Tropang 5G, Hotshots shoot for share of PBA Philippine Cup lead

Games on Friday
(Ynares Center-Montalban)
5:15 p.m. – TNT vs Terrafirma
7:30 p.m. – San Miguel vs Magnolia

TNT and Magnolia seek to join Rain or Shine (ROS) atop the PBA Season 50 Philippine Cup against separate foes on Friday and establish a bit more distance from the chase pack in the tight leaderboard.

The streaking TNT Tropang 5G gun for their fifth win in six matches as they take on skidding Terrafirma (1-4) at 5:15 p.m. while the Magnolia Hotshots (4-1) target the same versus defending champion San Miguel Beermen (SMB) (3-2) at 7:30 p.m.

TNT and Magnolia share second spot prior to the Friday double-header at Ynares Center-Montalban with SMB and Converge close by at 3-2 apiece and Meralco (3-4) and Ginebra (2-3) also within striking range.

Acknowledging his team’s reputation as a strong starter but sloppy finisher, the Hotshots’ first-year coach LA Tenorio acknowledges the challenge of sustaining it all the way through and changing the narrative.

“Of course I want to be in this position rather than be in a different position,” said Mr. Tenorio.

“This Magnolia team is always on top but we know the experience. Hopefully, it’s a different story moving forward,” he added.

Mr. Tenorio’s charges expect a tough test with the Beermen back in the groove, winning their last three matches after a woeful 0-2 start.

A fourth straight victory by SMB will allow it to crack the Top 4 for the first time in the conference.

Last season’s runner-up TNT is highly determined to collect as many Ws early and avoid possible complications down the road.

“We know this is still a long way to go, there’s still so many tough teams that we have to face. So right now our focus is number one, rest and recovery, and then be ready for our next game,” said Tropang 5G coach Chot Reyes after their great comeback act against Meralco, 100-98, in overtime, on Oct. 29.

Standing between TNT and Win No. 5 are the Dyip, who are out to stop a three-game skid and try to move up to joint ninth from their current standing at No. 11.

Notes: Rain or Shine’s worst fear came true: Big man Keith Datu sustained a major injury when he limped out in the third quarter of the Elasto Painters’ 91-80 disposal of Phoenix on Wednesday. Mr. Datu, the team announced on Thursday, suffered a right patellar tendon rupture and will likely be sidelined for the rest of Season 50. This came as a huge blow as ROS is already missing swingman Caelan Tiongson and veteran guard Stanley Pringle due to injuries. — Olmin Leyba

‘Lost his joy’ playing for Grizzlies

The uneasy truce between Ja Morant and the Grizzlies, long in place because of his capacity to be both dominant and destructive, has frayed again. His one-game suspension for “conduct detrimental to the team” resulted from a listless showing against the Lakers and a pregnant post-mortem in which he gave cryptic statements. “Go ask the coaching staff,” he said, his voice seeping in sarcasm and frustration. “According to them, probably don’t play me.”

The words were clipped but revealing. In another presser, Morant admitted he has “lost his joy” playing for the Grizzlies. For a two-time All-Star whose entire identity is premised on spring, surge, and spectacle, jouissance is both his fuel and his brand. Everything becomes mechanical in its absence. Meanwhile, the blue and gray are compelled to address a structural concern. How is their culture? Where is their control? What is their identity? Once, they basked in the defiant play of their supposed foundational piece. Now, they scramble to set his limits for good.

To be sure, the tension has been around a while. Drafted in 2019 to lead a young roster toward relevance, Morant delivered on his promise much faster than projected. His ascent made the Grizzlies matter again. Unfortunately, their brush with success likewise compressed their timeline. And when juxtaposed with their outsized expectations, his suspensions, injuries, and off-court distractions could not but be viewed as pain points. His latest clash with the coaching staff gives them the impetus to assess the discontent between the type of on-court leadership they have, if at all, and the kind they need.

