AUTHORITIES arrested on Thursday, February 15, 2024, a most wanted, internationally-recognized terrorist in an operation in Indanan, Sulu.Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief General Benjamin Acorda Jr. announced in a press conference on Thursday, February 15, 2024, the arrest of Myrna Ajilul Mabanza, 32, during the service of an arrest warrant led by the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) together with the local police around 6:30 a.m. in Barangay Pasil, Indanan, Sulu.Mabanza has a standing arrest warrant for violations of The Terrorism Financing Prevention and Suppression Act of 2012 and The Anti-Terrorism Act of 2020 issued by the Zamboanga Regional Trial Court in December 2023.She was declared by the United States Defense as “Specially Designated Global Terrorist” along with the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) founder Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi and late Daulah Islamiyah-Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) and emir of IS Philippine Isnilon Hapilon.She is a widow of a Malaysian terrorist who was believed to have influenced her by ISIL ideology.CIDG Director Major General Romeo Caramat said Mabanza facilitated the transfer of funds from international financiers to local terrorist leaders, including Hapilon, since 2016.In April 2016, she also helped facilitate the travel of a Jamaah Ansharut Daulah (JAD) representative who traveled from Indonesia to the Philippines for a meeting with Hapilon.The JAD representative traveled to the Philippines to purchase arms for ISIS-aligned forces in Indonesia and to set up training courses for pro-ISIS recruits from Indonesia with ISIS-Philippines.Acorda said the arrest of Mabanza is a big blow to the local terrorist group considering that it will affect their cash flow, which is being used in deploying terrorist attacks.“With regards to the effects on the operations most likely with the arrest of Myrna ang cash flow nila maaapektuhan yan definitely their operations will be affected,” he said.

Philippines TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Taiwan was struck Wednesday, April 4, 2024, by its most powerful earthquake in a quarter of a century. At least nine people were killed and hundreds injured, buildings and highways damaged and dozens of workers at quarries stranded.Taiwan is no stranger to powerful earthquakes yet their toll on the high-tech island's 23 million residents has been relatively contained thanks to its excellent earthquake preparedness, experts say.Here is a closer look at Taiwan’s history of earthquakes:WHY SO MANY TEMBLORS?Taiwan lies along the Pacific “Ring of Fire,” the line of seismic faults encircling the Pacific Ocean where most of the world’s earthquakes occur.The area is particularly vulnerable to temblors due to the tension accumulated from the interactions of two tectonic plates, the Philippine Sea Plate and the Eurasian Plate, which may lead to sudden releases in the form of earthquakes.The region’s mountainous landscape can magnify the ground shaking, leading to landslides. Several such landslides occurred on Taiwan’s eastern coast near the epicenter of Wednesday's quake near eastern Hualien County, when falling debris hit tunnels and highways, crushing vehicles and causing several deaths.HOW WELL-EQUIPPED IS TAIWAN TO HANDLE QUAKES?Wednesday’s earthquake measured 7.2, according to Taiwan’s earthquake monitoring agency, while the US Geological Survey put it at 7.4. It damaged several buildings in Hualien but caused only minor losses in the capital Taipei despite being strongly felt there.The earthquake hit in the middle of the morning rush hour yet only slightly derailed the regular commute. Just minutes later, parents were again walking their children to school and workers driving to offices.“Taiwan’s earthquake preparedness is among the most advanced in the world,” said Stephen Gao, a seismologist and professor at Missouri University of Science and Technology. “The island has implemented strict building codes, a world-class seismological network, and widespread public education campaigns on earthquake safety.”The government continually revises the level of quake resistance required of new and existing buildings — which may increase construction costs — and offers subsidies to residents willing to check their buildings’ quake resistance.Following a 2016 quake in Tainan, on the island’s southwestern coast, five people involved in the construction of a 17-story high-rise apartment building that was the only major structure to have collapsed, killing dozens, were found guilty of negligence and given prison sentences.Taiwan also is pushing quake drills at schools and workplaces while public media and cellphones regularly carry notices about earthquakes and safety.“These measures have significantly enhanced Taiwan’s resilience to earthquakes, helping to mitigate the potential for catastrophic damage and loss of life,” Gao said.THE 1999 QUAKE WAS A WAKE-UP CALLTaiwan and its surrounding waters have registered about 2,000 earthquakes with a magnitude of 4.0 or greater since 1980, and more than 100 earthquakes with a magnitude above 5.5, according to the USGS.The island’s worst quake in recent years struck on September 21, 1999, with a magnitude of 7.7. It caused 2,400 deaths, injured around 100,000 and destroyed thousands of buildings.It was also a major wake-up call that led to key administrative reforms to improve emergency response and disaster reduction, according to Daniel Aldrich, professor of political science and public policy at Northeastern University.“Observers strongly criticized Taiwan’s response to the 21 September 1999 earthquake, arguing that it took hours for emergency medical response teams to arrive, that rescuers lacked training, and that the operations between government agencies were not well coordinated," he wrote in an email. As a result, the government passed the Disaster Prevention and Protection Act and set up two national centers to handle coordination and training for earthquakes.“I think we’re seeing the results in this most recent shock,” he said.

