Palace Press Officer Claire Castro responds to allegations that "pro-Sara" groups are planning to attack Malacaรฑang on June 12:
"Sa ngayon wala tayong makukumpirma sa sinasabing plano ng mga destabilizer sa June 12."
"Pero hindi naman bago ang mga ganitong aksyon dahil noon pa nila nais iluklok sa pwesto ang kanilang poon na gahaman sa kapangyarihan kahit wala pa ang 2028."
"Nasa mandato naman po ng mga law enforcement agency at investigating bodies na aksyunan ang mga ganitong klaseng illegal activities. Mag ingat po tayong lahat sa mga kampon ng kadiliman." | @luisacabatoINQ

'THE PHILIPPINES MUST REJOIN THE ICC'
Naghain ng resolusyon sa Kamara si Mamamayang Liberal Rep. Leila de Lima para hikayatin ang gobyerno na muling sumapi sa Rome Statute ng International Criminal Court (ICC).
Sa ilalim ng House Resolution No. 1056, nanawagan ang kongresista kina Pres. Bongbong Marcos at sa Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) na simulan ang proseso para makabalik ang Pilipinas bilang miyembro ng ICC.
Layon ni de Lima na mas mapalakas ang commitment ng bansa sa paglaban sa impunity at atrocity crimes, at maitaguyod ang human dignity at rule of law.

The National Task Force for the West Philippine Sea is aware of reports regarding the alleged presence of a new structure at Bajo de Masinloc.
Relevant government agencies are currently undertaking verification and validation measures to establish the accuracy, nature, and circumstances surrounding these reports, utilizing available monitoring, surveillance, and operational assessment mechanisms.
The Philippine Government takes seriously any development that may affect the countryโs sovereignty, sovereign rights, and jurisdiction in the West Philippine Sea. The NTF-WPS is closely coordinating with concerned agencies to ensure a comprehensive and fact-based assessment of the situation.
While verification efforts are ongoing, we underscore the importance of avoiding speculation and, instead, rely on information released through official government channels only.
The Philippines remains steadfast in protecting its national interests, defending its lawful maritime entitlements, and upholding the rules-based international order consistent with international law, particularly the 1982 UNCLOS and the 2016 Arbitral Award.
Further updates will be provided once the verification process has been completed and the facts have been firmly established.
