01:29.4
Reports from the Philippine Coast Guard
01:31.3
About the supposed island building activity
01:33.2
In the Escoda or Sabina Shoal
01:34.9
Allegedly by China. We are alarmed
01:37.4
By all of this development at kaya
01:39.2
The National Task Force West Philippine Sea
01:41.5
Led by Secretary Año has already directed
01:43.6
Mas maigting na pagbabantay
01:47.2
Features natin at lahat ng
01:49.5
Mga features within the West Philippine Sea
01:51.6
Within our 200 nautical
01:53.2
Exclusive Economic Zone kasi
01:55.0
Wala pong magbabantay dyan kundi tayo
01:57.4
It is our responsibility
01:59.4
Under international law
02:01.0
Nabantayan at siguruhin na yung
02:03.2
Environment dyan at hindi nasisira
02:05.6
At hindi nagkakaroon ng
02:07.5
Mga reclamation activities
02:09.3
This pile of crushed corals
02:11.2
Allegedly dumped by China are now
02:13.4
Above waters in parts of Escoda
02:15.1
White and dead corals can be seen
02:17.3
Under the water with only few fish
02:19.4
In the area. PCG spokesperson
02:21.3
For the West Philippine Sea, Commodore J.
02:23.4
Tariella believes that China dumps
02:25.5
Corals as part of its hydraulic
02:27.3
Reclamation in the South China Sea.
02:29.4
The Chinese Embassy neither confirmed
02:33.1
Nor denied the allegation
02:34.6
But responded PCG thinks
02:36.6
With playful emojis when asked
02:38.7
On PCG's accusations
02:40.2
Tariella then released photos of over
02:42.7
40 China Coast Guard, maritime
02:44.9
Militia and research vessels
02:46.6
As well as Navy vessels from
02:48.8
People's Liberation Army and Escoda
02:50.6
Well, I wouldn't choose
02:52.5
I think, no? But I would say
02:56.9
We have photos and videos
02:58.8
To prove that. And they should
03:01.0
Be man enough to accept
03:02.4
That they have really deployed
03:04.5
And intruded our own waters
03:06.5
Tariella said the PCG
03:09.1
Has deterred China's illegal activity
03:10.9
Following the deployment of BRP
03:12.9
Teresa Magbanwa on April 16th
03:14.8
The PCG ship has been anchored in
03:16.9
Escoda for almost a month now
03:19.0
The longest ever deployment in the
03:21.0
West Philippine Sea. Experts said
03:22.8
China supposed reclamation attempt in Escoda
03:25.0
Which is just around 17 nautical
03:27.1
Miles off the coast of Palawan,
03:28.8
Island is a threat to Philippine
03:30.9
Security. Escoda is
03:32.8
Strategic for China as it is
03:34.9
Near Panganiban or Mischief Reef
03:36.7
Which Chinese forces occupied in
03:38.5
1995. In the middle is a
03:40.8
Union or 2nd Thomas Shoal where the
03:42.7
Philippines has a military outpost
03:44.4
Through the BRP Sierra Madre. It is
03:46.8
Also near Recto or Reed Bank believed
03:48.7
To be rich in oil and gas deposits
03:50.6
If they succeed in putting
03:54.7
Near Reed Bank then that will be
03:56.4
Giving us more difficulty in getting
03:58.8
The gas in Reed Bank. It will be
04:00.8
Very difficult for the armed force
04:02.9
Of the Philippines and the Philippine Coast Guard
04:04.7
To do the resupply mission
04:06.4
Quiet encirclement
04:08.2
Is what they are doing
04:09.0
So they really need to watch out
04:12.5
Because they cannot
04:14.6
Get this because this is
04:17.5
In the municipality of
04:21.4
That is part of the
04:24.2
Province of Palawan
04:25.5
Justice Carpio said the government should
04:28.8
File a case against China for violating
04:31.0
The international law. The armed forces
04:33.1
Of the Philippines meanwhile said
04:34.7
It will do everything to prevent China
04:36.9
From occupying and conducting
04:38.6
Reclamation activities in Escoda
04:40.3
Through the intensified patrol operations of the
04:43.5
Aside po kasi natin sir, defense po tayo
04:46.2
So support the Coast Guard
04:48.5
In law enforcement
04:49.5
So pag tinawag po kami ng Coast Guard
04:51.6
Na kailangan po nila yung tulong namin
04:53.7
Madali po kaming magresponde

