The political war between the Marcos and Duterte dynasties has hit fever pitch as millions of Filipinos head to the polls in a high-stakes midterm election.
Impeached Vice President Sara Duterte fights for survival as the Senate vote could seal her political fate — while her father, former President Rodrigo Duterte, stuns the world by running for mayor of Davao City from jail in The Hague, where he faces crimes against humanity charges.

South China Sea Dispute: The U.S. Navy is aggressively expanding its presence in the Philippines by building new repair facilities for smaller vessels near the highly contested Second Thomas Shoal in the South China Sea. This strategic move intensifies regional tensions as it directly challenges China’s vast territorial claims despite international rulings against Beijing. The facilities, located in Palawan and Oyster Bay, are expected to support Philippine forces and bolster joint U.S.-Philippine military operations, signaling a strong pushback against China’s aggression. With clashes already frequent in the area, this escalation could reshape the balance of power in Southeast Asia.

Tensions rise in the South China Sea as a top U.S. Navy commander delivers a bold statement, declaring that China is facing increasing resistance from regional powers and that “no nation will surrender” to Beijing’s maritime ambitions. The remarks, seen as a direct warning to China, come amid a surge in joint naval drills, freedom of navigation operations, and growing pushback from countries like the Philippines, Vietnam, and Japan.

President Trump has issued new tariff letters to six more countries—Philippines, Brunei, Moldova, Algeria, Iraq, and Libya—via Truth Social, with 20–30% duties set to begin August 1. This follows his April plan to reset global trade, which was paused for 90 days. Trump warns rates may shift depending on diplomatic ties. With only two deals struck so far, the unilateral tariff campaign risks global retaliation and further disruption to supply chains amid rising trade tensions.

Japan is set to export six Abukuma-class destroyer escorts to the Philippines in a landmark move aimed at countering China’s growing aggression in the South China Sea. The aging destroyers, in service for over 30 years, will significantly boost the Philippines’ naval capabilities, which currently lack such firepower. Defense ministers from both nations agreed to the deal in Singapore last month. Tokyo will frame the upgrades as a joint development project to bypass Japan’s pacifist export rules. The Philippines will inspect the ships this summer. This strategic partnership comes amid intensifying maritime tensions, as both Tokyo and Manila face growing challenges from Beijing’s territorial claims. The deal marks a new chapter in Asia-Pacific military realignment and is expected to draw a sharp response from China.

The United States has abruptly paused deliveries of key military aid—air defence ammunition, missiles, and artillery shells—to Ukraine under Trump’s “America First” doctrine. Ukrainian MPs blasted this move, insisting “the United States is no longer our ally.” Mariana Bezuglaya and Solomiya Bobrovskaya accused the administration of sidelining Kyiv, even summoning the US chargé d’affaires to demand resumed support. President Trump told Zelensky at The Hague that US systems are “very hard to get” and prioritized for national and Israeli defense. Meanwhile, Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell confirmed a “capability review” to align aid with US interests. Kiev warns that this retrenchment could empower Russian advances toward Dnipro and Sumy, diminishing Ukraine’s defence. Moscow, unburdened, claims strategic initiative on the frontline. The aid suspension represents a major shift in US foreign policy and risks weakening Ukraine’s resistance as the war grinds on.

At NATO’s 2025 summit in The Hague, U.S. President Donald Trump hijacked the global stage — demanding 5% defense spending, mocking Iran and Israel as “kids in a schoolyard,” and claiming NATO leaders secretly praise him.
But the real shock? NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte calling Trump a “truly extraordinary peacemaker” — even repeating the bizarre line:
“Daddy, you’re my daddy.”
European diplomats were stunned, embarrassed, and silent — as Trump turned a strategic summit into a personal victory lap.
Critics say the event was scripted to feed Trump’s ego, not focus on Ukraine, Iran, or NATO’s long-term survival.
So… is NATO collapsing under political flattery? Or is Trump just reshaping it on his own terms?

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has issued a brutal call for justice, demanding Russian President Vladimir Putin be tried as a war criminal for the 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Speaking before the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, Zelensky signed a landmark accord to establish a special tribunal to prosecute top Russian officials for crimes of aggression. Zelensky didn’t hold back: “The Hague is waiting. Hunt every war criminal – start with Putin.” The move sends a powerful signal to Moscow – that international justice is coming, and accountability will not be avoided.
Will Europe and the international community back the tribunal? And how will Russia respond to this unprecedented legal offensive?
Watch the full report and analysis. Justice is no longer a question — it’s a promise.

Senator Lindsey Graham reveals that a sweeping new Senate sanctions bill is on the brink of passage, offering President Trump a “sledgehammer” to punish not only Russia but also its key global allies like China, India, and Brazil. The legislation empowers Trump to levy up to 500% in tariffs on any nation that continues trading with Moscow — a dramatic escalation in US policy that could reshape global trade dynamics.
Graham predicts “maximum flexibility” for presidential enforcement and signals an imminent surge in military aid to Ukraine, funded by frozen Russian assets. While Moscow dismisses the move as futile and claims it merely fuels Russia’s independence, the US plans to ratchet up pressure if diplomatic efforts falter. As this bold strategy takes shape, the world braces for a seismic shift in economic warfare.

Vice President J.D. Vance cast the tie-breaking vote in the Senate to pass Trump’s controversial "One Big, Beautiful Bill" after a night of intense Republican negotiations. The bill, which faced opposition over Medicaid and food stamp cuts, nearly failed due to concerns from Senator Lisa Murkowski. Trump, in Florida visiting the Alligator Alcatraz Detention Center, received the news mid-trip. Vance declared it a “big win,” while critics, including Elon Musk and Democrats, called it disastrous. Musk has even threatened to form a new party in protest.

Senate narrowly rejected an amendment to fund Planned Parenthood, with a 49–51 vote. Demonstrators rallied in cities like Anaheim, California, demanding Congress defund the program. Pro-life advocate Lila Rose urged mass support for ending Medicaid funding. Meanwhile, Sen. Patty Murray criticized the bill, which could block reimbursement for cancer screenings and other non-abortion services. A recent Supreme Court ruling has empowered states to cut off Medicaid to Planned Parenthood, potentially closing 200 clinics and affecting millions of low-income Americans.
