00:00Live from the GMA Network Center,
00:0420 years have passed in 24 hours.
00:11Good evening, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
00:15Not only did they face, greet, and shake hands,
00:19the well-known oppositionist in politics,
00:22President Bongbong Marcos and former Vice President Lenny Robredo.
00:26It happened in Sorsogon at the inauguration of the most popular sports venue in the Bicol Region,
00:32a few months before the election of 2025.
00:35Senate President Chis Escudero, who is at the back of the two,
00:40sees this as the first step in healing the wounds.
00:43And no matter what the two are going through.
00:45And from Sorsogon, Jonathan Angar is live.
00:50Jonathan.
00:52Mel, Emil, Vicky, President Bongbong Marcos and former Vice President Lenny Robredo
00:59met quickly here in Sorsogon City.
01:02But this is symbolic, said Sorsogonan, Senate President Chis Escudero.
01:07Because the meeting happened here inside Sorsogon Sports Arena,
01:11where sportsmanship is practiced.
01:14Sportsmanship.
01:19They shook hands, smiled, and greeted.
01:25This is how quickly the well-known oppositionist in politics,
01:29President Bongbong Marcos and former Vice President Lenny Robredo,
01:33met again here in Sorsogon City.
01:35A rare opportunity for Marcos and Robredo to meet again in public.
01:39Marcos and Robredo,
01:40who became close in becoming Vice President during the 2016 election.
01:45Robredo defeated Marcos with a score of 263,473 votes.
01:51Marcos appealed this to the Supreme Court,
01:53which is the Presidential Electoral Tribunal,
01:55but it did not approve it.
01:57The two faced each other again in the 2022 Presidential Elections,
02:01where Marcos beat Robredo, who has a big vote advantage.
02:06Robredo received the result.
02:09Senate President Chis Escudero
02:11was the reason for the meeting between Marcos and Robredo.
02:14Escudero invited Robredo to join the President
02:18when he went to Bicol for the inauguration of Sorsogon Sports Arena,
02:22which is now said to be the biggest sports venue in the Bicol region
02:26with 12,000 seating capacity.
02:28It's symbolic because in the sports arena,
02:32we are together, an odd trio, right?
02:35I think it was a good lesson for the politicians.
02:42In the career of a politician,
02:45we should remember to be a sportsman,
02:47to follow the rules and regulations,
02:49and to be open to who will win the medal,
02:54or in this case, the election.
02:56Former Senator Bam Aquino was also present at the meeting.
03:00He is the nephew of former Senator Ninoy Aquino,
03:03who was also against the policies of the Marcos.
03:05Bam became Robredo's campaign manager during the 2022 election.
03:09Escudero believes that this is the beginning of healing
03:13of any wounds between Robredo and Marcos.
03:17I think this is the first step towards healing of any wounds,
03:23any incomprehension,
03:25because remember,
03:27any debate or difference of opinion
03:30is political, not personal.
03:32It's easier to heal than personal.
03:37In the original plan,
03:39Marcos and Robredo will sit on a chair in Entablado.
03:43But after Robredo and Marcos met,
03:45they left immediately because they have an appointment in Naga.
03:48You know VP Lenny, he doesn't want to make a scene,
03:51so I asked him what he can do.
03:54In fact, he just waited for President Marcos to arrive
03:58before he went back to Naga.
04:00We tried to convince Robredo,
04:02but he refused.
04:03But his spokesman said,
04:05VP Lenny has been very, very clear
04:07on his position
04:09that any healing, any reconciliation
04:13must be based on justice and principles.
04:16I think his position on that matter hasn't changed yet.
04:21The President also did not mention
04:22in his speech what Robredo will see.
04:24But he minimized the importance of unity.
04:29From the beginning, unity is what I long for
04:33for a more peaceful and effective government.
04:37We may have differences in beliefs and opinions,
04:41but I know that we are united in our desire
04:46for a higher standard of living for every Filipino.
