The Philippine National Police (PNP) is starting its crackdown on users and producers of fake vaccination cards that could be in-demand ahead of the implementation of the “no vaccination, no ride” policy in Metro Manila on Monday, Jan. 17, 2022.

And to further bolster the people’s ammunition against the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) is supporting the manufacture of nasal inhalers and mouth wash that would be virgin coconut oil (VCO)-based.

Four members of the notorious Dawlah Islamiyah terror group, who were believed responsible for a recent bomb attack on a passenger bus in Aleosan, Cotabato, were killed in an encounter with government forces in Carmen town.

These are among the top stories this Sunday morning, Jan. 16, 2022.
