00:00The flood of Pepito in the Philippine area of responsibility is expected to hit the Southern Luzon.
00:21Passengers in the Naga City Van Terminal in Camarines Sur arrived.
00:25The line was long in the waiting of vans for a diet trip to Camarines Norte.
00:29Most of the passengers are students studying in Camarines Sur and are on their way home to their hometowns in Bicol Region.
00:36In the presence of the public, they have already cancelled some shipping lines for their trip today.
00:42This is for the safety of the passengers and for them to have time to prepare for the approaching of the Pepito Flood in the Philippine area.
00:51The Pepito Flood is expected to hit the Southern Luzon.
00:55We will talk to Head Engineer Dante Baclau of the Albay Public Safety and Emergency Management Office.
01:02Good morning.
01:04Good morning Igan and all our viewers.
01:10Thank you. It is expected that the Pepito Flood will hit Bicol again.
01:15Can you tell us what preparations are being made in Albay?
01:20The preparations we made since yesterday, all levels of the school are suspended.
01:31As of now, we will carry out the pre-emptive evacuation for all classes.
01:41There is no work. Tomorrow, there will be no commercial activities to be done.
01:51Where will the pre-emptive evacuation be carried out, Engineer?
01:56What do you mean? Province-wide.
02:00Province-wide?
02:02Province-wide coverage of the flood.
02:05Are the rescue boats and other equipment here with you?
02:09It was a problem when the flood hit. What happened?
02:11Actually, Igan, our rescue equipment is on standby.
02:18The Coast Guard, the Armed Forces, the PNP and the LGOs. They are all on standby.
02:26Are the food packs in the affected areas ready, Engineer Baclau?
02:33So far, DSWD has an assurance that the food packs are sufficient.
02:39Yesterday, we talked to the regional director-general of DSWD.
02:44The LGOs are also on standby. There are sufficient resources.
02:52Are you able to recover from the flood, Christine?
02:55We are on our way there, Igan.
03:00We are on our way to recovery.
03:02That's why the next flood will hit, Nica and Pito.
03:13We are just doing what is necessary to recover.
03:23You are with us in our prayers.
03:25Engineer, take care.
03:26Engineer Dante Baclau of Albay Public Safety and Emergency Management Office.
03:32Thank you. Thank you as well.
03:34Thousands of residents have been affected by the Ophel Flood in Cagayan.
03:39The problem there is the lack of evacuation centers
03:43because many have been affected by the Marse Flood last week.
03:48First news live from Chris Suniga of GMA Regional TV.
03:53Chris?
03:58Igan, in the province of Cagayan,
04:00the Ophel Flood still has a severe impact on the town of Santa Ana.
04:04That's why about 1,300 families have been evacuated.
04:13It seems that the heavy rains in Santa Ana, Cagayan are not going to stop.
04:17Heavy rains accompanied by strong winds.
04:23These trees are being pushed by the wind.
04:26Others have completely collapsed.
04:28Yesterday afternoon, the Ophel Super Typhoon hit Baggao, Cagayan.
04:34There was almost zero visibility on the road.
04:36The roof of this parking lot was almost blown off.
04:39The same happened to the power stations in the multi-purpose center.
04:42There was also no electricity supply in the area.
04:45In the town of Bugay,
04:47the rescuers bravely tried to cut through the typhoon
04:50to evacuate a resident.
04:52The evacuation of the residents in the town of Apari continued.
04:55The typhoon was also experienced in the town of Gonzaga
04:59and in the center of Amulong.
05:01GMA Integrated News witnessed
05:03how the strong winds almost blew the branches of the trees in Santa Ana.
05:08The wind was also very loud.
05:13At the same time, the number of evacuees in the barangay
05:17did not stop, including more than 30 families of the residents.
05:21We were a little scared of the strong winds.
05:25The problem is that the branches of the evacuation center
05:29for the 200 families who were evacuated in the barangay of San Vicente are not enough.
05:33Many classrooms were destroyed by the typhoon last week.
05:38We set up 25 individuals in the rooms.
05:42We set up 30 in the big rooms.
05:46But because it was not enough, some said it would be small.
