Sa isang pahayag sa Truth Social, ibinunyag ni U.S. President Donald Trump ang bagong kasunduan sa kalakalan sa pagitan ng Amerika at Pilipinas.

Ibababa sa 19% ang taripa sa mga produktong Pilipino na pumapasok sa U.S., mula sa dating 20%. Sa kabilang banda, magiging open market ang Pilipinas para sa mga produkto mula Amerika at wala nang buwis sa imports. Pinalalakas din ng kasunduan ang ugnayang militar ng dalawang bansa.

Nasunog ang usa ka barko nga puno sa mga pasahero samtang naglawig sa kadagatan sa Indonesia.

Base sa live video ni Abdul Rahman, makita ang tensiyonado nga kahimtang sa barko diin daghang pasahero ang napugos sa pag-ambak sa dagat tungod sa kalayo nga misilaob sa sakyanan.

This was personally confirmed to DZRH News by his common-law wife, Honeylet Avanceรฑa.

Avanceรฑa shared that the decision to let go of the property was a difficult one, brought about by both emotional and security concerns.

โ€œMasakit sa dibdib ko every time I go inside. Ako na lang ang pumapasok diyan. May apat na katulong pero walang amo. We abandoned it after what happened. I cannot sleep there anymore because the lawyers asked us to install a CCTV even inside the bedroom." Avanceรฑa told DZRH.

LOOK: AIR INDIA LAUNCHES NON-STOP FLIGHTS TO MANILA STARTING OCTOBER 1! โœˆ๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ญ

Air India is set to make history as the only airline offering direct flights between Delhi and Manila, starting October 1, 2025!

๐Ÿ—“๏ธ Schedule: 5x weekly - Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays
๐Ÿ›ซ Aircraft: Airbus A321neo with Business, Premium Economy, and Economy cabins

This new route strengthens tourism, trade, and cultural ties between India and the Philippines, especially as the Philippines now allows visa-free entry for Indian tourists for up to 14 days.

๐ŸŒด Indian travelers can now easily access Boracay, Palawan, Cebu, and more while boosting a tourism market rich in culture, nature, and adventure.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Air India CEO Campbell Wilson said the route supports Indiaโ€™s growing outbound market and reflects Indian touristsโ€™ rising spending power.

๐Ÿ’ผ Bilateral trade is also booming hitting US$3.53 billion in 2023โ€“24, almost double compared to 2015-16 and this direct link opens more doors for economic growth and travel.
