Patas na imbestigasyon sa reklamong pang-aabuso vs Primavera, hiniling sa DFA at Malacañang



Hiniling sa pamahalaan ng isang retiradong Arsobispo ng Simbahang Katolika na magsagawa ng patas na imbestigasyon kaugnay sa reklamong pang-aabuso na isinampa ng isang kasambahay laban kay Philippine Ambassador to Kuwait Shulan Primavera.

Ang panawagan ay ginawa ni Lingayen-Dagupan Archbishop Emertitus Oscar Cruz, kasabay ng kanyang pagpuna sa mabagal na pag-usad ng imbestigasyong ng Department of Foreign Affairs laban kay Primavera.

Ayon sa isang Pinay overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) na nagsilbing kasambahay ni Primavera, hinawakan siya sa maselang bahagi ng katawan at hinalikan umano ng embahador sa magkakahiwalay na insidente.

Sa mga naunang panayam, mariing pinabulaanan ni Primavera ang mga alegasyon laban sa kanya. Inaasahang darating sa bansa ang embahador sa Miyerkules matapos ipatawag ng DFA.

Gayunpaman, hindi pa pormal na nasisimulan ng DFA ang imbestigasyon kay Primavera dahil hinihintay pa ang pahintulot ni Pangulong Benigno “Noynoy" Aquino III, dahil isang political appointee ang embahador.

Ngunit para kay Cruz, hindi na dapat hintayin ang pahintulot ni Aquino sa naturang usapin at dapat na isagawa kaagad ang imbestigasyon kay Primavera upang lumabas ang katotohanan.

"Bakit kailangan pang hintayin ang go signal ni PNoy? Bakit yun bang mga diplomat they are immune from criminal investigation?," tanong ni Cruz nang makapanayam sa Radyo Veritas nitong Martes.

“Kaya nga dapat imbestigahan para malaman ang katotohanan. At ang pakiusap lamang, walang kublihan, walang palakasan," dagdag niya.

Kasabay nito, hinamon ni Fr. Edu Gariguez, executive secretary ng CBCP-NASSA, si Primavera na harapin ang reklamong isinampa sa kanya kung wala itong itinatago.

Naniniwala rin si Gariguez na hindi pagtatakpan ni Aquino ang mga itinalagang opisyal na nasasangkot sa kontrobersiya. - MP/FRJ, GMA News

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 ...

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...