05:50So we decided to set up more.
05:58There is still a big problem in some places in Cagaya
06:00due to the lack of electricity supply and communication.
06:05There is also a road that is not accessible due to the flood.
06:07The authorities are conducting a clearing operation
06:09for the fallen posts, trees, and debris that fell on the road.
06:15Meanwhile, here in Dagupan City,
06:17some fishermen did not go fishing
06:19like Ma'am Benny
06:21because of the heavy waves in the sea.
06:23There is no rain,
06:25but they are afraid that they may have a bad time in the sea
06:29because of the Ophel and Pepito typhoons.
06:34Some parts of Tondaligan Beach Park
06:36in Dagupan City have been flooded
06:38because of the typhoons.
06:40Some beachgoers are still visiting,
06:42but the authorities are reminding
06:44that there is no swimming policy
06:46if the weather is bad.
06:50Thank you very much, Chris Zuniga of GMA Regional TV.
06:56Tropical cyclone wind signals are still high
06:58in some places in Cagayan due to the Ophel typhoon.
07:01Regarding the situation there,
07:03we will hear from the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction
07:05and Management Office Head,
07:07Welly Rapsing. Good morning.
07:11Good morning, Sir Arnold
07:13and to all of you who are watching.
07:15We are back in Cagayan.
07:17Is the wind strong? Is it raining?
07:19Is there a storm?
07:21Although the signal number one
07:23in our province is high,
07:25the sun is shining here
07:27and it is clear.
07:29Can we say that the typhoon
07:31has already closed your province?
07:33Yes, but that's how it is.
07:35We want the typhoons to pass.
07:37How are our residents?
07:39How are our women affected?
07:41Yes, Sir.
07:43As to evacuees,
07:45at the evacuation center,
07:47we have a camp management.
07:49There are a lot of women
07:51who have been evacuated
07:53because of the typhoon.
07:56We have a camp management
07:58and our camp managers
08:00are taking care of them.
08:04Have they returned to their homes?
08:08There was a two-day window
08:10after March
08:12before Nika arrived.
08:14That's why our evacuees
08:16were able to return to their homes.
08:20When Ofel arrived,
08:22we returned
08:25our evacuees.
08:27So there are still evacuees
08:29at the evacuation center?
08:31They need to be left, Sir.
08:33We need to make sure
08:35that the land of their community
08:37is stable
08:39so that we can be sure
08:41that we won't have a landslide.
08:43How is the supply of electricity,
08:45communication and roads?
08:49As to power interruption,
08:51there is no electricity
08:54in Gunsaga and Santa Ana.
08:56In the northern portion,
08:58most of the coastal municipalities
09:00have no electricity.
09:02As to roads and bridges,
09:04you won't be able to pass
09:06the Jose Bridge
09:08connecting Santa Ana to Gunsaga.
09:10It collapsed
09:12after a strong flash flood
09:14that happened yesterday
09:16and a lot of trees fell.
09:18It hit
09:20our river
09:23and
09:25the other edge
09:27collapsed
09:29and what's left is in the middle.
09:31So right now,
09:33the DPWH has cleared
09:35since it's a national road,
09:39they might come up
09:41with a temporary
09:43bailey bridge
09:45to temporarily connect
09:47Santa Ana again.
09:49Be careful there.
09:51Provincial Risk Reduction and Management Office Head
09:53Rueli Rapsing.
09:57Thank you very much, Sir Arnold
09:59and all of you who are with us.
10:01As a warning to the floods,
10:03do not travel
10:05from Paranaque Integrated Terminal Exchange.
10:07We have live news from
10:09Bam Alegre.
10:11Bam.
10:13Good morning.
10:15Because of the floods,
10:17the LTFRB has suspended
10:20the trucks going to Visayas and Mindanao
10:22along with the passengers
10:24from Paranaque Integrated Terminal Exchange
10:26or PITX.
10:32This morning, the passenger
10:34Marvin Hulong was surprised
10:36when he found out that he cannot take a bus
10:38to go home late.
10:40Bus companies are still waiting
10:42for Visayas and Mindanao
10:44if they will be able to travel again.
