SENATOR Imee Marcos urged his brother, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., to stand firm and put an end to the People’s Initiative (PI), which seeks to amend the 1987 constitution.“Until now, he says that we need to study it [and] consult legal luminaries. The Commission on Elections, on its own, has said that the signatures are still alive -- there’s no deadline, there’s no expiry date, and they can be used and recycled for future effort. Let’s set that aside. It’s illegally and unconstitutionally obtained. Let us not let this happen,” Senator Marcos said in a television interview on Thursday, February 1, 2024.“Perhaps, he can make a very firm and clear stand. Put an end to the PI, and let’s do this properly together, and there will be no controversy,” she added.The House of Representatives and the Senate have disagreeing positions on the PI amid claims of it being used for corruption.Marcos: Admin reviewing other modes to amend ConstitutionSenator Marcos accused her cousin, House Speaker Martin Romualdez, of granting monetary reward to the tune of P20 million per legislative district in exchange of signatures for the PI.Romualdez denied the accusations as he maintained any involvement for the push for PI.Romualdez hits back at Duterte over ‘budol’ statementsSenator Marcos, chairperson of the Senate Committee on Electoral Reforms, launched an investigation on the alleged anomalies related to PI as the Senate unanimously approved a manifesto rejecting constitutional amendment through PI.During the hearing, People’s Initiative for Modernization and Reform Action (Pirma) lead convenor Noel Oñate admitted that he sought help from Romualdez in order to boost the signature drive, particularly to get three percent of signatures per congressional district.On Wednesday, January 31, 2024, Marcos said his administration is working with allies to identify the best mode to amend the Constitution but he is not certain if PI would remain as one of the options.He also urged the Senate and the House of Representatives to come up with a simpler solution that does not cause so much controversy.Meanwhile, Senator Marcos also called on the Department of Justice (DOJ) to echo President Marcos’ stand on issues surrounding the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) investigation on the alleged crimes against humanities in the country under the drug war of the administration of former President Rodrigo Duterte."With the ICC, let's have the DOJ and all their employees, undersecretaries, and what have you, echo the President's message that there should be an end to this. This should be clear," she said."I am confused by the stand of the administration. The President says 100 percent 'no.' The DOJ says, 'well, if they come, we'll entertain them' or 'they're just here... as observers.' Ano 'yon? Parang turistang namasyal pero iniinterview ang mga testigo? Nalalabuan ako e. Gusto ko talaga marinig kung ano e (What's that? A tourist interviewing witnesses? I'm confused. I really want to hear what it really is)," she added.Earlier, Senator Marcos said she will continue to stand up for the Dutertes, noting that the former President was the reason for her father’s transfer to the Libingan ng Mga Bayani, which for her was a sign of “true friendship.”Senator Marcos expressed belief that the ICC investigation was one of the factors that prompted former President Duterte to verbally attack his brother.During the prayer rally on Sunday, January 28, former President Duterte tagged President Marcos as “drug addict” and “bangag,” the local term used to describe a person who is high on illegal drugs.In response, President Marcos said his predecessor’s outburst could be due to fentanyl, a regulated pain reliever that the former President admitted to be over-using due to migraine and spinal issues.Former President Duterte dared his successor for them to undergo drug tests in Luneta.He also noted that the medicine was prescribed to him by his doctors."Fentanyl is a medical thing, it eases up the pain. Pero nung naoperahan na ako, okay na ako (But when I had the surgery, I was fine) and that was about eight or seven years ago, shortly before I run for presidency. Nagkaroon ako nang... talagang masakit. Itong fentanyl po, Mr. President, it is prescribed by a doctor. With prescription yan," Duterte said."Ngayon bumwelta ka sa akin ng ganon (fentanyl use), tatanungin kita yung cocaine may prescription ba yan? Saan mo kinukuha yang supply mo?" he added.