PARIS, France — From translating thoughts into words to allowing paralyzed people to walk, the field of neurotechnology has been quietly surging ahead, raising hopes of medical breakthroughs — and profound ethical concerns. Some observers even think that neurotech could end up being as revolutionary as the far more hyped rise of artificial intelligence (AI). “People do not realise how much we’re already living in science fiction,” King’s College London researcher Anne Vanhoestenberghe told AFP.

MANILA, Philippines — Several opposition groups on Wednesday called for public participation in a protest on Friday, Nov. 14 to “continue the struggle for accountability and the defense of our hard-won democratic spaces.” “The same corruption that bleeds our coffers dry is also what leaves our communities defenseless against disasters—roofs torn away, rivers un-dredged, dams mismanaged, and funds for relief and recovery stolen or wasted,” said Rene Magtubo, spokesman for the Simbahan at Komunidad Laban sa Katiwalian (Siklab). Makati Employees Against Corruption (MEAC) spokesman Peter Pinlac said, "Both corruption and authoritarianism kill.— one through neglect, the other through repression. Democracy should not be collateral damage in our struggle to end corruption and elite control over our nation.” This call came after typhoons “Tino” and “Uwan” ravaged the country, killing hundreds, displacing thousands and destroying agriculture and infrastructure. “We continue to push for the demands that mobilized hundreds of thousands into our streets: full accountability against those proven to have stolen against the people; the filing of charges by the Office of the Ombudsman based on the recommendations of the Independent Commission on Infrastructure (ICI); the suspension of all those implicated in the anomalies; the freezing of assets and eventual forfeiture of ill-gotten wealth; the extension of the investigations to include the abuse of confidential and intelligence funds by Vice President Sara Duterte; and the passage of key reforms such as the open bicam policy, freedom of information, reform of the partylist system, and the prohibition of political dynasties,” according to a the statement.
