00:00A senior citizen, who was found dead inside a house in Quezon City, was in close proximity to the suspect.
00:06According to the witnesses, their bodies were discovered because of the smell of their neighbors.
00:13The investigation on this case was conducted by Bernadette Reyes, Exclusive.
00:21The smell of the house in St. Francis Village, Novaliches, Quezon City, is said to be coming from a dog.
00:27According to the neighbors, they thought that the smell was coming from a dead animal.
00:32But it turned out that the senior citizen, who was 60 or 70 years old, was found inside the house.
00:39The two were suspected to be dead for a few days before they were discovered last night.
00:44It was very smelly. We thought it was a rat.
00:46So, the first day, I cleaned it. It didn't disappear.
00:49When they opened it, the police, when it came out, it was already smelly.
00:53It was different from a rat, so it wasn't a rat. It was really smelly.
00:56When we received the report around 11 in the evening, I told my colleagues, let's go.
01:02We saw on the screen, on the back of the screen door, there were bloodstains.
01:07According to the Homeowners Association of St. Francis Village, the suspect was last seen on Monday.
01:13But the residents here started to suspect that there was a smelly smell coming from their house.
01:19According to QCPD Station 4, they are still waiting for the autopsy report.
01:23They did not name the suspects until the investigation continued.
01:29We do not rule out that there is a possible foul play because there are two victims.
01:37Although in our course of re-examination, we did not find an external wound,
01:44but there is a possibility that there are indicators of asphyxiation.
01:50There are leads that the investigation is ongoing.
01:55There are persons of interest that the police are talking to.
01:59These are just persons of interest. We have not found the suspect yet.
02:04We did not see any forced entry.
02:07There are people who are looking at us.
02:09According to the victim's nephew, he was asked to think about the motive for the crime,
02:14but he messaged that it has something to do with him.
02:17I just hope that they give up. I want to answer them.
02:20For GMA Integrated News, Bernadette Reyes, 24 hours have passed.
02:2621 hours ago, a house in Las Piñas caught fire early in the morning.
02:31A child was injured while escaping.
02:34Jomer Apresto was found dead.
02:37The residents of a subdivision in Barangay Almanza Uno in Las Piñas City
02:42woke up to a blazing fire at 2 o'clock in the early morning.
02:46While the firefighters were not there yet,
02:48this resident climbed a roof to pour water.
02:52Ten minutes later, the firefighters arrived.
02:5635-year-old Elren Joy did not have anything to save her.
03:00Elren Joy, who is 5 years old, did not have anything to save her.
03:03Her child was burned in their house.
03:07All of us slept.
03:09If the owner of the house did not shout that there was a fire,
03:12we would not wake up.
03:14I hope that we are with the one who was burned inside the house.
03:18While escaping, Elren Joy's 5-year-old child was also injured.
03:22His head was broken and his arm was cut by a tree.
03:26According to the Bureau of Fire Protection,
03:287 houses were set on fire and 7 families were affected.
03:33Most of the houses here are concrete.
03:37But the houses are a bit close to each other.
03:40The roads are narrow and the area is too congested.
03:46The owner of the house that was burned has no idea what happened.
03:52When I left, I was surprised that there was a fire.
03:56When I saw my child running, I put him in the tricycle.
04:02I asked him what happened. I thought there was a fight.
04:05He said, Papa, the house is gone.
04:07It took an hour and a half for the house to be set on fire
04:10before the fire was declared at 3.40 am.
04:13But suddenly, the second floor of one of the houses that was set on fire caught fire again
04:18so they poured water on it.
04:20The part of the transformer broke but it also died.
04:25For now, the residents of the subdivision's covered court are staying.
04:30They are still trying to figure out what caused the fire.
04:34For GMA Integrated News, Jomer Apresto for 24 Hours.
04:40The Multilateral Maritime Cooperative Activity was held today
04:44by the Philippine forces and their allies.
04:47The naval and air force units of Australia, Japan, New Zealand, America, and the Philippines
04:52joined forces in our Exclusive Economic Zone.
04:55The activity was not mentioned where it was held.
04:59According to the AFP, it is part of a shared commitment to the rights of the country
05:03that is included in the UNCLOS or United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.
05:08Today, China held its own drill in the disputed area of the South China Sea.
05:14It was shown that the reconnaissance and early warning exercises were carried out
05:18in the Panatag or Scarborough Shoal
05:20and their Southern Theater Command patrolled the area.
05:26The areas in the north were hit by heavy rain on the last weekend.
05:30There was a flood and a boat was hit by the waves.
