Zubiri, allies form bloc amid shakeup
(UPDATE) OUSTED Senate president Juan Miguel Zubiri and his allies formed the "Magic 7" bloc "to support one another" Tuesday amid a shakeup in the upper chamber arising from a leadership change. Sen. Francis Escudero on Monday staged a coup against Zubiri as he secured the signatures of 14 fellow senators to unseat the latter. Zubiri managed to retain the support of his "seatmates" group, Sens. Juan Edgardo Angara, Nancy Binay, JV Ejercito, Sherwin Gatchalian, Loren Legarda and Joel Villanueva.

BoP reverses to deficit, GIR drops
GOVERNMENT debt payments swung the country's balance of payments (BoP) into a deficit in April, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) reported late Monday. The country recorded a $639-million BoP shortfall in April, reversing from March 2024's $1.2-billion surplus and also larger than the year-earlier deficit of $148 million. "The BoP deficit in April 2024 reflected outflows arising mainly from the national government's (NG) net foreign currency withdrawals from its deposits with the BSP to settle its foreign currency debt obligations and pay for its various expenditures," the
