00:00Almost none of the items were burned in the Barangay Bagong Pag-asa in Quezon City earlier.
00:06The fire reached the third alarm which lasted for more than an hour before the fire was declared out.
00:12Ma'am Gonzales was the one who rang the alarm.
00:20Ruby and her newborn child seemed to have woken up from a nightmare.
00:24The residents of Barangay Bagong Pag-asa in Quezon City were the ones who were hit by the fire at 2 p.m.
00:31None of the items were saved.
00:33I couldn't handle the rain.
00:36The fire spread so fast that I couldn't get anything.
00:40I only got my baby's clothes.
00:45I don't know if I was able to save him because I was just holding him like that.
00:49It was still raining but the fire spread quickly to the houses and adjacent commercial establishments.
00:55Edgar was traveling by jeep with his young child when he heard that something was burned.
01:01His child was crying because he didn't get any school supplies and his school card.
01:07It's a good thing that I was with him because if I left him, he might get burned.
01:11None of our clothes were saved.
01:13None of them?
01:13None of them.
01:14None of them, ma'am?
01:16He only has a birth certificate.
01:18The other residents each have their own belongings.
01:21There were also those who were carrying their belongings to help in extinguishing the fire.
01:26Meanwhile, the North Avenue area where the firetrucks were placed was closed.
01:31The firefighters responded quickly because the National Headquarters of the Bureau of Fire Protection was right in front of the burned area.
01:39There was a firetruck in front of us.
01:40The people of the barangay helped us.
01:44They helped us with the bucket relay.
01:47After more than an hour, the fire was declared out.
01:50According to the BFP, no one was hurt or burned.
01:54As of now, it is still unknown how many families were affected.
01:56In front of us, there's a commercial area.
01:58There's a bakery.
02:00There are shops.
02:01At the back, there are ISF presidential offices.
02:03We are still under investigation.
02:09For GMA Integrated News, Ma'am Gonzales was arrested for 24 hours.
02:15It's only right to file a petition to the Supreme Court
02:18to urge the Senate to start the impeachment process of Vice President Sara Duterte,
02:22according to an expert.
02:24But she also thinks that it's a waste of time to give it to the court.
02:28Why? Do you know why?
02:30Ma'am Gonzales will tell you.
02:34While the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte is taking a long time in the Senate,
02:39political instability is on the rise, according to constitutional law expert Atty. Domingo Cayoza.
02:45He is in favor of filing a petition to the Supreme Court
02:49to urge the Senate to start the impeachment trial.
02:54The petition was filed by the former Special Government Council
02:57of the Presidential Commission on Good Government or PCGG,
03:00Catalino Generilio, Jr.
03:01It doesn't need to be finished, but at least it should start
03:04because they still have three to four months.
03:06The language of our Constitution is clear.
03:09Fourth week, the trial will start when they receive it.
03:14That means there will be no delay.
03:16They are using legal doubts or issues.
03:20In fact, it seems that their main reason is that the re-electionists need money.
03:26Others are afraid of the backlash of black voters.
03:32Cayoza said that now that the Senators have a copy of the Articles of Impeachment,
03:36they should also give a copy to VP Duterte.
03:41The deadline for the Constitution is clear, just 10 days.
03:44Give it to him so that he can answer.
03:46Let's find out what his answer is.
03:48They should start it properly because it's unfair to the Vice President in a way.
03:54The complaint is already on the website.
03:56It's already in the public domain, but the other party hasn't formally answered yet.
04:02What's happening is that there are trolls and their own interviews in the media.
04:06But in Cayoza's view, the Supreme Court gave the mandamus petition as an excuse
04:12for the separation of powers of the judicature and legislature.
04:15The Supreme Court doesn't want a constitutional crisis.
04:18The Supreme Court doesn't care much because that's what we call separation of powers
04:25and your political question, when will it start, it is up to the wisdom of the elected senators
04:33and your respect for a co-equal branch of government.
04:37Retired Associate Justice Antonio Carpio said earlier that he did not agree with the petition.
04:43Based on the Constitution, only the Senate has the power to hear and make decisions on all cases of impeachment.
04:51Only when there is a grave abuse of discretion can the Supreme Court come in,
04:56like during the time of the impeachment of Davide.
05:00It's up to the President to call a special session.
05:03You can't just give a mandamus.
05:05We asked Vice President Sara Duterte and Senate President Cheese Escudero for a comment,
05:10but they still have nothing to say.
05:12But before, Escudero said that in his opinion,
05:15a special session for impeachment does not need to be convened.
05:19The Vice President said that the first thing his legal team is preparing is impeachment.
05:23For GMA Integrated News, Mav Gonzales got 24 hours.
05:29This week, the LTFRB will also start the petition of a group of drivers
05:34to make the minimum fare in a jeep P15 from the current P13.
05:39Nico Juahe got it.
05:42Mang Glen is now paying P700 per day to his family from the jeepney.
05:48Even if it's not enough, it's more expensive to buy, especially the diesel.
05:53The diesel has increased, it has increased again.
05:56If it goes down, it's only P1, it has increased by P2.
05:59So if the high-passage plan continues,
06:02it's likely that he will pay more to his family.
06:06In February 2019, the LTFRB will have a hearing
06:09regarding the plan to make the minimum fare in a jeep P15 from the current P13.
06:35October 2023 was the last approval of the LTFRB
06:46to increase the minimum fare of public utility jeepneys from P12 to P13.
06:51For modern jeeps, from P14 to P15.
06:56So for the drivers, it's time to increase the fare in a jeep.
07:00It's a good thing that it's P15 because the diesel is high now.
07:05It's okay sir because the gas is too high.
07:08For me, it's too heavy. I've been in a jeep many times.
07:13The Alliance of Transport Operators and Drivers Association of the Philippines, or ALTODAP,
07:19clarified that one of the petitioners of the high-passage plan...
07:21We're asking for a provisional increase because if it goes down,
07:26we can easily lower the provisional increase for the driver so it will be enough.
07:32If there's a provisional increase, it will be easier for them to lower the fare.
07:37They talked to other petitioners like ACTO and PASANGMASDA.
07:41It depends on the high price of oil, the fare will go up or down.
07:47They understand their passengers.
07:49Like them, it's hard for them to buy high-passengers.
07:53But hopefully, they will understand, especially with the high price of oil,
07:58like what happened on Tuesday.
08:01For GMA Integrated News, I'm Nico Juage for Tutok 24 Horas.
08:06Four weather systems are causing rain in the country.
08:10According to the forecast, it's expected that there will be heavy rains
08:15in the Batanes and Babuyan Islands.
08:17Sheer line will bring heavy rains and isolated thunderstorms
08:22in the mainland of Cagayan, Isabela, Apayao, and Aurora.
08:26Heavy rains and thunderstorms will be experienced in some parts of Mindanao and Palawan
08:32due to the ITCZ or Intertropical Conversion Zone.
08:35Parts of the country will experience heavy rains and thunderstorms due to the Easter Leaks.
08:42According to the rainfall forecast of Metro Weather,
08:44it's possible to experience light to intense rains tomorrow
08:47in Northern, Central, and Southern Luzon.
08:50Light to intense rains can also be experienced in Central and Western Visayas,
08:55as well as in a large part of Mindanao.
08:59It's also possible to experience rain in Metro Manila tomorrow.
