00:00The Bureau of Corrections is now looking at Mary Jane Veloso's record in Indonesia
00:05to find out if she is qualified for the Good Conduct Time Allowance.
00:09Veloso also hopes that she will be given the Executive Clemency of President Bobon Marcos.
00:14Witness, Joseph Moro.
00:19After more than a decade of imprisonment in Indonesia,
00:22Mary Jane Veloso's family does not have a sweet moment
00:27before she entered the Correctional Institution for Women in Mandaluyong.
00:31Even though their reunion was cut off, Mary Jane is still happy that she has a wish to celebrate Christmas.
00:43Mary Jane will be quarantined for five days at the Correctional Reception and Diagnostics Center
00:48before being transferred to a regular cell.
00:50However, they were allowed to celebrate Christmas here together.
00:54If our whole family is allowed to visit, we will exchange gifts.
01:03I am happier now than when my mom visited.
01:07Because now she is closer to us even though we visit her every day.
01:13At the airport, Mary Jane's family will greet her.
01:17Mary Jane!
01:21But when the plane took off on the morning of the 6th,
01:25she suddenly got in the SUV and was not allowed by her parents.
01:29I am very, very sad.
01:31They made my daughter a criminal.
01:34It's not her fault.
01:36Why didn't they show it to us?
01:38We want to hug her.
01:41Me!
01:44Me!
01:46Their family knows through the lawyers that she should not go to the airport
01:54because of security issues and health issues.
01:57That's why the parents and sister of Mary Jane are so close to meet at the Correctional Reception.
02:04After two months, Mary Jane was transferred to Maximum Compound.
02:08For that, she was sentenced to life imprisonment in Indonesia
02:12because of the small amount of heroin used by her refuter in 2010.
02:17According to the Department of Justice, aside from the executive clemency,
02:21Mary Jane Veloso can also receive parole.
02:23A technical working group was established to study this
02:27and to find out if Mary Jane spent more than 14 years in jail in Indonesia
02:32with the help of the GCTA.
02:34That's the beauty of the GCTA.
02:36It doesn't go through the executive department.
02:39Because if it's computed, it's only internal.
02:43In due time, we will be able to know if Mary Jane is qualified for GCTA
02:53and then if there's a GCTA, has she served the minimum.
03:02So that will entitle her for parole.
03:05At our level, we can recommend that.
03:07It's in the hands of the President if he will give her an executive clemency
03:11and release her without condition.
03:13If the President will give an executive clemency,
03:17he will definitely look at the others.
03:19He won't single her out.
03:22It's not like she's in the limelight
03:26and she's the issue in the middle that we're talking about.
03:30For GMA Integrated News, Joseph Morong is your witness.
03:36A man was injured after being raped in a video arcade in Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu.
03:41Witness, Nico Sereno of GMA Regional TV.
03:48The man was almost drowned in his own blood
03:50by a male customer in a video arcade in Barangay Pusok, Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu.
03:55The man was raped by another customer of the establishment.
03:59According to the police,
04:00only one of the victim's drinkers approached him,
04:04the two individuals.
04:06One of the suspect came back.
04:09When he came back, he was carrying a bottle.
04:11He picked up the bottle from the cement.
04:14Maybe he was holding the bottle to pick it up.
04:23According to the owner of the establishment,
04:25the victim and the suspect didn't fight
04:28so they were suddenly raped by the victim.
04:32The victim was immediately taken to the hospital.
04:35There was no altercation.
04:41When he was about to jump, he jumped.
04:49He hit his head.
04:51The police are investigating the CCTV footage from other establishments in the area.
04:56But they confirmed that it was an isolated incident.
04:59The police presence is important.
05:04This is what our director said.
05:06There are times when there are a lot of people drinking,
05:09a lot of parties.
05:10It is our duty to prevent this kind of incident.
05:15For GMA Integrated News,
05:17I am Nico Sereno of GMA Regional TV,
05:20your witness.
05:23In a dialogue between rice millers, traders, importers, and the government,
05:28the millers insisted that they are not responsible for the high price of rice.
05:34In order to help the farmers,
05:36the groups will sell cheaper rice to their families.
05:40Witness, Bernadette Reyes.
05:46In order to lower the price of rice,
05:49the millers, traders, and importers will sell cheaper rice to the farmers.
05:55According to the Center City Rice Mill Owners and Traders Association,
05:59the price of rice is low for wholesalers and retailers.
