READ: Lacson getting tired of interpreting Duterte’s pronouncements.

Sen. Panfilo Lacson on Sunday admitted getting fed up with "interpreting" controversial public pronouncements of President Rodrigo Duterte.

http://getupdatedph.blogspot.com






















Lacson said this when asked about Duterte's latest remark drawing parallels between his administration's war on drugs and the massacre of six million Jews during World War II. As his previous pronouncements, Duterte's remarks were met with criticism not only by Filipinos but also by the international community.

"Nakakapagod na rin magbasa betwen the lines lalo na sa atin, sa labas ng bansa, international community, they take the words as they come out of the mouth of the President," said Lacson in a radio dzBB interview.

"Hindi naman puwede na ibu-burden mo pa sila na mag-interpret o magbasa between the lines," the lawmaker said, adding that it was "very clear" that the President was trying to make a comparison with his now infamous "Hitler remark."

On Sunday, Duterte apologized to the Jewish community for his remark. "I would like to make it here and now that there was never an intention on my part to derogate the memory of the six million Jews murdered by the Germans... I apologize profoundly and deeply to the Jewish [community]," he said during the opening ceremony of the Masskara Festival in Bacolod City.

Lacson admitted feeling pity toward the chief executive's communication team.

"Miski ano pa sabihin to the contrary, mahirap na i-cure na ang talagang tinututumbok din [ay] nagkaroon ng pagkukumpara at siya mismo ang gumawa ng pagkukumpara kahit ano pang explanation na gawin ng spokespersons niya," he said.

"Katunayan nakakaawa na sila kasi hirap na hirap mag- explain pero wlaa tayong magagawa. Nasabi na ng Pangulo iyon. Nag-react na ang buong mundo. Hindi natin masisi ang international community, lalo na ang Germany at Israel," the lawmaker added.

'Like toothpaste'

Lacon said he hoped Duterte would be more cautious with his subsequent public pronouncements, since they could easily be construed as the country's policy statements.

"I just hope ang policy adviser ng Pangulo magkarooon ng masinsinang pag-uusap dito at sana mapakinggan sila na sana dapat maghinay-hinay dahil mahirap na bawiin," he said.

"Para iyang toothpaste na lumabas sa tube. Kapag nasabi mo na, mahirap nang bawiin, na puwede mong i-correct o i-clarify o ibahin ang meaning ng sinabi pero sa mga nakakarinig, malinaw eh," he added.

At the rate issues are being hurled against the Duterte administration, Lacson said he can't help but feel like the President has been in his post for many years already.

"Wala pa ngang 100 days, feeling mo taon na sa dami ng issues na lumalabas," said Lacson.

The lawmaker added: "Miski sinong pangulo binibigyan ng at least six months na honeymoon period... Tatagal lang ang honeymoon period kung halimbawa pinagbibigyan na maka-adjust ang bagong administrasyon doon sa bagong tungkulin na inatas sa kanila."

"Pero kung paulit-ulit, iiksi ang honeymoon period... Kung iyon at iyon rin ang issue, hindi naman nababago at iyon pa rin ang controversy, baka umiksi ang honeymoon period," Lacson said.

READ: Dela Rosa to cops involved in illegal drugs: 'Evaporate!'. (Y)

This was the order of Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Ronald "Bato" Dela Rosa to police officers involved in the illegal drug trade.

http://go.ad2up.com/afu.php?id=774878
























LOCOS NORTE – "Evaporate!"

In his first official visit to the Ilocos Norte police provincial office on Saturday, Dela Rosa warned and threatened police officers involved in illegal drug operations, saying they will not last long in service.

"Kapag meron dito na involved sa iligal na droga, pepersonalin ko kayo. Hindi kayo magtatagal, mamamatay kayo. Mamamatay kayo kapag talagang involved kayo sa droga," Dela Rosa said.

