1,200 fake birth cert just ‘tip of iceberg’
By Nidz Godino
“I think that is only the tip of the iceberg’ so to speak… NBI should investigate further and find real and other culprits behind this… I believe Guo is not the first and will certainly not be the last to fake birth certificate,” Senate President Francis Escudero said senators expressed alarm over 1,200 foreigners believed to be Chinese nationals who obtained Philippine birth certificates through late birth registration in Davao del Sur town of Sta. Cruz since 2016, saying this could be just “tip of iceberg.”
Escudero urged National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) to dig deeper into issuance of fake birth certificates and locate those behind illegal activities.
Escudero said case of suspended Mayor Alice Guo of Bamban, Tarlac, who has Philippine birth certificate even if evidence indicated that she is Chinese national, was not isolated.
Senate minority leader Aquilino Pimentel III described as “alarming” NBI report.
“Alarming report…there should be comprehensive investigation of what happened there. ..I am sure the good mayor there will help in conducting that investigation,” Pimentel stressed.
NBI said not just 200, but up to 1,200 foreigners believed to be Chinese nationals have obtained Philippine birth certificates through late birth registration in the Davao del Sur town of Sta. Cruz since 2016.
NBI received information from the acting civil registrar of Sta. Cruz. NBI is also verifying reports that several of 1,200 have criminal records.
Last week, initial NBI findings showed that at least 102 cases of questionable late birth registration were recorded in Sta. Cruz town in 2018, 2019 and 2021.
Like Escudero and Pimentel, Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian described as “alarming, this is very alarming” problem of rampant issuance of fake birth certificates for fee.
“For sure we are just looking at the tip… problem is deeply rooted…one small municipality, they intentionally made fake birth certificate,” Gatchalian stressed.
He said reports of irregular issuance of birth certificates was reportedly made from 2016 to 2019.
“It goes to show late registration policy has been abused…two individuals were arrested at the airport… 32 years old and they were among those who had ‘late registration’,” he stated.
He noted that those arrested individuals claimed they could not recall their childhood, the same story used by Guo when grilled during public hearing at Senate.
Gatchalian said public has become more aware of the issue of manipulated birth certificates after case of Guo was exposed.
“It has been exposed with Guo’s case late registration is now too high profile…previously, people were not aware of late registration,” Gatchalian added.

Trump hero welcome, taps ex-critic as running mate
By Nidz Godino
“It was absolutely amazing. I mean, just thinking what he’s been through, and to come here today because he really cares,” Illinois delegate Susan Sweeney said on convention floor Donald Trump received hero’s welcome as he entered Republican National Convention arena with bandaged right ear in his first public appearance since being wounded in weekend assassination attempt.
Hours after winning formal nomination to be Republican presidential candidate and announcing right-wing Senator J.D. Vance as his running mate, Trump marched into Milwaukee’s Fiserv Forum flanked by aides and waved at supporters on opening day of expected to be triumphalist gathering.
Trump, due to give formal acceptance speech on Thursday, took his seat to sound of country singer Lee Greenwood’s patriotic hit “God Bless the USA” without delivering any remarks but appeared markedly moved by rapt ovation he received from packed venue.
It was second huge moment of the day for Republican crowd, erupted into cheers earlier as Trump announced Vance, just 39, as his vice presidential pick, rewarding one-time harsh critic who has become one of his most uncompromising supporters.
While Trump, 78, is increasingly confident of shock return to White House despite multiple legal problems and two impeachments clouding his first term as President Joe Biden is reeling from weak polls and Democratic concerns over his health.
Standard-bearer for new kind of populism that has come to fore under Trump, Vance is also one of the least experienced VP picks in modern history.
But he embraces ex-president’s isolationist, anti-immigration America First movement and is even further to right than his new boss on some issues including abortion, where he embraces calls for federal legislation.
