TOKYO – A coach of Team Philippines will be sent home following back-and-forth false positive and negative tests for COVID-19, Philippine Olympic Committee president Rep. Abraham “Bambol” Tolentino revealed during a mini conference at the CONRAD Tokyo on Thursday.
The daily tests at the Athletes Village on coaches and players, yielded a false positive test on the said coach, prompting his isolation and a confirmatory test, which turned out to be negative. A third test the following day, however, yielded another false positive on the said coach, who is now running a fever.
“While waiting for another confirmatory test, I have ordered our chef de mission Mariano Araneta to separate him from our team. If the next result is negative, we are sending him home. If he again tests positive, he will be brought to a quarantine hospital,” said Tolentino.

WASHINGTON (CN) A law that has been the key to the development of natural gas pipelines for 80 years was challenged by New Jersey at the nation’s highest court Wednesday.
The founding fathers’ understanding of federal land takes and the role private companies have in executing those seizures were central themes during the virtual U.S. Supreme Court hearing.
“This court has said repeatedly that taking land is under common law, why doesn’t this fall within the 11th Amendment itself?” asked Justice Neal Gorsuch, a Donald Trump appointee, who appeared concerned at the idea of the private gas company PennEast being allowed to bring a lawsuit against the state of New Jersey, which might otherwise be shielded by sovereign immunity granted by the constitution despite powers given to companies under the Natural Gas Act of 1938.

The Sacred Alliance has scared the top brass of ODM. But it has not just scared them, it has given them a scar in Ematungu, the resting place of Nabongo Mumia (1849 – 1949). ODM is scarred following the electoral defeat last week in the by-election in the place modern people call Matungu. If we may not say with Thomas Hardy, “Think how the mighty are fallen,” could we at least say, “Think how the mighty are falling?”
For in the life of the current Parliament, the Orange Party has had bad outings in a series of by-elections. They have fallen in Ugenya, Embakasi South, Msambweni and now Matungu. The political behemoth of 2007 is shrinking and shriveling. It did not even field a candidate in the Kabuchai by-election. Kabuchai is the extended backyard of the rural home of ODM Secretary General Edwin Sifuna. Sifuna crowed during the campaigns that ODM was tired of carrying ANC and Ford Kenya baggag
