Shangri-La Hotel at The Fort, Taguig City November 26, 2016 President Rodrigo Roa Duterte reaffirmed to fellow Bedans the promises he made to the nation from the start of his presidency when he graced the annual San Beda Law Alumni Homecoming held at Shangri-La at The Fort in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City. The President described his administration’s current formidable fight against illegal drugs, criminality, corruption and the rebellion that is getting worse. Though he admitted that he is not most happy and has some regrets as President, he vowed to clean up these problems and prevent a disaster for the next generation. “I am committed to fight corruption and I will suppress drugs. Until the last pusher is out of the streets and the last drug lord is exterminated, it will last until the last day of my term. Di tayo aatras diyan,” he said.

HIGHLIGHTS: - Dayan: I will prepare for House hearing Thursday - Dayan: I tried to seek help from De Lima but no response - Dayan: I never took, sold drugs - Dayan: I accepted money from Kerwin for a senator Ronnie Dayan on Tuesday admitted having had a relationship with his former boss, Senator Leila de Lima. During a press briefing in Camp Crame, Dayan, who was arrested in La Union earlier in the day, said the relationship lasted for seven years. "Totoo po may relasyon kami, seven years," Dayan said. De Lima, a former justice secretary, had earlier admitted in an interview on "Bawal ang Pasaway with Mareng Winnie" that she once had a relationship with Dayan. Dayan, who is married, used to work as driver-bodyguard for De Lima. Both are being linked to the illegal drug trade inside the New Bilibid Prison, with Dayan as the alleged bagman. Dayan was ordered arrested after he failed to attend the hearings of the House of Representatives regardi

MANILA – Philippine National Police chief Ronald dela Rosa on Tuesday said Ronnie Dayan, the former driver and alleged bagman of Senator Leila de Lima, has promised to become a “friendly witness” in the House probe into the alleged proliferation of illegal drugs at the New Bilibid Prison. Dela Rosa said Dayan was “arrested” in San Juan, La Union before noon today following a “literal chase” with Pangasinan and La Union cops. “Matagal ito na operation dahil nagtago siya ng husto, nasa bundok siya nagtago, parang close to ermitanyo,” Dela Rosa said. “All the while we were looking for him, siya ay nagtago sa Sitio Bato, Barangay Lacong, San Gabriel, La Union." Dayan has been accused of receiving drug money from high-profile Bilibid inmates. The money was supposedly used for De Lima’s 2016 senatorial campaign. De Lima has denied coddling Bilibid drug lords and dared the government to just file cases against her instead of making a drama out of her life. De Lima has ad

After a back and forth and cerebral chess match down the stretch, coach Tim Cone had the final laugh. With the game tied at 88 with just 5.5 seconds remaining, he drew a play for import Justin Brownlee, who took the game-winning 3-pointer from the top of the key to secure the victory. Ginebra couldn’t have written a better ending to its eight-year crusade to the crown. Justin Brownlee nailed a triple from top of the key as the buzzer expired and Ginebra escaped with 91-88 victory to bring home the 2016 PBA Governors’ Cup championship. It took eight agonizing years and seasons of torment but the Kings finally regained their lost glory after scraping past Meralco in six thrilling games. Buoyed by the predominantly pro-Ginebra crowd packing the historic Big Dome to the rafters and the presence of Robert “Sonny” Jaworski, the Gin Kings found their way back from a 13-point hole in vintage Ginebra fashion. LA Tenorio came alive in the second half and led the Kings’ th
