00:14Mary Jane Veloso's father asks President Marcos to keep his daughter safe.

00:19House lawmakers side in contempt and detain Vice President Sara Duterte's chief of staff.

00:23The United States vetoes a United Nations Security Council resolution on a ceasefire

00:28in Gaza.

00:29Pope Francis is set to canonize Italian millennial Carlo Acutis in April 2025.

00:34And Liam Payne's former One Direction bandmates attend his funeral.

00:40The father of Mary Jane Veloso, the Filipina on Indonesian death row about to be transferred

00:44to the Philippines, appeals to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.

00:48Please keep her safe from her illegal recruiter.

00:50In a DZBB radio interview, Cesar Veloso first appealed to Marcos for clemency.

00:56But he says,

00:57If he must still detain her, I hope they keep her in a safe place because we are afraid.

01:01Cristina Serio threatened us about how they were part of an international syndicate.

01:05Cristina Serio is one of Mary Jane's recruiters who facilitated her journey to Yogyakarta

01:10in 2010.

01:11Serio's partner, Julius Lakanilaw, handed Mary Jane a suitcase lined with heroin, which

01:16she unwittingly carried to Indonesia.

01:19Serio and Lakanilaw were found guilty of illegal recruitment in a separate case and were sentenced

01:24to life imprisonment.

01:25Still, the Veloso family fears retribution from the international syndicate behind Serio

01:30and Lakanilaw.

01:33The House Good Government Committee cites Vice President Sara Duterte's Chief of Staff,

01:37Zulaika Lopez, in contempt.

01:39Lopez's detention was also ordered due to her undue interference in proceedings.

01:43This after Lopez sent a letter to the Commission on Audit blocking the release of the Confidential

01:48Fund's report to lawmakers.

01:50Lopez tried to appeal to the panel to lift the contempt order, saying the letter was

01:54a respectful request to COA.

01:56There was no intention, Your Honor, to demand from them or to order them or to commandeer

02:02them into something that they did not want to do.

02:06Lopez explained she approached the matter from the perspective that the audit observations

02:10were not yet final.

02:12The letter, which he signed, stated the subject subpoena should not be complied with, citing

02:16violation of the constitutional principle of separation of powers.

02:21The House panel ordered Lopez's detention in their facility until Monday, November 25,

02:25the date of the next probe, into Duterte's alleged misuse of public funds.

02:31The United States on Wednesday, November 20, vetoed a UN Security Council resolution for

02:36a ceasefire in Israel's war in Gaza.

02:39The resolution called for an immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire and separately demanded

02:44the release of hostages.

02:46Part of the 15-member council, only the U.S. voted against, using its veto as a permanent

02:50council member.

02:52The resolution was put forward by 10 non-permanent members.

02:55The U.S. had said it would only support a resolution that explicitly calls for the immediate

02:59release of hostages as part of a ceasefire.

03:02U.S. officials accused council members of rejecting attempts at reaching a compromise.

03:07Israel's 13-month campaign in Gaza has killed nearly 44,000 people and displaced the population

03:13many times.

03:14It was a response to an October 7, 2023 attack by Hamas in Israel that killed 1,200 and captured

03:20250 hostages.

03:24Pope Francis is set to canonize Italian millennial Carlo Acutis in April 2025.

03:29On Wednesday, November 20, the pope said Acutis will be made saint during the weekend of April

03:3425 to 27.

03:36That weekend, the Vatican is celebrating a jubilee for adolescents as part of the Catholic

03:40Holy Year in Rome, which opens at the end of December.

03:44Dubbed as God's influencer, Acutis used to take care of his parish's website and a Vatican-based

03:49academy.

03:50He died of leukemia in 2006 at age 15.

03:54The pope also says he would canonize Pier Giorgio Frassati during the weekend of July

03:5928 to August 3.

04:00Frassati was a young Italian man who was known for helping those in need and died of polio

04:05in the 1920s.

04:09Former members of One Direction attended the funeral of their bandmate Liam Payne on Wednesday,

04:13November 20, just over a month after the singer died at age 31.

04:17Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan, and Louis Tomlinson joined Payne's family and

04:25friends for the private church service northwest of London.

04:29Payne's former partner, Cheryl Tweedy, with whom he had a son now aged seven, was seen

04:33leaving the service.

04:35The singer and songwriter was found dead after he fell from his hotel balcony in Buenos Aires,

04:40triggering an outpouring of grief from fans around the world.

04:43His coffin arrived at the church in a white carriage, drawn by two white horses and adorned

04:48with floral tributes spelling the words, Son and Daddy.

04:52One Direction was catapulted to global fame in 2010 after appearing on The X Factor and

04:57became one of the best-selling boy bands of all time.
