For more than a decade, Jeffrey Ongoco has watched much of his daughter’s childhood unfold through a screen. The 46-year-old, who works as a document controller for a construction company in Doha, left the Philippines in 2007 for a job in Saudi Arabia before moving to Qatar in 2010. He and his wife work in Doha to support their 16-year-old daughter, who has lived in the Philippines since infancy, cared for by relatives in Bataan province, about 130km (80 miles) northwest of Manila. Advertisement It was a sacrifice the couple felt they had to make to give her a better life. “As parents, we don’t want our kids to experience the hardships we had before. So even if it’s very difficult for parents to be away from their children, we will do everything we can for their future,” Ongoco said. Being away from your family is never easy Jeffrey Ongoco, overseas Filipino worker Their story reflects the tough trade-off in the lives of many overseas Filipino workers (OFWs): the chance to earn more abroad, but often at the cost of years spent away from the people they left home to support.

As of May 25th, weekly prices were down 2 cents for regular and premium gasoline. Currently, the national average for regular gasoline stands at $4.48 per gallon, with premium averaging $5.43. These prices represent a significant jump since the start of the year, with regular gas up 59% and premium up 44%. Compared to one year ago, regular gas is 42% more expensive (up from $3.16), while premium has seen a 32% increase (up from $4.10). Gas Prices by State According to GasBuddy, regional price disparities have widened significantly, leaving a $2.23 gap between the nation’s highest and lowest averages. California currently holds the highest average for regular gas at $6.08, while Indiana offers the cheapest at $3.85. While nearly every state in the nation is now averaging over $4.00 per gallon, a clear geographic divide has emerged. The West Coast continues to lead the nation in fuel costs, though the ceiling has moved higher. California now stands alone as the only state with an average surpassing the $6.00 mark. The remainder of the West Coast (Alaska, Nevada, Oregon, Hawaii, and Washington) all maintain averages between $5.00 and $6.00. The most dramatic shift is seen in the middle tier; there are now 38 states across the West, Northeast, and Midwest falling into the $4.00 to $5.00 range, signaling a broad national increase. Conversely, the number of states with relatively lower prices has dwindled significantly. Only three states (Indiana, Oklahoma, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and Louisiana) remain below the $4.00 threshold, with these lowest averages concentrated mainly in the South. Behind the Price: Components and Inflation To understand these surges, it is helpful to look at the "price at the pump" as a sum of its parts. The retail price of gas is made up of four main components: 1) cost of crud...

The Daily Telegraph headlines on reporting that former British ambassador to the US Lord Peter Mandelson "told Cabinet how to do their jobs". The paper says files due to be released next week on the peer's time in Washington will show he "often messaged senior Labour politicians and officials with suggestions on how to conduct official business far outside his remit". It also carries the picture of a young woman, with the caption: "I was a Palestine activist... then I went to Israel."
The U.S. Justice Department charged Google software engineer Michele Spagnuolo with insider trading, alleging the employee made $1.2 million trading on Polymarket based on confidential business information.

The U.S. Justice Department charged Google software engineer Michele Spagnuolo with insider trading, alleging the employee made $1.2 million trading on Polymarket based on confidential business information. Spagnuolo, who used the name “AlphaRaccoon” on Polymarket, has worked at Google for over 12 years, according to information on LinkedIn. “As alleged, Spagnuolo violated the duties he owed to his employer and used Google’s confidential business information to make more than $1.2 million in trading profits on Polymarket,” Jay Clayton, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, said in a press release. “Insider trading compromises the integrity of our markets, and the American people want this greed-driven conduct investigated and prosecuted.” Prediction markets like Polymarket, Kalshi, and others allow users to bet on pretty much anything. Insider trading is not allowed on these platforms because it’s illegal, but some users still commit the offense. The Justice Department recently charged a U.S. Army soldier for allegedly using his insider knowledge of the U.S. military operation to capture Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro to make $400,000 on Polymarket. According to the complaint, Spagnuolo risked over $2.7 million on wagers related to Google’s 2025 Year in Search, a marketing campaign in which Google reveals the world’s most popular searches of the year. Spagnuolo allegedly accessed confidential, internal Google Search data about the most-searched celebrities to inform his bets. “Polymarket worked closely with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York and the CFTC, and is the only prediction platform to date whose cooperation has led to insider trading charges in the United States,” a Polymarket spokesperson told TechCrunch. “Blockchain trading is transparent, traceable, and bad actors leave footprints. We are committed to maintaining accurate, fair, and transparent markets as well as enforcing our rules and worki...
