PLDT-smart at Globe tapos na ang paghahari. 2017/11/21 00:02:40abante.com.ph Tapos na ang maliligayang araw ng dalawang dambuhalang telecommunications company na kumokontrol sa mabagal na internet service sa bansa matapos buksan ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte sa China ang pag-operate ng ikatlong Telco sa Pilipinas. Sinabi kahapon ni Presidential Spokesman Harry Roque na kasunod ito ng nilagdaang proyekto ng Pilipinas at China na “Luzon Bypass” ng Pacific Light Cable Network, isang affiliate ng Facebook, na magbibigay ng bandwidth na two terabits per second. “President Duterte offered to the People’s Republic of China the privilege to operate the third telecom’s carrier in the country. This comes after the Philippine...
The Philippines is not conceding to China the country’s legal rights to fish on Scarborough shoal, Malacañang said on Thursday, even calling as “fish thievery” the actions of Chinese Coast Guard officers taking the catch of Filipino fishermen in the West Philippine Sea. “We do not concede,” Roque said in a Palace briefing after acting Chief Justice Antonio Carpio warned the government that it may lose its legal right to fish on Scarborough if it concedes to China’s narrative that it only allowed Filipino fishermen there “out of goodwill.” Chinese Ambassador Zhao Jianhua said on Tuesday that “some sort of barter trade” have been going on between Filipino fishermen and members of the Chinese Coast Guard after fishermen from Masinloc ...
DepEd resets school opening to Oct 5 GMA Network’s newscaster Arnold Clavio reacted on President Dutere’s comments of having the funds for COVID-19 response already depleted.

The problem is the funds are already depleted,” the President said. Newscaster Clavio was dissatisfied by the...
VATICAN CITY — On Christianity’s most joyful day, Pope Francis in his Easter Sunday message called for peace in a world marked by war and conflict, “beginning with the beloved and long-suffering land of Syria,” and extending to the entire Middle East, the Korean peninsula and parts of Africa affected by “hunger, endemic conflicts and terrorism.” Francis reflected on the power of Christianity’s core belief – that Jesus rose from the dead following crucifixion – in his formal “Urbi et Orbi” Easter message delivered from the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica to a packed square below. The pontiff said the message of the resurrection offers hope in a world “marked by so many acts of injustice and violence.” “It bears fruits of hope and...
The web feature, “Collateral Damage: The Children of Duterte’s ‘War on Drugs,’” shares stories on the plight of several children who have suffered from the emotional, psychological, and economic impacts of the “drug war” violence. The administration of President Rodrigo Duterte should not only end the violence but provide the necessary services to mitigate the damage that abuses by the police and police-backed vigilantes have caused children who have lost parents and other family members, or witnessed extrajudicial killings. “No child should experience the loss of a parent or other family member to extrajudicial killings or witness such horrific violence at the hands of police or hitmen,” said Carlos Conde, Philippines researcher. “The...
THE POST-SALALIMA DICT PLAN FOR FIXING OUR INTERNET By Eliseo Rio Jr (OIC of DICT) The reason why we have such a small number of cellsites towers (Vietnam has 70,000 towers compared to our 20,000) is that we need 25 government permits to construct one cell tower. But also for more than a decade since 2002, the killer application in our mobile network was TEXTING, where we became the texting capital of the world. With nearly a billion SMS sent and received a day, the telcos were getting most of their revenues from this single service. AND THE 20,000 TOWERS ARE MORE THAN ENOUGH TO HANDLE THE SMS TRAFFIC. So there was no real incentive to install more towers. But when the smart phones and tablets become popular and texting is being...

Habang nagmamasid sa madilim na kapaligiran sa loob nitong kwarto, palipat lipat ang multong boses ng hangin sa labas na minsan malakas at mahina dagdag mo pa rito ang madirinig na may kasamang pag bagsak ng mga sanga sa ibabaw nang solidong bubong. sinabayan pa ng ulan na mararamdaman mo kase di mo rin mapagkakaila ang napakalamig nang hanging pilit na pumapasok sa loob. Maya't maya, nag-iba na naman ang direksyon ng hangin at bigla-biglaang may papasok na tubig na mula sa labas galing sa mga butas na maaring pasukan sa bahay, nagkaroon din nang mga kakaibang tunog mula sa mga pundasyon na animo'y nagluluwag-luwagan. At dahil sa ganitong pangyayari, di mo maiiwasan ang pagbagsak ng mga puno at paglipad ng kung anu-ano na tumutoktok sa...
Chinese astronauts are busy learning how to destroy other nations’ satellites, agency. China might be contemplating a “takeover” of the Moon as part of its military space program, NASA’s administrator Bill Nelson has told newspaper Bild. In an interview published on Saturday, Nelson claimed that the United States is now involved in a new race to space, with China this time. He emphasized that in 2035 Beijing might finish construction of its own Moon station and start experiments a year later. 79-year-old Nelson claimed that we must be very concerned about China landing on the Moon and saying that it now belongs to the Peoples’ Republic and everyone else should stay out. Claiming that China’s space program is a “military” space...

ZAMBOANGA CITY – The city police director here has appealed for the support and cooperation of the community in curtailing incidents of gun shootings here. Col. Alexander Lorenzo, Zamboanga City Police Office (ZCPO) chief, said Friday the residents can help police investigation by breaking "the barriers of fear.” “We need to help each other. Our citizens should be living security cameras who will report to us what happened,” Lorenzo said, adding that civilian tip-offs can save lives. He added: “The culture of ‘I don’t know’ should stop or as if implying that if it’s not our business, we will not help the authorities." The ZCPO has recorded 22 shooting incidents since January this year, with motives usually emanating from personal...
YøùTùbé’s recent *****down on ad blocker usage in the platform is facing a challenge over privacy issue. Privacy consultant based in Ireland, Alexander Hanff filed a complaint in October with the Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC) against YøùTùbé for alleged unlawful surveillance. Hanff argues that the ad blocker detection scripts that YøùTùbé is running are spyware and are îllégâl under EU online privacy laws. Historically, Hanff already reached to European Commission regarding the use of ad blocker detection tools in 2016. And the commission confirmed that such scripts fall under Article 5.3 of the ePrivacy Directive—a measure requiring websites to ask for user consent for storing or access to information on a user’s device...

YøùTùbé on Friday broadened its blocking of Russian state-linked media channels to apply internationally after initially barring them only in Europe following Moscow's invasion of Ukraine. Russia's internationally condemned attack has provoked unprecedented sanctions from Western governments and businesses, including a growing list of US tech firms. YøùTùbé's guidelines "prohibit content denying, minimizing or trivializing well-documented violent events, and we remove content about Russia's invasion in Ukraine that violates this policy," the video sharing platform said. "In line with that, effective immediately, we are also blocking YøùTùbé channels associated with Russian state-funded media, globally," it added. Related video...
