00:03 Live from the GMA Network Center,

00:06 20 years of learning, 24 hours.

00:10 Good evening, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.

00:14 Senator Juan Miguel Zubiri was asked as Senate President

00:19 after he did not follow the instructions of the powerful.

00:25 Zubiri admitted that he had a bad feeling about what happened

00:30 in the following charter change and the removal of the PIDEA League.

00:35 Next, Senator Cheese Escudero was declared as a replacement

00:39 and was nominated for the position.

00:41 Live from the GMA Network Center,

00:49 Vicky Maris Emil, in the last week of the Senate

00:52 before the long break of Congress, the leader was re-elected.

00:55 Under the new Senate President,

00:57 it seems that the talk of the charter change will be lost.

01:01 Our leadership, the Senate has seen some of the best approvals.

01:05 In the middle of the session of the Senate earlier,

01:07 Senate President Mig Zubiri was nominated.

01:10 I have never dictated my position on any of you, you know that.

01:14 I've always supported your independence,

01:16 which is probably why I faced my demise today.

01:20 I failed to follow instructions from the powers that be.

01:24 Simple as that.

01:26 I've listened to all my colleagues throughout my Senate presidency,

01:29 and again I listen to them today.

01:32 As we head into a new period for the Senate,

01:35 I fought the good fight.

01:38 If I've ruffled some feathers in doing so,

01:41 then so be it.

01:43 I did not accept the Senate's appointment of President

01:47 just to let it fall.

01:50 Today, I offer my resignation as Senate President of the Republic of the Philippines.

01:58 Zubiri one-on-one led the Senate for two years,

02:03 including the Senate's decision on the People's Initiative for the Charter Change of January.

02:08 I have put myself on the line to shield the Senate from all attacks,

02:12 particularly from efforts to diminish the powers of this institution

02:16 as the country's last bastion of democracy.

02:20 In January, we fought against the dreaded People's Initiative,

02:25 which would have destroyed this very institution I'm standing here right now.

02:31 God knows what I had to do to defend this.

02:34 Senator Ronald Bato de la Rosa could not help but cry while Zubiri gave a speech.

02:39 After Zubiri, the Senate leaders also stood up one-on-one.

02:44 Senator Cheese Escudero was nominated as the new Senate President.

02:47 No other nominee was nominated, so Escudero was declared the winner by acclamation.

02:52 The election of Senate President Francis Cheese Escudero is hereby recognized.

03:03 Congratulations, Senator Francis Cheese Escudero.

03:08 Escudero was also accompanied by his wife, Heart Evangelista, who was nominated.

03:12 My hats off to you, Senate President Zubiri. I salute you, and I hope I will make you proud.

03:18 There is no My Team, no Your Team for me.

03:22 No SPMIGS, no Cheese for me.

03:26 I think that each one of us is a member of a single Senate.

03:32 Senator Gingoy Estrada was nominated as the new Senate President Pro Tempore, while Senator Francis Tolentino was the new Majority Leader.

03:40 Minority Leader Senator Coco Pimentel will remain.

03:43 Zubiri will be the new Independent Senator, but he promised to help the new leader.

03:48 The chairperson of some committee members will also be replaced.

03:52 Zubiri admitted that he feels bad about what happened.

03:58 Last Wednesday, I found out that they were talking to each other.

04:06 And, uh, uh, there. It started.

04:11 So, we were watching over each other that weekend.

04:14 And I feel bad because there were people texting me, "We're with you. We're full support."

04:22 But, yes, 100% for you. Not a day has passed since you've been elected.

04:30 It's really hard to be a politician.

04:33 He started talking about the Charter Change and he was even more upset because of the PDEA leaks hearings.

04:39 I'm only presuming that is the cause because a lot of people told me,

04:45 "You know, stop the hearings, this and that."

04:52 It's hard to speak.

04:56 I must have ruffled other people's feathers from my independent stance of the Senate.

05:06 And it didn't stop. It didn't stop.

05:08 It started when we were still in the PIPOS Initiative.

05:16 We weren't in the timelines of the Charter Change.

05:21 That's when I felt that there were bad feelings.

05:26 And it's hard because I just want to maintain the independence of our institution, the Senate.

05:35 So I saw it coming.

05:38 Now, the head of the Senate Subcommittee on Constitutional Amendments has been replaced.

05:42 Zubiri said...

05:43 Goodbye Chacha.

05:45 Senator Scudero has already signed.

