2 men face UAE court for alleged rape on Pinay in bus

Two drivers faced a United Arab Emirates court Monday for allegedly raping a Filipina inside a rented bus last December, a UAE news site reported Tuesday.
 
Both men had been arrested inside their bus about three days after the alleged crime in Al Karama area, Khaleej Times reported.
 
One of the men allegedly introduced himself as a businessman and lured the Filipina to go out with him from a nightclub, the Court of First Instance heard. The two were aged 33 and 27, the same report said.
 
The two men face charges of rape, kidnap by force and threat, impersonation of police officers, forcible theft, and possession of lost property. 
 
The report said that according to the 31-year-old Filipina, she met one of the men at a nightclub after 1 a.m. on December 20. She said he claimed to be a trader with an exhibition at the (Dubai World) Trade Center.
 
"He convinced me to go out with him to his hotel room where he said he had alcohol. He promised he would help me find a job.” she was quoted in the report as saying.
 
She said the man then had her ride a cab that dropped them near a hotel. But he then walked her to a bus parked nearby and shoved her inside.
 
The man then allegedly told the Filipina he was a police officer and slapped her on her cheek. He showed her an ID card which she could not see properly.
 
The Filipina then realized there was another man in the bus, who drove for a while before he parked somewhere in Al Garhoud.
 
He then moved from the driver’s seat and took her to the back of the bus where he raped her and made her perform a sexual act on him, the Khaleej Times report said.
 
The man then drove again for a while and parked in an area close to the airport, while his companion raped the Filipina again.
 
The Filipina said the men threatened to send her to jail and get her deported if she did not have sex with them.
 
She said they took her gold ring, Dh300 and her smart phone, then drove away after telling her to step off the bus. The Filipina filed a complaint with the police.
 
The Filipina told investigators she had a hard time sleeping and had been having nightmares.
 
Following the men's arrest, one said he planned to go to the nightclub and meet any girl and lure her to accompany him so that they would rape her.
 
Meanwhile, a search of the suspects' bus yielded an ensign of the Ministry of Interior and a small badge with the UAE national flag, as well as a walkie-talkie.
 
One of the suspects admitted he found the lost items when he worked as a driver for the military police students.
 
The Khaleej Times report said the two defendants were also linked to two similar criminal cases. — Joel Locsin/RSJ, GMA News

UP Diliman Professors Share Scientists’ Procurement Struggles at Senate Hearing

By Harvey Sapigao Senate hearing of the revised procurement law (Photo credit: Senate of the Philippines) College of Science (CS) Dean Giovanni Tapang held up a little white device as he finished his presentation. “This is a ₱150,000 component,” he described. “Isa lang gumagawa nito sa buong mundo, pero ang hirap pilitin sila na magregister sa PhilGEPS,” he continued, referring to the requirement that foreign companies must first register to the Philippine Government Electronic Procurement System (PhilGEPS) before they can sell products to local scientists. Marine Science Institute (MSI) Deputy Director Dr. Irene Rodriguez explained that the small device is a resin that filters metals in water. “May budget tayo,” she said, “pero ang problema ko ay ‘yung resin na ito.” This and other bottlenecks brought about by the procurement law, or the Government Procurement Reform Act (RA 9184), slow down research and development in the country.

Biden said set to make push for demilitarized Palestinian state as part of new doctrine ---By LAZAR BERMAN

New York Times’ Thomas Friedman, who’s close to the US administration, says emerging doctrine would include Saudi-Israeli normalization, 2-state solution, and campaign against Iran US President Joe Biden’s administration is homing in on a new doctrine involving an unprecedented push to immediately advance the creation of a demilitarized but viable Palestinian state, The New York Times’ Thomas Friedman reported on Thursday. The plan, Friedman wrote, “would involve some form of US recognition of a demilitarized Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip that would come into being only once Palestinians had developed a set of defined, credible institutions and security capabilities to ensure that this state was viable and that it could never threaten Israel.” White House officials “have been consulting experts inside and outside the US government about different forms this recognition of Palestinian statehood might take,” revealed Friedman. What he termed the new “Biden Doctrin