Naturally, there has been speculation on potential destinations for Morant; the Kings, Suns, Timberwolves, and Rockets are seen as possibilities. The irony is inescapable: a seemingly untouchable personality being subjected to hypotheticals, with his contract and reputation coloring the lines. In the National Basketball Association, just about anybody can be moved. The question is the manner in which the Grizzlies see a bright future. Will they be better off with him? Without him? And for how long?

At this point, one thing is clear. The Grizzlies and Morant have to address the dissonance with finality. They can commit to their partnership or blow it up. Anything in between keeps them restless and searching for a rhythm they have already lost.

Trump administration has revoked 80,000 non-immigrant visas, US official says

WASHINGTON — President Donald J. Trump’s administration has revoked around 80,000 non-immigrant visas since its inauguration on Jan. 20 for offenses ranging from driving under the influence to assault and theft, a senior State Department official said on Wednesday.

The extent of the revocations, first reported by Washington Examiner, reflects a broad immigration crackdown initiated when Mr. Trump came into office, deporting an unprecedented number of migrants including some who held valid visas.

The administration has also adopted a stricter policy on granting visas, with tightened social media vetting and expanded screening.

Around 16,000 of the visa revocations were tied to cases of driving under the influence, while about 12,000 were for assault and another 8,000 for theft.

“These three crimes accounted for almost half of revocations this year,” said the senior State Department official, speaking on the condition of anonymity.

In August, a State Department spokesperson said Washington had revoked more than 6,000 student visas for overstays and breaking the law, including a small number for “support for terrorism.”

The department also said last month that it had revoked the visas of at least six people over social media comments about the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in May said he has revoked the visas of hundreds, perhaps thousands, of people, including students, because of involvement in activities that he said went against US foreign policy priorities.

Directives from the State Department this year have ordered US diplomats abroad to be vigilant against any applicants whom Washington may see as hostile to the United States and with a history of political activism.

Trump administration officials have said that student visa and green card holders are subject to deportation over their support for Palestinians and criticism of Israel’s conduct in the war in Gaza, calling their actions a threat to US foreign policy and accusing them of being pro-Hamas. — Reuters

Momentum on climate action is waning, Singapore minister says as COP30 looms

PHILSTAR FILE PHOTO

SINGAPORE — Momentum on global climate action is waning as geopolitical issues pile uncertainties on businesses and governments, Singapore’s environment minister Grace Fu said on Thursday ahead of the Conference of the Parties (COP30) climate summit, which will convene from Nov. 10-21.

Aside from geopolitical tensions, higher energy and food prices have created “political headwinds” that are making it harder for countries to take the drastic climate actions that are required, she told reporters in a group interview.

“The fact that the US has pulled out of the Paris Agreement is an important factor… There are a lot of political considerations as well,” she added.

Around 50,000 delegates and 190 governments are expected to travel to the rainforest city of Belem in Brazil for the annual summit.

Ms. Fu said that despite the waning momentum, it is up to countries to find like-minded partners to collaborate on combating climate change.

Singapore is already working to sign implementation agreements with “a dozen or so” countries that will allow it to source carbon credits under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, she said.

It signed its 10th agreement with Mongolia in October, establishing a legally binding framework to generate and transfer carbon credits from carbon mitigation projects.

“We hope that a lot more can be done to harmonize the regulations… The disclosure standards, (and) also to build breadth and depth in the market,” Ms. Fu said.

The choice of the rainforest city of Belem as the venue for the summit this year has created logistical challenges for countries as nightly hotel rates soared amid a shortage of beds.

Ms. Fu said the Singapore delegation has been cut by about half compared to last year, with the Sustainability and Environment Ministry mindful of the costs of sending delegates and the need to lighten the load on Belem’s public infrastructure, including the use of private hire cars to travel to and from conference venues.

According to climate publication Carbon Brief, Singapore sent 262 delegates to COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan last year. — Reuters

Egypt’s Enany set to lead UNESCO despite criticism of heritage record at home

UNESCO.ORG

CAIRO — Egypt’s former tourism and antiquities minister Khaled El-Enany is set to be confirmed as head of United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) on Thursday, despite criticism from heritage groups that he had failed to protect cultural treasures at home such as Cairo’s “City of the Dead.”

