MANILA, Philippines — The Bureau of Customs (BOC), through the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA), successfully intercepted approximately ₱13.3 million worth of suspected marijuana “Kush” from a passenger arriving from Thailand at NAIA Terminal 1 on June 4, 2026. The Filipino passenger arrived from Thailand, and during the X-ray examination of checked-in baggage, the X-ray Inspection Project (XIP) detected suspicious images indicative of organic substances, prompting further inspection. A thorough physical examination of the luggage was immediately conducted. The inspection resulted in the discovery of 21 medium-sized packs, 42 small-sized packs, and two medium-sized containers containing dried leaves suspected to be marijuana “Kush.” The items weighed approximately 8,910 grams with an estimated street value of ₱13,365,000. Following the discovery, the BOC immediately coordinated with the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA), which conducted a K9 sniffing operation that yielded a positive indication for illegal drugs. The suspected contraband was subsequently turned over to PDEA for laboratory examination, further analysis, and case build-up. Customs Commissioner Ariel F. Nepomuceno commended the vigilance and professionalism of the personnel involved in the operation, underscoring the Bureau’s unwavering commitment to safeguarding the country’s borders against the entry of illegal drugs. The BOC-NAIA, under District Collector Atty. Yasmin Obillos-Mapa, continues to strengthen its border protection efforts through intelligence-driven operations, advanced screening technologies, and sustained coordination with partner law enforcement agencies in support of the government’s campaign against illegal drugs.

Funeral home, 40 other, face closure for Smoke-Free Ordinance violations

Baguio City

Baguio City / Street Journal

BAGUIO CITY, Philippines — A total of 41 establishments including a funeral home have been recommended for closure the Smoke-Free BaguioTask Force, due to repeated violations of the city’s Smoke-Free Ordinance, particularly City Ordinance No. 34, Series of 2017. Mayor Benjamin Magalong who heads the Smoke-Free BaguioTask Force said the establishments were identified as repeat offenders after repeatedly failing to comply with regulations aimed at protecting the public from exposure to tobacco smoke and other smoking-related products in prohibited areas. Magalong directed the city’s Permit and Licensing Division to take appropriate action against the establishments and implement the necessary closure procedures in accordance with the ordinance. Located in different parts of the city, the flagged establishments include 21 night restaurants and bars, nine sari-sari stores, five restaurant-cafes, three dry good stores, two entertainment centers and one memorial chapel. Ordinance No. 34, Series of 2017 prohibits the use, sale, distribution and advertisement of cigarettes, vapes and other tobacco products in all public places, enclosed spaces, public utility vehicles, streets, accommodation establishments (including apartments and hotels), entertainment venues and areas within 100 meters of parks, schools and churches. Individuals and establishments that violate or tolerate violations are subject to penalties. Individuals caught smoking in prohibited areas face a fine of P1,000 for the first offense, P2,000 for the second offense and P3,000 for the third offense. Third-time offenders may also face up to three months imprisonment at the discretion of the court, along with community service and confiscation of tobacco or vaping products. Establishments that fail to enforce the ordinance or repeatedly allow violations within their premises may be fined up to P5,000 and risk the revocation of their business permits. He said the strict enforcement of the Smoke-Free Ordinance is part of the local government’s continuing efforts to promote public health and maintain a healthy environment for residents and visitors. CITY TO INTENSIFY ANTI-VAPING CAMPAIGN AS CLASSES OPEN Meanwhile, Magalong has directed members of the SFBTF to launch a more aggressive and sustained campaign against vaping in line with the opening of classes in the city. He said efforts to enforce City Ordinance No. 34, Series of 2017 or the Smoke-Free Baguio Ordinance which covers vaping prohibition, although already being implemented continuously in the city, have to be stepped up further to make a lasting impact. The mayor emphasized that consistent enforcement would discourage the illegal sale of vape products in the city. He said sellers would eventually realize that operating in Baguio is no longer profitable if authorities maintain a strong and sustained campaign. “We will aim to make vape selling a non-profitable business in the city and evebtually permanently stop the operation of these sellers,” the mayor said. The task force said recent studies had shown that although smoking incidents had declined in the city, vape use had increased especially among the teens. City Health Services Office (CHSO) tobacco control coordinator Dr. Donna Panes said that in view of this, the city also needs to strengthen smoking and vaping cessation services, particularly for adolescents. Public Order and Safety Division Head Daryll Longid reported that daily apprehensions and operations are already being conducted by his team and other task force members but assured the mayor that enforcement efforts would be further intensified. Longid noted that Baguio is believed to be the only local government unit in the country without a legally operating vape shop after all such establishments were ordered closed in 2023. He said many vape sellers relocated to neighboring areas, particularly La Trinidad, but continue to target Baguio consumers through online platforms such as Facebook, Messenger, and TikTok. He emphasized the need for national government agencies to help regulate online sales, proposing the creation of an online reporting mechanism where citizens can report social media accounts engaged in selling vape products. Such reports could then be acted upon by agencies like the Department of Information and Communications Technology and the Department of Trade and Industry in coordination with social media platforms. Baguio City is widely regarded as a frontrunner in the country’s smoke-free and vape-free campaign, having implemented strict ordinances and enforcement measures aimed at protecting public health. Just recently, the city was invited to join the filing of the proposed Smoke-free and Vape-free Bill by Rep. Krisel Lagman in the House of Representatives. “This landmark legislative measure is a timely and necessary step towards nationalizing and strengthening the very protections that local government units like Baguio City have long worked hard to establish and sustain to protect public health and promote a smoke-free environment,” the mayor in his statement of support to the bill, said. – Aileen P.

