Transcript

00:00Live from the GMA Network Center, this is 24 Horas.

00:12Good evening, Pauluzon, Visayas and Mindanao.

00:19In the midst of the ongoing Pogo Bans in the country,

00:22it seems that a big scam hub in Paranaque has entered into an operation.

00:27More than 400 people were caught in the act,

00:30as well as some evidence, such as a script for a love scam and an investment scam.

00:35Some tried to escape, but none of them was caught.

00:40John Consulta has the story.

00:45In the absence of a mission order,

00:47the people of the Bureau of Immigration and the National Bureau of Investigation

00:52entered the 15th and 16th floors of a house in Paranaque City.

00:57Open the door, sir.

01:01More than 400 Chinese, Vietnamese, Indonesian and Myanmar nationals

01:07were caught in their computers.

01:11Some were able to escape and pass through the fire exit,

01:14but were also caught outside the building.

01:17According to the authorities, this is a big Pogo Scam Hub

01:22based on scripts that were seen on computers.

01:24Love Scam and Investment Scam are what the foreigners are doing.

01:29Many of them are still victims.

01:31That's what the remnants are doing now.

01:40Those who still don't want to open their heads,

01:43who are still staying here in the Philippines to victimize other people.

01:46Despite the ongoing Pogo Bans in 2025,

01:49the authorities have seen evidence that shows

01:52that there was no plan to get their group caught.

01:58They were caught here.

02:00They were caught here.

02:02And according to the people of the Bureau of Immigration,

02:06these people are for training.

02:09They are new to doing activities in Pogo.

02:15As of last count, there are 450 of different nationalities.

02:19They are mostly Chinese.

02:21Their operations have been the subject of surveillance proceedings for quite some time.

02:28We are waiting for the reaction of those who were caught far away.

02:31They were put under the processing of the BI

02:33while the NBI is examining the computers and cell phones

02:38that were raided by the Pogo Scam Hub.

02:40As far as I know, they haven't received a business permit yet.

02:45So they haven't inspected that area yet.

02:47What they did there, it is an old operation.

02:50It was closed, but they reopened it.

02:53For GMA Indicated News, John Consulta, Nakatutok, 24 Hours.

03:00On the upcoming Thursday,

03:01the House Secretary General will transmit to the House Speaker's office

03:06the three impeachment complaints against Vice President Sara Duterte.

03:11It took a month for the first complaint to be filed

03:15before the Secretary General finished verifying them.

03:20TINA PANGANIBAN-PEREZ was in Nakatutok.

03:26The Office of the Secretary General of the House of Representatives

03:29has finished verifying the three impeachment complaints

03:32filed against Vice President Sara Duterte

03:35regarding the violation of confidential funds.

03:39As soon as the complaint is filed,

03:41our legal department immediately studied it.

03:47So as of today, everything has been verified.

03:51The three can be transmitted.

03:53The Congress will return to session on Monday,

03:56but the Secretary General of the House of Representatives

03:58will target to transmit to the Office of the Speaker

04:01the impeachment complaints on Thursday.

04:04He plans to talk to the congressmen who told him

04:08that they will file four impeachment complaints

04:12or endorse one of the already filed ones.

04:15How will you respond to impressions

04:20that you are filing the impeachment complaints?

04:24Not really.

04:25Because you know, the House of Representatives

04:29cannot act on it until there is a session,

04:34which is January 13.

04:38So the House won't do anything if they are still on break.

04:44One way or another, I have to transmit the complaint

04:48or complaints to the Office of the Speaker.

04:52It's like negligence on my part

04:57if I will not act on these complaints.

05:00I explained to Velasco that there is no deadline

05:04on the rules on impeachment of the Camera

05:06to transmit the complaints to the Office of the Speaker.

05:09And it just happened that more than one complaint

05:12was filed against an impeachable official.

05:16Once the impeachment complaints are transmitted

05:18to the Office of the Speaker,

05:20the Speaker has 10 session days

05:23to include them in the order of business

05:26or what will be discussed in the plenary.

05:29Then there are three session days in the plenary

05:32to refer it to the House Committee on Justice.

05:35The committee has 60 session days

05:38to decide if the complaints are sufficient in form and substance.

05:43When the committee reports to the plenary,

05:46it needs to act within 60 session days.

05:49But counting the session days

05:52is not like counting the days in the calendar.