(Now you’re using that (fentanyl use) argument with me. I'll ask you about the cocaine, does it have a prescription? Where do you get your supply?)Marcos earlier maintained that the ICC has no jurisdiction over the country but according to former senator Antonio Trillanes IV, he obtained information that investigators from the ICC have gathered enough evidence against former President Duterte in relation to his drug war when they visited the country in December.Trillanes said an arrest warrant against the former President may be out “very very soon.”Despite the exchange of attacks between the former and the concurrent presidents of the Republic, President Marcos maintained that his relationship with Vice President Sara Duterte is still vibrant and that their Uniteam remains intact.Senator Marcos said she will also do anything to save the Uniteam.In a statement issued on Wednesday, Vice President Duterte said she respects the opinion of his father and that there is no need for her to agree with him."Taos puso po akong nagpapasalamat kay Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. para sa kanyang patuloy na tiwala at kompyansa sa akin bilang kalihim ng Kagawaran ng Edukasyon," she said.(I sincerely thank President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. for his continued trust and confidence in me as secretary of the Department of Education.)"Mahalaga ang kanyang pagkilala sa papel ng lahat ng bumubuo ng Department of Education sa pagsulong ng 8-point Socioeconomic Agenda ng Marcos administration para sa isang Bagong Pilipinas. Nagpapasalamat in ako kay Apo BBM sa kanyang paggalang sa aking mga paninidigan," she added.(His recognition of the role of all the members of the Department of Education in promoting the 8-point Socioeconomic Agenda of the Marcos administration for a New Philippines is important.

Philippines THE prices of rice may continue to increase until July 2024, said the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) on Friday, April 5, 2024.In a press conference, PSA director Dennis Mapa noted the record-breaking 24.4 percent rice inflation in March 2024 from 23.7 percent in February 2024.The March 2024 rice inflation is the highest over the past 15 years from 24.6 percent in February 2009.“Our expectation is it will increase strongly until July because of mababang base effect… unless there is an intervention that will happen in the market that will bring down prices,” he said, adding that prices of rice may gradually slow down by August 2024.Mapa said price adjustments on regular and well-milled and special rice recorded a higher year-on-year increments.He said that in March 2023, regular milled rice only costs P39.90 per kilograms but now, it is up at P51.11 per kilogram, while price of well-milled rice shoot up to P56.44 per kilogram from P44.23 per kilogram during the same month last year.Prices of special rice went up approximately by P10 per kilo over the past year.The country’s headline inflation rate slightly accelerated in March 2024 at 3.7 percent.In a statement Albay Second District Representative Joey Salceda, who is also an economist, reiterated that managing the prices of rice is the key in calming down the inflation or the increase of prices of goods and services at a given time.He said that 57 percent of the March 2024 inflation came from higher food prices.If not with the higher food inflation, headline inflation rate could have been as low as 3.1 percent “which is well within acceptable range.”“Corn prices are declining. Fish prices are down. Vegetables are cheaper this year than last year. And even sugar prices are slightly down. Bread prices are mildly up, but that is attributable partly due to the correlated prices of wheat and rice, especially in India where they are substitutes. The game plan must be focused on rice,” said Salceda.The lawmaker, however, commended the Department of Agriculture, under Secretary Francisco Tiu-Laurel, for the significant progress he made in the agency, particularly in being more aggressive with distributing rice production support this quarter.“He has brought machinery distribution, for example, to about 92 percent of target. The P12-billion rice farmer financial assistance is also set to be completed this June – again, just in time for planting,” Salceda said.“There is significant progress being made in the DA, and his governance cleanup of the NFA will also help make cheap rice available to the poor, as well as provide a better market for rice farmers,” he added.He also warned against the impact of the El Niño phenomenon especially on rice which requires the most irrigation.

