00:00 Good day, I'm Naomi Tiburcio and this is PTV News Now.
00:16 Anti-Graf Crusader and presidential candidate Bernardo Arevalo, a 64-year-old diplomat and
00:21 son of an ex-president, won the Guatemala presidential polls by a landslide, garnering
00:27 58% of the vote against 37%, chalked up by his former or rival former first lady, Sandra
00:34 Torres.
00:35 Friends, family and campaign people came out late Sunday night till early Monday morning
00:40 to acknowledge cheering and flag-waving supporters from down in the public square after a preliminary
00:47 count showed Arevalo's practically insurmountable lead, with 99% of the vote in.
00:53 Arevalo's victory is seen as a crucial test of how Guatemala's democracy will hopefully
00:59 hold and grow despite attempts from the elite to suppress change and amid food insecurity
01:05 and gang violence that has triggered the largest mass migration in Central America thus far.
01:14 Spain's 23-year-old striker Olga Carmona, who scored the only goal in the World Cup
01:19 final Sunday night in Sydney against England and helped Spain win its first ever World
01:24 Cup, paid tribute to her father who died hours before the title game.
01:29 She thanked him for giving her the strength to achieve something unique, which the entire
01:34 country will celebrate over the next few days.
01:37 The Real Madrid star also dedicated her goal and the team's victory to her best friend's
01:43 late mother, showing the undershirt she wore when she scored the decisive and historic
01:49 goal with her written on it.
01:52 The PAL body has spoken.
01:53 The 10 barangays that used to be under Makati's jurisdiction are officially the "Gig Cities"
01:59 when the Village and Youth Council, or BSK, election kick off on October 30.
02:04 In a memorandum dated Saturday, August 19, the Kamalek bared the guidelines or recommended
02:10 actions for the implementation by its departments in the concerned communities or barangays.
02:16 Among the PAL bodies' recommended actions besides document production from the Supreme
02:22 Court and regional trial court's decisions, among the prescribed actions include laying
02:29 down the procedures to legally deputize Makati's LGUs to permit the use of schools in those
02:35 10 barangays as voting centers.
02:38 BSKE candidates are advised to proceed to the Takik Convention Center for the filing
02:44 of their certificates of candidacy from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on August 28 to September 2.
