THE Mandaue City Government has signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) with the Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP) Cebu City Chapter to expedite the release of certain inmates, particularly those under preventive detention, to help decongest the Mandaue City Jail. The agreement was made through the program “Humanity Behind Bars: An Integrated Jail Decongestion and Management” at the Office of the City Mayor on Monday, Feb. 26, 2024.The MOA signing was attended by officials of the Mandaue City Government and the Mandaue City Police Office (MCPO), and representatives from the Mandaue City Jail male and female dormitories, among others. Participants discussed the key components of the program which include the introduction of a digital platform called Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDL) Management Data designed to inventory and monitor the case status of PDLs, decongest jails, and facilitate efficient correctional facility management.During the event, the IBP Cebu City Chapter presented Oplan Bilis Laya, a legal aid service aimed at assisting in the timely release of PDLs who have completed their sentence or are eligible for probation, pardon, parole, or early release. The service is provided with the help of law students who work under the supervision of the IBP Cebu City Legal Aid Service Group. The IBP Cebu City Chapter has established MOAs with Cebu law schools for their various initiatives.Challenges Mary Grace Casano, executive director for legal aid of the IBP Cebu City Chapter core team, presented common challenges faced by courts and jail facilities that impede the Philippine justice system. The challenges include institutional barriers such as the lack of drug courts causing delays in court proceedings. According to the IBP, there is an unbalanced number of drug courts even though 90 percent of PDL cases involve violations of Republic Act 9165, otherwise known as the Comprehensive Dangerous Act of 2002.There is also a shortage of judges, prosecutors, public attorneys, parole and probation officers, and court personnel. Moreover, inadequate and substandard facilities and living conditions in jails, delays in drug dependency examination (DDE) due to the lack of accredited DDE physicians, the financial incapacity of PDLs, jail congestion and overcrowding contribute to the problem.Jose Glenn Capanas, dean of the University of San Carlos School of Law and Governance said based on Supreme Court (SC) records in 2023, approximately 70 percent or roughly 335 out of the 478 jail facilities nationwide are overcrowded. Out of around 126,000 inmates in the country, 69.51 percent or around 87,500 are under preventive detention; while only 30.49 percent, or around 38,400 had been convicted and sentenced.Quoting SC records, Capanas said around 87,203 out of the 126,000 inmates nationwide are facing charges related to illegal drugs, while 39,144 have non-drug-related cases. While the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) reported a drop in jail congestion (367 percent in 2023) compared to 600 percent in 2018, Capanas said the country’s jail congestion rate has remained relatively high. Therefore, there is a need for collaboration between judges, jail personnel, local government units, and other stakeholders to lower congestion, he said.The SC defines preventive detention as the temporary confinement of an alleged suspect in jail or prison while undergoing investigation or trial and awaiting final judgment. Mandaue jail Over at the Mandaue City Jail (MCJ), Jonathan Baltar, superintendent of the male dormitory, said out of around 1,506 male PDLs, 406 persons were under preventive detention as of Tuesday, March 5. Shela Serrano, superintendent of the MCJ female dormitory, also reported that 87 out of the 126 female PDLs were under preventive detention.In 2015, the MCJ was ranked as one of the most congested jail facilities in Central Visayas with a congestion rate of 1,701 percent, according to the BJMP Its male facility, originally designed to accommodate around 95 inmates, hosted around 1,000 male inmates at the time, while its female dormitory which could accommodate only around 22 PDLs catered to about a hundred female inmates.According to court officials, the main reason for the slow disposal of cases was the lack of trial courts to handle the large volume of cases in Mandaue City. There are only three Regional Trial Court (RTC) branches in Mandaue City compared to 22 in Cebu City. Mandaue City RTC Branch 83 Executive Judge Alan Garciano said they are implementing a new system to expedite the release of PDLs who have served their maximum sentence. The system involves acknowledging the release of the PDLs without need for a court order, as long as jail personnel can verify that the PDL has indeed completed their sentence. “The court is informed of the release seven days before the PDL’s release, as stated by the Office of the Court Administrator Circular No. 201-2022,” said Garciano.To help decongest the MCJ, the Mandaue City Government has built a wider jail facility with a