00:13 Senator Bato Dela Rosa tells President Marcos to be man enough in being transparent about

00:17 cooperating with the ICC.

00:20 The China Coast Guard drives away Filipino fishermen from Bajo de Masinloc.

00:25 President Marcos draws flak for taking the presidential chopper to watch Coldplay's

00:28 Bulacan concert.

00:30 Florida Governor Ron DeSantis endorses Donald Trump as he ends his presidential campaign.

00:36 And Chris Aquino shares another health update.

00:40 Senator Bato Dela Rosa appeals to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. be man enough to be transparent

00:46 over the International Criminal Court's investigation into the Duterte administration's bloody drug

00:50 war.

00:51 Dela Rosa had previously said he wasn't bothered by the ICC probe.

00:55 Speaking to reporters about the alleged presence of ICC personnel in the country in late 2023,

01:01 Dela Rosa addresses Marcos telling him to inform them if he has changed his mind about

01:05 not cooperating with the ICC.

01:08 Former Senator Antonio Trillanes claimed on Sunday, ICC probers had visited the Philippines

01:13 to gather evidence in relation to the Duterte drug war.

01:16 An Inquirer report says Trillanes also alleges an arrest warrant against former President

01:21 Rodrigo Duterte will be out soon.

01:24 Dela Rosa is known as the architect of the Duterte administration's bloody war on drugs.

01:31 Videos posted online show Filipino fishermen collecting seashells reportedly being harassed

01:35 and driven away by the Chinese Coast Guard near Bajo de Masinloc in the West Philippine

01:39 Sea.

01:40 Philippine Coast Guard spokesperson Comodore J. Tariella says the incident took place on

01:45 Friday, January 12, while Filipino fishermen were aboard FB Legendary Joe near the south

01:50 entrance of Bajo de Masinloc.

01:53 At least five CCG personnel on a rubber boat approached the fishermen, instructing them

01:57 to "return the shells they gathered to the sea."

02:00 A CCG personnel also grabbed the boat and prevented it from departing unless they followed.

02:06 The PCG is in the process of taking statements from those involved and is waiting for the

02:10 Filipino boat to arrive.

02:12 This is the latest incident faced by Filipino fishermen at the hands of the Chinese Coast

02:16 Guard.

02:19 President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. draws flak after he is spotted riding a chopper for Coldplay's

02:23 Music of the Spheres concert in Bulacan on Friday, January 19.

02:28 Social media users who attended the Coldplay concert share videos of Marcos arriving on

02:32 the helicopter.

02:34 Many compared his ride to their daily ordeal of traffic in Metro Manila.

02:38 The presidential security group says, due to "an unprecedented influx of 40,000 people

02:43 attending the concert as well as unforeseen traffic complications," they decided to use

02:47 the presidential chopper.

02:49 Metro Manila recently topped the 2023 TomTom Traffic Index list of metro areas with the

02:54 slowest travel time, taking an average of 25 minutes and 30 seconds to travel 10 kilometers.

03:02 Florida Governor Ron DeSantis ends his presidential campaign and endorses Donald Trump just two

03:07 days before the pivotal New Hampshire primary.

03:10 Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley is now Trump's last remaining challenger for the

03:14 Republican nomination.

03:15 The majority of DeSantis' supporters appear more likely to switch allegiance to Trump

03:20 rather than Haley.

03:21 University of New Hampshire Survey Center Director Andrew Smith says, "About two-thirds

03:26 of DeSantis' backers in New Hampshire cite Trump as their second choice."

03:30 Polls show Trump is holding a double-digit lead over Haley in New Hampshire.

03:35 He also holds a commanding lead in South Carolina.

03:38 The former president has maintained an iron grip on the Republican electorate despite

03:42 facing four criminal prosecutions.

03:45 He has pleaded not guilty in all the cases.

03:49 Chris Aquino promises her loved ones she wouldn't be a wimp during her treatment given that

03:54 an onset of lupus has made her health issues more complex.

03:58 Chris shares her first health update in around two months, saying she's felt very weak since

04:02 Thanksgiving 2023 in the United States.

04:05 Chris says she was also exhibiting many symptoms for another autoimmune disease, including

04:09 high inflammatory numbers, anemia, and the constant appearance of a butterfly rash on

04:14 her face.

04:16 Lupus occurs when the immune system attacks its own tissues.

04:19 But despite her health journey taking a toll on her, Chris says her faith is still strong.

04:24 She also expresses her gratitude for the support she's been receiving and says she will continue

04:28 to fight.

04:29 Chris has been battling a number of autoimmune diseases since 2018.

04:35 And that's today's Wrap.
