Philstar.com / Fle MANILA, Philippines — The Manila court has dismissed the government’s proscription petition against the Communist Party of the Philippines and the New People’s Army under the now-repealed Human Security Act of 2007. Manila Regional Trial Court Branch 19 Presiding Judge Marlo Magdoza-Malagar dismissed the petition filed by the Department of Justice that asked the court to declare the CPP and its armed wing, NPA, as terrorist groups under Section 17 of Republic Act 9372 or the Human Security Act of 2007 in April 2018. The HSA has since been repealed by the Anti-Terrorism Act of 2020, under which the CPP-NPA are “designated” as terrorists.

Stock photo shows a woman on a laptop showing "fake news." memyselfaneye / Pixabay MANILA, Philippines (Updated 3:25 p.m.) — Sen. Jinggoy Estrada has filed a bill that seeks to make creating and spreading “fake news” a crime punishable under the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012. Under Senate Bill No. 1296, Estrada defines fake news as “misinformation and disinformation of stories, facts and news which is presented as a fact, the veracity of which cannot be confirmed, with the purpose of distorting the truth and misleading its audience.” “Ang mga clickbaits, propaganda at pagmamanipula ng mga lehitimong news segments para makapagpalaganap ng kasinungalingan, maling balita o disinformation ay pangkaraniwan na ngayon kaya mahirap na matukoy kung alin ang totoo sa mga pekeng balita. Masyado ng talamak ang mga ito,” Estrada said in a statement. (Clickbaits, propaganda and manipulating legitimate news segments to spread lies, false news or disinformation is now common which is why it’s hard to determine what is true from fake news. This is too chronic.) Full Story: https://www.philstar.com/headlines/2022/09/22/2211485/senate-bill-wants-make-spreading-fake-news-crime -- © Copyright Philstar 2022-09-22

Philstar.com / Jazmin Tabuena MANILA, Philippines (Updated 3:02 p.m.) — In dismissing the Department of Justice’s proscription petition against the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People's Army, the Manila court warned against the dangers of red-tagging groups or activists that are simply airing concerns on their specific advocacies or to how the government is running the nation. The Manila Regional Trial Court Branch 19 in a decision dated September 21, signed by Presiding Judge Marlo Magdoza-Malagar, said membership in national democratic mass organizations (NDMOs) does not automatically mean that the individual is also part of underground illegal movements or even the CPP-NPA. “Members of NDMOs espouse valid societal change, without necessarily giving through to ‘armed struggle’ or ‘violence’ aimed at overthrowing the government, as a means to achieve the same,” its decision read.

See Thailand Through These Colorful Expressions Like with every language, there are a few Thai idioms that might get lost in translation. Full Story: https://aseannow.com/topic/1272627-see-thailand-through-these-colorful-expressions/

