00:42House Speaker Martin Romualdez sounds the alarm on the Senate's decision to remand the articles of impeachment as he closed the 19th Congress.
00:49The decision of the Senate sitting as an impeachment court to return the articles of impeachment is deeply concerning.
01:03These articles were transmitted by the chamber in accordance with the Constitution.
01:09In remanding, the impeachment court asked for two things.
01:13First, for the House to certify that it did not violate a constitutional rule when it proceeded with the Vice President's impeachment.
01:19Second, for the House of the 20th Congress to express willingness to push through with the trial.
01:24The lower chamber approved a resolution certifying that Duterte's impeachment did not violate the Constitution before adjourning Sine Dia.
01:31The House of Representatives acted not out of haste, but with deliberate care.
01:46We followed the law, we honored our mandate, and above all, we stood for what the Filipino people deserve.
01:55A government that answers to its citizens.
01:59House prosecutors earlier said the impeachment court's second order is impossible to fulfill because the 20th Congress has not yet convened.
02:09The lack of water and dirty toilets in a couple of public schools President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. visited in Bulacan brings Prime Water's poor water service back in the news.
02:18President Marcos was disappointed to see the poor state of toilets in Barihan Elementary School in Malolo City and Tibagan Elementary School in San Miguel Bulacan.
02:27Marcos said the schools had inadequate water supply, even though they were not remiss in paying their water bills.
02:33Presidential Communications Office Undersecretary Claire Castro reveals Wednesday, June 11, Barihan Elementary School was covered by Prime Water's joint venture with the City of Malolo's Water District.
02:43She said Prime Water promised to repair a pump station and damaged pipelines will be restored before school opening.
02:50Marcos in April ordered a probe into the joint ventures of water districts with Prime Water under the Duterte administration.
02:56Prime Water's infrastructure covers 1.7 million households and is now one of the country's largest water companies.
03:04The Land Transportation Office is going after driving schools which might be compromising public road safety.
03:10The agency recently sanctioned 32 driving schools, 15 in Metro Manila, and 17 in Central Luzon for different infractions.
03:19Early in June, the LTO also issued show-cause orders against 205 driving schools for issuing court certificates for theoretical driving and practical driving to those who have not earned it.
03:30LTO's Central Luzon Regional Office also meted out penalties to seven driving instructors.
03:34Rappler tried to obtain the running list of driving schools already penalized or suspended by the LTO.
03:40But LTO said it could not publicize the list due to data privacy concerns.
03:45The Transportation Department is doubling down on driving schools and individuals that may be compromising road safety following multiple road crashes.
03:52United States President Donald Trump says he sent the National Guards and Marines to, quote,
03:59liberate Los Angeles from protester violence.
04:02But Little Tokyo residents in L.A. say Trump's troop deployment only intensifies the protests against the recent immigration raids in their neighborhood.
04:10Police have reportedly used flashbangs and fired less lethal munitions at protesters in the neighborhood.
04:16The Trump administration says its immigration raids are rounding up de facto criminals for lacking proper documents to stay in the United States.
04:25California Governor Gavin Newsom says the use of military had, quote,
04:28only inflamed a combustible situation and warned that the move is an assault on democracy.
04:34Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bays says that Trump's use of troops was a deliberate effort to create chaos.
04:39The Trump administration rejects the accusation, saying it only deployed the troops due to local and state leaders' inability to get the situation under control.
04:50Filipino basketball star Kiefer Ravenna ties the knot with model and beauty queen Diana Mackey on Wednesday, June 11,
04:56at the St. Michael the Archangel Parish in BGC Taguig.
05:00Their wedding comes less than a year after they publicized their relationship in October.
05:04The two announced their engagement in November, with Ravenna popping the question in Japan,
05:08where he currently plays in the B League for the Yokohama B Corsairs.
05:12Ravenna and Mackey are expecting their first child.
05:15One of the Philippines' top guards, Ravenna has been playing in the B League since 2021.
05:20Mackey is a Pinoy Big Brother alumnus from the eighth season that ran from 2018 to 2019.
05:25She then joined Binibining Pilipinas in 2022, reaching the top 12.
