00:38Brigadier General Aligre L. Martinez, the Regional Director of the Philippine National

00:42Police or PNP in Davao Region, is relieved from his post.

00:47A well-informed source from Camp Grame confirms the development to Newsline Philippines, citing

00:51a special order.

00:53Philippine's Brigadier General Nicolas De Loso Torre will replace Martinez as the Regional

00:58Director.

00:59General Martinez is being reassigned to the Police Holding and Accounting Unit, or PHAU,

01:04under the Directorate for Personnel and Records Management, or DPRM.

01:09Martinez was installed as Region XI Regional Director on April 25, replacing Brigadier

01:14General Alden Delvo, who retired from service.

01:17The source reveals General Martinez' relief is connected to the June 10 raids conducted

01:22on the ongoing legal proceedings against fugitive Pastor Apollo Quiboloy.

01:28The Department of Migrant Workers, or DMW, is revisiting its policy on seafarers traversing

01:33high-risk areas after a Filipino seafarer goes missing in the Red Sea.

01:38This, after an Iranian-backed Houthi unmanned surface vessel struck bulk carrier MV Tudor.

01:44Migrant Workers Secretary Hans Kakdak confirms the vessel had 22 crew members who were predominantly

01:50Filipino.

01:51Kakdak says they are still trying to find the seafarer but adds he saw the rest of the

01:55crew on video chat.

01:57Two Filipino seafarers were earlier reported killed in a Houthi attack on MV True Confidence.

02:03The Southern Red Sea is on the list of high-risk and warlike zones.

02:07When an area is classified as such, Filipino seafarers have the right to refuse sailing.

02:12If they choose to sail, they are given double compensation, among other benefits.

02:16We have strongly urged ship owners to divert.

02:19A majority of voyages have been diverted, not passing through the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.

02:27Group of seven, or G7, leaders hold their final day of talks at the annual summit, with

02:31China topping the agenda.

02:33Pope Francis also puts in a historic appearance to discuss artificial intelligence.

02:39During the first day, the G7 nations agreed to provide $50 billion in loans to Ukraine,

02:44with cash expected to reach Kyiv by the end of the year.

02:47German Chancellor Olaf Scholz says it's a clear signal to the Russian President Vladimir

02:52Putin that he can't just sit this out.

02:55On the last day, leaders are expected to voice concerns about China and its support for Russia,

03:00as well as its increasingly aggressive stance against Taiwan and run-ins with the Philippines

03:04over maritime claims.

03:06While the US imposed fresh sanctions on Chinese firms supplying semiconductors to Russia,

03:12P-Pop is anxious to avoid an all-out trade war with Beijing.

03:17Stel of P-Pop group SB19 releases his solo debut single, Room, Friday, June 14.

03:24He is the last of the members to launch a solo project.

03:32Described as funk-pop with hypnotic lyricism, Stel says the song is a, quote,

03:36manifesto to celebrate one's authenticity.

03:39Rad Kids, the same producer for SB19's songs, is the composer and producer of the song.

03:45The music video is also released Friday, featuring Filipino drag queen Tita Baby.

03:57Stel is set to perform with pop singer Eric Santos in a United States and Canada tour

04:02starting June 22, and hold a concert with singer and co-coach in The Voice Generation's

04:07Julianne San Jose.

04:10More than 70,000 fans at Taylor Swift's concert in Scotland caused earthquake readings

04:15miles away from the concert venue in Edinburgh.

04:18The British Geological Survey says Thursday, June 13, Swifty's dancing led to seismic

04:24activity being recorded at the earthquake monitoring stations six kilometres away from

04:29the venue.

04:30The seismic activities every night followed a similar pattern.

04:33The songs Ready For It, Cruel Summer, and Champagne Problems resulted in the most significant

04:38seismic activity.

04:40Previous performances in Seattle and Los Angeles also registered similar seismic activity.

04:46The Seattle show generated activity equivalent to a 2.3-magnitude earthquake.

04:51Swift's The Heiress Tour is the world's highest-grossing concert tour.
