@ABSCBNNews@eon_sanchez Katakataka.
Nakababahala ang mga sunog sa MM. Sunod-sunod. Hindi nangyayari ang ganitong kadalasan sa ibang lugar sa Pinas o sa ibang bansa. Hindi kaya mga sinasadya ang mga ito?
Sumiklab ang sunog sa isang residential area sa Felix Huertas corner Yuseco St., Sta. Cruz, Maynila, madaling araw ng Linggo, Hunyo 7.
Itinaas ito sa unang alarma bago tuluyang naapula bandang 3:52 a.m., ayon sa BFP Manila. | via @eon_sanchez

A 24-year-old Polish tennis player arrived in Paris last week ranked 114th in the world, with no sponsors, no guaranteed income, and no certainty she could even pay for her hotel room.
She had to win three qualifying matches just to enter the French Open main draw. Prize money is only paid at the end of the tournament, so a Polish sports drink brand quietly stepped in and covered her hotel bill.
Her name is Maja Chwalinska. And today, she plays in the French Open final.
Before this tournament, she had won exactly one Grand Slam main draw match in her entire career. She had battled depression so severe that in 2021 she couldn't get out of bed. She underwent knee surgery in 2022. She spent years grinding through small tournaments across Europe just to stay afloat.
Then she arrived in Paris, won three qualifiers, and kept winning. Zheng Qinwen. Elise Mertens. Maria Sakkari. Diana Shnaider. Nine straight matches. One set dropped.
She is now the first qualifier in French Open history to reach the final. The last time a qualifier reached a Grand Slam final, it was Emma Raducanu at the 2021 US Open. Raducanu won.
By simply making the final, Chwalinska has earned more prize money than her entire career combined. The runner-up cheque alone is $1.6 million. If she wins today, she takes home $3.25 million.
One week ago she couldn't pay for her hotel room.
On Friday, Senate President Pro Tempore Loren Legarda said the 1949 Supreme Court ruling in Avelino v. Cuenco cannot be invoked to justify the reorganization of the Senate.
Legarda, who belongs to Cayetano’s camp, maintained that the Constitution and the Rules of the Senate require a majority vote of all members for the election or replacement of Senate officers.

@manilabulletin You're being fooled.
Very healthy when he was stealing, all of a sudden when a case is filed, a long list of ailments too good to be true.
Taken aback by the lengthy list of medical conditions of former Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Secretary Manuel Bonoan, Sandiganbayan Second Division Chairperson Justice Geraldine Faith Econg could not help but ask: “Bakit ang dami? (Why so many?)”
