MANILA, Philippines — House Speaker Bojie Dy kicked off the plenary session on Tuesday, November 11, by pledging to prioritize a bill that would expand the powers of the Independent Commission for Infrastructure.

Two bills have already been filed in the House of Representatives and are now under deliberation by the Committee on Government Reorganization. House Bills 4453 and 5699 both aim to create the Independent Commission Against Infrastructure Corruption (ICAIC) and grant it additional powers, such as the ability to cite invited resource persons in contempt.

Recognizing that corruption in infrastructure projects has caused widespread suffering among Filipinos, he challenged his fellow lawmakers to deliver genuine reform, ensuring that promises are not merely made but actually fulfilled.

“Una, ang Independent Commission Against Infrastructure Corruption or ICAIC bill sa harap ng mga ulat ng katiwalian at ghost projects, hindi sapat ang galit. Kailangan natin ang solusyon. Ang ICI bill ay makakatulong upang mapanagot ang mga indibidwal na sangkot sa katiwalian sa flood control projects,” he said.

(First, in the face of reports on corruption and ghost projects, anger alone is not enough. We need solutions. The ICAIC bill can help hold accountable the individuals involved in corruption in flood control projects.)

Dy vowed that the measure will not be delayed, saying Filipinos have “zero tolerance for corruption,” and assured it would be passed on third and final reading before Congress adjourns in December.

The House Committee on Government Reorganization began hearings on the proposed measures on Tuesday, gathering the positions of various agencies and commissions involved in the operations of the ICI.

Several agencies, including the Office of the Ombudsman and the ICI itself, have suggested granting the commission powers beyond those provided by the executive order that established it.

These include the authority to directly file — not just recommend — the filing of complaints, cancel the registration of establishments found responsible for anomalous infrastructure projects, and automatically revoke the professional licenses of implicated officials.

Although the ICI was formed just two months ago, public demand is mounting for swift action in filing cases, conducting investigations and resolving complaints — especially as high-ranking officials, including legislators and agency heads, face scrutiny in the flood control corruption scandal that has fueled regular protests nationwide.

MANILA, Philippines — After clinching the first Final Four spot, National University marches on in a bid to secure at least a playoff for one of the two bonuses against Far Eastern University in the UAAP Season 88 men’s basketball Wednesday at the Mall of Asia Arena.

Game time is at 4:30 p.m., with the Bulldogs trying to move a step closer to the twice-to-beat incentive opposite the Tamaraws after being the first semifinalists with their ninth win last week via a 66-65 escape act from the Adamson Soaring Falcons.

University of Santo Tomas, at 2 p.m., battles the also-ran University of the East (0-11) to break free from a tie with Ateneo at No. 4, owing to similar 5-5 slates as the UAAP resumes after the postponement of games lats Sunday due to typhoon Uwan.

Ahead of UST and Ateneo are NU (9-2), titleholder UP (8-3) and La Salle (6-4), which are the only teams who could climb to 10 wins, which gives NU an inside track with another win against the dangerous FEU.

The Tamaraws are clinging just outside the Final Four picture at 4-6 along with Adamson (5-6) as the intense two-round race enters the deciding homestretch.

For head coach Jeff Napa, now’s not the time to let go of the throttle with one of its first goals already within reach for a full reversal of roles after missing the Final Four last season with a dismal 5-9 slate.

“Leveling our game coming into the last stretch is very crucial for us,” said Napa, whose wards trumped the Falcons on Mark Parks’ game-winner for their third straight win. “This will determine who and what we are going all the way to the Final Four. “

The Bulldogs have beaten all UAAP squads except for the Fighting Maroons — who beat them twice — including an easy 84-68 win over the Tamaraws in the first round.

NU, however, expects a tougher fight this time with FEU slowly but surely scaling the ranks to stay afloat in the tight Final Four race.

The Tamaraws, after a forgettable first round start, had won two of their last three games to catch up with the Falcons as well as the suddenly struggling Growling Tigers and the Blue Eagles for the desired fourth seed.

Thailand to review stiff fines in new booze law

Government spokesman acknowledges widespread confusion, especially among tourists

A Thai government committee overseeing alcohol policy will meet on Thursday to review new rules that impose harsh fines for drinking during times when sales are prohibited, government spokesman Siripong Angkasakulkiat said on Tuesday.

