Piolo opens up about real score with Shaina

Mag iina, nasagasaan ng bus habang tumatawid sa pedestrian lane

Huli sa CCTV ang pagsagasa ng isang bus sa mga tumatawid sa pedestrian lane sa harap ng isang eskwelahan sa Brgy. Prado Saba, Lubao, Pampanga.

Nasa ospital ngayon si Alma Lalic at ang kanyang mga anak na sina Ann Lorraine, 6 taong gulang; at Lorenz Albert na 3 taong gulang.

Nakaladkad ng bus ang mga biktima habang papatawid ang mga ito papasok sana sa Prado Saba Elementary School noong Huwebes.

Sa kuha ng CCTV, Huwebes ng umaga, makikitang sabay-sabay na tumatawid ang ilang tao na inaalalayan pa ng mga barangay tanod.

Pero ilang hakbang lang bago makarating sa sidewalk, makikitang may isang pampasaherong bus na umarangkada sa kaliwang linya ng highway.

At dito na nga nasagasaan ang mag-iina.

Kasalukuyang nakakulong sa Lubao Municipal Police Station ang driver ng bus na si Manuel Yambot. Kwento niya, iniwasan niya ang mga sasakyang nasa harapan niya na bigla umanong huminto.

Kwento naman ng ilang nakakita, mabilis umano ang takbo ng driver.

Nakasuhan na ng reckless imprudence resulting to multiple physical injuries ang driver ng bus habang patuloy pang nagpapagaling ang mag-iina sa isang ospital sa bayan.

'Provoked' Erich vows to tell all about split with Matsunaga

MANILA -- (UPDATED) Daniel Matsunaga’s sister Vanessa asked Erich Gonzales to set the records straight regarding speculations that money was one of the reasons behind the celebrity couple's breakup.
Commenting on one of Gonzales’ Instagram posts which entertainment site PEP was able to grab, Vanessa said her brother asked them “to keep quiet and not fight back or even reply to any comments, but the truth is I can't keep quiet when people are invading my privacy asking us if we owe you money and saying that you were spending on us.”
Saying she cannot believe that this is actually happening, Vanessa said: “I know you answered the interview with the best of your ability, I understand it's hard to answer too many questions but I honestly wish you had addressed the money issue.”
Vanessa acknowledged that her brother and Gonzales do not owe anyone any explanation, but she urged the actress to “please look back at the good times.”
“Remember, you were with us for two years, you were included in every family plan, trips, weddings. We took care of you and your family and took in consideration your preferences and watched over you. I’m not here to measure what we did for each other because this is love and it comes with it naturally. All I'm saying is I'm very sad to see people defaming not only you and my brother but also my mom and family,” she said.

How long will the new wave of populist leadership last

President Rodrigo Duterte and other world leaders who wield support from the sentiments of the seemingly forgotten middle class are expected to gain more power over the next decade as the wave of populism will not break anytime soon, American historian Alfred McCoy said.
The still unsolved disparity between the elite and the common people creates an opening for demagogues to thrive, especially in an age where pleas for equality are easily aired through social media, he said in his keynote speech at an international conference of The Third World Studies Center on the occasion of its 40th year, held at the U.P. Asian Center on Thursday. 
"The wave is still rising, is still cresting... It hasn't played out. President Duterte is part of that cresting wave and he will continue to amass power as global trends continue to reenforce him," said McCoy, a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Duterte and new U.S. President Donald Trump are considered by many political analysts as among the world's new populist leaders. 
But McCoy issued a warning about populist leaders' promise of changing the quality of life of the masses.
"The one thing about these demagogues is they promise that they will deliver change. And when that change doesn't come, then they're gonna make up another story."
During the 2016 election campaign, Duterte vowed to end the drug menace and reduce crime in his first 6 months in office. He later on said he had to move the deadline, adding he did not realize the extent of the drug problem.
THE DUTERTE APPEAL
But even though Duterte's bloody drug war has been criticized by former U.S. President Barack Obama, the United Nations, and international NGOs, he continues to enjoy high public trust and approval ratings.
McCoy attributed this to how the political message and acts are packaged and presented to the public.
"Like any political acts, it depends on how the people read the violence. If it represents a promise for order and a better life, if it is a testament of the leader's power and strength, the capacity to deliver, to cut through all the barriers that for so long have stopped people from attaining a better life, then it will be well-received. It will work," he said.

Duterte repeating Colombia's mistakes in drug war

Duterte repeating Colombia's mistakes in drug war."Throwing more soldiers and police at the drug users is not just a waste of money but also can actually make the problem worse. Locking up nonviolent offenders and drug users almost always backfires, instead strengthening organized crime," former president Cesar Gaviria wrote in a New York Times opinion column.

Gaviria said he learned this "the hard way" because Colombia, one of the world’s primary suppliers of cocaine, waged war on drugs at an "enormous cost" by pouring billions of dollars to abolish drug cartels, destroying drug crops and jailing every drug pusher in sight.
All these measures, he said, only resulted to "new problems," including the slaughter of tens of thousands of people; the assassination of their brightest officials, journalists and law enforcers; the corruption of politicians tempted with drug payoffs; and the spread of Colombian drugs to neighboring countries.
In his column, Gaviria recommended instead that the Philippines strengthen public health programs, safeguard human rights and focus on economic development -- no matter how popular the drug war may be.
"Taking a hard line against criminals is always popular for politicians. I was also seduced into taking a tough stance on drugs during my time as president. The polls suggest that Mr. Duterte’s war on drugs is equally popular," he said.
"But he will find that it is unwinnable. I also discovered that the human costs were enormous. We could not win the war on drugs through killing petty criminals and addicts. We started making positive impacts only when we changed tack, designating drugs as a social problem and not a military one."
