MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine National Police (PNP) has welcomed the proposed Senate investigation into the alleged attempt to 'cover up' the arrest of Police Master Sergeant Rodolfo Mayo, who yielded P6.7-billion worth of shabu in October 2022. 'This is a welcome development to once and for all clear all issues related to the biggest drug accomplishment we had last year,' the PNP said in a statement issued Wednesday. On April 11, Sen. Ramon Revilla Jr. filed Resolution No. 564, which urges the appropriate Senate committees to conduct an inquiry into the alleged involvement of PNP's high-ranking officials in the massive drug haul.

It's date night in the city again and this time Mr NQN and I are headed to Monopole where amazing food is served in a casual wine bar and bistro setting. If you're looking for a wine bar that happens to serve phenomenal food then bookmark this review. It has been 3 years since Monopole moved from Potts Point to the city. The new space is slightly hidden away in Curtin Place among a cluster of other restaurants behind towering Australia Square. It's a casual space with an open kitchen.

LONDON (AP) — U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak heads to the governing Conservative Party's annual conference on Sunday facing a triple challenge: Cheer up a party that's trailing in opinion polls, sideline rivals who are eyeing his job and persuade the voting public that a party in power for 13 years deserves another term in office. Sunak's arsenal includes a package of populist measures — such as slowing moves to phase out fossil fuels — designed to win back voters who have rejected the Conservatives over Britain's stagnating economy, cost-of-living crisis and waves of strikes that have intermittently shut down doctors' offices, schools and train services.

The controversies around the Department of Tourism's 'Love the Philippines' promotional campaign got me thinking of another related controversy on an international scale. I'm referring to the terms 'nationalism' and 'patriotism,' both generally positive terms that were even taught in schools and upheld as cherished values, but which have now taken on negative meanings. I'll concentrate on English but similar growing reservations about the two terms are to be found in other languages. The definitions I will be using are from American political scientist Joshua Holzer in a recent article he wrote for The Conversation.

CEBU CITY — They may not have a grand Father's Day celebration, but seeing all members of his family unscathed amid a fire that struck a passenger ship off Bohol town was all that matters. 'I'm very happy that we were all safe, including our children,' said Louie Jay Tolo in an interview. The 22-year-old father could not contain his happiness after arriving safely with his family in Cebu City on Sunday, less than 12 hours since MV Esperanza Star caught fire off Panglao Island in Bohol. Tolo, his 19-year-old live-in partner Russell Rose Baliquig, and their children Zion Asher, 1, and Gavin Asher, a week old, traveled from Lazi in Siquijor to Cebu via Tagbilaran for his work in a mini hotel in Liloan town, Cebu.

By Jarrett Renshaw BOSTON (Reuters) – Vice President Kamala Harris has shown a punchy side during a tour of nearly a dozen U.S. states in recent weeks, attacking Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for backing 'revisionist history' about slavery, telling Iowa healthcare workers to rebel against the state's new restrictive abortion laws and rallying Latinos in Chicago to fight 'extremist' Republicans. On Saturday, Harris, the first woman and first woman of color to serve as vice president, opened the NAACP's annual conference in Boston, a key political event for Black Americans that will help define the issues Democrats focus on in the 2024 election.

Yale researchers have shown that placental examination resulted in the accurate pathologic determination of more than 90% of previously unexplained pregnancy losses, a discovery that they say may inform pregnancy care going forward. The findings were reported Sept. 19 in the journal Reproductive Sciences. There are approximately 5 million pregnancies per year in the United States, with 1 million ending in miscarriage (a loss occurring prior to 20 weeks of gestation) and over 20,000 ending in stillbirth at or beyond 20 weeks of gestation.
