00:12Vice President Sara Duterte says getting dumped in love hurts more than being impeached.

00:17The Facebook pages of four pro-Duterte personalities are inaccessible.

00:22President Donald Trump says Israel will hand over Gaza to the U.S. with no U.S. troops

00:26needed on the ground.

00:28Barbie Shoes' husband Ku John Yap promises to protect her children from an earlier marriage.

00:33And K-pop girl group NUGENES changes its name.

00:51Vice President Sara Duterte has this to say when asked about her impeachment.

00:56She opens her press conference Friday, February 7, with a brief statement.

01:15The VP appears calm and unfazed, completely different from the Sara Duterte who cursed,

01:19ranted, and threatened in a midnight virtual press conference in November 2024.

01:24Asked if she had already spoken to her father, former President Rodrigo Duterte, she says

01:28her father said,

01:29"...everything will be alright."

01:31The vice president's impeachment is based on allegations of betrayal of public trust,

01:35culpable violation of the constitution, bribery, graft and corruption, and other high crimes,

01:39following a resolution fast-tracked by 215 lawmakers.

01:43After transmittal, the Senate will now serve as an impeachment trial court.

01:49The Facebook pages of at least four pro-Duterte personalities are inaccessible as of Friday,

01:54February 7.

01:55Several Facebook users on Thursday night, February 6, noticed that the pages of the

01:59following personalities were unavailable on the platform.

02:03The URLs of the listed Facebook pages display the message,

02:06This content isn't available right now.

02:08The reason for the unavailability remains unclear, but Facebook's parent company, Meta,

02:12typically removes pages for violating its community standard or after reports from other

02:17users.

02:18Sassasot, Chrisette Chu, and Lorraine Badoi had been in the news for avoiding a February

02:224 hearing on online disinformation.

02:24This is not the first time Sassasot and Badoi's pages were taken down.

02:28Some pro-Duterte Facebook users blamed the Marcos administration for allegedly taking

02:32down the pages.

02:34This after the public fallout between Vice President Sara Duterte and President Ferdinand

02:38Marcos Jr. that built up to Duterte's impeachment.

02:43President Donald Trump says Israel will hand over Gaza to the United States after the fighting

02:47was over and the enclave's residents had been resettled elsewhere.

02:51Trump claims this means no U.S. troops would be required on the ground.

02:55Israel Defense Minister Israel Katz says on X,

02:57I welcome President Donald Trump's bold initiative, which can create extensive opportunities

03:02for those in Gaza who wish to leave.

03:04Trump's announcement that the U.S. will take control of and develop Gaza into the

03:08Riviera of the Middle East was met with global condemnation.

03:12Katz says he ordered the army to create a plan allowing for the voluntary departure

03:15of Gazans from Palestine.

03:18He adds, it will include exit options through land crossings, along with special provisions

03:22for departure by sea and air.

03:24Meantime, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says people would need to live elsewhere while

03:29Gaza was being rebuilt, but did not specify whether they can return.

03:33Gaza is home to over 2 million Palestinians.

03:38Ku Jon-Yup, the husband of late actress Barbie Shue, promises to take legal action to protect

03:42the children of his wife from, quote, the wicked.

03:45Ku broke his silence to mourn the passing of his wife at age 48.

03:48In a translated post by the South China Morning Post, Ku says, quote,

03:51I am in indescribable sadness and pain, as if my heart is being cut by a knife and my

03:56insides are torn apart.

03:58I have no strength to speak, nor do I want to.

04:01Ku also accuses certain individuals of tarnishing his family's name, pretending to mourn.

04:05Ku's statement came a day after Shue's ashes were brought back to Taiwan from Japan,

04:10where she died from influenza-induced pneumonia and was cremated.

04:13Ku and Shue had dated and rekindled their relationship in 2022, marrying soon after

04:18she ended her decade-long marriage to Chinese businessman Wang Xiaofei.

04:22Following the divorce, Shue and Wang, who shared a daughter and son, traded accusations

04:26and lawsuits.

04:28K-pop girl group NU'GENE rebrands as NJZ as its members turn a new page in their careers.

04:35Minji, Hani, Danielle, Hyerin, and Hyeyin, together with American media company Complex,

04:40announced the name change Friday, February 7.

04:43In an interview with CNN, the group members open up about their new chapter and name.

04:47Danielle and Hani say the group spent a lot of time picking a name that retained the essence

04:51of the original NU'GENE's name.

04:53Hani shares they don't want their dispute with HYBE to be the focus of their careers.

04:58She also teases fans should expect music and releases that are a lot more sharp, a lot

05:02more bold.

05:03The five girls terminated their contracts with HYBE and sublabel Adore in November 2024

05:08after the two companies failed to respond to their demands.

05:13And that's today's wrap.
