Philippine police forces have arrested 18 Chinese nationals in four separate busts since the start of the year on espionage charges, including five who were detained for allegedly spying on U.S The Armed Forces of the Philippines has also advised its forces to be prepared for the possibility of a Chinese invasion of Taiwan. If this occurred, AFP troops would be needed for an evacuation of Philippine overseas workers: an estimated 250,000 Filipinos are employed in the Taiwanese economy, and would have to be brought back to safety across the Strait of Luzon.  © Copyright 2025 The Maritime Executive, LLC.

The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) continues to shadow Chinese Coast Guard (CCG) fleet 5901 also known as ‘The Monster,’ as it lingers in the high seas within Manila’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ) as of Tuesday morning PCG spokesman Commodore Jay Tarriela said BRP Cabra (MRRV-4409) maintained its vigilant monitoring of the foreign vessel as it entered its third consecutive day of illegal presence in Philippine waters “Observations reveal that the CCG vessel’s erratic movements indicate it is not engaged in innocent passage but rather asserts that it is conducting a law enforcement operation claiming jurisdiction over these waters as belonging to the People’s Republic of China,” Tarriela said the crew of BRP Cabra remained steadfast in challenging this assertion diligently tailing and shadowing CCG-5901 to uphold Philippine sovereign rights “This unwavering commitment reflects the guidance of Commandant Admiral Ronnie Gil Gavan emphasizing the importance of persistently confronting the illegal presence of the People’s Republic of China and ensuring the safety and security of Filipino fishermen operating in the area,” he added © All Rights Reserved. 2025 | Manila Standard | Developed by Neitiviti Studios fanatical about order in her daily routine Her brain works at a thousand miles per hour and But only at first –when you discover her multiple facets you become a fan and then you understand that there hides a person who is never frivolous A family drama led her to change forever her priorities And although you might find her in the middle of a melon patch wearing a giant straw hat and a wide smile you wouldn’t imagine that she had to take several painkillers that day to cope with the pain derived from a complicated spinal operation we met at the office in order to go to her house In the 200 metres that separate her two ‘homes’ It is just like walking down the aisles of Fruit Attraction with her as is the office… Would you define this as a virtue or a mania I have been told you even clean your plants but my house gets lots of sunlight and that helps with just enough money and alone (42 years ago I travelled around 8 European countries on an Interail card although it also had a dark side to it as I was nearly sexually assaulted by an Iranian in Amsterdam Perhaps that is why I married a geographer My husband was a Geography Professor at the University of Valencia before he retired;

As a former data journalist, let me give you some stats: studies have shown that managers have as much of an impact on people's mental health as their spouses it’s important to acknowledge that you do have a big responsibility.  And part of your responsibility as a leader is to recognise the signs when your team members are not doing well.    Take the time to notice if someone’s usual behaviour is shifting in some way – whether they are withdrawing from work It’s also important to remember that burnout is typically misidentified as underperformance Look out for these signs by checking in regularly I truly believe that one of the key skills a manager needs to have is basic mental health literacy.   What responsibility do news organisations have in addressing and mitigating burnout among their employees?    A crucial thing to remember is that burnout is not an individual capacity issue this person just couldn't cope” or “What's wrong with me Why did I burn out and not my other colleagues?”   The reality is that all organisations have a duty of care towards their employees – and not doing anything until it is too late is not duty of care There are preventative steps that can and should happen at an organisational level including providing staff with adequate mental health training as well as access to mental health resources The responsibility shouldn’t rest only on the manager.    You’ve often talked about how newsroom managers must also protect their own mental health What tips do you have for managers seeking to draw boundaries for themselves while also looking out for their team There is definitely a tendency for some newsroom leaders to protect their teams but forget to protect themselves It’s no coincidence that managers – and especially middle managers – are among the first ones to burn out because there is often a “sandwich effect,” where they are being squeezed for time and energy by the top leaders and squeezed by their team as well.    remember: you are as important as the team and you can’t be switched ‘on’ all the time and available for everyone at any moment.    And one of the best ways to ensure that is to very intentionally organise your team's digital communications channels This means taking the time to sit down with your team to discuss expectations of response.   One thing that some leaders find helpful is to create a ‘communications charter’ with their team to decide collectively how and when each digital channel should be used Maybe you decide that the team will only respond to emails during working hours and WhatsApp is only used for emergencies – the specifics can vary depending on the team but the idea is to set clear boundaries.  our message at the Self-Investigation is that we all need to start creating a healthier culture of what it means to be a journalist and as an industry as a whole.   Mar Cabra is one of the speakers at our Leadership Development courses at the Reuters Institute.

