00:00Good afternoon and a pleasant Thursday to all. I'm Patrick De Jesus and you're watching PTV News Now.

00:11Delivering the stories that matter most. Let's begin with the top headlines shaping today's news.

00:18As the nation solemnly commemorates its 127th Independence Day under the theme

00:24Magkalayaan, Kinabukasan, Kasaysayan, the Philippine National Police or PNP reaffirmed its unwavering dedication

00:31to the preservation of national sovereignty, democratic ideals, and civic order.

00:37PNP Chief, Police General Nicholas Torrey III emphasized the police's enduring role as a sentinel of liberty

00:44and a custodian of constitutional order. He framed the day not merely as a retrospective observance

00:52but as a living narrative, a continuum of sacrifice, resilience, and collective aspiration.

00:59In alignment with President Ferdinand R. Marcus Jr.'s Bagong Pilipinas vision,

01:04the PNP pledged to intensify its pursuit of a just, disciplined, and secure society

01:10guided by the legacy of those who forged the republic through valor and selflessness.

01:15To safeguard the sanctity of the day's commemorative events,

01:18the PNP deployed approximately 11,000 officers across Metro Manila,

01:24a visible assertion of its commitment to public safety and national solidarity.

01:29The police force called upon the citizenry to embrace vigilance, unity, and historical consciousness

01:35to not only honor the memory of independence, but to embody its enduring spirit

01:40in pursuit of a more dignified and sovereign future.

01:44Framing the Independence Day still as both a solemn tribute and a moral summons,

01:51House Speaker Martin Romualdez called on Filipinos to honor the nation's hard-won freedom

01:57by embracing unity, integrity, and purposeful service to the republic.

02:03In his message for the 127th anniversary of Philippine independence,

02:08Romualdez paid homage to the revolutionary spirit of those who resisted colonial rule,

02:13emphasizing that their sacrifice laid the cornerstone of a sovereign and democratic nation.

02:19He urged citizens to view the holiday not as a mere historical observance,

02:24but as a call to action to protect liberty, strengthen democratic values,

02:29and uplift the lives of future generations.

02:32He affirmed,

02:33U.S. President Donald Trump's order to bring in the National Guard and the Marines to the LA protest

03:01against ICE immigration raids was meant to not only curb the street demonstrations,

03:07but more importantly, to strike fear and worry on the protesters and those intending to join,

03:13it did not.

03:14As the downtown LA curfew ordered by Mayor Karen Bass entered its second night,

03:20some 200 demonstrators had since been taken into custody.

03:24Still, the numbers of demonstrators did not dwindle, but instead grew.

03:29The LAPD had their hands busy arresting curfew violators,

03:33restraining them in zip ties.

03:35Most of those snub gave themselves up peacefully and did not put up a struggle.

03:41After the curfew took effect last night,

03:43the downtown Los Angeles protests had spread like wildfire across the U.S.

03:48in Denver, Omaha, Nebraska, Boston, Chicago, New York, even in Ruby Red, Texas,

03:55where anti-ice raid protests spread like wildfire in Austin, San Antonio, Dallas, Houston,

04:02plus in Santa Ana in Orange County, and in San Francisco.

04:07In the jeweler district of downtown LA,

04:09shop owners decided not to take chances on potential clashes on the second night of the curfew,

04:15leading to the No Kings Day of Nationwide protest this Saturday.

04:20The planned nationwide event seeks to counter President Donald Trump's planned military parade

04:26celebrating the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary and his birthday.

04:33That concludes this afternoon's news.
