The Philippines is facing widespread public outrage as nepo babies, the children of politicians and contractors, flaunt luxury lifestyles while the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has come under scrutiny for flood control projects plagued by corruption, ghost projects, and substandard work. These projects, intended to protect communities from devastating floods, have allegedly diverted billions in public funds, leaving ordinary citizens vulnerable to natural disasters. Social media has amplified the outrage, drawing attention to the stark contrast between the extravagant lives of the families involved and the struggles of Filipinos who continue to suffer from inadequate infrastructure and systemic mismanagement. On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Aries Arugay, Professor & Chair, Department of Political Science, University of the Philippines Diliman, to find out more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Natalie van Dongen grew up in a small farming community outside a modest city in central Illinois. She spent most of her youth either in school or in the woods by her home. Approaching high school graduation, she wanted to study theater in college and definitely didn't want to go to Butler University, where both of her parents graduated. But that's where she eventually chose to go. Two weeks ago, she became the Hogsett administration's point person for addressing the concerns and complaints of nearly 1 million Indianapolis residents. In eight years, she had risen from an internship with the mayor's office to the city's director of community outreach. Along the way, her positions included liaison to the City-County Council and then deputy director of policy and planning for the Department of Public Works. She was a key figure in the city's push for universal curbside recycling that's now expected to begin in 2028. In this week's edition of the IBJ Podcast, host Mason King asks Van Dongen about the principles of effective communication with an incredibly broad range of people and organizations. She also digs into the nitty-gritty of universal curbside recycling and the education campaign planned over the next two years. And she excavates her roots in the village of Towanda, Illinois, and how they led her to explore the power of community.

A long time CBC Radio stalwart has left the ranks of the Nahanni Fontaine fan club and has called for the NDP Government House Leader to resign her portfolio as Minister for Accessibility. Episode 32 has the details of Kim Wheeler's very personal analysis of Fontaine's twisted apology to the Deaf and hard of hearing community. Part 1- A recap of our most recent columns in the Winnipeg Sun: RBC abandons West End customers https://winnipegsun.com/opinion/columnists/gold-rbc-abandons-west-end-customersSt. Boniface Church threatened by bike lane getsunlikely champion (check the postscript below for late-breaking news about it)https://winnipegsun.com/opinion/columnists/gold-st-boniface-church-threatened-by-bike-lane-gets-unlikely-champion8.10 Part 2- Even before she entered politics, Nahanni Fontaine expressed prejudice towards white people and made excuses for aboriginal gang culture. As an NDP government advisor she demeaned domestic violence shelter supporters, and even after election to the Legislature, Fontaine concealed her name change for years until we uncovered it. Now she's exposed her nasty disposition after insulting an interpreter translating her speech to indigenous graduates, for daring to be in her line of sight.We set the scene of a government organized ceremony to celebrate the academic achievement of her indigenous 'sisters', and how APTN bravely told the public about Fontaine's post-speech tantrum about being "thrown off" because "the woman shouldn't have been on the stage."Hear the experience of a parent at the event who saw that the interpreter was removed after Fontaine's tirade: "When you disrespect the interpreter, you disrespect the Deaf community."After the APTN broadcast, the St. John's MLA gave an apology made up of word salad and BS. You'll hear how this isn't the first time Fontaine has claimed objectionable comments she was party to were somehow "private".18.00 Free Press columnist Dan Lett tried to help the embattled Fontaine off the hook, claiming demands for her to quit were coming only from the opposition PCs. Portraying her Families Minister portfolio in Wab Kinew's government as minor and her stint as being "low-key", Lett ignored her self-promoting TikTok branding and her ongoing support for Hamas and anti-Zionist canards. Lett called her remarks "ill-advised." But as Kim Wheeler pointed out, there was no advice involved. This was Fontaine, being herself. "The other side is calling the minister to account. And they should. It was behaviour unbecoming an MLA and the Minister Responsible for Accessibility. It is ableist. And if she is comfortable saying this at a public event, what does she say behind closed doors?"As the mother of a Deaf daughter, and friends with a similar family at the ceremony, Wheeler posted that "Nahanni Fontaine must be held to account. She should resign her portfolio as Minister Responsible for Accessibility."In front of the most favourable hometown crowd possible, Nahanni Fontaine couldn't keep her ego in check. We have all the details, with some additional insight. We know what Wade Williams would say.32.15 Part 3 - The Season Six campaign is closing in on $2000, as we drive towards the $10k target.Marty tells how you can contribute towards making sure the costs of being Your Voice are met so we can continue holding City Hall, the Manitoba NDP government, bureaucracies and institutions - and the local media - accountable to you, your family and your community.For more details or to send an E-Transfer- email martygoldlive@gmail.com*****Post production Postscript- Not so fast, Bike Lobby.We learned that St. Boniface Councillor Matt Allard has sent a letter to the Public Works committee asking for the 'Moving on Marion' project to be put on hold until he has a chance to ensure the Norwood Grove Biz, the Church at 380 Marion, and the area residents can have a proper say in the plan.

