SALVAGE OPERATION A farmer on Wednesday tries to save whatever is left of his abaca plants in San Miguel, Catanduanes, a few days after Supertyphoon "Pepito" (Man-yi) battered the island province.

Hi there. Romualdez tells Sara: Explain confidential fund use yourself

Still no end in sight for the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, with the US on Wednesday vetoing a Security Council resolution calling for an "immediate, unconditional and permanent" ceasefire in the bloody 13-month conflict.

How do you solve a problem like Donald Trump? Former German Chancellor Angela Merkel writes in her memoir that she sought advice from Pope Francis on dealing with the volatile US leader. The pope's advice: "Bend, bend, bend, but make sure it doesn't break."