larger inmate capacity. In September 2023, the MCJ male dormitory moved to its new location in Sitio Dunggoan, Barangay Basak which significantly improved their congestion problem, Baltar said.However, PDLs at the female dormitory have yet to transfer from the old MCJ facility in Barangay Looc to Barangay Basak as the new area for the female dormitory remains swampy.Serrano said as soon as an embankment is built, the transfer would take place. The new MCJ facility has an ideal capacity of 280 inmates for its male dormitory and 40 inmates for the female dormitory. / HIC Is there a slot game where you can win real money? Philippines THE Supreme Court (SC) has found former anti-insurgency task force spokesperson Lorraine Badoy guilty of indirect contempt following the online attacks she launched against a Manila judge.In a decision penned by Senior Associate Justice Marvic Leonen, Badoy was ordered to pay a fine of P30,000 and was warned that a repetition of the same or similar acts in the future shall merit a more severe sanction.Badoy, through her Facebook page with over 166,000 followers, accused Regional Trial Court of Manila, Branch 19 Judge Marlo A. Magdoza-Malagar of being a member of the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army (NPA) after issuing a resolution dismissing the petition of the Department of Justice (DOJ) to proscribe the organization as a terrorist group under the Human Security Act.She also uploaded a post threatening to kill Magdoza-Malagar and to bomb his offices.Badoy also tagged him as “unprincipled and rotten.”Her posts were supported by her followers who even offered her their assistance.This has prompted a group of lawyers to file a petition against Badoy for indirect contempt.In the decision, the court noted the need to balance the exercise of free speech and the protection of judicial independence.“One’s right to freedom of expression must be as fully protected as possible; however, its exercise must never transgress the equally important aspects of democracy, not least of all the Judiciary’s dignity and authority,” held the Court.Direct contempt is committed when one engages in “misbehavior in the presence of or so near a court as to obstruct or interrupt the proceedings,” while indirect contempt involves actions that are committed not within the presence of the court, including improper conduct tending, directly or indirectly, to impede, obstruct, or degrade the administration of justice.The SC also noted that Badoy’s criticisms were not made in good faith or without malice. “She did not act with an honest sense of duty or with an interest in the pure and efficient administration of justice and public affairs. Instead, she was impelled by a self-seeking motive, which was to stir discontent among her audience, as evidenced by her use of violent and abrasive language in hurling accusations at Judge Magdoza-Malagar,” it said.“Second, Badoy’s comments were not a fair and true reporting of a proceeding. On the contrary, Badoy imputed serious allegations against Judge Magdoza-Malagar and the Judiciary without any factual basis, said the Court. Her posts and even the pleadings she filed before the Court do not indicate that she possesses evidence to support her scandalous statements,” it added.It said Badoy’s claims cast doubt on the legitimacy of Magdoza-Malagar’s decision, which resulted for the public to prejudge the case.It said it is nothing but an act of intimidation to influence the resolution of a pending case.The court also cautioned online personalities and influencers, underscoring that unregulated speech online and the spread of fake news pose real consequences in the real world.“To maintain their popularity, online personalities tend to publish a steady stream of shocking or attention-grabbing content to take advantage of their audience’s negativity bias, that is, the natural human tendency to latch on to something bad rather than good. In a bid to ensure that their posts would become viral, they would make statements that produce heightened negative emotions, chasing after the dopamine rush brought about by the substantial increase in their followers and likes. The result is a proliferation of posts made to further their personal gain and popularity, without regard for the public good,” said the court.“Online personalities thus have a duty to verify the truthfulness of the content they put out on the internet. It behooves them to validate the source of news through fact-checking and even through source-checking, lest they unwittingly disseminate fake news and even cause real-world harm,” it added.Badoy was earlier cited in contempt at the House of Representatives for acting in a disrespectful manner and for refusing to answer relevant questions during an inquiry against Sonshine Media Network International (SMNI) to which they served as program hosts.In one of their episodes, Badoy and her co-host Jeffrey Celiz took a swipe at House Speaker Martin Romualdez for spending P1.8 billion for his travels.The claim was denied by Romualdez.Celis later admitted that such information was unverified.

