00:00The wind was so strong in Gonzaga, Cagayan that it hit the wind signal No. 5 earlier.
00:12It hit the huge branch of that tree.
00:15This happened earlier this afternoon in the middle of the stormy off-hit.
00:20Storm surge warning was issued to some areas of Cagayan and Ilocos Norte.
00:27It is also possible for the next two days to hit some areas of Aurora, Batanes, Ilocos Sur, and Isabela.
00:34That is why residents are advised to stay away from the sea and do not go out.
00:41The people of Cagayan experienced almost a flood that was hit by the Ophel storm just a few days after the Marseille storm.
00:49The strong wind and rain in Isabela was also felt.
00:52From Ilagan City, this is James Agustin with a live report.
00:55Agustin? James?
01:00This is the worst rain that we are experiencing tonight here in Ilagan City, in Isabela.
01:05But there are some towns here in the province that underwent pre-emptive evacuation earlier.
01:11Some residents fled four days ago from the evacuation center.
01:15The province of Cagayan experienced another heavy storm.
01:21This morning, the wind signal No. 5 was raised in the northeastern portion of mainland Cagayan, along with the town of Santa Ana.
01:29Earlier this afternoon, the Ophel storm was felt.
01:33The strong wind and rain were felt.
01:35This caused great fear among the residents.
01:40This parking and multi-purpose center was almost completely destroyed.
01:44Electricity was also cut off in some areas.
01:47More than 200 families, including the residents, were evacuated from Barangay San Vicente.
01:53The problem is that the windows are missing after the Marseille storm destroyed some of them.
01:58Rescuers also went home to force themselves to flee.
02:02At two in the afternoon, the Ophel storm hit the town of Bagao.
02:07The storm's impact on the town of Bugue and Apari was devastating.
02:13The storm chasers were hopeful.
02:16The town of Gonzaga felt the impact.
02:19The town of Mulu was also affected.
02:21Cagayan River was also affected.
02:25When Isabela returned home, the wind and rain were also strong.
02:29The residents of the northern part of the town were evacuated.
02:32In the northern city, more than 300 families remained in the evacuation center
02:37while the Bakulud Bridge was still not passed over the river.
02:43President Bombong Marcos was ordered by the DILG and DNR
02:46to investigate the LGUs that used the Geohazard Maps of the Mines and Geosciences Bureau-MGB.
02:53This will help to investigate the landslides and flood-prone areas.
02:57In the event that the Pepito storm hits Metro Manila,
03:00more than 1,400 barangays are possible homes, mostly in the city of Manila.
03:05Tomorrow, a pre-emptive evacuation will start in the areas affected by the Pepito storm.
03:13Meanwhile, the water levels in Pinacanawan and Cagayan River are being closely monitored.
03:18First, the situation here in Ilagan City.
03:21Isabela, this is for you.
03:23Thank you very much, James Agustin.
03:26Even though we were not able to wake up from the storm Marce,
03:30the residents of Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte were forced to evacuate due to the Ophel storm.
03:34The problem is that the evacuation centers were destroyed.
03:38Darlene Cai has a live report on this.
03:41Darlene?
03:46Atoms, right now, we are experiencing heavy winds and rain here in Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte,
03:52where signal number 3 is high.
03:54That's why earlier, just like what you said,
03:56residents who live in low-lying areas and by the sea were forced to evacuate.
04:02Signal number 3 is high.
04:04Everyone who is ready to evacuate,
04:07please be ready here at the pick-up point.
04:10DRRMO, police, barangay, and AFP personnel are working together
04:14to evacuate residents who live by the sea in Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte.
04:18This is a big challenge for the local government,
04:20especially since the evacuation centers were destroyed.
04:24Everyone, just like what you said,
04:27you will be evacuated,
04:30for our safety.
04:33The storm destroyed the seawall in Barangay Poblacion 1
04:36that's why the residents are afraid of the strong waves.
04:40The sea, ma'am,
04:42that's what we're waiting for.
04:44We're afraid of the sea.
04:46Josie is emotional because she remembers when they evacuated.
04:50Because, ma'am, it's hard to evacuate.
04:52When we evacuated in our high school,
04:54ma'am, the buildings also fell.
04:58Josie Lin is so brave.
05:00She barely has a place to stay in the house where she grew up.
05:03Even though she hasn't been able to get up,
05:05she still needs to evacuate.
05:07We need help, ma'am.
05:09Our house was destroyed.
05:11Our house was destroyed.
05:13My mother is still alive.
05:16In Pasaling Elementary School,
05:18some residents of Pagudpud were affected by the storm in March.
05:21But the storm also destroyed this school.
05:23We looked for things that we can use.
05:26In other schools as well,
05:28but we couldn't find things that we can use.
05:38Atom, the provincial government of Ilocos Norte remains alert.
05:42Aside from Pagudpud,
05:44residents of Adams and Bacara are also evacuating.
05:48That's the latest from Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte.
05:51Back to you, Atom.
05:53Thank you, Darlene Cai.