The amended Alcoholic Beverage Control Act, which took effect on Nov 8, says individuals can be fined 10,000 baht or more for drinking or being served alcoholic beverages during prohibited times or in prohibited places.

The new rule does not specify the times but makes reference to a government announcement issued on June 23, which reiterated that permitted sale hours are between 11am and 2pm and between 5pm and midnight. Exceptions are made for international airports, licensed entertainment venues and hotels.

The change has taken many people by surprise, as they believed the new law was going to take a more liberal approach. There was also a widespread belief that the ban on afternoon sales was going to be scrapped.

Thailand has banned most retail outlets and supermarkets from selling alcohol between the hours of 2pm and 5pm since 1972. That rule originated as a decree by a coup regime, and has finally been repealed in the new Alcoholic Beverage Control Act.

However, a Prime Minister’s Office regulation issued with the 2008 Alcoholic Beverage Control Act outlines the same prohibited sales hours and they remain unchanged in the new law.

This means that customers at regular restaurants who might order alcoholic beverages in the daytime must finish them or stop drinking before 2pm. In theory, a person could order a drink at 1.59pm but if they are still drinking it at 2.01pm, they could be fined.

“The amended rules have caused confusion among people, especially foreign tourists, who might not be familiar with such regulations,” Mr Siripong said.

He said that Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has discussed the issue with Public Health Minister Pattana Promphat, whose ministry oversees alcohol regulation.

Mr Pattana said the ministry’s alcohol policy committee would address the issue on Thursday, and clarifications should be issued by Dec 4, according to Mr Siripong.

Taopiphop Limjittrakorn, an MP from the opposition People’s Party and longtime proponent of liquor market liberalisation, said many people were concerned about the changes in the law.

The regulation could result in health issues as some people might rush their drinking, being afraid of being fined, which could lead to heavy intoxication and unexpected incidents, he said in a Facebook post on Tuesday.

To prevent this, “drinkers must be very mindful, order moderately and always keep track of time”, Mr Taopiphop said.

If the regulation proves problematic, a subordinate law could be issued to ease it, or the banned selling hours could be lifted entirely, he said.

This would depend on the prime minister and on the decisions of the alcohol policy committee, he added.

Mr Taopiphop said he and his party support 24-hour alcohol sales if they are accompanied by sufficient public education and government measures to prevent any potential problems.

Every legend has an origin, every success a backstory… Netflix brings the tale of Thailand’s renowned outlaw back to life with the latest action-drama film, Tee Yai: Born To Be Bad.

Young actor Nattawin “Apo” Wattanagitiphat takes on the role of Tee Yai, offering a never-before-seen perspective through the eyes of legendary director Nonzee Nimibutr.

The film will take the audiences back to the 70s to unveil a new side of Tee Yai’s untold story. Nimibutr, director and co-writer, revealed his inspiration for bringing back the story of the most wanted outlaw in history.

“‘Tee Yai: Born To Be Bad’ is the story of an outlaw from the past whose tales we’ve heard countless times. But this time, I want to present another angle that has never been discussed. His numerous escapes were rumoured to be due to magic, but I believe there were close allies or trusted friends who helped him, working behind the scenes and overcoming obstacles together to survive every time. Because I believe a great outlaw like Tee Yai didn’t walk this path alone. This is the new perspective I want audiences to experience,” he says.

The film tells the story of the collaboration between two sworn friends, Tee (played by Apo), an outlaw who lives as if there’s no tomorrow, and Rerk (played by Wisarut “Most” Himmarat), a calm and collected friend. Together, they make a name for themselves with their ingenious heists, becoming legends.

But their path as outlaws begins to waver when Dao (played by Supassara “Kao” Thanachat) enters Reuk’s life, making him want to retire from the game. Meanwhile, Inspector Jakarat (played by Akarin “Joke” Akaranitimaytharatt), a skilled police officer, is planning to bring them down.

Tee Yai: Born To Be Bad is packed with a quality cast including Cris Horwang, Sadanont Durongkavarojana, Patara Eksangkul and Bront Palarae, who add intensity and colour to the story, along with thrilling action sequences and a realistic retro atmosphere.

