Philippines gov’t official caught having sex during zoom meeting
A government official in the Philippines was caught having sex with his secretary during a Zoom meeting. According to a Daily Mail report, the Fatima Dos Village Council in Cavite was hosting a regular business meeting online when their boss, Jesus Estil, joined the call. Members of the council were scandalised to see him walk to the back of the room and begin engaging in sexual acts with a woman who was later identified as his secretary.
According to news website KENH14, Mr Estil appeared to be struggling to turn off the camera before walking away. He did not seem to realise that the camera was still on and his colleagues were watching him.
A colleague of Mr Estil’s managed to record the explicit act in a video that has been widely circulated online. The video was shared on Facebook by Philippines journalist Erwin Tulfo two days ago, where it has since registered over 2 million views and led to calls for Mr Estil’s suspension.
The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) on Thursday said that an investigation has been launched into the incident. “If true, this is unbecoming of an elected government official. We will make sure that this incident will be investigated and the captain will be meted with penalties for his acts,” DILG spokesperson Jonathan Malaya said, according to the Philippine News Agency.
Mr Estil and his secretary have not reported to office since the video was made public.
Virtual meetings have become the new normal as millions across the world work from home during the coronavirus pandemic. In May, a businessman accidentally appeared naked during a Zoom conference call with Brazil President Jair Bolsonaro. https://www.ndtv.com/
A message in a bottle launched by visitors to Newfoundland’s Bell Island was found washed up on an Irish beach nearly 13 years later, after apparently crossing the Atlantic Ocean.
Kate Gay said she was walking a Dingle Peninsula beach this week when she spotted the wine bottle with a sheet of paper inside.
Gay showed the bottle to members of Creative Ireland NeartnaMacharaí during a meeting at her house that evening, and they broke the bottle open.
The note, written by a couple named Brad and Anita, was dated Sept. 12, 2012. The letter described the couple’s day trip to Bell Island.
There was a phone number on the letter, but there was no answer when group members tried to call.
The Maharees Heritage and Conservation group posted photos of the bottleto social media on Monday, and within an hour group members were messaging with Anita.
Group member Martha Farrell said Anita reported that she and Brad had married in 2016 and are still together to this day. -upi.com
A Spanish woman who has been collecting egg cups for over 50 years earned a Guinness World Record when her collection was tallied at 15,485 items.
María José Fuster recruited two witnesses to help her tally her collection at a community center in her hometown of Campo, Spain.
Fuster’s collection includes multiple patterns, colors, designs and even novelty cups bearing the images of characters including Superman, Betty Boop and Garfield.
Fuster maintains two blogs related to her hobby — one to catalog each piece, and one to list the names of the people who have donated egg cups to her collection.
Some of her most prized egg cups, about 1,143 of them, are currently on display at a local museum.
