[00:00:13]Good evening. Today is May 22nd, and you're watching the Manila Times News Prime. Our top story, the PNP warns that anyone who will help prevent the arrest of Senator But all the La Rosa will also be arrested.

[00:00:27]There is an arrest warrant for the senator.

[00:00:30]It was issued by the International Criminal Court in connection with his alleged involvement in the war against illegal drugs during the presidency of Rodrigo Duterte.

[00:00:41]CIDG Director Robert Alexander Modico says that aiding a fugitive is an obstruction of justice. And we will be arresting people, especially coming from if there are I don't know, resorts, houses, or subdivision, guards who will prevent us from implementing this warrant of arrest, we will be arresting them for obstruction of justice.

[00:01:07]All PNP units were ordered to apply maximum tolerance and professionalism in the manhunt for Senator But all the La Rosa.

[00:01:16]This was disclosed by PNP Chief Oscar Albayalde. PNP tracker teams have been deployed to serve the International Criminal Court's arrest warrant against De La Rosa.

[00:01:28]He stressed to police personnel that operational discipline is paramount.

[00:01:33]The PNP chief says there will be no shortcuts.

[00:01:37]He says every movement will be heavily aligned with existing protocols to protect constitutional rights.

[00:01:45]This month's early rains have exposed gaps in Metro Manila's flood control readiness. This was revealed by MMDA General Manager Jojo Garcia.

[00:01:55]He noted that several areas were flooded even after a relatively light rainfall.

[00:02:01]This despite pre-season desilting and estero cleanup operations.

[00:02:06]Torres stressed the need to tighten inspections of drainage systems, pumping stations, and private infrastructure linked to flooding incidents.

[00:02:17]Torres said the agency is now applying a surgical inspection approach. They are now targeting specific flood-prone locations to determine whether the cause lies in waterways, drainage systems, or pumping station capacity.

[00:02:35]Filipino workers are the second happiest in the workplace in the Asia-Pacific region.

[00:02:41]That's according to a report by the recruitment site JobStreet.

[00:02:45]The report showed that 77% of Filipino employees are extremely and somewhat happy in their workplace.

[00:02:52]18% are neutral, 3% are somewhat unhappy, while 2% are extremely unhappy.
