Originally published on December 17th, 2024 due to overslept issue.

HINOBA-AN, NEGROS OCCIDENTAL -- A 4.8 magnitude earthquake hit Hinoba-an town in Negros Occidental, happening last Tuesday afternoon (December 17th, 2024 at 3:37pm -- Dumaguete local time), just a week before the traditional Christmas Day event. This tectonic tremor occurred at a depth of 34 kilometers, with its epicenter located just only 1km to the northeast of the town, as according to Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS).

The earthquake was felt differently in strength across the Negros Island Region (NIR). In the town of Hinoba-an, it reached Intensity 5, which caused noticeable shaking and movement of buildings. In other areas -- such as San Jose de Buenavista, Anini-y and Hamtic in Antique, and Pamplona, Siaton, Mabinay, Basay and Bayawan City in Negros Oriental, the shaking was milder at Intensity 3.

In Dumaguete City, together with Tanjay, Amlan, Bais, Sibulan and Valencia, OneNETnews was first to witness that there was a light shake that occurred before 3:40pm, which was Intensity 2. Meanwhile… Tayasan, Ayungon and Guihulngan in Negros Oriental had also experienced the milder shake that had been given a classification of Intensity 1. Instrumental recordings revealed an Intensity 4 in Sipalay, Negros Occidental; and Intensity 3 was reported in San Jose de Buenavista, Antique. Other places which reported with Intensities 2 and 1 were those in Anini-y of Antique, Bago and La Carlota towns in Negros Occidental, and Canlaon in Negros Oriental.

Despite the strong shaking, the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) said that the power transmission in Negros Occidental remained stable, with no reported cases of power interruption or damaged transmission facilities. The municipal hall in Hinoba-an reported minor damage, with part of the canopy at the entrance falling off.

PHIVOLCS said, the aftershocks will most likely happen but no significant damage is expected. Residents of the places that were hit were put on alert to take precautions for this said town of Hinoba-an and the rest of NIR.

G.R. No. 142820            June 20, 2003

WOLFGANG O. ROEHR, petitioner, vs. MARIA CARMEN D. RODRIGUEZ, HON. JUDGE JOSEFINA GUEVARA-SALONGA, Presiding Judge of Makati RTC, Branch 149, respondents.

QUISUMBING, J.:

At the core of the present controversy are issues of (a) grave abuse of discretion allegedly committed by public respondent and (b) lack of jurisdiction of the regional trial court, in matters that spring from a divorce decree obtained abroad by petitioner.

In this special civil action for certiorari, petitioner assails (a) the order dated September 30, 1999 of public respondent Judge Josefina Guevara-Salonga, Presiding Judge of Makati Regional Trial Court, Branch 149, in Civil Case No. 96-1389 for declaration of nullity of marriage, and (b) the order dated March 31, 2000 denying his motion for reconsideration. The assailed orders partially set aside the trial court’s order dismissing Civil Case No. 96-1389, for the purpose of resolving issues relating to the property settlement of the spouses and the custody of their children.

Petitioner Wolfgang O. Roehr, a German citizen and resident of Germany, married private respondent Carmen Rodriguez, a Filipina, on December 11, 1980 in Hamburg, Germany. Their marriage was subsequently ratified on February 14, 1981 in Tayasan, Negros Oriental. Out of their union were born Carolynne and Alexandra Kristine on November 18, 1981 and October 25, 1987, respectively.

On August 28, 1996, private respondent filed a petition  for declaration of nullity of marriage before the Regional Trial Court (RTC) of Makati City. On February 6, 1997, petitioner filed a motion to dismiss, but it was denied by the trial court in its order dated May 28, 1997.

On June 5, 1997, petitioner filed a motion for reconsideration, but was also denied in an order  dated August 13, 1997. On September 5, 1997, petitioner filed a petition for certiorari with the Court of Appeals. On November 27, 1998, the appellate court denied the petition and remanded the case to the RTC.

Meanwhile, petitioner obtained a decree of divorce from the Court of First Instance of Hamburg-Blankenese, promulgated on December 16, 1997.

The marriage of the Parties contracted on December 1980 before the Civil Registrar of Hamburg-Altona is hereby dissolved.

The parental custody for the children

Carolynne Roehr, born 18 November 1981

Alexandra Kristine Roehr, born on 25 October 1987

is granted to the father.

The litigation expenses shall be assumed by the Parties.

In view of said decree, petitioner filed a Second Motion to Dismiss on May 20, 1999 on the ground that the trial court had no jurisdiction over the subject matter of the action or suit as a decree of divorce had already been promulgated dissolving the marriage of petitioner and private respondent.

On July 14, 1999, Judge Guevara-Salonga issued an order granting petitioner’s motion to dismiss. Private respondent filed a Motion for Partial Reconsideration, with a prayer that the case proceed for the purpose of determining the issues of custody of children and the distribution of the properties between petitioner and private respondent.

