Philippine Senate Shelves Impeachment of Vice President Sara Duterte

Vice President Sara Duterte of the Philippines moved one step closer to defeating the impeachment case against her on Wednesday, after the Senate voted to put on hold a trial that could have led to her removal. The Senate voted 19-4 to archive the impeachment complaint against Ms. Duterte, which had been approved by the lower house. Though the Senate can still hold a trial later, the possibility is diminishing. Last month the Supreme Court found the impeachment proceedings were unconstitutional, which influenced the Senate vote. In a statement last week, Ms. Duterte called the charges an abuse by the House. It was the latest sign that Ms. Duterte, who was impeached in February, and her party, once led by her father, former President Rodrigo Duterte, is emerging from this political storm stronger than most experts expected. In May elections, candidates endorsed by the Dutertes won more seats in both chambers of Congress. That was a show of strength for Ms. Duterte, who has made no secret of her intention to succeed President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., her former ally. In the Philippines, as in the United States, the Senate tries and convicts an official impeached by the House of Representatives. The House voted in February to impeach Ms. Duterte and accused her of misusing public funds and making threats to assassinate Mr. Marcos, his wife, and Speaker Martin Romualdez of the House. Ms. Duterte and Mr. Marcos, also the child of a former president, ran on the same ticket in 2022, winning in a landslide on the combined popularity of their two families. Their alliance quickly crumbled as the House, where allies of Mr. Marcos hold a slim majority, opened probes into the vice president's budget. The feud reached a peak in March, when the Marcos administration arrested Mr. Duterte and handed him over to the International Criminal Court to face charges of crimes against humanity for thousands of deaths during his war on drugs. Mr. Duterte is in prison awaiting trial at The Hague. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Amy Search submits Letter of Demand against Shila Amzah

7 Aug - It was revealed that Amy Search has recently sent a Letter of Demand (LOD) via his legal representative to singer Shila Amzah following the viral controversy involving both parties last month. M. Reza Hassan, who was contacted to explain the LOD, stated that Shila's legal team is aware of the matter and has requested time to take further action. "We've just sent the LOD, but they've asked for time to obtain further instructions from Shila. I can't share more for now. We'll see how things unfold," he said. The whole issue sparked after Shila lodged a police report on 10 July claiming that a legendary singer had verbally assaulted her at an event that they both attended. Shila later confirmed that the person she referred to was indeed Amy, who is also the father of actress Nabila Huda. It was reported that the conflict allegedly stemmed from Amy's dissatisfaction over Shila's involvement in his family matters, after Shila expressed her empathy for Nabila Huda, who shared her issues with her stepmother on social media. The situation escalated when Amy himself filed a police report at the Shah Alam District Police Headquarters a week later. Meanwhile, Amy has also deleted all photos and videos from his Instagram account, sparking speculation about his intention. (Photo Source: Gempak, Shila IG)

Here's how Windsor hotels are training staff to recognize signs of human trafficking

Hotel and motel staff can play a vital role in recognizing the signs of human trafficking, the chair of the Ontario Restaurant Hotel and Motel Association says. Dharmesh Patel says he's particularly encouraging Windsor owners of independent hotels who don't have access to corporate training programs on the topic to take advantage of a free course for staff and managers called Not in Our Hotel. The course teaches students to spot the signs of possible human trafficking and to safely report them, said Patel, who is also the general manager of the Quality Inn Leamington. "So if someone's adamant about paying in cash or doesn't have a bank issued credit card," he said. "Then you're also looking for things like … if you see signs of fear on the people that are with them." Staff might also notice a person bringing in guests through a side door, he said. The biggest red flag But the biggest red flag is a lot of traffic to and from one room. Windsor's status as a border city and travel hub makes it a target for traffickers, Patel added. "This is being proactive and protecting vulnerable individuals. And then for us in hospitality, it's not just about the guest's comfort anymore. It's about guest safety and … community responsibility." Just over 4,500 incidents of human trafficking were reported by police services in Canada between 2013 and 2023, according to Statistics Canada. There were 570 in 2023 alone. Ontario's rate of 2.1 incidents per 100,000 population puts it well above the national average of 1.4 per 100,000. Trafficking activity at hotels appeared to die down at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic when hotels had much stricter controls on how people came and went, Patel said. But now, he added, authorities tell him it's on the upswing again. "A lot of this happens or originates for some reason from the Montreal area coming down the 401, and then they make stops along the way," he said. "So they'll hit up different cities in smaller secondary markets as they make their way." Training staff isn't about putting them in dangerous situations, he said. It's simply about letting them know when to alert authorities about possible suspicious activity. But he said it's also about making hotel owners responsible and accountable for what they allow to happen on their properties. "If none of us rent to these people … then they don't have anywhere to go, right? And that obviously is going to help the cause," he said. "Then it's not happening here anymore, which is our ultimate goal." The executive director of Legal Assistance of Windsor said she's always happy when sectors like the hospitality industry realize they have a role in preventing human trafficking. And ongoing training is really important, Shelley Gilbert said. "The issue of trafficking really is evolving," she said. "So having ongoing conversations about what people are hearing ... so that they can be prepared is really important." Gilbert said it's critical to call police in emergency situations, but a range of strategies are needed to help victims. "We've seen other strategies where there's a particular sign up with … 'If you're in trouble, ask for Mary for instance,'" she said by way of example. But ultimately, she added, victims trying to flee traffickers need housing, income support, training, mental health and trauma support. "Most of the people that we've worked with, this is unfortunately not the first experience of violence and exploitation that they've experienced in their lives," Gilbert said. "In order to help someone to really begin healing and changing some of those things, they need the resources and support."