The DFA says foreign diplomats
05:17.2
Are given the necessary liberties
05:18.9
To conduct their diplomatic activities
05:21.1
But it reminded them to do
05:23.1
So professionally in the pursuit
05:25.1
Of common interests and mutually
05:27.1
Beneficial outcomes

A peace and solidarity regatta
06:23.4
International observers will be present

Analyst from the Maritime Monitoring Initiative
06:31.0
Sea Light reported that China
06:32.7
Is sending a huge force to block
06:34.7
The Civilian Mission from reaching
06:37.0
The Scarborough Shoal
06:38.2
He said at least four Coast Guard
06:40.8
And 26 Maritime Militia ships
06:42.7
From China will block the mission
06:44.5
And this, he says, is the
06:46.9
Largest blockade China will send to the Shoal
06:49.3
But the organizers
06:50.7
From the Philippine Mission are unfazed
06:53.0
Akbayan President Rafaela David
06:55.2
Asserted that the mission is a
06:56.7
Legitimate exercise of the Philippines'
06:58.8
Rights to travel within its territories
07:00.9
She said they will press on
07:03.1
With their peaceful mission
07:04.3
And they will not be intimidated
07:06.5
The Philippine Coast Guard
07:09.0
Said that while they are not involved
07:10.9
In the mission, they will ensure
07:12.9
The safety of the people joining it
07:15.0
Our role will only be limited
07:17.2
To ensuring the safety
07:19.1
And security of those
07:21.3
Civilians who will be joining
07:23.0
The coalition. We have to make sure
07:25.1
That they will not be
07:27.1
Harassed or at least injured
07:28.8
If they are harassed
07:30.6
By the Chinese Coast Guard
07:31.8
The National Security Council also said
07:34.1
They respect the decision to invite
07:35.8
International observers
07:37.3
It adds, the organizers have the freedom
07:40.2
To do so since the mission
07:42.0
Will be done within Philippine territory
07:43.9
We have no objections
07:48.0
This civilian mission
07:50.3
The Baho de Masinlo
07:53.9
Is included in our navy
08:02.8
Sana maging matagumpay
08:05.7
Yung pagbibigay nila ng tulong
08:07.9
Meanwhile, professors
08:10.0
From UP Dilimang discussed challenges
08:12.1
And opportunities in the West Philippine Sea
08:14.5
For political science
08:16.2
Professor Herman Kraft
08:17.5
Stronger coordination is needed between
08:19.9
Government and organizers of such
08:22.7
For them, it's a patriotic act
08:26.9
The problem here is
08:28.7
Do you really want
08:30.0
Them to be the front line
08:32.8
There has to be more coordination
08:34.4
Between the government
08:35.3
And these kinds of activities
08:37.5
By civilian groups
08:39.4
The government has the back
08:41.3
Of the civilian groups

