TWO out of the three suspects in the killing of Misamis Occidental broadcaster Juan “DJ Johnny Walker” Jumalon have been arrested, the Presidential Task Force on Media Security (PTFoMS) said.PTFoMS Executive Director Undersecretary Paul M. Gutierrez identified the arrested suspects as cousins Boboy Sagaray Bongcawel and Renante Saja Bongcawel, both 39 years old.They were arrested on March 15 in Barangay Poblacion, Sapang Dalaga, Misamis Occidental by joint operatives of the Calamba and Sapang Dalaga Municipal Police Stations by virtue of an arrest warrant for murder and theft issued by Calamba Executive Judge Michael Lotao Ajoc of Regional Trial Court Branch 36, 10th Judicial Region. No bail was recommended for their temporary liberty.Boboy allegedly pointed a gun at Jumalon's radio station helper when the helper opened the gate, while Renante served as the getaway motorcycle driver.The gunman, identified as Julito Mangumpit, is still at large."Already, the Misamis Occidental PPO is following up on several leads on Mangumpit's whereabouts," said Gutierrez."Their dedication and unswerving commitment to solve this case is truly commendable,” he added.A total reward of P3.7 million is being offered by the government to those who can help in the apprehension of the suspects.Jumalon was shot twice in the face by the suspect while on live broadcast on Sunday morning, November 5. The suspect snatched the victim’s necklace before fleeing the scene. Investigators are exploring four possible motives: land dispute, business, local politics, and personal reasons. (TPM/SunStar Philippines) The Latest No Deposit Bonus Philippines Philippines TEN local government units (LGUs) in Cebu have announced the temporary suspension of face-to-face (F2F) classes due to the recent increase in the heat index.The heat index is the temperature the human body feels when relative humidity is combined with the air temperature.The LGUs said schools will implement an alternative delivery mode of learning to minimize the disruption on students’ learning. This includes modular distance learning where learners use a self-learning module either in print or digital format that is usually implemented for those living in rural areas or provinces with intermittent internet connection.Lapu-Lapu City, Liloan and Consolacion suspended F2F classes in public schools from kindergarten to high school from Wednesday, April 3, 2024, to April 12.The City of Naga and Talisay City suspended F2F classes in public schools from kindergarten to high school from April 3 to 14. Toledo City and San Fernando suspended F2F classes in public schools from kindergarten to high school from Thursday, April 4, to April 13. Ronda suspended F2F classes in public schools from kindergarten to high school from April 3 to Friday, April 5. Private schools in these eight LGUs have the discretion to decide whether to suspend F2F classes.Minglanilla and Cordova suspended F2F classes in both public and private schools from kindergarten to high school from April 3 until further notice.More LGUsDepartment of Education (DepEd) 7 Director Salustiano Jimenez told SunStar Cebu on Wednesday that he expects more school division superintendents to give him an update on their situation.“So far, there are only three LGUs [that have notified us]. Though I am still waiting for documents from other superintendents [for other suspensions], but so far these are Talisay, Lapu-Lapu and Naga,” he said.He said LGUs also have the authority to suspend F2F classes during typhoons and other calamities.In an interview last March 18, Jimenez said public and private school heads and principals have the discretion and are authorized to shift to modular classes “in cases of unfavorable weather and environment, such as, but not limited to, extremely high temperatures,” under DepEd Order 37 of 2022.The Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT) 7, for its part, welcomed the move of the 10 LGUs.In a statement sent to SunStar Cebu on Wednesday, ACT 7 president Cristopher Abrajano called on other LGUs to exercise their power to suspend classes given the urgency of the matter.He also called on the DepEd 7 to look into the welfare of teachers, saying they have received reports “from the ground that teachers are still made to report to schools to supposedly prepare the modules for parents to collect from school,” which, for them, defeats the logic of suspending F2F classes.Cebu City Schools Division superintendent Nimfa Bongo reminded school principals about their authority to suspend F2F classes due to the continued hot weather. She said F2F should be automatically suspended if the heat index reaches 40 degrees Celsius.Less retentionIn Mandaue City, the Local School Board (LSB) said it plans to adopt a blended learning approach for pupils in elementary and high schools during the last two months of school year (SY) 2023-2024. During an LSB meeting at the Mandaue Science High School in Barangay Ibabao-Estancia on Wednesday, Bianito Dagatan, DepEd Mandaue superintendent, suggested putting in place measures to ensure pupils are still able to effectively learn, as most of them tend to have less knowledge retention without teacher supervision.Mayor Jonas Cortes, who is the LSB chair, supported the idea of blended learning. He said the approach is ideal, especially since pupils are still recovering from the learning gaps