02:47.8
and we have allowed more transportation to come out.
02:52.1
That's going to prove to be better for demand.
02:55.1
If we do follow the health protocols, the ability of people to move around,
03:00.0
we are going to be better to move.
04:30.0
The greatest disruptor of all time is actually COVID-19.
04:55.6
Because of limited mobility, people are also not being able to go to physical,
05:01.0
It further accelerated the adoption of consumers.
05:04.7
Philox started really as a mom and pop company.
05:07.1
And in 1980, it started with two carpenters in the backyard.
05:11.4
Up to now, we still use the traditional techniques of wood manufacturing.
05:16.0
What I'm most proud of is that at the core of the DNA of Philox,
05:20.9
it's really about highlighting Filipino craftsmanship.
05:23.8
We strive for international standards in terms of design and services.
05:28.2
So that's our goal, right?
05:30.0
International level, in terms of product and design, and service,
05:34.9
but still maintaining the Filipino world.
05:37.4
Did you ever dream you'd ever be on television, your own TV show?
05:39.8
Oh my gosh, I wanted to be a DJ when I was a teenager.
05:45.1
I was just really pleasantly surprised to get the call from someone in ABS and saying,
05:50.6
you know what, we have this show in the pipeline and we want you to co-host it in Anton Barreto.
05:56.2
Are you enjoying it? Do you like it?
05:58.8
Simply because it's something I'm passionate about, interior.
06:02.3
So I get to meet different interior designers, I get to meet architects,
06:06.9
I get to meet clients who are passionate about design,
06:09.1
and I understand the manufacturing side of it.
06:11.6
It's like a parallel work to me.
06:19.3
We have covered the journey of our young democracy.
06:22.2
In ANC, we were witnesses to the defining moments of Philippine history
06:27.4
that tend to awaken.
06:35.4
Sa pag-healing food sa bangsa.
06:43.9
This is the Philippines.
07:01.2
I'm Bettina Magsaysay.
07:02.6
Join me as we give you the rundown of the news you need to know today.
07:06.4
The jury in Donald Trump's historic criminal trial takes shape with seven New Yorkers selected.
07:14.4
The Philippine Justice Department orders a probe on the call of a House lawmaker
07:19.3
for state forces to withdraw support for the president.
07:22.7
And the U.S. and the European Union moving to expand sanctions
07:28.8
on Iran after its unprecedented attack on Israel.
07:35.2
Welcome to the program.
07:37.2
Donald Trump banked in a Manhattan courtroom for the second day of his hush money trial.
07:42.9
The jury taking shape with seven people selected,
07:46.0
including an investment banker, a high school teacher, and a woman from Harlem.
07:51.3
A panel of 12 New Yorkers and six alternates will ultimately be chosen
07:56.5
before leaving the court.
07:58.8
Trump again slammed Judge Juan Merchan and blamed the Biden administration
08:03.4
for his legal troubles.
08:06.3
He's a conflicted judge.
08:08.0
As you know, we're in appeal.
08:11.4
There's never been a judge more conflicted than this one.
08:15.3
So we'll see how that all works out.
08:17.5
We're having a hard time.
08:19.3
We're having a hard time with the New York state system.
08:22.3
It's under watch by the whole world.
08:24.8
And it's not looking very good.
08:26.9
So we think we have a...
08:28.8
A very conflicted, highly conflicted judge.
08:31.1
He shouldn't be on the case.
08:32.4
And he's rushing this trial.
08:34.8
And he's doing as much as he can for the Democrats.
08:37.6
This is a Biden-inspired witch hunt.
08:41.2
And it should end.
08:42.1
And it should end very quickly.
08:44.9
The trial will resume on Thursday.
08:47.7
Trump faces 34 felony counts of falsifying business records
08:51.6
to cover up a hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels
08:55.9
shortly before the 2016 election.
08:58.8
He has pleaded not guilty and denies an encounter took place.
09:03.0
The hush money case is the one of four criminal prosecutions Trump faces.
09:07.8
But the other three may not go to trial before the election.
09:15.2
Meanwhile, Donald Trump's historic trial draws mixed reactions
09:18.9
from Filipino-Americans and the U.S.
09:21.6
Outside the New York criminal court building,
09:24.8
Trump supporters and critics face off to express their stand
09:28.8
for the former American president's trial.
09:33.0
Well, they can do what they want,
09:34.9
but eventually, he will be acquitted.
09:39.0
The Almighty is with him.
09:42.0
You cannot persecute a man for doing what he allegedly did.
09:48.2
Nobody was killed, nobody was harmed, nobody was prejudiced.
09:52.1
So, why should they do that to him?
09:54.6
I'm not sure that the hush money will rise to a level as a felony,
09:58.8
you know, I would like it to because if I have to endure
10:03.4
four more years of Donald Trump, like bigotry, hate speech,
10:08.0
tax breaks for the wealthy, money for endless wars.
10:15.4
As Trump sits in the courtroom, U.S. President Joe Biden
10:18.9
kicked off a multi-city tour of the battleground state of Pennsylvania.
10:23.8
It included a stop in his hometown of Scranton,
10:26.7
where he pointed out,
10:28.8
there is a stark difference between him and Trump,
10:31.0
