Alagad, dai ini nangangahulugan na an aki papabayaan na makalaya na sana. An batas nagigibo nin mga lakdang nin interbensyon, rehabilitasyon, pagpapayo, asin superbisyon. An mga aki na lampas sa 15 anyos alagad mas hababa sa 18 anyos puwede pa man giraray na paninimbagon sa krimen kun sinda naghiro na may discernment—o sa

Tigsik ko an mga kaakian na pirmi nasa kwarto, Na an paghona ta sana dai na sinda nin peligro. Dai ta aram, konektado na sinda sa

By Rhaydz Barcia LEGAZPI CITY --- The First Division of the Court of Appeals (CA) has reversed and dismissed the administrative case for conduct unbecoming of a public official against Camarines Norte Governor Ricarte Padilla. In a 15-page decision penned by Presiding Justice Fernanda Lampas Peralta and promulgated on May 29, 2026, the appellate court set aside the December 26, 2024 decision and July 29, 2025 order of the Office of the Ombudsman in Case No. OMB-L-A-SEP-23-015

By Manuel T. Ugalde LEGAZPI CITY — Attendees at the June 12 Independence Day celebration in Albay were surprised when the Philippine flag was raised upside down, with the red field positioned above the blue during the singing of the national anthem. Albay Governor Noel Rosal, however, downplayed the incident, saying it was purely unintentional. He noted that personnel from the Philippine Navy were responsible for raising the flag during the ceremony. The flag-raising rites we

By Paulo DS Papa The Crimes and Corruption Watch International (CCWI) has filed a complaint-affidavit before the Office of the Ombudsman against Camarines Sur Vice Governor Sal Fortuno Jr. and the majority members of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan (SP) for their alleged inaction to address transparency and procurement issues within the provincial government.

(BICOL Mail decided to share this editorial originally written in the United Kingdom to help raise awareness among Filipino readers about a growing concern that is not limited by geography. While the discussion was framed around British schools and policies, the issues it raises—particularly the effects of late-night social media use, declining attention spans among students, and the growing influence of algorithm-driven platforms on young minds—are increasingly relevant in t

It had to take an earthquake to stop senators from bickering. For weeks, they had been at each other’s throats. Mindanao gets a shattering shake of a quake; then, the senators stop. On one hand, it is relieving that they have all calmed down. On the other hand, I somehow miss the action which to some extent, was exciting. Did they really stop? Or is this just a pause? Something tells me that this is just a ceasefire and after this, bombs will again be launched and inte

Being a volunteer with Tabang Bikol Movement, it is not unusual to come face to face with the problems of mothers, fathers, daughters, and sons living in poor communities across Camarines Sur. After disasters have passed, after the death of a loved one, or amid the relentless rise in the prices of food and basic necessities, many families struggle to survive on meager incomes or with no steady source of livelihood. As schools reopened two weeks ago, I once again found myself

It was heartbreaking news: Two Ateneo de Manila University basketball players drowned. It did not, at that moment, matter to me whether the incident was purely accidental or whether it could have been preventable. My immediate concern, as an alum of the Ateneo de Manila University and an avid fan of the Blue Eagles, was the human cost of the tragedy. What mattered most to me upon hearing the tragic news was not the public discourse that immediately followed, but the athletes’

Nagbisita ako sa sakong tiyaon sa ciudad nin Legazpi kan nakaaging Sabado. Medio buelo ang sakuyang oras kan mga nakaaging aldaw dara kan holiday, aldaw nin katalingkasan kan Biernes, nagpasiring ako duman asin nagdagos sa sarong hotel na harani sa sikat na mall duman. Pagkaaga bago magcheck-out, naghiling muna sa mapa para maaraman kung pano magduman sa harong ni Auntie Rose. Bakong man masakit hanapon ta harani sa ka-centrohan kan Old Albay ang saindang lugar.
