00:03 Live from the GMA Network Center,

00:06 20 years of Katutok, 25 Hours.

00:10 Good evening Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.

00:14 Tragedy after a black hole formed in a school in Alfonso Cavite.

00:21 Four students fell inside, one of them died.

00:25 The family called for help in the burial.

00:29 Live from Katutok, Mark Salazar.

00:32 Mark.

00:33 Vicky Emil Ivan, we are here in Alfonso Cavite

00:40 for an unexpected accident.

00:43 No one was hurt, but a student's life was cut short

00:47 inside their school.

00:49 This black hole formed in Sinaliu Elementary School in Alfonso Cavite

00:58 while four students were sitting on top of it.

01:01 This happened yesterday at 12.30.

01:07 The victim was eating.

01:12 Then, the stone they were sitting on

01:17 was placed there.

01:19 Then, it was smoking.

01:21 The smoke went down to the septic tank

01:26 which was left dry for a long time.

01:28 In the small septic tank,

01:31 the children were lying on the ground

01:33 with debris.

01:35 According to the police,

01:37 one of the victims died in the treatment.

01:41 When it fell, the debris hit the children.

01:48 The three children were injured.

01:57 Outpatient?

01:58 Yes, sir.

01:59 Crizel Ronario, a grade 5 student, was found dead.

02:04 Her mother did not expect the tragedy to happen.

02:08 I was sent to the school

02:10 to report an emergency.

02:13 When I went to the school,

02:15 the ambulance that was brought to the nearby hospital was gone.

02:21 When I got there,

02:23 the teachers told me that my child was gone.

02:26 When we went to Sinaliu Elementary School

02:30 to talk to the principal,

02:32 we were not able to reach him.

02:34 According to the police,

02:35 they cancelled the class

02:37 because of the trauma that the students suffered.

02:40 I don't know if we will complain

02:44 because I haven't thought about my child's future.

02:50 We just want to be helped.

02:58 It was an accident.

02:59 It was not intentional.

03:01 Did you talk to the principal?

03:04 Not yet, sir.

03:05 We are waiting for their statement.

03:12 We will talk to them.

03:14 Maybe they are family.

03:16 We will talk to them.

03:18 Emil, we sent a message

03:25 to the office of DepEd Alfonso District.

03:29 But we haven't received their response.

03:31 Live from Alfonso, Cavite, for GME Integrated News,

03:35 Mark Salazar, 24 Hours.

03:39 Thank you, Mark Salazar.

03:41 A week after the problem in Rizal,

03:46 residents are facing yellow and smelly water.

03:50 They are now spending on purifying water.

03:54 Manila Water explains how Maki Pulido is doing.

03:57 Yellow and smelly.

04:00 This is how the water from the taps helps

04:03 many customers of Manila Water in Angono, Binangonan,

04:06 and Cardona, Rizal since Wednesday last week.

04:10 It's yellow.

04:12 It's like we are digging a hole.

04:15 It's like we are digging a hole in the ground.

04:17 Jenny's son was injured in his arm

04:19 because of the excessive sweat

04:21 from using the bath water.

04:23 I couldn't sleep because of the excessive sweat.

04:27 But Cassandra says there's no choice

04:29 but to bathe.

04:31 It's hot when you don't bathe.

04:33 So I'm just enduring it.

04:35 They are also worried about the expenses

04:37 if they still use purified water for bathing.

04:40 For now, they are buying 4 gallons of purified water

04:43 for drinking, cooking, and washing food.

04:47 That's an additional 100 pesos every day

04:49 since last week.

04:51 18,000 service connections are affected.

04:54 Even for small businesses like Jessica's,

04:57 she's worried about the additional expenses.

04:59 She uses 10 gallons of purified water

05:02 every day for her business

05:04 instead of not using tap water.

05:06 I'm afraid that my business will be lost.

05:09 This has a huge effect on us.

05:11 That's why I hope that we can go back to the way it was.

05:16 Manila Water's explanation is that

05:18 algae or moss in Laguna Lake

05:21 is being collected by the water supply

05:23 due to the sudden rain after the hot weather.

05:26 Cardona Water Treatment Plant

05:28 didn't allow this.

05:30 We have chemicals to treat the algae.

05:34 But since the level of organisms is high,

05:39 we can't do it now.

05:41 So we will gradually add more to our treatment process

05:45 until we address the quality

05:50 that is being produced by Cardona Treatment Plant.

05:53 But Manila Water said that

05:55 the water quality will gradually return to normal

05:57 starting today.

