Arrest Warrant for Edgar Matobato Issued in Connection with the 2002 Kidnapping of Sali Muck Doom

Self-confessed Davao Death Squad member Edgar Matobato is now facing a new case filed against him by the National Bureau of Invesitgation (NBI) after a local court in Davao del Norte issues an arrest warrant in connection with the kidnapping of alleged terrorist Sali Muck Doom.


In a news report posted by dzBB, Judge Dorothy Gonzaga of the Panabo City Regional Trial Court 11th Judicial Branch 4 issued the arrest warrant of Edgar Matobato on Monday.

Aside from Edgar Matobato who was earlier released from jail a few hours after he surrendered when he posted a bail worth P200,000, an arrest warrant was also issued to co-accused, Sonny Custodio.

Based upon the arrest warrant issued by Judge Gonzaga the latest case filed against Edgar Matobato is non-bailable. Matobato's case was filed by the National Bureau of Investigation's Regional Office in Davao Region last January.

According to Matobato's camp the arrest order caught them by surprise, the lawyer of the self-confessed Duterte Death Squad member, lawyer Jude Sabio said they had recently filed a third supplemental motion to quash the information and to put on hold the issuance of warrant of arrest.

Edgar Matobato admitted during a Senate Hearing that he was one of those who was responsible for the alleged kidnapping of Sali Muck Doom.

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...
