00:00A pleasant Monday evening to all. Yours truly, Gabrielle Lopez here for PTV News Now.
00:07And on this first day of the work week, the President is front and center once anew.
00:12It is a rain check query the local media somehow avoids or sidesteps for more pertinent and immediate concerns
00:19because of its sensitive nature and doomsday implications.
00:22But today, homegrown media had no choice but to follow up on the President's response to a
00:28what-if question asked on him in his recently concluded India visit
00:31on prospects of war between China and Taiwan and the country getting drawn into it.
00:37And the President's response was blunt and straightforward, telling his audience and the world at large,
00:43the Philippine government cannot stand passive or idle if a Taiwan-China war breaks out
00:48with the lives of at least 160,000 migrant Filipino workers in peril and needing rescue and repatriation
00:55Because of such inevitable circumstance, the President was in fact telling the nation to prepare
01:01and exercise vigilance from here on.
01:04The President's latest commentary on the Taiwan-China spat comes in the wake of yet another maritime collision
01:11in Philippine waters between a Philippine patrol ship and two Chinese naval vessels.
01:16Nevertheless, the government's policy remains firm and unchanged on its maritime territories.
01:21Backed up by a 2016 Permanent Court of Arbitration ruling to rightfully, lawfully patrol,
01:28secure and defend the country's sovereignty and sovereign rights over them.
01:34One of Al Jazeera's most popular and well-known journalists reporting the Israel-Hamas war from inside Gaza
01:41was slain earlier today from an IDF airstrike inside a 10th Mart press close to the entrance of the Al-Shifa hospital.
01:49Anas al-Sharif, arguably the most recognizable Al-Jariza correspondent,
01:54reporting from within Gaza, lost his life along with four other media crew and production staff
01:59while resting inside a tent for journalists Sunday night.
02:03Sharif 28 has long been accused by the IDF of allegedly helping lead a Hamas terrorist cell inside Gaza
02:10that launched rockets inside the Holy Land.
02:12The Israeli Defense Force's claim without showing proof except documents,
02:17it claimed it had seized from inside the Strip.
02:20At least 186 journalists, 178 of them Palestinians, have lost their lives
02:26covering the war in Gaza since it broke out in October 2023.
02:30Oddly enough, hours before the reported airstrike,
02:33Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu announced his government
02:37lifting the ban on media coverage inside Gaza for the first time in nearly two years.
02:41At this moment, let's lend our eyes and ears to my colleague in PTV's Pine City Studios
02:48for what's hot and happening in the Cordillera.