05:55The session days in the plenary

05:58is not like counting the days in the calendar.

06:00There are days that will convene on Monday

06:03and will not be adjourned.

06:04It will be adjourned either on Wednesday.

06:08Even if it's three session days,

06:10it will be counted as one session day only.

06:13That's why it's possible that the term of the current Congress

06:17has not yet decided on the impeachment complaints.

06:21That's why the endorser called for the first complaint.

06:24The impeachment complaint that we filed has already been canceled.

06:28One month is too long.

06:30One month without holding Sara accountable

06:34is giving a very bad example to other government officials,

06:41public officials,

06:42that the abuse of power should be punished.

06:46We are still trying to get the file of VP Sara,

06:49but she already said that she is ready to face

06:52and answer the allegations.

06:54For GME Integrated News, Tina Panganiban Perez,

06:58Tune in, 24 Hours.

07:02The MMDA is already preparing the heavy traffic on Monday

07:07because of the upcoming National Rally for Peace

07:10of the Iglesia Ni Cristo in Quirino, Grandstown.

07:13One million members of the INC

07:16are expected to attend the gathering,

07:18that's why the entrance is already canceled in Manila and Pasay.

07:22Joseph Muno is on the line.

07:28One million members of the Iglesia Ni Cristo or INC

07:31are expected to attend the National Rally for Peace

07:34on Monday, January 13 in Quirino, Grandstown in Manila.

07:38The rally was held by the group following their announcement last December

07:41that they supported the position of President Bongbong Marcos

07:45who did not agree with the impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara Duterte.

07:50Three impeachment complaints were filed in the House of Representatives against Vice President Duterte.

08:08The MMDA already helped the Iglesia Ni Cristo

08:10who said that their members will arrive in Metro Manila from nearby provinces.

08:15According to the MMDA, the members of the Iglesia Ni Cristo

08:18are expected to arrive here in Metro Manila on Sunday

08:22and the traffic will be expected until Monday night in affected areas.

08:2715,000 vehicles will be brought to Quirino, Grandstown

08:32where they will gather.

08:34That's why the Iglesia asked to park over 10 roads in Pasay and Manila.

08:39It was allowed by the MMDA such as Mel Lopez Boulevard, España, Rojas, and Macapagal Boulevard.

08:46That's why the MMDA is preparing for heavy traffic on Monday

08:50that is possible to reach near Manila and Welcome Rotonda

08:53on the boundary of Manila and Quezon City.

08:56We will allow street parking, only one lane.

09:01So if the road is three lanes or two lanes,

09:06only one lane will be allowed on the road.

09:09The whole road cannot be allowed on the road.

09:14The roads around and near Quirino, Grandstown are closed

09:18such as Rojas Boulevard, P. Burgos, and Maria Orosa.

09:21Malacanang is suspending entry to the government

09:24and all schools in Manila and Pasay for this purpose.

09:29The MMDA is not suspending the number coding.

09:32Our countrymen, if you can cross the road,

09:39especially in the area of Manila and Pasay.

09:44The Iglesia also has a national rally in different provinces

09:47such as Ilocosur, Albay, Iloilo, Cebu, Cagayan de Oro, and Davao.

09:52Aside from the expected traffic due to the INCP's rally on Monday,

09:55the traffic will also be suspended on Mindanao Avenue

09:58because starting on Sunday, January 12,

10:01some parts of Mindanao Avenue will be closed

10:03for the Tandang Soros Station of Metro Manila Subway.

10:07The traffic will be suspended due to the road extension.

10:11That will last until 2028.

10:14In March this year, the rehabilitation of the southbound lane of EDSA

10:18is expected to begin to fix the drainage and asphalt.

10:22It is expected that by the end of the year, the project will be completed.

10:25For GMA Integrated News, Joseph Morong, Nakatutok 24 Horas.

10:30The Agriculture Department will implement the maximum suggested retail price

10:35for some imported rice to ensure that it can be reached.

10:38How much? Find out in the coverage of Bernadette Reyes.

10:45Starting January 20,

10:47the maximum suggested retail price to MSRP will be implemented

10:51at Php 58 per kilo for imported rice.

10:54This means that the price of imported rice should not exceed

10:59the price of Japanese rice, black rice, and malagkit.