Mr. Enany, 54, was elected last month by UNESCO’s 58-member Executive Board with 55 votes, beating Edouard Firmin Matoko of Congo-Brazzaville. His appointment as the first Arab director-general of the UN cultural and education agency will be put to a formal confirmation vote of all 194 member states at the agency’s general conference in Samarkand, Uzbekistan.

PARTS OF HISTORIC SITE DEMOLISHED
The Berlin-based NGO World Heritage Watch last week urged countries to reconsider the appointment, arguing that Mr. Enany’s record as minister raised questions about his commitment to preserving cultural sites.

In a letter signed by more than 50 organizations and experts, it cited the demolition of parts of Cairo’s historic necropolis, the “City of the Dead,” and the expansion of tourism works near St. Catherine’s Monastery in Sinai, both UNESCO World Heritage sites.

“It is irresponsible to entrust someone with such a past with the top job at the organization responsible for preserving world heritage,” the group said.

Reuters was unable to reach Mr. Enany directly for comment. Before last month’s executive board vote, his campaign said he was too busy to respond to questions sent by Reuters about criticism of his record. The campaign added in a statement that “the unfortunate mega-project that the government decided to carry out in the St. Catherine’s area is currently halted.”

Following his election, the campaign declined to comment further and referred the questions to the UNESCO Secretariat, which did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.

‘ERASING EGYPT’S HISTORY’
An Egyptologist and former museum director, Mr. Enany served as minister from 2016 to 2022. UNESCO documents describe Mr. Enany’s former ministry as the “official entity responsible” for UNESCO World Heritage property in Cairo’s historic area.

Conservationists argue that gave the ministry a duty to map and register assets, set site boundaries, press for impact assessments before launching projects and object when those projects threatened what UNESCO dubs areas of outstanding universal value.

Instead, they say, highway and bridge projects that accelerated from 2020 cut through swathes of unregistered mausoleums in the “City of the Dead,” a 10 sq km (3.9 sq miles) necropolis fringing eastern Cairo.

Many families still bury their dead in the area, amid ornate tombs of Mamluk sultans, nationalist leaders and Islamic scholars such as Imam al-Shafi’i.

“What happened in the cemeteries is erasing a huge part of Egypt’s history,” said heritage advocate Sally Soliman, who has filed lawsuits to stop demolitions.

Egypt’s government has defended the developments, saying registered monuments were spared and that infrastructure work was essential to revitalize tourism and modernize Cairo.

In South Sinai, critics say the “Great Transfiguration” project that began in 2021 around St. Catherine’s Monastery replaced a small visitor center with large domed buildings that clashed with the ancient site’s design and setting.

UNESCO’s World Heritage Committee earlier this year requested an expert mission to assess the site.

DIPLOMATIC MOMENTUM
Despite the controversy, Mr. Enany’s bid has drawn strong support from Arab and African nations, which have long sought greater representation at the helm of the organization.

“Egypt’s candidature is overdue representation,” Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty said in Paris last month. “We have to lift this historical injustice to Egypt, to the Arabs, to the Muslims, and to the Africans.”

Mr. Enany has pledged to “build a UNESCO for the people,” streamline decision-making and diversify funding as the agency braces for the withdrawal of US financial contributions at the end of 2026.

A UNESCO spokesperson said the election of the director-general was “a sovereign decision of member states.”

If confirmed, Mr. Enany will take office in mid-November, succeeding France’s Audrey Azoulay, who has completed two four-year terms. — Reuters

Louvre museum will need years to fix security issues, state auditor finds

PARIS — France’s Louvre Museum began a security audit a decade ago but the recommended upgrades will not be completed until 2032, the state auditor said in a report on Thursday compiled before a spectacular heist there last month.

The Louvre’s credibility in safeguarding its countless works was tarnished by the daylight robbery, in which four robbers made off with jewels worth $102 million, sparking debate around the shortcomings of the world’s most-visited museum. Officials have admitted security was not up to scratch.

While investigators have charged four suspects for involvement in the raid, the treasures have yet to be recovered.

