin "Boy" Vargas Jr. said, is the desire and will to help. Pialago added that she had been stricken with what the province has to offer. “Cagayan is a very beautiful place. I have fallen in love with it and its people,” Pialago said. She pressed more people to help the people of Cagayan and other areas badly hit by the super typhoon. “I am urging others to step up and help our kababayans in need. They badly need us now and together we can weather this storm," she said in a mix of English and Filipino. On 25 July, state weather bureau Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration hoisted Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 4 over the northeastern portion of mainland Cagayan due to Egay. Aside from serving with the MMDA during the Duterte administration, Pialago also served as one of the spokespersons of the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict. Pialago was also the founder of the Malasakit Movement, which performed several charitable works before, during, and after the Covid-19 pandemic.
