A strong earthquake has struck off the coast of Sarangani this morning, and a tsunami warning is now in effect across several coastal provinces in Mindanao.

I have directed all relevant government agencies to act immediately.

The Office of Civil Defense and the NDRRMC are now coordinating disaster response and monitoring across all affected areas. The DSWD has been directed to pre-position relief goods and ensure that evacuation centers are ready and operational. The DPWH is on standby to assess damage to roads, bridges, and critical infrastructure, and to clear routes needed for rescue and relief operations.

I am also ordering the suspension of classes in all levels across affected areas in Mindanao until further notice. The safety of our children comes first. DepEd will coordinate with local government units on this.

To our kababayans in the affected provinces, please heed the tsunami warning. Move to higher ground now. Do not wait. Your life is more important than anything left behind.

The national government is moving and we will not leave Mindanao behind. I am in constant communication with our regional offices and local chief executives on the ground.

Updates will be provided as the situation develops.

@johnarbuckleamv Although the taste of these food are uniquely Filipino, adapted to us, we never denied or "not acknowledged" its origins as Chinese.

@johnarbuckleamv Just to point out that the full name of the "fried spring rolls" is Lumpiang Shanghai. Since there are many versions of Lumpia in the Philippines, the Lumpia Americans are most familiar with is actually mostly shortened to "Shanghai". There is also Pancit Canton.

Justice Caguioa’s concurring opinion on Bato’s case is superbly written.

This case will define the Court. For too long, power has found ways to outrun justice. It has hidden in office, in influence, in violence, and now, in the language of due process. That ends here. The Court cannot become a refuge for impunity. It has always been, and must always remain, where justice refuses to yield.

Even up to 1M. This will put more take home pay to the middle class who has been struggling through this crisis. Too poor to spend but too rich for government subsidy.

An initial assessment of the PLA parade that has just finished in Beijing. Overall, no major surprises although there were was some new equipment. The structure and content of the parade was pretty standard. Five key themes stood out for me however. 1/9 🧵

Let’s call this for what it is. It is plagiarism. @ThePUPOfficial should have a thorough review of every publication this person has ever submitted as a qualification for promotion. An act so brazen means he has done this before.
