Transcript
00:00 Live from the GMA Network Center, this is "24 Horas."
00:06 Good evening, Paul Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
00:11 The Senate formally invited the group that was accused of cult
00:17 because it abuses the rights of the people and forces the minorities to get married.
00:22 The group will be sentenced to five days according to their leader,
00:25 who was forced to leave his house to prove that there are no weapons.
00:29 They will also ask the court to return the minorities who witnessed the group's fight.
00:36 From Surigao del Norte, this is Chino Gaston.
00:41 Mel, Vicky, Emil, the leadership and members of Socorro Bayanihan Services Incorporated
00:48 were again intimidated by the lies that were being thrown at them.
00:55 They are ready to defend themselves even if this will lead to a hearing in the Senate.
01:01 We are now at the scene of a civilian police that arrived and submitted a letter to Socorro Bayanihan Services.
01:11 This is an invitation from the Senate for this hearing on September 28.
01:16 We will go even if we don't have money so they can know what really happened
01:21 and what the whole community is. The whole organization is hurt.
01:24 The allegation that the senior Aguila, their minority member, was molested was false.
01:30 The organization is old and hurt. They are crying because there is no truth to that.
01:39 The group also denied the allegations of forcing the minorities to get married,
01:43 being involved in illegal drugs and having a private army.
01:47 According to the former member, they have a so-called Aguila
01:50 that is in the military training, hand-to-hand combat and using guns and weapons
01:56 to guard them whenever there are reports of police investigating the town.
02:01 What they are saying is that there is a different training,
02:05 the so-called Aguila members, cluster, that is training for like a rescue for emergency.
02:15 That's why when the storm hit, they were the ones going around.
02:19 We were also allowed inside the house of senior Aguila where they say the weapons are hidden.
02:24 Audio and video equipment were shown inside the boxes
02:29 for the performances of their dancing and singing groups and for the recording of their FM radio station.
02:35 Although we are not sure if they have released anything here before we arrived.
02:40 The bodies of the Commission of Human Rights were also brought to the scene of the crime to investigate.
02:46 According to the allegations, the members of the community are being stopped from going out
02:50 and the children are not allowed to bring them back.
02:53 My connected people and the members who live outside were also denied.
02:57 Sometimes I just go here, they supply their fish.
03:00 My parents live here.
03:03 That's why they like it here because they live with the farmers.
03:06 Their livelihood is good.
03:09 And they are safe here?
03:10 Safe.
03:11 According to my sources, I noticed the women's hair is curly and the men's hair is almost bald.
03:18 The neighbors told us that this is our hairstyle.
03:24 This is the design.
03:26 This woman approached while crying.
03:29 I am a child of the village.
03:32 We know how to take care of our children.
03:36 I am sure that I can help my children to go home.
03:40 But the minor child that was taken by the municipality is one of the witnesses against the group.
03:47 In the middle, they used the Wraith of Habeas Corpus to bring the child back to their power.
03:52 Like Norlyn, who is also sometimes in custody of the Socorro LGU to witness the fight against the group.
03:58 But she was recovered through the Wraith of Habeas Corpus.
04:02 We really fought her.
04:04 She studied in the village.
04:05 She lives with my parents.
04:07 She was taken by the so-called Kapihan Task Force.
04:12 Meanwhile, the group is calling on the local government of Socorro to talk to clarify the allegations
04:23 and to solve the few years of misunderstanding.
04:28 Vicky.
04:29 Thank you very much, Chino Gaston.
04:33 It's not a dollar, it's a chocolate.
04:36 It's the defense of the airport screener who was caught by the police in Naia after a foreigner lost his money.
04:44 The Transportation Department wants the suspects to be given a maximum penalty.
04:49 Joseph Mono is the one who was arrested.
04:51 The one who is in the center of the investigation now is the Office for Transportation Security or OTS in Naia.
05:00 The woman's personnel tried to hide the $300 that was lost in the wallet of the airport passenger who went through the security screening.
