After the recently surfaced cancer rumors on Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte, he warned former Secretary of Interior and Local Governance, Mar Roxas after he found out that Philip Lustre Jr., a Public Relations Officer of Roxas, allegedly said that Mayor Duterte has throat cancer, which made Duterte furious and said "I will reveal Roxas' true colors" after the accusations that he has health concerns.

Duterte said “How can Roxas allow his PR man to write a lie?” As the presidential race starts heating up and politicians are employing every strategy they have in their arsenal, false rumors and information are spreading like wildfire in hopes of gaining advantage over political reasons. The mayor also said that if it is proven that Lustre indeed made the statement, Roxas will face certain repercussions on Duterte. “Kung mao na ang tinuod nga PR siya ni Roxas unya di siya mu-undang, then I will tell the world kung kinsa si Roxas,” Duterte said.“ Wala jud tay mahayay,”
In rough translation:
[If it is true that he is a PR (officer) of Roxas and he will not stop what he is doing, then I will tell the world who Roxas really is.] Duterte also strongly suggested that if the rumors and conspiracies against him will still continue, he warned the former DILG secretary will regret allowing his employee in spreading information against the Davao City Mayor's own will. “Mag mahay jud siya. Remember day 2 pag (Super Typhoon) Yolanda naa nako didto (Tacloban)”, Duterte said.
In rough translation:
[He will really regret it. Remember, on the second day of (Super Typhoon) Yolanda, I was already there (Tacloban).]
After receiving information that Mayor Duterte will not run for presidency because of throat cancer, Lustre posted the information on his Facebook account, which caused him to tread muddy waters on Duterte's radar. The mayor immediately cleared the air, and denied the rumors dead in it's tracks and the spread information is false and has no authenticity. He said that he is always honest in revealing his health status to Davao citizens. But lately he admitted having Buerger’s and Barrett’s disease, suffering from back pains due to a past motorcycle accident. Duterte called Lustre "mentally impotent" after not being aware that having health concerns or cancer is not a reason for disqualification in the upcoming 2016 elections.
Despite Duterte's warnings, Lustre still stands by his statement. “I stand by what I wrote in social media. I have an impeccable source, who knows the real score. The admission that he has throat cancer was not a concoction of my mind. It came from the mayor’s mouth,” Lustre said.
He then added: “It saddens me that the Mayor would not admit the actual state of his health. If he intends to run for president, he should make a full disclosure of his health situation.”

Mayor Duterte already stated that he has no throat cancer, but Lustre still fights for the statement he recently released that the mayor has indeed throat cancer. This prompted "The Punisher" to warn Roxas that if the accusations and information won't stop, Mayor Duterte vowed to reveal Mar Roxas' true colors. What do you think of Mayor Duterte's health status? Does he really have throat cancer? Or is it just one of the strategies of politicians as the race to presidency heats up?

A government official is facing heavy criticism under the microscope online by netizens after photos have been circulating online about coming to late work. Mr. Alejandro San Juan, Chief Officer of the Assessment Division, exactly arrived at 11:30 a.m. and can be seen in the images seemingly relaxing and slacking around. According to some employees, Mr. San Juan routinely arrives at work at around 12 noon, only coming to work only when there are important paper works to be done in the government. They said "maam mga tanghali pa kse dumadating si sir."

The post by Kaya Di Umuunlad ang Pilipinas Facebook page has garnered considerable attention, harnessing over a thousand likes and shares and many voiced their opinions and thoughts. Many have expressed that acts like these are the reason the Philippines isn't succeeding because of indolent and lethargic work. He can be seen with his assistant seemingly playing with his hair, and many have expressed rage and fury after seeing the controversial images. The hashtags #‎JuanTamad #‎OnlyInThePhilippines #‎BIR and #‎PasikatinNatinSiKuya have been quite a trend, and some netizens claimed that these kinds of government service shouldn't even be working in the government in the first place. Some say that every government official is shiftless and negligent when it comes to their work, while others aren't quick in pointing fingers and states that people shouldn't generalize everyone working in the government in slacking toward their work just because one employee is seen doing it.

Others have claimed that it's better not to go to work at all rather than show up late to work to just be slothful. People claim that it's just a waste of money to pay for the services of these kinds of employees who aren't doing their job rightfully. Complaints have been filed to Mr. San Juan, and now he's coming under fire after being reported. What do you think of the recently surfaced issues by government employees? Are they all lackadaisical in performing their obligations at work? Or not all of them are slouching when it comes to serving the people? Voice us your opinions and leave us a comment down below!

