Bago City residents affected by Kanlaon Volcano ashfall, rains get free medical services from GMA Kapuso Foundation
More than 900 residents in Bago City, Negros Occidental who have been affected by Kanlaon Volcano's ashfall and the relentless rains received free medical services from GMA Kapuso Foundation. According to a "24 Oras" report Wednesday, among the beneficiaries of the foundation's Kapuso Kalusugan Karavan are husband and wife Rizaldy and Anne Velasquez, whose crops were destroyed by ash fall. Per the report, Anne has a lump on her back and diabetes, but has been unable to take maintenance medication due to their meager earnings. The GMA Kapuso Foundation provided free medical consultations, dental services, prescription eyeglasses, and hygiene kits to the residents of Bago City through the caravan. "'Pag natamaan ka ng kalamidad like here, medyo mahirap maghanap ng medical aid. That's why we really target remote areas," said GMA Kapuso Foundation EVP & COO Rikki Escudero-Catibog A medical specialist was able to examine Anne and also prescribe her medication for her condition. "Diabetes, ayun 'yung cause ng kaniyang pabalik-balik na infection sa likod. Every two weeks at least makapacheck sila ng sugar sa mga city health," said Bago City Health Office Medical Officer III. Dr. Elyssa R. Gonzales. Another resident, Lyka Joy, also got her two-year-old child with hand, foot, and mouth disease examined by a doctor, while another, a farmer named Luciano, received a pair of prescription eyeglasses from GMA Kapuso Foundation's partner, Ideal Vision Center. For those who wish to support GMA Kapuso Foundation's projects, donations may be made via Metrobank, Land Bank, BDO, Bank of Commerce, UnionBank, PNB, Cebuana Lhuillier, GCash, Lazada, and Shopee.

Singapore charges Indonesian traveller with stealing 250,000 KrisFlyer miles to buy pastries and phone at Changi Airport
SINGAPORE, May 29 — An Indonesian man has been charged in a Singapore court for allegedly using over 250,000 KrisFlyer miles from other people's accounts to go on a shopping spree. Rizaldy Primanta Putra, 28, faces four charges under the Computer Misuse Act, news agency Channel News Asia reported today. 'I intend to claim trial to the charges,' he was quoted as saying during a virtual appearance in court. His bail was set at S$15,000 (RM52,600). Citing from court documents, the news agency reported Rizaldy was accused of using 4,672 KrisFlyer miles on June 8, 2024, to buy S$31.15 (RM110) worth of items at Bugis Junction through a KrisPay wallet linked to an account that was not his. Less than two weeks later, on June 21, he allegedly spent another 245,491 KrisFlyer miles — from a different stolen account — to buy goods worth S$1,636.61 (RM5,730) at Changi Airport. He faces two additional charges for illegally logging into those accounts via the Kris+ app. Singapore police said Rizaldy had purchased access to the compromised accounts online while he was overseas. He then flew to Singapore in June 2024, where he allegedly used the stolen miles to buy pastries in Bugis and a phone and phone case at Changi Airport. The offences only came to light in October 2024, when Singapore Airlines lodged a police report after spotting suspicious redemptions flagged by retailers. By that time, Rizaldy had already left Singapore in September 2024. He was identified as a suspect following investigations that included reviewing CCTV footage. He was arrested at Changi Airport on January 11 upon returning to Singapore. If convicted of causing unauthorised modification of computer material by using others' KrisFlyer miles, he faces up to three years in jail, a fine of up to S$10,000 (RM35,000), or both. For each charge of accessing someone's account without authorisation, he could be jailed for up to two years, fined S$5,000 (RM17,500), or both.
