WATCH: A group of graduating Electrical Engineering students of the Eastern Visayas State University in Tacloban City developed a locally sourced renewable energy system that generates 70 percent of its power from solar energy and 30 percent from hydropower, providing electricity to at least five streetlights along a farm-to-market road in Barangay Socsocon in Pastrana, Leyte. They turned over the project to local officials on Friday (May 15, 2026). The hydropower component harnesses energy from the existing flow of irrigation water without disrupting agricultural operations. Using a mini-hydro turbine, the system takes advantage of the canal’s steady water current to produce additional renewable energy. | via Sarwell Meniano

WATCH: President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. on Monday (Dec. 1, 2025) orders the suspension of the Complete Disability Discharge (CDD) of Army Captain Jerome Jacuba, who lost his sight after being hit by an explosive while on duty. In a video message, the President said it was “not fair” for the military to release an officer who had already risked his life in service to the country, adding that Jacuba should instead be promoted to the rank of major and reassigned to adaptive duties suitable to his experience. Marcos directed the Armed Forces of the Philippines Chief of Staff Gen. Romeo Brawner to identify roles that Jacuba can still perform, noting that his 15 years of service equips him with valuable expertise. The President likewise instructed the Department of National Defense to review and reform the CDD policy to ensure that injured soldiers are not automatically separated from service without due recognition of their sacrifice. He said the government would craft a new policy “as soon as possible” to strengthen institutional support for uniformed personnel injured in the line of duty. | Darryl John Esguerra

WATCH: In her first media interview as “Palace press officer,” lawyer Claire Castro slams former president Rodrigo Duterte for his “baseless” claims that President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. is veering towards a dictatorship. “Hindi tayo pwedeng maniwala sa mga pang-iintriga lamang na walang ebidensya,” she said. Citing how former senator Leila de Lima was jailed over trumped up charges during the Duterte administration, Castro said the public cannot expect anything from former president but intrigues and fabricated evidences. “Siguro naman napatunayan natin ’yan sa panahon ni Senator Leila de Lima. Ano pa ba ang ie-expect natin sa dating Pangulong Duterte? Gumawa ng intriga, magplanta ng ebidensya,” she said. | Darryl John Esguerra

WATCH: President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. on Saturday (Dec. 14, 2024) ordered the distribution of 21 containers of confiscated frozen mackerel from China, valued at PHP178.5 million, to evacuation centers, hospitals, care facilities, and prison facilities supervised by the Bureau of Corrections (BuCor). Marcos: Ang naging susi rito ay ang coordination between the different agencies, ‘yun lagi ang pinakamahalaga, because the different agencies are working all together all the way up to the end. Because ang end consumer nito ay DSWD kaya mula rito pupunta tayo doon naman sa pagdi-distribute nitong nahuling smuggled na isda, para ipamigay na lang natin. Dahil ganito karami, kung bibigyan natin ang bawat, halimbawa, pamilya o bawat tao ng tig-i-isang kilo, makakapagbigay tayo ng isang kilo sa 580,000 na tao. Kaya’t ‘yan ang gagawin natin. Ibibigay natin, halimbawa, sa evacuation centers, doon sa mga ospital, ibibigay natin sa BUCOR—lahat ‘yan, para hindi naman masayang. Na-inspection na ito, safe for human consumption habang pwede pa. I-distribute na natin para hindi naman masayang at magamit naman ng ating mga kababayan. I hope that this is the first of many operations such as this. This is very, very important at kailangan natin makontrol, kailangan natin ma-supervise ang ating food supply. Kapag tuloy-tuloy ang ginagawang ganito, hindi natin magagawa ‘yon. That’s why we enacted into law The Anti-Agricultural Sabotage Act.