Over the weekend, Estrada presided as chair during Saturday’s Asean+3 meeting, in the ongoing 150th Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. The meeting served as a platform for dialogue and cooperation among the parliaments of Asean member states and their three dialogue partners—China, Japan, and South Korea—to foster regional collaboration, address shared challenges, and promote sustainable development, peace, and security in the Asia-Pacific region. Also at the meeting, Estrada sought support for the Philippines’s bid for a non-permanent seat on the UN Security Council for the 2027-2028 term, aiming to represent Southeast Asia and smaller nations on security concerns and global cooperation.  Input your search keywords and press Enter.

Rip.ie, The Irish Times Building, 24-28 Tara Street, Dublin 2, Ireland As they carried the coffin into the church that old velvety voice slipped from the speakers and a comfortingly familiar song filled the air The significance of the words were lost on no one After singing about it for almost 60 years returning to where it all started at the end of a long and hugely successful showbiz career He died a week ago in St Vincent’s hospital at the age of 88 “And would you believe it,” said Fr Brian D’Arcy to the packed congregation “Dickie is being buried on Frank Sinatra’s birthday.” The venue was the Church of the Most Precious Blood in Dublin’s Cabra west Dickie sang there in the choir when he was a boy and went on to become one of Ireland’s greatest and most enduring entertainers A superstar of the country’s transformative showband boom in the 1960s and 1970s he was still going strong until a couple of years ago “He was always proud to say: I’m Richard Rock from the Dingle Road in Cabra west” who became unofficial chaplain to the showband world when a young priest He recalled how Dickie rose to stardom in very different times when society was closed and inward looking and young people were yearning for excitement and modernity they lifted that veil of darkness from around us.” even if there was a cheerfully resigned spirit of the last hurrah among surviving stalwarts of those long-gone heady days of rock and roll [ Funeral of ‘eternal legend’ Dickie Rock attended by hundreds in DublinOpens in new window ] Dickie played his part right up to the end As old friends and even older neighbours gathered in the wintry chill outside the church the hearse bearing his remains swept through the gates It was a gleaming 1947 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith with whitewall tyres and oodles of attitude – a proper showbiz entrance Sarah-Jane and Peter alongside his grandchildren and his brother and sisters Dickie’s beloved wife Judy died two years ago and their son Joseph died in 1992 As locals watched the family from a respectful distance the same comment was repeated again and again [ In pictures: Dickie Rock’s funeralOpens in new window ] Later, Peter would deliver a moving eulogy and a touching insight into the family man rather than the performer. He and his siblings are so proud of their father, “Proud of everything you achieved, proud of the man you were and proud to call you our father. We will miss you every single day but we take great comfort knowing you’re with mum and Joseph walking every step of the way again in peace, in love, just as it was always meant to be.” He read two of his Dad’s love letters to Judy when they were engaged to be married – one sent from Manhattan, the other from Miami. The church was packed and the stage was set – wreaths along the walls, twinkling Christmas trees on either side of the altar and a lovely crib. The old troupers from back in the day arrived, all nattily dressed, as might be expected. Dickie was always impeccably turned out, it was noted by a number of the speakers. He “would be delighted to see a full house for his last gig”, remarked Fr Brian. And the punters almost got the full two hours too. It was a great funeral. The music was ace. Red Hurley was in fine voice. But Richard Rock was the star. After the communion, Dickie’s son sang a song his father had recorded – the Carl Sigman classic Till. It was a powerful performance and emotional moment, the father’s voice coming through magnificently in the son’s. When he finished on a passionate crescendo, there was hardly a dry eye in the house. The congregation responded with a standing ovation. Richard’s siblings ran inside the altar rail and the family embraced. Later, broadcaster and showband member Ronan Collins spoke about Dickie’s career. “He was the eternal professional,” he said, and “the king of Cabra”. For a final bow, as the mourners filed out, another hit from Cabra’s regal crooner boomed out. “From the candy store on the corner, to the chapel on the hill...” Or the church on Fassaugh Avenue, to be precise. In the pews, women who may once have rocked beehive hairdos, miniskirts