Archbishop Villegas backs calls for Duterte impeachment trial
Archbishop Socrates Villegas of Lingayen-Dagupan joined public calls to push through with the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte, saying that delaying the process is a sin and a form of injustice. In a statement posted on Facebook on June 9, 2025, Villegas said the nation has the right to know the truth, and this truth can only be revealed through legal proceedings. 'To delay the trial or even to abort it is to suppress the truth. It is a sin,' he said. 'The nation has a right to the truth that can only be established by law and evidence. To deprive the people of the full truth is a form of robbery. It is keeping something not yours. It is a sin,' he added. Villegas said the impeachment trial is not just a legal matter, but a moral responsibility. He said ignoring this duty harms justice and the common good. He warned that personal ambition and comfort should not take priority over truth and accountability. The post was released days before the celebration of Independence Day. Villegas urged the public to remember that true freedom comes only from truth and justice. 'May the Lord set us free from our own devils of lies, injustice, mediocrity and selfishness,' he said.

Archbishop Villegas slams delay of VP Sara's impeachment trial: ‘It is a sin'
Lingayen-Dagupan Archbishop Socrates Villegas called out the delay in the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte, noting that such a move is a "suppression of truth. It is a sin." 'To delay the trial or even to abort it is to suppress the truth. It is a sin. The opponent, the devil, is rightly called Prince of Lies,' he said in a statement posted on Monday. 'To abort the trial even before its delayed commencement is deplorable. It is a sin against justice,' Villegas added. 'The trial by the Senate is a positive command of the Philippine Constitution. It is a demand of justice. It must be commenced and it must continue to a just verdict. It is wrong to delay or abort it, according to no less than the framers of the Constitution itself. I add- it is sinfully wrong. It offends truth and justice.' The presentation of the articles of impeachment has been moved from June 2 to June 11. In a letter to Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez, Escudero said the Senate and the House of Representatives needed to prioritize the passage of the items in the administration's legislative agenda before the 19th Congress adjourned sine die on June 14. On Monday, Escudero maintained that the Senate will fulfill its constitutional duty but not based on the timeline of others. 'Sino mang pabor sa impeachment o kontra sa impeachment, sinumang pabor kay VP Sara o kontra sa kanya, hindi ko papakinggan. Gagawin ko kung ano ang tama, nararapat, at ayon sa Konstitusyon at batas ayon sa aming tingin. Kung ano ang tama,' he said. (I will not listen to anyone who is in favor or against the impeachment, anyone who is in favor or against VP Sara. I will do what is right, appropriate, and according to the Constitution and the law as we see it. I will do what is right.) Further, Villegas said that such delay is a form of laziness. 'When motivated by selfish ambition and the prioritization of personal desires, gratification and comfort, the delay of the process of pursuing the TRUTH is a sin. It smacks of negligence and laziness. Not to pursue the truth when you have the capacity to know it FORTHWITH is a grave sin of omission. It is morally unacceptable," he said. 'Procrastination is a form of laziness which leads to the neglect of responsibilities, tasks, or opportunities, which can be interpreted as a lack of diligence or commitment,' Villegas added. On Monday evening, Escudero took his oath as presiding officer of the impeachment court in the trial. After the senators take their oaths at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, the court would be constituted but not yet convened. — BAP, GMA Integrated News

San Diego flight evacuated over passenger bomb threat
San Diego flight evacuated over passenger bomb threat Show Caption Hide Caption Real ID explained: what it is, why it matters, and how to get yours Real ID requirements: everything you need to know about getting compliant for travel and ID. A Hawaiian Airlines flight was evacuated in San Diego due to a passenger's bomb threat. All passengers and crew were safely deplaned and the aircraft was searched. No bomb was found, and the flight eventually departed after a five-hour delay. A Hawaiian Airlines plane was evacuated Tuesday morning right before takeoff from San Diego International Airport after a passenger reportedly made a "possible bomb threat onboard," according to the Port of San Diego Harbor Police. At 8:46 a.m., Port of San Diego Harbor Police received a call from the captain of HA Flight 15, who was informed by a flight attendant a passenger made a bomb threat. The Airbus A330 had just detached from the jetway and was on the tarmac to depart for Honolulu International Airport. "During pushback from the gate, a guest was overheard making a threat to the safety of our aircraft," said Melissa Villegas, a spokesperson for Hawaiian Airlines. "As a precaution, the captain immediately taxied the Airbus A330 to a safe location on the airfield where it was met with local and federal law enforcement and guests were safely deplaned." All 283 passengers and 10 crew members evacuated from the aircraft and transported by bus to a safe area. Port of San Diego Harbor Police's Maritime Tactical (MARTAC, also known as SWAT) team, K-9 Team, Joint Terrorism Task Force, the San Diego Fire Department, and the FBI responded to the scene to search the aircraft, according to the Harbor Police. "Nothing suspicious was found on the aircraft," the law enforcement agency added. After authorities cleared the plane, guests reboarded and it departed around 2:15 p.m. local time – about five hours after the scheduled departure time. "We appreciate their understanding during this situation and apologize for any concern this may have caused," said Villegas. "We are working to get all guests to Honolulu as quickly as possible. We are grateful for the professionalism and care of our flight attendants and pilots throughout this event." Harbor Police said there is no threat to the public or travelers, and it will continue to investigate the incident. Operations at San Diego International Airport are normal, according to the airport.

Floral shop forced to raise prices due to Trump's tariffs
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — Four Buds Floral Studio is gearing up for a busy Mother's Day weekend. Florist Lauren Villegas told 12 News orders for Saturday and Sunday have been pouring in and their colleagues will be working around the clock on a variety of colorful arrangements. Even though business has been booming, Villegas said the average Mother's Day bouquet costs significantly more than it did last year. 'Currently our minimum is $85, and that's for about the same size that we used to do for $65, if that tells you anything about what kind of prices we're now having to pay on the back end,' they explained. That means the flower shop has raised prices at least 30% in a year's time. Villegas blamed the price hikes on President Donald Trump's tariffs, since 95% of their flowers come from overseas during the fall and spring due to the seasonal change in growing conditions. 'Most of the flowers come through Holland, and all of the roses come from South America,' Villegas said. Thankfully, Villegas said the vast majority of their customers have been understanding. 'For us it hasn't hurt business, but it's changed our business in that we have to shop differently,' Villegas explained. 'We used to be able to buy different products at different times of the year because they were affordable, and now they're simply not.' 'But we have customers who really love what we do and the quality of work we do,' they added. For those seeking last-minute floral arrangements, Villegas said Four Buds Floral Studio will be open Sunday while supplies last.
