00:13 Filipinos online poke fun at Bamban Mayor Alice Goez, hindi ko na po maalala through
00:17 memes.
00:19 The Pangilinan group restores water supply in Cagayan de Oro after President Marcos stepped
00:23 in.
00:24 Philippine volleyball star Eliza Valdez says she is far from done with the volleyball courts.
00:30 And Filipino gymnastics star Carlos Yulo bags the individual all-around gold medal in the

00:39 Filipinos online have a field day making fun of the evasive mayor of Bamban, Tarlac, Alice
00:44 Goez, as she stuck to her claim during a Senate hearing that she does not remember details
00:48 about her past.
00:50 Goez said she could not remember where she was born, the reason behind the 17-year delay
00:54 in her birth registration, and the homeschool program she was under.
00:58 "Sa pagkaalam po kasi namin, 17 years old na po kayo nung i-register yung inyong birth.
01:05 Saan po yung bahay ninyo nung ipinanganak kayo?"
01:08 "Your Honor, hindi ko na po alam."
01:11 Goez, a first-time mayor, attended the Senate hearing because of information linking her
01:15 to illegal pogo activities.
01:18 Some used pop-cultural references such as the hit movie "My Amnesia Girl" and the TV
01:22 anthology "Maalala Mo Kaya."
01:25 Others used Goez' reply to relate to situations such as spending one's salary and reviewing
01:30 for an exam, among others.
01:33 The Pangilinan Group restores water supply in Cagayan de Oro after President Fernando
01:38 Marcos Jr. stepped in.
01:40 The tap water shortage in 13 villages ends following talks between Marcos and business
01:45 tycoon Manny V. Pangilinan of Metro Pacific Water, the controlling entity behind COBI.
01:51 The supply from Cagayan de Oro Bulk Water Incorporated, or COBI, accounts for nearly
01:56 half of the treated water the Cagayan de Oro Water District, or COWD, has been distributing
02:02 in CDO and parts of Misamis Oriental.
02:04 COBI turned off the water supply on Tuesday, May 14.
02:09 Metro Pacific Water says the move was voluntary and had nothing to do with the CDO court's
02:13 temporary restraining order.
02:15 COBI and COWD have been in a dispute over a debt amounting to 500 million pesos.
02:22 The amount mostly represents the price difference when the supplier implemented water rate adjustments
02:26 in 2021 and early 2024.
02:31 Philippine volleyball star Aliza Valdez says she is far from done with the volleyball courts.
02:36 In a Rappler Talks Sports interview, she shares she is well aware that she has not been in
02:40 her best form for quite some time.
02:42 "Well, as of now, my top priority is to be back 100 percent.
02:48 Hopefully, it will happen soon.
02:50 I can't say how long we will play, but definitely I want to play 100 percent before we say goodbye
03:01 to the volleyball court.
03:04 Not to the volleyball community, but to the volleyball court."
03:07 She has had low moments this past PVL conference, but the Creamline superstar also showed flashes
03:12 of vintage dominance.
03:14 Despite an injury-hampered one-point performance in the finals Game 2, she scored 21 points
03:20 against Chocomucho in the semifinals.
03:24 Filipino gymnastics star Carlos Yulo opens the Men's Artistic Gymnastics Asian Championships
03:29 by capturing the individual all-around crown on Thursday, May 16.
03:34 He totals 84.931 points out of the six apparatuses as he ramps up his preparations for the Paris
03:40 Olympics.
03:42 With this latest triumph, Yulo raises his golden tally in the Continental Championships
03:46 to seven, on top of two silvers and one bronze.
03:50 Before he went to the Asian Championships, Yulo cut ties with his management group KG,
03:55 which was formed by his former Japanese coach, Munihiro Kugimiya.
03:58 "When I moved here to the Philippines, a Filipino manager took over.
04:06 And that's when the mismanagement started."
04:10 His younger brother, Eldrew, will compete in the junior division.
04:15 And that's today's Wrap.