05:35From Ago'o, La'aonyo, Jasmine Gabriela Galvan of GMA Regional TV was on the scene.
05:42Jasmine?
05:43Pia, various provinces in Northern Luzon have been alerted
05:47due to the possible effects of Hurricane Julian.
05:49The Philippine Coast Guard has also watched the towns,
05:52especially the provinces where fishermen are not allowed to fish,
05:56such as the province of Cagayanang.
06:02Coast Guard personnel pulled the boat in Bugay, Cagayan,
06:06which was stranded due to the impact of Hurricane Julian.
06:09The passengers were safe.
06:11In the town of Baliesteros,
06:13some students were not safe from the flood due to the water that entered the school.
06:17The school principal said that they are prepared for the effects of the storm.
06:24Other schools in the town of Apari were also monitored,
06:27especially due to the heavy rain.
06:29So that the wind will not blow, the facilities were repaired.
06:33The towns of Santa Ana, Gonzaga, Santa Teresita, Bagao and Gataran were also alerted.
06:40Since yesterday, the No Sailing, No Fishing and No Swimming policy was implemented.
06:46It will be dark in the province of Cagayan,
06:49so the public was continuously prepared by the PDRRMO.
07:03In the town of Santa Ana, there are no more fishermen.
07:07The Philippine Coast Guard is continuously monitoring the fishermen.
07:16The PDRRMO recommended to the LGUs to carry out pre-emptive evacuation
07:21to the residents living in the foot of the mountains.
07:28Pia, here in the province of La Union,
07:30the weather was gloomy yesterday.
07:32Other LGUs were monitoring the major river systems.
07:36Pia?
07:37Jasmine, I just want to clarify if there are any residents who have been evacuated in Cagayan.
07:45Pia, according to our information from the PDRRMO Cagayan,
07:49as of now, there are no residents who have been evacuated
07:52because yesterday, the weather was gloomy.
07:56So far, there was no rain.
07:57But all evacuation centers are prepared in case there is someone who needs to be evacuated tonight.
08:04But Jasmine, how is the weather in Cagayan River?
08:07Is there a possibility of flooding because this could be a reason for flooding?
08:16Actually, Pia, according to the PDRRMO,
08:18as of 5 p.m., Cagayan River is below normal level,
08:22so our residents should not worry about the possibility of flooding.
08:28But we should not be complacent.
08:30For example, if there is heavy rainfall,
08:34which is a common experience in the province of Cagayan,
08:38it is possible for the river level to rise quickly
08:43and of course, there is a risk of flooding.
08:45So it is better to be alert for now, Pia.
08:49Alright, Jasmine.
08:50Be careful.
08:51We can see behind you that the wind is quite strong.
08:53Be careful there.
08:54Thank you very much, Jasmine, Gabriel, and Galvan.
08:56This is GMA Regional TV.
08:59Meanwhile, on Tuesday,
09:00the issuance of the Certificate of Candidacy in COMELEC began for those who wanted to run.
09:05But there are still issues that COMELEC needs to resolve.
09:08Among them, the vote of the members of EMBO Barangay
09:11and the possibility of running again,
09:14was dismissed by Mayor Alice Guo.
09:16Bona Kino was there.
09:21On October 1,
09:22the issuance of the Certificate of Candidacy or COC
09:26for the national and local elections began on May 12, 2025.
09:3018,280 seats will be contested across the country.
09:34Those who want to run,
09:36sometimes there are still issues.
09:39Is this considered premature campaigning?
09:41COMELEC Chairman George Erwin Garcia said,
09:44not yet.
09:45Let's hope for that
09:47because each has its own strategy,
09:49each has its own style
09:50in filing for candidacy.
09:51As far as election law or election laws are concerned,
09:55there are still no issues
09:57because there are still no candidates.
10:00COMELEC will also urge the COCs
10:03to blame the so-called troublemakers
10:06or nuisance candidates.
10:08The Commission promised that it will resolve these cases
10:11until November 30.
10:13Whether a petitioner or a candidate is final or we are final,
10:19we will resolve it at the inbound level
10:21so that the troublemakers
10:23and nuisance candidates will not be able to run.
10:26COMELEC will accept the COCs
10:28of anyone who will file from October 1 to October 8,
10:318 a.m. to 5 p.m.
10:33What if Dismissed Bamban Mayor Alice Guo,
10:37whose lawyer said in a text message
10:39on GMA Integrated News,
10:41will be blamed by the COC?
10:43Even if she's the one in jail now,
10:46we will accept her Certificate of Candidacy.
10:49If her name will be included in the ballot,
10:51or if she will be allowed to run, that's another story.
10:53But there is another problem that COMELEC needs to resolve
10:56when it comes to the voting of residents
10:58of 10 enlisted men's barrios,
11:01or EMBO barangays,
11:02that were moved to Taguig City.
11:04Because they will not be able to vote for the congressman
11:07because there is no law that creates another district of Taguig.
11:12As long as we don't receive any action from Congress,
11:15we can't do anything.
11:16We don't have the power to create a district.
11:18As of now, there are more than 300,000 registered voters
11:21of 10 EMBO barangays,
11:23which is enough to form a legislative district.
11:27They will wait for the Joint Concurrent Resolution
11:30of the Congress on this matter.
11:32It should also be clear where the candidates
11:35from 10 barangays will be required to file their COCs.
11:39COMELEC is arguing that the voters cannot be disenfranchised.
11:44For GMA Integrated News,
11:46Von Aquino reporting for 24 Hours.
11:50A self-confessed Chinese spy
11:53tried to dismiss Mayor Alice Guo,
11:55who is also an SPR of China,
11:57based on the documentary released
11:59by the House Quadcom last night.
12:01But Guo's allegation was true.
12:04Jonathan Andal is reporting.
12:09Definitely, I'm not a spy.
12:11Okay.
12:12Just relax.
12:14Why are you angry?
12:16Irritable Alice Guo was witnessed last night
12:19by the House Quadcommittee.
12:21She was being watched while listening to a documentary
12:24by the international news organization Al Jazeera,
12:27where a self-confessed Chinese spy,
12:30Xie Zijiang,
12:32claimed that Guo is also a spy.
12:35But Guo said...
12:36I don't know him.
12:38And I hope, Your Honor, Mr. Chair,
12:40I can get the details.
12:42I want to make a claim.
12:44I don't know them.
12:45We can't make a claim, Ms. Alice,
12:47because he's in jail in Thailand.
12:50In the documentary,
12:51Xie Zijiang showed some hidden files
12:54including the list of state secret agents.
12:58One of them is Guo Huaping,
13:01who has a picture of the dismissed mayor.
13:04Xie Zijiang also said that
13:06he asked Guo for campaign funds
13:08when the mayor of Bambang ran away.
13:10Your Honor, it's unfair for me.
13:12I don't know him.
13:13And I never asked for campaign funds entirely.
13:17I'm not a spy.
13:18I'm not in the picture.
13:20And Your Honor,
13:21I'm not the one he's talking about.
13:23I love the Philippines.
13:24I'm Filipino.
13:25I'm not a spy.
13:27I love the Philippines.
13:28I'm Filipino.
13:29I'm not a spy.
13:31In Guo Huaping's document,
13:33his mother, Lin Wenye, is now pregnant.
13:37Her address is in Fujian Province, China,
13:40where a researcher from Al Jazeera went.
13:43They discovered a local office
13:46of the Chinese Communist Party.
13:48Residents there said
13:50they knew Guo,
13:51Lin Wenye's son,
13:52who left their place in 2002.
13:55According to the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission,
13:58they will confirm to their counterparts abroad
14:01the allegation that Guo is a Chinese spy.
14:04As for the Chinese Embassy,
14:06we are still trying to get a statement.
14:08For GMA Integrated News,
14:10Jonathan Andal,
14:11for 24 Hours.
14:14Tropical Storm Julian is about to erupt
14:17as the Philippine Sea moves west-northwest.

14:37and northern portion of Aurora.
14:40According to the forecast,
14:41the storm will continue to grow
14:43and it is possible for it to rise
14:44in the typhoon category on Monday.
14:46They do not rule out the possibility
14:48of it becoming a super typhoon.
14:50According to the rainfall forecast
14:52in Metro Weather,
14:53it is possible to experience
14:54moderate to torrential rains

15:08After 45 years,
15:10a man in Japan
15:12who has been in the death row
15:14for the longest time,
15:16was released.
15:17This is the 88-year-old man
15:19who was released
15:21by the Shizuoka District Court.
15:23The man is a former boxer
15:25who was accused of killing
15:26his former boss and his family
15:28before their house was burned down.
15:30He was the first to confess the crimes
15:32but he was also avenged
15:33and was found innocent.
15:35He was jailed in 1966
15:37and sentenced to death in 1968.
15:40But in 2014,
15:41there was a retrial
15:42because of the dubious evidence
15:44used against him.
15:46His lawyers proved
15:47that the blood on the clothes
15:49was not his.