05:55The government will not help or stop
05:58the International Criminal Court
06:00to investigate the Duterte War on Drugs.
06:03Ivan Myrina has a report.
06:08Even the former President Rodrigo Duterte
06:10told the Quad Committee hearing yesterday.
06:13I'm asking the ICC to hurry up.
06:18And if possible, they can come here
06:21and start the investigation tomorrow.
06:24But he also said in the hearing.
06:26The problem is, there's no jurisdiction.
06:31Give me a jurisdiction first before anything else.
06:35President Marcos insisted that the ICC will not help his government.
06:40But...
06:41We will not stop the ICC.
06:44If they allow him to talk
06:48or investigate the ICC,
06:51it's up to him.
06:52Others are asking for help from the ICC in Interpol
06:55or International Criminal Police Organization.
06:58We have obligations to Interpol.
07:01And we have to live up to those obligations.
07:05The ICC might buy from Interpol
07:08to issue a red notice against a person.
07:10The red notice serves as an alert to member countries
07:14like the Philippines
07:15that might be arrested by a country
07:17or international organization like the ICC.
07:21According to DOJ...
07:22If you block that, we will have repercussions in the country.
07:27We are not in the business of blocking the Interpol's job.
07:31According to the ICC, they are pointing out what's happening in the Philippines.
07:35The Quad Committee believes that the results of yesterday's hearing are good
07:39because of the confession of Duterte
07:41and other important information they found,
07:44despite the hot weather.
07:47In one of the cameras,
07:48we can hear former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV saying something to Duterte.
08:10The former president apologized.
08:12I just would like to apologize for the unbecoming behavior.
08:21It's hot in your head.
08:24He's going to slap me.
08:26Isn't that a provocation?
08:30I told him to come and slap me.
08:34Duterte withdrew from the issue of signing a bankruptcy waiver.
08:39Duterte said that he's ready to sign a waiver, but there are conditions.
08:44All of them, not just me.
08:47Even the one sitting in front of me.
08:49So that people can see me.
08:55That's my money.
08:57That's yours.
08:58His wife needs to know if she's ready to sign a waiver
09:02because they have a joint account.
09:05Ivan Mayrena reporting for GMA Integrated News.
09:10Ken Chan, the actor who spoke,
09:13was involved in the syndicated estafa case.
09:16In a post, Chan said that he's not a fool
09:20and he doesn't ask for money,
09:22he avoids accusations against him.
09:25He chose to remain silent for the time being
09:28because he's fighting the law.
09:30He also doesn't run away from cases.
09:33He's questioning why the syndicated estafa was charged
09:37when the issue of bankruptcy is just around the corner.
09:40He will release the details in the next few days.
09:44The syndicated estafa case is non-bailable
09:47and there's a life imprisonment penalty.
09:50According to the complainant's lawyer,
09:52Chan Dao is convincing the victims to invest
09:55in a business with a 10% monthly interest.
09:59The warrant of arrest was served twice
10:02against Chan.
10:06Early menopause is one of the possible experiences
10:10of a woman with hypothyroidism
10:13like actress Karla Abellana.
10:15The expert explains why this happens
10:18in the FitTrack report of Mona Kino.
10:23Five years, five doctors,
10:25and countless medical tests and medicines.
10:28That's what actress Karla Abellana shares
10:31about her experiences due to hypothyroidism.
10:35It's something I have to deal with,
10:37health issues like hypothyroidism.
10:40God reminds me how valuable life is,
10:44how important our health is.
10:47Age and gender are not chosen.
10:50According to Karla, due to hypothyroidism,
10:53perimenopausal means menopause at the age of 37.
10:57In spite of her regular workouts,
10:59she gained weight.
11:01What is hypothyroidism or underactive thyroid?
11:05Hypothyroidism is a condition
11:07where our thyroid gland,
11:10which is here in our neck,
11:12weakens.
11:13That's why it reduces the production
11:16of what we call thyroid hormones,
11:18which are better known as T4 and T3.
11:22Thyroid hormones are important in metabolism,
11:25brain function,
11:26good skin,
11:27heartbeats,
11:28and movement of the brain.
11:30Among the symptoms of hypothyroidism,
11:32having goiter,
11:34being forgetful,
11:36dry skin,
11:37slow heartbeats,
11:39rapid weight gain,
11:40and early menopausal symptoms.
11:42Ovulation weakens.
11:45That's why they have irregularities
11:48in their blood vessels.
11:51Fertility decreases.
11:53There are many risk factors
11:55for having hypothyroidism,
11:57such as iodine deficiency,
11:59family history,
12:01chronic autoimmune thyroiditis,
12:03thyroid surgery
12:05due to goiter or typhoid cancer,
12:07and others.
12:08That's why doctors advise
12:09to avoid it,
12:10to have an iodine-rich diet
12:12such as eating seafood,
12:14using iodized salt,
12:16and to get a check-up immediately
12:18especially if you have family history.
12:20Especially hypothyroidism
12:22requires a long-term treatment.