(If there is anyone here who is involved with illegal drugs, I will take you personally. You will not last long, you will die. You will really die if you are involved with drugs.)

Dela Rosa added that police officers who are not with him in the war against illegal drugs should resign and "evaporate."

“If you are with me, tapusin natin itong problema. If you are not with me, then you step out. You evaporate! Umalis kayo sa serbisyo!" he said.

(If you are with me, let us finish the problem. If you are not with me, then step out. You evaporate! Leave your posts!)

Dela Rosa stressed that when the PNP fails to fight and eliminate the illegal drug problem in the country, Filipinos have no one to blame but the police.

"Kung tayo ay natalo, tayo ay nag-fail, sino ba sisihin ng taong bayan? Sisihin ba nila ang PDEA? Hindi. Sisihin ba ng taong bayan ang NBI? Hindi. Sisihin ba nila ang local government units? Hindi. Sino ang sisihin ng taong bayan? Ang PNP," he said.

(If we lose, if we fail, who will the people blame? Will they blame PDEA? No. Will they blame the NBI? No. Will they blame the local government units? No. Who will the people blame? The PNP.)

He explained that the PNP is the one to blame since it is the office mandated by President Rodrigo Duterte to combat illegal drugs.

He reiterated his earlier promise of stepping down from office if the war on drugs fails.

“I am ready to step down, anytime na sabihin ni President na you failed, you lose. You lose the game, you lose the war. Hindi ako kagaya ng ibang opisyal na kapit tuko sa posisyon na maninira pa ng kapwa opisyal para manatili sa pwesto," Dela Rosa said.

(I am ready to step down anytime President Duterte says that I failed and I lost. You lose the game, you lose the war. I am not like other officials who cling so hard to their positions and would even go to the extent of destroying other officials just to stay in power.)

After the program, Dela Rosa and his family, together with Governor Imee Marcos, joined the policemen in a boodle fight.

Who are De Lima's 2016 poll contributors?

None of the contributors to the senator's 2016 campaign have been mentioned in the congressional inquiries on the reported drug trade inside Bilibid


http://go.ad2up.com/afu.php?id=774878

MANILA, Philippines – During a congressional probe into the prevalence of drugs inside the New Bilibid Prison (NBP), a handful of prisoners who were presented as witnesses claimed that Senator Leila de Lima benefitted from the operations.

Aside from saying that the former justice secretary received "payouts" from drug operations inside the NBP, the witnesses alleged that a gang leader supposedly "raised funds" for De Lima's planned bid for the Senate in the 2016 elections.

To check these claims, we looked at De Lima's Statement of Contributions and Expenses (SOCE) submitted to the Commission on Elections after the May 2016 polls.

According to her SOCE, De Lima received P86,831,095.19 in cash and in-kind contributions from a total of 114 individuals. From the amount, she spent P86,153,300.49 during the campaign period.

None of the names in the list have been mentioned in the congressional probe on the reported drug trade inside the national penitentiary.

Her top contributors gave P5 million each:
Santiago D. Ortega Jr, lawyer and president of the University of Saint Anthony in Iriga City, Camarines Sur
Ramon T. Gloria, from Quezon City
Sheralyn P. Palpal-Latoc, from Sto. Domingo, Ilocos Sur

Her ex-husband, lawyer Plaridel Bohol II, gave a total of P1,547,402 to her senatorial campaign. De Lima's brothers, Vicente Jr and Vicente II, also contributed P200,000 and P100,000, respectively.

Other notable contributors who gave at least P1 million are the following:

Felix M. Runes Jr, real estate lessor from Manila – P3 million
Steve Tiberio Serranilla, from Muntinlupa City – P2.5 million
Rodel and Shirly Amesola, from Pili, Camarines Sur – P2 million each
Solomon Hermosura, managing director of Ayala Corp – P2 million
Celsa B. Rivera and Nonato P. Gonzales, who ran for local posts in Padre Garcia, Batangas in 2013 – P1 million each
Wilbert T. Lee, president and CEO of LKY Development Corp. – P1 million
Paul Vincent Chua, Vice President of Dataland Inc – P1 million

A total of P17.75 million – a fifth of the total contributions she received – came from 20 individuals from Camarines Sur, her home province.

