Acts of reprisal involving the use of force are bared under international law.

We have a shared responsibility to secure an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza,

the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages, and unimpeded delivery of humanitarian aid.

The Philippine government moving to secure the release of four Filipino seafarers

aboard a Portuguese cargo ship hijacked by Iranian forces Saturday.

Iran's Revolutionary Guards reportedly seized the MSC Ares vessel near the Strait of Hormuz for its alleged links to Israel.

The Philippine Migrant Workers Department meanwhile assures the public the four Filipinos are safe and sound

and no harassment issues have been reported.

These are illegal people, they didn't alguna low off board from the vessel and will be safe and sound for the entire ship journey.

They are safe and sound and will remain safe in the case of the end of the 예�omaj�ины.

But in spite of that, we still ask that they communicate,

especially their relatives.

This is a difference, let's say between the situation of Somali, Ouhti rebels and others.

The Iranian government engaged inテ demos on boats.

Iran. May embahaga tayo

In other news, President Ferdinand

Marquez Jr. expressing confidence

the recently concluded

trilateral summit between Manila,

Washington, and Tokyo will

improve the situation in the region.

Beijing's maritime aggression

was front and center during

the historic event where the three

nations expressing solid commitment

to ensure freedom of navigation

in the West Philippine Sea.

We explored ways

of enhancing our cooperation in a number

of areas of mutual concern,

including in enhancing

economic resilience and security,

promoting inclusive growth and

development, addressing climate

change, and maritime cooperation.

I emphasize that

trilateral cooperation between the U.S.,

Japan, and the Philippines is a

natural progression of the strong

relations between close

allies.

Aside from defense,

the Philippines also bagged investment

pledges from the summit. America

and Japan committed billions of

pesos worth of investments covering

the sectors of communication,

semiconductor, and nuclear

energy. The U.S. International

Development Finance Corporation

also pouring in $20 million

for housing projects in the

country.

I'm confident that

our collaborative efforts will pave the way for the future.

Together, we can harness the power of

Transport groups

Piston and Manibela staging

another two-day transport strike

in protest of the government's

PV modernization program.

The groups are demanding that transport

officials reconsider their decision,

to implement the April 30

consolidation deadline.

At least 20,000 drivers

and operators are expected to join

the strike. But authorities assure

commuters, the government is

prepared for the strike.

We have already

submitted the inventory of assets

of all government agencies and

NGOs. So far,

I think we have a sufficient number

of

bases,

bands,

if there are those who monitor

harassment or

harassing drivers

to join the strike,

they will immediately

throw it on the ground.

Our policemen

are also prepositioned.

The Office of Transportation

Cooperatives claims

78% of operators

in the country have already consolidated.

But Manibela doubts

the accuracy of this data.

Manibela says,

regarding the percentage,

after the report of LTFRB

from our president

last December,

for us to reach 60-65%

is already a good number.

For us to reach 78%,

definitely it's a very good number

for us to go ahead

with this program.

What they said before,

it's only 3% that they can't consolidate.

You know, it's changing.

If there's no consolidation,

you really don't have the right data.

You're lying.

The ban on e-trikes

and e-bikes

and similar vehicles on major roads

in Metro Manila begins today,

April 15.

The Metro Manila Development Authority

reminds owners of such vehicles

that those found violating the regulation

will face a P2,500 fine.

Vehicles without licenses

or registration documents, meanwhile,

will be impounded.

The MMDA, however, says

those caught Monday and Tuesday

will only be issued a warning

with strict implementation

set to begin on Wednesday, April 17.

Now here's a look at other stories

we're tracking today.

We will monitor President Marcos' activities

for the day.

At 9 in the morning,

he will attend the launching

of the Energy Sector,

Emergency Operations Center

and Mobile Energy System.

While at 2 in the afternoon,

Marcos will grace journalist group

FOCAP's Presidential Forum.

And at 3 p.m.,

he will attend another tourism event

at Pasay City.

We will also keep tabs

on the transport strike happening today

as well as the start of the implementation

of the ban on e-bikes

and e-trikes on national roads.

Now let's get an update on the weather now

from Pag-asa Forecaster Veronica Torres.

Good morning, Veronica.

Good morning, Ms. Betina

and to all of our audience in ANC.

Currently,

easterlies is still affecting the country

so we're expecting hot and humid weather

throughout our archipelago.

For the weather condition

in Metro Manila

and the rest of the country,

we're expecting partly cloudy to cloudy skies

with chances of localized thunderstorms.

We don't have any gale-warning rays

over any part of the country

and we're not monitoring

any of the weather conditions

in the region.

So we're expecting

partly cloudy to cloudy skies

with chances of localized thunderstorms.

We're also expecting

any low-pressure area

or tropical cyclone

near or inside

the Philippine area of responsibility.