05:48 Senator Angara has already signed.

05:51 We had to cancel. Well, it's all canceled.

05:55 You know Senator Scudero is anti-Chacha.

05:58 He's openly anti-Chacha.

06:01 I hope the people that supported him know that.

06:04 As far as we're concerned, Chacha this week is dead.

06:07 New Senate President Scudero is fit to be replaced.

06:10 To his excellence, to his patience, to his hard work, to his unwavering love for the country.

06:18 Meanwhile, Senate President Scudero said that they will discuss with the Mayor

06:29 on how to re-arrange the committee chairmanships.

06:32 Thank you very much, Mov Gonzales.

06:35 At this point, we will now hear from the former Senate President, Senator Migz Zubiri.

06:41 Good evening to you Senator.

06:43 Thank you.

06:45 Senator, yes.

06:47 Hello Vicky, good evening to you and to all the fellow citizens watching.

06:50 Yes, very long day for you.

06:52 You said in your speech that you failed to follow instructions from the powers that be.

06:58 What do you mean by that?

07:01 What are the instructions?

07:05 Well, as I mentioned in the news item earlier,

07:08 you know, when it came to the PIPOS initiative, we fought against it.

07:15 Because of course, the Senate will be disbanded and we did not agree to protect the institution.

07:21 We really fought against it.

07:23 The Senate remained and the PIPOS was also disbanded.

07:27 When it started, that was January, February,

07:31 I saw some rumors, some black propaganda,

07:36 a bit of a slap in the face from our leaders and by our allies.

07:42 And I just said, we are defending the Senate as an institution,

07:48 as an independent institution of our country, as the last bastion of democracy.

07:53 I felt some yes, yes.

07:58 Senator, you said the powers that be.

08:01 Who are the powers that be that you are referring to in your statement?

08:05 Well, very influential people, maybe, who stood up for me.

08:11 Especially in this news item, many told me that because of the hearings of BATO,

08:16 some people stood up for me, asking why I continued the hearings.

08:22 You know, Vicky, when President Digong held the family of Senator Gordon,

08:32 that hearing lasted for a year, almost a year.

08:36 We did not stop that.

08:38 That is the prerogative of the committee chairman.

08:41 We give them their independence and their right to hold hearings like this.

08:46 So it is very difficult for me to tell my colleagues that they should stop those hearings,

08:53 that you should not hold hearings.

08:55 Because time and time again, in traditions of the Senate, in the rules of the Senate,

09:00 we allow under the committee system, the senators to conduct hearings.

09:06 We do not have that right as Senate President.

09:10 We are different from the House of Representatives.

09:12 And so we give them the proper leeway, which is given in the traditions and rules of the Senate.

09:17 That is why the news to me, someone stood up for me, I cannot tell you who stood up for me.

09:23 But because of that, I think this is the consequence of my action.

09:27 Unfortunately, I am just protecting the institution.

09:31 Senator, you mentioned, from instructions from the powers that be.

09:36 When you say powers that be, are you referring to the President?

09:39 To the First Lady?

09:41 I don't want to make guesses, but people that are influential enough to secure the votes.

09:51 You know, last Saturday, a lot of people texted me, "We have support, we are 100% with you.

09:59 You are our candidate, you are good for the institution."

10:03 After 24 hours of waking up, they are not answering me.

10:07 So, you know, that kind of reaction, especially from my friends,

10:13 who I consider to be my true friends, I am a bit heartbroken by these events.

10:19 It is really saddening.

10:21 And not just anyone, not just my fellow Senators can convince them of that.

10:28 Which is okay.

10:30 All is fair in love and war.

10:32 You know, that is politics.

10:33 We understand that.

10:35 We have been in politics for a long time, since 1998.

10:38 So, it is okay.

10:40 It is just that I am heartbroken that this happened.

10:43 I am heartbroken that my fellow Senators, whom I consider to be my true allies,

10:47 really broke up and left immediately.

10:53 We haven't even talked.

10:56 What is important is that my fight will continue.

11:00 I will continue my fight for the benefits to our workers,

11:06 for the programs and projects for the poor.

11:10 That will continue as an ordinary Senator.

11:14 Senator, yes.

11:15 How betrayed do you feel?

11:17 Because you said that you sense that you are being left alone in the Senate.

11:23 I mean, how do you feel at this point?

11:29 You know, I am the saddest person in this event.

11:32 I was one of the supporters of the Unity Team.

