00:00 Live from the GMA Network Center,

00:04 20 years have passed, 24 hours.

00:09 Good evening, Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.

00:14 It's confirmed that a 14-year-old woman in Misamis, Oriental,

00:20 was killed after a tree fell in the middle of a storm.

00:23 Five people who are in the Wisa, Calabarzo,

00:26 are still being verified by the Office of Civil Defense.

00:29 Chino Gaston was also affected.

00:31 There's no storm signal in the country,

00:38 but many farmers were left in the flood of the storm,

00:42 like the one in Orora.

00:44 The rice fields near the river were destroyed.

00:47 Although it's a consolation to some,

00:50 it brought rain to the old dry farms.

00:54 The boat was washed away in a place near Pantalan.

00:59 In Mauman, Quezon, the barge that was washed away

01:01 by the strong waves this Sunday

01:03 is still in Pantalan.

01:05 On the left and right,

01:06 the boat was left in the flood in some towns.

01:10 Some still have no electricity because of the damaged posts.

01:14 But the 300 stranded in Realport

01:17 in the aftermath of the storm

01:19 were allowed to sail to Polilio Island.

01:22 Almost 100,000 food packs were brought by DSWD

01:26 to the fishermen in Quezon.

01:28 Financial assistance is also being processed.

01:31 It's important that the storm left a strong impression

01:34 in Calabarzon,

01:35 as well as in Northern Mindanao

01:37 and other parts of the country.

01:39 According to the Office of Civil Defense,

01:41 a 14-year-old woman was confirmed dead

01:44 when a tree fell in Misamis, Oriental.

01:46 Five other women were also confirmed dead in Calabarzon.

01:51 Right now, we have five other reported deaths

01:55 all from Calabarzon that have not yet been validated.

02:00 Once they are validated, we will report.

02:05 If they are not validated...

02:08 More than 12,000 families from 16 provinces

02:12 were affected by the storm.

02:14 Of the affected roads,

02:16 only five are undergoing road clearing operations

02:19 in Central Luzon, Calabarzon and Bicol regions.

02:22 For GMA Integrated News,

02:24 I'm Chirug Gaston with 24 Hours.

02:27 Next up, the storm is calling for help

02:34 for the thousands of residents.

02:36 In Quezon, several towns are already under the state of calamity.

02:41 This is broadcast live by Denise Abante

02:43 of GMA Regional TV,

02:45 Balitang Southern Tagalog.

02:47 Denise.

02:48 Mel, it's still hard to wake up

02:53 to the loud noise of the storm

02:56 in the province of Quezon.

02:58 They are calling for help from the government.

03:01 The roofs collapsed,

03:06 houses were destroyed,

03:08 trees fell,

03:09 and white dust from the river.

03:12 That is the latest storm

03:15 in some homes in Lucena City.

03:17 Here in Barangay Cota, Lucena City,

03:19 more than 24,000 residents

03:22 were affected by the widespread flooding

03:24 caused by the Agjon Storm.

03:25 For the first time,

03:27 the river overflowed,

03:29 causing the flood to reach some houses

03:31 that were affected by the flood.

03:33 Here in Puroc Matahimik Island.

03:35 Ms. Linda is injured in her leg

03:38 after being hit by a rock

03:40 in the middle of the storm.

03:42 She has been wearing her clothes

03:43 since last Saturday.

03:45 She has nothing to wear

03:46 because all her belongings

03:48 were submerged in water.

03:49 She is asking for help and assistance.

03:53 It's really hard.

03:54 I don't want to die.

03:56 I don't want to experience

03:57 the hardship that I will do.

03:59 I will do everything.

04:00 No one else will help me.

04:02 We were given a big help.

04:04 What I want to happen now

04:05 is to add a toothbrush,

04:08 a pillow,

04:10 clothes,

04:12 and underwear.

04:13 We still can't buy those.

04:15 Marvina's husband

04:16 is removing thick white dust.

04:18 All of their belongings

04:20 were also submerged in water.

04:22 Their daughter's graduation is tomorrow.

04:24 That's why they are forced to remove their uniform

04:26 but it's getting worse

04:27 because of the family's distress.

04:29 Of course, it's sad.

04:30 I don't know what to do.

04:32 I just need a little help

04:34 to get the clothes here in Lucena.

04:36 My two children will graduate

04:38 without shoes.

04:39 I just need to get them some clothes.

