00:00 [Gunshots]
00:02 [Whistle]
00:04 [Gunshots]
00:06 [Speaking in Tagalog]
00:08 [Music]
00:12 The Senate is now in a show of force
00:15 with Pastor Apolo Quibuloy
00:17 because he did not attend the hearings.
00:19 [Speaking in Tagalog]
00:22 [Music]
00:25 [Speaking in Tagalog]
00:48 [Speaking in Tagalog]
01:05 When asked about this,
01:07 Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri said,
01:10 [Speaking in Tagalog]
01:12 March 5, Senator Risa Contiveros condemned Quibuloy
01:15 for repeatedly not attending the Senate hearings.
01:19 But he was not asked for an arrest order against Zubiri
01:22 because there were 7 days for the majority of the committee members to be dismissed.
01:26 Senator Robin Padilla tried to get a signature
01:29 to prevent the contempt,
01:31 but yesterday, only 4 out of 8 signatures were needed.
01:35 Now, 7 days have passed,
01:37 the Senate issued a show-cause order.
01:40 It is time to accept this.
01:42 Quibuloy has 48 hours to explain why he should not be arrested.
01:47 According to Zubiri,
01:49 all legal proceedings for Quibuloy should be done
01:52 in accordance with the ruling of the Supreme Court
01:54 in the case of the officials of the Farmally Pharmaceutical Corporation
01:57 who were condemned and imprisoned by the Senators
02:00 against the Senate.
02:02 I don't want to be in violation of the Supreme Court ruling on the farmally issue.
02:07 After three times of not attending the hearings,
02:12 in the first instance of violating the franchise of the SMNI,
02:15 House Committee on Legislative Franchises also condemned Quibuloy.
02:20 The chair in objection, the motion of the Honorable Paduano
02:26 to ask the Sergeant of Arms,
02:28 to directing the Sergeant of Arms to bring the honor of,
02:35 bringing Pastor Quibuloy to the House premises is hereby approved.
02:41 But one of Quibuloy's lawyers talked about
02:45 to postpone the execution of the order
02:48 to bring the House Sergeant of Arms,
02:50 Quibuloy and Dalvin to the House of Representatives.
02:54 May I make a final appeal, Mr. Chair,
02:57 to defer the implementation of the contempt order
03:00 until after I have advised my client.
03:03 Just a few days.
03:05 We know all very well that Pastor Quibuloy at this point in time
03:08 is already a flight risk.
03:10 The court is asking for a bailout
03:13 so that Pastor Quibuloy can leave the country.
03:18 According to Quibuloy's camp,
03:20 aside from the lookout bulletin order to Quibuloy,
03:22 the pastor has no plans to escape.
03:25 That's why the committee agreed to wait until Friday
03:28 if he will be shown on camera.
03:31 However, the committee report was approved
03:34 for the restoration of the franchise of Suara Submedia Corporation
03:38 that operates in SMNI due to their dispute.
03:42 It is also the replacement of the owner of the company
03:45 when the Congress does not know about it.
03:47 The committee report will be included in the plenary debate.
03:50 We need to secure the private approval of Congress
03:54 in case there is a transfer of the controlling interest.
03:58 This controlling interest is 50% plus.
04:01 What was transferred is only 46%.
04:03 The congressmen, the members of this house,
04:06 still has the chance to take a look into our position paper.
04:11 Marlon Acobo, executive pastor of KOJC,
04:14 came to the hearing.
04:16 He has been indicted for several years for having no connection
04:19 with the running of SMNI, Quibuloy.
04:22 He also explained the role of former President Rodrigo Duterte
04:25 in their organization.
04:27 Duterte recently confirmed that he volunteered
04:31 to be the administrator of the properties of KOJC.
04:35 Former President Rodrigo Duterte,
04:38 he has a high experience, he is a lawyer.
04:46 He is a good person, he is loyal to the Kingdom Ministry.
04:54 PRD has a high experience, he is a lawyer.
05:00 He is a close friend of the ministry.
05:04 In his face to some vloggers,
05:07 the allegations of rape and other abuses
05:11 of former members of KOJC facing the Senate were denied.
05:15 For GMA Integrated News, Sandra Aguinaldo,
05:19 I am Mav Gonzalez, your witness.
05:23 Former President Rodrigo Duterte also attended
05:26 the prayer vigil of supporters of Pastor Apolo Quibuloy
05:29 in the left wing of Bonifacio in Manila.
05:31 In his interview, Duterte said that the so-called
05:34 review of some parts of the Constitution is just a farce,
05:37 but the real target of this farce is term extension.
05:41 Former President of the Philippines
05:43 was also involved in the overseas trips of President Bompong Marcos.
05:46 GMA Integrated News is trying to get the full details of this.
05:51 Senator Robin Padilla, Bato De La Rosa, and Bong Go also attended the prayer vigil.
05:58 Their real target is this, this, and this.
06:04 Term extension.
06:09 I heard that there is a third one,
06:13 Constituent Assembly by Congress.
