Robi Domingo flies home on his birthday
Today, Robi Domingo is celebrating his 34th birthday in a whole different way from his previous ones. He comes home from Singapore with his girlfriend Maiqui Pineda who had a medical visit there. After being engaged to Pineda last July, their supposed wedding preparation turned out to be a recovery journey for her as she was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease called Dermatomyositis. Dermatomyositis causes muscle weakness, inflammation, and skin rash. Domingo stood by his fiancée's side from the beginning. He was present to witness her every cry of pain and relief as he tried his best to accompany her with her doctor consultations. The TV host's birthday this year may not be as perfect but this gives him a new perspective (a positive one) in appreciating life. His wish goes for the love of his life to gain complete healing. At the same time, he did not forget to thank everyone for their support and prayers. The post Robi Domingo flies home on his birthday appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»
Maggie Wilson reveals she is target of paid, coordinated trolling
In an expose usually reserved for politicians, Maggie Wilson revealed a whole ring of influencers that were paid to do a smear campaign against her and boyfriend Tim Connor. In a series of Instagram stories, Wilson illustrated the web of targeted harassment against her. She screencapped conversations, scripts, and how much the recruited trolls were paid in the campaign against her. As Wilson threatened to sue, several of these ‘influencers’ have apologized on their tiktok accounts. Netizens have made memes as to how Wilson was able to take down an entire troll network, and that maybe the controversial P125M confidential funds should go to her instead.

Innovation is essential for Phl transformation, says PBBM
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Wednesday emphasized the importance of innovation in transforming the country and achieving its development goals. In his speech during the launching of the National Innovation Agenda and Strategy Document 2023-2032, Marcos called on all the stakeholders to collaborate with the government in promoting innovation. "Invest in our local enterprises. Support our research institutions. Embrace the corporate responsibility of financing innovation-driven programs and projects," Marcos said. "These undertakings serve as catalysts to achieve our overall developmental agenda. Your involvement will be instrumental to their success," Marcos added. Marcos also called on the academe to be at the forefront of innovation as the Chief Executive recognized their role as incubators of talent, skills, and ideas that will shape the future. "Continue to develop the minds and the sensibilities of our youth so that we can set them up for success and harness their talents for national development," Marcos said. Marcos said that the government is steadfast in its commitment to nurturing innovation and sustainable development. He added that the government understood the crucial role played by infrastructure development and cutting-edge facilities. "They serve as the crucible for innovation and the foundation of our glorious future. And that is why we will remain aggressive in our drive to invest in our infrastructure system," Marcos said. Marcos said that he is confident that the Philippines can achieve its goals for innovation and sustainable development with the guidance of the NIASD. In the same speech, Marcos said that the NIASD is a "blueprint that will accelerate the country's innovation governance as well as promote a culture of innovation among scientists, researchers, entrepreneurs, engineers, and of course citizens." He added that the document is not just a plan but a commitment to making innovation an indispensable component of the nation's development agenda, and a key driver in the vision to achieve a truly smart and innovative Philippines. NIASD, which Marcos approved on 30 June 2023, is in accordance with Republic Act 11293, also known as the Philippine Innovation Act. Per the information provided by the National Economic and Development Authority, the NIASD has outlined its plans from 2023 to 2032. One of the plans includes reforming the education curriculum design and learning platforms to develop Filipinos' creativity, curiosity, problem-solving skills, and entrepreneurial abilities for the 21st century.

NPA rebels better off joining military reserve force—Zubiri
Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri on Wednesday raised a suggestion that members of the New People Army’s are better off joining military reserve forces to support their pro-people advocacies. “My appeal to the left, to the opponents of the government from the left. We are all Filipinos here. Isa lang namana ng hanay natin. We all wanted ang mabuhay ng mapayapa at mabigyan ng pagkakatapon ang ating mga kababayan na mabuhay ng disente through education through livelihood we are all in the same end games,” Zubiri said during the deliberation of the Senate Committee on Finance on the 2024 proposed P229.9-billion budget of the Department of National Defense and its attached agencies, . Zubiri lamented that overthrowing the government through political ideologies has been long gone. “Yung mga nagnanais na masira ang ating bansa through political means through ideological means—wala na yan sa ibang parte ng mundo wala na yan (Those who want to destroy our country through political means through ideological means—it does not exist anymore in other parts of the world),” he said. Zubiri said, “These rebellions have already failed and they decided to come together and move forward with the political solution.” “Mas maganda na sumama na lang sila sa atin para mawala yung korapsyon para mawala yung kagutuman at kahirapan (It’s better that they join us to eliminate corruption to get rid of the hunger and poverty) he added. Zubiri urged NPA members to become military reserve forces. “Imbes na mamaril pa ng kapwa Pilipino, mas maganda mag volunteer na lang sila sumama na lang sila sa reserve force, doon sila ideploy sa Pag-asa Island. Samahan nila ang mga mangingisda natin doon. Mas maganda po ‘yun (Instead of shooting your fellow Filipinos, its better that they would volunteer to join us and become part of our reserve force. They can be deployed in Pag-asa Island. They should accompany our fishermen there. It will be better),” he said. Pag-asa Island, also known as Thitu Island, is 37.2 hectares of rock located in the Spratly Islands and is the largest of the Philippine-administered islands. It lies about 500 kilometers west of Puerto Princesa, Palawan. Amid the ongoing tensions in the Philippine territorial waters, Senator Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa said NPA members should instead join the Reserve Officers' Training Corps to help defend the country against external threats. “Sana mag-ROTC na lang sila para makatulong (Hopefully, they will join ROTC so they can help),” said Dela Rosa. On the other hand, Zubiri urged the Armed Forces of the Philippines to take note of the consequences of insurgency-free declaration in various NPA-infiltrated areas. “May mga recidivist pa rin. Yung mga diehard, hindi mawawala iyon. Kaya minsan, hindi maganda na ina-announce niyo na NPA-free yung probinsya kasi pag ina-announce niyo gumagawa sila ng hakbang, maski nagaling sa labas papasok dooon nanggugulo para lang ipakita na mali ang mga annoucements so we have to be careful (There are still recidivists. Those diehards won't go away. So sometimes, it's not good that you announce that the province is NPA-free because when you announce it, they take steps—even though people from the outside come in there causing trouble just to show that you announcements are wrong, so we have to be careful.),” Zubiri said. Brawner explained that the declaration of insurgency-free is intended to help the previously NPA-infiltrated areas to attract investment opportunities “after being deprived for long decades due to the security threats posed by rebels.” “We need to declare first the area insurgency-free so that the investors will also come in. They’ll feel secure coming into that provinces or regions,” he said. Brawner confirmed Zubiri’s remarks that leftists are messing up with the declaration of insurgency-free areas. “Nangyayari po iyon. Totoo po iyon Mr. Senate President na once we declared an area insurgency-free, ang ginagawa ng makakaliwa is that from the outside nag-iinfiltrate sila (That happens. That's true Mr. Senate President that once we declared an area insurgency-free, what the leftists are doing is that from the outside they are infiltrating in that area),” he said, citing one recent incident in Bicol region where a group of NPA rebels attacked a military detachment to sow fear in the communities. The success of the Barangay Development Program within identified conflict-affected areas and geographically- isolated and disadvantaged areas, resulted in the "demolition" of rebels is one of the military's parameters in the declaration of insurgency-free. Brawner noted the huge contributions of the BDP in addressing the root causes of insurgency. He said the government’s BDP allows basic services more accessible to the communities previously infiltrated by the NPA rebels, including farm-to-market roads, and education facilities, among others.