On August 18, 1999, an Opposition to the Motion for Partial Reconsideration was filed by the petitioner on the ground that there is nothing to be done anymore in the instant case as the marital tie between petitioner Wolfgang Roehr and respondent Ma. Carmen D. Rodriguez had already been severed by the decree of divorce promulgated by the Court of First Instance of Hamburg, Germany on December 16, 1997 and in view of the fact that said decree of divorce had already been recognized by the RTC in its order of July 14, 1999, through the implementation of the mandate of Article 26 of the Family Code, endowing the petitioner with the capacity to remarry under the Philippine law.

On September 30, 1999, respondent judge issued the assailed order partially setting aside her order dated July 14, 1999 for the purpose of tackling the issues of property relations of the spouses as well as support and custody of their children. The pertinent portion of said order provides:

Acting on the Motion for Partial Reconsideration of the Order dated July 14, 1999 filed by petitioner thru counsel which was opposed by respondent and considering that the second paragraph of Article 26 of the Family Code was included as an amendment thru Executive Order 227, to avoid the absurd situation of a Filipino as being still married to his or her alien spouse though the latter is no longer married to the Filipino spouse because he/she had obtained a divorce abroad which is recognized by his/her national law, and considering further the effects of the termination of the marriage under Article 43 in relation to Article 50 and 52 of the same Code, which include the dissolution of the property relations of the spouses, and the support and custody of their children, the Order dismissing this case is partially set aside with respect to these matters which may be ventilated in this Court.

Petitioner filed a timely motion for reconsideration on October 19, 1999, which was denied .

ISSUES :

1. Whether or not respondent judge gravely abused her discretion in issuing her order dated September 30, 1999, which partially modified her order dated July 14, 1999; and

2. Whether or not respondent judge gravely abused her discretion when she assumed and retained jurisdiction over the present case despite the fact that petitioner has already obtained a divorce decree from a German court.

In every case, the resolution shall state clearly and distinctly the reasons therefore.

Private respondent, on her part, argues that the RTC can validly reconsider its order dated July 14, 1999 because it had not yet attained finality, given the timely filing of respondent’s motion for reconsideration.

It is clear from the foregoing rules that a judge can order a partial reconsideration of a case that has not yet attained finality. Considering that private respondent filed a motion for reconsideration within the reglementary period .

In the second issue, petitioner claims that respondent judge committed grave abuse of discretion when she partially set aside her order dated July 14, 1999, despite the fact that petitioner has already obtained a divorce decree from the Court of First Instance of Hamburg, Germany.

As a general rule, divorce decrees obtained by foreigners in other countries are recognizable in our jurisdiction, but the legal effects thereof, e.g. on custody, care and support of the children, must still be determined by our courts.23 Before our courts can give the effect of res judicata to a foreign judgment, such as the award of custody to petitioner by the German court, it must be shown that the parties opposed to the judgment had been given ample opportunity to do so .

RULINGS:

WHEREFORE, the orders of the Regional Trial Court of Makati, Branch 149, issued on September 30, 1999 and March 31, 2000 are AFFIRMED with MODIFICATION. We hereby declare that the trial court has jurisdiction over the issue between the parties as to who has parental custody, including the care, support and education of the children, namely Carolynne and Alexandra Kristine Roehr. Let the records of this case be remanded promptly to the trial court for continuation of appropriate proceedings. No pronouncement as to costs.

SO ORDERED.

Where a marriage between a Filipino citizen and a foreigner is validly celebrated and a divorce is thereafter validly obtained abroad by the alien spouse capacitating him or her to remarry, the Filipino spouse shall likewise have capacity to remarry under Philippine law. The trial court was correct in setting the issue for hearing to determine the issue of parental custody, care, support and education mindful of the best interests of the children. This is in consonance with the provision in the Child and Youth Welfare Code that the child’s welfare is always the paramount consideration in all questions concerning his care and custody.

WOLFGANG O. ROEHR, petitioner

 vs.

 MARIA CARMEN D. RODRIGUEZ, HON. JUDGE JOSEFINA GUEVARA-SALONGA, Presiding Judge of Makati RTC, Branch 149, respondents G.R. No. 142820 . June 20, 2003

FACTS:

Petitioner Wolfgang O. Roehr, a German citizen, married private respondent Carmen Rodriguez, a Filipina, on December 11, 1980 in Germany. Their marriage was subsequently ratified on February 14, 1981 in Tayasan, Negros Oriental. Out of their union were born Carolynne and Alexandra Kristine. Carmen filed a petition for declaration of nullity of marriage before the Makati Regional Trial Court (RTC). Wolfgang filed a motion to dismiss, but it was denied. Meanwhile, Wolfgang obtained a decree of divorce from the Court of First Instance of Hamburg-Blankenese. Said decree also provides that the parental custody of the children should be vested to Wolfgang. Wolfgang filed another motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction as a divorce decree had already been promulgated, and said motion was granted by Public Respondent RTC Judge Salonga. Carmen filed a Motion for Partial Reconsideration, with a prayer that the case proceed for the purpose of determining the issues of custody of children and the distribution of the properties between her and Wolfgang. Judge Salonga partially set aside her previous order for the purpose of tackling the issues of support and custody of their children.

ISSUE:

W/N Judge Salonga was correct in granting a partial motion for reconsideration.

