00:00 Live from the GeoMay Network Center, this is 24 Hours.

00:06 Good evening, Paul Luzon Visayas and Ming Danao.

00:12 We have confirmed 17 deaths while 7 were critical.

00:18 After a bus fell in Bangin, Hamtik, Antique.

00:23 Almost 100 steps deep were fallen.

00:27 That's why the rescue operation is difficult.

00:30 In the midst of the chaos of the victims' relatives,

00:33 the bus company that was involved also asked for forgiveness.

00:36 And Kim Salinas was live by Jimmy Regional TV 1 Western Visayas.

00:41 Kim?

00:44 Mel, Vicky, Emil, the investigation of the authorities continues

00:52 in Hamtik, Antique where 17 people were injured.

00:57 At 4.28pm, this bus passed from Iloilo City to Hamtik, Antique.

01:05 When it reached the curved road in Maragay, Igbo, Cagay,

01:09 it fell into a concrete barrier until it fell in Bangin.

01:12 The vehicles fell into different parts of Bangin.

01:16 It's a dead body.

01:20 According to the witnesses, the bus may have lost the brakes

01:23 because it ran fast before it went straight to Bangin.

01:27 According to the authorities, it's an accident prone area.

01:31 It's a dangerous area.

01:33 It's very dangerous.

01:35 It's very dangerous.

01:37 It's very dangerous.

01:39 I saw it when I was walking.

01:42 It's difficult to rescue the passengers

01:45 because of the deep fall from the top of almost 100 steps.

01:49 There were almost 30 passengers who were bleeding.

01:51 It was very painful.

01:54 I estimate that there were about 10 people who were still alive.

01:59 It took the passengers and 10 passengers a night to recover.

02:04 The loss of light and signal in Bangin was even more difficult.

02:08 Angel Salazar Memorial General Hospital was one of the injured.

02:13 Some of their family members were also emotionally injured.

02:17 But the wife of the bus inspector, Jose Glen Pandagani,

02:20 could hardly talk after she found out her husband was one of the injured.

02:25 The ambulance also went to the morgue where the injured person was brought.

02:29 Fe's 24-year-old daughter said that her dream will not continue.

02:33 She's very sick.

02:35 She's not able to walk.

02:37 She's not able to walk.

02:39 According to Antique PDRMO,

02:41 17 people died while seven were critical in the hospitals in Iloilo.

02:46 The condition is stable.

02:47 Aside from the bus inspector,

02:49 the bus driver Ricky Serios and the conductor, Welmar Felipe Marcelino,

02:54 were also on their way.

02:56 Aside from them and the Kenyan missionary, Patrick Mosumi,

02:59 the authorities asked them not to mention the names of others while the investigation continues.

03:03 A man who was not yet identified but has a tattoo on his arm

03:06 and was found dead at the age of 29 to 35 years old.

03:11 The LTFRB Western Visayas is investigating the road situation at the accident site,

03:16 the condition of the bus and the state of the driver's driving.

03:19 Based on the initial investigation I got before the accident,

03:23 we were only traveling around 27 kilometers per hour.

03:27 And you should take note, all these buses have speed limiters.

03:33 So they can't be driven fast.

03:37 But nevertheless, this CCTV footage will really help in the investigation

03:47 and who is literally at fault.

03:50 The company also asked for forgiveness for the families of the victims and the injured.

03:54 We are very sorry for the accident.

04:03 We are asking for forgiveness for the victims and the injured.

04:07 We will do our best to assist the families.

04:12 We are asking for forgiveness for the families who are in the hospital.

04:17 Vicky, there are also personnel of the bus company

04:26 who are standing by in the hospitals in Antique and Iloilo City

04:30 to assist the victims.

04:32 Right, Vicky?

04:33 Thank you very much, Kim Salinas of GMA Regional TV 1 Western Visayas.

04:39 The LTFRB is now suspending the operation of 13 units of the bus company.

04:47 The agency will now conduct a random drug test and inspection

04:52 in different bus terminals.

04:54 Christmas is coming.

04:56 Chino Gaston is on the line.

04:58 [Music]

05:01 The LTFRB is looking at three angles in the investigation

05:05 of the fall of the Serres bus liner in Bangin, Antique.

05:08 First, if there is a violation in the maintenance of the bus.