THE Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA) has implemented the takeover of the Metropolitan Cebu Water District’s (MCWD) policy-making authority effective Friday, March 15, 2024 for a period of six months.In a letter addressed to MCWD chairman Jose Daluz III and MCWD general manager Edgar Donoso, LWUA administrator Jose Moises Salonga announced the partial intervention, which is authorized by Resolution No. 35, s. of 2023 duly approved by the LWUA Board of Trustees in accordance with Presidential Decree No. 198, as amended.Salonga said he was sending his representative, Deputy Administrator Eileen L. dela Vega, to oversee the installation Friday of the following LWUA officers whom he has designated as members of the Interim Board of Directors (BOD) of MCWD for a period of six months.The interim members of the BOD are Maria Rosan D. Perez, and engineers Noel A. Samonte and Anabelle C. Gravador.“Under Resolution No. 35, s. 2023 as supported by Resolution No. 36, s. 2012, all members of the current Regular Board of Directors shall be set aside and shall cease and desist from exercising their functions during the period of LWUA’s intervention,” Salonga said in the letter. In a phone interview on Friday, MCWD chairman Jose Daluz III confirmed the implementation of the takeover of its policy-making authority, saying that the five board members—Daluz, Miguelito Pato and Jodelyn May Seno appointed by the late mayor Edgardo Labella, and lawyers Danilo Ortiz and Earl Bonachita appointed by Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama—would abide by LWUA’s decision.“We will abide by the order of the LWUA. I think that is for the best interest of the MCWD,” Daluz said.Asked what will happen after six months of intervention, Daluz said he does not know yet if LWUA will finally remove them.Daluz said the intervention also applies to the board appointed by Rama.“All of us five board members, the two appointed by Mike, the three appointed by the late mayor Edgardo Labella will step down and let LWUA function as the board. I will abide,” Daluz said.Since Oct. 31, 2023, there have been two boards in the MCWD, one led by Daluz and the other led by retired Major General Melquiades Feliciano. On that day, Rama appointed Feliciano, Aristotle Batuhan and Nelson Yuvallos to replace Daluz and board members Pato and Seno, whom he had ousted on Aug. 17, 2023.Existing board members Ortiz and Bonachita, who were not fired with the trio, renewed their oath, as they supported Rama’s appointment of the board’s three new members. In a press conference on Nov. 7, 2023, then-City legal officer and now Budget Officer Jerone Castillo said the City had requested a certificate of no objection to the trio’s termination from the LWUA board of trustees. However, the response letter, dated Oct. 17, 2023, received on Nov. 6, 2023, did not come from the board of trustees, but from the administrator.Castillo questioned the legality of LWUA’s letter, noting that it came from the administrator rather than the board of trustees, as requested by the City government. He argued that without the board’s approval, the letter holds no legal weight and is merely an opinion.The LWUA letter, signed by lawyers Vicente Homer Revil and Roberto San Andres, asserted that local executives lack the authority to remove the chairperson and members of the board of directors of a water district. Citing Section 7 of PD 198, LWUA said that upon forming a water district, local governments lose ownership, supervision and control over the district, except as provided therein.LWUA also referenced DILG Memorandum Circular 2016-146, which emphasizes that water districts are autonomous agencies independent of local governments and should operate without hindrance or interference, but with maximum support and assistance.On Feb. 19, 2024, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. appointed lawyer Salonga as the new administrator of the LWUA, the regulatory body overseeing water districts in the country.

