NewsTranscript
00:00Even though the invitation was personally accepted, Vice President Sara Duterte did not plan to go to the camera to hear about the confidential funds of her appointment.
00:10Witness, Marisol Abdurrahman.
00:17Not an hour after arriving at the camera this Wednesday, Vice President Sara Duterte met former President Rodrigo Duterte while her father was in jail
00:26in a Quadcom hearing about the war on drugs.
00:29At the end of more than half a day of hearing, former President Duterte asked Vice President Sara Duterte.
00:34She said, how was my performance? And I said, best dramatic actor.
00:40Vice President Sara Duterte did not speak during the hearing.
00:43But what she can say now, in the Quadcom hearing, she cannot understand the rules used.
00:49They use inquiry and investigation interchangeably.
00:53So you don't know if it's an inquiry, you're a research person, if it's an investigation, you're a witness or an accused.
01:00The Quadcommittee of the Camera did not respond to that.
01:03Her day started at 6 a.m. and it was around 10.30 p.m.
01:09She said that maybe it was low blood sugar.
01:12So I couldn't eat.
01:14I asked her to excuse herself, but she didn't want to.
01:19But she believed when we told her to eat first.
01:24According to what former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV said about Duterte's money bank accounts,
01:30Vice President Duterte went to all the banks one by one and asked for the accounts that have his name on them.
01:37I asked the banks why they have this.
01:40They said that those accounts might be non-existent.
01:44So I have the accounting, even the transactions that they're saying, I also asked the banks.
01:54She also agreed to accept the invitation for a separate hearing with the OVP Confidential Fund.
02:03Vice President Duterte said that she will not attend the invitation of the House Committee on Good Government and Accountability.
02:08But they plan to send a letter to the committee.
02:12We plan to say why, and then I plan as well to submit an affidavit about the confidential funds.
02:20That affidavit is also under oath.
02:22They only invited me once for the first time.
02:25I went there, I sat there.
02:28They didn't ask me.
02:30If you can see, I was just sitting there.
02:33I was wasting my time, so I apologized if I can leave.
02:38They allowed me to leave.
02:39According to the House Committee on Good Government Chair, Congressman Joel Chua,
02:44VP Sara was given the opportunity to clarify the use of the OVP by the government fund,
02:49particularly the confidential funds.
02:51They also said that they sent an invitation for a second hearing,
02:56and the following hearings were rejected.
02:59The committee will only study the affidavit submitted by VP Sara.
03:03But they would like her to face the personnel.
03:07For GMA Integrated News, Marisol Abduraman is your witness.
03:15A forced evacuation was carried out in some parts of Camarines Norte and Quezon Province
03:19as part of the preparation for the Pepito Flood.
03:21There are landslides in some areas near the sea.
03:26Witness, Sandra Aguinaldo.
03:28Sandra?
03:30Yes, Pia. The Diet Local Government is still preparing for the arrival of the Pepito Flood.
03:38Earlier, they carried out a forced evacuation.
03:42That's why there are families here who are already in evacuation centers.
03:46They will be evacuated tonight.
03:49In order to survive, 80 families were evacuated from the coast of Camarines Norte.
03:59The local government carried out a forced evacuation in some barangays there, according to the MDRRMO.
04:06Residents were evacuated due to a storm surge or flood,
04:12which could reach two to three meters in the next two days.
04:17But since it's already night, they will continue the evacuation tomorrow.
04:22In Catanduana, the storm is expected to hit early tomorrow night or Sunday.
04:28But it's possible that the Pepito Flood will hit Camarines Norte
04:32and enter the Cone of Probability or Uncertainty of the storm.
04:37The Office of Civil Defense 5 is also busy preparing,
04:42especially that the whole Bicol Region will be affected by the Pepito Flood.
04:46The width of this storm is 500 kilometers according to the forecast.
04:52So we are preparing.
04:54Our DSWD immediately after the christening, they replenished the family food packs.