Yesterday's temperature range

for Metro Manila

is from 24.5 to 35.9 degrees Celsius.

And that's the latest

from Pag-asa Weather Forecasting Center,

Veronica C. Torres.

Thank you very much

for that update, Veronica.

Well, how are you?

Are you all right?

How are you?

We'll see you next time.

We'll be back soon.

Take care.

Have a nice day.

Have a nice day.

Have a nice day.

Have a nice day.

Take care.

Have a nice day.

Have a nice day.

Have a nice day.

Have a nice day.

And I hope things will return to normal

for you next time.

Thank you, Veronica.

Thank you.

I think that job creation is sustained, not just simply job creation in terms of number, but also in terms of quality, in terms of decent work, in terms of occupational safety and health, in terms of collective bargaining agreements, in terms of better working conditions, and inclusive workplace environments.

I think the best way that the government can support our young workforce is to find ways and opportunities to incentivize companies, no?

To invest in different...

Philippines, not just foreign companies, but also our domestic companies, local companies and industries, especially enterprise startups that are actually put up by young entrepreneurs and conscientious and socially responsible employers.

That's how we start creating jobs.

What do you think Congress failed to do at that time in order for the country to avoid?

Having a broken transport system.

With what is happening on the ground, with what is happening in the West Philippine Sea, our fishing and being driven away from their traditional fishing grounds, this doesn't add up.

How is this affecting the morale of the force?

Tell us, what is it about the system there that really allows this impunity to exist?

Is the Philippine government entirely powerless in this situation?

Your no-nonsense, no-time news fix on ESC.

Dateline Philippines with Carmina Constantino.

Weekdays at 12 noon, only on ESC.

We'll be right back.

Welcome back to The Rundown. The headlines across the web. Inquires Banner Story online. Majority of residents in the Bangsamoro region vote for the creation of eight new towns from the 63 villages in North Cotabato.

Philippine stars top story. The Philippine Agriculture Department has allocated 500 million pesos to provide fuel subsidies for fishers and farmers in the country amid the continuous rise in pump prices.

In Manila Bulletin's headline, state volcanologists record a four-minute phreatic eruption at the Al Volcano over the weekend.

And topping GMA News website, former President Rodrigo Duterte once again hitting his successor. He says President Marcos should be content with a six-year term amid charter change efforts.

Sydney knife attacker. Six killed after a stabbing incident in a mall in Sydney.

In Sydney Saturday, five of the six victims were women while eight others, including a nine-month-old baby, were taken to hospital with stab wounds.

Police say the assailant, identified as 40-year-old Joel Kauchi, had mental health issues in the past, ruling out terrorists' motive in the attack.

Australia, a country of about 26 million people, has some of the world's toughest gun and knife laws, and attacks such as the one on Saturday are rare.

The individual stories of those who've been killed, the complete strangers rushing in to help, as well as acts of courage and bravery,

mean that whether you know the individuals who've been killed or not, you're grieving today.

And the entire state will have to get behind those families in the days ahead as they recover and they go through the inevitable grief associated with such a horrifying, horrifying event.

My message is, let's come together. We'll recover. It's going to be a very difficult...

few days, and those families no doubt have gone through hell, but there's 8 million people in this state that are behind them.

Everybody's grieving as a result of this, and they're not alone.

At least 14 people have been killed in landslides on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi.

Rescue efforts are still ongoing for those reported missing.

Landslides triggered by heavy rains affected two villages in the mountainous region.

of Tana, Toraja, about 300 kilometers from the provincial capital, Makasar.

Floods and landslides killed at least 26 people on Indonesia's Sumatra Island last month,

with torrential rains destroying hundreds of homes and displacing thousands.

Now let's find out what stories our North America Bureau is pursuing right now from our Bureau Chief, TJ Manotok.

Good morning to our friends at The Rundown.

I'm TJ Manotok. Here are the headlines in the North American region.

Today we mark a historic moment.

We begin with a historic event in Washington, D.C., the first joint summit between the United States, the Philippines, and Japan

amid growing tensions with China following repeated confrontations between Chinese and Philippine vessels

in the disputed waterway in the South China Sea.

The United States' defense commitments to Japan and to the Philippines are ironclad.

They're ironclad.

As I've said before,

the attack on Philippine aircraft, vessels, or armed forces in the South China Sea would invoke our mutual defense treaty.

We meet today as friends and partners bound by a shared vision and pursuit of a peaceful, stable, and prosperous Indo-Pacific.

It is a partnership born not out of convenience nor of expediency,

but as a natural progression of a deepening relation and robust cooperation amongst our three countries.

At the trilateral summit, the United States, Japan, and the Philippines announced new joint naval exercises and new economic cooperation measures.

Biden told Marcos Jr. that Manila's partnership with Washington and Tokyo would result in more jobs and more investments for Filipinos.

