The Philippine Justice Department criticized for revealing its move to prepare for the possible arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte by the International Criminal Court.
05:25.4
The Marcos administration insists it stands firm against cooperating with the ICC.
05:30.9
R.G. Cruz reports.
05:33.8
Some senators flagged the Department of Justice's announcement that it is preparing to brief President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on his options
05:41.1
should the International Criminal Court order the arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte over his war on drugs.
05:47.7
Senator Francis Escudero doesn't see why the DOJ even had to call a press conference over a routine job,
05:55.0
meant tensions between the Dutertes and the
05:56.9
Marcoses. Dutertes' chief legal counsel,
05:59.2
Salvador Panelo, meantime thinks
06:00.8
the DOJ may be pretending to be ignorant
06:02.9
or undermining the President's position
06:05.1
that the ICC has no jurisdiction
06:07.0
over the Philippines. Panelo
06:08.7
insists an ICC arrest warrant
06:10.7
is an assault on the Philippine sovereignty.
06:13.1
He also asserts it won't be good
06:14.9
for the DOJ to make the President look like
06:17.0
he's reneging on his word.
06:18.7
The palace maintains that the President's position
06:20.7
isn't changed. Senator Sani Angara
06:23.1
calls for a truce between the Marcoses
06:24.8
and the Dutertes for the good of the country.
06:27.5
I don't want to get into the merits
06:28.9
or the actions of both camps.
06:31.0
Tama na muna, ceasefire muna.
06:34.9
Philippine interests
06:36.3
rather than just more parochial interests.
06:39.5
Amid the perception that the
06:41.0
Marcos administration could be shifting its position
06:43.1
on the ICC, there's also
06:44.8
speculation that allies of the former President
06:46.9
are trying to destabilize the Marcos
06:50.1
Sana hindi totoo kasi
06:54.6
for all Filipinos who love
06:56.7
the country to rally behind the President
06:58.8
kasi may kalaban na tayo
07:04.7
tayo-tayo mag-away, which is our history,
07:10.8
at magsama na tayo.
07:13.1
Dahil dito, may common enemy
07:14.9
tayo. Tapos sino pa
07:16.2
magtutulungan kung di tayo-tayo?
07:19.7
The President's sister,
07:20.8
Senator Aine Marcos, also shrugged off the
07:24.6
A house leader, meanwhile, maintains
07:45.1
there are advantages if the country
07:47.0
decides to rejoin the ICC.
07:48.9
Ang ICC ay isang magandang
07:51.0
mekanismo kung saan sa isang
07:53.0
bansa ay nagkakataon,
07:54.6
nagkaroon na ng failure ng isang
07:56.6
we're not saying just the Philippines,
07:58.8
we're not just saying sa ngayong panahon,
08:01.0
but in the future, I think
08:02.7
there's some value of having this.

08:10.5
Calls to abolish government's
08:12.7
anti-communist task force resurfaced
08:14.9
following the Supreme Court's
08:16.8
ruling on red-tagging.
08:18.4
The High Court earlier declared red-tagging
08:20.7
a threat to a person's life,
08:22.3
liberty, and security.
08:24.6
House lawmakers lauded the
08:26.5
court's decision, but they assert
08:28.9
more needs to be done to end
08:30.8
the dangerous practice of red-tagging
08:33.1
by state officials.
08:36.6
nagpalabas ng ganito ang Supreme Court,
08:42.9
ng gobyerno, sumabay ang gobyerno
08:45.1
dito sa sinasabi nating
08:47.2
panawagan, natanggalan
08:48.8
ng budget, or at the very
08:51.0
least, tanggalan ng budget.
08:54.6
talagang i-abolish na.
08:56.3
Dapat makriminalize na ang red-tagging.
08:59.5
Dapat lamang talaga
09:00.8
na para magkaroon
09:06.6
ang mga red-tagger at makita nila
09:16.7
meanwhile gave assurance it will participate
09:18.9
in hearings to air its side.
09:21.4
The Philippine Armed Forces also
09:22.9
defending itself, saying,
09:24.6
it has always followed the law.
09:28.7
ASP po ay sumusunod po, no?
09:30.6
Kung ano po ang nakasaad
09:32.7
sa batas. We leave this po
09:34.7
to our high-level
09:35.9
ministerial-level talk.
09:40.3
magiging guidance nila down the line.
09:42.8
So, ang Armed Forces of the Philippines po,
09:44.3
will abide with the laws stated
09:50.7
The Philippine National Police claims
09:52.9
there are positive developments,
09:54.5
in the search for fugitive televangelist
09:58.1
Police spokesperson Jean Fajardo says
10:00.4
they are verifying several leads
10:02.7
on Quiboloy's whereabouts.
10:04.7
Meanwhile, the police say
10:05.9
14 of Quiboloy's firearms were sold
10:08.7
in December 2023.
10:10.9
Six pistols were sold
10:12.9
to a Crescente, Canada,
10:15.1
who is named as one of Quiboloy's
10:16.7
co-accused in his child abuse case.
10:19.5
The rest of the guns
10:20.4
were brought by Canada's relatives.
10:22.9
Quiboloy's gun permits were revoked
10:24.5
by the police last month.
10:26.3
Representatives of his religious group
10:28.0
earlier surrendered five of his firearms.
10:32.2
Ngayon po, ay tinitignan po natin
10:34.2
kung ito po bang Crescente, Canada
10:36.5
na pinagbilhan po nitong mga barel
10:38.4
o na-transfer po itong anim na barel
10:40.2
is the same person as that of the subject
10:42.8
of the warrant of arrest.
10:44.2
So, kung siya rin po yun,
10:45.4
ay definitely po,
10:46.8
ang ating po FEO ay magsasagawa po uli
10:49.7
at magkukonbin at magdi-deliberate
10:52.1
dahil kung kasama po siya doon
10:54.0
sa warrant of arrest.
10:55.4
Kung siya po mismo ito,
10:56.6
ay definitely po,
10:57.5
ay mag-i-initiate din po tayo
11:00.8
ng kanyang LTAP at firearms registration.