and wet-look boots were just happy to sing along, do the arm actions and nearly swivel their hips. The showbiz crowd, walking sticks and everything, all but bounced down the church steps. “Dickie sang on those steps,” Joe Duffy told us. “We did a live performance with him – 75 minutes, one after the other. I think it was his birthday and we asked him did he want the concert in Cabra, so we had it there ... and he filled the car park and he filled the church.” And even now, in death, Dickie Rock is still filling the church and still doing his best to send them home sweatin’. Cult-favorite coffee shop La Cabra offers a stunning $5 cardamom bun Some folks like to freshen up the stale air in their apartments with $70 Diptyque candles, cut flowers, or burning sticks of palo santo. All are compelling ideas, though during this third pandemic winter I tend to prefer a more edible option. I like to drop by La Cabra in the East Village Green cardamom — as opposed to the muskier black variety used to season lamb and other meats — packs a complex citrus scent whose precise aromas can be tough to pin down can recall the eucalyptus punch of a steam sauna or the resinous perfume of a Christmas tree It’s the type of multi-layered olfactory experience you might expect from a composed it’s just par for the course at $5 per bun whose triple trussing of dough halfway down makes it look like a danish in a straight jacket which is something you realize when you get there and it’s (temporarily) sold out an acclaimed Nordic roaster with multiple shops in Denmark — along with outposts in Dubai and Bangkok — rolled into Manhattan’s East Village late last year with serious coffee cred utilizing a light roasting style for clear Patrons drink them out of handleless earthenware cups while Smart diners will also do some pastry eating. The growing chain opened with Jared Sexton at the helm, a very capable alum of Bien Cuit, Pain D’Avignon, and Dominique Ansel a ham-and-cheese croissant so light it almost seems to hover in mid-air and I’ve heard folks wax poetic about his rye tart decked out with a dollop of white chocolate panna cotta In the minimalist space — I’ve visited insurance agencies with more physical product on display — a line of dapper folks in Canada Goose jackets and other chic outerwear might snake out the door the shop still boasted an ample supply of buns around noon though a manager told me that they can run out for roughly a half-hour at a time as the kitchen bakes more with crowds sometimes ordering 1,000 or so buns before 2 p.m I took my treats home, warmed them up, and then feasted. Fans of the cardamom bun from Fabrique — a Swedish bakery that can attract its own lines in Chelsea — would be well served to sample La Cabra’s with the spice releasing a touch of its signature warmth; the ingredient Sexton weaves cardamom into the dough itself spreads a sugar-laced paste of the stuff around all the tight nooks and crannies before baking then sprinkles more onto the pastry’s exterior But here’s the thing: I find the La Cabra bun a lot more enjoyable than the cross-town competition and also because it flaunts a more toothsome texture While Fabrique’s pastry is reasonably light but as you eat your way toward the interior you get something that’s closer to a cinnamon bun an Italian-American garlic knot in terms of its heft There is no shortage of cultured butter in the dough but what you detect most of all is a lean muscularity but it doesn’t burden your insides with too much dairy fat And it lets you breathe in the scent of a coniferous forest for a few short minutes You can probably guess the verdict: I’m calling the bun a BUY Consider pairing it with a woodsy and acidic Ethiopian pour over (Nansebo $6) to cut tame some of the oversized flavors Buy, Sell, Hold is a column from Eater New York’s chief critic Ryan Sutton where he looks at a dish or item and decides whether you should you buy it The Top Chef star’s new rooftop restaurant opens today atop the Hoxton Hotel Partners Rob Katz and Kevin Boehm of the Boka Group are once again backing the new Cabra which will follow Izard down a Peruvian path to dinnertime dishes like quinoa and tuna salad avocado dip with taro and sweet potato chips and heartier mains like skirt steak saltado and lots of roast fish and chicken to share A full bar is also available from beverage director Daniel Dooreck and lots of local and Peruvian beers and wine Cabra opens today atop the Hoxton Hotel in Downtown with an extension to midnight on Friday and Saturday night “If they can maintain a skatepark in Ballyfermot why can’t they do it in Cabra?” asked Green Party Councillor Feljin Jose From when Oisín MacInnes was 11 years old to when he was 13 he used to skateboard at the local skatepark in Cabra every day after school it was the closest one to my house,” says MacInnes who now works in High Rollers Skate Store in Aungier