00:00We will all be together in this!
00:14The storm is getting stronger as it moves away from the Philippine area of responsibility according to the forecast.
00:20But it is still expected that it will continue to rain in the next few days.
00:24Until now, many places in Luzon are still flooded.
00:27According to a barangay near Laguna de Valle,
00:31Niko Wahe is a witness.
00:33Niko?
00:37Atom Pia is still flooded here in Barangay De La Paz in Binan, Laguna.
00:42Unlike other places where the water rises quickly when it rains,
00:46here, the rain lasts for a week.
00:48Sometimes, it lasts for a month.
00:50Barangay De La Paz, Binan, Laguna
00:55Barangay De La Paz, Binan, Laguna is one of the places near Laguna de Valle.
01:00That is why if it continues to rain heavily, like the storm Enteng,
01:04it will only last for a minute and it will be flooded.
01:07Today, it did not rain that much, but the flood is still high.
01:11Actually, the water is just staying in the canals.
01:14It has been a problem for a long time.
01:16Aside from the fact that they are in a low place,
01:20they are also near Laguna.
01:23So, once the water level in Laguna de Valle is high,
01:32the water automatically goes to the residential areas.
01:37The barangay is also next to the river,
01:39that is why they are the catch basin when it rains.
01:42The residents have nothing to do.
01:44We are used to it.
01:46There is nothing else. We are just here.
01:51No matter how fast the flood enters the barangay,
01:54it is slow to come out.
01:56The water level in Laguna de Valle is already high.
01:59That is why if it cannot come out immediately,
02:01it will go to Manila Bay through the Pindan Channel and Manggahan Floodway.
02:04It will last for a week.
02:06Sometimes, it lasts for a month.
02:08The recent flood did not last for a long time.
02:11It lasted for two weeks.
02:14But as of the moment,
02:17before the recent flood came,
02:19we were able to recover.
02:21Actually, it was already gone.
02:23Suddenly, the flood came again.
02:25So, back to zero.
02:27Because the residents are used to the constant flooding,
02:30they have learned to adjust to the time.
02:32The houses here, if it is not high,
02:35have second floors.
02:37Because of this road,
02:39the flood reaches up to the neck.
02:41After the flood,
02:43the house cannot move because of the stroke.
02:46It is not just a week.
02:48It is already a month.
02:50How many months?
02:52It is already a month.
02:54It started in August.
02:56And now,
02:58it is really hard.
03:00It is a good thing that the sofa she is lying on
03:02was not reached.
03:04Despite the flood,
03:06many residents do not stop looking for food.
03:09Like Mads,
03:11she is looking for vegetables and popcorn.
03:13This is for eating.
03:15This is for buying rice
03:18and vegetables.
03:20She has been living here for two decades
03:22and experienced the worst flood in Barangay De La Paz.
03:25Like Mads,
03:27the residents are still alive.
03:29The barangay and the houses
03:31provide food.
03:33I go inside.
03:35Sometimes, I just walk.
03:37Here, we are banking.
03:38It is really hard
03:40when it rains like this.
03:46Atompia,
03:48the residents are not allowed to evacuate.
03:50That is why the rescue team of the barangay
03:52is always on standby
03:54to evacuate the residents
03:56even if the water level rises.
03:58And live from Binan, Laguna,
04:00for GMA Integrated News,
04:02I am Nico Aje, your witness.
04:04It is expected that the water level will rise tomorrow.
04:05The water level will rise tomorrow.
04:07The next day, the flood will be heavy.
04:09The search for a fish
04:12that swam in the river this Friday
04:14before the flood came.
04:16I am your witness, Ian Cruz.
04:20The residents are slowly moving
04:23the fish that were caught in the river
04:25to the road, Isabela.
04:27The fish are in the water
04:29and are dead.
04:31According to the barangay,
04:33the water level suddenly rose
04:35to the level of the cows.
04:37The Bakulot Bridge
04:39in Ilagan City
04:41could not be seen
04:43because of the flood.
04:45The same is the case in the town of San Agustin.
04:47The overflow bridge
04:49in Sinawangan Norte could not be crossed.
04:51In Dinalungan, Aurora,
04:53Jessica could not think
04:55and find her way
04:57after her wife, Egay,
04:59did not return home this Friday.
05:01It is hard.
05:05I don't know if Ian is still alive
05:07or dead.
05:14I still hope that Ian is alive.
05:17Yesterday, Roger went home
05:19and another boat
05:21with three other fishermen.
05:23But Egay was not with them.
05:25We only saw the light
05:27at around 8 or 10.
05:29But it was already far away.
05:31Then the lights changed.
05:32We could not see anything.
05:34There was no light.
05:36The local government
05:38of Dinalungan
05:40is planning to conduct
05:42a search and rescue.
05:44More than 50 residents
05:46were evacuated
05:48to Peñaranda, Nueva Ecija
05:50because of the flood
05:52from Peñarandanam.
05:54The river also overflowed
05:56so the roads
05:58in Saguday, Quirino Province
06:00could not be crossed.