05:59 It will start from the amount of water

06:01 being supplied in Laguna Lake.

06:03 Manila Water also said that

06:05 the water is past the parameters of the river

06:07 even though it's yellow and smells.

06:09 That's why the reason why some residents

06:11 are not using water is because of the drought.

06:13 It's past all the parameters

06:15 that are specified by the

06:17 DOH, the Philippine National Standards for Drinking Water.

06:22 But some customers said that

06:24 they were forced to spend money on purifying water.

06:27 This should be reduced from their bill.

06:29 If possible,

06:31 we can't afford to pay for that.

06:34 We can't afford to pay for that.

06:37 Manila Water said that

06:39 this depends on the decision of the MWSS Regulatory Office.

06:42 The MWSS is investigating this

06:44 and it depends on the result

06:46 if the affected customers will receive a refund.

06:49 For GMA Integrated News,

06:51 Mackie Pulido reporting for 24 Hours.

06:54 There's no storm or bad weather yet

06:57 and we still don't have any rain.

07:00 But some places in the country

07:02 experienced rain

07:04 and there are landslides.

07:06 That's what Tina Panginiban-Perez is reporting.

07:25 The road to Barangay Badas,

07:27 Mati City in Davao Oriental

07:29 is almost unreachable.

07:31 The thick mud

07:33 is due to the formation of land

07:35 on the side of the mountain.

07:37 Many motorists

07:39 were stranded for several hours

07:41 because they had to remove

07:43 the rocks and stones from the road

07:45 by the local government's

07:47 rumesponding personnel.

07:49 There were also landslides

07:51 in Natonin Mountain Province

07:53 after heavy rain.

07:55 A branch of a tree was damaged

07:57 and the rice plant was almost washed out

07:59 which was almost ready to be planted.

08:04 The next floods and landslides

08:06 were also heavy rains

08:08 in Samal, Bataan.

08:10 The rainfalls

08:12 were almost a week long.

08:14 The town of Virac in Catanduanes

08:18 rained early this morning

08:20 but it was only for a short time

08:22 and the weather was hot again.

08:24 According to the forecast,

08:26 the rains and landslides

08:28 in some parts of the country

08:30 are due to thunderstorms

08:32 as the rain approaches.

08:34 For GMA Integrated News,

08:36 Tina Panganiban Perez,

08:38 Nakatuto 24 Hora.

08:40 The new Senate President

08:44 G.Z. Escudero denied

08:46 that the palace has a connection

08:48 with the Senate.

08:50 The leaders of the Senate

08:52 have now forgotten

08:54 the changes of the Senate

08:56 including the signing of the resolution

08:58 for the election of Dian

09:00 to Bato Dela Rosa.

09:02 Who stuck it out to me

09:04 till the very end.

09:06 Sir, I salute you, sir.

09:08 Senator Bato Dela Rosa

09:12 was moved by Senator Mig Zubiri's

09:14 salutation to his

09:16 valedictory speech yesterday.

09:18 Bato was hugged by the

09:20 Senator's wife before the session.

09:22 At that time, Zubiri did not know

09:24 that Dela Rosa was one of the

09:26 signatories of the resolution

09:28 to replace him as Senate President.

09:30 I cried because

09:32 for me,

09:34 being a good soldier,

09:36 what I want to say to Mig

09:38 is

09:40 sorry boss,

09:42 I failed to win the war

09:44 for you. His mission

09:46 to me is

09:48 to secure

09:50 my party, the PDP

09:52 to continue to support him.

09:54 Dela Rosa is the chairman

09:56 of the Senate Committee on Public Order

09:58 and Dangerous Drugs, which investigates

10:00 the so-called PDEA leaks

10:02 that are linked to President Bongbong Marcos' drug deal.

10:04 According to Zubiri,

10:06 one of the possible reasons

10:08 for his resignation is because

10:10 he was not able to stop the hearing.

10:12 So when Bato found out

10:14 what he did, Zubiri said,

10:16 If yesterday I was heartbroken,

10:18 then I was dumbfounded.

10:20 I really can't get it.

10:22 I can't think, I can't grasp

10:24 what happened.

10:26 At least,

10:28 he knows that

10:30 I defended him as

10:32 a chairman of the committee.

10:34 And because of that,

10:36 he made a sacrifice,

10:38 I was the one who made the sacrifice

10:40 that I lost my position.

10:42 In Zubiri's interview

10:44 at 24 hours last night, he used

10:46 the word "tridor" because

10:48 of the people who said

10:50 they will support him.

