02:40 Six men, two of them wearing police uniforms, held up in a bar in Coronado City.
02:46 First, two armed men wearing PNP's athletic uniform arrived.
02:51 One of the two guards also joined the bar.
02:55 Later, the men disarmed the guards and broke the bar.
03:01 They broke the bag of the stolen goods, which is still being investigated.
03:06 According to the investigation, the suspects said that they will arrest the people of the bar.
03:13 The police did not arrest the people wearing PNP uniform.
03:17 The LGU has a team to arrest the suspects.
03:21 JMA Regional TV 1 Mindanao is trying to get the names of the suspects.
03:26 [Music]
03:28 The military conducted an air strike against the New People's Army in Escalante, Negros Occidental.
03:34 It lasted for almost an hour.
03:36 The gunfire was heard from the area until 7 p.m.
03:39 According to the military, three were killed by the NPA.
03:43 Four were injured in the government's hands, including three soldiers and one cafgo.
03:48 They were transferred to Escalante and the nearby town of Toboso.
03:53 More than 400 residents were evacuated.
03:55 The LGU promised to help the affected.
03:59 The military continued its clearing operations.
04:02 [Music]
04:04 The truck in San Pedro, Laguna was stolen.
04:08 The driver is not licensed to drive the truck.
04:12 Joseph Morong is the witness.
04:14 [Music]
04:17 These two trucks were given to pass through the barangay San Antonio, San Pedro, Laguna.
04:23 The first one was okay, but when the truck turned right,
04:26 [Music]
04:29 it was surrounded by motorcycle thieves.
04:32 [Music]
04:35 Some riders were standing up.
04:37 There was a rider who was trying to get away.
04:39 While the truck was moving, it was just going straight.
04:42 But according to the barangay, the truck stopped suddenly.
04:45 The driver of the truck was trying to get to the other side of the road.
04:48 Maybe the truck was not braking.
04:50 So it was a bit faster.
04:52 But it stopped.
04:54 The police took the driver and brought him to the police station so that they can investigate everything.
05:00 A rider was injured and seven motorcycles were damaged.
05:03 The town is shouting.
05:05 What happened to the motorcycles?
05:07 They were lying down. They don't know what they will do.
05:10 In this part of the road, the motorcycle drivers were stopped.
05:15 But according to the police, it is not authorized for a truck to drive the driver.
05:20 He has a license, but he cannot drive a six-wheeler.
05:25 Because he has a non-professional driver's license.
05:30 The driver is not drunk, but he will report to the police that he was hit by a brake, accelerator, or a car.
05:37 When I asked the boss, he said he's not a driver.
05:41 He's just a chicken farmer.
05:45 He wants to learn how to drive. He has an element of truck.
05:48 The owner of the truck, who is the driver's boss, refused to face the camera.
05:52 They have already talked to the victims and paid damages and expenses to the hospital.
05:58 The police also confirmed that the victims have already signed and the truck owner has no demand.
06:04 For GMA Integrated News, Joseph Morong is your witness.
06:07 The Kingdom of Jesus Christ has already accepted the Senate's sentence for Pastor Apollo Quiboloy.
06:14 Quiboloy will be sentenced to death in the Senate hearing on March 5,
06:18 in connection with the abuse of women by members of KOJC.
06:22 According to Quiboloy's lawyer, they have no comment.
06:25 Senator Risa Ontiveros, the chairperson of the Senate Committee on Women and Children, said
06:31 that if Quiboloy will not be shown, he will be condemned and will be arrested.
06:37 Quiboloy has previously denied the allegations of rape and sexual abuse.
06:42 The authorities are investigating the beating of some men seen on CCTV
06:48 when they entered a manhole in Manila.
06:51 They are also looking for a connection with the Thermite Gang.
06:55 Mark Salazar is the witness.
06:57 Exclusive!
07:00 February 18, Sunday, past 8 p.m. in Herbosa, Tondo, Manila.
07:06 It seems like an innocent beating of 7 men,
07:10 but 2 of them went down the manhole while 5 were watching.
07:15 February 21, Wednesday, 5 a.m., 2 men went down the manhole.
07:27 At the same time, 4 men were caught on CCTV
07:32 who went down the manhole one after another.
07:35 We asked the captain of the area what was in that manhole.
07:40 What was the purpose?
07:41 Our thinking before, maybe these were the groups
07:46 who were making tunnels.
07:53 The first one was the Thermite Gang.
07:57 The others were in the pawn shop, they set an alarm at 12 a.m.
08:01 Then at 1 a.m., the man came out.
08:03 So we were thinking that maybe their intention or purpose
08:10 was to enter that tunnel, that drainage.
08:13 When we saw the manhole,
08:17 the question was how did 4 people fit inside it.
