00:00We will be with you in Sakili!

00:14Some witnesses were able to run in the mountainous areas of Mayhacema Highway in Atok, Benguet,

00:19Bonson, Paguulangdala, Habagat, and Daang, Baguio-Enteng.

00:24This highway connects Benguet and Mountain Province.

00:29A lane was first opened in the traffic while the cleaning operations of DPWH continued.

00:35But it was also closed when the rain intensified.

00:38On August 23, another part of the highway in the town of Baguias was also closed due to landslides.

00:50Arrest warrant from the Court of Appeal will meet Dismissed Bamban Mayor Alice Wu on his return to the Philippines.

00:57Last night, he left for Indonesia.

01:00Tomorrow, Alice Wu is expected to go to the Senate,

01:03where the first questions were raised about his identity and connection to Pogo in Bambang, Tarlac.

01:10From Pasay, Saksi Live, Raffy Tima.

01:13Raffy!

01:18Pia, this is the first half of the morning.

01:20Dismissed Mayor Alice Wu is expected to arrive here in Naia.

01:24Here, in a private hangar, he will direct his airplane,

01:28along with DILG Secretary Bernard Abalos and PNP Chief Romero Marbil.

01:33He will also be placed under Immigration Procedure.

01:36Here, he will receive an arrest warrant from Tarlac for a case of graft.

01:41He will also be placed under Booking Procedure and Medical Check-up

01:46before being taken to Campo Crame, where he will spend the night.

01:55At the PNP Custodial Center,

01:57Magdamag is expected to transfer Dismissed Bambang Mayor Alice Wu

02:00on his return to the Philippines from Indonesia.

02:03Tomorrow, he will be taken to the Senate, where he will receive an arrest warrant

02:06for several times failing to meet the hearings.

02:09In the Senate, the first questions were raised about Wu's identity

02:13while discussing his connection to Pogo in Bambang, Tarlac,

02:17which is located in Bawfulan, where Alice Wu became an incorporator.

02:22But what Wu saw was that he sold his share in Bawfulan.

02:26I am not connected. I am not an operator.

02:30I am not a protector or a cutler of Pogo.

02:33I have nothing to do with their operation

02:36and with anything they do inside and outside of Pogo.

02:41After the hearings, the questions about Alice Wu's identity were answered.

02:46And when it came to the investigation of NBI and COMELEC on Wu's fingerprint,

02:50their fingerprints are the same on a Chinese citizen named Guo Huaping.

02:55I am a Filipino. I grew up knowing that I am a Filipino.

03:00According to DOJ, the case of Qualified Human Trafficking against Guo

03:03will be brought to court any day.

03:06He has a non-bailable case.

03:08We expect it to be decided very soon.

03:13We expect it to be decided very soon.

03:16Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Rimulya is not worried about the possibility that Guo will escape again

03:21because it is time for another case to be brought to court.

03:24At the same time, a hold departure order will be issued against the accused.

03:27DOJ also said that they have not yet received an official request

03:31regarding the Australian fugitive Gregor Johan Haas.

03:34According to a news agency in Indonesia,

03:37Haas is asking for a replacement for Alice Guo.

03:41In May, Haas was arrested in Bogo, Cebu.

03:43He was connected to the Sinaloa Drug Cartel of Mexico

03:46and is behind the entry of a large group of drugs in Indonesia.

03:50Haas is in a BI detention facility in Taguig.

03:53I cannot make any statements on that

03:57because the talks have only just started this morning

04:02and nothing is only about to start.

04:04So I don't have any information to disclose.

04:07So far, we don't have any information like that.

04:09We don't have any contact with anybody about the Prisoner's Walk.

04:13We heard about it through Indonesian media actually.

04:17The Prisoner's Walk is the work of the DFA.

04:20If the Indonesian government has a request,

04:23it will be sent to the DFA.

04:30When Dismissed Mayor Guo arrived here,

04:32early in the morning,

04:34after his booking procedure,

04:36after serving his arrest warrant,

04:38and after his medical check-up,

04:40there will be a press conference

04:42where details will be discussed

04:44on how he was arrested.

04:46That's the latest from Andrews Road in Maypasay.

04:50I'm Rafi Tima, your witness.

04:54Two Chinese nationals were arrested for human trafficking

04:57in an illegal drug deal in the Subic Freeport Zone.

05:00The witness is June Veneracion.