04:40 That's all.

04:41 Even us,

04:42 we didn't expect

04:44 that the flood would be this high

04:46 and that the situation in Barangay Cota

04:48 would be this affected.

04:49 It's the first time

04:51 that the flood has risen this high.

04:53 Earlier this morning,

04:54 GMA Capuso Foundation distributed

04:56 food packs to residents in Barangay Cota.

04:59 Among them,

05:00 were Linda and Marvina.

05:02 This is a big help

05:03 for those who were lost

05:04 because of the wide flood.

05:06 The help of Lucena City

05:08 to the affected residents

05:09 is also being distributed.

05:10 At the moment,

05:11 Lucena City is already in a state of calamity

05:13 and several other towns

05:15 in the 1st and 2nd District

05:16 of Quezon Province.

05:18 According to the Quezon PDRRMO,

05:20 more than 3,600 families

05:22 or approximately 1,000 individuals

05:24 were affected by the flood

05:26 in the province.

05:27 In Mauban, Quezon,

05:31 the heavy rain again.

05:33 Today, in Sitio Baling Balingan,

05:35 in Barangay Daungan,

05:36 the houses were damaged.

05:39 The boats were washed away by the strong waves

05:42 and the garbage was dumped

05:44 from the sea.

05:45 The house of Tatay Juan

05:46 was made of wood and iron

05:48 along with the damaged house.

05:50 His boat was also not saved

05:52 from the flood.

05:53 I hope I can be of help

05:55 to recover again.

05:57 I can sail again

05:59 on my own boat.

06:01 I'm alone on the boat

06:03 to find a house again.

06:05 The barangay is very thankful

06:07 that it left the shore

06:08 and was brought to the deep part of the sea

06:10 the damaged barge

06:12 in the aftermath of the storm last Sunday.

06:15 Mel, the provincial government of Quezon

06:21 is continuously conducting relief operations

06:23 to the affected residents

06:25 in the province.

06:26 That's the latest from Quezon.

06:28 Back to you.

06:29 Thank you very much,

06:31 Denise Abonte,

06:32 of GMA Regional TV,

06:34 Balisang Southern Tagalog.

06:35 President Bongbong Marcos

06:38 is in Brunei now

06:39 for his first state visit there.

06:41 Earlier,

06:42 he visited several counties

06:44 with the Sultan of Brunei.

06:46 He was able to meet Sandra Aguinaldo live.

06:48 Sandra.

06:49 Assalamualaikum, Emil.

06:54 From Brunei,

06:56 where President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.

06:58 visited several countries

07:00 including Brunei and the Philippines

07:02 for his first state visit.

07:09 Around 10 a.m.

07:11 President Bongbong Marcos

07:13 and First Lady Liza Marcos

07:15 arrived at Bandar Seri Bigawan Airport

07:18 for a two-day state visit

07:20 in Brunei.

07:21 The first couple went straight to

07:25 Istana Nurul Iman

07:26 or Palace of the Light of Faith,

07:28 the official residence of the Sultan

07:30 and seat of government of Brunei.

07:32 Here, they were greeted

07:34 by Sultan Hassanal Bolquia

07:36 and his wife.

07:37 President Marcos

07:39 gave 21 gun salutes

07:41 to his first state visit in Brunei.

07:43 The two leaders also had a general audience

07:54 where Marcos thanked the Sultan

07:57 for his warm welcome.

07:59 The bilateral meeting

08:01 between Marcos and Sultan Bolquia

08:03 was also held in Palacio.

08:05 Marcos thanked the help of Brunei

08:08 for the natural disasters

08:10 and COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines.

08:13 Brunei also celebrated

08:15 the 40th anniversary of the freedom of the Sultanate

08:18 which also marked the 40th anniversary

08:20 of diplomatic relations between the two countries.

08:23 The two countries also agreed

08:25 on a Memorandum of Understanding

08:27 on Tourism Cooperation,

08:29 Maritime Cooperation,

08:31 and the recognition of Standards of Training,

08:33 Certification, and Watchkeeping

08:35 for Seafarers.

08:37 The agreement on tourism was also aimed

08:39 to increase the number of tourists

08:41 visiting the two countries.

08:43 A letter of intent was also passed

08:45 on the Cooperation on Agriculture

08:47 which could provide ways

08:49 to increase the products exported

08:51 by the Philippines to Brunei.