06:16 It seems that they passed it.
06:19 So, if the Constitution can be moved,
06:23 it will be done.
06:25 Marcos will just extend
06:28 what his father did.
06:33 Marcos will just pass it.
06:35 The Commission on Appointments issued a confirmation
06:40 of the promotion of a general of the Armed Forces of the Philippines.
06:45 This is followed by a complaint of a mother's abuse to her wife and children.
06:50 This is followed by a complaint of a mother's abuse to her wife and children.
06:52 This allegation was made seriously to Brigadier General Ranulfo Sevilla,
07:00 Deputy Commander of AFP Special Operations Command,
07:03 nominated for promotion to AFP.
07:05 The Commission on Appointments faced the Committee on National Defense
07:08 to appeal the mother's abuse to their mother
07:13 and not to give sustenance to their children
07:16 even if there is a court order to do so.
07:18 We have been suffering for a long time.
07:21 Sustenance? 2,000 pesos?
07:25 From an AFP officer?
07:28 No amount of, sorry, no amount of money will make me back down.
07:35 We deserve to be vindicated.
07:37 In addition, Sevilla's wife
07:40 has been harassing them continuously,
07:43 so they are hiding now.
07:44 She is being hurt by the mister,
07:46 so she asked for a protection order from the court.
07:49 Allegation that their child is being abused.
07:51 When I left the room, I saw that she was hurting my mother.
07:58 I saw her shaking her, shouting.
08:04 I saw her being slapped.
08:08 Then she left suddenly.
08:10 I know that wasn't the first time he has done that to my mother.
08:15 They are being abused by their children.
08:18 Their father is being hurt.
08:20 I saw him hurting my brother.
08:23 But he never hit you?
08:25 He also hit my little brother before.
08:28 How many times?
08:30 How?
08:31 He hit my little brother before, with a belt.
08:38 Sevilla's wife has asked for help several times
08:41 to the AFP's leadership.
08:43 But she said that she just heard her allegations.
08:45 Is the AFP above the law?
08:48 Even if there is a court order,
08:49 it cannot be fulfilled because it is inside the house.
08:51 Is that what the AFP is trying to do?
08:54 They are letting the child live inside the house,
08:59 inside our own house.
09:01 Because of the complaints of the mother and father,
09:04 the committee has changed the confirmation of Sevilla's promotion
09:08 as Brigadier General to study the issue.
09:11 Senate President Meg Siviri said
09:13 that there are other promotions and confirmations of officials
09:16 that the Commission on Appointment did not follow
09:19 because of other complaints,
09:21 such as concubinage and sexual harassment.
09:23 Your performance record as a government official is not enough.
09:28 You need a good moral character.
09:30 Because everyone will blame you.
09:33 And we feel that if you want to be in government,
09:37 particularly in appointed positions like that,
09:39 you should be a good moral character.
09:41 Brigadier General Sevilla refused to give a statement.
09:44 We also asked for a statement from the AFP's leadership.
09:47 For GMA Integrated News,
09:49 Ma'am Gonzales is your witness.
09:52 DepEd is allowing schools to suspend face-to-face classes
09:58 if they think the temperature is too hot.
10:01 DepEd is also allowing teachers to wear more comfortable clothes
10:05 instead of uniforms.
10:07 Students do not have required uniforms,
10:09 but they are allowed to wear fresher clothes.
10:13 And in anticipation,
10:14 the weather is expected to get hotter in the coming days.
10:18 Here in Metro Manila,
10:19 from March to May,
10:21 the heat index or temperature may rise to 40 to 43 degrees Celsius.
10:28 [Music]
10:33 Two Filipino boxers will enter the 2024 Paris Olympics.
10:38 One of them is Nesty Patesio,
10:40 who won silver in the last Tokyo Olympics.
10:43 Patesio won the Turkish title in the semifinals
10:46 in the women's 57kg in the first Olympic qualifying tournament in Italy.
10:52 Ira Villegas also qualified for the Paris Olympics.
10:56 His opponent from Bulgaria was not able to qualify for the 50kg quarterfinals.
11:01 Patesio and Villegas are the fifth and sixth Filipino boxers to enter the Paris Olympics in July.
11:09 Today, President Marcos visited German Chancellor Olaf Scholz
11:15 to discuss the AFP's training and South China Sea.
11:21 From Berlin, Germany,
11:23 please welcome Rafi Tima.
11:26 Rafi?
11:27 It's now 4 in the afternoon here in Berlin, Germany,
11:33 where the German-Filipino Business Forum was just held
11:36 led by the President and other officials of the government,
11:39 including DTIA Secretary Alfredo Pascual.
11:42 But the first activity of the President here in Berlin
11:45 is his visit to German Chancellor Olaf Scholz
11:48 where he was made an arrival on earth.
11:51 [Music]
11:55 President Bongbong Marcos personally visited German Chancellor Olaf Scholz
11:59 and made him an arrival on earth when the German Chancellor arrived at the Chancellery.
