Alex Eala had kind words for Maya Joint after beating her at Wimbledon
Alex: โI really had to dig deep. Especially after the first set. Maya came out on fire. She came out ready. I was expecting a really good match. Weโve competed in some very good conditions before so I was prepared for a good match. Sheโs coming off an amazing win. I watched it and I think she played really well and handled herself really well in that situation. Congratulations to Maya.โ โค๏ธ
โWas it nice to get a little bit of revenge for that final in Eastbourne last year?โ
Alex: โYeah, so for those who donโt know we had an insane match last year and I lost. It hit me quite hard. I cried a lot. I donโt think I was able to watch those highlights for a couple of months. So Iโm really happy. I think I improved a lot in this past year. Iโm happy Iโm able to look back at that loss. And Iโm able to smile.โ โค๏ธ

Nagulat umano ang political analyst na si Atty. Barry Gutierrez sa naging pahayag ni Sen. Bam Aquino na โideallyโ o mainam kung lilitisin sa mga korte sa bansa ang mga kasong may kaugnayan sa extrajudicial killings.
Ayon kay Gutierrez sa programang โStoryconโ ng One News, tila โdetachedโ ito sa naging karanasan ng mga taong sumubok na maghain ng kaso kaugnay ng madugong war on drugs ng administrasyon ni dating pangulong Rodrigo Duterte.
โMedyo nakakagulat langโฆ when there is ample experience, ample proof, to show na hindi ganoon โyung pinagdaanan noong maraming mga biktima rito. Hence, why they were eventually forced to go to the ICC to achieve justice for their loved ones.โ
We cannot consider #AI to be morally neutral. In reality, every technical tool embodies choices and priorities through what it measures, ignores, and optimizes, and how it classifies people and situations. Ethical discernment cannot be limited to asking whether we are using a system for good or bad purposes. It must also examine how that system is designed and what vision of the human person and society is embedded in the data and models that guide it. #MagnificaHumanitas

Akbayan Party today slammed Senator Robin Padillaโs push to lower the age of criminal responsibility from 15 to 10 in the wake of the Tacloban school shooting, accusing him of exploiting a tragedy to advance a misguided proposal.
โGusto ni Robin ikulong ang mga 10-year-old, pero ang 64-year-old na si Bato dela Rosa na akusadong mass murderer ay pinatakas niya. Preso para sa mga bata, pero takas para kay Bato? Anong klaseng pag-iisip yan?โ David said.
David said that jailing children who are too young and who cannot fully grasp right from wrong is not rehabilitation. โEh si Robin nga, nasa hustong gulang at pag-iisip noong nakulong, nagbago ba? Hindi baโt nilabag na naman niya ang batas sa pagtulong kay Bato na tumakas? How much more children, whose minds are still developing?โ
Akbayan stressed that Padillaโs proposal rests on a false premise. โNabasa na ba ni Robin ang batas? The Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act holds minors who commit crimes, especially heinous ones, accountable. In fact, minors aged 15 and above may be held criminally liable if proven to have acted with discernment, while those below 15 can be deprived of liberty as they undergo intensive intervention and rehabilitation programs,โ David said.
Akbayan said it stands with victims and their families, but warned against exploiting public grief to justify draconian policies that could make schools and communities more unsafe. โWe are one with the call for justice and accountability. At the same time, we push for the full funding and implementation of the Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act so effective intervention, mental health support, quality education, and social services are in place. Children must also be kept away from dangerous weapons such as firearms, and parents must be held equally accountable for ensuring proper care and supervision, to prevent violence before it happens.โ David said.

LENI SPEAKS AT LEGAZPI GRAD
Former vice president and now Naga City Mayor Leni Robredo shared on Facebook on Tuesday, June 16, that she served as commencement speaker at the Bicol University Main Campus graduation in Legazpi City.
Robredo said she had to decline several graduation invitations outside Naga this year, noting she prefers to limit travel and focus on her duties in the city.
She added that Bicol University remains closely linked to her family and public service journey, citing her late husband, former Naga City mayor Jesse Robredo, who once taught at the institution on weekends. She also recalled the universityโs partnership with Angat Buhay during the BAHAYANIHAN project in Guinobatan, which helped build 100 homes for families displaced by lahar.
