P6-B illegal drugs destruction saves thousands from ‘hell’ — Abalos
Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Benhur Abalos said Sunday that the destruction by the government of P6-B worth of dangerous narcotics over the weekend had saved thousands of young people from the road to perdition. This was after a total of 247 kilograms of methamphetamine hydrochloride, or shabu, seized at the Manila International Container Port on 6 October 2023 were destroyed at a government facility in Trece Martires, Cavite through thermolysis last Friday, 20 October. Also burned were 206 kilograms of dimethyl sulfone, a shabu extender, recovered by the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) in Mabalacat, Pampanga on 25 August this year. “Malaking bagay ang ginawa natin ngayong araw na pagsunog sa mga iligal na droga na ito. Dahil dito ay libo-libong mga kababayan natin, lalo na ang mga kabataan, ang nailigtas natin mula sa pagkagumon sa bawal na gamot na tiyak na maghahatid sa kanila sa kapahamakan at sa impiyerno,” Abalos said, stressing that illegal drugs is a menace to the nation especially to the youth. He commended the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA), the Philippine National Police, and the different drug enforcement units for their perseverance and hard work in the government’s anti-illegal drugs campaign. “Saludo ako sa sipag at pagsisikap ng PDEA, PNP, NBI, at iba pang awtoridad sa mga hakbang nito kontra iligal na droga sa ating mga komunidad. Isa na naman itong malaking tagumpay para sa pamahalaan at para sa kampanyang Buhay Ingatan, Droga’y Ayawan,” Abalos said. “Higit sa lahat, isa itong malaking tagumpay para sa magandang kinabukasan ng ating kabataan,” he added. Abalos also stressed that with thermolysis, the dangerous substances were completely broken down and were impossible to reconstitute. “Nakasisiguro tayo na hindi na ito babalik pa sa merkado at hindi na makapangbibiktima ng mga kabataan,” he said. He, likewise, urged the government’s drug enforcement units to relentlessly go after big syndicates to significantly reduce the supply of illegal drugs in the country. “Habang puspusan ang inyong anti-drug operations at pagtugis sa mga drug syndicates, ang ibang sektor naman ng lipunan ay magtutulong-tulong sa demand reduction aspect para tuluyan nang mailayo ang mga kabataan sa masamang bisyo,” he said. “This is the beauty of the whole-of-nation approach being espoused by our BIDA campaign. Hindi lang ang PDEA, PNP, NBI at AFP ang kikilos, lahat tayo ay may mahalagang papel at bida laban sa droga,” he said. For his part, PDEA Director General Moro Virgilio M. Lazo emphasized this renewed drug approach. “The PDEA’s strategy, in line with President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s anti-drug campaign thrust, is geared towards community rehabilitation, going after drug syndicates and getting rid of unscrupulous officials.” The post P6-B illegal drugs destruction saves thousands from ‘hell’ — Abalos appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»
5 vote buying DQ cases filed by Comelec, warns LGU of prohibitions
The Commission on Elections has begun filing petitions against the Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections candidates allegedly involved in vote buying on 6 October. Out of the 40 complaints being investigated, the Comelec poll board submitted five disqualification petitions, according to Comelec Deputy Executive for Operations Rafael Olano. He added that the Committee on Vote Buying has received complaints from the public on various platforms, including Facebook and messages which contained screenshots or images. "All of these complaints came from voters. We verified and evaluated them for possible filing of disqualification cases “he said. Olano confirmed that one of the five candidates under investigation for disqualification is involved in a BSK bet showing up at a local government unit aid distribution, which he claimed to be qualified as vote buying. “There were local government officials, mayors distributing relief but the BSKE candidate was present and was allowed to speak," he said. After the official filing of candidacy, it was claimed that another BSK candidate distributed financial aid out of his pocket. Prior to the election, the poll body warned candidates of its strict measures which prohibit the distribution of ballers, t-shirts, caps, and anything else of worth under the suspicion of vote buying and selling. Comelec Commissioner Ernesto Ferdinand Maceda Jr. reminded LGU officials to be aware of such prohibitions during a separate briefing. "If they conduct assistance programs, they should not let BSKE candidates join them, lest they be disqualified,” he said. Maceda added that the Comelec would consider potential reinforcing techniques if similar incidents persist as the campaign period drew closer. “We will study how to reprimand them or take appropriate actions,” he said. In the end, Maceda stressed that the poll body is “dead serious” about its exclusion warning in order to assure not just the validity and honesty of the BSK polls but also to raise the bar for campaigning standards across the nation and the importance of each BSK candidate’s character. As of Friday, the Task Force Anti-Epal had filed an additional 10 disqualification petitions against candidates who were allegedly involved in premature campaigning while the Committee on Kontra Bigay had filed five disqualification cases for vote buying. Overall, there are 82 petitions for premature campaigning, 5,169 show cause orders, and 1,132 responses from the BSK bets.

