THE government, through the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) has released the second batch of financial assistance to 34 former New People’s Army (NPA) rebels in the province of Zamboanga Sibugay.

The financial assistance amounting to P170,000 was released to recipients Friday at the headquarters of the Army’s 44th Infantry Battalion (IB) in Imelda, Zamboanga Sibugay province.  

Junila Regañon of the Zamboanga Sibugay Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office, who led the distribution of financial assistance, said each of the recipients received P5,000.

The distribution of financial assistance was held in partnership with the Provincial Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (PTF-Elcac) and 44IB.

Lieutenant Colonel Filven Noche, 44IB commander, said the financial assistance is to support the daily needs of the former NPA rebels “as they are reintegrated into the mainstream society during this time of Covid-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic."

Noche vowed to continue the support to the local government units in implementing Provincial Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict programs to the people of Zamboanga Sibugay province.

He said sustaining the convergence ensures continuity of government services and alleviates the pandemic situation experienced by the former NPA rebels and militia ng bayan members. (SunStar Zamboanga)

How a cyber attack hampered Hong Kong protesters

Massive public protests taking place in Hong Kong over the past week are aimed at a new extradition law, known as the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance , that would see accused criminals extradited to mainland China to face prosecution. Hongkongers feel the law could be used to legalise the kidnapping of people who express views, and act in ways, that are not popular with the Chinese government . The same law could also be used to extradite tourists and visitors to China who are arrested on suspicion of having committed these crimes. Protesters want the bill scrapped. For now, debate of the legislation has been postponed . Organisers say one million people turned out for the protests, while police estimate the number was around 240,000. Either way, it was a significant number of Hong Kong’s 7.5 million population. Commentators on Twitter remarked on how well organised the protesters were. So, how did they do it? Protesters across the world are using n

In fact, no ideology has been as genocidal as Islam… Islam has killed more than 5 times the number of people killed by communism. In the total numbers we have updated over 80 million Christians killed by Muslims in 500 years in the Balkan states, Hungary, Ukraine, Russia. Then we have India. The official estimate number of Muslim slaughters of Hindus is 80 million. However, Muslim historian Firistha (b. 1570) wrote (in either Tarikh-i Firishta or  the Gulshan-i Ibrahim) that Muslims slaughtered over 400 million Hindus up to the peak of Islamic rule of India, bringing the Hindu population down from 600 mil to 200 million at the time. With these new additions the Muslim genocide of non-Muslims since the birth of Mohammed would be  over 669 million murders. Islam: The Religion of Genocide Perspective:   Think the Spanish inquisition was bad? More people are killed by Islamists each year than in all 350 years of the Spanish Inquisition* combined.