11:36 I was one of the supporters of the Digong Marcos match-up

11:41 and the Coming Together United for the country.

11:44 Then, there was a fight, a fight, and now it is divided.

11:53 I am a victim.

11:54 I was in the middle.

11:55 I said this in Senator Bato's hearing.

11:58 I said that a group of people were angry with me because I had subpoenas against their leaders.

12:04 This group is also angry with me because I allowed you to give that hearing.

12:09 So, I was in the middle.

12:11 That's okay with me because I fought for the institution.

12:14 Because the institution is very important.

12:17 Being the last bastion of democracy, I really respect the tradition of our Senate.

12:23 And because of that, maybe someone was angry with me, someone was angry with me.

12:27 And this is our situation.

12:29 But I would like to thank my fellow members who stayed with me.

12:35 First of all, Senator Sunny Angara, Senator Joel Villanueva, Senator Lauren Legarda,

12:43 Senator Nancy Binay, Senator JV Ayres, Senator Sherwin Gatchalian.

12:49 They really, until the very end, believe in our leadership that the rules-based and traditions-based Senate in our Republic should remain.

13:01 Senators, regarding the Pidea Leaks, you said that you may have ruffled some feathers on the independent stance of the Senate.

13:08 What are your instructions on the Pidea Leaks?

13:11 Are you being stopped?

13:17 Well, there are a lot of intermediaries who are talking to me.

13:20 "This is not good for you, Senator Subiri. A lot of people will be mad at you." Etc.

13:28 So, I told them, I couldn't stop Senator Richard Gordon.

13:34 He was the chairperson of the Blue Ribbon Committee for a year.

13:38 He was the one who was leading the Farmally issue.

13:41 And I congratulate him because of his findings.

13:43 Look at what happened. There were cases where the ombudsman used those hearings.

13:50 So, who am I to stop my colleagues from doing their job if that is allowed under the rules?

13:59 That's why I said, I pray and hope that Senate President Escudero will still continue to uphold the rules and traditions of the Senate.

14:09 He should not change them or change them for a group only.

14:16 And we will keep an eye on it.

14:18 Our group will keep an eye on it to make sure that the traditions will continue.

14:23 Senator, what is the fate of the Charter Change and the hearings on the Pidea Leaks?

14:28 Where does that stand now?

14:33 Well, I'm sure there will be committee changes. I don't know what their plans are with our new leader.

14:42 As far as the RBH 6 hearings, this Friday and Thursday in Cebu and Friday in Cagayan de Oro, I think it's cancelled.

14:54 It will not continue because the chairman of the subcommittee, Senator Angara, resigned.

15:01 Of course, Senator Chiese will not agree because he is anti-Chia.

15:06 So, the reform of the Constitution will be stopped.

15:11 So, those are the hard facts and I think we will respect the decision of the majority and the leadership particularly on this issue.

15:20 So, as far as we're concerned, the Charter Change hearings this week are all cancelled.

15:26 You've spent the best years of your life in the Senate.

15:28 How painful is this? Can you describe it?

15:31 Well, I said earlier that I'm heartbroken.

15:39 You know, it's okay for me to be in politics because we can do it.

15:43 As a politician, we know that it's our own advocacy, our own adhikain.

15:51 We are only as good as our team, the ones who support us.

15:55 The only ones who are in pain are the ones who are trying.

15:58 That's the only thing that hurts.

16:00 And I forgive them and I hope that the future, I hope that history will be kind to things like this.

16:11 For me, it's a test of character.

16:13 So, Senator, for the new leaders of the Senate, I hope that you do your jobs well.

16:21 When you said "tridor," what are you referring to?

16:25 I said earlier in my speech that I'm heartbroken because those are the ones who are giving messages

16:36 that they are 100% for me, they believe in our struggle, and of course, we are thankful for their support.

16:49 And then, on the last day, last night, they are no longer answering.

16:57 It's hard to be a politician in our country, Vicky. It's really hard.

17:02 It's hard. And it's hard to stay principled as a politician.

17:05 So, I don't want to impute any malice to my fellowmen.

17:10 Of course, I'm heartbroken, but once again, I don't want to rain on the parade of Senator Chisos Correo.

17:16 Congratulations, Senator President Chisos Correo, and we wish you well.

17:21 Does the President still enjoy your support at this point?

17:24 That's for another discussion.

17:35 Thank you very much, Vicky, for your time, and I hope that all we do here is for the good of the country.

