The number of jobless Filipinos dropped to its lowest since April 2005, which Malacañang attributed to the Marcos administration’s efforts to generate more jobs.

Fresh from his state visit to China, President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. and his Chinese counterpart XI Jinping were able to discuss the maritime disputes at the West Philippine Sea with “mutual respect and sincerity”.

Activities leading to the Jan. 9 Fiesta of the Black Nazarene start on Saturday, Jan. 7, with the “Pagpupugay” at the Quirino Grandstand.

The Department of Health (DOH) said there was no need to panic over the Omicron subvariant XBB.1.5, which is being blamed for a recent surge in Covid-19 cases in the United States. However, the agency underscored that Filipinos should remain vigilant.

Details of these major stories are but a click away in the MB Daily News Update this Friday afternoon, Jan. 6, 2023.

LEADING BY EXAMPLE -- With his men behind him, Manila Police District (MPD) Director Brig. Gen. Andre P. Dizon holds up a copy of his courtesy resignation at the MPD Headquarters on United Nations Ave. in Manila on Friday, Jan. 6, 2022. Dizon will be submitting his courtesy resignation to higher authorities in response to the call and challenge made by Interior and Local Government Secretary Benjamin ‘Benhur’ Abalos Jr. for all police generals and colonels to do so amid fears that some high-ranking police officials are involved in the illegal drug trade.