08:53 President Marcos also participated

08:55 in the gathering of the Filipino community

08:57 here in Brunei.

08:59 According to the DFA, there are 25,000

09:01 Filipinos here

09:03 and based on the data of the

09:05 Central Bank of the Philippines,

09:07 their remittance is worth

09:09 Php 1.6 billion.

09:11 In his speech,

09:13 Marcos praised the overseas Filipino workers.

09:16 He also highlighted the continued

09:18 investment in infrastructure

09:20 as part of the re-establishment

09:22 of the country's borders.

09:24 In the past, in 2023,

09:26 we already approved

09:28 an investment

09:30 of Php 1.26 trillion.

09:34 Our airport is already

09:36 being used by the government.

09:38 We have Php 170.6 billion

09:42 to be brought

09:46 to improve our passenger terminals.

09:49 Before he left for Brunei,

09:52 President Marcos gave the government

09:54 a recognition

09:56 that the needs of the people

09:58 in the area

10:00 of Baguio-Agjon are being met.

10:02 He said that the DSWD is already

10:04 providing assistance while the search

10:06 and rescue and retrieval teams

10:08 of AFP, BFP,

10:10 and Philippine Coast Guard are continuing.

10:12 We will continue

10:14 and we will not stop

10:16 until we finish

10:18 our assistance

10:20 to the people in the area,

10:22 to the victims

10:24 here in

10:26 our areas

10:28 that were hit by the Agon.

10:30 [Music]

10:32 [Music]

10:35 Emil, tomorrow,

10:37 the President is expected to bring

10:39 some assistance

10:41 with the business leaders here in Brunei.

10:43 After that, he will fly

10:45 to Singapore

10:47 to be part of the ISSS

10:49 Shangri-La Dialogue.

10:51 That's the last news

10:53 from Bandar Seribigawan, Brunei.

10:55 Back to you, Emil.

10:57 Thank you very much,

10:59 Sandra Aguinaldo.

11:01 It is felt that the effect

11:03 of the Agon

11:05 is particular to the price of vegetables.

11:07 If how much was increased,

11:09 find out in the interview of Bernadette Reyes.

11:11 [Music]

11:13 Do you want to back-bet?

11:17 Budget first because

11:19 Tagalog vegetables are expensive.

11:21 In Mega Q Mart in Casan City, for example,

11:23 the price of some vegetables is 20 to 40 pesos

11:25 like string beans, okra,

11:27 bitter melon, eggplant, and tomato.

11:29 The vegetables are really increasing

11:31 because of the rain.

11:33 Most of the time, it's all damaged.

11:35 This is just new.

11:37 According to the Department of Agriculture,

11:39 the number of typhoons in Calabarzon

11:41 is known by the producer of Tagalog vegetables.

11:43 In Laguna, the price of

11:45 pinzada in agriculture is 5 million pesos

11:47 while 4.5 million in queso.

11:49 Almost 12 million pesos

11:51 in the whole country.

11:53 But the Agri Department said,

11:55 "It has little effect because it can be supplemented.

11:57 Our lowland vegetables

11:59 like central luzon

12:01 and cagayan valley are enough."

12:03 The supply of agri products is not enough.

12:05 The price of pork has increased

12:07 but not because of the typhoon

12:09 but because of the continuous effect

12:11 of African swine fever.

12:13 It's up to 225 pesos per kilo

12:15 from the previous 210 pesos only.

12:17 "It will take a little time

12:19 to recover

12:21 our hog industry.

12:23 Unless we have that vaccine,

12:25 it will be very, very difficult

12:27 to control African swine fever."

12:29 "Pork is really expensive."

12:31 In the last price monitoring

12:33 of the Department of Agriculture,

12:35 the price of pork in their families

12:37 in Metro Manila

12:39 reached up to 420 pesos per kilo.

12:41 But in the recent news,

12:43 they saw that some families

12:45 have a low price.

12:47 The price of cassim is only 263 pesos

12:49 which reached up to 380 pesos

12:51 in their families.

12:53 While pork is only 345 pesos.

12:55 The DA's program is to reduce

12:57 the cost of production

12:59 and reduce the cost of the travel of products.

13:01 "We talked about not taking advantage

13:03 of the situation.

13:05 But there's a typhoon

13:07 in Quezon."

13:09 For GMA Integrated News,

13:11 Bernadette Reyes, 24 Hours.