10:46The buses are suspended
10:49because of the floods.
10:51Visayas and Mindanao
10:53will be crossed by islands and seas
10:55in Batangas Port and Matnug Port
10:57in Sugon.
10:59It is being monitored
11:01that there will be an effect
11:03of the Ophel Flood
11:05and the next Pepito Flood.
11:07Let's listen to the statement
11:09of the passenger Marvin Hulong
11:11and the dispatcher Mel Choros Salabasaban.
11:13It's hard.
11:15The expenses might run out.
11:18...
11:22For your information,
11:24bus companies will go to
11:26your destinations before
11:28arriving at PITX.
11:30This is also a reminder to other advisers
11:32to follow the latest updates from PITX.
11:34This is Bam Alegre for GMA Integrated News.
11:36It is not yet sure
11:38if former President Rodrigo Duterte
11:40will attend the next hearing
11:42of House Squad Committee
11:44on War on Drugs on November 21.
11:46The former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV challenged him to sign a bank secrecy waiver.
11:53The former President said that he will sign it but there's a condition.
11:58We have first news, Sandra Aguinaldo.
12:03After all, former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV,
12:06the bank transactions that are related to illegal drugs.
12:12So the total of the credits that went in is 2.4 billion.
12:17That's the smoking gun of the proceeds of the illegal drug trade of the Duterte crime family.
12:24And the signing of the bank secrecy waiver of the former President is a priority.
12:28If there's one truth, I will resign and I will ask my daughter to resign and everybody in the family.
12:39That is my guarantee and I will hang myself.
12:48Will the former President be okay that if we draft the waiver now that it be signed today instead of tomorrow?
13:09Session suspended.
13:17In another angle, Trillanes said something before Duterte got mad that he will be hit by a microphone.
13:24I will sample it on my skin.
13:26Session suspended.
13:39Please observe proper decorum.
13:42We are in a committee hearing.
13:45We have already stressed from the very beginning that the proper rules, decorum, will be implemented regardless of who you are.
13:58Sorry.
14:00In the continuation of the hearing, the issue of the waiver was raised several times.
14:05Duterte was asked if he will really sign or is there a condition?
14:09I have to ask my wife to appear here and to ask her if she is ready to waive the bank secrecy law.
14:18It's a joint account.
14:20So I had it back in my mind about my wife.
14:24But Trillanes was angry.
14:26Just for the record, it's a joint account between Duterte and Vice President Sara Duterte.
14:35So they are not the wife.
14:38That's what we got.
14:41And just like what I anticipated earlier, Mr. Chairman, that when he said that he's willing to sign a waiver, it's the same thing.
14:52It's always a bluff.
14:54I will allow it. You can slap me, but you need to sign the waiver first.
15:00Just to maintain decorum in this proceeding, and just to be fair, may we request the former senator not to provoke any resource persons because that won't do any good to anyone.
15:12I apologize Mr. Chairman.
15:14Thank you very much Mr. Chairman.
15:16He will slap me.
15:18Isn't that a provocation?
15:20I didn't say that.
15:22Come on, slap me first.
15:25But according to Quadcom's lead chair, Congressman Robert A. Barbers, on the contrary, the hearing was calm and orderly.
15:33I'm glad that there were no expletives and foul language, although there were some that were offensive.
15:40But generally, it was all calm, it was all orderly, and most of all, we were able to elicit significant information from him.
15:52That's why there was no contempt even when the former President Trillanes and former Senator Laila Delima were slapped.
15:59According to Quadcom, Quadcom should remind everyone to maintain proper decorum.
16:06To some people, it looks offensive.
16:09To some people, this probably will be perceived as a playful gesture of the President.
16:20So we really cannot judge.
16:23But of course, the attention of the President and the other resource persons there was actually called by the chair.
16:38The chair said let's maintain proper decorum.
16:41I think that was enough message for all of them.
16:45The next Quadcom hearing will be held on November 21.
16:48Before the camera was released, the former President had a condition.
16:53If he will sign, he should not be alone.
16:57All of them, not just me.
16:59What do you mean all of them?
17:01All of them, as in all of them.
17:03Who are they?
