NewsTranscript
00:00Alice Goh's brother, Sheila, was brought to the Senate while Sandra Leong, a businesswoman, was brought to the House of Representatives because of the arrest warrant issued by both prisons.
00:12Sandra Aguinaldo was arrested.
00:21After four days in the custody of the National Bureau of Investigation since they were brought back to the Philippines from Indonesia,
00:31the brother was brought to the Senate, dismissed as Mayor Alice Goh, Sheila, around 12.29 p.m.
00:40She was placed in a detention facility in the Senate compound because of the arrest warrant issued after being cited in contempt.
00:47Because of not attending the hearing of the Senate, she was detained.
00:51She was also allowed to use a cell phone.
00:54According to the Senate Sergeant-at-Arms, as long as the Senate uses a cell phone,
00:58tomorrow, the Senate will expect Sheila to attend the hearing.
01:03My advice is to tell the truth.
01:06She should really speak up because no one is hiding anything from her.
01:10But of course, because she was just denied a case, she can invoke the uncertain questions, the right against self-incrimination.
01:19Cassandra Leong was brought to the detention facility on Tuesday because of the arrest warrant after being cited in contempt
01:28because of not attending the POGO hearings of the Senate.
01:31She is expected to attend the hearing of the Quad Committee on Wednesday.
01:37She is our only link to Lucky South 99 and other illegal POGO hubs that was raided by PAO.
01:47We have to get information from her, who is the owner, who is the lawyer, who is building the incorporatorship.
01:57What we want to know here is who are the people behind Cassandra Leong.
02:02You have to remember that Cassandra Leong is only 24 years old.
02:05Being so young, she has no experience in running a big business.
02:14Having said that, she holds a lot of money.
02:18It's just impossible. We wanted to find out.
02:21The Senate also wants Ong to face them.
02:24But Barbers said that the House Quad Committee will discuss this.
02:28I would like to ask the committee if it's possible.
02:33Her custody is with us and our schedule for the hearing is on Wednesday.
02:40So maybe we should ask her first.
02:45Ong's camp is studying to file an arbitrary detention complaint against those behind the arrest and imprisonment of Cassandra Leong.
02:54The Justice Department is also looking to file a complaint.
02:58Arbitrary detention of any public officer who detains another without a legal cause.
03:04Let's check the partiality or impartiality of the DOJ.
03:13That's where we will demand.
03:17The media listened to the DOJ's reaction, but it still has no answer.
03:21For GMA Integrated News, Sandra Aguinaldo was on the air for 24 hours.
03:27The fans' surprise party for Sania Lopez is a debut.
03:34Sania is extra grateful for their support in Pulang Araw, even though some are already mad at her character, Teresita.
03:42Let's talk to Nelson Canlas.
03:45Happy Birthday!
03:51The birthday celebration is not over yet because the fans of Pulang Araw star Sania Lopez prepared a party for her.
03:58I'm really super happy because I didn't expect it.
04:01I thought I have a meeting.
04:05Then I said, huh? There's a meeting?
04:08Who's having a meeting?
04:10I was so surprised. I'm not ready.
04:12But they're ready. They have a gown. You saw it.
04:16It's like a debut all over again. This is for Sania.
04:19Because of the party, she wore a surprise gown.
04:23The venue decorated her favorite colors, yellow and sunflowers.
04:28And like the debuts, there are 18 dances, 18 wishes, and fireworks display at the end.
04:37I think this is cute because this is new to me.
04:40I didn't debut on all of my birthdays.
04:44Actually, if you love everyone who supports you, there's no age limit.
04:49If you just want to surprise them, they will surprise you.
04:51Sania is very grateful because the fans of GMA Prime Family Drama Series, Pulang Araw, continue to support her.
05:00Teresita and Adelina's relationship is heating up.
05:07Some people are mad at me because I'm fighting with Adelina.
05:13Why do you think so? Huh? Why?
05:17But Teresita has a reason.
05:19For those who are mad at me because I'm fighting with Adelina and I'm keeping Hiroshi away from them,
05:25you just watched Pulang Araw when you found out.
05:28Now that the war in Pearl Harbor has escalated in Pulang Araw,
05:31will Teresita and Hiroshi continue to blame each other?
05:35Wait and see.
05:37Nelson Canlas, updated on Shoebiz Happenings.
05:42At the same time as the day of the fairies,
05:45the government decided not to stop patrolling the West Philippine Sea.
05:50That is even though the Chinese will continue to harass there for two days.
05:54And Ivan Mayrina got it right.
05:59Stop it!
06:01Yesterday, the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources
06:05started bombing the ship again.
06:07Let's go inside for a while.
06:15Earlier, the BRP Teresa Magbanwa was stopped from resupplying the mission.
06:19But again and again, China's aggressive action in the West Philippine Sea
06:24will not change the position of the Philippines in Sigalut.
06:26The order of the President, which is not to give up a square inch,
06:31even a square centimeter of our territory, stands.