caused by the Covid-19 pandemic during which they had to attend full modular classes.Modular learning is an individualized instruction that allows learners to use self-learning modules, either in print or digital format, depending on the pupil’s needs.The LSB said it might implement a blended class setup that will involve dividing students’ class time between F2F and modular classes, as well as shortening class times.This blended class setup may remain in place while the heat index, particularly in Cebu, remains high.Dagatan proposed shortening classes from six hours to three hours and using the remaining three hours for modular activities to be done at home. The classes will be divided into morning sessions from 6 to 9 a.m. and afternoon sessions from 3 to 6 p.m.He said pupils will attend F2F classes on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays for their catch-up classes. They will have modular classes at home on Tuesdays and Thursdays.Concerns Dixie Ortiz, president of Mandaue’s Parents Teachers Association (PTA), was worried about the safety of elementary school pupils if they were to be dismissed at 9 a.m. Ortiz said most parents are already at work by this time, which means children will either have to walk home by themselves or get stuck in school waiting for their parents to fetch them.It will also be difficult for parents with children attending afternoon classes to send them to school, especially if they have work.There are also concerns regarding the lack of drinking water, which prompted the LSB to discuss the provision of at least two tabletop dispensers per floor. This will ensure pupils are well hydrated while attending F2F classes.Cortes announced plans to issue an executive order (EO) that will formalize a decision based on the recommendations of all involved stakeholders. Representatives from school divisions, PTAs, and other school personnel had until 3 p.m. Wednesday to discuss and present their suggestions, which will serve as basis for the mayor’s EO.Cortes said he also asked personnel of the Mandaue City College to discuss their plans and recommendations for blended learning for college students.DepEd orderDagatan said DepEd has issued an order authorizing school superintendents to halt F2F when the heat index reaches 40 degrees Celsius.Schools in Mandaue City continue to hold F2F classes since the heat index in the city has not climbed above 38 degrees Celsius. This week, the weather bureau Pagasa Mactan warned that the heat index in Cebu may reach 51 degrees Celsius in the coming months.Cortes assured that he would revise the EO if the humid weather worsened over time.“As much as we wanted to be reactive, we want to prioritize consultation because our DepEd personnel, principals, and superintendents have a better understanding of the situations in our schools,” he said.Due to the heat, DepEd will shorten SY 2023-2024. It was initially scheduled to end on June 14, but it will now end on May 31 to give way to the gradual return to the old school calendar.The fourth grading periodical test for the current school year will be conducted on May 16 and 17, and the closing or the end-of-school-year rites are slated on May 29, 30 and 31.Earlier this year, Jimenez said the decision to shift the school year’s start back to June was in response to numerous complaints regarding the challenges of conducting classes during the dry hot season that starts every March.SY 2024-2025 will start on July 29 and end on May 16, 2025. He said they will finally be able to revert to the June opening of classes again during the opening of SY 2025-2026 and the succeeding school years. The late start of the school year began in 2020, when the opening of classes was delayed to Oct. 5, taking into account the logistical challenges in areas facing mobility restrictions amid the Covid-19 pandemic.SunStar Cebu earlier reported that when the heat index reaches 51 degrees Celsius, it can cause heat cramps and exhaustion, and prolongued exposure can lead to a heatstroke.Pagasa Visayas weather specialist Jhomer Eclarino attributed the increase in the heat index to the El Niño phenomenon and the ongoing dry, hot summer. He said Cebu typically experiences its highest temperatures in May. On May 31, 2010, also during an El Niño, Cebu recorded a surface temperature of 37 degrees Celsius and heat index of 49 degrees Celsius. / KJF, HIC

LONDON — Kate, the Princess of Wales, has cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy, she revealed Friday in a stunning announcement that followed weeks of speculation about her health and whereabouts.The princess disclosed her condition in a video message recorded Wednesday in Windsor and broadcast Friday. It came after relentless speculation on social media ever since January, when she was hospitalized for unspecified abdominal surgery.Kate asked for “time, space and privacy” while she is treated for an unspecified type of cancer that was discovered after what she described as “major” surgery.Wearing a casual striped sweater and jeans, Kate sat on a wooden bench in front of a lawn dotted with daffodils. The flowers, which bloom in early spring, are often used as a symbol of hope for people fighting cancer.