Excerpts from the report, which was published on Thursday by the national audit office, known as the Cour des Comptes, had already leaked in the media days after the raid.

Only 39% of the museum’s rooms had cameras as of 2024, the report said, and a security audit begun in 2015, which found the museum was not sufficiently monitored or prepared for a crisis, only led to a tender for security works at the end of last year.

“It will take several years to complete the project, which, according to the museum, is not expected to be finished until 2032,” the report said.

It also highlighted excessive spending to buy artwork and post-pandemic relaunch projects, as well as missed revenues from inefficiencies and ticketing fraud, as contributing to the museum’s inability to fix its outdated infrastructure.

Even the development initiatives it announced this year were not based on feasibility studies, whether technical or financial, and did not consider staffing needs, the report said.

The report provided 10 recommendations including a drop in the number of acquisitions by the museum, an increase in its ticket prices and a refurbishment of its digital infrastructure and governance.

In the face of a “chronic under-investment in information systems”, the auditor said, “the museum must strengthen its internal control function, which remains underdeveloped for an institution the size of the Louvre”.

The theft only reinforces some of the considerations made in the report, the auditor’s head Pierre Moscovici told journalists on Thursday, calling the robbery a “deafening” alarm.

After the robbery, French officials said the Louvre would introduce extra security, including anti-intrusion devices and anti-vehicle ramming barriers on nearby public roads, by the end of the year.

In January, amid growing complaints about disarray at the museum, France launched an ambitious development project involving a new space dedicated to Leonardo’s Mona Lisa, the world’s most famous painting, and new security steps to protect its visitors and precious exhibits.

In written remarks published by the audit office, Culture Minister Rachida Dati said she agreed on the urgency of the technical work and reiterated calls for swift corrective measures.

Louvre director Laurence des Cars said in the same document she supported most of the auditor’s recommendations but insisted the museum’s long-term transformation plan is essential to address its structural challenges. — Reuters

Groping of Mexico’s president puts violence against women in spotlight

Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum — REUTERS

MEXICO CITY — Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Wednesday she filed a complaint against a man who groped her and tried to kiss her as she walked between meetings in the capital city, a day after a video of the incident went viral.

“If this happens to the president, where does that leave all the young women in our country,” said Ms. Sheinbaum, Mexico’s first female president. “No man has the right to abuse women’s personal space.”

Video of the incident quickly ricocheted across the internet before being taken down by some accounts, underscoring for many in Mexico the insecurity women face in a country steeped in machismo and gender-based violence.

It has also raised questions about Ms. Sheinbaum’s security detail. Like her predecessor, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, Ms. Sheinbaum travels with minimal security and makes herself widely available to the public, including wading into crowds of people.

She said on Wednesday that she did not plan to change that practice, saying “we have to be close to the people.”

The incident happened on Tuesday in the capital’s historic center as Ms. Sheinbaum was greeting members of the public while making the short walk from Mexico’s national palace to the Ministry of Education.

The video shows a middle-aged man putting his arm around Ms. Sheinbaum, touching her chest and attempting to kiss her. She moves his hands away before a member of her staff steps between them. The president’s security detail did not appear to be near her in the moment.

Ms. Sheinbaum said the man appeared to be drunk.

RE-VICTIMIZATION
She also blasted Mexican newspaper Reforma for publishing images of the man groping her, saying she considered it a “re-victimization” and that it crossed an ethical line.

“The use of the image is also a crime,” Sheinbaum said, pointing to legislation against digital violence. “I am waiting for an apology from the newspaper.”

The federal government’s Women’s Ministry, created under Ms. Sheinbaum, issued a statement on Tuesday encouraging women to report violence against them, but asking media outlets “not to reproduce content that violates the integrity of women.”

Still, feminist activists have sharply criticized Ms. Sheinbaum in the past for not doing enough to address violence against women. Among other things, they point to lackluster prosecutions and investigations of femicides – the killing of a woman because of her gender.

In 2024, Mexico recorded 821 femicides, according to government data. There have been 501 femicides recorded through September of this year, and many advocates say the numbers are likely far underestimated.

