A  thirteen-year-old boy opened fire at his school Vladislav Ribnikar Elementary School in the Serbian capital of Belgrade, killing eight children and one security guard on Wednesday, May 3. 

Citizens from the Serbian Capital of Belgrade are grieving after the school shooting incident in the area that killed eight innocent children, one security guard who died after trying to stop the shooter from entering, and other reported casualties of six children and one teacher who were taken to the hospital for injuries. The shooter brought two guns, one 9mm pistol, and a smaller caliber pistol in a bag, as well as four Molotov cocktails. Both were owned by his parents who had several pieces of weapons at home. 

After a shooter killed his first victim, the security guard of the school, he then entered the history classroom that was near the school entrance where he started to shoot some students. Afterward, he committed a horrible crime the shooter called the police, waited for them to arrive to get him arrested, and was later filmed being taken away by the police with handcuffs in his hand and a jacket over his head. The intention of the attack is still unclear but the authorities conducted several tests on the suspect to determine whether the boy was under the influence of alcohol, narcotics, or drugs.  

Meanwhile, Serbian officials stated on Wednesday that the shooting attack was planned by the shooter after a displayed sheet of paper that showed the shooter's plans for the attack was recovered upon conducting the investigation. Authorities also arrested the suspect's parents for investigation and his father was ordered to be detained for up to 48 hours because of “suspicion of having committed the criminal offense of serious offense against general security” said the Serbian Prosecutor Office.

The Philippine Salt Industry Development Bill and the Bureau of Immigration Modernization Bill are the two suggested laws that are expected to be implemented. The Philippine Salt Industry Development Bill aims to revitalize the Philippines' declining salt industry, as the country currently imports the majority of its salt supplies.

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...

  by  Aprille Paula O. Salvino Side effects of climate change in this year continuously became aggressive, resulting in a possible high risk in humanity  and in our world.  According to the report of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) on its own  174-year record, March 2023 was the second warmest month. The year-to-date global surface temperature (January-March) was the fourth highest on record and according to the National Centers for Environmental Information's (NCEI's) Global Annual Temperature Outlook, 2023 is almost certain (>99.0%) to be one of the ten warmest years on record, with a 96% chance of being one of the top five. The world's leading climate scientists have warned that there are just seven years left to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, after which even a half-degree increase will greatly aggravate the dangers of drought, floods, and excessive heat. An international climate change treaty was established ...
