LATE-BREAKING NEWS: NHCP officials will soon revoke a suspected musical event organizer 'Manila Sound', following the misuse of its illegal remix song "Lupang Hinirang" at an outdoor rave party in California [#FirstAndExclusiveOnTBB]

(Written by Andrea Davenport / Online News Correspondent of The Brighton Bugle & Assistant Station Manager of ONC Holdings Incorporated)

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA -- Someone played a hip-hop remix of the Philippine National Anthem at an outdoor Christmas rave party, briefly drawing the attention of the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP). Channel 8 News and The Brighton Bugle go for an emergency flight from the Quad Cities to Los Angeles to investigate the controversy regarding the performance at the backyard and its cultural implications.

The event titled "Manila Sound: Backyard Disco" is held every 1st Sunday of the month beginning March 2nd, 2025 until mid-December that year at Benny Boy Brewing (BBB). Filipino-Americans abroad and everywhere else in the Philippines are aware of the incident and express overwhelmingly negative reactions to the performance.

The video uploaded by @TitaGabs, shot beneath a large marquee pop-up tent, shows partygoers holding up smartphones and recording the performance as memorable clips. She later personally made their video private either Sunday night (December 14th, 2025 -- Pacific U.S. time) or late-Q1 2026, and it was independently & partially verified by Channel 8 News and The Brighton Bugle. This illegal hip-hop remix was based on the original soundtrack in acapella between sign-ons and sign-offs of "Lupang Hinirang" sung by Lissa del Valle et al. in 1998 from an album "Sandaan" under Universal Records Philippines (URP).

Some Filipinos were extremely offended and disrespectful online, but not in this state of California, at least. Under the Republic Act #8491: Sections 37 and 38, or the Flag and Heraldic Code of the Philippines, cited as combined in part: "Whether played or sung, shall be in accordance with the musical arrangement and composition of Julian Reyes Felipe, nor refraining to play for mere recreation, amusement, or entertainment purposes. Anything that misuses or disrespects the national anthem is punishable by fines and imprisonment between PHP5,000 and PHP20,000 Philippine pesos (or U$D81.60 and U$D326.40 dollars)".

The said national anthem is legally allowed to play as an exemption during opening or closing radio and television broadcasts (especially on the internet), before film screenings or theater performances, and at specific competitions.

Considering that the domestic laws cannot be applied extraterritorially, some national authorities are technically limited in pursuing legal action on the incident, though the case could be forwarded to California officials for a joint investigation between the two (2) nations. Organizers at 'Manila Sound' on BBB may face total consequences if the NHCP decides to file charges against them for violating the said code of law.

Although the pulse of Los Angeles has been thriving on the creative reinterpretation and the remix culture of things, this incident is a strong reminder that some symbols are sacred, even in the world of the viral loop. This strong position of the NHCP points to the existence of a deep-seated respect for the idea of "Lupang Hinirang" which obviously transcends the international borders since a specific respect should never be compromised at the expense of national dignity.

It remains to be seen whether this will result in a historic legal alliance between California and Manila authorities, but already, the virtual footprint of its privatized TikTok video has left its indelible mark on the Manila sound heritage. One thing is clear: the world is watching, and the music has gone silent at Benny Boy Brewing.

EDITOR's NOTE from Andrea in California: While The Brighton Bugle and Channel 8 News pride ourselves on being first to the scene, we remind our news readers that the sanctity of national symbols is a matter of global respect. The investigation into the "Manila Sound" event at Benny Boy Brewing remains ongoing. We urge our audience to engage in civil discourse as legal experts from both Los Angeles and Mega Manila navigate the complexities of extraterritorial domestic laws.

LATE-BREAKING OVERNIGHT: Spoofed Notification Alerts foiling the heist redirect users to Credential Traps at Cryptocurrency Exchange Company and E-Wallet Giant 'Coins.PH' [#Channel8NewsEXCLUSIVE]

(Written by Ridley Terrance Croft / Digital Tech Contributor of Nickelodeon Action News and Master Control of ONC Holdings)

PASIG, NATIONAL CAPITAL REGION -- In a sleepless, cybersecurity scare over the weekend that had everyone worried, as the Philippines' leading cryptocurrency electronic wallet fintech service 'Coins.PH' was hit with a coordinated phishing attack on thousands of users all across the country. The entire incident happened on Saturday night at around 9pm (March 7th, 2026 -- Pasig local time) as hackers began to roll out very convincing push notifications and suspicious e-mails, all pretending to be official Coins notifications in an effort to drive users to provide their access to an account.