Philippines is not for sale!

Philippine-American activists and their supporters took to the streets in Washington, D.C.

to condemn what they call an increased U.S. militarization in the Philippines.

This was part of a...

...National Day of Action led by Bayan USA in Portland, Seattle, Honolulu, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.

Protesters believe this trilateral summit will lead to more war and militarism in the Asia-Pacific region

as tensions rise in the South China Sea over disputed territories.

The U.S. government talks about bringing economic growth, prosperity, clean energy, and peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region,

but we know this is a guise for more war and militarism in the Asia-Pacific region

and also an opportunity to...

...perpetuate unequal economic and military agreements.

The war and increasing tensions between China and the United States

is bringing the Philippines closer and closer to being on the crosshairs of war.

Pumili ka!

Di na ako papayag!

Mawalakan mo na!

And finally, in 2022, award-winning filmmaker Ramona Diaz documented the Philippine presidential elections

and focused on the Filipinos,

who risked it all in their fight for democracy and hope for a better Philippines.

And So It Begins premiered at Sundance in January

and will have its Osage's premiere in May.

And So It Begins continues a story started by Diaz in 2020's Peabody-winning documentary, A Thousand Cuts.

The film highlights the hope, heartbreak, bravery, and challenges faced by Filipinos

during the 2022 presidential elections between Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and Lenny Robredo.

It was overwhelming to capture it, and we captured a lot.

So even the putting it together was also overwhelming.

VP Lenny always says, she didn't know, they didn't know whether it would be a lonely campaign.

They thought it would be a lonely campaign, and then people just started showing up in numbers.

And you can see this is the end to something or just the beginning.

And that's why we also called it And So It Begins.

We wanted to lean in on the hope.

The documentary also features 2021 Nobel Peace Prize awardee Maria Ressa,

who has advocated for truth in journalism for years.

And So It Begins will be one of the top-billed,

offerings at the 40th VC Film Festival in Los Angeles on May 2nd.

And those are the top stories making the headlines in the North American region.

I'm TJ Manato, back to your friends at the Rundown.

Filipino athletes competing in this year's Summer Games

will have a chance to win a gold medal.

The Philippines Olympic Committee says

the athletes will stay at a state-of-the-art sports facility

in the northeast city of Metz from June 22 to July 22.

POC President Abraham Tolentino says

this is crucial for the Pinoy Olympians

to acclimate to local conditions and terrain

with the same equipment that will be used in the competition.

The POC also plans to send a chef

to focus on the nutritional requirements of Pinoy.

So far, nine Filipinos have booked their tickets to Paris

with several more vying to be added in the list.

And before we go, a dystopian thriller and a comedy drama

about a Sasquatch family are coming to cinemas.

Our resident movie critic Manny the Movie Guy

tells us what he thinks.

Nineteen states have seceded.

A nation at war with itself.

The White House issued warnings to the Western forces.

United States no longer united.

The President assures the uprising.

It's serious and it's dangerous.

Alex Garland, the guy who gave us Ex Machina and Anahilation,

turns his sights on America in disarray.

Citizens of America.

We learned that the President, played by Nick Offerman,

is in his third term.

The FBI has been abolished.

California and Texas have seceded.

Florida is in cahoots.

America is in shambles.

We see all this through the eyes of journalists led by Lee.

The wonderful Kirsten Dunst.

Joel, the reporter, played by Wagner Mura.

Veteran journalist Sammy, played by Stephen McKinley Henderson.

And the newbie Jesse, played by Priscilla's Kaylee Spaney.

Like, why didn't I just tell him not?

Like a deranged road trip movie, we follow the group

as they go to D.C. to interview the President.

It shook me when I first saw it.

It's still embedded in this war zone.

It's viscerally arresting and doesn't blame red or blue states.

It's neither anti-MAGA or anti-woke.

You don't know what side they're fighting for.

This I know.

Civil War makes us confront the sad reality that when democracy dies, anarchy lives.

And for that, Civil War gets three and a half out of four God bless America kisses.

Also in theaters, Sasquatch Sunset, shot like a nature documentary.

Follow a family of Sasquatch as they navigate life over a period of one year.

There's Jesse Eisenberg as the beta Bigfoot.

Riley Keough as Mama Bigfoot.

Kristoff Zajac Denek as her baby Bigfoot.

And Nathan Zellner, who's also one of the directors, as the alpha Bigfoot.

We've loved Bigfoot since we were kids.

From the Zellner brothers, Sasquatch Sunset is funny, raunchy, heartfelt, and poignant.

From the committed actors to its affecting storyline, Sasquatch Sunset will make you laugh and think and perhaps respect nature at the same time.

One of the most inventive and original films I've seen in quite a long time.

That's so kind. Thank you.

And for that, Sasquatch Sunset gets three and a half out of four Primal Instinct kisses.
