Public reporting vs deepfakes
By J.Lo
“Citizens will be ones to pressure platforms into taking down posts, and hopefully they will coordinate with us about it,” Commission on Elections (Comelec) Chairman George Garcia said despite lack of manpower, Comelec expects its campaign against use of artificial intelligence (AI) and deepfakes in next year’s polls to succeed with public support.
Comelec Chairman George Garcia expects public to report candidates who will engage in illegal use of deepfakes and AI during campaign.
Comelec chief said commission will also enter into memorandum of agreement with different platforms for intensified efforts against AI and deepfakes.
According to Garcia, to succeed, commission needs support of all sectors, including government agencies, in effort to regulate use of AI and social media.
He said prohibition against use of AI and deepfakes should cover all nationwide candidates.
Comelec, Garcia said, will come out with proper guidelines governing use of AI and social media.
“What we will propose to Commission en banc is to include this with other election offences, and number two in disqualification,” he said.
However, Garcia said Comelec is not inclined to impose absolute ban on use of AI and social media during campaign.
“We are unable to stop people from using AI and social media…what’s better is that we regulate or prohibit one aspect of campaign on social media…we cannot ban social media because, for me, it might intrude with what we call freedom of expression,” he said.
Garcia said poll body can act motu proprio against deepfakes, but they would also encourage public reporting.

Quiboloy cases from Davao City to Quezon City
By J.Lo
“Court found compelling reasons to justify transfer of venue as cases involve public interest, with accused, well-known religious leader, being influential in the area,” Supreme Court (SC) has granted request of Department of Justice to transfer child and sexual abuse cases of fugitive doomsday preacher Apollo Quiboloy.
SC granted request of DOJ to “avoid miscarriage of justice.”
“As this could cause local biases and strong possibility that witnesses cannot freely testify due to fear and influence of accused, Court found it prudent and judicious to order transfer of cases to Quezon City,” it added.
SC also instructed judges in Davao City and other Mindanao stations, where future related cases involving Quiboloy and his co-accused might be filed, to independently order transfer of case records to Office of Clerk of Court of RTC and Metropolitan Trial Court in Quezon City.
High court also ordered Quezon City RTC Executive Judge to raffle cases.
Quiboloy and his associates have been charged for child abuse and sexual abuse offenses due to their alleged abuses of members of preacher’s “church”, Kingdom of Jesus Christ or KOJC.
On April 3, Davao court issued warrant of arrest against preacher and his associates, namely Jackielyn Roy, Cresente Canada, Paulene Canada, Ingrid Canada and Sylvia Cemañes.
Aside from this, non-bailable qualified human trafficking case is lodged before Pasig City court against them.

Estareja said country is currently experiencing monsoon break amid hot temperature that continues to prevail despite onset of rainy season.

“Before this weekend, rains will resume means more areas will experience rains by Thursday and Friday…today ,Tuesday and tomorrow Wednesday areas that could experience rains are in northern section and by Thursday and Friday, rains are possible in most of Luzon and Visayas areas, including Metro Manila,” Estareja said.
Weather specialist also said rains were expected in Batanes and Babuyan islands.

