Mocha to Sen. Villanueva: Kulang na lang sabihin na nandidiri kayo sa akin


Presidential Communications Operations Office Assistant Secretary Mocha Uson on Wednesday expressed disappointment over Senator Joel Villanueva’s remarks on the distinction they both received from the University of Santo Tomas Alumni Association.
In a Facebook post, Mocha said that Villanueva's remark just fell short of saying he was “disgusted” with her.
“Sen Joel Villanueva hinahangaan pa naman kita kasi anak ka ng isang ginagalang kong Pastor. Nakalimutan mo ata na ang ating Panginoong Hesus mismo ang kasama niya ay ang mga nagkamali sa lipunan o mga makasalanan,” Uson wrote.
She was referring to Eddie Villanueva, the leader of the Christian group Jesus is Lord Church Worldwide.
“Pero kayo kulang nalang sabihin niyo na nandidiri kayo sa akin. 'Wag kang mag-alala someday magkikita uli tayo…” Uson wrote, but did not elaborate.
Uson attached to her post a screenshot of an earlier report on Villanueva’s reaction upon learning the criteria for the Thomasian Alumni Award for Government Service from the UST Alumni Association, and one of a biblical verse about Jesus Christ dining with “tax collectors and sinners.”
She was reacting to Villanueva’s remark that he would have thought twice about accepting the award had he known that Uson was also a recipient.
“Pag-iisipan kong mabuti ‘yun,” the Senator had said.
Uson received last Sunday, January 21, the alumni award. The university’s student council and some alumni criticized the awarding, with some recipients indicating plans to return their own awards.
In response, Uson said, “PAALALA: Ang amplaya ay kinakain hindi inuugali.”
Same award was also given to the following UST alumni in government service:
  • Senator Joel Villanueva
  • Representative Jose Atienza Jr.
  • Senate Secretary General Lutgardo Barbo
  • Representative Joaquin Chipeco Jr.
  • National Labor Relations Commissioner Mary Ann Plata-Daytia
  • Representative Eugene Michael de Vera
  • Court of Appeals Justice Myra Fernandez
  • Representative Marlyn Alonte-Naguiat
  • Representative Abigail Faye Ferriol-Pascual
  • Justice Amy Lazaro-Javier
  • Trade Secretary Ramon Nolasco
  • Representative Emi Calixto-Rubiano
  • Representative Frederick Siao
  • Representative Jose Tejada
  • Representative Lord Allan Jay Velasco
  • Representative Tom Villarin
  • Representative Rosenda Ann Ocampo
  • Intramuros Administration Administrator Guiller Asido

Nitong Setyembre 21, ang POPCOM ay nagsagawa ng isang “parent-teen talk webinar” gamit ang Zoom, kung saan ang isang “interactive program” ang nagbigay ng naaayon na kaalaman at kasanayan sa mga magulang, habang tumulong ito sa mga anak na teenager na maabot ang kanilang buong potensyal. Hinikayat din nito ang mga nanay at tatay na sumali sa malayang usapan, lalo na sa mga usapin ukol sa sex at sekswalidad, na nakikitang makakatulong upang bumaba ang mga bilang ng mga pagbubuntis sa hanay ng mga kabataan.

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. UPD leaders were invited to the Senate he

Gaza war rages into fourth month as Blinken tours Middle East Adel Zaanoun with Ilan Ben Zion in Jerusalem, --- Agence France-Presse

The Israel-Hamas war raging in Gaza entered its fourth month on Sunday as the army again pounded the besieged Palestinian territory and US top diplomat Antony Blinken was back in the region seeking to avoid a wider escalation. Israeli airstrikes overnight and early Sunday killed at least 64 people in the Hamas-run Palestinian territory, said its health ministry. It said two journalists were killed when their car was struck. The ministry, medics, and witnesses identified them as Mustafa Thuria, a video stringer for Agence France-Presse, and Hamza Wael Dahdouh, the son of Al Jazeera's bureau chief in Gaza who earlier lost his wife and two other children in an Israeli strike. Israeli bombardment also claimed other civilian lives in the southern city of Khan Yunis and in the Rafah area near the Egyptian border, where many of the territory's displaced people have sought refuge, AFP correspondents reported. Relatives were mourning the dead at Khan Yunis' European Hospital, am