06:02A landslide occurred
06:04at Bontocalinga Road last night.
06:06Clearing operations were carried out
06:08and the road was cleared.
06:10But the landslide
06:12at Cervantes Road,
06:14Ilocos Sur
06:16by stranded motorists
06:18was also an issue.
06:20In Bangued, Abra,
06:22heavy rains and winds
06:24were felt due to the strong winds.
06:26Some parts of Kalasio, Pangasinan
06:28were also flooded
06:30forcing residents
06:32to evacuate their homes.
06:34The Office of Civil Defense Region 2
06:36also issued a warning
06:38that water will flow
06:40from its reservoir.
06:42A spillway will open
06:44at 2 pm on September 4.
06:46For GMI Integrated News,
06:48Ian Cruz is your eyewitness.
06:51A barangay captain
06:53and his wife
06:55in Davao City
06:57were rescued.
06:59Based on police investigation,
07:00a while ago,
07:02a SUV was driven by the barangay captain
07:04of Datu, Salumay and his wife
07:06when two suspects
07:08and a rain of bullets
07:10blocked them.
07:12The suspects were able to escape.
07:14The bullets hit the house's roof
07:16while the captain was not injured.
07:18The investigation continues
07:20on the motive of the crime.
07:22The Kingdom of Jesus Christ
07:24accused the police
07:26of entering a house's basement
07:28in their compound.
07:30RGL Relator
07:32of GMA Regional TV is your eyewitness.
07:36The Kingdom of Jesus Christ
07:38showed the footage
07:40of a suspect entering
07:42a house's basement
07:44inside the KOJC compound
07:46in Davao City.
07:48It was sent to Attorney Israelito Torreon,
07:50a lawyer of the group,
07:52who did not inform him.
07:54The suspect entered the basement
07:56of Jose Maria College
07:588 meters away
08:00by mistake.
08:02The PNP tricked him
08:04into entering the compound.
08:06The allegations
08:08were made by Attorney Torreon
08:10and the group.
08:12Together with the media,
08:14Attorney Torreon went to the place.
08:16Allow us access to JMC basement.
08:18I have been requesting
08:20confirmation for a few days
08:22if the interrogation is true.
08:24Until now,
08:26you have not answered.
08:28He tried to enter the basement
08:30by mistake.
08:32You are under arrest warrant.
08:34This is not a search warrant.
08:36You do not have the right
08:38to conduct mining operations there.
08:40The team leader went out.
08:42If I get hurt here,
08:44I will file a case against you.
08:46If I get hurt here,
08:48I will file a case against you.
08:50I will file a case against you.
08:52I will file a case against you.
08:54In one statement,
08:56Attorney Torreon pointed out
08:58that the PNP still does not see
09:00the tunnel
09:02after 11 days of mining.
09:04So there is no basis
09:06and the PNP's belief
09:08that they are looking for
09:10is just a hoax.
09:12But the PNP still believes
09:14that Kibuloy is in the compound.
09:16Until now,
09:18we still believe
09:20that he is there
09:22and we trust him.
09:24There is always time
09:26for everything.
09:28And it will come
09:30to an end.
09:32The police will not stop
09:34until Pastor Kibuloy is arrested
09:36for child abuse
09:38and human trafficking.
09:40We have a direct interest
09:42in my children.
09:45But we will not fight.
09:47We will not fight.
09:51Let's remember
09:53why we are here.
09:55According to Torreon,
09:57there is no need for a search warrant
09:58for their location
10:00in the KOJC compound.
10:02There is no search warrant here.
10:04The search warrant
10:06is for the contraband.
10:08We are not saying
10:10that there is contraband
10:12inside the KOJC.
10:14In the middle of the interrogation
10:16of Pastor Kibuloy,
10:18the Commission on Human Rights
10:20monitors and investigates
10:22if human rights are violated.
10:24As far as we know,
10:26freedom of religion
10:28is prohibited by the PNP
10:30to use their cathedral
10:32and place a cordon around it.
10:34The Commission reminds
10:36that the police operation
10:38should be limited
10:40to carrying out
10:42an arrest warrant
10:44and not a search warrant
10:46for their location.
10:48It should be carried out
10:50according to the law
10:52and principles
10:54of human rights.
10:56However,
10:58the Commission reminds
11:00the members
11:02not to hinder the police
11:04in their duty
11:06to carry out
11:08an arrest warrant for Kibuloy.
11:10For GMA Insigrid,
11:12I am R. E. Jill Relator
11:14of GMA Regional TV.
11:16Your witness.
11:18According to the lawyer
11:20of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ,
11:22Attorney Israelito Torreon,
11:24the PNP Region 11 Chief
11:26Police Brigadier General
11:28of the Republic of the Philippines,
11:30if Kibuloy is just walking
11:32in the compound,
11:34why does he need to destroy
11:36the foundation of Jose Maria College?
11:38Torreon also admitted
11:40that his family is under threat
11:42of death
11:44so that they can hide
11:46their mission
11:48by asking for sympathy
11:50from the public.
11:52One of the major
11:54victims of Hurricane Enteng
11:56is the province of Rizal.
