Gulf Today
|October 02, 2025
Rescuers pulled five survivors from a collapsed school in Indonesia on Wednesday as frantic parents demanded searchers speed up efforts to find dozens of children believed still trapped in the rubble two days on.

Part of the multi-storey boarding school, in the town of Sidoarjo on the island of Java, gave way suddenly on Monday as students gathered for afternoon prayers.
“Today we managed to evacuate seven victims, five of them were rescued alive, and two were found dead,” Yudhi Bramantyo, operational director of the search and rescue services, told a press briefing in Sidoarjo, 30 kilometres from the city of Surabaya.
“The five survivors were able to communicate,” he added. The latest death toll brings the number of people killed in the disaster to five.
Tearful parents milled near the ruins throughout Wednesday awaiting news.

Bessie Badilla advocates for indigenous fashion
A top Filipina model for nearly five decades whose first visit to the UAE was in 1981 for the “Aureo Alonzo Fiesta Filipina World Tour Group” in Dubai, and who cat-walked for Michael Cinco at the “Dubai Fashion Week 2023,” has said that fashion from her home country has been at par with the world’s best. Bessie Badilla, whose accidental entry into the glitterati of haute couture happened, when Manila hosted the 1976 “International Monetary Fund-World Bank Annual Meeting” at the then newly-opened Philippine International Convention Centre, also said that the intensifying interest-cum-awareness of even the Filipino youth concerning their indigenous fibres and artisanship would strongly impact on the so-called colonial mentality which historians from decades back had imaginatively labelled as “300 years inside the convent (Spain) and 48 years in Hollywood (USA).
