NewsTranscript
00:00In other news, four officials of the Office of the Vice President were cited in contempt because they did not attend the hearing of the Camera.
00:08Vice President Sara Duterte claimed that she was blocking her ability to attend the hearings.
00:14Witness, Tina Paganiban Perez.
00:19One of the appointees, Atty. Emily Rose Torrentira,
00:23was the face of the House Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability.
00:29She is the Legal Affairs Division Chief of the Office of the Vice President,
00:33and according to her, she was appointed by the OVT.
00:36But witness, Torrentira refused.
00:53I'm here to represent the institution, Your Honor.
00:56I was trying to explain, Your Honor, that I am not an invited resource person.
01:01Because she was not invited and she did not receive a letter of authority from the OVT,
01:06the committee ordered her to be removed from the hearing and escorted out of the room.
01:12Four OVT officials were invited to attend the hearing.
01:17However, all of them had nothing to do with the confidential funds.
01:23The only one who was notified was the OVT Special Disbursing Officer, Gina Acosta.
01:29But she was still a no-show because she was appointed by Lemuel Ortonio of the OVT Bids and Awards Committee.
01:36The former DepEd Special Disbursing Officer, Edward Fajarda,
01:41and the former DepEd Assistant Secretary, Sunshine Chary Fajarda,
01:46were contempted and stopped by the committee.
01:50They were invited to the chamber several times to answer questions
01:54about the spending of confidential and intelligence funds of Vice President Sara Duterte.
02:01They said that they have official travel to their home.
02:05They were forced to leave on the day of the hearing.
02:12Now, it makes me think that there's actually a malicious intent
02:18behind all these reasons and travel orders given to them
02:22just so that they can again avoid attending today's hearing Mr. Chair.
02:29We find their excuse as unacceptable.
02:33We are still trying to ask them to speak here.
02:37Vice President Sara Duterte was able to avoid answering questions about the sight and contempt of the people.
02:44According to the vice president, they are preparing activities for November 15.
02:50For those who were not able to attend, there were those who were not able to attend
02:57because of the activities of the OVP anniversary.
03:03Duterte denied that he was stopping the people of the OVP from attending the hearing.
03:09Vice President Sara Duterte also answered questions about attending the last hearing
03:14that was held by the Commission on Audit
03:16regarding the use of confidential funds in the use of acknowledgment receipts in 2022 and 2023.
03:24She said that it was wrong.
03:27There were mistakes but there were no names.
03:29There were also those who were not able to read who the signatories were.
03:33It was purely a lie.
03:35Maybe the right venue for us to answer for the audit,
03:40not only for the confidential funds but for all audits that are being conducted in our office,
03:45in the office of the vice president, is in the Commission on Audit.
03:50As we said from the start, we have been fully cooperating with all the AOMs.
03:56We have been answering all the questions.
03:59Regarding the operation of the satellite office of the OVP in Bacolod City,
04:03VP Sara said that it is possible until the end of the year.
04:08The reason was not detailed but according to her,
04:12it depends on the adjustment that will be made to the fund of her assignment.
04:18It was reduced by the Camera and the Senate for 2025.
04:22For GMA Integrated News, I am Tina Panganiban Perez, your witness.
04:34Dear viewers, before the witness,
04:36the death of a rival in the hospital of a man after being shot in the middle of the road in Cebu City.
04:42Witness, Alan Domingo of GMA Regional TV.
04:48This is the motorcycle that was found in this part of Barangay Cugon, Ramos, Cebu City.
04:53Later, a man got out of the van and was shot by a motorcycle rider.
05:00The 21-year-old victim was rushed to the hospital but he was declared dead on arrival after being hit on the side.
05:09Based on the investigation of the police,
05:12the group of victims came from a bar where they were followed by suspects.
05:17Based on the backtracking and investigation that we did,
05:21we have persons of interest.
05:24We also have possible places where they are.
05:28Currently, we have trackers that follow up the places where they are.
05:35There are 5 persons of interest in the police.
05:38One of the motives of the crime is illegal drugs,
05:42which is said to be the reason for the previous imprisonment of the victim.
05:46Justice is the cry of the family of the victim.
05:49For GMA Integrated News, I am Alan Domingo of GMA Regional TV.
05:55Your witness.
05:58A severe tropical storm, the Nica Tsunami, has passed.