Street Young people on scooters also used the facility at Cabra Parkside Community Sports Centre Then the council closed the Cabra skatepark suddenly “I was pretty upset when it happened,” MacInnes says He wasn’t the only one. A petition in February 2020 calling on the council to re-open the skatepark gathered 274 signatures At a meeting of the council’s Central Area Committee on Tuesday, Green Party Councillor Feljin Jose proposed a motion calling on the council to reopen it A written response to Jose’s motion from the council executive said the council had closed the skatepark “on health and safety grounds There were also access issues (people had to get to it through the sports centre) and some people were not using safety equipment says an email Jose received from a council official in November founder of Irish skateboarding magazine Goblin “The Cabra one was not designed or built well enough to pass the test of time” Halton says the council should rebuild a new better-maintained skatepark on the current site Councils around the country are working on plans for skateparks and the biggest challenge is usually identifying suitable locations the majority of the councillors on the committee declined to support Jose’s motion calling for the Cabra skatepark to be reopened At the Cabra Parkside Community Sports Centre there are multiple grass pitches for soccer and GAA and a small astroturf pitch – right beside the long-closed skatepark the plan was to replace it with a multi-use games area a small pitch that can also be used to play basketball according to the executive’s written response to Jose The council hasn’t done that in the years since it closed the skatepark “There are loads of football pitches already,” he says After the council closed his local skatepark he then had to cycle 4km to Fairview to skateboard says the council should rebuild a new skatepark on the site “Ballyfermot skatepark has been an overwhelming success story,” he says The higher-quality builds are a better way to spend money because they last much longer The main thing is to use concrete as in Ballyfermot not metal “They are always going to have more wear and tear.” Ballyfermot’s park also has high-quality design and is open-access to users throughout the day Most major towns in Ireland will be getting skateparks in the coming years “The main difficulty with getting skateparks built around the country is land,” he says “Skateparks are very attractive places for teenagers to go,” he says they have the precedent of it there before.” says there are no skateboarding facilities nearby so young people would come from surrounding areas too to use the skatepark on boards and BMX bikes said “If they can maintain a skatepark in Ballyfermot He said the council is considering opening a brand-new skatepark in the neighbouring suburb in Finglas Why not renovate the existing facility in Cabra as well “I think we need to provide a wide diversity of activities,” says Jose But at Tuesday’s Central Area Committee meeting most local councillors didn’t support his motion saying there were good reasons why the Cabra skatepark was closed there have been calls from some residents recently to “reinstate” the Cabra skatepark said Fine Gael Councillor Colm O’Rourke at the meeting But “We have to remember that there were calls previously when it was in use Sinn Féin Councillor Séamas McGrattan said there were a couple of incidents at the skatepark when it was open where people were injured Dublin City Council didn’t respond to a query as to how it deals with safety issues at its other skateparks McGrattan also questioned whether there was demand for a skatepark in the area But the council didn’t maintain the facility well The skatepark was not well-used by the time it was shut “So I’d be reluctant to put in so much money.” said the council should carry out a consultation and perhaps work towards some kind of compromise Fianna Fáil Councillor John Stephens said he supported a use other than skateboarding for the site “We have to use that in a proper and constructive way.” McGrattan too suggested another use for the site might be better There is massive demand for indoor sports facilities so the council might need to extend the sports centre building at that location instead The council is currently carrying out an audit of sports facilities across the city to identify needs and the best use of that space in Cabra should be examined carefully by that committee as part of that process Laoise Neylon is a reporter at Dublin Inquirer You can reach her at

