00:00Welcome back to our show!
00:16Less than a week before Christmas,
00:18some trips to Bicol are already fully booked.
00:21Some even went home early.
00:23Calvaryo is the one that some motorists and travelers experienced
00:26because of the heavy traffic in Camarines Sur.
00:29Let's hear from James Agustin.
00:34There are already many fully booked air-conditioned buses to Bicol
00:37at this terminal in Cobau, Quezon City.
00:40For example, to Camarines Norte,
00:42which is already fully booked from today until December 30.
00:46There are also many trips to Legazpi,
00:48from tomorrow until December 29.
00:50There are already many, sir,
00:51because we opened a reservation on November 15.
00:56That's why there are already many people who reserved.
00:58Those who don't have a reservation,
00:59they can ride first-come-first-served in an ordinary bus only.
01:03It is expected that the trip will be longer
01:05because only one lane is used in the Andaya Highway in Camarines Sur,
01:09which is affected by heavy rain.
01:11The traffic is slow there.
01:14It has a big effect, sir,
01:15because the trip takes longer there.
01:19Instead of making the trip faster,
01:21it takes longer because there is too much traffic.
01:24Sir, there is one-way,
01:26and there is a road where there is no ground beneath,
01:31which is affected by heavy rain.
01:36Robert and his family were born early in the bus terminal.
01:39They will celebrate Christmas in Naga soon.
01:42We are avoiding many people
01:46because we are celebrating Christmas.
01:48We will be together there,
01:50especially during Christmas.
01:52Are you excited for Christmas?
01:53Yes, sir.
01:54Ms. Eden arrived at the bus terminal from Camarines Norte.
01:59She insisted on a one-week vacation.
02:01She was the first to celebrate Christmas with her children
02:04because she still has a job here in Metro Manila.
02:07The trip is tight.
02:09There are too many passengers.
02:13My daughter-in-law gave birth,
02:15so I went home.
02:16At this bus terminal,
02:18passengers are expected to arrive tomorrow until the weekend.
02:21They added more trips to Bulacan and Nueva Ecija.
02:25Marifeka's OFW will arrive in the country on December 14
02:29from Saudi Arabia.
02:30She will celebrate Christmas in Nueva Ecija
02:33with her entire family
02:35after three years.
02:37I'm excited.
02:40Of course,
02:41I left my children when they were still young.
02:44Now, they are grown-ups
02:47and there is a traffic jam
02:49so they can arrive early.
02:52James Agustin is reporting for JMA Integrated News.
03:00Dear listeners,
03:01Humina is a low-pressure area
03:03during the previous typhoon in the Caribbean.
03:05Last night,
03:06the LPA forecasted to reach 245 kilometers
03:09in Surigao City.
03:11Despite that,
03:12LPAs in Visayas and Mindanao will continue to rain.
03:15The Khezon and Bicol regions will be affected
03:19as the rain falls in the deep parts of Luzon
03:22and Metro Manila.
03:24This Thursday,
03:25intense rains will be experienced
03:29in Sorsogon,
03:30Northern Samar,
03:32Eastern Samar,
03:33Samar,
03:34Biliran,
03:35Leyte,
03:36Southern Leyte,
03:37Dinagat Islands,
03:38and Surigao del Norte.
03:40Residents are being warned
03:42against flooding or landslides.
03:44Expect strong rains in Khezon,
03:48Bicol,
03:50Central Visayas,
03:52and Mindanao.
03:53The minimum temperature in Baguio City
03:56fell to 15 degrees Celsius today
04:00while 25.1 degrees Celsius here in Khezon City.
04:06Some areas in Khezon were flooded
04:08due to the continuous rain.
04:10Aside from flooding,
04:11residents also have a problem with thick puddles.
04:14Residents called the local government
04:16to solve the problem
04:18by always flooding.
04:20In Timona,
04:21MDRRMO is monitoring the rivers
04:23that are about to overflow
04:25and possibly flood.
04:27According to the government,
04:28it is Shirline that is flooding the province.
04:36The Bureau of Corrections will study
04:38if it is possible to include
04:40more than 14 years of imprisonment
04:42of Mary Jane Veloso in Indonesia
04:44by computing her Good Conduct Time Allowance
04:47or GCTA.
04:48Under the GCTA,
04:50the length of imprisonment
04:52of a PDOV-EDL can be reduced
04:55if it has a good record.
04:57This is also one of the reasons
04:59for giving parole or release
05:01to a PDL
05:02that already served its minimum sentence.
05:05Aside from parole,
05:07another way to release Veloso
05:09according to the Department of Justice
05:11is the Executive Clemency
05:13that only the President can give.
05:16According to Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin,
05:18there is no decision yet
05:20regarding this issue
05:21but they are already studying it.
05:24Veloso is currently in the Correctional Institution for Women
05:27where she will remain for two months
05:30before being transferred to the Maximum Compound.
05:35In other news,
05:36a body of a man was found
05:39in the river in Antipolo City.
05:41According to the mother of the victim,
05:42she was drinking with her co-workers
05:45before she passed away.
05:47EJ Gomez reports.
05:50Some residents noticed
05:52a strange thing
05:54in the morning of December 10
05:56in the river in Sitio Sagipin,
05:58Barangay de la Paz, Antipolo City.
06:00They went to the barangay
06:02and immediately responded.
06:04I saw people
06:06staring at the man.
06:09I think it was just a mannequin.
06:12In the video taken by one of the residents,
06:15a man was seen pulling a mannequin.
06:18It's a person.
06:20It's a person.
06:23It's a person not a mannequin.

