MADRID — Torrential rain that followed a prolonged drought has turned streets into rivers that swept away cars and nearly some pedestrians in towns along Spain's Mediterranean coast. In Molina de Segura in the southeastern region of Murcia, social media footage showed a boy being flipped out of his buggy as his mother tried to push him across a flooded street. They were both pulled to safety by a bystander. Passersby intervened to stop another family member trying to make the crossing with the buggy a second time.

MANILA, Philippines — Senate Minority Leader Aquilino 'Koko' Pimentel has again cautioned President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. against signing the Maharlika Investment Fund (MIF) bill.

It is an ill-conceived law, we do not have surplus and windfall profits. 2. It is not timely, the world economy and geopolitical situation are bad.