(TPM/SunStar Philippines) How often does DFA open slots for appointment? LONDON — Kate, the Princess of Wales, has cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy, she revealed Friday in a stunning announcement that followed weeks of speculation about her health and whereabouts.The princess disclosed her condition in a video message recorded Wednesday in Windsor and broadcast Friday. It came after relentless speculation on social media ever since January, when she was hospitalized for unspecified abdominal surgery.Kate asked for “time, space and privacy” while she is treated for an unspecified type of cancer that was discovered after what she described as “major” surgery.Wearing a casual striped sweater and jeans, Kate sat on a wooden bench in front of a lawn dotted with daffodils. The flowers, which bloom in early spring, are often used as a symbol of hope for people fighting cancer.“I am well," she said. "I am getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal.”Kate, 42, hadn’t been seen publicly since Christmas until video surfaced this week of her with her husband, Prince William, heir to the throne. It showed them walking from a shop that sells produce grown on the royal family's Windsor estate.The news is another jolt for the royal family since the announcement last month that King Charles III was being treated for an unspecified type of cancer that was discovered while undergoing a procedure for a benign enlarged prostate.Charles said he is “so proud of Catherine for her courage in speaking as she did,” according to a statement released by Buckingham Palace. The king, who received prostate treatment in the same hospital and at the same time Kate had her surgery, remained in the “closest contact with his beloved daughter-in-law" in the past weeks.The king and Queen Camilla “will continue to offer their love and support to the whole family through this difficult time," the palace said.Prince Harry and his wife Meghan, who have been estranged from William and Kate since their move to California in 2020, wished the princess well.“We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace," they said in a statement.Before Friday, Kensington Palace had given little detail about Kate’s condition beyond saying it wasn’t cancer-related, the surgery was successful and recuperation would keep the princess away from public duties until April. Kate said it had been thought that her condition was non-cancerous until post-surgery tests revealed the diagnosis.“This of course came as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family," she said.By choosing to speak directly to the country and the world about her condition, rather than issuing a statement through the palace, Kate offered a level of intimacy and transparency atypical of a member of the royal family and may help tamp down runaway conjecture. The king’s disclosure of his condition was also notably open by royal standards.Kate said it had taken her time to recover from the surgery before starting “preventative” treatment, which she said was in the early stages.Dr. Shivan Sivakumar, associate professor in oncology at the University of Birmingham, said it’s unclear what the princess meant by “preventative” chemotherapy but he presumed that it’s what is known as “adjuvant” chemotherapy in the medical profession.“This is chemotherapy after an operation to prevent recurrence,” he said. “This is to attempt to destroy any circulating cancer cells.”Kate said it has been “an incredibly tough couple of months” for her family. She said it had taken time to tell her three children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis in a way “appropriate for them” and reassure them she will be OK.The announcement came after the start of the Easter holidays, which will shield the children from media coverage of the news.British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said in a statement that Kate “has shown tremendous bravery.””“We are incredibly sad to hear of the news,” said White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who opened her briefing with reporters moments after news of cancer treatment broke. “We are taking this in, this terrible news, as all of you are.”Charles, 75, has withdrawn from public duties while he has cancer treatment, though he's appeared frequently in photos carrying on meetings with government officials and dignitaries and was even seen going to church.Kate, on the other hand, had been out of view instead of appearing at charity events and promoting causes such as supporting children early in life, leading to weeks of speculation and gossip. Attempts to put rumors to bed by releasing a photo of her on Mother's Day in the U.K. surrounded by her three smiling children backfired when The Associated Press and other news agencies retracted the image because it had been manipulated.Kate issued a statement the next day acknowledging she liked to “experiment with editing” and apologizing for “any confusion” the photo had caused. But that did little to quell the speculation.Even the footage published by The Sun and TMZ that appeared to show Kate and William shopping sparked a new flurry of rumor-mongering, with some armchair sleuths refusing to believe the video showed Kate at all.Earlier this week, a British privacy watchdog said it was investigating a report that staff at the private London hospital where she was treated tried to snoop on her medical records while she was a patient for abdominal surgery.The former Kate Middleton, who married William in a fairy-tale wedding in 2011, has boosted the popularity and appeal of the British monarchy worldwide more than any royal since Princess Diana.The princess is the oldest of three children brought up in a well-to-do neighborhood in Berkshire, west of London. The Middletons have no aristocratic background, and the British press often referred to Kate as a “commoner” marrying into royalty.Her brother James Middleton posted on Instagram: “Over the years, we have climbed many mountains together. As a family, we will climb this one with you too.”Kate attended the private school Marlborough College and then University of St. Andrews in Scotland, where she met William around 2001. Friends and housemates at first, their relationship became widely publicized when they were pictured together on a skiing holiday in Switzerland in 2004.Kate graduated in 2005 with a degree in art history and a budding relationship with the prince.