10:52 I don't think it's just the people who say "tridor"

10:54 that's the only thing that hurts.

10:56 I forgive them,

10:58 I just have a test of character.

11:00 Before the session started,

11:02 Dela Rosa approached Zubiri.

11:04 I talked to him, I told him

11:06 to give me a chance.

11:08 I still can't...

11:10 process.

11:14 I still can't process what happened.

11:16 I told him, give me time,

11:18 you still haven't hugged my wife.

11:20 Dela Rosa, 14 other senators

11:22 signed the resolution

11:24 to replace the Senate leader.

11:26 According to the new Senate President,

11:28 Senator Cheese Escudero,

11:30 he took the initiative to get the position.

11:32 He doesn't want to say

11:34 why he decided to be Senate President.

11:36 He started campaigning

11:38 for fellow senators last Thursday.

11:40 But he denied that Malacanang

11:42 or Camara had anything to do with the

11:44 replacement of the Senate leader.

11:46 At any point, you have any conversation

11:48 with the Senator, with the First Lady,

11:50 or with the President?

11:52 We met last week, Wednesday,

11:54 the birthday of some congressmen,

11:56 with my brother.

11:58 But this is an open and public gathering.

12:00 We're talking about the leadership change.

12:02 Camara has nothing to do with the leadership change.

12:04 And the same goes for the fellow senators.

12:06 The Senate has nothing to do

12:08 with the leadership

12:10 and the fellow senators.

12:12 Sorry to ask,

12:14 what is your...

12:16 He has 13 votes already.

12:18 He's the majority of the Senate.

12:20 The seven senators who did not sign the resolution

12:22 will remain in one block.

12:24 But they will still think

12:26 if they will be independent.

12:28 But the former Majority Leader,

12:30 Senator Joel Villanueva,

12:32 I can be a minority.

12:34 We also talked about that with Sen. Coco.

12:36 If others will join me,

12:40 what's going to happen?

12:42 I think we have enough time

12:44 to decide on it.

12:46 The new Majority Leader,

12:48 Francis Tolentino, said that the Senate

12:50 will not be rubber-stamped

12:52 or followed by the Senate

12:54 just like the Charter Change.

12:56 It has to be proven,

12:58 but the Senate is not rubber-stamped.

13:00 You saw what the Senate President said

13:02 yesterday

13:04 that he will stop

13:06 the roadshow hearings

13:08 of economic provisions.

13:10 The chairmanship of the committee

13:12 is already suspended

13:14 including the Senate Subcommittee

13:16 on Constitutional Amendments

13:18 that is listening to the Charter Change.

13:20 That's why the Senate's discussion

13:22 with Chacha...

13:24 It's suspended until we change it

13:26 and we will continue it.

13:28 But you know my position.

13:30 I will not change it.

13:32 In a post,

13:34 President Marcos Q. Escudero

13:36 expressed his support.

13:38 For GMA Integrated News,

13:40 we will continue our discussion

13:42 for the next 24 hours.

13:44 The Chamber of Commerce

13:46 is confident that its relationship

13:48 with the Senate will be strengthened

13:50 following the appointment

13:52 of Senate President Chief Escudero.

13:54 And along with the greeting to Escudero,

13:56 House Speaker Martin Romualdez said

13:58 that he believes that their legislative agenda

14:00 will be strengthened

14:02 and that the implementation

14:04 of the programs will be successful.

14:06 Some students were dazed

14:08 while practicing

14:10 inside an auditorium.

14:12 According to the principal,

14:14 it's because of hunger.

14:16 Some students were told that it's hot

14:18 because the air conditioner is off.

14:20 KENT ABRIGANA was interviewed

14:22 by GMA Regional TV, Juan Mindanao.

14:24 In this exclusive video,

14:30 Davos Central 911,

14:32 BFP and Kapulisan

14:34 in Anda Street, Poblacion District, Davos City

14:36 last night.

14:38 Some grade 7 students

14:40 of Santa Ana National High School

14:42 were dazed and died while practicing

14:44 inside an auditorium.

14:46 Some students were given water

14:48 and food after they fainted.

14:50 According to the principal,

14:52 it's possible that the students

14:54 were hungry.

14:56 We're the grade 7 learners.

14:58 It's their first time

15:00 to

15:02 present or to practice

15:04 before a big stage.

15:06 And then, out of their excitement,

15:08 they woke up very early.

15:10 They ate very

15:12 late. And then,

15:14 of course, when we perform,

15:16 it needs a lot of stamina

15:18 and endurance.

