00:00Before the resupply mission of the Philippine Coast Guard to the anchored BRP Teresa Magbanwa in Escuadal Shoal,
00:06the two ships of the PCG were blocked and radio challenged by the ships of China.
00:12Witness, Marisol Abdurrahman.
00:17Before 5 o'clock in the early morning, the BRP Cabaret-BRP Igaño,
00:22the target of the two ships of the PCG, arrived in Escuadal Shoal, also known as Sabina Shoal.
00:29The mission is to distribute supplies to the BRP Teresa Magbanwa.
00:33Past 11 o'clock in the morning, just 30 nautical miles away from the Boniluyan port in Puerto Princesa, Palawan,
00:39this ship of China was spotted.
00:41At 9.50 in the morning, it became two and seemed to be approaching the Philippine ships.
00:47Before 12 o'clock in the afternoon, the number of ships of China increased.
00:51While we were entering Escuadal Shoal,
00:55the radio challenged the ships of China and the Philippines.
00:59We were told not to respond.
01:02But despite what the PCG said, that they will just provide Unitarian assistance,
01:07to a PCG vessel there, they were not given.
01:10We are approaching Sabina Shoal on the Philippine coastline.
01:13We are only 25 nautical miles away from the ships of China.
01:18One of them is only 400 meters away from us.
01:23But later on, it approached us until it completely stopped.
01:27Just then, the radio stopped at the said location.
01:30While the radio was surrounded by ships of China.
01:34Before 2 o'clock in the afternoon, two of the China Coast Guard stopped us.
01:39And it increased even more.
01:42Not just one or two ships of China are in the way of the BRP radio of the Philippine Coast Guard
01:48where we are now, but it is now being surrounded by Chinese ships.
01:53Some of them are from their navy.
01:56Yesterday, the ships of the PCG were surrounded by the BRP Cabra.
02:00It is being surrounded wherever it goes.
02:03Until it completely left the area last Thursday afternoon.
02:07Until we left, these ships of China were still surrounded.
02:12They do not want to be sure that the Philippine ships have completely left
02:16even though it is inside our exclusive economic zone.
02:20Marisol Abdurrahman, your witness.
02:25The China Coast Guard was shocked by the illegal entry of two Philippine ships
02:29into the Escuadal Shoal, which they call the Shanbin Reef.
02:33That is why China has implemented control measures
02:36that follow the law.
02:39Even though the Escuadal Shoal is part of the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines,
02:43it is 73 nautical miles away from Rizal, Palawan.
02:47It has only been a week since the China Coast Guard
02:50conducted dangerous maneuvers
02:52on the BRP Cape Engaño and BRP Bagacay
02:55that resorted to fishing last August 19.
02:58It is also close to the Escuadal Shoal
03:00while sending ships to Patag and Lawak Islands.
03:04At that time, China said that the Philippine ships were intended to fish
03:08which was denied by the National Task Force for the West Philippine Sea.
03:13On August 8, while patrolling an airplane of the Philippine Air Force in Bajo de Masinloc,
03:18a Chinese fighter jet lost its flares on the road of the airplane.
03:23China also said that it was illegal to enter the Philippines
03:26in the airspace of Bajo de Masinloc, which is also located in the Easy Rin of the Philippines.
03:31While the BFAR airplane was on a maritime patrol on August 22,
03:35a flare was lost from one of the hotels on the artificial island of China
03:40in Subi or Zamora Reef.
03:42China said that they were trespassing.
03:45The BFAR airplane also experienced flares and dangerous maneuvers
03:50in Bajo de Masinloc on August 19,
03:53the same day of the bombing of BRP Cape Ingano and BRP Bagacay.
03:58Because of these incidents of the use of flares,
04:02as well as the bombing and the use of water cannons in BRP Datu Sandal,
04:06the National Maritime Council was alarmed.
04:09China's continued commitment to reduce tensions in the West Philippine Sea is questionable.
04:14According to the AFP, resupply and humanitarian missions continue in the West Philippine Sea.
04:21Meanwhile, even during the holidays, motorists are still not allowed to cross the Batas Capico.
04:27Just like a rider on the EDSA busway
04:29who was still trampled by the robbers who tried to escape.
04:34Salima Refran witnessed it.
04:40The roads are empty on National Heroes Day.
04:43Although on the Chino Rosas Avenue extension in Makati,
04:47there are several jeeps and vehicles parked on the side of the road.
04:52There is also a water concessionaire, but no one is doing anything.
04:58On Kalayaan Avenue in Makati,
05:00there are also several vehicles parked on the side of the road.
05:05Even during the holidays, the authorities continue to guard
05:08those who illegally cross the EDSA busway.
05:11This motorcycle tried to escape,
05:14but it just stopped.