06:03That is why they can sell rice to the farmers
06:06for P40 to P45 per kilo
06:09so that the buyers can buy.
06:12Let's do P40 first.
06:14If it is sustainable for P30, P36, P38,
06:17we will do it.
06:18We are willing to help the government
06:20so that we can always have low prices of rice for our farmers.
06:25According to the Department of Agriculture,
06:27the rice will be sold through Kadiwa Centers
06:30in an easier time so that it can help during Christmas.
06:34At the same time,
06:35the Bureau of Customs announced
06:37that they will open the warehouses that were once closed in Bulacan.
06:42The BOC gave 15 days for the closed warehouses
06:45so that documents can be submitted.
06:47They are investigating the high price of rice
06:51and smuggling allegations.
06:53We served the warrant.
06:55We are looking for proof of payment of duties.
06:57In the meantime,
06:58since our country needs the supply,
07:01the cheap supply of rice,
07:03we will open it
07:04and I will monitor the output of rice from their warehouses.
07:09For GMA Integrated News,
07:11I am Bernadette Reyes,
07:12your witness.
07:15The BOC has investigated
07:17the 6 remaining cases against Coco Levy
07:20that were filed against former President Ferdinand Marcos Sr.,
07:23former First Lady Imelda Marcos,
07:25and others.
07:26Witness,
07:27Marie Zumali.
07:32The BOC has investigated
07:34the last 6 remaining cases
07:37against Coco Levy Funds
07:42against the Marcos family and other personalities.
07:45In the 42-page resolution of Sandigan Bayan,
07:48the cases were investigated
07:50against the former President Ferdinand Marcos Sr.,
07:53former First Lady Imelda Marcos,
07:55former Senator
07:56and the current Chief Presidential Legal Counsel,
07:58Juan Ponce Enrile,
08:00the owners of Maria Clara Lobregat,
08:02Jesus Pineda,
08:03and Cesar Zalamea.
08:05This is due to the inordinate delay
08:07or excessive delay of hearings
08:09that violated their rights
08:11for a quick litigation.
08:13The prosecution said that
08:15evidence and witnesses
08:17would be filed from one more case
08:19almost four decades ago.
08:21There were also many pleadings
08:23for an irrefutable exception
08:25to the hearings.
08:26Because of this,
08:27all the civil cases
08:29against the Marcos family
08:31will be removed
08:32in order to get back
08:33the illegal funds that they obtained
08:35through the Coco Levy Fund.
08:37The PCGG refused to answer
08:39on the merits of the case
08:41because it is against the sub judice rule.
08:43But despite the garbage,
08:45the Presidential Commission on Good Government
08:47or PCGG did not give up.
08:49They will sign a motion for reconsideration
08:51in Sandigan Bayan,
08:53and if it is still not given,
08:55they will file a case with the Supreme Court
08:57to question the decision
08:59of the Anti-Graft Court.
09:01The dismissal is with respect
09:03to certain individuals.
09:05But there are other defendants
09:07in the case.
09:09We are confident that we can still
09:11prove the other allegations
09:13in our complaint despite
09:15the dismissal of the case
09:17with respect to certain defendants.
09:19We are looking at
09:21certain angles
09:23which we will try to study
09:25and argue
09:27before
09:29before the Supreme Court
09:31if the opportunity
09:33presents itself.
09:35In another text message,
09:37Solicitor General Menabdo Guevara said
09:39that they are already consulting
09:41the PCGG on their next legal step.
09:43For GMA Integrated News,
09:45Maris Umali is your witness.
09:49Two students fell in the river
09:51while crossing Barangay Picchon
09:53in Caragat, Davao Oriental.
09:59Oh my God!
10:01Oh my God!
10:03The river was flooded
10:05so the crossing was stopped
10:07in August.
10:09A student and a man
10:11were holding each other.
10:13But the other student was completely
10:15stopped in August.
10:17Fortunately, he was in the lower part of the river
10:19and they were all safe.
10:21Some trees fell
10:23in the town of Boston
10:25because of the bad weather.
10:27A student fell in the river
10:29of Bahay Casunon in Pagulan
10:31while crossing Andaya Highway
10:33in Lupi, Camarines Sur.
10:35Unfortunately,
10:37Baguio, Quirobid
10:39which is now a low-pressure area
10:41was flooded in Visayas and Mindanao
10:43as well as in Quezon Province
10:45which was affected by the shear line.