painting his rival as an elitist and him as an average American at heart.
10:35.6
Biden made a case for raising taxes for the rich
10:38.6
to fund his administration's social projects.
10:41.6
Biden has proposed a 25% minimum tax rate for billionaires.
10:48.2
You know, people like Donald Trump learned very different lessons.
10:51.6
He learned the best way to get rich is inheritance.
10:58.8
He learned that paying taxes was something people who work for a living did, not him.
11:03.5
He learned that telling people you're fired was something to laugh about.
11:07.6
I guess that's how you look at the world when you're in Park Avenue or Mar-a-Lago.
11:12.2
But if you grew up in a place like Scranton, nobody handed you anything.
11:16.8
You paid your taxes.
11:18.5
You made sure being told you're fired wasn't entertainment.
11:22.1
It was a nightmare that people worried about.
11:28.8
With 19 electoral votes and voters who swing between backing Democrats and Republicans,
11:34.4
Pennsylvania is a top prize in the 2024 U.S. presidential elections.
11:42.4
Back here at home, the Justice Department orders an investigation
11:45.8
into the call of House lawmaker Pantaleon Alvarez for the military and the police
11:51.3
to withdraw their support for the president.
11:53.8
Vivian Gulia reports.
11:58.8
We draw your support to the chief executive.
12:03.5
This call from Davao del Norte 1st District Representative Pantaleon Alvarez
12:07.8
will be the subject of an investigation ordered by Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulia.
12:13.3
Remulia says the probe will determine whether the lawmaker's remark
12:16.6
has risen to the level of the crimes of sedition, inciting to sedition or rebellion.
12:22.1
Philippine law defines sedition as rising publicly and tumultuously
12:26.1
to, among others, prevent the government from committing a crime of sedition.
12:28.4
to, among others, prevent the government from committing a crime of sedition.
12:28.8
or a government official from performing their duties.
12:32.4
Rebellion, meanwhile, is rising publicly and taking arms against the government.
12:37.4
But Alvarez defended his remarks, denying it falls under these crimes.
12:41.9
He stressed that his call was for a peaceful withdrawal of support,
12:45.8
adding that it was protected by freedom of speech.
12:48.9
Alvarez, who is an ally of former President Rodrigo Duterte,
12:52.4
issued the call to the armed forces of the Philippines
12:54.6
in a rally in Tagum City last Sunday, expressing concerns,
12:58.8
that President Marcos Jr.'s policies in the West Philippine Sea
13:02.1
risk further escalating tensions with China.
13:05.6
We do not want war.
13:07.4
Dahil ang daming erwisyo, maraming buhay na mawawala.
13:12.9
Okay naman ako, imbestigahan, kasi alam naman natin yung elements ng crime,
13:17.9
ng sedition at saka ng rebellion.
13:20.5
Pag binasa natin yung crime ng sedition, talagang nakalagay doon na may kakibat na yung violence.
13:28.8
Wala namang violence na nangyari.
13:30.7
Inciting to sedition, ako nanindigan pa rin na walang gano'n.
13:37.8
Nasa Bilo Brachan, patisably assembled, and petitioned the government for a test of grievances.
13:44.0
House leaders also condemned Alvarez's remark,
13:46.9
which they say undermined the stability of the government and the rule of law.
13:50.6
House Majority Leader Manuel Jose Manix de Lipe called for legal action against Alvarez,
13:56.6
while Cagayan de Oro, 2nd District Representative,
13:58.8
Rufus Rodriguez believes such statement could trigger an ethics complaint against his fellow lawmaker from Mindanao.
14:05.5
I'd call for, especially from an elected official in the House of Representatives,
14:11.1
to be calling for withdrawal of support.
14:13.7
That is really rebellion.
14:15.5
That is really seditious that they will withdraw support to our incumbent president,
14:20.8
who has demanded of the people to govern our country as president.
14:24.1
If others are minded, then that can be a basis for a complaint.
14:28.8
Alvarez maintains he did nothing that constitutes disorderly conduct under the rules of the House of Representatives.
14:37.0
Under the House rules, the House may, upon the recommendation of the Committee on Ethics,
14:41.8
punish its members for any violation of the Code of Conduct and for disorderly behavior.
14:47.2
The former House Speaker expressed readiness to respond should complaints be filed against him.
14:52.1
The option of the House of Representatives is that we have the option.
14:58.8
The House Ethics Committee, we will not just respond if there is a complaint.
15:05.3
Alvarez appealed for understanding if anybody was hurt by his remark, but he stands by his statement.
15:11.4
If there are injuries, it's not a problem.
15:14.9
But to say that I made a mistake in what I said, I didn't make a mistake.
15:19.5
That's what I really want to say.
15:21.2
The Philippine Navy has directed the 9th Marine Brigade to conduct an investigation and ask Alvarez, a Marine Reservist,
15:28.2
to explain the statement he issued.
15:30.8
The Navy took exception to Alvarez's remark and reiterated its support and loyalty to the Constitution,
15:36.7
the chain of command, and the President as the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.
15:41.7

