hired does not, by itself, erase the seriousness of the words spoken.

[The Context Lens @ContextLensView]

The argument that “there is no proof an assassin was hired” does not automatically answer the issue of whether the statement itself was threatening. A threat can exist even without evidence that an actual act was carried out.

If a person voluntarily makes a statement

[The Philippine Star @PhilippineStar]

‘THERE IS NO PROOF OF ANY CONTRACTING OF AN ASSASSIN’
Binigyang-diin ng defense team ni Vice President Sara Duterte na walang matibay na ebidensya ang prosecution na magpapatunay na nangontrata ng assassin si Duterte para patayin si Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
“The prosecution has no other competent evidence to prove that VP Sara contracted an assassin,” saad ni defense counsel Mark Vinluan sa pagtatapos ng kanilang cross-examination kay NBI senior agent John Mark Calilung sa ikatlong araw ng paglilitis kay Duterte nitong Miyerkules.

Mariing itinanggi rin ni Vinluan na inciting to sedition ang naging pahayag ni Duterte sa isang online media briefing noong November 23, 2024. Aniya, ang mga banta sa buhay ni Duterte at ng kanyang pamilya ang nagtulak sa bise presidente upang sabihin iyon.

“VP Sara became the target of unauthorized intelligence and surveillance operations by government operatives that expose her family to high-level risks and security threats, thereby causing intense trauma and uncontrollable fear,” dagdag niya.

Samantala, kinumpirma ng House prosecution na may ihaharap silang testigo na magbibigay-linaw sa usapin ng umano'y "hitman" na iniuugnay kay Duterte.

provide context and may be part of a legal defense, but they do not automatically remove the potential threatening nature of the statement. The court must ultimately determine whether the statement meets the legal standard, but the absence of proof that an assassin was actually

@News5PH The so-called “bogus hearing” involving the 18 Marine-tes, as well as those linked to the alleged flood control issue, suggests that you may also be implicated if you refuse both the Cayetano bloc and Sara’s bloc. Is that also bending the law?

[The Context Lens @ContextLensView]

would these activities have ever been investigated? Most likely not. They probably would have continued next year and the years after. It is only because of this tragedy that these issues are finally being addressed and that the government is now involved.

Ateneo should be held accountable. If it required or hired a foreign worker, then it has a responsibility for what happened. The same goes for any activities organized or conducted by its coaches.

If Ateneo approved these activities, then it must answer for them.

[Inquirer @inquirerdotnet]

Resigned Ateneo de Manila University men’s basketball head coach Thomas Anthony “Tab” Baldwin on Monday admitted not having an alien employment permit (AEP) while working as a coach for several employers since 2013, including Ateneo.

If it didn’t approve them and wasn’t even informed, then that’s an even bigger failure in oversight. How can activities involving your athletes happen without your knowledge or authorization?

@ABSCBNNews If they don’t want to come, that’s their choice, but would they still be part of the team? Given what happened to the two Ateneo students who drowned in Aurora, safety should come first. Safer alternatives include controlled environments with artificial waves to better manage.

introducing a completely no-expiry system can be expensive because inactive balances must be tracked and managed forever @LiveSmart @enjoyGLOBE @Ditto_Network

[The Context Lens @ContextLensView]

It is really hard to implement a no-expiry policy for prepaid load. Telecom providers would need to maintain account records and unused balances indefinitely, which increases operational, accounting, and system management costs. While expiry periods can be extended,.

[ABS-CBN News @ABSCBNNews]

UPDATE: Mamamayang Liberal party-list Rep. Leila de Lima has filed a House version of the Senate Bill No. 1095, or the “Prepaid Load Forever Act," which seeks to remove prepaid load expiry.

"Lugi at unfair sa mga consumers kung napipilitan silang ubusin ang biniling load para lang hindi masayang dahil mag-e-expire na," she said.