He initially made his name with 2016 memoir “Hillbilly Elegy,” best-selling account of his Appalachian family and modest Rust Belt upbringing that gave voice to rural, working-class resentment in left-behind America.
Turning his back on previous Republican opposition to Trump, whom he once said might be “America’s Hitler,” Vance reinvented himself and ultimately won ex-president’s endorsement in 2022 Ohio Senate race, launching his meteoric rise.
Some 50,000 Republicans descended on shores of Lake Michigan for the four-day convention, four months before election day.
Gathering comes with country reeling from botched attempt by gunman to kill Trump at rally in Butler, western Pennsylvania on Saturday.
Attack killed one bystander and left Trump with bloodied ear required bandage was expected to dominate proceedings.
Leading in multiple polls, despite being convicted in his hush-money criminal case in New York, Trump is exuding confidence.
At 81, Biden meanwhile is facing calls from his own side to quit the race over concerns around his age.
His campaign released statement saying Trump-Vance agenda would “take away Americans’ rights, hurt middle class and make life more expensive all while benefiting ultra-rich and greedy corporations.”
Trump had “prepared extremely tough speech” about Biden’s “horrible administration” to deliver at the convention.
As some Republicans including Vance sought to blame Democrats’ anti-Trump rhetoric for the attack, Trump had torn up that version in favor of one he hopes will “unite our country.”
Still, that means him having to rein in instinct to settle scores demonstrated by his cry for supporters to “fight” in seconds after Saturday’s attack.
Diminished figure after his 2020 election loss and subsequent riot at the Capitol by his supporters, Trump has spent much of the last four years reshaping Republican politics.
Installing loyalists including his daughter-in-law Lara Trump atop Republican National Committee, billionaire has effectively crushed dissent within party.
He scored another victory Monday as judge dismissed one of the criminal cases against him, concerning accusations he endangered national security by holding on to top secret documents after leaving White House.

5 DepEd brass leaving this week
By Creselda Canda-Lopez
“Our resignations are effective July 19, 2024… I think it is only appropriate to give incoming secretary of education, Secretary Angara, free hand to choose people that will form part of his team,” Undersecretary and chief-of-staff Michael Poa told reporters five ranking officials of Department of Education are leaving the agency with Vice President and outgoing DepEd Secretary Sara Duterte this week, giving incoming education secretary and outgoing Sen. Sonny Angara free hand to choose members of his executive committee.
Poa made announcement ahead of Duterte’s last day in office on Thursday, saying he was among officials who have resigned.
Angara announced courtesy resignations last Sunday, but did not give further details on officials’ names, ranks and reasons for resigning.
Sought for comment on the matter, Angara has already started drawing up names for his shortlist for their replacements.
“Search is ongoing as we speak,” he told media.
He stressed he would announce new appointees soon.
Also leaving with Poa are two retired Philippine Army generals that Duterte appointed to her executive committee last year: retired Maj. Gen. Nolasco Mempin and retired Brig. Gen. Noel Baluyan.
Mempin is undersecretary for administration while Baluyan is assistant secretary for administration.
Before their appointments to DepEd, Mempin was commander of Army’s 10th Infantry Division, has operational responsibility over Davao Region. Baluyan was assistant division commander of 3rd Infantry Division.
Also leaving are Assistant Secretaries Sunshine Fajarda and Reynold Munsayac, who are both lawyers.
Munsayac had served during former president Rodrigo Duterte’s administration as commissioner of Presidential Commission on Good Government, post he left in 2022 to help younger Duterte’s campaign for vice presidency. Munsayac was later appointed as spokesman of Office of the Vice President before his appointment to DepEd.
Poa did not say what was next for him following his courtesy resignation from high-profile post, but hinted at his loyalty to Duterte, saying, “I will just wait for instructions from the Vice President, if any.”
“We respect decision of DepEd undersecretaries and assistant secretaries who tendered their courtesy resignations ahead of our assumption as secretary of education,” Angara said.