“I am well," she said. "I am getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal.”Kate, 42, hadn’t been seen publicly since Christmas until video surfaced this week of her with her husband, Prince William, heir to the throne. It showed them walking from a shop that sells produce grown on the royal family's Windsor estate.The news is another jolt for the royal family since the announcement last month that King Charles III was being treated for an unspecified type of cancer that was discovered while undergoing a procedure for a benign enlarged prostate.Charles said he is “so proud of Catherine for her courage in speaking as she did,” according to a statement released by Buckingham Palace. The king, who received prostate treatment in the same hospital and at the same time Kate had her surgery, remained in the “closest contact with his beloved daughter-in-law" in the past weeks.The king and Queen Camilla “will continue to offer their love and support to the whole family through this difficult time," the palace said.Prince Harry and his wife Meghan, who have been estranged from William and Kate since their move to California in 2020, wished the princess well.“We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace," they said in a statement.Before Friday, Kensington Palace had given little detail about Kate’s condition beyond saying it wasn’t cancer-related, the surgery was successful and recuperation would keep the princess away from public duties until April. Kate said it had been thought that her condition was non-cancerous until post-surgery tests revealed the diagnosis.“This of course came as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family," she said.By choosing to speak directly to the country and the world about her condition, rather than issuing a statement through the palace, Kate offered a level of intimacy and transparency atypical of a member of the royal family and may help tamp down runaway conjecture. The king’s disclosure of his condition was also notably open by royal standards.Kate said it had taken her time to recover from the surgery before starting “preventative” treatment, which she said was in the early stages.Dr. Shivan Sivakumar, associate professor in oncology at the University of Birmingham, said it’s unclear what the princess meant by “preventative” chemotherapy but he presumed that it’s what is known as “adjuvant” chemotherapy in the medical profession.“This is chemotherapy after an operation to prevent recurrence,” he said. “This is to attempt to destroy any circulating cancer cells.”Kate said it has been “an incredibly tough couple of months” for her family. She said it had taken time to tell her three children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis in a way “appropriate for them” and reassure them she will be OK.The announcement came after the start of the Easter holidays, which will shield the children from media coverage of the news.British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said in a statement that Kate “has shown tremendous bravery.””“We are incredibly sad to hear of the news,” said White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who opened her briefing with reporters moments after news of cancer treatment broke. “We are taking this in, this terrible news, as all of you are.”Charles, 75, has withdrawn from public duties while he has cancer treatment, though he's appeared frequently in photos carrying on meetings with government officials and dignitaries and was even seen going to church.Kate, on the other hand, had been out of view instead of appearing at charity events and promoting causes such as supporting children early in life, leading to weeks of speculation and gossip. Attempts to put rumors to bed by releasing a photo of her on Mother's Day in the U.K. surrounded by her three smiling children backfired when The Associated Press and other news agencies retracted the image because it had been manipulated.Kate issued a statement the next day acknowledging she liked to “experiment with editing” and apologizing for “any confusion” the photo had caused. But that did little to quell the speculation.Even the footage published by The Sun and TMZ that appeared to show Kate and William shopping sparked a new flurry of rumor-mongering, with some armchair sleuths refusing to believe the video showed Kate at all.Earlier this week, a British privacy watchdog said it was investigating a report that staff at the private London hospital where she was treated tried to snoop on her medical records while she was a patient for abdominal surgery.The former Kate Middleton, who married William in a fairy-tale wedding in 2011, has boosted the popularity and appeal of the British monarchy worldwide more than any royal since Princess Diana.The princess is the oldest of three children brought up in a well-to-do neighborhood in Berkshire, west of London. The Middletons have no aristocratic background, and the British press often referred to Kate as a “commoner” marrying into royalty.Her brother James Middleton posted on Instagram: “Over the years, we have climbed many mountains together. As a family, we will climb this one with you too.”Kate attended the private school Marlborough College and then University of St. Andrews in Scotland, where she met William around 2001. Friends and housemates at first, their relationship became widely publicized when they were pictured together on a skiing holiday in Switzerland in 2004.Kate graduated in 2005 with a degree in art history and a budding relationship with the prince.

