READ: The Philippine government has filed a diplomatic protest against the illegal presence and activities of Chinese ships in the country’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ) and territorial sea.

In a statement, the National Maritime Council (NMC) said that China’s actions violate the Philippine Maritime Zones Act (Republic Act 12064) and international law, particularly the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and the 2016 Arbitral Ruling, which affirms the Philippines’ sovereign rights over its maritime zones.

The NMC strongly opposed the continued illegal presence and operations of Chinese vessels and the provocative actions of the PLA-N helicopter within the country’s maritime zones.

The NMC also emphasized that these actions by Chinese vessels and aircraft disregard Philippine and international laws, as they contradict the exercise of freedom of navigation and innocent passage, as well as the rights and duties of other States in the Philippines’ EEZ under the Philippine Maritime Zones Act, 1982 UNCLOS, and the 2016 Arbitral Ruling.

The NMC’s statement followed the positioning of China’s monster ship within the Philippines’ EEZ, located 97 nautical miles off the coast of Zambales.

BASAHIN: May posibilidad pang bumaba ang presyo ng bigas sa merkado sa mga susunod na araw, kasunod ng malaking pagbaba ng presyo ng imported na bigas sa world market, ayon sa Department of Agriculture (DA).

Sa isang pahayag sinabi ni DA Spokesperson Assistant Secretary Arnel de Mesa na bumaba ng halos 15% ang presyo ng bigas mula Vietnam, ang pangunahing pinagmumulan ng imported rice ng bansa.

Aniya, bumaba rin ang presyo ng bigas mula Thailand at India.

Dahil dito, pinag-aaralan ng ahensya na magpatupad ng mas mababang maximum suggested retail price (MSRP).

Ayon kay de Mesa, posibleng ipatupad ang presyo ng kada kilo ng 25% broken rice sa P45, habang ang P58 MSRP para sa 5% broken imported rice ay maaaring bumaba rin.

Tiniyak ng DA na patuloy nilang babantayan ang presyo ng bigas upang masigurong abot-kaya ito para sa mga mamimili.

𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗: Several cause-oriented organizations are currently finalizing a complaint to be filed with the Supreme Court, questioning the constitutional violations in the signed 2026 national budget, amounting to Php 6.326 billion.

On December 30, 2024, President Ferdinand “BBM” Marcos, Jr. signed the General Appropriations Act, exercising his veto power over Php 194 billion allocated to projects deemed non-priority by the administration, including flood control projects.

Kenneth Isaiah Abante, coordinator of the Citizens’ Budget Tracker, stated that the approved budget failed to comply with existing laws, including provisions of the Sin Tax Law (Republic Act No. 10351) and the Universal Health Care Law (R.A. No. 11223).
These laws allocate a percentage of revenues from sin products, the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation, and the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office to subsidize the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation. However, Congress allocated zero subsidy for this purpose.

The budget also violates the Constitution by failing to prioritize education, as the sector received a smaller allocation compared to the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).

President Marcos vetoed Php 26 billion worth of DPWH projects, but Php 263 billion worth of projects added by Congress without proper supporting documents remain in the budget.

However, the Department of Budget and Management stated that the education sector still holds the largest allocation at Php 1.055 trillion, while the DPWH budget was reduced to Php 1.007 trillion after the President’s cuts.

People’s organizations also questioned the allocation of massive funds to programs such as the Ayuda sa Kapos ang Kita Program (AKAP) and the Medical Assistance to Indigent and Financially Incapacitated Program (MAIP), which received Php 26 billion and Php 41.160 billion, respectively.

Abante argued that lawmakers’ involvement in determining who receives guarantee letters (GLs) and how much is allocated under these programs violates the “separation of powers” and the “constitutional doctrine of non-delegability” of legislative power.

The only solution seen by various groups and organizations is to file cases with the Supreme Court to address the excessive pork allocations in the 2025 budget. Abante described the national budget as a “license to steal the dignity of Filipinos,” claiming it will likely be used to gain an advantage in the midterm elections.

𝗕𝗔𝗦𝗔𝗛𝗜𝗡: Kasalukuyang tinatapos ng mga cause-oriented organizations ang reklamong ihahain sa Supreme Court na kumukuwestiyon sa naging paglabag sa Konstitusyon ng nilagdaang 2026 national budget na may kabuuang halagang Php 6.326 billion.