04:53Before Robredo and Marcos met,
04:55Vice President Sara Duterte also visited Robredo
04:59at his house in Naga.
05:01After that, he was greeted
05:03by allies of President Marcos,
05:05DILG Secretary Benor Abalos
05:07and Senator Bong Revilla.
05:09Robredo said that
05:10these visits are not related to politics
05:13because everyone is welcome
05:15to visit the feast of the Virgin of Peña Francia.
05:19Vicky, Robredo, Marcos, and Escudero
05:22have already left Sorsogon.
05:24The President told them
05:26that he hopes that the sports arena
05:29here in Sorsogon will attract more Filipino Olympians.
05:33Vicky?
05:34Thank you very much, Jonathan Andal.
05:38The Committee of the House of Representatives
05:40has ordered the six officials
05:42of the Office of the Vice President
05:44to pay P16 million
05:47for the rent of 34 safe houses
05:51within 11 days.
05:54Ian Cruz was live.
05:56Ian?
06:00Yes, ma'am.
06:01In the continuation of the hearing
06:03of the House Committee on Good Government,
06:05I've been informed that
06:07the House Committee on Good Government
06:09has decided
06:11that those responsible
06:13for the rent of safe houses
06:15of the Office of the Vice President
06:17will be punished
06:19with P1 million
06:21from the confidential funds.
06:27In the hearing
06:28of the House Committee on Good Government earlier,
06:30the Office of the Vice President
06:32paid P16 million
06:34for the use of 34 safe houses
06:36within 11 days in 2022.
06:39Each safe house was paid
06:41from P250,000
06:43to P500,000
06:45and two safe houses
06:47were paid P1 million
06:49as rent for only 11 days.
06:51The Commission on Audit
06:53asked about this.
06:55For 11 days,
06:57the P500,000
06:59for one safe house?
07:01Yes, Mr. Chairman.
07:02Now, if I ask you,
07:04how much would that be per day
07:06for one safe house?
07:08Mr. Chair,
07:10it would amount
07:12to P45,000
07:14something.
07:16P45,454.55
07:18per day.
07:20What kind of safe house
07:22is this with P45,000
07:24per day?
07:26Meanwhile,
07:28other beautiful places
07:30are even cheaper
07:32than this one
07:34with P45,000.
07:36Could you give us
07:38an idea of that?
07:40Mr. Chair,
07:42we do not have information
07:44on the safe houses.
07:46The OVP got the funds
07:48from these confidential funds.
07:50A part of the controversial
07:52P125 million
07:54was spent by Vice President Saruterte
07:56within 11 days.
07:58Only acknowledgement receipts
08:00were submitted by the OVP
08:02to the Commission on Audit
08:04on how the funds were used.
08:06How much is P1 million
08:08per day in 11 days?
08:14How much is P1 million
08:16in 11 days?
08:22Mr. Chair,
08:24P90,000.
08:26P90,000 a day?
08:28Yes, Mr. Chair.
08:30As compared to the luxury resort?
08:34With complete amenities?
08:38Much worse
08:40compared to 4 days?
08:42P1 million?
08:44How much
08:46is that in 4 days?
08:48P250,000.
08:50P250,000 per day?
08:54Are you not wondering
08:56why it is so expensive?
08:58Are you not wondering?
09:00We do not have information
09:02on how big the building is.
09:04If you will look at the
09:06acknowledgement receipts,
09:08some of them do not include
09:10the name of the receiver of the payment.
09:12Some of them do not include the name
09:14and some are not signed.
09:16According to the COA,
09:18Attorney Gloria Camora,
09:20they do not have other details
09:22about these safe houses.
09:24What is stated in the OVP
09:26accomplishment report
09:28is that the safe houses
09:30are safe and confidence-building.
09:32The COA relies
09:34only on the
09:36documentary evidence of payment.
09:38Mainly.
09:40Correct?
