MCT DAILY BRIEF
Good evening. A Quezon City court has ordered the arrest of Vice President Sara Duterte in a criminal case arising from her 2024 remarks, a major legal development that must not be confused with either a conviction or the separate impeachment trial. The day's official figures also show inflation easing only slightly. In the Visayas and Mindanao, thin power reserves triggered red alerts, while Mayon's unusually high gas output kept nearby communities on guard. A nationwide change may also make the government's milestone cash gift easier for qualified senior citizens to claim.