05:11 According to OTS Administrator Mau Aplasca, the woman denied it and said it was chocolate and not a dollar.
05:20 She submitted a supplemental that she attached to our investigation team.
05:26 It's like she just ate chocolate.
05:29 But the fact-finding team is in doubt.
05:31 It's not normal for a woman to eat chocolate.
05:35 It's so hard for her and she even pushed it.
05:37 And you don't need water.
05:39 And you don't need water.
05:40 That's what they believe, that it's not chocolate.
05:43 OTS filed a case of administrative grave misconduct with her supervisor and another airport screener who gave her water.
05:54 They were not called by OTS but they were given preventive suspension.
05:59 14 other OTS personnel, including those on duty, will also be investigated.
06:05 Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista wants to impose a maximum penalty on all those who are proven guilty.
06:11 Aside from the administrative case, the Office for Transportation Security or OTS is also investigating the harassment of criminal complaints against their people.
06:21 Theft or theft is a possible case against them.
06:24 But it's a big threat for OTS that the victim is no longer in the country.
06:28 It's embarrassing. This incident is making me angry again and again.
06:32 Maybe these people are thinking that the criminal case won't prosper because there's no complaint and they're not interested.
06:42 But we will create legal means.
06:45 Lawyers are now studying the possibility of a motion to remove the initiative of our office.
06:54 OIC Brian Co, the Manila International Airport Authority, was dismayed when he said that there's no place for airport frontliners who are putting everything on the line.
07:06 For GMA Integrated News, Joseph Morong, for 24 Hours.
07:12 The President urgently certified the bill to impose a maximum penalty on smuggling, hoarding and manipulation of agricultural products.
07:23 Ivan Mayrina was the one who made the decision.
07:25 After ordering a raid on rice warehouses in the middle of smuggling, hoarding and manipulation of prices,
07:34 President Bongbong Marcos wants to impose a maximum penalty on those behind him.
07:38 He certified the Senate Bill 2432 or Anti-Agricultural Economic Sabotage Act as urgent so that it can be quickly sabotaged.
07:46 Under the bill, economic sabotage will be considered as an artificial shortage,
07:51 pushing imports, manipulation of prices and supplies, avoidance of paying taxes,
07:57 and to gain a lot of income and enter into agreements against competition that is being conducted by the public,
08:05 including the punishment of drinking alcohol, life imprisonment,
08:09 and the fine of three times the value of smuggled or smuggled products.
08:13 If there's an official government, there's additional punishment of perpetual disqualification in government positions,
08:19 violation of voting rights and voting in elections, and violation of all benefits.
08:24 The industry of agriculture or rice is laughing at the hasty passing of a more strict law against smuggling.
08:31 The operation of smugglers and hoarders continues because within seven years,
08:36 170 cases of agricultural smuggling were filed, but 70% were trashed and only 7 cases were recovered.
08:45 For GMA Integrated News, Ivan Meirino, Kato-Tok, 24 Hours.
08:49 Some groups protested on the 51st anniversary of the declaration of martial law.
08:57 They called for a cheap purchase and stop where they attacked activists.
09:04 Jonathan Anga was live on Kato-Tok.
09:08 Jonathan?
09:09 Mel, the program here in Menjola is just ending.
09:15 The Manila Police District said that the protests here in Manila are generally peaceful
09:21 on the anniversary of the declaration of martial law.
09:25 Never again! Never again!
09:27 Never again! Never again!
09:29 Never again to martial law!
09:32 The protestors were in black on the 51st anniversary of the martial law,
09:37 a symbol of the dark and bleak history of the country.
09:41 It's like we're still alive in the year 1972.
09:46 Human rights have nothing to do with this regime.
09:50 Activist students, human rights groups, and people from various sectors of society
09:55 joined together in a clear protest.
