00:12The Ombudsman orders the preventive suspension of Bamban Mayor Alice Guo and two others.

00:19Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky meets President Marcos in Malacanang.

00:23Followers of Apollo Kibloy deny he is hiding in Kitbug, Sarangani.

00:28President Marcos signs into law a bill granting teachers up to P10,000 supply allowance per

00:33year.

00:34And P-POP girl group BINI announces activities for its third debut anniversary.

00:40The Office of the Ombudsman orders the preventive suspension of Bamban Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo

00:45and two others for grave misconduct, serious dishonesty, gross neglect of duty, and conduct

00:51prejudicial to the best interest of the service.

00:53The complaint was filed by the Department of Interior and local government.

00:57The three are suspended without pay during the period of the probe until its completion,

01:02but will not exceed six months.

01:04The Ombudsman finds sufficient grounds to suspend the three because there is strong

01:08evidence of their guilt.

01:10It adds the complaints may warrant their removal from the service, and their continued stay

01:13in office may prejudice the investigation of the case filed against them.

01:18The DILG earlier said its complaint against Guo falls under the Anti-Graft and Corrupt

01:22Practices Act or Republic Act 3019, but the graft complaint was not mentioned in the Ombudsman's

01:28order that called for Guo's suspension.

01:32President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. welcomes Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to Malacanang

01:37on Monday, June 3, a historic meeting expected to catch the attention of Russia and China.

01:42I know that the crisis in your country has occupied all of your attention and all of

01:50your time, and it is a great pleasure to meet with you to discuss some of the issues

01:58that are common to our two countries.

01:59Thank you so much for your big word and clear position about us, about this Russian occupation

02:08of our territories.

02:11The meeting lasted only an hour, with Zelensky departing the Philippines by noon.

02:15Following the meeting, Zelensky thanked Marcos for confirming Manila's attendance at the

02:19Ukraine Peace Summit in Switzerland on June 15-16.

02:25Followers of fugitive preacher Apollo Kiboloy deny he is hiding in Kitbog, Malungon in Sarangani.

02:31Kitbog, located in the Sok Sarjan region, is seen as a potential hideout of Kiboloy,

02:35who is wanted for child abuse, sexual abuse of a minor, and human trafficking cases.

02:41Kathleen Lorente, a legal representative of Kiboloy's Kingdom of Jesus Christ, says

02:45they, quote, have no idea where he is.

02:48This despite a Malungon resident saying a black helicopter believed to be that of Kiboloy's

02:53hovered and landed in Kitbog on May 4, but no one could confirm whether Kiboloy was on

02:58board.

02:59Lorente says Kitbog has always been special to Kiboloy because it is where the pastor

03:03realized God's calling and where his preaching ministry began in the 1970s.

03:09Kiboloy continues to evade arrest orders issued by two regional trial courts, including another

03:13from the Senate.

03:17President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. signs into law a bill seeking to grant up to P10,000

03:22in teaching supply allowance to Filipino teachers annually.

03:25Under Republic Act 11997 or the Kabalikat sa Pagtuturo Act, public school teachers in

03:31the basic education curriculum will receive P5,000 in teaching allowance for the upcoming

03:36school year 2024-2025.

03:39The allowance will increase to P10,000 beginning school year 2025-2026 and will remain that

03:45way for succeeding school years.

03:48It will not be subject to tax so teachers will be able to take home the allowance in

03:52full.

03:53With the passage of this law, we are easing some of the burden that you carry each day.

03:59The measure has 115 principal authors in the House and 13 authors in the Senate.

04:06P-POP girl group BINI commemorates its upcoming third debut anniversary with a series of activities.

04:12In a video, BINI members Joanna, Maloy, Stacey, Aya, Colette, Gwen, Mika, and Sheena share

04:18preparations for their anniversary.

04:21BINI will be launching an official website where fans can stay up to date on the group's

04:25activities, including exclusive content, live streaming for the group's events, and a merchandise
