THE Commission on Appointments (CA) bypassed on Tuesday, March 19, 2024, the confirmation of Colonel Ranulfo Sevilla to a one-star rank Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) general following the opposition of his estranged wife, who accused him of adultery and abuse, Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri said.In an interview with reporters, Zubiri, chairperson of the CA, said the commission wanted to ensure, through a letter or a contract, that his family, particularly his children, will get sufficient financial support from him.“So to give it more time for the documentation to be completed, they moved to bypass him. He has to come back for his consideration,” he said.CA committee on national defense chairperson Representative Jurdin Jesus Romualdo said Sevilla, currently the deputy commander of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP)-Special Operations Command based in Fort Magsaysay, Nueva Ecija, will revert back to his rank as colonel.During the CA committee hearing, Romualdo scolded Sevilla after claiming that he is not aware that there was an agreed amount of financial support, which he needs to fulfill to his two children, during an executive session last week. The agreed amount was half of his basic pay.Sevilla said that immediately after last week’s hearing, he sent funds to his wife, heeding the call of the commission."Hindi po ‘to ang nakarating sa akin. I was just told to offer. But if the committee so desires, I am willing to submit to that dahil alam ko naman po para sa mga anak ko… I am willing to change the letter that I wrote immediately after this just to comply with that but honestly your honor, I was not totally informed that amount. I was just told to offer an amount and I was not informed if that amount is already enough," he said."Nag-usap man tayo from 65 to 50 [percent], gusto mo nga in writing 'yun. Sabi mo nga eh, 50 tapos sabi mo hindi mo kaya hanggang bumaba ka pa nga ng 30. We mentioned the amount please 'wag ka naman magsinungaling. Tinutulungan na nga kita," Romualdo responded.In a bid to secure his promotion, Sevilla said he is “very much willing” to submit to the desire of the CA.“Kahit maiwan na lang po sa akin ang para sa pagkain ko, your honor,” he said.Last week, Sevilla’s wife, Tessa Luz Reyes-Sevilla, personally came to the Senate and testified against his ad-interim appointment, saying that he does not deserve it.Sevilla has four children currently under the care of his wife but two of them have different mothers.Reyes-Sevilla said they are only receiving a P2,000 monthly allowance from the army general.She was also physically abused by Sevilla, who is now living with another woman inside his residence at the AFP camp.In an interview on Tuesday, Reyes-Sevilla said that despite that her husband already promised to give them financial support, he is still not deserving of the promotion.“Yes I am all for him settling the obligations that he has not given to my children and to me and to the entire family for the last 7 (seven) years but that doesn’t make him an honorable man overnight na deserving of a promotion,” she said.“Because we are also talking about issues of immorality, issues of abuse. So this goes beyond money,” she added. Reyes-Sevilla said several other abused AFP personnel wives came up to her after she testified before the CA but they were afraid to unmask themselves due to fear of retaliation from their husbands.Gemini Baladad also faced the media along with Reyes-Sevilla and claimed that she was also a battered wife of a retired star-ranked general.Baladad said that despite her complaints of abuse to the AFP and the CA, her husband was still able to secure his promotion in 2007.Baladad said she suffered three miscarriages due to abuse and even their son has experienced violence in the hands of their father.“Just to make awareness that this is really happening and sana 'yung AFP, maraming nasisirang buhay, maraming nasisirang pamilya. Sana pagtuunan na ng pansin because the basic unit society is the family and the unsung heroes of the soldier is really the wife,” she said.Reyes-Sevilla urged the AFP leadership to conduct a full-blown investigation on wives experiencing sufferings similar to them.“We believe it is high time that they review, are we really implementing the gender and development program in the AFP? And if so, what are the mechanisms? How are you helping these women?” she said.“Because based on our experience, you never helped us, you never protected us. We are also citizens that deserve your protection, where is the honor, integrity and loyalty to your country and to your people? We are also your people sirs. So please protect us,” Reyes-Sevilla added.

(TPM/SunStar Philippines) Licensed Online Casino Philippines 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.

(Bayyo) and Bayyo President Anselmo Perweg, against the Department of Transportation's (DOTr) Department Order (DO) 2017-011 for the implementation of the PUVMP was denied due to lack of legal standing and violation of the principle of hierarchy of courts.“These factual issues should have been first brought before the proper trial courts or the Court of Appeals, both of which are specially equipped to try and resolve factual questions,” read the decision.It was also noted in the decision that while Bayyo attached a Securities and Exchange Commission certificate of registration as an association of operators and drivers, the articles of incorporation and by-laws and other competent proof were not submitted.“Bayyo also failed to establish who its members are and that it has been duly authorized by said members to institute the petition,” it added.The group attempted to shoot down the DO, noting that it is violative of the due process and equal protection clauses of the Constitution.Two more petitions seeking to call off the implementation of the PUVMP is still pending before the SC, both of which were filed by Piston and other members of transport groups.Named respondents in the petition were the DOTr, represented by Secretary Jaime Bautista, and the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB), represented by its chair, Teofilo Guadiz III.The PUVMP was initiated during the previous administration.It requires operators to replace their jeepneys with vehicles fitted with Euro-4 compliant engines as part of efforts to make an environment-friendly transport system in the country.

(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.