The mission is scheduled

The Philippine Bureau of Immigration
09:08.7
Has called for a high-level meeting
09:10.4
Of the Interagency Committee
09:11.8
And foreign students
09:12.8
To discuss the influx
09:14.4
Of Chinese learners
09:15.4
The bureau denies
09:16.9
It is discriminating
09:18.1
Against Chinese students
09:19.9
And is merely studying the trend
09:22.1
But BI spokesperson
09:23.6
Dana Sandoval admits
09:26.3
Between Beijing and Manila
09:27.7
Was a key consideration
09:29.4
There has been changes
09:31.9
With other countries
09:33.7
Particularly China
09:34.8
Because of that change
09:36.1
In our relations with them
09:39.0
The way that people are perceiving
09:41.8
The rise in certain nationalities
09:44.0
Or where they are
09:52.0
Or the activities
09:53.6
Of these foreign nationals
09:55.1
A little more closely
09:58.3
To share this information
10:01.7
With the other members
10:03.0
Of the interagency
10:04.8
This can be considered
10:06.2
As discrimination
10:07.1
Since we are looking into
10:08.8
The numbers that are rising already
10:12.3
It's really part of
10:13.5
Looking into trends
10:16.4
Or looking into concerns
10:18.4
That have been raised in the past
10:20.2
And we all know that
10:21.5
There are a lot of Chinese nationalists
10:24.3
That have been involved
10:26.0
In certain countries
10:27.6
In certain activities
10:28.3
Here in the Philippines
10:29.4
Some lawmakers welcomed the move
10:31.9
Adding that it is necessary
10:34.2
To strictly screen foreign students
10:36.4
Entering the Philippines
10:37.6
This is a welcome development
10:39.5
Because what is at stake here
10:41.8
Is our national security
10:43.2
We want to make sure
10:44.3
That the screening process
10:46.3
Of these students
10:47.5
Who are interested
10:49.0
To enter the Philippines
10:50.7
And have their education here
10:53.4
Should go under a very strict

And the government
10:57.6
Should go under a very strict

We want to make sure
11:00.5
That these students

Do not pose a security risk

To scrap a nearly 24-year-old
11:17.2
That allows the Bureau of Immigration
11:19.2
To convert tourist visas

He warned that EO 285
11:24.5
Issued during the term
11:25.8
Of former President Joseph Estrada
11:29.1
For monetary gain
11:36.8
It's like a money-making scheme
11:45.5
It's automatically
11:50.7
Issue another form of visa
11:54.4
Based on immigration records
11:57.4
1,500 Chinese nationals
11:59.6
Were granted student visas
12:00.9
In Cagayan last year
12:03.2
By a major Philippine university
12:06.6
Only 485 were enrolled
12:08.9
With only 96 on site
12:12.5
The Department of Foreign Affairs
12:13.7
Should be the sole agency
12:15.1
In charge of granting visas
12:17.1
Noting that it alone
12:19.2
Possesses the expertise