CRIMINALIZING HARASSMENT
Ana Yeli Perez of the National Citizen Observatory on Femicide said the groping of Ms. Sheinbaum puts the issue of violence against women on the national agenda again.

“It’s reprehensible, it must be denounced, it must be named, because it’s an act of violence, but it’s also a significant event and symbolic of what women experience every day,” she said.

Ms. Sheinbaum said sexual harassment should be a “criminal offense, punishable by law,” adding that she has asked Mexico’s Women’s Ministry to conduct a review of the legal codes in each state.

Sexual harassment is a crime in about half of Mexican states, as well as the capital Mexico City.

Local media identified the man who assaulted Ms. Sheinbaum as Uriel Rivera and a state security filing showed he was arrested at 9 p.m. on Tuesday night. — Reuters

DepEd pushes unified national class suspension protocol 

Education officials at a meeting on class suspension. — DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

The Department of Education said it is working to establish a uniform national class suspension protocol to curb learning loss amid national disasters.   

“Just like what President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. said, we need to face and prepare for the challenges that disasters bring to education,” Education Secretary Juan Edgardo “Sonny” M. Angara said in Filipino in a news release.   

“We cannot stop the storm, but we can prepare better so that decisions are swift, clear, and well-coordinated when the safety and future of our children are at stake,” he added.   

To address the worsening impact of the climate crisis, the Education department, together with other government agencies, aims to develop a Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) advisory template to help local governments issue a “timely and consistent” suspension announcement.  

The agencies also agreed to require regional and division offices to report the frequency and impact of class suspensions and publish official data on lost school days.   

Meanwhile, the make-up class policy and Alternative Delivery Modes (ADM) will be strengthened to keep learners engaged when in-person classes are cancelled.  

“While modular and online learning options have helped sustain instruction during disruptions, DepEd noted that these cannot fully replace face-to-face learning, especially for younger students who still depend on close teacher guidance,” the department said.   

Under DepEd Order 22, Series of 2024, local executives, school division superintendents, and school heads have the authority to suspend classes based on advisories from the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS), field conditions, and readiness to resume learning.   

Citing the 2019 Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS), the DepEd said that every additional day of school closure decreases a Grade 4 student’s achievement by up to 12.4 points in mathematics and 13.9 points in science.  

The study added that 10 class suspensions can lower a child’s science score from 500 to below 380.   

In the Second Congressional Commission on Education (EDCOM II) report for School Year 2023-2024, more than 20 school days were lost due to climate-related events, impacting over 11 million learners, or about 42% of the public school population.   

“We understand that safety must always come first,” Mr. Angara said. “But we also need to be ready to help students recover from lost time. Our goal is to make every day of learning count, rain or shine.” — Almira Louise S. Martinez

Nvidia’s Jensen Huang: ‘China is going to win the AI race,’ FT reports

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. — NVIDIA NEWSROOM

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang has warned that China will beat the United States in the artificial intelligence race, the Financial Times reported on Wednesday.

“China is going to win the AI race,” Mr. Huang told the newspaper on the sidelines of the Financial Times’ Future of AI Summit.

“As I have long said, China is nanoseconds behind America in AI,” Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said in a statement posted on X late on Wednesday.

“It’s vital that America wins by racing ahead and winning developers worldwide,” he added.

The artificial intelligence chip leader’s chief in October said that the US can win the AI battle if the world, including China’s massive developer base, runs on Nvidia systems. He, however, lamented that the Chinese government has shut it out of its market.

China’s access to advanced AI chips, particularly those produced by Nvidia — the world’s most valuable company by market capitalization — remains a flashpoint in its tech rivalry with the United States, as both nations vie for supremacy in cutting-edge computing and artificial intelligence.

“We want America to win this AI race. No doubt about that,” Mr. Huang said in the Nvidia developers’ conference held in Washington last month.

“We want the world to be built on American tech stack. Absolutely the case. But we also need to be in China to win their developers. A policy that causes America to lose half of the world’s AI developers is not beneficial in the long term, it hurts us more,” he added.