06:27It's a person.

06:42The victim, Melvin Restre,
06:44was identified as the victim.
06:46Melvin Restre, a 26-year-old construction worker, was found dead.
06:50According to the victim's mother, her son was last seen in the morning of December 8.
06:55She said she said goodbye and that she will drink with her co-workers.
06:59He didn't come back. I thought he was in the barracks.
07:05He was found dead in the river.
07:12His face was unrecognizable.
07:14But he was wearing a police uniform.
07:17That's all I know.
07:19He was also found dead on his feet.
07:23He added,
07:25He didn't fight.
07:27He didn't shout.
07:29I called him.
07:34He surrendered what he did to him.
07:39No matter what happened.
07:41Authorities are still investigating the incident.
07:44They are also backtracking the local CCTVs
07:47to find out the possible cause of the victim's death.
07:52EJ Gomez, reporting for GMA Integrated News.
08:00The overall champion is the Philippine jet ski racer Anton Ignacio
08:04in the World Grand Prix No. 1 Water Jet World Series 2024.
08:08He is also in the Expert Runabout 1,100 Stock category.
08:12Anton won three series of competitions in Poland, America, and Thailand.
08:18His silver medal was the latest in the three rounds held in Thailand this week.
08:23Congratulations, Anton, and good job!
08:28Some of the cars that were involved in the riot were 20 young men from Sampaloc, Manila.
08:33Some of them were from Parao in Simbang Gabi.
08:37Let's hear from Jomar Apresto.
08:43You'd think that these young men were just playing
08:46in the area of Lackson Avenue in Sampaloc, Manila.
08:49But suddenly, a Molotov cocktail exploded on one of them
08:53and on the other.
08:55According to the barangay,
08:57there were 20 young men from the area involved in the riot.
09:01The riot gang war is our assessment on them.
09:05There were 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 young men.
09:08Some of them were from Simbang Gabi.
09:10Some of the cars were hit by rocks.
09:13Some of the parents of the young men asked the barangay to help them.
09:17But this parent said that his son was already in jail
09:22and that they will not pay for the damage done to the car of our barangay.
09:29The senior citizen, Mr. Albert Dao,
09:31often cleans the debris left by the rioters.
09:50According to the barangay,
09:51there were policemen and their men who were guarding the area.
09:54But the young men were just playing when there were no guards.
09:58Meanwhile, in Manila Police District,
10:00they immediately responded to the news of the incident.
10:11Some of the young men involved in the riot
10:14were turned over to the Manila Department of Social Welfare.
10:17While others were returned to their parents.
10:20According to the law,
10:22minors cannot file a complaint.
10:24Their parents are the ones who can face the consequences.
10:28Under the Manila City Ordinance No. 8243,
10:31or the Anti-Child Endangerment Act,
10:33parents can be jailed for up to 6 months
10:37depending on the age of their children.
10:40There is a fine of Php 2,000 up to Php 5,000.
10:43Let's not wait for something bad to happen to your children.

