00:59.7
will take place for the first time outside the Philippine territorial waters.
01:05.0
Raya Capulong has tonight's top story.
01:09.4
China remains committed to resolving maritime disputes with other countries
01:14.3
through dialogue but will not allow itself to be abused.
01:18.5
That's according to a top Chinese military official
01:21.2
at a meeting of senior foreign naval officials in the port city of Qingdao on Monday.
01:27.3
Zhang Yuxia, Vice Chairman,
01:29.7
of the Central Military Commission and China's second-highest-ranking military official says,
01:36.0
the sea should not be an arena where countries can flex their military force.
01:42.8
As President Xi Jinping has pointed out,
01:45.5
the Pacific Ocean is large enough to accommodate all countries of the Pacific.
01:50.1
The ocean should not be an arena for countries to show off their force
01:53.6
and engage in gunboat diplomacy,
01:56.0
but rather a big stage for peaceful coexistence
01:58.7
and the promotion of common interests.
02:02.9
Zhang's comments were spoken during the opening ceremony
02:06.3
of the Western Pacific Naval Symposium
02:08.8
with an apparent reference to growing tensions in the South China Sea.
02:14.4
The event overlaps with the annual U.S.-Philippines large-scale joint military drills,
02:20.1
also known as Balikatan,
02:22.1
which begin on Monday and will be held outside Philippine territorial waters for the first time.
02:28.7
A.F.P. Chief of Staff General Romeo Browner, Jr.
02:32.5
and U.S. Marine Corps Pacific Commander Lieutenant General William Cherney
02:36.7
led the opening ceremony at Camp Aguinaldo.
02:40.6
Since 1991, this is the second-largest Balikatan in terms of participants.
02:46.2
11,000 American soldiers and 5,000 from the Armed Forces of the Philippines
02:51.0
are set to engage in military exercises and drills.
02:55.0
250 troops from Australia and France will also participate,
02:58.7
in command and control and field training exercises,
03:02.7
as well as humanitarian civic assistance.
03:06.0
There will also be observers from 14 countries in South, East, and Southeast Asia,
03:12.9
Europe, Oceania, or the South Pacific.
03:16.2
Some of these members of the Group 7 or G7.
03:20.7
This exercise represents the essence of unity,
03:26.3
collective responsibility,
03:28.7
and enduring partnership between the Republic of the Philippines
03:32.9
and the United States of America and our partners.
03:38.9
It is not a partnership of convenience,
03:43.5
but rather a clear reflection of our shared history,
03:50.1
unwavering commitment to democracy,
03:52.0
and respect for international law
03:55.4
in our pursuit of peace and security,
03:58.7
in the Indo-Pacific region.
04:01.3
We're building military readiness throughout the full range,
04:06.0
the full range of combined and joint operations here.
04:09.3
Balikatan 24 gives us the opportunity to demonstrate advanced,
04:13.7
multi-domain, cross-functional combined operations.
04:17.4
The training this year is focused on defending the territory of the Philippines
04:21.8
against external threats.
04:24.1
For the first time, the combat drills will extend beyond the 12,000 people.
04:28.7
The military has been working hard to maintain the security of the Philippines.
04:30.7
The military has been working hard to maintain the security of the Philippines.
04:31.5
The military has been working hard to maintain the security of the Philippines.
04:31.7
This includes the multilateral maritime exercise.
04:36.2
In addition to the warships of the Philippines and America,
04:39.5
the French Navy will also sail to the extent of 200 nautical miles
04:43.8
into the exclusive economic zone of the country.
04:47.3
And for the first time as well,
04:49.6
the Philippine Coast Guard will participate sending six of its ships
04:53.6
to Palawan and Northern Luzon.
04:55.5
We will make sure that there is no...
04:58.7
There will be many firsts in the history of Balikatan this year.
05:08.6
For the first time, combat drills will be conducted in Batanes
05:12.1
as well as the integrated air defense missile training
05:15.3
using the spider missile system from Israel
05:18.1
to defend the country against missile and drone attacks.
05:22.0
Also for the first time,
05:23.9