05:03PNP-CIDG investigated an illegal drug deal

05:07in the Subic Freeport Zone

05:09where two Chinese nationals were arrested

05:12for human trafficking.

05:14Eighteen Chinese were also rescued.

05:16The PNP-CIDG was under surveillance for two weeks

05:19because of the information provided by the informants

05:23that there was a bill

05:26that a lot of Chinese were going out and entering.

05:30Upon confirmation that there were really Chinese,

05:33we applied for a search warrant.

05:36Among the recovered were computers,

05:38cellphones and phones.

05:40The suspects and the rescuers

05:42were under the custody of the PNP-CIDG in Kamkrame.

05:45The suspects will file a complaint

05:47against the Anti-Trafficking In Persons Act.

05:49The authorities are continuously looking for information

05:52to crack down on other illegal drugs in the country.

05:55Based on the crackdown,

05:56they splintered into small groups

05:59and that's why we're having a hard time

06:01because we need the eyes of our community.

06:06We are still trying to get hold of the suspects.

06:09For GMA Integrated News,

06:11your June Veneration, Saksi.

06:15Face-to-face classes will be suspended tomorrow

06:17for all classes in private and public schools

06:20in Nasugbu, Batangas.

06:22The same goes for Bataan Province,

06:24but modular distance learning can be conducted

06:27following the suspension of classes.

06:30In Bulacan, a large portion is still submerged in the river

06:33and even if it's dangerous,

06:35many are still drowning in the river in Valenzuela City.

06:38Saksi, Marisol Abduraman.

06:44Motorists and commuters

06:46are not allowed to cross the MacArthur Highway

06:49in Valenzuela City.

06:51Computers are no choice.

06:52They are drowning because it's hard to ride.

06:55The other vehicles are almost there.

06:57That's why I was allowed to go home.

06:59The traffic is even more chaotic

07:01because the cars are being pushed back

07:03because of the high tide.

07:05Because of the high tide in this part of the MacArthur Highway

07:08in Valenzuela City,

07:09the cars are being pushed back.

07:11There are some riders

07:12who are willing to push their motorcycles

07:15just to cross the area.

07:17Sir, what are you planning to do?

07:20I need to go home, that's why I was pushed back.

07:23Ah, so you were not allowed to go home.

07:25No, I was not.

07:26Maybe later, the water will come in.

07:27I will just go home because my motorcycle can't handle it.

07:30It might break.

07:31A church in Polo is also submerged in the river.

07:34In Barangay Poblacion,

07:35even the water is scarce.

07:37The residents are used to being in the river

07:40but this situation is still difficult.

07:42It's really difficult.

07:44First of all, we have to find a way to live.

07:46It's difficult because we will be hungry

07:48if we don't eat.

07:49It's dangerous.

07:50That's why it's necessary

07:52because we won't be able to eat.

07:5572 barangays in the province of Bulacan

07:58are still submerged in the river

07:59according to the TDRRMO,

08:01just like Barangay Lawa in Meghawayan.

08:05Some residents of Marilao

08:06have been carrying garbage

08:08in the river for 4 days.

08:10Every time the Marilao River floods,

08:12the garbage brings water

08:14to the nearby barangays.

08:17And because the river is shallow,

08:18it floods easily

08:20just like every other time of the year.

08:23The neighborhoods of Giquinto and Balagtas

08:25are also submerged in the river.

08:27In the town of Santa Maria,

08:28the Makaibang Bridge is still not accessible

08:30because of the high water level

08:32until the river meets the Kandaba-Baliwag Road.

08:36There is also a deep river

08:38in the Hermos Sabataan area.

08:40For GMA Integrated News,

08:43Marisol Abduraman is your witness.

08:48It will continue to rain in some parts of the country

08:50due to the trough of the Super Typhoon Yagi

08:52or the former Typhoon Enteng

08:54and the strong winds.

08:55According to the Metro Weather,

08:57there is a high chance of rain

08:59in a large part of Luzon.

09:01There is still a strong downpour

09:03especially in the western sections

09:04so be alert in the event of floods or landslides.

09:07In Visayas and Mindanao,

09:09it is also possible for it to rain in the afternoon.

09:11The rain is heavy

09:12but there is a strong downpour

09:15especially if there are localised thunderstorms.

09:18Compared to the past few days,

09:20it is possible that the heavy rains in Metro Manila

09:22will be lessened

09:24but still, be careful.

09:27The brother of Alice Guo,

09:29Wesley Guo,

09:30agreed to testify

09:31according to the lawyer of the dismissed mayor of Bamban

09:34in the hearing of the Senate earlier.