09:58 Some of their calls for a cheap purchase and stop where they attacked activists,
10:05 like Jed Damano and Junila Castro,
10:07 were first reported missing and never turned up to the soldiers,
10:11 but later it was said that they were targeted by the military.
10:14 What happened back then, the dissenters during the time of Marcos were targeted,
10:20 that's why the term "disapparicidos" came up, the "disappeared".
10:24 This is the lesson of history that we should not forget.
10:28 After the program, they marched towards Menjola.
10:32 Disapparicidos under the military.
10:38 When they arrived at Menjola, some militant groups lit candles
10:43 as a reminder to the victims of human rights and the victims of martial law.
10:49 But some of these candles were lit by the police.
10:53 Meanwhile, to the motorists who will pass through Menjola,
10:58 the traffic is heavy.
11:01 From Manila, for GM Integrated News, Jonathan Andal, 24 Hours.
11:07 Thank you very much, Jonathan Andal.
11:10 Following their return, NTF-LKAC released their video and video of the two activists
11:18 who truly surrendered and did not back down.
11:22 That's the unit force targeted by Sandra Aguinaldo and Jun Veneracion.
11:30 Do you really plan to surrender?
11:37 We just heard that there's no work for the RHD in the area.
11:42 This is part of the video released by the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict, or NTF-LKAC,
11:49 which was recorded by the activists who gave their testimony, Jonila Castro and Jed Tamano.
11:55 The RHD they mentioned, who is working for them, is the opposing group of the NTF-LKAC,
12:01 where Jonila is from.
12:03 How many years have you been there?
12:05 Almost two years, but I was a medic.
12:08 There are also written hands on the side that according to the military,
12:12 it was given to Jonila Jed.
12:14 This confession was given to Jonila, who has been in the police force for four years and has been mentioned for the court.
12:19 They say they are poor, hungry and afraid because of the daily hiding.
12:24 That's why they surrendered in the midst of the opposing group.
12:27 They say that their testimony was based on those written hands that were made by the Public Attorney's Office.
12:33 Did you read your testimony?
12:35 Yes.
12:36 Did you read what you said?
12:39 Yes.
12:40 This is all the truth that I know.
12:44 If you lied, you can be charged.
12:50 These two are left out of the said confession in the organized media conference of the NTF-LKAC this Tuesday.
12:55 We were also forced to surrender.
12:59 Our lives were threatened.
13:01 That's the truth.
13:02 We were not allowed to go to the military's custody.
13:07 The act of cowardice was not true because it was done inside the camp of the military.
13:13 The NTF-LKAC said that Jed's parents were also there.
13:18 The Commission on Human Rights also said that they were there.
13:21 We were betrayed, unfortunately, through a web of deceptions.
13:27 Their parents were betrayed.
13:30 We just have to learn of course from this experience.
13:33 Despite the criticism and criticism of the Philippine Army that it did what it should do,
13:38 the support and trust of the leaders of the soldiers who held the activists who turned against the military is still there.
13:45 Maybe there's not a blunder. Maybe the other group had a blunder.
13:48 We will file the necessary case and we just have to use our laws.
13:53 We are still trying to get the testimony of Jonila and Jed, but they refused to give a statement.
13:59 Meanwhile, the two were found in the camera by the Justice Department's budget.
14:05 Gabriela Partilist specifically pointed out how it's possible that the government is not listening.
14:11 The Justice Secretary's statement followed,
14:15 "The new playbook is this kind of counterattack to make the government look bad."
14:21 The sponsor of the budget, the prosecutor and the Justice Secretary always responded to the victim.
14:28 The prosecutor is really partial because he's the victim's lawyer.
14:33 I was asking the impartiality of DOJ Mr. Speaker.
14:38 DOJ's hands are the prosecutor's.
14:42 The prosecutor's job is DOJ's job.
14:47 At first, Brosas became emotional.
14:49 She insisted that the Justice Department should be careful with the statements because there's a life at stake.
14:55 I will interpolate that Mr. Speaker, Madam Speaker.