actual missiles will be fired from the BRP Antonio Luna
05:27.2
to sink an old fighter jet.
05:28.7
There will be a simulation exercise involving reclaiming an island
05:34.9
that is supposedly occupied by the enemy.
05:38.4
The AFP sees no problem with the upcoming combat exercises
05:42.2
should Chinese ships make their presence felt in the West Philippine Sea.
05:47.5
Just last week, there were reports of two Chinese ships
05:50.6
being spotted within close proximity of 30 nautical miles
05:54.5
from the Palawan mainland a day before the start of Balikatan.
05:58.7
I cannot confirm or deny it,
06:02.8
but surely I would say that we would expect some presence of the Chinese side
06:09.5
also because they have built their structures in these areas.
06:13.3
The Balikatan exercises will last until May 10.
06:17.9
Raya Kapulong, ABS-CBN News.
06:21.4
The governor of the northern Philippine province of Cagayan
06:25.1
says he is ready to resign
06:27.1
if the alleged infighting of the Chinese ships is not stopped.
06:27.6
If the alleged infighting of the Chinese ships is not stopped,
06:27.6
he is ready to resign if the alleged infighting of the Chinese ships is not stopped.
06:27.7
If the alleged infighting of the Chinese ships is not stopped,
06:28.7
he is ready to resign if the alleged infighting of the Chinese ships is not stopped.
06:28.7
The influx of Chinese students in his province
06:30.8
is proven to be a national security threat.
06:34.4
Congress is pushing for a probe to determine
06:36.7
if the surge in Chinese nationals there is linked to espionage.
06:41.7
Michael Delizo reports.
06:45.4
Officials of Cagayan province and Tuguegarao city
06:48.0
shielded Chinese students in the province
06:50.0
from security threat allegations and questions about their identity.
06:54.2
They see nothing wrong with the choice of Chinese nationals
06:56.6
to study at St. Paul University
06:59.7
which is about two-hour travel
07:01.1
from declared EDCA sites.
07:02.5
In Paul, we are not racist.
07:04.9
We hate xenophobia here.
07:07.8
And we are not here.
07:09.3
We have not been coming to anyone.
07:11.8
We are used to the Chinese here.
07:16.3
Because since the 14th century,
07:18.9
we are already with us.
07:20.1
Based on records,
07:21.4
there are at least 486 foreigners
07:23.1
studying at St. Paul,
07:24.7
the lone academic institution
07:26.2
that is catering to foreign students
07:28.5
That's contrary to earlier reports
07:30.7
that there are about 4,600 Chinese students
07:33.3
in a single university in the province.
07:35.6
The number of 486 students
07:37.3
also includes other nationalities
07:39.2
and not just Chinese.
07:41.0
According to the Commission on Higher Education,
07:43.8
St. Paul has been granted authority
07:45.6
by the Bureau of Immigration
07:46.8
to accept foreign students.
07:49.1
When Presidente BBM went to China,
07:53.3
they signed agreements
07:57.3
to have a conversation
07:58.5
with the Chinese government
07:59.5
to discuss the issue.
07:59.5
The Chinese government
07:59.7
has not yet identified
08:02.0
the Cagayan as EDCA site.
08:04.9
Cagayan Governor Manuel Mamba says
08:07.1
there are no police complaints
08:08.7
against Chinese nationals
08:11.3
It means have more useful
08:12.7
relationship with all
08:14.2
for foreigners here.
08:16.2
In a joint statement earlier,
08:17.7
the universities and colleges
08:18.8
in Cagayan also denied allegations
08:20.9
that students are buying off diplomas.
08:23.9
Mayor Tinque says
08:24.9
she has never sponsored
08:26.3
the study of foreigners.
08:29.7
So unfair doing that.
08:33.0
who have spent decades
08:34.9
and keeps building their reputations.
08:39.4
Several groups also condemned
08:41.0
the allegations against Chinese nationals.
08:43.4
Civic leader and Chinese Filipino figure
08:45.2
Teresita Angsi cried foul
08:47.0
over suggestions that Chinese students
08:49.4
may be involved in espionage,
08:51.3
adding that xenophobia and racism
08:53.0
are both dangerous and unfortunate.
08:57.3
try to study with our councils,
09:00.5
suing these people
09:01.8
who have hundreds of millions
09:04.2
of intelligence funds.
09:06.5
May staff na napakalaki
09:07.9
para mag-research.
09:09.5
Para maglabas lang ng kasinungalingan.
09:11.9
Mga walang hiya sila.
09:13.1