Out of around 126,000 inmates in the country, 69.51 percent or around 87,500 are under preventive detention; while only 30.49 percent, or around 38,400 had been convicted and sentenced.Quoting SC records, Capanas said around 87,203 out of the 126,000 inmates nationwide are facing charges related to illegal drugs, while 39,144 have non-drug-related cases. While the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) reported a drop in jail congestion (367 percent in 2023) compared to 600 percent in 2018, Capanas said the country’s jail congestion rate has remained relatively high. Therefore, there is a need for collaboration between judges, jail personnel, local government units, and other stakeholders to lower congestion, he said.The SC defines preventive detention as the temporary confinement of an alleged suspect in jail or prison while undergoing investigation or trial and awaiting final judgment. Mandaue jail Over at the Mandaue City Jail (MCJ), Jonathan Baltar, superintendent of the male dormitory, said out of around 1,506 male PDLs, 406 persons were under preventive detention as of Tuesday, March 5. Shela Serrano, superintendent of the MCJ female dormitory, also reported that 87 out of the 126 female PDLs were under preventive detention.In 2015, the MCJ was ranked as one of the most congested jail facilities in Central Visayas with a congestion rate of 1,701 percent, according to the BJMP Its male facility, originally designed to accommodate around 95 inmates, hosted around 1,000 male inmates at the time, while its female dormitory which could accommodate only around 22 PDLs catered to about a hundred female inmates.According to court officials, the main reason for the slow disposal of cases was the lack of trial courts to handle the large volume of cases in Mandaue City. There are only three Regional Trial Court (RTC) branches in Mandaue City compared to 22 in Cebu City. Mandaue City RTC Branch 83 Executive Judge Alan Garciano said they are implementing a new system to expedite the release of PDLs who have served their maximum sentence. The system involves acknowledging the release of the PDLs without need for a court order, as long as jail personnel can verify that the PDL has indeed completed their sentence. “The court is informed of the release seven days before the PDL’s release, as stated by the Office of the Court Administrator Circular No. 201-2022,” said Garciano.To help decongest the MCJ, the Mandaue City Government has built a wider jail facility with a larger inmate capacity. In September 2023, the MCJ male dormitory moved to its new location in Sitio Dunggoan, Barangay Basak which significantly improved their congestion problem, Baltar said.However, PDLs at the female dormitory have yet to transfer from the old MCJ facility in Barangay Looc to Barangay Basak as the new area for the female dormitory remains swampy.Serrano said as soon as an embankment is built, the transfer would take place. The new MCJ facility has an ideal capacity of 280 inmates for its male dormitory and 40 inmates for the female dormitory. / HIC, check the following table to see what categories most online casinos in the Philippines fit in.