17:43 Alright. Anything else you want to add? Maybe to your colleagues at the Senate?

17:49 Thank you very much to all the people who are watching.

17:52 Yes, and to my colleagues, again, I want to thank those who stood by me, who believed in our fight,

17:59 who helped me defend the institution.

18:01 You know, there was a time when I thought our institution would be gone,

18:05 and it might become irrelevant that we really fought for it.

18:09 And I'm just sad that it had to end this way, but I respect the decision of the majority.

18:16 I'm a good soldier, and it's my time now to step down and signing off as your former Senate President.

18:25 Alright. Thank you very much for your time, Senator Biggs, and good night to you.

18:33 The two police officers who were appointed by the Special Action Force were arrested after a Chinese national

18:40 who was serving as a bodyguard was arrested.

18:42 Chino Gaston was arrested.

18:44 The two police officers who were appointed by the Special Action Force were arrested this Saturday night

18:51 for physical assault in a subdivision in Muntinlupa.

18:55 They were both members of the Special Action Force who were supposed to be stationed in Zamboanga City.

19:00 But the two police officers were booked by the bodyguards of a Chinese national,

19:04 so they were released from their positions and filed an administrative case while investigating.

19:10 According to the police officers who were arrested,

19:13 a battalion commander in Zamboanga City ordered them to leave.

19:17 According to PNP Chief Romel Francisco Marbil,

19:20 seven other officers were released from their positions,

19:23 including the battalion commander, company commander, and platoon leaders, while the investigation is not yet over.

19:29 Those who were released that night, not because they gave an order, but they account his personnel.

19:35 Every day, we are accounted, not only in staff, but in every other units.

19:39 If we are accounted, we are there.

19:41 According to the PNP, the Police Security Protection Group is the only one,

19:45 and no other unit of the PNP can provide security escorts to authorized individuals.

19:51 For GMA Integrated News, Chino Gaston was arrested 24 hours.

19:58 The Interior Department of the Government of Banban Mayor Alice Guo was removed from office.

20:03 The local police of the town, Ian Cruz, was arrested.

20:07 The Banban Mayor Alice Guo was not in the regular flag-raising ceremony of the municipality,

20:16 but her supporters gathered there.

20:19 Guo was defended by her vice mayor, the former mayor who became her ticket in the 2022 elections.

20:27 I know that our operation here is okay.

20:30 I don't see any operation here that is not right.

20:36 Based on the investigation, we will know.

20:39 She has known Guo since 2001.

20:42 At that time, she was only 15 years old.

20:45 She is still young in her age.

20:47 I met Mayor Alice when I was the mayor of 2001 to 2004.

20:54 She went to my office to apply for a permit for their figure.

21:02 When the CIO gave us the permit, I saw her there.

21:05 The Interior Department has now announced the removal of Mayor Guo

21:11 by the local police of Banban.

21:15 We will withdraw the deputization of Mayor Guo.

21:19 As a consequence, all the privileges attached to her are revoked immediately,

21:24 including its control and supervision of its local police.

21:28 The government has also submitted the fact-finding report to the allegation

21:32 by the mayor of the operation of the raid of Pogo in Banban.

21:36 The question of the appointment of Guo is still separate,

21:39 as the Senate cannot answer some details of her upbringing and education.

21:45 We cannot detail our findings,

21:49 but we can say in general that we found very serious legal implications.

21:56 The punishment can be either suspension or dismissal from public service.

22:02 The defendants will be filed as a complaint to the Ombudsman.

22:07 We cannot dismiss, we cannot suspend, we do not have a preventive suspension.

22:10 So we have given it for proper disposition.

22:13 If this is what the Ombudsman wants.

22:16 The separate fact-finding of the mayor of the operation of the raid of Pogo

22:19 is being continued by the Office of the Solicitor General, which is a high priority.

22:24 It was first stated that they can file a co-warrantor petition

22:28 if the right of Mayor Guo to hold public office is questionable.

22:34 We are trying to get the testimony of Mayor Guo.

22:36 The lawyer who is standing here said that he will ask for permission from the mayor to release the statement.

22:42 For GMA Integrated News, Ian Cruz, 24 Hours.

22:46 The Napolcom's Picoy Santiago and PIDEA agent Jonathan Morales were cited in contempt in the Senate

22:54 for the alleged lies of the PIDEA leaks.

22:58 The former Executive Secretary Paquito Ochoa was also accused of having stopped an operation against their personality.

23:05 Ma'am Gonzalez was also charged.