05:11 Second, if the route is on the right track.

05:14 And third, what is the state of mind and health of the driver.

05:18 It is incumbent upon the bus company that every time they travel,

05:22 they will make sure that their buses are in good condition.

05:26 We will look at the ledger in the terminal,

05:28 what is the condition before it leaves.

05:31 And then of course, I understand that one of the passengers is the driver,

05:36 but we will be conducting a test if the driver is drunk at that time.

05:41 The LTFRB ordered the 90-day preventive suspension

05:44 of 13 buses of the company that travels to Iloilo, Antique.

05:48 Less than 17 passengers were injured in the accident.

05:55 The LTFRB talked to the insurance company of the bus company

05:58 to release the insurance claims as soon as possible.

06:01 To see to it that the deaths would be appropriately indemnified,

06:06 that's half a million per head, and to attend to the medical bills of the serious ones.

06:12 According to LTFRB Chairman Teofilo Guadis III,

06:15 from December 21 to New Year,

06:18 the agency will conduct a random drug and road worthiness inspection

06:23 of the bus terminals throughout the country.

06:25 For GMA Integrated News, Chino Gaston reporting for 24 Hours.

06:30 How many corrupt images appeared on the Facebook page

06:34 of the Philippine Charity Swiftstakes Office of PCSO?

06:37 After asking around, I am investigating if this is an inside job.

06:41 Sanja Aguinaldo is reporting.

06:43 On the Facebook page of the Philippine Charity Swiftstakes Office of PCSO,

06:49 many are waiting for these announcements.

06:52 But around 11 am yesterday,

06:54 some corrupt images appeared on the MyDay of the said account.

06:59 According to PCSO, their FB page was hacked but they were able to recover it.

07:05 We immediately deleted it from the admin and then MyStory.

07:09 You know, MyStory is 24 hours.

07:12 But we're happy that it's gone.

07:15 The Cyber Crime Investigation Coordinating Center

07:20 is now investigating the hacking.

07:22 And because the inside job is not on the same page,

07:26 the three FBI agents have already listened to the announcements.

07:30 We're not ruling out anything yet.

07:32 It's still an investigation.

07:34 Because we don't have a lot of information.

07:37 And usually it's technology-based and it's so technical.

07:40 The first approach really is inside job.

07:43 Whether it's the e-wallets and everything.

07:47 So we have to wait for the actual investigation.

07:50 When PCSO was asked,

07:52 hacking has no effect on their lottery system.

07:55 The system for the lottery is intact.

07:58 There's no problem.

08:00 We'd like to assure the public.

08:02 And it has in fact reached record sales yesterday with the new system.

08:05 For GMA Integrated News,

08:07 Sandra Aguinaldo,

08:09 for Tutok 24 Horas.

08:11 Even if the points in math and reading skyrocketed,

08:16 the Filipino students are still almost at the same level

08:20 in those subjects, even in science,

08:22 compared to other countries.

08:24 According to the 2022 Program for International Student Assessment,

08:30 the defense of Ian Cruz's decision

08:33 If the discussion is only about the focus,

08:37 the Filipino students improved 2 points in math

08:42 compared to the 2018 based on the 2022 Program for International Student Assessment or PISA.

08:47 But the ranking is 6th lowest in 81 countries.

08:52 The Filipino students improved 7 points in reading compared to 2018.

08:58 But 6th also in math.

09:01 While in science, the Philippines is still below 1 point.

09:05 And 3rd in math.

09:09 The final score of the Philippines is still below OECD average

09:13 because the annual study is 1 year,

09:15 the equivalent of every 20 points.

09:17 It shows that the Filipino students' learning is delayed by several years.

09:22 We see that around 5 to 6 years,

09:26 if we follow their computation again with reservation,

09:29 with caveats because we have different pace of learning per countries and economies.

09:35 As the solution of DepEd is rolling,

09:38 the pursuit of studying during BMS is still separated from the regular class

09:42 and the strict training of teachers.

09:45 The PISA results lay bare uncomfortable truth.

09:48 It has shown that a significant majority of our boys and girls

09:52 fall below the proficiency level required for full participation in society

09:56 and contributing to nation building.

09:59 There is also a new curriculum that is being implemented gradually.

10:03 Let's take the opportunity to have a solid agenda,

10:06 the curriculum and other reforms.