Prepare for the return of Thailand’s most influential outlaw legend with Tee Yai: Born To Be Bad, which will take you into a world of heists, chases, friendship and sacrifice.

Thailand severs defence contacts with Cambodia over landmine blast

(Photo: Pool/ Reuters)

Thailand has closed all defence channels used to contact Cambodia in the wake of the latest border landmine explosion, which injured four soldiers, Defence Minister Nattaphon Narkphanit said on Tuesday.

Gen Nattaphon said the ministry had shut down all lines of communication with its Cambodian counterpart. This included his personal contact with Cambodian defence minister Gen Tea Seiha, and future meetings of the General Border Committee (GBC).

Diplomatic channels between the two countries remained open, he said.

The decision was reached during an urgent meeting of the National Security Council (NSC) chaired by Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul after four soldiers on routine border patrol in Kantharalak district in Si Sa Ket were injured by a landmine on Monday morning.

The Royal Thai Army said it could prove the mine was freshly laid by Cambodian infiltrators, and this was a hostile act.

In the wake of the explosion, the government on Monday suspended the peace deal with Cambodia signed recently in Kuala Lumpur.

The GBC has been the main channel for negotiations between the two defence ministers since the deadly border spat erupted in July. The special GBC meeting on Aug 7 in Kuala Lumpur produced a ceasefire brokered by Malaysia, which currently chairs the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, and supported by US Pesident Trump.

Gen Nattaphon said the NSC meeting also agreed to give the armed forces decision-making authority on all operations intended to keep the border situation under control.

Bangkok’s runners are chasing more than endorphins – they’re chasing connection, visibility and a sense of control in a city that rarely slows down.

At Benjakitti Park, runners arrive before sunrise. Headlamps on, playlists loaded, watches synced. It’s not some monk-like commitment to discipline; it’s survival. Once the heat hits, Bangkok’s humidity turns every kilometre into resistance training.

For a brief window, the city softens. Footsteps replace engines. The skyline reflects off the park’s lake, and for a few quiet kilometres, Bangkok feels like it’s exhaling. Then the sun climbs, phones come out, and the uploads begin. Strava, the social fitness app that tracks workouts and lets users share them, gets flooded with neat orange lines tracing each route.

Those routes are more than data. They’re proof – evidence that the morning existed, that someone carved time out of a city that rarely gives it.

Bangkok’s running boom isn’t new, but how it’s performed is. The lone jogger has evolved into a kind of digital diarist, turning every split, heartbeat, and pace screenshot into a story. Strava’s orange interface has turned the city’s parks into living leaderboards – half exercise, half exhibition.

“Strava or it didn’t happen,” a friend says, scrolling through her feed. She isn’t joking. In the world of social running, a workout doesn’t feel real until it’s uploaded. The app’s social layer has transformed running from something private into something communal. Every run is now a post, every post a small broadcast of effort and existence.

In a city where sidewalks double as parking spots and gyms double as social clubs, running offers a kind of personal real estate. Strava gives that space a digital outline. The orange line is proof of movement, but it’s also proof of order, something Bangkok never quite manages on its own.

The city’s running scene has become its own ecosystem. There are the brand-backed crews: Adidas Runners Bangkok, On Run Club, and Asics Ride the City, whose meet-ups draw hundreds in matching singlets. Then there are the low-key groups: friends meeting at 8 p.m. outside Phrom Phong, sprinting past Sukhumvit’s standstill traffic. The run is half the ritual; the post-run meal completes it.

Strava has also redrawn Bangkok’s geography. Its heat maps glow brightest where the ground feels safe and even: Benjakitti, Lumphini, the Chao Phraya promenade. But some runners push further, over Rama VIII Bridge at dawn, around Ari’s leafy sois, through Ratchada’s still-sleepy streets.

Of course, running here is still an act of negotiation. The air can be punishing, the crossings chaotic, the humidity relentless. But that might be part of the appeal. There’s something deeply Bangkok about sprinting through discomfort. The rhythm of the city has always rewarded persistence; the ability to keep going even when the air feels thick enough to chew.