exclusive economic zone (EEZ) as of Monday following its departure from Capones Island in Zambales over the weekend According to monitoring conducted by the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) vessel BRP Cabra (MRRV-4409) the CCG 5901 has been in the EEZ for three days spokesperson of the PCG for the West Philippine Sea national task force said its erratic movements suggest that it is not engaged in innocent passage but instead conducting a law enforcement operation He pointed out that its lingering presence is an assertion of jurisdiction over these waters which China claims as part of its territory The PCG continues to monitor the situation and asserts the Philippines’ sovereign rights within its EEZ including the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) the crew of BRP Cabra has remained steadfast in challenging this assertion diligently tailing and shadowing CCG 5901 to uphold Philippine sovereign rights,” Commodore Jay Tarriela said in a post on his X account “This unwavering commitment reflects the guidance of Commandant Admiral Ronnie Gil Gavan emphasizing the importance of persistently confronting the illegal presence of the People’s Republic of China and ensuring the safety and security of Filipino fishermen operating in the area,” he added Tarriela said the PCG reaffirms its dedication to protecting the nation’s maritime interests and will continue to monitor the activities of the CCG’s illegitimate presence © Palawan News - All rights reserved 2025 | Oasis Media Group Corp Designed and Developed by Neitiviti Studios John F. Cabra, ’88, ’96, professor of creativity and change leadership at Buffalo State College has advised scientists working on space research While he doesn’t have expertise in any of those disciplines he does possess a valuable skill that scientists and other professionals seek—the ability to creatively solve problems and find ways for disparate voices to work together “My job is to make sure that these folks are engaged in a creative process that will lead to cutting-edge ideas that have wide-ranging impact,” said Cabra who has taught creativity at Buffalo State since 2006 Last August, the National Science Foundation (NSF) invited Cabra to return as a team science faculty member to support the second phase of its NSF Convergence Accelerator Program which uses a multidisciplinary approach to find solutions to societal challenges such as harnessing big data and using AI to connect workers with the jobs of the future and Cabra anticipates returning for the third cohort later this year “Understanding the science behind creativity gives you the confidence to face volatile and complex situations without becoming daunted.” He’s also worked in recent years with NASA and the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System, among others. Cabra became involved with the scientific organizations through the international consulting firm Knowinnovation (KI) founded by creativity alumnus Andy Burnett Burnett asked Cabra to join the organization as a trainer and facilitator in 2010 Cabra has contributed to more than 30 projects they facilitated a three-day “ideas lab” for the scientists “We took them through all the stages of the creative process and brought in provocateurs who would help people to disconfirm their thinking in some way,” he said “The goal was for them to think outside their training and previous paradigm and to ultimately create research proposals that get funded.” the scientists have reported another tangible benefit of the consultants’ work—better communication with one another “They compare our workshops with their typical meetings filled with lots of arguments among dominant people with loud voices,” Cabra said “We level the playing field with a democratic process.” They also used many of the exercises used in Buffalo State’s International Center for Studies in Creativity such as reframing problems by using open-ended questions Cabra discovered the power of creativity decades ago He entered Buffalo State as an undergraduate in the 1980s lecturer and former associate professor of creative studies Cabra decided to add a minor in creativity “I would not have had the kind of career success I’ve enjoyed without that minor,” he said He had the opportunity to put that idea into practice early on as a training and organizational development manager at American Airlines in Miami It was peak travel season when the vice president for his division called Cabra with a thorny problem “Floor agents were not treating customers the way he wanted,” Cabra said although I’d never done anything like that before I knew we needed a process that was more ethereal He ran a series of workshops where he asked employees to share stories of success in their jobs and imagine ways to find more of it “People left the meetings on such a natural high,” Cabra said “The VP called me a couple of weeks later and said people were on fire Cabra knew he wanted to delve deeper into the creativity discipline so he returned to Buffalo State in the mid-’90s to pursue a master’s in creative studies (now creativity and change leadership) After earning a doctorate in organizational psychology in 2006 from the University of Manchester in Manchester he