Everyone treats them as the modern day heroes for helping our economy grow. And this is the main reason why politicians love OFWs.<br /><br />Based on data, there are at least 1.5 Million OFWs who are eligible to vote remotely. That number matters a lot for every presidential down to senatorial candidates. Aside from that number, they are also looking after the influence that our fellow compatriots can give to the entire nation.<br /><br /><b>-Joey Boy Capos, The Summit Express</b></div>

NAIA invites "world's worst airport" title anew - Miriam

Meralco has meanwhile denied a power outage.<br /><br />Santiago, for her part, said that the NAIA must have uninterrupted power supply. "Assuming for the sake of argument that the Meralco line tripped, where were the generators? The explanation that they were not working is unacceptable," she added.<br /><br />The infrastructure agenda Santiago posted on her website includes the development of a modern international airport. The NAIA runway design, she said, is one of the main factors for congestion.<br /><br />"The runways are perpendicular to each other, barring planes from using one runway when the other is in use. If NAIA will be expanded, we must build runways parallel to each other," the senator said.<br /><br />"In the meantime, it would be wise to reallocate some flights to the airport in Clark, which is currently underutilized. Clark Airport should complement and not necessarily replace NAIA," she added.</div>

As of the moment, only the courier management knows. If the courier remains mum on this issue, their clients will keep on wondering and might look for other courier companies to serve them in order to protect their valuables and money.<br /><br />There’s no such thing as easy money. Every thing “is” and “must” be hard-earned. So let’s be wise and vigilant. Ask for company IDs if possible and call your courier or Police Stations should suspicisions arise.<br /><br />It’s safe to be ready than sorry.<br /><br />Just a public reminder from The Summit Express.<br /><br /><b>-Joey Boy Capos, The Summit Express</b></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">MANILA, Philippines- A video of North Cotabato governor Emmylou "Lala" Taliño Mendoza  warning politicians planning to donate rice to drought-hit Kidapawan City farmers is making rounds on social media.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a rel='nofollow' href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRaXb3uH2vIM531NwxBFapwX31_YqyXjbLu5VpNTEJEucSF2GLudjEUswvsbyOPEHFAozgYi_6f-PocSnyfCJeYVz4LkuC2DOTpSKIi78T1iaPSAhBAzV2IEvwFVd9mDD-EqgiiZTVfTLI/s1600/kidapawan-north-cotabato-governor.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="North Cotabato governor slams politicians planning to donate rice to Kidapawan farmers" border="0" height="380" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRaXb3uH2vIM531NwxBFapwX31_YqyXjbLu5VpNTEJEucSF2GLudjEUswvsbyOPEHFAozgYi_6f-PocSnyfCJeYVz4LkuC2DOTpSKIi78T1iaPSAhBAzV2IEvwFVd9mDD-EqgiiZTVfTLI/s640/kidapawan-north-cotabato-governor.jpg" title="North Cotabato governor slams politicians planning to donate rice to Kidapawan farmers" width="560" /></a></div><br />In the short video clip, Mendoza was heard telling the media: "Bigla kayong darating, magbibigay ng bigas? Nang-i-insulto ba kayo o namumulitiko kayo?”<br /><br />(You’ll suddenly arrive to give rice. Is that an insult or are you politicking?)<br /><br />Mendoza also cautioned politicians not to use North Cotabato as their staging ground for propaganda in order to get support from the international community and collect money.<br /><br />Watch the video.<br /><br /><center><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/LsYeSi847Fg" width="560"></iframe></center><br />According to reports, Mendoza was pertaining to the camp of presidential aspirant and Davao City Mayor Rodrigo “Digong” Duterte who have gathered 30 sacks of rice for the hungry farmers of Kidapawan City. <br /><br />However, Duterte Presidential Campaign Team head Peter Laviña clarified that Duterte advised them not to meddle with the ongoing problem in Cotabato. He also alleged Mendoza of not performing her duties. <br /><br />"We do not have intentions to interfere with the trouble there but there is a problem, people are getting harassed so we have to help,” Laviña said.<br /><br />About 5,000 farmers coming from different parts of North Cotabato province held a protest  on Wednesday, March 30 to demand government assistance after their farms were hit by the El Niño. Portions of the Cotabato-Davao Highway were blocked during the protest.<br /><br />But instead of getting calamity fund and rice provision, the protest turned into a violent dispersal between policemen and the farmers. The clash resulted into the death of three protesters while 116 others were injured. A farmer reportedly died on the spot during the encounter.<br /><br />According to Apo Sandawa Lumadnong Panaghiusa sa Cotabato leader Norma Capuyan, the police, who were trying to protect the National Food Authority provincial office from the protesters, were trying to disperse them using water cannons. However, when the farmers stood their ground, the police began firing.<br /><br />In an interview with ANC, Mendoza insisted that the police officers had exercised maximum tolerance during the protests.<br /><br />Meanwhile, actor and known Duterte supporter Robin Padilla donated 200 sacks of rice to the farmers. Expressing his disgust over the incident, wrote on the caption of his Instagram post: "Ang mga magsasaka ng Inangbayan Pilipinas pinagbabaril sa kanilang mapayapang paghingi ng tulong sa kanilang gobyerno.”<br /><br />(The farmers of our motherland Philippines were shot during their peaceful protest to the government.) <b>-Mini, The Summit Express</b></div>
