So we’re learning that we’re all just about to feel the real crunch from the war in the Middle East, but not everything is bad news. Court evidence has just linked ex-congressman Zaldy Co to a company — his — involved in flood control corruption. Google and Meta lose a court case that accuses them of decidedly hooking youngsters on their addictive platforms. The Strait of Hormuz is not entirely closed to the world — just to Israel, the US, and everyone who deals with these two. And President Marcos is dealing with the resulting energy crisis by starting a new committee. Whoopee.

Oh and yeah, a bunch of lawyers again tries to save VP Sara Duterte from impeachment.

For the full, glorious details:

#5: Henry Alcantara’s testimony proves Zaldy Co is a contractor – prosecution

#4: Duterte-allied lawyers ask SC to stop VP Sara impeachment anew + Sara impeachment vs energy crisis? Camps battle to control the story

#3: Meta, Google lose US case over social media harm to kids + What Meta and Google’s guilty verdict in landmark trial means to you

#2: Iran tells UN: ‘Non-hostile’ ships can transit Strait of Hormuz + Iran says it is reviewing US proposal to end war + Trump extends pause on striking Iran’s energy plants into April

#1: Marcos declares national energy emergency amid Middle East crisis + Worst-case scenario: At least 50% rice, pork, chicken price hike if Gulf crisis persists + What is UPLIFT and what does a ‘national energy emergency’ mean?

TL;DR? Then watch the video. – Rappler.com

Tokyo Fashion Brand Expands Into Bitcoin and AI

The post Tokyo Fashion Brand Expands Into Bitcoin and AI appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. On Wednesday, Japanese casual apparel retailer Mac House announced that shareholders approved a name change to Gyet Co., Ltd., signaling a strategic shift into crypto and digital assets. The move highlights a broader corporate plan centered on cryptocurrency, blockchain, and artificial intelligence. It reflects the company’s ambition to launch a global Bitcoin treasury program, drawing attention from both domestic and international observers. “Yet” and Its Global Significance Gyet’s amended corporate charter introduces wide-ranging digital initiatives, adding cryptocurrency acquisition, trading, management, and payment services.

Its goal of holding more than 1,000 BTC is modest globally, but the model—funding purchases and mining with retail cash flow—remains unusual for an apparel business. Within Japan, Gyet follows companies such as Hotta Marusho and Kitabo, which have also diversified into cryptocurrency activities distinct from their original operations.
