Banner StoryDrilon: P-Noy’s death can reshape 2022 raceThe death of former President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III, who is widely seen to have left a legacy of honest governance, is bound to reshape the 2022 elections and could be a positive driver for the scattered forces opposing the Duterte administration, Senate Minority Leader Franklin Drilon said on Sunday. But whether such influence bodes well or ill for the nation will depend on the electorate, he said. “Certainly, if it would have an effect, it will be positive for the opposition because people would realize and begin to look inward,” Drilon told the Inquirer in a phone interview. Aquino, 61, the country’s 15th president, died on Thursday due to renal disease secondary to diabetes. An urn containing his cremated remains was interred two days later beside the tombs of his parents, the late President Corazon Aquino and the late Sen. Benigno “Ninoy’’ Aquino Jr., at Manila Memorial Park in Parañaque City. His sudden demise sent shock waves across a highly polarized nation that, over recent years, seemed to split itself into two unyielding ideological camps—the Dilawans (“Yellows,” or Aquino followers) versus the DDS (Diehard Duterte Supporters)—that spar over who has done the most for the Philippines. Drilon, a vice president of the Liberal Party (LP) that Aquino once chaired, said he shared Inquirer columnist Randy David’s hope that the former president’s death “will fuel a powerful drive for the return of decency, dignity and diligence in government.” “The best we can do is profit from [Aquino’s] good example,” Sen. Risa Hontiveros told reporters on Thursday.

Nokia and Vodafone Turkey trial first intercontinental Terabit IP link
- Milestone links Asia and Europe IP traffic in a single 1T clear channel to help prepare operator's network for the future
28 June 2021
Espoo, Finland – Nokia today announced it has successfully completed a trial with Vodafone Turkey, linking Asia and Europe with the first intercontinental 1T (terabit) clear-channel IP interface. The network capacity milestone is part of an ongoing modernization effort to future-proof Vodafone Turkey's IP architecture.
Changing internet traffic patterns from consumers, home workers and businesses are pushing the capacity limits of operators' networks. As they look to combine gigabit capable fixed and wireless access technologies, the IP networks that carry this broadband traffic need to scale to keep up.
Using Nokia's 7950 XRS routers with terabit interfaces powered by Nokia's FP4 chipset, the two companies could scale up the capacity of Vodafone Turkey's IP network in support of next generation applications and access technologies. Nokia's FP4 terabit linecard offers two 1T ports and demonstrated deployment readiness by carrying test traffic on Vodafone Turkey's network. Besides a 10x boost in capacity, terabit IP links simplify operational complexity and cost overhead by avoiding the need to distribute terabit flows on high capacity routes over multiple lower rate interfaces in link aggregation groups.
The trial is part of an ongoing modernization effort to transform Vodafone Turkey's IP network. Nokia is delivering a multi-access mobile transport architecture that will enable the operator to evolve its transport infrastructure in a changing industry. Nokia's 7250 IXR interconnect router and FP4-based 7750 Service Router portfolios have already been deployed for the delivery of high capacity, low latency 5G services to Vodafone Turkey's customers. Nokia's platforms support the features and protocols that will enable SDN control automation and optimization of applications and use cases.
Thibaud Rerolle, CTO, at Vodafone Turkey, said: "As we ramp up our delivery of new services, we are committed to providing the best possible quality of experience to our customers. We continue to rely on Nokia to evolve our IP network with industry-leading router innovation and technology to address our needs today and for next generation services."
Vach Kompella, Head of IP Networks Division, Nokia, said: "Today's IP networks are expected to handle hundreds of new applications and services for millions of users. The 1T trial builds upon Nokia's advanced routing technology and platforms to future-proof Vodafone Turkey's IP network, which serves one of the world's largest intercontinental markets. Together we have successfully validated Nokia's FP4 based 1T clear channel interface across Asia and Europe."
