00:09The Department of Justice will ask for clarification on the court of Timor-Leste for the extradition of the former Negros Oriental representative Arnulfo Tevez Jr.
00:20The DOJ is dismayed because the court previously approved their request in June 2024 and December 2024.
00:28It seems that the ruling was not normal.
00:30According to Justice Assistant Secretary Mico Clavano, the government will not stop sending Tevez back to the Philippines.
00:37It should be noted that in front of several cases, Tevez was murdered after he was executed as a mastermind of the former Negros Oriental Governor Roel Degamo in 2023.
00:50Meanwhile, the Department of Social Welfare Development has tightened the guidelines of the Aid for the End of Income Program or ACAP.
00:58Its goal is to avoid or to use as an excuse for the politicians in their campaigns.
01:04It also assures that it will use the funds of the program properly.
01:08According to DSWD Assistant Secretary Irene Dumlao,
01:11they will also publicly disclose the names of the ACAP beneficiaries to the provinces as a display of the agency's transparency.
01:18Under the Joint Memorandum Circular of the DSWD, the sensitive information of the beneficiaries will remain private.
01:26It will also go through an in-depth evaluation and assessment of each applicant in the program.
01:31And it is only the rightful recipients of assistance from the ACAP.
01:35Meanwhile, ACAP is one of the exempted programs of the DSWD for the upcoming election.
01:42And those are the news for this time.
