Identified Driver of Blue Maserati Is Being Hunted

The hunt is on for Maserati sports car-driving motorist who punched and dragged a Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) traffic constable after he tried to make an illegal left turn at a busy street in Quezon City during the early hours of 27 November 2014.

The suspect was identified as Joseph Russel Ingco, 39 years old and a resident of New Manila in Quezon City.

Humanum's "New Affirmation on Marriage"

The Vatican is currently hosting an international colloquium called Humanum dedicated to "the complementarity of man and woman" and the importance of marriage. Essentially, it was not addressed to Catholics, but also people from many different faiths, including a detailed description of what marriage is all about.

It is a well-timed discourse alluding to the "unique" way that men and women define marriage after Pope Francis prayed that the colloquium "will be an inspiration to all who seek to support and strengthen the union of man and woman in marriage as a unique, natural, fundamental and beautiful good for persons, communities, and whole societies."

Is Sephora Racist?

Consumers who tried to go to Sephora's website on 8 November 2014 got an error page, but was not because of their computers.

The beauty giant posted a message apologizing for the outage, which happened during its big VIB beauty insiders's sale. The message reads: "What caused the disruption yesterday was a high level of bulk buys and automated accounts for reselling purposes from North America and multiple countries outside the US. The technical difficulties that impacted the site are actively being addressed and our desktop US website is now functioning normally."

The Awakening of Reactionary Anti-Gay France

If the French government thought that the "Manif pour tous" ("demonstration for all") is done protesting against pro-gay laws, then they are mistaken.

After drawing an estimated 100,000-150,000 participants early this year to protest against a law called Mariage pour tous (Marriage for All), something bigger was and is stirring. A huge demonstration will take place against soon all over France and the marchers will represent "The Awakening (le réveil) of Reactionary France."

Shooting At Legazpi Village

No details are available yet, except for an article in The Philippine Star which reported that a man was shot dead shortly after he got into a taxicab with his wife and child at the corner of Rufino and Salcedo streets in Makati 9 November 2014.

As usual, police have yet to identify the victim. Hopefully, some concerned citizen will be able to give more details in social media networks and could give more information, just like what happened when a viral photo made the rounds in social media last September 2014, showing several men (later identified as police officers) aiming what looked like guns at a vehicle on EDSA.
