Good morning, I'm Bettina Magsaysay.
00:07.1
Join me as we give you the rundown of the news you need to know today.
00:11.5
All eyes at the White House as leaders of the U.S., Japan and the Philippines meet for a historic trilateral summit.
00:20.9
Tokyo and Washington seem to invest at least $100 billion in Manila in the next 5 to 10 years.
00:27.7
And three sons of Hamas leader Ismael Haniyeh killed in an Israeli airstrike in the Gaza Strip.
00:38.5
Welcome to the program.
00:40.6
Problems hounding the Indo-Pacific front and center as leaders of the U.S., Japan and the Philippines meet for their highly anticipated trilateral summit.
00:50.9
Speaking at the White House, U.S. President Joe Biden said,
00:54.7
ensuring a free Indo-Pacific will be prioritized as the three countries showcase their growing partnership.
01:02.4
Thursday's summit is wildly expected to focus on China's maritime incursions as the U.S., the Philippines and Japan seek to deter Beijing's aggressive behavior.
01:14.2
I look forward to discussing how we can even deepen it more, including increasing defense and technology and cooperation across the board.
01:23.6
And we can also...
01:24.7
We can also discuss how we can continue to enhance and ensure Indo-Pacific remains a free, open and prosperous region of the world with us standing together.
01:35.1
And thank you for being here, Mr. Prime Minister. You've heard me say this before, but I'll say it again.
01:39.9
You're a genuine leader, true partner and a good friend. Thank you for being here.
01:43.9
For the future stay, Noel.
01:46.7
Biden and Japanese Prime Minister Humeo Kishida met at the White House Wednesday in the lead-up to their trilateral summit.
01:54.7
They met with Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
01:58.1
Biden said Washington's military upgrade with Tokyo is the most significant yet since their alliance began.
02:06.7
Together, our countries are taking significant steps to strengthen defense-security cooperation.
02:12.3
We're modernizing command and control structures and we're increasing the interoperability and planning of our militaries so they can work together in a seamless and effective way.
02:21.5
I'm also pleased to announce that for the first time,
02:24.7
Japan and the United States and Australia will create a networked system of air, missile and defense architecture.
02:35.1
Meanwhile, President Marcos is expected to arrive in Washington, D.C. around 7.55 a.m. Manila time.
02:42.4
Like the U.S. and Japan, Marcos said the Philippines will strengthen its cooperation with the two countries, both on the economic and security fronts.
02:51.3
Aside from their trilateral summit,
02:54.7
Marcos will also hold a bilateral meeting with Biden and meet with American investors during his U.S. trip.
03:02.5
It is my intention also to exchange views with my U.S. and Japanese counterparts on various regional security issues of mutual concern,
03:11.4
while continuing to reiterate the importance of upholding the rule of law and preserving the rules-based international order in the Indo-Pacific region.
03:22.5
I intend to explore ways of adequacy,
03:24.7
We are advancing cooperation especially in the areas of critical infrastructure, semiconductors, digitalization and cyber security, critical minerals, renewable energy as well as defense and maritime cooperation.
03:44.1
The Philippines is seen bagging huge investment deals during the historic trilateral summit in Washington.
03:50.6
Philippine Ambassador to the U.S. Jose Manuel Romuales says the U.S. and Japan are expected to pour in at least $100 billion into the Philippines in the next 5 to 10 years.
04:03.5
The investment package will cover various sectors including energy, semiconductor and infrastructure.
04:12.3
This meeting is not only important but it is also significant.
04:18.6
Aside from the defense strategies that we have,
04:20.6
the enhancement of our economic cooperation with Japan and the United States is just as important.
04:29.0
The energy exploration of course which involves the West Philippine Sea is part and parcel of what we are looking at to bump up our energy requirements which is increasing every year.
04:45.3
Washington was Manila's fourth largest source of foreign direct investments last year.
04:51.1
Amounting to $110 million.
04:53.3
Another big project has put it in theitives place.
