00:00We will be together in the next episode of Kaksi!
00:17Join me as a State Witness.
00:19This is what the Justice Department plans to do when they return to the country.
00:23Former Police Colonel Roina Garma will finish her sentence in America.
00:27Former President Rodrigo Duterte will go to the camera tomorrow
00:30to confront the Quad Committee that is conducting hearings on the war on drugs.
00:36Witness Tina Panginiban-Perez.
00:42Former Police Colonel Roina Garma has left the country.
00:46She is the former police officer who gave testimony in the House Quad Committee
00:50of the Umanoy Reward System in the war against drugs of former President Rodrigo Duterte.
00:56She left with her daughter.
00:59She took PR-104 last Sunday.
01:05Sunday here, PR-104.
01:09She arrived in the U.S. in San Francisco.
01:12She has no hold departure order.
01:15She has not been charged with a crime so she can leave the country with her daughter.
01:21But they were stopped at San Francisco Airport in America, according to the DILG Secretary.
01:27Because their U.S. visa was cancelled.
01:30Apparently, in the course of the hearings of the Senate, her visa was cancelled.
01:35So maybe she went to America.
01:40The U.S. INS flagged her.
01:42They detained her and we are in the process of being sent home here.
01:47The Bureau of Immigration is arranging for her return to the country.
01:51It's time for Garma to return to the country.
01:54According to the Justice Secretary, they will appoint her as a state witness.
01:58We intend to offer her witness protection for that matter.
02:02At least for the matters that the Quad Com is seeking from her.
02:07Of course, there are other things that we are conducting.
02:10The purpose of the case build-up is to make sure that the cases to be filed are strong cases.
02:16She may be part of it in one way or the other.
02:19There's no case against her.
02:21She can just go home.
02:23She can, but we will offer her protection.
02:26The House Quad Committee continues the hearings.
02:29Last night, the former Chief Presidential Legal Counsel of Duterte, Atty. Salvador Panelo,
02:36said that the former president will attend the hearings tomorrow.
02:38However, the scheduled hearings will be postponed for now
02:42because some witnesses are still confirming their testimonies.
02:47Panelo said today that Duterte will still go to the House of Representatives tomorrow
02:52to confront the Quad Com on the postponement of the hearings,
02:56when they are not being warned.
02:58The former president wanted the lawmakers to schedule a 10-day marathon hearing.
03:05But the Quad Com said that they did not receive any confirmation that Duterte will attend the hearings tomorrow.
03:12Their first invitation was snubbed by Duterte.
03:17We're supposed to have a November 13 hearing, but we decided to cancel it yesterday.
03:24Now they will say that he will go. What is this, brother?
03:27It's also not true that they don't have a visa in Duterte's camp.
03:31Because they sent him a letter that the hearings were postponed.
03:36Last night, a person from Duterte messaged the Quad Com to say that they received the notice
03:43and Duterte wanted to confirm if the hearings were really canceled.
03:48The congressmen only found out through social media that Duterte plans to confront the Quad Com tomorrow.
03:55Why will our social media get the confirmation?
03:59I mean, we officially wrote that we will invite the former president.
04:09I think they did it on purpose.
04:11Because this was discussed on Sunday.
04:16That's their style, right?
04:21To make it appear that we are backing this kind of invitation.
04:28According to the Quad Com, they can't continue the hearings tomorrow just for the former president Duterte
04:34because he's not the only one invited to speak.
04:37Another thing, the camera has a three-day rule
04:40where everyone who attends a hearing needs to be absent for three days before it is postponed.
04:47For GMA Integrated News, I'm Tina Panganiban Perez, your witness.
04:54There's nothing to eat, and there's no electricity.
04:57That's the problem for some people in Aurora because of the storm Nika.
05:01And from Kasiguran, this is Darlene Cai.
05:06Darlene?
05:11Pia, there's still no electricity supply here in the town of Kasiguran in Aurora.
05:15A few posts of electricity were damaged when the storm Nika hit here.
05:24That's why residents who don't have a generator are relying on candles, gas or lights that are solar or battery-powered.
05:31Mea is having a hard time because she has two small children who can't sleep at night because of the heat.
05:36Marjorie said that the electricity supply here should be restored immediately.
05:41According to Kasiguran MDRMO, Aurelco is trying to restore the electricity supply here this week.
05:49It's really hard, especially for us who have small children. It's really hard when there's no electricity.
05:55There's no electricity.
06:05After the strong wind and rain brought by the storm Nika,
06:10the town of Dilasag in Aurora experienced a severe storm.
06:16From fallen trees to damaged houses and other structures,
06:21the storm Nika hit the town of Dilasag in Aurora yesterday.
06:25I was just like that because it was so strong.
06:30And my neighbor was moving up and up.