Many lawyers and law firm partners also contributed to De Lima's senatorial campaign. Among them are:

3 partners from the De Guzman San Diego Mejia & Hernandez (GSMH) Law Office
2 partners from the Zambrano and Gruba Law Offices
Cynthia Corazon Roxas, a private prosecutor during the impeachment trial of former Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato Corona

Three gave in-kind contributions:
Gregorio Perez of Mandaluyong City, with a donation worth P250,000
lawyer Jonathan Baligod of Tuguegarao City, Cagayan, with P500,000 in in-kind contributions on top of P1 million in cash donations
Aquinas Ranulph Hermida of Marikina City, with P128,693.19 in in-kind contributions on top of a P50,000 cash donation

Here's a full list of contributors to De Lima's senatorial campaign in the 2016 elections:

JUST IN: Peter Lim is not Cebu's Jaguar, Aguirre says.

PETER Lim, the suspected Cebu-based drug lord, is not the Central Visayas' top drug trader "Jaguar," Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre II said Friday.

http://getupdatedph.blogspot.com/

In a press conference in Department of Justice (DOJ), Aguirre said Chinese businessman Lim, the alleged drug lord who faced President Rodrigo Duterte last July, is not the region's top drug lord Jaguar.

"Akala natin 'yung namatay sa Las Piñas is not the Peter Lim or Jaguar of Cebu pero apparently, siya yun," Aguirre said.

According to the Justice Secretary, Jaguar is Jeffrey Diaz, the Cebuano who was killed in an operation conducted by Central Visayas Regional Intelligence Division and the Las Piñas City Police on June 17.

Aguirre said this was confirmed by Jaguar's alleged bagman, Reynaldo Diaz, who is now under the DOJ's Witness Protection Program (WPP).

"Ang nakuha nating witness, 'yung bagman ni Jaguar. He is still with the WPP," Aguirre said.

But according to Aguirre, he cannot disclose yet if Lim has involvement in illegal drug trade.

"Wala pang report, alam ko iniimbestigahan pa rin siya because he is involved in illegal drugs."

When asked why it seemed like the investigation on Lim has no progress while the case build up against Senator de Lima is done in haste, the Secretary said: "Well apparently hindi nakafocus dun ang investigation kasi nga talagang namatay na si Jaguar e. Ang akala nating Peter Lim is Jaguar pero apparently, Jaguar is Jaguar na namatay nung June 17."

On July 21, Lim surrendered before the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) after Duterte ordered him to submit himself to investigation to prove that he was not a member of the drug triad that operates in the country.

The NBI created a fact-finding team led by its anti-illegal drugs task force chief Juan Roel Bolivar to probe and establish the true identity of Lim, as he was alleged to be the Jaguar of Cebu.

Lim, however, denied the accusations against him and assured Duterte that he supports the administration’s war against illegal drugs.

Lim also stressed that he is not the "Jaguar" the government is looking for.

The NBI has no updates yet on the fact-finding probe on Lim's identity and his alleged link to illegal drugs.

Once the NBI established that Lim is involved in illegal drug trade, the agency will file charges against him before the DOJ.

READ: Cyber warfare: Who is China hacking now?

Hong Kong (CNN)It's the nagging glitch in the US-China relationship that was inevitably mentioned during the first US presidential debate this week between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton -- cyber warfare..

http://getupdatedph.blogspot.com
(Or, as Trump put it, "the cyber").
During the debate, Trump questioned whether Russia was indeed behind a series of cyberattacks on the Democratic National Committee -- a conclusion that US officials and his election rival have reached.

