MANILA, Philippines – ACT-CIS Representative Edvic Yap, brother of Benguet Representative Eric Yap, has stepped down from his congressional post, amid controversy surrounding his role in the flood control corruption scandal.

The House majority announced on the plenary floor on Wednesday, February 4, that Yap had sent a letter of resignation, resulting in his name being dropped from the roll of members.

Ombudsman Boying Remulla said in October that Yap received money via bank transfer from flood control contractors Curlee and Sarah Discaya before the pandemic.

In December, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. announced that the Court of Appeals had frozen the personal accounts of the Yap brothers, as well as companies linked to them, Silverwolves Construction and Sky Yard Aviation Corporation.

Edvic’s brother Eric is believed to be the beneficial owner of Silverwolves, which bagged over P16 billion in public works projects from 2022 to 2025. – Rappler.com

Crypto-Fueled Rekt Drinks Sells 1 Millionth Can Amid MoonPay Collab

Crypto-Fueled Rekt Drinks Sells 1 Millionth Can Amid MoonPay Collab

The post Crypto-Fueled Rekt Drinks Sells 1 Millionth Can Amid MoonPay Collab appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In brief Rekt Brands sold its 1 millionth can of its Rekt Drinks flavored sparkling water. The Web3 firm collaborated with payments infrastructure company MoonPay on a peach-raspberry flavor called “Moon Crush.” Rekt incentivizes purchasers of its drinks with the REKT token, which hit an all-time high market cap of $583 million in August. Web3 consumer firm Rekt Brands sold its 1 millionth can of its Rekt Drinks sparkling water on Friday, surpassing its first major milestone with the sold-out drop of its “Moon Crush” flavor—a peach raspberry-flavored collaboration with payments infrastructure firm MoonPay.  The sale follows Rekt’s previous sellout collaborations with leading Web3 brands like Solana DeFi protocol Jupiter, Ethereum layer-2 network Abstract, and Coinbase’s layer-2 network, Base. Rekt has already worked with a number of crypto-native brands, but says it has been choosy when cultivating collabs. “We have received a large amount of incoming enquiries from some of crypto’s biggest brands, but it’s super important for us to be selective in order to maintain the premium feel of Rekt,” Rekt Brands co-founder and CEO Ovie Faruq told Decrypt.  (Disclosure: Ovie Faruq’s Canary Labs is an investor in DASTAN, the parent company of Decrypt.) “We look to work with brands who are able to form partnerships that we feel are truly strategic to Rekt’s goal of becoming one of the largest global beverage brands,” he added. In particular, Faruq highlighted MoonPay’s role as a “gateway” between non-crypto and crypto users as a reason the collaboration made “perfect sense.”  “We’re thrilled to bring something to life that is both delicious and deeply connected to the crypto community,” MoonPay President Keith Grossman told Decrypt.  Rekt Brands has been bridging the gap between Web3 and the real world with sales of its sparkling water since November 2024. In its first sale,…
