Because of limited mobility, people are also not being able to go to physical branches, etc.
03:04.9
It further accelerated the adoption of consumers of digital channels.
03:11.7
We are now being able to provide the services needed by our citizens, by our consumers.
03:29.0
Thank you for watching!
03:59.0
Thank you for watching!
04:29.6
Mobility will be key to recovery because we have relaxed some of our quarantine methods
04:36.9
and we have allowed more transportation to come out.
04:41.2
That's going to prove to be better for demand.
04:44.4
If we do follow the health protocols, the ability of people to move around will likely contribute better to growth.

Technology and innovation have changed the way we live.
05:43.4
We told stories about crisis, but also about opportunities that came with it.
05:50.5
This is the Philippines.
06:05.7
And we are Gansi.
06:16.9
One of the reasons that we have focused on the Philippines is this.
06:20.4
This country aspires, of course, as a middle-income country to even becoming a high-middle-income country.
06:27.5
Under the rubric of what we describe as leave no one behind,
06:32.0
we need to make sure that we refocus our efforts on the most vulnerable sectors of the population.
06:39.1
Our effort is really to find durable solutions by this multifaceted approach,
06:43.4
bringing in the humanitarian partners, the development partners, and the peace-building aspects
06:48.0
to ensure that reconciliation works.
06:50.4
And on other vulnerable communities that need support in poverty alleviation,
06:55.8
but also in community resilience and reconciliation.
07:06.3
Good morning, I'm Bettina Magsaysay.
07:15.8
Join me as we give you the rundown of the news you need to know today.
07:19.1
Nearly two dozen Filipino seafarers, all safe, following another attack by Houthi rebels in the Red Sea.
07:28.9
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. orders a probe on China's alleged wiretapping of a high-ranking Philippine military official.
07:39.1
And search and rescue efforts underway after a helicopter carrying Iran's president and foreign minister crashed.
07:49.1
Welcome to the program.
07:51.5
All 23 Filipino crew members on board a vessel attacked by Houthi rebels over the weekend are safe.
07:58.3
That's according to the Migrant Workers Department.
08:00.8
The agency says the vessel, which sustained slight damage, was close to the Yemeni port of Hudayda when it was attacked,
08:09.1
but it was able to continue sailing.
08:11.6
The DMW says it is closely coordinating with international maritime authorities and local manning agencies
08:18.5
on the status of ships with Filipino seafarers sailing in high-risk areas.
08:23.6
Back in March, two Filipinos were killed while several others were injured in another attack by Houthi rebels.
08:34.1
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. orders an investigation on China's alleged wiretapping of Vice Admiral Alberto Carlos.
08:42.3
Beijing has claimed Carlos agreed to a new model on the Ayungin Shoal
08:46.4
in a phone conversation with the Chinese.
08:48.5
But Marcos says the issue won't be resolved until the recording of the alleged phone call has been publicized.
09:18.5
Until they release it, it becomes harder and harder to believe and to accept that there was an agreement.
09:28.7
Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro earlier confirmed Carlos will be replaced by Rear Admiral Alfonso Torres Jr.
09:36.9
But he did not disclose the reason for the move.
09:40.0
The Philippine government has maintained it has not made any agreements with China
09:44.4
and only President Marcos can authorize deals on matters relating to the agreement.
09:48.5
He моей name de тр,"
09:54.5
That's how President Marcos calls the new policy of China
09:58.0
which allows its coastguard to detain foreigners for crossing borders claimed by Beijing.
10:03.7
The new rule also gives China's coastguard the power
10:07.0
to seize foreign ships suspected of trespassing.
10:10.5
The Philippine leader is firmly rejecting Beijing's new regulation.
10:15.6
That kind of action would be completely unacceptable.
10:18.5
It is unacceptable to the Philippines. Of course, once again, I do not talk about operational details, so you will leave it to us. But the position that we take is that that is unacceptable. And we will take whatever measures to always protect our citizens.
10:42.9
Thank you very much.
11:12.9
That proves nothing. You know how many pictures I take during a campaign?
11:21.1
Siguro isang libu sa isang araw.
11:24.2
Malat naman ang humingi ng SELP, hindi mo naman hinihindi yan.
11:27.5
So, it doesn't really mean anything.
11:33.0
Meanwhile, the Interior and Local Government Department vows to speed up its investigation into the background of GUL.
11:39.2
The DILG earlier urged the Office of the Ombudsman,
11:42.9
to suspend the Bamban Mayor.
11:47.5
President Marcos reiterates,
11:49.5
the move to unite political parties is not an attempt to dominate the 2025 midterm polls.
11:55.9
The Nationalist People's Coalition on Saturday inked an alliance with the President's Partido Federal ng Pilipinas.
12:03.3
the partnership is grounded on the desire of the two parties for positive change and genuine unity in the country.
12:12.9
If this alliance is durable, it is a partnership of equals and one anchored on a set of principles.
12:19.8
It is not a marriage of congenience, as we often find in politics,
12:24.6
but it is born out of a need to unite for the greater good.
12:29.2
Ito ay hindi pampulitika lamang.
12:31.6
Itong pagsasama na ito ay para patibayin ang ating pangako sa ating mga kababayan na gagawin natin ang lahat.
12:42.9
At tayo ay magkakapitbisig na tumutulong para pagandahin ang buhay ng bawat Pilipino.
12:51.7
Para pagandahin ang ating minamahal na Pilipinas.
12:57.0
NPC Chairman Vicente Soto III, meanwhile, believes his party will play a big role in the alliance.
13:04.1
Almost half of its 4,000 members are incumbent officials in the country,
13:08.3
including Senators J.V. Ejercito and Francis Escudero.
13:13.9
NPC on its own has proven to be a political force to be reckoned with.
13:21.5
Now, together with the Partido Federal ng Pilipinas,
13:26.3
we have formed the strongest and unbeatable alliance in the history of Philippine politics.
13:34.3
Let this alliance be a symbol of hope.
13:37.5
Let us harness the strength of our diversity.
13:42.9
Respecting differing perspectives while embracing our shared values
13:47.9
as we strive towards a common vision of a brighter, more equitable future.
13:56.6
The PFP earlier inked an alliance with LACA-CMD,
14:00.7
the political party of the President's cousin, House Speaker Martin Ramualdez.
14:04.9
Marcos had said he hopes to finalize the party's alliances and coalitions
14:09.6
before the filing of certificates of candidacy.