05:20Aside from the ticket,
05:21he also got scratches and scratches on his body.
05:25I was on the side, but I was in a hurry.
05:29I was in a hurry, sir.
05:30So you were forced to cross the busway?
05:33Yes, sir.
05:34Because I don't have a bus, so I was in a hurry, sir.
05:38This rider also tried to escape,
05:41but the authorities also punished him.
05:43I was just in a hurry.
05:46An ambulance was also stopped,
05:48but it was also immediately left
05:50to confirm that there was a passenger.
05:53For GMA Integrated News,
05:55I'm Nima Refrat,
05:56your sex scene.
05:59Three people were injured in the collision
06:01of a tricycle and a motorcycle in Mangaldan, Pangasinan.
06:04The CCTV footage shows the overtaking of the tricycle
06:08and the collision of the motorcycle.
06:11Due to the strong impact, the tricycle overturned.
06:14According to the police,
06:15the injuries to the accident were already fixed.
06:18The tricycle driver will also answer
06:21for the injuries to the tricycle driver.
06:24The number of confirmed cases of MPOCS in the Philippines
06:27has reached 12 since July 2022.
06:30According to the Department of Health,
06:32the new cases are already local transmission.
06:35Witness, Mackie Pulido.
06:42The two new cases in the country
06:44are both mild cases of MPOCS
06:46that increased the total number of confirmed cases
06:49to 12 since July 2022.
06:52MPOCS case number 11
06:54is a 37-year-old man from Metro Manila
06:56who was confined to a public hospital.
06:59On August 20,
07:00his symptoms were first noticed,
07:02rashes on almost his entire body,
07:04so he went to see a doctor.
07:06On his way home,
07:08there were 12 cases of MPOCS,
07:10also a 32-year-old man from Metro Manila.
07:12His symptoms were first noticed
07:14on August 14.
07:15The body was strong
07:17and the lesions were covered.
07:18He was allowed to go home
07:20and he will stay at home
07:22for the rest of the isolation period.
07:24Both have intimate skin-to-skin contact,
07:27the two new cases of MPOCS in the country.
07:29MPOCS case number 10
07:31is getting better
07:32but has not yet been discharged from the hospital
07:34due to other medical conditions.
07:36According to the DOH,
07:37these cases are already local transmission
07:39and are not connected to the outbreak
07:41in the Republic of Congo
07:43that resulted in the declaration
07:44by the World Health Organization or WHO
07:47of the Public Health Emergency
07:48of International Concern.
07:50Now with heightened awareness
07:52and increased detection
07:53by our dermatologists
07:55and other primary care providers,
07:57we can now see our cases
07:59that are most likely in the area.
08:01Some are being monitored
08:03but the MPOCS case has not yet been confirmed
08:05in a provincial hospital in Northern Samar.
08:07Five to ten cases of MPOCS
08:09are reported daily by the DOH
08:12but it is not immediately reported to the public
08:14until the laboratory
08:17test is confirmed.
08:18Intimate skin-to-skin contact
08:20or skin-to-skin contact
08:21is the condition of MPOCS
08:22according to the DOH.
08:23If it is just a daplis,
08:24for example, a handshake,
08:25and there are no lesions,
08:26it is considered low risk.
08:28You just need to drink alcohol
08:29and wash your hands.
08:30If it is a long-term skin contact,
08:32it is a medium-to-high risk.
08:34Intimate contact,
08:35when hugging,
08:37kissing,
08:38or kissing,
08:39that is prolonged
08:40which means it becomes medium-to-high risk
08:43especially since
08:44patients cannot see their whole body.
08:47It is possible that in front,
08:49no one can see the butt.
08:50But in the back,
08:52or in the area,
08:53it is there.
08:54If there is a sexual contact
08:56that is prolonged,
08:57it is high risk.
08:58To avoid MPOCS,
08:59according to the DOH,
09:00in commuters
09:01or going to crowded places,
09:04wear a face mask
09:05and wear long sleeves and pants
09:07to avoid skin contact.
09:09The priority of the WHO
09:11is to give the MPOCS vaccine to the Congo
09:13where there is an outbreak.
09:14But the Philippines also requested
09:162,000 doses of vaccine.
09:18This is not yet a general vaccination.
09:20The priority is frontliners,
09:22particularly dermatologists,
09:24followed by the key population
09:26that is still being targeted by the DOH.
09:28For GMA Integrated News,
09:30I am Mackie Pulido,
09:31your witness.
09:35Along with the police searching
09:36for Pastor Apollo Quibloy
09:38and other accused,
09:40members of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ
09:42were arrested in Davao City.
09:4418 were arrested by the police
09:46and they are being charged
09:47with obstruction of justice.
