According to Atty. Trixie Cruz-Angeles the former Justice Secretary Leila De Lima could be investigated after the alleged drug lord Kerwin Espinosa testified that Ronnie Dayan received money from Espinosa.

Ronnie Dayan allegedly received money as the bagman of Sen. De Lima and the statements of Espinosa have already implicated the senator and confirmed her involvement with illegal drugs.

According to Atty. Angeles, as mentioned on Republic Act 3019 or the Anti Graft and Corrupt Practices Act which states that public officials should not accept bribes or gifts.

The lawyer was quoted as saying "Ang impormasyong ito ay maaaring magamit na ng DOJ upang mabuksan ang bank records ni Senadora De Lima at magbigay ng karagdagang ebidensya sa kanyang fund-raising operations," she said, in answer to the witness' statements.

Here's the Complete Statement of Atty. Trixie Cruz-Angeles:

Ayon sa Republic Act 3019 o ang Anti Graft and Corrupt Practises Act, mahahantungan ng kaso ang isang opisyal na humingi ng regalo, o pera sa isang tao o mga taong may activity kung saan kakailanganin mag intervene and opisina ng nasabing opisyal. (RA 3019 Sec. 3b) 

Sa narinig natin, ayon kay Kerwin Espinosa, hiningan sya o nagbigay sya ng pera sa dating Kalihim ng DOJ. Si Espinosa ay isang drug lord, na nangangalakal ng illegal na droga. And DOJ ang nagiimbestiga ng mga krimen na ito. Ang pagbigay ni Espinosa ng kabayaran ay na kumpirma na ni Ronnie Dayan. 

Ang impormasyong ito ay maaaring magamit na ng DOJ upang mabuksan ang bank records ni Senadora Delima at magbigay ng karagdagang ebidensya sa kanyang fund-raising operation.
Kung ating tatandaan, ayon sa mga witness sa Kongreso, ang pag benta ng illegal na droga na kinasangkutan diumano ng dating Kalihim ay upang mag likom ng pera para makatakbo sya sa senado. 

Maaari ring masampahan ng violation ng Ombibus Election Code ang senadora at ang Partido Liberal dahil sa di makatotohanang pag report ng campaign contributions. Kung mahatulan ay maaaring ma disqualify ang senadora at di na makakatakbong muli sa anumang posisyon sa gobyerno.
Tumatambak na ang ebidensya at ang mga kaso.

DOF opposes tiered approach to tax on sugary drinks

© Provided by Mediamerge Corporation MONEY- Tax thumbnail The Department of Finance (DOF) is not amenable to Senator Juan Edgardo Angara's suggestion to implement the proposed levy on sugar sweetened beverages via a three-tier system. "We oppose the tiered approach. Meaning 'yung first seven grams will be tax free and then after that would be taxable," Finance Undersecretary Karl Chua said during the Economic Journalists Association of the Philippines (EJAP) Economic Forum in Manila on Friday. Chua note the tiered approach may compel manufacturers to come up with smaller packaging. "So you can drink three of them with no taxes," the Finance official said. It will defeat the purpose of imposing excise tax on sugary drinks as a health measure, he added. During deliberations on the comprehensive tax reform bill, Angara floated the idea of implementing the excise tax on sugar sweetened beverages under a three-tier system to incentivize those who manufactu...

You can pay at a restaurant by smiling at a camera

© Provided by Engadget As easy as it is to make purchases in the era of tap-to-pay services , it's about to get easier still. 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. If you visit one of KFC's KPRO restaurants in Hangzhou, China, you can pay for your panini or salad by smiling at a camera-equipped kiosk -- you need to verify the purchase on your phone, but you don't have to punch in digits or bring your phone up to an NFC reader. 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. Reportedly, the technology is good enough that it can accurately identify people even when they're disguising themselves through makeup or wigs. You shouldn't have to worry about someone buying ...
