00:42The Philippines criticizes China's air force after two of its planes dropped flares in
00:47the path of a Philippine aircraft over Scarborough Shoal on Thursday, August 8.
00:51President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Sunday, August 11 said the action was unjustified,
00:56illegal and reckless.
00:57The Armed Forces of the Philippines earlier called it dangerous and provocative.
01:01The Philippine Air Force plane was on a routine patrol flight over Scarborough Shoal, which
01:06lies within the Philippines' Exclusive Economic Zone.
01:08This is the first air force-to-air force encounter with the Chinese in the area under the Marcos
01:13administration.
01:16Vice President Sara Duterte gets her lowest satisfaction rating ever in a public opinion
01:20survey, the first since she resigned as education secretary.
01:24A new Social Weather Stations, or SWS, survey shows satisfaction with Duterte's performance
01:29dropped from 75 percent in March to 65 percent by late June.
01:34The satisfaction rose from 13 percent to 21 percent.
01:38Net satisfaction with Duterte dropped from plus 63 to plus 44.
01:42The survey was conducted among 1,500 adult respondents across the Philippines from June
01:4723 to July 1.
01:49That was the week after Duterte quit as education chief on June 19.
01:53Despite the drop, SWS says Duterte's net satisfaction rating still qualifies as good.
02:04The alleged accomplice of the convicted killer of broadcaster Percy Lapid dies as police
02:09try to arrest him on Sunday, August 11.
02:12In an interview with DZPP, NCR Police Chief Major General Jose Melenchon Artates Jr. said
02:18the suspect, Jake Mendoza, died by suicide.
02:21This was hours after negotiations with the police on orders to arrest Mendoza in Lipa,
02:26Batangas.
02:27Artates said Mendoza held his partner and child hostage during the negotiation.
02:31Police say Mendoza was the accomplice of Joel Escorial, who was convicted of killing Lapid
02:36in May.
02:37Lapid was driving near his home in Las Pinas when he was shot dead in October 2022.
02:42His real name was Percy Mabasa.
02:44He was the second journalist known to have been killed under the Marcos administration.
