Two Senate leaders on Monday disputed pronouncements by Finance Secretary Benjamin Diokno that other means were available that would allow the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) and the Social Security System (SSS) to put funds in the Maharlika Investment Fund (MIF). In a statement, Senate Majority Leader Joel Villanueva said the MIF bill crafted by Congress was clear and should leave no room for interpretation: the MIF is barred from accepting funds from the government's pension systems.

by Craig Bauld So, have we reached the stage yet where we can discuss Covid like grown-up people? Can we consider the official figures? According to MoH statistics, 90.2 percent of NZers got vaxxed, 9.8 percent didn't. Call it 90 percent/10 percent, close enough. 2700 have died so far, of Covid or with Covid as a prime underlying factor. Tens of thousands hospitalised, same qualifiers. That's over three years. Few in the first year or two because we were locked down, but that's just a delaying action, death tends to catch up with us oldies in the end — it got the most frail-aged among us in a bit of a bump more recently.

dailies-editorials (2)(EDITORIAL from Korea Times on Sept. 27)Kim Jong-un's lifelineChina urged to play active role in new Cold WarOver the last few years, North Korea has truly lived up to its reputation as the "hermit country." It closed its borders and shut itself off from the rest of the world in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. With imports of food and fuel curtailed, pundits predicted that the country might be entering a death spiral as its population starved and froze. But now as North Korea reopens its borders after a hiatus of four years, it appears to be in a stronger position than it has been in some time.