11:58Three people were killed
12:00after their house
12:02was flooded.
12:04Two more are being searched.
12:06Witness, Marizo Mali.
12:08Help! Help!
12:10These rescuers are helping
12:12in the city of Upper Banaba,
12:14Barangay San Luis, Antipolo
12:16because of the flooding yesterday
12:18that affected not only the house
12:20of the Negro family
12:22but also five of its members.
12:24It only happened for 10 minutes.
12:26Suddenly, the water was flooded
12:28and the house was completely
12:30destroyed.
12:32The house was completely
12:34destroyed.
12:36The house was completely
12:38destroyed.
12:40The death was found
12:42in the river yesterday
12:44at around 1 p.m.
12:46by his nephew,
12:48Roan,
12:50and his mother,
12:52Catherine.
12:54Until this morning,
12:56three more were being searched.
12:58I don't know if
13:00I'll be able to escape.
13:02I don't know if I'll be able
13:04to escape.
13:06If not,
13:08that's how it is.
13:10I don't know if I'll be able
13:12to escape.
13:14I just want to go home.
13:17Before 4 p.m.,
13:1911 of them were found
13:21under a tree.
13:23According to the rescuers,
13:25the family confirmed
13:26that one of their members
13:28was the victim.
13:30The rescue operation was not easy
13:32especially when it was raining heavily.
13:34The ground was very muddy
13:36so it was difficult to move
13:38because of the big rocks
13:40to know if someone was trapped
13:42underneath.
13:44The road was very steep.
13:46We estimated it to be
13:4875 to 80 meters
13:50from ground zero
13:52to there.
13:54In fact, the child,
13:56we found him here.
13:58When you removed the rocks,
14:00did you smell anything?
14:02We smelled something
14:04but we couldn't determine
14:06if it was a human or an animal.
14:08Even though our chance
14:10is small,
14:12we need to be sure.
14:14If the rain continues,
14:16we'll stop.
14:18We can't risk
14:20the lives
14:22of our rescuers.
14:24Actually,
14:26they understand
14:28what the victims felt.
14:36In Barangay Hulo,
14:38in the town of Pililya,
14:40a house was given
14:42to the Pililya River
14:44yesterday,
14:46with a kitchen and bathroom.
14:48The family left the house
14:50before it was flooded.
14:52It was very scary.
14:54It was a sunny day
14:56but it was a rainy night.
14:58If we were here,
15:00our family would be gone.
15:02We are thankful
15:04that our family is still alive.
15:06Broken walls
15:08and broken windows
15:10are the only way
15:12to escape the hardship.
15:14In this row,
15:16three houses collapsed
15:18and the river in front of them.
15:20In some places in Pililya-Rizal,
15:22the residents of the house
15:24also helped in rescuing
15:26the neighbors
15:28in Sitio Sala Mabuluhan,
15:30SK Kagawa Joshua Sanggalang.
15:32Even though they were there,
15:34the whole house was swept away.
15:36Our house was swept away
15:38and it slowly fell.
15:40It was painful.
15:42It felt like
15:44you were swept away
15:46because we were
15:48slowly pushing it.
15:50That's what happened.
15:51We have a business
15:53inside the river.
15:57The water level in the barangay
15:59was high.
16:01I think our house was swept away.
16:03When it fell,
16:05the water left a deep pudic.
16:08They had to use
16:10a pain loader
16:12to clean it.
16:14Because of the flooding yesterday,
16:16the pudic is now leaking.
16:18The store
16:19is now full
16:21of motorcycles
16:23that are being repaired
16:25after the flood.
16:27The store was also flooded.
16:29The water level is so high.
16:31It's a flood.
16:33One of the first places
16:35to be flooded
16:37is Imelda Avenue in San Andres
16:39where the nearby subdivisions are located.
16:41There are a lot of stranded people.
16:43These are the stranded people
16:45in Village East.
16:50That's the PWD.
16:52That's the child.
16:54Some of you are going down.
16:56That's Nanay.
16:58According to the Local Government of Cainta,
17:00the situation was dire
17:02when some subdivisions
17:04were able to get water
17:06from the Antipolo River.
17:08That's why the water level
17:10quickly rose.
17:12Floods have also occurred
17:14in many places in Cainta.
17:16Residents are now busy
17:17getting water from the river.
17:19According to Jerry,
17:21the flood they experienced
17:23when they first lived here
17:25in the 1980s
17:27is just the beginning.
17:29But as time goes by,
17:31the flood problem
17:33is getting worse.
17:35How high is the water level?
17:37Up to your ears?
17:39Yes.
17:41What are the discharges
17:43inside?
17:44The water level
17:46was raised
17:48to be able to cook.
17:50According to the municipality,
17:52all 7 barangays of Cainta were flooded.
17:54We receive water from the mountains
17:56and other towns
17:58across the creeks.
18:00At the same time,
18:02we receive water from the sky.
18:04So the volume is really high.
18:06The municipality is now
18:08focusing on programs
18:10to fund the construction
18:12of pumping stations.