12:05 The President was accompanied by House Speaker Martin Romualdez,
12:12 DFA Secretary Enrique Manalo,
12:14 DTIA Secretary Alfredo Pascual,
12:16 PCOO Secretary Shelloy Garafil,
12:18 Philippine Ambassador to Germany Irene Susan Antibidad,
12:20 and other officials.
12:22 At the joint conference of the two leaders after the working lunch,
12:25 President Marcos thanked the continued assistance of Germany
12:28 in the capacity building of the Philippine Coast Guard,
12:31 which he is leading and is being harassed in the West Philippine Sea.
12:34 The President confirmed that before he arrived here,
12:37 the two countries' transportation agency signed a joint declaration of intent
12:41 to strengthen the cooperation of the maritime sector of the Philippines and Germany.
12:45 The President also announced the opening of the Philippines to help Germany,
12:49 not only in the training of AFP personnel, but also in cyber and maritime domains.
12:54 The German Chancellor also shared his personal experience of cooperation with the Filipinos.
12:59 When he was still a lawyer, he defended the Filipinos as seafarers,
13:03 showing how important the Filipinos are in this field.
13:07 The two leaders also talked a lot about the South China Sea.
13:12 It is important for Germany to respect international law
13:15 and respect the UNCLOS and the Arbitral Tribunal.
13:18 It is important to remember that China does not recognize the arbitral ruling
13:22 on where its decision is against the 10-Dash Line of China.
13:26 President Marcos added that the Philippines is open to discuss the issue of the West Philippine Sea,
13:31 but it should be in the right context.
13:34 The President reminded that no one recognizes the 10-Dash Line of China
13:38 that they based in Pagankin, in a large part of the South China Sea.
13:42 We have not rejected any proposals that China has made to us.
13:47 But the premise is something that we question.
13:53 And that premise that China has made is that their territory
13:58 follows what is now described as a 10-Dash Line.
14:04 This is not recognized by any country, any international body,
14:09 certainly not by the Philippines.
14:11 Our baselines have been well established for years now.
14:14 We have the economic zone that China has already intruded upon.
14:23 And until that premise that China has made,
14:28 in terms of all its discussions with the Philippines,
14:31 then it is very difficult to see a way forward.
14:34 I have already said it.
14:36 As I said earlier, respect for international law
14:42 is of the greatest importance to us.
14:45 This is, of course, equally true.
14:47 I will repeat what I said.
14:50 As I said earlier, respect for international law
14:53 is of the greatest importance to us.
14:55 And the same is true for the laws,
15:01 international law that govern international navigation.
15:04 We have the UN Convention on the Law of the Seas.
15:08 We've got an arbitral tribunal,
15:10 which happens to have a sea in my hometown, Hamburg.
15:14 And important judgments have been passed over the course of the year.
15:19 I believe it to be very important that each and everyone
15:22 adheres to the legislation in place.
15:24 We've talked about this today, as I said,
15:27 and I made it clear that we support the Philippines
15:30 in ensuring that the rights are being protected.
15:38 After the business forum earlier, Pia,
15:40 President Bongbong Marcos will attend business meetings
15:44 before his meeting with the Filipino community here in Berlin.
15:48 And that's the latest from Berlin, Germany.
15:50 For GMI Integrated News, I'm Rafi Tima, your witness.
15:55 A dog that stole Xeno did not run away from the A-listers
16:03 in the 96th Academy Awards.
16:06 Some dogs in Turkey have a big mission against stress.
16:11 Our witness.
16:13 Ready to fly.
16:20 But what if a dog is nervous to fly?
16:24 On duty, like the five therapy dogs at Istanbul Airport in Turkey,
16:30 their mission is to pet and scratch.
16:36 This helps to calm and relieve stress of passengers
16:40 before their flight.
16:42 It's very relaxing for me.
16:46 I love animals. It's very good.
16:50 As you know that traveling can be stressful.
16:53 For this reason, we improved this project.
16:57 According to the search, interaction between animals and humans
17:02 reduces the stress level and anxiety.
17:05 The project was prepared by the airport's management for 6 months.
17:10 And they hope to train five more therapy dogs.
17:15 In Birmingham, England, out of 20,000 dogs,
17:22 one is a low-ranking dog.
17:24 Who does the highest honor go to?
17:26 The best in show.
17:29 The Australian Shepherd, Viking.
17:36 He's only 3 years old, but he won in showing off
17:40 his different skills to other dogs in a 4-day dog show.
17:45 The best in show, in the 96th Academy Awards in America,
17:51 is the 7-year-old Border Collie, Messi.
17:54 Very formal and wearing a bow tie.
17:57 He's even sitting next to his fur mom and the audience.
18:02 Messi was born as Snoop's guide dog
18:06 in the Oscar-nominated film, "Anatomy of a Fall".
18:10 For GMA Integrated News,
18:12 JP Soriano is your witness.
18:15 Thank you, Egan, for your witness.
18:19 I'm Arnold Glavio.
18:20 I'm Pia Arcangel.