Noong December 30, 2024 ay nilgdaan ni President Ferdinand “BBM” Marcos, Jr. ang general appropriations act kung saan ginamit niya ang kanyang veto power para sa halagang Php 194 billion para sa mga proyektong hindi prioridad ng administrasyon kabilang ang mga flood control projects.

Sinabi ni Kenneth Isaiah Abante, coordinator ng Citizens’ Budget Tracker, may mga hindi sinunod na mga umiiral na batas ang aprubadong budget, kabilang dito ang probisyon ng Sin Tax Law (Republic Act No. 10351) at Universal Health Care Law (R.A. No. 11223) na naglalaan ng porsiyentong kita mul sa sin products, Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation at Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office para ilaan bilang subsidiya sa Philippine Health Insurance Corporation, pero zero subsidy ang ginawa ng Kongreso.

Paglabag din sa Konstitusyon ang hindi pagbibigay prayoridad sa edukasyon dahil mas maliit ang busdget na inilaan sa sektor kumpara sa Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).

Kabilang sa ibineto ni Pangulong BBM ang halagang Php 26 billion mula sa DPWH ngunit nananatiling nasa Php 263 billion na proyekto ang idinagdag ng Kongreso na walang mga kaukulang mga suportadong papeles.

Pero sinabi ng Department of Budget and Management na education sector parin ang may pinakamalaking alokasyon sa halagang Php 1.055 trillion habang ang DPWH ay nasa Php 1.007 trillion na lamang matapos tapyasan ng Pangulong BBM.

Kinuwestiyon din ng mga people’s organizations ang paglalaan ng napakalaking pondo sa mga programang Ayuda sa Kapos ang Kita Program (AKAP) at Medical Assistance to Indigent and Financially Incapacitated Program (MAIP) na may Php 26 billion at Php 41.160 billion na alokasyon.

Punto ni Abante, ang pakikialam ng mga mambabatas sa kung sino at magkano ang ilalabas na guarantee letters (GLs) sa dalawang programang nabanggit ay paglabag sa “separation of powers” at sa “consyititional doctrine of non-delegability” ng legislative power.

Ang nakikita lamang na solusyon ng iba’t iban mga grupo at organisasyon ay magsumite ng mga kaso sa SC bilang solusyon sa napakaraming pork allocations sa 2025 budget. Tinawag nga ni Abante ang national budget bilang “lisensiya para nakawin ang dignidad ng mga Filipino” dahil tiyak na gagamitin ito bilang bentahe sa midterm elections.

𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗: After nearly 18 years, actress Rochelle Barrameda is hopeful that justice will finally be served for the horrific crime committed against her sister, Ruby Rose Barrameda, in 2007.

On January 10, 2025, Lope Jimenez, a prominent businessman in the fishing industry and the prime suspect in the brutal murder of Ruby Rose, was arrested in Mandaluyong City. Ruby Rose was infamously encased in a steel drum, filled with cement, and buried in Manila Bay waters off Navotas city to conceal the crime.

Jimenez is the uncle of Manuel “Third” Jimenez III, Ruby Rose’s husband. Both Manuel III and his father, Manuel Jimenez Jr., had previously been tried for Ruby Rose’s murder but were acquitted.

Lope Jimenez was arrested in connection with a separate murder case that exhibited a similar modus operandi. The case involved a businessman who was reported missing on January 5, 2025. Jimenez allegedly operated under the alias "Victor Vidal Dueñas."

Two other suspects, Noel Bañegas Cape and Mervin Juane Armas, admitted to abducting the businessman in Barangay 183, Pangarap, Caloocan City. They led authorities to the victim’s body in San Jose del Monte, Bulacan.

Cape and Armas revealed that a man, identified only as "Dwight," had promised them Php 100,000 as payment. They arranged to meet Dwight at a fast-food restaurant in Wack Wack, Mandaluyong City, on January 10, 2025.

On the same day, agents from the Quezon City Police District’s Criminal Investigation and Detection Group Unit apprehended Jimenez as he exited the restaurant. Cape and Armas positively identified him as their contact.

The arrest has reignited interest anew in the Barrameda case. Ruby Rose went missing on March 12, 2007, and her remains were discovered in 2009, encased in a cement-filled steel drum on a property owned by Buena Suerte Jimenez Fishing and Trading Co., a business under Jimenez’s name.

Witness Manuel Montero previously testified that he was part of a group paid Php 50,000 each to kill Ruby Rose.

