00:13South Korean lawmakers call for the impeachment of President Yun Suk-kyo after his surprise
00:17martial law declaration.
00:19Vice President Sara Duterte faces a second impeachment complaint.
00:23The Philippine Coast Guard reports Chinese Navy and Coast Guard vessels took aggressive
00:27actions against a routine Philippine patrol.
00:31Brain rot is 2024's Oxford Word of the Year.
00:34And Anthony Jennings' ex-girlfriend speaks out on the Can't Buy Me Love star's alleged
00:39betrayal.
00:40South Korean lawmakers call for the impeachment of President Yun Suk-kyo after he declared
01:03martial law late Tuesday, December 3.
01:06Yun reversed the move hours later after the country's parliament unanimously passed
01:10a motion requiring martial law be lifted.
01:13190 of the 300 members of parliament were present, including 18 members of Yun's party.
01:19A coalition of lawmakers from opposition parties say they plan to propose a bill to impeach
01:24Yun on Wednesday, which should be voted on within 72 hours.
01:29The surprise declaration ignited a standoff with the military.
01:33Officers at one point used fire extinguishers and office furniture to prevent troops from
01:36entering parliament.
01:38Yun had told the nation in a TV address martial law was needed to defend the country from
01:42nuclear-armed North Korea and pro-North anti-state forces, but he cited no specific threats.
01:48South Korea's largest union coalition, the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions, said
01:53thousands of its members will strike until Yun resigns.
01:58Vice President Sara Duterte now faces her second impeachment complaint filed by progressive
02:03organizations with the House of Representatives Wednesday, December 4.
02:07They want Duterte indicted for betrayal of public trust, which is a ground for impeachment
02:11under the 1987 constitution.
02:14These are the allegations.
02:25The second complaint has over 70 signatories, including former lawmakers Teddy Casino, Liza
02:30Maza, Neri Colmenares, Sara Hilago, Antonio Tinio, and Sator Ocampo.
02:35It is endorsed by the Makabayan Bloc, consisting of ACT Teachers' Rep. Franz Castro, Gabriela
02:40Rep. Arlene Brosas, and Kabataan Rep. Raul Manuel.
02:45The filing comes days after civic organizations led by former Sen. Laila de Lima initiated
02:50the first-ever impeachment effort against the vice president.
02:53It was endorsed by first-time lawmaker Percy Sendanya of the party-list group Akbayan.
02:59The Philippine Coast Guard reports, Chinese Navy and Coast Guard vessels took aggressive
03:03actions against a routine patrol by the PCG and the Fisheries Bureau.
03:08The incident happened at Scarborough Shoal in the West Philippine Sea.
03:11The PCG spokesperson says Chinese Coast Guard vessels fired water cannons and sideswiped
03:16Philippine vessels, causing them to face blocking, shadowing, and dangerous maneuvers.
03:21But China's Coast Guard has an entirely different narrative.
03:24It claims four Philippine ships attempted to enter China's territorial waters around
03:28Scarborough Shoal.
03:29China Coast Guard spokesperson Liu Dejun says Philippine ships, quote-unquote, dangerously
03:34approached its Coast Guard normal law enforcement patrol vessels, prompting China to exercise
03:39control over their counterparts.
03:41The incident follows a diplomatic spat in November after China drew territorial water
03:45baselines around the shoal, which Beijing claims as Huangyan Island.
03:51The Oxford University Press names Brain Rot as 2024's Word of the Year, highlighting
03:56concerns about the impact of excessive consumption of low-quality online content.
04:01The term, first used in 1854 in Henry David Thoreau's book Walden, refers to the deterioration
04:07of a person's mental or intellectual state due to overconsumption of trivial or unchallenging
04:12material.
04:13Oxford says Brain Rot gains significance in the digital age, particularly on social media
04:17platforms like TikTok among Gen Z and Gen Alpha communities.
04:21The word also associates with popular words like Skibidi and Ohio, which reflect a growing
04:26trend of words originating from viral online culture before spreading online into the real
04:31world.
04:32U.S. mental health group Newport Institute says some mental health concerns on Brain
04:36Rot include difficulty organizing information, problem-solving, decision-making, and recalling
04:42information.
04:43Limiting screen time, deleting distracting apps, and turning off unnecessary notifications
04:47are recommended to prevent Brain Rot.
04:52Anthony Jennings' ex-girlfriend Jan Villanueva speaks out on social media about the Can't
04:56Buy Me Love star's alleged betrayal.
04:59Villanueva points to Jennings' co-star Maryse Rackal as the third party.
05:03On her Instagram stories, Villanueva shares screenshots of Jennings' private messages
05:07with Rackal, claiming the affair began before a brand event.
05:11The screenshots showed raunchy text messages between the actors.
05:15Jennings allegedly explained to his girlfriend that his relationship with Rackal was merely
05:19for work, often passing off their encounters as method acting.
05:23On her birthday, Rackal posted an Instagram story of Jennings smiling while holding a
05:27cake.
05:28That prompted Villanueva to check Jennings' phone and found messages of Rackal and Jennings
05:33saying they'll miss each other.
05:35When the photo from Rackal's birthday went viral, Jennings asked Villanueva to make her
05:39social media private and promised to stop everything between him and Rackal.
05:43But the two continued to text and share photos of themselves kissing.
05:46Rackal and Jennings have yet to address the issue, but Rackal disabled commenting on her
05:51Instagram posts.
05:54And that's today's wrap.