09:49The KOJC, however,
09:50will still file a complaint.
09:52Witness, Rafi Tima.
09:57On Saturday,
09:58the police entered
09:59the compound of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ
10:01in Davao City.
10:03They beat up Elias Warrant of Arrest
10:04against Pastor Apollo Quibloy
10:06and other accused
10:07in the Child Abuse
10:09and Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act.
10:12We will not kill each other.
10:13We will kill each other.
10:16The police believed
10:17that Quibloy and the accused
10:18were inside.
10:19He's there.
10:20They're just hiding him.
10:22In the middle of the operation,
10:23a member was attacked
10:24in the chest.
10:29The raid on the compound
10:30continued until Sunday.
10:32Their target is to find
10:33the hidden compartments.
10:35According to the Davao Regional Office,
10:37their radar detected
10:38heartbeats
10:39in one of the underground bunkers
10:41in the compound of KOJC.
10:43They haven't found
10:44the entrance to the bunker yet.
10:46In the middle of the PNP and DSWD,
10:48two human trafficking victims
10:50were inside
10:51who were denied
10:52by the legal counsel of KOJC.
10:55Last night,
10:56members of KOJC held a prayer rally
10:58in front of their compound
11:00in Davao City.
11:02A wheel burned,
11:03according to the police,
11:04by members of KOJC.
11:07A man was arrested
11:09for carrying a wheel in his car
11:11that was about to be burned.
11:13Those who rallied
11:15for protesting
11:16were followed by the police,
11:18which was suspected by the PNP.
11:21In the hands of the police,
11:22six people were injured,
11:24according to the police
11:25of the Regional Office 11.
11:27Members of KOJC
11:28also placed barricades
11:29on the highway.
11:36And the vehicles
11:37of the patrol cars
11:38were followed.
11:41The rally reached
11:42the main entrance
11:43of Davao International Airport,
11:44so many passengers
11:45were just walking.
11:46It was a hassle
11:47because it was my first time
11:48going back to Davao.
11:51I didn't know how to drive,
11:52so I had to hide.
11:55Where are we going now?
11:58It's all closed.
11:59We're only looking for one person.
12:01Why are we all affected?
12:03The commuters
12:04who were going to work
12:05were also affected.
12:06It's a hassle
12:07because we don't have a job.
12:08We don't have a car.
12:10Until a while ago,
12:11the barricades were still there.
12:13And the police
12:14went back to the hospital.
12:16Gradually,
12:17they were called
12:18by the riot shield.
12:24Some of the members
12:25were pulled,
12:26pushed,
12:27and kicked.
12:28Some barricaded
12:29with stones and bottles.
12:32Along with the police
12:33barricading the area,
12:34the removal
12:35of the members
12:36from the National Highway
12:37was also carried out.
12:39Eighteen KOJC members
12:40were arrested by the police
12:41who were accused
12:42of obstructing justice.
12:45The KOJC
12:46also filed a complaint
12:47against the police
12:48according to
12:49Attorney Israeli Totorion.
12:51Even in Manila,
12:52the supporters of the KOJC
12:53protested.
12:55They marched
12:56and gathered
12:57in Liwasang Bonifacio.
12:59This is where
13:00the former spokesman
13:01of the Duterte administration,
13:02Atty. Harry Roque,
13:03arrived and became
13:04Sandra Cam.
13:05This is a huge
13:06violation of
13:07human rights.
13:08Vice President Sara Duterte
13:09and former President
13:10Rodrigo Duterte
13:11also agreed
13:12that the police
13:13should be involved
13:14in the operation.
13:15But the PNP said,
13:16The PNP followed
13:18the legal protocols
13:20and our police
13:22operational procedures.
13:24When it comes to
13:25the implementation
13:26of the Warrant of Arrest
13:27against Pastor Siluoy
13:28and four others.
13:30The Executive Secretary
13:31also gave a statement
13:32that the accusations
13:33were politically
13:34motivated.
13:35You know,
13:36it's easy to say
13:37that it's politically
13:38motivated,
13:39but it's not true.
13:40The law must take its course.
13:42There is a process.
13:44For GMA Integrated News,
13:46I am Rafi Timang,
13:47your witness.
13:51Davao City Mayor
13:52Sebastian Duterte
13:53said that he is
13:54just postponing
13:55the implementation
13:56of the Warrant of Arrest
13:57by the police.
13:58But it seems that
13:59the PNP did not follow
14:00the proper and
14:01legal procedure
14:02due to the use
14:03of force
14:05and the unauthorized
14:06occupation of the compound.
14:08He also recognizes
14:09the right to protest
14:10by members of the KOJC,
14:12but he wants to do it
14:13in a peaceful way.
