00:43A defense witness in the impeachment trial says Vice President Sarah Duterte has no business
00:49interests in the company GenCorp but also says she received more than 2 million pesos in what
00:55she called return of capital between 2022 and 2025 when she was already Vice President.
01:00Day 42 of the trial on Wednesday, November 11, sees GenCorp in-house corporate counsel Suzette
01:06Malucanag-Bunay testifying in Duterte's defense.
01:10She denies part of a forensic financial report by lawyer Alex Cabrera that said Duterte owns
01:15a 20% stake in GenCorp with paid-up capital worth 250,000 pesos.
01:21Duterte's own statement of assets, liabilities, and net worth, or SAL-N, for 2024 to 2025 states,
01:27she is a stockholder of GenCorp.
01:29Malucanag-Bunay says Duterte invested in a company called Davao Bounty Foods Corporation
01:34long before she became Vice President.
01:37Later on, her investment was carried over to GenCorp for the franchise of a Jollibee branch
01:41in Times Square, Davao City.
01:43Why is GenCorp giving a monthly amount to the Vice President from the Times Square branch?
01:54What's the basis of giving her anything?
01:58The return of capital was from the loose investment which was carried over to Great Jolli Times,
02:07Times Square B, and eventually to GenCorp.
02:09How much is that contribution?
02:11When you say return on investment, eh di may investment si Vice President doon na binabalik.
02:17So magkano po ba yung investment na yun?
02:19At ano yung dokumento kung meron man na nagpapatunay po nun?
02:23Exactly.
02:23Unfortunately, Your Honor, I could not verify also the amount
02:27because there are no written records for this investment.
02:34The 1987 Constitution prohibits the President, Vice President, and Cabinet members from participating
02:40in any business while they are in office.
02:44The Philippine Justice Department starts the extradition process against Doomsday Sec leader
02:49Apollo Kibuloy based on the request of the U.S. government.
02:52The DOJ says Tuesday, November 10, the U.S.'s request to extradite Kibuloy and his co-accused
02:58has been filed with the Makati City Regional Trial Court.
03:01Kibuloy's cases include international human trafficking, sex trafficking, conspiracy, and
03:06bulk cash smuggling.
03:07In the Philippines, he faces separate trafficking, sexual abuse, and child abuse cases filed in
03:13Pasig City and Quezon City courts.
03:15He has been detained in the Pasig City Jail since November 2024.
03:19He was arrested on September 8, 2024, after a tense-months-long manhunt in his home turf,
03:25Davao City.
03:26Kibuloy and his co-accused, Teresita Dandan and Helen Panilag, have been in the FBI's
03:30Most Wanted list since 2022.
03:35Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives succeed in blocking an effort to impeach Defense
03:40Secretary Pete Hegseth Tuesday, November 10.
03:43Lawmakers vote 211 to 204, favoring a motion to refer the Articles of Impeachment to the
03:49House Judiciary Committee, which is led by Republicans.
03:52Kentucky Representative Thomas Massey had warned that the referral would kill the impeachment
03:56effort, yet the chamber voted to do so.
03:59Himself a Republican, Massey led the move against Hegseth in hopes of getting support from other
04:04Republican lawmakers upset with the Iran War, but no other Republicans joined him.
04:08This leaves Hegseth secure as Pentagon chief, at least until the new Democrat-led Congress
04:13takes over in January.
04:16Opinion polls show the Iran War was one of the reasons many American voters favored the
04:20Democratic Party in the midterm elections.
04:23House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries says, quote,
04:26Pete Hegseth has abused his power, undermined America's national security, and he's the
04:31architect of the reckless and costly failed war of choice in Iran.
04:35U.S. President Donald Trump overtly stands by Hegseth, although critics say Hegseth might
04:40take the fall for citizens' frustration with the administration's military adventures.
04:46Swedish activist Greta Thunberg arrives at COP31 in Antalya, Turkey, her first time back at
04:52the climate summit since 2021.
04:54She says the talks can have life or death consequences on countless people.
04:58We still have to fight to prevent every catastrophe that we can prevent and save every life that
05:05we can save.
05:06But we also need to acknowledge that the COPs are not sufficient to prevent a climate catastrophe.
05:16Thunberg rose to global renown by inspiring young people to demand governments to reduce
05:21greenhouse gas emissions.
05:23COP31 began on Monday, November 9, as negotiators pushed for a plan to increase the shareholder
05:28of electricity in global energy use and to revive stalled efforts to move away from fossil fuels.
05:36Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival confirms K-pop superstars SB19 will join its 2027 lineup.
05:43The group's leader, Pablo, says,
05:45From the very beginning, we've always dreamed of bringing Filipino music to places we once only imagined.
05:50He adds,
05:51This one's for everyone who believed in us from day one.
05:54Pablo, Stel, Justin, Ken, and Josh will be performing at Coachella on
05:58April 10 and 17.
06:00Other major acts performing on the same dates are Tame Impala, Phoebe Bridgers, and NCT.
06:05In July, SB19 became the first all-Filipino group to perform at Lollapalooza, another major
06:11global music festival held yearly in Chicago.
06:14SB19 was named one of the Philippines' official tourism ambassadors alongside
06:18P-pop queen's Beanie, who became the first homegrown Filipino act to appear at Coachella last April.
06:26And that's today's wrap.
