00:48The Philippine Coast Guard says it is committed to sustaining a presence in a disputed area
00:52of the South China Sea to ensure China does not carry out reclamation activities at the
00:57Sabina Shoal.
00:58In a press conference, PCG spokesperson Jay Tariella says the Coast Guard has deployed
01:03ships to the atoll.
01:05Since mid-April, PCG says it discovered piles of dead and crushed coral dumped on the atoll,
01:11altering the sizes and elevation of the sandbars.
01:14The shoal, which Manila calls Escoda, lies within the Philippines' Exclusive Economic
01:18Zone or EEZ.
01:20It is the rendezvous point for vessels carrying out resupply missions to Filipino troops
01:25stationed on a grounded warship at Ayungin Shoal.
01:30The Senate hearing on the supposed Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency leaks heat up as Senator
01:35Estrada took offense over the remark of dismissed PIDEA agent Jonathan Morales that the senator
01:41is a convicted criminal.
01:43During the hearing, Estrada questions Morales' credibility to testify since he was facing
01:48a string of cases.
01:49Your Honor, Senator Jingo Estrada's statement about me is not good.
01:58It seems that I am being prosecuted.
02:01I just have a case and it has not yet been proven in court.
02:05Unlike our good Senator, he has already been convicted.
02:09No, no, no.
02:10Don't be like that.
02:11I know Mr. Morales.
02:12I know Mr. Morales.
02:13No, no.
02:14I know Mr. Morales.
02:15No, no.
02:16I know Mr. Morales.
02:17I know Mr. Morales.
02:19I know Mr. Morales.
02:21Estrada was acquitted of plunder but convicted of bribery in the pork barrel scam.
02:26Morales was dismissed from PIDEA for dishonesty and misconduct.
02:31The Foreign Affairs Department says it would look into any reports of illegal and unlawful
02:36activities of diplomats posted in the Philippines.
02:39This days after Defense Secretary Guibo Chidoro and National Security Advisor Eduardo Año
02:45called on the DFA to investigate if Philippine laws were violated by Chinese embassy officials
02:50in Manila.
02:51Last Wednesday, May 9, Chidoro noted that the Chinese embassy may have admitted to breaking
02:56Philippine laws, particularly the anti-wiretapping law.
03:00Last week, the Chinese embassy released a supposed recording of Western Command Chief
03:04Vice Admiral Alberto Carlos agreeing to terms China imposed to ease tensions in the Iung
03:10and Shoal.
03:11Carlos allegedly agreed to terms that China imposed on Philippine resupply missions to
03:15the Shoal.

03:24Filipino gymnastics star Carlos Yulo parts ways with his management group, KG, as he
03:29vows to keep his eye on the Olympics.
03:32KG was formed by his former Japanese coach Munihiro Kogumiya with whom he has also parted
03:37ways in previous months.
03:39In an exclusive interview with Rappler, Yulo accuses KG of mismanagement.
04:09On Mother's Day, Sunday, May 12, actress Heart Evangelista opens up about suffering
04:23her fourth miscarriage.
04:25In an Instagram post, Heart shares a handwritten letter to her son, whom she was supposed to
04:29name Francisco.
04:31She discloses their baby boy's heart stopped beating a few days ago, and while she was
04:35heartbroken, she says she will still, quote, keep her heart intact.
04:40She also expressed her gratitude to the child, who she calls their fourth angel.
04:45Heart ends her post by giving a shout-out to fellow mothers who are also going through
04:49the same struggle.
04:51Heart married Senator Cheese Escudero in 2015.