THE Supreme Court (SC) has found former anti-insurgency task force spokesperson Lorraine Badoy guilty of indirect contempt following the online attacks she launched against a Manila judge.In a decision penned by Senior Associate Justice Marvic Leonen, Badoy was ordered to pay a fine of P30,000 and was warned that a repetition of the same or similar acts in the future shall merit a more severe sanction.Badoy, through her Facebook page with over 166,000 followers, accused Regional Trial Court of Manila, Branch 19 Judge Marlo A. Magdoza-Malagar of being a member of the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army (NPA) after issuing a resolution dismissing the petition of the Department of Justice (DOJ) to proscribe the organization as a terrorist group under the Human Security Act.She also uploaded a post threatening to kill Magdoza-Malagar and to bomb his offices.Badoy also tagged him as “unprincipled and rotten.”Her posts were supported by her followers who even offered her their assistance.This has prompted a group of lawyers to file a petition against Badoy for indirect contempt.In the decision, the court noted the need to balance the exercise of free speech and the protection of judicial independence.“One’s right to freedom of expression must be as fully protected as possible; however, its exercise must never transgress the equally important aspects of democracy, not least of all the Judiciary’s dignity and authority,” held the Court.Direct contempt is committed when one engages in “misbehavior in the presence of or so near a court as to obstruct or interrupt the proceedings,” while indirect contempt involves actions that are committed not within the presence of the court, including improper conduct tending, directly or indirectly, to impede, obstruct, or degrade the administration of justice.The SC also noted that Badoy’s criticisms were not made in good faith or without malice. “She did not act with an honest sense of duty or with an interest in the pure and efficient administration of justice and public affairs. Instead, she was impelled by a self-seeking motive, which was to stir discontent among her audience, as evidenced by her use of violent and abrasive language in hurling accusations at Judge Magdoza-Malagar,” it said.“Second, Badoy’s comments were not a fair and true reporting of a proceeding. On the contrary, Badoy imputed serious allegations against Judge Magdoza-Malagar and the Judiciary without any factual basis, said the Court. Her posts and even the pleadings she filed before the Court do not indicate that she possesses evidence to support her scandalous statements,” it added.It said Badoy’s claims cast doubt on the legitimacy of Magdoza-Malagar’s decision, which resulted for the public to prejudge the case.It said it is nothing but an act of intimidation to influence the resolution of a pending case.The court also cautioned online personalities and influencers, underscoring that unregulated speech online and the spread of fake news pose real consequences in the real world.“To maintain their popularity, online personalities tend to publish a steady stream of shocking or attention-grabbing content to take advantage of their audience’s negativity bias, that is, the natural human tendency to latch on to something bad rather than good. In a bid to ensure that their posts would become viral, they would make statements that produce heightened negative emotions, chasing after the dopamine rush brought about by the substantial increase in their followers and likes. The result is a proliferation of posts made to further their personal gain and popularity, without regard for the public good,” said the court.“Online personalities thus have a duty to verify the truthfulness of the content they put out on the internet. It behooves them to validate the source of news through fact-checking and even through source-checking, lest they unwittingly disseminate fake news and even cause real-world harm,” it added.Badoy was earlier cited in contempt at the House of Representatives for acting in a disrespectful manner and for refusing to answer relevant questions during an inquiry against Sonshine Media Network International (SMNI) to which they served as program hosts.In one of their episodes, Badoy and her co-host Jeffrey Celiz took a swipe at House Speaker Martin Romualdez for spending P1.8 billion for his travels.The claim was denied by Romualdez.Celis later admitted that such information was unverified.

