00:00A motorcycle collided in a house in Mangaldan, Pangasinan.
00:11The rider was killed.
00:13His body was wounded and he is still in the hospital.
00:16According to the police, both of them were not wearing helmets.
00:20The victims were drinking and smoking.
00:24In a big fire in Bacoor City, Cavite, it burned until Cavitex.
00:30More than 800 houses and 1,000 families were affected.
00:35The fire spread quickly because apart from making light materials in the houses,
00:41the wind is strong.
00:42It is difficult to respond because there are many people who are evacuating.
00:49According to the investigation, it is possible that the couple started the fire.
00:54Just last night, there was a window where they started the fire.
01:00An alias, Allen, was arrested.
01:02He was accused of being an alias, Alao, who is said to be the leader of the fire.
01:08He will return to the hospital after the funeral of the people.
01:14Vice President Sara Duterte accused House Speaker Martin Romualdez
01:19and House Appropriations Committee Chairman Zaldico
01:23of controlling the national budget.
01:26Duterte said that some congressmen approached him in 2023
01:32to ask for their share of the 5 billion pesos
01:36allocated for the construction of the classroom of the Department of Education.
01:41When he did not agree, the budget increased to 15 billion pesos
01:46in the approved national budget.
01:48But what was added was that the DepEd did not control how to spend it.
01:54We asked for Romualdez's acceptance, but they did not agree yet.
01:59I called him a liar, said Vice President.
02:03He also insisted on using confidential funds in 2022.
02:09Meanwhile, the budget of the Office of the Vice President again interfered with the hearing in the House of Representatives.
02:15Duterte was not in the budget hearing.
02:17That's why he was dismissed again despite the motion of a congressman to end it.
02:25You may not like the person, you may not like his presence here,
02:30but you have to respect the Office of the Vice President.
02:33Vice President, there should be no more questions.
02:35What happened is a barrage of questions.
02:37That's why I'm asking, why did we do that earlier?
02:41Are we not already respecting a tradition?
02:44A while ago, Jose Marco Letez also said,
02:48a cherished tradition to approve the budget immediately,
02:51but there's a cherished tradition that when we deliberate a budget of any agency,
02:57that the head of agency should be present.
03:01We have become too kind, Madam Chair,
03:04and I would think that it is time for us to realize that we should not allow any head of agency
03:13to further insult the authority of Congress.
03:19A Chinese national boss of Pogoraw helped Dismissed Mayor Alice Guo
03:26to be able to speak outside the Philippines.
03:29According to a senator, it is also due to Guo's written name in the hearing yesterday.
03:36IAN CRUZ has a report.
03:41I heard that he is the boss of one of the bosses of Pogoraw.
03:45This is what Senator Jingo Estrada depicted,
03:48the Chinese national man who helped Alice Guo to be able to speak outside the Philippines.
03:54Guo wrote his name in the hearing yesterday,
03:57but he did not want to give details because it will affect his life.
04:02The name was not made public by the senators,
04:05but Senator Risa Ontiveros said that it was already mentioned in the previous hearings
04:10based on the information of Estrada,
04:12who is now in Taiwan as an individual passport holder of various countries.
04:17This person you wrote is a passport holder of five countries.
04:24Quito, Nevis, China, Cyprus, Dominica, and Cambodia.
04:31It's a Chinese name. I'm not sure. I might be wrong.
04:34But how many names did you write?
04:36Just one.
04:37Estrada thought.
04:38Maybe that's why Alice Guo was asked to go abroad.
04:41Maybe she will sing this song that facilitated her escape.
04:47While in Indonesia, the NBI showed a picture of a lookalike of Guo,
04:52which according to the NBI was used by the former mayor to confuse the authorities in their search for him.
04:59What's your name?
05:03My name is...
05:07What's your name?
05:09Most of my people have long hair.
05:11What's your face like?
05:13Slimmer version.
05:15We are monitoring that woman because she is always with Alice.
05:21It's a lookalike.
05:23She might be the one in the car.
05:27According to Atty. Galicia, Alice is in the car.
05:31The NBI's attorney, Atty. Galicia, is the lawyer who notarized the counter affidavit of Guo
05:39in a human trafficking complaint on August 14.
05:42Even though he is no longer in the Philippines,
05:45at that time, Guo was already being searched by the NBI for the body double of Guo.
05:51The NBI also does not believe that there is no Filipino who helped Guo to escape the country.
05:58When he was connected to POGO,
06:02many people were assisting him, advising him, whatever.
06:10When he escaped, many private and public officials were assisting him.
06:18On September 17, the Senate will continue the hearing.
06:21In the letter of the presiding judge, Sara Vedania de los Santos to Senator Risa Ontiveros,
06:26it is stated that Guo may leave whenever needed during the hearing.
06:30He needs a prior request from the Senate to avoid conflict in the schedule of the court hearing.
06:38Ian Cruz reporting for GMA Integrated News.
06:42To blur or not to blur?
06:44The PNP explained why they blurred the mugshots of Pastor Apollo Quibuloy and four of his accomplices.
06:53After the DILG released the blurred mugshots of Quibuloy, Jun Vederation has a report.
07:02The blurred mugshots of Pastor Apollo Quibuloy and four of his accomplices were released by the PNP yesterday.
07:11In the official mugshots released today, DILG Secretary Bernard Abalos saw their faces.
07:18The PNP's policy is to follow the advisory and guidance of the Commission on Human Rights
07:27that we should not be exposing their acquaintance.
07:30That is the personal request of Pastor Quibuloy and his lawyer.
07:35The explanation why Quibuloy's face was covered when it was presented to the public yesterday.
07:40The request of the lawyers and the individual, he really cannot force them to show their faces.
07:46I can assure you, I will leave my service to them.
07:50According to Quibuloy's lawyer, there is a conflict in the testimony of the pastor.
07:55It's not clear what this is, but the word mugshot was mentioned in his post.
08:00Quezon City RTC Branch 106 transferred Quibuloy and his accomplice to the BJMP jail facility in the case of child and sexual abuse.
08:11But they will remain in the PNP custodial facility because of the commitment order of Pasig RTC Branch 159,
08:19where they are facing a case of qualified human trafficking that cannot be considered.
08:24We don't want to run the risk that they will be transferred to the QC and they will be bailed and the PNP will no longer have control there.
08:33Quibuloy and his accomplice will be separated and they are not allowed to use gadgets.
08:39Quibuloy's arraignment will be held on Friday via videoconference in Quezon City RTC and physical appearance in Pasig RTC.
08:48Davao Regional Police is preparing for the possible complaints filed against them by Kingdom of Jesus Christ,
08:55the organization that operated their compound.
08:58Davao Regional Police is also studying the filing of complaints against KOJC.
09:04We are still trying to get hold of the KOJC.
09:07In a resolution, Davao City Council called on the Interior Department to investigate the human trafficking of police
09:15in the constitutional rights of the members of KOJC.
09:18The DILG has not yet announced anything about this.
