04:52We have live news with Jasmine Gabriel-Galpatz of GMA Regional TV.
04:57Jasmine.
05:07Igan, the weather is fine this morning here in Tuguegarao, Tipero.
05:11Because of the continuous rising of the Cagayan River, many houses were flooded.
05:22Around 7 p.m. last night, merchants and goods were brought to these stores in Talipapa of Centro 10 in Tuguegarao City, Cagayan.
05:31The flooded river is only a few meters away.
05:34From the building of Talipapa, these children were helped to get in and out of the cars of the grocery stores.
05:43We only brought a few goods because we haven't returned the goods yet.
05:47Because last time, the water was only there for 30 to 45 minutes.
05:52But we were able to carry all of it.
05:54The refrigerator was brought to a higher place.
05:58Next are the vegetables.
06:00It was fast because the dam opened.
06:04It took about four hours to get here.
06:07Aside from the stores, the residents were also busy in arranging their goods
06:11to be able to leave because of the fast rising of the river.
06:14Most of the flood victims are from the area.
06:17Yes ma'am, we will leave soon.
06:19We will carry all of our goods because the water is fast rising.
06:2511 barangays are being monitored by the authorities because of the fast rising of the river.
06:29Now, Pinakanawan River is flooding.
06:31There are people who have already left because they are worried.
06:34If you see that it's raining heavily, it's strong sometimes,
06:40but that's not the thing.
06:42It's because the water is coming from the dam.
06:45The Kagayan River is already above the alarm level.
06:48Aside from Tuguegarao, Baggao also experienced flooding.
06:52Because of the heavy rainfall caused by the Nica typhoon,
06:55they gradually removed part of this area.
06:58Since yesterday morning, there was no supply of electricity to the towns of Balisteros, Lasam, Abulug and Rizal.
07:11Igan, I will just show you the situation here in our barangay, Centro 10.
07:15Because of the fast rising of the Kagayan River,
07:18the flood almost reached the roof of the houses.
07:23There are many residents in the evacuation center.
07:26More than 500 families are in the evacuation center.
07:29But some of them did not evacuate.
07:31Instead, they just built a tent here on the road
07:35where they placed their belongings and where they slept and ate.
07:40That's why the local government is still monitoring.
07:43Igan?
07:44Thank you very much Jasmine Gabriel Galbano, GMA Regional TV.
07:48Be careful.
07:50Let's start with the weather in Aurora Province where the Nica typhoon landed.
07:55We have Engineer Elson Egargue, the chief of PDRMO in Aurora.
08:01Good morning.
08:02Good morning.
08:04Good morning sir Arnold.
08:06Yes. Engineer Egargue, how is the weather in Aurora?
08:12It's better now compared to yesterday.
08:16Compared to yesterday.
08:18Are there still people in the evacuation center?
08:22Just a few. Their houses were damaged.
08:28They were left behind in the evacuation.
08:32Aside from their houses, what else were you able to observe Engineer?
08:37There was a collapse of electric posts and wooden columns.
08:45So the supply of electricity is affected.
08:48In the three towns in Dikadi, northern part of Aurora, they are affected by the supply of electricity.
08:56But here in Central Aurora, the situation is okay.
09:00How many families were evacuated from the evacuation center?

09:20Yes.
09:21Did you notice anyone who was killed, injured or missing?
09:26We did not notice anyone and we are preparing for it.
09:32Engineer, do we have a call for additional residents?
09:38If there's a good will to provide an additional food pack for those affected by the typhoon Lika,
09:54we will receive it for those affected.
10:02What about the affected areas? Are they no longer affected by the flood?
10:07The town of Dilasag and Takakasiguran, until yesterday, there was still a flood.
10:17There's still a flood?
10:18There's still a little water.
10:19Okay. Be careful. Thank you very much Engineer Elson Egargue, the chief of PDRRMO in Aurora. Thank you.
10:28Before the oil price rises, some motorists rushed to charge their cars so that they can save money.
10:37Live from Marikina, EJ Gomez has the first news. EJ.
10:46Egan, the rollback ended last week.
10:49There's a big time increase in the price of oil products starting today.
