00:00The flood does not yet reach some parts of Bulacan and Pangasinan.
00:16Residents are dispatching themselves to cross the daily activities.
00:21Witness, Jun Veneracion.
00:24At the top of the flood, in the second floor of their house,
00:27Lola Milagros and her grandchildren are staying in Barangay Talibaeo in Kalasyao, Pangasinan.
00:33The flood is deep, so we cannot go out.
00:38We are here at the top, we are cooking here at the top.
00:42Payas Creek is flooding, flooding up to 20 in the barangay Anolid in Mangaldan, Pangasinan.
00:49Two days of flooding on the side of the river in Barangay Poblacion, Linggayen, Pangasinan.
00:54Residents' belongings are lying on the seats.
00:57Almost Php 100 million has been spent on agriculture and infrastructure in the province.
01:04In Kalumpit, Bulacan, the flood left by Hurricane Karina and Hurricane Habagat is not yet over.
01:10Residents are dispatching themselves, not only their belongings,
01:15but also the chickens laid on the roof.
01:20Sometimes, they will drown, they cannot feed themselves.
01:25That's why we are carrying them there.
01:28Then, we will put them on top of the food.
01:31If you have a car, you will be lost here.
01:34That's why some have a boat parked at home.
01:37When we bought this, it was Php 7,000.
01:41You see, it's Php 7,000.
01:44It's been nine years.
01:48It's worth it.
01:50No one was affected by the flood, not even the private subdivision.
01:54In the past floods, there was still land to be found in their area.
01:58Now, it's just water.
02:01It's just water.
02:06It's not easy, sir.
02:08We are working hard.
02:11Because cars are hard to drive in the flood,
02:14even lawn tractors are being used by the residents.
02:18That's what can help them to get out.
02:22More than 127,000 residents in Kalumpit are affected.
02:26Almost all of them drowned.
02:2929 barangays, especially the subdivisions.
02:32It's been a long time.
02:34Because of the high tide.
02:36The high tide is already there.
02:38Because Kalumpit is a catch basin,
02:41the flood has become a part of the life of the residents.
02:44This is our building.
02:46But as you can see, it became an instant swimming pool for the children.
02:51The residents of Sapang Bayan in Kalumpit, Bulacan,
02:56were affected by the heavy rains accompanied by the high tide.
03:00The water of the two dams, Ipu Dam and Bustos Dam, will be lost.
03:05That's why the residents here have a new home.
03:10In the town of Hagonoy, in the middle of the flood,
03:13the procession for the local festivities continued.
03:16For GMA Integrated News,
03:18this is your June Veneration, Saksi.
03:22All systems go back to school for the new school year on Monday.
03:26But more than 700 schools will not open their classes.
03:30Because the school is not submerged in the flood,
03:32the evacuation center is being used.
03:34Saksi, this is Sandra Aguinaldo.
03:42That's the order of President Bongbong Marcos of the Department of Education,
03:46the gate of the President despite the flood.
03:49He wants to continue opening classes on Monday,
03:52as long as possible.
03:53But he will ask the local government and the schools to postpone it.
03:59According to the Education Secretary, Sani Angara,
04:02We really want to go back to July 29.
04:06But some will not be able to do it.
04:10In the city of Valenzuela, 40 schools were affected by the widespread floods
04:15brought by the Karina and Habagan floods.
04:17Other schools are using evacuation centers.
04:21For example, Malinta Elementary School,
04:248 classrooms were occupied by evacuees,
04:26which reached 115 individuals.
04:29So instead of Monday,
04:31the school opening in Valenzuela was postponed to August 5.
04:35Also in Marikina City,
04:36because most of their public schools also serve as temporary shelters.
04:41According to DepEd,
04:43324 schools are currently using evacuation centers in different parts of the country.
04:49Some schools were also affected by the floods,
04:52such as this public school in Sarat, Ilocos Norte,
04:55Libertad National High School in Abulug, Cagayan,
04:58and Kagisikan Elementary School in Calapan, Oriental, Mindoro,
05:03which reached six floors.
05:05According to Secretary Angara,
05:07not less than 70 schools were damaged,
05:11but this number is expected to increase.
05:14On the whole, so far our report is that
05:18NCR, Region 4A, Calabarzon, and well it seems Region 3 are severely damaged
05:26because we have 400 schools that will open after July 29.
05:30Among those who were suspended from opening classes on Monday was Malabon.
