00:12 A recent survey shows President Marcos' trust rating dropped significantly in Mindanao.

00:18 Cyberattacks hit businesses linked to House Speaker Martin Numbaldes.

00:22 The Philippines transitions to online voting for most overseas Filipinos in 2025.

00:27 Military troops leave Gaza's Shifa Hospital in rubble.

00:30 And a study finds dogs can associate words with objects.

00:35 A survey by Pulse Asia shows President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. lost significant ground in Mindanao.

00:41 The pollster's March survey reports a 32-point drop in the president's trust rating in the

00:46 region.

00:47 His number suffered across all key geographic areas, losing 21 percentage points in Metro

00:52 Manila, 19 percentage points in the Visayas, and 5 points in Luzon.

00:57 Marcos' nationwide trust rating slides down to 57 percent from 73 percent in December.

01:03 The president's cousin, Speaker Martin Rumwaldez, is not spared.

01:06 His trust rating slides down to 31 percent in March from 40 percent in December.

01:12 Meantime, another Pulse Asia survey reports Sen. Rafi Tulfo and Vice President Sara Duterte

01:17 are top choices for the 2028 presidential race.

01:20 Other personalities in the list are former Vice President Lenny Robredo, Sen. Amy Marcos,

01:25 former Sen. Manny Pacquiao, Sen. Robin Padilla, Sen. Ysonte Veras, and Rumwaldez.

01:33 Cyberattacks defaced the websites for three businesses linked to House Speaker Martin

01:37 Rumwaldez, Prime Media Holdings, Mark Ventures Holdings, Inc., and Bright Kindle Resources

01:43 and Investments, Inc.

01:45 An online group, Deep Web Connect, posted about the attacks on Facebook last March 24.

01:50 The attacks were verified by a way of archived pages of the attacked sites on Wayback Machine.

01:56 The snapshots from March 24 for the three defaced sites showed a political message saying

02:01 it was seized by the Filipino people.

02:03 The defaced sites also had a message denouncing charter change and political dynasties.

02:08 The op-ed's hashtag on the defaced page linked to a longer text message against political

02:13 dynasties and oligarchy and called for political change.

02:17 As of Tuesday, April 2, the sites for the three businesses remain offline and inaccessible.

02:25 Online voting will be the primary mode of casting ballots for overseas Filipinos in

02:29 the 2025 midterm elections, except in countries with internet restrictions.

02:34 Commission on Elections spokesman Rex Laudianco says mail-in and physical voting will likely

02:38 be implemented in only around 17 countries, including China, Russia, Syria, and Israel.

02:44 Comelec is eyeing the use of a mobile application with identity authentication features, which

02:49 overseas Filipinos can download on their devices.

02:52 While the details of the exact technology are currently unclear, Laudianco assures the

02:56 app will have "authentication and enrollment features, which will confirm, audit, and record

03:01 not only one's registration and enrollment, but also the casting, counting, and canvassing

03:06 of votes."

03:07 Comelec says the move will save hundreds of millions of pesos since it would no longer

03:11 have to ship voting machines to countries.

03:13 Israeli forces leave al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza on Monday, April 1, after a two-week

03:20 operation by special forces who detained hundreds of suspected Hamas militants and left a wasteland

03:26 of destroyed buildings.

03:28 Palestinian officials call the raid on a hospital a war crime, while Israeli officials say special

03:32 forces units conducted a targeted strike against a Hamas stronghold deliberately located among

03:38 vulnerable civilians.

03:39 The Israeli military says 6,200 Palestinian civilians had been sheltering in the complex,

03:45 one of few locations in the north of Gaza with some access to electricity and water.

03:50 The Gaza Media office says Israeli forces had killed 400 Palestinians in and around

03:55 the hospital, including a woman doctor and her son, also a doctor, and put the facility

04:00 out of action.

04:01 A study finds, "Dogs are able to understand that some words refer to objects in a way

04:08 that is similar to humans."

04:09 The study, which analyzed brain activity in 18 dogs, provides evidence that dogs can activate

04:15 a memory of an object when they hear its name.

04:17 The study was carried out at the Otvos Loran University in Budapest and published in the

04:21 journal Current Biology.

04:23 During the study, dog owners said words for objects their pets knew.

04:27 In some cases, they would present the dog with an object that matched the word, while

04:31 in other cases, the object didn't match.

04:34 The results find that the patterns in the dogs' brains when the words matched the objects

04:38 were different compared to when they didn't.

04:40 The researchers plan to examine if this ability to understand referential language is present

04:45 in other mammals as well.

04:46 And that's today's Wrap.