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden said Thursday that U.S. defense commitment to Pacific allies was “ironclad” as he gathered Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida at the White House in the midst of growing concern about provocative Chinese military action in the Indo-Pacific.The U.S. and the Philippines have had a mutual treaty in place for more than 70 years. Biden's forceful reinforcement of the American commitment comes in the midst of persistent skirmishes between the Philippine and Chinese coast guards in the disputed South China Sea. “The United States defense commitments to Japan and to the Philippines are ironclad. They’re ironclad," Biden said as he began three-way talks at the White House with Kishida and Marcos. "As I said before, any attack on Philippine aircraft, vessels or armed forces in the South China Sea would invoke our mutual defense treaty.”Relations between China and the Philippines have been repeatedly tested by confrontations involving the two nations’ coast guard vessels in the disputed South China Sea. Chinese coast guard ships also regularly approach disputed Japanese-controlled East China Sea islands near Taiwan.The so-called “gray-zone” harassment by China has included shining military-grade lasers at the Philippine Coast Guard, firing water cannons at vessels and ramming into Philippine ships near the Second Thomas Shoal, which both Manila and Beijing claim. In 1999, Manila intentionally ran a World War II–era ship aground on the shoal, establishing a permanent military presence there.Biden, in a wide-ranging phone call with Chinese President Xi Jinping last week, raised concerns about China’s operations in the South China Sea, including efforts to impede the Philippines from resupplying its forces on the Second Thomas Shoal.Chinese officials have bristled at criticism over their action in the South China Sea and blamed the U.S. for exacerbating tensions.“No one should violate China’s territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests, and China remains steadfast in safeguarding our lawful rights,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said Thursday.The White House billed the first-ever trilateral summit with Japan and the Philippines as a potent response to China’s attempts at “intimidation” and said it sould send a message that China is “the outlier in the neighborhood,” according to an administration official. The White House said in a statement that Biden and Marcos during the talks “underscored their commitment to international law in the South China Sea" and reaffirmed their countries' treaty obligations to defend each other.The leaders also announced joint patrols in the Indo-Pacific this year, a follow-up on law enforcement drills carried out last year by the allies in waters near the South China Sea. The U.S. Coast Guard will also welcome Philippine and Japanese coast guard members onto a U.S. Coast Guard vessel during the patrol for training, according to senior Biden administration officials who insisted on anonymity to preview the talks.The summit followed Biden's one-on-one talks and glitzy state dinner Wednesday at the White House for the Japanese premier, a diplomatic honor meant to recognize Tokyo's growing clout on the global stage. White House officials said they were aiming to send a clear signal that the Democratic administration remains determined to build what it calls a “latticework” of alliances in the Indo-Pacific even as it grapples with the Israel-Hamas war and Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine. Biden also hosted Marcos for a private meeting at the White House ahead of the three-way talks."Today’s summit is an opportunity to define the future that we want, and how we intend to achieve it together," Marcos said.Biden also announced that the three nations were launching a a new economic corridor in the Philippines as part of the G7 Partnership for Global Infrastructure Investment that would help develop clean energy, port, agriculture and other projects in the country. Biden said the leaders were forging a “new era” and predicted “a great deal of history in our world will be written in the Indo-Pacific in the coming years.”The United States, the United Kingdom and Japan on Wednesday announced joint military exercises in the Indo-Pacific in 2025. That followed the Pentagon revealing earlier this week that the U.S., the U.K. and Australia were considering including Japan in the AUKUS partnership, a grouping launched in 2021 that aims to equip Australia with nuclear-powered and conventionally armed submarines.Kishida visited Capitol Hill on Thursday for an address to U.S. lawmakers that focused on the need to strengthen the partnership between the U.S. and Japan at a time of tension in the Asia-Pacific and skepticism in Congress about U.S. involvement abroad. He offered concern about “the undercurrent of self-doubt among some Americans about what your role in the world should be.”Biden has made improving relations with the Philippines a priority since Marcos became the country's president in June 2022. The relationship has had ups and downs over the years and was in a difficult place when Marcos took office. Human rights groups said Marcos’ predecessor Rodrigo Duterte's “war on drugs” resulted in thousands of extrajudicial killings.Marcos, the son and namesake of the country’s former dictator, said as a candidate he would look to pursue closer ties with China. But he has increasingly drifted toward Washington amid concerns about China’s coercive action.Biden hosted him for talks at the White House last year, the first Washington visit by a Philippine president in over a decade. Biden also met him on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly soon after Marcos took office, and dispatched Vice President Kamala Harris to Manila in 2022 to meet him.Last year, the Philippines agreed to give the U.S. access to four more bases on the islands.