A local official warns
11:09.3
the national government
11:10.4
of a possible attack by China.
11:12.8
In a report published by Japan's Kyoto News,
11:15.7
Kagayan Governor Manuel Mamba says,
11:18.1
Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Sun Weidong
11:20.9
warned him last year,
11:22.5
Beijing will not hesitate
11:24.7
if a war erupted between China
11:27.7
being hosted by the Philippines.
11:30.9
the Philippines could still avoid
11:32.7
being involved in any conflict
11:34.6
by eliminating foreign forces
11:37.6
The governor has been opposing
11:39.3
the expansion of U.S. military sites
11:42.5
He has also been pushing
11:43.7
for his province,
11:45.0
which is facing the island of Taiwan,
11:46.9
to benefit from China's economic growth.
11:53.0
The U.S. military has also been
11:53.7
pushing for the expansion
11:53.9
of the Philippines' foreign affairs department
11:55.4
once to implement additional measures
11:57.7
aimed at preventing the illegal entry
11:59.8
and overstaying of Chinese nationals
12:03.4
The agency says it is crafting
12:04.8
a stricter visa policy
12:06.4
that would require applicants
12:07.9
to submit a social insurance certificate
12:10.2
on top of other documents.
12:12.8
This follows reports of visa applicants
12:14.9
from China submitting fraudulent documents.
12:18.4
For group visa applications,
12:20.3
the DFA says it may raise
12:22.6
the number of applicants
12:23.7
to ten from the current three.
12:28.2
A major challenge is
12:30.1
the submission of fraudulent,
12:34.5
particularly from the China side,
12:40.1
and certificates of employment.
12:42.5
And fixers brazenly advertise
12:44.6
such things on WeChat
12:46.4
and things like that,
12:47.6
saying it's very easy
12:48.6
to obtain a Philippine visa.
12:50.2
We're also actually
12:53.7
about the Chinese embassy
12:55.0
to stem these abuses.
12:59.3
This development also comes
13:01.5
amid concerns on the influx
13:03.4
of Chinese students
13:04.4
in Kagayan province,
13:05.9
which some officials
13:07.1
have described as alarming.
13:09.2
The DFA clarified
13:10.2
those Chinese nationals
13:11.8
got their student visas
13:13.0
through the Bureau of Immigration.
13:18.1

18:32.1
How is this affecting the morale of the force?
18:34.4
Tell us, what is it about the system there that really allows this impunity to exist?

You see, a lot of sellers, unfortunately, they're trying to sell one message to everyone.
19:16.6
Just targeting, it's like a shotgun approach.
19:19.6
That they're doing.
19:23.0
Because you are actually selling a specific brand, a specific solution to a specific person.
19:29.2
You need to understand which type of person this is and what this person would want,
19:35.1
what this person's problem is, so that you can offer a specific solution.
19:39.6
It's not just about selling per se, it's all about influence and how to build that influence
19:44.2
so that you can be effective with other people.