began sharing his passion for creativity in the classroom He’s also shared his expertise with companies such as IBM and Coca-Cola; universities such as Drexel and Harvard; and government entities such as the U.S One of his favorite consultant assignments was with the Pew Charitable Trusts in October 2019 Scientists from different disciplines were discussing a climate change challenge—marine species were migrating to waters they hadn’t in the past the participants came up with great proposals,” he said “And stakeholders with deep pockets were on hand A good number of the proposals got funded because they were pleased with the presentations they saw.” Despite the whirlwind of work in recent months He just submitted a proposal to the NSF on behalf of Buffalo State in partnership with California State University he would support research to improve remote STEM classes that serve many minority students as well as deliver creative problem-solving training for students and weave creativity skills into the curriculum for faculty “Working with these organizations continues to motivate me because we’re helping scientists to have the kind of engaging conversations that result in interdisciplinary breakthroughs,” he said “These lead to the formation of innovative research that helps address wicked problems that can make an impact on millions of lives.” a Buffalo-based nonprofit organization that promotes social justice Pictured: John Cabra teaching in Buffalo State's 2017 Fostering Innovation in Teaching with Technology (FITT) Academy.

batched brews that start at $3.50 per cup; and a few standard espresso drinks The shop also stocks retail boxes of coffee priced at $18 to $22 La Cabra will offer a daily spread of cardamom buns and loaves of Danish rye and naturally leavened sourdough breads The NYC food menu is overseen by head baker Jared Sexton He also previously spent time as a baker at Pain D’Avignon and a pastry cook at Dominique Ansel Bakery La Cabra has been establishing a small coffee empire — which now includes two shops and a bakery in Copenhagen — in the country since 2012 The company also runs outposts in Bangkok and Dubai The East Village shop marks La Cabra’s first location in the United States All the new restaurant openings in New York this month Los Angeles based venture capital fund leads round to build platform around Latino Sports Fans a community and fandom platform aimed at the intersection of Latino Culture and Sports Culture announced its formal launch and closing of a pre-seed round of $2.5 Million a venture fund focused on powering a diverse tech future "We're seeing a massive opportunity in digitally native platforms that are finding new and innovative ways to engage with consumers We're excited about the high-growth opportunities being created by the convergence of powerful trends in technology sports and shifting demographics" said Marcos Gonzalez "The focus on the US Latino market is especially important as we can see that at the heart of sports fandom are Latinos who we believe represent the present and future of sports" he added The sports fandom landscape is changing rapidly and becoming more diverse with Latino sports fans leading the way and already over-index on sports fandom (72% consider themselves sports fans vs "While Latinos represent some of the most avid sports fans they significantly under-index in platforms that monetize avid sports fandom "No one is doing this from a Latino fan perspective Most are trying to replicate old models that are dictated by sports rights or launching platforms that have no brand or cultural insights… all of which fail to truly engage Latino sports fans." added Mr Leading the organization are Jesus Chavez as Co-Founder/CEO and Mauricio Cruz as Co-Founder/CSO Chavez was previously the CEO of Vertical Networks a digital content studio and joint venture of Snapchat and Liz Murdoch and COO of Mitu a bilingual/bicultural digital media brand Cruz previously worked at frog/Fahrenheit-212 as a Senior Strategist Major League Soccer as a LATAM Player and Contract Specialist Chavez and Cruz intend to launch a fandom community across social platforms and developing interactive sports fandom products and experiences that authentically serve the company's engaged audience CABRA Sports is a fandom platform built at the intersection of Latino Culture and Sports Culture We believe Latino Sports Fans are the present and future of sports fandom yet remain underserved by Latino Sports Media and overlooked by General Sports Media We want to turn the camera back to the stands to focus on the Greatest Fans of All-Time To learn more, follow us on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook @CabraSportsHQ or visit http://www.cabrasportshq.com VamosVentures is an early-stage venture capital fund investing in innovative and highly scalable companies led by Latinx/diverse teams across the USA.