17:05All of them that I want to point out.
17:07Even the one sitting in front of me.
17:09So you have a condition.
17:12Why just me?
17:14So that people can see me.
17:20That's my money.
17:22You're not paying me.
17:24This is the first news.
17:26Sandra Aguinaldo for GMA Integrated News.
17:28The government will not help the International Criminal Court, ICC to investigate the war on drugs of the Duterte administration.
17:40I'm asking the ICC to hurry up.
17:44And if possible, they can come here and start the investigation tomorrow.
17:52If that's what the PRRD wants, we will not stop the ICC.
18:00We will not help.
18:03But if he agrees to talk to the ICC, it's up to him.
18:11We have no decision on that.
18:13According to the Department of Justice, even if the Philippines leaves the Rome Statute that established the ICC in 2019,
18:21we are still a member of the International Criminal Police Organization or INTERPOL.
18:26That's why if the ICC allows the INTERPOL to go through the process and gives a red notice to the INTERPOL in the Philippines,
18:32our government is obligated to pursue it.
18:34The DOJ and PNP are also investigating the war on drugs.
18:40That includes what former President Duterte said about the killing, planting evidence and the so-called reward system to the police.
18:51All of the testimony that was given will be taken in and will be assessed to see what, in legal terms,
19:03what is the real meaning and consequence of some of the statements made by PRRD.
19:11Now, if that will result in a case being filed here in the Philippines, we will just have to see.
19:17The DOJ will have to make that assessment.
19:20The GMA Integrated is also working on the House Quad Committee.
19:24It was formed by Vice President Sara Duterte this Wednesday during the inauguration of her father,
19:30former President Rodrigo Duterte, in the hearing of the committee called this drug war.
19:34The vice president insisted that he doesn't expect the Camera to be fair.
19:38He called this a politics, just like his experience there.
19:42He made the House Committee's investigation on good government and public accountability
19:48by using the confidential funds of the Office of the Vice President and the Department of Education during his secretive time.
19:56Duterte said that he's just doing what the Camera wants based on what they want.
20:02The Metro Manila Council issued an order against the people who stand in the parking lot to reserve.
20:08The reaction of the motorists to the first news live from Jomer Apesto.
20:15Jomer.
20:19Good morning. A lot of motorists were favorably punished by the people who stand in the parking lot to reserve.
20:26Here is my report.
20:34Oops. Wait. Are you one of the people who stand in the parking lot?
20:40That's prohibited by the MMDA.
20:42That's why their plan is to make an ordinance to punish the people who stand in the parking lot to reserve.
20:48What can other motorists say about this?
20:52I think it's okay. It's not acceptable.
20:54It's not a good thing.
20:56If you don't have a car to park, why would you stand in the parking lot to reserve?
20:59The MMDA can do that.
21:01They can do it if they want.
21:03That's not allowed.
21:05The driver, Jim Boy, experienced that scene himself.
21:10Sometimes, when I'm about to park, the driver will stop a child.
21:13When you're about to park, you will be stopped by someone who is already in reserve.
21:17Of course, it's annoying.
21:19He doesn't have any property.
21:21Why would he stop a child?
21:24The MMDA issued an order against the people who stand in the parking lot to reserve last year.
21:28Based on Ordinance No. 002, Series of 2023,
21:33those who stand in the parking lot to reserve will be fined P1,000 or an 8-hour community service.
21:42According to the MMDA, the Metro Manila Council will issue a new ordinance for the entire Metro Manila before the expected Christmas rush.
21:51Meanwhile, other motorists are saying that apart from human reserve parking,
21:56there should also be a fine for those who own a vehicle
22:00that puts grass or plants in the driveway so that their vehicle can pass through.
22:05Live from Manila, I'm Jomer Apresto for GMA Integrated News.
22:21Showbiz chika tayo, certified hit internationally,

22:33Among those who reacted, the Latino YouTube creators Herrera Siblings.
22:37Walesca and Efra watched the parody versions of the OPM hits of Bitoy and Bubble Gang members.
22:44The lyrics, moves, and of course, the witty twists in the music videos were on fire.
22:49They couldn't stop jamming to the songs.