15:20 Some students were told that

15:22 it's hot inside the auditorium

15:24 because the aircon is not on.

15:26 According to the principal of the auditorium,

15:28 the auditorium is free

15:30 for the recital

15:32 today. That's why there's no aircon.

15:34 The organizer knows this.

15:36 The organizer told me

15:38 that if you bring

15:40 an electric fan,

15:42 you can see that there's no fan

15:44 and no air.

15:46 Or unless you pay,

15:48 you can turn on the aircon.

15:50 Now, the DepEd 11

15:52 is a witness to the incident.

15:54 The police has a message.

15:56 On the right, especially

15:58 for those who bring kids,

16:00 this is a welfare for the kids.

16:02 If they can hold

16:04 practice or delay.

16:06 This is a safety

16:08 for the kids.

16:10 The eight students

16:12 are in good condition.

16:14 They performed

16:16 in their recital today.

16:18 The auditorium will be more strict

16:20 for the police.

16:22 They will not use their facility

16:24 if the aircon is not on.

16:26 From GMA Regional TV,

16:28 Juan Mindanao and GMA Integrated News,

16:30 Kent, Abregana,

16:32 24 Horas.

16:34 The former

16:36 Executive Secretary of the Duterte

16:38 Administration, the Defense Secretary

16:40 of the Aquino Administration,

16:42 promised China in 2013.

16:44 But a congressman

16:46 made an arbitrary ruling

16:48 in 2016.

16:50 So, it should not be continued

16:52 after that.

16:54 Jonathan Andal is on the air.

16:56 Along with the argument that

17:00 there is no gentleman's agreement,

17:02 the former President Rodrigo Duterte

17:04 and Chinese President Xi Jinping

17:06 insisted in the hearing of the former

17:08 Executive Secretary of the Duterte

17:10 that the Defense Secretary of the Aquino Administration

17:12 promised to China.

17:14 He limited it to

17:16 food and water

17:18 to those sent to the BRP Sierra Madre

17:20 which is adjacent to Ayunin Shoal.

17:22 The status quo

17:24 at the Ayunin Shoal,

17:26 BRP Sierra Madre,

17:28 was in a 2013

17:30 commitment of

17:32 former Defense Secretary

17:34 to the Chinese Ambassador

17:36 Ma Keqing

17:38 that he would only deliver food

17:40 and water

17:42 to the Marines stationed at the

17:44 Sierra Madre.

17:46 However,

17:48 we maintain the position of status quo

17:50 that supposedly

17:52 there is no repair.

17:54 No repair whatsoever.

17:58 There is no gentleman's agreement,

18:00 but there was an agreement

18:02 in public of

18:04 there was a policy

18:06 not to repair the BRP

18:08 Sierra Madre.

18:10 That is quite a revelation for me, Mr. Chair.

18:12 That was not our

18:14 administration.

18:16 It was the previous administration.

18:18 But that allegation was not

18:20 confirmed by the next Defense Secretary of

18:22 Gasmin, Delphine Lorenzana.

18:24 There was no such thing

18:26 transmitted to me

18:28 by Secretary Gasmin.

18:30 But it is not

18:32 true that we did not do

18:34 some repairs because

18:36 in 2021, that was the

18:38 start of the

18:40 water cannon of China because

18:42 they claimed that

18:44 we are bringing repair materials

18:46 to Sierra Madre.

18:48 We did the repairs

18:50 until I left office in

18:52 2022. So those repairs were

18:54 continuous by the Navy.

18:56 We are still trying to get the BRP of Gasmin.

18:58 Some congressmen said that if

19:00 the agreement was true in 2013,

19:02 it should not be continued by the

19:04 Duterte administration because in 2016

19:06 there is a clear arbitral ruling

19:08 that the Philippines is the one who should be inshored.

19:10 My supposed status

19:12 has not changed because I think

19:14 if that were the case,

19:16 we would have postured our foreign policy

19:18 anchored on the PCA ruling.

19:22 At the very least, by that time,

19:24 the negotiation should be revoked.

19:26 Medialdea said

19:28 that Duterte helped Xi

19:30 eight times

19:32 from October 2016 until August 2019.

19:34 In some meetings,

19:36 former National Security Advisor,

19:38 President Esperon, said that he did not hear

19:40 any agreement. Instead,

19:42 he said,

19:44 "I want to inform you again

19:46 and make you aware

19:48 that we have the arbitral ruling.