Where do you get your supply?)Marcos earlier maintained that the ICC has no jurisdiction over the country but according to former senator Antonio Trillanes IV, he obtained information that investigators from the ICC have gathered enough evidence against former President Duterte in relation to his drug war when they visited the country in December.Trillanes said an arrest warrant against the former President may be out “very very soon.”Despite the exchange of attacks between the former and the concurrent presidents of the Republic, President Marcos maintained that his relationship with Vice President Sara Duterte is still vibrant and that their Uniteam remains intact.Senator Marcos said she will also do anything to save the Uniteam.In a statement issued on Wednesday, Vice President Duterte said she respects the opinion of his father and that there is no need for her to agree with him."Taos puso po akong nagpapasalamat kay Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. para sa kanyang patuloy na tiwala at kompyansa sa akin bilang kalihim ng Kagawaran ng Edukasyon," she said.(I sincerely thank President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. for his continued trust and confidence in me as secretary of the Department of Education.)"Mahalaga ang kanyang pagkilala sa papel ng lahat ng bumubuo ng Department of Education sa pagsulong ng 8-point Socioeconomic Agenda ng Marcos administration para sa isang Bagong Pilipinas.

THE prices of rice may continue to increase until July 2024, said the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) on Friday, April 5, 2024.In a press conference, PSA director Dennis Mapa noted the record-breaking 24.4 percent rice inflation in March 2024 from 23.7 percent in February 2024.The March 2024 rice inflation is the highest over the past 15 years from 24.6 percent in February 2009.“Our expectation is it will increase strongly until July because of mababang base effect… unless there is an intervention that will happen in the market that will bring down prices,” he said, adding that prices of rice may gradually slow down by August 2024.Mapa said price adjustments on regular and well-milled and special rice recorded a higher year-on-year increments.He said that in March 2023, regular milled rice only costs P39.90 per kilograms but now, it is up at P51.11 per kilogram, while price of well-milled rice shoot up to P56.44 per kilogram from P44.23 per kilogram during the same month last year.Prices of special rice went up approximately by P10 per kilo over the past year.The country’s headline inflation rate slightly accelerated in March 2024 at 3.7 percent.In a statement Albay Second District Representative Joey Salceda, who is also an economist, reiterated that managing the prices of rice is the key in calming down the inflation or the increase of prices of goods and services at a given time.He said that 57 percent of the March 2024 inflation came from higher food prices.If not with the higher food inflation, headline inflation rate could have been as low as 3.1 percent “which is well within acceptable range.”“Corn prices are declining. Fish prices are down. Vegetables are cheaper this year than last year. And even sugar prices are slightly down. Bread prices are mildly up, but that is attributable partly due to the correlated prices of wheat and rice, especially in India where they are substitutes. The game plan must be focused on rice,” said Salceda.The lawmaker, however, commended the Department of Agriculture, under Secretary Francisco Tiu-Laurel, for the significant progress he made in the agency, particularly in being more aggressive with distributing rice production support this quarter.“He has brought machinery distribution, for example, to about 92 percent of target. The P12-billion rice farmer financial assistance is also set to be completed this June – again, just in time for planting,” Salceda said.“There is significant progress being made in the DA, and his governance cleanup of the NFA will also help make cheap rice available to the poor, as well as provide a better market for rice farmers,” he added.He also warned against the impact of the El Niño phenomenon especially on rice which requires the most irrigation.

