KIDAPAWAN CITY — The local government has placed Kabacan town in Cotabato province under a state of calamity as 10 of its 24 villages were flooded after the Kabacan river swelled due to torrential rains last week. Vice Mayor Herlo Guzman, who presided over the Sangguniang Bayan of Kabacan, said the majority of the council members approved the declaration of a state of calamity so funds could be released immediately to help affected residents. Guzman said they planned to tap at least P1.7 million from five per cent of the town's Quick Response Funds to buy more food packs and tarpaulins for more than 5,000 displaced families.

The race for East Coast electorate Ikaroa-Rāwhiti is wide open, after Meka Whaitiri's shock defection to Te Pāti Māori. Whaitiri (Ngā iwi o te Tai Rāwhiti, Ngāti Kahungunu) has held the seat for the last 10 years but may have scuppered her chances of another term by switching tickets at the last minute. She was up against Labour's new candidate Cushla Tangaere-Manuel (Ngāti Porou), who came from a rugby governance and media background and was not on Labour's list. Both women met at Ōrongomai Marae in Upper Hutt for a candidates debate facilitated by the PSA union and political commentator and former Labour staffer Shane Te Pou.

Lime zest-topped pork ribs and brisket with Barbs' signature green spaghetti (photos by Jay-Alan Baltierra) On January 5, 2023, a former ice cream parlor in Lockhart got a new lease on life. That's when co-owners Chuck Charnichart, Alexis Tovias, and Haley Conlin officially announced they'd be moving their barbecue pop-up into the empty brick-and-mortar space. I first heard about through our own Lockhart correspondent, Marketing & Engagement Manager Cassie Arredondo. She invited me to come cover 's grand opening on May 27, so I set my alarm clock for 9am and proceeded to sleep through that alarm.
