  3. Philippines 2026 Foreign Tourist Arrivals Reach 4.11 Million as of August, U.S. and South Korea Remain Top Markets

    With the Peso performing terribly in the global currency market, weakening economic growth, high inflation and fears of an economic recession growing, 2026 has not been good for the Philippines. There is a bright spot in tourism, however, as the Philippines saw its 2026 foreign tourist arrivals reach 4.11 million in the January-August period and the United States and South Korea combined for more than 1.5 million tourist arrivals, according to a news article by the Philippine News Agency (PNA).

    To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news report of BusinessWorld. Some parts in boldface…

    The Philippines has recorded 4.11 million foreign arrivals from January to August, higher by 3.7 percent compared to the same period last year, the Department of Tourism (DOT) said on Tuesday.

    The United States posted the highest number of share at 818,318, followed by South Korea at 727,379, Japan at 350,191, China at 310,088, and Australia at 234,156.

    Also making it in the top 10 source markets are Canada with 231,972, Taiwan with 154,957, the United Kingdom with 132,370, Singapore with 126,812, and India with 77,883.

    Tourism Secretary Dita Angara-Mathay said the Philippines targets to surpass its 2025 arrival figures to reach between 6.4 million and 6.8 million, or at least 7 million, by the end of 2026.

    To achieve this, she said the DOT is intensifying its branding and promotions to reach more tourists in its key source markets.

    The DOT is also in active talks with airlines to open up and establish more chartered flights between the Philippines and secondary cities of Korea and China.

    DOT Assistant Secretary Ren Sapitan said the agency is also set to sign a contract with a creative agency in November to broaden the country’s marketing efforts and make the Philippines more visible worldwide.

    Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? Do you think the Philippines will be able to exceed the 2025 foreign tourist arrivals number by the end of this year? Do you think the DOT is doing a good job to strengthen the Philippines’ attraction of foreign tourists? Considering the Top 10 markets of foreign tourists the Philippines attracted so far, are you convinced that the nation’s hosting of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Summit did not create any positive tourism results?

  9. #Kommander on #BlakeChristian:
    First #Hurricanrana on #ZeroHour; and again! Then #Kommander on #LeeJohnston (last two were on the ring #apron: )

    Will there be more #rana?

    Yes.

    #Ricochet on #SwerveStrickland after #PrinceNana walked out on Swerve? (
    And a #PoisonRana from Ric 'O Shea again on "The Realest"

    #TreeOfWoe rana by #MariahMay on #ToniStorm as part of their gruesome "hollywood ending"

    Rana by the recently healed #KennyOmega on #KonosukeTakashita
    Much later in the same match was the event's second Poison Rana by Kenny on Konosuke

    Early in the #CageMatch, the #UK's #WillOspreay ranas former buddy #Australian #KyleFletcher (kayfabe: they're still friends for realz)
    Osprey later countered Kyle with the third poison rana of the night.
    And Osprey countered AGAIN with a regular rana.

    11 ranas so far...
    Just 1 shy of #Wwe's January #RoyalRumble and i doubt this upcoming main event will produce a rana.

  10. The greater stick-nest rat (Leporillus conditor) is munching through African boxthorns and nesting in the plant’s thickets.

    While this might not seem unusual, it is actually evidence of a native animal thriving off an invasive species.

  11. Assisted migration brought 127,000 people to Australia between 1832 and 1850 – about 70 per cent of all immigrants in that period.

    It continued at an even larger scale after the discovery of gold in 1851, and the 1850s brought 230,000 more assisted migrants to the country.

  12. Australia’s grey-headed flying-foxes (Pteropus poliocephalus) aren’t just adorable; they’re vital pollinators that disperse thousands of fruit seeds each night as they feed.

    But while they might seem to fill the skies at dusk, why are their numbers declining?

  14. Protecting #Activists from #AbusiveLitigation

    #SLAPPs in the #GlobalSouth and How to Respond

    PUBLISHED: JULY 2020

    "In #Thailand, an agricultural company files more than a dozen suits against at least 20 #defendants, targeting #workers, #journalists, and #activists who had spoken out against alleged #LaborAbuses at the company’s chicken farm. In #India, an association of #pesticide manufacturers brings a civil defamation suit against #journalists that had reported on the harmful #health and #environmental effects of pesticide use. In the #Philippines, a #mining company files suit against 85 defendants who had conducted a #PeacefulProtest near the company’s mining site, after the company’s own security forces used #lethal violence against the #protesters. In #SouthAfrica, an #Australian mining company files suit against environmental activists who had criticized a company mine during a lecture at a local university.

    What do these suits have in common? They are all “#SLAPPs,” or “Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation”: suits filed not to secure relief, but to use the risks and costs of litigation to defuse criticism and opposition and discourage the exercise of fundamental freedoms. SLAPPs have long been prevalent in the #Globa North, but SLAPPs are also being used in the Global South to silence activism.

    "In Protecting Activists from Abusive Litigation: SLAPPs in the Global South and How to Respond, ICNL presents the first cross-regional survey of SLAPPs in the Global South, along with the first rigorous comparative analysis of anti-SLAPP policy responses undertaken in the Global North and the Global South. Our survey shows that SLAPPs pose a serious threat to the exercise of fundamental freedoms in the Global South, particularly for activists, civil society organizations, journalists, and community members who dare to criticize powerful entities.

    "Our survey, which is far from comprehensive, has identified 82 reported SLAPPs filed in Thailand, India, the Philippines, and South Africa – the most fertile fields for Southern SLAPPs – as well as #Indonesia, #Malaysia, #Armenia, #SierraLeone, and #Honduras. Key features of SLAPPs in our sample include:

    - Half of the cases in our sample (41 cases) involved criminal proceedings.
    - The most frequent SLAPP targets in our sample were activists and civil society organizations (CSOs) (38 cases, or 46%); journalists and publishers (17 cases, or 21%); and leaders and members of local communities (15 cases, or 18%).
    - Nearly all of the cases in our sample – 75 cases, or 91% – were brought by private companies or company officials, with 34 of these cases (41%) brought by mining companies and 28 cases (34%) brought by companies associated with agricultural operations.

    "Where the cause of action or charge was reported, the suit was based at least in part on a defamation charge, either civil or criminal, in 66 of 75 cases (88%).

    "Of the 33 suits in our sample brought as civil actions, claims in 17 cases (52%) exceeded 1 million USD, with the average claim exceeding 10 million USD."
