Economic & Housing Perspective

At the SHDA Housing summit 2025, NEDA Regional Director Jennifer Bretaña delivered impactful insights on the current economic landscape and housing sector.

Bretaña urged Filipinos to rethink priorities—viewing housing as a more valuable investment than cars, especially with the push for stronger public transport systems.

She also underscored key economic indicators, citing inflation at 2.8%, and reaffirmed the government’s commitment to cut poverty within three years, noting that Central Visayas has already recorded the sharpest drop in poverty incidence.

THINK BEFORE YOU BASH!

38 Cyber Libel, Cybercrime Complaints Filed Against Davao Content Creator, 3 Others

Content creator Cassandra Vanessa “Cassie” Japos is facing multiple counts of cyber libel, alongside separate charges for violation of the Data Privacy Act and unjust vexation in relation to cybercrime, following a barrage of complaints over her viral “scam” videos on social media. The cases have been lodged before the Mandaue City Prosecutor's Office, Hall of Justice.

Three other individuals, Wilwenrose Agor, Peter Paul Daradal, and Enecleto Adapon Coyme Jr., were also charged after being involved in amplifying the defamatory posts of Japos.

Court filings showed that Meunnie Cullantes initiated the majority of the complaints. Other complainants, who are all members of Elites Empire and distributors of AIM Global Group of Companies (AGG), also stepped forward. Fellow Cebu-based vlogger Jomie Hospital filed a complaint against Japos and another complainant identified as Gregg. Elites Empire founder Pearl Hung added complaints of data privacy violations and unjust vexation related to cybercrime.

Viral videos

The cases stemmed from a series of videos uploaded by Japos accusing Elites Empire of being a scam and alleging that she had been defrauded of ₱30,000.

To support her claims, she shared screenshots of her private exchanges with Cullantes. However, the same screenshots revealed she had insurance coverage, directly contradicting her allegations.

Hung, through her legal counsel, had earlier served a cease-and-desist letter dated September 15 demanding that Japos stop making “false and malicious statements” that, they said, were calculated to damage the reputation of Elites Empire.

“You have personally stated, under the guise of being a ‘concerned citizen,’ misleading posts and comments regarding my client, making it appear that she is engaging in fraudulent activities,” the letter stated.

Elites Empire and AIM Global

The complainants also asserted that Elites Empire is formally affiliated with AIM Global, a recognized international distribution company that markets health, wellness, and entrepreneurship products. Members, they said, receive packages of AIM Global products equivalent to their membership fee or an insurance package of equal value, which they stressed is proof of transparency in the group’s operations.

Beyond product packages, AIM Global representatives emphasized that the company provides equal opportunities to all its distributors. Earnings are based on performance, whether through personal product sales or by building a network, and not on seniority, position, or who joined first. They pointed out that members who dedicate effort and hard work to selling products or expanding their team can expect to earn fairly, reinforcing AIM Global’s reputation as a results-driven company.

Company representatives underscored that success in AIM Global depends on consistent effort and commitment, and not on false promises. For years, the company has built a global reputation by offering entrepreneurship opportunities through direct selling, allowing members to earn from product sales or from expanding their networks.

Defending reputation

Elites Empire said it would not take the allegations lightly, warning that reckless online posts and content creators cannot be allowed to destroy reputations without consequence.

“This is not something we want to do, but we are compelled because their actions affected a lot of people who are dependent on Elites Empire,” the group said.

“We strongly caution the public against spreading baseless accusations,” the statement continued. “This is a clear reminder that those who irresponsibly destroy reputations online will face the heavy force of the law.”

Elites Empire stressed that the cyber libel charges highlight the growing accountability faced by netizens who misuse digital platforms.

Cautionary tale

With 38 counts of cyber libel already filed, along with complaints for violating the Data Privacy Act and unjust vexation in relation to cybercrime, the case has become a cautionary tale about the risks of online defamation.

