It is nice to hear the Regional Office of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) in Southern Mindanao encouraging employers, both private establishments and government agencies, to adopt a Work-from-Home (WFH) arrangement for certain sectors of their work Force.
Saying that the Department is not just after the compliance of employers on salary standards given to workers but also to their personal physical health DOLE XI director lawyer Randolph Pensoy said the increasing heat index in the region brought about by the El Nino phenomenon is endangering the health of the workers even those who have jobs within the confines of office buildings.
We assume that Director Pensoy thinks that exposing to the heat in going to the offices and back home with the current heat index still affects adversely the physical condition of the workers. And that is possibly what pushes the Labor official to encourage the employers to adopt a WFH scheme.
For workers whose job requires them continuous exposure to the heat of the sun Pensoy calls on the employers to facilitate and adopt measures for the workers to take a respite without jeopardizing their productivity.
For this benevolent gesture the DOLE XI official should be appreciated by the work force in this part of Mindanao. Clearly Pensoy’s move is an open gesture of concern for the workers’ physical welfare.

Sen. Risa Hontiveros is now calling on the Philippine National Police (PNP) to revoke the gun licenses reportedly issued to fugitive Pastor Apollo Quiboloy the number of which could qualify him to be having an armory.
Of course it would be easy for the PNP to do the documentary part of the licenses revocation. The question is, whether or not it would be similarly easy for the police to retrieve the guns which we have no doubt, are deposited in well-secured locations.
If the law enforcers could not even find the fugitive Pastor almost a month after his warrants of arrest were issued, thenhow much longer could it be for the lawmen to search the hiding place or places of the Quiboloy guns?

So our earlier theory that the twin murders done last Sunday, April 21, within a room at the Camella Northpoint condominium, and just at the grounds of the same structure located along Daang Maharlika in Bajada, Davao City, were love-generated crimes could already be partly confirmed with the initial findings of the Bajada police probers?
Yes, we were saying that the two cases could end up a modern Romeo and Juliet story. That is where our theory differs a little with that of the initial police findings. The twin murders, the police said, could possibly be a love triangle. Meaning, the killings could have been done by the third person in the other angle.
Indeed the possibility of the police theory is strong. Imagine, both victims are not from Davao City and they came to this metropolis where they ended up killed! Yes, even if the victims were here for the first or even the second or third time, they could not have developed enemies from this place; unless they have businesses in Davao City with local partners and have some problems in the sharing of profits or whatever. But apparently the police still do not have such information.
So the third party in the love triangle could have traced the victims in Davao City where he or she decided to do his/her thing.
And we have no doubt it would now be easy for the police to identify the mastermind if they will get a handle on their “persons of interest.”