13:13 The PNP filed a complaint

13:17 against the police and the soldiers

13:19 who were rocking as motorcycle escorts.

13:21 The PNP said

13:23 that the strong men in the casino

13:25 are the ones who are involved

13:27 in this situation.

13:29 June Veneracion was there.

13:31 "Don't you know that we are

13:35 pitiful that we are cleaning

13:37 our unit and you are doing this?"

13:39 The PNP Highway Patrol Group

13:41 filed a complaint against

13:43 the User Patient Authority,

13:45 the two motorcycle escorts

13:47 who were caught illegally.

13:49 One of them is a member of HPG

13:51 while the other is a former soldier

13:53 of his partner.

13:55 The police will also face administrative charges.

13:57 "Are you a police

13:59 or a soldier?"

14:01 "I'm not."

14:03 But aside from them,

14:05 the PNP chief also requested

14:07 to investigate the immediate commander

14:09 of the last member of HPG.

14:11 "You will see that justice will run.

14:13 We are not forgiving

14:15 for this kind of thing."

14:17 "Are you a soldier?"

14:19 "Yes."

14:21 "What unit are you in the AFP?"

14:23 "I'm in the Army."

14:25 According to the record of the Philippine Army,

14:27 the soldier who was arrested

14:29 was discharged in August 2022

14:31 due to the complaint of psychological

14:33 and economic abuse.

14:35 "With this incident,

14:37 even though we don't have a monitor

14:39 that can do this,

14:41 we will start an investigation.

14:43 We will check with the different

14:45 Philippine Army major units."

14:47 The two are in the same unit.

14:49 But HPG already has a list

14:51 of who are the people

14:53 who use the motorcycle escort.

14:55 "We have information also

14:57 that

14:59 some of them are also high rollers."

15:01 For GMA Integrated News,

15:03 Jun Vanara show is on 24 hours.

15:05 55 degrees Celsius.

15:09 That's how hot it is

15:11 in Giwan in the Eastern Samar

15:13 this day and this week.

15:15 It's a time

15:17 when the typhoon Agon

15:19 is still in our country.

15:21 It's already a typhoon

15:23 but why is it still like this?

15:25 The weather is still bad.

15:27 You know, in the play of Rafi Tima.

15:29 In the aftermath of the typhoon Agon

15:35 this week,

15:37 it's a sign

15:39 that the highest heat index

15:41 in Giwan Eastern Samar

15:43 will be declared this March

15:45 at 55 degrees Celsius.

15:47 It's a sign of hope.

15:49 It means that there's no problem

15:51 in Giwan so it's that hot.

15:53 "When the typhoon passed,

15:55 the sky cleared

15:57 because the cloud formation

15:59 concentrated around the periphery

16:01 of the typhoon. After that,

16:03 the sky cleared

16:05 and the sunlight came directly.

16:07 That's why it's hot."

16:09 In the midst of the extreme danger of heat,

16:11 residents are advised to be careful

16:13 and avoid sunbathing.

16:15 And even if there's no casualty,

16:17 don't be too cautious.

16:19 "We advise

16:21 the vulnerable sectors

16:23 to avoid the heat

16:25 especially between

16:27 10 o'clock and 4 o'clock."

16:29 A reminder of hope

16:31 that even if it rains,

16:33 it's normal to feel the extreme heat in the Philippines

16:35 because it's a tropical country.

16:37 But it's possible that it will be less

16:39 because next month,

16:41 it's possible that it will start raining.

16:43 "6 out of 13 stations

16:45 that we monitor

16:47 have been reported

16:49 to be continuously raining.

16:51 So it meets our criteria."

16:53 But while there's no official rain,

16:55 be careful of both sudden rain

16:57 and extreme heat.

16:59 For GMA Integrated News,

17:01 Rafi Tima, 24 Hours.

17:03 [music]

17:05 [music]

17:07 [music]

17:09 [music]

17:11 [music]

17:13 It died yesterday at a distance of 535 kilometers in the Basco Batanes, still in the typhoon category and moving north-east at a speed of 30 kilometers per hour.

17:25 It's possible that tomorrow, it will be out of the Philippine Area of Responsibility.

17:29 Because it's already far away, there's no higher wind signal.

17:32 The effect of this is not directly felt in the country, just beside the fact that it's moving towards south-westerly wind flow.

17:38 Aside from that, there's another weather system that will bring rain to some parts of the country, that is the Frontal System.