Some of the scammy notifications, which we independently dug up, did a rather good job of convincing users that their account was flagged by suspicious activity, and they were on a rogue site to which they were about to be redirected in case of interaction. These fake URLs were intended to secure users to provide their login information and empty their online assets, including some fairly mainstream cryptos such as XRP and Solana. Across the entire archipelago, particularly in Dumaguete City struck unexpectedly, which only goes to prove how far-reaching it was. It is nothing more than somebody stole the items while being shoplifted, once the order is placed online through cash-on-delivery.

The mechanics of the breach were terrifyingly easy: when clicking on the fake push alerts, users were redirected to a site where they would have to re-authenticate their accounts by inputting all their sensitive information. But the trouble was, if they did that, the hackers would get all the access they needed to carry out unauthorized transactions and transfer funds in any amount, excluding the smaller money figures. It's pretty worrying stuff.

But thankfully, cybersecurity authorities like the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and Cybercrime Investigation and Coordination Center (CICC) were onto it in a jiffy, and swiftly blacklists all hackers' wallet addresses and virtually dismantled their phishing operation. Crucially though, Coins has said that no user funds, assets or personal data were actually compromised in the overnight scam, as the hackers were only after people who interacted with the dodgy links.

By Tuesday night (March 10th), all active campaigns in push notifications have now been suspended, pending a full internal audit. They've also promised to beef up their digital defenses with some much needed extra security measures. A joint investigation is going to get underway early next week, and the main focus is going to be on trying to track down the people behind the attack and stopping them from happening again. In an exclusive statement to OneNETnews, Coins said that users need to be proactive about their accounts and change their passwords, turn on two-factor authentication (2FA) on their mobile device, and keep an eye on their account activity. For those who didn't engage with the phishing attempts, they're good to go, but still wise to turn on 2FA as a certain precaution.

Users who did view the fake alerts have now been provided with a respective tech support, where they can report any fraudulent transactions made by the online attackers. The company itself is saying that all valid user funds are safe and sound, and there are some additional monitoring systems in place to detect and close any future threats. And with this recent cybersecurity threat to the crypto space in the Philippines, it serves as a timely reminder that in the modern day of changing financial frauds, one should be more vigilant with a good financial literacy and common sense online.

LATE-BREAKING NEWS: Indie Bulakeño vlogger and food entrepreneur 'JayTripper' abruptly paused factory construction to expand business for Chicken Pastil in a Jar [#OnlyOnOneNETnews]

PANDI, BULACAN -- Food entrepreneur and vlogger named 'Mr. Jayson Jacinto Guevarra', known online as "JayTripper" announced on his social media video that he abruptly paused plans to build a new factory and will instead lease a larger commercial space for his Chicken Pastil in a jar business, with guidance from the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) on future site planning.

In a video obtained by OneNETnews, "JayTripper" explained that he does not currently have sufficient funds to build a factory on new land, that the current price quotes overwhelmed his available budget, and that he is currently lacking funds to begin construction. By leasing an existing rental facility allows him to ramp up production quicker and fill the gap between retail sales and the potential purchases of physical resellers and distributors across its entire archipelago, including right here in Negros Island Region (NIR).

He began his excursion in mid-June 2024, 5 years after he vlogged about the sightseeing motobike adventure on its video-sharing site 'YouTube' in July 2019 (Google's parent company 'Alphabet'), then later transferred to Facebook under Meta Platforms Inc. (MPi) and initiated their e-commerce business in the Philippines as a lone buyer with 'TikTok Shop' and 'Shopee'. Currently this year, it has resumed its production, following a halt in Fall 2024, although the stoppage of production affected Filipino online consumers after removing all of its cooking team and seeking a new supplier.

Early this past weekend, the newly secured commercial space in an undisclosed location in Bulacan province is projected to double or triple the present output of Chicken Pastil in a jar, accommodate packaging lines for reseller and distributor orders, and create jobs for local Bulakeño residents exiting smaller-scale home operations.