10:08 The leaders of the Committee on Basic Education of the Senate and the House of Representatives

10:11 pointed out that the country's performance did not decrease

10:15 despite the longest lockdown in the world

10:18 that's why face-to-face classes are long gone.

10:20 The Senate is also supporting the addition of funding for learning recovery.

10:24 About 10 billion.

10:26 We have more children who will be taught to read and count.

10:30 The next examination of students in PISA is in 2025.

10:35 There is only a short time for the Philippines to get a good score.

10:39 But DepEd will do everything to improve the performance of our students.

10:46 For GMA Integrated News, Ian Cruz, 24 Hours.

10:51 It's time for a fine instead of prison for some crimes.

10:55 That's the same as the charges discussed in the first decongestion summit

11:00 to reduce the number of prisons.

11:04 Let's see the documents of Salima Refran.

11:06 It's hot, humid and almost unbearable situation

11:13 that is being endured by almost 200,000 prisoners in the country.

11:18 That hardship was caused by the slow roll of justice

11:22 that was met in the first decongestion summit of the Philippines.

11:26 The message of the President read by the Executive Secretary

11:31 I urge the JSCC to pursue the streamlining and digitalization

11:37 of your frontline and back-end services.

11:41 By embracing technology and innovative practices,

11:46 we can enhance our efficiency, reduce delays,

11:51 and ensure swift and fair legal proceedings.

11:57 As part of the call of the Justice Sector Coordinating Council or JSCC

12:01 that they want to pass a law,

12:03 they passed a category of some crimes that can be considered

12:07 as per the Penal Code that is too old for the law.

12:13 We'll assess the deterrent effect of these classifications

12:17 and consider the decriminalization of certain offenses like

12:21 libel, abortion, and jeweling.

12:26 Decriminalization doesn't mean that you will not be fined,

12:29 but at least they will not be jailed and therefore decongest our jail systems.

12:33 The Senate President also urged the implementation of supermax prisons

12:37 in different parts of the country and the mountains of the Philippines.

12:41 He said that they should be converted as mega-cities instead of prisons.

12:45 The JSCC also wants to have a Department of Corrections and Penalogy,

12:49 amend the Recognizance Act of 2012,

12:54 and strengthen the Commission on Human Rights.

12:56 But even if that doesn't happen, prisons will be decongested

13:00 if the proceedings are made to be done quickly.

13:05 For that,

13:07 We are revising the rules on criminal procedure.

13:09 We're trying to use technology in our court processes also

13:13 to ensure that the processing of cases is expedited.

13:18 The European Union is now helping to digitize the records of prisoners

13:23 so that they can be released as soon as possible.

13:26 Even if they are jailed, they are convicted,

13:29 and our PDOs still have the right.

13:31 For JMA Integrated News, I'm Nima Refran,

13:35 for 24 Hours.

13:37 Since more than 100,

13:41 the number of Chinese ships has decreased to almost 30,

13:45 like the one in Juan Felipe Ruiz.

13:48 But some congressmen are not content with the action

13:52 of the authorities.

13:53 Tina, Panganiman Perez, has the story.

13:56 The so-called Great Wall,

14:01 where more than 100 Chinese ships are in the Julian Felipe Reef,

14:05 which is inside our exclusive economic zone,

14:08 has gradually decreased.

14:10 And yesterday, only 28 were left in the Julian Felipe Reef.

14:14 In the hearing of the House Special Committee on the West Philippine Sea,

14:19 some congressmen are not content with the action of the authorities.

14:22 So, 135 on November 5 and 6,

14:27 and then you reacted December 2.

14:29 Don't you think our reaction there was late?

14:32 The so-called, Mr. Chair,

14:34 is not enough for what we are doing,

14:37 our commitment to this event.

14:42 Are we effective in doing what we are doing right now?

14:45 I think so.

14:48 We are in Julian Felipe.

14:49 Are we going to celebrate this already?

14:51 With 135 down to 28?

14:53 I think so.

14:55 And then in the next coming days,

14:57 we're still going to expect that they're going to withdraw.

14:59 The AFP and the Philippine Coast Guard also said

15:02 that they are doing their best with their limited resources.

15:06 Representative Neptali Gonzalez II

15:09 has considered those who are protecting the West Philippine Sea

15:12 as David vs. Goliath.

