Hi there. Trump is back as US President

Donald Trump, 78, has been elected president, capping a remarkable comeback four years after he was voted out of the White House and ushering in a new American leadership likely to test democratic institutions at home and relations abroad.

What now for the world? America's friends and foes alike remain wary as they await Trump's return to office, wondering whether his second term will be filled with the kind of turbulence and unpredictability that characterized his first four years.

Seven officials of the Office of the Vice President who have been snubbing the House inquiry into the alleged misuse of government funds in 2022-2023 have been placed on an immigration lookout bulletin order, according to the Justice department.

Following Pagasa's raising of storm warning signals in northern Luzon due to the approaching new Typhoon "Marce," President Marcos on Wednesday directed all concerned government agencies to be on high alert for the storm's impact.

Guess who's coming to town? Tesla Motors, the Elon Musk-led company that produces zero-emission vehicles, is opening on Friday the first Tesla Showroom Flagship Experience Center in the country, after ones in Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand.

The Untouchables

Everything has been going well in National University's (NU) redemption bid in the UAAP Season 87 women's basketball tournament. Perfectly well, in fact. And heading into the homestretch of the elimination round, it looks like nothing can stop the Lady Bulldogs from pulling off a sweep after they repeated over University of Santo Tomas, the very side that ended National U's seven-year reign last season and consensus biggest threat.