05:35He was suspended on July 31, Wednesday.
05:38DepEd continues to assess the damage
05:41to schools that were initially suspended reached Php 630 million.
05:47DepEd reminds that classes should not be suspended on July 29 in many schools.
05:53Those who can, I hope they will go back to school.
05:55Because the learning loss is very real.
05:58Number one, we are one of the most missed classes in the world.
06:03Almost Php 18.4 million enrolled in the school year 2024-2025.
06:09This includes elementary, junior and senior high,
06:12and those in the Alternative Learning System or ALS.
06:15The Implementing Rules and Regulations or IRR was also signed
06:20for the Expanded Career Progression System of teachers in public schools.
06:24This includes professional development and career advancement of public school teachers.
06:30Under the IRR, the additional teaching positions are included in the Classroom Teaching Career Line.
06:36These include Teacher 4, Teacher 5, Teacher 6, Teacher 7, and Master Teacher 5.
06:43For GMA Integrated News, Sandra Aguinaldo is your witness.
06:50Oil tankers in Bataan have yet to start extracting oil
06:54due to bad weather.
06:56In the event of an oil spill, it is expected to reach Metro Manila.
07:00John Consulta is your witness.
07:05Oil sheen or oil slick is what the Philippine Coast Guard sees
07:09in the sea around Limay, Bataan,
07:11where the oil tanker MT Terra Nova sank.
07:15But they wanted to stop the possible oil spill inside the tanker.
07:21The equipment used for this mission
07:23is being prepared by the Coast Guard of Bataan
07:26to prevent the oil spill from spreading.
07:30This is the private salvage company that is being pushed
07:34inside the sea around Limay, Bataan,
07:36where the MT Terra Nova sank.
07:39According to the Philippine Coast Guard,
07:41this group will use it to supply
07:451.4 million liters of industrial oil
07:49to the oil tanker MT Terra Nova.
07:52At the time of the oil spill,
07:54this oil will be placed inside these plastic containers
07:58so that the sea around Bataan will be safe.
08:04The Coast Guard started examining the water around the sinking tanker.
08:08But due to bad weather,
08:10the siphoning or extraction of oil from the tanker did not start.
08:14The Coast Guard is worried that if an oil spill occurs,
08:18Metro Manila and nearby areas may be affected.
08:41PEDRO-EMB obtained a water sample
08:44from coastal areas in Limay and Mariveles
08:47to find out if they were affected by the oil spill.
08:50The question now is,
08:51who should be responsible if the ships continue to sail?
08:56According to the Port Anagas Ship Management,
08:58the owner of MT Terra Nova said
09:00that the Coast Guard stopped the sailing of the ship on July 22,
09:04but allowed it to sail the next night.
09:06What we are asking is,
09:08if a ghost signal will come from the Coast Guard
09:12or from the Philippine Port Authority,
09:15we are not clear if it was allowed.
09:19But what we know is that the captain is still in the discussion.
09:24The owner of the ship helped the Coast Guard
09:27with the plan and timeline of the oil spill.
09:30Our goal is zero oil spill.
09:33Just in case, worst comes to worst,
09:36if it really happens,
09:38we are all prepared.
09:41Our equipments and other equipments that are not available here in the Philippines
09:45have already been requested by other countries.
09:50The LGU prohibited fishing in the area.
09:53Our barangay captains are helping
09:56and of course, they are preparing for help.
09:59For JMA Integrated News,
10:01I am John Consulta,
10:03your sasay.
10:06The stores of the New Nova Plaza Market
10:09in Barangay Santa Monica, Novaliches, Quezon City
10:12were burned.
10:13The fire was difficult to extinguish.
10:16The contents are plastic cups, paper cups,
10:19wood, and oil.
10:21That was our challenge.
10:23When the inside of the market entered,
10:25the stores in each stall were almost burnt.
10:28The BFP is still investigating the cause of the fire.
10:32The overall importance of the case is also being investigated.
10:37International Criminal Court Prosecutor,
10:39named Umano,
10:41as the suspect of the Duterte Drug War,
10:44is Senator Ronald Bato de la Rosa,
10:46PNP Chief, who carried out the campaign.
10:48That is based on the document obtained by former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV
10:53in the office of the ICC Prosecutor.
