00:13 First Lady Liza Araneta Marcos slams Vice President Sara Duterte in her latest interview.

00:18 More than 1,500 Chinese are granted student visas in Cagayan, Philippines in 2023.

00:24 And pop star Taylor Swift releases her 11th studio album, "The Tortured Poets Department."

00:31 First Lady Liza Araneta Marcos slams Vice President Sara Duterte

00:35 In her conversation with radio personality Antonita Berna, the First Lady says Duterte

00:40 quote, "crossed the line."

00:42 The rift began after Sara attended a protest in Davao against charter change in January,

00:47 where former President Rodrigo Duterte accused President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. of drug use.

00:53 The First Lady says she saw the Vice President laugh at her father's jab in one of the video

00:57 feeds, and that did not sit well with her.

01:00 She says, "You are getting salary from the government, you are supposed to be the alter

01:04 ego.

01:05 That's not right.

01:06 That's entitled politics.

01:07 You're in the government, you're the vice president, I have a bone to pick with her."

01:11 The tensions between the First Lady and the Second-in-Command are not exactly surprising.

01:16 They also ignored or declined requests for comment on the status of their relationship

01:20 since January.

01:24 More than 1,500 Chinese are granted student visas in Cagayan, a province in northern Philippines,

01:29 in 2023.

01:31 Immigration Commissioner Norman Tancinko says the Chinese were endorsed by a Philippine

01:35 university.

01:36 But they also received reports only 400 Chinese are on site because the school is said to

01:41 be implementing distance learning.

01:43 Tancinko says the rise in the number of foreign students may be attributed to post-pandemic

01:48 rebound and to the "aggressive marketing of schools and government agencies to boost the

01:53 country's educational tourism."

01:55 Earlier, senators urged the Commission on Higher Education to investigate the "degree

02:00 for sale" scheme in Cagayan.

02:02 Chinese students allegedly paid up to P2 million in exchange for a degree.

02:06 But heads of schools in the region say the insinuations are not only baseless but also

02:11 deeply offensive and are a blatant display of racism and xenophobia.

02:17 Pop star Taylor Swift releases her 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, and

02:22 reveals it is a secret double album.

02:25 The first installment of the album contains 16 tracks, while the second installment, titled

02:29 "TTPD The Anthology," has 15 extra songs.

02:33 The album also features artists Post Malone and Florence and the Machine in the tracks

02:38 "Fortnite" and "Florida," respectively, in the album's first installment.

02:42 Taylor says the album is an anthology of new works that reflect events, opinions, and sentiments

02:47 from a fleeting and fatalistic moment in time, one that was both sensational and sorrowful

02:52 in equal measure.

02:53 The release of The Tortured Poets Department comes just six months after Taylor dropped

02:58 1989 Taylor's version, which included five songs from The Vault.