Courtesy resignations came days before Duterte was scheduled to turn over DepEd’s reins to Angara tomorrow at ceremony at DepEd Central Office.
Duterte filed her 30-day notice last June 19 before President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., she stated that she would be vacating the office on July 19 to help facilitate smooth transition for the new education secretary.
Despite Duterte’s vow to help in transition, Angara admitted earlier this week that he has not met with Duterte since her resignation and his appointment as her replacement.
Angara would meet with Duterte tomorrow, during which he said he hopes there can be time for pair to discuss matters about DepEd.
Angara, however, he had already met with DepEd undersecretaries and assistant secretaries to discuss pending items and projects, as well as what he needed to expect for opening of classes.
“We eagerly anticipate taking on our new role this Friday…any appropriate appointments will be announced soon as we intend to hit ground running and drive immediate progress,” he said.
Meanwhile, teachers and school heads are commending DepEd field offices that suspended implementation of Results-Based Performance Management System (RBPMS) for school year 2023-2024.
In statement, Teachers’ Dignity Coalition said regional directors (RDs) from National Capital Region, Bicol Region, Central Visayas, Cordillera Administrative Region, SOCCSKSARGEN and Zamboanga Peninsula have ordered to halt implementation of RBPMS.
“We want to express our gratitude to several RDs and even SDSs ,schools division superintendents who have taken decisive action by instructing their respective areas of jurisdiction to halt implementation of RBPMS,” TDC chairman Benjo Basas said.
Manila SDS Rita Riddle had issued message instructing city’s school heads to defer submission of RBPMS until clear guidelines will have been provided.
MediaQuest, KBP, PLDT, Smart joined for media literacy
By J.Lo
“First fundamental step to counter this threat is to ThinkaMuna to stop and think and do not mindlessly click, like and share,” MediaQuest and PLDT chairman Manuel . Pangilinan said broadcast media groups in the Philippines have partnered with telecommunications giants for media literacy program.
MediaQuest and Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas (KBP) have partnered with telco giants PLDT and Smart Communications to combat disinformation through media and information literacy advocacy program.
ThinkAMuna Pilipinas campaign will be implemented as part of election coverage programs of MediaQuest and KBP members.
For MediaQuest, media alliance of News5, One News, One PH, Radyo5 TrueFM, The Philippine STAR, BusinessWorld, The Freeman and Pilipino Star Ngayon will cover May 2025 midterm elections through its Bilang Pilipino 2025 program.
These media organizations will share news and information to help Filipinos fight against expected wave of fake news.
PLDT and Smart will assist in disseminating information among its customers.
Surveys show up to 80 percent of Filipinos get their news online, particularly through their cell phones.
“Media and information literacy is important not only during elections…it will help each person be more effective day to day and this will ultimately be for benefit of our people,” he stressed.
KBP chairman Ruperto Nicdao said they are facing “increasingly complex media landscape fraught with rising risks of disinformation…but what is heartening is increasing efforts of media organizations to join hands in fighting this menace.”
ThinkAMuna Pilipinas will initially focus on reporting false or misleading news circulating online or in traditional media.
In the long term, advocacy will strive to enhance critical thinking skills of Filipinos so that they can better evaluate information and promote responsible online behavior and digital citizenship.

KSA to host inaugural Olympics Esports Games in 2025
By J.Lo
“We are very fortunate to be able to work with Saudi NOC on Olympic Esports Games, because it has great if not unique expertise in the field of esports with all its stakeholders… Olympic Esports Games will greatly benefit from this experience,” International Olympic Committee (IOC) president Thomas Bach said IOC announced inaugural Olympic Esports Games happening in 2025 will take place in Saudi Arabia, after partnering with National Olympic Committee (NOC) of Saudi Arabia for 12 years, with Olympic Esports Games held regularly.
“By partnering with Saudi NOC we have also ensured Olympic values are respected, in particular, with regard to game titles on programme, promotion of gender equality and engagement with young audience, embracing esports,” he stressed.
