00:12 Vice President Sato Duterte says allowing an ICC probe into the drug war is an insult
00:17 to Philippine courts.
00:19 Senator Bato Dela Rosa says he's very confident he can hurdle the ICC's probe if it happens.
00:25 A driver who sideswiped an Angka's rider and his passenger is slapped a show-cause order
00:29 by the LTO.
00:31 Israel says no hostages will be released before November 24.
00:35 Miss Universe organizers clarify the Top 5 graphics mix-up was an accident.
00:40 K-pop singer G-Dragon will take legal action against malicious posts related to his drug
00:45 investigation.
00:46 Anne Blackpink receives honorary awards from Britain's King Charles.
00:53 Vice President Sato Duterte says allowing the International Criminal Court to probe
00:57 the bloody drug war of her father, former President Rodrigo Duterte, would be an insult
01:01 to Philippine courts.
01:03 Duterte says the House should respect President Ferdinand Marcos' decision to shut the doors
01:07 on the ICC after the tribunal rejected the Philippine government's appeal against the
01:12 probe in July.
01:14 She adds the ICC no longer has jurisdiction over the Philippines upon the country's exit
01:18 from the Rome Statute in March 2019.
01:22 This is not true.
01:23 Article 127 of the ICC states that all proceedings prior to the withdrawal of a country remain
01:28 valid.
01:29 The Philippine Supreme Court says the country is obliged to cooperate with the ICC.
01:34 Duterte's statement on Thursday is the first time she spoke openly about the issue.
01:40 Senator Bato Dela Rosa expresses confidence he can hurdle the International Criminal Court
01:45 probe into the Rodrigo Duterte administration's bloody drug war.
01:49 Dela Rosa was the chief implementer of the campaign as chief of police.
01:53 In an interview with Teleradio Servicio, Dela Rosa wondered aloud why he would need to cooperate
01:58 with the ICC probe when the Marcos administration is reluctant to do so.
02:03 But he adds, "If the probe is there, I have no choice but to face it.
02:07 I am very confident that I will get through it if I will be a part of it."
02:11 Before the PNP, he served as Davao City Police Chief when Duterte was mayor.
02:16 The shadowy Davao death squad flourished under Duterte and was accused of implementing kill
02:20 orders from higher-ups that allegedly included Duterte.
02:24 The whistleblower had implicated Dela Rosa as among the alleged enablers of Duterte.
02:30 The Land Transportation Office issues a show-cause order against the driver of a sport utility
02:35 vehicle who sideswiped and injured an Angkas rider and his passenger.
02:39 The show-cause order is issued to 53-year-old Pedro Nefe Magalit III, the driver of the
02:44 SUV, and received on Thursday afternoon, November 23.
02:48 Dashcam footage shows Magalit, the driver of an orange Suzuki wagon, arguing with a
02:53 motorcycle taxi driver along EDSA on Wednesday morning, November 22.
02:57 A few seconds later, the SUV swerved and slammed into the motorcycle, throwing the motorcycle
03:02 driver and his passenger to the ground.
03:04 Magalit immediately sped off.
03:07 The order directs Magalit to explain why he should not be held liable for reckless driving,
03:11 duty of driver in case of accident, and improper person to operate a motor vehicle of RA No.
03:17 4136.
03:19 The show-cause order also places his driver's license and the registration of the Suzuki
03:23 wagon on preventive suspension for 90 days.
03:28 Israel's national security adviser says the release of hostages under a temporary truce
03:33 between Israel and militant group Hamas will not happen before Friday, November 24, thwarting
03:38 hopes of relatives that some would be freed on Thursday.
03:42 Both parties agreed to a four-day ceasefire to let in humanitarian aid and free at least
03:47 50 hostages in Gaza in exchange for at least 150 Palestinians jailed in Israel.
03:53 The starting time of the truce and release of hostages have yet to be officially announced.
03:58 Hours after the temporary truce, Pope Francis met separately with Israeli relatives of hostages
04:03 and Palestinians with family in Gaza, saying, "This is not war, this is terrorism."
04:09 The Pope asks for prayers so both sides would not, in the end, kill everyone.
04:14 As of Tuesday, November 21, Gaza Health Ministry says more than 14,000 Gazans have been killed,
04:20 around 40 percent of them children, while Israel says 1,200 people were killed and about
04:25 240 hostages were taken by Hamas on October 7.
04:30 Miss Universe organizers admit to and apologize for mixing up the names of its top five candidates
04:36 during the coronation night last Sunday, November 19, in El Salvador.
04:40 A now-deleted post from the Miss Universe El Salvador account initially included Philippines'
04:45 bet Michelle D as a top five candidate.
04:48 Immediately after deletion, D was replaced by Thailand's Antonia Porseld in the new official
04:53 post.
04:54 Porseld won first runner-up in the pageant.
04:57 And fans from the Philippines expressed disappointment over the error.
05:01 Online users accused the organization of allegedly rigging the results at the last minute.
05:06 In a post on Thursday, November 23, the organizers say it was, quote, "a simple error of moving
05:11 too fast."
05:12 D finished in the top 10 of the 72nd Miss Universe pageant, but many believe that her
05:17 performance merited a higher rank.
05:21 G-Dragon's lawyer announces the K-pop star's team would be taking legal action against
05:26 the malicious posts on the Big Bang member amid his illegal drug investigation.
05:30 In October 2023, Korean media reported G-Dragon, whose real name is Kwon Ji-yong, had been
05:36 booked without detention for allegedly violating the Narcotic Control Act.
05:40 A Soompi article says G-Dragon's legal team is in the process of rounding up evidence
05:45 of acts that violate Kwon Ji-yong's interests.
05:48 His lawyer says they will be responding to these acts with a zero-tolerance policy.
05:53 Prior to this development, G-Dragon's team also announced legal action against several
05:57 media outlets that reported false information on his case.
06:01 Since news of his alleged illegal drug use, G-Dragon personally denied the allegations.
06:06 He also vowed to diligently cooperate with the police's investigation efforts.
06:11 G-Dragon debuted with YG Entertainment K-pop boy group Big Bang in 2006.
06:18 King Charles presents K-pop girl group Blackpink with honorary member of the Order of the British
06:23 Empire medals in the presence of South Korean President Yun Suk-kyo during his state visit
06:28 to the United Kingdom.
06:30 At the ceremony, King Charles jokes with the girls and says he hopes he'll be able to see
06:34 them perform live someday.
06:36 Buckingham Palace says Blackpink received the MBEs in recognition of the band members'
06:40 role as COP26 advocates for the United Nations Climate Summit held in Glasgow in 2021.
06:47 Blackpink made history in July becoming the first K-pop group to headline a major UK music
06:52 festival.
06:53 The girls performed at the BST Hyde Park Summer Festival in central London in front of a crowd
06:58 of 65,000 for a sold-out concert.
07:01 Since their debut in 2016, Blackpink has become one of the most successful girl groups in
07:06 the world.
07:09 And that's today's wrap.