Writ of Kalayaan to improve penal system – Leonen
By J.Lo
“Writ of kalayaan is extraordinary remedy for PDLs created through Court’s constitutional power to promulgate rules protecting and enforcing our fundamental rights…it intends to protect PDLs’ right to life, right to health, and right against cruel, degrading, and inhuman punishment… aims to rectify conditions of confinement and address not only congestion of facilities but any issue frustrates inherent dignity and humane treatment of PDLs ” Senior Associate Marvic Leonen said proposed writ of kalayaan by Supreme Court (SC) has potential to “rectify” conditions of confinement in jails and humane treatment of persons deprived of liberty .
In speech before Integrated Bar of the Philippines Caloocan-Malabon-Navotas Chapter last May 25, Leonen emphasized need to address “colossal and perennial problem” of jail congestion in the Philippines.
Citing latest World Prison Brief, he said Philippines has third highest prison occupancy in the world with 362%.
He also mentioned that 323 out of 478 jails experience high occupancy rate leads to poor conditions of PDLs.
Leonen also emphasized proposed writ is not intended to resolve all issues affecting penal facilities, nor is it meant to replace existing programs and policies implemented by other government agencies.
“This remedy is designed to complement ongoing efforts of executive and legislative branches… identifies role of courts and empowers them to contribute to addressing this social problem holistically and collaboratively, writ of kalayaan is active step for judiciary to fulfill same responsibility, ” Leonen said.
On Dec. 19, 2022, SC’s panel on human rights recommended approval of writ of kalayaan aim to bolster protection of basic human rights in the country.
However, judicial relief has also been assailed by Bureau of Corrections saying government is already addressing predicaments in the country’s prisons.
“Since start of my term, I have placed great emphasis on need to boost our educational system and urgency with which this should be done,” President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said in his speech bill raising annual teaching allowance of public school teachers to P10,000 beginning next school year has been signed into law.
Under Republic Act 11997, or Kabalikat sa Pagtuturo Act, teaching allowance will increase from P5,000 to P10,000 beginning school year 2025-2026.
Law exempts teaching allowance from income tax.
Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte-Carpio was not seen during signing ceremony at Malacañang.
Among those present at the event were Senate President Francis Escudero, Speaker Martin Romualdez and members of Cabinet.
“And while it might seem inconsequential to those who are already used to having steady supply of basic materials for work, this amount makes enormous difference for our beloved teachers and for students,” he stressed.
FMJ, however, hailed Duterte and men and women of Department of Education (DepEd) for laying down building blocks for modern and responsive educational system.
“Kabalikat sa Pagtuturo Act comes as welcome support for advancement of MATATAG Agenda,” Marcos said.
MATATAG Agenda comprises four critical components: MAking curriculum relevant; TAking steps to accelerate delivery of basic education facilities and services; TAking good care of learners by promoting learner well-being, inclusive education and positive learning environment; and Giving support to teachers to be able to teach better.
Under new law, teaching allowance will cover purchase of tangible and intangible teaching supplies and materials, payment of incidental expenses and implementation or conduct of various learning delivery modalities.
Signing of Kabalikat sa Pagtuturo Act will eliminate out of pocket expenses and help teachers perform their duties better, according to Sen. Sonny Angara, one of the authors of the law.
“Increasing teaching supplies allowance or chalk allowance will result in fewer instances when teachers have to make out of pocket expenses in performance of their duties, our overworked and underpaid educators should always be supported, and initiatives such as these will go long way in showing our appreciation of what they do for our children’s development,” Angara, who also attended signing at the Palace, said.
Initial amount necessary for implementation of law will be charged against DepEd’s current budget.
Thereafter, such amounts shall be included in annual General Appropriations Act, according to the law.
DepEd, in consultation with Department of Budget and Management, is tasked to come up with implementing rules and regulations within 60 days from approval of the law.

Davao City SAF deployment explained
By J.Lo
“SAF units have long been deployed in Davao region and are distributed across various provinces… is not concentrated solely in Davao,” PNP chief publicist Col. Jean Fajardo at press briefing at Camp Crame denied that deployment of two PNP Special Action Force (SAF) battalions to Davao is political in nature and intended to help International Criminal Court (ICC) investigators.
Two SAF battalions were deployed on May 24 after 35 police officers in Davao City were relieved from their posts on the same day.
Among those relieved was Davao City police chief Col. Richard Bad-ang following deaths of seven drug suspects in March.
Bad-ang’s relief was recommended pending investigation into drug-related killings in the city.
Davao Mayor Sebastian Duterte declared all-out campaign against illegal drugs when he welcomed Bad-ang as city police chief in March.
PNP clarified deployment of SAF personnel has nothing to do with relief of 35 Davao police officers.
Former senator Antonio Trillanes IV on May 2 said ICC is expected to issue arrest warrant for former president Rodrigo Duterte and others in June or July, in connection with his administration’s bloody war on drugs.
“Based on information gathered, warrant of arrest would come in batches… first batch is only for one, only Duterte, the father… second batch is for the other principal actors, as far as I know,” he said.
Apart from Duterte and his daughter Vice President Sara Duterte-Carpio, other personalities reportedly investigated by ICC are his “tokhang” enforcer Sen. Ronald Dela Rosa and former aide Sen. Bong Go.
Last month, Trillanes alleged that two police generals in Mindanao were plotting to destabilize government and oust President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.

US congratulates Ph for ‘eloquently’ expressing SCS position
By Nidz Godino
“Harassment Philippines has faced is dangerous pure and simple… we all share interest in ensuring South China Sea remains open and free,” US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin III said United States congratulated Philippines for “eloquently laying out Philippines’ position on South China Sea (SCS).”
Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr. and Austin met on sidelines of 21st International Institute for Strategic Studies Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore on Saturday, to update each other on progress made by both countries since recent SQUAD meeting in Hawaii.
“SQUAD” is quadrilateral alliance among US, Japan, Australia and Philippines, had series of meetings in Hawaii with Austin last month. Four countries held marine military drills in April.
Austin opened discussion by congratulating President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. for laying out Philippines’ position on SCS.
Teodoro responded by expressing his “appreciation to US for supporting Marcos’ thesis underscores rights of small states.”
Austin reiterated the point he made during his talk on The New Convergence in Indo-Pacific on previous day.
“We are beyond friends and allies, we are family…what affects you affects us,” he added.