IOC has been venturing into esports since 2018, establishing Esports Liaison Group as platform to engage with all esports stakeholders. They had included recommendation for esports and virtual games in their Olympic Agenda 2020+5 designed to strengthen Olympic Movement by 2025.
They then held Olympic Virtual Series (OVS) back in 2021 prior to Tokyo Olympics followed by Olympic Esports Series (OES) in Singapore in 2023. Following success of OES, IOC had formed its Esports Commission last October 2023.
Currently, Saudi Arabia is venue for inaugural Esports World Cup, combining 22 esports events across 21esports titles in annual international esports festival that is set to make history with largest prize pool to date with over $60 million (approximately P448.9 million).
“Saudi Arabia is hugely excited by prospect of partnering with IOC and helping to welcome completely new era for international sport…we believe to take part in Olympic Games is one of the greatest honors any athlete can achieve…and we are proud to support writing of new chapter in Olympic history that has potential to inspire new dreams and new ambitions for literally millions of athletes around the world,” said Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki Al Faisal, Minister of Sport and President of the Saudi Arabian Olympic and Paralympic Committee.
He adds, “we are youthful nation, with over 23 million gamers, embracing the future with new thinking and partnerships. Our Kingdom has become global hub for professional esports. Hosting this event is result of rich past, exciting present and promising future for industry in the Kingdom. This is natural next step for our young athletes, our country and global esports community.”
Besides Esports World Cup and coming Olympic Esports Games, Saudi Arabia will also host 2024 World Esports Championship organized by International Esports Federation, elected president is Prince Faisal bin Bandar bin Sultan Al Saud, current chairman of the Saudi Esports Federation.
“Retail price of local rice is still lower…before EO 62 takes effect, let us give it some time imported rice is released and distributed,” Department of Agriculture (DA)Assistant Secretary and spokesman Arnel de Mesa said retail price of local rice remains cheaper compared to those of imported grains despite implementation of Executive Order 62 on lower tariff on imported rice after EO took effect on July 7.
At press conference De Mesa said retail price of local well-milled rice was pegged at P45 per kilo compared to imported well-milled rice at P51 per kilo.
EO 62 reduced tariff on imported rice to 15 percent from 35 percent.
Based on monitoring of DA in Metro Manila markets, retail price of local regular milled rice ranged between P45 and P50 per kilo; local well-milled rice, between P48 and 55 per kilo; local premium rice, between P50 and P58 per kilo and local special rice, between P57 and P65 per kilo.
Imported regular milled rice price ranged between P46 and P51 per kilo; imported well-milled rice, between P51 and P55 per kilo; imported premium rice, between P52 and P60 and imported special rice, between P55 and P65 per kilo.
Amid this development, National Food Authority (NFA) will continue to procure palay after farmers complained of P5-per-kilo drop in its farmgate price because of EO 62, according to De Mesa.
“On the part of DA, we continue to buy palay from farmers. NFA procures palay at high price and, according to the secretary, Council will adjust accordingly and we are seeking additional budget for NFA for this purpose,” he stressed, referring to Agriculture Secretary Francisco Tiu Laurel Jr.
Former DA secretary Leonardo Montemayor has warned of further slump in buying price of palay during main harvest season in the last quarter of the year.
With P5-per-kilo drop in farmgate price of palay, farmers are suffering losses, according to Montemayor.
Farmers’ groups have asked Supreme Court to issue temporary restraining order against EO 62 as they asked that order be declared unconstitutional.
In another development, temporary import ban on onions would be extended until end of next month as current stocks remain ample to meet domestic demand, Tiu Laurel said.
The agriculture chief stressed DA would extend import ban on monthly basis based on movement of supplies and demand in the market.
This is now the second extension of import ban on red onion, which started in January.
Initially, ban would have been lifted by May, but it was extended until this month due to bumper harvest in the first half of the year, resulting in overflowing stocks in cold storages.
