01:44Former Vice President Leni Robredo warns the public against a person posing as her and

01:48soliciting donations for those affected by the floods in Naga.

01:52She posts on Facebook Wednesday, October 23, she and non-governmental organization

01:57Angat Buhay Pilipinas authorized only the Kayanatin Movement to receive cash donations

02:02on behalf of her team in Naga.

02:04Angat Buhay is currently accepting donations in kind at its headquarters in Quezon City.

02:08Kayanatin is an NGO chaired by former Senator Bam Aquino who managed Robredo's presidential

02:13campaign in 2022.

02:34A former follower of Preacher Apollo Kibuloy testifies before the Senate recounting her

02:39sexual abuse by the pastor.

02:41Kibuloy was present at the hearing, his first appearance since the Senate began its probe

02:45into allegations of Kingdom of Jesus Christ abuse of its members.

02:49Former KOJC member Teresita Valdehueza recounts how Kibuloy invited her to Cebu under the

02:54pretense of a divine revelation where she was sexually abused.

02:58I finally clearly understood that the man I had believed to be God's chosen and holy

03:06was an imposter, oppressor, and deceiver.

03:10Valdehueza is the latest alleged victim of Kibuloy who came forward with testimonies

03:14of sexual abuse.

03:16The doomsday pastor has been in police custody since September 8 and faces charges of sexual

03:21abuse of a minor and child abuse.

03:23Kibuloy is also wanted in the U.S. for a slew of charges.

03:32Another former policeman confirms former President Rodrigo Duterte's drug war offered cash incentives

03:38in exchange for killings.

03:39Retired Police Colonel Edelberto Leonardo, in a hearing of the House Quad Committee,

03:43replied in the affirmative when asked if he believed there was a reward system.

03:47But Leonardo claims later his answer was based on stories he heard from colleagues in the

03:51police force.

03:53Retired Police Colonel Ruyina Garma, in an affidavit, claims Duterte called her in May

03:572016, telling her he, quote,

03:59"...needed someone capable of implementing the war on drugs on a national scale, replicating

04:04the Davao model."

04:05The Davao model refers to a system of payment rewarding successful killings.

04:10Leonardo later corroborated Garma's affidavits but clarified it was Oplan Double Barrel which

04:15operationalized the drug war.

04:17But he confirmed that as head of the CIDG in Davao region, he validated drug war-related

04:22information for Senator Bong Go, who directly reported to Duterte.

04:28Sportico reports Golden State Warriors star guard Stephen Curry is projected to bring

04:32in the most money among NBA players this season.

04:36Curry is expected to make roughly $155.8 million from his salary and off-court endeavors, exceeding

04:42LeBron James' $133.7 million.

04:46This ends James' 11-season streak as the highest earner.

04:49Among the companies Curry endorses are JP Morgan Chase, Panini, and Fanatics.

04:54Curry also founded a media business and a venture capital firm.

04:58Milwaukee Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo is on track to be the third highest earner with

05:02$103.8 million.
