MANILA, Philippines – Posibleng umakyat sa 1,000 bagong kaso ang maitatala sa National Capital Region (NCR) kada araw pagkatapos ng halalan sa Mayo 9.
Ayon kay OCTA Research fellow Dr. Guido David, bagama’t nananating “low risk” ang Pilipinas sa COVID-19 ay maaari pa rin itong magbago sa harap na rin ng banta ng mga panibagong variants o sublineages na maaaring makapasok sa bansa.
“‘Yung projection natin, kung wala namang pagkalat o pagtaas ng kaso, we’re still seeing cases will remain low in NCR basta nag-iingat tayo. Ngayon, we’re averaging less than or around 100 cases per day sa NCR,” paliwanag ni David.
“May different scenarios tayo na tinitignan. Kung magkaron ng pagtaas ng kaso, we may see up to 500 to 1,000 cases per day sa NCR pero sana naman hindi mangyari ‘yun,” dagdag niya.
Noong Linggo, una nang iniulat ni David na nakapagtala ang NCR ng pagtaas ng kaso ng COVID-19 noong April 24 hanggang 30 kung saan tumaas sa 7% ang growth rate nito kumpara sa datos na naitala noong April 17 hanggang 23.
Kasalukuyan ding mino-monitor ng OCTA ang COVID-19 situations sa ilang lugar sa Benguet, Davao Region, Cebu, at Isabela.

Duo arrested in Ajman, UAE on suspicion of ‘witchcraft’
LONDON: Two men have been arrested on suspicion of witchcraft and sorcery in the UAE, Ajman police said on Wednesday.
The men, of Arab nationality, were arrested after a tip-off from people living in the emirate, who said the men were charging them to use “black magic rituals” to solve problems, local media said.
Ahmed Saeed Al-Nuaimi, criminal investigations director of Ajman Police, said the information provided was confirmed by his department and an undercover team was sent to apprehend the duo.
The officers contacted the suspects, agreed to pay AED10,000 ($2,722) for their services and met them at a hotel.
After the two men performed their acts, the meeting was raided, after which the suspects confessed to their crimes.
Their case has been forwarded to Public Prosecution, according to reports.
MANILA, Philippines — Nairehistro ang kabuuang utang ng gobyerno sa P12.68 trilyon sa pagtatapos ng Marso 2022, ayon sa Bureau of Treasury, Huwebes, problemang haharapin ng susunod na administrasyon lalo na’t eleksyon na sa Lunes.
“For the month [of March], P586.29 billion, or 4.8% of the total debt portfolio was added primarily due to the net issuance of government securities to both local and external lenders,” paliwanag ng Kawanihan ng Ingatang-Yaman, Huwebes.
Narito ang pinagkunan ng utang ng bansa:
panlabas na utang (P3.81 trilyon o 30.1%)
panloob na utang (P8.87 trilyon o 69.9%)
Kaugnay nito, mahigit P590 bilyon na ang panibagong utang na-incur ng bansa simula nang pumasok ang taong 2022.
Tumaas ng P130.84 bilyon ang external debt ng Pilipinas o 3.6% na mas malaki kumpara noong nakaraang buwan. Pagdating naman sa domestic debt, lumobo ito ng P455.45 bilyon na siyasng 5.4% mas mataas noong Pebrero.
“Total [National Government’s] guaranteed obligations decreased by P5.16 billion or 1.2% month-over-month to P411.04 billion as of end-March 2022,” patuloy pa ng BTr.
“The lower level of guaranteed debt was due to the net repayment of both domestic and exernal guarantees amounting to P0.76 billion and P1.55 billion, respectively.”
Record-high uli ang utang na ito sa kasaysayan ng Pilipinas, habang dahan-dahan pa lang nagnonormalisa ang bansa mula sa pinsalang dinulot ng COVID-19 sa ekonomiya, kabuhayan at kalusugan.
