00:44Pope Leo appeared on the central balcony of St. Peter's Basilica after white smoke rose from a chimney atop the Sistine Chapel
00:51Signifying the 133 cardinal electors had chosen a new leader
00:56He greets the cheering crowd, speaking in fluent Italian
01:00He also mentions Pope Francis, who gave his final blessing to the crowds in Rome on Easter Sunday
01:08The day before he died of a stroke after battling double pneumonia for weeks
01:13He is the first American to be named Pope
01:15Reacting to the news, Trump said at the White House
01:18To have the Pope from the United States of America, that's a great honor
01:22Originally from Chicago, he has spent most of his career as a missionary in Peru and has dual Peruvian nationality
01:28When Trump had a meeting with El Salvador President Nayib Bukele to discuss using a prison where alleged human rights abuses took place
01:36Prevost reposted a comment that included
01:38Do you not see the suffering? Is your conscience not disturbed?
01:42In February, then Cardinal Prevost shared an article with the caption
01:46He became a cardinal only in 2023 and has given few media interviews and rarely speaks in public
01:57He moved to the Vatican in 2023 after Francis named him in charge of choosing bishops
02:03Prevost said after the promotion
02:05As a priest, Pope Leo XIV had already visited the Philippines several times
02:14He was in Cebu in 2004 to bless an Augustinian friary
02:18A Social Weather Stations or SWS survey done from May 2 to 6, just days before the May 12 elections
02:26Shows a close race for most of the 12 Senate seats
02:29Administration's late bet Erwin Tulfo ranks first with a preference rating of 45%
02:35Close behind is Senator Bongo, a former aide to ex-president Rodrigo Duterte with 43%
02:42These results are a shift from a similar survey done last month that showed Goh in the lead
02:47Former Senate President Tito Soto, also part of the Alianza para sa Bagong Pilipinas, ranked third with 37%
02:54The gap between Goh and Soto was the widest among the magic 12 in the SWS survey
02:59With at least a 6 percentage point difference
03:02After Tulfo, Goh, and Soto, they are
03:05Re-electionist Sen. Lito Lapid, broadcaster Ben Tulfo, former Sen. Ping Lacson,
03:10Makati Mayor Abby Binay, re-electionist Bato De La Rosa, Las Piñas Rep. Camille Villar,
03:16and re-electionist Senators Pia Cayetano, Bongravilla, and Aimee Marcos
03:21The lone two candidates associated with the once-ruling Liberal Party,
03:25former Senators Bam Aquino and Kiko Pangilinan, ranked 16th and 17th respectively
03:30Vice President Sara Duterte, who refuses to answer corruption allegations,
03:36says during the meeting de avance of the Partido Demokratico Pilipino Lakas ng Bayan Slate,
03:41Filipinos are paying the price for electing the wrong leader
03:44She also urges the public to vote straight for the Duterte and Senatorial Slate
03:49Sa kasamaang palad, iniloklok natin ang isang leader na walang kakayahang maintindihan
03:57ang tunay na kalagayan ng mga Pilipino
04:01At higit sa lahat, hindi kayang magdesisyon para sa kapakanan ng sambayanan
04:16Duterte's statement seemed to target President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.,
04:20as she said the leader she referred to had refused to take a hair follicle drug test in public
04:25Marcos has rejected calls for him to undergo a hair follicle drug test,
04:29saying it is not related to the principle that public office is a public trust
04:34During the campaign rally, Sara Duterte also thanked her supporters