15:18as well as the Reparation of Pagubayat
15:20to the Children of Victims of Extrajudicial Killings,
15:23are also being discussed in the House.
15:25Here is my report.
15:30Like the complaint filed in the International Criminal Court,
15:33crimes against humanity
15:35were recommended by former President Rodrigo Duterte,
15:38Senator Bong Go, Senator Bato de la Rosa, and others.
15:41This is included in the 43-page report
15:44of the House Quad Committee
15:46on Illegal Drugs and Illegal Pogo Operations in the country
15:49of the previous Administration.

16:54including former Mayor Alice Guo
16:56and former Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque.
16:59This is a defining moment for this Congress, Mr. Speaker.
17:03It is an opportunity to uphold the rule of law,
17:06protect our nation's sovereignty,
17:08and deliver justice to those who have been wronged.

17:33will be granted to victims and their families
17:36to be determined by the Extra Judicial Killing Claims Board

18:07He is ready to face the claims.
18:09This is one of the barriers between the Dutertes
18:11and their allies.
18:13He has great trust in our courts
18:15and he will still uphold justice.
18:18We are still trying to get the money
18:20of the former President Duterte
18:21and we are still looking for other possible issues.
18:24Raffy Tima reporting for GMA Integrated News.
18:28Davao City First District Representative Paulo Duterte
18:32was also included in the House Squad Committee
18:35due to his involvement in drug smuggling.
18:38Congressman Duterte replied
18:40that he is open to a fair investigation
18:43because he is not hiding anything.
18:45However, any investigation should be based
18:48on solid evidence
18:50and not on questionable testimonies
18:53like the former Customs Officer Jimmy Guban.
18:56In the Quadcom hearing on August 16,
18:59Guban said that Congressman Duterte
19:02is one of the real owners
19:04of the 6.8 billion peso shabu shipment
19:07that was in Bat in 2018.
19:09Congressman Duterte filed a perjury complaint
19:12against Guban online.
19:15GMA Integrated News is also trying
19:17to get the statement of another personality
19:20that is included in the Quadcom recommendation.
19:27For those who are planning to make Leche Flan
19:30at Iba Pangpang Himanga in Noche Buena,
19:32the budget for eggs is now ready.
19:34For now, the price will be low
19:37because the supply is still enough
19:39like some stores in Marikina Public Market.
19:42But as Christmas approaches,
19:44the price of eggs is also expected to rise
19:47according to the Philippine Egg Board Association.
19:50In Marikina Market,
19:51each piece of extra small egg is 7 pesos,
19:55while 11 pesos is the biggest or the jumbo
19:59210 to 285 pesos per tray
20:04depending on the size of the egg.
20:06In other stores in Metro Manila,
20:08you can buy a peewee egg for 6 pesos and 50 centavos
20:12up to 8 pesos per piece.
20:149 to 10 pesos per piece is the jumbo size.
20:18Brown eggs are more expensive.
20:217 to 13 pesos per piece
20:25depending on medium, large, or extra large.
20:30Let's update on the traffic situation in Metro Manila
20:33six days before Christmas.
20:35Let's talk to the Director for Traffic Enforcement Group
20:37of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority,
20:40Atty. Vic Nunez.
20:42Welcome to Balitang Hali, Atty.
20:45Yes, good afternoon, Sir Rafi,
20:47and good afternoon to all of your viewers.
20:50Last weekend before Christmas,
20:52how is the traffic on the main roads here in Metro Manila?
20:56Yes, Sir Rafi, we're expecting
20:59this Thursday, Friday, and Saturday
21:02that the volume of vehicles will increase.
21:07And this is the time when many people
21:12will return to their provinces.
21:14The piers, provincial bus terminals,
21:19and even airports are already full.
21:21So, we're expecting that.
21:24And the next few days,
21:27mostly, there will be Christmas parties
21:30in different places.
21:32In your observation,
21:33at what time does the traffic
21:35or the whole day become heavy?
21:38Actually, there are light hours,
21:41especially in the morning.
21:42But the peak of traffic
21:44wherein the volume of vehicles is really high,
21:48it would start at 4 p.m.
21:50until 9 to 10 p.m.,
21:53especially in the major toro fairs
