Boy sustains fracture after hit by van in Zarraga, Iloilo
A van hit a 10-year-old boy on the national highway of Barangay Jalaud (pronounced Ha-la-wud) Sur in Zarraga town, Province of Iloilo.
The incident was caught on closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera.
The boy crossed the road and was hit eventually by the van past 2 p.m. on May 22, 2025.
The video showed that the boy was thrown away a few meters on impact.
The victim was identified only as a certain 'Junner,' a resident of the said barangay.
The child was supposed to go to a chapel across the road to attend a Holy Mass. He was on his own because he was reportedly left behind by his companions.
'Sabi ko, ner huwag ka munang tumawid kasi may van. Tapos, may tumawag sa kanya hindi ko alam kung sino. Nang tumakbo na siya, iyon na, nabangga siya,' Lyka, the boy's sister, said.
The victim sustained an injury on the head and a right leg fracture.
As of this writing, he is already recuperating at a hospital in Iloilo City.
The driver of the van was identified as Rendon Galanto, a resident of Tobias Fornier town, Province of Antique. He was bound for Dumangas town, Iloilo that day.
According to Zarraga Police, both parties have already settled the matter amicably.
Galanto was released from detention after the reglementary period had lapsed.
'About sa settlement nila sa ospital, okay na doon ang driver ng van,' Staff Sergeant Ivan Christian Saludares, investigator at Zarraga Municipal Police Station.

My Favorite Ultra-High-Yield Dividend Stocks to Buy With $100 Right Now
Ares Capital offers an exceptionally high dividend yield. Enbridge is a low-risk stock with solid growth prospects and a sterling track record of dividend increases. Enterprise Products Partners is highly resilient and pays a juicy distribution. 10 stocks we like better than Ares Capital › I have a confession to make. I'm much more interested in dividend stocks than I've ever been before. Part of it is that I'm inching closer to retirement. While I don't rely on income from dividend stocks yet, it's appealing to me to have money returned to me regularly to reinvest. Dividend yield isn't my only consideration in selecting dividend stocks, but it's certainly a key consideration. I've found quite a few top-tier stocks with exceptionally high dividend yields, at least 4 times greater than the yield offered by the S&P 500. Many of them don't require a large upfront investment. Here are my favorite ultra-high-yield dividend stocks to buy with $100 right now. Ares Capital (NASDAQ: ARCC) is the largest publicly traded business development company (BDC). It's managed by a subsidiary of Ares Management Corporation, a leading global alternative investment manager. Ares Capital provides direct loans to and invests in private middle-market companies in the U.S. This stock is cheap in two ways. First, its share price of under $22 is easily affordable. Second, Ares Capital's forward price-to-earnings ratio is only 10.7. While I like Ares Capital's valuation, I like its dividend even more. As a BDC, the company must return at least 90% of its income to shareholders as dividends. Ares Capital generates plenty of income to return, as evidenced by its lofty forward dividend yield of 8.95%. The company has paid stable to growing dividends for 63 consecutive quarters and counting. The total addressable market for Ares Capital is estimated to be around $5.4 trillion. The BDC market continues to expand as middle-market companies turn to direct lending. As one of the largest and most respected players in the industry, Ares Capital is well positioned to benefit from this market growth. When I first heard of Enbridge (NYSE: ENB) years ago, the company primarily focused on midstream energy operations. It's still a top player in the midstream energy industry, with 18,085 miles of crude pipeline and 18,952 miles of natural gas pipeline. However, Enbridge is also now the largest natural gas utility in North America and a significant producer of renewable power. I think this diversification makes Enbridge even more attractive. Its business is resilient throughout all economic and commodity cycles. Less than 1% of the company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) is linked to commodity prices. And roughly 80% of Enbridge's EBITDA is protected from inflation. Enbridge has increased its dividend for an impressive 30 consecutive years. That streak seems highly likely to continue, considering the company's distributable cash-flow payout ratio is between 60% and 70%. This energy leader is no slouch with the amount of its dividend, either, with a forward dividend yield of 6.07%. You can scoop up one share of Enbridge for less than $45. That investment will buy you partial ownership in a relatively low-risk company that should provide reliable income plus respectable long-term growth prospects thanks to the increasing demand for natural gas. Another of my favorite ultra-high-yield dividend stocks is also a midstream energy leader. Enterprise Products Partners (NYSE: EPD) operates more than 50,000 miles of pipeline and owns assets that include natural gas processing trains and liquids storage facilities. Like Enbridge, Enterprise Products Partners is highly resilient. Around 90% of its long-term contracts are protected from inflation. The master limited partnership (MLP) has consistently generated strong distributable cash flow per unit during good times and bad times, the latter including the financial crisis of 2007 through 2009, the oil price collapse of 2015 through 2017, and the COVID-19 pandemic. Enterprise Products Partners has increased its distribution for 26 consecutive years. Its forward distribution yield is a juicy 6.93%. The MLP has also rewarded unitholders with unit buybacks. One unit of Enterprise Products Partners will cost you around $31. If you also bought a share each of Ares Capital and Enbridge, you'd still have a few dollars remaining from an initial $100. I don't think you'll find three better ultra-high-yield dividend stocks for this low price.