US President Donald Trump said in an interview aired on Sunday that Nvidia’s most advanced Blackwell chips should be reserved exclusively for American customers.

Nvidia has not applied for US export licenses to sell the chips in China, citing Beijing’s stance toward the company, Mr. Huang previously said.

Mr. Trump added that Washington would allow China to engage with Nvidia, but “not in terms of the most advanced” semiconductors.— Reuters

Philippines declares national calamity as typhoon kills over 100

The Philippines declared a state of national calamity after Typhoon Kalmaegi (locally known as Tino) left more than 100 people dead and widespread destruction across the Visayas and Mindanao, with another powerful storm expected to hit within days.

President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. said the measure would fast-track the release of emergency funds and ease procurement rules to speed up aid delivery.

“Several regions — almost 10 to 12 — have been or will be affected,” he said at a situation briefing in Quezon City. “With that scale and scope, it’s clear that this is a national calamity.”

The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council recommended the declaration as Typhoon Tino unleashed torrential rains and strong winds that triggered landslides, floods and power failures, displacing thousands of families.

Authorities are now bracing for Typhoon Uwan, forecast to intensify into a super typhoon by Friday, threatening areas still reeling from Tino’s destruction.

Government data showed at least 114 people have died, while dozens remained missing. The state of calamity will allow quicker fund access for relief, rehabilitation and price control measures in affected areas. — Chloe Mari A. Hufana

Agriculture output growth slows to 2.8% as livestock, fisheries drag

Agricultural output growth slowed to 2.8% year-on-year by value in the third quarter, with strong crop production helping offset significant drops in livestock and fisheries production, the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) reported.

The PSA said the value of agriculture and fisheries production rose 2.8% in the three months to September to P408.94 billion, following a contraction of 3.6% contraction in the same period last year. Compared to the second quarter, growth slowed from 5.7%/

“This growth was driven by the increases in the value of crop and poultry production. However, the value of livestock and fisheries production contracted during the period,” the PSA said.

Analysts and farm groups earlier projected a decline or slowdown in output growth driven by a decrease in fisheries and livestock outputs due to weather disturbances and the threat of African Swine Fever (ASF).

Crop output, which accounted for 53.3% of the total value of agricultural production, grew 3.0% to P218 billion in the third quarter.

Palay (unmilled rice) production rose 12.6%, while corn and coconut registered declines of 2.9% and 2.1%, respectively.

Crops that posted double-digit increases by value included onion (77.3%), potato (47.8%), sugarcane (42.0%), coffee (25.9%), monggo (16.9%), tobacco (15.7%), and cabbage (13.3%).

On the other hand, the value of production contracted for abaca (15.4%) and sweet potato (11.4%).

The PSA reported that poultry grew 10.6% year-on-year to P75.96 billion in the third quarter, accounting for 18.6% of total farm production.

Chicken production posted a gain of 12.4% by value, while chicken eggs and duck posted 7.7% and 0.6% growth, respectively.

Duck eggs, on the other hand, declined 4.3% during the quarter.

Livestock, fisheries outputs slip

Meanwhile, the value of livestock production posted a year-on-year decline of 1.9% in the third quarter. The subsector accounted for P60.51 billion or 14.8% of the total value of agricultural production.

Dairy was the lone bright spot in livestock, posting a 34.7% improvement.

Carabao and goat recorded the biggest decrease in production value at 9.0% and 7.7%, respectively.

Cattle and hog production slumped in the third quarter by 2.7% and 1.4%, respectively.

Meanwhile, fisheries production fell 2.7% to P54.47 billion in the third quarter, accounting for 13.3% of total output.

Double-digit declines were seen for cavalla (talakitok, 20.3%), Bali sardinella (tamban, 13.3%), tiger prawn (sugpo, 11.6%), and P. Vannamei (10.8%).

The value of seaweed production dropped 15.7% in the third quarter.

Meanwhile, double-digit growth was posted by bigeye tuna (tambakol/bariles, 52.8%), squid (22.6%), and skipjack (gulyasan, 15.9%). — Vonn Andrei Villamiel
