MANILA, Philippines – Leyte 1st District Rep. Martin Romualdez said the 20th Congress must push for laws that will help the country attain upper middle-income status. This came after the World Bank reported that the Philippines had a gross national income (GNI) per capita of US$4,470 in 2024 — just $26 short of the $4,496

ITV’S iconic commentary duo of Ned Boulting and David Millar are gearing up for one last lap around France.

That’s because, after this year, the world’s most famous bike race will disappear from free-to-air TV coverage.

When the last rider crosses the finish line on the Champs-Elysees on July 27 – in less than four weeks’ time – it will mark the end of four decades of free-to-air Tour de France coverage for those on British soil.

ITV is pulling out of cycling coverage in 2026, meaning Warner Bros Discovery channels – otherwise known as TNT Sports channels and online streaming service Discovery+ – will be the only place cycling fans can watch their favourite sport in the UK.

Last year it was announced that TNT would be absorbing all cycling coverage shown on Eurosport, with the channel disappearing at the end of February.

ITV4 will continue to show live coverage of the race this year, but fans are faced with a dilemma from then onwards – fork out £30 a month for a TNT subscription or watch the highlights later on.

According to reports, Warner Bros could still show highlights on free-to-air TV, with Quest being among the contenders having shown highlights of the Giro d’Italia in May.

Just two years out from Britain once again hosting the Grand Depart for a fifth time, Tour de France general director Christian Prudhomme said he hopes there will be a resolution.

Speaking in March at the confirmation that the UK would host stages in England, Wales and Scotland in 2027, Prudhomme said: “I do hope, and I do believe that the stages in the UK will be live and free to air in 2027.

“But there will be discussions. We’re optimistic.”

This year’s edition of Le Tour rolls out the northern French city of Lille on Saturday, barely an hour’s drive from Calais.

Among the British hopefuls are the retiring former winner Geraint Thomas, recently-crowned British Time Trial champion Ethan Hayter and rising stars Oscar Onley and Jake Stewart.

Despite dominating the sport for years with Bradley Wiggins, Chris Froome and Thomas all taking home the famous Yellow Jersey, there looks to be little hope of a Brit being crowned champion this time out.

Reigning champion Tadej Pogacar will go head-to-head with biggest rival Jonas Vingegaard once again.

The pair have been almost untouchable in the sport for the last four years, with just 85 seconds separating the duo in their total race time at Le Tour since 2021.

AHEAD of hurling’s Old Firm derby, Tommy Walsh has hailed his former team-mate Derek Lyng for ensuring Kilkenny remain a grand old team to play for.

Lyng had massive shoes to fill when he succeeded legendary boss Brian Cody for the 2023 season.

And while the gap to their 2015 Liam MacCarthy Cup triumph has yet to be bridged, the Cats have retained their place among the leading contenders.

Having been on the losing side against Limerick at the end of his first season in charge, Lyng is one victory away from another All-Ireland SHC decider.

He has also steered the black and amber to three successive Leinster titles as their provincial supremacy continued for a sixth year on the spin.

And Walsh has been encouraged by how Kilkenny avoided going into the type of freefall experienced by Manchester United following the departure of their own iconic gaffer.

The nine-time All-Ireland winner said: “Look, what do you want out of your hurling team? You want to be competing.

“That every year you go out, you have a chance and you hope that you’re going to be the All-Ireland champions come the end of July.

“We’ve seen it in Manchester United after Alex Ferguson.

“Manchester United have fallen away down to 17th in the table. And that was the worry that when Brian Cody left, would the same happen to maybe Kilkenny?

“It didn’t and Derek has kept us competing after winning six Leinsters now in a row and in All-Ireland finals, All-Ireland semi-finals every year.

“And with Limerick gone, it’s nearly a weight off every other team that’s left in the Championship that, ‘You know what?

“We can do it this year and we don’t have to produce this extraordinary performance to beat Limerick to go on and win an All-Ireland’.

“Now you’re nearly seeing every other team that’s left in the Championship as your equal.

“I think that was narrowed again even more so when your All-Ireland semi-final opponents are Tipperary, because I think whether that’s a qualifier, whether that’s an All-Ireland final, semi-final, I don’t think that matters.

“This is a derby. This is Celtic versus Rangers, Manchester United versus Manchester City, Liverpool versus Manchester United.”

Not since their 2019 All-Ireland final defeat have Kilkenny faced Tipperary in the Championship.

The recent winning of underage titles at the expense of their neighbours has helped the Premier to retain the bragging rights in the meantime.

But Tullaroan native Walsh, who grew up just a few kilometres from Tipp territory, hopes Lyng’s side can set the record straight tomorrow by advancing to the July 20 showpiece against Cork or Dublin.

SPLIT DECISION

The former Kilkenny star said: “I suppose both sides of the border would know exactly what’s going on in each other’s heads and you’re just praying that your team comes out the right side of it.

“Tipperary have done it in the All-Ireland minor final last year, they’ve done it in the All-Ireland Under-20 final this year, so we’re praying that maybe this time we’ll get the bit of luck and that we’ll get the right side of it.

“From our playing days, there’s nothing that prepares you for a derby.

“They’re ones you just have to live through the experience.”
The Cats’ Eoin Cody will make his long-awaited return tomorrow after a ten-week lay-off due to injury.

Tipp manager Liam Cahill has announced the same team that started their All-Ireland quarter-final defeat of Galway.

In the swirling tides of Thailand’s political landscape, a name appears time and time again—Paetongtarn Shinawatra. Once at the helm of the country’s governance, Paetongtarn finds herself in the pulpit of influence again, this time as the steward of culture. Recently enfolded in an intricate web of diplomatic whispers, she forcefully dispels any notion of Thailand imminently returning a trove of 20 ancient artifacts to neighboring Cambodia. With clear determination, Paetongtarn reiterates that while a principle agreement exists, the wheels of such a delicate transfer are far from being set in motion, owing to fiscal constraints and thorny cross-border dynamics. A seasoned voice of reason amid turbulent times, she firmly declares, “This matter is far from the kind that demands urgency, especially under current circumstances.” The air of controversy sees no rest as Paetongtarn navigates allegations like a seasoned sailor tackling treacherous waters. Only a day prior, July 4, she…

In a case that could easily be mistaken for a plot twist in a summer thriller, a daring late-night grab left beachgoers along Patong Beach reeling in disbelief. But in an impressively coordinated effort, the local police proved that justice never sleeps, successfully apprehending the culprits in record time. The scene of the crime? None other than the lively sands of Patong Beach, where two unsuspecting Burmese suspects found themselves at the center of an impromptu police operation. The arrests, carried out on the 4th of July, saw officers descend upon a property nestled at 122/4 Soi Prom Phriang within Phuket’s captivating Thalang district. This operation, a seamless display of law enforcement prowess, was spearheaded under the keen supervision of Police Colonel Chalermchai Hirasawat, the astute Superintendent of Patong Police Station. The operational muscle was lent by Police Lieutenant Colonel Suchart Chumphusang, Deputy Superintendent of Investigation, along with Pol. Lt.…