06:35The AFP Chief of Staff said in a statement on National Heroes Day with the President.
06:41At the same time, especially in May 22,
06:44the patrolling of the soldiers and coastguards of the country in the West Philippine Sea will not stop.
06:49China is forcing the Philippines to take responsibility for what happened in Banggaan.
06:53China will continue to take action to protect their rights in the South China Sea.
06:58But the AFP also said that resupply and humanitarian missions will continue there.
07:03So that we can maintain our presence.
07:06Once we leave there in the West Philippine Sea,
07:09we don't know what will happen.
07:12Maybe the Escoda Shoal will become artificial islands again.
07:17That's why we need to be there.
07:19The National Task Force on the West Philippine Sea believes that
07:22the presence of BRP Teresa Magbanwa in the Escoda Shoal since April 25
07:28is being watched and monitored by China.
07:30This is what is making the people of the Republic of China angry.
07:35They are paranoid with their own story.
07:38They are thinking that this will be another Sierra Madre 2.0.
07:42The problems of China, they are swayed by their own lies.
07:46The explosion and bombing of water in the Escoda Shoal
07:49happened following the loss of China's flares in Zamora Reef a while ago.
07:53The National Maritime Council said that this is alarming.
07:56China's commitment to escalate tensions in the West Philippine Sea is in question.
08:01According to the Department of National Defense,
08:04the Philippines is strengthening its ability to defend our territory.
08:08Let us deter an armed attack.
08:10That is the more important thing and that is what I'm focused on doing.
08:13Everybody is too focused on armed attack.
08:16Let's make ourselves strong enough so that that does not happen.
08:20For GMA Integrated News, Ivan Mejrina for 24 Hours.
08:29Last May, the GMA Kapuso Foundation met
08:32the story of a mother whose family is being watched closely.
08:41This is a sight-saving month.
08:43She was able to make her world clear
08:46thanks to the help of our partners and donors.
08:53At the same time that Liberty's vision was blurred in 2016,
08:57her husband's relationship was also blurred.
09:02Her world became darker.
09:05Her husband and children lost their sight.
09:10Since then, her friend Melinda took care of her.
09:16Because of the high cost of treatment,
09:19they asked for help from the GMA Kapuso Foundation this April.
09:27We examined and operated on Liberty at the Asian Eye Institute
09:32and underwent a second operation at the Ophthalmological Foundation of the Philippines.
09:38For Liberty, it was a cataract surgery plus what we call retina surgery.
09:45We operated on the retina because that is where the damage from diabetes is.
09:50We had to peel or remove the membranes one by one.
09:56Then, we laser-treated her retina,
09:59which is what we usually do for patients with advanced diabetic retinopathy.
10:04The doctor also has an advice to maintain a clear vision.
10:09It's better to have a comprehensive exam
10:11where you can check your vision from the front to the back.
10:15Now, Liberty is able to see colors and numbers.
10:23Her treatment is still ongoing
10:25and she is still recovering for the next operation on her left eye.
10:31I can see a little bit now.
10:33I can see a little bit now.
10:34But it's still blurry.
10:36But the good news is,
10:38according to the doctor who operated on my eye,
10:42the improvement is great.
10:45This is my eye.
10:47What color is that?
10:48It's blue.
10:49And these are my hands.
10:50I am holding it.
10:52Aside from this,
10:53we also had her makeover
10:56so that she can regain her confidence in herself.
10:59We also included Melinda.
11:01I like her.
11:03I am very happy.
11:13The police brought the members of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ
11:18to Davao City.
11:20Before this,
11:21the Executive Secretary said
11:23that the law must be implemented
11:25and that the police must investigate their compound
11:28in order to arrest Pastor Apollo Q. Buloy.
11:31The situation there is being broadcast live by Jandy Esteban
11:34of GMA Regional TV.
11:36Jandy.
11:40Yes, Emil.
11:41Any time it is possible,
11:43the Carlos P. Garcia Highway will open to motorists.
11:48But before the situation calmed down
11:51in front of the KOJC compound,
11:53it was difficult to clear the barricades until a while ago.
12:01A few minutes after the incident,
12:03the police continued to disperse the barricades
12:06of the members of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ
12:09in front of their compound
12:11at 3 p.m. earlier this afternoon.
12:13Gradually, their ranks were called using the riot shield.
12:24Some were pulled,
12:25pushed,
12:26and pushed by the members.
12:30Some of them were hit by chairs and bottles.
12:34At the same time as the police barricaded the area,
12:37the members of the National Highway were removed.
12:47Around 6 p.m.,
12:48the new prayer rally of the members of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ,
12:52or KOJC,
12:53began in front of the compound of Grupo in Davao City.
12:57But the crowd was forced to retreat
12:59when the barricades were placed on the highway.
13:08And the patrol cars were on the run.
13:17In the middle of the rally,
13:18a tire was set on fire
13:20that, according to the police,
13:21was made by the members of KOJC.