19:52 We want to

19:54 take advantage

19:56 and explore and exploit

19:58 what is in our

20:00 sovereign

20:02 rights

20:04 insofar as the EEZ is

20:06 concerned."

20:08 And so they went to talk about

20:10 fishing rights

20:12 in Bajo Dimas, in Luh.

20:14 As well as the exploration

20:16 and exploitation of resources

20:18 under the sea,

20:20 the seabed.

20:22 More specifically on

20:24 oil or natural gas.

20:26 Next, we will invite

20:28 Gasmene and the former

20:30 presidential spokesman, Harry Roque,

20:32 who exchanged the agreement of the unborn gentleman

20:34 but not the former president.

20:36 No need to invite

20:38 the former president

20:40 as long as

20:42 the information is obtained

20:44 from the current

20:46 policy makers as well as

20:48 the former.

20:50 For GMA Integrated News,

20:52 Jonathan Andal, 24 Hours.

20:54 Dear listeners,

21:00 a low-pressure area in the

21:02 Philippine Area of Responsibility

21:04 may enter the next days.

21:06 The cloud cluster that is being monitored

21:08 outside the FAR may form

21:10 as an LPA, according to the forecast.

21:12 It may enter on Thursday

21:14 and it will approach the Bicol Region

21:16 or Eastern Visayas.

21:18 It may rain some of its cloud

21:20 in the eastern portions of the country before

21:22 it recurves or moves away

21:24 from the weekend.

21:26 For now, this has no effect and there may be

21:28 a change, so we will continue

21:30 to focus on Easter Lease

21:32 or the hot air from

21:34 the Pacific Ocean that will affect

21:36 the whole country. That is why the heat index

21:38 in many places may still

21:40 exceed the danger level heat index.

21:42 The hottest tomorrow will reach

21:44 46 degrees Celsius.

21:46 It will be between 42 to 44 degrees Celsius

21:48 in other provinces.

21:50 The heat is not yet over and

21:52 we are just in the transition period

21:54 to the rainy season.

21:56 But it will rain some of the country

21:58 especially by the afternoon.

22:00 According to the Metro Weather,

22:02 the chances of rain in Cagayan Valley,

22:04 Pampas, San Francisco, and Cordillera,

22:06 Central Luzon, Mimaropa, and Bicol Region

22:08 are high. There is a chance of heavy rain

22:10 or a landslide.

22:12 There are also scattered rains expected

22:14 in Visayas and in a province

22:16 called Northern Mindanao, BARM,

22:18 Soxardian, and Davao Region.

22:20 There is heavy to intense rain in some parts

22:22 of Maguindanao and Sultan Kudarat.

22:24 In Metro Manila, the temperature will reach

22:26 43 degrees Celsius but

22:28 be prepared if it suddenly rains

22:30 in the afternoon or evening.

22:32 Because of the heavy

22:34 and heavy garbage,

22:36 the machine overheated and

22:38 the Pasig River Ferry's journey was interrupted.

22:40 MMDA reminded the public

22:42 to be responsible for

22:44 throwing garbage.

22:46 Dano Tingkungco was on duty.

22:48 The Pasig River Ferry's journey

22:52 was interrupted

22:54 at 8.30 am

22:56 in the PUP Station

22:58 to Loton, Manila because of garbage.

23:00 According to the Pasig River Ferry Service,

23:02 this is the heaviest garbage

23:04 in the ferry since

23:06 the rain started.

23:08 Every day, we experience

23:10 garbage in the ferry

23:12 but this is the heaviest

23:14 garbage in the ferry.

23:16 Not even three trash

23:20 skimmers could carry the garbage

23:22 that was thrown in the river.

23:24 The two ferry boats

23:26 could not carry the garbage

23:28 that was thrown in the river.

23:30 The two ferry boats

23:32 are now returning

23:34 but their machines

23:36 overheated

23:38 because of the garbage

23:40 that they were passing through.

23:42 I dispatched two available

23:44 boats from our nearby dockyard

23:46 to follow the passengers

23:48 that if

23:50 the two boats overheat,

23:52 we can transfer them

23:54 from Valenzuela Station

23:56 to Loton Station.

23:58 The ferry was about to be suspended

24:00 but because there were passengers

24:02 that needed to be transported,

24:04 a solution was found to continue the journey.

24:06 We were forced to transfer

24:08 to Loton Station.

24:10 It's good that the passengers

24:12 were able to arrive

24:14 but the ferry's journey

24:16 was slow.

24:18 When we returned,

24:20 the ferry was again

24:22 overheated.