14:59 I'm here. I need to interpolate that time.
15:03 But I need to go there because when the NTFL was pressed,
15:08 what the kids are saying is that we are sad.
15:13 We are still under military custody.
15:17 If they can't leave, they will go back to the camp.
15:21 I move, Madam Speaker, to defer the budget.
15:25 Move to suspend, Madam Speaker. Move to suspend.
15:30 The plenary debate was suspended for a while but the proposed 2024 budget of DOJ was approved.
15:39 For GMA Integrated News, Sandra Aguinaldo.
15:43 June veneration is on. 24 hours.
15:45 They say there's money in the trash.
15:50 The prestigious work of the Pangungulik Tanian was leveled up in the training of TESDA
15:56 to become a professional trashman who can be a substitute for Maki Pulido who is abroad.
16:03 Larry has been a trashman for 7 years.
16:09 I haven't finished my studies.
16:12 There's no other option than to stay here.
16:15 Even if it rains, you can still go in. You can earn.
16:19 But what some people are missing is his livelihood.
16:22 TESDA will hold a training program.
16:26 The pilot program is here at the Integrated Solid Waste Management Facility in Teresa Rizal's town.
16:31 They are the only ones who have the initiative to apply for the program under Garbage Collection.
16:38 This October is the target for the first batch of trashmen to be trained.
16:43 The 25 trainees are the residents of Teresa before it is opened for other residents.
16:49 They will be taught how to collect garbage at designated areas,
16:53 place garbage inside the truck, transport garbage to final disposal.
16:58 They will also be taught the proper personal protective equipment.
17:02 The program will last for 18 days.
17:04 There will be lectures in the training center and practical training in the material recovery facility.
17:09 Because there is a recycling facility, the trainees will learn how to do it.
17:13 The finalists will receive a national certificate from TESDA.
17:19 This is a big help in applying abroad.
17:21 Because even in Japan and Korea, garbage collectors are looking for them.
17:25 They have an edge because they have a certificate that they are holding.
17:28 But Teresa LGU hopes that they will be able to be a good example to the graduates
17:32 in explaining that segregation or separation of garbage should start from home.
17:39 If the garbage is small, the budget for throwing garbage in the landfill in Morong Rizal will be reduced.
17:45 For now, Teresa LGU's budget is 10 million pesos per year for this.
17:49 What will be saved is for the budget for other programs.
17:53 People's behavior will change because we have trained people who can explain when it comes to segregation.
18:02 But Larry, who is hoping for a better life, cannot avoid the desire to go abroad.
18:08 It's better here. It's just a minimum.
18:11 For GMA Integrated News, Marquee Polido in Katutok, 24 Hours.
18:16 Good evening, Kapuso.
18:28 While you are planning your to-do list for tomorrow, especially since it's Friday,
18:33 let's check the weather forecast.
18:36 Cloud clusters are being monitored in the east of Samar.
18:42 It's within the Intertropical Convergence Zone or ITCZ.
18:47 According to the forecast, it's expected to develop as a low-pressure area.
18:51 But for now, the chance of it becoming a storm is low.
18:55 The effect of ITCZ has also increased.
18:57 If it's only in Mindanao in the past few days,
19:01 it will now be raining in Southern Luzon and Visayas.
19:06 According to the Metro Weather, it will rain in Southern Luzon and Calabar Zone and Palawan tomorrow morning.
19:14 It will rain in the whole Luzon tomorrow afternoon and evening.
19:18 Heavy to intense rains will be in Bicol, Quezon, Central Luzon and Mimaropa.
19:24 In Metro Manila, like earlier, a thunderstorm is possible in the afternoon.
19:29 There's a chance that it will continue until the evening.
19:31 So for those who have Friday gimmicks, after work,
19:34 bring an umbrella or raincoat that will match your OOTV.
19:39 Let's check Visayas, where it will be raining, especially in the afternoon.
