Good afternoon, I'm Denise Dinsay and here are the stories that made it to ANC's rundown.

China orders a Philippine Coast Guard plane that flew over Manila's waters to leave.

Xi Jinping secures an unprecedented third term as China's president.

And Philippine police raid the properties of a house lawmaker implicated in several

murders in Negros Oriental.

Welcome to the program.

A Philippine Coast Guard aircraft encounters several radio challenges from China.

The plane, which was carrying journalists, was ordered to leave by China when it flew

over the Spratly Islands Thursday.

It was again challenged by Beijing as it flew over another hotspot, the Ayungan Shoal,

where China used a military-grade laser on a Philippine vessel last month.

China claims sovereignty over almost the entire South China Sea.

During the four-hour flight, PCG personnel also identified nearly 20 Chinese vessels,

including suspected maritime militia boats, in Philippine waters.

Over in China, Xi Jinping formally tightens his grip on power.

Xi has been handed his third term as president, capping a rise that has seen him become China's

most powerful leader in generations.

His appointment was locked in after a vote by Beijing's rubber-stamp parliament.

This also comes after he secured another five years as head of the Communist Party and

the military.

Back in 2018, Xi paved the way for him to rule China for life when he abolished a two-year

term limit on the presidency.

Back at home, Philippine police raid properties owned by lawmaker Alnorfo Tevez Jr. in Negros

Oriental.

According to his lawyer, Ferdinand Topasho, police searched the four illegal firearms.

But Topasho claims they have already surrendered most of the weapons to authorities.

Tevez is linked to the March 4 slay of Negros Oriental Governor Roel Degamo.

He's also facing murder charges in connection with the killing of former Negros Oriental

board member Miguel Duong and two others in 2019.

I'm confident that Congressman Tevez will be exonerated if only for the simple fact

that he's innocent of these charges.

Topasho asserts his client is ready to answer all allegations once he gets back from the

U.S.

The lawmaker is supposed to return home today, but he has requested to extend his trip.

The task force leading the probe on Governor Degamo's killing meanwhile reveals the murder

was planned since late last year.

Authorities add they are narrowing down the possible motive for the killing, which now

include personal grudge and political rivalry.

But they assert no one is being singled out.

Since December, may mga suspects na po na were recruited to conduct casing and surveillance

intelligence works to determine the best option on how to attack the governor.

And nag-recruit sila.

We are looking into everyone, not only Congressman Tevez.

Of course, it is considered because of what the suspect had mentioned.

The Philippine military, meanwhile, vows to ramp up monitoring of its active and former

personnel who may be engaged in criminal activities.

That's after some of them were tagged in the killing of Governor Degamo.

The army has already said that it will review the transition assistance program.

This program is intended for the retiring personnel.

Now the Philippine army is thinking of including those who will be separated from the service

because of the cases they are facing.

We have taught these people the skill that is very dangerous if used in crimes or in

lawlessness.

So, I think it is also our responsibility to make sure that these skill sets that they

have learned will not be used against our people.

Philippine investigators are reviewing the exchange of online messages by fraternity

members involved in the death of Adamson University student John Matthew Salilig.

The messages by Tau Gama Phi fraternity members show how they tried to conceal their crime.

Five persons of interest have already surrendered to the NBI in the investigation of the alleged

hazing death of John Matthew Salilig.

Contents of the alleged chat group of the Tau Gama Phi fraternity were also submitted

to the NBI and is now under scrutiny.

Members talked about the condition of one member, though Salilig was not named.

Before 9 p.m., Salilig was brought to the house of a frat man which is consistent with

the statement of one member.

The group struggled to bring him inside the house.

A frat man gave instructions to startle and forcibly awaken Salilig, including biting

his fingers.

They were also told not to bring him to the hospital.

They were also instructed to avoid the CCTVs in the house.

By 9.45, the group panicked when they noticed that Salilig was not breathing despite administering

CPR.

At this point, the exchange of messages suggests Salilig did not recover.

It was past midnight when they talked about deleting messages.

They also agreed to dispose of Salilig's body.

They looked for a bed sheet to wrap around Salilig's body and there was an order to replace

the car's plate number.

A canal in Cavite was identified by the group, until there was an order to throw the body.

It was 8 in the morning when members started leaving the group chat one by one, until the

group chat was deleted.

Elias Biggy, an officer of the fraternity, denied the allegations on Wednesday that

he was involved in the planning of the initiation and polishing the paddles, which were specified

in the group chat.

The lawyer of Elias Void, another person of interest, explained that while he had participation

in the initiation, he says it was born out of fear.

The

NBI will create a timeline of events and enumerate the participation of each fratman.

Nico Bawa, ABS-CBN News.

Meanwhile six more people who are allegedly involved in the death of John Matthew Salilig

are expected to surrender to authorities.

That's according to Philippine Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla.

He adds more witnesses have also been identified.