And for all the data and digital validation, most runners aren’t chasing medals. They’re chasing connection. The app’s comment section (the little orange thumbs and “Nice pace!” replies) becomes a space of low-pressure community. Office workers log pre-meeting kilometres, freelancers treat runs like therapy, weekend racers chase both personal bests and visibility. The feed is part motivation, part group chat.

Running clubs now double as social networks. People meet collaborators, partners, friends. In this way, a new kind of civic space has formed, one where you can belong without small talk, where the shared act of struggling through the heat feels like enough.

By night, Benjakitti glows again. Runners loop around the reflection pools, a quiet choreography visible from the condos above. Watches light up wrists like fireflies. Strava records everything: the stumbles, the turns, and the stubborn optimism of a city in motion.

The run isn’t over until it’s uploaded. And maybe that’s okay.

…

The pursuit of timeless beauty no longer requires surgery.

Dr. Nida’s Aging Theory 2026

From Dr. Nida’s perspective, lifting alone is no longer enough. Older technologies often lift the face at the expense of youthful fat, leaving the skin looking dry and worn out. But in the coming 2026, beauty standards have evolved it’s no longer just about a slimmer face. Now, it’s about achieving three key elements: 1. Lifted, 2. Plump, and 3. Healthy Skin.

As we age, facial structure changes due to two main causes: the Descent Effect (sagging) and the Deflation Effect (volume loss), both of which lead to facial imbalance and visible aging.

Recognizing both the growing demand and these specific issues, Dr. Nida created the 6D Signature Lunchtime Facelift a non-surgical, filler-free, downtime-free lifting program to treat both sagging and volume loss in one session, using only USFDA-cleared technologies that preserve the skin’s youthful fat and ensure safety.

The Science Behind Inside-Out Lifting

Unlike traditional facelifts that pull from the outside, the 6D Signature works from the inside out targeting every layer of the skin with three advanced technologies:

Sofwave^™ -> Lift
Fotona 6D -> Plump
Clear Lift 4D by Alma -> Healthy Skin

Each one plays a distinct role: tightening, volumizing, and rejuvenating all six dimensions of the face without needles or downtime. The treatment’s multi-layer approach ensures patients walk out with firmer skin, smoother texture, and a natural glow not an altered look.

The Three Technologies. Three Ageless Outcomes.

1. Fotona 6D: Lifting from Within

Fotona 6D rejuvenates the face through six distinct laser modes that address every layer of the skin from the oral mucosa to the surface epidermis.

Dr. Nida calls it “The Sandwich Effect,” a layered approach that lifts and restores firmness from both sides of the skin.

Each mode serves a purpose:

SmoothLiftin^™ – heats inner cheeks to firm the lower face from within.
FRAC3^® – refines texture and pores with fractional thermal stimulation.
PIANO^® – tightens deep skin layers safely, creating lasting firmness.
SupErficial^™ Micro-Peel – gives the skin a luminous “pearl finish.”
LipLase^™ – naturally plumps and defines the lips.
VectorLift^® – elevates brows and upper face, enhancing the lifting arc.

Together, these six dimensions of Fotona 6D form the base of structural rejuvenation reversing both sagging and volume loss without fillers or cutting.

2. Sofwave^™: Ultrasound Energy for True Elasticity

For patients seeking visible lift with zero downtime, Sofwave^™ provides the precision edge.

Using Superb^™ (Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam) technology, Sofwave^™ delivers ultrasound energy precisely 1.5 mm beneath the skin the ideal depth for stimulating collagen and elastin within the SMAS layer, without damaging subcutaneous fat.

The result is immediate tightening across the jawline, cheeks, brows, and neck, followed by progressive improvement over 90–120 days.

Because it preserves youthful fat, the face remains lifted yet naturally soft never hollow or stiff.

Dr. Nida notes:

“Many old-generation devices over-tighten and flatten the face. Sofwave^™ lifts while preserving volume that’s real anti-aging science.”

3. Clear Lift 4D by Alma: The Finishing Glow

To complete the transformation, Clear Lift 4D by Alma rejuvenates the skin’s surface using Q-Switched Nd:YAG fractional laser technology.

It delivers controlled photo-acoustic energy beneath the skin without ablating the surface, triggering collagen remodeling for brighter, smoother, and more even skin.