09:36The witness is Sandra Aguinaldo.

09:39While the authorities were holding Alice Guo in Indonesia,

09:42her brother, Sheila Guo,

09:44was handed over to the Senate

09:46on how they got out

09:48by the dismissed mayor of the Philippines.

09:50Sheila testified that they crossed the sea

09:53towards Sabang, Malaysia

09:55before going to Indonesia.

09:57Where did you ride?

09:59And I don't believe that you don't remember

10:01the basic details of this.

10:02No, I don't.

10:03What I know is that when we went to

10:06when we went to

10:10We crossed the wrong tollgate

10:12and went to Skyway.

10:14Where did you cross?

10:16The wrong tollgate.

10:18Wrong tollgate?

10:19We went to Skyway.

10:21And then?

10:23It was straight ahead.

10:24I don't know where it was.

10:25So you went south?

10:27No, we already know that.

10:29It's hard to believe actually

10:31that you three, Alice,

10:33you have billions of pesos.

10:36The entire country is looking for you.

10:39You're exposing yourself

10:40to such a dangerous journey

10:42in the sea.

10:44Because Sheila was already in jail

10:46for money laundering,

10:48a senator has a reminder.

10:50We just want to remind you

10:52the 87 counts

10:54is just one of your cases.

10:57There are so many more to come.

11:00We don't believe

11:02in the story that you're selling us.

11:04We will not buy

11:06what you're saying

11:08and you'll be even smaller.

11:10According to the Anti-Money Laundering Council,

11:12most of the transactions in Alice's accounts

11:15are hundreds of millions of pesos in cash

11:17that doesn't match her earnings.

11:19This is the bigger crime.

11:21Putting up a building

11:22that we don't know how the money came in.

11:24That's my point.

11:28And I'll show that the same

11:30phenomenon in Borac.

11:33So my point is,

11:35we're going to go beyond

11:37the money launderers that we don't know.

11:39Senators are also questioning

11:41the law enforcement agencies

11:43on how Alice got caught

11:45and if it's possible

11:47that the group used a private plane.

11:49According to the Civil Aviation Authority

11:51of the Philippines,

11:52the names of Alice and her accomplices

11:54are not on the manifest of private planes.

11:57The PNP,

11:59the Bureau of Immigration

12:00and the Bureau of Quarantine

12:02all the passengers of the private plane

12:04were caught in the manifest.

12:06The Emon Pulo Beach Resort

12:08in Zambales was also found

12:10in front of the Senate

12:11where Alice was seen this July.

12:14She's our front desk in Emon Pulo.

12:18So maybe she's the one

12:20who went to Emon Pulo.

12:22But last year,

12:24they visited Alice's group

12:26even though she has nothing to do with it.

12:29They went swimming

12:31and their helicopter landed there.

12:34And then,

12:35maybe the helicopter came back

12:37two or three times.

12:38I think they were around 20 plus.

12:40You also complained that the resort

12:42did not follow the search warrant

12:44of the PAOC

12:46that arrived at the resort this August

12:48in the name of Alice Saiteng.

12:50The PAOC explained

12:52that they have a mission order

12:53from the Bureau of Immigration.

12:55During the last public hearing

12:58of the subcommittee,

13:00we already recounted,

13:04so to speak,

13:05our information.

13:06We do apologize for the inconvenience

13:08that they have caused.

13:09But I hope Your Honor,

13:11we cannot apologize

13:12that we have to perform

13:13legitimate law enforcement functions.

13:16It was not easy to hear

13:18Cassandra Liu

13:19who was confined in the hospital

13:21due to low blood sugar

13:22after facing the camera yesterday.

13:25Mayor Lizeldo Calugay

13:27of Sualpangasinan was also absent

13:29due to dengue.

13:31Sheila was also asked

13:32about the business

13:33that was named after her

13:34in Sualpangasinan.

13:35But she said

13:36it was possible

13:37that her name was just used.

13:39In a media interview,

13:40Attorney Stephen David said

13:42that Wesley Guo wanted to give up

13:45and now Alice was arrested.

13:47She also wanted to give up.

13:49I cannot say the details.

13:52Of course,

13:53the point of a person

13:54is that you are discouraged

13:56because you have no one with you.

13:59For GMA Integrated News,

14:02Sandra Aguinaldo,

14:03your witness.

