Filipino in California shot dead in front of 11-year-old son

A Filipino businessman was shot and killed in Oakland, California. The victim’s 11-year-old son witnessed the crime.

In a report by GTV “State of the Nation” on Monday, the victim was identified as Jun Anabo, 37-years-old.

The Filipino victim was taken to the hospital but also died.

Authorities are still investigating the motive for the crime. But one of the angles being looked at is the Filipino’s purchase of a truck for $ 50,000, which appears to be a hot car.

But the victim did not know that the vehicle was stolen. So it is possible that the victim knew the culprits.

CCTV cameras are already being checked for footage that will help solve the crime.

The Filipino community in Oakland strongly condemned the murder of the victim.

Permanent validity of birth, death, and marriage certificates approved

The Senate has already authorized the bill’s third and final reading to give permanent validity to birth, death, and marriage certificates.

By a vote of 21 yes and no, Senate Bill 2450 or the Permanent Validity of the Certificates of Live Birth, Death and Marriage Act authored by Senator Ramon “Bong” Revilla Jr. was approved.

Under the proposal, such certificates issued, signed, certified, or authenticated by the Philippine Statistics Authority and the National Statistics Office, local civil registries will have permanent validity regardless of the date they are issued.

It must be recognized and accepted by all government or private transactions or services it requires as an individual’s identity and legal status.

The proposal stipulates that such documents must be “intact,” legible, and transparent with authenticity and security features.

It further states that the permanent validity of Certificates of Marriage is applicable only if the marriage has not been annulled or has not been declared void ab initio stipulated under the Family Code of the Philippines or any amendatory law regarding marriage.

The measure also prohibits all government offices, private companies, schools, and non-government entities from requiring a new issue of birth, death, or marriage certificates for transacting with them.