"She says, 'Russia, Russia, Russia,'" said Trump. "It could be China."

'Cloak-and-dagger to bits-and-bytes'
In the dark world of cyber-espionage, the finger of blame has often been pointed at China.
Earlier this year, China's cyber spies were accused of hacking into dozens of workstations and servers at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.

Last year, Chinese hacking was blamed for the massive data breach at the US Office of Personnel Management which compromised the data of over 21 million people.

And in May 2014, US federal prosecutors indicted members of the People's Liberation Army(PLA) for cyber-espionage for economic gain.

China has all along denied the allegations of state-sponsored hacking. But analysts say China's cyber operations are an active threat.

"Military intelligence has rapidly moved from cloak-and-dagger to bits-and-bytes over the last fifteen years... and China's no exception to that," says Bryce Boland, Asia-Pacific CTO of FireEye, a cybersecurity firm.

"China has been developing its capabilities within the PLA for a number of years, going back at least a decade. And their capabilities have now also been brought together into a single, strategic organization that is essentially a new branch of the military."

Shift in behavior

China is of course not the only actor in this era of cyber warfare.

But it has taken a significant step forward with the United States to establish some ground rules in a new domain of conflict with no widely-held norms.

During President Xi Jinping's state visit to the US last year, the China and the US formally agreed not to conduct or knowingly support economic cyber-espionage.

"I think China, after that, has tried to comply with that agreement," says Tong Zhao of the Beijing-based Carnegie-Tsinghua Center for Global Policy.

"China increasingly realizes it is in China's interests to promote a rule-based system."

And since the agreement, FireEye has observed a significant change in Chinese cyber activity.

"We've seen a shift in behavior since the Obama-Xi agreement. And that shift in behavior has resulted in a decrease in attacks against US and Western organizations for the purposes of stealing their intellectual property," says Boland.

"We've almost seen a pivot towards Asia. We've seen more targeted attacks now focused on information gathering and intelligence collection from countries on the periphery of China -- anyone with a land boundary or involved in a maritime dispute. And that kind of activity is much more focused on intelligence."

China's cyber-spies target Asia

China's cyber-spies are pivoting away from stealing US trade secrets as they move towards gathering intelligence in a region fraught with geopolitical tension.


Take Taiwan, for instance.

Relations with Taipei and Beijing have been tense since the landslide election of Tsai Ing-Wen, Taiwan's first female president. Her Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has traditionally leaned in favor of formal independence from China.

After the DPP's election win, its website was compromised and replaced with a spoofed site to collect data on visitors.

And then, there's Hong Kong.
Two years after Hong Kong's pro-democracy "Umbrella Movement," the city's first legislative elections since the mass demonstrations provided a platform for a small but vocal independence movement -- much to the chagrin of Beijing.

Before the election, two Hong Kong government agencies were targeted by cyber-attackers using new malware tools.

According to FireEye, both incidents were the work of Chinese state-sponsored hackers.
"We know those that those attacks were originated from China... they were clearly politically motivated attacks," says Boland.

"The only logical consequence is that they are operated by a group of people who had a political activity to conduct, so we believe they were state-sponsored."

Not all attacks officially sanctioned
But not all hack attacks originating from China have the official red seal of approval.

After an international court ruled that China did not have a historic right to a disputed area in the South China Sea, flight information screens at Vietnam's two biggest airports were hacked to show messages criticizing the Philippines and Vietnam and their territorial claims in the region.

Analyst Tong Zhao is convinced that the Vietnam airport hack was not the work of Chinese state agents.

"We used to assume that China is a country having a very centralized political system -- the central government must be in control of everything. I think that assumption is inaccurate," Zhao says.

And he's right. As powerful as it may be, China is not a single monolith. It's a vast system of many different actors -- military or civilian, state-backed or for-hire.
But China's many cyber actors can come together for a common goal -- to advance China's security interests and its standing in the information age.