During an LSB meeting at the Mandaue Science High School in Barangay Ibabao-Estancia on Wednesday, Bianito Dagatan, DepEd Mandaue superintendent, suggested putting in place measures to ensure pupils are still able to effectively learn, as most of them tend to have less knowledge retention without teacher supervision.Mayor Jonas Cortes, who is the LSB chair, supported the idea of blended learning. He said the approach is ideal, especially since pupils are still recovering from the learning gaps caused by the Covid-19 pandemic during which they had to attend full modular classes.Modular learning is an individualized instruction that allows learners to use self-learning modules, either in print or digital format, depending on the pupil’s needs.The LSB said it might implement a blended class setup that will involve dividing students’ class time between F2F and modular classes, as well as shortening class times.This blended class setup may remain in place while the heat index, particularly in Cebu, remains high.Dagatan proposed shortening classes from six hours to three hours and using the remaining three hours for modular activities to be done at home. The classes will be divided into morning sessions from 6 to 9 a.m. and afternoon sessions from 3 to 6 p.m.He said pupils will attend F2F classes on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays for their catch-up classes. They will have modular classes at home on Tuesdays and Thursdays.Concerns Dixie Ortiz, president of Mandaue’s Parents Teachers Association (PTA), was worried about the safety of elementary school pupils if they were to be dismissed at 9 a.m. Ortiz said most parents are already at work by this time, which means children will either have to walk home by themselves or get stuck in school waiting for their parents to fetch them.It will also be difficult for parents with children attending afternoon classes to send them to school, especially if they have work.There are also concerns regarding the lack of drinking water, which prompted the LSB to discuss the provision of at least two tabletop dispensers per floor. This will ensure pupils are well hydrated while attending F2F classes.Cortes announced plans to issue an executive order (EO) that will formalize a decision based on the recommendations of all involved stakeholders. Representatives from school divisions, PTAs, and other school personnel had until 3 p.m. Wednesday to discuss and present their suggestions, which will serve as basis for the mayor’s EO.Cortes said he also asked personnel of the Mandaue City College to discuss their plans and recommendations for blended learning for college students.DepEd orderDagatan said DepEd has issued an order authorizing school superintendents to halt F2F when the heat index reaches 40 degrees Celsius.Schools in Mandaue City continue to hold F2F classes since the heat index in the city has not climbed above 38 degrees Celsius. This week, the weather bureau Pagasa Mactan warned that the heat index in Cebu may reach 51 degrees Celsius in the coming months.Cortes assured that he would revise the EO if the humid weather worsened over time.“As much as we wanted to be reactive, we want to prioritize consultation because our DepEd personnel, principals, and superintendents have a better understanding of the situations in our schools,” he said.Due to the heat, DepEd will shorten SY 2023-2024. It was initially scheduled to end on June 14, but it will now end on May 31 to give way to the gradual return to the old school calendar.The fourth grading periodical test for the current school year will be conducted on May 16 and 17, and the closing or the end-of-school-year rites are slated on May 29, 30 and 31.Earlier this year, Jimenez said the decision to shift the school year’s start back to June was in response to numerous complaints regarding the challenges of conducting classes during the dry hot season that starts every March.SY 2024-2025 will start on July 29 and end on May 16, 2025. He said they will finally be able to revert to the June opening of classes again during the opening of SY 2025-2026 and the succeeding school years. The late start of the school year began in 2020, when the opening of classes was delayed to Oct. 5, taking into account the logistical challenges in areas facing mobility restrictions amid the Covid-19 pandemic.SunStar Cebu earlier reported that when the heat index reaches 51 degrees Celsius, it can cause heat cramps and exhaustion, and prolongued exposure can lead to a heatstroke.Pagasa Visayas weather specialist Jhomer Eclarino attributed the increase in the heat index to the El Niño phenomenon and the ongoing dry, hot summer. He said Cebu typically experiences its highest temperatures in May.

