The PNP Chief answered politely the questioned asked by the Senator but most netizens were angry with Sen. Drilon on the way he delivered his question to the PNP Chief.

According to Sen. Drilon, one of the ally of the former President Aquino and considered as leader of Liberal Party, the Oplan Tokhang operation of the PNP is indeed alarming due to some reported data which was given to the senator.

Although the PNP Chief keeps on explaining his side, Sen. Drilon insisted that most people are now afraid with the operations of the PNP particularly their Oplan Tokhang in various exclusive subdivisions in Metro Manila.

Alipay (which handles purchases for Chinese shopping giant Alibaba) has launched what it says is the first payment system that uses facial recognition to complete the sale.

The system (Smile to Pay) is purportedly resistant to spoofing with photos and other tricks. It relies on both depth-sensing cameras and a "likeness detection algorithm" to make sure it's really you.
