Last ‘SONA’ Of President Duterte Frustrates The Protesters
President Rodrigo Duterte's final State of the Nation Address (SONA) was met with protests in Quezon City, Philippines. Protesters expressed their dissatisfaction with Duterte's unfulfilled promises and his administration's focus on a drug campaign that resulted in over 12,000 deaths and the red-tagging of critics. Human Rights Watch reported police falsification of evidence in these killings. The national budget prioritized the drug campaign over education, and anti-terrorist efforts led to the silencing of critics. Indigenous groups, such as the Lumads, faced displacement and destruction of their schools.

Philippine Cybersex 'Dens' Are Making It Too Easy To Exploit Children
The Philippines is experiencing a rise in cybersex trafficking, with a disturbing increase in the sexual abuse of children on streaming sites. Authorities and NGOs, including the International Organisation for Migration and the Philippine National Police Anti Cybercrime Group, are struggling to combat this crime, which is facilitated by internet accessibility and livestream technology. The International Justice Mission found that cybersex trafficking victims are often very young, with 54% being 12 years old or younger. The motivation behind this exploitation is poverty, and efforts are being made to criminalize the act of accessing live streams of underage sex, particularly targeting buyers in the West.

Deadly Philippine bombing exposes weakness in intel gathering: Military spokesman
A bombing during a Catholic Mass in Marawi city, Philippines, which resulted in four deaths, has highlighted deficiencies in the Philippine military's intelligence capabilities. The attack, claimed by Islamic State extremists, was a response to military offensives against militants. Two Filipino suspects, Kadapi Mimbesa and Arsani Membisa, have been identified. Despite previous awareness of potential attacks, the military admitted to limitations in covering all activities in Mindanao. Officials, including Armed Forces spokesman Col. Medel Agular and former national police chief Sen. Ronald dela Rosa, acknowledged the need for enhanced intelligence and security preparations. The suspects are linked to the Daulah Islamiyah, a local IS affiliate, and are residents of Marawi.

Wives, Widows, and Mothers: The New Faces of Violent Extremism in the Philippines
The article discusses the increasing involvement of women in violent extremism in the Philippines, highlighting incidents such as the twin suicide bombings at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Cathedral in Jolo and subsequent attacks believed to be carried out by widows of militants. Experts like Dr. Rommel C. Banlaoi and Dr. Anne Speckhard provide insights into why women are becoming more active in terrorism, citing factors such as gender stereotypes and the failure of men in achieving desired results. The article also touches on the broader context of radicalization in Mindanao, the historical grievances of Muslim Filipinos, and the socio-economic factors contributing to the rise in extremism. Additionally, it discusses the controversial Anti-Terrorism Act of 2020 in the Philippines, which has been criticized for potentially undermining human rights. The article concludes with a warning from Banlaoi that more women-led suicide missions are expected in the region.
