00:00Let's be together, Saksi!
00:16A SUV was spotted on the side of the road in Ramon Magsaysay, Zamboanga del Sur.
00:21According to a witness, the vehicle was driving while walking
00:25and when it stopped, the oil splattered.
00:28Underneath the vehicle, the vehicle caught fire.
00:31The driver of the vehicle, who is a police officer, immediately got out of the car.
00:34According to the BFP, the smell of burning oil splattered on the inside of the vehicle.
00:40The investigation continues.
00:45The police are investigating how the suspect was able to enter a mall in Batangas
00:51where there was an armed man and a hostage.
00:53The security personnel of the mall is assisting in the investigation.
00:57Saksi, this is June Generacion.
01:06This man is targeting the owner of a store in SMC Pilipas, Batangas.
01:17After almost 3 hours of negotiation, the police convinced the hostage taker
01:22to go to the mall with his family.
01:24He agreed to come down from the second floor
01:26so the police were able to catch the suspect.
01:45When I grabbed his hand, he was still trying to get the knife.
01:50That's when we started fighting for the knife.
01:54That's why I got hurt.
01:56When the knife was thrown, they didn't see it.
02:00I felt like I was going to get hurt.
02:04The city police are wondering how the suspect was able to enter a mall
02:09despite the tight security.
02:11This is one of the questions that the security officers of the mall should answer.
02:15In the statement issued by SM,
02:17their security personnel are assisting PNP to control the situation yesterday.
02:22There will be a joint investigation so that the same incident won't happen again.
02:27The officials of the mall also went to the head of the city police
02:31and threatened that they will conduct an internal investigation.
02:35That's what they will do.
02:37They will answer who has lapses in security.
02:41They said that they will take care of their security.
02:45The hostage was rescued.
02:47Until now, he is still emotional about the incident.
02:50He refused to be interviewed,
02:52but he showed us the wounds on his neck and hands.
02:55This video will be used for the investigation of the police.
02:59It was posted on the social media page of Lipa Police.
03:02The suspect will face serious illegal detention
03:06and violation of the omnibus election code,
03:08as well as the illegal possession of deadly weapons.
03:11For GMA Integrated News, I'm Jun Van Arsion, your witness.
03:17It was discovered that the Supreme Court
03:20rejected the petition of Vice President Sara Duterte
03:23to stop the impeachment trial against her.
03:26The vice president hurried the impeachment process
03:30to reach the court before the election.
03:32Witness, Salima Refra.
03:38Two weeks after the impeachment of the camera,
03:41Vice President Sara Duterte went to the Supreme Court.
03:44She asked to stop the impeachment trial against her
03:47through the Temporary Restraining Order
03:50or Writ of Preliminary Injunction.
03:52Despite the visa, the camera had grave abuse of discretion.
03:56In the petition filed,
03:58it was stated that there cannot be more than one impeachment proceeding
04:02against an official within a year.
04:05The camera intended to go around the one-year ban
04:09in the fourth impeachment complaint filed in February
04:12compared to the three other impeachment complaints filed in December.
04:17This is so that the camera can have sufficient signatures
04:21before the election of 2025
04:23because the composition of the camera will be changed.
04:26Respondents of the camera petition were led by Speaker Martin Numualdez,
04:30his Secretary General,
04:32and the Senate led by Senate President Francis Escudero.
04:36As for the lawyers of the visa who signed the petition,
04:40it was his father, former President Rodrigo Duterte.
04:43The former president will just receive
04:45his Mandatory Continuing Legal Education Exemption,
04:49which is a requirement for the continued practice as a lawyer.
04:53Although it was approved before the on-bank session,
04:55according to the Supreme Court,
04:57the visa petition was no longer included in the agenda of the magistrates.
05:01There was also another petition asking to stop the impeachment trial.
05:06The petition was expected to be raffled
05:09before it can be included in the agenda of the next on-bank session.
05:13According to the Senate leaders,
05:15they referred this matter to the Solicitor General for them to answer.
05:19Speaker Numualdez and House Secretary General Reginald Velasco
05:23have yet to respond.
05:25One of the impeachment prosecutors
05:27was adamant that there is no basis for the Supreme Court to issue a TRO.
05:31He also denied the allegation of not having studied
05:34and hastened the fourth impeachment complaint.
05:37It was not railroaded
05:39because since the three impeachment complaints were filed back in 2024,
05:44last year,
05:45we already had an individual evaluation
05:49of these impeachment complaints.
05:52Impeachment prosecutor Lawrence Defensor
05:55believes that the impeachment is a political question
05:58and the Supreme Court has no knowledge of it.
06:01In the middle of the different petitions in the Supreme Court,
06:04Senate President Chief Escudero said,
06:07It is providential that we did not proceed with the trial
06:10because we recessed so that all of these things
06:13can be submitted to the Supreme Court
06:16and passed by the Supreme Court
06:18so that there will be no delay or delay in the trial of the Senate
06:22on these kinds of technicalities or issues.
06:25Escudero said that the Senate Committee on Rules and Legal Team
06:29will refer the letters to him for him to study.