Like with every language, there are a few Thai idioms that might get lost in translation. For instance, pak chee roy na (ผักชีโรยหน้า) or “ sprinkle cilantro on top” describes a gimmicky attempt to make something look good (e.g., with a garnish) without doing anything substantive to fix the problem (e.g., how the dish tastes). Idioms are a reflection of the culture. In Thailand, they speak to our way of life, where we come from, and our worldview. Let’s dig deeper into the history, beliefs, and traditions that have led to some of the Thai language’s most colorful sayings. Idioms based in religion If it wasn’t obvious from the sheer number of temples scattered across the country, many Thais identify as Buddhist, and that’s created some peculiar sayings surrounding this major religion. “You could say it with a Buddhist amulet in your mouth.” Om pra ma pood (อมพระมาพูด) Example: This is the fourth time you’ve lied to me about your mother being sick. You could say it with a Buddhist amulet in your mouth, and I still wouldn’t believe you. Source: Oasishifi / Shutterstock.com When you’ve lost all trust in someone, this saying comes in handy. Like swearing on the Bible before testifying, a Thai person might swear on a sacred talisman or amulet when trying to convince someone of their truthfulness. But when someone has a reputation for dishonesty, they could swear on a Buddhist amulet (????????), and you still wouldn’t believe them. “You could say it with a Buddhist amulet in your mouth” is a hyperbolic expression of skepticism, sometimes said in its entirety as, “You could say it with a Buddhist amulet in your mouth, and I still wouldn’t believe you.” “Paste gold leaf onto the back of a Buddha statue.” Bhid thong lang pra (ปิดทองหลังพระ) Example: Our elderly neighbor has a knee problem, so our father has been secretly taking her trash to the dumpster every morning so she doesn’t have to. He’s pasting gold on the back of a Buddha statue. Source: Virojt Changyencham / Shutterstock.com When praying to a Buddha statue at a Thai temple, many people will make a small donation to receive a bit of gold leaf. This gold leaf can be pressed onto the Buddha statue as a kind of merit-making activity. Over time, the Buddha statue—usually made from bronze—is gilded from head to toe in glittering gold leaf, the cumulative result of hundreds if not thousands of temple-goers. Well, not quite head to toe. Sometimes there’s a patch of bronze left on the back of the statue facing the wall, which few temple-goers might ever venture to see. Afterall, if no one will see the back, why bother putting your gold there? Therefore, the saying “paste gold leaf onto the back of a Buddha statue” is a way to praise people who do good deeds without expecting praise or attention or that go unseen or unrecognized. “There’s more than one Buddhist Holy Day.” Wan pra mai dai mee hon diew (วันพระไม่ได้มีหนเดียว) Example: My son didn’t get a callback interview, but there’s more than one Buddhist Holy Day. He’s just gotta keep applying. Source: BG Plus2 / Shutterstock.com The Buddhist Holy Day or Wan Phra is observed four times a month. Similar to how many Christians go to church on Sunday, Buddhists mark this day by participating in religious activities, such as merit-making, listening to Buddhist sermons, or adhering to certain religious precepts such as abstaining from alcohol or animal products. The holy day has come to symbolize an auspicious occasion, a favorable opportunity, and luck. Hence, to say “there’s more than one Buddhist Holy Day” is used to cheer someone up, as if to say, “better luck next time.” Elephants, dancers, and farmers From elephants to rice farming, Thai idioms are like a trail of breadcrumbs pointing to its way of life. While some of these expressions may sound curious to foreign ears, they are packed with imagery. “That’s like riding an elephant to catch a grasshopper.” Ki chang jab thakathaan (ขี่ช้างจับตั๊กแตน) Example: I cannot believe Somkiet called a professional electrician to change a lightbulb. That’s like riding an elephant to catch a grasshopper. Source: Oriol Querol / Shutterstock.com Thailand has a deep relationship with its national animal, so much so that the country celebrates a National Elephant Day. Because of their size and strength, elephants have been part of ancient Thai transportation, commerce, and warfare. “That’s like riding an elephant to catch a grasshopper” refers to when the solution is overkill and someone over-invests resources for insignificant tasks. This idiom is similar to “killing a fly with an elephant gun,” which implies a much different relationship with elephants. “A bad dancer blames the flutes and drums.” Ram mai dee toed bhee toed glong (รำไม่ดีโทษปี่โทษกลอง) Example: Whenever Araya loses at badminton, she claims there’s something wrong with the shuttlecock. A bad dancer always blames the flutes and drums. Source: M2020 / Shutterstock.com We’ve all met someone who just never owns up to their mistakes. They’re always blaming the traffic for being late or a coworker for their own poor job performance. The next time your friend is blatantly refusing to take responsibility, hit them with this saying. “A bad dancer always blames flutes and drums” specifically evokes traditional Thai folk dancing, which is often accompanied by Thai woodwinds (bhee) and drums (glong). This is comparable to the expression (????????), “A bad workman always blames his tools.” “To grow rice off other people’s backs.” Tam na bon lang kon (ทำนาบนหลังคน) Example: My manager is growing rice off other people’s backs. He takes credit for everything the team does right, but blames us for everything that goes wrong. Source: Mazur Travel / Shutterstock.com Rice farming is a huge part of Thai agriculture, so there’s no surprise to hear a few sayings related to Thailand’s biggest crop. In fact, many Thai children are taught to clean their plate and not leave even a single grain of rice, lest they disrespect the backbreaking labor that goes into growing rice. “To grow rice off other people’s backs” means to shamelessly profit at the expense of others or exploit other people’s efforts for personal gain. “To live off the backs of (someone)” would be the closest comparison. Overlapping expressions English speakers learning Thai for the first time might be surprised to find that there’s actually several sayings the two languages have in common. Expressions such as Luead kon gwa nam (“blood is thicker than water”), gae dam (“black sheep”), and kao hoo sai talu hoo kwa (“in one ear and out the other”) speak to a common worldview that is reassuringly familiar and relatable. This commonality is sure to grow as people continue to share their lives and experiences through social media platforms. One day, we may find such a melting pot of aphorisms that it’s hard to tell who inspired who.

