01:07.1
He insists China remains committed to resolving maritime disputes through dialogue.
01:13.7
As President Xi Jinping has pointed out, the Pacific Ocean is large enough to accommodate all countries of the Pacific.
01:20.9
The ocean should not be an arena for countries to show off their force and engage in gunboat diplomacy.
01:27.3
But rather a big stage for peaceful coexistence and the promotion of common interest.
01:34.5
Zhang was addressing the 19th meeting of the Western Pacific Naval Symposium,
01:39.8
which gathered 180 senior Navy representatives from 29 countries.
01:45.3
Representatives from the U.S., U.K., France, Russia and Japan are among the attendees.
01:51.0
The Philippines was notably absent.
01:55.1
As far as I know,
01:56.8
China as a host of this symposium has extended the invitations to all member states and observer states.
02:03.7
We're not sure about the specific reasons why the Philippines is not attending the event.
02:09.0
However, I believe that with the joint efforts of all member states and observer states attending the meeting,
02:15.2
the symposium will definitely inject positive energy in promoting maritime security cooperation and mutual trust among the member states and observer states.
02:26.8
Maritime tensions between the Philippines and China have long been simmering.
02:30.9
And the Marcos administration's pivot back to Washington was not well received by Beijing.
02:38.8
You're here at home.
02:40.6
Over 16,000 Filipino and American troops kicked off their annual Balikatan exercises Monday.
02:47.0
This year's training focuses on defending the Philippine territory against external threats.
02:52.7
It includes naval exercises outside Manila's territorial waters.
02:56.8
In areas close to Taiwan.
02:59.5
Fourteen countries in Asia and Europe are also taking part as observers.
03:05.5
This exercise represents the essence of unity,
03:10.6
collective responsibility,
03:13.1
and enduring partnership between the Republic of the Philippines and the United States of America,
03:20.8
and our partners.
03:23.8
It is not a partnership of convenience.
03:25.8
It is not a partnership of convenience.
03:26.5
It is not a partnership of convenience.
03:27.5
But rather a clear reflection of our shared history,
03:33.5
unwavering commitment to democracy,
03:36.7
and respect for international law in our pursuit of peace and security in the Indo-Pacific region.
03:46.4
We're building military readiness throughout the full range,
03:50.4
the full range of combined and joint operations here.
03:53.4
Balikatan 24 gives us the opportunity to demonstrate the importance of peace and security in the Indo-Pacific region.
03:55.4
We're building military readiness throughout the full range, the full range of combined and joint operations here.
03:56.5
We're building military readiness throughout the full range, the full range of combined and joint operations here.
04:03.5
The Philippine Coast Guard is also participating in the exercises for the first time,
04:07.5
sending six of its ships to Palawan and northern Luzon.
04:11.5
The drills will run until May 10.
04:16.5
An analyst warns against the rebranding of the political party led by former President Rodrigo Duterte,
04:22.5
the Partido Democratico Pilipino, or PDP,
04:25.5
recently dropped the second part of its name, Laban,
04:28.5
which stands for the Lakas ng Bayan Party founded by the late Nino Yaquino.
04:33.5
Attorney Tony Lavinia sees the move as a way for the Duterte camp to distance the party from its roots.
04:44.5
I feel like they want to put aside the history of PDP-Laban,
04:51.5
because it's linked to Nino Yaquino, linked to Nene Pimentel.
04:57.5
They basically are saying, from now on, this is Duterte.
05:01.5
This is a Duterte party.
05:03.5
Because the truth is, Duterte is not part of that party.
05:07.5
He joined the party in the 2016 elections when he ran away.
05:13.5
Because that's the political party that is attacking him.
05:16.5
It doesn't make sense because then they will lose watchers.
05:19.5
They will not be accredited.
05:20.5
They will not be accredited.
05:21.5
They have to start accreditation again.
05:23.5
I thought it was foolish that they are doing this.
05:25.5
There is no clear reason.
05:29.5
Because it looks like the enemy today is Marcos and Duterte, right?
05:32.5
Not Duterte versus Dilawan.
05:37.5
Senator Coco Pimentel, who is the son of one of PDP-Laban's founders, also slams the move.
05:46.5
If they also want other parties,
05:50.5
because they changed everything in PDP-Laban,
05:54.5
why did they just form their own party?
05:57.5
That's not allowed.
05:58.5
There is no one who can hurt, there is no one who can hurt.
06:01.5
The history of PDP-Laban is a waste, so we will fight for it.
06:06.5
The legitimate PDP-Laban, original plus the true believers in the ideology of PDP-Laban,
06:15.5
we will continue the cause of PDP-Laban,
06:18.5
and we will fight even to the Supreme Court.
06:21.5
That's why we have a pending case there.
06:25.5
For the 2025 polls, the party announced the re-election bid
06:29.5
of Senators Francis Tolentino, Bongo, and Ronald de la Rosa.
06:36.5
Turning now to the strained ties between Vice President Sara Duterte
06:40.5
and First Lady Eliza Araneta Marcos.
06:43.5
The Vice President unapologetic for any ill feelings she may have caused
06:48.5
Joyce Valancho tells us more.
06:53.5
Vice President Sara Duterte insists that the sentiments of First Lady Eliza Marcos
06:58.5
have nothing to do with her mandate as a government official.