09:42Yes, Mr. Chair.
09:44And the documentary evidence of payment,
09:46whether it is a lie, a truth,
09:48reasonable or unreasonable,
09:50you do not care?
09:56That is what you're trying to tell us.
10:00It is since it is just compliance, sir.
10:04In other words,
10:06it is like you're telling me
10:08that your job is just ministerial.
10:10The committee also submitted
10:12the six OVP officials
10:14who were not present at the hearing.
10:16They also asked the Bureau of Immigration
10:18to include them in the lookout bulletin.
10:20We are listening to the statement
10:22of VP Sara and the Office of the Vice President
10:24regarding this.
10:26In the position paper submitted by the OVP
10:28the officials said
10:30they did not attend the hearing
10:32because it did not follow
10:34in aid of legislation.
10:36The data asked
10:38can be verified
10:40through the reports of the COA.
10:44Mel, according to the chairman
10:46of the committee,
10:48Congressman Jowel Chua,
10:50they will be attending
10:52the next hearing
10:54where Vice President Sara Duterte
10:56will be attending.
10:58That is just one question.
11:00It appears in the hearing
11:02that the COA just received
11:04the liquidation report
11:06even though it was just an AR,
11:08an Acknowledgement Receipt,
11:10submitted by the Office of the Vice President.
11:12And there are still a few here
11:14who do not have names
11:16and only have initials or signatures.
11:18If they already agreed to that,
11:20how will they be able to verify
11:22the use of these confidential funds?
11:24A congressman said
11:26that the COA
11:28is the guardian of the country's funds.
11:30Ian?
11:34Yes, Mel.
11:36The liquidation of confidential funds
11:38was based on the Joint Circular
11:40of 2015.
11:42It was signed by the COA, DBM, DILG,
11:44DND, and other agencies
11:46of the government.
11:48If you mentioned the Acknowledgement Receipt,
11:50Liquidation Report, and Accomplishment Report,
11:52it is already in place.
11:54That is why the Justice Department
11:56and the high-ranking COA
11:58who were here earlier
12:00requested to revisit
12:02the Joint Circular
12:04so that they can also
12:06use the confidential and intelligence funds.
12:08Thank you very much, Ian Cruz.
12:12Three minors and seven others
12:14were arrested in Quezon
12:16and were being bullied online.
12:18Five were arrested
12:20and most of them were the children
12:22of the victims.
12:24Jun Veneracion was arrested.
12:29Members of the PNP
12:31Anti-Cybercrime Group
12:33raided the online prostitution den
12:35in Tayabas and Lucena in Quezon.
12:45Some were found
12:47in front of the cameras
12:49of the beautiful rooms.
12:53Five suspects were arrested.
12:55Ten victims were rescued
12:57including three minors.
12:59Most of the suspects and victims
13:01were the children of the PNP ACG.
13:08This online prostitution den
13:10is happening because
13:12there are victims
13:14who are being forced
13:16to do sexual activities online.
13:18They are being forced
13:20to go to a website
13:22where most of their customers
13:24are foreigners.
13:26Last year,
13:28the two prostitution dens
13:30started operating.
13:32The PNP ACG received a tip
13:34about the illegal activity
13:36so the investigation was conducted.
13:38The operation was launched
13:40after obtaining a search warrant
13:42from the court.
13:44The PNP ACG's investigation
13:46showed that the local credit card
13:48was being used.
13:50The payment is in dollars.
13:52The payment is based on
13:54the extent of the sexual activity
13:56of the victim
13:58and the price
14:00that will be paid.
14:02The suspects filed a complaint
14:04against the Anti-Trafficking
14:06Impersons Act
14:08under the Cybercrime Prevention Act.
14:10The PNP ACG said
14:12that the suspects' lawyers
14:14are being investigated
14:16by the media.
14:18For GMA Integrated News,
14:20June Veneration is scheduled for 24 hours.