19:44 Heavy to intense rains will be in Negros Occidental, Panay Island, Central Visayas and Eastern Visayas.
19:52 For our fellow citizens in Mindanao,
19:54 be extra careful because the rainy season will continue.
19:58 Tomorrow morning, it will be raining in Zamboanga Peninsula,
20:01 some parts of Northern Mindanao and Soksarjin.
20:05 When the afternoon comes, it will be raining in more places,
20:09 including BARM, Caraga and Davao Region.
20:13 Heavy to intense rains are expected in some areas,
20:16 so be alert in case of a flood or landslide.
20:19 Be careful, fellow citizens.
20:20 And that's the latest news for the time being.
20:23 I'm Maureen Shrivers for GMA Integrated News Weather Center.
20:27 We are your hosts, anytime.
20:30 We received a new report on the 24-hour Facebook page.
20:36 It's about the people who were locked up for a huge salary abroad,
20:39 but the job is just to be a scammer,
20:42 which has a side job to torture.
20:44 Ivan Mayrina and Mark Salazar were the witnesses.
20:47 The story of the wives of three secret slaves in Myanmar is almost identical.
20:56 According to GMA Integrated News,
20:59 a woman named Joanna Marie is recruiting call center agents in Thailand
21:03 who have a monthly salary of up to Php 50,000 plus commission.
21:08 We just chatted on Facebook.
21:12 We agreed to pay them when we get there.
21:15 We will take care of it.
21:16 They will only get a percentage of what we pay.
21:18 But their wives are traveling from Zamboanga, across Malaysia and Thailand
21:25 before being taken to Myanmar by a boat.
21:28 The promise was in Thailand.
21:30 My husband was just wondering why she was taken by a boat.
21:35 He looked at her eyes and said she was a princess.
21:37 He was shocked that a band was going to follow them.
21:41 They are not legitimate call center agents in Myanmar.
21:45 They are scammers.
21:47 Once the entire money is invested, they will not return it.
21:50 The money will go to the company.
21:53 Their wives are even more upset
21:56 when they cannot pay the amount they should have.
21:59 They are being treated like a slave.
22:01 They will be in jail for 40 days.
22:04 All the torture that can be done in that penalty room.
22:08 In the cell phones, one of the victims sent a picture.
22:12 This is what his wife brought to the so-called black room.
22:17 They are being possessed. Before they eat two pandesal and a mineral water,
22:25 they will be electrocuted and then they will be tortured.
22:29 The most severe is when both the penalty room and black room were punished.
22:34 My wife was really in a bad situation.
22:36 She was in a black room for two weeks.
22:39 She was possessed.
22:40 She was in a black room for one week.
22:43 She was in there for 40 days.
22:45 Like the other survivors,
22:47 they only have a way to escape from that place.
22:51 If you are able to pay, like they are able to pay,
22:54 they will be taken out of the compound.
22:56 It's up to you who will follow you,
22:58 if it's Myanmar police or Thailand police.
23:00 They approached the Interagency Council Against Trafficking
23:04 but they were not able to get any help to escape.
23:07 They have been there for a long time.
23:09 Their debts are increasing.
23:11 They are paying for their house, food, everything.
23:16 They are not being scammed.
23:18 They are begging. They are trying to avoid the blood money.
23:22 If you call it, that's the whole amount.
23:24 The family of the victims was begging to email them the whole details of what happened
23:30 so that the investigation can start.
23:33 Labor trafficking is just one of the things that the Interagency Council Against Trafficking is investigating.
23:38 According to the council, as a red flag,
23:41 if you are being considered a tourist for the work abroad.
23:45 It's a big red flag that if you work abroad,
23:48 you will not get any clearance from the DMW.
23:53 I hope you will avoid that.
23:55 You are usually paid a high salary and a good job
23:58 while many are struggling with poverty.
24:01 For example, the passports.
24:03 When they come to other countries, they get their passports.
24:06 They get their passports with them.
24:08 There are many other workers.
