Decree dissolves Nagorno-Karabakh statelet by January
The separatist republic of Nagorno-Karabakh in Azerbaijan will cease to exist by 1 January as more than 65,000 people from the Armenian enclave have fled. The separatist leader of Nagorno-Karabakh ordered on Thursday the dissolution of all state institutions by the end of the year, saying the separatist statelet “ceases to exist” from 1 January 2024. An Azerbaijani court then placed Ruben Vardanyan in pre-trial detention after charging him with financing terrorism and other crimes. A Baku court ruled that Vardanyan, a businessman who headed the ethnic Armenian region from November 2022 until February this year, should be arrested and placed in pre-trial detention for four months, Azerbaijan’s state security service said. Meanwhile, Yerevan said Thursday the exodus continued from the breakaway enclave which Azerbaijan recaptured last week in a lighting offensive. By Thursday morning, “65,036 forcefully displaced persons crossed into Armenia from Nagorno-Karabakh,” Armenian government spokesperson, Nazeli Baghdasaryan, said in a statement. Some 120,000 ethnic Armenians were estimated to be living in the territory before Baku’s offensive to retake the territory. “The state is providing suitable housing to all those who do not have a predetermined place of residence,” she said. On Sunday, Azerbaijan reopened the sole road linking Nagorno-Karabakh with Armenia, the Lachin corridor policed by Russian peacekeepers — four days after Armenian separatist forces agreed to lay down arms and disband their army. The return of the Armenian-populated separatist enclave under the control of the central government in Baku has led to a mass exodus of ethnic Armenians. Internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan, Nagorno-Karabakh, which broke away from Baku three decades, was at the center of two wars between mostly Christian Armenia and predominantly Muslim Azerbaijan.

Pandemic era over
The vicious coronavirus-2019 is considered defeated in the country after President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. issued Proclamation 297 lifting the “state of public health emergency.” Malacañang on Saturday said the President issued the proclamation on Friday but it was made public through a statement released by the Presidential Communications Office only on Saturday. The proclamation states that “all prior orders, memoranda, and issuances that were effective only during the State of Public Health Emergency shall be deemed withdrawn, revoked or canceled and shall no longer be in effect.” The directive provides that all emergency use authorizations or EUA issued by the Food and Drug Administration on vaccines shall remain valid for one year from the date of the lifting of the State of Public Health Emergency “for the sole purpose of exhausting the remaining supply of vaccines.” Go pleads for health workers For his part, Senator Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go said: “We respect the President’s decision to lift the state of public health emergency. We trust that it was arrived at after careful consideration of the present health issue and the need to finally open up the economy.” Go, nonetheless, said he was appealing to the government to release the remaining arrears due to healthcare workers, including Covid-19-related allowances and unpaid death benefits. The senator said the obligations should be fulfilled “with or without the state of public health Emergency.” Align with new normal Marcos’ order also enjoined all agencies to ensure that their policies, rules, and regulations shall take into consideration the lifting of the state of public health emergency and to amend existing or to promulgate new issuances, as may be appropriate. Former president Rodrigo Duterte issued Proclamation 922 declaring a State of Public Health Emergency all over the country in March 2020. Proclamation 922 also stated that the public health emergency would remain in force until lifted or withdrawn by the president. WHO sees downtrend The International Health Regulations Emergency Committee of the World Health Organization highlighted the decreasing trend in Covid-19 deaths last May. It also reported a decline in Covid-19-related hospitalizations and intensive care unit admissions, as well as the high levels of population immunity to SARS-CoV-2. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus concurred with the advice of the committee that Covid-19 was now an established and ongoing health issue, which no longer constituted a public health emergency of international concern. The WHO likewise advised a transition to the long-term management of Covid-19. Stay vigilant For Health Secretary Ted Herbosa, the pronouncement is a “positive step forward,” and he agreed that the conditions no longer warrant the continuance of the public health emergency status. “It is crucial to recognize that while the state of public health emergency is lifted, we must remain vigilant and proactive in our approach to health and safety,” he said. Herbosa likewise stressed the importance of maintaining health awareness and adhering to health protocols to protect one from potential health risks. IATF to disband The Department of Health said the Inter-Agency Task Force would convene for a final meeting to formally conclude the public health emergency. Herbosa gave the IATF a pat on the back for its “exemplary performance” and “unwavering commitment,” and so too the medical front liners who demonstrated resilience and heroism throughout the challenging period. “Their dedication to safeguarding public health had been instrumental in reaching this critical milestone,” he said. “Let us embrace this positive development with gratitude and determination, knowing that by working together we shall prevail against any challenges that may lie ahead,” he added. Covid cases on Friday brought the total infection caseload to 4,171,063, with 234 new cases. Active cases, however, dropped to 5,278 from 5,431, the lowest since 29 April 2023, while seven new deaths and 380 new recoveries were logged. @tribunephl_Lade @tribunephl_eao The post Pandemic era over appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»

Eighteen potential private armed groups in Western Mindanao have been disbanded while the number of criminal gangs operating in Northern Mindanao, Davao region and Caraga has been reduced to four from 16, according to the National Task Force for the Disbandment of Private Armed Groups. NTF-DPAG deputy commander, Maj. Gen. Victor Wanchakan reported the developments during the presentation of the group’s accomplishments on Monday. Maj. Gen. Harold Tuazon, deputy commander of Area Police Command in Eastern Mindanao, said Wednesday that the accomplishments were due to the NTF-DPAG’s relentless efforts to neutralize lawless elements, including the increased deployment of troops in the area starting in the second quarter of 2022. Meanwhile, acting peace adviser Isidro Purisima said the Office of the Presidential Adviser on Peace, Reconciliation and Unity continues to assist the transition of former private armies members into productive citizens.

Rochelle Pangilinan, ‘MADE’ NA
Inamin ng aktres at dancer na si Rochelle Pangilinan na talagang malaki ang naitulong sa kanyang pagiging aktres ang talento niya sa pagsasayaw at ayon sa kanya ay madali siyang nakapag-adjust sa larangan ng pag-arte dahil na rin sa husay niya sa paghataw sa dance floor. “Sa totoo lang ‘yung pagsasayaw malaking tulong sa pag-arte,” saad ni Rochelle sa isang panayam. “Nakatulong siya, ‘yung pagsasayaw. Kasi ‘yung timing, lahat, same rin siya ng pag-arte. Sa pag-arte may role kang kailangang gampanan. Ganu’n din naman sa pagsasayaw, puwede kang maging sad, kung sad ang gusto mo, puwede kang sumayaw ng contemporary. Kung masaya ka naman, masayahin ang role mo, puwede ka namang mag hip-hop.” “Medyo pareho siya. Malaking tulong sa akin ‘yung pagsasayaw hanggang sa makarating ako sa pagiging artista ‘Yung timing and kung paano mag-deliver ng lines, big help siya. Hindi ako masyadong nahirapan (sa pag-a-adjust),” dagdag pa niya. Aminado rin siya na talagang nag-focus siya sa pag-aartista nang mag-disband ang SexBomb Dancers at nahasa rin siya nang bonggang-bongga sa sariling drama anthology ng kanilang grupo na “Daisy Siete” na umere mula 2003 hanggang 2010. Kasunod nito, binigyan din siya ng GMA ng pagkakataon na maging versatile actress sa pamamagitan ng iba’t ibang klase ng serye, kabilang ang Darna (2005 at 2009), Amaya (2011), at Encantadia (2016). Napapanood siya ngayon gabi-gabi sa Kapuso series na “Mga Lihim ni Urduja” na pinagbibidahan nina Kylie Padilla, Gabbi Garcia at Sanya Lopez.