TWO out of the three suspects in the killing of Misamis Occidental broadcaster Juan “DJ Johnny Walker” Jumalon have been arrested, the Presidential Task Force on Media Security (PTFoMS) said.PTFoMS Executive Director Undersecretary Paul M. Gutierrez identified the arrested suspects as cousins Boboy Sagaray Bongcawel and Renante Saja Bongcawel, both 39 years old.They were arrested on March 15 in Barangay Poblacion, Sapang Dalaga, Misamis Occidental by joint operatives of the Calamba and Sapang Dalaga Municipal Police Stations by virtue of an arrest warrant for murder and theft issued by Calamba Executive Judge Michael Lotao Ajoc of Regional Trial Court Branch 36, 10th Judicial Region. No bail was recommended for their temporary liberty.Boboy allegedly pointed a gun at Jumalon's radio station helper when the helper opened the gate, while Renante served as the getaway motorcycle driver.The gunman, identified as Julito Mangumpit, is still at large."Already, the Misamis Occidental PPO is following up on several leads on Mangumpit's whereabouts," said Gutierrez."Their dedication and unswerving commitment to solve this case is truly commendable,” he added.A total reward of P3.7 million is being offered by the government to those who can help in the apprehension of the suspects.Jumalon was shot twice in the face by the suspect while on live broadcast on Sunday morning, November 5. The suspect snatched the victim’s necklace before fleeing the scene. Investigators are exploring four possible motives: land dispute, business, local politics, and personal reasons.

TEN local government units (LGUs) in Cebu have announced the temporary suspension of face-to-face (F2F) classes due to the recent increase in the heat index.The heat index is the temperature the human body feels when relative humidity is combined with the air temperature.The LGUs said schools will implement an alternative delivery mode of learning to minimize the disruption on students’ learning. This includes modular distance learning where learners use a self-learning module either in print or digital format that is usually implemented for those living in rural areas or provinces with intermittent internet connection.Lapu-Lapu City, Liloan and Consolacion suspended F2F classes in public schools from kindergarten to high school from Wednesday, April 3, 2024, to April 12.The City of Naga and Talisay City suspended F2F classes in public schools from kindergarten to high school from April 3 to 14.

