00:00Not only the church, but also the suspect who always goes to the church in Tondo, Manila,
00:06was timed in the mass collection of the crime to the victim, the owner or the collector of the alley,
00:11who was stabbed by Nico Wahe.
00:18This was caught inside the usher room of the Santo Nino Church in Tondo, Manila on Sunday night.
00:23When one of the ushers left, this woman entered the room, as if she was surveying the place.
00:29She picked up a bag, but it was let go.
00:32She walked happily, but she also came back.
00:35She picked up the bag that she was holding first,
00:38and a few seconds later, she came back and picked up another bag.
00:45In another CCTV footage, the woman who was driving the jeep was seen leaving.
00:50One of the owners of the bag was the usher or the collector of the alley in the church,
00:54Connie Branzuela.
00:56Her bag contained Php 5,000.
00:59When we were about to leave, all of us came out.
01:01She just entered the room.
01:03When we were about to leave, she was the one who was looking for the bag.
01:06Why did my bag and the bag that I was holding go missing?
01:09According to the victim, the suspect seemed to be aware of her actions
01:13because she was really timed in the mass collection.
01:16By the way, she's always in the church, praying and worshipping.
01:20She's just quiet. She just enters the room.
01:23When people are going out, she will accompany us.
01:26When we are having a snack, she will ask for it.
01:29We will give it to her.
01:30Yes, we will give it to her.
01:32The police immediately did a backtracking to catch the suspect.
01:36Her worshipping is part of her plan to make the people in the church pay first before she steals.
01:44According to the Manila Police District,
01:46this is not the first time that the suspect was caught stealing.
01:50She's really going back and forth in prison.
01:53A while ago, the victim and the suspect were in front of the precinct.
01:56I hope that you won't do it again.
01:58God has a way.
02:00If you are armed, it's not good.
02:02It's really bad in the church.
02:05I'm sorry. I won't do it again.
02:07I'm sorry for what I did to you.
02:10I promise you, I won't do it again.
02:13I also don't want to do it to you.
02:16I'm sorry for what I did to you.
02:18I won't do it again.
02:21The suspect will be fined for theft.
02:24Her thefts were not repaid for the groceries she stole.
02:28For the GMA Integrated News, Nico Juaje for Tutok 24 Horas.
02:34Vice President Sara Duterte can be held accountable for the complaints of plunder or technical malversation
02:42regarding the use of her confidential funds.
02:46According to some law enforcement officers,
02:48after being told by the vice president that they are just following their boss' orders
02:54regarding the distribution of funds.
02:57Jonathan Andal is on the case.
03:03Gina Acosta, the special disbursement officer of the Office of the Vice President,
03:07is the special disbursement officer of the Office of the Vice President.
03:10In the middle of this, she was asked by members of the House Good Government and Public Accountability Committee
03:16who are investigating the confidential funds of Vice President Sara Duterte.
03:20I'm listening, ma'am.
03:22Why are you listening?
03:24Because I really don't know who Kukoy Villamin and Grace Piatos are.
03:35Because Sir Lachika is the one on the ground.
03:39He is the one who is preparing.
03:41I just did my makeup.
03:43He told me that the announcement was reset, ma'am.
03:48But ma'am, that's your job as a special disbursement officer.
03:54Yes, ma'am.
03:55But my boss has an order, ma'am.
03:58I released it to Sir Lachika, ma'am.
04:01Vice President Duterte ordered her to give P125 million pesos to a Colonel Lachika
04:08who is a member of the VPSPG or the Vice Presidential Security and Protection Group.
04:13But congressmen are wondering why a colonel will be given confidential funds.
04:19Because Ma'am Inday Sara has an order to release it to her.
04:24Because she is the one who knows how to implement the programs and activities in line with the confidential funds.
04:34She is the one who will do the surveillance and monitoring.
04:39I don't know anything about her.
04:41As for the DepEd, the former disbursement officer Edward Fajarda,
04:45he promised to give the confidential funds to another Colonel Dennis Nolasco.
04:49But congressmen are saying that it is not right that the disbursement officer is not the one who is giving the confidential funds.
04:57In the end, it is a command responsibility.
05:01And we can see that all of them are just following the orders of our Vice President.
05:12So in the end, if there is a violation of the law,
05:17if there is someone who needs to be punished,
05:22our Vice President needs to take responsibility for the lack of funds.
05:29That could be malversation proper or worse, plunder.
05:32Because this is more than P50 million.
05:34If you use the budget for others, no matter how lawful it is,
05:39that is technical malversation.
05:42Fajarda's wife, Atty. Sunshine Fajarda, the former DepEd Assistant Secretary,
05:46did not answer to the allegations that she stole an envelope containing P50,000.
05:54Just like the allegation of the former DepEd Undersecretary Gloria Mercado,
05:58who received an envelope containing P50,000 every month.
06:02Is it true that you gave them cash?
06:06There were actually some crimes that were mentioned.
06:09And as such, if I'm going to answer those allegations, Mr. Chair,
06:13respectfully, I would want to answer them in a proper forum,
06:16wherein I will be able to present my defenses based on the completeness of the said allegations, Mr. Chair.
06:21Another confession of Mr. Fajarda,
06:23he was sending money to bank accounts of several DepEd Superintendents,
06:28under the orders of Vice President Duterte.
06:30Also mentioned was Mary Grace Piatos,
06:33who signed several acknowledgement receipts for confidential funds.
06:37But the congressmen doubted if it was a real person.
06:40There is a Piatos with the surname...