23:10 The former Executive Secretary Paquito Ochoa was also accused of having knowledge of a humanoid anti-drug operation

23:17 that was referred to a humanoid document that was being spread by some vloggers but was denied by PIDEA.

23:23 He also denied the former PIDEA agent Jonathan Morales, who accused him of stopping the operation in March 2012.

23:30 He also denied the former PIDEA Deputy Director General Carlos Gadapan

23:35 and the pre-operation authority that he disapproved of.

23:39 Are you aware that sometime in 2013, the Liceo of Malacanang invited Mr. Morales for a briefing regarding PIDEA operations,

23:50 including those that were halted?

23:52 I was never informed of such meeting and even after that meeting,

23:56 there was no report submitted to me in regard to what transpired in that meeting.

24:02 Ochoa also confirmed that his former partner, First Lady Liza Araneta Marcos, was in a law firm that they established in 2006.

24:09 But he left the firm when he was appointed as the former Executive Secretary of President Noy Aquino in 2010.

24:16 These are just insinuations that you had an interest in stopping the operations because, again, you were influenced by your partner in the law firm.

24:29 That's true, Your Honor.

24:30 Meanwhile, Eric Picoy-Santiago denied the allegations against Morales,

24:35 claiming that he was just doing his job to lower the standard of living of the people.

24:40 Morales even showed him the CCTV footage while talking to Santiago.

24:45 You are lying!

24:46 Come again, sir?

24:48 You are lying!

24:49 That's just my opinion, sir.

24:52 From the beginning until now.

24:55 As Chairman of this committee, I am going to cite you in contempt for lying. Any objection?

25:00 Hearing done.

25:04 I'm ready for the court.

25:05 You are cited in contempt.

25:07 You take custody of this person.

25:12 You are deceiving us.

25:18 You are deceiving us.

25:25 Morales and Sen. Jingo Estrada also got heated again.

25:28 Morales' personal data sheet or PDS was taken away.

25:32 This is your handwriting.

25:35 I don't know, Your Honor.

25:37 Can you give me the original copy of what Sen. Jingo Estrada said about my PDS?

25:48 Because the PDS he is showing now is a fake Xerox copy.

25:54 Who put "No"?

25:55 A thief?

25:56 Your Honor, these are the people I left...

26:00 Your Honor, did you...

26:02 PIDEA.

26:03 PIDEA?

26:04 Who is this? Where did this come from?

26:07 This is from Sen. Jingo Estrada. He checked the file of his file.

26:13 Your Honor, I am not Jonathan Morales.

26:17 PIDEA is not Jonathan Morales.

26:20 Mr. Chair.

26:24 Mr. Chair, I move that he be cited in contempt.

26:28 There is a motion...

26:29 For continuously lying before this committee.

26:32 Mr. Jonathan Morales is hereby cited in contempt before this committee.

26:35 He was struck and is in the hospital.

26:38 That's why he was brought to the hearing via video call by Manjin James Kumar

26:42 who was mentioned in the CCTV footage at Morales' house.

26:45 He was talking to a woman.

26:47 He was like he was trying to sell me to him.

26:49 I did nothing. This is not right.

26:53 The hearing was suspended and Dela Rosa said that they will wait for Kumar to face the personnel.

26:58 For GMA Integrated News, Mav Gonzales, 24 Hours.

27:03 The government promised that the Filipino fishermen should not be afraid.

27:10 China then ordered the arrest of the non-Chinese who cross the so-called "border" in the sea.

27:17 Joseph Moro was arrested.

27:21 It's been a long time since the Filipino fishermen have been released from the Bajo de Mocinloco fishing shoal,

27:28 which is in the Exclusive Economic Zone or EEG of the Philippines,

27:32 and will add to the fear.

27:34 China's Coast Guard Directive is to arrest the non-Chinese fishermen

27:39 who crossed the sea in their area starting June 15.

27:42 It was announced along with a civilian mission in the West Philippine Sea

27:46 last week. They will be in prison for up to two months and will be arrested even if there is no prosecution.

27:52 They should not do that because we know our law.

27:58 Despite this, according to the government, the Filipino fishermen should not be afraid.

28:04 Don't be affected. They have no right to stop you from fishing in our Exclusive Economic Zone.

28:12 Continue fishing in the West Philippine Sea.

28:17 The law and the government are behind you.

28:22 The Chinese Coast Guard has no right to arrest or stop you.