05:03Today, there are eight packs of DSWD family food packs from the Visayas
05:10that will be brought here to Bicol to be replenished.
05:16I am reminding you to be prepared and to be careful of the upcoming Pepito Flood.
05:21The Philippine Coast Guard also visited the residents near the sea in Lucena City, Quezon,
05:29regarding the upcoming Pepito Flood.
05:31Like in Barangay Dalahican, where residents are used to strong storms.
05:38Our house here was washed out because of the sea.
05:41The fishermen removed their boats from the sea so that it won't be damaged.
05:47The other residents are also preparing for the storm.
05:50Our clothes are ready.
05:52Earlier this morning, I also lifted our equipment that can withstand the storm.
05:57What will you do to your family?
05:59That's it. Let my sister stay with me. I will accompany her to Laguna.
06:05Responders in Laluigan are also preparing the equipment for the evacuation center.
06:11As a precaution, the Governor of Quezon ordered the local disaster risk reduction and management office
06:19to conduct a pre-emptive and forced evacuation in areas with high flood risks,
06:25landslides, and landslides, and if there are residents who will not comply with the evacuation.
06:31The PNP and the Army were also taken care of in ensuring a forced evacuation for our countrymen who will not comply.
06:38In the press briefing earlier at the NDRRMC, the President also ordered the immediate evacuation of people
06:47from areas affected by the storm surge.
06:50It seems to be a significant one because if we're talking about three meters, that's almost one floor.
06:56So we really need to be careful with the LGUs.
07:02The President also ordered the DILG to inform the local government as a preparation for the effects of the storm.
07:10Emergency vehicles, heavy equipment, rubber boats, and air assets of the government should also be deployed
07:17in areas affected by the storm.
07:20Pia, the residents here are still fresh in their memories of the storm, Christine, and Ulysses in 2020.
07:32That's why we have our fellow countrymen here who are really prepared.
07:35There's a big grocery store here. I saw earlier that there's almost no bread left.
07:40There are also cats that were evacuated.
07:43In fact, Pia, the hotels here are full.
07:47That's all for now. I'm Sandra Aguinaldo, your witness.
08:17The other part of Bicol can also hit Camarinasurf, Albay, or Sorsogon.
08:23There's also a chance that it will come down a bit, and if that happens, it's possible that it will hit Northern Samar
08:29tomorrow afternoon or evening.
08:31And if it rises, it can also landfall on the eastern coast of Quezon or Aurora.
08:37And wherever it continues, a storm will pass near Bicol Region, Quezon, Santa Luzon, and Pangasinan this weekend.
08:45On Sunday night or Monday morning, it's possible that it will be in the West Philippine Sea.
08:50For now, Signal No. 2 is rising in the eastern part of Northern Samar,
08:55the northern part of Eastern Samar, and the northern part of Samar Province.
09:00Signal No. 1 is rising in some parts of Luzon, particularly in Aurora, Quezon, the eastern part of Laguna,
09:06Marinduque, and Camarinas Norte.
09:09It's also the same in Camarinas Sur, Catanduanes, Albay, Sorsogon, and Masbate.
09:15Signal No. 1 is also rising in some parts of Visayas, such as the northern part of Northern Samar,
09:19the eastern part of Eastern Samar, the northern part of Samar Province, and in Biliran.
09:25Some parts of Luzon and Visayas will also be rainy this weekend.
09:30And based on the rainfall outlook of Pagasa, expect moderate to heavy rains until tomorrow
09:34in Sorsogon, Northern Samar, and Eastern Samar.
09:38And tomorrow afternoon until Sunday afternoon,
09:40it's possible to experience intense to torrential rains in Camarinas Norte, Camarinas Sur,
09:46Catanduanes, Albay, and Sorsogon.
09:49Heavy to intense rains are expected in Aurora, Quezon Province, Masbate, Northern Samar, and Eastern Samar.