The United States warning Israel it would weaken its position in hostage negotiations
20:58.4
if it launches a major military operation in Rafah.
21:02.2
The U.S. State Department says Washington continues to engage with Israel
21:06.5
on amendments to a ceasefire proposal submitted by Hamas.
21:10.6
But it notes the work is incredibly difficult.
21:14.1
Israel has threatened a major assault in Rafah to root out Hamas fighters' holdup there.
21:19.5
But more than a million Palestinians are sheltering in the city,
21:23.6
prompting warnings from the United Nations of a humanitarian catastrophe.
21:29.0
We have to engage with them about other options that they can pursue.
21:33.2
We have presented a full range of other policy choices that they can make
21:37.5
that we think would achieve the goal of dismantling Hamas
21:41.3
and choking off the Hamas battalions that remain in Rafah
21:45.1
without further endangering civilians there,
21:49.3
without further endangering civilians there,
21:49.3
without further endangering civilians there,
21:49.5
without causing this mass population displacement with no place for them to go.

Netanyahu says their task has become more and more difficult.
22:20.2
with Hamas targeting both Israeli and Palestinian civilians.
22:24.1
He also dismissed U.S. President Joe Biden's threat
22:27.3
to withhold weapons delivery if Israel launches a major assault on Rafah.
22:34.7
As they educate their children to this unfathomable hatred of Jews
22:40.2
to this murderous mentality, and many comply with it,
22:44.7
and those who don't, they're used as human shields anyway.
22:47.1
They use them as human shields.
22:49.3
And they target civilians and they hide behind their civilians, their own civilians.
22:54.3
They target ours, hide behind theirs.
22:56.7
That is a double war crime.
23:01.6
The interview comes as Washington increases pressure on Israel
23:05.9

23:29.5
You've earmarked $7.7 billion for Ukraine in 2024 alone.
23:37.2
Germany has donated critical air defense systems and artillery,
23:40.9
and we will continue our close partnership to ensure that Ukraine has the capabilities
23:46.1
that it needs to succeed on the battlefield.
23:49.3
Germany and the United States not only share the values of freedom and democracy,
23:53.7
as you underlined, but also, together with all our allies,
23:57.5
the responsibility for the security and defense of the Euro-Atlantic.
24:03.5
In this context, I would like to confirm our strong commitment
24:07.1
to more contributions to fair transatlantic burden sharing.
24:11.3
We are taking on more responsibility and, together with other NATO allies,
24:16.8
are increasing our investments.
24:19.3
In defense, substantially.
24:22.3
Freedom and democracy...

Lawyers of Donald Trump seek to undermine the credibility of Stormy Daniels
24:41.1
as she again took the witness stand at former U.S. President's Hush Money trial
24:46.4
in nearly four hours of cross-examination
24:48.4
in the United States.
24:48.9
the U.S. President's Hush Money trial in nearly four hours of cross-examination on Tuesday,
24:49.3
Tuesday and Thursday, Daniels was asked about her testimony of a 2006 sexual encounter with Trump
24:56.0
which was compared with versions in a book she wrote and interviews she gave over the years.
25:02.6
Daniels stuck on her account saying that she did not provide all the details in each interview she gave
25:09.2
and had no control over how the news outlets aired her story.
25:13.5
Defense lawyers have renewed a motion for a mistrial and challenged the judge's gag order on Trump
25:20.4
as it relates to making public comments about Daniels.
25:26.0
And before we go, let's find out what stories the North America Bureau is pursuing right now from our correspondent Henny Espinosa.
25:34.3
Hey guys, here are newsmaking headlines for Filipinos in North America.
25:38.9
A legal analyst says Donald Trump's hush money trial
25:43.0
has quite clearly shown a scheme to falsify records.
25:47.9
The evidence thus far establishes quite clearly that there was a scheme to falsify records at the Trump organization
25:54.5
and to conceal payments to Michael Cohen that were reimbursing him for payments he in turn made to Stormy Daniels
26:00.9
to keep her quiet about her alleged affair with the former president right before the presidential election.
26:07.1
So I think that much has been pretty clearly established.
26:10.6
What is less clear at this point?
26:13.0
Is whether or not Trump himself was personally involved in the falsification scheme.
26:18.8
Trump, the Republican candidate for president this year, has pleaded not guilty to charges of falsifying business records
26:25.6
to cover up a $130,000 hush money payment to adult star Stormy Daniels and denies having sex with her.
26:34.1
Despite the possibility of being convicted, Trump is still leading if not tied in national polls against President Joe Biden.
26:41.4
The Republican base.
26:43.0
The voters are going to see this as their candidate continue to be vilified
26:46.6
and will motivate them to turn out even more and to be participative in this upcoming election cycle.
