Boost for Indian medical students as Philippines tweaks norms
Thursday, 23 May 2024 Indian students in the Philippines benefit from a legislative change allowing international medical graduates to obtain licenses and practice locally, aligning with India's NMC rules. This change helps those studying abroad meet the requirements to practice in India. Annually, around 2,000 Indian students enroll in Philippine medical programs. Concerns about education quality and currency outflow persist, urging better regulation and advisories from Indian embassies.
Tensions are escalating in the Asia-Pacific as China slams the U.S.-Philippines joint military drills near Taiwan. The 2025 Balikatan exercises involve over 14,000 troops and simulated island defenses — moves Beijing says threaten regional peace. Chinese officials accuse the Philippines of colluding with foreign powers and warn the drills will disrupt stability and economic growth. As Australia, Japan, and others join or observe the war games, China warns: “Those who play with fire will get burned.” The Luzon Strait — near Taiwan — is now the center of global attention.

Retired Supreme Court Justice Adolfo Azcuna told senators that former President Duterte's arrest and surrender to the ICC may have bypassed a critical legal step—court presentation under Philippine law. Azcuna warned the missing procedure could be seen as “abuse of process” by the ICC and called on the Supreme Court to determine its legality. He raised concerns of “extrajudicial rendition,” urging a review ahead of the ICC’s pretrial in September 2025. Duterte faces charges over drug war killings linked to 43 murders, and risks life imprisonment if convicted.

Duterte reportedly sought asylum in China amid fears of an International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest. China has denied media reports that former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte sought asylum in the country before his arrest on March 11, 2025. Beijing's Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Guo Jiakun, stated that neither Duterte nor his family submitted an asylum request. Duterte was detained in Manila following an ICC warrant for crimes against humanity related to his controversial war on drugs, which led to thousands of extrajudicial killings.