15:16 But he did not like what the AFP Chief of Staff,

15:18 General Romeo Browner, said in the media

15:22 that the Philippines cannot protect the ships of China.

15:26 My God, please, let us not deliver our punches.

15:30 Because, just like last night,

15:32 I watched AFP Chief Browner.

15:37 You will say publicly,

15:39 "It's physically impossible for us to drive them away."

15:44 But it's true.

15:46 China said, "Okay, these people have no capability.

15:50 They really don't have it.

15:52 So, let's just go there."

15:54 We are getting Browner's statement about this.

15:56 The National Task Force on the West Philippine Sea

15:59 has sensitive information and recommendations

16:02 that the committee discussed in the Executive Session

16:05 or in private.

16:07 But the congressmen promised support and funds

16:11 to strengthen the presence of the Philippines in the WPS.

16:14 For GMA Integrated News, Tina Panganipan Perez,

16:18 "Nakatutok 24 Horas."

16:21 Even the investigation of crimes against the police was done digitally.

16:26 It is said that this is the easiest process against crimes

16:29 launched by the PNP and DICT.

16:32 Marison Abdurrahman was in charge.

16:38 There is someone who wants to report to the police

16:39 but the line on the phone is busy

16:41 or the station is far away.

16:43 The PNP has a solution.

16:45 Because through the application on the cell phone,

16:48 you can report crimes.

16:50 That is the e-report and i-report project of the PNP and DICT

16:54 launched earlier in San Juan City.

16:57 As the chairman of the Regional Prison Order Council,

17:00 Zamora said,

17:02 it is a big thing in maintaining peace and order in Metro Manila.

17:07 It is fast.

17:08 We don't need to wait for the call of someone who needs help from the police.

17:13 Once a crime is reported,

17:15 the first three police officers closest to the crime scene

17:19 where the app's signal comes from

17:22 will receive a notification.

17:25 There will be a feedback mechanism

17:27 to know how many crimes happened

17:35 and how to improve.

17:37 The public is assured that the police will come faster.

17:41 Yes.

17:43 DICT also promised that only legitimate reports will be reported to the PNP.

17:48 There is a verification process.

17:50 In fact, it is also linked to our national ID.

17:52 Only legit users can use the app.

17:56 Only legit users will report.

17:58 So there are no more prank users.

18:02 The PNP has also asked other cities in Metro Manila

18:05 and the whole country to do this.

18:07 For GMA Integrated News,

18:09 Marisol Abdurrahman,

18:11 NAKATUTO 24 HORAS.

18:14 Happy Midweek, Kapuso!

18:19 Before it gets too busy for the next Kapuso Historical Drama Series,

18:23 Team Barda has a Christmas gift for you.

18:28 They are thinking of a Christmas gift for each other.

18:32 Let's talk to Aubrey Caramvel.

18:34 Team Barda's ultimate gift is their latest TikTok video, "Lover Challenge".

18:46 The chemistry of the two

18:52 is evident in the way the fans celebrated Barda Day yesterday.

18:57 Barbie Forteza and David Licauco,

18:59 #FeelingBlessed,

19:01 continued to give blessings to their love team.

19:03 Team Barda shared holiday recipes

19:06 that can also be used as a gift this Christmas.

19:09 I appreciate it more if it's something personal.

19:12 So if you're really putting in the effort.

19:14 So may it be food or DIY gifts.

19:19 Because you put in the effort, you didn't just buy it.

19:22 I cooked it.

19:24 Is it hot?

19:26 Hey, what's up?

19:27 Yes, it's freshly cooked.

19:29 He made it so fast.

19:31 And because Christmas is coming,

19:33 they're already preparing gifts.

19:35 She's cold, so I'll buy her a jacket.

19:38 Oh, you?

19:40 I'll give you a neck pillow.

19:42 Why?

19:44 Because when I sleep in the airplane, I get cold.

19:46 Is that what you mean?

19:48 No!

19:51 Because we know that she has a problem with sleeping.

19:58 So I was wondering why she got a neck pillow.

20:01 She's always on the go, she's always busy, she's always traveling.

20:05 They're also preparing the upcoming Kapuso historical drama series,

20:09 "Pulang Araw".

