MANILA, Philippines - Joining dozens of others who have signified their

intention to run for president in 2016, Sen. Miriam Defensor-Santiago said
yesterday she is in the pink of health and ready to take another crack at
the highest position of the land barring another bout of cancer.
Santiago made the announcement at a signing event for her new
book Stupid is Forevermore at the National Book Store in Makati.
If I become president sometime in the near future, the country will
be much better than it was before, Santiago told those present.
Asked after the event if she is 100 percent sure of running for
president next year, Santiago said, Unless I get struck by another bout of
cancer, but it doesnt happen that often.
I will run because Ive already gotten over my bout of the cancer
and theres nothing left to do, she said.
I can apply for a job abroad like the one I lost because of my
cancer, but I think since I have served the government from the very
beginning, I will end my career here, she added.

Dutch Safety Board: Buk missile

downed MH17 in Ukraine

GILZE-RIJEN AIR BASE A missile launched from rebel-held Ukraine

ripped the cockpit from Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, Dutch investigators
reported yesterday, adding that some passengers may have remained
conscious for another minute or so as the airflow tore off their clothes and
objects spinning through the cabin killed people in neighboring seats.
The investigators said in their final report that the Buk missile that downed
the Boeing 777 exploded less than a meter from the cockpit, killing the two
pilots and the purser inside in an instant and breaking off the front of the
plane. While some of the passengers may have been conscious in the up
to 90 seconds it took to hit the ground, they probably were not fully aware
of what was happening amid the oxygen-starved, freezing chaos.
The tragedy that killed all 298 people aboard the flight from Amsterdam to
Kuala Lumpur wouldn't have happened if the airspace of eastern Ukraine
had been closed to passenger planes as fighting raged below, the Dutch
Safety Board added.
"Our investigation showed that all parties regarded the conflict in eastern

part of Ukraine from a military perspective. Nobody gave any thought of a

possible threat to civil aviation," Safety Board chairman Tjibbe Joustra
said.

The report did not consider who launched the missile. However, it identified
an area of 320 square kilometers from which the launch must have taken
place. All the territory within the area was in rebel separatist hands at the
time of the crash, according to daily maps of fighting released by the
Ukrainian National Security Council.
The Netherlands has headed the investigation into the disaster because
196 victims on the flight were Dutch, and Ukraine agreed to let the
Netherlands take the lead role. It is also leading a separate criminal
investigation into the crash.

Azkals enjoying top form in World Cup

bid

MANAMA With solid performances in the initial phase of

hostilities, Azkals coach Thomas Dooley expressed confidence his wards
can still give out more and level up heading into the homestretch of the
Fifa World Cup qualifiers second-round play.
Except for their disappointing showing in a 1-5 setback to top-ranked
Uzbekistan, the Azkals have put up a generally good run in the first stage
of the double round-robin, home-and-away Group H, logging seven points
and staying within striking distance of North Korea (10) and Uzbekistan
(seven).
The first-go showed the Pinoy booters chalking up victories over
Bahrain (2-1 in Bulacan) and Yemen (2-0 in the Yemenis designated home
ground in Qatar) and coming through with a gutsy 0-0 draw with leader
North Korea before a 50,000-strong hostile crowd in Pyongyang last week.
Im not surprised that the team is in this position now, said Dooley.
We still can improve and play to a higher level if we can get the
details right in terms of preparations, structure, he added.
The Azkals were gunning for another victory against Bahrain last
night at the Bahrain National Stadium here and solo second going to their
remaining assignments against Yemen next month and Uzbekistan and
North Korea in March 2016.

CARSON, California - Nasa tamang kondisyon na si WBO light-flyweight

champion Donnie Nietes at ang iba pang Filipino boxers para sa kanilang
mga laban sa Oktubre 17.
Ilang rounds na sparring lamang ang ginawa ni Nietes laban kay
Filipino-American Brian Viloria na may malaking laban din sa Linggo sa
New York City.
Okay naman ang sparring, wika ni Nietes, tatlong beses nang
nakasama si Viloria sa training camp.
Sinabi pa ni Nietes na tatlong beses na silang nag-spar ni Viloria
sapul nang dumating siya rito noong Oktubre 1.
Malaking tulong sa akin yung sparring sessions, sabi ng 33-anyos
na si Nietes, isusugal ang suot na WBO light-flyweight crown at ang
kanyang reputasyon bilang longest-reigning Filipino champion laban kay
Juan Alejo ng Mexico sa Linggo.
Ang nasabing title fight nina Nietes at Alejo ang main event sa Pinoy
Pride 33 Philippines vs the World sa StubHub Center, ang tahanan ng
Los Angeles Galaxy na dating nagparada kay star David Beckham.

Flight attendant na kumuha ng

picture ni Alden na natutulog
inireklamo, sinuspinde?

MARAMI ang nalungkot sa balitang magsasampa raw ng reklamo ang

GMA 7 laban sa flight attendant ng isang airline na kinunan ng picture si Alden
Richards habang natutulog.
Itoy matapos ngang padalhan ng legal notice ng Kapuso network ang
Cebu Pacific na pinaglilingkuran ng nasabing flight attendant dahil sa invasion of
privacy.
Sa nasabing larawan, makikita si Alden na natutulog habang nakaturo ang
isang lalaking flight attendant sa kanya. Isa pang babaeng flight attendant ang
kasama sa larawan.
Ang balita humingi na rin naman daw ng sorry ang flight attendant at
tinanggal na niya ang larawan mula sa kanyang social media account.
Ang chika pa ay binigyan na rin ng leksyon ng airline ang flight attendant.
Binigyan daw ito ng anim na araw na suspensyon.
Sa isang blog site na adobotalkph.com, iniulat nito na nagpaliwanag ang
flight attendant na kinilala nito bilang isang Justin.
Ayon sa ulat, wala umano siyang intensyon na siraan o ma-offend ang
artista. Hindi na raw niya hinintay pang magising ang aktor para makahingi ng
permiso na makunan siya ng larawan dahil tiyak na magmamadali itong lumabas
ng eroplano para hindi dumugin ng mga pasahero na makakakilala sa kanya at
magpapa-picture.