06:45Do you know Mary Grace Piatos?
06:48Do you know Mary Grace Piatos?
06:51No, I don't know her, ma'am.
06:55But you said that you are allowed because there is a Piatos with the surname.
06:58Where did you see a Piatos with the surname?
07:02We have one in Davao, ma'am.
07:04The four OVP staff were allowed to go home or were given a furlough
07:08even if they have a contempt order.
07:10They were promised that they will be brought to the next hearing.
07:13Two staff of VP Sara are currently in the hospital,
07:16Gina Acosta and Atty. Zulaika Lopez.
07:18The congressmen said that they are still hoping that the two will be brought
07:22to the next hearing on Friday,
07:24to be the vice president.
07:25For the GMA Integrated News,
07:27Jonathan Andal, 24 Hours.
07:31A man is in jail in a hotel in Caloocan
07:34while his ex-girlfriend is being blackmailed
07:38to spread their private videos and photos.
07:42Jun Veneracion was arrested.
07:44Jun Veneracion.
07:52This man was not allowed to enter a hotel room in Caloocan City.
07:58He was with his ex-girlfriend
08:00who was being blackmailed to show her private videos.
08:04I'm so tired of you.
08:08I don't understand you.
08:10I forced you.
08:12The suspect was arrested because of the victim's complaint
08:15that he was being blackmailed to spread their private videos and photos.
08:19I'm trying to teach him a lesson.
08:22He should pay for what he did so that he won't do it to others.
08:28The suspect and the victim have been in a relationship for two years
08:31and they are working on the same job.
08:33But the suspect went back to his hometown
08:35and that's when the blackmail started.
08:38I told him a lot of problems.
08:41I'm scared.
08:43I can't think properly about my job.
08:45I'm scared.
08:48He might post again.
08:50One of the charges against the suspect
08:53is grave coercion and violation of Republic Act 9995
08:57or Anti-Photo and Voyeurism Act.
08:59It's been 12 to 20 years since the court proved it.
09:02The suspect blames his actions.
09:05If he can, he should forgive me.
09:15In the monitoring of PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group,
09:17the complaint of violation of Anti-Photo and Voyeurism Act
09:21is increasing now in 2024 compared to last year.
09:25Most of the suspects and victims have been in a relationship.
09:28Let us remind that if there is such an activity,
09:32let's not record it through our digital devices.
09:38For GMA Integrated News, June Veneracion, 24 Hours.
09:44Some congressmen are asking for a return
09:48to the executive order to lower the price of rice.
09:52They said that it's unfair to lower the price of rice.
09:56Only the importer is affected.
10:00This is Maki Pulido.
10:05In order to lower the price of rice,
10:07the rice importers were charged last July.
10:10In the executive order of President Marcos,
10:12from 35% rice tariff, it was lowered to 15%.
10:17So the question to the former Quinta Committee
10:19or five committees in the chamber
10:21who joined to investigate the price of food,
10:23why did you only lower the price of rice by a few cents
10:26even though the price of rice in the world market has already dropped?
10:31Why Mr. Chair, according to the PSA,
10:34the price of rice was lowered to only 0.44 cents.
10:39It's like we're being played by hands that haven't seen it yet.
10:46The average price of rice in the market is now 55 pesos per kilo.
10:49According to the PSA,
10:50it's expected that the price of rice will drop by 7 to 10 pesos
10:53if the price of rice is lowered.
10:55That's why the price of rice per kilo is now 41 to 44 pesos.
11:00It depends on where the price of rice is raised.
11:02The landed price is only 38 to 40 pesos
11:05according to the Bureau of Customs.
11:08It also shows that there is no shortage
11:10that can increase the price of rice.
11:13The volume of rice that is being raised has also increased.
11:16But the Department of Agriculture admitted
11:18that it does not force importers to sell their rice
11:21even though it can help lower the price.
11:24Don't you see that as hoarding?
11:27Holding back the 80,000?
11:29Just an example.
11:31With regards to hoarding, I cannot comment.
11:34But we are explaining to them about their utilization.
11:39In the first hearing of the KINTA Committee,
11:41it has not yet been decided
11:42why the price of rice is still high.
11:45But one of the arguments is to repeal the executive order
11:49that is causing the price of imported rice to fall.
11:52It should be reviewed and reversed
11:54because it seems useless to lower the tariff.
11:59Who is benefiting from the tariff reduction?
12:02Is it the importer or is it the consumer?
12:06It's probably the importers.
12:09For GMA Integrated News, Macky Pulido, for 24 Hours.
12:15My fellow countrymen,
12:17even if there is no storm or bad weather,
12:19some parts of the country still need to be prepared for rain.
12:24Like in Mindanao,
12:25which is affected by the Intertropical Convergence Zone or ITCZ.
12:28The ITCZ is formed by thick clouds
12:31from the collision of the wind
12:34from the northwest and southeast of the world.
12:37Northeast Monsuno is also affected by the wind.
12:39It is now affecting the whole Northern Luzon.
12:42Based on the data of Metro Weather,
12:44there is a high chance of rain in Apayau, Cagayan, and Pabuyan Islands.
12:47It is also possible for heavy rain in the Southern Luzon
12:50along with Bicol Region.
12:52There is also rain in Visayas
12:53while the continuous rainfall in Mindanao is wide and heavy.
12:59Residents should be alert
13:00because there is a high risk of landslide.
13:02Here in Metro Manila,
13:03there is a low chance of rain for now
13:05but still monitor in case of thunderstorms.
