Tensions escalated in the South China Sea after China warned the European Union to stop “provoking trouble” and stay out of its territorial disputes with the Philippines. The sharp rebuke followed EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas' visit to Manila, where she voiced concern over China's assertive actions. Beijing insisted the EU has no legal or diplomatic role in the matter, cautioning Manila not to rely on outside powers for resolution. The statement underscores China's hardened stance as geopolitical fault lines deepen in the contested maritime zone.

Tensions in the South China Sea have escalated sharply as China’s navy launched combat readiness patrols near the disputed Scarborough Shoal, a territory claimed by the Philippines.

In a stunning political twist, ex-President Rodrigo Duterte has been elected mayor of Davao City with over 662,000 votes—despite being jailed in The Hague over his brutal war on drugs. The crowd erupted as the ICC detainee was proclaimed victor, defeating Karlo Nograles in a landslide. Duterte’s return cements his family’s grip on power, with sons, grandsons, and allies sweeping key positions. But as he faces charges of crimes against humanity, the question remains: Can a man rule from a jail cell—and what does this mean for the Marcos-Duterte power feud?

In a dramatic political comeback, former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has clinched a landslide victory in Davao's mayoral race—despite being detained by the International Criminal Court (ICC) on charges of Murder as a crime against humanity. With 80% of votes counted, Duterte is winning by a margin of eight times over his closest rival. The ex-president’s arrest in March over his Bloody "war on drugs" crackdown only intensified support among his loyal base, with his old social media pages flooded with celebratory messages. If sworn in, Duterte would become the first former Asian head of state to hold office from ICC custody, while his sons also dominate local races