08:21 Just kidding, the manhole was only 1 by 2 feet
08:25 and the canal was only 2 feet deep.
08:28 Because that drainage, that middle part, was big.
08:33 I really understood that you can stand there.
08:38 There was a drainage there before, you can still stand there.
08:41 The hole was big.
08:45 It was seen on CCTV that they fit.
08:49 So the center of the investigation was whether they were the Thermite Gang.
08:53 And the nearby pawn shop, was this the target?
08:57 Because no one was caught in the manhole,
09:00 what they left in the manhole was the clue.
09:04 They used a steel container, hammer, and chain pulley.
09:10 And the thick cable was recovered with a bundle of copper wire inside.
09:14 Their target was only wires.
09:17 There was no cement, stone, or tin for the holes in the walls.
09:29 A few steps away from the manhole
09:32 was the old accessory box of the telephone company
09:35 that had a big cable underneath.
09:39 Of course, there were some plugs.
09:41 I was gathering information from my fellow fishermen
09:46 who experienced that kind of entrance to the drainage.
09:52 Their target was the wire.
09:55 The abandoned ones.
09:57 This all started with the barangay's surveillance of their imburanals.
10:02 For GMA Integrated News, I am Mark Salazar, your witness.
10:09 Meanwhile, LRT-1 stopped their operation at 6 in the evening.
10:13 That was because three power substations were experienced by Pedro Hill and Blue Madrid Station.
10:20 The train that some passengers were riding stopped suddenly
10:24 and LRT-1 lowered them.
10:27 After almost an hour, the operation returned to normal
10:30 from Baclaran to Fernando Poe Jr. Station.
10:35 In the midst of the uproar in the 1986 EDSA People Power Revolution,
10:40 some groups called for a "charter change."
10:44 Jun Veneracion is a witness.
10:46 Not only the people's power was uproared by some of the people who attended the EDSA shrine earlier,
10:56 but also, it is important not to forget the people of EDSA
11:01 who were imprisoned in the 1987 Constitution.
11:04 That is why they decided to call for a "charter change."
11:08 When you claim, you celebrate, and you claim the victory of EDSA,
11:14 necessarily, the Constitution is included.
11:17 And the commitment and the commitment to defend it.
11:23 This removal from the anniversary of the People Power Revolution as an official holiday,
11:30 and yes, this "chacha" because the 1987 Constitution is the fruit of the EDSA People Power Revolution.
11:37 In fact, it embeds many lessons in our struggle against the martial law dictatorship.
11:43 This is a legacy that should be cherished and defended by the Filipinos
11:52 against the current distortion of history
12:00 and against those who want to repeat the catastrophic era in our country.
12:08 The people who gathered in Bantayog in Quezon City also opposed "chacha."
12:15 The government should be different.
12:18 The people should be targeted for their right to live,
12:24 for their salary, for their workers, for the end of contractualization.
12:29 This Sunday, the anniversary of the EDSA People Power Revolution,
12:35 a bigger rally will be held in Ayala Avenue.
12:38 The countdown is set on the day of the departure of former President Ferdinand Marcos Sr.
12:44 38 years have passed since the EDSA Party was fully formed
12:49 by the Filipinos who opposed the Marcos administration.
12:52 The military rule was overthrown, democracy was restored,
12:56 but after a while, the historical event of 1986 slowly disappeared from the minds of the Filipinos.
13:05 Based on the data collected by GMA Integrated News Research in 2020,
13:11 more than 65% of the population of the Philippines is still single
13:16 or has not been born yet by the EDSA People Power.
13:20 Based on the data collected 4 years ago,
13:23 it is possible that more people are still aware of the People Power
13:28 through those who read, watch, and listen.
13:33 We asked some young people, "What do you remember about the People Power?"
13:37 One of the biggest contributions of the EDSA People Power
13:41 is to have a strong heart, our Filipino countrymen
13:46 who fought against the wrong way of our government.
13:50 When you heard the EDSA People Power Revolution, what did you think?
13:54 No entrance, sir.
13:57 Holiday?
14:00 Yes, sir. Holiday, sir.
14:03 So that the youth can remember the importance of historical events like the People Power,
14:08 the Teachers Dignity Coalition said that it should be included in the high school curriculum.
14:13 Because for now, history is taught in elementary school.
14:16 School is still the most important tool for history, for teaching our history.
14:27 Unlike last year, Malacanang did not declare this year's holiday as February 25.
14:33 According to the Office of the President of the Philippines,
14:36 the anniversary is on Sunday.
14:38 And it has a small effect to declare this as a special non-working holiday
14:43 because it is considered as a day of rest for most of the workers.
14:48 However, they still have their respect for the commemoration of the EDSA People Power Revolution.