Region 2 / Street Journal

By Rachel Magday NUEVA VIZCAYA, Philippines — Another 69 couples in Nueva Vizcaya who have been married for 50 years or more received P50,000 each from the provincial government under its Enduring Devotion Ordinance, bringing the total number of beneficiaries to 681 and the total disbursement to P34.05 million since the program was implemented. The latest distribution, totaling P3.45 million, was held yesterday at the Carlos M. Padilla Convention Center and was led by the Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office headed by Flordelina C. Granada. Granada said the recipients make up the 12th batch of beneficiaries of the program, which covers qualified couples from the different municipalities of the province. Granada added that the provincial government is continuously processing applications for the incentive, noting that another P10 million has been allocated to accommodate additional 2025 applications, an amount enough to cover 200 more qualified couples. Gov. Atty. Jose V. Gambito said the provincial government remains committed to sustaining the initiative, which he described as a tribute to couples who have shown enduring love and commitment. “We have already disbursed more than P30 million for this program. This is a significant amount, and while it could have been used for many other projects, I do not mind because this is more than a financial reward. It is the provincial government’s way of recognizing your lasting commitment, sacrifices and devotion to one another,” Gambito said. He said he hopes the program will inspire younger couples to nurture their relationships and remain committed to keeping their families intact. Gambito also reiterated his observation that many troubled children come from broken families, stressing the importance of strong and stable family relationships. Notably, Gov. Gambito and his wife, Beth, recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary making the program personally meaningful for the governor as the province continues to honor couples who have reached the same milestone. The beneficiaries expressed gratitude to the provincial government, saying the cash assistance would help them meet their daily expenses, particularly the purchase of maintenance medicines. The Enduring Devotion Ordinance, authored by then Board Member Patricio F. Dumlao Jr., grants P50,000 to couples who have been married for 50 years or more.The ordinance aims to recognize and honor couples who have stood the test of time and who serve as role models for younger generations.

Working Hand-in-Hand: Addressing The Philippine Learning Crisis Together

Lifestyle

Lifestyle / Street Journal

Over the years, Metrobank Foundation, Inc. (MBFI) and its partners have walked together with communities to meet the changing needs in the education sector. These efforts now align with the key priority areas (KPAs) identified by the Second Congressional Commission on Education (EDCOM II). Foundational Learning Functional literacy, or the ability to understand and apply what one reads, is essential to learning. When this is not developed early, students find it more difficult to succeed across subjects. Recognizing the importance of strong literacy skills in a child’s learning journey, MBFI partnered with Binhi English Literacy Foundation, Inc. to implement an after-school remediation program that helps kindergarten and Grade 1 learners strengthen their reading and comprehension skills. The program delivered strong learning gains, with kindergarten learners improving by an average of 63.6% and Grade 1 learners by 53.3%, both exceeding the 30% to 50% target. Learners developed key foundational skills such as letter recognition, phonics, spelling, and early writing. Another important building block of learning is numeracy. To help learners overcome fear and build confidence in working with numbers, MBFI launched the Metrobank Foundation SOLUTION (Support for Optimal Learning & Understanding To Improve Overall Numeracy) last year. It promotes learner-centered approaches that address gaps in numeracy, strengthen understanding, and reduce math anxiety. In its pilot implementation at San Miguel Heights Elementary School in Valenzuela, the program recorded strong results—achieving a 26% average increase in numeracy scores, with 95.4% of students showing improvement. It also helped reduce math anxiety among 64.2% of learners, alongside increased confidence and participation in class. Learning Resources and Equipment In many public schools, especially in remote areas, there is a shortage of basic learning materials and equipment. To help address this, the Foundation and its partners have provided learning kits, printed and digital modules, and equipment such as photocopiers, radios, and computers. In 2021, MBFI, in coordination with the Department of Education (DepEd), donated printers to 45 public schools in the School Divisions of Laguna, Iloilo, and Davao del Norte, as well as to selected schools in geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas (GIDA). To date, more than ₱8.4 million worth of learning equipment and supplies have been provided, enabling more effective teaching and expanding students’ access to learning materials. Learning Spaces Beyond learning materials, school facilities also play a key role in student learning. The Foundation supports the construction of classrooms, libraries, and reading spaces to improve learning conditions, including a ₱11.5 million pledge to DepEd this year for classrooms in last-mile schools. Safe and healthy school environments are also essential for consistent learning. In partnership with Radio Mindanao Network (RMN) Foundation, Manila Water Foundation, and World Vision Development Foundation, Inc. (WVDF), MBFI provided ₱1.8 million to build handwashing facilities in schools and communities nationwide, especially in underserved areas. These help promote better hygiene, reduce illness, and support regular school attendance. Teacher Empowerment The National Teachers’ Month (NTM) movement, led by the Foundation since its launch as the “Teachers’ Month Campaign” in 2008, continues to recognize the vital role of educators in nation-building. Through partner-led initiatives, it provides opportunities for recognition, engagement, and professional support. These efforts help sustain teacher morale and reinforce the importance of the teaching profession in improving learning outcomes. Supporting Priority Areas in Education While strengthening early literacy is a key focus, the Foundation’s efforts span the broader education system. It supports early childhood development through grants and feeding programs that help prepare children for school readiness, including nutrition interventions for pregnant and lactating mothers and children aged 0–5—grounded on the critical first 1,000 days of life for brain development and lifelong learning. Together with partners, these initiatives have benefited thousands of mothers and young learners. At the tertiary level, scholarship programs such as the Metrobank Scholarship Program continue to support college students through financial assistance and mentorship. For over 30 years, thousands of scholars have been supported, with 150 new scholarships to be awarded across 15 partner universities this school year. As the country confronts a deepening learning crisis, MBFI continues to work hand in hand with partners to deliver evidence-based solutions that empower learners, support teachers, and strengthen communities.