28:27 The 2016 Arbitral Award, the 9-9, and the historical claim of China in the South China Sea and the West Philippine Sea

28:33 were removed.

28:55 If there is a need and there is an instruction from the National Task Force on the West Philippine Sea to escort,

29:01 the Philippine Coast Guard is ready.

29:03 The Coast Guard believes that China will have a hard time because there are other Southeast Asian fishermen

29:09 in the territories of China.

29:11 If they will do that to the Vietnamese, Malaysian, Indonesian, Taiwanese, Brunei,

29:18 and all that they will catch, not the soldiers, civilians, ordinary fishermen,

29:24 their problem will be bigger.

29:27 According to the Chinese Foreign Ministry, there is nothing to worry about the illegal activities in the area.

29:33 Meanwhile, the National Task Force for the West Philippine Sea issued the violations of the history of China

29:39 in the 2016 Arbitral Award, such as the collection of giant clams of protected species.

29:47 In the vast and numerous collection of giant clams of China,

29:50 we will not see giant clams because they are gone.

29:56 The puffer fish and fish from China are also being caught.

29:59 It is being studied and the DOJ and the Office of the Solicitor General are saying that

30:03 the Philippines will file a complaint against China regarding this.

30:07 There is a certain consensus within the government that we may need to file a case.

30:33 In the mountainous region of East Azerbaijan,

30:36 the crashed helicopter that President Raisi was flying after 24 hours of searching.

30:43 According to an Iranian official in Reuters,

30:46 the helicopter passed through the border of Azerbaijan yesterday.

31:16 Canadian colleagues are now looking for those arrested and charged with the $16 billion fraud

31:25 in the Batangas incident last April.

31:27 John Consuta was on the scene.

31:29 The Bureau of Immigration, Regional Research Unit, and Regional Intelligence Division of NCRPO

31:38 arrested this Canadian national.

31:43 He is one of the suspects behind the $16 billion fraud

31:48 that was found at a checkpoint in the Batangas incident this April.

31:52 But he was arrested this Thursday because of the Interpol Red Notice.

31:56 He was wanted for being the leader of a group of drug dealers in America and Canada.

32:02 His bag was also inspected.

32:05 I'll turn off the camera. Thank you.

32:07 First.

32:11 That's better.

32:13 Some plastic was recovered containing weak shabu, cocaine, and ecstasy.

32:19 These are the items that were recovered by the NCRPO suspect here in Cavite.

32:26 Seven cell phones and a tablet.

32:28 But what caught the eye were the numerous pieces of ID from his bag.

32:33 What caught the eye were the numerous pieces of ID that had one face

32:38 but he used seven different names.

32:42 Two days after being investigated this Friday for the possession of dangerous drugs,

32:48 he was confronted by the Interior Department and PNP in the media.

32:52 We helped each other in order to investigate further

32:57 and profile all the people somehow connected here leading to the arrest.

33:05 That's the key.

33:06 The key is cooperation and commitment of each and everyone.

33:11 Earlier, PNP denied the use of drugs by the group of drug dealers

33:17 to enter their possession of drugs in the country.

33:20 They've been doing this for years.

33:22 Are you involved in any way in bringing in drugs here in the Philippines?

33:27 Or are we just a transit point?

33:29 Or are we the end target for these illegal drugs?

33:32 No comment. I speak to a lawyer. Thank you.

33:35 We will continue to track down all involved individuals and networks

33:40 to ensure justice as we strive towards a safer, drug-free Philippines.

33:46 The follow-up operation of the NCRPO and Calabarzon Police continues

37:12 about the relationship between the characters of Alden, Ethan and Joy.

37:17 It feels very familiar but at the same time, it's different this time.

37:23 Because it's been five years.

37:24 I've changed. I think we all did.

37:26 We all changed.

37:27 So, what happened to our growth in those five years?

37:32 And of course, what will be the growth when it comes to Ethan and Joy?

37:36 We thought we already said our goodbyes.

37:38 But here we are, saying our hellos.

37:45 In Canada, where the director of the movie "Cathy Garcia-Sampana"

37:55 We just continue the story, the place is changing.

37:58 But still, this is all about Filipino workers working and living abroad.

38:03 Aside from this dream come true for Alden,

38:06 his upcoming film with Kath is a new inspiration.

38:09 Direk and Kath, I missed you.

38:13 You wake up in the morning and you have something to look forward to.

38:16 So, I'm so excited. I'm very happy that this is happening.
