International Justice Day, observed every July 17, commemorates the global pursuit of accountability and human rights. The date marks the signing of the Rome Statute in 1998, which led to the creation of the International Criminal Court (ICC), the first permanent international court with the authority to prosecute individuals responsible for crimes like genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity.

This day serves as a powerful reminder that justice should transcend borders and political power. It affirms the idea that no one is above the law, and that victims of the gravest offenses deserve recognition, redress, and a voice in the international legal system.

Since its founding, the ICC has conducted huge trials, issued arrest warrants, helped shape international law, and challenging impunity. Though its work is complex and often politically sensitive, the court stands as a symbol of hope for those seeking justice in the aftermath of conflict and oppression.

International Justice Day also invites reflection on how societies can strengthen their legal frameworks, support survivors, and confront new challenges, from digital threats to authoritarian abuses. It’s a day not just for lawyers and policymakers, but for anyone who believes in fairness, dignity, and the power of truth.

Major banks have started implementing new tax rates on interest income from deposit products upon the effectivity of Republic Act 12214 or the Capital Markets Efficiency Promotion Act (CMEPA) on July 1, 2025.

The newly passed law sought to create a more inclusive and efficient financial system that simplifies tax treatment of passive income and capital market transactions, while also aligning the country’s policies with global standards.

Metropolitan Bank & Trust Co., Union Bank of the Philippines and Security Bank Corp. confirmed that interest income earned from both peso and foreign currency accounts now has a uniform 20 percent final withholding tax (FWT), regardless of term or currency denomination.

“This reform benefits both institutional and individual Filipino investors who seek to grow and diversify their investment portfolio,” Metrobank said in an advisory.

The CMEPA amended several provisions of the National Internal Revenue Code of 1997, which also imposes final tax rates of 20 percent on royalties as passive income, 10 percent on literary works and musical compositions.

World Emoji Day 😁😝🥲

On this day, July 17th, marks the annual celebration of World Emoji Day, a global event that focuses on recognizing the impact and fun of emojis in our digital lives. This day encourages us to appreciate the small digital icons that provide emotion and fun to our online conversations.

It was created in 2014 by Jeremy Burge, the founder of Emojipedia. The date, July 17th, was chosen because it is the date that appears on the calendar emoji in many systems, notably Apple's version, referencing the date iCal was first announced for Mac OS X in 2002.

World Emoji Day is an opportunity to celebrate the creativity and expressiveness that emojis bring to our conversations and social media posts. It is a reminder of how emojis have become a significant part of digital conversations, helping us to convey emotions and ideas quickly and universally.

NAVI PH wipes CFU gaming in Mobile Legends Women’s Invitational 2025

NAVI PH began their title defense with a 2-0 sweep over Cambodia’s CFU Gaming in the Mobile Legends Women’s Invitational (MWI) 2025 group stage held on July 16, at the Esports World Cup in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Formerly Smart Omega Empress, the team debuted in Philippine Esports after earning a slot through the Athena League, acquired last May 2025 by Ukrainian Esports powerhouse Natus Vincere (NAVI).

Head coach Salman “KingSalman” Macarambon said the team is energized by the change, as it represents a fresh start and an opportunity to level up under a global organization.

The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) has banned gambling advertisements during primetime television hours, from 5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., and ordered the removal of all billboard and transit ads nationwide on Saturday, July 12.

“At these times families are together after office work, having dinner and sharing stories,” PAGCOR Chairman and CEO Alejandro Tengco said on dzMM Teleradyo.

PAGCOR will formalize the agreement with the Ad Standards Council of the Philippines (ASCP) on July 16, 2025, which aims to tighten regulations on gambling promotions and protect the public, particularly the minors.

With the agreement, operators and licensees must submit an inventory of their existing billboard and wallscape ads by July 16, and they must be taken down by August 15.

Gambling promotions will also be removed from transport vehicles, including buses and jeepneys, and near schools and places of worship.

Only responsible gaming campaigns approved by PAGCOR will be allowed moving forward.

On July 8, PAGCOR opposed the complete ban of online gambling but expressed the need for stricter regulations. “Regulating excessive and pervasive gambling advertisements is a critical step in protecting vulnerable sectors of society, especially the youth," Tengco stated.