I got the report yesterday that there were more witnesses who wanted to surface and give

a, to clarify the involvement or non-involvement in the, in what happened in the hazing cases.

Over in Cebu City, four suspects in the alleged hazing death of a university student there

have surrendered to authorities.

Cebu City police say the persons turned themselves in Thursday and they include the master initiator

of the Tau Gamma Phi fraternity rites said to have killed Ronel Baguio in December last

year.

Police say they may file the charges by next week.

That's after one witness in the hazing rites surfaced whose statement could prove vital

to the case.

It adds two more suspects remain at large.

They were moved by their conscience now that they have seen the extent of the incident

and as well as they have been briefed by the elders of their fraternity.

We do not consider them a flight risk.

Actually yesterday they've already committed that they will really face the consequences

of their actions.

President Marcos graces the graduation rites of the Philippine National Police Academy

in Silangkavite.

Our very own Joyce Balancho joins us for an update.

Joyce.

Yes, Denise, Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. led the giving of awards and diplomas

to cadets who finished Bachelor of Science in Public Safety in the Philippine National

Police Academy at the Brigadier General Cicero Campus Field in Silangkavite.

In his speech, President Marcos congratulated the 208 cadets that comprise the Maasahang

Tagapagsilbi ng Inambayan na may dangala talino na ang layunin ay kapayapaan or the

Masid-Talak Class of 2023.

He reminded the cadets to be morally upright and to always defend and protect the rights

of the Filipino people.

The chief executive also said that he hoped that the graduates would serve as catalysts

for restoring public trust to the PNP as well as other law enforcement agencies.

He also encouraged them to keep in mind to always fulfill their duties and responsibilities

with fairness and impartiality, and that delivery of public service should be devoid

of prejudice, favoritism, or discrimination.

Meanwhile, also during the program, the president also witnessed the outstaking of the new

police lieutenants, jail inspectors, and fire inspectors.

Out of the 208 graduates, 186 of them will be joining the Philippine National Police,

11 will be in the Bureau of Fire Protection, and another 11 will be part of the Bureau

of Jail Management and Penology.

Police Cadet Francis Zeneta has been hailed as class valedictorian.

Prior to entering the PNPA, he finished Bachelor of Science in Education, major in mathematics

at the Mindoro State College of Agriculture and Technology as magna cum laude.

Additionally, also Denise, we also saw suspended Buker chief Gerald Bantag attending the commencement

exercises earlier and was beside the president on stage while his son, Steele Bautista Bantag,

received his diploma.

In a separate interview, Steele Bantag said that he plans to join the BFP after his graduation,

and he said he's not affected by the cases or controversies being leveled against his

father.

Meanwhile, PNPA Director of Police Major General Eric Noble, in his speech, also thanked

President Marcos for making time and attending the commencement exercises here in Cavite.

He also said the PNPA is currently developing a parade ground just within this compound

that would be named Marcos Field.

Denise?

Thanks, Joyce.

Naviation authorities working double time to determine the possible cause of the plane

crash in Isabela.

They say every piece of the wreckage will help their investigation.

Wala po siya talagang designated airway.

So ang pilotok po siguro dahil sa weather, maring yan po iiwas pa kanan o pa kaliwa.

Dito po siguro umiiwas po siya pa kanan sa mga ulap.

Yan po ang ating mga dapat tingnan diyan.

Ano po ba ang mga nangyari?

Ang po ba i-brought about by weather na lost siya ng control, went into tinatawag natin

unusual state of attitude ng aeroplano, or sira po ba ito ng makina or ng airframe ng

aeroplano.

So mahalaga pong makuha natin lahat yung mga parts niyan para po mapag-aralan.

Captain Edgardo Diaz also says the ill-fated flight could have reached its destination

in about 10 minutes when the crash happened.

A relative of one of the victims, meanwhile, appeals to Isabela's local government to

do something to prevent a similar tragedy from happening again.

Gusto ko lang din sana, ma'am, paabot sa namuumuno ng Isabela kasi yan na lang po yung

hindi ko, ma'am, eh.

Hindi na-develop na coastal part ng Isabela na sana itutuloy na nilang gawin yung kalsada

na yan para wala nang magbuwis buhay.

Mayroon lang ang kalsada, sir, kaso lang, ito nga, nagkaroon ng pandemic, yan na, hindi

natuloy.

Redentor Gabutan is the brother of Josefa Perla España.

At the start of the search, one of España's relatives was able to reach her phone.

No one answered until it lost contact.

But that signal helped search efforts for the plane.

Over now to the oil spill in Oriental Mindoro.

A fisherfull group wants government intervention to address fish supply woes in the province.

Malahaya says this is needed to prevent traders from jacking up fish prices.

The group adds government should require the sunken tanker's owner to provide daily compensation

to affected residents there.

Hindi nga subsidy, dapat arawan sa ahod.

May mga iba pang mga pangailangan yung pamilya nila, may mga anak silang nag-aaral, diba?