He stressed the point that this new approach enables him to cater to the increased interest in the market without sacrificing the quality or stability of his financial situation. He also mentioned that he continued to work together with regional specialists of DOST-Central Luzon (Region 3), who will be used to draw out a more comprehensive design of a future purpose-built factory as soon as the revenue stream of the business will be strengthened.

For now, "JayTripper" encourages its followers and online consumers to stay connected through the official social media channels, as they look forward to frequent production updates with the new facility anticipated to rise later this Fall 2025 or thereabouts.

LATE-BREAKING OVERNIGHT: Food safety scandal rocks 'Studio Konkon' President "Naomi Fukushima" amid accusations of workplace negligence against the late animation director 'Natsuko Hirose' in her legacy of 'A Tale of Perishing' on 'Zenshu' TV Anime [#OneNETnewsEXCLUSIVE]

(Written by Anne Savisa Boonchuy / News Correspondent of Disney XD News & Herpetologist of the AotP)

TOKYO, JAPAN -- Japanese animation giant 'Studio Konkon' faces technical allegations who illegally providing expired food, concerning the Food Poisoning incident for overworked employee individuals in Tokyo, mirroring its consequences depicted at MAPPA in Japan.

In Episode 1 of Zenshu, TXN News obtained the exclusive report when a suspected president identified 'Ms. Naomi Fukushima' is one of them to target the 22 y/o overworked animator victim (now at 28), animation director and prognosticator analyst 'Ms. Natsuko Hirose'. Natsuko graduated from High School in an undisclosed location somewhere in 2019, and she is an avid fan of 'A Tale of Perishing' with the protagonist character 'Mr. Luke Braveheart'.

Today, she tried to attempt to produce a new romantic comedy feature film 'First Love'… But unfortunately, Natsuko dies due to food poisoning and is automatically teleported into her reincarnated life as the same person at 'The Last Town' via a hot deserted setting on the outside at 'A Tale of Perishing'.

Due to a series of altered events when Natsuko saved the world at 'The Last Town' that entirely changed all ancient history, the entire plot was changed and already became a member of the 9 soldiers team. Because of insisted public demand, they will turn from the successful featured film into a limited Japanese TV series after her death and pay tribute for showcasing justice in the animation industry. As a result, the featured Japanese animated film 'First Love' was reportedly canceled effective immediately.

The investigators of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department (TMPD) found that the expired food in a microwave lunch meal contained mostly spoiled Tamagoyaki (Japanese Rolled Omelet), Curry, Clams, and the unidentified dish featured in Episode 1. Sources told TXN News, that Fukushima's actions may be facing a serious violation of Japanese law, leaving Natsuko silently turned into forced labor in poor working conditions.

Naomi Fukushima was charged with these violations of the 'Labor Standards Act' and 'Food Sanitation Act'. If she was proven guilty, she would be sentenced at a nearby court in jail within 13 years in prison with a JP¥6 million Japanese yen fine (approximately PHP2.3M Philippine pesos) and revoking the entire business animation establishment of 'Studio Konkon'. The spokesperson refused to make a press statement or public apology at this time.

As the investigation continues, TMPD officials are expected to arrest 'Ms. Fukushima' within this week, signaling a potential landmark case that could bring justice for overworked animators and expose the harsh working conditions within Japan's animation industry. The televised fictionally-altered anime series 'A Tale of Perishing' will continue as normal, making a better memoriam for Natsuko in Tokyo.

'Zenshu' airs every Sunday night at 11:45pm in Japan, exclusively on JOTX-TV 7's TV Tokyo and same-day English dubbed release to be streamed on-demand worldwide excluding Japan, only on Crunchyroll, Apple TV+ and Amazon Prime Video.

DUMAGUETE, NEGROS ORIENTAL -- A man with a butcher's knife, went on a rampage -- before he was fatally shot by responding police officers in 'Brgy. Tabuc-tubig, Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental' last Thursday night (August 8th, 2024 at 7:15pm -- Dumaguete local time). Chaos started when someone called the attention of the local PNP from the city police station, about the armed unruly individual was near the 'Berwin Eatery'.
