RP envoy at UAE leaves for UN post

MANILA, Philippines — Before leaving for his new post at the United Nations, Philippine ambassador to the United Arab Emirates Libran Cabactulan received a warm farewell from the Filipino community.

Online news site Khaleej Times reported that the Filipino community gave him a farewell party at the St. Joseph Church.

Cabactulan is to depart from the UAE this week to take up his new assignment as president of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Preparatory Committee.

At the party, he said his new assignment would take him to member countries of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM).

President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo is due to attend the NAM's summit in Egypt.

In July 2008, the Philippine government endorsed Cabactulan as president of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Preparatory Committee. Cabactulan had ended his six-year term as envoy to UAE.

Last April, the 118 member-countries of NAM endorsed his candidature. Last May, the 198 countries involved in the treaty elected him president during their third preparatory conference in New York.

He and wife Remedios Fe asked Filipino leaders and the priests present to pray for him to be able to do the huge task ahead of him to spread global peace.

“I have to go to different countries to consult heads of state on what they want for the review of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty next year. This treaty was negotiated in 1966, but it came into operation in 1995 and the decision to review it every five years. It was reviewed in 2000, then in 2005," he said.

He said the visit of United States President Barack Obama to Moscow to meet Russian President Dmitri Medvedev for striking a deal on arms replacement and arms reduction is part of the ongoing preparation for next year’s review of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

Also, he urged all Filipinos to do their best to get the Filipino Expatriates (FilEx) Inc. going, calling it as “his legitimate son that should bear fruit for everyone." FilEx Inc. is a foundation he helped set up to assist Filipinos needing financial, medical and legal support in UAE.

During the farewell party, a dance and messages of gratitude from over 60 Philippine organizations were dedicated to Cabactulan. - GMANews.TV

PCG: China’s bullying in West Philippine Sea undermines international law --- Ghio Ong - The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines — Letting China sustain its aggression in the West Philippine Sea would make other countries doubt the strength of international law currently being asserted by the Philippines, Commodore Jay Tarriela of the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) said. “Allowing China to blatantly disregard the established rules-based order threatens the very foundation that we all depend on,” he wrote in a post on X last Tuesday. He added, “If we permit this, countries worldwide may forget why this order was created in the first place. Nations could begin to doubt the significance of adhering to international law if powerful bullies can easily violate it.” Tarriela also said defiance of other countries to a rules-based order would result in the prevalence of cruelty. He wrote, “This could lead us back to a time when might makes right, undermining the global structures that keep human greed, savagery and barbarism in check. Such a scenario would not only invite challenges from aggressive ...

China ships maintain presence in key West Philippine Sea areas --- Michael Punongbayan - The Philippine Star

STAR / Michael Varcas MANILA, Philippines — While Chinese vessels in the West Philippine Sea (WPS) have decreased in number, they have maintained a presence in three key land features where naval and coast guard ships have intensified operations in the past seven days, according to the Philippine Navy. Latest monitoring by the Philippine Navy showed armed ships of the People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) maintaining a menacing presence around the grounded BRP Sierra Madre in Ayungin Shoal, Panatag Shoal and Escoda Shoal. According to the Philippine Navy, there are 17 Chinese military vessels and 28 China Coast Guard (CCG) boats spotted inside the country’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ) between Sept. 23 and 30, or one vessel more than in the previous week Sept.17-23. Five of the warships were seen roaming around the vicinity of Escoda Shoal, along with 10 CCG vessels and 12 maritime militia vessels (MMVs).

Social media seen as cause of rising intermarriages --- Helen Flores - The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines — The Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO) sees social media as the main reason for the rising number of Filipinos marrying or becoming partners of foreign nationals. In 2022, the CFO recorded 6,854 marriages or partnerships with foreign nationals, a 40.1 percent increase from the 4,891 “intermarriages” recorded in 2021. “First of all, what we see in the increase in the marriage rate of Filipinos or Filipinos with foreign partners is because of social media, (that) is number one; matchings; letters, introduction of their friends,” CFO chairperson Romulo Arugay said at the Bagong Pilipinas Ngayon public briefing yesterday. Arugay said the agency has been registering a high number of intermarriages since 2007, but the figures went down during the COVID-19 pandemic. From over 6,500 Filipinos who married foreign nationals, only 600 are men, he said. Most of them are married to Americans, Japanese, Germans, Canadians and Australians, Arugay said. Arugay warned Fi...
