MANILA/BEIJING, April 4, 2023 : China warned on Tuesday that Washington was "endangering regional peace and stability" with a new deal expanding American troops' access to bases in the Philippines. "Out of self-interest, the US maintains a zero-sum mentality and continues to strengthen its military deployment in the region," foreign ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said, adding the "result will inevitably be increased military tension and endangering regional peace and stability". In short, Mao Ning added the move would only lead to more tension and less peace and stability in the region.

The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) confirmed last week what Filipinos who have seen construction projects up close can already determine for themselves: That many construction companies do not comply with basic health and safety standards, thus putting their workers at very real risk of serious injury, debilitating illness, and even death. According to the DOLE's Bureau of Working Conditions (BWC), 52 of the 95 or 55 percent of the construction projects that it inspected from Aug. 1 to 15 in Metro Manila alone were found to have violated basic occupational safety and health standards mandated under the OSHS law.

GENEVA/LONDON  – A United Nations agency urged global finance ministers to give poor countries debt repayment breaks, estimating the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent surge in inflation and borrowing costs had pushed an extra 165 million people into poverty. The U.N. Development Program said the jump meant more than 20 percent of the world's population – around 1.65 billion people – were now living on less than $3.65 a day and struggling to put food on the table. Group of 20 finance ministers meeting in India next week will discuss tackling poverty, along with reforming the world's top multilateral institutions and the international debt architecture.
