Finally, a ground for Sara impeachment?
Was it finally a clear ground that Duterte’s critics in the chamber can cite to have her impeached? READ: Solons react to Sara ‘kill order’ video: VP needs psycho evaluation“These actions … the threats made by the Vice President against President Marcos, first lady Liza Marcos and Speaker Martin Romualdez constitute a clear and present danger to the Republic,” Acidre said in a statement. “That’s a criminal act and the Vice President is not immune from suit,” said Yusingco, a constitutionalist and policy consultant. “So why will you go through a process (of impeachment) that’s very difficult to pursue, very political, very partisan? What is crucial is when it gets to the Senate.”“It’s really difficult to say (whether impeachment can prosper) until we see the articles of impeachment.

The very real threat of a nuclear war
The very real threat of a nuclear warThe escalating war in Ukraine is already sending chills down the spine of many people, most especially those in Europe. In response to the ATACMS firing, President Vladimir Putin approved changes to Russia’s nuclear doctrine that says an attack from a non-nuclear state with the backing or support by a nuclear country would be considered a joint attack – giving Russia the right to use nuclear weapons as a response. North Korean President Kim Jong Un reportedly told troops to “go all out” – not surprising since Russia is reportedly paying each soldier $2,000 a month. Many are now looking to president-elect Donald Trump to end the war in Ukraine, who had said this will be a priority of his administration. Undoubtedly, technologically advanced nuclear weapons have become more lethal and whose impact will be far greater than Hiroshima.

‘No joke’
Earlier on Friday evening, VP Sara wanted to spend the night with Lopez at the House detention facility but was not allowed to. As if all this drama weren’t enough, VP Sara, in a press briefing via Zoom on Friday night, also unleashed an utterly disturbing revelation. No joke,” she said, unbothered. Authorities must take proper action against VP Sara for making such threats. Changi, which is really a stunning, impressive and efficient airport, charges $65.20 at present, and this will eventually increase to $79.20.

North Korean troops massed in Russia to enter Ukraine war 'soon' — Pentagon chief
SYDNEY, Australia — The United States expects that thousands of North Korean troops massing in Russia will "soon" enter combat against Ukraine, Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin said Saturday. About 10,000 North Korean soldiers were believed to be based in the Russian border region of Kursk, Austin said, where they were being "integrated into the Russian formations". "Based upon what they've been trained on, the way they've been integrated into the Russian formations, I fully expect to see them engaged in combat soon," Austin told reporters during a stopover in Pacific nation Fiji. Austin said he had "not seen significant reporting" of North Korean troops being "actively engaged in combat" to date. Kyiv has warned that Moscow, alongside the North Korean soldiers, has now amassed a 50,000-strong force to wrest back parts of the border region seized by Ukrainian forces.

SFA Korea, which previously held 89.98 percent stake in SSP, raised its stake to 99.41 percent of the listed company’s total issued and outstanding common shares. The PSE has implemented a trading suspension on the shares of SSP following the execution of the block sale due to non-compliance with the rule on minimum public ownership requirement.

China advisers call for steady 2025 growth goal
BEIJING — Chinese government advisers are recommending that Beijing should maintain an economic growth target of around 5.0 percent for next year, pushing for stronger fiscal stimulus to mitigate the impact of expected US tariff hikes on the country's exports. Four of the six advisers who spoke with Reuters favor a 2025 target of around 5 percent. A Reuters poll this week predicted China will grow 4.5 percent next year but also tipped that tariffs could impact growth by up to 1 percentage point. Economists outside China do not believe that goal is realistic, but it still influences domestic policy discussion. "To meet the 2035 goals, we need to achieve economic growth of around 5 percent in 2025," said a second government adviser.

'Can you kill crime without spilling blood?'
De Leon postCan you kill crime without spilling blood? I ask these questions as someone born and raised in Davao City, a place that, for better or worse, is synonymous with one man: Rodrigo Duterte. Over the years, I've seen people debate his extrajudicial killings, his war on drugs and the looming shadow of an ICC investigation. I spent a decade as the punching bag for a man whose mind had been hijacked by meth. But once meth got its claws in, the kind man I knew turned into a ticking time bomb.