17:44 Based on the data of Metro Weather, tomorrow morning, it will rain in many places, especially in the northern part of the country.

17:50 It includes the Ilocos Region, Pangasinan, Zambales, Bataan, the provinces of Mindoro and Palawan, and Western Visayas.

17:57 The rain will be heavier and wider than yesterday.

18:00 It's almost the whole country and there's heavy to intense rains that could cause a landslide.

18:06 In Metro Manila, the chances of rain are still high so don't forget to bring an umbrella.

18:10 There's no higher gale warning.

18:12 The chances are high so the small vehicles will be able to cross the sea but be careful in the way you sail.

18:18 Despite the chances of rain tomorrow, some places will still experience extreme heat.

18:23 The heat index is possibly the highest tomorrow in the G1 Eastern Summer, which will reach 53 degrees Celsius,

18:29 45 degrees Celsius in Etiaga, Isabela, Veracataduanes, and Catarman Northern Summer.

18:35 It's 41 to 42 degrees Celsius in Metro Manila.

18:38 The opinion of the Senators on the proposed divorce bill is divided based on the survey conducted by Senator Jingoy Estrada.

18:47 Others have no opinion and will discuss the proposed bill first.

18:51 Ma'am Gonzales is on the line.

18:53 If the proposed divorce bill has passed the third and final reading in the House of Representatives,

19:02 it will take a long time for the Senate to pass its version.

19:05 For now, Senate Bill 2443 or Dissolution of Marriage Act is in the Committee on Rules and is not yet debated in the plenary.

19:13 But Senate President Pro Tempore, Senator Jingoy Estrada, has already surveyed fellow Senators on the divorce bill.

19:21 I thought it was a good idea to do a double survey because the House passed it already on the third reading.

19:28 So, yeah, I just want to get their thoughts on it because it's not our priority.

19:35 Estrada asked for six favors on the divorce bill.

19:39 Senator Lisa Conti Veros, Robin Padilla, Grace Poe, Amy Marcos, Pia Cayetano, and Rafi Tulfo.

19:46 The Senate President, Cheese Escudero, Senator Jingoy Estrada, Francis Tolentino, Joel Villanueva, and Bato de la Rosa have five contra.

19:55 Senate President Cheese Escudero has always said that it's better to make the annulment process easier than the divorce.

20:02 The grounds were expanded but the cases like this were not given a chance to be handled by the POW.

20:08 So, what will benefit from this is the rich who can pay their lawyers. It's easier for them.

20:15 What about the poor women? I thought we were doing this for them.

20:18 According to Estrada and Villanueva, their consideration is part of being a Christian.

20:24 I am a devout Catholic Church and there is another remedy, there is an annulment.

20:33 How can this affect our Filipino families?

20:37 Maybe there will be a drive-thru for all the cantos here in the Philippines.

20:41 If the couple fights, they will separate. Maybe we are not ready for that.

20:46 So we need to study this properly.

20:48 Veros said that the Senate was sponsored by the divorce bill.

20:52 I'm willing to work with my colleagues across the aisle to come up with a divorce law acceptable to all.

20:58 But of course, the needs of our fellow Filipinos should be centered.

21:03 Especially our women who want to get away from toxic and abusive relationships.

21:10 Senator JV Ejercito will listen to the discussions but he is more likely to favor the divorce now.

21:17 Senator Sunny Angara and Bong Revilla are still not able to decide on the issue

21:22 because they are still studying the bill.

21:25 For GMA Integrated News, Mav Gonzalez, for 24 Hours.

21:30 PhilHealth is studying to double the value of its answers to dialysis packages

21:39 which are currently at more than Php 2,000 per session.

21:43 Tina Panganibang Perez is also studying.

21:45 Mylene Abibiason is emotional when her husband's illness was discussed.

21:53 Her husband's chronic kidney disease is already at stage four when he was diagnosed.

21:57 He is getting dialysis twice a week.

22:01 We are spending Php 3,000 per week. It's really expensive.

22:10 Ferdinand Killang's son has been getting dialysis for six years.

22:15 Even though PhilHealth is paying a large portion of the expenses,

22:18 they are still paying Php 380 per session.

22:23 To help those who are getting dialysis, PhilHealth is studying to double the current Php 2,600 per session

22:32 of its dialysis package.

22:34 Earlier, he talked about PhilHealth and some officials of the Camera.