14:22The Senate President
14:24believes that it is not a good idea
14:26if Senator Bato de la Rosa
14:28who is now in charge
14:30of the Duterte Drug War
14:32will lead the Senate's investigation.
14:34If a Senator can do it,
14:36the entire Senate will be involved
14:38in the investigation.
14:40Mav Gonzalez is scheduled.
14:44Senator Ronald Bato de la Rosa
14:46plans to lead an investigation
14:48on the war on drugs
14:50of the Duterte administration
14:52that was initially led by some families
14:54of victims of extrajudicial killings
14:56even though they are law-abiding.
14:58Now, even though Senate President
15:00Chief Escudero said
15:02that it is not a good idea
15:04that he brought to the Senator.
15:06I told him that whatever investigation
15:08that he wants to do
15:10about himself and Senator Go
15:12it would be better
15:14if they are not the leaders
15:16of that committee
15:18so that there is no allegation
15:20that this is personal
15:22and not impartial and not fair.
15:24Bato was the PNP chief
15:26of former President Duterte
15:28when the war on drugs
15:30was first implemented.
15:32In the official list of the government,
15:34more than 6,000 people were killed
15:36in anti-drug operations
15:38at that time.
15:40The PNP is giving money
15:42to the police
15:44depending on the size
15:46of the drug suspect.
15:48Senator Go,
15:50Special Assistant to the President
15:52is being held responsible
15:54because he gave money
15:56to the person who issued
15:58the funds for the police.
16:00He is also being reported
16:02if there is a drug suspect.
16:04Both Go and La Rosa
16:06are denying the money
16:08to the PNP.
16:10Senator Go,
16:12Special Assistant to the President
16:14is being held responsible
16:16because he gave money
16:18to the person who issued
16:20the funds for the police.
16:22He is also being reported
16:24if there is a drug suspect.
16:26Both Go and La Rosa
16:28are denying the money
16:30to the President.
16:32He is also being reported
16:34if there is a drug suspect.
16:36We will see each other
16:38this weekend when I return.
16:40We are still collecting the statement
16:42of La Rosa about this.
16:44For GMA Integrated News,
16:46Mav Gonzales, 24 Hours.
16:48The financial leader
16:50of the group Rentangay
16:52is also in court
16:54and a police officer is being called.
16:56The so-called suspect
16:58who committed a crime
17:00because he was drugged
17:02is almost here.
17:06The strong volume of the TV
17:08from the room above
17:10is a signal
17:12for the operatives
17:14to return to this house
17:18when the door is opened.
17:32They reached the target
17:34who was lying on the bed
17:36when the court issued
17:38four warrants of arrest
17:40for the Karnafing and Estafa cases.
17:44He is being taught
17:46by the PNP Highway Patrol Group
17:48Task Force Limbas
17:50who is one of the members
17:52of the Rentangay criminal gang
17:54that is behind the scenes
17:56of more than 100 missing cars.
17:58He is a financier
18:00and he is the contact
18:02of the teachers
18:04and OFWs
18:06who are easily deceived
18:08to loan a car
18:10or to get a car
18:12through financing.
18:14One of the 42-year-old teachers
18:16from Mindoro, Sylvia,
18:18is not a real name
18:20for the cars of the suspect.
18:22Her car is a Bradurao.
18:24For three days,
18:26I was only there in Around Oriental, Mindoro.
18:28He offered me
18:30P2,000 a day
18:32so P6,000.
18:34At that time, my son was going to tuition.
18:36So I needed money.
18:40But the car that was rented
18:42has no return.
18:44We should be aware.
18:46It is not good to trust
18:48our fellowmen.
18:50According to the HBG,
18:52the suspect is connected
18:54to a police lieutenant colonel
18:56and two women who were arrested by the HBG
18:58for having integrated news.
19:00If the price of the car
19:02does not match the market value,
19:04it is a red flag.
19:06And don't forget to consult
19:08with government agencies.
