Thousands of children in Bukidnon are not in schools but are instead in agricultural fields and business establishments, working for at least 20 hours a week to supplement their families’ incomes.

The DA, which up to this point is still headed by President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., wants P50 million in confidential funds for 2024. This amount is on top of the P2.31 billion in intel funds and P2.25 billion in confidential funds that Marcos will have access to under the Office of the President.

Confidential funds are supposed to be used for “surveillance activities in civilian government agencies that are intended to support the mandate or operations of the said agency.”

The Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) has summoned the distributors of the movie Third World Romance after an unedited trailer was posted without the agency's approval.

MTRCB pointed out that the trailer of the film, which features lead stars Carlo Aquino and Charlie Dizon, is being shown in cinemas and online despite one of the characters uttering profanity.

The scene in question comes at the end of the almost two-minute clip, where Dizon's character, Britney, is depicted to be on the phone with Aquino's character, Alvin, only to discover that her phone's battery has run out.

On Wednesday, August 16, the MTRCB, through its chairperson Diorella "Lala" Sotto-Antonio, issued a "Notice to Appear and Testify" to the movie's distributors, citing the distribution of an "unclassified and unrated version" of the trailer that featured Dizon using the expletive "ptng n".

Sa ilang litrato, makikita sa mga braso ng 14-anyos na dalagitang si “Jannah,” hindi niya tunay na pangalan, ang umanoý mga kalmot sa kaniya ng kakaibang nilalang.

“Obviously, we understand what the problems are — high cost of energy, poor infra, high cost of business,” he said during the briefing of the Development Budget Coordination Committee (DBCC) with the Senate. We’re trying to address those, but what I’m trying to say is that if we (do) address the problem of low incomes by raising the wages by legislative (measures)… then these other factors that are required by investors to come will happen much later,” the NEDA chief added.

Based on immigration records, Sonza was on the active watch list on account of a warrant of arrest for 11 counts of estafa. The warrant was signed by Judge Editha Miña-Aguba of Quezon City RTC Branch 100, according to the immigration spokesperson.

Bernadette Herrera said during the budget briefing.

“As leaders of our province, it is our duty to uphold the values of respect and dignity towards our fellow individuals.

House Assistant Minority Leader Arlene Brosas of the Gabriela party-list filed the measure in House Bill 8859, saying the declaration of August 14 as a National Memorial Day for Comfort Women will honor the bravery and resilience of the comfort women as well as raise awareness about the atrocities they endured during World War 2.
