A 70-year-old man was injured after unidentified gunmen riddled his home with bullets in Barangay Kinawe, Libona, Bukidnon. Series of gunshots stirred residents past midnight on Wednesday, July 16, 2025. Authorities said the house of the victim was strafed while he and his wife were sleeping inside. Neighbors claimed to have heard at least 30 gunshots. 'Ayha mi niduol sa area mga 10 minutes pa nilabay kay dili ta kumpyansa gud basin naa pay resbak nga naghupo ra ba kaha to diha,' a resident, alias 'Kiko,' said. No one reportedly saw the gunmen as it was dark at that time. Police recovered 28 empty shells from an M16 rifle and eight empty shells from a caliber 9mm pistol from the area. The gunfire was concentrated on the side of the house where the victim was sleeping. The walls were riddled with bullet holes and a chicken was killed. The victim sustained three gunshot wounds and is now receiving treatment at the hospital. Fortunately, his wife was unharmed. Authorities are eyeing land dispute as motive behind the attack.

'Niadtong March 29 nahitabo na gihapon ang susamang insidente sa pagpusil sa biktima ug kini identified ang suspetsado ug na file na sa Libona ang kaso nga attempted murder. Gituohan nga kini nga insidente ganina ang mao gihapon nga suspetsado ang naghimo,' Police Regional Office-Northern Mindanao (PRO-10) Spokesperson, Major Joann Navarro, said.

Japan Crown Prince, His Family Visit Hiroshima A-Bomb Exhibition
Tokyo, July 11 (Jiji Press)--Japan's Crown Prince Akishino and his family on Friday visited a photo exhibition on the U.S. atomic bombing of the western Japan city of Hiroshima 80 years ago. The event, hosted by five media organizations including Chugoku Shimbun, a newspaper publisher in Hiroshima Prefecture, is being held at the Tokyo Photographic Art Museum in Meguro Ward of Japan's capital. Two videos and some 160 pictures taken by photographers of the media companies and residents of the city of Hiroshima are on display, showing the devastation from the nuclear attack, which took place on Aug. 6, 1945, in the closing days of World War II. Crown Prince Akishino, Crown Princess Kiko, their second daughter, Princess Kako, and their son, Prince Hisahito, viewed the exhibits attentively while receiving explanations from a Chugoku Shimbun staff personnel. "The blast must have been big," the Crown Prince said as he looked at a photo taken at a point 2.2 kilometers from ground zero. Nuclear weapons must be abolished, he said, noting the harmful effects of radiation on humans. [Copyright The Jiji Press, Ltd.]

Millie Mackintosh shares her makeup hack to get a ‘10 second facelift'
Millie Mackintosh has given fans a clever hack for lifting and sculpting your face using nothing but carefully placed makeup, with the trick said to give you a '10 second facelift' Although she's never been shy about sharing which cosmetic procedures she's had done, recently Millie Mackintosh showed fans how to achieve a sculpted, lifted without a single needle or filler in sight. The former Made in Chelsea star shared a video on Instagram where she teased: 'I'm having a facelift!' Before adding: 'But luckily, it only takes 10 seconds.' Using nothing but two different makeup products, Millie showed how some careful placement of contour and highlighter made her jawline and cheekbones look higher and tighter. Although she admitted the results were subtle, she did say she could see a difference in her face, with fans also agreeing that they could see a slight change in Millie's face after the contouring. Unlike the 2016 trend of harsh contouring across your whole face, Millie's 10 second hack involves a much more minimalist approach to contouring, placing a little concealer and a darker foundation around your jaw and cheekbones. To start the process, Millie applied the Dior Forever Skin Perfect Multi-Use Foundation Stick in a slightly darker shade to her skin tone down either side of her mouth towards her jaw, which helps create a tighter look. The Dior foundation stick is a splurge at £48, but if you want some more affordable options we also love the Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tint Hydrating Foundation Stick from Charlotte Tilbury, which is £35 and has a blurring and smoothing finish. For an ultra budget-friendly pick, Kiko's Sculpting Touch Creamy Stick Contour is only £11.49 and is creamy and highly blendable, making it perfect for looks like this which require lots of blending. Once the contour was placed around her mouth, Millie then applied Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Wear Care and Glow Concealer in small dots to the middle of her chin, as well as placing them under her cheekbones. This helps to create the illusion of lift and brightness in those areas, making them more prominent and creating the 'facelift' look. Millie's go-to Lancôme concealer is currently 20% off in Debenhams' summer sale, slashing the price from £31 to £24.80. It also has a buildable medium coverage with a subtle glow, making it perfect for that radiant, summery look. To finish, Millie used Merit's Brush No 1 Blending Brush, £28, to carefully blend both the foundation and concealer into her skin. Thanks to the creamy nature of both beauty products they blurred together instantly, creating a natural-looking finish, saying: 'I think it's made a subtle difference.'