11:02According to Agriculture Secretary Francisco Chula Uriel Jr.,

11:06this will be done to ensure that the price of rice can be reached.

11:10It will be implemented in Metro Manila

11:13and the price will be reviewed every month

11:15to make sure that it is in line with the price movement in the world market.

11:19In addition to the DA, it will go through a consultation

11:22with importers and retailers and government agencies.

11:27We put a margin of Php 10 per kilo from importer to retailer.

11:34So that's our Php 58.

11:36But now, the world price is going down.

11:40So maybe the Php 58 MSRP in the future should be lower

11:45if the world price continues to go down.

11:49Brands will also be removed from rice,

11:51which is the reason for some importers.

11:54Instead, it will be replaced by color-coding.

11:57The DA will also issue guidelines on this.

12:00In TAKAL-TAKAL, the brands will be prohibited

12:04to put the type, origin, percent broken, and price.

12:09Then the tags will be color-coded.

12:12That color-coding is actually NFA time

12:15based on the meeting yesterday with the retailers.

12:19Many of them are still implementing it actually.

12:23Next is the launch of Sunit Rice,

12:26which will be sold for Php 35 to Php 36,

12:29or the so-called 100% broken.

12:32For now, it can only be purchased from a select few.

12:35Meanwhile, in the price monitoring of the DA

12:38together with DTI today,

12:40the price of tomatoes has gone down

12:43to Php 360 per kilo.

12:47But the increase in the price of some primary products

12:51including sardines, milk, coffee, noodles, and bottled water,

12:55has been mitigated.

12:56This month, DTI and manufacturers will help

12:59to discuss the price of the primary products.

13:02In case of a high price agreement,

13:05DTI will make sure that it will not affect the buyers.

13:09We come up with a consensus on what is really best

13:12for both manufacturers and consumers.

13:14It should be win-win for all.

13:16But whatever the price increase,

13:18it should be added to the buyers.

13:20I will just buy what I need at home.

13:23Soap, sugar, coffee,

13:27what I really need.

13:29I am looking for an alternative.

13:32For example, the bread is Php 60.

13:35I am looking for the same, Php 40.

13:38That's how I lower the price.

13:40And the essentials.

13:43For GMA Integrated News,

13:45Bernadette Reyes, 24 hours.

13:49Jesus Nazareno's translation reached more than 20 hours this year.

13:56According to the Catholic Church,

13:58more than 8 million devotees came to the field

14:02from January 2.

14:05Maki Polido was there.

14:11More than 4 million devotees

14:13participated in the translation of Jesus Nazareno.

14:16In all activities from January 2 to 9,

14:18including the kiss at the Kirino Grandstand

14:21and the translation of the whole,

14:23more than 8 million people came.

14:25According to the Catholic Church,

14:26this is the highest number of devotees

14:29participating in the feast of Jesus Nazareno.

14:32We did not experience any chaos, any riot,

14:35any violence, any clash or conflict with our devotees.

14:40Even though there were quarrels,

14:42it was tolerated.

14:44There were no conflicts.

14:47The translation lasted more than 20 hours.

14:50Early in the morning,

14:51the crowd returned to the Catholic Church.

14:54The procession was slow

14:55because of the large number of devotees this year

14:58who came at the same time.

15:01It was a perfect winter yesterday.

15:03If you notice,

15:04the weather did not warm up.

15:07It was cloudy, but it did not rain.

15:10That is why people did not stop on the road

15:14even though it was almost noon.

15:17The field was cut off twice

15:19because the road wheels of Taft and Finan Street

15:23and the field went under

15:25when it reached Plaza del Carmen

15:26in San Sebastian Church.

15:28After that,

15:29we could not move the road

15:31because the field went under again.

15:35We had to cut it

15:36because it was already under.

15:38We cut it from above.

15:40That is why from Plaza del Carmen

15:42to Plaza Miranda,

15:44our road did not have a field anymore.

15:46We also learned that before the field was cut off,

15:49there were devotees who came here

15:51and took the field.

15:53Because it was hard to cross the road

15:55when there was no field,

15:56Z.P. de Guzman,

15:57the police,

15:58and the children of Nazareno,

16:00were the ones who watched

16:01to speed up the procession.

16:03We really intended

16:04to wear their tactical uniform

16:07to show the devotees

16:10that we wanted to speed up

16:12the procession of our road.