Pero kailangan yan, dapat mayroong sahod na i-compensate doon sa oil company.

Environmental advocates, meanwhile, hope to see a more responsible shipping line industry

to prevent more cases of oil spills.

Greenpeace says there must be a conscious effort to avoid sailing in protected waters.

It also asserts companies involved in oil spills should be the ones on top of containment

and rehabilitation efforts.

Nakikita natin na hindi lang sa hindi nag-i-improve ang mga shipping companies and also yung mga

fossil fuel industries in ensuring that their business operations will not harm the environment.

Although, alam natin na the fossil fuel industry itself is harmful to the environment.

Wala tayo nang hihitang improvement na lalo na sa transport.

And case in point, ito ngayon nangyari sa Mindoro, is a reminder for us na walang progress

from these companies.

For a Dig at Quick break, coming up, seven people were killed while eight others were injured

in a shooting incident in Germany.

More on that when we come back.

Stay with ANC's One Down.

Back with more news.

A fatal shooting erupts at a Jehovah's Witness church in the north German city of Hamburg,

leaving seven dead and eight others wounded.

Police say a gunman is believed to be dead, but there could be more than one assailant.

The shooting rampage happened at 9 p.m. local time.

An investigation is now underway to determine the motive.

I cannot give any information on the background at the moment.

This is all still speculation.

We have no indications that the perpetrator is on the run, but rather indications that

the perpetrator is possibly in the building, possibly even among the dead.

Russia unleashes a barrage of high-precision missile strikes in Ukraine.

The strikes killed at least nine people and triggered power cuts in several areas, including

at Europe's biggest nuclear power plant.

Russia said the strikes were in retaliation for a border incursion earlier this month,

where alleged Ukrainian nationalists killed two civilians.

Kyiv has denied that accusation.

The goal of the strike has been achieved.

All the targets have been hit as a result of the strike.

UAV bases were destroyed, transfer of reserves and transportation by train of foreign equipment

were thwarted.

Switching gears now, you may remember Hilary Dayan-Andales as the first Filipino winner

of the Breakthrough Junior Challenge, also known as the Oscars of Science.

It came as no surprise that she ended up studying at the Massachusetts Institute of

Technology, where she's now a graduating student majoring in physics.

Hilary plans to pursue a doctoral degree.

Get this, she got accepted in not one, but seven top universities in the U.S.

Given what she achieved, Hilary hopes to inspire women like her who love science to just reach

for their dreams.

I actually don't think about glass ceilings at all.

So it's an open journey and an open road for me, and I know glass ceiling for me.

Throughout my time at MIT, I've failed some exams.

I've cried about some homework, and I keep all of those documented.

And those just really helped me put everything into perspective that all these failures

really are just learning opportunities.

Asked if there's a frontrunner yet on the seven prestigious universities that want her,

Hilary says so far she's considering Yale, Stanford, and University of Chicago.

And before we go, Disney Plus drops a new heartwarming film that tells the story of

an Asian-American trying to make it big in basketball.

Our Hollywood correspondent, Yon Chavez, talks with the cast of Chang Can Dunk in this report.

In Chang Can Dunk, the new film from Disney Plus, Chang dreams of becoming a basketball

player like his idol Kobe Bryant.

But first he has to accomplish a major life goal, have faith in himself.

Bloomlee stars as the 5'8 student Chang who aspires to prove to everyone that he could

reach the 10' high hoop net and score a dunk.

How keenly did you relate to Chang in terms of his high school experience and as an immigrant?

I think I definitely have more friends than Chang in high school.

I kind of was a little bit more popular than Chang in high school.

But I related to Chang's immigrant experience and like his desire to like want to be seen

a lot.

You know, there's a scene in the movie where Chang sits down with his mother while she's

asleep and like on the couch.

And I've had that moment in my life like many times.

So I think his experience, I think the important things of Chang I completely related to and

was able to kind of embody.

The coming of age movie is loosely based on writer-director Jimmy Hsiao's own experiences

growing up as an Asian-American.

I think that all Asian-American filmmakers when they're making something, they feel

that.

I think all minority people of color who are filmmakers, they feel like they're, because

the opportunities are so slim that when they do get a chance, they are representing more

than just themselves.

But what I've always believed that is if you're pulling from a personal truth, if you're really

being honest with what the story is and what you're trying to say, then you're doing the

best that you can to represent you and whatever community that you belong.

And that's all we can do as artists is to show our truth.

The heartwarming music in the film was done by a pair of Filipino talents.

Angela Asistio is its music supervisor who found songs for the film.

Chang conducts film composer Nathan Matthew David is also Filipino.

He and she and I talked early on about the sort of influences that we wanted to have.

The fact that we were going to include a lot of different genres, you know, I think a lot

of times basketball is associated with hip-hop, but we wanted to, you know, bring in other

aspects of music that could, you know, change the way that the movie feels.

And just working with them was an incredible experience.

The movie also features a song by Grammy-winning film singer Steve Lacey.
