Protesters ransacked Hong Kong’s Legislative Council Building
Wala umanong dapat ikabahala ang mga kamag-anak at kababayan ng mga overseas Filipino workers (OFW) na nagtatrabaho sa Hong Kong sa kabila ng gulo sa malaking kilos protesta doon.
Iniulat ng Bombo international correspondent Mar de Guzman mula sa Hong Kong, marunong umano ang mga OFW na maging “playing safe.”
“Although affected din yong mga OFW dito… so far so good, wala pa namang report na may nasaktan na mga kababayan,” dagdag pang ulat ni De Guzman, na tubong Pangasinan.
Una rito nauwi sa gulo, batuhan at paluan ang insidente sa Legislative Council Building ng Hong Kong nang sirain at wasakin ang ilang bahagi ng pintuan, maging ang ilang mga kagamitan ng gamit na mga galit na protesters na karamihan ay mga teenagers.
Ayon kay De Guzman, nagsagawa rin ng vandalism ang mga protesters sa main chamber ng government building.

Napilitan tuloy ang mga anti-riot police na gumamit na ng tear gas upang buwagin ang mga nagpoprotesta.
Sa kabila ng naturang tanawin ang malaking bulto naman ng mga demonstrador na ang pagtaya ng iba ay mahigit sa daan libong mga raliyesta hanggang sa mahigit na isang milyon ay naging payapa naman.
Sentro pa rin nang pagkondina ng mga protesters ang kontrobersyal na extradition bill na naunang binawi. Liban dito meron pa silang apat na pangunahing isyu na isinusulong.
Itinaon ang malakihang pagkilos sa ika-22 taong anibersaryo ng handover ng Britanya sa Hong Kong tungo sa China.
Kaya naman kahapon ay holiday at walang pasok.
Maaga pa kasi ay inabisuhan daw ang mga Pinoy workers ng kanilang mga amo sa isasagawang malakihan na namang pagkilos.
Una nang nagpaalala ang DFA sa nasa 234,000 na mga OFW na karamihan ay mga domestic helpers sa Hong Kong na mag-ingat at iwasan ang mga lugar na sentro ng mga protesta.

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...