10:56The former PNP Chief Oscar Albayalde,
11:00former PNP CIDG Directors Romeo Karamat Jr. and Eleazar Mata,
11:04and NAPOLCOM Commissioner Edelberto Leonardo,
11:07said in the document that there is sufficient basis
11:10to believe that they committed crimes
11:12that are in the jurisdiction of the office of the ICC Prosecutor to investigate.
11:17When the documents were authenticated by GMA Integrated News,
11:21the office of the ICC Prosecutor said
11:24that it does not comment on the statements of governments
11:27or bodies of the state.
11:29They also said that they will not verify
11:31or authenticate documents distributed by outside sources.
11:35In addition,
11:37it is important to protect the confidentiality of their work
11:41to ensure the safety of all their relatives
11:44and as a protection of the integrity of their operations.
11:48As for de la Rosa,
11:50in 2016, her name was mentioned again and again
11:54as if it were a plaque.
11:56GMA Integrated News continues to get the attention
11:59of Generals Albayalde, Karamat, Mata, and Commissioner Leonardo.
12:03For GMA Integrated News,
12:05here is the reference of your witness.
12:09Before the witness,
12:10high-grade marijuana was listed
12:12in a parcel delivered to Dasmariñas, Cavite.
12:15In Pasay City,
12:16a Vietnamese national was arrested
12:18who sells or monitors party drugs.
12:21Witness, Simeon Sumangi.
12:26Because some parcels were recognized
12:28and delivered to their offices,
12:30a courier company in Dasmariñas, Cavite
12:33was immediately arrested
12:34by the PNP Drug Enforcement Group Special Operating Unit 4A.
12:37There,
12:38the authorities saw the contents of the parcels
12:41of vape cartridge, glass jar, black plastic,
12:43carton cup, and silver pouch
12:45containing high-grade marijuana.
12:48The authorities searched the parcels
12:50and found that the contents of the parcels
12:52were filled with illegal drugs
12:55while they did not believe
12:57the people who were supposed to be the recipients of the parcels.
13:06The NBI,
13:07Dangerous Drugs Division,
13:08intercepted the Vietnamese wanted
13:10for selling illegal drugs.
13:11The operation was stopped
13:13after a foreign suspect sold
13:15an undercover NBI agent of some party drugs.
13:18This is also a rape drug.
13:21Because you won't remember anything that happened
13:24during the time you were under the influence of this drug.
13:27He put it here in the teddy bears.
13:32Here, there are more that he got.
13:34He put it here for delivery to his clients.
13:39Okay, so,
13:40it's not clear that he just gave teddy bears.
13:44So, that's his modus operandi.
13:46After he was arrested,
13:48the NBI applied to the court of search warrant
13:50and it was approved.
13:52The NBI raided the suspect's condominium unit
13:55and here,
13:56they found more evidence.
13:58Millions of ketamine and ecstasy
14:03were found in his house.
14:05The NBI first monitored the suspect
14:07when he left his bag in his public utility vehicle.
14:11The driver took the bag
14:13and its bullet
14:15to find out who could have sold party drugs and more.
14:19Approximately 48 grams of ketamine
14:23and 53 tablets of ecstasy tablets
14:28with estimated strict value of more than half a million.
14:34Since then,
14:35law enforcement agencies were out looking for this person.
14:40The suspect refused to give testimony.
14:44Another block of shabu was found
14:46on the side of the beach in Barangay La Paz, Labag City, Ilocos Norte.
14:49In the examination of the BNP Crime Laboratory,
14:51115.66 grams of shabu was found.
14:55Its estimated value is 7.5 million pesos.
14:58It was wrapped in plastic and has a Chinese character written on it.
15:02It was also found in the first place
15:04in the town of Ilocos Surat, Cagayan.
15:06According to the police,
15:07a fish was found while a tree was hanging on the beach.
15:11Possibly, a smuggler was involved
15:13due to bad weather.
15:15For GMA Integrated News,
15:17I'm Emil Sumang,
15:19Saksi!
15:21Following the widespread flooding
15:23that was investigated by Senate President Chis Escudero,
15:25the government's flood control project,
15:27which was funded by a billion pesos,
15:29was hit by the DPWH.
15:31The flood control projects are working again.
15:33It was said that it rained a lot last Wednesday.
15:37Saksi!
15:38This is Mackie Polino.
15:43The widespread flooding
15:44was caused by the strong winds of the recent typhoon.