24:10 That's another indication of human trafficking.
24:13 If there are abuses that are happening to them,
24:16 for example, they are not paying their debts or they want to leave,
24:20 that's another badge of human trafficking.
24:22 Many scams are happening on social media.
24:24 The council admitted that sometimes the coordination is not that fast
24:27 with the well-known social media platforms and some of them are hard to reach and no one can talk to.
24:32 For GMA Integrated News, Ivan Meyrinan.
24:35 Mark Salazar, 24 Hours.
24:38 In his visit to South Korea, Vice President Sara Duterte gave the importance of teaching the children
24:47 of the capable people if the truth is not a lie.
24:50 Ian Cruz was there.
24:52 In his keynote speech at the Global Education and Innovation Summit in Seoul, South Korea,
25:00 Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte said that education should be coordinated with the rapid development of technology.
25:08 But she also needs to teach the children how to know the truth from untruthful information.
25:14 It is equally important to teach how to differentiate truthful information from the untruth.
25:23 To know what contributes to a learner's development and what does not.
25:29 And what will instill in them the correct values that will turn them into productive citizens of our respective countries.
25:38 Artificial intelligence will also have a big impact for the new and big opportunities in education but there should be a safeguard here.
25:47 The advance of artificial intelligence will certainly create another paradigm shift in education.
25:56 While this possibility will present more and greater opportunities, it will present many uncertainties in our vision of digital education.
26:10 The paramount consideration whenever and wherever we use and develop technology should wrap around critical thinking, communication, collaboration and creativity.
26:24 The Vice President is currently in South Korea for various activities including assistance to Korean Deputy Prime Minister Lee Ju-ho.
26:32 Depedrin Daw is also looking at possible technologies that students can use in our country.
26:38 In another interview, VP Sara answered questions about the use of confidential funds of her employees.
26:47 She said that according to the law, the use of these funds is possible because there is a possibility of politics behind why the issue does not stop.
26:56 Based on my assessment, my experience in politics, there is really a politics in everything.
27:03 This is included?
27:05 Not only in the issues that are coming out, not only in the attacks that are coming out, even in the work, there is really a politics.
27:12 Including this in the confidential funds?
27:14 Oh yes, yes. The way that the questions are not heard, they are not heard in the answer, you will see that there is an agenda that they are all having.
27:30 Duterte also has an income from the Filipino community here in Seoul.
27:34 They are the body of more than 60,000 Filipinos who live and work here.
27:40 It is important to thank them for their sacrifice for the well-being and education of the loved ones in the Philippines.
27:48 From Seoul, South Korea, for GMA Integrated News, Ian Cruz, for 24 Hours.
27:54 There was no storm and flood, but the flooding that happened in a large part of Mindanao almost did not stop.
28:02 Hundreds of families were affected by the heavy floods and landslides.
28:06 That is what Tina Panganiban Perez is talking about.
28:09 [Music]
28:14 The residents of Pigcawayan, Cotabato, were one by one in the backhoe.
28:19 Because of the strong water flow, they could not cross the river because the bridge was completely destroyed.
28:27 Some of them were able to cross the bridge by climbing on the branches of trees and rocks.
28:34 DSWD and Pigcawayan LGU have already sent help to more than 200 families affected by the floods.
28:42 The residents of Dapawan City, almost all of them were able to survive, were able to cross the river.
28:52 The strong wind of several trees in the hill of Cotabato was also blown.
28:59 The motorists were affected because the fallen trees fell on the roadside.
29:05 The electricity was also cut off.
29:07 The diversion road in Tiboli, South Cotabato, was temporarily not passed because of the collapse of a part of the road.
29:17 According to the local government, the soil could have softened and there was a severe soil erosion due to the heavy rain for several days.
29:27 Clearing operations were also carried out immediately.
29:30 According to the local government, the almost no rainfall that flooded and caused flooding in some parts of Mindanao was caused by the Intertropical Convergence Zone or ITCZ.