Komedya o Komida

Pekeng Alaxan FR
IWASAN nyo kasambahay bumili ng gamut sa bangketa dahil baka mapeke kayo. Shout out muna kina Binang 1st Barangay Chairman Alfredo Quiambao, secretary Michelle Santos at treasurer Con-con Adatu,admin Ricardo Sta. Ana, konsehal Aru Cando, Alexander Malvar, Michelle Sotocua, Esperanza Benedicto, Gerry Noel,Pepito Nicandro. Kung yung umuupa kina Marsing sa teleaksyong Batang Quiapo ay nagbebenta ng paso nang produkto, babala ng BFAD ay huwad talagang gamot na nakalapag sa mga bangketa. Medicol Advance, Bioflu, Tuseran Forte, Kremil-S, Alaxan FR and Biogesic ang hinuwad ng mga pasaway na sindikato. MTRCB bakit walang “parental guidance ang paboritong BQ ni Kiwal, bulati kong kikiwal-kiwal. Whole some pa naman ang dating ng tele aksyon ni Coco Martin pero walang SPG sa You Tube. Baka akala ng mga bata, tamang 2 inaasawa sa bahay gaya nina Marites at Lena. Tiyak na nagpapatuloy ang bentahan ng “organ” at ngayon, buong bat ana ang ipinagbibili at sa media sosyal pa, lantaran na itong para bang sige “maghabulan tayo”, anang mga pasaway na sindikato. Mabuti nang mabuti kasambahay kung ang bentahan ng sanggol ay para magkaanak, aarugain, mamahaling parang tunay na kanila at hindi ang una ko nang nabanggit na kakataying parang hayop para sa pa rin sa organ nito, patawarin kayo mg ama kong Dios. Naaawa tuloy ako sa maglololang nakatira sa likod ng pangunahing supermarket sa may Sitio Bihunan, inilalambing nil ola kay Kapitan Duco, kahit gatas na Bonna para sa apo nya. Kung nasa pambansang tanggapan pa ako, kayang kaya ko iyan pero wala na e at dito sa pamahalaang local, sasagutin ka lamang ng MSWD na “wala kaming pondo riyan”. Basahin nyo na lang at subaybayan ang istorya sa iskup news-on-line daily. “HINDI nabibili ang magulang”, ang mensahe ni Barangay Binang 1st Administrator Ricardo Sta. Ana nang katawanin niya si Chairman Alfredo Quambao sa ika-54 na pagtatapos ng Binang Elementary School. Dahil nga hindi nabibili ang magulang at iisa lamang ang nagluwal sa iyo sa daigdig, ang pangaral ni Carding sa kulang sa 70 estudyanteng nagsipagtapos sa grade 6,igalang at mahalin mo silang pinagkakautangan mo ng iyong buhay. Malaki na ang isinulong ng paaralang ito mula nang ako ay magtapos rin ditto noong 1975. Noo’y kanya-kanya pa kami ng dalang silya at sa mismong paaralan ginanap ang pagtatapos. Sa graduation 2024, sa auditorium na ng Dr. Yanga’s Colleges ginanap, ditto rin ako nagtapos ng sekundarya noong 1979 at sa taong ito ay ipinagdiriwang naming ang ika-60 taon mula nang lisanin ng batch ang eskuwelahang ito. Kaya lamang ay nakalulungkot na hindi maasikaso ng kinauukulan ang papeles ng paaralang Binang Elementary School at walang matinong makausap hinggil ditto. Magdaraos ang batch 75 ng reunion at harinawang matalakay ang kapakanan ng paaralan. Sinariwa rin ni Carding na noong panahon niya ay hanggang grade 4 lamang ang klase rito na kapag grade 5 na ay sa Bocaue Central Scool na mag-aaral kaya hindi karamihan ang nakatatapos ng elementarya. Komida itong kapana-panabik na sorpresang handog ng embahada ng Pransya sa Pilipinas, magpapatikim sila ng pagkaing lutong Pranses sa lansangan ng Makati City. . Sa mga mahihilig sa event, antabayanan ninyo ito. Magpapatikim ang mga Pranses ng putahe, alak, lutong Pinoy na itatampok sa French Food Market sa mga lansangan ng lungsod Makati sa Hunyo 1 at 2, 2024. “French street food, crêpes, pastries and other delights with wines, liqueurs, coffees and beverages will be presented by Goût de France (Good France) Street Market on tree-lined Paseo Avenue along Ayala Triangle on June 1 to 2.” “Goût de France” ay ipinakilala kasambahay noong taong 2015 ng French Ministry of Foreign Affairs kapartner si chef Alain Ducasse. Nasa 20 French restaurant at pangunahing otel ang kalahok sa