00:38Witness, Sandra Aguinaldo.

00:44Be quiet.

00:45Together we will be victorious!

00:51To the cheering of the athletes

00:55and the dancing while in the Heroes Welcome Parade,

00:58the joy of our Olympians

01:00is evident in their enthusiastic acceptance.

01:04Even in the afternoon,

01:05the greetings of those waiting in the Aliu Theater.

01:10That's why the Filipino Olympians

01:12are eager to join the float.

01:15They even have a game to take a selfie

01:17with those who are waiting for them.

01:20We are very happy

01:22because this is our way of preaching to our Philippines.

01:25More fun in the Philippines!

01:27We are also happy

01:28because we saw him and Yolo.

01:32The parade started in different streets of Manila

01:35and there were no more people greeting.

01:38There were a lot of people waving the Philippine flag.

01:42Many people waved the Philippine flag.

01:45The people of the country are proud

01:48to be part of the 2024 Paris Olympics.

01:51For the others,

01:52they gave their belongings to the float.

01:55T-shirt, jacket, tumbler, ball,

01:59even bags and shoes

02:01to be signed by the athletes.

02:04Paul Volter EJ Obiena was not part of the parade

02:07because he needed a booby pad

02:09for a competition on August 21.

02:12One of the people who waited for the parade

02:15was the father of the double gold Olympic medalist

02:18Carlos Yolo, Mark Andrew.

02:21There was also a banner that said,

02:24Caloy, your father is here.

02:26Carlos' father was holding a few people

02:29while cheering for his son.

02:31At the same time, he waved,

02:33gave thumbs up and greeted Caloy

02:36in the direction of his father.

02:38On social media, Carlos posted,

02:41he was happy to see his father at the parade.

02:44He also apologized

02:46that he was not holding many people

02:48because a lot of people were asking for autographs.

02:51Many supporters of Carlos Yolo

02:54who waited for the float

02:56are student athletes.

02:58One of them is Gio Mislang.

03:00He fought in the track and field in Nueva Ecija

03:03and has been a fan of Carlos Yolo for a long time.

03:06I was so inspired by his training,

03:10how he worked hard for his training.

03:13I was so touched.

03:15Even if I'm just a simple player,

03:18I give my best in every training

03:20so that I can use the gold medal.

03:22According to Cynthia Carrion,

03:24president of the Gymnastics Association of the Philippines,

03:27she is already married

03:30to the Gymnastics Olympic team

03:32that will be together in Los Angeles in 2028.

03:35Along with the two brothers of Yolo.

03:37In the Olympics, I'm going to have a team.

03:40Not only Carlos Yolo, I want a whole team.

03:43Philippine team.

03:44For GMA Integrated News,

03:47Sandra Ginaldo is your witness.

03:51Before the witness,

03:52seven people were injured in the explosion of a butane canister

03:55inside the San Simon Municipal Police Station in Pampanga.

03:59Three police officers were there, according to PNP.

04:02Based on the investigation,

04:03they were preparing their food inside the station

04:06when suddenly their portable butane gas stove exploded.

04:11They thought that the gas exploded

04:13and first-degree burns occurred to the victims

04:15who were taken to the hospital and are recovering now.

04:21In the face of tax evasion,

04:23Bambang Tarlac Mayor, Alice Guo, was dismissed.

04:25And after the dismissal of her ombudsman,

04:28Guo's lawyer will appeal the decision.

04:31Witness, Salima Refran.

04:37One day after the dismissal of her ombudsman,

04:39Alice Guo, as the Mayor of Bambang Tarlac,

04:42added tax evasion to her complaints

04:45based on her role in Pugo,

04:47in the Baufu compound in Bambang Tarlac.

04:50In the complaint filed by the BIR to the Department of Justice,

04:53the person who paid the Capital Gains Tax

04:56and Documentary Stamp Tax to Guo

04:58was the one who sold the shares in Baufu Land Development

05:01when the Mayor of Bambang ran away.

05:03It is very clear that this transaction has a tax evasion case.