29:42 For GMA Integrated News, Tina Panganiban Perez, Nakatuto, 24 Hours.
29:50 It is the second anniversary of the death of President Bongbong Marcos.
29:55 But it is not just that.
29:57 The city is changing but there are many things that are related to the administration of his father.
30:02 That is why there are groups that are working to not forget the things that should be learned in that part of history.
30:09 Here is the special report of JT Soriano.
30:13 Curfew is established from 12 o'clock midnight.
30:19 [Music]
30:23 A dark history is being told.
30:27 But this kind of violation of Martial Law that has been declared 51 years ago, is it completely changed?
30:39 Ferdinand Romualdez Marcos Jr.
30:42 Now, the Marcos family is in power.
30:46 Now, Marcos is in the spotlight again.
30:50 [Cheering]
30:53 Many are saying that they are loyalists from the Paul.
30:59 The names and affiliations that were attached to the administration of the old Marcos are now returning.
31:09 That is why it became controversial to talk about whether the Department of Education should issue a directive to change the title of the PAKSA in the curriculum of Grade 6.
31:18 Instead of "Dictadurang Marcos", they will just call it "Dictadura".
31:24 The Armed Forces of the Philippines is also advocating the teaching of the benefits of the Martial Law economy.
31:33 It is planned to be passed to the CHED and the Department of Education.
31:37 What are the benefits of the Martial Law of the dictator Marcos Sr. in the economy of our country?
31:44 The hope of the department is to present a balanced view.
31:47 It is also imperative, Mr. Speaker, that the youth of today will be informed of what happened in the past and the learnings of the past.
31:55 When it comes to this, it's an expertise thing.
32:00 When it comes to curriculum, we need to follow the curriculum and teaching strand and respect what they think is the most appropriate and right thing to teach our students.
32:16 The change of teaching about the Martial Law is being encouraged by those who were victims of human rights violations in the past.
32:26 Like the former Commission on Human Rights Chairperson and former Partylist Representative, Eta Rosales, who was arrested by the military in 1976.
32:36 She was tortured, tormented, and was held for more than a month.
32:42 Don't you dare, I said, change and remove the name Marcos from the dictatorship.
32:49 They should not forget the truth.
32:53 There should not be any distortions of truth and it should be evidence-based.
33:01 This is the desire of the project Gunita.
33:06 The mission is to counteract the manipulation of history.
33:11 It's big because you remove the accountability of the one who implemented the military law.
33:17 So that Filipinos will not forget the history of the Martial Law era in the Philippines,
33:23 Bantayog na Mga Bayani Foundation established the Bantayog na Mga Bayani Museum.
33:29 Here in Bantayog na Mga Bayani, more than 300 names are written here.
33:34 They are the Filipinos who fought during the Martial Law, fought for the freedom of Filipinos.
33:39 Almost all of them are dead.
33:41 Many of them were lost and never seen again.
33:44 But in writing their names here, you have hope that somehow,
33:49 even sometimes, Filipinos will remember them and they will live.
33:53 We're dealing with facts here. We're dealing with historical truth.
33:57 Aside from Bantayog na Mga Bayani,
34:00 the plan for the establishment of the Martial Law Museum
34:05 that was established in a law that was passed in 2013 is still in progress.
34:10 The Martial Law Memorial Park is expected to be completed in December 2025.
34:16 It is still the time of the appointment of President Bongbong Marcos.
34:20 The Freedom Memorial Museum is a collection of facts.
34:25 What are the facts?
34:26 There were gross human rights violations during the Marcos Martial Law period from 1972 to 1986.
34:35 The GMA Integrated News tried to get the statement of the Martial Law anniversary.
34:41 But the Palace said they will not release a statement.
34:45 For GMA Integrated News, JP Soriano.
34:49 Tune in, 24 hours.
34:52 It's not just Christmas, but White Christmas in the Philippines is being held in Cavite City Hall.