He argued that without the board’s approval, the letter holds no legal weight and is merely an opinion.The LWUA letter, signed by lawyers Vicente Homer Revil and Roberto San Andres, asserted that local executives lack the authority to remove the chairperson and members of the board of directors of a water district. Citing Section 7 of PD 198, LWUA said that upon forming a water district, local governments lose ownership, supervision and control over the district, except as provided therein.LWUA also referenced DILG Memorandum Circular 2016-146, which emphasizes that water districts are autonomous agencies independent of local governments and should operate without hindrance or interference, but with maximum support and assistance.On Feb. 19, 2024, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. appointed lawyer Salonga as the new administrator of the LWUA, the regulatory body overseeing water districts in the country.

Gambling in the Philippines 2023 – the Latest Trends

TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Taiwan was struck Wednesday, April 4, 2024, by its most powerful earthquake in a quarter of a century. At least nine people were killed and hundreds injured, buildings and highways damaged and dozens of workers at quarries stranded.Taiwan is no stranger to powerful earthquakes yet their toll on the high-tech island's 23 million residents has been relatively contained thanks to its excellent earthquake preparedness, experts say.Here is a closer look at Taiwan’s history of earthquakes:WHY SO MANY TEMBLORS?Taiwan lies along the Pacific “Ring of Fire,” the line of seismic faults encircling the Pacific Ocean where most of the world’s earthquakes occur.The area is particularly vulnerable to temblors due to the tension accumulated from the interactions of two tectonic plates, the Philippine Sea Plate and the Eurasian Plate, which may lead to sudden releases in the form of earthquakes.The region’s mountainous landscape can magnify the ground shaking, leading to landslides. Several such landslides occurred on Taiwan’s eastern coast near the epicenter of Wednesday's quake near eastern Hualien County, when falling debris hit tunnels and highways, crushing vehicles and causing several deaths.HOW WELL-EQUIPPED IS TAIWAN TO HANDLE QUAKES?Wednesday’s earthquake measured 7.2, according to Taiwan’s earthquake monitoring agency, while the US Geological Survey put it at 7.4. It damaged several buildings in Hualien but caused only minor losses in the capital Taipei despite being strongly felt there.The earthquake hit in the middle of the morning rush hour yet only slightly derailed the regular commute. Just minutes later, parents were again walking their children to school and workers driving to offices.“Taiwan’s earthquake preparedness is among the most advanced in the world,” said Stephen Gao, a seismologist and professor at Missouri University of Science and Technology. “The island has implemented strict building codes, a world-class seismological network, and widespread public education campaigns on earthquake safety.”The government continually revises the level of quake resistance required of new and existing buildings — which may increase construction costs — and offers subsidies to residents willing to check their buildings’ quake resistance.Following a 2016 quake in Tainan, on the island’s southwestern coast, five people involved in the construction of a 17-story high-rise apartment building that was the only major structure to have collapsed, killing dozens, were found guilty of negligence and given prison sentences.Taiwan also is pushing quake drills at schools and workplaces while public media and cellphones regularly carry notices about earthquakes and safety.“These measures have significantly enhanced Taiwan’s resilience to earthquakes, helping to mitigate the potential for catastrophic damage and loss of life,” Gao said.THE 1999 QUAKE WAS A WAKE-UP CALLTaiwan and its surrounding waters have registered about 2,000 earthquakes with a magnitude of 4.0 or greater since 1980, and more than 100 earthquakes with a magnitude above 5.5, according to the USGS.The island’s worst quake in recent years struck on September 21, 1999, with a magnitude of 7.7. It caused 2,400 deaths, injured around 100,000 and destroyed thousands of buildings.It was also a major wake-up call that led to key administrative reforms to improve emergency response and disaster reduction, according to Daniel Aldrich, professor of political science and public policy at Northeastern University.“Observers strongly criticized Taiwan’s response to the 21 September 1999 earthquake, arguing that it took hours for emergency medical response teams to arrive, that rescuers lacked training, and that the operations between government agencies were not well coordinated," he wrote in an email. As a result, the government passed the Disaster Prevention and Protection Act and set up two national centers to handle coordination and training for earthquakes.“I think we’re seeing the results in this most recent shock,” he said.