Refresco CEO Hans Roelofs to step down after 18-year tenure
Refresco CEO Hans Roelofs will step down in August, concluding an 18-year tenure with the Netherlands-based drinks manufacturer. In a statement issued yesterday (26 June), Refresco, majority-owned by private-equity firm KKR, said it had started a search for a new chief executive. Refresco supervisory board chairman and KKR partner James Cunningham thanked Roelofs for "positioning Refresco for continued success in the years to come as we continue to expand the company's footprint'. Roelofs joined Refresco in 2007 after spells at meat group Dumeco and agri-food business Nutreco. Through M&A and organic growth, Refresco is now a company with operations in 13 countries. The business has 75 manufacturing sites and employs more than 14,000 staff. KKR invested in the group in 2022. Reflecting on his decision to retire, Roelofs said: 'This is the right time for me to step back, confident that the company will continue to grow and thrive on its unique entrepreneurial spirit and the agility of its people.' In 2024, Refresco generated revenue of €5.99bn ($x), up 1% on a year earlier. The volume of drinks sold stood at 13.83bn litres, down from 14.25bn litres in 2023. Some 26% of the company's volumes were carbonated soft drinks, with another 26% generated through water products. Sport and energy drinks accounted for 15%. Earlier this month, Refresco agreed to acquire Norway-based soft-drinks manufacturer Telemark Kildevann (TKV). TKV operates two production facilities in the Norwegian towns of Fyresdal and Aurskog and supplies products to retailers and branded customers in Norway and Sweden. Last year, Refresco snapped up Spanish plant-based beverage maker Frías Nutrición, purchased a production site from German beverage group Berentzen-Gruppe and bought US-based VBC Bottling Company, a fellow contract manufacturer. In May last year, Rotterdam-based Refresco opened its first European plant-based production line in Germany, marking an entry into the oat drinks' market. As part of the deal for the Berentzen-Gruppe facility, Refresco also bought the mineral-water brands Märkisch Kristall and Grüneberg Quelle. Commending Roelofs' leadership, Refresco supervisory board member and PAI managing partner Frédéric Stévenin said: 'Refresco went through a period of unprecedented growth and transformation."

Henry Golding: Portraying James Bond would be a nightmare
Henry Golding thinks playing James Bond would be a "nightmare". The 38-year-old actor has been widely tipped as one of the candidates to replace Daniel Craig as 007, but Henry acknowledges that the role carries a lot pressure and expectation. He told People: "I think that's every actor's kind of nightmare. But at the same time, [you're] also wanting to kind of add something new to a franchise." Henry thinks the role of Bond would be more attractive if it didn't carry so much "cultural pressure". The actor - who starred in 2018's Crazy Rich Asians - reflected: "Maybe I'm just a p****. I don't know. But I think I would love it so much more if there wasn't that overhanging cultural pressure." Henry believes the Bond franchise should actually broaden its horizons by adding "more agents" and adopting a more open-minded approach. He said: "Why can't they bring out more agents or more OO's? I think that would be so much more fun, because there just isn't the restraints and the expectation." Henry previously described being linked to the role of Bond as an "honour". However, the actor argued that the world is not yet ready for a non-white Bond. Henry - who was born in Malaysia, but raised in the UK - told Attitude magazine: "It does seem to be a question that always comes up. It was definitely from Crazy Rich Asians, maybe [the scene with] the white suit coming out the park. "I'm Asian and everybody's fighting for a diverse Bond - sorry, white guys." Henry thinks it's "great" that non-white actors are being linked to the role of Bond. And the actor admitted to being flattered to even have been spoken about as a possible candidate for the coveted part. He said: "Isn't it great that we're having that conversation? Isn't it great that people are like, 'Ok, now it's time, why the hell can't we have a black Bond, an Asian Bond, a mixed-race Bond, a non-distinct Bond?' "I don't know ... It's an honour to even be in the conversation."
