It took 20 years for South Korean director Park Chan-wook to return to the Venice Film Festival, and the same length of time for the veteran cineaste to make his latest film.

(UPDATE) SEN. Panfilo Lacson on Sunday dismissed the insinuation of Sen. Rodante Marcoleta that he was meddling in the latter’s work in leading the Senate investigation on the alleged ghost or substandard flood control projects. Lacson said that he was not picking a fight. Marcoleta chairs the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee which is probing questionable flood control projects. Lacson said that Marcoleta, in his TV program, insinuated that he sought to adjust the schedule of the hearing because he did not want him to lead the hearing. Marcoleta criticized Lacson for asking to reschedule the Blue Ribbon Committee hearing scheduled for Sept. 1, because the Senate finance committee was to hold a hearing on the 2026 budget on the same date. “He was criticizing some of us — myself, Sen. Francis Pangilinan, along with Senate minority leader Vicente Sotto III for proposing the creation of an independent body to investigate flood control anomalies in what he claims to be an attempt to undermine the mandate of the Blue Ribbon Committee which he chairs,” Lacson said. “To set the record straight, no one is interfering in his work. We all want to have good governance,” the senator said in Filipino in a radio interview. The Blue Ribbon Committee is scheduled to hold its hearing on the flood control project mess at 9 a.m., while the Finance Committee will hold its hearing at 10 a.m., with a briefing by the Development Budget Coordination Committee on the Proposed Fiscal Year 2026 National Expenditure Program. Marcoleta questioned the need to reschedule the hearing, adding it seems that “they don’t want me to chair the hearing.” Lacson clarified that his motion was not directed only at Marcoleta. “I was not asking him to reschedule his hearing. I merely asked either hearings to be held on another date, because they are both important. I am not belittling his committee’s hearing, and I recognize his mandate as chairman,” Lacson said. “I merely wanted to correct any misimpressions Sen. Marcoleta’s words may have created. I don’t want a fight but I won’t back down from one,” he added.

Over the past weeks, Filipinos finally found light with regard to the anomalous flood control projects in the Philippines. This eventually led to topics about alleged corrupt politicians , as well as their families, who benefit from their positions. Netizens have started calling out children of these personalities allegedly involved in the controversy, for flaunting their lavish and seemingly out-of-touch lifestyle.

MANILA, Philippines — Despite Davao City being allotted a P51 billion budget for infrastructure projects, including flood control, the city remains prone to flooding, according to Manila 6th District Rep. Bienvenido “Benny” Abante. In an interview with Bilyonaryo TV last Friday, Abante said that the amount was given during the second half of the term of former President Rodrigo Duterte. “I think he received P51 billion in the three years that he was a congressman during his father’s time,” Abante said as quoted in a statement, referring to Davao City 1st District Rep.
