- The Paranaque City Police filed a case of murder before the Prosecutor's Office against four suspects in the murder of a 26-year-old Solaire Resort and Casino assistant manager Edgel Joy Durolfo.

- Reports state that the Japanese government mulls leasing five of its retired training jets to the Philippine Navy. Based on the report, the Philippines will use the TC-90, used by the Japan Maritime Self Defense Force, for air patrol missions in the South China Sea. This jet has a radius of action twice of the aircraft currently used by the Philippine Navy and will be able to cover most of the islands in the Spratly Group. However, the TC-90 doesn't come with radars and other devices as they will only be used for visual monitoring over the Spratly Islands.

- The tsunami warning buoys installed off the coast of Indonesia were badly damaged during last Wednesday's M7.8 quake. According to Indonesia's National Disaster Mitigation Agency, none of the 22 buoys are functioning well. The buoys are part of a tsunami early-warning system and they've set them up with help from other countries after the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami killed over 160,000 people. The Indonesian government is expected to come under pressure to review its disaster preparedness plan.
