00:00 A former follower of Apollo Kiboloy says he witnessed the Duterte's leave one of the
00:17 preacher's properties with bags of guns.
00:19 A survey says more Filipinos approve of the International Criminal Court probe into the
00:24 drug war.
00:25 The cause of death of Putin critic Alexei Navalny is still undetermined.
00:29 The International Olympic Committee thumbs down boxing legend Manny Pacquiao's bid to
00:33 join the 2024 Games.
00:36 And Oppenheimer wins big at the 2024 BAFTAs.
00:41 A former Kingdom of Jesus Christ and Sunshine Media Network international researcher claims
00:46 to have witnessed former President Rodrigo Duterte and Vice President Sara Duterte leaving
00:51 controversial preacher Apollo Kiboloy's property in Davao City with bags of assorted firearms.
00:56 "Sometimes, former President Rodrigo Duterte and former Mayor Sara Duterte go there.
01:07 And when they leave Glory Mountain, they bring bags of guns."
01:17 The former president is known to be a gun aficionado.
01:20 The same researcher with the alias Rene, also a legis, Kiboloy's associate, forced him
01:24 to engage in sexual acts, claiming it had the approval of Kiboloy.
01:28 Rene adds he was once a researcher at SMNI without pay and was made to do street-level
01:33 solicitations after his media work.
01:38 Surveys from the Social Weather Station and Okta Research reveal an increasing trust and
01:42 approval among Filipinos toward the International Criminal Court investigation into former President
01:47 Rodrigo Duterte's bloody drug war.
01:49 An SWS survey from December shows 25 percent of Filipinos strongly approve of the investigation,
01:55 an increase from 20 percent in March 2023.
01:58 More Filipinos somewhat approve of the investigation, increasing from 25 to 28 percent, and fewer
02:04 Filipinos are undecided and strongly disapprove of the investigation.
02:08 The survey also reveals 26 percent of Filipinos strongly approve of the government allowing
02:12 the investigation, an increase from 21 percent in March.
02:16 Meantime, an Okta survey also reveals 59 percent of Filipinos are in favor of rejoining the
02:22 ICC.
02:23 In 2018, Duterte withdrew the Philippines from the ICC.
02:26 The Rome Statute stipulates that proceedings which had begun before the withdrawal continue
02:30 to be valid.
02:33 Russian investigators have not yet established the cause of Alexei Navalny's death and it
02:38 is unclear how long until official conclusions are made.
02:41 Navalny, a 47-year-old former lawyer, fell unconscious and died on Friday after a walk
02:46 at the Polar Wolf penal colony in Karp, where he was serving a three-decade sentence.
02:51 He was considered Russian President Vladimir Putin's most prominent domestic foe.
02:55 Navalny's team says his mother was told he died from sudden death syndrome, a vague term
03:00 for different heart conditions that end in death.
03:03 But Navalny's spokeswoman, Kira Jarmysh, says the cause of death is unknown and adds
03:07 Russian authorities were lying and stalling.
03:10 Navalny's mother and lawyers were not allowed into the morgue in the Arctic town near the
03:14 prison colony.
03:15 Navalny's death robs the Russian opposition of its most charismatic and courageous leader
03:20 as Putin prepares for re-election.
03:24 The International Olympic Committee denies Filipino boxing legend Manny Pacquiao's bid
03:29 to be included in the 2024 Paris Games, citing the 40-year-old age limit for Olympic athletes.
03:35 The Philippine Olympic Committee had hoped Pacquiao would be considered via the universality
03:39 rule.
03:40 But the IOC says universality slots are only awarded to countries with less than eight
03:45 representatives in the last two editions of the Olympics.
03:48 The Philippines had 19 athletes in the Tokyo Games in 2021, with weightlifter Haidelyn
03:53 Diaz capturing the country's first Olympic gold and boxers Carlo Paalam, Neste Patesho,
03:59 and Yumir Marcial taking home silver and bronze medals.
04:02 In 2023, Pacquiao said an Olympic stint remains the only missing achievement in his stellar
04:08 career.
04:09 Four Filipinos already earned slots in the Paris Games this July - world No. 2 pole vaulter
04:14 EJ Obiena, gymnast Carlos Yulo and Aleya Finnegan, and boxer Yumir Marcial.
04:21 Oppenheimer takes home five awards, including Best Film and Best Original Score, at the
04:26 British Academy Film and Television Awards on Sunday, February 18.
04:30 Cillian Murphy takes home the BAFTA for Best Lead Actor, Robert Downey Jr. wins Best Supporting
04:35 Actor, and Christopher Nolan bags Best Director.
04:38 Emma Stone picks up the Leading Actress Award for Sex-Charged Gothic Comedy, Poor Things,
04:43 which wins five prizes overall.
04:45 Devine Joy Randolph wins the Supporting Actress Prize for her role in The Holdovers, a comedy
04:50 set in a boys' boarding school.
04:52 Also taking home BAFTAs are the Zone of Interest for Best Film Not in the English Language,
04:57 20 Days in Mariupol for Best Documentary, and Anatomy of a Fall for Best Original Screenplay.
05:05 And that's today's wrap.