16:16When the police and the children switched to the road,

16:18the road was covered with people.

16:20This is where the devotees

16:22went to the road.

16:23At Plaza Miranda,

16:24the police were also waiting

16:26to speed up the procession.

16:28There was also a chance

16:29that a police officer

16:30and a devotee saw each other.

16:34In spite of this,

16:35according to the leadership of the Catholic Church,

16:37the number of people who were injured this year

16:39in the feast of Jesus of Nazareno

16:41is also low.

16:43More than 900 were taken

16:45to the first aid tents.

16:47More than 500 were rushed to the hospitals,

16:49according to the Department of Health.

16:51Usually, those who were rushed to the hospital

16:53were definitely the ones who died.

16:56In spite of the repeated calls of the Church,

16:59there were still those who joined the procession.

17:01But this is already less

17:02compared to those who were transferred.

17:04This year,

17:05no one will be able to stand

17:06at the side of the procession.

17:08They will still study

17:09if there is anything else they can do

17:10so that this will not happen again.

17:12We are not saying

17:13that the procession will change.

17:15We are just having enhancements,

17:17improvements, and renovations

17:19because we are learning every year.

17:22For GMA Integrated News,

17:23Mackie Pulido reporting for 24 Hours.

17:26It is estimated that,

17:28starting this week,

17:29the implementation of gun ban

17:31and checkpoints

17:33will start on the first day

17:34of the election period.

17:36If the Commonwealth and PNP

17:38will decide,

17:39the public should not be afraid

17:41of the underground checkpoints in the country.

17:44Sandra Aguinaldo reporting for 24 Hours.

17:50Early next week,

17:51it will be familiar to see again

17:53the checkpoints on the streets

17:55across the country

17:56because this is the start of the election period.

17:59This is where the Commonwealth will have the power

18:01to implement gun ban and checkpoints

18:04related to the national and local elections in May.

18:07To avoid confusion,

18:08the Commonwealth and the police

18:10have stated that

18:11the checkpoints will not be feared.

18:13There will be a marked vehicle,

18:15there will be signage

18:16with the name of the team leader.

18:19The checkpoints will be properly uniformed.

18:22There will be nameplates.

18:24And it will be in a well-lighted area at night.

18:27As for the motorists,

18:28everyone will be asked to help

18:31if the authorities stop them.

18:33At night,

18:34before we approach the checkpoints,

18:37we will turn off the headlights

18:38and turn on the cabin lights.

18:40We will cooperate.

18:41We will cooperate.

18:42There will be no problem here.

18:44The Automobile Association of the Philippines

18:46reminds that

18:47only a few simple questions

18:48should be asked in a situation like this.

18:51The vehicle does not need to go down.

18:53The passengers and the driver

18:55cannot get in.

18:57Because the main purpose is

18:59one or two questions.

19:01The basic engagement,

19:02where are you from,

19:03where are you going,

19:04where are you going,

19:05and where are you going.

19:07If you cannot answer the basic question,

19:10you will escalate the conversation

19:12to say,

19:13it looks like you are hiding something.

19:15The authorities can inspect your vehicle,

19:17but this is limited to

19:19what their eyes can see,

19:21or the so-called Plainview Doctrine.

19:24When the checkpoint is implemented,

19:26we will just check the Plainview Doctrine.

19:28We will just apply it.

19:29We will see if we can see

19:31the illegal items there,

19:34such as guns.

19:36If there are none,

19:37we will not require them

19:38to open the compartment,

19:39they will open the trunk

19:40so that we can find it.

19:42Aside from the fact that

19:43there are sufficient reasons

19:44to be wary of him

19:46because he moves in a different way,

19:48and if the authorities have information

19:50about him.

19:51When the authorities check,

19:53they will be careful

19:55in following the regulations.

19:57We need to be there

19:59to report,

20:00to tell us

20:01what other adjustments

20:03we should do.

20:04If there is a traffic jam

20:05or you are being disturbed,

20:06please forgive us.

20:07This is for all of you.

20:08For the GMA Integrated News,

20:10Sandra Aguinaldo,

20:11for 24 Hours.

20:14More than Php 31 billion

20:17was spent

20:18on the construction

20:20of the new Senate building

20:21based on the last account

20:23of the DPWH.

20:24According to a property consultant,

20:26it is still possible

20:27to increase that

20:28while the construction is delayed.