24:24 It took us two hours

24:26 to reach the dockyard.

24:28 The MMDA issued a warning

24:30 to the public

24:32 that they are responsible

24:34 for the garbage that was thrown.

24:36 Around 4 p.m.,

24:38 the situation in the Lombingan Station

24:40 in Santa Ana, Manila

24:42 is much better.

24:44 When the water level

24:46 drops, the garbage

24:48 that flows under the river

24:50 starts to come out.

24:52 The garbage is coming out

24:54 and our journey is getting longer.

24:56 What is your call

24:58 to the people living by the river?

25:00 They should avoid throwing garbage

25:02 into the river

25:04 because it also

25:06 causes delays

25:08 when the ferry

25:10 is traveling.

25:12 And then, the river

25:14 is getting smelly.

25:16 For GMA Integrated News,

25:18 I arrived at the dock 24 hours ago.

25:20 The basketball league

25:22 in Cagayan de Oro

25:24 is still in the process of awarding.

25:26 We will continue with the rumble

25:28 hosted by Cyril Chavez

25:30 of GMA Regional TV.

25:32 One minute now.

25:34 In the rumble,

25:36 the awarding ceremony

25:38 for the basketball league

25:40 in Barangay Bugo,

25:42 Cagayan de Oro City

25:44 was supposed to be held last Sunday.

25:46 The rumble started with two players

25:48 and their game was already heated.

25:50 In the awarding ceremony,

25:52 Nico Umano played

25:54 as one player until

25:56 the ball hit the goal.

25:58 Other players and

26:00 the crowd joined in.

26:02 It lasted for a few minutes

26:04 before it stopped.

26:06 According to Puerto Police Station,

26:08 those who responded to the place

26:10 were the ones who intervened

26:12 to stop the two groups.

26:14 The police responded

26:16 and the two groups

26:18 were included in their

26:20 both sides and both parties.

26:22 They were fighting but they reached the goal.

26:24 They reached the goal in Barangay.

26:26 In the social media post of Barangay Capitan

26:28 Spencer Cailing,

26:30 all of them said that

26:32 the basketball team that started the rumble

26:34 was banned from their league in Barangay.

26:36 For GMA Regional TV,

26:38 one minute now

26:40 and GMA Integrated News,

26:42 Cyril Chavez

26:44 scored 24 hours.

26:46 There was no rehabilitation

26:50 for the effect of the Super Typhoon Yolanda

26:52 that happened in the last administration

26:54 and this administration was followed

26:56 according to President Bongbong Marcos.

26:58 This is what the former officials

27:00 of the Administration Aquino and Duterte

27:02 said in my statement.

27:04 While in Tacloban,

27:06 the President was asked yesterday

27:08 about the bad condition of the National Highway

27:10 that continues to drop the permission

27:12 of the National Highway Administration.

27:14 The President's answer was

27:16 to return to the rule of Yolanda

27:18 and that it is out of action

27:20 by the following administrations.

27:22 We haven't fully recovered yet.

27:24 We haven't fully recovered yet

27:26 and we are already in Yolanda.

27:28 So that's still

27:30 all those rehabilitation,

27:32 you know, we only really started

27:34 two years ago

27:36 because nothing was done

27:38 in the previous administration.

27:40 Nothing was done in the administration

27:42 before that.

27:44 Twelve years on,

27:46 we are still not fully recovered.

27:48 But the plan is there,

27:50 the funding will be available

27:52 whenever the schedule requires it.

27:54 So yes, that's what we are doing.

27:56 Two administrations passed

28:00 before Marcos was appointed.

28:02 The Aquino and Duterte administrations.

28:04 After the disaster of Yolanda

28:08 and Duterte that affected the lives

28:10 of 6,000 people,

28:12 Noy Noy Aquino appointed

28:14 former Senator Panfilo Lacson

28:16 as Presidential Assistant for Rehabilitation

28:18 and Recovery.

28:20 In his statement,

28:22 Lacson said that he did

28:24 and fulfilled the work

28:26 he was assigned to do for the rehabilitation.

28:28 He is just sad that he has no power

28:30 to fulfill and issue funds

28:32 for the rehabilitation and recovery

28:34 from the prison that Yolanda left.

28:36 Former Presidential Legal Counsel

28:38 and Speaker of the House,

28:40 Salvador Panelo,

28:42 defended and said that

28:44 Marcos was misinformed.

28:46 The Aquino administration

28:48 was able to build

28:50 160,000 houses

28:52 that were divided in 2014.