21:55along EDSA, C5, Commonwealth.
21:57Are the live lanes still effective?
22:00Yes, it's very efficient
22:03because every day,
22:04we're clearing those alternate roads
22:07so that our major roads won't become heavy.
22:15That's why our special operations group
22:17operate here every morning until afternoon
22:21to encourage our motorists
22:23and our fellow countrymen
22:25to use these alternate roads,
22:29the live lanes,
22:30because most of these live lanes
22:32are leading to big malls
22:34all over Manila,
22:36from Pasay, Paranaque, up to Quezon City.
22:39So, if they know where the live lanes are,
22:43we're clearing them every day,
22:46it will help them more.
22:48Why is the suspension of the Expanded Number Coding Scheme
22:51only for certain days?
22:53Well, as a matter of policy,
22:55MMDA would lift the UVVRP
22:59on regular holidays or special holidays.
23:03December 24, 25, December 30, and 31,
23:08including January 1,
23:11we chose those
23:13because these dates are declared holidays.
23:17And it's hard if we lift that,
23:20that it's not a holiday
23:22because we're also expecting December 22, 23, and 26,
23:26to go back to the provinces
23:28or to send back to the provinces.
23:30It will add to the congestion of traffic
23:34if we still lift the Number Coding Scheme
23:40on these days.
23:41That's why the chairman, Chairman Don Artes,
23:43he's our policeman,
23:45he's the one who declared by our agency
23:48that the coding is lifted on these five days.
23:51Yes. Are there other ways you're looking at
23:53to help with the expansion of the traffic
23:56during these times?
23:57Are you encouraging commuting
23:59to our countrymen,
24:00especially those who only pass through major thoroughfares?
24:03Yes, we can see that many are already
24:06lining up for the bus carousel along EDSA,
24:10MRT, and LRT
24:11because that's still the fastest.
24:15That's why we can see
24:17that those who are lining up for the bus carousel
24:22are waiting in line
24:24because that's still the fastest way
24:29for our public to ride.
24:34So we're encouraging them
24:35instead of using private vehicles,
24:38let's use LRT, MRT, and EDSA bus carousel.
24:44But it's really coming out,
24:46the TSTs first in the coming four days
24:47because it's expected that the traffic will increase.
24:51Yes, Sir Rafi.
24:52That's why we're appealing
24:53that if you can't afford to bring your car,
24:57please plan your travels ahead of time
25:01and apologize
25:03and make sure that your cars,
25:05the vehicles that you're using are roadworthy
25:08because the cars that are being destroyed
25:10are still in the way of our roads.
25:15We have a lot of incidents
25:17that are being monitored
25:18by a lot of stored vehicles
25:19in the major thoroughfares
25:21that also leads to added traffic jam and congestion.
25:25So make sure that all your vehicles,
25:27especially those that are going out of the provinces,
25:31are in good condition.
25:33Thank you very much for your time in Balitang Hali.
25:37Thank you very much, Sir Rafi.
25:39Good morning.
25:41This is Atty. Vic Nunez of MMDA.
25:43Breaking news in Visayas and Mindanao
25:46brought to you by GMA Regional TV.
25:48The typhoon Kirbin has passed,
25:49but it can be felt in some parts of Mindanao.
25:52Sarah, how is the situation there?
25:56Rafi, even though it has passed
25:58as a low-pressure area,
25:59it still rained in some places here in Davao Region
26:02during the previous typhoon Kirbin.
26:04In Panabodabo del Norte,
26:06there was heavy rain on the National Highway last night.
26:10It slowed down the traffic.
26:12Some residents also tried to cross the river.
26:15There is no entrance to all schools
26:18and government offices in Lungsol.
26:20Landslides caused the rain in Barangay Tuburan
26:24in Mawab Davao de Oro.
26:25It also hit the motorists in Aberia.
26:28The road was temporarily closed
26:30for clearing operations.
26:34More than a week after the typhoon struck,
26:3737 evacuees in La Castellana, Negros Occidental,
26:40were affected by the typhoon
26:42because it hit Kinaing, Menudo.
26:45Some of them needed to be taken to the hospital
26:48and dextrose was injected.
26:50The mayor confirmed the incident
26:52and said that the rain came from the donation
26:54of a private group.
26:56Authorities are still investigating the incident