22:39 PhilHealth is studying to increase the number to Php 5,200.

22:45 Our goal is to make sure that dialysis patients are not out of pocket.

22:50 Based on our meeting earlier, it's doable.

22:53 Based on the funding and the funds,

22:58 every year, the PhilHealth Congress gives funds.

23:02 So, maybe that's where it will go.

23:05 Once the PhilHealth Board approves the increase in the dialysis package,

23:09 registrants at the National Kidney and Transplant Institute can avail.

23:15 On May 15, the free mammogram and breast ultrasound started under the consultation package of PhilHealth

23:22 to public and private hospitals.

23:26 For GMA Integrated News, Tina Panganiban Perez,

23:30 the results came out 24 hours. Meanwhile, some audio and video are becoming more real

23:37 because of the help of AI, which is called Deepfake.

23:41 It was feared that it will be used in the election, so the camera was challenged against it.

23:47 Tina Panganiban Perez was the one who got the results.

23:49 Many Filipinos are getting the results from social media.

23:56 But with the rapid and rapid changes in technology, it's hard to believe everything we hear and see.

24:03 Deepfakes or videos or audio were spread by a computer program using artificial intelligence that you think is real.

24:14 One negative effect of Deepfakes is the spread of disinformation or misinformation.

24:21 It can cause panic, it can cause chaos or even fight between two countries if there's a belief in scams, identity theft.

24:34 Sometimes, Deepfakes are used.

24:37 Based on what's happening in other countries, Deepfakes were also believed to be used in the election of 2025.

24:44 We saw that in other countries, there are instances where Deepfakes were used to know how the election will go and the campaign.

24:57 We should always remember that not everything we see and hear online is automatically true.

25:07 There are ways to check if what we see, watch or hear online is a Deepfake or not.

25:16 But these methods are not 100 percent.

25:19 Usually, Deepfakes are like you think it's just directly on the screen.

25:26 The eyes never close.

25:27 Now, there are Deepfakes that actually blink.

25:32 Another example would be out of sync, the audio that we hear when opening our mouth while speaking.

25:42 There is no law that prohibits the use of Deepfakes.

25:46 But there is an argument that was made by Cavite Rep. Lani Marcado-Revilla and his children,

25:52 Cavite Rep. Ramon Jolo-Revilla and Aguima and Partylist Rep. Brian Revilla,

25:58 against the malicious use of Deepfake. It is a heavy burden on the crimes that are used by Deepfake technology.

26:07 According to the Department of Information and Communications Technology,

26:10 part of the National Cybersecurity Plan is about Deepfakes.

26:15 The police is not yet releasing the information because the consultation is still ongoing.

26:20 The difficulty in making policy judgment, on the one hand, is freedom of expression.

26:25 On the other hand, of course, you have to regulate because it is harming someone.

26:30 For the GMA Integrated News, Tina Panganiban Perez, Nakatutok 24 Hours.

26:36 Vice President Sara Duterte asked the Supreme Court to trash the petitions against the confidential funds of the Office of the Vice President of 2022.

26:47 She added, "There is no actual controversy that involves rights that can be demanded or implemented under the Constitution.

26:55 It is also not clear how the grave abuse of discretion that petitioners are committing happened.

27:01 Last November, the first petition was filed where the court was asked to return and declare unconstitutional

27:09 the transferred P125 million confidential fund to the OVP in 2022.

27:15 The same petition was also filed by Makabayan Block last December 2023.

27:20 President Eddie Garcia Loa passed a law that will give protection to workers in the film and television industry

27:31 by their employer or principal.

27:34 Aside from the safety of work, the working hours, wages, social security, insurance and other benefits of workers must be checked.

27:45 The punishment for violation of the law is up to P100,000 to P500,000.

27:51 The Supreme Court transferred two criminal cases to the Quezon City Regional Trial Court against Pastor Apollo Q. Buloy from Davao City.

28:02 Next, the Justice Department asked to transfer the venue of the cases related to child abuse against the pastor.

28:08 The court explained that the cases related to public interest will be influenced by Davao City's Q. Buloy and a well-known religious leader.

28:17 That's why it's possible that the cases will be affected.

28:20 The Supreme Court granted Davao RTC three days to transfer all the records of the two cases of Pastor

28:27 to the Office of the Executive Judge of Quezon City RTC.

