By Nanai Taofiga Laveitiga Tuiletufuga, Guangdong Province 24th November 2024. Guangdong Province is the home of the majority of first immigrants to Samoa from China in the early 1900s. One among those pioneers was the National University of Samoa Deputy Registrar Peseta Dr. Desmond Lee Hang’s grandfather. Peseta is one of the delegates traveling with the Prime Minister Fiame Naomi Mataafa in China this week on the Prime Ministers’ first Official Visit. The personal and cultural historical connection between Guangdong and Samoa is further complemented by the mutual and beneficial diplomatic relationships between Samoa and China inked some 49 years ago. Guangdong Province is one of the People’s Republic of China’s provincial governments that provided assistance to Samoa which included funding the Friendship Park . A few of the assistance rendered by the Province in recent years to Samoa included a visiting team of eye specialists from the Province providing surgery at the Moto’otua National Hospital for Samoan residents. While in the Education Sector, Samoa College is the benefactor of a Sisterhood Agreement with the Hualuogeng Senior High School inked in 2015. The exchange was sealed with scholarships funded by the High School to pay school fees for 50 Samoa College students. A group of Samoa College students also visited the High School. And earlier this week, the Prime Minister Fiame, a Samoa College alumni and her delegation visited the High School. But the Province is offering more to help to strengthen her diplomatic relations with Samoa. Guangdong Governor Wang Weizhong in welcoming the Prime Minister and her delegation has personally extended an open invitation for his Province to continue to render assistance in the agricultural, fisheries, tourism, health, education and electronics sectors. And the generosity to the Samoan people was highly praised by Prime Minister Fiame. “On behalf of the people of Samoa and our Government we thank you, Your Excellency and the people of Guangdong for your generosity,” acknowledged the Samoan leader. Highly praising the Governor’s initiative to strengthen collaborations, the Prime Minister assured the Governor Wang that his recommendation for future collaborations between her government and the Guangdong Province will be a priority when she returns home. As Samoa and China prepares to commemorate their 50 years of diplomatic relationships in 2024, Prime Minister Fiame requested the Governor that a few of the sectors which Samoa would like to prioritize in future collaborations include, the green technology, education, health, tourism and trade. Governor Wang subsequently has accepted the Prime Minister’s invitation to visit Samoa in 2024 to mark the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relationships between the two countries, noting that the Governor has not seen the real Pacific having visited the region once. The Prime Minister will be heading to Beijing to meet China’s Premier and President later this week. PHOTOS- Nanai Taofiga Laveitiga Tuiletufuga GOVT.

The Philippines once again failed in the pass-or-fail corruption benchmark needed to secure grant assistance from the United States aid arm Millennium Challenge Corp. (MCC). MCC's fiscal year 2025 Country Scorebook released on Nov. 21, which listed down the possible compact and threshold program beneficiaries for next year, showed that the Philippines passed 14 out of the 20 annual indicators across three categories. In particular, the country garnered green marks in the following indicators: inflation, regulatory quality, trade policy, gender in the economy, land rights and access, access to credit, and employment opportunity (in the area of "economic freedom"); political rights, civil liberties, government effectiveness, and freedom of information (in "ruling justly"); as well as health expenditures, girls' lower secondary education completion rate, and child health (in "investing in people"). However, the Philippines' garnered red marks in fiscal policy (in economic freedom); control of corruption and rule of law (in ruling justly); and also in education expenditures, natural resource protection, and immunization rates (in investing in people). Under MCC's rules, a compact or multi-year funding can only be extended to countries that passed at least half of the yearly indicators, which the Philippines did, as well as pass what are regarded as "hard hurdles" for eligibility—the civil liberties and political rights (that both measure democratic rights), and control of corruption indicators. As in recent years, the country continued to fail in the control-of-corruption indicator, which, alongside the rule-of-law indicator that also got a red mark, is based on both the Washington-based multilateral lender World Bank and non-profit Brookings Institution's latest Worldwide Governance Indicators (WGI). The Philippines landed in the 41st percentile for controlling corruption, whose passing score must be above the 50th percentile. In MCC's fiscal year 2024 country scorebook that came out last year, the Philippines actually garnered fewer green marks—in only 11 indicators, and similarly got a red mark in control of corruption. Still, the Philippines had been chosen by MCC for a smaller threshold grant together with Tanzania, as these two countries "experienced set-backs, but are now on a positive governance trajectory." Threshold programs are being developed with countries which "demonstrate a significant commitment to meeting the eligibility criteria but do not qualify for MCC compact assistance." In the case of the Philippines, MCC had noted that the President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. earlier "committed to advancing critical reforms, pledged to increase transparency, and strengthened judicial independence and the prosecution of human rights violations." "By selecting the Philippines for a threshold program, MCC can support the government to undertake policy and institutional reforms to address the country's development needs while also encouraging further progress on advancing labor and human rights and combating corruption," the aid agency said in December 2023. The Philippine program is aimed at "supporting the government's efforts to reduce poverty and encourage economic growth, while continuing to strengthen just and democratic governance, economic freedom, and social investment" through institutional and policy reforms, MCC subsequently said last February. MCC chief executive officer (CEO) Alice Albright likewise visited the Philippines in February 2024, during which she met with Finance Secretary Ralph G. Recto, Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Arsenio M. Balisacan, as well as Special Assistant to the President for Investment and Economic Affairs Frederick D. Go. Last September, Manila Bulletin already asked for updates on this MCC threshold program for the Philippines, but Department of Finance (DOF) officials did not provide any. It was also in September when the Philippines was included among MCC's 62 candidate-countries for its 2025 fiscal year. The Philippines joined 58 other candidates in the low-income country category, while three countries were short-listed as potential lower middle-income beneficiaries. Following a $20.7-million threshold program from 2006 to 2009, the Philippines in 2011 received its maiden MCC compact grant worth $434 million, which funded the construction of roads in Samar island, reformed revenue administration, and supported social services delivery to the poor. After the first compact in ended 2016, the MCC deferred a new one for the Philippines as the country had been "subject to a further review of concerns around rule of law and civil liberties" under then-US president Barack Obama, who had been critical of former president Rodrigo R. Duterte's deadly war on drugs. As such, the Philippines in 2017 also withdrew from the planned second MCC grant to build roads along the coast of Eastern Luzon.

WASHINGTON — A top White House official said Wednesday at least eight U.S. telecom firms and dozens of nations were impacted by a Chinese hacking campaign. Deputy national security adviser Anne Neuberger offered new details about the breadth of the sprawling Chinese hacking campaign that gave officials in Beijing access to private texts and phone conversations of an unknown number of Americans. FILE - The American and Chinese flags wave at Genting Snow Park ahead of the 2022 Winter Olympics, in Zhangjiakou, China, on Feb. 2, 2022. A top White House official on Wednesday said at least eight U.S. telecom firms and dozens of nations have been impacted by a Chinese hacking campaign. (AP Photo/Kiichiro Sato, File) Neuberger divulged the scope of the hack a day after the FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency issued guidance intended to help root out the hackers and prevent similar cyberespionage in the future. White House officials cautioned that the number of telecommunication firms and countries impacted could grow. The U.S. believes the hackers were able to gain access to communications of senior U.S. government officials and prominent political figures through the hack, Neuberger said. “We don’t believe any classified communications has been compromised,” Neuberger added during a call with reporters. She added that Biden was briefed on the findings and the White House “made it a priority for the federal government to do everything it can to get to the bottom this.” US officials recommend encrypted messaging apps amid "Salt Typhoon" cyberattack, attributed to China, targeting AT&T, Verizon, and others. The Chinese embassy in Washington rejected the accusations that it was responsible for the hack Tuesday after the U.S. federal authorities issued new guidance. “The U.S. needs to stop its own cyberattacks against other countries and refrain from using cyber security to smear and slander China,” embassy spokesperson Liu Pengyu said. The embassy did not immediately respond to messages Wednesday. White House officials believe the hacking was regionally targeted and the focus was on very senior government officials. Federal authorities confirmed in October that hackers linked to China targeted the phones of then-presidential candidate Donald Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance, along with people associated with Democratic candidate Vice President Kamala Harris. The number of countries impacted by the hack is currently believed to be in the “low, couple dozen,” according to a senior administration official. The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity under rules set by the White House, said they believed the hacks started at least a year or two ago. The suggestions for telecom companies released Tuesday are largely technical in nature, urging encryption, centralization and consistent monitoring to deter cyber intrusions. If implemented, the security precautions could help disrupt the operation, dubbed Salt Typhoon, and make it harder for China or any other nation to mount a similar attack in the future, experts say. Trump's pick to head the Federal Bureau of Investigation Kash Patel was allegedly the target of cyberattack attempt by Iranian-backed hackers. Neuberger pointed to efforts made to beef up cybersecurity in the rail, aviation, energy and other sectors following the May 2021 ransomware attack on Colonial