05:07The value of the shares that she sold is small,

05:11so the amount of this is around P500,000.

05:16According to the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission of Paok,

05:19Guo sold 2.5 million shares in 2021

05:23for P1 per share.

05:26According to the complaint filed by Guo,

05:29and the Corporate Secretary of Baufu Land,

05:32The cases are multidimensional,

05:34but definitely there is a narrative there

05:38that will have to come out in the end.

05:40So that's the job now of the law enforcement agencies

05:43to help us with the connections within

05:47so that the narrative can be completed.

05:50According to Guo's lawyer,

05:52they were saddened by the time the complaint was received

05:54in accordance with one of the complaints of the BIR.

05:56In accordance with the dismissal of the Ombudsman to Guo,

05:59his lawyer was saddened that the Ombudsman did not support their argument.

06:04But they are now preparing a motion for reconsideration

06:08that they will need to appeal in the Court of Appeals.

06:11This is the second criminal complaint against Guo.

06:14He is also facing a Qualified Human Trafficking Complaint here

06:18in the Department of Justice

06:19related to the raid on Zuniwan Technology in March this year.

06:23Aside from the Co-Waranto case and the cancellation of the birth certificate

06:27granted by the Office of the Solicitor General

06:30and the material misrepresentation case in Comelec.

06:34According to Comelec Chairman George Garcia,

06:36the Ombudsman's order is immediately executory,

06:39except if he can get a temporary restraining order from the Court of Appeals.

06:43So even if he can file a Certificate of Candidacy for the next election,

06:48Comelec will cancel it.

06:50The dismissal of the Ombudsman to Guo is close to the three-month suspension

06:54of the 12 officials of Bambad, including the Vice Mayor.

06:58The member of the Supreme Council is also the same.

07:01So the one who will run the municipality first is Councilor Eranio Timbang.

07:05He is the Councilor, he is the Supreme Councilor,

07:09but I think he opposed when we got the permit.

07:14And because of this, since he opposed, yes,

07:17he was absolved or acquitted by the Ombudsman.

07:22It is sad that we have to go through this.

07:27But as they say, everything has a plan.

07:32For GMA Integrated News, I'm Nima Refran.

07:35Your sex scene.

07:38The working holidays will be declared in the City of Manila on August 4.

07:42Carlos Yulo Day will be celebrated.

07:44And cash incentives for the Golden Boy of Men's Gymnastics will be added.

07:49Watch Jonathan Andal.

07:56Carlos Yulo's neighbors did not agree earlier

07:59in Barangay 711, Liberiza, Malate, Manila.

08:02They also beat Yulo's standee.

08:04I'm proud because he's my neighbor.

08:06Go home to Liberiza.

08:08Yulo's grandmother, Angelita Pocis, and some of his relatives were also there.

08:14She was happy to see her grandson again,

08:16even though they did not meet because Kaloy gave an autograph.

08:21How are you feeling?

08:22Happy.

08:23Gymnasts of 711 were like barangays

08:25because there were a lot of kids who were tumbling

08:28and wanted to follow the steps of the two-time Olympic gold medalist.

08:31He's good at tumbling.

08:33I want to continue that.

08:35Gymnastics, if possible.

08:37I'm not sure if we can still afford it.

08:40I hope I can get one like that

08:43so we can be proud of our efforts.

08:46Before the Heroes Parade earlier,

08:48there was a grand welcome to Yulo in Taguig

08:50where he rode a gondola.

08:52And for a ball that was handed over to him,

08:54a 32-million-peso condo unit.

08:57We will cherish and take care of the blessings of God

09:01and give to good people.

09:04In the Olympics last night,

09:07Yulo received a 20-million-peso prize

09:09under the National Athletes and Coaches Benefits and Incentives Act.

09:13It was awarded by the Office of the President.

09:17He was also awarded the Presidential Medal of Merit.

09:19The 2-million-peso prize was also awarded

09:23by bronze medalists Nesty Petesho and Ira Villegas

09:27who also had a presidential citation.

09:29As for the non-medalists,

09:301-million-peso from PAG-COR

09:33and 1-million-peso from the Office of the President.

