Israel strikes Gaza, UN voices grave concern I

SRAEL has kept up its strikes against Gaza targets despite grave concern expressed by the United Nations, which named a coordinator for desperately needed humanitarian aid.

The Israeli army said it struck military sites and tunnel shafts in Jabalia, northern Gaza, and Khan Yunis in the south, as heavy ground combat continued.Manila Incidents linked to Iran-backed groups in the Red Standard TODAY Sea, on the Lebanese border and in Iraq added to regional tensions surrounding the war. Black smoke clouded the sky over central Gaza on Tuesday afternoon and, in the south, horse-drawn carts carried some victims to hospital in Khan Yunis, AFP images showed. The bloodiest-ever Gaza war erupted when Hamas gunmen attacked Israel on October 7 and killed about 1,140 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on Israeli figures. During the attack -- the deadliest in Israel’s history -- Hamas took around 250 hostages of whom

129 remain inside Gaza, Israel says. Israel retaliated with a relentless bombardment and a siege followed by a ground invasion. The campaign has killed at least 20,915 people, mostly women and children, according to the latest toll issued Tuesday by Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry. Gaza’s 2.4 million people are suffering dire shortages of water, food, fuel and medicine, with only limited aid entering. The UN Security Council last week, in a resolution that did not call for an immediate end to fighting, sought “safe and unhindered delivery of humanitarian assistance at scale.” It requested the appointment of a UN humanitarian coordinator to oversee and verify third-country aid to Gaza. On Tuesday (Wednesday in Manila) the UN

Seoul sanctions Pyongyang spy chief for illicit cyber activities SEOUL – South Korea has sanctioned the head of North Korea’s intelligence agency over illicit cyber activities following Pyongyang’s recent launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile, Seoul’s foreign ministry said Wednesday. Pyongyang is already under international sanctions for its atomic bomb and ballistic missile programs, which have seen rapid progress under North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. The announcement came weeks after Seoul, Tokyo and Washington launched new threeway initiatives encompassing measures to address North Korea’s cybercrime, cryptocurrency, and money laundering activities, which are believed to fund the country’s nuclear and missile programs. Ri Chang Ho, the head of Pyongyang’s Reconnaissance General Bureau, has been sanctioned for his involvement in “earning foreign currency through illegal cyber activities and technology theft”, Seoul’s foreign ministry

said in a statement. His activities have contributed to “generating revenue for the North Korean regime and procuring funds for its nuclear and missile activities,” it added. Ri heads the agency that is believed to be the parent organization for North Korean hacking groups Kimsuky, Lazarus and Andariel, which have been previously sanctioned by Seoul. Along with Ri, Seoul has sanctioned seven other North Korean individuals, including former China-based diplomat Yun Chol, for being involved in the “trade of lithium-6, a nuclearrelated mineral and UN-sanctioned material for North Korea”. The blacklisted individuals are barred from conducting foreign exchange and financial transactions with South Korean nationals without prior authorization from Seoul, measures that analysts say are primarily symbolic given the extremely limited trade between the two countries.

Blinken seeks way forward in Mexico on migration issue, hoping for headway WASHINGTON, DC – Secretary of State Antony Blinken heads Wednesday (Thursday in Manila) to Mexico in hopes of showing headway in tackling surging migration, which has climbed to the top of political headaches for President Joe Biden as he enters an election year. The unusual Christmas week trip by the top US diplomat was abruptly scheduled as the rival Republican Party presses Biden for a migration crackdown in return for agreeing in Congress to one of his key priorities -- support for Ukraine. Around 10,000 people have been seeking to enter without authorization each day on the southern US border, nearly double the number before the pandemic, with a new caravan of hundreds if not thousands of people leaving by foot from southern Mexico on Sunday. US border authorities have been so over-

Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador discussed migration in a telephone call Thursday with Biden, who agreed to send Blinken, who is accompanied by Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas and White House migration official Liz Sherwood. Lopez Obrador told reporters Friday that Mexico would “reinforce our plans” to deal with US-bound migrants -- few of whom are Mexicans -- after his government also said it was at the breaking point on enforcement. State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said the US delegation would speak to Lopez Obrador on the “urgent need for lawful pathways and additional enforcement actions” on migration. AFP

A parcel of land located at Palo, Leyte, in the name of the decedent with fair market value of Two Million Four Hundred Seventy-Seven Thousand Eight Hundred Pesos (Php 2,477,800.00).

It appears that the Testator’s Will was left in the custody of her remaining living son, Augusto Juan P. Gonzalez, who lived in the same household as the Testator. However, Augusto died in 2021. It was only upon Augusto’s death that the Testator’s Will was found among his belongings by herein Petitioner, one of the Testator’s Grandchildren. Not being aware of the requirements of law, it is only recently that the subject Will was brought to the attention of the other heirs, and the advice and services of the undersigned counsel/s were secured for appropriate action. In the Will, Gloria Natividad Gonzalez Sena is named as the executor and that in case Gloria Sena becomes incapacitated to perform her duties as such, the Testator’s granddaughter, Andrea Marie G. Sena, shall be her substitute. Unfortunately, the name executor and her named substitute are not residents of the Philippines and, pursuant to Rule 78, Section 1 of the Rules of Court, are therefore incompetent to execute the duties of an executor. Considering that the named executor and her substitute are both incompetent to perform the duties of an executor, herein Petitioner Angelique Gonzalez, likewise next of kin and a devisee named in the Will, prays that she be appointed as executor and letters testamentary and/or of administration be granted in her favor pursuant to Section 6(a) of Rule 78 of the Rules of Court. WHEREFORE, finding the petition to be sufficient in form and substance, let this case be set for hearing on February 6, 2024 at 1:30 in the afternoon before this Court located at Room 703, 7th Floor, Hall of Justice, Diliman, Quezon City, at which place and on which date and time, any person who has objections to the petition may appear and file his opposition thereto. Let a copy of this Order be published, at the expense of the petitioner, once a week for three (3) consecutive weeks in a newspaper of general circulation throughout the Philippines, chosen by raffle. Further, let a copy of this Order and the Petition, with its annexes, be served by registered mail upon the known heirs, legatees, devisees and the creditors of the deceased, Natividad Gloria Perez Gonzalez, at their respective addresses. SO ORDERED. July 25, 2023, Quezon City.
