00:13House Speaker Martin Romualdez calls out the, quote, misuse of public funds seen as a jab

00:17at Vice President Sara Duterte.

00:20English rock band Duran Duran performs at President Marcos' birthday celebration.

00:25The Marcos administration's satisfaction rating is up by double digits.

00:29Donald Trump says he hates Taylor Swift.

00:32And Shogun, Hacks and the Bear win big at the 2024 Emmy Awards.

00:39House Speaker Martin Romualdez takes an apparent swipe at Vice President Sara Duterte as he

00:44opens plenary debates on the proposed 2025 national budget.

00:48We cannot ignore the reality that there are those who seek to undermine our work, critics

00:56who speak of accountability while conveniently ignoring their own misuse of public funds.

01:03Let us be clear.

01:06This chamber will not tolerate hypocrisy, nor will it stand idle in the face of such

01:12blatant disregard of public trust.

01:16Romualdez doesn't say Duterte's name.

01:19But just a few days ago, his key allies criticized the VP for refusing to answer questions on

01:24her confidential expenses and for snubbing a budget panel hearing.

01:28ACT Teacher's Representative Franz Castro earlier said Duterte may have committed an

01:32impeachable offense by her alleged misuse of public funds.

01:37English pop rock band Duran Duran performs live at President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s private

01:42birthday party Friday, September 13.

01:45The Presidential Communications Office confirms this in a press release sent to the media

01:50the next day, September 14.

01:52The PCO says the band's performance was a surprise for Marcos, who attended the party

01:56organized by his friends at a hotel in Pasay City late Friday.

02:01It's the last item on the PCO's list of Marcos' activities on his birthday.

02:05When asked, the PCO admits it made the press release a, quote, reaction to a vlogger's

02:10Facebook post about the band's appearance at Marcos' party.

02:14The agency says Duran Duran's engagement came at no cost to the government.

02:18It gave no further details.

02:21The latest survey by Pollster SWS shows public satisfaction with the Marcos administration

02:27rose by 10 percentage points in the second quarter of 2024.

02:3162 percent of the 1,500 respondents surveyed nationwide in June say they were satisfied

02:36with the government's performance.

02:38Only 52 percent said the same in March.

02:41Meanwhile, 22 percent say they were dissatisfied, not much different from the 23 percent in

02:46March.

02:47Undecided respondents dropped eight percentage points in June.

02:51This means the Marcos administration got a net satisfaction rating of plus 40 in the

02:55second quarter, which SWS qualifies as good.

02:59That's up from the moderate plus 29 in the first quarter.

03:02The government scored highest in helping victims of disasters, improving the quality of children's

03:07education, and helping the poor.

03:11Republican U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump says he hates singer Taylor Swift days

03:16after she endorsed his Democratic opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris.

03:20In a post on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump says,

03:24I hate Taylor Swift.

03:26Swift's endorsement has drawn over 9 million likes on Instagram, fueling speculation it

03:30could boost Harris' chances of winning.

03:33Trump initially dismissed the endorsement, saying he was not a Taylor fan.

03:37Meantime, the Federal Bureau of Investigation says Trump is safe after what appears to be

03:42a second assassination attempt at the West Palm Beach Gulf Force in Florida.

03:47Officials say Secret Service agents fired on a gunman who dropped an AK-47-style assault

03:52rifle.

03:53He was arrested after fleeing the scene.

03:55The New York Times and Fox News identified the suspect as 58-year-old Hawaii resident

04:00Ryan Wesley Routh.

04:02The FBI has declined to comment on the suspect's identity.

04:07Historical epic Shogun wins the prestigious Best Drama Award at the 2024 Emmy Awards,

04:12and Hacks beats the bear for Best Comedy.

04:15Shogun, a sweeping story about political machinations in 17th-century Japan, also win

04:36comedy series for fan-favorite The Bear.