Another swarm of Chinese vessels spotted in the West Philippine Sea.
15:51.5
The Philippine Navy says 55 Chinese vessels were seen Monday afternoon
15:55.6
near Philippine-occupied islands and features.
15:58.2
That's an increase from the 46 Chinese ships spotted in the West Philippine Sea on April 10.
16:05.7
The Navy says it is currently sending rotation and resupply missions to eight West Philippine Sea features.
16:12.1
It is still planning a resupply mission to the Ayungin Shoal, where the BRP Sierra Madre serves as its outpost.

Singapore Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan sat down with his Philippine counterpart Enrique Manalo Tuesday
16:34.4
to discuss developments in the region and the bilateral relations of the two countries.
16:40.4
Balakrishnan asserts all parties involved must adhere to international law.
16:45.6
He also believes there is a need for a code of conduct between ASEAN and China in the South China Sea.
16:53.8
Singapore has been watching recent developments in the South China Sea.
16:58.2
Singapore has been watching recent developments in the South China Sea.
16:58.8
We hope that all parties will maintain open channels of communication,
17:03.8
will preserve regional peace and stability,
17:08.8
and ensure adherence to international law,
17:13.4
including especially 1982 UNCLOS, the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea.
17:19.0
The Code of Conduct will not resolve issues of sovereignty or issues of maritime entitlement,
17:26.5
but it is important.
17:28.2
Nevertheless, because we believe it is one way to reduce tension.
17:35.0
Manalo meanwhile refutes Beijing's claims Manila has been violating its commitments in the West Philippine Sea.
17:41.8
China has insisted Manila reneged on some of its promises,
17:45.6
including towing away the rusting BRP Sierra Madre in Ayungin Shoal.
17:50.9
We've always said that the Philippines in our dispute or in our approach to the issues in the West Philippines,
17:58.2
has always, always adhered to the rule of law.
18:02.0
And in this, in particular, the UNCLOS and the Arbitral Award of 2016.
18:06.6
So I'm, it's, in fact, I think it's China which refuses to adhere to the Arbitral Award.
18:12.1
So I'm not very clear what they mean by saying that we're not adhering to commitments.
18:20.7
Now here's a look at other stories we're tracking today.
18:23.6
At 9 in the morning, a Philippine Coast Guard spokesperson for the West Philippine Sea,

19:28.2
It's a very heavy snowstorm in the geography of the U.S.
19:32.0
It's a very heavy snowstorm in the geography of the U.S.
19:33.1
and it's still causing relatively humid temperature over many parts of northern and central Luon.
19:41.4
Here in Metro Manila, we will be expecting at least 40 degrees Celsius of heat index.
19:48.3
So Pag-asa is advising extreme caution for the general public
19:53.1
because it can cause heat crops and heat exhaustion.
19:56.8
That's the latest.
19:58.2
Thank you very much for that update, Lori.
20:28.2
Thank you very much.
20:58.2
Thank you very much.
21:28.2
Thank you very much.
21:58.2
This is where newsmakers answer to you.
22:00.8
It's just confidential.
22:02.1
You can't bring it out to the public, but go ahead and flag them.
22:05.1
We will ask what we did with the budget and how we spent it.
22:07.8
Our commitment to the Philippines stands on its own.
22:11.2
It's not about any third country.
22:13.3
It's not about China.
22:15.2
This is where headlines are made.
22:17.2
We need two things.
22:18.6
One, you need to grow the economy rapidly.
22:21.3
Number two, you have to make that growth more inclusive.
22:25.2
I also didn't have faith in Duterte.
22:27.9
Because he was my persecutor.
22:30.3
But I have faith in the justice system.
22:33.4
This is where we do the news.
22:36.1
The future of the Philippines, the security of the Philippines,
22:40.0
the well-being of Filipinos is important to us as allies.

