00:13 Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista says the NIA security officer who swallowed $300
00:18 will face a maximum penalty.
00:20 The ombudsman reprimands Lorraine Badoy and Antonio Parlade over red tagging.
00:25 President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. certifies the proposed 2024 budget as an urgent bill in
00:29 the House of Representatives.
00:31 Senator Joel Villanueva says the approval of the divorce bill at the committee level
00:35 does not guarantee its passage.
00:37 American novelists and authors sue OpenAI for training Chad GPT using their works.
00:43 Three Stray Kids members figure in a minor car accident.
00:47 And Taylor Swift reveals the vault tracks for her upcoming re-recorded album, 1989.
00:54 The Transportation Department directs the Office of Transportation Security to immediately
00:58 file charges against the security screening officer who allegedly stole money from passengers
01:02 at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 1.
01:06 This after authorities confirmed the female personnel swallowing $300 worth of bills she
01:11 reportedly took from the wallet of a passenger.
01:13 The Manila Bulletin reports she manually inspected a passenger's shoulder bag and was later seen
01:18 tucking something into her waist area.
01:21 CCTV footage shows the same officer taking a bottle of water from a fellow officer as
01:25 she tried to swallow the bills.
01:28 Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista authorizes a maximum penalty for the offending personnel
01:33 to show the department's push to "rid Naiya of scalawags."
01:37 The OTS says it is coordinating with police to assist the passenger should he decide to
01:41 file a criminal case against the security officer.
01:46 The Ombudsman finds former NTF-ELCAC officials Lorraine Badoy and Antonio Parlade Jr. guilty
01:51 in an administrative case.
01:53 The Ombudsman finds Badoy and Parlade guilty of conduct prejudicial to the best interest
01:58 of the service and sanctions them with a reprimand.
02:01 This offense is typically punished with suspension for six months to a year for the first offense.
02:06 The charges stem from a complaint filed by the National Union of People's Lawyers.
02:10 NUPL lawyers filed the complaint against Badoy and Parlade for their, quote, "practice of
02:15 tagging progressive organizations and their members as communist terrorists of the Communist
02:19 Party of the Philippines, New People's Army, and the National Democratic Front of the Philippines."
02:26 President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. certifies as urgent the 2024 Spending Plan of the National
02:31 Government.
02:32 This allows the House of Representatives to pass the General Appropriations Bill or House
02:36 Bill No. 8980 on second and third reading on the same day.
02:41 The Marcos administration is seeking a P5.77 trillion budget for 2024, up by 9.5 percent
02:48 compared to this year's P5.27 trillion budget.
02:52 A total of P10.1 billion from that proposal are for intelligence and confidential funds.
02:57 Kabataan Rep. Raul Manuel criticizes the certification, calling it self-serving as it, quote, "forces
03:04 the House to skip discussion of crucial amendments."
03:08 Following the committee-level passage of the divorce bill, Senate Majority Leader Joel
03:12 Villanueva says the move was just, quote, "part of the process of deliberations on any
03:17 proposed measure."
03:19 Villanueva clarifies the legislators who signed the bill do not represent the majority of
03:23 the 24 senators.
03:25 In 2019, Villanueva said he supports making annulment accessible for the poor, but said,
03:30 quote, "Divorce is a big no for me."
03:33 Senate Bill No. 2443 was the consolidated measure filed by Senators Risa Monteveros,
03:38 Rafi Tulfo, Robin Padilla, Pia Cayetano, and Amy Marcos.
03:43 If passed, it will provide protections to the parties to the marriage and its common
03:46 children, amending the Family Code of the Philippines.
03:50 Opposition from the Catholic Church, Christian groups, and some lawmakers like Villanueva
03:54 have been one of the biggest hindrances to the passage of a divorce bill, leaving the
03:58 Philippines the only country in the world apart from the Vatican without a divorce law.
04:04 A trade group for American authors sues OpenAI in a Manhattan federal court on behalf of
04:09 prominent writers including John Grisham, Jody Pico, and Game of Thrones novelist George
04:14 R. R. Martin.
04:15 The authors accuse of OpenAI unlawfully training its popular artificial intelligence-based
04:20 chatbot ChatGPT on their work.
04:23 The proposed class-action lawsuit by the Authors Guild joins several others from writers, source
04:27 code owners, and visual artists against generative AI providers.
04:32 In addition to OpenAI, similar lawsuits are pending against Meta and Stability AI over
04:36 the data used to train their AI systems.
04:39 OpenAI and other AI defendants say the use of training data scrapped from the internet
04:44 qualifies as fair use under the U.S. copyright law.
04:47 The complaint says ChatGPT generated accurate summaries of the authors' books when prompted
04:52 to do so, which indicated that their texts are included in its database.
04:58 Three members of K-pop boy group Stray Kids sustained bruises from a minor car accident,
05:03 resulting in changes to their scheduled activities.
05:06 In a statement, their agency, JYP Entertainment, announces Stray Kids members Lee Know, Hyunjin,
05:11 and Seungmin were involved in a minor collision on Wednesday, September 20.
05:15 The label adds after the accident, the members were immediately taken to hospital for tests,
05:20 which showed none of them were seriously injured.
05:22 Meanwhile, only members Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han, also known as 3RACHA, will perform
05:27 at the Global Citizen Festival.
05:29 Stray Kids is also set to stage their two-day Unveil 13 concert in Seoul on October 21 and
05:35 22.
05:36 As of this reporting, JYP Entertainment has yet to announce changes to the members' participation
05:41 in the concert.
05:44 The titles of all five vault tracks from Taylor Swift's 1989 Taylor's Version album are revealed,
05:49 after 33 million puzzles are solved on Google.
05:52 The first four vault titles are "Is It Over Now?", "Now That We Don't Talk", "Say Don't
05:57 Go", and "Suburban Legends".
05:59 Ours after revealing these titles, Taylor unveils the back covers of the album, giving
06:03 fans the title of the fifth vault track, called "Slut".
06:06 Taylor's Vault puzzles began appearing on Google on Tuesday, September 19.
06:10 A Google search for "Taylor Swift" prompts an interactive blue vault to pop up on your
06:15 screen, and clicking on it activates 33 million word puzzles that must be solved collectively
06:19 by fans all over the world.
06:22 This comes a month after Taylor announced the release date of the re-recorded version
06:25 of her fifth studio album, 1989, on October 27.
