    Ramadan officially started last Wednesday of March 22 and will continue until April 20 this year, as this occasion is important to Muslims worldwide as a month of fasting, prayer, reflection and community for them. Efforts by preparing food are being put in this occasion but due to higher prices of foods Muslims are struggling. It said that the cause of foods higher prices is actually happening during the celebration of Ramadan and additionally according to WION (World is One News) reports last Thursday, March 23 the reason behind the soaring prices was due to the effects of up until now ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, abide the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and due to climate change around the world that affect food supply and global economy.  On the other hand, Muslims expressed their worries in this situation and many of them hope that the current prices of goods will back to its normal price just like before and in response to this local market vendors explained that their business are not doing well also and the fact that all good literally soared its prices nowadays causing for them to have lower incomes and expressing that the reason behind with all of this are the economic conditions of the country which is not in good state.

DOJ will investigate torture allegations of Degamo suspect

  by Adrian T. Organo  If it is true that the suspects were tortured and threatened the safety of their families by the authorities, the court should pay attention to this issue. It must be investigated, for us to know the truth. Another thing that should be focused upon in the investigation is the person who is really the prime suspect of the crime. In regards to this chaos case, many side stories were heard and all of the stories have different angles, points, and prime suspects, but one thing is for sure to be very disturbing is the allegation of torturing the suspects well in my own opinion if the investigation is still on process everyone must presume to be innocent until it was proven that they are guilty of the crime so any punishment must not be done first. However, in the claims of the suspects they were tortured and it seems like authorities took advantage of their position and abused their power which was absolutely wrong.  NEWS: https://bawaannews.blogspot.com...