13:23A man was arrested
13:25for bringing this tire to the car
13:27that was also being set on fire.
13:30The people who rallied
13:32because of this,
13:33the police rushed to the scene
13:35and the PNP was surprised.
13:38According to the police,
13:396 people were injured
13:41according to the police regional office 11.
13:44The rally reached the main entrance
13:46of Davao International Airport
13:48so the gate of the compound was closed.
13:50So many passengers just walked.
13:53On Saturday morning,
13:54the rally began
13:56when 2,000 policemen entered the KOJC compound
14:00to serve as the warrant of arrest
14:02for Pastor Apollo Quibuloy
14:03and 4 other accused members.
14:06These are the people
14:07who are facing child and sexual abuse
14:09and human trafficking
14:10that they used to deny.
14:13According to Davao Region Police,
14:14their radar detected heartbeats
14:17in an underground bunker
14:19in the KOJC compound.
14:21They haven't seen the water
14:23entering the bunker yet.
14:25We won't kill each other.
14:26We'll kill each other.
14:29The legal counsel of KOJC
14:31said that their arrest is legal
14:34because it was done
14:35under the State of Necessity
14:37under the Civil Code.
14:39They do not respect
14:40their human rights.
14:43The KOJC compound
14:44did not comply
14:45with the warrant of arrest.
14:47But according to Davao Regional Police,
14:49it is legal
14:50because Pastor Apollo Quibuloy
14:52and other accused members
14:53are in the compound.
14:5518 members of the KOJC
14:57were arrested by the police
14:59because they violated
15:00the rules of the compound.
15:06Emil, we interviewed
15:07some of the people
15:08who were arrested earlier.
15:10According to them,
15:11they were not the ones
15:12who were thrown.
15:1318 members of the KOJC
15:14were arrested
15:16because they violated
15:17the rules of the compound.
15:21But the KOJC
15:22will still violate the rules
15:23of the compound
15:24if they file a complaint
15:25against the police.
15:26According to the KOJC legal counsel,
15:28Atty. Israelito Turion.
15:31Emil.
15:32Thank you very much,
15:33John D. Esteban
15:34of GMA Regional TV.
15:36Before it was clear
15:37that the barricades
15:38of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ
15:39were blocking
15:40their roads,
15:42especially near
15:43Davao International Airport,
15:45many people were forced
15:46to walk
15:47including a PWD tourist.
15:50And Sidel Chavez
15:51of GMA Regional TV
15:52was live.
15:54Sidel.
15:58Yes, Vicky.
15:59The part of Carlos P. Garcia Highway
16:00here in Davao City
16:01is still closed
16:02for tourists
16:05near the compound
16:06of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.
16:13It is still difficult
16:14for passengers
16:16to go to the departure area
16:18or from the arrival area
16:20of Davao International Airport.
16:22It is just next to
16:23the compound
16:24of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.
16:26That is why
16:27the members of KOJC
16:28are affected.
16:30It is a hassle
16:31because it is my first time
16:32to return to Davao.
16:35I can't ride
16:36and I can't help
16:37to hide.
16:39Where are we going now?
16:41It is all closed.
16:43We are only looking for one person.
16:45Why are we all affected?
16:47The PWD tourist,
16:49Sabrina,
16:50was forced
16:51to walk to the airport
16:53from her accommodation.
16:54We can't go back
16:55because we are stuck.
16:57Even commuters
16:58going to work
16:59are affected.
17:01It is a hassle
17:02because there are no workers
17:03and there are no cars.
17:04According to the
17:05Civil Aviation Authority
17:06of the Philippines
17:07or CAAP Davao,
17:08for now,
17:09it is only possible
17:10to enter and exit
17:11the airport
17:12using the main entrance.
17:14What used to be
17:15our exit gate
17:17is now closed
17:19as a precautionary measure
17:22because that gate
17:23is very near
17:25to where
17:27the operation will take place.
17:29There are no cancelled flights
17:31but there are delays.
17:33We were all in agreement
17:35to extend
17:37to stretch
17:38their operations
17:39as much as they can
17:41to accommodate
17:42the passengers
17:44because understandably,
17:45some of them
17:46are really stuck
17:47in traffic.
17:49For passengers
17:50and passengers
17:51who are isolated
17:52they are stuck.
17:53Alternate route
17:55was launched
17:56by the City Transport
17:57and Traffic Management Office
17:59which you can see
18:00on your screen.
18:07Vicky, for now,
18:08the entry and exit
18:10of vehicles
18:12here at Davao
18:13International Airport
18:14is continuous.
18:15The old one-way road
18:16was made two-way
18:18after closing
18:19the exit gate
18:20of Paliparan
18:21which is very near
18:22to KOJC compound
18:24so expect
18:26heavy traffic
18:28but there are
18:29city traffic personnel
18:31who are ready
18:32to guide the passengers.
18:34Vicky.
18:35Thank you very much
