A total lunar eclipse will be observable in Manila and parts of the country for about an hour on March 3, Tuesday, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) on Monday.

If skies are clear, the maximum eclipse, or the phenomenon’s peak, is expected at 7:34 pm, PAGASA said in an official statement.

As for the timeline, the Moon will enter totality, or the moment when it is fully covered by Earth’s shadow, at 7:04 pm, remain in the planet’s primary shadow until 8:03 pm, and fully exit the umbral shadow at 9:17 pm.

In Manila, the Moon will rise at 5:58 pm, with the partial eclipse already visible, and will remain eclipsed until it exits the penumbral shadow — the faint outer part of Earth’s shadow — at 10:25 pm.

“The total lunar eclipse is very easy to observe. A modest pair of binoculars will provide an excellent view of the Moon’s surface, but is not required,” PAGASA said in a statement.

It added that, unlike a solar eclipse, a total lunar eclipse is completely safe to observe and does not require any protective eyewear.

A lunar eclipse happens when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, causing the Earth to cast a shadow onto the Moon.

“During the maximum eclipse, the umbral shadow cast by the Earth will obscure 100% of the Moon’s disk,” PAGASA said. It added that the phenomenon is also called a blood moon because it appears red due to the way Earth’s atmosphere filters and scatters sunlight.

The total lunar eclipse will also be completely visible in other regions, including Eastern Asia, Australia, the Central Pacific, and most of the Americas. — Edg Adrian A. Eva

U.S. Court Finds Pastor Found Guilty in $3M Crypto Scam

The post U.S. Court Finds Pastor Found Guilty in $3M Crypto Scam appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crime 18 September 2025 | 04:05 A Colorado judge has brought closure to one of the state’s most unusual cryptocurrency scandals, declaring INDXcoin to be a fraudulent operation and ordering its founders, Denver pastor Eli Regalado and his wife Kaitlyn, to repay $3.34 million. The ruling, issued by District Court Judge Heidi L. Kutcher, came nearly two years after the couple persuaded hundreds of people to invest in their token, promising safety and abundance through a Christian-branded platform called the Kingdom Wealth Exchange. The scheme ran between June 2022 and April 2023 and drew in more than 300 participants, many of them members of local church networks. Marketing materials portrayed INDXcoin as a low-risk gateway to prosperity, yet the project unraveled almost immediately. The exchange itself collapsed within 24 hours of launch, wiping out investors’ money. Despite this failure—and despite an auditor’s damning review that gave the system a “0 out of 10” for security—the Regalados kept presenting it as a solid opportunity. Colorado regulators argued that the couple’s faith-based appeal was central to the fraud. Securities Commissioner Tung Chan said the Regalados “dressed an old scam in new technology” and used their standing within the Christian community to convince people who had little knowledge of crypto. For him, the case illustrates how modern digital assets can be exploited to replicate classic Ponzi-style tactics under a different name. Court filings revealed where much of the money ended up: luxury goods, vacations, jewelry, a Range Rover, high-end clothing, and even dental procedures. In a video that drew worldwide attention earlier this year, Eli Regalado admitted the funds had been spent, explaining that a portion went to taxes while the remainder was used for a home renovation he claimed was divinely inspired. The judgment not only confirms that INDXcoin qualifies as a…
