00:00This is the first time I've seen this.
00:07This is the first time I've seen this.
00:13It's a new day.
00:14Some cemeteries are still flooded.
00:16In Panacan Public Cemetery in Davao City,
00:19the majority of the people cannot be seen because of the flood.
00:22That's why some of the people who visit the cemeteries
00:24are lighting candles and waving flowers.
00:28On a cruise near the entrance of the cemetery,
00:31submersible pumps requested by Davao City Economic Enterprise
00:36and LGU to pump the water from the cemetery.
00:39Aside from Davao City,
00:40there's also water inside the Municipal Cemetery in Aldan, Pangasinan
00:44because of the recent floods.
00:46Until now, some residents are still cleaning the place.
00:49Some people have already visited the places
00:52so that the flood won't reach the people in the area.
00:59More than P3 million pesos were lost
01:02by the flood in almost 40,000 schools across the country.
01:07In the initial data of the Department of Education,
01:102,700 classrooms were totally damaged
01:13and more than 1,300 were partially damaged.
01:16Almost 40,000 schools suspended face-to-face classes
01:20that affected almost 20 million students
01:24and more than 700,000 teachers and staff.
01:27To date, more than 1,000 schools across the country
01:29are being used as evacuation centers for the affected residents.
01:3411 students and 1 staff were evacuated in the aftermath of the flood
01:39from Batangas and Himamaylan in Negros Occidental.
01:43DepEDA said that 2.7 billion pesos were needed
01:47to fix the damaged classrooms
01:50and 680 million pesos for major repairs.
01:55In the first meeting of former President Rodrigo Duterte
01:58in the Senate hearing on the war on drugs of his administration,
02:02he denied that he did not order the police to kill drug addicts.
02:07However, he admitted his responsibility in the campaign against drugs.
02:12The former president also confirmed that he had a death squad.
02:15First news, Rafi Tima.
02:20I can make the confession now.
02:23If you want.
02:24I have a death squad.
02:28But not the police.
02:32They are also the gangsters.
02:37I ordered one gangster.
02:39Kill him because if you don't kill him, I will kill you now.
02:44This is the confession of former President Rodrigo Duterte
02:47about his death squad when he faced the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee
02:50investigating his war on drugs.
02:53You mentioned that you have your own hit squad.
02:57Is that what you're trying to tell us?
03:00So we won't be confused.
03:02Can we be very clear?
03:04It's not a death squad.
03:06This is a direct speech.
03:10It's not a death squad.
03:12As long as the people know that I'm there
03:17and you commit a heinous crime
03:21and no one can go to the aggravated,
03:28that's me.
03:29What is the structure of his death squad?
03:32Structure against crime and criminals.
03:36And who are those seven?
03:38They all look dead, ma'am.
03:40It's okay, sir. What are their names?
03:43I cannot remember the name.
03:45I am 73 years old.
03:48I don't know why I'm here.
03:51Do those seven people have rewards when they die?
03:55No, ma'am.
03:56Rich people.
03:57There are a lot of rich people in Davao.
04:00What is the connection of the rich people in Davao to the members of the death squad?
04:04They want to die.
04:06Because they want their city to be safe.
04:08They are giving the rich people rewards to the death squad?
04:13Duterte is arrogant.
04:14As president, he has no order to the police to kill drug addicts.
04:18Call of duty of the president.
04:22That's me.
04:24Because I was the president at the time.
04:27And I didn't just call, Mr. Senator.
04:34I warned all Filipinos.
04:40If you are addicted to drugs,
04:43let it go. Drop it.
04:46Because we will really have problems.
04:50There were murders.
04:52But it was not state-sponsored killing.
04:59But Duterte said,
05:00he asked the police to arrest the criminals who fought
05:04while teaching the former police generals who came as his death squad.
05:09All of them on my right side
05:14were arrested by the chief of police,
05:19the police director.
05:23All of them were commanders of the death squad.
05:27Senator de la Rosa,
05:31she was also a death squad.
05:34Because they were police directors
05:38handling the controlling crimes in the city.
05:46So when you say death squad,
05:50it's a very loose term.