19:10The suspect admitted
19:12to his crime.
19:14I was the one who got the car.
19:16I was the one who talked directly
19:18to the car owners.
19:20Then I was asked
19:22who has the highest offer.
19:24I gave it to them.
19:26I got their consent.
19:30But I was in need
19:32of money.
19:34I was looking for
19:36an easy way to earn money.
19:38So I asked
19:40for a commission
19:42of P50,000.
19:44If I can get
19:46P30,000,
19:48I am ready to help
19:50the police
19:52so they can recover.
19:54For the GMA Integrated News,
19:56Emil Sumangil,
19:58Nakatutok 24 Horas.
20:00The LTFRB has once again
20:02given the chance
20:04to the operators and drivers
20:06to consolidate
20:08until November 29.
20:10The assistance is still included.
20:12But the demands
20:14of the tutors in the program are different.
20:16Chino Gaston is on duty.
20:20Almost six months
20:22after the deadline
20:24to consolidate under the
20:26PUV Modernization Program of the government,
20:28the LTFRB reopened it.
20:30On April 30,
20:32the deadline passed but
20:34some senators in the LTFRB
20:36talked to the tutors
20:38who were not included.
20:40The new extension period is October 15 to November 29.
20:42But they can join
20:44and the new cooperatives
20:46will not form
20:48the PUV operators and drivers.
20:50The LTFRB said that
20:52the new cooperatives
20:54will not form
20:56the PUV operators and drivers.
20:58To avoid disruption,
21:00you can only join
21:02existing routes.
21:04You cannot form
21:06a cooperative
21:08that will be an enemy
21:10of the existing cooperative.
21:12Groups like Pasang Mazda
21:14that first joined
21:16the consolidation program
21:18will join the new cooperatives.
21:20The LTFRB also announced
21:22that the applicants
21:24will receive a one-time fuel subsidy
21:26of P10,000 pesos
21:28for each unit of the
21:30Modern Jeepney, P7,000 pesos
21:32for the Traditional Jeep,
21:34P6,000 pesos for the TNVS,
21:36P1,500 pesos for the Tricycle,
21:38and P1,000 pesos for the Food Delivery Drivers.
21:40It's a big thing, sir.
21:42It's an expensive product.
21:44As long as there's help, it's okay.
21:46According to the DOTR,
21:48until the end of April,
21:5083% of the PUVs in the country
21:52were consolidated
21:54under the PUV Modernization Program.
21:56But the group of Pistons
21:58that has long been opposed to consolidation
22:00will not join.
22:02They also do not see a solution
22:04to the one-time subsidy
22:06for the price increase
22:08of fuel.
22:10What we need is not an extension.
22:12What we need is to allow us
22:14to renew our franchise
22:16and register
22:18our public transport
22:20so that we can continue
22:22to provide services.
22:24For GMA Integrated News,
22:26Shino Gaston, Akatuto, 24 Hours.
22:32Good evening, Kapuso.
22:34Here are my good friends
22:36to update you on the Sherbiz Happenings.
22:40It's an early Christmas gift for the Army
22:42because the military enlistment
22:44of BTS Superstar J-Hope is over.
22:46After 18 months of duty,
22:48J-Hope is all smiles at the military base
22:50where he was welcomed by the Army
22:52and is now a co-member of Jin.
22:54In his speech,
22:56J-Hope said that he's happy to be back.
23:01Smells like an upcoming collab
23:03from Bruno Mars and Blackpink Rose.
23:05In Bruno's IG post,
23:07the two singers were teasing
23:09until the comment section.
23:11For now, there's no confirmation
23:13on the possible project.
23:17Nick Jonas quickly ran away
23:19from the stage
23:21after he was hit by a laser.
23:23It happened in the middle
23:25of the Jonas Brothers concert
23:27in the Czech Republic.
23:29Security immediately found
23:31the illegal laser pointer.
23:33We'll come back to it in a minute.