Goût de France hatid ang “special Goût de France menu” sa buong lingo hanggang June 9. Komedyante itong ospital sa kabayanan ng Bocaue, Bulacan, hindi nga ho ito kasambahay naniningil ng deposito agad at palilipasin muna ang 24 oras pero bawal ang promisorry letter. . Pagkuha mo Kiwal, bulati kong kikiwal-kiwal ng kwarto sa ipaaadmit mong pasyente, walang charity ward doon, P1,900 at P2,200 lang ang halaga ng room, palalagdaan sa iyo ang kasulatang bawal ang promisorry letter. Sige lang pirma, pero alam naman ng mga abogado nitong ospital na may “Anti-hospital hostage law” na hindi dahilan ang kakapusan mon ang pananalapi upang hindi ka pauwiin kung galling ka na at ang unang hakbang para magamit mo ang batas ayh PM. PM lang din ho sa akin kung may problema kayo sa discharge ng inyong pasyente. Pagbati sa mga kongresistang nagsisikap pagmalasakitan ang kapakanan naming mga nakatatanda-pagpapanatili sa 20% diskwento sa mga pangunahing pangangailangan. . Pero bakit kaya hanggang 20% lang Kiwal, bulati kong kikiwal-kiwal, dahil ba tinatanggal lang ang tubo sa puhunan at hindi ito kailangang galawin? Sa panukala nitong ilang deputado, ipinasasaklaw sa diskwento kahit mga produktong ipinakikilala pa lamang sa pamamagitan ng “promo”. Ipinaggigiitan ho ng mga hotel na ang mga ratang nasa promo gaya ng P500 ang sampung oras na pamamalagi na hindi saklaw ng 20% discount. Yun ho kasing promo ng kumpanya ay para sa kapakanan nito, paano naman ang batas na nilalabag na, dapat pang idiskwento ang nasa promo. Gusto ko ring tingkiin ang petrolyo, gasoline at krudo ng nagpapakargang senior citizen, dapat ikonsidera rin. Komedya na naman ang magaganap sa mga lansangan sa pagtataguang pung at girian ng mga “unconsolidated traditional jeepney” at magsisiga-sigaang enforcer. Tapos na kasi kasambahay ang grace period ng mga uncon at simul ana ng tugisan ng mga kulorum. Tyak magtatago ang mga kulorum hanggang manghinawa ang mga tugis boys. Alam nyo naman ang ugaling ningas-kugon, di pa rin nawawala at alam ng mga kulorum yun, pahinga muna, payagay-tagay muna. Pagkatapos ng sigwada, muling mamamayagpag ang mga kulorum, “happy days are here again”. Dyan nga Kiwal, bulati kong kikiwal-kiwal sa Imus City, Cavite, marami sa mga traditional jeepney ang ni walang ruta sa gilid, byaheng Dasmarinas City bayan-Imus City proper, kinunsinte ng mga awtoridad at pamahalaang lokal. Inutil rin dyan ang bantay-kulorum. Mababawasan kasambahay ang komedya sa munisipyo, city hall at barangay hall dahil mauudlot ang pamumulitika sa pamamahagi ng ayuda ng mga pulitiko. . Hindi na ho kasi kasambahay idaraan sa opisina ng mga ehekutibo lokal ang ayuda ni Social Welfare secretary Rex Gatchalian. Ito ho bang Ayuda sa Kapos ang Kita Program o AKAP. Ang konswelo na lang ni Mayor at barangay chairman ay makapagmasid sa pamimigay, iniiwasan na ho kasi Kiwal, bulati kong kikiwal-kiwal na akalain ninyong mula sa pulitiko iyon kaya muling maiboboto sa nalalapit na naming halalan. Tinutugis ho ngayon ng mga pulis ang kabaro nilang babae dahil nahuling nakikipagniig sa kapwa pulis at huli rin ng maybahay ang katalik. Hindi kinilala ni Col. Fajardo ang pasaway sa matinding kahihiyan, sino kaya ang life coach niyan? Nananawagan kasambahay ang obispong katoliko sa mga panatikong magdasal para ulanin. Noong araw ipinagpuprusisyon pa ng mga panatiko ang paghingi ng ulan kaya lang galit ang itaas sa pagkikilik ng imahen sa prusisyon dahil iyon ay dinidiyos pa kaysa Kanya. Paano diringgin kung mali ang pamamaraan. Lalo lamang lalala ang sitwasyon kung hindi matututuhan ng tao ang tamang pagtawag sa nasa Itaas.
Shout out muna sa Values Bocaue Advocates, Wilfredo Jimenez Jr., Alex Driodoco, Gemma Daseco, Delfin Lawa at Alex Castro. Shout out muna sa mga may “hang over” pang bagong Marked Men for Christ”.