14:07After the rapid increase

14:09in the number of purchases

14:11since January,

14:12and the 4.4% inflation

14:15in July,

14:17the number of purchases

14:19was reduced to 3.3%

14:21this August.

14:22The slow increase

14:24in food prices

14:25like rice

14:26and the decrease

14:27in the price of vegetables

14:28and fish

14:29also helped

14:30the decrease

14:31in the price of oil

14:32and ship massages.

14:35Now,

14:36according to the

14:37Philippine Statistics Authority,

14:38it is expected that

14:39the next few years

14:40will have an effect

15:58Many counties

15:59are using rooftop

16:00solar energy

16:01in the country

16:02according

16:03to the department

16:04of the energy.

16:05The target of the country

16:06to increase

16:07the use

16:08of renewable energy

16:09to 50 percent

16:10by the year

16:112040.

16:12Witness

16:13Von Akino.

16:14In front of renewable

16:1535% share in renewable energy in power generation by 2030.

16:21To achieve this, the government will give incentives

16:24and will allow 100% foreign ownership in renewable energy projects.

16:29Currently, there are actually about 174 renewable energy projects in operation

16:39and have around 5,000 megawatt installed capacity.

16:47So this is actually a testament that of all the projects

16:53that are being approved and registered with BOI,

16:56there is a more than 95% implementation success rate

17:01in terms of investments in renewable energy.

17:04The government is also encouraging voluntary renewable energy programs

17:07such as net metering, green energy option, and expanded rooftop solar program.

17:13Net metering installs solar panels usually in the roof.

17:19If the owner of the house does not use it,

17:23they can sell it to the distribution utility.

17:27We already have a regulatory framework and policies.

17:31You save around 15 to 20% of the cost if you build your own generating facility.

17:40And if the generating facility is solar powered by battery,

17:45in the long run, it's more competitive because it's comparable to a diesel gen center.

17:54Renewable energy companies were also given the opportunity

17:59by the government and stakeholders to collaborate on projects.

18:05For GMA Integrated News, I'm your host, Saksy.

18:15Attention, Eugene's fans!

18:17Because this is the K-pop Girl Group in the country.

18:20In Cuja ng Naiya, the girls were spotted at the airport fresh from South Korea.

18:26The K-pop group is in the country for the Ultimate Fandom Concert in Pasay City.

18:31Several hit songs were performed by the group, such as How Sweet.

18:36Last year, New Genes visited the Philippines for the 2023 Asia Artist Awards.

18:48Not only is she passionate about music,

18:50she is also a teacher to young people in Solsona, Ilocos Norte.

18:54She gives free music lessons to students, such as the ukulele.

19:00According to Aldrin Pagirigan,

19:03he started teaching music during lunch break in 2018.

19:08He loves playing instruments while resting.

19:12Some children are also interested in learning music.

19:16Since there is no money to buy musical instruments,

19:18the teacher lends his musical instruments to children.

19:22He is thankful to the students,

19:26especially to some of them who are already playing in their churches.

19:30The teacher says that the children's potential in the field of music is very high.

19:40It's really fun to drink soup whenever it rains.

19:44Just like the big noodle soup of La Union,

19:48which tastes like ramen.

19:51Success!

19:52This is Jasmine Gabriel Galvan of GMA Regional TV.

20:00When it rains, it's not just the weather that makes it cold.

20:07Hot and boiling soup can cool you down.

20:11And if you are in La Union,

20:12you will have a craving for soup.

20:14In the big city of Sudipen,

20:16Miki ni Labdit,

20:18the soup is creamy like ramen

20:21because it is made from boiled pork bones.

20:25It's unique.

20:26When the soup is thick,

20:28you can add the noodles.

20:32The ingredients are simple,

20:34but the foodies love it.

20:37Let's try it, Kapuso.

20:38This is Miki in the big city of Sudipen.

20:41Let's try the soup first.

20:45It's delicious, Kapuso.

20:46The soup is really creamy.

20:48And you can taste a bit of spiciness.

20:52That's why it's so delicious.

20:55Now, let's try the noodles.

21:06The noodles are so soft, Kapuso.

21:09You won't get tired of the soup and noodles

21:11when you come to Cebu City.

21:13Humba, Lanshaw, you name it,

21:15they have it.

21:16And they have added a smoky flavor to their dishes

21:19because their kalang is not made from rice.

21:22It's made from wood.

21:24It's like an open-secret recipe

21:26of their old-fashioned cooking.
