00:14 San Miguel's Ramon Ang says the controversial Pasig River Expressway will no longer push

00:18 through.

00:19 Ricardo Zulueta, the former Bucor official tagged in the assassination of broadcaster

00:23 Percy Lapid, dies.

00:25 Cebu journalists call for sanctions against broadcasters who interviewed a four-year-old

00:30 rape survivor.

00:31 Russian President Vladimir Putin wins the election in a landslide victory.

00:35 And Heart Evangelista reveals she had a miscarriage in February.

00:41 San Miguel Corporation President and CEO Ramon Ang says the planned P95 billion Peso Expressway

00:47 along Pasig River is no longer pushing through.

00:49 "I am the businessman. If I see that our country is being hired, the project will not continue."

00:55 The project drew the ire of a number of environmental and heritage groups, saying it would only

01:00 negatively impact public mobility, heritage, environment and public health.

01:05 The controversial six-lane, 19.4-kilometer Pasig River Expressway was supposed to traverse

01:10 the entirety of Pasig River, connecting seven cities.

01:13 Ang says some 1.2 million tons of waste have been taken out of the Pasig River after several

01:19 cleanup activities SMC conducted.

01:22 Environmental group Ilog Pasiglahin welcomes the cancellation.

01:25 Meantime, the Transportation Department signs the concession agreement with Ang's SMC-SAP&Co

01:31 consortium to rehabilitate the Ninoy Aquino International Airport.

01:37 The former superintendent of the Bureau of Corrections, Ricardo Zulueta, tagged in the

01:42 assassination of broadcaster Percy Lapid, died at the age of 42 due to heart failure.

01:48 The Bataan Provincial Police, which announced Zulueta's death, also say Lapid's brother,

01:53 journalist Roy Mabasa, urges authorities to determine the facts surrounding the suspect's

01:57 death.

01:58 Zulueta was implicated in the killing of Lapid in late 2022, along with his former boss,

02:03 former Bu Court chief Gerald Bantag, and a couple of persons deprived of liberty.

02:08 Lapid was killed in Las Pinas City in October 2022, the second journalist to be killed under

02:13 the administration of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.

02:17 His secretary, Boeng Remulla, says he had directed the National Bureau of Investigation

02:21 to probe the authenticity of Zulueta's death.

02:29 Media organizations and lawyers in Cebu condemn the unethical conduct of Brigada News FM broadcasters

02:35 Dennis Tabar and Juryl Patiño for interviewing a 4-year-old rape survivor in their program.

02:41 In a statement, the National Union of Journalists of the Philippines in Cebu says the act was

02:46 "lacking in humanity."

02:47 The kapisana ng mga broadcaster ng Pilipinas in Cebu said the station's field reporter,

02:53 Jonalyn Humabes, facilitated the interview.

02:55 In a video circulating on social media, Patiño and Tabar asked the child to vividly describe

03:01 how she was abused.

03:02 The Cebu Federation of Beat Journalists said, "No empathy was shown towards the girl."

03:07 Under the KBP Broadcast Code of 2007, child victims are protected from enduring further

03:12 emotional stress or trauma.

03:14 The management of Brigada News FM said it is investigating the alleged misconduct of

03:18 the two broadcasters.

03:29 President Vladimir Putin wins a record 87.8% votes, the highest ever result in Russia's

03:35 post-Soviet history, on Sunday, March 17, cementing his already tight grip on power

03:41 and sending a message to the West that it will have to reckon with Russia for many more

03:45 years to come.

03:46 The United States, Germany, the United Kingdom and other nations say the vote was neither

03:50 free nor fair due to the imprisonment of political opponents and censorship.

03:55 Inspired by opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who died in an Arctic prison last month, thousands

03:59 of opponents protested at noon against Putin at polling stations inside Russia and abroad.

04:05 Putin says the Navalny-inspired protests against him had no effect on the election's outcome.

04:09 He also says Navalny's death had been a "sad event," adding he had been ready to do a prisoner

04:15 swap involving Navalny.

04:19 Actress Hart Evangelista shares in an episode of Fast Talk with Boy Abunda that she had

04:24 undergone a miscarriage in February.

04:26 In the episode, host Boy Abunda asked Hart about a previous statement she made on the

04:31 timing of being blessed with a baby.

04:33 Hart says she had been pregnant with a baby girl at the time of the statement, but that

04:37 the pregnancy had failed.

04:38 In September 2022, Hart shared she had undergone in vitro fertilization.

04:43 On the Fast Talk episode, she said she was very excited to have the baby, but that she

04:48 was so blessed in so many other ways.

04:50 Hart also revealed she and her husband, Senator Cheese Escudero, were supposed to name their

04:55 child Sophia Hart.

04:56 In 2018, Hart also lost twin babies in a miscarriage.

05:02 And that's today's wrap.