“Closed mouths don't get fed. If you don't speak up about what your fleet really needs, no one's going to help you.”In this laugh-out-loud, wisdom-packed episode of The Fleet Success Show, hosts Josh Turley and Marc Canton sit down with Harold Siguenza, the Assistant Director of Public Works for the City of Avondale, Arizona.

It's a full-throttle leap from car sales to budget analyst to fleet operations and beyond.Harold shares how he transformed from “the guy asking what a budget office even does” to the trusted leader of multiple divisions including fleet, solid waste, transit, and pavement preservation. Along the way, he exposes the harsh reality of “finance PTSD,” breaks down how to actually get your fleet replacement budget approved, and drops truth bombs on leadership, trust, and the secret to building a legacy beyond the garage.This one is for every fleet manager who's ever wondered, “What's next?” Harold shows that fleet isn't just a job—it's a launching pad for a purpose-driven career in public service.Key TakeawaysFleet + Finance = Power: Understanding how budget offices think helps you win more resources—and influence.Squeaky Wheels Win Replacements: You get what you ask for—so stop lowballing your budget out of fear.Leadership is Trust First: Harold reveals how trusting his team (and asking tons of questions) built powerful alignment.Fleet Pros Isn't Just a Club—It's a Career Accelerator: Why Fleet Pros' new 101 series is grooming the next generation of leaders.Succession Planning is Not Optional: Your legacy isn't your title—it's who comes after you.Speaker BiosHarold SiguenzaAssistant Director of Public Works, City of AvondaleA fleet outsider turned fleet champion, Harold's story blends public administration, fleet management, and a relentless drive to serve the public.

“P” is for Poinsett Bridge. Named for Joel Roberts Poinsett, president of the Board of Public Works (1819-1821), the Poinsett Bridge (with a span of 130 feet over Little Gap Creek) was built during the construction of the state highway from Columbia to Saluda Mountain in 1820.

Karen Read Trial Day 27 - Snow Plow Driver Proves To Unreliable Witness The Karen Read murder trial took a dramatic turn when snowplow driver Brian "Lucky" Loughran delivered testimony that could completely destroy the prosecution's case against Karen Read in the death of Boston Police Officer John O'Keefe. In this deep dive analysis, we break down the five most damaging revelations from Loughran's testimony that expose serious problems with the timeline prosecutors have been pushing for over three years. Loughran, who operated the Canton Department of Public Works snowplow "Frankentruck" during the January 29, 2022 blizzard, testified under oath that he saw absolutely nothing on the Albert family lawn at 2:45 AM where John O'Keefe's body was later discovered. This directly contradicts the prosecution's theory that O'Keefe was struck by Karen Read's SUV around 12:45 AM and lay dying in the snow for hours. The implications are staggering. If Loughran's testimony is accurate, it means either the prosecution's timeline is completely wrong, or something far more sinister happened to John O'Keefe between 2:45 AM and 6:00 AM when his body was found. The defense team is arguing this proves their conspiracy theory that O'Keefe was actually murdered inside the Albert home and his body was moved outside to frame Karen Read. Special Prosecutor Hank Brennan launched an aggressive cross-examination, highlighting inconsistencies in Loughran's previous statements and his extensive exposure to media coverage of the case. But the core of his testimony remains: he saw nothing where a body should have been visible with his truck's powerful lights illuminating the area. We analyze every moment of this crucial testimony, examine the prosecution's desperate attempts to discredit this witness, and explore what this means for Karen Read's fight for freedom. Could this snowplow driver's observations be the key to exposing one of the biggest police cover-ups in Massachusetts history? #KarenRead #JohnOKeefe #TrueCrime #PoliceCorruption #MurderTrial #BostonPolice #JusticeForKaren #CourtCase #Canton #Massachusetts Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?  Check out our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenkillerspod Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Tik-Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenkillerspod X Twitter https://x.com/tonybpod Listen Ad-Free On Apple Podcasts Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-crime-today-premium-plus-ad-free-advance-episode/id1705422872
