Bello mulls recalling PHL labor attachés in Canada
Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III on Saturday said he is considering recalling the labor attachés in Canada over the trash issue between the two countries.
"Kung hindi gaganda ang panahon sa pagitan ng ating bansa at Canada, baka ako rin ay magde-decide na ire-recall natin ang ating labor attaché, yung namamahala sa ating POLO [Philippine Overseas Labor Office] office doon sa Vancouver at saka Toronto. Pero pinag-aaralan nating mabuti," Bello said in an interview on Super Radyo dzBB.

Bello added that overseas Filipino workers going to Canada or are already in Canada will not be affected by the issue.
"Wala naman," he said.
There are over 800,000 Filipinos living and working in Canada.
On Thursday, Foreign Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr. said he has ordered the recall of several ranking Philippine officials in Canada after it missed the May 15 deadline to take back the tons of trash shipped to the Philippines a few years ago.
Malacañang said on Thursday the government's decision to recall its officials in Canada over the garbage row was a warning that Manila is ready to end its decades-old diplomatic ties with Ottawa.
Canada's foreign ministry said it was "disappointed" by the Philippines' decision to withdraw its top diplomats, but said it would continue to engage to resolve the issue.
Bello said the trash issue is more than just about garbage.
"May koneksiyon 'yan sa karangalan natin bilang isang bansa. Kung bakit itong Canada, basura lang eh, bakit 'di na lang bawiin? Kasi unang-una, mali ang pagkadala ng basura nila dito sa ating bansa. Hindi naman tayo basurahan. Hindi naman tama 'yan," he said.
"Ewan ko kung anong nangyari kung bakit pinayagan ng dating administrasyon kung sino mang administrasyon 'yon," Bello added. —KG, GMA News

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