Rochelle Barrameda disclosed that the suspect had been in hiding for years under various aliases, including "Victor Vidal Dueñas" and "James Paul Dwight." She identified him as one of those responsible for her sister’s murder.

The recent developments have renewed hope for the Barrameda family that justice for Ruby Rose may finally be achieved.

𝗕𝗔𝗦𝗔𝗛𝗜𝗡: Makalipas ang halos 18 taon ay umaasa ang aktres na si Rochelle Barrameda na sa wakas ay mabibigyan na ng karampatang hustisya ang karumal-dumal na krimeng ginawa sa kanyang kapatid na si Ruby Rose Barrameda noong 2007.

Nahuli nitong January 10, 2025 sa Mandaluyong city si Lope Jimenez na isang kilalang negsyante sa industriya ng pngingisda at pangunahing susek sa brutal na pagpatay kay Barrameda na isinilid sa lisang drum at inilibing sa dagat Manila Bay na bahagi ng Navotas city upang maitago ang krimen.

Si Jimenez (Lope) ay tiyuhin ni Manuel “Third” Jimenez III na asawa ni Barrameda. Si Third at ang ama nitong si Manuel Jimenez, Jr. ay dati nang nilitis ngunit na-absuwelto sa kasong pagpatay.

Si Jimenez (Lope) ay inaresto para sa isang hiwalay na kaso ng pagpatay na may kaparehong modus operandi. Isang negosyante nag naiulat na nawawala noon pang January 5, 2025. Nagpakilala ang lalaki bilang si Victor Vidal Dueñas.

Nahuli ang dalawa pang suspek na sina Noel Bañegas Cape at Mervin Juane Armas na umamin sa pagdukot sa negosyante sa Barangay 183, Pangarap, Caloocan city. Itinuro ng dalawa sa mga awtoridad kung saan matatagpuan ang bangkay sa San Jose del Monte city, Bulacan.

Ayon kina Cape at Armas, pinangakuan sila ng isang nagpakilalang “Dwight” ng Php 100,000 na kabayaran. Nakipagkita ito sa isang fast food restaurant sa Wack Wack, Mandaluyong city noong January 10, 2025.

Sa nasabing petsa ay nahuli ng Criminal Investigation and Detection Group Unit ng Quezon City Police District si Jimenez (Lope) matapos lumabas ng isang restaurant. Positibo itong kinilala ng dalawa bilang kanilang contact.

Muling nabuhay ang interes sa kas oni Barrameda dahil sa pagkakahuli. Matatandaan na si Barrameda (Ruby Rose) ay nawala noong March 12, 2007, at ang kanyang mga labi ay natagpuan noong 2009, nakalagay sa isang drum na may semento sa pag-aari ng Buena Suerte Jimenez Fishing and Trading Co., na pagmamay-ari ni Jimenez (Lope).

Ayon sa saksing si Manuel Montero, kabilang siya sa grupong binayaran ng Php 50,000 bawat isa upang patayin Barrameda.

Sinabi ng aktres na Barrameda (Rochelle) na matagal nang nagtatago ang suspek gamit ang iba’t ibang alyas, kabilang ang "Victor Vidal Dueñas" at "James Paul Dwight." Kinilala niya ito bilang isa sa mga responsable sa pagpatay sa kanyang kapatid.

Ang mga pinakabagong kaganapan ay nagbigay ng bagong pag-asa sa pamilya Barrameda na ang hustisya para sa pinaslang na kaanak ay maaaring makamit na.

𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗: The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) is set to expand its reach to Filipinos experiencing hunger in 2025. From the “Walang Gutom Kitchen” located at the Nasdake Building, F.B. Harrison Street, Pasay City, similar facilities will be established in three regions with the highest prevalence of hunger in the country.

In line with the directive of DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian, the program will be scaled up this year and replicated in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), the Eastern Visayas region, particularly in the provinces of Leyte and Samar, and Bicol, which have the highest poverty rates in the country.

The food bank program was launched on December 16, 2024, to collect donations from hotels and restaurants consisting of food that was not served but remains safe and edible.

This initiative complements the department’s anti-poverty program, the “Walang Gutom” Food Stamp Program, which in 2024 has already provided assistance to 300,000 individuals out of the target one million “food poor” Filipinos.

According to the latest survey by Social Weather Stations conducted in December 2024, 68 percent of Filipino families consider themselves poor, and 51 percent reported experiencing hunger. These figures are the highest since 2004.