07:01.5
This is her response following the admission of the First Lady
07:05.5
of her ill feelings towards her in an exclusive interview with Anthony Taberna recently.
07:11.5
Eliza Marcos said she was hurt by VP Duterte's reaction when President Marcos Jr.
07:16.5
was accused of being a drug addict by her father,
07:19.5
former President Rodrigo Duterte, in a Davao rally.
07:23.5
When she went to Davao, Duterte said,
07:26.5
oh, bangag, bangag, diba?
07:28.5
Imagine a former president calling, ano, bangag.
07:32.5
I mean, wow, you're six years, why would you call, ano, bangag, diba?
07:37.5
So, and then the camera panned on her, tumatawa.
07:42.5
So, syempre nakita ko, sabi ko, wow, man.
07:47.5
Bloodshot na yun sa akin.
07:49.5
Unless she says sorry or whatever.
07:51.5
Maybe she will, maybe she, she crossed the line.
07:55.5
Mga kababayan, bilang tao, karapatan ni unang ginang Eliza Marcos
08:02.5
na makaramdam ng sama ng loob at galit.
08:05.5
Subalit, ang kanyang personal na damdamin ay walang kinalaman
08:10.5
sa aking mandato bilang isang opisyal ng pamahalaan.
08:15.5
she will speak with President Marcos regarding the matter.
08:18.5
Upang makausad tayo, iiwan na natin sa isang pribadong pag-uusap
08:24.5
sa pagitan lamang namin ni Pangulong Bongbong Marcos Jr. ang mga susunod na hakbang.
08:30.5
The Vice President also insists that the government should instead focus its attention
08:35.5
on problems and challenges that the country is facing.
08:39.5
Patuloy ang pagtaas ng presyo ng pagkain at iba pang mga bilihin.
08:44.5
At ito ay mas nagpapahirap pa sa dinaranas na gutom
08:48.5
o kawalan ng sapat na pagkain ng mahihirap nating kababayan.
08:53.5
Nagbabadya rin ang kakulangan ng supply ng tubig at kuryente
08:57.5
habang talamak na naman ang ipinagbabawal na droga.
09:02.5
Samantala, hindi pa rin natatapos ang banta ng kriminalidad,
09:07.5
terorismo, at insurhensiya sa ating bansa.
09:11.5
A lawmaker, Manila Rep. John Marcos,
09:13.5
nila Rep. Joel Chua took up the cudgels for the First Lady,
09:17.5
saying her feelings are not mere personal matters that can be cast aside
09:21.5
as if they had no weight nor importance.
09:24.5
He adds, the Vice President's character and integrity are now in serious question.
09:30.5
A political analyst, meanwhile, warns the Vice President's response
09:34.5
could only worsen the tensions between her and the First Lady.
09:38.5
Yung sagot ni VP Duterte ay parang incongruent.
09:42.5
Incongruent dun sa kung ano yung sinasabi ni First Lady.
09:47.5
Hindi ina-address yung grievance as they say.
09:51.5
Tapos tipong nagiging high and mighty pa yung taking the moral high ground.
09:57.5
After the interview with the First Lady was released,
10:00.5
VP Duterte and President Marcos both attended the graduation ceremony
10:04.5
of the Philippine National Police Academy on Friday.
10:07.5
The two sat beside each other during the program and were even seen,
10:12.5
conversing and laughing with each other.
10:15.5
After the program, the two declined to comment if they had discussed the matter
10:19.5
concerning the First Lady.
10:21.5
Last week, President Marcos clarified that his working relationship with VP Duterte
10:26.5
remained the same despite his complicated relationship with her family.
10:31.5
As of Monday, President Marcos has not given any statement or reaction
10:36.5
following the interview with the First Lady.
10:38.5
Joyce Balancho, ABS-CBN News.
10:42.5
Philippine Senator Riza Ontivero slams the police for failing to quickly revoke
10:48.5
the gun licenses of fugitive televangelist Apollo Quiboloy.
10:52.5
Ontivero says the police should be doing everything to arrest Quiboloy
10:56.5
if they truly plan to hold him accountable.
10:59.5
The senator called on the new national police chief to lead better
11:03.5
and quickly apprehend Quiboloy.
11:05.5
The Senate has an arrest order for Quiboloy for snubbing hearings
11:09.5
on his alleged abuses against his followers.
11:12.5
He is also wanted by local courts over charges of child abuse and human trafficking.
11:21.5
In other news, nearly two dozen parked vehicles at the Terminal 3
11:25.5
of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport caught fire Monday.
11:29.5
Airport authorities are still investigating the cause of the blaze,
11:33.5
but fire respondents believe this might have been a grass fire incident
11:37.5
worsened by the extreme heat.
11:39.5
No injuries were reported,
11:41.5
and flight operations were unaffected.
11:43.5
The Manila International Airport Authority,
11:45.5
now seeking accountability,
11:47.5
from the private company that occupies the parking space.
11:53.5
I asked him for his liability.
11:55.5
He said he would look for the course of the file
12:00.5
and then they would answer everything that happened.
12:04.5
I said, make sure what you will answer.
12:07.5
You can't tell us right now.
12:11.5
So that when people ask us,
12:13.5
we will say, you will pay.
12:17.5
Will you replace the burned vehicles?
12:20.5
You have to be very specific, I said.
12:22.5
I hope they will not leave things that can easily get burned.
12:26.5
don't leave things that might have rubbing alcohol,
12:29.5
that might be flammable.
12:31.5
That's the story of the fire department earlier.
12:37.5
all of those parking areas,
12:39.5
I said, can we remove those?
12:41.5
You are cleaning those,
12:43.5
you are cleaning those that are listed here,
12:46.5
the dried vehicles.
12:52.5
Now here is a look at other stories we're tracking today.