This painless treatment enhances tone and texture producing that “glass-skin clarity” patients associate with Korean beauty all within minutes.

One Face, One Design — Personalized Lifting by Nida Esth’

At Nida Esth’ International, every treatment begins with a design not a device.

Dr. Nida and Dr. Piya believe that facial rejuvenation is not about following trends, but about creating harmony unique to each individual.

Through AI-assisted facial analysis, Crisalix 3D simulation, and Vectra imaging, every face is evaluated for its own aging pattern — including fat distribution, collagen density, and skin elasticity.

Some patients may benefit most from the 6D Signature Lunchtime Facelift, focusing on inner-layer rejuvenation for lifted, plump, and radiant skin. Others may require the deeper, semi-surgical precision of Trinity Lift X, which defines the jawline and restores structural integrity from within.

And for many, the optimal solution lies in a combination of both Trinity first to sculpt and lift, followed by 6D Signature to refine and revitalize.

Lift. Plump. Healthy Skin. — The 6D Difference

Every treatment begins with 3D A.I. Facial Design, a precision mapping process that analyzes your facial symmetry, proportion, and volume deficit using advanced digital technology

This personalized analysis guides the three-step rejuvenation protocol:

Inside Firming – Fotona 6D SmoothLiftin^™ LaserOutside Lifting – Sofwave 6D Superb TechnologySkin Refinement – Alma ClearLift 4D

The result: a balanced, lifted, and radiant face — achieved in just 60 minutes.

Step-by-Step: 6D Signature Lunchtime Facelift Protocol

Step 1 — Personalized Facial Aging Mapping

High-resolution AI systems analyze skin laxity, volume loss, and wrinkle pattern to design a customized treatment map.

Step 2 — Fotona 6D Laser Rejuvenation (Deflation Target)

All six laser modes are applied to rebuild collagen density, restore contour volume, and strengthen dermal structure.

Step 3 — Sofwave^™ Ultrasound Lift (Descent Target)

Superb™ parallel beams lift sagging tissue at the SMAS depth for long-term tightening and contour correction.

Step 4 — Clear Lift 4D Finishing Touch

Photoacoustic laser pulses enhance radiance, refine pores, and smooth skin tone for the signature “6D glow.”

Step 5 — Cooling & Recovery

Mild cooling masks are applied. Patients can wear makeup and return to work immediately.

Total Time: 60–75 minutes

John Unson – Philstar.com

November 11, 2025 | 2:50pm

COTABATO CITY — The new commander of Mindanao’s largest Army division, who assumed leadership on Tuesday, November 11, will work with leaders of two former Moro secessionist fronts on community programs aimed at sustaining the gains of the national government’s Southern Mindanao peace process.

The chief of the Philippine Army, Lt. Gen. Antonio Nafarrete, officiated on Tuesday morning the assumption of Major Gen. Jose Vladimir Cagara as commander of the 6th Infantry Division at Camp Siongco in Barangay Awang in Datu Odin Sinsuat, Maguindanao del Norte, in the presence of Bangsamoro regional officials and local executives from across Maguindanao del Sur and Maguindanao del Norte provinces.

Cagara replaced Major Donald Gumiran, who was designated last month as chief of the military’s Western Mindanao Command, covering Region 9, parts of Region 12 and all the five provinces and three cities in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao.

Naferrete and Gumiran separately told reporters after the event, attended by two provincial governors, Tucao Mastura of Maguindanao del Norte and Ali Midtimbang of Maguindanao del Sur and BARMM’s chief minister, Abdulrauf Macacua, that Cagara would reach out to officials of the Bangsamoro government and leaders of the Moro National Liberation Front and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front and support their peacebuilding activities in Central Mindanao.

Macacua said the MILF will willingly complement the 6th Infantry Division’s civil-military operations by supporting essential programs. These efforts will focus on addressing security issues through multi-sector dialogues in BARMM’s Maguindanao del Norte and Maguindanao del Sur provinces, as well as in the regional capital, Cotabato City.

“Community dialogues to promote interfaith and cultural solidarity among all communities in these two provinces and in Cotabato City are the best means of maintaining law and order in these areas,” Macacua, who is chief of the MILF’s Bangsamoro Islamic Armed Forces, said.