SENATOR Imee Marcos urged his brother, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., to stand firm and put an end to the People’s Initiative (PI), which seeks to amend the 1987 constitution.“Until now, he says that we need to study it [and] consult legal luminaries. The Commission on Elections, on its own, has said that the signatures are still alive -- there’s no deadline, there’s no expiry date, and they can be used and recycled for future effort. Let’s set that aside. It’s illegally and unconstitutionally obtained. Let us not let this happen,” Senator Marcos said in a television interview on Thursday, February 1, 2024.“Perhaps, he can make a very firm and clear stand. Put an end to the PI, and let’s do this properly together, and there will be no controversy,” she added.The House of Representatives and the Senate have disagreeing positions on the PI amid claims of it being used for corruption.Marcos: Admin reviewing other modes to amend ConstitutionSenator Marcos accused her cousin, House Speaker Martin Romualdez, of granting monetary reward to the tune of P20 million per legislative district in exchange of signatures for the PI.Romualdez denied the accusations as he maintained any involvement for the push for PI.Romualdez hits back at Duterte over ‘budol’ statementsSenator Marcos, chairperson of the Senate Committee on Electoral Reforms, launched an investigation on the alleged anomalies related to PI as the Senate unanimously approved a manifesto rejecting constitutional amendment through PI.During the hearing, People’s Initiative for Modernization and Reform Action (Pirma) lead convenor Noel Oñate admitted that he sought help from Romualdez in order to boost the signature drive, particularly to get three percent of signatures per congressional district.On Wednesday, January 31, 2024, Marcos said his administration is working with allies to identify the best mode to amend the Constitution but he is not certain if PI would remain as one of the options.He also urged the Senate and the House of Representatives to come up with a simpler solution that does not cause so much controversy.Meanwhile, Senator Marcos also called on the Department of Justice (DOJ) to echo President Marcos’ stand on issues surrounding the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) investigation on the alleged crimes against humanities in the country under the drug war of the administration of former President Rodrigo Duterte."With the ICC, let's have the DOJ and all their employees, undersecretaries, and what have you, echo the President's message that there should be an end to this. This should be clear," she said."I am confused by the stand of the administration. The President says 100 percent 'no.' The DOJ says, 'well, if they come, we'll entertain them' or 'they're just here... as observers.' Ano 'yon? Parang turistang namasyal pero iniinterview ang mga testigo? Nalalabuan ako e. Gusto ko talaga marinig kung ano e (What's that? A tourist interviewing witnesses? I'm confused. I really want to hear what it really is)," she added.Earlier, Senator Marcos said she will continue to stand up for the Dutertes, noting that the former President was the reason for her father’s transfer to the Libingan ng Mga Bayani, which for her was a sign of “true friendship.”Senator Marcos expressed belief that the ICC investigation was one of the factors that prompted former President Duterte to verbally attack his brother.During the prayer rally on Sunday, January 28, former President Duterte tagged President Marcos as “drug addict” and “bangag,” the local term used to describe a person who is high on illegal drugs.In response, President Marcos said his predecessor’s outburst could be due to fentanyl, a regulated pain reliever that the former President admitted to be over-using due to migraine and spinal issues.Former President Duterte dared his successor for them to undergo drug tests in Luneta.He also noted that the medicine was prescribed to him by his doctors."Fentanyl is a medical thing, it eases up the pain. Pero nung naoperahan na ako, okay na ako (But when I had the surgery, I was fine) and that was about eight or seven years ago, shortly before I run for presidency. Nagkaroon ako nang... talagang masakit. Itong fentanyl po, Mr. President, it is prescribed by a doctor. With prescription yan," Duterte said."Ngayon bumwelta ka sa akin ng ganon (fentanyl use), tatanungin kita yung cocaine may prescription ba yan? Saan mo kinukuha yang supply mo?" he added.(Now you’re using that (fentanyl use) argument with me. I'll ask you about the cocaine, does it have a prescription?