04:55.5
It also ranked as the country's third biggest trading partner in 2023 with a total trade of nearly $20 billion.
04:58.4
Japan meanwhile is the Philippines' largest source of official development assistance with nearly $13 billion in aid or about 40% of the country's total portfolio.
05:16.4
President Marco is seeking investments from Nuclear Power firms.
05:20.3
the sidelines of the Trilateral Summit.
05:23.1
Philippine Ambassador Jose Manuel
05:24.6
Ramualdez says Marcos will
05:26.6
be speaking with several companies
05:28.3
including American firm
05:29.9
Ultrasafe Nuclear Corporation.
05:33.1
Marcos earlier said
05:34.2
he sees nuclear energy becoming
05:36.5
a part of the country's energy mix
05:40.3
Last year, the Philippines and the U.S.
05:42.3
signed a landmark agreement
05:43.9
that would facilitate cooperation
05:45.9
on the peaceful use of nuclear energy.
05:54.0
clean energy projects that we're
05:56.4
trying to lure into the country
05:57.8
is the small modular nuclear power
06:00.3
plants. We have 7,640
06:02.5
islands and this is going
06:04.3
to be perfect for us. It's
06:06.2
much safer, it's cleaner
06:08.5
and at the same time
06:09.7
it is a very new technology.
06:18.4
leaving for Washington, President
06:20.1
Marcos summoned Beijing's envoy
06:22.1
in Manila to seek an explanation
06:24.4
of the supposed South China Sea
06:26.5
deal between his predecessor
06:28.3
and Chinese leader Xi Jinping.
06:30.8
Pia Gutierrez reports.
06:34.4
Ferdinand Marcos Jr. says he's
06:36.3
horrified by the idea of a
06:38.4
so-called secret gentleman's agreement
06:40.4
supposedly entered into by
06:42.4
his predecessor, former President
06:44.3
Rodrigo Duterte with Chinese President
06:46.5
Xi Jinping on the West Philippine
06:48.4
Sea. I am horrified by the
06:50.3
idea that we have
06:52.1
compromised through a
06:55.4
the territory, the sovereignty
06:58.5
and the sovereign rights of the Philippines.
07:02.2
Duterte spokesperson, Attorney Harry
07:04.2
Roque, earlier revealed that the
07:06.3
former Philippine leader agreed with Chinese
07:08.4
President Xi Jinping to keep
07:10.4
the status quo in the West Philippine
07:12.3
Sea. The deal, he says, includes
07:14.3
not to undertake repairs in the BRP
07:16.4
Sierra Madre, the grounded
07:18.4
Philippine warship, which serves as
07:20.3
the Philippines' lone outpost at the
07:22.3
Ilyungin Shoal. But Marcos
07:24.3
Jr. says they do not have any
07:26.2
information whatsoever about this
07:32.5
out, we don't know. It is
07:34.4
a secret agreement. We don't
07:36.4
know anything about it. There is no
07:38.2
documentation, there is no record,
07:43.0
We were not briefed when
07:44.3
I came into office. Walang-walang nagsabi
07:46.2
sa amin na merong ganong usapan.
07:48.4
Hindi pa namin alam kung ano ba talaga yung agreement
07:50.3
na yan. But, kung
07:55.1
sa agreement na yan, na kailangan
07:56.7
tayong magpermiso
07:58.1
sa ibang bansa para
08:00.6
gumalaw sa ating sariling
08:02.7
teritoryo, ay mahirap
08:07.1
yung kanyang klaseng agreement.
08:08.9
The President says he is currently
08:10.6
seeking clarification from former
08:12.6
administration officials.
08:14.6
He has also summoned Chinese Ambassador
08:16.4
to the Philippines, Wang Shilian, to
08:18.4
shed light on the matter.
08:19.9
That is something. We still have to clear it up.
08:22.6
We are waiting for Ambassador Wang
08:24.3
to come back from Beijing, na humalik siya
08:26.5
and I asked to see him.
