The Philippines is not bowing to China's demand to remove one of the country's military vessels in the West Philippine Sea as it is part of its exclusive economic zone.
Public Works and Highways Secretary Manuel Bonoan disagreed that the construction of various infrastructure projects has affected the drainage systems and waterways in Bulacan and caused the massive flooding there recently.
The Department of Education (DepEd) will be releasing the P5,000 cash allowance to eligible teachers once classes in public schools start by the end of this month.