22:47.5
Malaysia should not be known because of these various past scandals.

A senior lawmaker insists Israel is not interested in a full-scale war with Iran.
25:12.3
Yuli Edelstein, head of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, says when Israel responds to Iran's unprecedented drone and missile strike over the weekend, its aim will be to send a message of deterrence to Tehran.
25:26.6
Any response to Iran's attacks will be agreed upon by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his war cabinet.
25:34.0
We'll have to react. Iranians will know that we reacted.
25:39.7
And I sincerely hope that it will teach them a lesson that you can't attack a sovereign country just because you find it doable.
25:48.8
I sincerely hope that they will understand that it's not in their interest to continue this kind of exchange of blows.
26:00.3
We are not interested in a full-scale war.
26:04.0
As I've said, in the business of revenge, we have to make it clear that the Iranians can decide that now, every week, they will be able to launch missiles or send drones and it will pass on note.
26:20.9
The launch of hundreds of pilotless kamikaze drones and missiles on Saturday night marked the first direct assault on Israel by Iran.
26:30.6
Most of the threats were downed by Israel, the U.S.
26:34.0
The U.S. has targeted more than 500 Iranian individuals and entities connected to terrorism and terrorist financing since the start of the Biden administration.
26:59.5
U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen says,
27:04.0
the sanctions could seek to reduce Iran's capacity to export oil.
27:08.4
Some EU member states have also asked for an expansion of existing sanctions against Iran.
27:16.7
The idea is to expand the existing Iran-Russia-related drone regime.
27:25.9
To expand it in two directions.
27:29.5
The direction of the kind of arms,
27:32.8
in order to include Iran,
27:34.0
in order to include the possibility of sanctions for providing missiles, not only drones.
27:41.8
By the time being, there is not evidence at all that Iran has been supplying missiles to Russia to attack Ukraine.
27:54.4
But we could expand this regime in order to include these possibilities.
28:00.5
And the second one is an expansion of the regime.
28:04.0
The regional dimension of the framework.
28:07.5
In order for this regime could be also applied to the deliveries from Iran to proxies in the Middle East.
28:24.0
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reveals a lack of air defense missiles prevented Ukraine from thwarting a Russian strike last week
28:33.0

It is believed this is not a serious demonstration against Ukraine.
28:38.7
The plants were still buffered,
28:40.8
and it had to do with a child and a child.
29:03.5
that our allies cannot provide us with this or that weapon
29:06.6
or they cannot be in Ukraine with this or that force
29:10.0
because that would be perceived as if Ukraine is engaging NATO in the war.
29:15.0
Well, after yesterday's attack, I want to ask you a question.
29:19.6
Is Israel part of NATO or not?
29:22.1
Here's the answer.
29:23.7
Israel is not a NATO country.
29:26.7
The NATO allies, including NATO countries, have been defending Israel.
29:30.6
They showed the Iranian forces that Israel was not alone.
29:36.2
And this is a lesson.
29:38.6
This is a response to anyone on any continent who says you need to assist Ukraine very carefully
29:45.0
so that you don't engage NATO countries in the war.
29:52.3

ABS-CBN's Hollywood correspondent,
31:00.4
sat down with director Zack Snyder
31:02.7
to talk about his highly anticipated sequel,
31:05.9
Rebel Moon Part 2, The Scargiver.

Just like Part 1, which came out last December,
31:24.6
Zack Snyder is the film's writer, director,
31:26.9
as well as producer and cinematographer.
31:29.3
I'm really looking forward to having you.
31:30.4
I want my viewers to be able to go
31:32.1
and go back and see movie 1 again
31:34.4
and go straight into movie 2
31:35.6
and really have that
31:37.0
almost like you're binging a giant TV series
31:39.4
and really come out the other end
31:41.5
having like been on this insane journey.