06:34So I was really scared.
06:38I remember what happened yesterday. I was crying.
06:43I thought that even our house was moving up and down because of the strong wind.
06:53I was praying. I said, stop it. Stop it.
06:58Stop it. That's what I said.
07:01I was scared.
07:05The river also overflowed so three barangays were isolated.
07:09The water level is still high and the storm is strong here
07:13so barangay Diagyan cannot go to the municipality of Dilasag in Aurora.
07:20Even the motorists going to Dinapigue Isabela cannot pass.
07:25But there are still people who crossed the river.
07:28I'm not afraid anymore because I can go to my loved ones in Dilasag
07:35so I can see how they are doing.
07:37There is no communication, ma'am.
07:39We are trying to contact them now.
07:42But as I said, they are still isolated.
07:48Even if it rains, we cannot cross the river.
07:56Will they receive relief aid if the water level goes up?
07:59Yes, that's what will happen.
08:01In the neighboring town of Kasiguran, there is no flood but there is a strong wind of 100 banana trees left by the storm.
08:11Even if we cry, we cannot do anything because of the storm.
08:14It will take four years for the new banana trees to grow and bear fruit.
08:19Family food packs were given to the affected residents.
08:24The people of the LGU are doing clearing operations to remove the affected residents from the road.
08:30But there is still no electricity in Kasiguran and Dilasag.
08:33It may take another month for the electricity supply to reach Dilasag.
08:37A lot of electricity poles fell.
08:40The communication line is still difficult.
08:42The province of Aurora remains alert for the upcoming storms.
08:47We need to be prepared to avoid a disaster.
08:52We also need to take care of our families.
08:57We should not leave our homes unattended.
09:03It should be strong.
09:04If we need to evacuate, we will do so.
09:08We have already done that.
09:10PN, the assessment of the local government continues
09:19to find out the extent of the damage caused by the storm Nika here in the province of Aurora.
09:25And live from Kasiguran, Aurora for GMA Integrated News.
09:30I am Darlene Kaye, your witness.
09:32Darlene, you showed in your report earlier the affected residents, their livelihoods.
09:39And in one of your interviews, you mentioned that it took four years for the trees to grow again.
09:46Is the local government asking for help for those whose livelihoods are affected?
09:52Because what we saw during the Christina storm,
09:54they are asking for help for their livelihoods as well.
10:03You are right, Pia.
10:04The residents here are really asking for help.
10:08For now, they are just being given family food packs to the affected residents of Dilasag and Kasiguran.
10:17But one of the things that is being discussed now is the cash assistance that will be given to them.
10:22The mayor of Dilasag is also calling on those who want to donate to the affected residents
10:27that instead of food packs that they already have for now,
10:30they should donate the materials that they can use to compensate for their damaged homes, Pia.
10:37Alright, thank you very much, Darlene Kaye.
10:41From the time of the Christina storm,
10:43every Sunday, there is a new storm being monitored in the Philippine area of responsibility.
10:48And all of that, including the other two storms that are expected to have an effect on the country,
10:52all of them are coming from the north.
10:55Why? Let's find out in this live witness by Nico Wahe.
11:00Nico?
11:05Pia, the disappearance of the Amihan wind,
11:07is the reason why all of the storms that are entering the country are coming from the north.
11:12They say that the incoming of the Amihan wind is delayed
11:15and this is also the longest delay that has been recorded since they started recording this in 2015.
11:26The first storm to enter in October was the Christina storm.
11:29It hit the northern Luzon and landfalled in Isabela.
11:33The next storm was the León storm that entered the Philippine area of responsibility a few days after the Christina storm.
11:39Both storms passed through the northern Luzon.
11:42On the first week of November, this is the Simarse storm.
11:46On November 9, the Nica storm was formed.
11:49It was also accompanied by the Ophel storm inside Par, which also hit the northern part of the country.
11:55It was also followed by the Pepito storm outside Par.
12:01The reason for the consecutive storms
12:03is that it is embedded in the so-called Intertropical Convergence Zone.
12:07The ITCZ is a series of low-pressure areas that oscillate north to south of our country.
12:16For now, those are the breeding places of our storms.
12:21That is why we can see that our storms are consecutive.
12:26There is also a big effect in the country that is experienced by the La Niña-like condition.
12:30According to the experts, this is the reason why the storms came to us strongly.
12:35The La Niña means that there is unusual cooling far away in the Pacific Ocean.
12:43But there is unusual warming in the Pacific Ocean that is close to us.
12:47That is why we notice that the storms become a typhoon and super typhoon category
12:52because the temperature of the Pacific Ocean is so hot that it is close to us.
12:57So it is very favorable for our storms to intensify.
13:02The same scenario happened on November 2008 when the La Niña also eroded.