09:56While moderate to heavy rains are possible to experience in Metro Manila, Pampanga, Bulacan, Bataan,
10:02Kalabarzon, Marinduque, Romblon, Biliran, Samar, and Leyte are some of the remaining areas.
10:09While the off-season storm is still weakening and has already left the Philippine Area of Responsibility earlier this afternoon.
10:16But just a while ago, Pagasa said that it will return
10:19within the PAR and the last 235 kilometers west-northwest of Itbayat, Batanes.
10:2880,000 passengers are expected to be added to the capacity of the LRT 1
10:32on the opening of its five new stations.
10:35Joseph Moro is a witness.
10:40A faster and more convenient flight to the PTEX and airport.
10:44Five new stations will be added to the LRT Line 1 starting tomorrow.
10:49The Redemptory Station, which is close to the Office of the Department of Foreign Affairs,
10:52where the passport will be applied.
10:54MIA Station, which is close to Domestic Road and IA Terminal 2.
10:58PTEX Asia World Station, where there is a walkway to cross the PTEX,
11:02which is followed by Ninoy Aquino Avenue Station and Dr. Santos Station in Paranaque.
11:07This is the fourth generation train set of the LRT.
11:12And this is the type of train that will be on the LRT Phase 1 of the LRT Cavite Extension starting tomorrow.
11:23The fare from Fernando Pau Jr. Station in Quezon City to Dr. Santos Station is P45.
11:30The first trip is at 4.30 a.m. on weekdays, 5 a.m. on weekends and holidays.
11:35The last trip to Dr. Santos is at 10 p.m. on weekdays and 9.30 p.m. on weekends.
11:41The last trip to FPJ Station is at 10.15 p.m. on weekdays and 9.45 p.m. on weekends.
11:47Especially during the Christmas season, as you mentioned,
11:50their trips will surely be faster.
11:54There are three more stations that are scheduled for the LRT Line 1, one in Las Piñas and two in Cavite due to the issue of right-of-way.
12:01But once LRMC and DOTR approve it, the project will be completed.
12:06Aside from the LRT Cavite Extension, other railway projects such as the Unified Grand Central Station,
12:12Metro Manila Subway Project, MRT 7, North-South Commuter Railway, PNR South Long Haul, and others.
12:18President Marcos also said that this will not be completed on his term.
12:22The issues on road right-of-way must be resolved fast and disputes must not hinder work.
12:29The Public-Private Partnership or PPP hybrid model on L1C serves as a perfect template for future investment.
12:37For JMA Integrated News, Joseph Morong. Good luck.
12:42Today is Payday Friday.
12:43Christmas shopping for many of our Kapuso was held early at Noel Bazaar in Paranaque City.
12:49Noel Bazaar will help the beneficiaries of the JMA Kapuso Foundation.
12:54They will be the ones affected by the next typhoon.
12:58Mark Salazar is the witness.
13:03At the initiative of the JMA Kapuso Foundation and its partners,
13:07Noel Bazaar was opened for a more special and timely mission.
13:12The next typhoons left and will leave many people in need of help.
13:20And every sale of Noel Bazaar will go to the beneficiaries of the Kapuso Foundation.
13:26Last year, there were typhoons that hit the town.
13:33We are thankful to everyone who supported Noel Bazaar
13:39because this is the time that we really need the support of all our Kapabayan
13:43so that we can help out those who are badly hit by the typhoons.
14:09Oh, a lot.
14:11Yes, because a lot of people are helping us.
14:16Yes, family.
14:18Yes, even the church.
14:21The gift, there's no price for it.
14:23Actually, it should come from the heart.
14:26But if you ask about the price,
14:30I think you should have at least P5,000.
14:34They need that. They use it on a daily basis.
14:38I think we should base it on his personality.
14:40If we base it on his personality, we can find the right gift for him.
14:47For GMA Integrated News, I am Mark Salazar, your witness.
