  10. " More than 300,000 Filipinos could be deported in Trump immigrant crackdown " More than 300,000 Filipinos living illegally in the United States could face deportation, Manila’s special envoy to the USA has claimed. The claim comes just days after President Duterte said he “would not lift a finger” to help any of his countrymen who were breaking US immigration laws. Special envoy Babe Romualdez said: “I received information from our friends in Washington, that there’s a list from, I think, homeland security that there are about 310,000 Filipinos up for deportation,” he told CNN Philippines. “These are mostly undocumented Filipinos that they are able to identify,” he added. The Philippines is not part of Trump’s executive order that recently banned citizens from seven mainly muslim countries from entering America. However, Mr Romualdez warned warned that Filipinos could be affected as authorities step up efforts to deport illegal immigrants as part of efforts to secure America’s borders. He suggested that any compatriots in the US illegally should start thinking carefully about returning to the Philippines. “I think they should really be prepared to go home,” he said. The Department of Foreign Affairs has recently confirmed that out of 3.4 million Filipinos in the US, just under ten per cent are undocumented. The National Alliance for Filipino Concerns (NAFCON) has been vocal in protests in both California and New York against Trump’s immigration policies. Aurora David, Secretary General, believes the threat to undocumented Filipinos is very real. In a campaign speech last August, she says, Trump named the Philippines as being among “terrorist nations” whose citizens could be banned from the US. (See our report here.) NAFCON claims that up to one million Filipinos could be affected by Trump’s policies. “Trump has used anti-immigration words and sentiments and scapegoated immigrants for what’s happening in the US,” she said. Earlier this week, President Duterte said that if any of his compatriots were in the US illegally, that was solely their own problem. “To Filipinos in the US, you better be on the right track,” he said at a press briefing on Monday. “If you are not allowed to stay there where you are staying, get out because if you are caught and deported, I will not lift a finger. You know that it is a violation of the law. “If he has policies to protect his country, I will understand. So, out of respect, I will not interfere.” Sung Kim, US Ambassador to the Philippines, insisted that Trump’s order wasn’t driven by racism or islamophobia. “This is not racism. This is not unfair prejudice,” Kim said, speaking at a gathering of businesspeople in Manila. “How do you remain as open as possible, but at the same time make sure that you do everything possible to make the environment safe for your citizens?” He hoped the next few days would reveal “better clarity regarding the exact parameters of the executive order”. Kim also said he understood that many would be worried about travelling to the US. “I understand, all of you are worried about visas. “I want to emphasise that, despite many rumours out there, we continue to welcome Filipino visa applicants.”
  11. Looks like what we saw was just a show , now come the real , " BANG " " Health alert as Mount Mayon spews huge plume of ash " Mount Mayon has sent a huge plume of ash and steam 10 kilometres into the sky, prompting respiratory health warnings. The alert level has been raised to four, on a scale of five, meaning that an explosive eruption is possible within hours or days. The noontime explosion today (Monday, January 22) sent superheated lava, molten rocks and steam cascading down Mount Mayon’s slopes and shrouded nearby villages in darkness, said Renato Solidum, chief of the Philippine Institute of Seismology and Volcanology (Phivolcs). The danger zone around the volcano has now been was extended to eight kilometres (five miles) from the crater. “If the eruption is vertical, it’s possible pyroclastic flows or pyroclastic density currents may cascade down in all directions,” Mr Solidum said. More than 27,000 villagers have fled since Mayon started looking restless on January 14. Philippine Red Cross Chairman Richard Gordon has urged people near the volcano to wear face masks and remain alert for other health hazards. He said: “We urge the affected individuals to wear dust masks or anything to cover their nose and mouth to protect themselves from catching harmful emissions from the volcanic ash. “We also advise the residents to report immediately to their local health centres and nearest Red Cross chapter in case of health concerns from volcanic ash.” Exposure to falling ash can cause a variety of respiratory problems such as nose and throat irritation, coughing, bronchitis-like illness, and discomfort while breathing. Eye irritation and minor skin problems are also among the possible effects of exposure. According to the Department of Health in Bicol, 516 evacuees have already been diagnosed with respiratory tract infection. They are all said to be stable condition. Classes were suspended in all levels in Albay today and Legazpi Airport has been closed. Mount Mayon has erupted about 50 times in the last 500 years, sometimes violently. In 2013, an ash eruption killed five climbers who had ventured near the summit despite warnings. Mayon’s first recorded eruption was in 1616 and the most destructive, in 1814, killed 1,200 people and buried the town of Cagsawa in volcanic mud. The Philippines lies in the so-called “Ring of Fire,” a line of seismic faults surrounding the Pacific Ocean where earthquakes and volcanic activity are common. In 1991, Mount Pinatubo, near Angeles City, exploded in one of the biggest volcanic eruptions of the 20th century, killing about 800 people.