Some lawmakers, however,
09:14.2
want the investigation to push through
09:16.1
saying the increasing number
09:17.5
of Chinese students in Cagayan
09:19.0
can already be considered
09:20.6
a national security concern
09:22.1
given the maritime row
09:23.7
between Manila and Beijing.
09:25.3
They've been trying to project
09:27.3
It's a center of learning and education.
09:30.3
So, let's have an investigation
09:33.6
whether this is really true or not
09:36.7
because come to think of it,
09:39.7
is this a mere coincidence?
09:42.8
I'm not saying the Chinese
09:43.9
is the enemy here.
09:46.0
There are Chinese tourists
09:49.6
There are Chinese businessmen
09:52.1
that we welcome as well.
09:53.4
But those Chinese who come here
09:57.3
questionable motives,
09:59.6
siguro dapat tingnan natin mabuti yan.
10:02.2
The local government says
10:03.5
they are ready to face the investigation.
10:06.1
We are preparing all the documents
10:08.6
to show the people
10:12.0
that allegations contained in that solution
10:26.4
The film is called,
10:27.3
The Philippine Vice President
10:28.4
is unapologetic for any ill feelings
10:30.6
she may have caused
10:32.2
Lisa Araneta Marcos.
10:33.9
Sara Duterte says
10:34.8
she'd prefer to focus
10:36.2
on the nation's more pressing issues.
10:39.0
Joyce Balancio tells us more.
10:43.7
Vice President Sara Duterte
10:45.2
insists that the sentiments
10:46.7
of First Lady Lisa Marcos
10:48.3
have nothing to do with her mandate
10:50.2
as a government official.
10:52.2
This is her response
10:53.2
following the admission
10:54.3
of the First Lady
10:55.2
of her ill feelings
10:56.7
towards her family.
10:57.1
In an exclusive interview
10:58.9
with Anthony Taberna recently,
11:03.4
by VP Duterte's reaction
11:05.1
when President Marcos Jr.
11:07.1
was accused of being a drug addict
11:10.3
former President Rodrigo Duterte
11:12.1
in a Davao rally.
11:14.3
When she went to Davao,
11:17.5
oh, bangag, bangag, diba?
11:19.1
Imagine a former president
11:20.6
calling, ano, bangag.
11:23.4
I mean, wow, you're six years,
11:25.5
why would you call, ano, bangag?
11:27.1
So, and then the camera
11:30.9
panned on her, tumatawa.
11:33.5
So, syempre, nakita ko,
11:34.6
sabi ko, wow, man,
11:35.9
I mean, masakit yan.
11:37.5
Budshot na yan sa akin.
11:39.4
Unless she says sorry
11:43.6
she crossed the line.
11:49.2
karapatan ni unang ginang
11:57.1
ang kanyang personal na damdamin
11:58.8
ay walang kinalaman
12:01.7
bilang isang opisyal
12:05.7
she will speak with
12:07.6
regarding the matter.
12:09.4
Upang makausad tayo,
12:12.3
sa isang pribadong pag-uusap
12:14.4
sa pagitan lamang namin
12:16.0
ni Pangulong Bongbong Marcos Jr.
12:18.9
ang mga susunod na hakbang.
12:20.7
The Vice President also insists
12:23.1
that the government
12:24.0
should instead focus
12:30.4
Patuloy ang pagtaas
12:31.5
ng presyo ng pagkain
12:32.6
at iba pang mga bilihin.
12:35.5
ay mas nagpapahirap pa
12:37.2
sa dinaranas na gutom
12:38.8
o kawalan ng sapat na pagkain
12:41.9
nating kababayan.
12:46.0
ng supply ng tubig
12:47.6
habang talamak na naman
12:49.8
ang ipinagbabawal
12:55.5
ang banta ng kriyente.
13:03.1
Manila Representative
13:05.0
took up the cudgels
13:06.0
for the First Lady,
13:07.4
saying her feelings
13:08.5
are not mere personal matters
13:10.0
that can be cast aside
13:11.5
as if they had no weight
13:15.7
the Vice President's
13:16.8
character and integrity
13:17.9
are now in serious question.
13:20.5
A political analyst,
13:22.8
the Vice President's response
13:24.4
could only worsen
13:26.7
At the same time,
13:27.2
and the First Lady.
13:28.9
Yung sagot ni VP Duterte
13:31.2
parang incongruent
13:33.1
dun sa kung ano yung
13:36.2
sinasabi ni First Lady.
13:37.6
Hindi ina-address
13:43.8
nagiging high and mighty pa,
13:45.4
yung taking the moral
13:47.7
After the interview
13:48.7
with the First Lady
13:51.5
and President Marcos
13:53.4
the graduation ceremony
13:55.0
of the Philippine
13:56.0
National Police Academy.
13:58.2
The two sat beside
13:59.9
during the program
14:00.8
and were even seen
14:05.0
After the program,
14:07.5
if they had discussed
14:09.2
concerning the First Lady.
14:13.5
that his working relationship
14:16.3
remained the same
14:17.9
despite his complicated
14:27.5
with the First Lady.

