Public warned anew vs buying raw lots
The Davao City Planning and Development Office (CPDO) and the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) have issued a strong warning against the illegal purchase of raw lots in the city. Buying raw lots can result in financial loss and create complex issues in urban development. Many buyers of raw lots, which are often agricultural lands, discover that they are not allowed to build residential buildings due to zoning policies. The CPDO and DHSUD advise potential buyers to check the policies and regulations implemented by the DHSUD and to consult the Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) or zoning ordinance of Davao City. They also encourage buyers to consider government housing projects for affordable options. Buyers should ensure that sellers provide a license to sell, as transactions without a license are illegal. The DHSUD is monitoring online platforms to apprehend illegal transactions and has identified 88 illegal subdivision developers in the city. Buyers are advised to be discerning and to check with the City Planning and DHSUD before transacting......»»

Tourists evacuate hurricane-hit Acapulco
Airlines began to evacuate tourists from Mexico’s beachside city of Acapulco on Friday after a scale-topping Category 5 hurricane left a trail of destruction and at least 27 people dead, authorities said. “Acapulco airport has already been reopened for an airlift,” Defense Minister Luis Cresencio Sandoval told reporters in Mexico City, adding that the runway had not suffered major damage. Commercial airlines would bring in doctors and fly out tourists and locals, he added. Passengers hauling suitcases arrived at Acapulco International Airport to catch free flights, expressing relief to be alive after Hurricane “Otis” smashed into the city with winds of 270 kilometers per hour. “We’re very happy and content, grateful to be able to continue living our lives” Clara Elena Albo from Mexico City, who was on vacation with her husband, said. The airport buildings and installations appeared to be severely damaged, with broken glass and debris littering the ground. The control tower and navigation systems were severely affected, so flights will be operated visually.

U.S. mass shooter still at large
An urgent police dragnet entered its second day late Thursday for a man accused of gunning down 18 people at a bowling alley and a bar in Maine, United States. Dozens of law enforcement agents surrounded the family home of 40-year-old suspect Robert Card, but by mid-evening agents left the property in Bowdoin, near Lewiston, to hunt for him elsewhere. A wide area around Lewiston remained locked down more than 24 hours after Card allegedly went on a rampage, culminating in the deadliest mass shooting this year in America. Thirteen people were also wounded. Authorities erected roadblocks, ordered schools and businesses closed, and told residents to stay indoors. Governor Janet Mills said the suspect was “considered armed and dangerous, and police advised that Maine people should not approach him under any circumstances.” Card was seen in surveillance footage pointing a semi-automatic rifle as he walked into the Just-in-Time bowling alley on Wednesday. News outlets broadcast footage of people fleeing in terror from the bowling alley after the shooting started Wednesday evening. Card is a member of the US Army Reserve. US media reported that he had recently been sent for psychiatric treatment after he said he was hearing voices. Hundreds of police in military-style camouflage gear and Federal Bureau of Investigation agents flooded the search zone in what Lewiston police chief David St. Pierre called “an all-hands-on-deck approach.” Biden called Maine’s governor to offer federal support, and ordered flags to be lowered to half-staff at the White House and all government buildings.