08:28.0
Baka siguro sa pagbalik na.
08:31.5
At ipaliwanag niya,
08:32.6
ano ba, sino bang kausap mo?
08:34.5
Sino ba talagang kausap mo? Anong pinag-usapan
08:36.7
ninyo? Anong pinag-agrehan ninyo?
08:39.7
Was this an official
08:40.6
thing or was it a personal thing?
08:42.7
Ano ba ito? Dahil wala kaming record.
08:45.0
Kahit saan ka tumingin,
08:46.6
walang record. So, sikretong ginawa
08:48.4
lahat ito. Bakit nila ginawa?
08:50.6
Kung gagawin man nila, ba't pa nila ginawa
08:55.0
Nakakapagtaka nga eh. Kaya it's
08:56.5
not a good situation.
08:58.5
Albay Representative Edsel Lagman
09:00.3
agrees with the President in saying that
09:02.3
the supposed secret deal is a grave mistake
09:04.8
and compromises Philippine
09:06.6
sovereignty. He says there
09:08.5
can be no gentleman's agreement with
09:10.4
a chronic aggressor like China in the
09:12.4
West Philippine Sea, adding that
09:14.5
the deal has no binding effect.
09:16.3
Duterte's other former
09:18.0
spokesperson, Attorney Salvador
09:19.8
Panelo, has denied the existence
09:21.6
of the supposed gentleman's agreement.
09:24.6
In a recent statement,
09:26.2
he insisted that the former President
09:27.8
has never and would never enter
09:29.9
into any agreement that is against the
09:31.9
Philippine national interest, sovereignty
09:34.0
and territorial integrity.
09:36.2
He claims Marcus Jr.
09:37.9
has been misinformed and misled on the
09:40.0
matter, as he warned against those
09:42.1
who spread false news and
09:43.9
bogus narratives.
09:46.3
Chérez, ABS-CBN News.
09:50.3
China asserts there has never been
09:52.7
any problem with freedom of
09:54.5
navigation in the South China Sea.
09:56.8
That statement coming from Chinese
09:58.6
Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning
10:00.8
in reaction to the upcoming
10:02.7
trilateral summit in Washington
10:04.7
which President Marcus says
10:06.6
will also include an agreement
10:08.6
to maintain security and freedom
10:10.7
of navigation in the South China Sea.
10:14.6
Thanks to the joint
10:16.3
efforts of China and ASEAN,
10:18.7
the South China Sea has basically
10:20.5
maintained peace and stability.
10:22.5
Some countries outside the region
10:24.2
led by the United States are
10:26.4
constantly forming small circles
10:28.3
in the South China Sea to engage
10:30.7
in confrontation in the name
10:32.4
of cooperation, flex their
10:34.6
muscles in the name of peace
10:36.3
and create chaos in the name of order.
10:40.7
Beijing claims sovereignty
10:42.2
over nearly the entire South China
10:44.6
Sea despite competing claims,
10:46.3
including the Philippines.
10:51.6
The Philippine military
10:53.2
investigating suspected Chinese
10:55.4
companies that are allegedly
10:56.8
recruiting active and former
10:58.7
military personnel.
11:00.6
AFP spokesperson Francel Marguerite
11:02.8
Padilla says they are checking
11:04.8
the veracity of the reports
11:06.5
alongside other government agencies.
11:09.1
While the military has yet to fully
11:10.9
uncover the extent of the scheme,
11:13.5
Padilla notes it can be
11:15.0
categorized as a national
11:16.3
security concern.
11:18.7
The country's ICT department
11:20.3
earlier said the firms were
11:22.4
offering military personnel part-time
11:24.6
jobs as online analysts.
11:29.4
Ating armed forces po,
11:31.2
we take this thing seriously.
11:33.7
So we are checking on this
11:35.0
and of course, titignan po natin
11:36.9
kung gano'ng lalit, kung meron
11:38.9
man pong nalik na data, ano po
11:41.0
yung repercussions ng data
11:43.3
that they have been giving, kung meron
11:46.3
And we will be looking at
11:48.7
of course, their policies and regulations
11:50.8
kung saan po sila nagpo-fall under.
