00:12 A Chinese cargo vessel hits a Filipino fishing boat in Occidental Mindoro, prompting the

00:17 PCG to contact China.

00:19 The AFP says authorities have arrested an alleged accomplice in the Marawi bombing.

00:24 Grab commuters may face longer waiting time this Christmas, an effect of the corruption

00:28 mess in the LTFRB.

00:30 MEDA's Oversight Board is set to examine handling of violent content in the Israel-Hamas

00:35 war.

00:36 The Philippines wins four major awards in the 2023 World Travel Awards.

00:42 Pantone reveals its 2024 Color of the Year.

00:46 And Tito Soto, Vic Soto, and Joey De Leon win another trademark case against tape.

00:53 The Philippine Coast Guard is in communication with China following an alleged allusion between

00:58 a small Filipino fishing boat, the FBCA Ruel J, and a Chinese-flagged bull carrier off

01:04 the coast of Palawan, Occidental Mindoro.

01:07 Allusion refers to an incident at sea when a vessel hits a stationary object.

01:11 The Ruel J was allegedly hit by the MV Taihan 8 at around 4pm on Tuesday, December 5, while

01:17 it was attached to a payaw, a traditional fishing device.

01:21 The five fisherfolk were rescued by the PCG on December 6, while the damaged vessel was

01:25 towed back to shore by another fishing boat.

01:28 PCG spokesperson Rear Admiral Arman Balilio says China has already been informed of the

01:33 incident.

01:34 Balilio points out that according to laws and norms of the sea, it should have been

01:38 the MV Taihan 8's responsibility to rescue the crew of the Ruel J.

01:45 The military arrests a man believed to be an accomplice in a deadly bombing during a

01:49 mass at the Mindanao State University in Marawi City that killed at least four people.

01:54 Authorities arrest Jafar Gamo Sultan with the aliases "Jar" and "Korot" three

01:58 days after the blast.

02:00 The Armed Forces of the Philippines says the suspect is the companion of a certain Omar,

02:05 whom witnesses identified as the person who placed an improvised explosive device inside

02:09 the MSU gymnasium last December 3.

02:12 CCTV footage released by the AFP supposedly shows the suspected terrorist inside the MSU

02:18 Marawi campus on the morning of the bombing.

02:21 The AFP says this development "shows the seriousness of the government in capturing

02:25 the perpetrators and in ensuring that it will not happen again."

02:31 Grab users might have to wait longer for their rides during the holiday season after a corruption

02:36 scandal delayed Grab's plans for a holiday fleet.

02:39 As demand for Grab cars soars in December, it usually activates a holiday fleet of additional

02:45 but temporary drivers.

02:47 Grab Philippines country head Grace Vera Cruz says, "We don't have a holiday fleet.

02:51 We asked for it."

02:53 The recent corruption allegations that rocked the LTFRB disrupted talks with Grab for a

02:58 month.

02:59 That scandal led President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to suspend LTFRB Chairman Teofilo Guadis

03:05 III.

03:06 The allegations have since been withdrawn and Guadis is back with the LTFRB.

03:10 Cruz adds the Christmas traffic reduces by half a Grab driver's trips in a day.

03:15 Grab says that even if the government approves additional units now, it would be hard-pressed

03:20 to find drivers willing to work for a month.

03:25 MEDA's Independent Oversight Board says it will review how the company handled violent

03:29 content on its social media platforms in two cases involving hostage-taking and bombing

03:34 in the Israel-Hamas conflict.

03:36 The cases will be the first to use a new expedited review mechanism that requires the board to

03:41 decide within 30 days instead of the usual several months.

03:45 The board's decision to take on the cases comes as social media platforms are flooded

03:49 with violent, hateful and misleading content about the war.

03:53 Meantime, the head of Swiss medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres, or Doctors Without

03:58 Borders, says Gaza faces a catastrophe extending far beyond a humanitarian crisis.

04:04 The medical group says, "Very soon people will be in a mode of just trying to survive,

04:08 which will come with very severe consequences."

04:12 The United Nations says 85% of the 2.3 million population in Gaza are homeless due to the

04:18 ongoing war.

04:21 The Philippines brings home a total of four major awards from the World Travel Awards

04:25 2023, held at the Burj Al Arab in Dubai on Friday, December 1.

04:31 The Philippines is crowned world's leading beach destination, a title it holds for the

04:35 second straight year.

04:37 The country also solidifies its place in the category of diving, as it is named the world's

04:41 leading diving destination, a title it holds since 2019.

04:45 Meantime, for the first time ever, Manila is hailed the world's leading city destination,

04:51 beating contender cities from the US, Mexico, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.

04:56 The Philippines also receives the special Global Tourism Resilience Award, which was

05:00 only given to four other countries.

05:03 Dubbed the travel industry's most prestigious awards program, the WTA annually recognizes

05:08 countries, cities, establishments, services, airlines and magazines for excellence in travel,

05:14 tourism and hospitality.

05:18 Pantone Color Institute announces "Peach Fuzz" is the 2024 Color of the Year.

05:23 Pantone describes "Peach Fuzz" as a "velvety, gentle peach whose all-embracing spirit enriches

05:29 mind, body and heart."

05:31 "Peach Fuzz" is also dubbed by Pantone as a "gift to the senses," which allows

05:35 it to create a "symbiotic relationship between our sense of taste, sight, touch and scent."

05:41 Based in New Jersey, the Pantone Color Institute is best known for its color forecasts and

05:46 color matching system.

05:47 It has been naming the Color of the Year since 2000 by analyzing trends in entertainment,

05:52 fashion, branding and social media.

05:55 Its very first Color of the Year was Cerulean.

05:57 2023's Color of the Year was Viva Magenta, a shade of vivid crimson.

06:05 Comedians Tito Soto, Vic Soto and Joey De Leon win another trademark dispute, this time

06:10 involving De Leon's bid to get a trademark registration for Itbolaga for entertainment

06:15 purposes such as TV shows.

06:17 On X, Tito Soto says production company Tape's appeal has been "dismissed."

06:22 Earlier, an intellectual property of the Philippines' adjudicator ruled in favor of the comedians

06:27 in their bid to cancel Tape's trademark registration of Itbolaga and the acronym EB for merchandise

06:33 goods.

06:34 Tape claimed that the battle is not over since the case can be appealed all the way to the

06:38 Supreme Court.

06:40 Since Tape continues to use Itbolaga and EB on its noon show, the La Cruces, Tito Vic

06:44 and Joey, or TVJ, will seek an injunction from a Marikina court.

06:48 TVJ had a bitter dispute with Tape's owner, Romeo Jalasjo Sr., which prompted the group's

06:53 exit from the production company in May.

06:58 And that's today's Wrap.
