Jessa Chun's Battle: A Mother's Quest for Justice and Reunion --- KAKAMMPI

Bacoor, Cavite - Jessa Chun, a 37-year-old resident of Bacoor, Cavite, is entangled in a heart-wrenching saga involving her Korean partner and their child. The story of her emotional and legal struggles reveals a complex web of challenges, betrayal, and a mother's unwavering love for her child. A Love Turned Sour Jessa Chun's relationship with her Korean partner initially blossomed with promise. However, as they settled into their life together in Korea, cracks began to appear. What started as a hopeful union quickly deteriorated, leaving Chun in a precarious position. The cultural differences, coupled with her partner's increasingly abusive behavior, made the relationship untenable. Despite her efforts to make it work, the situation worsened, leading Chun to the painful decision to separate from her partner. The separation was not only emotionally taxing but also logistically complicated. Due to her partner's nationality and the laws in Korea, Chun faced significant barriers in bringing her child back to the Philippines with her. The legal constraints left her powerless, and she had to leave her child behind, a decision that would haunt her. A Child in Peril Back in the Philippines, Chun tried to rebuild her life. However, her concerns for her child grew when she learned about the adverse conditions her child was facing in Korea. Reports reached her that her child had developed depression, a distressing revelation that filled her with guilt and anxiety. More alarmingly, she discovered that her ex-husband had been physically abusing their child, compounding the trauma. Desperate to protect her child, Chun decided to return to the Philippines. She relocated to her property in Masbate, hoping to create a safe and nurturing environment where her child could recover. Her ex-husband, however, followed them to the Philippines. Initially, they attempted to cohabitate peacefully for the sake of their child, but the situation quickly soured. The presence of the abusive father only exacerbated the child's trauma, making it clear that the arrangement was untenable. Legal and Personal Turmoil Acting on the advice of a doctor, it was decided that the child should be separated from his father to facilitate recovery. Chun's ex-husband agreed, but only briefly. Just three days later, he arrived at Chun's new residence with barangay officials, accusing her of various offenses and filing multiple complaints against her. This relentless legal harassment added to Chun's growing stress and frustration. In a bid to protect her child, Chun decided to hide her child from his father. This decision, while made out of desperation and love, further complicated her situation. Despite her financial stability and business acumen—evidenced by her successful ventures, including a promising mining partnership with another Korean businessman—her ex-husband continued to meddle in her life. He manipulated her relatives, offering them money and spreading false stories, turning some of them against her. The mining business, which had the potential to secure a stable future for Chun and her child, became another battleground. Her ex-husband and his associates allegedly disrupted the operations, employing various tactics to sabotage the business. From hiring people to intimidate and threaten workers to vandalizing equipment, the attacks were relentless. Even local officials, including a mayor's child, were implicated in the destruction of Chun's property. Her assets in Masbate, which were supposed to be a haven, became a site of conflict and loss. Fighting Back Determined to stand her ground, Chun took legal action against those responsible. She filed cases of carnapping and robbery, leading to the arrest of several individuals. However, as the barangay elections approached, those involved pleaded with her for leniency, promising to cease their disruptive activities. Out of compassion, Chun agreed to temporarily halt her legal actions, hoping for a peaceful resolution. Unfortunately, the situation escalated further. Her ex-husband falsely claimed to have been ambushed, a lie that was debunked by an investigation by the Aroroy police, which found no evidence of such an incident. Despite this, Chun found herself facing six counts of frustrated murder, charges that bewildered her and added to her legal woes. The false accusations, combined with the smear campaign against her, portrayed her as a villain in the eyes of the local community. A Mother's Desperation As the pressures mounted, Chun was forced to leave Masbate and return to Manila, seeking refuge from the chaos. However, the most devastating blow came when her ex-husband took their child back to Korea without her consent. Since then, Chun has been unable to contact her child, despite her numerous attempts to reach out through teachers and other channels. This lack of communication has been a source of profound pain for Chun, who fears for her child's safety and well-being. The situation worsened when Chun's ex-husband launched a public smear campaign against her. He accused her of being a scammer, even going so far as to have her photo published in newspapers and on online scammer watchlists. These baseless allegations further damaged her reputation and compounded her struggles. Seeking Resolution and Reunion Despite the relentless challenges, Chun remains determined to protect her child and restore her reputation. She continues to fight for justice, hoping to clear her name and reunite with her child. The love and concern she feels for her child are palpable, driving her to seek every possible avenue for resolution. Chun's story is a poignant reminder of the lengths a mother will go to for her child's safety and well-being. Her resilience in the face of adversity, her unwavering love for her child, and her determination to seek justice are commendable. As she navigates the legal and emotional complexities of her situation, Chun's hope remains steadfast: to be reunited with her child and to rebuild their lives, free from fear and manipulation. In the face of adversity, Jessa Chun's story is a testament to the strength and courage of a mother fighting for her child. Her journey is far from over, but her resolve is unbreakable. She continues to hold onto the hope that one day, she will be able to embrace her child once more and start anew, free from the shadows of her past.

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...