Iniulat ng Treasury ang estado ng outstanding debt ng bansa ngayong binasag ng P4.9% na inflation rate noong Abril ang 2-4% target ng gobyerno, bagay na banta sa economic recovery ng Pilipinas. Ito na ang pinakamataas sa halos dalawang taon. — James Relativo at may mga ulat mula kay Ramon Royandoyan

PRANK GONE FAR. One of the pranks in a video content posted on Sunday (May 1, 2022) by “Tukomi” on their Youtube channel shows a man wearing traditional Muslim attire and about to throw a black backpack inside a barbershop. (Screengrab from Tukomi Youtube Channel)
MANILA – The National Commission on Muslim Filipinos (NCMF) is now determining legal steps against a well-known social media content creator “Tukomi” who posted on Youtube an ‘insensitive’ video titled “Manghagis ng Itim na Bag ng Naka pang Arabo“.
A day after Muslim Filipinos celebrated Eid’l Fit’r or the end of Ramadan, the NCMF Bureau of External Relations, on its Facebook page post on Tuesday night, said its lawyers are already determining the appropriate cases against the suspects.
“We have forwarded the information to the NCMF Bureau of Legal Affairs for the next steps in addressing the issue, particularly in determining the cases that may be filed against these individuals,” the statement read.
The NCMF appealed to the public to refrain from spreading the video and avoid further engagements with the content creators.
Along with other pranks posted on Sunday, the last part of the video shows a man wearing Muslim traditional attire carrying a black backpack and standing outside a barbershop in an unknown location. He suddenly throws the bag inside and runs away along with frightened people.
NCMF Commissioner Yusoph Mando commented on the post, thanking a fellow Muslim who notified him about the incident.
“Titiyakin namin na maaaksyunan ng ating tanggapan itong ganitong klaseng content ngsocmed (We will make sure the our office will take an action against this kind of socmed content),” Mando said.
Other netizens’ comments condemn the video content.
“This is not funny. Just please respect our religion,” Safeeya Salain said.
“Grabe, stereotyping ginawa niyo di ako Muslim pero respeto naman sa mga brother natin naMuslim. Mga kabataan ngayon akala nila nakakatawa yun. They don’t know the consequences at limits (This is stereotyping. I am not a Muslim but have some respect to our Muslim brothers. Kids these days think that is funny),” Nevrebyl Alegria said.
The Davao City-based content creators known as the “Tukomi brothers” are well-known pranksters who get their content ideas from suggestions of their Facebook and Youtube followers.
Their Youtube channel now has 4.16 million subscribers while they have 4.3 million followers on their Facebook page. (PNA)
MANILA, Philippines – Hinimok ng isang party-list lawmaker ang Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) na baguhin ang kasalukuyang disenyo ng P500 bill na mayroong mukha ni dating Senator Benigno Aquino Jr. at dating Pangulong President Corazon Aquino at palitan ng “more nationalistic symbol” para sa pagkakaisa ng bansa.
Inihain ni Duterte Youth party-list Representative Ducielle Marie Cardema noong Lunes, Mayo 2, ang House Resolution 2566, na humihikayat sa BSP na alisin ang aniya’y “divisive Ninoy Aquino image” sa naturang banknote.
“The image of anti-Marcos leader, Ninoy Aquino, has been placed in the 500 peso bill and caused so much divisiveness in the Philippine populace because more than half support the Philippine leader whom Ninoy Aquino fought with politically,” saad ni Cardema sa kanyang resolusyon.
Binanggit din niya ang ginawang pagpapalit kamakailan ng BSP sa disenyo ng P1000 bill polymer banknote kung saan makikita ang larawan ng Philippine eagle kapalit ng mukha nina Josefa Llanes-Escoda, Jose Abad Santos, at Vicente Lim.
“The BSP recently removed real wartime heroes like General Vicente Lim, Chief Justice Jose Abad Santos, and Girl Scout of the Philippines founder Josefa Llanes Escoda from our 1,000 peso bill even though they fought foreign invaders. They were replaced with a more nationalistic and a powerful image of the Philippine eagle,” ani Cardema.
“What more for a personality like Ninoy Aquino who only fought politically against a fellow Filipino who is also revered by more than half of the Philippine population,” dagdag niya.
Bago ito, una na ring ipinanukala ni Cardema na ibalik ang pangalan ng Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) na kilala noon sa tawag na Manila International Airport para mas madali itong mahanap ng mga biyahero at magbigay ng “sense of pride” sa mga Pilipino. RNT/ JCM
