Putin wants to ban gas to Europe but wants to sell it to China, India, and the Philippines, said by a resource person at the German news outlet DW.

Trump just lifted out the ban for India to buy gas and crude from Russia, after Iran put deadly mines at the Strait for Hormuz to discourage oil tankers ingressing and egressing at the Gulf States like Saudi Arabia.

I saw recently the video of Israeli Ambassador to the Philippines Dana Kursh conversing with Pangasinan Governor Ramon V. Guico III in a phone call while Basista Mayor J.R Resuello, other top local public officials, and the family of Mary Ann Velasquez de Vera, 32, (who perished in an Iranian ballistic missile attacked in Tel Aviv, Israel on February 28, 2026) listen.

The Envoy pledged to help the family. “I’m sending extra hand for you if that’s okay?”.

Pinabulaanan ng gobernador ng Bulacan na bukol ang meron sa noo niya kung hindi ito ay lymphoma matapos na maiulat siya ng isang blogger na malapit sa Malacanang na binugbog siya ng Kalihim ng Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) matapos i-harass ng mga tao niya ang presidential son.

BUKOL? Bulacan Governor Daniel Fernando rubs smoothly the lymphoma and not a “bukol (lump)” at his forehead he told his constituents during a flag ceremony held at the provincial Capitol in the central Luzon province. Photo is DOLA A.I generated.

“Ito po kasi lymphoma. Paano ba operahan ito?” tanong ni Fernando sa kanyang mga constituents habang hinahaplos ang bukol sa kanyang noo noong flag ceremony noong Lunes sa Kapitolyo.

CALASIAO, Pangasinan – Buong pagmamalaki na ipinakita ng batang alkalde dito kung gaano na kaayos at kalinis ngayon ang Parongking River at ang material recovery facilities (MRF) sa maunlad na bayan na ito.

“Tingnan ninyo iyong dating maduming Parongking River na malinis na ngayon at iyong maayos at malinis na MRF at paligid niya,” ani Mayor Patrick A. Caramat habang pinapakita ang mga litrato na ang iba ay kuha ng drone sa writer na ito noong bumisita kamakailan ang huli sa kanyang opisina.

Sa nasabing mga larawan wala na ang mga makakapal na mga water lily at iba pa na makikita noong bumisita sa nasabing lugar si Pangasinan Governor Ramon V. Guico III at Mayor Caramat noong Pebrero 13 para umpisahan na ang malakihang paglilinis at pagdadraga ng mga makakapal na putik  at mga debris ng mga gamit sa Parongking River.

Pinasalamatan ng alkalde ang masipag na Municipal Environment and Natural Resources Office Chief Mark Paulo Caspillan at mga tauhan niya sa kanilang mandato na linisan at ayusin ang mga nasabing mga lugar.

By Mortz C. Ortigoza

LOOK at the multiple billions of pesos United States Air Force F-16 Block 50/52 Wild Weasel (red circle) that I am pointing with my right finger at the tarmac in Basa Air Base in Pampanga when the Gringos brought 12 of 'em from Japan for the Cope Thunder Exercise with the FA-50 jets of the Philippines Air Force.

Below are the role of the Wild Weasels in destroying the surface- to- air- missile (SAM) batteries of Iran when the U.S and Israel pounced vigorously yesterday the Gulf State reigned by a despotic Ayatollah:
