Transcript

00:00Live from the GMA Network Center, 20 years in the making, 24 Hours.

00:11Good evening, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.

00:15Vice President Sara Duterte is now facing the camera and her office's budget.

00:24She is determined to prepare the camera for an impeachment case.

00:29When asked by the media about her relationship with the President,

00:33she did not hesitate to say that they are friends.

00:35And she answered that if there will be a tandem with Marcos, never again.

00:40Ian Cruz is on the scene.

00:45Vice President Sara Duterte is facing the House Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability,

00:51which is part of the budget of the Office of the Vice President.

00:54Manila Rep. Rolando Valeriano, who pointed out the misuse of the OVP Fund,

00:58agreed to the privileged speech.

01:03At the beginning of the hearing, Vice President Duterte became hot-tempered.

01:09What's in your rules, only witnesses are voting.

01:13You don't have rules on resource persons.

01:25Ma'am, that's just a term, but you are also considered as a resource person.

01:35Yes sir. I am a resource person.

01:37You are both a witness and a resource person.

01:41Former President and now former Representative Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo

01:45pointed out that based on a former Supreme Court decision,

01:49a witness and a resource person cannot be considered as the same.

01:55We cannot just trivialize.

01:57You are a witness and a resource person. They are not the same.

02:03The Supreme Court says they are not the same.

02:06And somebody who appears to be the accused has a different tier of protection from a witness.

02:12The point of the Honorable Arroyo is well taken.

02:16But we will proceed to the out-taking.

02:19If the Vice President refused to take her oath, we will respect that.

02:27Please raise your right hand. Do you solemnly swear...

02:31In the end, only the resource persons from the Department of Budget and Management

02:37and Commission on Audit and the Vice President remained seated.

02:41In her statement, the Vice President stated that they are not doing anything wrong.

02:45There is no fraudulent fund.

02:47And if there are any audit findings, they are ready to answer it in court.

02:51And if there is another case, they will face it in court.

02:55The reason is political. That is why she is the judge of the investigation.

02:59What we are witnessing now is no ordinary legislative inquiry.

03:05This exercise is a well-funded and coordinated political attack.

03:11This much is evident from the very words of the privileged speech that prompted this inquiry.

03:20A speech that simply meant to say, do not vote for Sara on 2028.

03:28It is clear to me that this inquiry is not about misused funds, accountability, or governance.

03:37Instead, it is solely aimed at discrediting my name and my office to prevent future political contests.

03:46What you are trying to do is make a case for impeachment.

03:55I am not a candidate for the upcoming election.

04:00It is noteworthy that in the last hearing of the House Appropriations Panel,

04:03Vice President Duterte admitted that the OVP budget for 2022 was cut by the legislators.

04:12The Appropriations Committee also recommended that the OVP budget for 2025 should be cut by more than a million pesos.

04:20You have the complete freedom to do whatever you wish with the OVP budget.

04:28If you feel that all the documentary submissions are not enough, then by all means, do not give a budget.

04:36I will not allow myself to be subjected to an inquiry based on an empty privileged speech.

04:44Just so you can attack me and do indirectly what you failed to do directly during the budget hearings.

04:54Because she did not ask, the lawmakers did not ask VP Sara.

04:59But before noon, Vice President Duterte approached Ms. Chua.

05:03When she returned to her seat, Vice President Duterte spoke again to make an excuse for the hearing.

05:08May I request to leave the inquiry?

05:13Ma'am, you may leave considering that you did not vote.

05:19And we know that you do a lot of things.

05:22The Vice President is excused.

05:28In the ambush interview, Vice President Duterte said that the bodies are already preparing for the impeachment against her.

05:36It is very obvious what they are doing. They are practicing what they are going to do.

05:43We are just doing our job. With respect to impeachment, I do not know anything about it.

05:49So I do not know. I have no idea about impeachment. We are just doing our job.

05:57Even if she was not excused, Vice President Duterte responded to the statement of Speaker Martin Romualdez

06:02that they will not consent to hypocrisy and evasion of government agencies regarding the budget.

06:09It is obvious to me because you are asking me about his speech.

06:15And I am saying that what they are doing inside is what he described in his speech.

06:27As of now, Vice President Bongbong Marcos has not spoken to them yet.

06:32They last spoke to him when he served as Secretary of the Department of Education.

06:37Nothing. We did not talk about it. We are not friends.

06:43We just met because we became running mates.

06:48So even before we became running mates, we did not talk about it.

06:54My friend is Senator Amy Marcos.

06:57And when asked if she has a chance to be a teammate with the Marcos.

07:02Oh never again.

07:05When Vice President Duterte left the hearing,

07:12Representative Rodante Marcoleta and Manila Representative Benny Avante joined the discussion.

07:18Marcoleta was one of the people who defended Duterte in the hearing.

07:21When Vice President Duterte faced a budget hearing,

07:24he asked the Congress to pay attention to what they will do with their proposed budget.

07:29Despite Marcoleta's insistence,

07:31the notice of disallowance of the OVP is contestable and can be answered within 6 months.

08:00If the Committee on Good Government calls again,

08:04Vice President Duterte has not yet checked if he can attend the hearing again.

08:08It is said that it all depends on what the Committee will do.

08:12For GMA Integrated News, Ian Cruz reporting for 24 Horas.

08:16A dam in Occidental, Mindoro was destroyed due to the bad weather of Hurricane Genera Tabaga.

08:24The storm has left and the storm Helen will follow tonight.

08:29And from the town of Sablayan, live, Bam Alegre.

08:34Bam!

08:38Ricky, the weather is getting worse.

08:40There was Hurricane Ferdie, Hurricane Genera, and now Hurricane Helen.

08:43This is the upcoming challenge for their infrastructure and agriculture in Sablayan, Occidental, Mindoro.

08:52We came back here because of the storm earlier.

08:55On Monday morning, the water level was high in Amnai River in Barangay Claudio Salgado in Sablayan, Occidental, Mindoro.

09:01This was followed by bad weather since Hurricane Genera and Tabagat left.

09:06The cracks in the protection dike were captured in a cell phone video of a barangay resident.

09:10After a few moments, some parts of it were destroyed.

09:14Now, Hurricane Helen is here in the Philippine Area of Responsibility.

09:17The local government is double-timing the clearing operations.

09:20The concrete piles behind me are getting bigger.

09:23It's like there's no enemy that can be pushed by the water.

09:26This is how strong the force of the river is when the bad weather is here.

09:31It's a thing that gives fear to the people here.

09:34According to the resident, Roderick Sanchez, who risked the lives of his three children while there was Hurricane Helen.

09:40He will leave his family after seeing the destruction of the seawall near their house.

09:44We are saddened because we saw that it happened again.

09:49Sometimes, we take a bath in the evacuation center.

09:54The problem is the continuous heavy rain and the lack of water in some parts of the plantations.

09:59The livelihood of many farmers is affected.

10:02Like Jordan Akaak, whose rice was just borrowed.

10:05His rice fields were flooded.

10:07The plantations can no longer be used.

10:09The damage of the flood is rotting.

10:12The rice fields are rotting.

10:14Of course, if it gets hot, we won't be able to harvest it because it's already destroyed.

10:21It's already flooded.

10:23The effect of this on us is on the sector of our farmers.

10:28First of all, we are just waiting for the heat and many of us will be able to harvest.

10:35But because of this flood, our rice fields were destroyed.

10:44Occidental Mindoro is with those places that have gale warning because of the possibility of heavy rain.

10:50Small sea vehicles are ordered not to sail.

10:54While there is still no storm signal of the Hellenic Flood, the trips of Roro continue in Port of Abra de Ilog.

11:05According to the Occidental Mindoro's Provincial Disaster and Risk Reduction Management Office,

11:1010 to 11 barangays were affected by the rain and flood.

11:14Here, because of the bad weather, and near San Jose, 3 barangays were affected.

11:20Live from Sablayan, Occidental Mindoro, for GMA Integrated News, Bam Alegre.

11:25Tune in, 24 hours.

11:27Thank you very much, Bam Alegre.

11:31The people of Palawan were killed after a tree fell on their house.

11:34There were also fish caught.

11:37Live from the town of Coron, Mark Salazar was there.

11:40Mark.

11:44Emil, just today, the weather got better here.

11:48Well, I'm in the northern part of Palawan, in the island of Coron.

11:51And today, the weather was fine.

11:55But in the past days and nights, there was no sign of heavy rain.

12:02That's why in different parts of Palawan, there are signs of landslides.

12:11They were hit by a boat.

12:13We were rescued.

12:15Because of the strong wind and waves in the sea, the boat was hit.

12:24Two people were rescued by a boat after the boat was hit by a boat.

12:29The boat came from selling seaweeds when the incident happened.

12:34They were safe after being injured.

12:38In Rizal, Palawan, the 64-year-old grandfather and his 6-year-old grandson were killed after a tree fell on their house.

12:49Three members of their family were critically injured because of the incident.

12:54Coast Guard continued their cleaning operations on the fallen trees in Puerto Princesa,

12:59in the midst of the bad weather.

13:02According to DPWH-Mimaropa,

13:04some roads in Palawan and Romblon are still difficult to pass because of the fallen walls and landslides.

13:12But of course, the residents of Palawan are still worried because of the storm Helen.

13:24They are still waiting for the impact of this storm on Habagat.

13:28If this is a strong or weak Habagat.

13:31As long as the storm Helen does not leave, they will continue to be alert here.

13:37Live from Coron, Palawan, for GME Integrated News, Mark Salazar, 24 Hours.

13:45Thank you very much, Mark Salazar.

13:48More than 20 houses were affected by the Hurdy and Henner and Habagat storms.

13:56We already have 20 casualties.

14:02We have 11 injuries for validation as well.

14:05We have 14 missing.

14:09According to the Office of Civil Defense,

14:11the most affected regions are Mimaropa, CAR, Western and Central Visayas, Zamboanga Peninsula,

14:18Northern Mindanao, Davao Region, Sok Sargen, Karaga and Barm.

14:23More than half a million individuals were affected.

14:27The government continues to coordinate with local governments.

14:32More than 30,000 family food packs were distributed by the DSWD.

14:39Authorities are now holding the former budget official, Christopher Lau,

14:44who was forced to cancel his contract with the government during the pandemic.

14:50June Veneration was arrested.

14:55Almost a week after the warrant of arrest was issued by the court,

14:58PNP-CIDG in Davao City arrested Atty. Lloyd Christopher Lau at 11 a.m.

15:05Lau was the Undersecretary of Procurement Service of the Department of Budget and Management

15:09during the time of former President Rodrigo Duterte.

15:12That's why he became the center of the Senate's investigation,

15:15in line with the wrong contract of the Pharmaceutical Company during the COVID pandemic.

15:21Yesterday, people were watching his house but he didn't go home.

15:25That's why he was arrested earlier, around 11 p.m.

15:30He went under the booking procedure in the office of CIDG Region 11.

15:34But he was expected to pay P90,000,

15:38in line with the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act.

15:41The case is in line with the violation of some government officials,

15:46including former Health Secretary Francisco Duque III,

15:49who was charged with losing more than P1 billion in funds during the COVID pandemic

15:55from March to December 2020.

15:58All those who have a warrant of arrest should be jailed.

16:02They should go through the booking process and they should be jailed

16:07until they wait for the court's order to release them again because of his bail.

16:15Now that Lau has been arrested, Senator Riza Ontiveros is hoping

16:19that he will admit who is the big boss behind the corruption

16:24of the P1 billion COVID-19 funds.

16:27For GMA Integrated News, John Veneracion, Katutok, 24 Hours.

16:33President Bongbong Marcos is still waiting for justice.

16:36He is still aware of his involvement in some government officials.

16:40Ivan Mayrina is in Katutok.

16:45President Bongbong Marcos' voice is clear when he is asking for justice

16:49for the corrupt government officials.

16:52I'm sorry, I have picked up what everybody else seems to have,

16:58which is a cough and a cold, but it will not slow me down.

17:03Before this, he personally gave three awards to the corrupt officials.

17:07The Presidential Lingkud Bayan Award, Dangal ng Bayan Award, and Pagasa Award.

17:12The individual awardees received P200,000 in the prize

17:16and P100,000 to the members of the group awardees.

17:19There is also an automatic promotion to a higher rank.

17:22They proved that not everyone in the civil service is like what is thought to be slow,

17:28stingy, or lazy.

17:29The quality of the work and the initiative that people have shown

17:35really belies the general image of the civil servant as being a bit of a drudge

17:42and being not terribly imaginative.

17:48But along with praising them,

17:50he reminded others of the transparency and responsibility in performing their duties

17:55and to the public they serve.

17:57Let us continue to live by our constitutional mandate that public office is a public trust.

18:03For GMA Integrated News, Ivan Mayrina reporting for 24 Hours.

18:08On the list of those who initiated the PNP's license,

18:12some names are included in Pastor Apolo Kibuloy's group Angels of Death.

18:17Once again, the field of the pastor was amazed by the existence of such a group.

18:22Jun Veneracion reporting.

18:25Confirmed that some of the members of Angels of Death were armed by Pastor Apolo Kibuloy.

18:31This was found in the record of the PNP's Firearms and Explosives Office

18:35after receiving a letter from the Davao City Police Office

18:39to check the names involved in the investigation of Angels of Death

18:43or the fear among the victims of religious leaders so that they would not speak.

18:49Some of the individuals in the list are licensed and the others are not included.

18:55There is no record in the FEO.

18:57The PNP cannot yet say which type of weapons were included in the list given by the Davao City Police Office.

19:05It depends on the outcome of the investigation of Angels of Death.

19:09If there is an investigation involving the perpetration of criminal activities

19:16or crimes involving firearms, then it could be a ground for revocation.

19:23If there is an investigation involving the perpetration of criminal activities

19:31or crimes involving firearms, then it could be a ground for revocation.

19:39We are not discounting the possibility that some or a few of them might have been in the uniformed service

19:49whether they are still active or retired.

19:53The field of pastors who are involved in KOJC was rejected again,

19:57as well as those who will be investigated to answer for the help in hiding the bodies of some individuals

20:04on TV, radio and internet.

20:06There are prominent personalities who were vocally saying that Apolico Buloy and others are no longer inside.

20:15These are all will be taken into consideration in considering who will be the ones to file our case.

20:21For GMA Integrated News, June Veneration, 24 hours.

20:27In the middle of Hinalang, there are AFP reservists in the former private army of Pastor Apoloky Buloy.

20:32The AFP has a reminder that the reservists should not be included in the illegal activities.

20:37Chino Gaston is involved.

20:39Chino Gaston

20:45In case of war, China will continue to stop the ships of the Philippines.

20:50It is not only the soldiers of the AFP who will be called to defend the country.

20:55The reservists or civilians who are trained in military training and part of the AFP Reserve Command

21:00will be included in the estimated 150,000 military forces.

21:06Until now, the number of reservists in the country is less than 2 million.

21:09Preparation should start immediately because we don't know, especially nowadays,

21:15war will be by missiles, by drones, we call it cyber warfare or destroying the internet.

21:25That's why we need to recruit internet specialists.

21:31The 52-year-old nurse, Merjane de Guzman, is among those who enlisted in the AFP Reserve Command Recruitment

21:38that was held earlier in San Juan.

21:40My father and my uncles are soldiers.

21:43Somehow, I have a background.

21:47Since I was a child, I always wanted to be a soldier.

21:51Aside from her, some officials of the LGU also enlisted.

21:55It is important for our soldiers to be trained and know how to be a reservist.

22:04One of the reserve units is the 2nd Signal Reserve Battalion of Sunshine Media Network Inc.,

22:10the media company of KOJC, led by Pastor Apollo Quibuloy.

22:14According to the records of the Philippine Army, there are more than 400 reservists in the SMNI.

22:19It is not a problem for the members of religious organizations to be reservists.

22:24As long as they are not involved in illegal activities.

22:27One of the police is now looking for the so-called Angels of Death, a private army led by Pastor.

22:35Once there is an investigation, once the report is finalized,

22:39they will identify the reservists involved in illegal activities.

22:44The Philippine Army can recommend that we can remove them from the roster of the reserve force.

22:50Quibuloy's lawyer denied that he has a private army.

22:53Meanwhile, for those who want to be enlisted,

22:57open the booths in San Juan City Hall atrium until the end of the month.

23:01Just bring the requirements for the enlistment

23:04and remember that the requirements for commissioning are different.

23:09For GMA Integrated News,

23:11Chino Gaston for 24 Hours.

23:14Let's find out what the weather will be like with the weather presenter of GMA Integrated News,

23:23Weather Center, Amor La Rosa. Amor!

23:27Thank you, Sir Emil.

23:29There is no longer a typhoon Hener and the distance to the country of Typhoon Helen continues.

23:34But it will still rain heavily.

23:36Two typhoons accompanied the Philippine Air Force of Responsibility here last night.

23:42Until 2 o'clock this morning, the typhoon Hener and the typhoon Helen were still out.

23:50Based on the latest bulletin of Pag-asa,

23:52the Philippine Air Force of Responsibility is still outside at any time tonight.

23:57The strong wind will reach up to 85 kilometers per hour for a long time.

24:01And when it blows, it will reach 105 kilometers per hour.

24:05It moves northwest at a speed of 40 kilometers per hour.

24:10When it leaves the park, it will hit the East China Sea.

24:15Even though the typhoon Hener and the typhoon Helen are moving away,

24:19the strong wind of Southwest Monsoon continues.

24:24It can be seen here on our map that it is still hitting our country.

24:28The Philippines is still in the pull.

24:30It will rain even if there is no bad weather or typhoon inside our park.

24:37Based on the data of the Metro Weather,

24:39there is a chance of rain tomorrow morning in some parts of Ilocos Provinces,

24:43Pangasinan, Zambales, Bataan, Mindoro Provinces, and also in the province of Palawan.

24:50By the end of the day, most of Northern and Central Luzon will be raining.

24:55There are still heavy to intense rains.

24:57So be prepared for a flood or landslide.

25:02Rainfall is also possible in other parts of Mimaropa, Calabarzon, and even here in some places in Bicol Region.

25:09In Visayas and Mindanao, there are scattered rains here in Antique, Negros Island Region,

25:15Salmar, and later provinces, even in Caraga and Davao Region, especially in the afternoon.

25:22Here in Metro Manila, due to the long and high chance of rain tomorrow,

25:28it is still possible for rain to occur.

25:30It may happen before noon, and it may happen again in the afternoon or at night.

25:36So be careful.

25:38Due to the long and high chance of rain,

25:41there are big waves here in the western seaboard of Central Luzon,

25:45and also in the province of Southern Luzon.

25:49This means that there is a high chance of rain.

25:51Small vehicles cannot cross the sea because the waves are still big.

25:58Meanwhile, if you cannot see the full moon tonight,

26:01you can watch the perigee full moon or also known as super moon.

26:07It happens when the full moon is in front of the perigee,

26:11or the closest distance of the moon in our world.

26:14Because the moon is closer now, it is 7% bigger and 15% brighter than the regular full moon.

26:22But if you cannot see it tonight, that's okay.

26:25There is still hope for the next month, and that is what we will continue to help.

26:31And that is the latest in our time.

26:33I am Amor La Rosa.

26:35This is the GMA Integrated News Weather Center.

26:38You can expect anything, anytime.

26:41Authorities have already arrested the minors who threw a cat into the sea,

26:46which was carried by a thief.

26:47In a video, it was seen that a man held the cat first,

26:51then he threw it into the sea.

26:53The authorities immediately arrested the man in the video and his partner who is also a minor.

26:59It was released to the investigation that they did it to watch online content.

27:05The local government could also be accused of it,

27:08so they will be released from the punishment.

27:11The suspects are under the custody of the Municipal Social Welfare and Development Office,

27:16while the cat was in the care of the barangay,

27:19which was found to be pregnant.

27:23It is not yet verified, but the PNP assures that it can be proven that

27:28they have a former chief of staff who helped in the expulsion of Alice Go.

27:32According to Serdor Bato de la Rosa,

27:34he will file a complaint with the PANCOR official who provided the information.

27:38MAV Gonzalez is on the case.

27:44The Philippine National Police will not judge

27:47if there is a former PNP chief who was in the custody of Alice Go

27:50and helped escape the dismissed mayor.

28:09According to PNP spokesperson Colonel Jean Fajardo,

28:1224 former PNP chiefs are still alive.

28:15Following Go's escape,

28:17there are names being investigated by the PNP,

28:20but there is no former PNP chief there.

28:38In the dismissal of PANCOR to the former PNP chief who was in Go's custody,

28:43they were not given a name.

28:45They say that the information is not yet verified.

28:48According to the former PNP chief and now Serdor Ronald Bato de la Rosa,

28:52the former PNP chiefs are in charge here.

28:56They are just concerned because they know that they are not involved,

29:01but their personality is included.

29:04We have a group chat with former PNP chiefs,

29:08and some of them are very concerned.

29:11That's what they want, to clarify who is involved.

29:16If the information is not yet validated, not yet confirmed,

29:21you will be dismissed immediately.

29:23So what if it cannot be validated?

29:26The name of the former PNP chief will be destroyed.

29:29That's why de la Rosa said that it's wrong to release the information before it can be validated.

29:34Before they released it,

29:37they confirmed it and validated it.

29:40Once it's validated, they should know who the person is.

29:45They should say the name, not just say that he's the former PNP chief.

29:51It's like they're having doubts.

29:56What is this? Is this part of a grand political plan?

30:02It's like they're with the Marites.

30:06In the next hearing of the Senate,

30:08de la Rosa will blame SVP Raul Villanueva for saying this.

30:13For GMA Integrated News, Mav Gonzales, 24 Hours.

30:18Shyam was killed in the next explosion of 5,000 pagers in Lebanon.

30:23Allegations of two sources of Reuters, Israeli spy agency,

30:27planted the explosion at the production level only.

30:31If possible in the Philippines, in the firing of Maris Umali.

30:37The explosion was surprised by the mothers in a supermarket in Beirut, Lebanon.

30:43The explosion was heard from the bag of a man.

30:50According to the investigation,

30:52the explosion was caused by pagers or wireless communication devices used by the Hezbollah group,

30:57which can receive texts but cannot make phone calls.

31:02But it's not the only one,

31:04because in one hour, 5,000 pagers were exploded in different places in Lebanon.

31:11According to the Lebanese health minister,

31:13not less than 3,000 people were injured.

31:17Two of the killed are members of Hezbollah.

31:20Because of the explosion,

31:22the Taiwanese manufacturer of the exploded pagers was questioned.

31:26Its founder denied the involvement

31:29because Europe made the pagers with rights only to their brand.

31:33According to two sources of Reuters,

31:35as a senior Lebanese security official,

31:38Mossad spy agency of Israel planted the explosion of pagers at the production level.

31:44Pagers are used by Hezbollah fighters to avoid Israel's location tracking,

31:49according to the sources.

31:51Lebanese information minister Ziad Macari condemned the explosion

31:55and said that Israel will answer.

31:58As of now, the Israeli military has not yet announced the cause of the incident.

32:02At the same time, America clarified that they have nothing to do with the explosion in Lebanon.

32:07To my knowledge, there's no U.S. involvement in this at all.

32:11Again, it's something that we're monitoring.

32:14In the Philippines, the chance of this happening is small,

32:17according to the Department of Information and Communications Technology.

32:21We are not at war, not like Israel, who's currently at war,

32:26with Hamas, with Hezbollah, with Iran.

32:29The closest thing to this is the cell phones that are used as improvised explosive devices

32:34that were used by some terrorists in the explosion in Mindanao.

32:37Those are not working cell phones,

32:40like the pagers that exploded in Lebanon,

32:43that's why it's not considered as explosive devices.

32:46Even so, we should not be complacent.

32:49When you enter the airports,

32:52we always go through security measures.

32:55If you see luggage that's just lying on the side,

33:00you will call the security officers.

33:03The government is also equipping our tech personnel

33:06with the necessary skill sets to fight any threat

33:10through training and providing the necessary tools.

33:14The problem is that the funds that are available here are too small.

33:18That's why they are trying to find a way.

33:21For GMA Integrated News, Maris Umali, Naktutok, 24 Hours.

33:26Various government agencies have already helped

33:29with the closing of the TPOGO on December 31.

33:35We discussed this with Dano Tinkunku.

33:40It's okay.

33:41All stakeholders should have regular meetings

33:45on the closure of TPOGO.

33:48Especially that there are employees

33:50who have an alien's permit to work here in the Philippines.

33:54We also have immigration issues.

33:57Among the foreign employees,

34:00there are those who were discussed

34:02on how to close TPOGO until December 31.

34:06They have to voluntarily leave.

34:08Or if they will not voluntarily leave,

34:10they will be summarily deported.

34:13Those who will be summarily deported

34:15will be automatically blacklisted.