15:47It happened just a few days after
15:49President Marcos launched the government's flood control projects
15:51in his area.
15:54For 2024,
15:56according to Senate President Chis Escudero,
15:58they raised a fund of P255 billion pesos
16:02for the DPWH's flood control projects.
16:05P455 million pesos was given
16:08for projects like this by the MMDA.
16:11Regarding the flooding,
16:12what happened to these projects?
16:15That's why Escudero is asking the Senate
16:17to investigate the current flood control projects.
16:20The Congress will also conduct its own investigation.
16:23According to the DPWH,
16:25the flood control projects are working again.
16:27It was said that it rained a lot last Wednesday.
16:30If it doesn't rain,
16:31it might be worse and last longer
16:33before the flood goes away.
16:35The volume went down
16:38after two days of downpour.
16:43So, I think it's understandable.
16:46The best thing about this is that
16:48the flood water receded
16:51in a very short time.
16:53Dr. Mahar Lagmay of the UP Resilience Institute explained
16:56that the flood control projects
16:59that we have now
17:00won't be able to handle the heavy rainfall.
17:02The flood control projects are effective
17:05when it's just right.
17:06But when the big, infrequent ones come,
17:10it overwhelms the design.
17:12It's okay to have flood control,
17:14but it's not a complete solution.
17:16The problem in Metro Manila is that
17:19the normal waterway was cemented
17:21and houses and houses were built.
17:24For example, if it doesn't rain,
17:26this is what the Marikina River looks like.
17:28But this is really the Marikina River's waterway
17:31that is now full of houses and houses.
17:34This is also the problem in San Juan City
17:37that the San Juan River is passing through.
17:39We no longer respect
17:41the real natural place,
17:46the waterway.
17:48According to Lagmay,
17:49a long-term solution
17:51is the decongestion of Metro Manila.
17:53For now,
17:54this kind of map
17:55that the UP Resilience Institute studied
17:58is a big thing
17:59to know the critical places
18:01and where are the high places for evacuation.
18:04For GMA Integrated News,
18:06I'm Mackie Pulido,
18:07your witness.
18:15More than 10,000 athletes
18:17will participate in the 2024 Paris Olympics

18:54because it's the first time
18:55that we'll have a parade
18:57that's not in a stadium.
19:03It's also a chance to experience
19:05what it's like here in the Philippines
19:06especially since it's the 100th year
19:08since we first sent a delegation to the Olympics.
19:12Our flagbearers are ready,

19:26Tergy Bakyadan
19:28and Ira Villegas.
19:30The boxing team also has good news
19:33because Paalam,
19:34Marcial and Bakyadan
19:35are already in the round of 16.
19:38They just need two wins.
19:40It's sure of bronze after two wins.
19:46Our gymnasts are also in Paris,
19:48Carlos Yulo,
19:50Emma Malabuyo
19:51and Alea Pineda.

20:00that he had on Monday.
20:02Marine Sam Catantan also visited
20:04the fencing arena
20:06where he will fight.
20:10For GMA Integrated News,
20:12Ian Cruz is your witness.
20:16Several sparkle artists and Kapuso stars
20:19were united in helping the victims
20:21of the widespread flooding.
20:23Among them is the Dantes family.
20:25The witness is Lar San Siar.
20:28Kapuso Prime Time Queen,
20:31Marian Rivera,

20:37to lift the relief packs
20:39that her family,
20:41friends,
20:43sponsors and donations
20:45were preparing
20:46to give to those affected

21:07Aside from Marian herself,
21:09they also bought food.
21:11Their children,
21:13Zia and Sixto,
21:15also helped in packing.
21:17Thank you to those who gave
21:19so that at least we can gather
21:21that many bags
21:23to give and distribute
21:25to our fellow countrymen.
21:27We decided to turn over everything
21:29here at GMA Kapuso Foundation
21:31because we know that
21:33GMA Kapuso Foundation
21:35is always the first
21:37when it comes to sites
21:39for these kinds of disasters.
21:41This morning,
21:43Bianca Umali
21:45was also involved in repacking relief food.
21:47When I saw that
21:49I really needed more help
21:51in repacking
21:53because there was a typhoon earlier.
21:55I didn't hesitate.
21:57Bianca was also involved

22:37The last battle
22:39of the hit series Black Rider
22:41was full of action.
22:43But the heroic victory
22:45left questions online.
22:47The viewers
