: An alleged image of Jesus Christ's face appeared on the limestone wall inside the baptistry of the Miagao Church in the province of Iloilo.

"It took me months to finally see this image despite numerous attempts as I was wrongly looking at the other corner," BN Naveros Montealto wrote on Facebook.

"Thanks to a new acquaintance who prompted me to go inside and see the image that bears a resemblance to the face of Christ," he added.

The Miagao Church is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It was built in 1787.

: Kapamilya actor Sam Milby has revealed on his Instagram account that he has type 2 diabetes.

He posted a photo of his blood sugar glucose test kit that reads “525 mg/dL.”

In his caption, Sam wrote: “I've always thought of myself as a healthy person. I don't have a sweet tooth, bihira din mag junk food, pero last year I found out na may type 2 diabetes na ako.”

Sam added, “My parents and grandparents never had it. I just wish I got checked up earlier nung pre diabetes pa. My advice - don't ignore the symptoms (my main symptoms - always thirsty and urinating often) and get checked up regularly.”

According to "Everyday Health", if blood sugar goes as high as 500 mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter), the person may experience symptoms such as thirst, the urge to urinate more often, weight loss, low energy and drowsiness.| via ABS-CBN News

: An interior ministry statement carried by the official KUNA news agency said the oil-rich Gulf state and Manila had reached an "agreement to resume the recruitment of domestic workers" after a "breakthrough" in talks.

"The countries agreed to form a joint committee pertinent to domestic labour affairs," the statement said.

This "would convene in a routine manner to address any sticking points that could potentially emerge", it added.

Kuwait suspended all new visas for Philippine nationals in May last year after relations soured over the murder of domestic worker Jullebee Ranara.

Her charred body was found in the Kuwaiti desert in January 2023, prompting Manila to stop sending first-time workers to Kuwait.

It sparked the latest in a series of spats between the Philippines and Kuwait, which is home to a sizable domestic worker population.

In 2020, the Philippines reimposed a ban on its citizens going to work in Kuwait after a Filipina was allegedly killed by her employer.

That incident echoed a 2018 row between the two countries that began with the discovery of the remains of a murdered Filipina maid in her employers' freezer.| via Agence France-Presse

: The camp of singer-actor Ronnie Liang said he has no "personal dealings" with former presidential spokesman Harry Roque days after their video from 2022 has resurfaced.

In Roque's video with Liang, which appears to be part of his vlog The Spox Hour, he was being playful as they visited the Dinagat Island.

"Maya-maya, tignan natin kung mapapa-topless natin si Ronnie Liang," he said. "Ako, magta-topless ako. See you later!"

Liang is also a licensed private pilot and a Philippine Army reservist.

In a statement, Liang's lawyer Rafael Vicente Calinsan said he was on Dinagat Island to distribute relief goods for the victims of Typhoon Odette as part of his duties as a reservist.

"Ronnie only chanced upon Atty. Roque after the humanitarian aid mission, during the tour of the island," Calinisan said, adding that they were accompanied by a number of soldiers, policemen, and officials from the local government unit.

"The courteous and well-mannered person that he is, Ronnie gamely participated in the vlog of Atty. Roque," he added.

Calinisan pointed out that Liang is not an "alaga" of Roque amid several speculations based on the video.

"While Ronnie and I personally had a good laugh watching the videos, instead of these innuendos, our efforts are better spent investigating the ill-effects of POGOs in the country, or pushing for laws that advocate gender equality,” he said.

Liang, meanwhile, said he's a proud ally of the LGBTQIA+ community.

"My whole team and I want to take this opportunity to show our support to the call for equality and inclusivity for everyone,” he said.

Liang also commended Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte and Pride PH for the "Love Laban 2 Everyone Pride Festival" event last June 22 at the Quezon Memorial Circle.

Amid the issue, Liang on Facebook shared his thoughts about public perception.

"When people hear good things about you, they stay silent. When they hear bad things about you, they spread it like wildfire. But when they hear nothing about you, they make things up," he said, without mentioning specifics.

"However, it’s important to remember that you cannot control what others say about you. Instead, focus on the best version of yourself and let your actions speak for themselves," he continued. "Over time, your character and integrity will shine through, and the people who matter most will recognize and appreciate you for who you are."

Roque became the talk of the town as documents bearing his signature were found in a POGO raid in Pampanga. Documents also showed that he hired Mister Supranational Philippines 2016 Alberto Rodulfo De La Serna as an executive assistant in 2021, with a Salary Grade of 20 (nearly P60,000).

Roque stated he's providing financial support to De La Serna's trip to Poland, Ukraine, and Italy from Oct. 9, 2023, to Oct. 18, 2023.

In an interview with News5, he said De La Serna came from a political family, with his grandfather serving as governor in Bohol and maternal grandmother as vice mayor.

"Siya ay isang college graduate at siya ay kinuha ko bilang isang IT," he added, noting De La Serna and his friends handled Roque's social media accounts when he was still spokesman and during the elections, when he ran as senator.

He also previously said that the documents found in the raid at Lucky South 99 compound were owned by his former long-time staff, who's now studying in Clark, which is close to the POGO hub.

Roque said the documents were not criminal in nature, in line with the findings of the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission (PAOCC), which cleared his name.

The PAOCC said Roque was a lawyer for Whirlwind Corporation, the company that leased its property to Lucky South 99, but noted that there's "nothing criminal" for lawyering for the corporation.| via Philstar.com
