Executed OFW Jakatia Pawa to be buried in Kuwait

The brother of OFW Jakatia Pawa who on Wednesday was executed in Kuwait said their family has decided to let her burial be done there. 

"Nagdesisyon na rin kaming lahat na magkakapatid. Kasi sa batas kasi ng Muslim, sa Islam, within 24 hours dapat mailibing siya. Pagka-inuwi pa namin ng Pilipinas, baka pagdating dito sa amin sa Zamboanga, wala na 'yung kapatid namin. Baka mangangamoy na 'yun. Magdudusa pa kami," said Col. Angaris Pawa on Thursday in an interview on Unang Balita with Arnold Clavio.

He also revealed that they only managed to get information regarding the case through phone calls with his sister.

"Actually, everytime 'pag ano, 'pag kausap ko 'yung kapatid ko, dun lang ako kumukuha ng information sa kapatid ko, kung ano ng development ng kaso mo," Col. Pawa said. 

"Last time na pumunta ako ng Kuwait kasama ko ang dalawang anak niya. Maganda sana 'yung outcome, kasi maganda 'yung assurance na ibinigay ng abugado niya, si Attorney Faucia Al Sabah. Kamag-anak mismo ng President ng Kuwait. 'Yung sabi by next year 2017, 'Pagbalik mo dala mo na 'yung kapatid mo.' 'Yan ang sabi, makalabas na. 'Yun pala kabaligtaran po ng pangyayari," he added.
Col. Pawa also reiterated that his sister said she was not guilty of killing her employer's 22-year-old daughter in 2007.

"Nanay talaga ng biktima ang pumatay doon," he said. 

Despite the outcome of the case, Pawa said the Philippine government was not remiss in its duty to help them.

"Hindi naman nagkulang 'yung gobyerno natin. Katulad ng administration, talagang tinutukan naman 'yung kaso ng kapatid ko. Kaso lang 'yung parents ng victim, nagmamatigas talaga sila. Ayaw makipag-negotiate. Kasi meron namang nakalaad na blood-money doon," Pawa said.

Department of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Charles Jose has previously said that the family's victim refused to give a 'tanazul' or letter of forgiveness in exchange for 'blood money' which could have saved Jakatia Pawa from execution. —Marlly Rome C. Bondoc/KG, GMA News

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