20:30For the GMA Integrated News,

20:31Ma'am Gonzalez.

20:35This January,

20:36the Senate will pass

20:37the plan for the new Senate building

20:39which was sometimes called

20:40by Senator Alan Peter Cayetano

20:42as the most expensive

20:43house in the Philippines.

20:45In the last computation

20:46of the DPWH,

20:48the building cost

20:49will reach Php 31.6 billion.

20:52If you compute

20:53the total floor area

20:54of the new Senate building

20:55which is more than

20:56130,000 square meters,

20:58the cost will be more than

20:59Php 240,000

21:01per square meter.

21:03Based on the 2024 estimates

21:05of the construction consultancy,

21:06Arcadis,

21:07Php 92,000 per square meter

21:10is the most expensive

21:11construction cost

21:12for a high-rise office

21:13of this quality.

21:14Php 91,000 per square meter

21:16is the most expensive

21:17fit-out

21:18or the designs inside

21:20including the walls,

21:21ceiling,

21:22ceiling, plumbing,

21:23and others.

21:24If you add it up,

21:25Php 183,000 per square meter

21:28is the construction

21:29and fit-out cost

21:30for the most expensive

21:31office.

21:32But the expenses

21:33are not included

21:34for the basement parking.

21:36According to the property

21:37consultant,

21:38David Lee Chu,

21:39it depends if the 131,570

21:40square meters

21:41are usable space

21:42or construction floor area

21:43to say if the cost

21:44will be reasonable.

21:50If that is based

21:51on the construction floor area,

21:53which means including

21:54the parking,

21:55including the garbage room,

21:59machine room,

22:00and all that,

22:01at Php 240,000,

22:03that sounds like a lot.

22:05That is probably

22:06the most expensive building

22:07in the Philippines

22:08if those numbers are true.

22:10So let's say it's not.

22:12And the Php 241,000

22:14per square meter

22:15is based on the usable space.

22:17What will be left there

22:18is the hallways,

22:20elevator lobby,

22:21ground floor lobby,

22:22office space,

22:23plenary hall,

22:24etc.

22:25Then that might sound reasonable.

22:28Now the next question is,

22:30how high-end is high-end?

22:32Construction costs

22:33have a large range

22:35because it depends

22:36on the materials

22:37and facilities that will be built.

22:39Some things that will

22:41move that number.

22:43If you start to have

22:45very specialized facilities

22:48like an auditorium

22:51with soundproofing

22:53and high-tech sound systems,

22:56that number could be anywhere.

22:58It will be a big range.

23:00Lee Chu added,

23:01the design of the new Senate building

23:04is really expensive

23:05with four towers

23:06and a diagonal design.

23:07The engineering cost

23:09of the structural works

23:12for a building like that design

23:14is much higher

23:16than if it was a simple

23:17straight column building.

23:19So the columns are not

23:20straight vertically.

23:22It's diagonal

23:24and that's very expensive.

23:26So there are certain costs

23:28that are unseen,

23:30like literally unseen

23:32because it's inherent

23:33embedded in the structure.

23:35As time goes by,

23:37construction costs will increase

23:39due to inflation,

23:40currency exchange rate,

23:42and the closure of many

23:44suppliers from China.

23:46I think value engineering

23:48is always possible

23:49especially when they haven't

23:51completed the building

23:53and I suppose they haven't

23:55completely purchased

23:57all the materials.

23:59That cost is dramatically changing

24:01because we are now

24:03in the most expensive part

24:04of the building

24:05which is the finishing

24:07where finishing material

24:09is almost 100% imported.

24:12The genset elevators,

24:13air conditioning systems imported,

24:16tile works imported,

24:18cabling,

24:19actually it started with the glass.

24:21The glass is almost

24:23always imported.

24:24The longer it takes,

24:26the more expensive it will be

24:27because of the currency.

24:29In the latest report

24:30of the Senate Committee on Accounts Chair

24:31Senator Alan Peter Cayetano,

24:33in 2027,

24:34the target is to finish

24:35the new Senate building.

25:18and the water level rose

25:19in the August of Sapa.

25:20Landslide in Viga, Catanduanes.

25:23It can be seen from Hipa Pauit

25:25that a large part of the mountain

25:26has collapsed

25:27and the length of the stranded vehicles

25:30immediately carried out

25:31a clearing operation.