05:53I mind very much me being associated with the DDS
05:57because during that time when I was the city director,
06:01it was really a problem for us,
06:03especially the unsolved killings.
06:06I think he's just joking, sir.
06:08He's not saying that you killed him.
06:11It's just a matter of taking things on your hand.
06:15We know how President Duterte tells stories.
06:19When he said that Bato de la Rosa is a death squad,
06:25I was 100% sure that he was joking.
06:30In fact, he said afterwards that the police were not involved.
06:35You said that you encouraged the PNP
06:39to encourage the suspect to fight
06:43so that he can be killed, so that he can say, fight.
06:46Correct.
06:47Correct.
06:48To minimize.
06:49Correct. Yes.
06:51If I go back, sir, I will do it again.
06:55Double.
06:57Senator Laila Delima was also in front of Duterte during the hearing.
07:01There was only one seat between the two.
07:03In front of Delima and the relatives of those who died under the Duterte drug war,
07:07Duterte said that he will not apologize,
07:10even though he promises responsibility for the campaign.
07:13Do not question my policies
07:17because I offer no apologies, no excuses.
07:24I did what I had to do.
07:28And whether you believe it or not,
07:32I did it for my country,
07:37for all of its successes and shortcomings.
07:42I, and I alone,
07:47take full legal responsibility.
07:52I will answer.
07:55And I will be jailed.
07:58He was inducing, encouraging the killings.
08:09And it cannot just be purely rhetoric.
08:14Because he followed what he said.
08:19He followed what he said that those should be killed.
08:25Whether they fight or not,
08:27we will not be able to answer him after all these years.
08:31And these killings had started when he was still a mayor.
08:37I think that's too much to say that everyone fought.
08:42We don't even have the death penalty.
08:45There is no honor in punishment like tokhang.
08:49It should not be an honor to be called the punisher
08:53when thousands of innocent people, including babies,
08:57have died in your name.
08:59The war on drugs will never be raised by the Filipinos.
09:06Some of the children of those killed in the drug war are also in custody,
09:09including Kian De Los Santos,
09:11a 17-year-old student who was shot and killed by the police in Caloocan
09:15because he fought back in 2017.
09:18It was proven that he did not have a gun and did not fight the police.
09:22My brother, the President, was dismayed by what happened.
09:27We have not yet obtained justice in its entirety.
09:33We won in the RTC.
09:35There was a gawad that was damaged.
09:37We have not yet obtained it.
09:39The discussion was heated by the direct question of the former President
09:42if he accepts the full responsibility for the death of Kian
09:45and several others who were killed in the war on drugs.
09:48The police took full responsibility for that.
09:51Yes, and what about the result of the police
09:53that thousands of people were killed, including Kian De Los Santos?
09:57Do you also take full responsibility for that, Mr. Chair?
10:01No.
10:02How about Carl Anasunino?
10:05Before you ramble on those many things.
10:08No, no, no. I'm not rambling, Mr. Chair.
10:10My questions are very specific.
10:12No, the law is specific. Guilt is personal.
10:17Ask the lawyer first.
10:18It's okay. I can ask the lawyer.
10:21Ask him first before we proceed.
10:24No, no, no. I have prepared these questions with my legislative staff.
10:28Guilt is personal.
10:29Yes, it's very personal.
10:31You can't pass this to others.
10:33No, no, no. This is not passing.
10:35Blue Ribbon is investigating the war on drugs
10:38and the result of the extrajudicial killings there.
10:41Now, let me ask you about Carl Anthony Nunez.
10:44Do you take responsibility for his death?
10:47You didn't get the policy of the President.
10:51I got it. I'm also a policymaker.
10:53I was talking about the policy.
10:55I take full responsibility for what I said about the war on drugs.
11:01You said, sir, you can hold me responsible for any death.
11:06Yes, sir. You spoke about specific crimes.
11:10If I say I will take full responsibility,
11:14when we go to court, they won't accept it.
11:19Well, Mr. Chair, and if the resource person could keep his volume and pitch to a normal level.
11:26Mr. Chair, you are pinned down by your own statements of October.
11:33No, no, no, Mr. Chair.
11:35I'm not trying to pin you down on air.
