After just a year in office, it is easy to discredit President Bongbong Marcos on his 85-minute SONA. But the seeming 'silence' of the common masa, to me, is clear indication that today, the citizenry is still studying and feeling his moves, and not likely jump to sweeping generalizations. But watching and listening to his entire speech, what came evident to everyone was his repeated mentions of people numbers, maybe as his way of explaining his Bagong Pilipinas. Among those very telling numbers are in housing, when he mentioned that his Pambansang Pabahay Para sa Pilipino Housing program or 4-PH already broke ground in 25 locations nationwide and this will increase to more than a hundred locations.

TWO of our top trainers – Nathan Hobson and Austy Coffey – will be having, certainly by their own standards, a 'very quiet' Swan Hill Cup Carnival. Coffey has been winding back the numbers of horses he has in work because of the difficulty finding staff to run a large stable with everything from trackwork to mucking out stalls. This year he will have just three runners – one each day. Today will see Mrs Bull going around in a 1200m maiden, tomorrow Simply Sparklez gets a start in a BM58 dash over 975m and on Sunday Brilliant Reward will take on another 975m – but in a maiden plate.

FRESNO : A thermal battery startup backed by Bill Gates' Breakthrough Energy Ventures has launched its first commercial-scale system, a major step toward its goal of weaning heavy industry off fossil fuels. With its pilot project up and running at a facility in Fresno, California, Antora Energy plans to ship the technology to its first buyers in 2025. Unlike a lithium-ion battery, which stores electricity as chemical energy, Antora's thermal battery system keeps it as heat inside carbon blocks at temperatures above 1,800 degrees Celsius.

Scott Eisen/Getty Images (WASHINGTON) -- Former President Donald Trump is continuing to insist there was no wrongdoing in his handling of sensitive government documents after he left the White House -- and supporters continue to stand by him -- in the wake of an audio recording, obtained by ABC News and other outlets, where Trump acknowledges he held onto a "secret" military document post-presidency and knew it wasn't declassified. "I don't care about any recordings," Trump told Fox News on Tuesday during a campaign stop in Concord, New Hampshire.
