MANILA, Philippines — In a 'sudden turnaround,' state prosecutors have asked a Muntinlupa City court to reopen one of former Sen. Leila de Lima's two remaining illegal drug cases to give them the chance to present a last-minute witness and other 'rebuttal evidence' against her. The move of the Department of Justice (DOJ) panel of prosecutors to request the reopening of Criminal Case No. 17-165 took De Lima's defense counsel Filibon Tacardon by surprise, as he said both parties had already agreed to have the case submitted for decision.

MANILA, Philippines — Pauline Gaston had a bittersweet feeling as she gave a glimmer of hope to Chery Tiggo's dimming semifinals chances while booting her former team, Choco Mucho, out of the race in the 2023 Premier Volleyball League All-Filipino Conference on Thursday at Philsports Arena. Gaston, who decided to sign with the Crossovers after two seasons with the Flying Titans, haunted her ex-team with an all-around performance of 12 points, 19 digs, and 14 excellent receptions. The outside spiker admitted she missed her previous squad but she kept her composure when facing them to end the three-game skid of Chery Tiggo.

Our local rural roads are rapidly falling in to disrepair as a result of many years of inadequate maintenance and increased heavy traffic, especially logging trucks. Some of these roads are now dangerous to drive on, especially at night and when it is wet. In many cases recent repairs are rapidly failing. There appears to be a lack of quality control from council staff over the road contractors. There is already a 10 metre section of the Wharekopae Road that has been reverted to gravel — a sign of things to come? Would Gisborne City residents be happy to drive out to the Eastwoodhill Arboretum and the Rere Rockslide on a gravel road? Meanwhile our existing gravel roads are reverting to dirt! This raises the question about whether funding for repairs and the significant money spent on traffic control is being spent efficiently.

It's no secret that Australian consumers are struggling under the weight of inflation, which peaked at 7.8% last year, but remains stubbornly high at an average of 7% for the year to March. The most recent Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) data reveals that over the past 12 months, food and non-alcoholic beverages are up 8%, travel and accommodation has risen by 25%, and medical services are up 6.7%. Electricity has risen by a whopping 15.5%, the largest annual rise since 2013. What these figures translate to in real terms is higher prices at the supermarket, petrol prices nudging the $2-a-litre mark, and airfares that are above pre-pandemic levels .

JAKARTA, Indonesia : Power outages are leaving Vietnamese homes and businesses without power for hours at a time, as a prolonged drought and high temperatures strain the fast-growing economy's capacity to keep up. A long-anticipated plan meant to fix the energy crunch and help achieve ambitious climate change goals will offer some relief but may not go far enough in weaning the country off of fossil fuels, experts say. The need for progress is evident. Streetlights have been turned off in some major cities and businesses have been told to cut energy use.