20:11 Barbie and Sanya Lopez,

20:13 started training tap dancing as Boda Bila stars.

20:17 We're really struggling.

20:20 Your footwork is really right.

20:21 Because it's audible, it has a sound.

20:23 And the shoes are different, it's a bit hard.

20:25 David will also start studying Mihongo,

20:29 and gun handling training.

20:31 Of course, I still need to work out continuously.

20:34 And I think there are guns there.

20:37 Guns?

20:39 Yes, you're going to train?

20:43 I'm going to train.

20:45 And I really want to be fit.

20:47 How? You're already fit.

20:49 Aubrey Carampel,

20:50 updated showbiz happenings.

20:52 The resolution is now in the committee of the camera

20:57 to suspend the franchise of the company that runs SMNI.

21:04 The two hosts who were contempted by the committee

21:08 are still detained by the law.

21:11 J.P. Soriano is on trial.

21:16 Last night, the House Committee on Legislative Franchises

21:20 approved the resolution calling for the National Telecommunications Commission

21:24 to suspend the franchise of Suara Sug Media Corporation

21:29 that runs Sunshine Media Network International or SMNI.

21:34 It is for the violation of Section 4 of its franchise

21:40 and the responsibility of the franchise holder to not spread false information.

21:46 It was based on what SMNI host Eric Sedix said

21:50 that Speaker Martin Ramualdez had a 1.8 billion pesos travel fund.

21:56 Sedix admitted that it was a false information.

22:00 This is not an attack on the freedom of the press.

22:05 Rather, we are defending the right of the people to have an accurate and true reporting

22:11 so that they can formulate honest opinions and thus contribute positively to society.

22:18 We are still waiting for the reaction of SMNI

22:22 after being cited and contempted and detained by the law

22:26 by SMNI host Eric Sedix for his involvement in the fraud.

22:32 His co-host, former Undersecretary Lorraine Badoy,

22:35 was accused of spreading false and misleading information

22:40 like the violation of their personality to the communists.

22:45 If you cannot prove or you cannot present evidence,

22:49 then clearly this is a testimony that indeed Lorraine Badoy and Eric are spreading false information.

22:59 This is in fact the official stand of our government.

23:02 Therefore, she is also presenting evidence.

23:07 I am not giving a personal opinion.

23:09 By the report that Mr. Chair that came from the National Task Force LCAP.

23:15 Badoy was cited and contempted after their statements by his lawyer

23:20 did not match with the information they submitted to the committee.

23:26 According to Atty. Mark Tolentino, Badoy participated 25% of the program's revenue as a co-producer.

23:33 I think you are lying because the revenue is broken down.

23:37 7 stations earned 105 million in 2022.

23:41 You are saying that you are earning as a co-producer

23:45 but it is not listed in the breakdown of your revenue.

23:49 Our focus in this show is the creative license, everything.

23:54 The concept, what goes into it, the content.

23:56 I honestly don't really look at the sponsors too much.

24:00 She was cited and contempted and detained by the law.

24:05 She said that they will have a hunger strike while being detained.

24:08 What I witnessed right now was a travesty.

24:11 And I'm very sad for my country.

24:14 According to MTRCB,

24:16 the SMNI has repeatedly warned against the statements of the lawmakers

24:22 and they have been complained by them.

24:24 The NTC said that the decision regarding the administrative case against the SMNI is pending

24:30 because of the claim of former Vice President Lenny Robredo

24:34 who according to Badoy is a "scapegoat" and a protector of the rebelling communists.

24:39 Robredo has already denied it.

24:42 For GMA Integrated News, J.P. Soriano, 24 Hours.

24:49 [Intro Music]

24:57 We are now in a time where the cold wind is still blowing.

25:02 It is just reaching the extreme northern Luzon

26:05 National Economic and Development Authority Secretary Arsenio Balisakan

26:11 is saying that the Philippines' economy is still stable

26:14 and is asking them to invest in our country.

26:17 This is a proof of the decrease in inflation rate and the continuous improvement of the employment situation

26:22 even though we are still in the middle of the geopolitical tension and external pressure.

26:27 The production base of the country while still very much domestic,

26:35 the services accounts for almost three-fourth of our growth,

26:41 DPOs and ITMs sectors.

26:58 He also says that the government is doing everything to diversify the economy

27:03 and to encourage more people to move.