13:08Four storms entered the country in just one week and hit the eastern part of the country.
13:14The same thing happened in October 2016.
13:17The difference this year is that there is no wind storm yet.
13:21If we already have a storm, this will be the factor that will change the track of our storm
13:27and possibly lower the track of our storm if the storm is already there or fully established.
13:33This is the latest wind storm since the record was set by Pag-asa in 2015.
13:38But according to Pag-asa, the wind storm is coming soon.
13:43We came from El Niño and now we have La Niña.
13:49And also there are so-called intra-seasonal variability.
13:53So what we are looking at is not only the day-to-day weather.
13:57Despite the following storms, the trend now is that the number of storms entering the country is lower.
14:03But it's up to us.
14:04The number of storms that are more intense, like typhoon and super typhoon category, that is the increasing trend.
14:17According to Pag-asa, there is one to two storms expected to enter the country this year after this Pipito storm.
14:25Live from Pag-asa, for GMA Integrated News, I'm Nico Jae, your witness.
14:31Mga Kapuso, there is no longer a typhoon Mika, but there are still new typhoons to be prepared for.
14:36First is the Typhoon Ophel that entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility
14:40and it's possible that it will rise even more before it reaches the ground.
14:43According to the latest forecast track of Pag-asa, it's possible that it will rise on the east coast of Cagayan
14:48or Isabela on Thursday afternoon or evening.
14:51For now, there is no wind signal yet, but there is already a heavy rainfall outlook.
14:55According to Pag-asa, it's possible that it will be in northern Luzon.
14:58Starting tomorrow afternoon, it's possible that there will be heavy to intense rains in Isabela
15:02and it's possible that it will be strong in Cagayan, Apayao, Abra, Calinga, Mountain Province, and Aurora.
15:09Based on the data of Metro Weather, it's also possible that there will be heavy rains in other parts of Luzon,
15:14Western Visayas, and other parts of Mindanao.
15:18In Metro Manila, it's also possible that there will be localized thunderstorms, especially in the afternoon and evening.
15:23Meanwhile, there is another typhoon that can follow the Typhoon Ophel.
15:26It's a typhoon with an international name, Man-Nyi.
15:30When it enters the Philippine Area of Responsibility, it will be called the Typhoon Pepito.
15:37A Filipino was arrested in Quezon City for abusing his own children.
15:41His wife is a German.
15:44Watch John Consulta Exclusive.
15:48You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you.
15:55There is no way that the people of the Bureau of Immigration and Fugitive Search Unit in Quezon City can be cornered.
16:01The arrested woman is a 57-year-old Filipino who is a German citizen.
16:06According to the Bureau of Immigration, there is an Interpol Red Notice against her
16:10for abusing her and her German husband to their own children.
16:15From 5 years old and 8 years old, their children started to abuse.
16:25They even say that they are recording this.
16:31Their own children complained to the authorities.
16:33That's why their father was arrested in Germany while their mother was deported to the Philippines and hid until the end.
16:42This is one of the cases that we are targeting, especially the fugitives here in our country,
16:47that are involved in sexual offenses.
16:49Because we are avoiding that they will be victims here.
16:53And they also need to be punished for their crimes in Germany.
16:57The suspect will be deported back to Germany without any notice.
17:01For GMA Integrated News, I am John Consulta.
17:06Saksi!
17:08More than half of the government's funds were spent this year for calamities and disasters.
17:14In the meantime, the next place is preparing for a typhoon to come.
17:20Saksi!
17:21This is James Agustin.
17:23Let's go!
17:24Let's go!
17:25Let's go!
17:27This house was also hit by a landslide near the river in Bagau, Cagayan.
17:31There was no one inside because the owner of the house was in Togegaraw City.
17:37The flood in Togegaraw City was high and only a few houses could be seen.
17:41Residents were on their way home to get food and other necessities.
17:45Almost 1,000 families were in the evacuation centers.
17:48Even if the floods continue, they will not be able to go home due to the preparations for the typhoon.
17:54The floods in Ilagan City, Isabela were also high and wide.
17:58That's why some residents went up to the roof of their houses.
18:04In Santiago City, aside from the floods, residents were preparing for the destruction of their houses.
18:09In Santiago City, aside from the floods, residents were preparing for the destruction of their houses.
18:14Mang Amado was able to remove the iron from the house.
18:17At around 2 p.m., the wind suddenly increased.
18:22That's why this happened.
18:25The roof and other establishments were also removed.
18:30In the town of Echage, they were busy repairing the damaged roof of some residents.
18:34The house of Ms. Leticia was also destroyed.
18:37I hope that someone will notice us and help us.
18:42Three more rivers were not able to pass through Echage.
18:44That's the direction to the town of San Isidro.
