00:13 President Marcos Jr. calls on Filipinos to "transcend political barriers" on Ninoy

00:17 Aquino Day.

00:19 Ninoy Aquino's daughter, Balzi, thanks supporters who did not leave their family after all these

00:24 years.

00:25 The MMDA apprehends motorcyclists who use the bike lanes along EDSA.

00:30 An IBM study says 1.4 billion in the global workforce will have to be reskilled in the

00:35 next three years due to AI.

00:37 Following her World Cup win, Spain captain Olga Carmona finds out her father died.

00:43 Actress Isa Calzado opens up about her battle with a parasitic disease during pregnancy.

00:49 And Liza Soberano and other Filipino celebrities open up about being body-shamed.

00:56 President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. calls on Filipinos to "transcend political barriers" on the 40th

01:02 death anniversary of Benigno Ninoy Aquino Jr., the opposition senator who stood bravely

01:07 against the dictatorship of his father and namesake.

01:10 In his official message, Marcos says he stands united with all Filipinos worldwide, adding

01:16 Ninoy "became an example of relentlessness and resolve for many Filipinos by standing

01:21 for his beliefs and fighting for battles he deemed right."

01:25 August 21 is Ninoy Aquino Day, the death anniversary of the late senator which led to the February

01:30 1986 people power revolution.

01:33 Marcos Jr. did not explicitly mention the event that ousted his family from the presidential

01:37 palace, but instead made general calls for unity, collaboration, and progress.

01:45 The eldest child of democracy icons Ninoy and Cory Aquino, Balcy Aquino Cruz, fought

01:50 back tears as she thanked supporters who have not left them after all these years.

01:55 Aquino Cruz delivers the closing message Monday, August 21, in a mass for Ninoy on his 40th

02:00 death anniversary.

02:01 Ninoy was assassinated on August 21, 1983, right after he exited the plane that brought

02:08 him back to the Philippines.

02:09 To you, our fellow Filipinos, who joined us today, when being seen with Aquinos is not

02:17 exactly in fashion during this time, thank you for being one with us today in remembering

02:28 Ninoy Aquino.

02:29 An Aquino last held power from 2010 to 2016 when Ninoy and Cory's only son, Benigno

02:35 "Noy-Noy" Aquino III, was Philippine president.

02:38 Since then, their political capital has significantly diminished as allies tied to the Liberal Party

02:43 suffered losses in the 2019 and 2022 elections.

02:50 The Metro Manila Development Authority begins to apprehend motorcycle riders using bike

02:54 lanes along EDSA.

02:56 The MMDA observed a high number of motorcycles using bike lanes, preventing cyclists from

03:02 using the lane intended for them.

03:04 The MMDA stresses the bike lane is not a fast lane for motorcycle riders.

03:09 Violators will be fined for disregarding traffic signs, which comes with a 1,000-peso fine.

03:14 Recently, San Juan City removed the bollards along bike lanes in parts of Ortigas Avenue

03:19 upon the recommendation of the MMDA.

03:22 This drew criticism from bike advocates, who argue it compromises the safety of bikers

03:27 for the convenience of motor vehicles.

03:31 A new study by computing giant IBM finds about 40% of the global workforce, or about 1.4

03:38 billion, will have to be reskilled in the next three years.

03:42 87% of executives surveyed agree reskilling will be necessary as job roles will be augmented

03:49 rather than outright replaced by AI.

03:52 Entry-level jobs will experience the heaviest impact by 2025.

03:56 IBM says, "AI won't replace people, but people who use AI will replace people who don't."

04:03 People skills have increased in importance, with time management skills and ability to

04:07 prioritize, ability to work in team environments, and ability to communicate effectively rising

04:14 to the top three spots.

04:16 Basic computer and software application skills, which was the second most important skill

04:20 in 2016, also dropped to 11th place in 2023 as technology becomes more user-friendly.

04:30 The Spanish FA says Spain captain and World Cup final hero Olga Carmona finds out after

04:36 the match that her father had died.

04:38 Carmona scored a 29th-minute goal to clinch a 1-0 win over England and secure Spain's

04:44 first Women's World Cup title.

04:46 The Spanish FA says, "We send our most sincere embrace to Olga and her family in a moment

04:52 of deep sorrow.

04:53 We love you, Olga.

04:54 You are Spanish soccer history."

04:56 An RFEF spokesperson tells Reuters Carmona's father had been fighting a long illness and

05:02 died on Friday.

05:04 Carmona writes on X, "I know you have been watching me tonight and that you are proud

05:08 of me.

05:09 Rest in peace, Dad."

05:10 Spanish media outlet Relevo reports Carmona's family and friends decided not to tell her

05:16 so that she could focus on the most important match of her life.

05:22 Isa Palzado opens up about being diagnosed with a serious medical condition during her

05:26 pregnancy with daughter Thea Amihan.

05:30 She shares on Instagram how she fought for her and her baby's well-being after receiving

05:34 the news she contracted a parasitic disease called toxoplasmosis.

05:39 While most people infected with the parasite do not have symptoms, the disease can affect

05:44 infants and people with weakened immune systems.

05:47 She writes, "For the first time in my life, I felt a very primal urge to fight, not only

05:52 for myself, but for another human.

05:54 For you, Anak."

05:55 Isa says, thankfully, the infection didn't pass through her placenta and her child was

06:00 safe.

06:01 Isa and Ben tied the knot at the Palawan beach wedding in December 2018.

06:05 They welcomed their first child in January.

06:10 Female celebrities fight back against the body shaming and negativity they experience

06:14 in their careers.

06:16 Actress Liza Soberano in a recent interview opened up that her weight is her "number

06:21 one insecurity."

06:23 She revealed rumors about her being pregnant due to "gaining a little bit of weight"

06:28 affected her mental health.

06:30 Actor Gabby Garcia told body shamers, "Must we have a beach body forever?

06:34 What year is it, guys?

06:36 A little character development, please."

06:38 Angel Luxin in an interview with Boy Abunda says, "I'm okay with how I am, and this

06:43 is my body."

06:44 Miss Universe 2018's Catriona Gray, despite an international beauty title, was body shamed

06:50 in July 2019 by a Thai beauty queen who called her fat.

06:54 In a tweet, she says, "Body shaming is hurtful and should never be tolerated."

06:59 And that's today's wrap.

07:02 I'm Marguerite De Leon.