11:39Mr. Chair, do not pin me down on semantics.
11:43Retired Col. Ruyina Garma, who has a good reward system for the police,
11:48also admitted that the drug war was carried out.
11:50Duterte said,
11:51I will answer this.
11:53Why should I pay them? That's their job.
11:57The former police chief, Col. Hector Grijaldo, also agreed to the hearing.
12:01He said, he was ordered by the House Squad Committee to confirm the so-called reward system.
12:06When Dan Fernandez put the paper he was holding on the table and told me,
12:11this is what you will say in this statement,
12:15this is the supplemental attire of Col. Garma.
12:20Tell them you know the reward system.
12:24Just confirm it.
12:27It's like they want to lie to me, Your Honor.
12:31Congressman Dan Fernandez and Benny Abante could deny this.
12:35It was called and falsified by Fernandez, the statement of Grijaldo.
12:39According to Fernandez, Grijaldo was called because according to Garma,
12:43he can support his statement about the reward system.
12:46But Grijaldo did not insist on saying that he doesn't know about this.
12:50The statements against him will be discredited by the committee.
12:54Abante said that he was not forced to sign any affidavit in exchange for the possibility of promotion.
13:00In the Senate hearing, Ermina Espino, a.k.a. Mooking, also denied Garma's allegation
13:06that when Espino was the Assistant Secretary of the Presidential Management Staff,
13:09he was the one issuing the funds for the payment.
13:12Some former PNP chiefs in the Duterte administration were also denied,
13:16including Senator Bato de la Rosa, who held a briefing between them
13:20and former Colonel Edelberto Leonardo about the drug situation of the country
13:24before they became the chief of police.
13:26This is the first news. Rafi Tima for GMA Integrated News.
13:32The cost of the Christine earthquake in Agricultura in Dagupan City reached P35 million pesos.
13:38More than 30 barangays were affected.
13:41This is the first live news of Claire Lacanilau-Dunca of GMA Regional TV.
13:47Claire.
13:51Igan, because of the severe effect of the Christine earthquake,
13:54Dagupan City is now in a state of calamity.
14:02Dagupan City is now in a state of calamity because of the effect of the Christine earthquake.
14:07According to the CDRRMO,
14:0921 barangays were affected by the storm surge,
14:13while 10 barangays were affected by the rain and high tide.
14:17More than 660 families, or more than 2,020 individuals, were evacuated to evacuation centers.
14:24Our agriculture office has gathered information.
14:29I think we have about 34 to 35 million losses in terms of crops and aquaculture.
14:38In terms of livelihood affected, we have more than 11,000 people.
14:43The free medical service was also distributed to the residents of the city.
14:47Of the 200 youths aged 18 and below,
14:51the free check-up and medicine were also given.
14:54We conduct fever surveillance for early detection of children.
15:01If we see someone with a fever, we immediately send them to City Health.
15:14Igan, the City Engineering Office continues to conduct damage assessments
15:21on the houses affected by the Christine earthquake
15:24as a part of the assistance to the affected residents of the city.
15:29Igan.
15:30Thank you very much, Claire La Candela Duncan of GMA Regional TV.
15:35The problems caused by the Christine earthquake are diseases that could be caused by heavy rain.
15:40We will now listen to Health Secretary Ted Herbosa.
15:44Secretary, good morning.
15:46Good morning Igan and good morning to our viewers here.
15:50It is expected that the cases of leptospirosis will increase.
15:54Yes. Whenever there is a flood, all residents are at risk.
15:59They can have leptospirosis.
16:01But we don't have a report yet because there is an incubation period.
16:05This is the time you are waiting for.
16:07After you are exposed to leptospirosis bacteria, there are 14 days before the symptoms show up.
16:15That is what is called an incubation period.
16:17As you can see, we usually report one to two weeks after the flood.
16:22That is when the cases of leptospirosis increase in our hospitals.
16:26So now, what can be done for those who are already exposed to the flood?
16:30First of all, if you are exposed to the flood, you need to wash your hands with soap and water.
16:37Leptospirosis bacteria die from soap and water.
16:41Of course, we prohibit those who play and play in the flood.
16:46Because they might still have leptospirosis.
