00:43He is currently under the Southeast Asian country's immigration custody

00:47On Wednesday, May 28, the Philippine Justice Department said it notes the recent developments concerning Tevez

00:53It adds it's ready to arrange Tevez's custody transfer by the

00:57Most expeditious means

00:59The DOJ did not confirm or give further details about the supposed arrest

01:03Tevez is accused as the mastermind in the assassination of Negros Oriental Governor Roel DeGamo

01:09DeGamo's widow, incoming Congresswoman Janice DeGamo, said Tevez's re-arrest was a significant step in their quest for justice

01:16She noted that nine other people were killed besides her husband

01:20Tevez was first arrested in Timor-Leste in March 2024

01:23But was released when he won his appeal against extradition

01:26President Ferdinand Marcus Jr. says Tuesday, May 27, reconciliation with the Dutertes shouldn't come with conditions

01:35You don't put conditions to reconcile

01:39But he told me that he doesn't want to ask you aandrun

01:41He doesn't want to apply this

01:43He doesn't do this

01:45And that could please

01:46That's not reconciliation.

01:49If you're sincere, you want to reconcile, let's sit in front of you.

01:53What's the problem? How's this going? Let's remove the problem.

01:59Marcos earlier said he was open to reconciling with the Duterte clan.

02:04Senator Bong Go, a longtime aide of former President Rodrigo Duterte, then said,

02:08Duterte should be brought back from The Hague before any reconciliation talks.

02:12Meanwhile, Marcos also continues to distance himself from the impeachment of Vice President Sara Duterte.

02:17I didn't want impeachment.

02:20Lahat ng kakampi ko sa kongreso hindi nag-file ng impeachment complaint.

02:29Yung mga nag-file ng impeachment complaint, hindi mo masasabing kaya kong utusan o pagsabihan na ito yung gagawin mo.

02:36While Marcos's closest allies did not file an impeachment complaint,

02:40several of them signed the one filed and approved by other lawmakers.

02:44For example, his son, Ilocos Norte 1st District Representative Sandro Marcos,

02:48and his cousin, House Speaker Martin Romualdez.

02:52The government selects 120,000 minimum wage earners nationwide

02:56to become beneficiaries of the 20 peso per kilo rice program starting in June.

03:02Department of Agriculture spokesman Arnel De Mesa

03:04says the Department of Labor and Employment supplied the initial list.

03:08Those chosen for the program will be allowed to buy up to 10 kilos of rice each month at 20 pesos per kilo.

03:14However, it is still unclear how the rice will reach them.

03:17De Mesa says authorities are still finalizing the system, including distribution.

03:22He adds the government-run Food Terminal Incorporated

03:25has allotted 500 million pesos for transporting the rice to beneficiaries.

03:29This move expands an existing program that allows vulnerable sectors,

03:33including indigents and senior citizens, to buy rice at that low price.

03:37DA Secretary Francisco Chu Laurel says for now,

03:41the program is limited to workers from companies that have expressed interest in the pilot program.

03:48Eraserhead's frontman, Elie Buendia, will make his film debut in a historical drama

03:52as part of the 2025 Cinemalaya Festival.

03:58which blends narrative fiction and experimental documentary filmmaking.

04:01It tells the story of the 1972 Colhante Bridge tragedy,

04:06which killed 138 people during that year's Peña Francia fluvial procession in Naga.

04:11The declaration of martial law soon after the incident complicates the search for survivors.

04:16Buendia plays a father in search of his missing son.

04:19Bicolano filmmaker Jen Romano directed the all-Bicolano cast

04:23that includes film veterans and new talent.

04:25Padamlagan will premiere along with other 2025 Cinemalaya selections in October.