From testifying before the Senate

On the allegedly leaked documents

Of the Department of Justice's
13:01.3
Office of Cybercrime Investigation
13:04.3
He gave Morales advice
13:06.5
I immediately advised Morales
13:09.0
Not to participate
13:11.8
Considering the current
13:13.0
Political situation
13:14.5
Confronting our country today
13:16.2
The impact of such revelation
13:18.7
And the possibility
13:19.7
That it be used for political cause
13:21.7
Morales and Senator Jingo Estrada
13:24.0
Had heated exchanges
13:25.0
During the hearing
13:25.7
Due to questions about
13:26.8
Morales' credibility
13:27.7
And the authenticity
13:29.1
Of the footage he submitted
13:35.2
That is going to be presented
13:36.7
Before the committee
13:37.8
Is totally unedited
13:39.9
Knowing this person
13:43.9
Who has a lot of criminal records
13:46.7
Parang hindi naman po
13:48.4
Maganda yung sinasabi
13:50.2
Ni Senator Jingo Estrada
13:53.4
Patungkol sa akin
13:54.4
Parang naman ako talagang
13:57.9
Ako'y may kaso pa lang
13:59.6
At hindi pa napapatunayan
14:03.2
Ang ating butihing senador
14:04.7
Ay naon big na po
14:08.8
Alam mo Mr. Morales
14:09.7
Alam mo Mr. Morales
14:10.9
Ah, Senator Jingo
14:12.0
Please, please, please
14:13.1
Huwag mong pakikalaman yung kaso ko
14:19.1
After Estrada brought up
14:20.2
The ruling of the
14:20.9
Civil Service Commission
14:21.8
And the Supreme Court
14:22.8
That found him guilty
14:25.7
And conduct prejudicial
14:27.6
The Civil Service Commission
14:33.7
Based on Morales' admission
14:36.3
That he concealed
14:38.2
Or distorted the truth
14:41.1
About factual circumstance
14:44.0
Doon po sa kaso na yun
14:45.3
Ikaw mismo ang umamin
14:47.4
Na you have planted evidence
14:50.2
Paano ka namin ngayon
14:51.9
Paninawalaan sa mga sinasabi mo?
14:54.2
Akusado Mr. Chairman
14:56.8
I-test yung aking credibility
14:59.3
Dinadanas ko ngayon
15:02.9
Yung aking pagkatao
15:05.3
Ito ay may kinalaman
15:08.4
Presidente ng Pilipinas
15:11.6
Doon sa dokumento
15:17.1
The hearing went on
15:18.4
To discuss the 2021 drug test
15:20.8
Senator Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
15:23.5
Less than 5 minutes
15:24.4
Because that was the capacity
15:26.5
It was also limited
15:28.5
For which he tested negative
15:29.9
A former palace official
15:31.1
Explained why they met
15:32.8
Morales had claimed
15:34.4
To stop his investigation
15:35.6
Because the premise
15:39.0
Atty. Lacanelawis
15:42.0
Ni ginawang Morales kasi
15:43.2
Pinigilan daw yung
15:45.6
Investigation niya
15:46.6
Mula sa taas mismo
15:48.7
At bilang patunay nun
15:52.3
Pinatawag nga daw siya
15:58.7
From a big operation
15:59.8
To community operations
16:01.2
I think sa Payatas
16:04.6
Na hawak ng sindikato
16:06.5
Yung PIDEA leadership
16:08.8
So yun ang lubalabas
16:10.1
Hindi ko po naririnig
16:11.9
Wala pong kinalaman dun yun
16:13.7
Kaya po pinatawag namin
16:15.3
Just because of that
16:17.4
The PIDEA meanwhile
16:19.0
Explained point by point
16:20.1
Why the allegedly
16:22.9
They do not exist
16:29.8
Plans and Operation Service
16:35.4
Anti-illegal drugs operations
16:39.7
Amin pong database
16:46.3
In the National Drug Information System
16:48.6
Or Interagency Drug Information Database
16:51.7
Hence he has never been included
16:54.9
Or been subjected
16:57.1
Negation operation
17:00.2
In the conduct of the hearing
17:02.3
He's getting flak
17:03.7
Because of the hearings
17:04.6
Galit sa akin yung Duterte Group
17:06.6
Dahil nagpalabas po tayo
17:08.0
Nang warrant arrest
17:09.5
Against Pastor Kibuloy
17:12.4
Galit din yung Marcos Group
17:14.4
Yung mga loyalists
17:17.4
Ngayong araw na ito
17:19.3
Ilang dalawang linggo
17:21.8
The committee has received
17:23.8
Of the condo unit
17:26.5
Star Maricel Soriano
17:30.5
Soriano still owned it
17:32.5
With the information
17:33.2
Referenced in the
17:34.1
Leaked PIDEA document
17:35.3
The hearing also established
17:36.9
There's no specific law
17:38.0
Penalizing the leak
17:39.0
Of secret documents
17:39.9
There's still another
17:41.0
Hearing set for next week
17:42.1
Former Executive Secretary
17:44.1
Skipped Monday's hearing
17:49.8
Critics and activists
17:52.5
See little benefit
17:53.6
From the Philippine government's
17:55.1
New human rights body
17:56.5
President Marcos Jr.
17:59.1
A special committee
18:00.1
On human rights coordination
18:01.8
But rights groups
18:03.5
Doubt this will be effective
18:05.4
Kailangan natin tingnan
18:08.8
Nung mga agencies
18:12.0
Presidential Human Rights Committee
18:13.9
Na wala naman siyang
18:15.8
Para sa human rights
18:18.8
Sinisiraan pa nga nyan
18:19.8
Yung mga human rights
18:27.2
Sa kanilang mga performance
18:28.2
In terms of accountability
18:31.2
So may question dun
18:32.8
Sa composition ng
18:35.5
Kung baga pakita lang
18:45.6
Of human rights abuses
18:46.8
Instead of creating
18:52.5
Human rights body pa yan
18:54.7
Diyan yung mga polisya
18:56.0
Na hindi tinatanggal
18:57.8
Na yan yung nagiging dahilan
18:59.7
Yung human rights violation
19:04.1
Ng human rights violations
19:06.0
Gaya ng National Task Force
19:07.4
And local communist armed conflict

