00:48 President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. says Friday, November 24, the return of the Philippines

00:52 to the International Criminal Court is "under study"

00:56 In a media interview, Marcos says the government will just keep looking at the issue and see

01:01 what the options are

01:02 Marcos also says it is not right for foreigners to dictate who will be investigated within

01:07 the Philippines

01:08 Justice Secretary Boeng Remulya earlier said the Philippine government's cooperation with

01:12 the ICC needs serious study

01:15 Solicitor General Menarto Guevara earlier maintained the Philippines is not legally

01:19 obliged to cooperate with the ICC

01:22 In contrast, the Supreme Court said the Philippines is obliged to cooperate with the ICC

01:27 The decision on whether the government will cooperate with the ICC lies with President Marcos

01:32 In an exclusive interview with Rappler, former Senator Laila de Lima calls former President

01:39 Rodrigo Duterte's positioning as opposition "pathetic"

01:42 And then here is Duterte now offering himself to be the opposition

01:48 It's pathetic to me. It's a pathetic scene to me

01:53 In his television program on November 8, Duterte said an opposition is essential to a democracy,

01:58 adding mistakes of their government should be called out

02:01 But Duterte's words were inconsistent with how he treated dissenters during his term

02:06 who were frequently red-tagged, killed, or detained like de Lima

02:10 During the interview, de Lima also says she's not thinking about the politics, but that

02:14 she does have a role to play

02:16 But I do have a role. And my role is to continue portraying myself as someone who has been

02:25 wronged and someone who can continue to inspire others to do what is right, to do what is just

02:36 The Sandigan Bayan convicts Andal Ampatuan Jr. of over 21 counts of corruption on Thursday,

02:43 November 23

02:45 The Anti-Graft Court finds the former Dato'n Sai town mayor guilty of graft related to

02:50 anomalous procurement and ghost delivery of fuel for infrastructure projects in Maguindanao

02:55 in 2008

02:56 Ampatuan is sentenced to up to 10 years of imprisonment for each count, with perpetual

03:01 disqualification from holding public post

03:04 The former mayor is also ordered to pay the Maguindanao province P44.18 million, subject

03:09 to 6% annual interest, until paid in full

03:13 The Sandigan Bayan's verdict came on the 14th year of the commemoration of the Ampatuan

03:17 massacre, where 58 people were killed, including 32 journalists

03:22 Andal, along with his brothers Zaldi and Anwar Jr., were found guilty of 57 counts of murder

03:27 over the gruesome massacre

03:31 The stabbing of three young children sparks a night of rioting in Dublin's city center,

03:35 leaving Irish police guarding looted stores and firefighters cooling down smoldering vehicles

03:40 Police blame far-right agitators for starting the violence

03:44 A small group of anti-immigrant protesters arrived at the scene of the stabbing along

03:48 O'Connell Street and clashed with the police

03:51 It took officers several hours to regain control after the crowd grew to around 200 to 300

03:56 people

03:57 The Dublin Fire Brigade says firefighters continued to damp down a smoldering tram on

04:02 O'Connell Street

04:03 Public transport has resumed but with restrictions in the area

04:07 A 5-year-old girl was receiving emergency treatment after sustaining serious injuries

04:11 in the stabbing

04:13 Police arrested a man in his late 40s, also being treated for serious injuries, and say

04:17 they were not looking for any other suspects

04:20 Police say they have not ruled out any motive, including potential terrorist links

04:26 The Aklan Provincial Government relaxes restrictions for tourists coming to Boracay, lifting the

04:31 hotel voucher requirement for entry to the world-famous resort island

04:35 This means hotels and lodging houses can now charge walk-in fees

04:40 The development comes after the business community expressed alarm over the low number of foreign

04:44 tourists

04:45 Boracay Foundation, Inc. President Edwin Raimundo says the lack of foreign tourists coming to

04:51 Boracay translates to lack of economic opportunities

04:54 Raimundo says the hotel voucher system is an added burden that turns off foreign tourists

04:59 1.8 million tourists visited Boracay in 2023

05:04 1.43 million were domestic tourists, 35,668 were overseas Filipino workers, and only 357,066

05:13 were foreign tourists

05:15 The 2023 figure shows there were 680,000 fewer foreign tourists than in 2019

05:23 Organizers of the Brazilian leg of Taylor Swift's The Eras Tour acknowledges they could

05:27 have taken more measures to help fans cope with extreme heat last week in Rio de Janeiro

05:31 T4F's statement follows a last-minute postponement of Swift's Rio performance last Saturday,

05:37 November 18, due to record-breaking heat

05:39 23-year-old Ana Clara Benavides, a fan, died in sweltering conditions during Swift's concert

05:46 a day earlier

05:47 The extreme heat led the US pop star to postpone her concert Saturday, just two hours before

05:52 she was to go onstage

05:54 The heat index, which combines temperature and humidity, hit 59.3 degrees Celsius in

05:59 Rio on November 17, before peaking at a record 59.7 degrees Celsius the following day

06:05 Swift is set to conclude the Brazilian leg of her tour with three sold-out concerts in

06:10 Sao Paulo from November 24 to 26, which are also organized by T4F

06:15 Weather forecasters say those days are set to be cloudy, rainy, and have milder temperatures

06:22 Elijah Canlas admits he and actress Moussa Ocampo have gone their separate ways

06:27 In a clip posted by News 5 Thursday, November 23, the actor shares he and Miles went through

06:32 a rough patch recently as they both faced personal problems

06:36 He says while things have been difficult between the two of them, they are figuring things

06:40 out

06:41 He then admits they had already broken up a couple months ago but are on good terms

06:45 with each other

06:46 Elijah shares he's always going to love Miles and he's always going to support her in whatever

06:50 she does