“We are monitoring everything closely, day-to-day…as of the moment, we really do not need to import,” Tiu Laurel said.
The agriculture chief is cautious that pronouncements on extending import ban could encourage unscrupulous traders to slow down release of their stocks from cold storage, thus jacking up market prices.
Tiu Laurel, however, warned unscrupulous onion traders who attempt to tighten release of their stocks to make killing, that he would not hesitate to allow onion imports to stabilize market prices.
The country usually imports deficit in its onion production to meet overall demand and keep prices stable.
Cold storages are brimming with red onion stocks, holding over 150,000 metric tons (MT) as of July 5, based on latest government monitoring report.
Supplies , all locally produced, are projected to last for 261 days or until March 23 next year.
Meanwhile, yellow onion stocks of about 10,600 MT would last for 72 days or until Sept. 15, according to government report.
Combined red and yellow onion supplies will last for 223 days or until the middle of February next year.
Retail prices of locally produced red and yellow onions in Metro Manila markets have been stable since start of the year.
Red onion prices range from P80 per kilo to P150 per kilo, while yellow onions fetch P80 per kilo to P130 per kilo, based on the latest DA price monitoring report.
MVPO 2024: Fortifying relationships through sportsmanship and camaraderie
Besides being a prominent figure in the Philippine business industry, Manny V. Pangilinan, known to many as MVP, is recognized for his bonafide support of the country’s sports scene. He established the MVP Sports Foundation Inc. (MVPSF) in 2011, a non-profit organization that is dedicated to empowering local athletes by providing them opportunities to better their skills and compete in various tournaments. Moreover, it also aims to pave the way for Filipino athletes to successfully obtain medals in worldwide sports competitions, the most prestigious of which is the Olympics.
MVP’s love for sports and MVPSF’s vision are shown in a way that connects all of his companies, and that is through the MVPO– an athletic event where employees from the MVP Group of Companies gain the same relentless spirit and drive through various sports competitions and talent events.

What is MVPO?
Since 2010, the annual sports event has championed the Filipinos’ burning passion and commitment towards athleticism. It remains steadfast in promoting camaraderie among the MVP Group of Companies, temporarily setting aside work rivalry and biases to strengthen one communal bond.
With the theme “Tuloy ang Alab, Tuloy ang Laban,” 10 corporations have begun their relentless quest for victory this year, showcasing their excellence not only in the market but also inside the playing field. MVPO 2024 features Meralco, PLDT, Metro Pacific Tollways Corp., Maynilad, Metro Pacific Health, Smart/Maya, First Pacific Leadership Academy, Philex Mining, Media Quest, and Metro Pacific Investments to complete all 26 exciting competitions.
The athletic event is an ongoing activity, which kicked off last May 17, 2024, at the Meralco Grounds. Starting with a series of fun and easy-level games, the participating teams brought out their inner competitiveness in the human hamster race, group sack race, executive egg toss, and wooden ski race. This served as a warm-up stage for several individual and group sports tournaments, such as badminton, basketball, billiards, bowling, chess, crossfit, dancesport, darts, golf, eSports, fun run, table tennis, tennis, track and field, obstacle course racing, and volleyball. There also is an ultimate frisbee event.
Some competitions are arts and performance-based, with the addition of executive cosplay, battle of the bands, broadway musical, Ms. MVPO, and street dance.
Now on its third leg, MVPO 2024 has dedicated the whole month of July for badminton, darts, and tennis, and is set to conclude in October.
MVP’s care towards his employees appears to transcend office matters, prioritizing everyone’s overall well-being. Through MVPO 2024, the employees get to take a break from work, have a healthy body, and most importantly, develop a deeper level of connection with their officemates.
Aside from the fitness benefits, the athletic gathering promotes trust and open communication to establish an efficient working system and rise through the ranks. Signing up for games, solo or team, allows employees to get to know one another and encourages friendly competition that can even stretch from the playing ground to the workplace.