26:59to prevent the LGU from calling for help
27:03to the donation management team
27:06to monitor the donations.
27:10President Bombo Marcos' signature
27:12on the National Budget for 2025
27:14will not be confirmed tomorrow.
27:16According to Malacanang,
27:17there are parts of the budget that were vetoed
27:20or blocked by the President.
27:22This is Mav Gonzalez.
27:27President Bombo Marcos' members
27:29of his Cabinet,
27:30including the Executive Secretary,
27:32secretaries of the Budget, Finance, Public Works,
27:35and National Economic Development Authority,
27:38the PAKSA,
27:39supported the National Budget for 2025.
27:42The budget was supposed to be signed on Friday,
27:44but Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin said
27:47that it will not continue
27:48because it needs time for a thorough review.
27:51It is not yet clear when the budget will be signed,
27:54but Bersamin confirmed that
27:56there are parts that will be vetoed.
27:58The leaders of the House and Senate
28:00have nothing against it
28:01because it is part of the process.
28:03Under Article 6, Section 27 of the 1987 Constitution,
28:07the President has the power to veto
28:10any law passed by the Congress.
28:12Under the Constitution,
28:14the President can veto
28:16particular items or just a part of the budget.
28:18As of now,
28:20in the passed budget
28:21in the Bicameral Conference Committee,
28:23almost Php 215 billion was added
28:26to the budget of the DPWH
28:28compared to what was included
28:29in the National Expenditure Program
28:31or the proposed budget
28:32submitted by the Executive.
28:34More than Php 17 billion was added to the Camera
28:37and more than Php 1 billion was added to the Senate.
28:40Also, more than Php 11 billion was deducted
28:43from the budget of the DepEd
28:44and the removal of the PhilHealth subsidy.
28:47The Php 26 billion budget
28:50for the Ayuda para sa Kapos Ang Kita Program
28:52or ACAP,
28:53was removed from the Senate version
28:55but was returned to the Bicam.
28:57According to the law expert,
28:58Prof. Dan Gatmaitan,
29:00removing a particular item
29:02is what the President can do.
29:04He cannot transfer it
29:05to another part of the budget
29:06that was removed from other programs.
29:08For example,
29:09if the President vetoes the fund for ACAP,
29:11the fund that is included here
29:13cannot be spent
29:14even in other programs.
29:15The money will remain in the National Treasury.
29:18If the PhilHealth budget is vetoed
29:20and the subsidy is zero,
29:21the original allocation of Php 74 billion
29:23will not be returned.
29:25Congress has to respond.
29:27I don't know.
29:28Next time or next year,
29:30they will be more careful
29:31or there will be a need for special appropriations.
29:36Eventually,
29:37if it looks like money is needed
29:39for certain things,
29:40there will be emergency mechanisms.
29:43Under the 1987 Constitution,
29:45the President's veto
29:47can still be overrided
29:48or the Congress' visa will be revoked.
29:50But this has not happened in history
29:52according to Senate Minority Leader Coco Pimentel.
29:55Congress can still insist
29:58that it still needs to be a law.
30:02It can still insist
30:03by two-thirds vote of Congress per House
30:08voting separately
30:09to override the veto.
30:13There is none
30:14because a super majority,
30:17a special majority is needed.
30:19More than just simple majority.
30:21Of course,
30:22the President's allies
30:24are in the House and Senate.
30:27So it should not happen.
30:29The President can also reconvene
30:31the Bicameral Conference Committee
30:33to fix the budget.
30:34What he needs to do
30:35is prevail upon Congress
30:38to withdraw
30:41the bill they gave to the President
30:45so that they can fix it.
30:47That's what I think
30:48is the most viable solution here
30:54without making the President
30:57veto the entire budget.
30:59The Senate President said
31:00the fund can be increased
31:02after the budget is passed.
31:04It's in the special provisions.
31:06The Speaker, the Senate President,
31:07the President, the Chief Justice,
31:09all the heads of agencies,
31:10the constitutional agencies
31:11have that power.
31:13Because they have fiscal autonomy.
31:15Mav Gonzalez reporting
31:17for GMA Integrated News.