(TPM/SunStar Philippines) licensed online casinos LONDON — Kate, the Princess of Wales, has cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy, she revealed Friday in a stunning announcement that followed weeks of speculation about her health and whereabouts.The princess disclosed her condition in a video message recorded Wednesday in Windsor and broadcast Friday. It came after relentless speculation on social media ever since January, when she was hospitalized for unspecified abdominal surgery.Kate asked for “time, space and privacy” while she is treated for an unspecified type of cancer that was discovered after what she described as “major” surgery.Wearing a casual striped sweater and jeans, Kate sat on a wooden bench in front of a lawn dotted with daffodils. The flowers, which bloom in early spring, are often used as a symbol of hope for people fighting cancer.“I am well," she said. "I am getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal.”Kate, 42, hadn’t been seen publicly since Christmas until video surfaced this week of her with her husband, Prince William, heir to the throne. It showed them walking from a shop that sells produce grown on the royal family's Windsor estate.The news is another jolt for the royal family since the announcement last month that King Charles III was being treated for an unspecified type of cancer that was discovered while undergoing a procedure for a benign enlarged prostate.Charles said he is “so proud of Catherine for her courage in speaking as she did,” according to a statement released by Buckingham Palace. The king, who received prostate treatment in the same hospital and at the same time Kate had her surgery, remained in the “closest contact with his beloved daughter-in-law" in the past weeks.The king and Queen Camilla “will continue to offer their love and support to the whole family through this difficult time," the palace said.Prince Harry and his wife Meghan, who have been estranged from William and Kate since their move to California in 2020, wished the princess well.“We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace," they said in a statement.Before Friday, Kensington Palace had given little detail about Kate’s condition beyond saying it wasn’t cancer-related, the surgery was successful and recuperation would keep the princess away from public duties until April. Kate said it had been thought that her condition was non-cancerous until post-surgery tests revealed the diagnosis.“This of course came as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family," she said.By choosing to speak directly to the country and the world about her condition, rather than issuing a statement through the palace, Kate offered a level of intimacy and transparency atypical of a member of the royal family and may help tamp down runaway conjecture. The king’s disclosure of his condition was also notably open by royal standards.Kate said it had taken her time to recover from the surgery before starting “preventative” treatment, which she said was in the early stages.Dr. Shivan Sivakumar, associate professor in oncology at the University of Birmingham, said it’s unclear what the princess meant by “preventative” chemotherapy but he presumed that it’s what is known as “adjuvant” chemotherapy in the medical profession.“This is chemotherapy after an operation to prevent recurrence,” he said. “This is to attempt to destroy any circulating cancer cells.”Kate said it has been “an incredibly tough couple of months” for her family. She said it had taken time to tell her three children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis in a way “appropriate for them” and reassure them she will be OK.The announcement came after the start of the Easter holidays, which will shield the children from media coverage of the news.British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said in a statement that Kate “has shown tremendous bravery.””“We are incredibly sad to hear of the news,” said White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who opened her briefing with reporters moments after news of cancer treatment broke. “We are taking this in, this terrible news, as all of you are.”Charles, 75, has withdrawn from public duties while he has cancer treatment, though he's appeared frequently in photos carrying on meetings with government officials and dignitaries and was even seen going to church.Kate, on the other hand, had been out of view instead of appearing at charity events and promoting causes such as supporting children early in life, leading to weeks of speculation and gossip. Attempts to put rumors to bed by releasing a photo of her on Mother's Day in the U.K. surrounded by her three smiling children backfired when The Associated Press and other news agencies retracted the image because it had been manipulated.Kate issued a statement the next day acknowledging she liked to “experiment with editing” and apologizing for “any confusion” the photo had caused. But that did little to quell the speculation.Even the footage published by The Sun and TMZ that appeared to show Kate and William shopping sparked a new flurry of rumor-mongering, with some armchair sleuths refusing to believe the video showed Kate at all.Earlier this week, a British privacy watchdog said it was investigating a report that staff at the private London hospital where she was treated tried to snoop on her medical records while she was a patient for abdominal surgery.The former Kate Middleton, who married William in a fairy-tale wedding in 2011, has boosted the popularity and appeal of the British monarchy worldwide more than any royal since Princess Diana.The princess is the oldest of three children brought up in a well-to-do neighborhood in Berkshire, west of London. The Middletons have no aristocratic background, and the British press often referred to Kate as a “commoner” marrying into royalty.Her brother James Middleton posted on Instagram: “Over the years, we have climbed many mountains together. As a family, we will climb this one with you too.”Kate attended the private school Marlborough College and then University of St. Andrews in Scotland, where she met William around 2001. Friends and housemates at first, their relationship became widely publicized when they were pictured together on a skiing holiday in Switzerland in 2004.Kate graduated in 2005 with a degree in art history and a budding relationship with the prince.
