The 42 bodies of the SAF 44 commandos inside the Camp Bagong Diwa multi-purpose hall. JOAN BONDOC MANILA, Philippines—Europe on Friday called for a transparent investigation into the Jan. 25 deadly clash in Mamapasano, Maguindanao province, saying this would help restore public trust in the Mindanao peace process. The call was made by the European Union Delegation and the Embassies of the EU member states in the Philippines, which expressed their condolences to the families of the 44 Philippine National Police Special Action Force troopers who were killed in a clash with Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF) guerrillas. The 44 police commandos were killed after a law enforcement operation was executed targeting Malaysian bomb expert Zulkifli bin Hir, alias “Marwan.” DNA testing by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation indicated that he was also killed in the incident. “In the last three years, the Mindanao peace process has brought about increased hope and optimism for future security and prosperity. However, this event has reminded us that this cannot be taken for granted and that violence can still erupt unexpectedly,” the EU statement said. The groups on Friday said the investigations to be done by both the government and the MILF into the incident was “necessary and a welcome step” as they acknowledge the reiteration of both sides of their commitment to the peace process. “A full and transparent investigation will contribute to the reestablishment of confidence by the public in the process,” the EU Read More …

Map showing the disputed areas in the West Philippine Sea (south China Sea), including the Spratlys Islands and Scarborough Shoal. AFP PUERTO PRINCESA CITY, Philippines—China has deployed a dredging ship at the disputed Panganiban Reef (Mischief Reef) and is doing “substantial” reclamation in the partially submerged area, signaling Beijing may be preparing to expand its facilities there, according to the military command that is directly in charge of securing the country’s maritime interests in the West Philippine Sea. China has been earnestly conducting dredging activities at Panganiban Reef—a Philippine-claimed area in the Spratly group of islands, which Beijing occupied in the mid-1990s —similar to earlier reported land reclamation work in other areas of the Spratlys, said Rear Admiral Alexander Lopez, chief of the Western Command (Wescom) of the Armed Forces of the Philippines. “We don’t know what they plan to do in Mischief. It is already a garrison to begin with and far from being just a fisherman’s shelter, which was what (China) claimed when they first occupied it,” Lopez said. Aerial photos Lopez did not say when China started the dredging work or give any details on the extent of reclamation at Panganiban Reef, saying only the work had been “substantial.” He said the Navy has taken aerial photographs of the reclamation activities at Panganiban Reef but that his command was not authorized to release those photos. But Lopez said the physical change in Panganiban Reef since the dredging “has been substantial.” He said Panganiban Reef has been Read More …

This year’s commemoration of World Cancer Day on Feb. 4 adopted the theme “Not Beyond Us,” a phrase that hopes to take a positive and proactive approach to the fight against cancer while highlighting that solutions do exist, and that they are within our reach. The campaign will explore how we can implement what we already know in the areas of prevention, early detection, treatment and care, and in turn, open up to the exciting prospect that we can impact the global cancer burden. Cancer is a generic term for a large group of diseases that is characterized by the rapid formation of abnormal cells that grow beyond their usual boundaries, and which can then invade adjoining parts of the body and even spread to other organs, causing the destruction of affected cells, tissues and organs. 14 million cases While 14 million cases of cancer are being added every year, over eight million deaths worldwide are being attributed to it. The number of new cases is expected to rise by about 70 percent over the next two decades. Here in the country, 189 of every 100,000 Filipinos are afflicted with cancer while four Filipinos die of some form of the disease every hour, or 103 cancer patients every day, according to a study conducted by the University of the Philippines’ Institute of Human Genetics, National Institute of Health. The 2015 campaign of World Cancer Day organizers will focus around four key areas: Delivering early detection; Achieving treatment for all; Maximizing Read More …

John Lloyd Cruz (MNS Photo) Actor John Lloyd Cruz ended speculations that he is moving to another network when he renewed his contract with ABS-CBN. Cruz signed a three-year contract with the network, which was represented by ABS-CBN president and CEO Charo Santos-Concio. The actor also doused speculations that he had problems with ABS-CBN. “Wala namang isyu talaga to begin with. Nagsabi ako before na hindi tumagal ang prosesong ito because nakikipag-deal ako sa iba. Actually sinabi ko din ‘yun sa mga boss ko, hindi po ganoon. Talagang medyo detalyado lang ang kontrata,” Cruz said in an interview. Cruz admitted that he found the contract negotiations a “humbling” experience. “You are talking about Charo Santos-Concio giving you advice on how to stay in the business, on how to work around it. Parang ‘di lahat nabibigyan ng ganoong opportunity. I say humbling because parang kahit na anong goal na mayroon ka, kahit anong dream mayroon ka, hindi mo siya magagawang mag-isa,” Cruz said. “So, malaking bagay na kinukuha ka pa din, pinagkakatiwalaan ka pa din. To actually place your trust sa mga taong nagtitiwala sa iyo ay malaking bagay,” he added. According to Cruz, the contract includes both TV and movie projects. “Ang daming exciting na proyektong nasa paligid ko, nakaka-excite,” he said. Asked if this includes movies with Sarah Geronimo and Bea Alonzo, Cruz said he has learned to be more cautious when discussing future projects. “Alam mo, sa experience din natin, iingatan mo din ang excitement ng fans. Madalas Read More …

You just cannot sit down and talk with President Noynoy these days. His close associates in Malacañang said the President is “depressed.” The President did not even attend the annual awarding ceremonies of the Ten Outstanding Young Men of the Philippines (TOYM). He, instead sent Secretary Almendras to give the awards. I think President Noynoy is more scared of the prospect of being unseated as President amid calls for his ouster rather than being depressed on what happened in the Masasapano massacre . Civil society groups and several church leaders are supporting calls for President Noynoy to step down, Even the families of the 44 police commandos slaughtered by Muslim rebels in Masasapano, Maguindanao, said they will join groups to march in the streets to demand the resignation of President Noynoy. It was reported that President Noynoy was given a “cold treatment” by families of the slain cops and by some PNP officers when he attended the necrological services at the SAF headquarters in Taguig city. At least two families refused to acknowledge the presence of the President and even refused to receive the medals being awarded to their slain husbands from the President. I cannot blame these grieving families. The President never showed compassion, humility and sorrow during the necrological services for the fallen soldiers. The President even arrived late, they said. Most probably, President Noynoy attended another inauguration party from a car manufacturing firm. Calls for President Noynoy to step down have snowballed in the wake of public outrage Read More …

(MNS photo) MANILA (Mabuhay) – Senator Antonio Trillanes IV on Thursday said there are groups taking advantage of the tense situation following the deaths of 44 Special Action Force commandos in Mamasapano, Maguindanao to oust President Benigno Aquino III. “Merong nag-oorganisa. Nagmi-meeting na sila sa sequence of events na gagawin nila. You can feel it moving. They are hoping that the sentiment of the people will lead to, let’s say, social upheaval,” Trillanes said at a news forum at the Senate. He said the groups come from different sectors such as the Catholic Church, leftist organizations, and the political opposition. “Merong nanggagatong na mga political forces diyan sa mga sama ng loob na ‘yan. In the coming days, may makikita na kayong placards uli,” he added. “Let’s just say na marami tayong nakukuhang information ngayon at pinasa na sa security at intelligence community para sila ang mag-validate,” Trillanes said Trillanes said the sentiments of the public are valid. “Valid ‘yung sama ng loob. Kailangan lang idiin pa, gatungan pa. ‘Yun ang purpose ng mga grupong ito. Hindi pa humuhupa Read More …