32:10The victim was taken to the hospital
32:12and he recovered.
32:13The police are now investigating
32:15the motive for the crime.

32:19in other establishments
32:21to track down the suspects.
32:25Some of these images
32:26were uploaded on social media
32:28related to a traffic accident
32:29in Lapu-Lapu, Cebu.
32:31Based on the investigation,
32:32the old suspect wanted to overtake
32:36but he was not given
32:37by another driver.
32:39The young suspect saw
32:41the confrontation
32:42between his father
32:43and a motorist.
32:44The motorist threatened
32:45his father
32:46and forced him
32:47to get out of the vehicle.
32:49The father of the jeepney driver
32:51had a knife
32:52and barbecue sticks.
32:54The father surrendered
32:55to the police
32:56but was temporarily released
32:58after no other case.

36:00The two programs
36:01will be broadcast

36:07Before the new year,
36:08President Bongbong Marcos
36:09may sign
36:10the proposed national budget
36:12for 2025.
36:14Let's talk in detail
36:15on the spot
36:16of Ian Cruz.
36:18Ian?
36:21Yes, Rafi.
36:22President Bongbong Marcos
36:23will not return
36:25the 2025 national budget
36:27to the Congress.
36:29The President said
36:30the work of the Congress
36:32is done
36:33and there is no procedure
36:34to return the budget
36:36to them
36:37after the bicameral
36:38conference committee
36:39of the Senate and the House.
36:41That's why they are the executives
36:42who will review
36:43the proposed
36:44General Appropriations Bill
36:45of the Congress.
36:46There are a lot of changes
36:47from the budget request
36:48of different departments.
36:50We will know
36:51if the insertions
36:52in the budget
36:53are necessary.
36:55Instead,
36:56the President said
36:57that he will veto
36:58the General Appropriations Bill
37:00to regain
37:01the control
37:02in the spending program
37:03of the government
37:04in the next year.
37:05The President
37:06has not yet detailed this
37:07because item by item,
37:09line by line,
37:10they are looking at
37:11to know
37:12which are the priorities.
37:14But they have already seen
37:15project proposals
37:16that have no appropriate
37:17program of work,
37:18no documentation,
37:19and it is not clear
37:20where the funds will go.
37:22That's why this is what
37:23needs to be clarified.
37:24It should be that
37:25tomorrow,
37:26the national budget
37:27will be approved
37:28but they will not be able
37:29to finish reviewing.
37:30But the President assured
37:31that the 2025 national budget
37:33is included
37:34in the important projects.
37:36The President also asked
37:37about the appearance
37:38of Speaker Martin Romualdez
37:39who will spend
37:40a year
37:41to pay
37:42the PhilHealth premium.
37:43The President said
37:44that this is ideal
37:45but he pointed out
37:46to those
37:47who are commenting
37:48about the absence
37:49of PhilHealth subsidy
37:50in the budget,
37:51to study it well.
37:52His guarantee is
37:53whether PhilHealth
37:54has a subsidy
37:55or not,
37:56the service
37:57of PhilHealth
37:58will not be reduced.
37:59Here is his statement.
38:03Let me be very clear.
38:07I really wish
38:09those who are commenting
38:11about the PhilHealth subsidy
38:13to study it
38:14in more detail.
38:16This is my guarantee.
38:17My guarantee is very simple.
38:19Even if there is a subsidy,
38:21even if there is no subsidy,
38:22even if there is a contribution,
38:24all of these issues,
38:25the service
38:26of PhilHealth
38:27will not be reduced.
38:33The Quad Committee of the Camera
38:35is charged
38:36by our President,
38:37Rodrigo Duterte,
38:38Senator Ronald de la Rosa,
38:39Senator Bongo,
38:40and others
38:41of Crimes Against Humanity
38:42related to war on drugs
38:43in the past administration.
38:44This includes the President
38:45but the Department of Justice
38:47will assess this.
38:48The DOJ will look
38:49at these,
38:50especially
38:51what cases
38:52will be investigated,
38:53how evidence
38:54will be brought back
38:55to the case build-up.
38:56They will look
38:57if the direction
38:58of the recommendation
38:59of the Committee of the Camera
39:00is correct.
39:01As for the requested
39:02executive clemency
39:03of Mary Jane Veloso,
39:04the President said
39:05that it is still far away.
39:06She said that
39:07she still needs to study
39:08and leave it
39:09for the judgment
39:10of the legal experts
39:11to know
39:12if the clemency
39:13can be approved.
39:14There is no condition
39:15given by Indonesia
39:16to transfer to the Philippines
39:17the custody
39:18of the victim,
39:19Veloso,
39:20but everything
39:21is still
39:22in the preliminary stage.
39:23President Bongbong Marcos
39:24was at the Villamor Air Base
39:25earlier
39:26for the change of command
39:27and retirement ceremony
39:28of the Philippine Air Force

39:35Lieutenant General
39:36Arthur Cordura,
39:37a member of the