28:30 The Supreme Court also ordered the courts in Mindanao to transfer any case against Pastor to Quezon City RTC.

28:39 Next, some Filipinos are fishing in Panatang Shoal in the opposite side of the fishing band of China,

28:48 even in the areas that are included in the EEZ of the Philippines.

28:52 The Philippine Coast Guard is preparing the order of China to detain non-Chinese crossing the border they are pursuing.

29:02 Joseph Muno is on the scene.

29:04 The Filipino fishermen are fishing in the West Philippine Sea near Bajo de Masinloc or Panatang Shoal in Zambales.

29:16 That's even if it's within 12 degrees latitude from the upper part of the reed bank to mainland China,

29:23 where there is a fishing ban of China from May 1 to September.

29:27 They are also subject to the fishing ban of China, which is not recognized by the Philippines

29:34 because it even conquered the Philippine Exclusive Economic Zone or EEZ.

29:43 The Philippine government obviously has sovereign rights over this water.

29:48 From May 21 to 27, more than 120 Chinese sea vessels crossed the West Philippine Sea, including five Chinese Navy ships.

29:58 But in Panatang, the former 11th Chinese Maritime Militia Vessel, it only went down to 11 yesterday.

30:05 The mere fact that the number of Chinese Coast Guard is low, for me, this is just another empty threat

30:10 to discourage our Filipino fishermen here.

30:16 The Philippine Coast Guard is also preparing the order of China to stop the crossing of the border they are pursuing in the sea from June 15.

30:24 It's a bit scary. I hope they won't do it again.

30:28 The fish farms are there, they need to live.

30:31 They can't do that because there are many fishermen.

30:34 One of them is the owner of our ACC.

30:36 We will protect and support the interests of our Filipino fishermen.

30:42 According to the government, there is nothing to worry about the Filipino fishermen in the West Philippine Sea,

30:47 especially those who fish in the Scarborough Shoal or Bajo de Bacinloc in Zambales.

30:52 It is also possible that the order is just like the former China Coast Guard law.

30:56 Three years after, China really did nothing to enforce the China Coast Guard law.

31:01 We are listening to the China Coast Guard about the statement of the Philippine Coast Guard and the Filipino fishermen.

31:07 For GMA Integrated News, Joseph Morong, for 24 Hours.

31:12 The Office of the Ombudsman, Cebu Hall Governor Ericko Aumentado and 68 other officials were given 6 months of preventive suspension.

31:22 This is in accordance with the construction of Captain's Peak Resort in Chocolate Hills, a protected area.

31:29 According to Super Radio-DZBB, the Ombudsman said that the suspension is to allow for investigation

31:36 and that documents or evidence may not be allowed to be moved.

31:41 As for the suspension, some former and current officials of various government agencies and some barangay officials,

31:50 provincial legal officer and spokesperson of Governor Aumentado insisted that they have no connection to the issue of Captain's Peak Resort.

31:59 Governor Aumentado told his employees of the Capitol that he shall return.

32:05 Cebu Governor Gwen Garcia left the Partido Demokratiko Pilipino or PDP Laban.

32:12 In a letter sent by the Governor to PDP Laban President-Representative Jose Alvarez,

32:17 he said that he will immediately leave the party.

32:22 His decision is the result of the case filed against him by suspended Cebu City Mayor Mike Rama in the Office of the President

32:32 because he will stop the construction of bus stations for the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit Project in Osmeña Boulevard.

32:40 Rama is the current PDP Laban Vice President in Visayas since 2022.

32:47 In 2012, the Governor was appointed as a member of the party.

32:52 GMA Regional TV is trying to get the statement of Rama here.

33:00 Macati Mayor Abby Binay joined the Nationalist People's Coalition or NPC.

33:05 Binay was previously in front of her husband, Macati Representative Luis Campos Jr.

33:11 NPC President-Representative Michael John Duavit and other officials of the party were also there.

33:18 Mayor Binay's term ends in 2025 and he is one of the NPC's considered for their 2025 senatorial slate.

33:29 Before this, the NPC joined the alliance of the Philippine Federal Party of President Bongbong Marcos.

33:38 That's the news for today, I'm Mel Tianco.

33:42 I'm Vicky Morales for a bigger mission.

33:45 For a wider service to the country, I'm Emil Sumangyo.

33:49 From GMA Integrated News, the Philippine News Authority, we are in touch 24/7.