This blurs out the division between companies, building a rich culture of collaboration and respect for each representative. In fact, it is important to note that MVPO also plays a pivotal role in honing the employees’ character and motivation level to perform through the years.
MVPSF President Al Panlilio said, “The MVP Sports Foundation is often related to our support of our elite athletes. We’re proud to be a part of the Olympic journey of many athletes heading to Paris 2024.”
“However, our mission is more than that. While we aim to empower Filipino athletes from the grassroots and help them progress, we also want everyone to participate in sports because this supports personal development and helps create a culture of sportsmanship and winning. This is aligned with the vision of MVP for his employees to have a healthy lifestyle. This is why the MVPO is an important banner under our organization. It uplifts the competitiveness of the participants while also strengthening the unity of our people,” he added.
What is the participating teams’ current standing?
As of writing, Meralco sits comfortably on top, with six gold medals, two silver, and one bronze to register 38 overall points from its recent back-to-back wins in Street Dance and Battle of the Bands competition. However, nothing is set in stone yet for the electricity provider, as PLDT stays close with 36 points—only two markers behind the leading team.
With two gold, six silver, and four bronze medals, PLDT is consistent in its appearance as a podium finisher across 12 game departments, such as chess, billiards, golf, and bowling. Metro Pacific Tollways Corp. also followed suit to secure the third spot with 25 points, while Maynilad dominated the executive cosplay to earn 21 points.
Metro Pacific Health has two golds and one bronze under its belt at fifth. Conversely, completing the bottom half teams are Smart/Maya First Pacific Leadership Academy, Philex Mining, Media Quest, and Metro Pacific Investments.
MVPO 2024 is far from being over and has several games to offer. Thus, the current standing still can be shaken up, giving the losing teams the prospect to redeem themselves and turn it around.
While this may seem trivial to others, the athletic event is an extension of MVP himself and signifies his overflowing love for sports and his people. Through it, his employees absorb the same characteristics, allowing them to build healthy relationships.

Shannen Doherty, star of ‘Beverly Hills: 90210, 53
By Cynthia Montojo
“It is with heavy heart that I confirm passing of actress Shannen Doherty,” Shannen’s publicist Leslie Sloane said in statement actress Shannen Doherty, known for her role in high school drama series “Beverly Hills 90210,” died after long fight with breast cancer.
Sloane said Shannen died Saturday “after many years of fighting the disease.”
“Devoted daughter, sister, aunt and friend was surrounded by her loved ones as well as her dog, Bowie… family asks for their privacy at this time so they can grieve in peace,” Sloane stressed.
Shannen was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015, and was in remission in 2017. But by 2019 cancer had returned and spread.
Shannen regularly went public with her cancer battle and hosted podcast documenting her treatment. Most recent episode streamed last month.
Shannen rocketed to fame in 1990s playing role of teenaged Brenda Walsh, who along with her brother Brandon, played by Jason Priestley, arrived at Los Angeles enclave for rich from the more quaint Minnesota.
“Beverly Hills: 90210” was massive hit, with viewers particularly riveted by rivalry between Shannen’s Brenda and Kelly, played by Jennie Garth, for affections of heartthrob Dylan.
Dylan was played by Luke Perry who died in 2019.
At its height, show was cultural phenomenon, known for introducing touchy topics like racism, drug abuse and teenage sexuality to hit evening soap opera.
Shannen left show after fourth season amid reports of on-set tensions, but she later revisited character for reboots of series in 2008 and 2019.
She later starred series “Charmed,” playing oldest of three sisters, who discover that they are witches.
She also appeared in cult teen classic, “Heathers,” as well as in indie auteur Kevin Smith’s “Mallrats” and “Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.”
Born in Memphis, Tennessee, Shannen’s family moved to Los Angeles when she was a child and she began acting when she was 10 with role on the television series “Father Murphy.”
9 For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, 10 and in Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the head over every power and authority.
ISKUP!
