00:00Instead of pouring cement on the construction site, the cement truck in Mandawi City, Cebu was carrying it.
00:13The driver did not notice it.
00:15The truck driver also had a problem.
00:18The traffic became heavy due to the incident.
00:21The dispenser asked for the driver who was tied up for various traffic violations.
00:28A huge amount of money was transferred to the vaults in Bagac, Bataan, by the raided BPO.
00:3912 Money Vaults in Central 1, Bataan were opened in accordance with the court's order.
00:45It was witnessed by the Central 1.
00:48According to the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission or PAOC, more than 51 million pesos were transferred to 5 vaults.
00:56There were also 167,000 US Dollars or almost 10 million pesos, as well as some documents.
01:03The money is not included in other currencies such as Malaysian Ringgit and Singapore Dollar.
01:10According to the Central 1's lawyer, the money in the vaults was for the operation of the company.
01:16On the same day of the raid, more than 30 million pesos were also earned from the 2 vaults that were opened.
01:24Mary Jane Veloso is still in jail after 14 years in the death row in Indonesia.
01:32Because there is no death penalty in the Philippines against Veloso for life imprisonment.
01:38This is what her lawyers are appealing.
01:41By Reports' Ivan Maynina.
01:46Mary Jane Veloso will go home to the Philippines.
01:49The OFW who was in the death row in Indonesia for more than a decade.
01:52President Marcos announced this while thanking the new President of Indonesia, Prabowo Subianto.
01:58If you mean my written agreement, there is still no answer.
02:02But they are the first to come to us to talk about this.
02:06So we're extremely confident it will happen.
02:10And certainly our President must be privy of information which will explain his confidence.
02:18Three administrations reached out to bring Veloso home, who was found guilty in the drug trafficking case in 2010.
02:25In April 2015, Veloso was counted as one of the 10 convicts who were kidnapped by the Indonesian authorities.
02:30But this did not continue.
02:31After being called by President Noy Noy Aquino of the Indonesian Foreign Ministry.
02:35Following the surrender of Veloso's recruiter, Christina Serio,
02:39the Philippines entered the Duterte administration.
02:43He said, follow your own laws. I will not interfere.
02:47Indonesia allowed Veloso to testify against Serio and his other recruiter, Julius Lacanilau.
02:54In the presence of President Bongbong Marcos, Veloso's family filed a petition to the Philippines
02:59for the executive clemency and the entrance of the new Indonesian President.
03:03Indonesia is formulating a policy of transfer of foreign persons to their host countries.
03:15Indonesia itself has a law which will take effect in 2026 about what in effect would be,
03:27if not necessarily the abolition of the death penalty, but some sort of informal non-implementation of the death penalty.
03:40According to the DFA, Indonesia has no alternative in the Philippines.
03:43In his return to the country, in the prison where Veloso is being sentenced.
03:46He will just continue his sentence.
03:49The most important aspect of this all is the difference in our laws.
03:54There, they allowed the death penalty. Here, we don't have a death sentence.
03:57He is a brother of Indonesia.
03:59Therefore, according to the Law and Human Rights Ministry of Indonesia,
04:02life imprisonment will be the sentence of Veloso.
04:05The government of the Philippines will decide where to bring Veloso.
04:08But what the lawyers of Mary Jane want,
04:14Indonesia said that it is in the power of President Marcos to forgive Veloso.
04:18Veloso's family is very thankful that he can go home.
04:21For a long time, God has listened to our prayers.
04:26I hope that Mary Jane can go home.
04:30Ivan Mayrena reporting for GMA Integrated News.
04:36U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin III said that there are American soldiers deployed in the U.S. Task Force Ayungin.
04:43In his post in X, he said that he visited the Command and Control Fusion Center in Palawan yesterday.
04:50He talked and thanked the American soldiers deployed in the U.S. Task Force Ayungin.
04:58According to the AFP Public Affairs Office, the U.S. Troops in Palawan are providing technical assistance.
