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.