28:54 45,000 housing units

28:56 were built and divided

28:58 by the Duterte administration.

29:00 At the end of its term in 2022,

29:02 85% of the

29:04 target houses were divided.

29:06 According to Panelo,

29:08 the current administration is continuing

29:10 the work on rehabilitation.

29:12 But it should be recognized

29:14 the work of the current and

29:16 the last two administrations.

29:18 According to the annual audit report of COA

29:20 in the NHA, almost 43,000

29:22 housing units were built

29:24 for those in the area of Baguio-Yolanda

29:26 at the end of 2016.

29:28 Most of them were built during

29:30 the Aquino administration.

29:32 The Aquino program was

29:34 the most successful program

29:36 during the Duterte administration.

29:38 At the end of 2022,

29:40 166,034 houses were built.

29:42 For GMA Integrated News,

29:44 Ivan Meirena,

29:46 24 Hours.

29:48 Mayor Alice Guo called

29:50 the questions in the Senate

29:52 as traumatic

29:54 and she was not able to answer

29:56 to avoid the father from getting involved.

29:58 And she said that the explanation

30:00 of the father's son

30:02 in his house.

30:04 Senator El Tiveros said

30:06 there are still doubts

30:08 like Guo's incorporation

30:10 in POGO in Bamban

30:12 with other leaders who have abroad cases.

30:14 Maris Umali was the one who was pointed out.

30:16 Your Honor, I don't remember him.

30:22 I don't remember him.

30:24 The answer of Bamban Mayor Alice Guo

30:26 in the question of the Senators

30:28 about his personality,

30:30 she explained in the statement

30:32 on her social media page.

30:34 The mayor also asked for a response

30:36 in a statement posted online.

30:38 She said that she was almost blank

30:40 whenever she was in front of the Senators.

30:42 The questions in the Senate hearing

30:44 about her identity were traumatic

30:46 because it will refresh

30:48 the wound of her family.

30:50 She said that her father's son

30:52 is her son in their house.

30:54 She was left by her real mother

30:56 and hid in a hog farm.

30:58 She was avoided

31:00 from things that would give her

31:02 recognition.

31:04 That's the reason why she has no experience.

31:06 She was denied the real home tutor

31:08 and no paper or diploma

31:10 of a formal education.

31:12 And it's true that she only knew

31:14 her mother's name

31:16 when her birth was registered

31:18 when she was a teenager.

31:20 She avoided the questions

31:22 because she didn't want to involve

31:24 her father in the issue.

31:26 In both statements, she denied

31:28 that she had connections with the Pogo raid

31:30 in Bambang.

31:32 She didn't go to the protector

31:34 or behind the illegal operation.

31:36 She also wasn't a spy of any country.

31:38 She also denied to her fellow Filipinos

31:40 that she is a real Filipino.

31:42 As a mayor,

31:44 she didn't receive any notice

31:46 about the illegal activities of Pogo

31:48 before it was raided.

31:50 But she pointed out that it was licensed

31:52 by the Pag Corps office in Pogo Compound.

31:54 And Pag Corps is responsible

31:56 to flag or suppress

31:58 any kind of raid.

32:00 We even tried to ask Pag Corps

32:02 to be involved.

32:04 She also gave her duties to the countrymen

32:06 so she was allowed to build

32:08 the Pogo Hub.

32:10 But Pogo Compound was already built

32:12 before she became a mayor in 2022.

32:14 She was even listed by the company

32:16 that applied for a permit

32:18 in the municipality in September 2020.

32:20 Senator Risa Ontiveros

32:22 is now a Pogo Inc.

32:24 based on the documents

32:26 that were submitted in 2019

32:28 by the Securities and Exchange Commission

32:30 or SEC.

32:32 The Chinese, Zhang Ruijin,

32:34 and the Dominican,

32:36 Bao Ying Lin,

32:38 were also convicted last month

32:40 after being involved in the largest

32:42 money laundering case in Singapore.

32:44 Bao Ying is also facing

32:46 some cases.

32:48 The NAPLCOM is now working with Mayor Guo

32:50 as part of the process

32:52 of removing the authority

32:54 of the local police

32:56 to study if this case

32:58 has a basis.

33:00 This week, they are expecting

33:02 the NAPLCOM's decision to be released.

33:04 Even the Philippine National Police

33:06 is investigating the case.

33:08 We are also investigating

33:10 if the local police

33:12 of Banban, Tarlac

33:14 have been involved

33:16 in the illegal activities

33:18 of the Pogo related business.