05:04This might help in the maritime domain awareness,
05:07which is important in programs to protect the interests of the Philippines in the West Philippine Sea.
05:15The Chief of Staff, Vice President Sara Duterte, Undersecretary Zulaika Lopez,
05:22will remain in the detention facility of the Camera until Monday.
05:27He was tempted by the House Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability because of his lack of knowledge in listening.
05:34It came out in the hearing that Lopez wrote to the Commission on Audit
05:39that the Commission on Audit should not follow the orders of the Camera to submit audit reports on the confidential funds of the OVP.
05:45Lopez confirmed the letters and Duterte said he knows about it.
05:50They requested it because the investigation is still ongoing.
05:53He also said he does not know about the disbursement and use of the confidential funds.
05:58The two so-called Acknowledgement Receipts submitted by the OVP and the DepEd were also included in the hearing.
06:06Both were signed by a Kokoy Villamil in the receipts, but they are different.
06:11VP Sara said that she is not sure about the hearing.
06:15She has not seen the receipts requested.
06:18It depends on the outcome of the situation if she will attend the next hearing.
06:25It's sufficient though that they did not accept it.
06:27I did not say anything. I did not even try to make an opinion.
06:32They are just far from being handicapped.
06:34They are just far from being handicapped.
06:37They are just far from being handicapped.
06:42Some places in the north are still flooded because of the rising cases of dengue and leptospirosis.
06:48In Catanduanes, some people were able to survive thanks to the materials collected from those who donated houses to rebuild Masisilungan.
06:58Joseph Moro has a report.
07:03Residents are waiting for help to join our team in Barangay Baybay, Caramoran, Catanduanes.

07:17The town of San Andres is also flooded.
07:20Landslides are everywhere.

08:21According to the NDRMC, more than P1.5 billion pesos were lost
08:25in the infrastructure caused by the effects of the Nica, Ophel, and Pepito floods.
08:31More than P8 million pesos were lost in agriculture.
08:36Joseph Morong is reporting for GMA Integrated News.
08:41The presence of dams or molds should not be neglected in the parts and materials in houses.
08:48It can lead to difficulty in breathing and other health problems.
08:53This is the FITRAC report from Katrina Son.
09:04And sometimes, it's hard to breathe.
09:06Mei Takida and her children experienced this in Japan
09:11when she told her brother and sister-in-law why she got sick.
09:16She said, check if there are molds in your house.
09:20Lian Yumilaunyo's son,
09:23while at the study table, he said it was because of the flood.
09:28It's just a simple cleaning.
09:31All of the molds, I cleaned the vinegar.
09:35I just put it in a spray bottle.
09:38According to a doctor, the flood in the house should not be neglected.
09:42Allergic rhinitis can be triggered by molds.
09:45You can also have coughing or wheezing and sore throat.
09:49Flood can also cause nausea,
09:53nausea, and be prone to immunocompromised conditions.
09:59You can also have chronic pulmonary aspergillosis.
10:03This can cause breathing problems, weakening of the body, and unexplained weight loss.
10:08Floods increase when it's cold, rainy, and when the house is flooded.
10:13If the house is not properly ventilated, that's when the molds attack.
10:17Aside from places that get wet, like the kitchen,
10:21there can also be floods in the bed and blanket.
10:24Any part of our house can have molds or the so-called flood.
10:31Just like this blanket that was not checked,
10:33that's why there was a flood.
10:36That's why it's better to check these so that the mold or flood can be avoided.
10:42It can be prevented from floods if the cleaning is regular.
10:46We need to open all the windows and windows
10:49so that the fresh air can enter.
10:53We will vacuum it so that the small particles can seep in.
11:00Then we will scrub it with a sponge or a scrubbing pad with non-necessary chemicals.
11:09We will do it in a circular motion and when it's okay,
11:14we will rinse it with water and dry wet.