10:54Motorists and passengers are struggling with their budget and income.
11:04Before Richard, a taxi driver, went home, he went to the gas station first.
11:09Like some other motorists and passengers, he had a full tank earlier this morning
11:14before the big time oil price hike was implemented.
11:19The price of diesel is 2.10 pesos per liter, 1.50 pesos for gasoline,
11:26while 1.20 pesos for each liter of kerosene.
11:30Richard paid almost 1,200 pesos.
11:34He only has 700 to 800 pesos to go home to his family.
11:39We are lucky to earn 1,000 pesos.
11:41We traveled a lot, that's why we only go to the gas station.
11:45We traveled a lot. There were a lot of motorists.
11:50The jeepney driver, Alvin, also rushed to charge his car.
11:54Before, we used to earn 800, 900, 1,000 pesos.
11:59But now, it's 400, 500, sometimes even 200, even in traffic.
12:05According to the Oil Industry Management Bureau of the Department of Energy,
12:09some of the factors affecting the oil price hike this week
12:12are the interest rate cut and the effect of the typhoon in America on their supply.
12:22We were worried that the high oil price hike might happen again.
12:32They are asking now, when will the big time rollback happen
12:37to the price of oil products so that they can go home with a bigger income for their family.
12:45And that is the first news from Marikina City.
12:48EJ Gomez for GMA Integrated News.
12:54If you are a marketer, the price of each kilo of rice for some families in Metro Manila is going down.
13:00Live from Manila, the first news is from Bam Alegre.
13:04Bam!
13:08Good morning. Now that the holiday season is here,
13:11let's monitor the movement of the price of rice here in the Blumentritt Market in Manila.
13:18The price of rice is not going down.
13:20According to Cherry Martinez, she has been looking for a life of selling rice in the Blumentritt Market in Manila.
13:26She suddenly started selling rice because the price of rice is slowly going down.
13:29She gets the rice from the supplier, both local and imported.
13:33Whatever they sell, the same thing happens to us retailers.
13:39For the past 5 months, the price of rice has gone down by more than P100 per kaban.
13:48Others went down by P5 per kilo.
13:52Before, our lowest was P48, P49. Now, it's P45.
13:57As a result, the price of her rice is going down from P45 to P55 per kilo.
14:03This is a big help for her relative, Christy Rea Lengo, who has a rice mill.
14:07The price of rice has gone down a lot.
14:10So far, it's good because it's a big thing for us.
14:14In rice mills, of course, when the price of rice goes down, the profit is good.
14:20According to the Philippine Statistics Authority or PSA,
14:23the average price of regular milled rice was P50.22 per kilo last October.
14:29It didn't go up much to P50.66 per kilo last August.
14:34According to KMP, it's only P44 that it went down
14:39since the President signed Executive Order No. 62
14:42which greatly reduced the tariff on imported rice from 35% to 15%.
14:48One of the effects of the Executive Order No. 62
14:50is that the price of local rice went down from P25 per kilo
14:53to P15 to P18 per kilo which affects the farmers.
14:58We tried to get permission from the Department of Agriculture
15:01because there are a lot of varieties of rice to choose from.
15:04The budget will be adjusted so that the price of some variants of rice will go down.
15:08For example, Sam Fayaldo is the one who buys rice here in Bloomin' Treat.
15:12It's the cheapest, P45 per kilo.
15:15Sometimes, it goes up.
15:17We thought that Bongbong Marcos would buy P20 per kilo.
15:24It didn't go up.
15:31There are a lot of varieties of rice to be sold here in Bloomin' Treat Market this morning.
15:36Jasmine rice, Sinandoming, and imported rice from Vietnam.
15:41This is the first news from Manila.
15:43Good morning for GMA Integrated News.
15:45Former President Rodrigo Duterte will attend the hearing of the House Quad Committee
15:50on War on Drugs that his administration will attend tomorrow.
15:55This was confirmed by the former Chief Presidential Legal Counsel of Duterte, Atty. Salvador Panelo.
16:00According to Panelo, the former president has already attended the hearing
16:04because it seems that he's being challenged by some congressmen.