11:56.3
A Philippine regional police chief
11:58.9
admits the arrest of fugitive
12:00.9
televangelist Apolo Quiboloy
12:02.7
may be hampered by the pastor's
12:04.9
network of friends and deep resources.
12:10.4
Police Regional Office 11 Director
12:12.4
Brigadier General Alden Delvo
12:14.4
admits being friends with
12:16.1
Kingdom of Jesus Christ founder
12:19.6
Alam niyo ba kung ano yung birthday, kailangan birthday
12:21.6
ni Pastor Quiboloy? April 25, that's
12:23.9
coincides with my birthday.
12:25.8
And that is why makakilala kami.
12:27.8
There were times also that I don't celebrate
12:29.9
my birthday at home. I just
12:31.8
celebrate it with him.
12:34.1
This is the kingdom niya.
12:35.5
But he says their friendship will not
12:37.8
hinder authorities' manhunt for
12:39.9
the fugitive pastor.
12:41.8
Quiboloy has a warrant of arrest for
12:43.7
sexual and child abuse issued by the
12:46.1
Davao Regional Trial Court.
12:48.1
Being a policeman, being a regional
12:50.1
director, I'm just a professional. I'm just doing
12:52.0
my job. I have his warrant.
12:54.5
Wala mang kaming raso sa isa't
12:56.2
isa. Maybe he has
12:59.8
answer in the courts of law.
13:02.7
But I'm just doing my job.
13:06.1
I will really exert effort in finding
13:08.1
him and putting him
13:09.6
to, and bringing him
13:11.7
to the courts, no?
13:16.1
issued the warrant.
13:17.8
Delvo spoke after authorities
13:20.0
visited the properties of Quiboloy
13:22.0
in Davao to serve the Senate's
13:24.0
arrest order for failing to attend
13:26.0
the committee hearings on the child
13:27.7
and sexual abuse complaints against
13:31.9
Sergeant-at-Arms, led by Director
13:33.9
Manuel Parlade, together with
13:36.0
the PNP and the National Bureau of
13:37.9
Investigation, Southern Mindanao Region,
13:40.6
tried to serve the order
13:41.9
in the Prayer Mountain in Barangay
13:44.0
Tamayong, Davao City,
13:46.1
in Glory Mountain, also
13:48.0
in Barangay Tamayong,
13:49.7
and a resort in Samal Island,
13:52.3
Davao del Norte, allegedly
13:54.1
owned by Apollo Quiboloy.
13:56.1
But authorities came up empty-handed.
13:59.0
The arrest warrant was
14:00.1
instead received by Quiboloy's lawyer,
14:02.3
Attorney Israelito Torreon.
14:04.6
When asked what makes finding
14:06.2
Quiboloy difficult for the authorities,
14:08.8
Delvo said Quiboloy
14:10.2
is a high-profile individual
14:11.7
with many friends and lots of
14:16.0
added they need exact information
14:18.3
before conducting police operations
14:20.3
to find Quiboloy.
14:22.5
We could not just do
14:24.4
any police operation
14:26.4
but to pass out with
14:27.5
although we are ready
14:31.2
there are students there,
14:34.2
matraumatized for us
14:38.0
biting there, and without us
14:44.9
Delvo is hoping that the
14:46.0
Quiboloy will surrender before
14:47.5
April 25, their birthday,
14:50.3
which could also be the police chief's
14:52.3
retirement. Quiboloy recently
14:54.3
released an audio statement
14:55.8
saying he was not in hiding and that he
14:58.0
wanted protection from extradition
14:59.9
as he also had pending cases
15:02.3
in the United States.
15:04.2
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has assured
15:06.3
Quiboloy that all proceedings
15:08.2
in his child and sexual
15:10.1
abuse cases would be fair.