Na magbabago sa ground
19:15.3
Yung mga napag-unlad
19:17.3
Sa human rights situation
19:18.4
Amnesty International
19:21.4
Also sees no need
19:24.8
Human rights issues
19:26.0
Redundant na itong
19:31.4
Hindi na siya kailangan
19:32.5
Kasi nandiyan naman
19:33.9
Ang Commission on Human Rights
19:36.9
Ang Presidential Commission
19:39.7
The Philippine National Police

Yung ating IT officer po
20:19.5
Immediately shut down po
20:21.5
Yung system to prevent
20:23.1
Further damage if any
20:25.5
So in the initial action po
20:26.0
Imbestigahan po natin
20:27.0
Kung if there's really
20:28.0
There is indeed a attempt
20:36.4
Israel marks a solemn
20:39.2
As thousands of Palestinians

The Rafah crossing

The world tonight returns

After a short break

We're back on the world tonight

Israel's Prime Minister says

His country's existence

Benjamin Netanyahu

Spoke in Jerusalem
21:28.1
Honoring Israelis

21:32.8
Its military operations
21:34.2
In Gaza as the nation
21:35.6
Marked its Memorial Day
21:37.1
But Palestinians continued
21:38.8
To flee from the southern

Gaza city of Rafah
21:41.5
The UN aid agency
21:43.3
Said about 360,000 people
21:45.4
Have left the city
21:46.4
The death toll from Israel's
21:48.3
Military operation in Gaza
21:50.1
Has now surpassed 35,000

Russian President
21:58.1
As his new defense minister
22:01.7
Is a former deputy prime minister
22:03.6
Who specializes in economics
22:07.2
The change makes sense
22:08.6
Since Russia is approaching
22:10.0
A similar situation
22:13.0
When military and law enforcement
22:14.9
Authorities accounted for
22:16.6
7.4% of state spending
22:20.9
Who has been defense minister
22:23.5
Will become a secretary
22:25.7
In Russia's powerful

Flash floods kill
22:30.8
Hundreds of people
22:32.0
In northern Afghanistan
22:33.4
More than a thousand others
22:35.8
Local officials say
22:37.3
Thousands of homes
22:39.0
Bad weather continues
22:40.5
To hamper the distribution
22:42.1
Of relief supplies
22:43.3
The UN considers Afghanistan
22:45.4
One of the country's

22:48.8
Deadly floods also hit
22:51.2
Indonesia's West Sumatra province
22:53.2
At least 43 people were killed
22:55.4
Heavy rains also triggered landslides
22:58.0
Disaster officials say
22:59.8
Nearly 200 houses were damaged
23:01.9
72 hectares of rice fields
23:05.2
The Philippine House of Representatives
23:13.9
Begins plenary debates
23:15.6
On proposed amendments
23:16.9
To the rice tarification law
23:18.9
These seek to restore the mandate
23:21.3
Of the National Food Authority
23:22.8
To sell affordable rice
23:25.3
During emergency situations
23:27.2
The House Agriculture Committee Chair
23:29.7
Mark Enverga believes
23:31.2
This will stabilize rice prices
23:33.3
And address supply issues
23:36.4
He will speak to his Senate counterpart
23:39.2
To discuss the concerns of senators
23:41.5
Over the proposal
23:42.7
The clamor to revisit the law
23:47.9
It is high time for Congress
23:50.0
To act and address
23:51.4
The inadequacies of the law
23:53.4
The proposed amendment
23:54.9
Has been carefully looked into
23:57.0
So as not to affect the progress
23:59.9
We have attained in the rice industry
24:02.2
The Philippines is projected
24:06.7
To remain the world's largest
24:08.6
Rice importer in 2025
24:10.7
The U.S. Department of Agriculture
24:13.0
Expects total rice imports
24:14.6
By the Philippines
24:15.5
To reach 4.2 million metric tons
24:18.6
This is 100,000 metric tons higher
24:21.4
Than its estimate for 2024
24:23.4
The U.S. Agriculture Department
24:26.7
To higher rice consumption
24:28.4
Driven by population and tourism
24:30.7
If the projection holds
24:32.8
2025 will be the third consecutive year
24:35.6
In which the Philippines
24:36.9
Will import the most rice
24:38.4
In the global market
24:39.4
The country is the seventh
24:41.2
Largest rice producer in the world
24:43.4
Behind Thailand and Vietnam
24:45.6
Philippine shares rebound
24:49.1
At the start of the week
24:50.4
As traders welcomed
24:51.7
A new listed company
24:53.1
The details in this report
24:54.9
Regional equities wobbled
24:59.3
With latest economic data
25:01.5
Clouding sentiment
25:02.7
China's consumer prices climbed
25:04.9
For a third straight month in April
25:06.9
While producer prices
25:08.6
Continued to head south
25:10.4
The sliver of hope