Establishing relationships online can certainly be tricky, especially when the two of you have yet to meet each other personally. The uncertainty is high, and chances are you'll either be ending up happy or disappointed when you first meet up with your significant other. Apparently, the latter happened when this couple met for the first time in a city in China.

They started dating online, and after spending quite some time getting to know each other on the Internet, their interest peaked and decided to finally seeing each other. But excitement quickly dispersed into disappointment and rage, as heated arguments suddenly arose with both of them accusing each other for using fake pictures in introducing themselves, which led to a mini scuffle at the place they supposedly met and was filmed by locals. Obviously let down by physical appearances, both of them fired shots at each other, trading blows while the woman says "I hit you, so what? Look at what you look like, and you're pointing fingers at me!" The man stood his ground and answered back with his own minced words, flipping his phone open to reveal the woman's picture and asks bystanders "Look at how she looks before me, and then look at this photo." Furious, the woman grabbed the phone and retaliated, saying "You (onlookers ) be the judge. Isn't this me? Isn't this me? It's you who is lying to me, you bastard!" Fuming, the man shoved the woman to the ground which was very unsightly, The video was uploaded, and you can check it out and see for yourself how the scenario unfolded.
Another case of a failed online relationship which led to anger and disappointment. Online dating has its own perks, but be very careful when on the look for love on dating sites, or you'll pretty much end up like these two going at it at the streets. What do you think of the incident? Is online dating a good idea? Let us know your thoughts and leave us a comment down below!

The crisis in Syria has caused many Syrians to flee their country and seek refuge in nearby borders such as Turkey, Jordan and Lebanon where mercy corps have been addressing their needs since the war began more than three years ago in 2012. After the full-blown civil war began in March of 2011, the ensuing war has claimed a staggering 220,000 people, many of which are claimed to be civilians. Almost more than 11 million people have been devastated an displaced, and the increasing impact caused by the mass conflict seemed too overwhelming for Syrians to stay in their country and fled for their own safety and of course, their lives.

Some Syrian refugees have fled to Hungary in search for a more stable situation, but after arriving in the country, they were greeted with a unwelcoming gesture. A Hungarian camerawoman was spotted live on camera intentionally tripping down and kicking Syrian refugees fleeing police near the country's border as she covers the ensuing conflict for a local news outlet. The actual footage is provided so you can see for yourself how the camerawoman trips off the fleeing refugees. As if the war wasn't already giving the refugees a reason to lose hope in seeing better days ahead, this camerawoman seemingly made it just worse, as it was clearly an inhumane act and inconsiderate act. Due to her intolerable conduct, she was fired last Tuesday. The camerawoman was identified as Petra Laszlo, as noted by Hungarian news website 444.hu.
Hundreds of thousands of refugees are also attempting the dangerous trip across the Mediterranean Sea from Turkey to Greece, hoping to find a better future in Europe. Not all of them make it across alive. Those who do make it to Greece still face steep challenges — resources are strained by the influx and services are minimal.The risks on the journey to the border can be as high as staying: Families walk for miles through the night to avoid being shot at by snipers or being caught by soldiers who will kidnap young men to fight for the regime. And unfortunately acts like these really don't help anyone at all. What do you think of the camerawoman's inappropriate conduct? Did she deserve to be fired?

The Highway Patrol Group has been deployed by local officials in Metro Manila to effectively control and monitor the traffic flow and of course, be on the lookout for motorists and drivers who ignore and disobey traffic rules on the road. Some motorists were apprehended in their disobedience to the traffic laws, and it seems even police authorities aren't left out in the Highway Patrol Group's visions.
A photo was uploaded by twitter user BossPapi Sanchez. The photo displays a police officer being apprehended by the Highway Patrol Group for counterflowing the traffic in EDSA and ignoring traffic rules. This bodes well for everyone knowing that the patrol group implements traffic laws to every motorist regardless of position. This is good news considering that EDSA is already known for heavy traffic, and disobedience to the road rules will get you apprehended regardless of your position. It's a fair evaluation for the Highway Patrol Group, and it's certainly a good sign of what mayor Alfredo Lim once said: "The law applies to all, otherwise none at all.

It encourages every motorist to follow traffic rules in this enlightening news. What do you think of the Highway Patrol Group? Is their service commendable in applying the rules to everyone? Let us know with your comments down below!