33:20 For GMA Integrated News,

33:22 Maris Umali, Nagtotok 24 Hours.

33:24 The PNP's

33:26 extensive investigation

33:28 has concluded

33:30 after a bodyguard

33:32 was seen serving

33:34 as a Chinese national.

33:36 The two members of the PNP staff

33:38 convinced the PNP

33:40 that there is a link

33:42 in the incident.

33:44 [music]

33:46 After convincing

33:48 the two members of the Special Action Force

33:50 that illegal immigrants

33:52 provide protection to a Chinese national,

33:54 the PNP is now

33:56 conducting a more extensive investigation.

33:58 Even our regional directors

34:00 were given instructions

34:02 to account

34:04 their personnel. There is a possibility

34:06 that there might be other units,

34:08 PNP units providing unauthorized security.

34:10 The staff is now investigating

34:12 where the two

34:14 police officers were assigned.

34:16 They were found to be in Metro Manila.

34:18 They were supposed to be in Zamboanga.

34:20 Aside from the alleged

34:22 illegal immigrants

34:24 that the PNP is looking for,

34:26 the Police Security and Protection Group

34:28 is authorized to provide security

34:30 to individuals with a risk

34:32 to their lives.

34:34 We have to check if there are other staff

34:36 personnel involved in providing

34:38 protective security.

34:40 We're just opening a can of worms here.

34:42 Aside from the two staff,

34:44 seven more are expected to be affected

34:46 by the administrative case.

34:48 The PNP is convinced

34:50 that the Chinese national

34:52 paid for the police bodyguards.

34:54 Logic dictates

34:56 that the services of the two

34:58 police officers are not free.

35:00 Definitely, heads will roll

35:02 in this particular case.

35:04 For GMA Integrated News, June Valerio,

35:06 24 Hours.

35:08 The RICE

35:10 Certification Law is now in the House.

35:12 231 judges

35:14 voted for it

35:16 in its third and final reading.

35:18 One of the reasons for the amendment

35:20 is to return the power of selling rice

35:22 to the country to lower

35:24 the price of it.

35:26 The power was lost in 2019

35:28 because of the RICE Certification Law.

35:30 According to President Bongbong Marcos,

35:32 he is ready for an urgent

35:34 certification.

35:36 There is an increase

35:38 in the number of COVID-19 cases

35:40 in the country

35:42 according to the Department of Health.

35:44 From May 7 to May 13,

35:46 more than 800

35:48 new cases were reported

35:50 in the country,

35:52 equivalent to 125 average cases

35:54 per day.

35:56 Seven of the new cases are severe and critical,

35:58 while five died

36:00 from April 30 to May 13.

36:02 According to the DOH,

36:04 although there is an increase

36:06 in the number of cases,

36:08 it is still lower than

36:10 those monitored before,

36:12 especially in the wake of the pandemic.

36:14 All regions in the Philippines

36:16 are still low-risk for COVID-19,

36:18 so travel restrictions are not required.

36:20 But the bad feelings

36:22 are still being encouraged

36:24 to stay at home

36:26 or wear a face mask

36:28 if you really need to go out.

36:30 In addition to the DOH,

36:32 it is still necessary to wash

36:34 your hands regularly

36:36 and avoid

36:38 places that are

36:40 likely to be infected with COVID-19.

36:42 Like

36:44 the cyber-label

36:46 Belkenz Pharmaceutical Inc.

36:48 against Dr. Tonilia Chon

36:50 for following her allegations.

36:52 The following day,

36:54 Chon posted a video on social media

36:56 that Belkenz is involved

36:58 in a multi-level marketing or pyramiding scheme

37:00 and is asking for overprescribed

37:02 drugs to be given to doctors

37:04 in exchange for expensive cars,

37:06 travel and other incentives.

37:08 Belkenz is also open

37:10 and is involved in any government-related investigation.

37:12 According to Chon,

37:14 this is a clear attempt to

37:16 clear the issue and to

37:18 scare the critics.

37:20 She called it a desperate effort to stop the investigation

37:22 and manipulate the public's opinion.

37:24 She also discussed

37:26 the issue in the Senate

37:28 and the basis of her comments

37:30 is the "hurtful integrity"

37:32 of the medical profession.

37:34 She said, "the public should be the one

37:36 to talk about this to the medical community."

37:38 And that is the news for today,

37:42 I am Vicky Morales.

37:44 I am Ivan Meyrina. For a bigger mission,

37:46 for a wider service to the country,

37:48 I am Emil Sumangyo.
