North Cotabato on alert vs. BIFF
Santiago brawls on Enrile over pork mess SENATOR Miriam Defensor Santiago accused her political enemy, Sen. Juan Ponce Enrile, of diverting public outrage over his alleged plunder by fuelling the privilege speech of Sen. Jinggoy Estrada last Wednesday, and by financing the Zamboanga rebellion, which has reportedly cost P40 million. “Enrile is so desperate that he is like a crocodile, who has left his maritime kingdom and is flapping around on land, still hoping to kill his prey. I am morally convinced of his culpability in trashing the COA and its chair, as well as in engulfing Zamboanga City in an expensive rebellion,” she said. Santiago was keynote speaker at the annual post- paraffin test. Policemen conduct paraffin test Thursday morning on captured Moro National Liberation graduate course of the Front (MNLF) rebels involved in the standoff in Zamboanga City.

Hackers attack Manila broadsheet’s website
A Manila broadsheet newspaper’s website almost shut down due to a barrage of bogus page-requests, in a “distributed denial of service” (DDoS) attack on September 13, the Center for Media Freedom and Responsibility (CMFR) reported yesterday. The attackers also exploited vulnerabilities of the news website’s content management system (WordPress), to
redirect requests for news reports and opinion articles to a porn site, which resulted in Google and Facebook’s marking the web-pages as malicious spam and banning the web-pages from being shared. Writers for the broadsheet pointed out that the “cyber-attack” happened the day after an opinion column critical of the Philippine president was published.
A presidential spokesperson denied that the President’s communication team was behind the attack. Manila Standard Today (MST) online editor Christian Cardiente said the cyber-attacks that started on Friday (September 13) were not the first the site had experienced, but were more intense.