06:01But the strong and heavy rains are still expected in the northern and cordillera regions.
06:06Based on the ATM bulletin of hope,
06:08the signal number 3 in the southern portion of Apayao,
06:12Abra, Calinga, Mountain Province, Ifugao,
06:16northern portion of Benguet, southern portion of Ilocos Norte and Ilocos Sur.
06:20Signal number 2 in the southwestern portion of Cagayan,
06:23eastern portion of Isabela, northern portion of Quirino,
06:27northern portion of Nueva Vizcaya, La Union,
06:30other parts of Ilocos Norte, other parts of Apayao, and other parts of Benguet.
06:36Signal number 1 in Pangasinan,
06:39other parts of Cagayan and Boboyan Islands,
06:42other parts of Isabela, other parts of Quirino, and other parts of Nueva Vizcaya,
06:47Tarlac, northern and central portions of Zambales, Nueva Ecija, and Aurora.
06:53Finally, the storm has passed in the waters of Magsingal, Ilocos Sur.
06:57It has a strength of 110 kmph and a magnitude of 185 kmph.
07:04Based on the forecast track of hope,
07:07it is possible that tomorrow, the PAR will report the Nika storm.
07:10But tomorrow, another storm is possible to pass,
07:13which is called the Ofel storm.
07:16And if it passes tomorrow,
07:18it is possible that it will hit the northern or central zone.
07:22But based on the forecast, there is a chance that it will recur.
07:26Aside from the Ofel storm,
07:28another new storm is possible to follow,
07:33and if it continues, it will be called the Bagyong Pepito storm.
07:37And there can still be changes,
07:39so, Kapuso, just monitor the updates.
07:44The AFP-Western Command is investigating the presence of the China Coast Guard
07:48in the Philippine islands heading to Eskoda or Binashol.
07:52China is a part of their territory.
07:56Our witness.
07:57Our witness.
08:28He arrived early in the morning.
08:30Until then, they were still studying.
08:32Around 5 in the morning,
08:34two speedboats landed on the CCG ship.
08:37Two speedboats.
08:38We were attacked.
08:39Our traffic was attacked.
08:40Because they wanted to attack us.
08:42That's why their ship, which was supposed to go to Eskoda or Binashol, was struck.
08:46Maybe the...
08:48Maybe they didn't test it.
08:49The ship was the one that attacked us.
08:51We didn't see any speedboats in the Philippines.
08:56Sabina or Eskoda-Shol is inside the Exclusive Economic Zone of the Philippines
09:01because it is only 140 kilometers away from Palawan.
09:06The Philippine Coast Guard tried to guard it
09:09by placing BRP Teresa Magbanwa to patrol.
09:14But in September, it was pulled out
09:17because of the condition of its crew,
09:19lack of food, and bad weather.
09:22The AFP-Western Command is investigating what happened.
09:26They said that they have been guarding the West Philippine Sea for 24 hours.
09:30According to the Chinese Embassy,
09:32Eskoda-Shol, or they call it Xiangbingjiao,
09:36is a part of their Nansha Kundao or Spratly Islands,
09:41which they claim.
09:43China has recently passed two new law.
09:48First, the Maritime Zones Law, which establishes the territory of the Philippines
09:52in accordance with the 2016 Arbitral Award,
09:55and the Archipelagic Sea Lanes Law,
09:57which establishes three sea lanes
10:00where all ships and airplanes of other countries can pass.
10:05China also reduced the baseline of their territorial sea
10:10around Huangyandao,
10:12which they call Bajo de Masilok or Scarborough Shoal.
10:16They also removed their baselines.
10:18Their press statement has no specifics,
10:21unlike our law, which is very clear.
10:23There is no reason for China to protest
10:26because what is included in the Maritime Zones Law
10:29is what is included in the International Law.
10:32For GMA Integrated News,

10:38A slander by deed complaint was filed
10:40against Relief PAOC spokesperson Winston Cascio,
10:43the employee of the raided BPO company in Bataan.
10:46According to the complainant,
10:47Cascio slandered him three times
10:49after he accused him of slandering a human being.
10:53The BPO company, however,
10:56insists that they are not a scam hub.
11:00According to Central One Bataan,
11:02the allegations of labor trafficking,
11:05online scam, and online gambling are not true.
11:08They will file a motion in court.