Bong Go shows full support to Filipino athletes in 19th Asian Games
Senator Christopher "Bong" Go, chairperson of the Senate Committee on Sports, articulated his deep sense of pride for Filipino athletes participating in the 19th Asian Games being held in Hangzhou City, China, from 23 September to 8 October. The senator personally traveled to China to show his full support for the Philippine delegation early this week. He also attended live competitions, including the recent match between Gilas Pilipinas and Iran at Zijingang Gymnasium, Zhejiang University on 3 October. “Nakapanood din tayo ng ilang live competitions, gaya na lang ng nakaraang laban ng Gilas Pilipinas kontra sa Iran," he said. “Masarap talaga ang pakiramdam bilang isang Pilipino dahil muling nagwagi ang pambato natin sa basketball na Gilas Pilipinas,” he shared. Go, chairperson of the Senate Committee on Sports, expressed his appreciation and heartfelt gratitude to the athletes, coaches, national sports associations and staff, as well as the Philippine Olympic Committee, Philippine Sports Commission and other agencies who worked hard to support the Philippine delegation. "Bilang chair ng Senate Committee on Sports, taus-puso kong pinupuri at pinasasalamatan ang mga manlalaro nating ibinibigay ang lahat para itaas ang bandera ng Pilipinas sa ginaganap na kumpetisyon," he said. Meanwhile, Go also congratulated Gilas Pilipinas for their historic win over China in the semifinals on October 4, which secured their spot in the gold medal match against Jordan. He praised Justin Brownlee for his clutch performance that led the team to a stunning comeback from a 20-point deficit. The senator also expressed his excitement for the upcoming gold medal match between Gilas Pilipinas and Jordan. He said he will be cheering for the team as they aim to win the country’s first-ever Asian Games gold in basketball. The match is scheduled for 6 October. Go then lauded jiu-jitsu fighter Margarita "Meggie" Ochoa for winning the second gold medal for the Philippines on 5 October. Ochoa defeated Balqees Abdulla of the United Arab Emirates in the final match of the women's –48 kg division. She joined pole vaulter Ernest John Obiena as the country's gold medalists in this edition of the Asian Games. “Samantala, ang boxer na si Eumir Marcial ay pasok na rin sa Asian Games finals matapos niyang ma-knockout ang Syrian boxer na si Ahmad Ghousoon sa men's 80kg weight class nitong October 4. Dahil dito, haharapin ni Eumir sa finals si Tanglatihan Tuohetaerbieke ng China para sa gold medal. Pasok na rin si Eumir sa 2024 Paris Olympics,” Go also mentioned. As vice chairperson of the Senate Committee on Finance, Go has also been a strong advocate for increased funding for sports programs. He revealed that last year's proposed budget for the Philippine Sports Commission was approximately P200 million. However, he pushed for an additional P1 billion, thereby significantly enhancing the financial support for athletes in international competitions. "Dahil dito, nakapagbigay tayo ng pinansyal na suporta para sa mga atletang lumahok sa mga international competitions," he added. This move paved the way for the provision of financial support for athletes participating in international competitions, including the recent 2023 Southeast Asian Games in Cambodia and the ongoing Asian Games in China. Go also emphasized the importance of grassroots sports development, saying, “Tinututukan din natin ang grassroots sports development upang mahubog ang mga kabataan nasaan man sila sa bansa na nagnanais na sumabak sa mga pambansa at pandaigdigang palaro.” In line with this, he highlighted his role as the author and co-sponsor of RA 11470, which established the National Academy of Sports in New Clark City, Tarlac. "Ang NAS ay nagbibigay ng de-kalidad na edukasyon at sports training sa mga batang may potensyal na maging world-class athletes," he added. Additionally, Go filed SBN 423, or the Philippine National Games (PNG) Act, to institutionalize a national platform for athletes, especially the youth, to showcase their talents. "Sa pamamagitan ng PNG, mas maraming talento ang mabibigyan ng pagkakataon na makilala at mapabilang sa ating mga national team," he said. The senator also continues to support the implementation of sports clinics, community leagues, and the provision of sports equipment in rural areas. "Sabi ko nga palagi, ‘get into sports and stay away from drugs!’" he advised. Go called on all Filipinos to continue supporting and praying for all athletes competing in the Asian Games and other competitions. "Ang kanilang tagumpay ay tagumpay ng buong sambayanang Pilipino! Laban, Pilipinas! Ipakita natin ang puso ng Pilipino na lumalaban hanggang dulo!" he exclaimed. "Go, go, go for the gold!" he cheered. As of 5 October, the Philippines has two golds, one silver, and nine bronze medals in the ongoing Asian Games.

DND, AFP, Comelec sign pact for orderly barangay, SK elections
The Department of National Defense and the Armed Forces of the Philippines on Thursday signed an agreement with the Commission on Elections to ensure peaceful and orderly barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections nationwide on 30 October. Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr. signed the pact with Comelec chairperson George Erwin Garcia at the DND headquarters in Camp Aguinaldo, Quezon City. The signing was also witnessed by AFP Chief Gen. Romeo Brawner Jr. and Comelec Commissioner Ernesto Ferdinand Maceda Jr., who is in charge of the Committee on Kontra Bigay. The Committee on Kontra Bigay aims to combat the “deplorable practice of vote buying”, which Teodoro said continues to pollute the country’s democracy. “Ang tao, naiimpluwensyahan ng mga bagay na hindi kanais-nais. Kaya po ang fault niyan ay nasa namimigay,” he said. On the other hand, Brawner signed a separate memorandum of understanding with Garcia allowing Comelec to deputize AFP personnel to ensure free, orderly and peaceful barangay elections. At the sidelines of the MOA signing, the Comelec handed over a check to AFP amounting to P40 million in support of the military’s administrative, operational and logistical needs "as they perform their functions relative to the upcoming BSK elections."

DoJ, Comelec intensify fight vs vote buying
The Department of Justice and the Commission on Elections recently forged an agreement to fight vote buying and vote selling not only in the coming Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections slated on 30 October but also in future polls. Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla and Comelec chairperson George Erwin Garcia signed a memorandum of agreement against “Kontra Bigay” on Monday. “We are making history,” said Remulla after the MoA signing, adding that they are strengthening the foundation of the country’s democracy. “We are sending a clear message to every Filipino on the importance and sanctity that our votes should be protected,” Remulla said. “Our purpose is very simple, fight the widespread problem of vote buying and vote selling that destroy the integrity of the electoral process.” “Under this MoA, we will together stand, talk, and help each other,” he added. The DoJ chief stressed that the partnership’s aim is to ensure that those who commit election offenses will face the law. “Combining the investigatory prowess of the Comelec and the prosecutorial power of the DoJ we aim to ensure those who committed election offenses shall face the full force of the law,” Remulla said. Garcia, for his part, stressed that the only way to weed out and fight vote buying and vote selling is to prosecute and prosecute with firmness. “If we have on our side the prosecutorial arm of the government led by the National Prosecution Service and the other agencies of the DoJ, we can ensure that no one will fear, and there will be focus and serious campaign against this new cancer of our democracy,” Garcia said.