The department explained that the soup kitchen is open to anyone experiencing hunger, including construction workers earning low wages and those unable to afford food.

The DSWD assured the public that the food served in the kitchen comes from donations and is not “pagpag” or leftover scraps, ensuring the safety and health of those receiving assistance.

The facility opens at 6:00 AM and operates until supplies run out for breakfast and lunch. Around 200 volunteers work together to maintain its operations.

Reducing the high number of hungry individuals remains one of the top priorities of the Marcos administration.

𝗕𝗔𝗦𝗔𝗛𝗜𝗡: Mas palalawakin pa ng Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) ang pag-abot sa mga nakararanas ng gutom na mga Filipino ngayong 2025 dahil mula sa “Walang Gutom Kitchen” na nasa Nasdake Building, F.B. Harrison street, Pasay city, ay magkakaroon nito sa tatlong rehiyon na may pinakamalaganap na kagutuman sa buong bansa.

Alinsunod sa direktiba ni DSWD secretary Rex Gatchalian, palalawakin ngayong taon ang programa at ma-duplika ito sa Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), sa Eastern Visayas region partikular sa mga lalawigan ng Leyte at Samar, at ang Bicolandi ana may mataas na antas ng kahirapan sa bansa.

Ang food bank program ay sinimulan noong December 16, 2024 kung sn ay nangangalap ng donasyon mula sa mga hotel at restaurant mula sa mga pagkaing hindi nagamit ngunit ligtas at maayos pa ring kainin.

Kabiyak ito ng programa ng kagawaran kontra kahirapan sa bansa ang “Walang Gutom” Food Stamp Program na nitong 2024 ay nakapag-abot na ng tulong sa 300,000 indibidwal mula sa target na isang milyong “food poor.”

Sa pinakahuling survey ng Social Weather Stations nitong December 2024, nasa 68 percent ng mga pamilyang Filipino ang nagsabing sila ay mahirap at 51 percent ang nakararanas ng kagutuman. Ang datus ay pinakamataas simula noong 2004.

Paliwanag ng kagawaran, ang soup kitchen ay bukas para sa mga nagugutom katulad ng mga construction workers na maliit lamang ang kinikita at mga walang pambili ng pagkain.

Pagtitiyak ng DSWD, ang mga pagkaing inihahain ay mga donasyon at hindi mga “pagpag” o tira-tirang pagkain para maiwasang magkasakit ang mga naaabutan ng tulong.

Nagbubukas ang pasilidad ng 6:00 ng umaga at nagtatagal hangga’t may sapat na suplay para sa almusal at tanghalian. Mayroong nasa 200 na mga boluntaryo ang nagtutulong-tulong para sa operasyon nito.

Ang pagtapyas sa malaking bilang ng mga nagugutom ang isa sa mga prioridad ng Marcos administration.

“𝐏𝐀𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐘𝐀 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓” 𝐍𝐆 𝐂𝐂𝐏, 𝐌𝐀𝐒 𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐀𝐖𝐀𝐊 𝐀𝐓 𝐁𝐔𝐊𝐀𝐒 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐀 𝐒𝐀 𝐋𝐀𝐇𝐀𝐓; 𝐌𝐀𝐆𝐀𝐆𝐀𝐍𝐀𝐏 𝐍𝐆𝐀𝐘𝐎𝐍𝐆 𝐅𝐄𝐁𝐑𝐔𝐀𝐑𝐘 𝟏 – 𝟐, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓

𝗕𝗔𝗦𝗔𝗛𝗜𝗡: Bubuksan ng Cultural Center of the Philippines ang taunang pagdiriwang ng National Arts Month 2025 sa pamamagitan ng “19th CCP Pasinaya Open House Festival” sa February 1 at 2, 2025 sa iba’t ibang lugar sa buong bansa na ginawang mas kapana-panabik, mas pinalawak, at bukas para sa lahat.

Katuwang ang National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA), layunin ng NAM 2025 na akayin ang publiko mula sa iba’t ibang sektor ng lipunan upang tuklasin, suportahan, at ipagdiwang ang masigla at maunlad na sining ng bansa.

Sa pagtutulungan ng mga nangungunang institusyon ng sining at kultura sa bansa, hindi lamang ipapakita ng CCP Pasinaya ang husay ng mga Filipino nasa larangan ng sining kundi magpapalalim din ng pagpapahalaga sa mga porma ng sining bilang bahagi ng pagkakakilanlan at pamanang kultura ng bansa, sa pag-uugnay ng mga komunidad, paghikayat sa malikhaing pag-iisip, at pagpreserba sa mayamang tradisyon nito.