18:47This is the part of the road that goes to Pogo Bridge.
18:51But because the river was flooding, it was not able to pass through by residents and motorists.
18:56Authorities were also preparing for the upcoming typhoon.
19:01We are replenishing the goods.
19:05We have a strategic plan.
19:09In the region side, we have preposition goods and responders.
19:17In the forest, we also have those.
19:19The flood destroyed rice and corn crops in the town of Tumawini.
19:23The water of Abuklao, Binga, and San Roque Dac also disappeared.
19:27The gates of Magat Dam will also remain open in the middle of the flood.
19:32It is expected that the typhoon will be Tropical Cyclone Pepito, according to the forecast.
19:37The affected areas of Baguio-Nica were also hit by the typhoon Ofe.
19:41The typhoon is almost as strong as the following typhoons.
19:44They are making it difficult for the government to respond.
19:47I don't remember seeing this many typhoons of this strength.
19:52It is possible for one typhoon to be strong and the next one to be strong.
19:57But it is not possible for the next typhoon to be strong.
20:00There are also additional concerns about the funding.
20:02Just last week, President Bombong Marcos said that the government's Quick Response Fund is running out.
20:09But he said not to worry because it will be funded again.
20:12Historically, as early as October, sometimes September,
20:16the Calamity Fund of the national and local governments is running out.
20:21But the government will always get funds and we have assurance from the DBM
20:26that we have enough funds for the next calamities until the end of this December.
20:33According to the Department of Budget and Management,
20:36as of October 24, the Quick Response Fund is at Php30 billion,
20:41which has been allocated to various agencies that respond to calamities,
20:44such as DSWD, DILG, DPWH, and DOTR.
20:49More than half of the funds have already been used.
20:51But the National Disaster Risk Reduction Management Fund is still available for the QRF.
20:57The Contingent Fund, Unprogrammed Appropriations, and Local Government Support Fund are also available.
21:03For GEMA Integrated News, James Agustin, your Saksi.
21:09A container fell from a trailer truck that hit an undercircle in Manila.
21:14Next to it, a container fell that hit another truck.
21:17According to the driver of the trailer truck, he tried to avoid the motorcycle,
21:21but the truck hit a rock.
21:23The container's lock was removed, so it fell.
21:26According to the Manila Traffic and Parking Bureau,
21:29the driver will be responsible for removing the lock and putting it in reckless driving.
21:34While the truck was stuck on the road, the traffic became heavier, especially the rush hour.
21:39At 6 p.m., the accident truck left.
21:44Four people were arrested after they were caught for stealing P1.5 million worth of shabu in Paranaque.
21:50The suspects were also caught in the suspected drug den of the group.
21:54Nine-millimeter guns, magazines, and bullets were also recovered from them.
21:59The Southern Police District is aware that a former member of the Intelligence Service of the Armed Forces of the Philippines
22:05is one of the arrested.
22:07The suspects have not yet been released.
22:10Meralko, there are almost 43 cents per kilowatt-hour added to electricity this November,
22:15equivalent to more than P85 added to the electric bill of those consuming 200 kilowatt-hours.
22:22According to Meralko, in addition to the increased demand,
22:25the P1.5 million affected by electricity by power producers,
22:29as well as the liquefied natural gas terminal fee,
22:32buoys, and other expenses.
22:35For GMA Integrated Youths,
22:38Marisol Abduraman is your witness.
22:43The car of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency, or PIDEA, was stopped and blocked
22:48after it passed through EDSA busway.
22:50In the Special Action and Intelligence Committee for Transportation, the DOTR,
22:54the driver's license is fake and there is no registration of the vehicle.
22:59The convoy of this motorcycle, which is owned by PIDEA, was also stopped.
23:04In defense of the driver, they passed through the busway because they were part of the operation.
23:08The case was submitted to the Land Transportation Office
23:11to issue a show-cause order against the driver and his associates.
23:16The PIDEA will conduct an investigation and ensure that the suspects are punished.
23:28The son of Tom Rodriguez, who is now a father,
23:31will introduce his 4-month-old son, Corbin, through cute sketches.
23:35This is what he will show for the privacy of his mother,
23:39who is not a Shulbist and is currently in America.
23:42According to Tom, his son is his greatest source of inspiration.
23:46And they are already planning how and where they will settle down
23:49to build their family.
23:53I know I can be a great example for him, so that's what I strive for.
23:57I strive to be a good person, to keep going back up, dust your knees,
24:03try to live a righteous life.
24:06We all make mistakes, but we keep moving forward.
24:13I am Pia Arcangel, for a bigger mission and a wider service to the country.
24:19From GMA Integrated News, the news authority of the Philippines,
24:23until tomorrow, we will be together.
24:26Saksi!