  13. Duterte changes tune anew, says he supports same-sex marriage Reversing his stance, Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte expressed his support for the legalization of same-sex marriage in the country. Speaking before the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community in Davao City  on Sunday, December 17, Duterte suggested the possibility of legalizing the union between same sexes in the Philippines, as the current law provides that marriage is only between man and woman. “Ako gusto ko (I want) same-sex marriage. Ang problema we’ll have to change the law. But we can change the law. Eh ang batas kasi  (Because our law states that) marriage is a union between a man and a woman,” Duterte said in his speech. As stated by the Executive Order (E.O.) 209, marriage is “a special contract of permanent union between a man and a woman entered into in accordance with law for the establishment of conjugal and family life.” But the president expressed that he does not have “any problems making it marrying a man, marrying a woman or whatever is the predilection of the human being.” He continued, “If that is the trend of the modern times, if that will add to your happiness, I am for it. Who am I?” The president also assured the LGBT community in the country that he will not tolerate discrimination against all sectors of society. In the same speech, Duterte likewise said he is willing to appoint members of the LGBT community to his Cabinet, giving them until the second week of January to choose their nominee. “Now find me the brightest dito sa Pilipinas (here in the Philippines). Bigyan ninyo ako ng bright na tao (Give me a bright person). He might be gay, he might be lesbian. I’d like to nominate or appoint somebody upon the nomination,” Duterte said. He added, “You nominate the representative from the LGBT sector kasi (because) I fired the entire [Presidential] Commission for the Urban Poor (PCUP), the head for traveling so much in so short a time, as if he was using the money of the people like his own.” Earlier this month, the president had fired all the commissioners of the PCUP, headed by its former chairman Terry Ridon, because of their alleged unnecessary trips and supposed failure to hold meetings. It is not clear, however, which government body Duterte was referring to when he made the remark about appointing a member of the LGBT community to his Cabinet. “I’d like a gay there somewhere or a lesbian… You nominate somebody who is honest, hardworking. And I would like to show that any, any ma-bakla man o ma-tomboy (gay or lesbian) can—well, can always work just like an ordinary human being,” Duterte said. During his taped TV appearance on “Gandang Gabi Vice” in 2015, Duterte told gay television host Vice Ganda that same-sex marriage is “good,” adding “everyone deserves to be guaranteed happy.” But in his speech before the Filipino community in Myanmar earlier in March this year, Duterte insisted that marriage in the predominantly Catholic Philippines is between a man and a woman. He clarified, however, that he respects the lifestyle of the people in the LGBT community, sharing that some members of his extended family are gay. Following Duterte’s recent bid to legalize same sex marriage, some Catholic Church leaders in the country reiterated their stance against it. In a statement, Sorsogon Bishop Arturo Bastes maintained that the Catholic Church will never approve the union between same sexes. He also called on the Filipinos to never allow its legalization. “The trivialization of marriage is one of the fundamental reasons [for] the breakdown of individuals and human society,” Bastes said. In a separate statement, the Philippine Council of Evangelical Churches (PCEC) also voiced its objection as it noted that such union was against the central teachings of both Christianity and Islam. “Union between the same sex, for instance, directly contradicts a central teaching of Islam and Christianity—that marriage is only between a man and a woman,” the PCEC said.
