China urges citizens not to visit Japan over Taiwan row

"Taiwan is China's Taiwan," ministry spokesperson Lin Jian told a press briefing on Monday, adding that China would not "tolerate any foreign interference" on the matter.

Co, once a key Marcos ally, resigned in late September after claiming his family faced “real, direct, grave and imminent” threats amid the flood control investigations.
“I hope I don’t get killed before I am able to reveal everything I know,” he said in the six-minute video. “[The president] told me, ‘I will shoot you if you talk.’”

“I received no money, and all the insertions went to the president and Speaker Martin Romualdez,” Co said in the video.

Co also said that he, his aides, and security personnel only delivered the money to the houses of Marcos and Romualdez in the North and South Forbes Park and in Malacañang Palace.

Co claimed that he asked the Department of Public Works and Highways how much “SOP” he was supposed to give the “OP” (Office of the President) with the P100-billion budget insertion, and he was supposedly told, “25%.” He did not name anyone from the DPWH.

“Ang ibig sabihin nito, 25% ng P100 billion ang SOP na kailangan ibigay kay BBM mismo. In total, P25 billion ang napunta kay Pangulong Bongbong Marcos,” Co claimed.

(This means that 25% of P100 billion is the SOP that has to be given to BBM himself. In total, P25 billion went to President Bongbong Marcos.)