Pipeline . “So, to prevent ongoing Salt Typhoon type intrusions by China, we believe we need to apply a similar minimum cybersecurity practice,” Neuberger said. The cyberattack by a gang of criminal hackers on the critical U.S. pipeline, which delivers about 45% of the fuel used along the Eastern Seaboard, sent ripple effects across the economy, highlighting cybersecurity vulnerabilities in the nation’s aging energy infrastructure. Colonial confirmed it paid $4.4 million to the gang of hackers who broke into its computer systems as it scrambled to get the nation's fuel pipeline back online. Picture this: You're on vacation in a city abroad, exploring museums, tasting the local cuisine, and people-watching at cafés. Everything is going perfectly until you get a series of alerts on your phone. Someone is making fraudulent charges using your credit card, sending you into a panic. How could this have happened? Cyberattacks targeting travelers are nothing new. But as travel has increased in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, so has the volume of hackers and cybercriminals preying upon tourists. Financial fraud is the most common form of cybercrime experienced by travelers, but surveillance via public Wi-Fi networks, social media hacking, and phishing scams are also common, according to a survey by ExpressVPN . Spokeo consulted cybersecurity sources and travel guides to determine some of the best ways to protect your phone while traveling, from using a VPN to managing secure passwords. Online attacks are not the only type of crime impacting travelers—physical theft of phones is also a threat. Phones have become such invaluable travel aids, housing our navigation tools, digital wallets, itineraries, and contacts, that having your phone stolen, lost, or compromised while abroad can be devastating. Meanwhile, traveling can make people uniquely vulnerable to both cyber and physical attacks due to common pitfalls like oversharing on social media and letting your guard down when it comes to taking risks online. Luckily, there are numerous precautions travelers can take to safeguard against cyberattacks and phone theft. Hackers can—and do—target public Wi-Fi networks at cafés and hotels to gain access to your personal information or install malware onto your device, particularly on unsecured networks. Travelers are especially vulnerable to these types of cybersecurity breaches because they are often more reliant on public Wi-Fi than they would be in their home countries where they have more robust phone plans. This reliance on public, unsecured networks means travelers are more likely to use those networks to perform sensitive tasks like financial transfers, meaning hackers can easily gain access to banking information or other passwords. One easy way to safeguard yourself against these breaches is to use a virtual private network, or VPN, while traveling. VPNs are apps that encrypt your data and hide your location, preventing hackers from accessing personal information. An added bonus is that VPNs allow you to access websites that may be blocked or unavailable in the country you are visiting. To use a VPN, simply download a VPN app on your phone or computer, create an account, choose a server, and connect. If your phone falls into the wrong hands, there's a good chance you won't be getting it back. Out of those 91,000 phones stolen in London in 2022, only 1,915 (or about 2%) were recovered. The good news is that you can take precautions to make the loss of your phone less devastating by backing up your data before you travel. With backed-up data, you can acquire a new device and still access your photos, contacts, messages, and passwords. Moreover, if you have "Find My Device" or "Find My Phone" enabled, you can remotely wipe your stolen phone's data so the thief cannot access it. It's safest to back up your data to a hard drive and not just the cloud. That way, if you have to wipe your device, you don't accidentally erase the backup, too. In order for the previous tip on this list to work, "Find My Phone" must be turned on in advance, but remotely wiping your device isn't the only thing this feature allows you to do. The "Find My Phone" feature enables you to track your device, as long as it's turned on and not in airplane mode. This is particularly helpful if you misplaced your phone or left it somewhere since it can help you retrace your steps. While this feature won't show you the live location of a phone that has been turned off, it will show the phone's last known location. With "Find My Phone," you can also remotely lock your phone or enable "Lost Mode," which locks down the phone, suspends any in-phone payment methods, and displays contact information for returning the phone to you. If your phone was stolen, experts caution against taking matters into your own hands by chasing down the thief, since this could land you in a potentially dangerous situation and is unlikely to result in getting your phone back. Strong passwords for important accounts help protect your information while you travel, but it's just a first step. The National Cybersecurity Alliance recommends creating long, unique, and complex passwords for every account and combining them with multifactor authentication to create maximum barriers to entry. If you're worried about remembering these passwords, password managers can be a vital tool for both creating and storing strong passwords. Password managers are apps that act as secure vaults for all your passwords. Some even come with a feature that allows you to temporarily delete sensitive passwords before you travel and then easily restore them once you return. Story editing by Mia Nakaji Monnier.