(TPM/SunStar Philippines) licensed online casinos WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden said Thursday that U.S. defense commitment to Pacific allies was “ironclad” as he gathered Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida at the White House in the midst of growing concern about provocative Chinese military action in the Indo-Pacific.The U.S. and the Philippines have had a mutual treaty in place for more than 70 years. Biden's forceful reinforcement of the American commitment comes in the midst of persistent skirmishes between the Philippine and Chinese coast guards in the disputed South China Sea. “The United States defense commitments to Japan and to the Philippines are ironclad. They’re ironclad," Biden said as he began three-way talks at the White House with Kishida and Marcos. "As I said before, any attack on Philippine aircraft, vessels or armed forces in the South China Sea would invoke our mutual defense treaty.”Relations between China and the Philippines have been repeatedly tested by confrontations involving the two nations’ coast guard vessels in the disputed South China Sea. Chinese coast guard ships also regularly approach disputed Japanese-controlled East China Sea islands near Taiwan.The so-called “gray-zone” harassment by China has included shining military-grade lasers at the Philippine Coast Guard, firing water cannons at vessels and ramming into Philippine ships near the Second Thomas Shoal, which both Manila and Beijing claim. In 1999, Manila intentionally ran a World War II–era ship aground on the shoal, establishing a permanent military presence there.Biden, in a wide-ranging phone call with Chinese President Xi Jinping last week, raised concerns about China’s operations in the South China Sea, including efforts to impede the Philippines from resupplying its forces on the Second Thomas Shoal.Chinese officials have bristled at criticism over their action in the South China Sea and blamed the U.S. for exacerbating tensions.“No one should violate China’s territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests, and China remains steadfast in safeguarding our lawful rights,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said Thursday.The White House billed the first-ever trilateral summit with Japan and the Philippines as a potent response to China’s attempts at “intimidation” and said it sould send a message that China is “the outlier in the neighborhood,” according to an administration official. The White House said in a statement that Biden and Marcos during the talks “underscored their commitment to international law in the South China Sea" and reaffirmed their countries' treaty obligations to defend each other.The leaders also announced joint patrols in the Indo-Pacific this year, a follow-up on law enforcement drills carried out last year by the allies in waters near the South China Sea. The U.S. Coast Guard will also welcome Philippine and Japanese coast guard members onto a U.S. Coast Guard vessel during the patrol for training, according to senior Biden administration officials who insisted on anonymity to preview the talks.The summit followed Biden's one-on-one talks and glitzy state dinner Wednesday at the White House for the Japanese premier, a diplomatic honor meant to recognize Tokyo's growing clout on the global stage. White House officials said they were aiming to send a clear signal that the Democratic administration remains determined to build what it calls a “latticework” of alliances in the Indo-Pacific even as it grapples with the Israel-Hamas war and Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine. Biden also hosted Marcos for a private meeting at the White House ahead of the three-way talks."Today’s summit is an opportunity to define the future that we want, and how we intend to achieve it together," Marcos said.Biden also announced that the three nations were launching a a new economic corridor in the Philippines as part of the G7 Partnership for Global Infrastructure Investment that would help develop clean energy, port, agriculture and other projects in the country. Biden said the leaders were forging a “new era” and predicted “a great deal of history in our world will be written in the Indo-Pacific in the coming years.”The United States, the United Kingdom and Japan on Wednesday announced joint military exercises in the Indo-Pacific in 2025. That followed the Pentagon revealing earlier this week that the U.S., the U.K. and Australia were considering including Japan in the AUKUS partnership, a grouping launched in 2021 that aims to equip Australia with nuclear-powered and conventionally armed submarines.Kishida visited Capitol Hill on Thursday for an address to U.S. lawmakers that focused on the need to strengthen the partnership between the U.S. and Japan at a time of tension in the Asia-Pacific and skepticism in Congress about U.S. involvement abroad. He offered concern about “the undercurrent of self-doubt among some Americans about what your role in the world should be.”Biden has made improving relations with the Philippines a priority since Marcos became the country's president in June 2022. The relationship has had ups and downs over the years and was in a difficult place when Marcos took office. Human rights groups said Marcos’ predecessor Rodrigo Duterte's “war on drugs” resulted in thousands of extrajudicial killings.Marcos, the son and namesake of the country’s former dictator, said as a candidate he would look to pursue closer ties with China. But he has increasingly drifted toward Washington amid concerns about China’s coercive action.Biden hosted him for talks at the White House last year, the first Washington visit by a Philippine president in over a decade. Biden also met him on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly soon after Marcos took office, and dispatched Vice President Kamala Harris to Manila in 2022 to meet him.Last year, the Philippines agreed to give the U.S. access to four more bases on the islands.
