Transcript

00:00We will talk to the Office of Civil Defense spokesperson, Edgar Posadas.

00:08Good morning and welcome to Balitang Hali.

00:11Sir Raffy, good morning.

00:13It's raining but good morning to all of you and to all who are watching and listening to your program.

00:19How widespread is the flooding of Baguio-Enteng here in Metro Manila?

00:26That's almost all of Metro Manila.

00:29That's why we, Sir Raffy, have already declared that there will be no entry to all public schools and offices of the government.

00:41Because the safety of our countrymen is paramount to us.

00:47We are also leaving their declarations to private entities for their employees, Sir.

00:55Are there any casualties reported due to this bad weather?

01:01There are still some that are being recorded, Sir.

01:03But these are still for confirmation.

01:06One was affected by landslides yesterday in Cebu.

01:12We also have one in Bicol, Sir, that we are confirming.

01:16Other than that, we have nothing to report as casualties, Sir.

01:23Why is it only Metro Manila that has suspensions?

01:25Are other areas still being studied?

01:27No, there are suspensions outside Metro Manila, Sir.

01:31And we leave that to our regional RCMC and local government units.

01:38We are closely in touch with the local government units of different regions.

01:43Starting yesterday, we are in Region 7, Region 8, Region 5, Region 4A, Region 4B, Metro Manila, and Region 3.

01:53And we will go through that.

01:54Earlier, when we were interviewing Pag-asa, we were here in Northern Luzon, Regions 1 and 2, Sir.

02:01How is the evacuation effort in areas heavily affected by the typhoon Enteng?

02:05And were there pre-emptive evacuations carried out?

02:07Because, of course, it is the most difficult to evacuate when there is heavy rain and wind.

02:13Yes, there were, like here in Region 5.

02:16And our regional director mentioned that earlier.

02:20I spoke to Director Yukot.

02:22I haven't been able to get the exact numbers yet, Sir.

02:25Please let me know because we are still responding.

02:28But as we speak again in the next few days, I will be able to give you the data, Sir.

02:34So now, based on the initial assessment, will this be the same as the one in Baguiong Karina on July 24?

02:41We are not yet...

02:43I am no expert on this.

02:46As Pag-asa said, there are no two typhoons that are the same.

02:54Although they are the same, they both enhanced the distance.

03:00So we are monitoring two typhoons now.

03:03In our eastern seaboard, the typhoon, the tropical storm Enteng,

03:09which is possible to reach the severe tropical storm,

03:12and the typhoon category when it comes out in the Philippine area of responsibility.

03:16And of course, we are also monitoring on the western side, Sir Rafi.

03:20In Sambales, I'm from Sambales,

03:23we are monitoring the western side of Luzon,

03:27including the western side of southern Luzon, Mindoro provinces, and Batangas, Cavite.

03:34And of course, the western Visayas because of the effects of the typhoon.

03:39In any case, whatever the status of the typhoon and typhoon,

03:43our countrymen should be careful and monitor the news.

03:46Thank you very much for your time this afternoon.

03:50Thank you very much, Sir Rafi. Long live and good morning.

03:53This is OCD Spokesperson, Director Edgar Posadas.

03:57Again, the Chinese Coast Guard's ship, the BRP Teresa Magbanwa of the Philippines,

04:02docked in Escoda Shoal here on Saturday.

04:04Despite this, the Philippine Coast Guard insisted that their ship will remain there

04:09to monitor the reclamation activities of China.

04:13Breaking news, Vuan Aquino.

04:18A person can enter this big hole in the BRP Teresa Magbanwa.

04:24It was hit by three times by the Chinese Coast Guard Vessel 5205.

04:29The Philippine Coast Guard can see the other broken pieces of the ship.

04:34There's a damage on the bridge swing and also on the freeboard of the 9701.

04:41There is this hole that also was a result of a direct ramming conducted by the Chinese Coast Guard

04:49and also on this part.

04:51The BRP Teresa Magbanwa is docked alone in Escoda Shoal

04:55surrounded by three ships of the Chinese Coast Guard,

04:58five Chinese militia vessels, and two ships of the People's Liberation Army Navy.

05:06Until it was hit by the Chinese Coast Guard Vessel 5205,

05:10it turned its back on our ship.

05:14Hold it.

05:16Their plan is to close it.

05:18The Chinese Coast Guard carried out dangerous maneuvers despite of being unprovoked.

05:25There was no damage to the ships that were still surrounded.

05:30Based on the post of the ex-maritime security expert, Ray Powell,

05:34more than 15 Chinese vessels were surrounded by the BRP Teresa Magbanwa.

05:39The US, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and UK

05:44have been harassed by China in the Philippines

05:48inside our Exclusive Economic Zone this August.

05:51The Chinese Coast Guard, PCG, is the one to blame.

05:54They even released their own video to show that our ships were deliberately bombed.

06:00The Philippines was again warned by China

06:03that our ships should be removed because their sovereignty is being violated.

06:08It's really infuriating when someone says that we bombed.

06:14How crazy that argument is.

06:18It's only been a minute, four minutes, and we were bombed again.

06:23For people who are arguing, I think it's very frustrating,

06:30especially when we see it on social media,

06:33that we are allies with the Filipinos.

06:35Or worse yet, it's the former part of the government.

06:40Last April, the BRP Teresa Magbanwa was at the Escoda show

06:43and was brought there amidst the reclamation activities of China.

06:48On the other hand, the Chinese released the contents of their documentary on Escoda,

06:54which they call Xian Binjiao.

06:57They said that they did not destroy the shipwrecks there.

07:00They said that the activities of the Philippines are destroying the environment there.

07:04We are still trying to get the statement of the PCG here,

07:08but the PCG's gate will not be removed by the BRP Teresa Magbanwa.

07:13We will still hold the line and we will maintain our presence in Escoda show.

07:18Von Aquino reporting for GMA Integrated News.

07:24Miss Universe 2018's Catriona Gray was the victim of a broken car in London, United Kingdom.

07:31In Cat's IG story, she showed the broken window of their car in the park.

07:37Cat's story is that they bought lunch at that time before going to the airport.

07:42They said that their passports of their companions,

07:47as well as their other belongings,

07:49are based on the first IG posts of Catriona and her parents during her Europe trip.
