Davao City police on alert for Quiboloy's arrest Hernel Tocmo, --- ABS-CBN News

Davao City police are ready to be deployed to assist the lead agency in arresting televangelist Apollo Quiboloy, after he failed to appear in Senate hearings regarding sexual abuse allegations. Police Captain Hazel Tuazon, spokesperson of the Davao City Police, said they are still waiting for coordination with the Senate's Sergeant-at-Arms, and are ready to assist them in the arrest of the controversial pastor. "Pag-mag coordinate po sila sa amin, mas mabuti, para maiwasan natin kung may gulo. Iwasan natin na magkagulo dito sa Davao City," Tuazon said Thursday. Quiboloy arrest ordered by Zubiri Tuazon said the Calinan and Buhangin Police Stations, where Quiboloy's prayer mountain and church are located, are also on alert on the developments regarding the church leader's whereabouts. "Sa pagdakip, i-ano pa namin yan from the chief operations at sa chief ng warrant section namin, pero i-assure po namin na ang DCPO ay ready anytime kung magpunta dito ang sergeant at arms at iba pang officers. May mga naka-standby po tayong PNP personnel na ready to be deployed to assist any from the Senate," she said. Tuazon also said that the DCPO has no information yet on the whereabouts of Quiboloy, or if he is going to surrender. Courts start proceedings vs Quiboloy over sexual, child abuse: DOJ Since last week, police said that they have not yet located Quiboloy in both Buhangin and Calinan districts, when they served the subpoena to him to attend Senate hearings. Tuazon also said they are also preparing if Quiboloy's supporters will hold a protest rally.

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.

Russia captures town after 2 years of Ukrainian resistance --- Reuters

Russian forces now control 98.5% of Luhansk, 60% of Donetsk MOSCOW: Russian troops on Wednesday took charge of the eastern Ukrainian town of Vuhledar, a bastion that had resisted intense attacks since Russia launched its full-scale assault in 2022. The advance of Moscow's forces, which control just under a fifth of Ukraine, has underlined Russia's vast superiority in men and materiel as Ukraine pleads for more weapons from the Western allies that have been supporting it. Ukraine's eastern military command said it had ordered a pullback from the hilltop coal mining town to avoid encirclement by Russian troops and "preserve personnel and military equipment". The Russian defense ministry did not mention Vuhledar in its daily battlefield report. Russian Telegram channels, however, published video of troops waving the Russian tricolor flag over shattered buildings. The town, which had a population of over 14,000 before the war, has been devastated, with Soviet-era

HANOI, Vietnam — Vietnam's foreign ministry condemned on Wednesday China's "brutal behavior" during a violent attack on Vietnamese fishers in the disputed South China Sea. The 10 fishermen were reportedly beaten with iron bars and robbed of thousands of dollars' worth of fish and equipment on Sunday off the Paracel Islands -- an archipelago in the resource-rich waterway claimed by China, Vietnam, the Philippines, Taiwan, Malaysia and Brunei. Vietnam "resolutely protests the brutal behavior of Chinese law enforcement forces against Vietnamese fishermen and fishing vessels operating in the Hoang Sa archipelago of Vietnam", foreign ministry spokesperson Vietnam Pham Thu Hang said in a statement, using the Vietnamese term for the Paracel Islands. "The above actions of Chinese law enforcement forces seriously violated Vietnam's sovereignty" over the archipelago, the statement said. Four of the Vietnamese crew were taken to hospital on Monday