09:36The coaching staff received 500,000-peso.

09:39In the Chamber, Yulo received the Congressional Medal of Excellence

09:43and 14-million-peso incentive.

09:452.5-million-peso was the cash incentive

09:48received by bronze medalists Nesty Petesho and Ira Villegas

09:51as well as the Congressional Medal of Distinction.

09:54We came from nowhere.

09:55The Lord has been so kind.

10:00I am overwhelmed by the support that was given to Tokyo.

10:05It's almost safe now.

10:06Their support for the athletes is even greater.

10:10I am so thankful. I am so blessed.

10:12We will conduct a review of our legislation.

10:17Among others, Republic Act 10699,

10:20the National Athletes and Coaches Benefits Incentives Act.

10:24We need to amend it

10:29so that we can provide support and assistance to our athletes.

10:34For GMA Integrated News,

10:36Jonathan Andala is your witness.

10:40The Senate questioned how the shipwrecked

10:44MTKR Jason Bradley and MV Mirola One

10:47did not have enough documents.

10:50The owners of the two ships were prosecuted

10:53after they did not comply with the hearing.

10:56Witness, Danutin Cungco.

11:02In the oil spill,

11:03after the next three oil tankers sank in Bataan,

11:07the government is the only one to blame.

11:10I'm trying to picture this as a government-made,

11:14state-made, state-induced calamity.

11:18I don't think it's due to the fact that there are too many of them.

11:24Like what our chairperson said,

11:26there is no permit.

11:28It will come out later.

11:29There is no permit for some of the ships.

11:31The Senate's investigation into what happened

11:34when the MT Terranova, MT Jason Bradley, and MV Mirola One sank

11:39coincided with the cut-off of the Habagat and Baguio Carina in July.

11:43But the owners of MT Jason Bradley and MV Mirola One

11:46did not show up for the hearing.

11:48Marina said that there were no safety documents

11:51of MT Jason Bradley and MV Mirola One.

11:54According to the PCG,

11:55Mirola One did not pass through the PCG

11:58before it sailed from Navotas.

12:00MV Mirola One departed Navotas

12:08without passing through the Coast Guard Station.

12:12It escaped and it was in tow.

12:15It ran aground on 23 July.

12:19So ma'am, it did not pass through the Coast Guard.

12:22It escaped from Navotas on time.

12:25What date?

12:27It is subject for investigation.

12:30Jason Bradley sank while anchored.

12:35It did not pass through the Coast Guard.

12:38It was anchored.

12:40It sank at the same time.

12:43Senators are asking,

12:45how did the ships, the government agencies,

12:48pass through if they do not have the permits to sail?

12:51Marina explained that their digitalization

12:54has just begun on July 1.

12:56After our registrations,

12:58we don't have any means to check

13:01whether after registration, are they operating.

13:03Ma'am, can you pass through?

13:07Well, we don't have that information sir

13:10because we don't have that tool.

13:12We don't have that tool to monitor.

13:15The operator of MT Terra Nova

13:18explained that aside from the complete permits

13:21and license,

13:22the ship also has a permit from the PCG.

13:25Is that also the reason why you ventured,

13:29sailed out, Mr. Gordero?

13:32Because there is no signal number?

13:34Yes, your honor.

13:35Aside from that,

13:37we also verified

13:41in hopes.

13:49Your honor, the vessel is heading to Iloilo.

13:52You were there for how many days?

13:55Yes, because after a few hours of voyage,

13:59the weather suddenly changed

14:01and it encountered…

14:02So you should return to the port.

14:04That was the intention until

14:06we encountered engine trouble.

14:09According to the lawyer of Terra Nova,

14:11aside from the insurance,

14:12the Civil Liabilities Convention also answered

14:14where the Philippines is signatory

14:16to the compensations to the affected.

14:19Aside from cleaning and stopping the spread of the disease,

14:22the claim centers also plan to set up

14:24so that the affected can easily claim compensation.

14:28For GMA Integrated News,

14:30I will be your witness.