RULING:

A judge can order a partial reconsideration of a case that has not yet attained finality, as in the case at bar. The Supreme Court goes further to say that the court can modify or alter a judgment even after the same has become executory whenever circumstances transpire rendering its decision unjust and inequitable, as where certain facts and circumstances justifying or requiring such modification or alteration transpired after the judgment has become final and executory and when it becomes imperative in the higher interest of justice or when supervening events warrant it.

3. Roehr v Rodriguez, June 20 2003

Facts:

Petitioner Wolfgang O. Roehr, a German citizen, married private respondent Carmen Rodriguez, a Filipina, on December 11, 1980, in Germany. Their marriage was subsequently ratified on February 14, 1981, in Tayasan, Negros Oriental. Out of their union were born Carolynne and Alexandra Kristine.

Carmen filed a petition for a declaration of nullity of marriage before the Makati RTC. Meanwhile, Wolfgang obtained a decree of divorce from Germany. The decree provides that the parental custody of the children should be vested in Wolfgang. Wolfgang filed a motion to dismiss the nullity case as a divorce decree had already been promulgated, which was granted to the respondent by Judge Salonga.

Carmen filed a motion with a prayer that the case should proceed for the purpose of determining the issues of custody of the children and the distribution of the properties between her and Wolfgang. Judge Salonga partially set aside her previous order for the purpose of tackling the issues of support and custody of their children.

Issue:

Whether or not it is valid to assume jurisdiction to tackle child custody and support.

Held:

Yes. Divorce decrees obtained by foreigners in other countries are recognized in our jurisdiction, but the legal effects thereof, such as custody must still be determined by our courts. Before our courts can give the effect of res judicata to a foreign judgment, it must be shown that the parties opposed to the judgment had been given ample opportunity to do so. In the present case, it cannot be said that the private respondent was given the opportunity to challenge the judgment of the German court. The trial court was correct in setting the issue for a hearing to determine the issue of parental custody, care, support, and education mindful of the best interests of the children.

BALITANG REHIYONAL: Guihulngan Radio Anchor and Commentator of DYJL-FM 94.5's Like Radio News FM fired for alleged political bias and illegal online gambling [#OneNETnewsEXCLUSIVE]

Originally published on September 28th, 2024 due to Technical Issues.

(Written by Miko Kubota / K5 Tele-Serbisyo Patrol #4 news reporter of OneNETnews & Station Manager and President of ONC)

GUIHULNGAN, NEGROS ORIENTAL -- A well-known local radio anchor and commentator 'Mr. Jofferson Languita Biangos', known simply as 'Jeff Biangos' of DYJL-FM 94.5mhz's Like Radio News FM in Guihulngan City had recently been terminated from his position. His dismissal came following allegations of political interference in his work, as well as his involvement in illegal online gambling using Philippine electronic wallets such as GCash, which he allegedly has, a series of social media posts claimed on Facebook (owned by Meta Platforms Inc. [MPi]).

For those who don't know, Mr. Biangos has been a leader in the audible media of Guihulngan. He ran independently for the Sangguniang Panlungsod (SP) in the 2022 Philippine elections. Even as he pursued his dreams in politics however, Biangos continued being the radio commentator that was unabashed and controversy-seeking. For this reason, his career had a following among outspoken opinions on matters and the localities' politics on free radio.

He worked previously in the 2010s such as DYSK-FM 92.1's Radyo Natin: Guihulngan; DYKC-AM 675khz's RPN Radyo Ronda: Cebu; 98.1 Muews Radio: Tayasan (now known as Starr Radio); 90.5 Mabuhay Radio: Jimalalud; and 92.9 Edge Radio in this said city of Guihulngan. Some FM stations clamped out by the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) and the Kapisanan ng mga Broadkaster ng Pilipinas (KBP), who were illegally operating FM and/or AM radio stations in the region.

In an official statement last Wednesday (September 25th, 2024 -- Guihulngan local time), the management of 'Like Radio News FM' announced that Mr. Biangos is no longer affiliated with any Like Radio or Easy Radio stations across Negros Island Region (NIR). Sources suggest to OneNETnews that Biangos used his platform outside of his job to influence political outcomes and illegally promoting unlicensed online gambling.

These activities have raised concerns regarding the integrity of the local media and the possible misuse of the public's trust. They urged as advised for Negrosanons to the public to disregard any content or programs attributed to him like 'Atraka Balita' radio programme, in relation to these above-mentioned local FM radio stations.

Since he was terminated on his local journalist work on free radio, Mr. Biangos has been at the sharp end of criticism and public backlash that falls below the trap line. The community remains divided on the issue, with some holding that he deserved to be dismissed and others questioning the claims brought against him. His future in news radio is in the balance as he confronts what have been his worst challenges so far.

Local authorities and government agencies like Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) that his public servant of Guihulngan will be no more. Like Radio News FM in Guihulngan City is an affiliate local radio station of Capitol Broadcasting Center (CBC) and a flagship AM radio station of DZME-AM 1530khz's Radyo Uno in Metro Manila.
