Filipino couple, parents of six, killed in heart-wrenching US car crash ---Jay Hilotin, Senior Assistant Editor

Ryan and Jennifer Ambrosio fall victim to deadly collision, leaving 6 kids orphaned In a gut-wrenching incident, Filipino-American couple Ryan Ambrosio, 45, and Jennifer Dormitorio Ambrosio, 43, from Farmington, Michigan, fell victim to a fatal collision that left behind their six children, ages 2 to 9, orphaned. The fatal crash, caused by a 35-year-old suspect in a stolen Ford Super Duty pickup truck, unfolded at 1:30 am on Saturday, US media reported. Escalating the tragedy, the suspect, evading law enforcement, engaged in a perilous pursuit, almost colliding with a patrol car. Fleeing onto 8 Mile Road near the Southfield Freeway, the suspect turned off headlights, defying traffic flow. The collision occurred on northbound M-10, where the suspect struck the Ambrosios' GMC Terrain head-on. The Ambrosios, identified as the GMC's occupants, tragically lost their lives at the scene, Michigan State Police (MSP) reported on X. The MSP Second District stated: "The suspect driver of the pick up backed up nearly hitting the patrol car. The suspect then exited the parking lot on to 8 Mile Road near the Southfield Freeway. The troopers attempted a traffic stop and the suspect fled the scene." The police pursuit continued north before the smash-up happened, instantly killing the couple. The suspect and a 29-year-old female passenger were rushed to hospital in "serious conditions" but are expected to survive, US media reported. The aftermath prompted an 11-hour freeway closure, with the First District Investigative Response Team and MSP crash reconstruction section delving into the investigation. Results will be forwarded to the Oakland County Prosecutor for review, as confirmed by the MSP. Family members, devastated by the loss, described Ryan and Jennifer as individuals "loved by so many".

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
