Pres. Duterte Identified Iloilo's Alleged Narco-Politician as Cousin of Sen. Franklin Drilon

The tough-talking President of the Republic of the Philippines revealed during a speaking engagement in Davao de Norte that one of the alleged narco-politician from Western Visayas, Iloilo City Mayor Jed Mabilog is a cousin of Liberal Party leader and former Senate President, Sen. Franklin Drilon.


During the past few months, the former Mayor of Davao City included the Iloilo City Mayor as one of those who was included in his narco list that includes the names of hundreds of government officials from all the branches of government who are somehow involved in the illegal drug trade in the Philippines.

Although the President already mentioned the name of Mabilog on his previous expose, this is the first time that the President identified the family relationship between Mayor Jed Mabilog and Sen. Franklin Drilon. Pres. Duterte also dubbed earlier the City of Iloilo as the most "shabulized" city in the country.


During the speech of Pres. Duterte in the turnover rites of drug rehabilitation center in Davao del Norte, the President made the following statements:

“Naay mayor ug mga siyudad. Ang usa diha ig-agaw pa ni Drilon. Si Mayor Mabilog sa Iloilo City, ug daghan pa (There are city mayors. One of them is a cousin of Drilon. He is Mayor Mabilog of Iloilo City. and more),” Duterte said.

Sen. Franklin Drilon who also served previously as Justice Secretary is a member of the Liberal Party, the same party where the newly arrested Senator De Lima belong. Despite the fact that Sen. De Lima was charged in connection with her alleged involvement in the illegal drug trades some mainstream media reported that she was arrested due to her criticism against the President.

R. Tiglao Exposed LTO Records Showing Aquino Never Bought or Sold a Porsche

Veteran columnist Rigoberto Tiglao exposed the Land Transportation Office (LTO) records of former President Benigno Aquino III showing that he never bought or sold an expensive Porsche car. The LTO records proved that the former President did not sold his Porsche 911 Carrera car which he claimed he bought for P5 million. The controversial Porsche car of the former President made headlines just months into his presidency but he explained that he bought the luxury car with the proceeds he got when he sold his BMW. Because of the furor from such display of opulence, Pres. Aquino claimed to have sold it six months later for exactly the same price. According to Tiglao during that time he asked through his column the LTO to release the car's deed of sale and registration to prove that it was not a gift from a Chinese-Filipino tycoon as rumored by some individuals critical to the President. The only possible way to discover whether the Porsche luxury was indeed sold was through ...

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 ...

Tesla cloud account hacked to mine cryptocurrency

© Provided by The Hill An unidentified outside hacker infiltrated Tesla's Amazon cloud account and used its systems to quietly mine for cryptocurrencies, a cybersecurity firm announced Tuesday. The hack also potentially exposed the electric car company's data. Researchers for RedLock found that Tesla's credentials on an IT administrative console were not password protected. They made the discovery while trying to track down which organizations had left their Amazon Web Services (AWS) credentials openly exposed on the internet last month. The hackers quietly hijacked the console and began running scripts to generate virtual currency like bitcoin, the latest in a series of "cryptojacking" attacks. The researchers also found the hackers used "sophisticated evasion measures" to go undetected. A spokesperson for Tesla said the company learned about the breach in a company-sanctioned bug bounty program that pays outside hackers to discover vulnerabilitie...