27:18 to their usual issues like ease of doing business,

27:23 quality infrastructure like roads and roads,

27:45 then you know, they get excited because they see the potential of this country as well.

27:51 The World Bank said that the economy is still in a good position in the midst of the global slowdown.

27:57 We do see, we have seen a weakening of the peso but that's in line this year

28:01 with the weakening of many of the other currencies.

28:03 And we see that the Philippines is sitting on a fairly comfortable reserve question of 99 billion dollars,

28:10 which is about seven months of worth of imports.

28:14 On the fiscal side, we see that the fiscal, the medium fiscal consolidation plan is on track.

30:22 The P-POP Kings SB19 is looking forward to be reunited with their fans called ATEEZ.

30:29 Following the settlement of their company, 1Z, and their former management.

30:34 Let's talk to Aubrey Carampel.

30:36 This is one of our biggest achievements in life.

30:42 And officially, we are announcing today the debut of 1Z Entertainment.

30:49 This October, along with their 5th anniversary, P-POP Kings officially announced their own company 1Z Entertainment.

30:58 Where their leader Pablo is the Chief Executive Officer or CEO.

31:03 The announcement is that the group has left their former management, ShowBT Philippines.

31:10 But this November, fans noticed that the members removed the SB19 name from their official Instagram handles.

31:18 And they canceled the World Tour in Singapore.

31:21 1Z Entertainment said that they did everything to continue the event.

31:26 But it was better to prioritize the well-being of their artists.

31:31 They followed the cancellation of the show in Bangkok, Dubai and the postponement in Japan.

31:37 Because of the management, ATEEZ temporarily called the group of 5.

31:43 But the good news yesterday, 1Z Entertainment said that they have an amicable agreement with ShowBT Philippines Corporation.

31:50 Through a fair and equitable resolution.

31:54 They also thanked the fans for their patience and unwavering support.

31:58 Pablo, Josh, Stell, Ken and Justin are hoping to reconnect with their future endeavors.

32:08 1Z Entertainment has not yet given details on what they agreed on by the former management.

32:14 Pobre Carampel, updated to ShowBiz Happenings.

32:17 The NFA is urging to give rice to the beneficiaries of 4Peace instead of the rice allowance.

32:25 It will help to control the price of rice.

32:29 And Jonathan Andal was there.

32:34 Each beneficiary of 4Peace has a 600 pesos rice allowance every month.

32:39 But instead of cash, it can be NFA rice based on the request of the NFA's amendment to the 4Peace law in the Chamber.

32:46 If they don't buy from the market, it will lower the price of rice.

32:51 That 30 billion will not brought to the market and put more pressure on the rice prices.

32:56 And that is a more strategic way to stabilize price.

33:01 What we call in economics, a quantitative easing.

33:05 There are reactions from the 4Peace beneficiaries.

33:07 How would it be distributed?

33:09 They are saying it's easier to distribute cash through ATM.

33:13 But there are no ATM in the mountains, so they will still go down.

33:17 The Agriculture Department said that rice is expensive only in Metro Manila.

33:21 The supply of regular and well-milled rice is limited here.

33:24 That's why the NFA recommended to President Bongbong Marcos to import rice.

33:28 It's still 7 months before the next harvest.

33:31 India agreed to sell us 300,000 metric tons of rice.

33:36 Even though they have a ban on exporting non-basmati rice.

33:41 It will come this December.

33:43 Does this mean that the price of rice will go down this month?

33:46 We will have more supply by December.

33:49 Prices is something that we hope that will go down.

33:52 But considering that there is no more supply from the local market,

33:56 unfortunately, there will still be a challenge in the prices of rice for December.

34:02 Aside from Vietnam, Thailand, and Japan, the NFA is still talking to other countries

34:07 to reach the target of 330,000 metric tons of imported rice.

34:13 According to ITLOG, they expect that the prices will go down because there will be more supply.

34:18 The supply of rice is increasing in preparation for the holidays.

34:24 For GMA Integrated News, Jonathan Andal, Nakatutok 24 Hours.

34:29 Members of the terrorist group MAUTE,

34:33 which the police referred to as persons of interest in the explosion at Mindanao State University in Marawi.

34:39 Mav Gonzalez was on the scene.

