Speaking to reporters after attending the 18th BRICS Summit in India, Marcos said such accusations were attacks against his administration rather than comments on the judicial process.

Romualdez is facing legal proceedings over allegations linked to the government’s investigation into the multibillion-peso flood control scandal.

Marcos maintained that authorities should hold those responsible for wrongdoing accountable regardless of personal or political ties. He also stressed that those facing allegations must be given due process.

Senator Panfilo “Ping” Lacson on Sunday praised Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr. for firmly defending the Philippines’ position on the South China Sea dispute and international law during a security forum in Seoul.

Lacson said Teodoro’s response to Chinese delegates questioning the 2016 South China Sea Arbitration Award showed the Philippines’ capacity to make its voice heard on the global stage.

He also cited the praise Teodoro reportedly received from South Korean netizens following his exchange with the Chinese delegates during the Seoul Defense Dialogue on Sept. 8.

Teodoro read aloud a note from a Chinese delegate challenging the arbitral ruling and stressed the importance of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).

Lacson said Teodoro’s performance reflected the kind of intellectual ability and leadership that could represent the Philippines before world leaders.

MANILA – Executive Secretary Ralph Recto led the distribution of financial assistance to 770 villages across Cavite’s 22 cities and municipalities under the Marcos administration’s “Bawat Barangay Makikinabang” program.

Under the initiative, every barangay receives PHP200,000, with half going to the Bagong Pilipinas Barangay Scholars Program, providing Php20,000 each to five incoming fourth-year college students.

Addressing barangay officials during the turnover on Friday, Recto said President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. considers education key to helping families overcome poverty.

“Naniniwala po ang Pangulo na edukasyon ang pinaka susi para makaahon sa kahirapan ang isang pamilya, gayundin ang isang bansa. Kaya ang gusto niya, bawat barangay, may (The President believes that education is the key for a family, as well as a country, to rise from poverty. That is why he wants every barangay to have) college graduates,” Recto said, as quoted in a news release Sunday.

The other PHP100,000 will support development priorities such as solar streetlights, patrol and emergency equipment, disaster risk reduction equipment, and other public service needs.

Recto urged barangay officials to ensure transparency and accountability in using the funds.

“Direkta pong ipinagkatiwala sa inyo ng Pangulo ang pondong ito, dahil kayo ang araw-araw na nasa ground (The President directly entrusted these funds to you because you are the ones on the ground every day),” he said.

“Kayo ang pinaka nakakaalam kung ano ang totoong prayoridad at pangangailangan ng inyong mga komunidad (You know best the real priorities and needs of your communities),” he said.

The program is being implemented nationwide, with all 42,010 villages programmed to receive PHP200,000 each under the implementing guidelines. PNA

MANILA – The Commission on Elections (Comelec) said Saturday it is all set to conduct the first-ever Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) Parliamentary Elections (BPE) on Sept. 14.

“We are 100 percent ready for the election on Monday,” he said in an interview on the sidelines of the final testing and sealing of the automated counting machines (ACMs) at the Cotabato City Institute in Cotabato City.

Garcia reminded registered voters in the region to shade the ovals on the ballot instead of putting an X so the ACMs could read their ballots.

“To the voters, do not mark the oval with an X. The requirement is to shade the oval at least 25 percent (threshold). It is okay if the shading extends slightly beyond the circle,” he said.

“Also, do not just put a dot; your eyes might see it, but the machine might not. That is why shading is better. Please do not use an X; we need to shade it (oval).”

He noted that some teachers who will assist voters encountered some issues while testing the ACMs, but these were resolved.

“Our teachers have seen some issues, such as wrong placement of this and that. That is better. This is the purpose of our final testing and sealing so that on Monday, they know what they have to do, as they have already experienced and therefore, they will not have any difficulty on Monday,” he said.

Reminders

Garcia called on the candidates to conduct their “meeting de avance” peacefully.

“Let us conduct the final campaign rally peacefully. Such gathering is part of the process,” he said.

He also urged the people in the region to remain alert – before, during, and after the polls.

“Your Commission on Elections is ready, especially regarding the peace and order situation... However, I would like to tell our fellow citizens in the Bangsamoro that vigilance should not end on Monday. We must remain watchful even after the election, because sometimes, especially those who are unsuccessful do not accept their defeat. The Comelec is prepared for such events or incidents,” Garcia said.

A total of 80 parliamentary seats will be contested in the BARMM elections.

Comelec data show the region has 2,393,202 registered voters. PNA

MANILA – President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. arrived in New Delhi, India on Saturday (Manila time) to champion the Association of Southeast Asian Nations’ (ASEAN) priorities on peace and security, inclusive growth, and regional resilience at the 18th BRICS Summit.

The airplane carrying the President, First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos, and several Cabinet secretaries landed at about 2:20 a.m. Saturday (11:50 p.m. Friday, New Delhi time) at the Palam Air Force Station in New Delhi, the Presidential Communications Office said.

Marcos, as this year’s ASEAN chair, will represent the regional bloc at the BRICS Summit.

The Philippines was also invited as an “outreach country,” a non-member nation allowed to participate in the summit discussions and dialogues.

With the theme “Building for Resilience, Innovation, Cooperation and Sustainability,” this year’s summit marks the 20th anniversary of BRICS since its establishment in 2006.

Marcos will join other world leaders expected to attend, including Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Other ASEAN leaders expected to attend are Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto, whose country is a full member of BRICS, as well as Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and Vietnamese Prime Minister Le Minh Hung, whose countries are BRICS partners.

Marcos will attend the summit’s Open Session on Sept. 13, where he is expected to present the priorities and gains of the Philippines’ ASEAN chairship and discuss pressing issues affecting developing countries and emerging economies.

On the sidelines of the summit, Marcos will meet with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to further strengthen Philippine-Indian ties.

The bilateral meeting will focus on defense, trade, health, digital cooperation, tourism, connectivity, and people-to-people ties.

Marcos will also hold a series of business meetings with Indian companies and business leaders to explore potential investments and expansion opportunities in the Philippines in such sectors as infrastructure, digitalization, information technology, pharmaceuticals, transportation, and logistics.