34:17But the Executive Order is still waiting

34:20to know what is included and not included in the TPOGO ban.

34:24It will be released, but while it is not yet,

34:26the TPOGO employees have already moved and visited the place.

34:30It is being followed by all law enforcement.

34:33And if we're able to track them down, we will deport them.

34:35According to Go Huaping, a.k.a. Alice Go,

34:38who is in charge of TPOGO,

34:40the DOJ is hoping that the PASIG RTC

34:43of the Warrant of Arrest for Qualified Human Trafficking

34:46will be released, which is a non-bailable case.

34:48This is important because the Senate has already announced

34:51a possible final hearing on issues related to Go.

34:54There is a possibility that she will already be released

34:57from the Senate's custody.

34:59The DOJ has no jurisdiction over the courts

35:02to determine the timing of the release

35:05or issue of the Warrant of Arrest.

35:07Of course, it would be in our favor

35:10that she will not be released.

35:12Following the Senate hearing,

35:14the DOJ is planning to hold a pianza.

35:16Who wants a person to be jailed in the PASIG?

35:19You have no conviction.

35:21Meanwhile, here in the facility of the Police Department,

35:26her safety is of prime concern.

35:30Go's lawyers belittle the Justice Department's news

35:33that it is possible that they will return

35:35the notarization of Go's counter affidavit

35:38even if it's not a personal claim.

35:41If you file a case, especially if it's a lawyer

35:46who is doing his job,

35:48you have no evidence, just speculations.

35:51It's hard because we can also file a case in the courts.

35:56According to the NBI,

35:58it appears that Go's signature did not match

36:01the counter affidavit dated August 14

36:04of the notary, Atty. Galicia,

36:06compared to other official documents.

36:08According to NBI Director Jaime Santiago,

36:11Go lied when he said he signed the last page

36:15before he left in July.

36:17Atty. Stephen David assured that

36:19when it comes to the court, Go will speak.

36:22In the court, the prosecution cannot say

36:26that you're lying, that's not true.

36:29They cannot say that I don't believe you,

36:31that you're lying.

36:32That's not allowed.

36:34Meanwhile, Alice Go or her lawyers

36:37did not face the first hearing of the cancellation

36:39of the birth certificate of the former mayor

36:41in Tarlac RTC Branch 111.

36:43The Philippine Statistics Authority

36:45requested it through the Solicitor General

36:48because it was registered as not in accordance

36:50with the law.

36:52They filed their entry of appearance

36:54to Go's lawyers first

36:56and a motion for extension of 30 days

36:58to file their answer to the petition.

37:00For GMA Integrated News,

37:02Dan and Tinku Hongko filed their answer

37:04for 24 hours.

37:05For the price of buying,

37:07some seem to be compromised

37:09with their health.

37:11If it's medicine,

37:12cheaper generic and herbal medicines

37:14are more effective,

37:16according to the Department of Health.

37:18Oscar Oida filed his answer.

37:24In his low-income days,

37:26with his small business,

37:28Ms. Bebian is more fortunate

37:30to be able to earn P500

37:32in a whole day of selling.

37:34She is willing to pay

37:36for her daily expenses.

37:38The most compromised

37:40are the medical expenses.

37:52It's a good thing that she has

37:54generic medicines for her maintenance.

38:01As for Ms. Estrella,

38:03she has long been relying on herbal medicines,

38:05especially when her grandchildren

38:07are sick.

38:13According to the DOH,

38:15generic medicines can be expected

38:17to become traditional

38:19and herbal medicines.

38:21Now established as

38:23Generic Awareness Month,

38:25the DOH and the Philippine Institute

38:27of Traditional and Alternative Healthcare

38:29are hosting the Traditional Care

38:31and Generic Medicine Expo.

38:59Seven out of ten Filipinos

39:01now believe in

39:03generics,

39:05that they are effective

39:07and affordable.

39:13I just want to clarify

39:15that all herbal medicines,

39:17herbal products,

39:19especially the pitak,

39:21are part of

39:23a comprehensive

39:25research.

39:27We have partnered with

39:29distinct universities

39:31and other research facilities

39:33like UP, Ateneo,

39:35and this has passed.

39:37A reminder from the DOH,

39:39when using any product for

39:41healing,

39:43it should always be safe

39:45and should not be tampered with.

