‘A lawmaker in the Philippines proposed a bill that would enact a criminal punishment for ghosting.
Ghosting is the modern phenomenon of abruptly severing all communications with another person without notice, usually within a romantic relationship. As anyone who has been ghosted will say, it can be quite a hurtful experience.
The bill is titled “An act declaring ghosting as an emotional offense.” Although it demands punishment for ghosting, nowhere in the bill does it suggest what the punishment should be.
The lawmaker explains in his House Bill No. 611 that ghosting can be likened to a form of "emotional cruelty" and should be punished as an emotional offense due to the trauma it causes to the "ghosted" person. (via News5/@GVGregorio_TV5)

Teves Jr. was the one who filed a bill that seeks to rename the Ninoy Aquino International Airport to Ferdinand E. Marcos Sr. International Airport. He claims it is "more appropriate" to rename it after the person who "contributed to the idea and execution of the project."
