00:57on Monday, June 10. Police officers in anti-riot gear and carrying police shields
01:02position themselves outside the front gate of the KOJC compound in Buhangin, Davao City.
01:07Local broadcaster DXDC Radio Mindanao Network reports, hundreds of KOJC members also take
01:14positions in front of the gate, shouting slogans and holding placards, protesting
01:19the PNP's move to search the compound. An official from PNP Northern Mindanao
01:24confirms elite police forces have been deployed to Davao City and had trained for the raid last
01:29week. Kibuloy has been ordered arrested by regional courts in Davao and Pasay for sexual
01:34abuse of a minor, child abuse, and human trafficking. Some 12,000 people living
01:41within Canlaon Volcano's government-declared four-kilometer permanent danger zone refused
01:46to leave their homes despite warnings and an evacuation order from the local government.
01:51La Castellana Mayor Alme Rumaylan Nicor Mangilimutan says residents were reluctant to leave because
01:57of indigenous beliefs and economic concerns. She says around 2,600 households or about
02:0312,000 residents are still staying in four villages within the danger zone in La Castellana
02:08alone despite the city's mandatory evacuation order. The following villages in barangays
02:14are under threat from potential lahar flows and another possible eruption. FIVOC says
02:19it recorded at least 17 volcanic earthquakes with high sulfur dioxide emissions.
02:26Newly installed Senate President Francis Chiz Escudero suspends the construction of a new
02:31Senate building in Fort Bonifacio. The Senate was eyeing to move into the new building in September.
02:37Escudero says he met with Senator Alan Peter Cayetano, who now chairs the committee on
02:42accounts. Cayetano flagged the dramatic increase from 8.9 billion pesos to a projected 23.3 billion
02:49pesos. The construction of a new building began under the leadership of former Senate President
02:54Tito Soto. Senator Nancy Binay, the last account's chairman, says it was made clear in 2019 that the
03:018.9 billion pesos was only for the core and shell while the furnishing and interior are entirely
03:07separate. Binay adds delays would mean cost adjustments. Israeli forces pounded central
03:14Gaza on Sunday, June 9, a day after killing 274 Palestinians during a hostage rescue raid,
03:21with tanks advancing further into Rafah in a bid to seal off the part of the southern city.
03:26Palestinian medics say they remained in shock over Saturday's death toll,
03:30the worst over a 24-hour period of the Gaza War, which included women and children.
03:35Gaza's health ministry says 274 Palestinians were killed and 698 injured when Israel's special
03:42forces stormed into the al-Nusrat camp to rescue four hostages held since October by Hamas militants.
03:49Meantime, Israeli Minister Benny Gantz resigns from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's emergency
03:55government, withdrawing the only centrist power in Netanyahu's far-right coalition.
04:00Gantz's departure could leave Netanyahu reliant on hardliners, with no end in
04:04sight to the Gaza War and a possible escalation in fighting with Lebanese Hezbollah.
04:09French President Emmanuel Macron calls for snap legislative elections on June 30,
04:16with a second-round vote on July 7. This after he was defeated in the European Union vote by
04:22Marine Le Pen's National Rally, or RN, far-right party. Macron's decision set off a political
04:28earthquake in France, offering the far-right a shot at real political power after years
04:32on the sidelines and threatening to neuter Macron's presidency three years before it ends.
04:38Widely seen as the frontrunner for the 2027 election, Le Pen welcomes the decision.
04:43Macron's renaissance party currently has 169 lower-house lawmakers out of a total of 577,
04:51the RN has 88. Led by telegenic 28-year-old Jordan Bardella, RN won about 32% of the vote on Sunday,
04:59more than double the Macron's tickets' 15.

05:15Finally, after 13 years of waiting, my petition for nullity of marriage has been granted by the
05:20Supreme Court. Jodie and Pampi tied the knot in 2005 but split in 2011. They have a son named