39:47For GMA Integrated News,

39:49Oscar Oida,

39:5124 Hours.

39:53The Supreme Court has also

39:55issued a request for funding

39:57for the next year.

39:59This is where new rules

40:01and the use of

40:03Artificial Intelligence

40:05to speed up the roll-out of cases

40:07were established.

40:13Prisoners or victims

40:15are now in the justice system.

40:17This is reduced because

40:19the roll-out of cases is faster

40:21due to the new rules of the courts

40:23and the use of Artificial Intelligence

40:25or AI.

40:27When the Supreme Court heard

40:29the Senate's request for a 2025 budget,

40:31more cases are being disposed

40:33compared to those being filed.

40:35For example,

40:54This is also the rules of the courts

40:56for criminal cases

40:58like drug cases,

41:00where plea bargaining is allowed

41:02so that it can be disposed easily.

41:04AI is being used for research

41:06and draft decisions.

41:24It's already being recorded

41:26and transcribed, Your Honor.

41:28Their next target is to include

41:30local languages like Ilocano

41:32so that it can be translated automatically

41:34and not be typed manually.

41:36But the committee will remind them.

41:38Of course, we won't rely too much on AI

41:40but it can give an option

41:42just to countercheck

41:44also the human side

41:46of the decision

41:48because we might have forgotten something.

41:50There are some decisions

41:52that should not be left to the control of the AI

41:54because the court is not only

41:56a courts of law

41:58but we are also a courts of equity.

42:00There is some humanity involved

42:02in the disposition of cases.

42:04It was also proven

42:06that not everyone can use AI.

42:08In the previous bar exam,

42:10there were some

42:12insinuations

42:14that the AI will do

42:16the correction of the booklets

42:18but that is totally false.

42:20Now, I am the bar chair for 2024.

42:22Indeed,

42:24there were some questions

42:26that were referred to the AI

42:28and I reviewed over it

42:30they are not exactly correct.

42:32So that means

42:34the human mind is still better.

42:36For 2025,

42:38the judiciary is asking for more than P84 billion pesos

42:40including the budget

42:42to continue the online hearings.

42:44For GMA Integrated News,

42:46Mav Gonzalez,

42:48the time is 24 hours.

42:54Cat's Eye meets the Madlang Kapuso

42:56in its showtime today.

42:583,

43:001, 2, 1, 2, 3!

43:06The girls are full of energy

43:08in their visit to the noontime show.

43:10The Madlang Kapuso is also touching.

43:12They are also laughing

43:14in their showtime.

43:16And Cat's Eye is very grateful

43:18for the ever-flowing love and support

43:20of their Tinoy fans.

43:22They also held their Manila Fan Showcase

43:24tonight in Taguig.

43:28Meanwhile, not only productive

43:30but also happy, the Sparkle Caravan

43:32was held in San Sebastian

43:34with the help of Shining Inheritance Stars

43:36who were part of the event.

43:38They are also very grateful for the good reviews

43:40that were received for the show.

43:42Let's talk to Larson Tiago.

43:46The students of San Sebastian College

43:48were energized

43:50for their welcome

43:52to the Sparkle Stars

43:54in the Sparkle Caravan.

43:56The five of them performed

43:58and bonded

44:00with the stars of the

44:02hit Afternoon Prime series

44:06by Kate Valdez,

44:08Michael Sager,

44:12Dave Bornea,

44:16Midzy Josh,

44:20and Sefa Harilio.

44:24When the crowd

44:26is loud, they enjoy it.

44:28For me, I enjoy it more.

44:30And earlier, they were really game.

44:32I felt like I was

44:34on a boat with them.

44:36I feel like

44:38I'm one of the students.

44:40Because we're not that far from the heights.

44:42Kate served

44:44as an inspiration

44:46to the students

44:48who wanted to be a part of Sparkle.

44:50Kate's advice to them was,

44:52don't lose

44:54your authenticity

44:56in yourself.

44:58Just be themselves.

45:00Just enjoy.

45:02Whatever they do,

45:04make sure that they like it

45:06and pursue it.

45:10The Shining Inheritance Stars

45:12are proud of the success

45:14of the series.

45:40You should look forward to it.

45:42I promise, the upcoming scenes

45:44are going to be amazing.

45:48Sorry, let's not talk about this.
