THE PHILIPPINE SENATE in 28 days under Alan Peter Cayetano:

Estimated Cost - P700M. Output - chaos, gunfire, Bato’s escape despite ICC-issued warrant while under its “protective custody”, session boycott, failed destabilization attempt, unauthorized committee hearings highlighted by one not presided nor attended by a single senator.

WHAT A WASTE OF TAXPAYERS’ MONEY!

FIRST TIME IN RUSSIA 🇷🇺

WATCH: President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. arrives in Kazan, Russia, to participate in the Asean-Russia Commemorative Summit on June 17-18, 2026.

Marcos will also hold a bilateral meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin to boost cooperation in energy security and food security, among other areas. It will also be the first time that the two leaders will meet in person.

Marcos' visit is his first time on Russian soil — 50 years after his father, then-President Marcos Sr. made his own historic visit to the then-Soviet Union in 1976, which culminated in the establishment of diplomatic relations between Manila and Moscow. | 🎥: RTVM via @dexcabalzaINQ /PDI

Department of War Restores U.S. Pacific Command Designation.

CAMP H.M. SMITH, Hawaii — The Department of War announced today that the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM) will officially restore its name to the U.S. Pacific Command (USPACOM).

Originally established on January 1, 1947, by President Harry S. Truman, the command operated under the USPACOM banner for over 70 years, standing as the oldest and largest of the United States' unified combatant commands.

Restoring the legacy USPACOM designation honors the command’s deep historical roots, fostering a sense of pride and collective spirit among all who serve in the Pacific. From its critical role in establishing the post-WWII regional security architecture to its coordination of joint forces during the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and countless humanitarian operations, the USPACOM namesake carries decades of military heritage and enduring regional partnerships.

USPACOM’s vast area of responsibility—spanning from the waters off the West Coast of the United States to the western border of India—remains exactly the same. The command's fundamental mission and its unwavering commitment to maintaining a free and open theater alongside regional allies and partners are unchanged.

BATERBONIA'S MOM TO ATENEO PLAYERS: 'MAYAMAN KAMI SA RESPETO'

Rovelyn Baterbonia, the mother of the late Ateneo Blue Eagles player Rene Clert Baterbonia, broke down in tears as she addressed her son's teammates during their visit to his wake.

She recalled how Rene once promised to bring home a UAAP MVP award—and, one day, even a PBA MVP trophy.

"Pag ako makarating sa UAAP, bibigyan talaga kita ng UAAP MVP o kung mapagbigyan na siya, PBA MVP. Kasi 'yan ang pangarap natin," Rovelyn said, recalling her son's words.

Rovelyn also reminded the players about the value of respect, a principle she said their family has always upheld.

"Mahirap kami pero malaki ang respeto. Mayaman man o mahirap, may yaman kami sa respeto. Kaya sana maintindihan niyo 'yung respeto na sinasabi ko," she said.
