Senate seeks total deployment ban to countries abusing OFWs

Days before the filing of candidacy on October 11, Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio delivered her second State of the City Address (SOCA) on Tuesday, highlighting the continued gains of her administration.

Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process Jesus Dureza said he respects the statement of Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio calling on her father, President Rodrigo Duterte, not to pursue talks with the National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP), after he announced that he is willing to give it another try.

Progressive labour groups in the Davao region poured into the streets on August 27 to join colleagues nationwide to demand accountability of the Duterte administration over what they said were unfulfilled promises to labor, notably in protecting the rights of workers and better working condition.