13:43.5
Let's now get an update on the weather
13:45.5
from PAG-ASA forecaster, Lori de la Cruz.
13:47.5
Good morning, Lori.
13:49.5

14:01.5
Samar, Northern Samar, Eastern Samar, Catanuanes,
14:04.5
Alpay, and Sorsogon due to east wind.
14:07.5
So, possible flash floods or landslides
14:10.5
can be experienced due to moderate to intense heavy rains.
14:15.5
For Metro Manila and the rest of the country,
14:17.5
we will generally have partly cloudy to cloudy skies
14:21.5
with little chance of rain showers or thunderstorms
14:25.5
in the afternoon or evening.

the U.S. is looking into alleged human rights abuses

More on that story after the break.

This is ANC's Rundown.

Welcome back to the Rundown.

17:36.1
Now, news overseas.
17:38.3
Prosecutors give their opening statement
17:40.4
in the hush money case of Donald Trump.
17:43.0
In the first ever criminal trial
17:45.0
of a former U.S. President,
17:47.3
Trump is charged with falsifying business records
17:50.1
to cover up a $130,000 payment
17:53.3
to adult actress Stormy Daniels in 2016
17:56.2
to keep quiet about a sexual encounter
17:59.5
a decade earlier.
18:01.3
Prosecutors portray the payment
18:02.9
as a criminal effort to deceive voters
18:05.4
at a time when the president's office
18:05.5
is not in a position to do so.
18:05.5
At a time when the president's office is not in a position to do so.
18:05.6
At a time when the president's office is not in a position to do so.
18:05.7
At a time when the president's office is not in a position to do so.
18:06.1
At a time when Trump was facing
18:07.6
other accusations of crude sexual behavior.
18:11.1
Trump's defense lawyers, meanwhile,
18:12.9
says the former president
18:14.8
committed no crime,
18:16.3
insisting there is nothing wrong
18:18.0
with trying to influence an election.
18:21.4
It's a case as to bookkeeping,
18:25.1
which is a very minor thing
18:27.5
in terms of the law,
18:28.6
in terms of all the violent crime
18:30.0
that's going on outside
18:31.1
as we speak, right outside as we speak.
18:36.1
where you pay a lawyer
18:43.6
That's the exact term they use,
18:45.4
legal expense, in the books.
18:49.4
The case is seen by many legal experts
18:51.9
as the least consequential
18:53.9
of Trump's four criminal prosecutions.
18:56.1
A guilty verdict would not
18:58.1
bar him from taking office,
19:00.2
but it could hurt his candidacy.
19:04.6
The United States
19:06.1
is looking into allegations
19:07.1
of human rights abuses
19:08.5
by Israel in Gaza.
19:10.7
Unveiling the State Department's
19:12.6
annual human rights report,
19:14.3
U.S. Secretary of State
19:15.6
Anthony Blinken denied Washington
19:17.8
has a double standard
19:19.2
when it comes to Israel
19:20.4
and human rights.
19:23.1
We apply the same standard
19:26.7
And that doesn't change
19:28.9
whether the country in question
19:34.2
And that's a matter
19:36.1
and that's usually important.
19:37.3
This is, I think,
19:41.2
that is very deliberate,
19:44.5
that seeks to get the facts,
19:47.3
to get all the information,
19:48.8
that has to be done carefully,
19:50.7