06:32Escudero said that it will take 40 days
06:35for the pleadings to be submitted in each field
06:38before the pre-trial starts.
06:40So it will not be until June 30
06:43when the 19th Congress will be over.
06:46How can we have a trial of 12?
06:49Then surely the winner will be decided
06:51because there is no two-thirds.
06:54Right?
06:55So the soonest time you can convene the impeachment court
06:58for trial purposes would be
07:00once the Senate is complete with 24 members.
07:03That will happen after June 30
07:06and once the new Senate has entered into its function.
07:11Even on July, the impeachment trial in Bisay is planned to start.
07:14The legal team is already forming
07:16and is already making room for Senator Judges.
07:20A setup has also been laid for impeachment.
07:23The Senate estimates that it will spend less than 1 million pesos
07:26on the impeachment trial.
07:28But the lawyer's fees are different
07:30and they are not yet included in the penalty.
07:32The Senate will get private lawyers
07:34to help with the process.
07:37For GMA Integrated News,
07:39I am Salima Refra of your Saksi.
07:44The Secretary-General of the House of Representatives,
07:47Reginald Velasco, issued a statement.
07:49He stated that there are two petitions in the Supreme Court
07:52questioning the validity of the impeachment complaint
07:55against Vice President Sara Duterte.
07:57They will wait for a copy of the petitions
08:00before giving a comment.
08:02But he assured that the constitutional requirements
08:05will be followed when they will transmit
08:07the Articles of Impeachment to the Senate.
08:11Jam Ignacio's businesswoman apologized to her fiancé,
08:15DJ Jelly Ao.
08:17DJ complained to her boyfriend in the NBI
08:20after he punched her and threw her in the car.
08:24Saksi, this is John Consulta, Exclusive.
08:29I am here to apologize to you.
08:33I am so sorry.
08:46In an exclusive interview with GMA Integrated News,
08:49Jam Ignacio's businesswoman
08:51apologized to her fiancé, DJ Jelly Ao.
08:58According to Jam, she did not hide anything.
09:01She just waited for the right time to speak.
09:04She complained to her fiancé in the NBI.
09:07DJ said that he punched her and threw her in the car.
09:12In a simple misunderstanding,
09:17and maybe there is a mix of tiredness
09:22from yesterday's walk,
09:25and maybe I am just a human being,
09:28maybe I was just full.
09:35Ignacio also apologized
09:37to his beloved wife, Jelly,
09:39and to their friends who were hurt in the incident.
09:42Hon, you know how much I love you.
09:47I am sorry for what happened.
09:51I promise you that this will not happen again.
09:55Despite the controversy,
09:57Jam insisted that they continue their wedding plan.
10:01You know, I really want you to be with me.
10:06You know, we already have a plan.
10:10Let's make it happen.
10:12We are still trying to get Jelly Ao's statement.
10:15For GMA Integrated News,
10:17I, John Consulta, am your witness.
10:22In the April target,
10:24LTFRB decided to ask for a transfer group
10:26to add passengers to the jeep.
10:28LTFRB asked for 5 pesos extra for minimum fare
10:31and 2 pesos extra for every kilometer.
10:33This was requested by three groups of jeepney operators.
10:36While the petition was being heard,
10:38the transport group requested
10:401 to 2 pesos of provisional increase
10:42while the diesel is expensive.
10:44The operators and driver of the ride-hailing unit
10:47asked for 25 pesos extra for their flag down rate
10:50and 3 pesos extra for every kilometer of travel.
10:54LTFRB will prepare to hear the petition.
11:00A woman was filled with fear
11:02after she saw a man
11:04holding her 5-year-old daughter.
11:07The incident happened just outside the victim's house.
11:12Witness, Mackie Pulido.
11:17From the room where Liza was watching the CCTV,
11:20her real name is unknown,
11:22she heard a knock at the door of the house.
11:24She saw a man in the window
11:27holding two children in the living room.
11:30The man took out his wallet
11:32and gave it to one of the children.
11:34When he backed away,
11:36he did this,
11:38as if he was calling someone from the inside.
11:40When he was convinced,
11:41one of the children came out.
11:43He gave her money.
11:45He told her to go upstairs.
11:48Liza ran out of the house
11:50when she saw her niece coming out.
11:52I stood here
11:54to block her.
11:56I asked her,
11:57why did you give her money?
11:59She replied,
12:00just like that.
12:02As if she can't speak.
12:04When Liza entered the house,
12:06the man grabbed her and left.
12:09The mother was very worried
12:11because they suspected
12:12that the man was planning
12:14to kidnap her 5-year-old daughter.
12:16I was scared for my daughter
12:18because they always play here
12:20even though there's no one watching.
12:22I was scared because the house was right in front of me.
12:24It was far from the road.
12:26The family reported the incident
12:28to the Police Precinct
12:29located in Barangay 180, Caloocan.
12:32The mother asked the police
12:33to investigate and find the man.
12:36The PNP Substation Commander
12:37did not interview in front of the camera,
12:40but he said that they will investigate it.