DDC Announces Plans to Offer LAAB to More People BANGKOK (NNT) - The Ministry of Public Health has announced plans to offer long-acting antibodies (LAAB) to Covid-19 patients who are at risk of complications, as well as other patient groups. Full Story: https://aseannow.com/topic/1272624-ddc-announces-plans-to-offer-laab-to-more-people/

BANGKOK (NNT) - The Ministry of Public Health has announced plans to offer long-acting antibodies (LAAB) to Covid-19 patients who are at risk of complications, as well as other patient groups. Dr. Sophon Iamsirithaworn, Deputy Director-General of the Department of Disease Control (DDC), stated that studies showed that LAAB, manufactured by Evusheld and administered as pre-infection protection in Thailand, could be used to effectively treat Covid-19 patients while also reducing the impact of the illness on others. Dr. Sophon stated that with Japan and Europe having approved the use of LAAB for vulnerable Covid-19 patients, Thailand is expected to follow suit to protect vulnerable populations who have not contracted Covid-19. When administered within seven days of the onset of symptoms, according to a study published in Lancet Respiratory Medicine, LAAB can reduce Covid-related severe illnesses and deaths by 50 percent. The reduction increases to 67% if administered within five days and to 88% if administered within three days of symptom onset. According to the DDC deputy director-general, more than 3,400 Thais have been given LAAB, which primarily targets patients on dialysis and those who have undergone organ and bone marrow transplants. The antibodies are expected to soon be administered to other patient groups, including those receiving chemotherapy and radiotherapy, those with low antibody levels, and patients on immunosuppressants following transplant and joint surgeries.

BANGKOK (NNT) - Minister of Natural Resources and Environment Varawut Silpa-Archa presided over the signing of an agreement between the Federation of Thai Industries (FTI) and the Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (TGO) to jointly operate a carbon credit trading center. The event, which was held under the theme "Take action to combat global warming: The solution for Thailand’s and the world’s survival," also marked the launch of the "FTI: CC/RE/REC X" platform, or FTIX, a trading platform that focuses on carbon credit, renewable energy, and renewable energy certificate. Varawut stated that the event demonstrates Thailand’s commitment to combating climate change through a series of campaigns held by the FTI and TGO, paving the way toward sustainability and inspiring local businesses to participate in reducing their carbon footprints. Minister Varawut added that the government and the FTI will also collaborate with the ASEAN Secretariat in persuading neighboring ASEAN countries to consider using the FTIX as a platform to promote carbon credit trading in the region, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of climate change mitigation efforts. FTIX, which integrates seamlessly with TGO’s system, is a trading platform for carbon credit, renewable energy, and renewable energy certificate for businesses seeking to utilize 100 percent renewable energy. The FTI has since successfully utilized the FTIX in the Energy Regulatory Commission Sandbox 2 project to test a transparent and dependable trading platform for small, medium, and large businesses.
