MANILA (Reuters) - President Ferdinand Marcos has suffered a "significant" drop in his approval rating as soaring consumer prices in the Philippines undermines his support, a polling organisation said on Monday. "Continuing increase in prices of basic commodities and services and unfulfilled promise of reducing these," likely caused the "significant" drop in the approval ratings, said Ronald Holmes, president of Pulse Asia. Marcos' presidential communications office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Last month, Marcos imposed price ceilings for rice. Vice President Sara Duterte, daughter of former president Rodrigo Duterte, also suffered a decline in approval ratings, dropping 11 points to 73%.

☆ Should We Oust Our Co-op Managing Agent and Find Another?
▼ + stars: | 2023-09-23 | by ( Jill Terreri Ramos | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

“There needs to be transparency on the part of the co-op board and the managing agent as to why there was spotty service throughout the summer,” said Debra J. Guzov, a real estate lawyer in Manhattan. “If there is a problem, the board has a duty to the shareholders to address that problem.”The managing agent is hired by the co-op’s board of directors and typically assigns an account representative to carry out the co-op’s business at the direction of the board. Your managing agent should bring in an engineer or reputable heating-and-cooling company to inspect the air-conditioning equipment and identify the problem. If the board is dissatisfied with the managing agent, it can request a different account representative for the building or even terminate the managing agent’s contract and hire another company. “Finding the right managing agent and assigned property manager is always a challenge,” said Ronald H. Gitter, a real estate lawyer who focuses on co-ops and condominiums.

Apu Gomes/Pool via REUTERSLOS ANGELES, Feb 22 (Reuters) - A California man was sentenced on Wednesday to at least 60 years in prison for the 2019 killing of Grammy-winning rapper Nipsey Hussle after a chance encounter in the south Los Angeles neighborhood where the men grew up. A jury had found Eric Holder Jr, 32, guilty of first-degree murder in July 2022 for fatally shooting Hussle outside a clothing store the rapper owned. Holder was ordered to serve an additional 10 years in prison for shooting two bystanders. Public defender Aaron Jansen acknowledged that Holder killed Hussle but argued that he should not be convicted of first-degree murder because he said the attack was not pre-meditated.