Vote-buyers’ arrest sans warrant soon
Persons engaged in vote-buying or vote-selling may soon be arrested sans a warrant. This as the Commission on Elections is set to come out this month with new rules on vote-buying and vote-selling including citizen’s arrest of violators. Atty. John Rex Laudiangco, Comelec spokesperson, during Wednesday’s Laging Handa press briefing in Malacañang, said a temporary committee was revitalized into Committee on Anti-Kontra Bigay headed by Commissioner Ernesto Ferdinand Maceda Jr. The guidelines, Laudiangco said, will aid law enforcement and prosecution officials in pinning down those who would engage in vote-buying or vote-selling, during the Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections in October. “The resolution on this is coming out in the coming week and it will be a deterrent to those planning to violate Section 261-A of the Omnibus Election Code,” he said. Comelec chairperson George Garcia, during the signing of a memorandum of agreement with the Philippine National Police and Philippine Coast Guard, said the rules may include warrantless arrest. Comelec, PNP and PCG committed to doing their best for fair and peaceful elections on 30 October. He issued a warning to stop the practice of vote-buying as a warrantless arrest will be implemented starting the campaign of the BSK elections. “In the guidelines that we will issue, we will allow the PNP to arrest if the person is caught in the act. We will authorize that now with the full backing of the Comelec because it is our belief that under our Constitution a warrantless arrest is allowed,” he said. Garcia said these revisions are needed because of the changing times and stop the long-time practice of vote-buying.

Bong Go welcomes decision to lift public health emergency for COVID-19
Senator Christopher "Bong" Go has welcomed the decision of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to lift the State of Public Health Emergency in the country due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, he called on the Executive Branch to make sure to provide healthcare workers their due compensation in accordance with the law. Here is his full statement: STATEMENT OF SEN. BONG GO ON THE LIFTING OF STATE OF PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY DUE TO COVID-19 We respect the decision of President Bongbong Marcos, Jr. of lifting the state of public health emergency in our country. We trust that it was arrived at after careful consideration of the present health issue and the need to finally open up the economy. Gayunpaman, ang apela ko sa executive branch ng gobyerno ay siguraduhin pa ring maibibigay sa ating mga healthcare workers ang dapat nilang nakuha noon ayon sa batas. Kasama na diyan ang mga hindi pa nabibigyan ng kanilang COVID-19-related allowances, pati ang mga death benefits para sa mga nagbuwis ng buhay sa ating laban kontra COVID-19. With or without the State of Public Health Emergency, the government should fulfill its obligations to protect the lives of Filipinos, safeguard their health, and give what is due to them, especially to our medical frontlines. Ang apela ko naman sa mga kababayan natin, patuloy pa rin tayong mag-ingat, alagaan ang ating katawan at unahin ang ating kalusugan. Marami na tayong natutunan at naisakripisyo nitong panahon ng pandemya na magsisilbing aral sa atin upang mapangalagaan ang ating komunidad laban sa iba’t ibang health threats. Bilang chair ng Senate Committee on Health, patuloy akong magsusulong ng mga panukalang batas at susuporta sa mga programa ni Pangulong Marcos Jr. na makakapagpabuti ng ating health system at makakatulong sa mahihirap. Ilapit natin sa tao ang serbisyo medikal mula sa gobyerno at siguraduhin nating hindi napapabayaan ang mga higit na nangangailangan, lalo na ang mga mahihirap na mga Pilipino.