The chairman of the MNLF’s central committee, BARMM Labor and Employment Minister Muslimin Sema, said all of their members in Central Mindanao shall help implement all peace and security programs of the 6th ID, with Cagara at its helm.

“We have a peace agreement with the national government that compels us to do so,” Sema said.

Cagara said he would also seek the support of all local executives in restoring normalcy in areas cleared by the 6th ID, the police and local government units of the now-defunct allies Dawlah Islamiya and Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters. Both groups have been implicated in all deadly bombings in Central Mindanao over the past 10 years and are known for fomenting hatred against non-Muslims.

YouTube has announced a major update for its smart TV application aimed at elevating video quality and the overall viewing experience.

Central to this overhaul is the “Super Resolution” feature, an AI-powered system designed to upscale lower-resolution videos, specifically those at 240 pixels and 480p, to High Definition (HD) or 1080p quality. Furthermore, the platform has plans to extend support for this upscaling capability to 4K resolution in the future.

This system operates automatically via artificial intelligence (AI). However, YouTube has assured users that it will retain the original source files and the initial, lower resolution options, allowing users to select their preferred setting as needed. For content creators, there will be the option to disable the Super Resolution feature, as well as an automatic audio adjustment system, for those who prefer YouTube not to directly manage their content processing. The system is currently undergoing testing with a select group of creators before its official public rollout.

Beyond the visual enhancements, YouTube is also increasing the file size limit for video thumbnails from the previous maximum of 2 megabytes to 50 MB. This change is intended to accommodate high-resolution images, including those suited for 4K displays. Additionally, the platform has begun testing the upload of larger video files to support high-quality content comparable to that offered by major streaming services.

On the user experience front, YouTube is introducing Immersive Previews, a feature similar to the preview system found on Netflix. This will allow users to scroll through short previews of videos from their favourite channels directly on the home screen, aiding in their viewing selection decisions. The Contextual Search system is also being refined to prioritise results from channels the user has previously searched, aiming to streamline the discovery process.

Moreover, YouTube is preparing to launch a new tool allowing viewers to scan a quick response (QR) Code displayed within a video to navigate directly to a product page where they can complete a purchase. This initiative is designed to generate additional revenue streams for creators, particularly those focused on product reviews, a segment that collectively garnered over 35 billion viewing hours last year.

Kurt Wilms, Senior Director of Product at YouTube, said that this series of updates reflects the continuous growth trend of YouTube viewership on televisions, which has surpassed mobile viewership in several regions. He framed the investment as crucial for perfecting the viewing experience on large screens, enhancing quality, convenience and entertainment value to an unprecedented degree.

MANILA, Philippines — Following a record low, the Palace remained optimistic that the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) will improve in the last quarter of 2025.

The country’s GDP slowed to 4.0% in the third quarter — the lowest since the COVID-19 pandemic. The Department of Economy, Planning, and Development (DEPDev) had affirmed that the economic drag was due to the ongoing flood control corruption scandals.

Citing the Department of Budget and Management, Palace Press Officer Claire Castro said that the holiday season will spur on spending, as well as a growth in exports.

Castro said that there will also be an increase in government spending, especially with the P1.307 trillion worth of programmed funds that is set to be released to various government agencies in the final quarter of the year.

The 1.307 trillion will be divided accordingly for disaster response, social welfare, education and more.

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has ordered the proper use of these funds, Castro said.

“This will help the business sector see that the government is spending money correctly, and this would boost the economy, consumption, and investments,” Castro said in Filipino.

Asked if the country can still hit its economic growth target for the year despite the corruption woes and the back to back typhoons, Castro said that the Palace was optimistic.

“The belief is there. We will be able to do this,” Castro said.

The government’s target for annual GDP growth is at least 5.5%.

Should the Marcos administration fail to hit its annual growth target, it will be the third year in a row that the government missed its goals.

DEPDev Arsenio Baliscan had noted that the government must improve the way it spent money, especially amid the massive corruption scandal. The drag in the GDP was exacerbated by the slowdown in public construction, with the Department of Public Works and Highways suspending dozens of projects during the corruption probe.

Consumer confidence has also been impacted by the flood control probes, with many people opting to postpone purchasing goods.