and that's exactly
19:52.9
as we proceed with any country
19:55.3
that is the recipient
19:56.7
of military assistance
19:58.2
from the United States.
20:00.9
Israeli Prime Minister
20:02.4
Benjamin Netanyahu
20:03.4
has vowed to fight sanctions
20:05.0
that will be imposed on Israel.
20:06.1
on Israeli military units
20:08.3
for alleged rights violation
20:10.2
after media reports said
20:12.2
Washington was planning
20:16.3
A delegation of U.S. lawmakers
20:20.0
to tout support for Ukraine
20:21.9
following the passage
20:23.1
of a long-delayed security package.
20:25.5
Republican and Democratic
20:27.6
also paid their respects
20:29.3
at the memory wall
20:31.1
of fallen defenders
20:32.1
after meeting with
20:33.5
Ukrainian President
20:34.4
Volodymyr Zelensky.
20:36.1
The U.S. House of Representatives
20:39.9
has passed $60 billion
20:42.5
to aid the people of Ukraine
20:44.7
in your fight against
20:46.1
illegal Russian aggression.
20:50.3
that as soon as this week,
20:52.0
the Senate will also pass this bill
20:53.5
and that the President
20:54.9
will sign it into law.
20:56.6
Now, you might have noticed
20:59.3
things don't happen
21:00.0
very quickly these days.
21:01.7
And that's unfortunate.
21:03.8
But the bipartisan spirit
21:06.8
we can get the job done.
21:08.3
But I always have felt
21:09.3
that the support for Ukraine
21:13.5
just working its way through
21:15.2
a Congress that is
21:16.9
having difficulty
21:18.5
getting its own budget on time.
21:20.4
Nothing specifically
21:24.2
It's more procedurally,
21:25.6
it was difficult,
21:26.8
but we got the job done
21:27.9
and we got it done together.
21:31.0
The legislation now proceeds
21:33.1
to the Democratic Majority Senate
21:36.7
more than two months ago.
21:38.7
Final passage is expected
21:40.1
sometime next week
21:41.3
which would clear the way
21:42.7
for President Joe Biden
21:44.0
to sign it into law.
21:47.5
And before we go,
21:49.0
one pub in London
21:49.9
is seeing an unprecedented surge
21:52.9
It had to turn away some.
21:56.1
Taylor Swift named
21:56.9
one of her new songs
22:01.6
was already revealed in March,
22:03.4
it was only last week
22:04.8
that it was confirmed
22:05.8
Taylor was referring
22:08.5
And there's only one thing
22:09.9
to do with Swift's Midas Touch,
22:12.0
capitalize on it.
22:13.5
The pub is riding
22:14.5
on its newfound fame
22:15.9
with a Swift burger
22:17.2
and Taylor's version cocktails.
22:21.5
Obviously been so nice to see.
22:23.6
We're a very cozy,
22:24.8
small neighborhood pub.
22:26.5
So something like this
22:27.4
happening is a dream.
22:28.8
You know, it's something
22:29.9
that money can't buy
22:31.0
and we're just so thankful
22:33.6
because they've just been amazing.
22:35.1
We've had reports,
22:35.7
reports of a certain blonde regular
22:37.2
but wouldn't want to give
22:41.6
Yeah, I can neither confirm
22:44.0
but I'm going to kind of confirm.
22:48.8
Taylor's new album
22:49.7
The Tortured Poets Department
22:51.3
is also breaking records
22:52.9
and becoming the most streamed album
22:55.7
on various streaming platforms.