15:05.5

Now it's going to become

and then Senator Benigno
15:52.2
and Laban parties
15:53.3
on February 6, 1983.
15:56.0
If they also want
16:01.6
they changed everything
16:07.3
That's not allowed.
16:11.7
The history of PDP-Laban

a pending case there.
16:34.6

It doesn't make sense
18:02.6
kasi then they will
18:06.1
they have to start

18:07.9
I thought it was foolish
18:08.9
that they are doing this
18:10.2
wala namang clear
18:15.8
Marcos at Duterte
18:32.8
kasi makakasaysayan

a China-related agenda

the world's fastest
25:30.3

25:33.7
The year, as you know,
25:36.2
has globally been
25:37.1
extremely unusual,
25:39.0
especially when compared
25:41.2
of the last few decades,
25:44.2
or even millennia.
25:46.4
So, some of the events
25:49.5
were very unusual.
25:50.1
Some of the events
25:52.1
took the scientific community
25:54.1
Because of their intensity,
25:56.1
their speed of onset,
26:07.1
Several Philippine Senators
26:11.1
by President Marcos Jr.
26:12.1
to relax the importation process
26:14.1
for agriculture products.
26:16.1
The President's order
26:17.1
aims to curb rising food prices
26:20.1
non-tariff barriers
26:21.1
that delay the entry
26:23.1
Senate Minority Leader
26:24.1
Coco Pimentel hopes
26:25.1
this is a temporary measure.
26:28.1
the ultimate goal
26:29.1
should be to increase
26:30.1
local food production.
26:32.1
Senator Nancy Binay
26:33.1
urged the Agriculture Department
26:35.1
to ensure any adjustments
26:36.1
to import regulations
26:41.1
the IBON Foundation's

26:44.1
Sunny Africa says
26:45.1
30 years of agriculture
26:49.1
Philippine food insecurity
26:51.1

26:55.1
A criminal complaint
26:57.1
Philippine Securities
26:58.1
and Exchange Commission
26:59.1
against the MFT Group
27:01.1
led by CEO Maria Francesca Tan,
27:06.1
and its officers and agents.
27:08.1
The complaint stems
27:09.1
from alleged unauthorized
27:11.1
solicitation of investments.
27:14.1
had solicited investments
27:16.1
for startup companies
27:18.1
a guaranteed return
27:20.1
ranging from 12 to 18% per annum.
27:25.1
post-dated checks
27:26.1
that were never paid.
27:27.1
The filing of criminal charges
27:29.1
came after the SEC
27:31.1
ordered the MFT Group
27:33.1
to stop its unregistered
27:35.1
investment solicitation activities.
27:39.1
Philippine investors

27:44.1
on the war in the Middle East.
27:46.1
The details in this report.
27:48.1
Thank you for watching.
28:18.1
While there has been
28:19.1
a flight to safety
28:22.1
that's very short-term I think
28:26.1
to the geopolitical risk
28:27.1
that's taking place
28:29.1
but for a more strategic
28:31.1
with a more strategic standpoint
28:33.1
I think the view is still
28:36.1
around trend growth
28:37.1
at least for the global economy
28:39.1
coming down of inflation
28:41.1
and easer monetary policy.
28:44.1
We think that at least
28:45.1
for the second quarter
28:46.1
it's going to be a range
28:47.1
between 6200, 6700
28:51.1
nothing too exciting.
28:54.1
In corporate stories
28:56.1
MegaWide further swings
28:57.1
to profitability.
28:58.1
It posted 269 million pesos
29:01.1
in profit in 2023
29:03.1
reversing the 1.9 billion peso
29:05.1
net loss the year before that.
29:08.1
Revenues climbed to 18 billion pesos
29:10.1
as Edgar Saavedra's construction firm
29:13.1
saw improvement across all segments.
29:17.1
In first quarter earnings
29:18.1
Atlas Mining's net income
29:19.1
climbed to half a billion pesos.
29:21.1
This was higher by 113%
29:26.1
Atlas says this was mainly due
29:27.1
to higher revenue
29:28.1
and improved milling output
29:30.1
from operations of its unit
29:37.1
The Philippine First couple admit
29:38.1
they recently had a craving
29:41.1

Christopher Luxon
29:44.1
for their choice.
29:46.1
by President Marcos Jr.
29:49.1
of their jolly Sunday dinner
29:51.1
and said this was inspired
29:53.1
to a popular fast food chain.
29:57.1
would not be jolly
30:00.1
to direct her concerns to Luxon.
30:02.1
Marcos earlier called Luxon
30:03.1
an honorary Filipino
30:06.1
that he and his family
30:07.1
enjoyed the fast food chain's
30:09.1
of chicken and spaghetti.