16:50The last leptospirosis outbreak, the last flood, 30 percent of those who died were children.
16:57So it is very important to hit children and adults.
17:02Then wear boots. If you can walk, protect yourself.
17:09If you have a wound, that is prohibited.
17:12If you have a wound on your leg, it is easier for the bacteria to enter your body if you have a wound on your leg.
17:20Don't go to the bathroom if you have a wound.
17:23If you have a wound and you were allowed to go to the bathroom because you were exposed to the flood,
17:26you need to see a doctor immediately.
17:28We are already resecting antibiotic prophylaxis to prevent or prevent leptospirosis.
17:37Is there a free prescription of antibiotics in the affected areas?
17:42Yes, there is. But we are giving this to our medical team who are in the evacuation centers.
17:49They are assessing if the antibiotic is low risk or high risk.
17:55If it is low risk, you can use soap and water.
17:58If it is high risk, you really need to resect the antibiotic.
18:01Prescription drugs are the antibiotics that we are giving.
18:05But Secretary, there is information that you don't need to go to the flood.
18:10Others are already going to the flood. Even for the leptospirosis patients, we need to be careful when we go there.
18:16That's right. We have cases where their house was cleaned after the flood.
18:21Of course, it was on their feet, not on their boots.
18:24They also had leptospirosis.
18:26Leptospirosis patients can also have leptospirosis.
18:31Second, if you have dirty hands, you touched the boot, you ate, you didn't wash your hands, you can also have leptospirosis.
18:40The transmission can also be like that.
18:42If you just touch your eyes or nose and you clean your house, you can also have leptospirosis.
18:50Aside from leptospirosis, is there any other disease that the Secretary is monitoring?
18:56Our symptoms in evacuation centers are leptospirosis.
19:01Acute respiratory infection is increasing.
19:04It spreads quickly.
19:06If you bring a child to the evacuation center, it will spread quickly.
19:10It's very important to monitor this.
19:13We are recommending to wear a mask.
19:15We are giving surgical masks so that the child with leptospirosis can be isolated and not infect other children.
19:22We are also monitoring drinking water.
19:27It's hard to find drinking water in evacuation centers if there's potable or safe drinking water.
19:33We are giving aquatubs and jerrycans to ensure the drinking water of the families in evacuation centers is safe.
19:41Okay. Let's all be careful. Thank you very much Secretary Ted de Bosa.
19:45Thank you very much. Good morning.
19:48Meanwhile, Pope Francis prayed for the Filipinos who were affected by Hurricane Christine.
19:53In his Angelus in St. Peter's Square in Vatican City,
19:57the Pope said that he is alone in the Philippines that was hit by a very strong hurricane.
20:03The Pope also said that he is close to the Filipinos and he prayed that the Lord will support him.

21:24and drinking alcohol.
21:26The residents of Manila City Hall have also agreed to clean inside Manila North Cemetery.
21:31It is a bit difficult because of the storm.
21:35There are many fallen trees and leaves.
21:47The cremation and burial will be held here
21:50to give way to Undas 2024.
21:53The cemetery will be open from 5am to 5pm.
21:56This is the first news from Manila North Cemetery.
21:58Bamalagre for GMA Integrated News.
22:03Today, it is expected that there will be a downpour in the bus terminals
22:07for those who will return to the province for Undas 2024.

22:47They are ready to travel to avoid the crowds of passengers.
22:51They are heading to Nueva Ecija.
22:53To avoid the traffic and the downpour.
22:57Of course, as senior citizens,
22:59we should take care of ourselves in the crowds.
23:04Just relax during the trip.
23:08Every Saturday, we will leave the bus,
23:13so that you can enjoy your stay.
23:21Father Jason is from Romblon.
23:24He will travel to Hagonoy, Bulacan for Undas.
23:27He has already taken care of his four-year-old daughter.
23:32So that I can go home and rest in Undas.
23:38I just want to say goodbye to my parents there.
23:42They haven't been home for a long time.
23:45It's hard to have a child with me when I go home.
23:49According to the bus terminal in Cubao,
23:52it is expected that the downpour will start today.
23:56It will continue until Undas.
