MANILA, Philippines — President Ferdinnad Marcos Jr. on Tuesday said the country would now 'disengage' from the International Criminal Court (ICC), after it rejected on Monday the government's appeal that the court suspend its drug war probe while the Philippine government is also appealing the ruling authorizing the resumption of the investigation. 'At this point, we essentially are disengaging from any contact, from any communication, I guess, with the ICC,' the President told reporters in Pasay City when asked about its rejection of the government's request to suspend the investigation into alleged crimes against humanity under the drug war of his predecessor, Rodrigo Duterte.

In June 1988, one country sang its way to freedom. Estonia, a small Baltic nation, started the Singing Revolution to assert its bid for independence from the Soviet Union. Hundreds and thousands of people gathered for five straight nights to sing songs of protest. It was soon followed by other forms of peaceful resistance, which culminated in Estonia's triumph toward nationhood in 1991. It became a powerful example of how peaceful assembly could lead to societal change. The fundamental right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association has long been cherished as a cornerstone of a flourishing democracy.

SEOUL : The US and South Korean militaries want to more closely integrate their systems for tracking North Korean missile launches, an effort that may soon see more cooperation with Japan as well, US Space Force officials said on Wednesday (Aug 30). Led by a small contingent of US Space Force personnel - the branch's first official component set up overseas - the allies see closer space integration as key to better tracking North Korean threats and responding to a conflict. US President Joe Biden agreed with South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida at an Aug 18 summit that by the end of this year the three countries would share North Korea missile warning data in real time.

The Philippines is seeking closer cooperation with Canada on cybersecurity, the Department of National Defense said on Tuesday. Defense Senior Undersecretary Carlito Galvez Jr. suggested during his meeting with Canadian ambassador David Hartman last week that both countries collaborate on boosting cybersecurity 'given the need to secure confidential computer data systems from unauthorized access, data leakage, malware, among others.' The two countries are currently finalizing the negotiations for a memorandum of understanding on defense cooperation, which would serve as a framework for both defense and military establishments in enhancing interoperability and developing necessary capabilities in addressing the security challenges of the region.