14:50.4

14:56.4

15:06.2

15:12.1
Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fitso
15:15.4
no longer in immediate danger
15:17.0
following last week's assassination attempt.
15:20.1
A deputy prime minister, however, says
15:22.1
Fitso's condition is still too serious
15:24.7
to consider transferring him to a hospital in the capital.
15:28.0
The shooting was the first major assassination attempt
15:31.2
on a European political leader in more than 20 years.
15:35.7
Political analysts say it has exposed
15:37.5
an increasingly polarized political climate
15:40.3
in Slovakia and across Europe.
15:42.1

has truly fueled me and my motivation to embrace this new chapter.
26:17.3

Our resident and movie critic, Manny the Movie Guy, tells us what he thinks.
27:11.8
What are you anyway?
27:16.9
That's imaginary friend to you.
27:19.4
John Krasinski starred, wrote, and directed this feel-good but ultimately hollow experience.
27:27.1
The premise is more interesting than the plot.
27:30.2
We have Kaylee Fleming as Bea, a young girl who can see ifs.
27:33.7
And the man who lives downstairs is Cal, played by Ryan Reynolds.
27:37.5
He can also see ifs.
27:39.8
To reunite the forgotten ifs.
27:41.8
With their former kids.
27:45.3

If it's undercooked and overstuffed,
27:50.3
the megastar's studded voice actors range from Steve Carell to Matt Damon
27:54.5
and everyone in between.
27:56.6
And therein lies the problem.
27:58.7
Too many ifs, not enough story.
28:01.5
You have to help them.
28:02.4
The bright spots are the scene-stealing Fiona Shaw as Bea's grandma

From Danny Harlan, this new Strangers is still creepy,
28:54.5
even though you know what's going to happen.
28:56.7
But here's the intriguing part.
28:58.3
We're about to know the history behind the villains.

Man in the Mask, Dollface, and Pinup Girl.
29:04.0
But you just have to wait for Chapter 2.
29:07.2

29:11.8