While freedom of expression is constitutionally protected, legal experts have long emphasized that it does not extend to false, malicious, or defamatory statements. In this case, complainants say, reputations built through years of work and service were unfairly maligned for online clout.

For Japos and her co-respondents, the complaints represent not just a legal battle but also a warning to content creators and their audiences: in the age of social media, posts have consequences.

Look: Mactan-Cebu International Airport Unveils New Routes and Airline Partners, Elevating Cebu as a Premier Gateway

LAPU-LAPU CITY, PHILIPPINES – Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA) proudly announced a wave of new routes and airline partners during its Festival of Flights Media Launch today, further strengthening Cebu’s role as a leading air hub in the Philippines and Asia-Pacific.

Travelers can now look forward to more flights, more destinations, and more seamless connections. With new routes from Philippines AirAsia, Philippine Airlines, and fresh partners Firefly Airlines and Jetstar Airways, Cebu is opening its doors wider to the world.

Highlights of the expansion include:

International Routes

Cebu–Kuala Lumpur via AirAsia: Twice daily (Nov 15, 2025)

Cebu–Macau via AirAsia: Thrice weekly (Nov 15, 2025)

Cebu–Kuala Lumpur via Firefly: Five times weekly (Dec 2, 2025)

Cebu–Brisbane via Jetstar: Thrice weekly (Dec 3, 2025)

Domestic Routes

Cebu–Davao via AirAsia: 18 times weekly (Nov 15, 2025)

Cebu–Caticlan via AirAsia: 11 times weekly (Nov 15, 2025)

Cebu–Iloilo via AirAsia: Four times weekly (Nov 15, 2025)

Cebu–Calbayog via PAL: Four times weekly (Oct 26, 2025)

This expansion builds on MCIA’s steady growth, following the recent opening of direct flights to Ho Chi Minh and Catarman earlier this year. With direct connectivity to Brisbane, Australia, and enhanced links to Kuala Lumpur, Cebu is poised to become the top choice for both local and international travelers.

“The Festival of Flights is a milestone for MCIA. These new routes and partnerships not only give our passengers greater choices but also highlight Cebu’s role as a seamless tourism and business gateway,” said Athanasios Titonis, CEO of Aboitiz InfraCapital Cebu Airport Corporation (ACAC).

The launch also featured the premiere of the CebConnects campaign video, which showcases Cebu as the ideal transfer hub between domestic and international destinations.

“Cebu’s strategic location is one of its greatest strengths. With these new routes, MCIA solidifies its role as a vital hub for the Visayas, Mindanao, and the ASEAN region,” said Julius G. Neri, Jr., MCIAA General Manager and CEO.

As the holiday season nears, passengers can expect more convenient, exciting, and efficient travel experiences through MCIA, further driving tourism and economic growth for Cebu and the Southern Philippines.

Look: STATEMENT
September 24, 2025

I have received disturbing information from Malacañang that a report about Former President Rodrigo Roa Duterte was submitted to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. by the Philippine Embassy in The Hague. The officials entered the detention unit under the false pretense of conducting a "welfare check" and interviewed FPRRD. The said officials clearly abused the rule of the detention unit concerning consular visits.

Since the month of March, there has always been at least a family member or two that visit Former President Duterte almost every day precisely to guarantee his well-being and humane treatment. The permission given by the ICC in allowing the agents of the very government that abducted FPRRD to intrude upon him, without seeking permission from family members who are in the Hague, places his life and safety in imminent danger.

If such sham "welfare checks" are allowed to continue, then the ICC and the Philippine Government must be prepared to answer, fully and directly, for any harm that comes to Former President Duterte — including, should the worst happen, his death in custody as a direct result of these intrusions — the false pretense of conducting a "welfare check." These are nothing but orders of President Marcos disguised as consular functions, and we strongly object to such visits. FPRRD does not need you, our family will take care of him.

President Marcos should know that we have several Overseas Filipinos around the world — detained, distressed, abandoned or neglected — who have not had the benefit of a single welfare check from the Philippine government. They need you but you have failed them.

We, Filipinos, deserve better.