34:41 [Police sirens]

34:44 The police referred to the two persons of interest in the explosion at Mindanao State University in Marawi last Sunday.

34:52 Gadapi Mimbesa, alias Engineer, an expert in improvised explosive devices.

34:57 And Arsani Mimbesa, alias Katab, Hatab, and Lapitos.

35:01 They are both members of the terrorist group Daula Islamiya MAUTE

35:05 and have warrant of arrest for various cases.

35:09 Alias Katab is wanted for the murder case.

35:12 There are three unknown suspects who are also members of the MAUTE group.

35:16 Before the explosion happened, they saw the two POIs that were being released by MSU.

35:23 One of our POIs called using his cell phone that might have triggered the explosion.

35:36 Immediately, they left the MSU after using the cell phone of one of our POIs.

35:46 They arrived at the site of the detonation.

35:50 The suspect number one, or POI 1, alighted from the motorcycle and he went straight inside the MSU entrance.

35:59 Based on the victims that were beside Alias Engineer,

36:04 they recognized the suspect because he was also a student at MSU and just graduated.

36:08 They recognized him as a good person and he was always being noticed.

36:11 But that day, they were not noticed and he seemed tense and his cell phone was in a mess.

36:17 From the CCTV footage that was sent by PNP,

36:20 we can see Alias Engineer wearing long sleeves while leaving the MSU gymnasium past 7 in the morning.

36:27 Next to him is Alias Katab wearing a black hoodie and face mask, using his cell phone while walking.

36:33 20 minutes after this, the bomb exploded.

36:37 In another CCTV footage, two persons of interest were riding motorcycles.

36:42 The government issued additional charges for the suspects,

36:47 aside from the 600,000 pesos that was placed on the head of Alias Engineer.

36:51 The defense and security sector gave a briefing to the senators earlier,

36:56 but this was an executive session or it was closed to the public.

37:00 Officials are sure that the manhunt is ongoing for those behind the explosion.

37:04 We can't say that yet, but there is a radicalization after Marawi siege.

37:11 These are the relatives of the victims and friends of the victims of Marawi siege.

37:18 So we have to urge the BARMM government together with the local officials to monitor the radicalization efforts.

37:29 According to Defense Secretary Gibo Echadoro,

37:31 they are validating the claim of ISIS that they are behind the bomb.

37:35 They are also studying the failure of intelligence.

37:39 We are looking at all angles.

37:41 The case is still open. Let's wait for the investigation to end.

37:50 All that can be done is done by the PNP and AFP.

37:55 For GMA Integrated News, Mav Gonzales, 24 Hours.

37:59 What can be done in 24 hours?

38:05 Starting now, our reporters will prove how they can exploit the places where they are covering.

38:13 Like an iconic city in California where Marie Zumali visited some postcard-worthy places.

38:23 What can be done in 24 hours?

38:25 In San Francisco.

38:27 24 hours goes to San Francisco.

38:34 We will go there by personnel.

38:46 The Cultural and Financial Center of Canlurang, America is also considered one of the most iconic cities in the world.

38:53 This is the San Francisco that can be found in California, America.

38:57 The locals here say that it is better if you can walk for a few days to see the beautiful scenery here.

39:04 But if you are like me, who does not have a long time to walk,

39:08 you can go to the most famous landmark here in one day.

39:14 Even if it is just a few days, I did not waste time.

39:17 I'm already excited.

39:19 Welcome aboard to the iconic cable car of San Francisco.

39:23 A perfect vehicle for the streets of Palusong and Paahon.

39:28 The cable car is one of the landmarks of San Francisco that was first used in 1873 or more than 150 years ago.

39:36 Did you know that the cable car of San Francisco is the main National Historical Monument that moves?

39:43 The Longboard Street is now accessible by cable car.

39:45 That's why we stopped here.

39:47 I'm here now at Longboard Street, one of the famous streets here in San Francisco.

39:55 Because it is said to be one of the most crowded streets in the world.

40:01 That's why this is a favorite tourist spot for photo opportunity.

40:05 We walked the streets to another favorite destination here,

40:12 the Fisherman's Wharf.

40:13 From here in Baybayin, you can see Alcatraz behind me.

40:20 It is known because it is called the ultimate maximum security penitentiary.

