Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, September 10) – Groups of educators condemned the planned changes of the Department of Education (DepEd) in its Grade 6 Araling Panlipunan curriculum, which they said would spread disinformation and historical distortion.

"The alteration of historical terminology is not only distortion but also undermines the truth about one of the darkest periods in Philippine history," the Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT) said on Sunday.

Following a directive from the DepEd Curriculum and Teaching Management Committee, the agency's Bureau of Curriculum Development on Sept. 6 released a memorandum that would change the term "Diktadurang Marcos" to "Diktadura" in the Araling Panlipunan subject of the new MATATAG curriculum.

On Saturday, the Congress of Teachers/Educators for Nationalism and Democracy (CONTEND) described the revision as “a blatant example of disinformation, where the people are deliberately misled by manipulating historical facts.”

In a separate Instagram story, Labador shared that he was unable to receive messages from business partners and colleagues on Messenger and his personal Facebook account, and advised them to contact him through his mobile phone. He also warned about fake pages that bear his name.

After 45 years, the World Cup returned to the country to co-host the games alongside Japan and Indonesia. "I can only express how grateful FIBA is to the Philippines and to the City of Manila," Zagklis added.

The police also located the taxi driver involved in the incident, and he will have a chance to face the suspect.

The latest July Labor Force Survey shows that 7,104,00 workers (15.9%) consider themselves “underemployed” – meaning that they either need more hours in their current job, a new job with more working hours, or an additional job to supplement their income.

This figure is higher than the 12.0% in June 2023 and the 13.8% in the same period last year. In fact, it’s the highest underemployment rate since November 2021, when it reached 16.6%.

According to the study, an overwhelming majority of Filipino professionals who participated in the poll (88 percent) still in keep in touch with their former companies, with about a quarter of the number (23 percent) saying this was a way to keep the door open for future job opportunities. Meanwhile, about 33 percent of local professionals have admitted to reaching out to a previous employer in the past two years regarding job opportunities, while 12 percent have expressed the intention to do so.

On the other hand, a whopping 90 percent of employers looking to fill gaps in their manpower list have responded that they would be willing to rehire them for suitable positions, while about 80 percent of managers have said that they will consider welcoming back “good ex-employees.” Eleven percent are open to the idea in general but opt to take a more cautious approach, while only seven percent say they would not consider taking back ex-employees. The last figure is lower compared to the regional average of nine percent.

Maca-Antal, according to Padilla, who hails from Balo-i, Lanao del Norte, happened to have the same name as one Mohammad Said a.k.a. Ama Maas who has nine arrest warrants.

Padilla showed photos of Maca-Antal and Ama Maas, who he said look very different.

He added that in 2018, Maca-Antal had been arrested because of a similar case of mistaken identity and was released by the NBI. Also, he said the NBI issued clearances in 2018 and 2019 saying he had no derogatory record.

Also, he noted the elderly Muslim was in Saudi Arabia from 2001 to October 2011 - and could not have been in the Philippines when one of the crimes involving Amah Maas occurred in July 2011.

Besides, he said Ama Maas died in 2016 during a military operation in Sulu.

MANILA, Philippines — Iniulat ng National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) na kayang lumusot sa "SIM card registration" ang ilang kahina-hinalang identification cards — ito'y matapos mapag-alamang pwedeng makapagrehistro rito kahit hayop ang nasa litrato ng ID.

"We entered the face of an animal and different names. Natanggap pa rin," banggit ni NBI Cybercrime Division chief Jeremy Lotoc nitong Martes ng gabi sa pagdinig ng Senado.

Aniya, sinubukan nilang i-testing ito gamit ang iba't ibang telecommunications company noong Lunes nang gabi bilang bahagi ng kanilang imbestigasyon.

Dagdag ni Lotoc, madali na ngayong gumawa ng government IDs online at magpatong lang basta ng litrato sa ibabaw nito.

Prosecutors have subpoenaed a Baptist bishop linked to the murder of a candidate in the search for Mister Cagayan de Oro early this year.

Regional State Prosecutor Merlynn Barola Uy confirmed on Wednesday, September 6, that a murder complaint had been filed against Lapasan Baptist Church Bishop Dimver Andales and four others.

Andales, an influential preacher closely associated with local politicians, stands accused of masterminding Fornillos’ murder, allegedly due to a love triangle.

Despite the altercation, Bandiola reiterated that he has already forgiven Gonzales, but stressed that there must be strong traffic laws against violating the bike lane.

“Napatawad ko na po sya. Maluwag na po sa dibdib ko,” he emphasized, noting that he prioritizes the safety of his family.

“Siguro masasabi ko lang d’yan Your Honor, lagyan nila ng pangil ‘yung batas ng bike lane, dapat i-respeto po nila,” he stressed.

“Kasi kung meron po talagang nirerespeto ‘yung bike lane, wala pong papasok [na sasakyan] doon e, “ he added.

“China is a friend…but I would state now that hindi ako sang-ayon sa ten-dash-line,” said Duterte. (China is a friend... but I would state now that I do not agree with the ten-dash-line.)

“I am no longer in the government. Pero kung sabihin mo na magsunod ako sa characterization of boundaries nila, hindi ako…As far as I am concerned, ‘yung territory natin is non-negotiable,” the former chief executive said. (I am no longer in government but if you will say that I should follow the characterization of their boundaries, I won't. As far as I'm concerned, our territory is non-negotiable.)
