MMDA: Used campaign paraphernalia donated to BJMP for recycling
Campaign materials used during Eleksyon 2025 will be donated to the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) for recycling, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) said Saturday. The used campaign material will be used for reproduction as saleable items for the benefit of Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDLs). Christian Maño of Super Radyo DZBB reported on Dobol B TV that MMDA personnel have been collecting campaign paraphernalia in Metro Manila after Eleksyon 2025. In an ambush interview, MMDA Chairman Atty. Don Artes said the agency will donate the collected materials to the BJMP for reproduction as tote bags and other profitable goods of PDLs. Earlier in the week, the MMDA reported that around 10,100 kilograms, or 11.18 tons, of campaign materials in the National Capital Region were removed on the first day of cleanup after the May 2025 midterm elections. In its report, the MMDA said 23,452 pieces of campaign materials were collected in 16 cities and one town in the region. Most of the removed campaign posters were from Manila, with 4.05 tons, followed by Muntinlupa with 1.66 tons and Districts II, V, and VI in Quezon City with 1.27 tons. --Jamil Santos/ VAL, GMA Integrated News For more Eleksyon 2025 related content and updates, visit GMA News Online's Eleksyon 2025 microsite.

Neri Naig Breaks silence after court dismisses charges
Weeks after the Pasay courts dismissed the syndicated estafa and Securities Regulation Code violation charges against her, Neri Naig has spoken out about her ordeal. In an Instagram post, Neri shared images of herself being escorted by Bureau of Jail Management and Penology personnel during her detention in November 2024. She also posted her lawyers' statement confirming the court's decision to drop the charges. 'Hindi ko talaga inakala na mapapasama ako sa Most Wanted sa Pilipinas,' she wrote on Instagram. Reflecting on the experience, Neri admitted she never imagined being labeled a fugitive. 'Tinawag akong magnanakaw, manloloko, at scammer. Never naman akong nagtago. Palagi nga akong nasa palengke, sa mga talks, at kahit saan pa—I have always been visible, hindi lang sa social media,' she said. Though she has chosen to stay silent until now, she described the experience as a nightmare she will never forget. Neri acknowledged the judgment she faced but emphasized that she refused to let anger or pain define her. She expressed gratitude to those who stood by her, calling them her 'Army of Angels' during the storm. In the comments, she also praised her husband, Chito Miranda, for his unwavering support, crediting his love for giving her hope through the darkest times. Neri's legal troubles stemmed from her past involvement with Dermacare Beyond Skin Care Solutions, a company flagged by the Securities and Exchange Commission for unauthorized investment solicitation. She had been an endorser and franchisee since 2020 but cut ties with the company in 2023.
