00:25 Yes, Dominic. Conghe Fatchoy.
00:28 Because of the restrictions of the pandemic,
00:31 the local government did not hold a celebration of the Chinese New Year for the past 100 years.
00:37 But this year, they made sure that the activity will be joyful and lively.

00:59 Talents from different Chinese schools showed up here in Davao City.
01:02 And of course, the Dragon Dance was not missed.
01:05 The audience also enjoyed the performance of the local government.
01:09 Aside from the performances, there were also food that the activity will be bought as a taste for the audience.
01:16 According to the local government,
01:17 the performance of the program will be a thank you to the Filipino-Chinese community here in Davao City
01:24 for its great contribution to the economy of the city.
01:27 Aside from the local government,

01:34 Dominic, on the whole, the Chinese New Year celebration here in Davao City was joyful and lively.
01:41 And that is the last update.
01:43 Back to you, Dominic.
01:45 Thank you very much, Regine Ladoza and Conghe Fatsoy.
01:49 17,000 food bags will be transported from Cabuyaw, Laguna to be distributed to the affected people of the Davao Region.
01:59 The DSWD and Bureau of Fire Protection helped load these into 10 trucks of the Office of Civil Defense
02:08 from the warehouse of the agency in Cabuyaw.
02:10 The DSWD Secretary Rex Gatsalian ordered the continuous delivery of aid to Mindanao.
02:17 This was still in accordance with the directive of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.
02:21 to look at the whole-of-government approach in distributing aid to the affected families.
02:27 The Regional Trial Court has now issued a request to cancel the passport of the former Negros Oriental Representative, Arnie Tevez.
02:37 Tevez is facing multiple murder cases, including his involvement in the murder of the former Negros Oriental Governor, Ruel Degabo, last year.
02:48 The Department of Justice accepted the decision of Branch 51 after hearing for several months on the petition filed by the prosecution.
02:56 The court based the decision on the appointment of the Anti-Terrorism Council to Tevez as a terrorist.
