00:06Senate President Cheese Escudero pushes back the timeline of Vice President Sara Duterte's impeachment trial.
00:19Congresswoman-elect Laila de Lima says Vice President Sara Duterte's impeachment trial must push through amid rumors that it won't.
00:26Court of Appeals justices dominate the shortlist of candidates for a new Supreme Court justice.
00:32The White House says Israel has agreed to a U.S.-led ceasefire proposal for Gaza. Meanwhile, Hamas is reviewing it.
00:38And the Ms. Grant International Organization passes its 2024 crown to first runner-up Christine Julian C.J. Opiaza of the Philippines.
00:48Senate President Cheese Escudero has moved the timeline of Vice President Sara Duterte's impeachment trial.
00:53This is to allow the Senate to tackle priority measures before the 19th Congress adjourns on June 13.
01:00Prosecutors from the House of Representatives were initially set to read out the articles of impeachment on June 2 when session resumes.
01:07This has been moved to June 11, the last session day of the 19th Congress.
01:11Escudero said that with only six session days left before the Sinedie adjournment,
01:15it is important for the Senate and the House to prioritize the passage of the administration's priority bills.
01:21Prosecutors presenting the articles of impeachment is the first step in the trial.
01:26After that, the Senate convenes as an impeachment court and issues summonses.
01:30The Vice President then has 10 days to respond, to which House prosecutors have five days to reply.
01:37Congresswoman-elect Laila De Lima of ML Party List says Thursday, May 29,
01:42that there are rumors the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte might not happen.
01:46But De Lima insisted lawmakers should not abandon the process.
01:51She said this a few hours after Senate President Cheese Escudero informed House Speaker Martin Romualdez of the change in the trial schedule.
01:58May mga bulong na hindi na raw uusad ang impeachment case laban kay Vice President Sara Duterte.
02:06Dead on arrival daw.
02:08Kulang daw sa boto.
02:11Tapos na bago pa magsimula.
02:13De Lima and her political ally, Congressman-elect Chell Diokno of Acbayan Party List,
02:18have been taught by Romualdez to join the prosecution panel.
02:20They will replace two lawmakers who weren't re-elected.
02:24There have been many questions as to whether the 19th Congress' impeachment articles may carry over to the 20th Congress.
02:30The House impeached Duterte in February for alleged betrayal of public trust,
02:34violation of the Constitution, bribery, graft and corruption, and other high crimes.
02:38Court of Appeals justices dominate the shortlist of candidates for a new Supreme Court justice.
02:46The Judicial and Bar Council released 12 names it sent to President Marcos,
02:50who will choose a replacement for SC Associate Justice Mario Lopez, who is retiring.
02:55This will be Marcos' first high court appointment.
02:58Here are the shortlisted candidates.
02:59Manuel Antonio Tijanqui, the permanent representative of the Philippines to the World Trade Organization in Geneva, was not included.
03:10He is a bar top-notcher and the son of the late Chief Justice Claudio Tijanqui.
03:14Marcos is expected to announce his decision when Lopez retires on June 4.
03:18The White House says Thursday, May 29, Israel has agreed to a U.S.-led ceasefire proposal for Gaza.
03:26The Hamas militant group, meanwhile, says it is reviewing the plan, although its terms did not meet their demands.
03:32Israeli media reported Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the families of hostages in Gaza
03:37Israel agreed to a deal worked out by U.S. President Donald Trump's Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff.
03:42Netanyahu's office did not confirm this, but White House spokeswoman Caroline Leavitt said Israel had signed off on the proposal.
03:49A source speaking anonymously said the first part of the proposed deal would include a 60-day ceasefire and allow humanitarian aid into Gaza.
03:58The Ms. Grant International Organization has officially passed the 2024 Crown to first runner-up Christine Julian CJ Opiazza of the Philippines.
04:06This, a day after the controversial step-down of India's Rachel Gupta as Ms. Grant International 2024, who cited broken promises, mistreatment, and a toxic environment.
04:17The pageant organizers made the announcement on Thursday, May 29, through a Facebook post.
04:23In a separate statement, MGI said Gupta had been terminated because she failed to perform her assigned duties.
04:29She allegedly took part in external projects without the organization's approval and refused to join a scheduled trip to Guatemala.
04:35Opiazza will be the first Filipino to hold the title.
04:39Her coronation will be on June 3 at MGI Hall in Bangkok and will be streamed live via Grand TV on YouTube.
