00:41The Supreme Court denies Senator Bato de la Rosa's request for a temporary restraining order on the International Criminal Court's
00:48arrest warrant.
00:49The High Court says, quote,
00:50The SC only decided on the prayers for interim relief.
00:53The main issues raised by the parties in their pleadings and motions are yet to be resolved in the main
00:58case.
00:59A denial on the merits would have cleared the roadblock on implementing the ICC warrant.
01:03The ICC pretrial chamber found reasonable grounds that de la Rosa was criminally liable for the alleged killings under the
01:10Davao Death Squad as well as former President Rodrigo Duterte's war on drugs.
01:14The Justice Department on May 15 said it would only act on de la Rosa's warrant after all legal issues
01:19have been resolved by the SC.
01:21De la Rosa filed a TRO request with the SC in November 2025 to block his potential arrest even before
01:27the ICC unsealed and confirmed its warrant on May 11.
01:30When asked if the Marcos administration would implement the warrant now,
01:34Palace Press Officer Claire Castro says the DOJ is the designated agency to respond to such queries.
01:39But DOJ spokesperson Rafael Nicolo Martinez says it is now up to Malacanang to make further pronouncements on the matter.
01:47Senator Pia Cayetano is the new chair of the powerful Blue Ribbon Committee.
01:51This comes after the Senate coup that installed her brother, Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano, as Senate President.
01:57Pia replaces Sen. Ping Laxon as the Blue Ribbon panel chair.
02:01The Senate Blue Ribbon Committee has been investigating alleged corruption in flood control projects.
02:06Laxon drew criticism from fellow senators over how he was handling the investigation.
02:11He resigned in October 2025 but eventually returned as panel chair on November 11 the same year.
02:16He shared the panel's partial report findings and recommendations in a privileged speech earlier in May.
02:21The draft report recommended preliminary investigations and the filing of plunder and graft charges against his colleague Sen. Cheese Escudero,
02:29Joel Villanueva, and Jingoy Estrada.
02:32Meantime, Pia also gets emotional during the Senate plenary session as she recalls the May 13 shooting incident.
02:37Para sa amin na nandito, napakaraming nangyari.
02:41Takot na takot po ako na kailangan ko na magpaalam sa mga anak ko.
02:44Dalawang pintuan na nagpoprotect sa akin sa putukan.

03:42the government.
03:45Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin meet for a summit in Beijing to discuss key international issues.
03:52This comes after US President Donald Trump's visit to the Chinese capital.
03:56While Putin and Trump are deeply at odds with each other, the visits have been hailed by Chinese state media
04:01as a recognition of China's current global standing.
04:04Putin's visit comes at a time when Chinese-Russian bilateral trade is improving after a downturn last year.
04:10Two-way trade rose 16.1% in the first four months of this year over the same period in
04:152025 in value terms.
04:16Some 40 documents are expected to be signed and a 47-page joint statement on their strengthening partnership will be
04:23issued.
04:25A slain security guard, mosque elder and Uber driver are hailed as heroes of the shooting at the Islamic Center
04:31of San Diego.
04:32The three distracted two armed assailants and kept 140 school children inside the mosque safe on Monday, May 18.
04:39The security guard, Amin Abdullah, engaged in a shootout with the 17 and 18-year-old assailants to thwart the
04:45attack.
04:46Meantime, mosque elder Mansour Kaziha and Uber driver Nadir Awad also distracted the suspects after they stormed into the building.
04:53San Diego Police Chief Scott Wall says,
04:56Abdullah immediately recognized the two as threats and opened fire on them as they ran past him outside the mosque.
05:02Abdullah wound up fatally shot while Kaziha and Awad were later cornered and also shot in the parking lot.
05:07Abdullah transmitted the radio call that activated a security lockdown which Wall says prevented further bloodshed.
05:14The teenage assailants took their own lives shortly after.
05:18Imam and Director of the Islamic Center, Taha Hassane says,
05:21We call them our brothers in the community. We call them our martyrs and our heroes.