A special bond issuance program

Worth $138 billion

To shore up recovery
25:20.2
Back here at home
25:21.8
Philippine shares bounce back
25:23.3
To the 6600 level
25:24.9
As traders await queues
25:28.0
Of the central bank
25:29.0
Which will meet on Thursday
25:31.1
But Supetera.com's Mico Sayo
25:33.8
Doubts the upward movement
25:37.0
The PSE is currently stuck
25:40.2
Within the 6400 to 6800 range
25:44.8
With some minor support
25:47.0
And resistances at 65 and 67
25:49.6
I don't really see any big catalysts
25:53.8
In the short term
25:55.5
So I expect the market
25:58.3
To just continue to be
25:59.9
Range bound in the short term
26:01.8
Also in the local bores
26:07.2
The PSE welcomed an addition

26:23.8
Offering 456 million
26:27.3
Its debut price though
26:29.8
And the mining producer
26:31.0
Traded in the red
26:34.2
Average price was 12.79 pesos
26:37.4
From its offer of 13.33 apiece
26:41.1
OGP's IPO listing
26:45.9
When prospects for the mining sector
26:52.1
Is looking to divide
26:53.7
The mining industry
26:55.8
To boost its potential contribution
26:59.3
The local mining sector
27:02.4
Certainly has a vast potential
27:05.4
That can fuel economic growth
27:07.7
We at Oceana Gold Philippines
27:09.6
Are not doing this listing
27:11.1
Merely to comply with our contract
27:13.1
With the Philippine government
27:14.3
We are doing this

Or 46 billion pesos
27:45.8
The facility will boast
27:47.9
Of a 20-foot equivalent unit capacity
27:50.0
Of over 2 million
27:51.4
Construction begins next year
27:53.4
With target completion

Dozens of students
28:01.1
Walked out of Duke University's
28:02.9
Commencement ceremony
28:04.0
In North Carolina
28:05.3
They protested their guest speaker
28:08.1
Comedian Jerry Seinfeld
28:09.6
Who supports Israel's war in Gaza
28:11.8
But other graduates
28:13.6
Cheered the comedian
28:14.4
As he received an honorary degree
28:16.6
The walkout is the latest
28:18.7
Manifestation of campus protests
28:22.2
Over Israel's deadly
28:23.3
Military operations
28:25.1
I grew up a Jewish boy
28:29.8
That is a privilege
28:30.7
If you want to be a comedian
28:36.0
If I messed up a funny story
28:40.1
Around my relatives
28:41.9
That's not how you tell that joke
28:43.8
The prostitute has to be
28:45.5
Behind the drapes
28:46.5
When the wife comes in
28:50.4
That is an unbelievable privilege
28:52.6
I grew up in New York
28:53.3
I now have an honorary doctorate
28:55.0
A humane letters degree
28:56.4
From Duke University
28:57.9
And if I can figure out a way
29:00.6
I haven't figured anything out yet
29:04.0
I think it's pretty much as useful
29:07.4
As this outfit I'm wearing

Our final word tonight
29:13.4
Is a quote from Paul Virilio
29:15.5
Sovereignty no longer resides
29:18.1
In the territory itself

But in the control
