San Agustin Church in Intramuros flooded amid Habagat rains
Floods hit the San Agustin Church in Intramuros, Manila on Wednesday amid the heavy rains from the Southwest Monsoon or Habagat, according to Mayor Isko Moreno. 'Pinuntahan natin ang iniulat na pagbaha sa loob ng San Agustin Church sa Intramuros matapos itong pasukin ng tubig dulot ng walang tigil na pag-ulan,' Moreno said in the caption of a Facebook livestream. (We went to San Agustin Church in Intramuros after floodwater entered the building due to incessant rain.) Moreno said the city government sent a water pump and personnel from its Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office to extract the floodwater. In 1993, the San Agustin Church was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site as one of only four baroque churches in the Philippines. More than 400 years old, the San Agustin Church is the oldest stone church in the country. It also houses a museum, where Juan Luna's tombstone could be found. — Joviland Rita/LA, GMA Integrated News

Bernie Moreno stops at Pataskala diner to sell ‘Big, Beautiful Bill' to Ohioans
PATASKALA, Ohio (WCMH) — Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio) is on a mission to sell the 'Big, Beautiful Bill' to the people of Ohio — and people across the country. Moreno was selling it on Friday at Patrons at a diner in Pataskala, where he talked about how the bill will help the people who work there. NBC4's Colleen Marshall talked to Moreno outside of the diner. Moreno came to the Nutcracker in Pataskala where servers will no longer have to pay taxes on their tips and overtime. Moreno said there are also tax breaks for the owner. Moreno said everyone should be celebrating the bill, despite what critics are saying. 'I am now the chief salesperson,' Moreno said. 'I am no longer a U.S. Senator. I am the chief salesperson for the 'One Big, Beautiful Bill.'' Moreno said much of his sales pitch will be to correct what he calls misinformation on everything from tax breaks for billionaires to sweeping ICE raids that go beyond violent criminals. 'This bill — look, if you ask the average normal American 'do you like it,' they'll say 'no, I don't like it,'' Moreno said. 'Then you say 'well how about all these elements?' 'Oh yeah, I love that,' so they love what's in it. They just don't like the bill.' The senator said Democrats on Capitol Hill lie to the public and the media reports the lies. 'Chuck Schumer says that we are going to cut Medicaid, Social Security. Not true,' Moreno said. 'None of that's true. It's cruel, Colleen. It's cruel to tell people who rely on these programs, because there are people out there trying to take them away. Objectively, it's not true.' Moreno said the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office also got it wrong when it said the big, beautiful bill would add hundreds of billions of dollars to the national deficit. 'The new CBO score is that it's going to lower the deficit by about $400 billion over a 10-year window,' he said. He also said it was wrong about Medicaid cuts. 'Here's the good news about Medicaid. Ohio will receive more Medicaid funding then in any time in Ohio history,' he said. At the exact time Moreno was being a cheerleader for the bill, Sen. Adam Schiff (D-California) was posting his floor speech to X, detailing what he calls the 10 ways the bill is wrecking the country. He said it cuts Social Security and Medicaid. Even though the bill is now law, both sides have a very different vision of what it means for the country. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Notre Dame loses its starting shortstop, Estevan Moreno, to the Major League Draft
Many wondered if Notre Dame baseball's starting shortstop Estevan Moreno would get drafted, and while he had to wait until the No. 20 round before the Seattle Mariners took him off the board. The 6-foot, 3-inch and 215-pound middle infielder still had one year of eligibility remaining, but has told Matt Freeman of Irish Sports Daily that he will start his professional career. The Mariners have plenty of good prospects, and more than a few of them play the same position as Moreno. It's probably not where he wanted to be selected, during the final round, but the Illinois native decided that playing in the minor leagues is one step closer to his ultimate goal, playing in the major leagues. Moreno didn't have his best season with the Irish this spring, but did drive in a career high 43-runs. During his three years in South Bend, the shortstop hit .236 with 30 homers, 107 RBI, and scored 113 runs. We wish Estevan the best as his starts his professional baseball career.

New Orleans voters face crowded field for mayor, council
The ballots are set, and candidates for New Orleans mayor and City Council now have three months to convince voters why they should be in charge. Why it matters: This fall's election could transform City Hall, putting new leaders in charge of solving the city's most stubborn problems — infrastructure failures, housing costs, public safety concerns and general quality of life challenges. The big picture: Mayor LaToya Cantrell is term-limited and leaves office in January 2026. Her second term has been plagued with scandal and political infighting with the City Council. Her troubles have been a common thread for the candidates so far, with their platforms focusing on fixing what they say is broken. The latest: Two City Council members — Helena Moreno and Oliver Thomas — are vying for Cantrell's job and making space for others to compete for their council spots. State Sen. Royce Duplessis and former criminal court judge Arthur Hunter are also running for mayor — positioning themselves as experienced public servants who weren't involved in creating the city's current mess. Eileen Carter made a surprise entry into the race last week. She's Cantrell's former staffer who helped spearhead the failed recall effort, the Times-Picayune says. Several other long shots are also running in the field of 14 candidates, including Frank Scurlock, who previously ran on a "Make New Orleans Fun Again" slogan but got derailed with a lewd conduct accusation during the campaign. Between the lines: New Orleans has been a Democratic-run city for decades. While Republicans have run for mayor recently, they haven't been successful. Frank Janusa and Gabrielle Thomas qualified to run on the Republican ticket, writes James Finn at the Times-Picayune. Le Bon Temps Roule owner Joe Bikulege Jr., Ricky Twiggs and comedian and perennial candidate Manny Chevrolet Bruno are running as independents. Carter, Renada Collins, Russell Butler and Scurlock are "no party" candidates. The rest are Democrats. By the numbers: Moreno was leading in fundraising as of April. New campaign finance reports are expected this month. Council races heat up Meanwhile, City Council seats are going to be hotly contested, with Thomas', Moreno's and Joe Giarrusso's spots now open. Giarrusso previously said he's leaving the council to focus on his law career. See the map of the districts. Zoom in: Cyndi Nguyen and Jon D. Johnson, who both held the council seat in New Orleans East and the Lower 9th Ward (District E) before Thomas, will face off with state Rep. Jason Hughes and eight others for their old job, the Times-Picayune says. State Reps. Delisha Boyd and Matthew Willard are among the challengers for Moreno's at-large seat. Holly Friedman and Aimee McCarron — both former Giarrusso staffers — are two of the candidates going after his District A seat, which represents Lakeview and parts of Uptown and Mid-City. Zoom out: JP Morrell, Freddie King III and Eugene Green have challengers, too. Kelsey Foster, the longtime executive director of the Algiers Economic Development Foundation, wants King's District C seat, which represents downtown, Algiers, Bywater and the Marigny. Belden "Noonie Man" Batiste, who also led the mayoral recall campaign, is going after Green's spot. The Rev. Gregory Manning of Broadmoor Community Church and Kenneth Cutno are challenging Morrell. Lesli Harris is running unopposed. What's next: The primary is Oct. 11, followed by the general election in November. Go deeper