On May 31, 2010, also during an El Niño, Cebu recorded a surface temperature of 37 degrees Celsius and heat index of 49 degrees Celsius. / KJF, HIC licensed online casinos LONDON — Kate, the Princess of Wales, has cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy, she revealed Friday in a stunning announcement that followed weeks of speculation about her health and whereabouts.The princess disclosed her condition in a video message recorded Wednesday in Windsor and broadcast Friday. It came after relentless speculation on social media ever since January, when she was hospitalized for unspecified abdominal surgery.Kate asked for “time, space and privacy” while she is treated for an unspecified type of cancer that was discovered after what she described as “major” surgery.Wearing a casual striped sweater and jeans, Kate sat on a wooden bench in front of a lawn dotted with daffodils. The flowers, which bloom in early spring, are often used as a symbol of hope for people fighting cancer.“I am well," she said. "I am getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal.”Kate, 42, hadn’t been seen publicly since Christmas until video surfaced this week of her with her husband, Prince William, heir to the throne. It showed them walking from a shop that sells produce grown on the royal family's Windsor estate.The news is another jolt for the royal family since the announcement last month that King Charles III was being treated for an unspecified type of cancer that was discovered while undergoing a procedure for a benign enlarged prostate.Charles said he is “so proud of Catherine for her courage in speaking as she did,” according to a statement released by Buckingham Palace. The king, who received prostate treatment in the same hospital and at the same time Kate had her surgery, remained in the “closest contact with his beloved daughter-in-law" in the past weeks.The king and Queen Camilla “will continue to offer their love and support to the whole family through this difficult time," the palace said.Prince Harry and his wife Meghan, who have been estranged from William and Kate since their move to California in 2020, wished the princess well.“We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace," they said in a statement.Before Friday, Kensington Palace had given little detail about Kate’s condition beyond saying it wasn’t cancer-related, the surgery was successful and recuperation would keep the princess away from public duties until April. Kate said it had been thought that her condition was non-cancerous until post-surgery tests revealed the diagnosis.“This of course came as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family," she said.By choosing to speak directly to the country and the world about her condition, rather than issuing a statement through the palace, Kate offered a level of intimacy and transparency atypical of a member of the royal family and may help tamp down runaway conjecture. The king’s disclosure of his condition was also notably open by royal standards.Kate said it had taken her time to recover from the surgery before starting “preventative” treatment, which she said was in the early stages.Dr. Shivan Sivakumar, associate professor in oncology at the University of Birmingham, said it’s unclear what the princess meant by “preventative” chemotherapy but he presumed that it’s what is known as “adjuvant” chemotherapy in the medical profession.“This is chemotherapy after an operation to prevent recurrence,” he said. “This is to attempt to destroy any circulating cancer cells.”Kate said it has been “an incredibly tough couple of months” for her family. She said it had taken time to tell her three children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis in a way “appropriate for them” and reassure them she will be OK.The announcement came after the start of the Easter holidays, which will shield the children from media coverage of the news.British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said in a statement that Kate “has shown tremendous bravery.””“We are incredibly sad to hear of the news,” said White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who opened her briefing with reporters moments after news of cancer treatment broke. “We are taking this in, this terrible news, as all of you are.”Charles, 75, has withdrawn from public duties while he has cancer treatment, though he's appeared frequently in photos carrying on meetings with government officials and dignitaries and was even seen going to church.Kate, on the other hand, had been out of view instead of appearing at charity events and promoting causes such as supporting children early in life, leading to weeks of speculation and gossip. Attempts to put rumors to bed by releasing a photo of her on Mother's Day in the U.K. surrounded by her three smiling children backfired when The Associated Press and other news agencies retracted the image because it had been manipulated.Kate issued a statement the next day acknowledging she liked to “experiment with editing” and apologizing for “any confusion” the photo had caused. But that did little to quell the speculation.Even the footage published by The Sun and TMZ that appeared to show Kate and William shopping sparked a new flurry of rumor-mongering, with some armchair sleuths refusing to believe the video showed Kate at all.Earlier this week, a British privacy watchdog said it was investigating a report that staff at the private London hospital where she was treated tried to snoop on her medical records while she was a patient for abdominal surgery.The former Kate Middleton, who married William in a fairy-tale wedding in 2011, has boosted the popularity and appeal of the British monarchy worldwide more than any royal since Princess Diana.The princess is the oldest of three children brought up in a well-to-do neighborhood in Berkshire, west of London. The Middletons have no aristocratic background, and the British press often referred to Kate as a “commoner” marrying into royalty.Her brother James Middleton posted on Instagram: “Over the years, we have climbed many mountains together. As a family, we will climb this one with you too.”Kate attended the private school Marlborough College and then University of St. Andrews in Scotland, where she met William around 2001. Friends and housemates at first, their relationship became widely publicized when they were pictured together on a skiing holiday in Switzerland in 2004.Kate graduated in 2005 with a degree in art history and a budding relationship with the prince.
