Prime suspect in killing of OFW found in Korea septic tank already in PHL —envoy




The Filipino suspect in the killing of an OFW whose skeletal remains were found in a septic tank in South Korea has already returned home to the Philippines, Philippine Ambassador Raul Hernandez said Tuesday, citing information from Korean police.
Interviewed on QRT, Hernandez said there are four suspects in the killing but the police have "zeroed in" on one.
"Initially, meron apat na suspects pero na-zero in nang pulis 'yung isang prime suspect na Pilipino na nandiyan na sa Pilipinas," he said.
"Hindi pa nila pinapangalanan 'yung taong ito at wala pa rin circumstances o ibang information tungkol dito."
The QRT report, citing the Korean Consulate in Cebu City, said the victim has been identified as Michael Angelo Claveria, a factory worker. It said the confirmation came from the Korean police that conducted DNA test on the remains found inside the septic tank.
Claveria's family has already been informed of the incident and they are appealing for justice.
Hernandez, however, said the Philippine Embassy has yet to receive the full report on the DNA test from Korean authorities.
"Ansabi sa amin ng pulis, ibinigay sa kanila ng National Forensics Service 'yung complete result ng DNA test pati na rin 'yung full report this coming week, so inasahan po namin na matatanggap namin 'yung full report by early next week," he said.
As for the motive for the killing, Hernandez said they are still in the dark about it.
"Sa ngayon puro speculations pa lang 'yung naririnig natin. Maganda hintayin natin 'yung result ng investigation," he said. —KBK, 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