25:32According to the forecast,

25:33a sheer line of rain

25:35in the Bicol region

25:36and localized thunderstorms

25:37in Mindanao.

25:38This will continue

25:39this weekend

25:41along with a thunderstorm.

25:43Earlier this morning,

25:44the forecast said

25:4514.4 degrees Celsius

25:47in La Trinidad, Benguet.

25:48The thunderstorms also felt

25:50in Baguio, Itbet, Batanes,

25:51Tanay, Rizal

25:52and Kasiguran, Aurora.

25:54Based on the data

25:55of Metro Weather,

25:56it will continue to rain

25:57in the Bicol region,

25:58Mimaropa,

25:59some parts of Northern Luzon

26:00and Visayas,

26:01and almost all of Mindanao,

26:03especially by the afternoon.

26:04It will be almost the same

26:05by the end of the week

26:06and there will be rain

26:07in Central Luzon.

26:09The rainfall will still be strong

26:11especially in Southern Luzon

26:12along with the Bicol region.

26:14Be ready for the

26:15flood or landslide

26:16in Metro Manila.

26:17There is also a chance

26:18of rain by the afternoon

26:19or evening this weekend.

26:22It is possible that

26:23China is planning

26:25these aggressive actions

26:27in the West Philippine Sea

26:29to give the Philippines

26:31its interests

26:32according to an expert.

26:35His request to the government

26:37is to expand

26:38the defense cooperation

26:39of the country.

26:40Chino Gaston is on the scene.

26:45Despite the bad weather,

26:46the BRP Teresa Magbanwa

26:48continues to monitor

26:49the exclusive economic zone

26:51near Zambales.

26:53In just two days,

26:54the BRP Magbanwa

26:56is tracking 70 to 80 nautical miles

26:59from the coastline of Zambales.

27:01It is facing

27:02the China Coast Guard Vessel 3103

27:05and its replacement Vessel 3304.

27:26In the forum earlier

27:27of the ADR Strathbeys Institute

27:29about the Philippine-Japan

27:30Strategic Cooperation,

27:32the former Philippine Navy Admiral

27:34and Security Analyst

27:36Rommel Jude Ong

27:37was asked about China's

27:38tactics in the West Philippine Sea.

27:40Aside from sharing

27:41the opinions of the people

27:42through misinformation,

27:44it is possible that

27:45China is planning

27:46these aggressive actions.

27:49We are also trying

27:50to get the Chinese Embassy

27:52to make a statement

27:53about these allegations.

27:54If they are able to escalate

27:57tension to the point

27:58that the target country

28:00is willing to give up

28:02its national interest

28:05just to avoid further escalation.

28:08In that area,

28:09I am worried about

28:10the West Philippine Sea

28:11because sometimes

28:12we are focused

28:13on the escalation.

28:14We are not looking

28:15at the big picture

28:16which is we are

28:17incrementally losing.

28:19One of the so-called

28:20solutions to China's aggression

28:22is the expansion

28:23of defense cooperation

28:25not only in Japan

28:26but also in South Korea,

28:28Taiwan, and Australia.

28:30On Sunday,

28:31President Bongbong Marcos

28:32had a chance to speak

28:33on the phone

28:34with US President Joseph Biden

28:36and Japanese Prime Minister

28:38Ishiba Shigeru.

28:40They will discuss

28:42the developments in the region

28:44and the cooperation

28:45of the three countries

28:46following the historic

28:47Trilateral Summit

28:48in April last year.

28:50Next week,

28:51Japanese Foreign Minister

28:53Iwaya Takeshi

28:54will visit the country

28:56to discuss

28:57political,

28:58defense,

28:59security,

29:00economic,

29:01and development

29:02cooperation

29:03of the two countries.

29:04This is while

29:05the concurrence

29:06of the Japanese Parliament

29:07is still waiting

29:08for the Philippine-Japan

29:09Reciprocal Access Agreement

29:11that will strengthen

29:12the defense cooperation

29:13of the two countries.

29:15For GMA Integrated News,

29:28to the former PSDB-MOYC

29:30Lloyd Christopher Lau

29:32and several high-ranking officials

29:34of the Family Pharmaceutical Corporation.

