Palace to VP Sara: Your trips won't solve PH problems
Malacañang on Tuesday hit back at Vice President Sara Duterte for defending her foreign travels and saying that Filipino communities abroad were supposedly frustrated with the country's state. ''Well, una siguro nga po mapu-frustrate iyong mga kababayan natin abroad dahil ang Pangulo po ay nasa Pilipinas, nagtatrabaho, inaayos iyong mga problema at lumalaban sa mga anomaly at korapsiyon. Samantalang ang Bise Presidente ay madalas na nasa personal trip,'' Palace Press Officer Undersecretary Atty. Claire Castro said in a briefing. (First of all, our kababayans will be frustrated since our President is in the Philippines working while the Vice President is mostly on personal trips.) ''At hindi po sagot ang pagbibiyahe para masolusyunan kung may problema man ang bansa. Hindi po trabaho ng Bise Presidente at wala po sa Konstitusyon na kailangan siyang magbiyahe para siraan ang Pangulo at para hilingin sa taumbayan ang pagbagsak at pagtanggal sa puwesto ng Pangulo,'' she added. (Traveling will not solve the country's problems. It's not the duty of the Vice President to travel just to criticize the President and discredit him.) GMA News Online has reached the Vice President's camp for a reaction on Castro's latest statement, but she has yet to reply as of posting time. In a recent interview, the Vice President explained why she had to go abroad in the previous months. 'Lumalabas ako ng bansa dahil frustrated na ang Filipino communities abroad sa nangyayari dito sa ating bayan. At pangalawa, bumibisita ako sa tatay ko na nakakulong,' she added. (I go outside the country because Filipino communities abroad are frustrated with what's happening in our country. Second, I'm visiting my detained father.) Edited? Meanwhile, Castro also clarified her statement as regards the information that the Vice President was supposed to go to Kuwait. She said some of the videos online were supposedly edited. ''Okay, so in other words iyong sinabi natin na wala tayong impormasyon, at may napabalita na siya ay pumunta or pupunta sa Kuwait, na-edit po iyon,'' Castro said. (In other words, our statement that we don't have any information as regards her Kuwait trip was edited.) ''So, ganiyan sila gumawa ng pekeng balita kaya nagiging paulit-ulit na source of fake news ang Bise Presidente dahil sa ganiyang mga klase na video na ini-edit—edited! Fake news again!'' she added. (That's how they create fake news, which later makes the Vice President a source of fake news. That's because of the videos being edited.) Last week, Castro said the administration had no information as to the whereabouts of the Vice President. In a press conference in New Delhi, Castro said her last authorized travel was her trip to the Netherlands and South Korea.

PLDT girds for legal battle over Konektadong Pinoy bill
The Philippines' largest integrated telecommunications company PLDT Inc. is preparing for a legal showdown should President Ferdinand Marcos "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. sign the Konektadong Pinoy bill into law. "We are hoping that it will not be signed into law by the President, but if it is signed into law then we may have to go to courts and raise the issue of the constitutionality," PLDT senior vice president, senior legal advisor to the chairman, and corporate secretary Marilyn Victorio-Aquino told reporters at the sidelines of the telco's first half 2025 financial results in Makati City on Tuesday. Under the proposed measure, new data transmission players are no longer required to secure a legislative franchise or Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN). The measure, however, has faced criticisms from some groups, including the Philippine Chamber of Telecommunications Operators (PCTO), composed of the country's leading telcos, and the Philippine Association of Private Telecommunications Companies (PAPTELCO). The PCTO had called for a review of the ratified version of the measure, citing national security concerns and weakening of regulatory oversight among new entrants in the country's connectivity service sector. The Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), for its part, defended the bill, saying it would never allow deregulation at the expense of security or public interest. Further, the DICT assured that the measure would not weaken the role of the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC). "Data transmission providers are given so [many] benefits, which are not being given to other telcos. Here they're requiring us to open all our assets—all our assets to data transmission providers without foundation that it must be essential," Victorio-Aquino said. "Data transmission providers can access our assets without any cybersecurity clearance, you create as many cybersecurity threats for us and for our subscribers. So we will have our own challenge, both Smart and PLDT, because we are affected in different ways," she said. The bill is now awaiting the signature of the President for it to become a law. It will also lapse into law on August 24, 2025 if the President will not act on it. "We were requested by the Office of the Deputy Secretary for Legal Affairs of Malacañang to comment on the bill and we sent our comment. We raised this issue of constitutionality and our position that the President should veto the bill," Aquino said. Study, reform In a separate statement, Globe Telecom urged Marcos to return the Konektadong Pinoy bill to Congress for further refinement, ensuring it fully delivers on its transformative objectives. The Ayala-led telco said that while the bill's core intent is to make internet access more affordable and universally available for all, this vision can only be achieved with a level playing field across the telecommunications industry. "We are advocating for universal access to affordable and reliable internet. But we believe this bill needs further study and reform. We hope the President understands the concerns raised by many in the industry, including respected voices and notable personalities," said Froilan Castelo, general counsel at Globe. "Our key concerns include regulatory imbalance, uneven competition, and the lack of transparency and oversight for new players,' said Castelo. — VDV, GMA Integrated News

Palace: Marcos won't oppose Cha-cha meant to fix loopholes in constitution
President Ferdinand ''Bongbong'' Marcos Jr. will not oppose calls to amend the 1987 Constitution through a constitutional convention (Con-con), provided that it will close loopholes in its provisions, according to Palace Press Officer Undersecretary Atty. Claire Castro. ''Actually po sa mga ganiyan ay malalaman din naman po natin kung ano po ang isinaad noon ng mga framers of the 1987 Constitution. May mga pagkakataon lamang po siguro kahit maliwanag ang ibang mga definition or mga terms ay minsan napapalabo para mayroong mapaboran. At sa ngayon po ay hindi pa po masasabi ng Palasyo at ng Pangulo kung ano ang magiging reaksiyon dahil hindi pa naman po nakikita ang detalye ng gagawin patungkol po dito,'' Castro said on Tuesday's briefing. (Through that, we will also know what the framers of the 1987 Constitution had stated. Sometimes the definition or terms were not clear. At present, we can't say yet what the reaction of the President as we have yet to see the details of the proposal.) ''So, kung ito naman po ay ikagaganda at ikaliliwanag para hindi na mabutasan ang anumang mga provision dito sa Constitution ay hindi naman po ito tututulan ng Pangulo,'' she added. (If this will help in closing the loopholes in the provisions of the Constitution, the President will not object to this.) Castro's statement came after Deputy Speaker Ronaldo Puno of Antipolo City has called for a constitutional convention to revise the 1987 Constitution, which he said contained certain provisions "marked by ambiguity and procedural deficiency." In a privileged speech on Monday, Puno said a Con-con was the 'most prudent, transparent and participatory mechanism' for Charter change. Under a Con-con, the electorate elects delegates who will propose amendments, which will be subject to ratification in a plebiscite. Puno cited this as among the provisions, which are supposedly vague: Article 11, Section 3.4 on the Accountability of Public Officials which states that 'In case the verified complaint or resolution of impeachment is filed by at least one-third of all the Members of the House, the same shall constitute the Articles of Impeachment, and trial by the Senate shall forthwith proceed' with the meaning of the word forthwith which he said was repeatedly delayed, sidestepped, or redefined by the Senate after more than one-third of the House impeached and sent the Articles of Impeachment against the Vice President last February 5. –NB, GMA Integrated News
