00:01A calm and cool Thursday evening to you all. I'm Shams Espina and this is PTV News Now, where we get straight to the heart of the matter.
00:08Let's begin right here on the home front.
00:11The Department of Environment and Natural Resources is laying down roots for sustainable growth by opening nearly 1.2 million hectares of forest land as potential investment areas.
00:21Under the newly launched Sustainable Forest Land Management Agreement, these areas carefully mapped and cleared are now ripe for the picking by eco-conscious investors.
00:31Launched in Pasai City, the program is part of the markets administration's broader push for green development, including the ambitious 5 Million Trees by 2028 campaign.
00:41By turning over a new leaf in forest governance, the DNR hopes to spark investments that won't just grow on trees.
00:48They'll generate jobs, fuel rural economies and give the country's GDP a much needed shot in the arm.
00:54It's a bold step towards proving that economic progress and environmental protection can go hand in hand.
01:02How does Donald Trump love to communicate his messages on his truth social platform?
01:07Unwittingly or carelessly spilling classified need to know information or classified material at times.
01:13When he posted on his truth social platform over the last weekend, the airstrikes and bombardment of three key Iranian nuclear development facilities in Natanz, Isfahan and Fordow,
01:23he was gushing pride over the success of the operation dubbed Midnight Hammer, saying all air attacks obliterated their targets.
01:31His top national security officials, to include Pentagon Chief-slash-Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, echoed this message,
01:41along with Fox News opinion and talk show hosts all throughout the week.
01:46But two days ago, a CNN correspondent broke out an early report from the U.S. intel community,
01:51citing its initial findings, the battlefield damage inflicted on the key targets did not rise up to the level of obliteration or long-term disrepair.
02:01Immediately, President Donald Trump, after arriving from his trip to the NATO summit meet in the Netherlands,
02:06lashed out at the report and the CNN correspondent who broke out the news.
02:10He insisted the before and after aerial photos show the extent of the damage on the surface.
02:15Vindicating his pronouncement, the airstrikes did its job and accomplished its mission.
02:19What those photos don't show are well beneath the surface, where Iran's enrichment facilities are hidden.
02:26Tomorrow, the top intelligence officials will brief leaders of both parties in the House and chairs
02:31and ranking minority members of the Senate and House Intelligence Committees, known as the Gang of Eight,
02:37with a first classified report on the status of those airstrikes.
02:42Now, at this juncture, let's shift focus to my colleague in PTV's Baguio City Studios
02:47for what's brewing of late in the Cordilleras. Audrey?
02:51The name of PTV's Baguio City Studios is a big-time oil price hike in Tunbigat.