29:36This includes

29:37the wrongful purchase

29:39until May 2020

29:41of medical supplies

29:43such as PPE

29:44and surgical masks

29:46that are worth

29:51The Ombudsman also recommended

29:53to file a complaint

29:54against the 13 people

30:02under the revised Penal Code

30:04due to the misappropriation

30:06of documents

30:08of medical supplies.

30:10GMA Integrated News

30:12is trying to get

30:14a copy of the Law

30:15and the Pharmalee.

30:20It was discussed online

30:21at the beginning of the year

30:22about the beef

30:24between Miguel Canfelix

30:25and Bruce Roland

30:27because of their viral video.

30:29How was the mood

30:31of the Riles boys on set?

30:33Let's talk to Larson Siago.

30:42I've been waiting for two nights

30:43for your favorite food.

30:45It's on me, ma'am.

30:46Go ahead, go ahead.

30:47But both are stubborn

30:49and don't listen

30:51to the Riles boys

30:53who are the star

30:55of the latest series

30:57of GMA Prime.

30:59But the people

31:00in the role

31:01of Miguel Canfelix

31:03and Bruce Roland

31:04became a hot topic

31:06online

31:07because of this viral video

31:09where Bruce

31:11looks like Miguel's servant.

31:13At one point,

31:15it looks like

31:16the two are about to get sick.

31:18But it's just acting.

31:20The cast

31:22and their media

31:24are ready to show

31:25how serious they are

31:27in the action-packed series.

31:29Off-cam,

31:30their set

31:32is happening

31:33on a faraway day.

31:35We're on set

31:37and we're all

31:39in sync.

31:40I'm so happy

31:41because I'm going to the set

31:43even though we're going through

31:45a lot in life.

31:47They're the ones

31:48who make us happy.

31:49It's proven

31:50by their Riles brothers

31:52who are Kokoy De Santos,

31:54Rahil Birya,

31:55and Antonio Binzon.

31:57From day one

31:58until now,

31:59our process is different.

32:01These are my bros,

32:02my brothers.

32:04He's like Riles.

32:06He's so strong.

32:07It's like

32:08there's a new station

32:09next time.

32:10It's like a family to me.

32:12They're like my family,

32:14my friends,

32:15my co-workers.

32:17Our friendship

32:18really elevates.

32:19The Riles boys admitted

32:21that the scenes are tiring

32:23but they really enjoy it.

32:26It's fulfilling

32:28even though

32:30we're all out of breath

32:32after the scene.

32:34But we know

32:35the outcome will be good

32:37after the tiredness.

32:39I really enjoy it

32:40because

32:41the Riles kids said

32:42and I thought

32:43of course,

32:44there's a fight,

32:45there's a fight,

32:46there's drama,

32:47there's dancing.

32:49They feel that

32:51the hardship and tiredness

32:53is worth it

32:54because of the great support

32:55received by the series

32:57since it was released

32:59last Monday.

33:00We're very grateful

33:02to everyone who followed

33:04and waited for our show

33:06because we're doing this

33:08for them.

33:09We know that

33:10they have something

33:11to fight for in life

33:13and they can watch it here.

33:15Tonight,

33:16not only will they be able

33:18to watch the scenes

33:19of the fight,

33:20but there will also be

33:22an event that will make

33:24the story of the series

33:26even more memorable.

33:27War Santiago

33:29updated

33:30on the showbiz happening.

33:33The whole province of Negros Oriental

33:35was engulfed

33:36by the State of Calamity

33:38due to the continuous

33:39eruption of the volcano Canlaon.

33:42In the last Volcano Bulletin

33:44of PHIVOLCS,

33:4515 volcanic earthquakes

33:47in Mount Canlaon

33:49were recorded

33:50in the past 24 hours.

33:52More than 2,000 tons

33:54of sulfur dioxide

33:56or asuprerein

33:57were erupted by the volcano yesterday.

33:59Continuous eruption

34:01and intense eruption

34:03of the abo.

34:04According to PHIVOLCS,

34:05it is still possible

34:07for a sudden eruption,

34:09lava eruption,

34:10ashfall,

34:11pyroclastic density current

34:13or PDC,

34:14rockfall,

34:15and landslides

34:17if it rains heavily.

34:20It is continuously recommended

34:22not to enter or leave

34:24the 6-kilometer danger zone.

34:27The LGU of Negros Occidental

34:29targets to expand

34:31the construction of tent cities

34:33for the residents who will leave

34:35if the volcano erupts again.

