ESTRADA: ESCUDERO HAS STRONG SUPPORT TO REMAIN SENATE PRESIDENT

Senate President Pro Tempore Jinggoy Estrada said on Monday that Senate President Francis “Chiz” Escudero has more than enough support to retain his position in the upcoming 20th Congress.

“We have enough numbers, more than 13, I suppose. And I think Senate President Chiz Escudero is already secured of having his next term as Senate President,” Estrada said, adding it could even be called a “supermajority.”

Meanwhile, Senator Juan Miguel Zubiri noted that although Escudero has the signatures needed, the outcome is not yet certain.

“So, we're not saying it's a done deal... But anything can still happen between now [until] July 28,” Zubiri said.

The Senate will formally elect its officers when Congress opens its new session later this month.

ZUBIRI SEEKS TOTAL BAN ON ONLINE GAMBLING

Senator Juan Miguel “Migz” Zubiri is calling for a total ban on online gambling in the Philippines, citing a growing “silent epidemic” of gambling addiction, especially among the youth.

In a media forum on Monday, July 7, 2025, Zubiri announced the filing of Senate Bill No. 142, also known as the Anti-Online Gambling Act, as part of his top ten priority measures for the 19th Congress.

“Not only the elderly are affected by gambling addiction, but also our youth. For as long as gambling is within reach by almost anyone online, this is a social cancer that will continue to fester,” Zubiri said.

The proposed bill seeks to prohibit all forms of online gambling, directing internet providers, mobile networks, and digital platforms to block access to gambling content. It also imposes penalties such as fines and imprisonment for individuals and operators who violate the law.

Zubiri also filed other priority bills including measures on wage increase, disaster resilience, land use, water management, defense, and barangay welfare.

PALACE: DOH HAS FUNDS TO PAY PRIVATE HOSPITALS FOR INDIGENT PATIENTS

Malacañang on Monday assured the public that the Department of Health (DOH) has enough funds to pay private hospitals for services provided to indigent and financially struggling patients.

Palace press officer Claire Castro clarified reports that some hospitals had stopped accepting government guarantee letters. She said the issue only involves 39 private hospitals in Batangas, which are still processing required documents.

“The government is not having any problems when it comes to paying the bills of our fellow citizens who are covered by guarantee letters,” Castro said.

She added that once these hospitals submit the complete documents, the DOH will process the payments as funds are already available.

PH SUMMONS CHINESE ENVOY OVER SANCTIONS ON FORMER SENATOR TOLENTINO

The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) has summoned Chinese Ambassador Huang Xilian to express concern over China’s decision to impose sanctions on former Senator Francis Tolentino, according to Presidential Communications Undersecretary Claire Castro.

Castro said the Philippines acknowledged that China has the legal right to impose such sanctions, but emphasized that punishing a democratically elected official for performing official duties goes against the principles of mutual respect and dialogue between two equal sovereign states.

The DFA conveyed that such actions are not in line with the spirit of diplomatic engagement and could affect bilateral relations.

COMELEC DENIES UY, PROCLAIMS ABANTE AS MANILA 6TH DISTRICT REP

The Commission on Elections (Comelec) officially proclaimed Bienvenido “Benny” Abante Jr. as the duly elected representative of Manila’s 6th District after rejecting rival Luis “Joey” Chua Uy’s appeal on citizenship grounds.

Comelec en banc affirmed the resolution of its Second Division voiding Uy’s proclamation, declaring him not a natural-born Filipino due to inherited citizenship from his father, a naturalized Filipino—making him ineligible to run for Congress under the 1987 Constitution.

Although Uy initially won the May 12 polls with 64,746 votes against Abante’s 63,358, his votes were later invalidated, leaving Abante as the sole qualified candidate.

The poll body issued a Certificate of Finality and Entry of Judgment, directing the Manila Board of Canvassers to reconvene and proclaim Abante as the official congressman for the district.

JOSH MOJICA ISSUES PUBLIC APOLOGY OVER DRIVING VIDEO INCIDENT

Entrepreneur and content creator Josh Mojica has issued a public statement on Sunday, July 7, 2025, following the release of a video showing him using his phone while driving. The incident led to the issuance of a Show Cause Order.

In his statement, Mojica acknowledged the mistake, saying he takes full responsibility for his actions. He emphasized that he was not trying to play the victim and admitted to slipping in a moment of poor judgment.

The video, which featured him recording a quick selfie inside a Porsche, was described by Mojica as a personal milestone rather than an attempt to show off. “That wasn’t just a car. It was a milestone,” he said, referring to it as a symbol of hard work and determination.

Mojica addressed his followers, especially the youth, urging them not to copy his driving behavior, but instead to focus on the mindset and hard work that helped him achieve his success. “Copy the grind, not the way I held the phone,” he said.

He concluded the statement by thanking those who continue to support him and said he would be “sticking to the backseat” for now as he reflects on the incident.

CITY CONDUCTS FOGGING AND DISINFECTION INSIDE CARMEN PUBLIC MARKET

The city government of Cagayan de Oro conducted a fogging and disinfection activity inside the Carmen Public Market on Monday, July 7, 2025. The operation was led by Mayor Rolando "Klarex" Uy and Carmen Barangay Chairman Raineir Joaquin “KapKik” Uy.

This marks the first time the city carried out this kind of activity inside the market itself, through the initiative of the City Health Office (CHO) under City Health Officer Dr. Rachel Delia Dilla, and the City Economic Enterprises and Development Administration (CEEBDA) led by Acting Manager Atty. Marianne Guibone.

Mayor Klarex earlier explained during the flag ceremony that the goal of the activity is to ensure cleanliness in the market, especially for goods such as meat, fish, and other fresh products. He emphasized the importance of protecting the public from rats, cockroaches, flies, and other pests that may contaminate the area.

Dr. Dilla also announced that a similar disinfection will be conducted at the Cogon Market on Wednesday, followed by the Westbound Terminal and Public Market.

CHO and CEEBDA also plan to purchase mouse traps for identified pest hotspots inside the markets.

Aside from markets, the city has also begun fogging operations in public schools to combat dengue, starting at City Central School. Dr. Dilla clarified that the city will work with schools for fuel support, while the city government will provide the machines and manpower.

She added that private schools may also request the same service, using the same arrangement.

NO ACTION FROM NATIONAL ABC WITHIN A WEEK MEANS TABAC STAYS — CABANLAS

Majority Floor Leader and City Councilor Edgar Cabanlas said that ABC (Association of Barangay Captains) President Marlo Tabac will continue to serve as ex-officio city councilor representing the Liga ng mga Barangay if no legal action or official revocation is issued by the National Liga ng mga Barangay within a week.

Cabanlas clarified that unless a restraining order or a revocation of confirmation comes from the national Liga, Tabac remains the officially recognized ABC President and may continue representing the group in the City Council.

He also added that even if Tabac has pending cases, the law upholds the presumption of innocence until proven guilty, and that alone is not a valid reason to stop him from assuming his role.

This statement comes after an agreement during the first session of the 21st City Council, where a one-week deferment was granted regarding Tabac’s assumption of his seat as the ex-officio member representing the ABC in Cagayan de Oro.