16:07Panelo did not mention his name,
16:09but Quadcom Co-Chairman Stephen Paduano,
16:12who was forced to issue a show-cause order against the former president
16:16if he will not attend the hearing.
16:18Before that, the Quadcom chairmen called on the former president to attend their hearing.
16:26The former president doubted the integrity of the Quadcom
16:30and called it a pamomolitica to condemn him for the crimes he didn't commit.
16:35The former president added that he has nothing more to say
16:38other than his statements in the Senate hearing on October 28.
16:43GMA Integrated News is trying to get new Quadcom chairpersons.
16:53The four officials of the Office of the Vice President are being cited in contempt
16:57because they did not attend the hearing of the House Committee.
17:01Vice President Sara Duterte said that her office is preparing activities
17:08by not stopping her people from attending the hearing.
17:12We have first news, Tina Panganiban-Perez.
17:16Emily Torrentira refuses to take her oath...
17:19An attorney, Emily Rose Torrentira,
17:22is facing the House Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability.
17:27She is the legal affairs division chief of the Office of the Vice President
17:31and according to her, she was appointed by the OVP.
17:35But apparently, Torrentira refused.
17:38That's the rule, internal rules of this house and this committee.
17:43You cannot speak unless you take your oath or else I will move to excuse you.
17:51I am here to represent the institution, your honor.
17:55I was trying to explain, your honor, that I am not an invited resource person.
17:59Because she was not invited and she did not receive a letter of authority from the OVP,
18:05the committee ordered her to leave the hearing and escorted her out of the room.
18:11Four OVP officials were invited to attend the hearing.
18:15The case is that they all have nothing to do with confidential funds.
18:21The only one who knows is the special disbursing officer of the OVP, Gina Acosta.
18:28But she is still a no-show.
18:30She is the attorney, Lemuel Ortonio, of the OVP Bids and Awards Committee.
18:35She is also the former Deputy Special Disbursing Officer, Edward Fajarda
18:40and the former Deputy Assistant Secretary, Sunshine Chary Fajarda.
18:45That's why the committee is contempting them.
18:49They have been invited several times to answer questions
18:53about the spending of confidential and intelligence funds of Vice President Sara Duterte.
19:00They said that they have official travel.
19:04They were forced to leave on the day of the hearing.
19:11Now, it makes me think that there's actually a malicious intent
19:17behind all these reasons and travel orders given to them
19:21just so that they can again avoid attending today's hearing, Mr. Chair.
19:28We find their excuse as unacceptable.
19:32We are trying to convince them not to come here.
19:36Vice President Sara Duterte has a short answer regarding the sight and contempt of the people.
19:43According to the vice president, they are preparing activities for November 15.
19:49For those who did not attend, there are those who were called in who did not attend
19:56because of the activities of the OVP anniversary.
20:02Duterte also denied that he was stopping the people of the OVP from attending the hearing.
20:08As Deputy Speaker Suarez said,
20:10I agree that there are travel orders from all OVP officials being submitted on the day of the hearing.
20:16His accusation is that there is a malicious intent behind the provision of travel orders.
20:20That is not true. That's not a malicious intent.
20:23The vice president also answered regarding the appearance of the Commission on Audit
20:29on the acknowledgement receipts used by confidential funds in 2022 and 2023.
20:37He said that it is wrong.
20:39There are errors but no names.
20:42There are also things that cannot be read.
20:44Who are the signatories?
20:46It is purely a lie.
20:47Maybe the right venue for us to answer for the audit,
20:53not only to the confidential funds, but to all audits being conducted in our office,
20:58the office of the vice president, is in the Commission on Audit.
21:02As we said from the start, we have been fully cooperating with all the AOMs.
21:09We have been answering all the questions.
21:12Regarding the operation of the satellite office of the OVP in Bacolod City,
21:16VP Sara said that it is possible until the end of the year.
21:22The reason was not detailed by the vice president,
21:24but according to her, it is dependent on the adjustments that will be made to the fund of her office.
21:31The camera and the Senate reduced it for 2025.
21:35This is the first news. Tina Panganiban Perez for GMA Integrated News.