Ngayong taon ay kabahagi ng pestibal ang mga regional partners Clark Development Corporation, mga lalawigan ng Batangas at Negros Occidental, at Sorsogon city.

Muli rin itong babalik sa Iloilo city sa pangunguna ng Iloilo Museum of Contemporary Art (ILOMOCA) at Tagum city, Davao del Norte sa tulong ng Musikahan sa Tagum Foundation, Inc.

Dito sa Metro Manila, gaganapin ang CCP Pasinaya sa iba’t ibang lugar tulad ng Circuit Makati, The Metropolitan Theater, Intramuros, Aliw Theater, at iba pang ka-partner na museo at galeriya, bilang pagdiriwang ng makulay na sining at kulturang Pilipino.

Ang mga paboritong bahagi ng festival na “Palihan,” “Palabas,” “Paseo Museo,” “Palitan,” “Pagtitipon,” at “Pamilihan” ay nagsasama-sama ng iba't ibang art groups at individual artists mula sa iba’t ibang bahagi ng Pilipinas. Mag-aalok ang mga ito ng mahigit 200 performances, workshops, at activities na nagtatampok ng pinakamahusay sa musika, teatro, sayaw, visual arts, pelikula, at literatura.

Sa “Palihan,” ay maaaring sumali ang publiko sa mga workshop ng iba’t ibang disiplina ng sining. Ang “Palabas” naman ay para sa mga pagtatanghal na tampok ang CCP resident companies, pati na rin ang mga propesyonal, amateur, at community-based artists at arts organizations.

Samantala, ang “Palitan” ay isang arts market kung saan maaaring maglahad ang mga pre-registered na kalahok ng kanilang productions at iba pang nilalaman sa mga prospective producers mula sa loob at labas ng bansa; habang ang mga CCP Kaisa sa Sining regional network members ay magsasama-sama sa “Pagtitipon.”

Ang “Paseo Museo” naman ay nagbibigay ng hop-on, hop-off tour sa mga ka-partner na museo at galeriya sa mga lungsod ng Maynila at Pasay.

Isang bagong tampok ngayong taon ang “Palaro,” na nagtatampok ng mga final output ng mga awardee ng CCP Game and Comics Development Grant na nagpapakita ng mitolohiyang Filipino, simulation kasama ang iconic Filipino heroes, paggalugad sa mga landmark ng Pilipinas, puzzles, at story-driven adventure.

Sa patakarang “See-All-You-Can, Workshop-All-You-Can, Network-all-You-Can, Pay-What-You-Can,” inaasahan ng CCP Pasinaya na makaakit ng mahigit sa 50,000 na mga manonood. Noong 2024, umabot sa humigit-kumulang 45,347 ang dumalo sa anim na venues sa Maynila, Iloilo, at Tagum. Nakipagtulungan ito sa 26 na embahada, 17 museyo at galeriya, 142 performing groups at artists, at 44 na Pamilihan vendors.

Pagpupugay 2025

ℙ𝔸𝔾ℙ𝕌ℙ𝕌𝔾𝔸𝕐 𝟚𝟘𝟚𝟝: Video courtesy of 𝗡𝗼𝗻𝗼𝘆 𝗧𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗮, 𝗥𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗼 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗮𝘀 𝟴𝟰𝟲 𝗸𝗛𝘇 According to estimates by the Manila Police District (MPD), as of 11:00 PM on January 8, 2025, approximately 51,000 devotees were gathered around Rizal Park, lining up for the “Pagpupugay” (formerly known as the “Pahalik”). It is expected that millions of devotees will flock to the area before dawn, when the “Traslacion 2025” begins. This annual procession involves the journey of the image of the Black Nazarene back to Quiapo Church (Minor Basilica and National Shrine of Jesus Nazareno), a tradition that dates back to between 1767 and 1787. The queue for the “Pagpupugay” started as early as January 7, 2025, allowing devotees to touch the feet of the image displayed at Quirino Grandstand. Despite the two to four-hour wait, the faithful endure for just a few seconds of contact with the miraculous image. The Catholic Church believes that the large number of devotees demonstrating their faith in the Black Nazarene reflects the Filipino people's trust in God as the source of blessings, mercy, compassion, love, and forgiveness.