34:40The field was cleared

34:41by Director Daryl Yap

34:42who has yet to order the court

34:44to stop the release

34:45of promotional materials

34:47or teasers

34:48of his film

34:49The Rapists of Pepsi Paloma.

34:51According to the petition

34:53of actor Vic Soto

34:54to the court

34:55for the writ of habeas data,

34:57despite Soto's requests

34:58to stop the distribution

34:59of personal and sensitive details

35:01about Soto

35:03as well as the release

35:05of promotional materials online.

35:07Under the court's order,

35:08Yap will submit

35:09a verified return of writ

35:12According to Yap's lawyer,

35:13they will answer this on Wednesday

35:15and the director will fight

35:17for the freedom of artistic expression.

35:20They also answered

35:21what Soto's colleague said

35:22that Yap did not consult them

35:24about the film.

35:26According to Yap's lawyer,

35:27they gave a copy of the script

35:29of Soto's film

35:30before releasing

35:32its teaser.

35:36The purpose was really for

35:37them to give comments

35:39on the script.

35:40Director Daryl did not follow up

35:42on that until finally

35:44all the scenes were shot.

35:46So it's not our fault anymore.

37:37For GMA Regional TV,

37:39Balitang Bisdak and GMA Integrated News,

37:41Nico Sireno,

37:4324 Hours.

37:48In the middle of celebration

37:50and praise for his victory

37:52as the first Filipino and Asian

37:54Grand Winner of The Voice USA Season 26,

37:57there is a tear that was left

37:59in the heart of Sofronio Vasquez

38:01because of his father's blessing

38:03that a large part of what he is experiencing

38:05is his success.

38:07His emotional dedication

38:09in GMA Integrated News Interviews

38:11will be discussed by Nelson Carlas.

38:24He was my hero.

38:27The Voice USA Season 26

38:29Grand Winner Sofronio Vasquez

38:31became emotional

38:33when he sat down

38:35in GMA Integrated News Interviews

38:37to talk about one of his

38:39biggest inspirations.

38:41From his numerous appearances

38:43in auditions and singing contests

38:45that he participated in

38:47for hundreds of years

38:49to the tragic dream

38:51of his father

38:53that he fought for.

38:55It's sad

38:57that now, looking back,

38:59supposedly, I know

39:01he will enjoy this moment

39:03because he loves to sing.

39:05He was my coach.

39:07But I can't tell him

39:09that I won.

39:11He can't make me proud

39:13of his friends.

39:15Sofronio admitted that

39:17he lost confidence in himself

39:19many times.

39:21I had an insecurity

39:23when I thought that

39:25my father passed away.

39:27I wanted to provide the best life

39:29that my mother deserved.

39:31I worked as a cruise ship singer.

39:33I became an OFW for a time.

39:35But if you know in your heart

39:37that you have someone you like,

39:39you look for him.

39:41He became a companion

39:43to his late father

39:45whom he talked to

39:47in his mind.

39:49I just want to say

39:51to him,

39:53just breathe.

39:55You can do it.

39:57He always told me

39:59that every time

40:01I sing,

40:03don't forget to do

40:05sign of the cross.

40:07That's why

40:09I do it with a conscious effort

40:11with my heart

40:13that this is me doing sign of the cross

40:15because I remember you.

40:17He was also an inspiration

40:19to his voice coach,

40:21Michael Bubley

40:23who is still

40:25his mentor and guide.

40:27What I appreciate there,

40:29Michael Bubley would always tell me,

40:31you don't have to be technically perfect

40:33because you're a person.

40:35Sometimes, perfection is boring.

40:37Imperfection is better.

40:39Do you still have frustrations as a singer?

40:41Frustrations, yes.

40:43But the frustrations are also

40:45the ones who helped me realize

40:47I can make it.

41:17I'll be back this year.

41:19Do you have a message

41:21to those like you

41:23who would want to make it

41:25in the entertainment industry?

41:27Maybe

41:29my message is for

41:31the parents.

41:33Sometimes, kids just enjoy being on stage.

41:35I think I just wanted to tell

41:37the parents

41:39support your kids

41:41and allow them

41:43to learn. Let them feel they fail.

41:45Failure is important.

41:47Failure is important

41:49because I failed many times.

41:51But my mom would always tell me,

41:53it's okay. Let them feel it.