40:26 But the old prison is now a popular tourist spot after it was closed on March 21, 1963.

40:33 Here at the Fisherman's Wharf, souvenir shops and food are in line.

40:39 And one of the things that they are proud of here is the classic dish, clam chowder.

40:44 Let's try it.

40:46 Yummy!

40:48 It's still smoking. It's perfect here in the cold weather in San Francisco.

40:53 They say that every first timer here in San Francisco should not miss the chance to taste their classic clam chowder.

41:05 [music]

41:10 You can usually see it in our postcards.

41:13 But if you are here in San Francisco, don't miss the chance to visit,

41:18 enjoy and admire the beauty of the Golden Gate Bridge, even at night.

41:23 There are also many movies that were shot here, like Superman, X-Men, Mrs. Doubtfire, Princess Diaries, Planet of the Apes, and Godzilla.

41:34 With the many beautiful places to visit here in San Francisco, you will not be able to get enough of it.

41:39 The truth is, you can only miss the time.

41:42 So on my next return, I will be the one to visit dozens of museums, historical monuments, and other attractions that I will cherish for the rest of my life.

41:53 Until next time, Sanfo!

41:55 From here in San Francisco, California, for GMA Integrated News, I'm Maris Umali for 24 Hours.

42:03 [music]

42:06 A true beauty inside and out, this is actress Beauty Gonzales.

42:10 And in her interview with GMA Integrated News, she explained the reason why she wore jewelry at the GMA Gala.

42:17 Let's talk to Nelson Canlas.

42:19 [music]

42:25 Be your most authentic self.

42:29 That is what Beauty Gonzales is living, which is considered rebellious, and does not conform to the dictates of many.

42:36 Our story with Beauty in GMA Integrated News interviews,

42:44 that she wore jewelry when she attended the GMA Gala.

42:48 The gold artifacts neckpiece and earrings that are like excavated eye and mouth covers from Visayas, are full of gold.

42:58 It's a beautiful jewelry. Yeah, I mean, it's a jewelry from me and my husband.

43:02 Different beliefs of people. I believe in what I believe, and I believe in what she believes, and I respect that.

43:08 I had good intentions that night. I wanted to wear something authentic that is made from the Philippines thousands of years ago.

43:17 That's what I want.

43:19 Did it affect you?

43:21 No, it doesn't affect me. Every bashing is a blessing. I choose to wear it that way, and why not?

43:27 I mean, we wear the same things that our parents pass on to us.

43:31 Beauty's unaffectedness can be from her self-care. Not only physically, but also mentally.

43:40 But if Beauty has an insecurity.

43:43 Not everyone knows this, but I don't watch myself.

43:46 Really?

43:48 Never watch any of my shows.

43:49 I would rather be like this, rather than being arrogant that, "Look at me!"

43:55 But what's that?

43:57 Rather than not being sure of myself, I'm open for mistakes and comments.

44:01 And what Beauty does to overcome this imposter syndrome is to have alone time.

44:08 I'm used to being alone. So even if I'm happily married now, it's important for myself to have my me time.

44:15 As a mom, Beauty is not a typical mother to Olivia.

44:21 I'm happy that I have a good support system in my life. And I thank my husband for that.

44:25 Because he doesn't make me feel pressured to be the best mom.

44:29 All he wants is to be a happy mom. Because if you're a happy mom, then everything else will follow.

44:34 But do you have a mom-daughter date?

44:37 Of course! We go out on a date.

44:40 We go out on a date like that.

44:42 We don't go out and be like, "Come on, let's sweat!"

44:48 I'm more of like, "Let's go! Let's do this!"

44:51 And I don't try to pretend myself. I try to talk to her like an adult.

44:55 Beauty is currently watching the afternoon prime series, "Stolen Life".

44:59 And on December 25, she'll be watching the horror film, "Kampon" at the Metro Manila Film Festival.

45:06 Where she'll be able to meet Derek Ramsey, the husband of her best friend, Ellen Adarna.

45:13 Nelson Canlas, updated on Shoebiz Happenings!

45:18 And that's the news for this Wednesday.

45:20 I'm Mel Tiangco.

45:22 Kapuso, it's just 19 days, it's already Christmas!

45:24 I'm Vicky Morales for a bigger mission.

45:27 For a wider service to the country, I'm Emil Sumangil.
