00:14Sandro Marcos says Sara Duterte crossed the line when she verbally attacked his father
00:18and grandfather.
00:20Former Senator Laila de Lima says Philippine authorities can't give way to the ICC with
00:24or without membership.
00:26Interior Secretary John Vic Remulia recommends reducing the number of police generals from
00:30133 to 25.
00:33Baggages are left behind at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 as its baggage
00:37handling system malfunctions.
00:39And the youngest son of Singapore's Lee Kuan Yew says he is now a political refugee.
00:46Presidential Son-in-House Senior Deputy Majority Leader Sandro Marcos says Vice President Sara
00:51Duterte crossed the line when she attacked his father and grandfather.
00:55Calling it a bizarre temper tantrum, Sandro says the nation is horrified by her insensitivity
00:59towards the dead and cruelty to the living.
01:02Duterte admitted she once imagined decapitating Marcos in a two-hour press briefing last week.
01:07She also threatened to dig up the late dictator's remains from the Heroes Cemetery and dump
01:11it into the West Philippine Sea.
01:14Marcos Jr. and Sara Duterte ran as a tandem in 2022, but she resigned from the cabinet
01:18in June.
01:20Duterte accuses Marcos' allies in the House of Representatives of plotting her impeachment.
01:26Former Senator Laila de Lima says there is no fighting for jurisdiction when it comes
01:30to the International Criminal Court investigation into the killings under Rodrigo Duterte.
01:34De Lima tells the House Quad Committee that the Domestic International Humanitarian Law
01:38or Republic Act 9851 allows Philippine authorities to give way to the ICC with or without membership
01:44in the ICC.
01:46Crimes against humanity, which is the alleged crime being investigated by the ICC prosecutor,
01:51is among the crimes punishable under the IHL.
01:54There's a debate on whether the Philippines has an obligation to cooperate with the ICC
01:58in light of the Philippines' withdrawal in 2018.
02:16Newly minted Interior Secretary John Vic Remulia recommends to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
02:25the number of police generals be trimmed down from 133 to 25.
02:29Remulia says the PNP is top-heavy and in need of streamlining to flatten the administration.
02:38Under Remulia's proposed policy, those affected will be encouraged to take early retirement
02:42by next year.
02:43When asked if the move might demoralize personnel, Remulia said,
02:46They are all soldiers.
02:47They follow orders.
02:49Remulia points to the civil service rules requiring promotion every three years as contributing
02:53to the top-heavy structure.
02:54To address this, he proposes extending the promotion timeline to five years to slow down
02:59career progression in the PNP.
03:03Baggages are being left behind at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 due
03:07to its malfunctioning 20-year-old baggage handling system.
03:10Cebu Pacific says,
03:11As of 1.15 p.m. on October 22, 821 checked-in bags had been left behind at the terminal
03:17while owners had already reached their destinations.
03:20New NIA Infrastructure Corporation or NNIC notes,
03:23NIA 3's baggage handling system encountered a malfunction, affecting the processing of
03:28passengers' checked-in baggage since Friday, October 18.
03:31Cebu Pacific adds,
03:33Passengers on domestic flights can either have their bags delivered to their destination
03:36or have their bags picked up at the airport.
03:39Meanwhile, passengers with international destinations have similar options, on top
03:43of delivery services for those with onward destinations.
03:46San Miguel-led NNIC says it has been working in phases to modernize the airport's facilities
03:50and critical systems since it took over NIA management and operations last September 14.
03:58Lee Hsien Yang, the youngest son of the founder of Modern Singapore, Lee Kuan Yew, says he
04:03is now a political refugee from Singapore under the UN Refugee Convention.
04:07In a Facebook post, Lee said Britain has determined he faces a well-founded risk of
04:11persecution and cannot safely return to Singapore.
04:14Lee Hsien Yang and his sister Lee Wei Ling, who died on October 9, have been at odds with
04:18their brother over what to do with their father's home after his death in 2015.
04:22Their brother is Lee Hsien Loong, who was Premier from 2004 until May this year.
04:26Channel News Asia reports, Singapore's government said the persecution claim is baseless and
04:30unfounded.
04:33And that's today's wrap.
