00:00Let's be together in Taksi!
00:14A 10-wheeler hit a concrete barrier on Marcos Highway in Antipolo, Rizal.
00:19In another CCTV footage, the 10-wheeler almost hit another truck at the intersection.
00:25The 10-wheeler went straight to the footbridge where the two tricycles were parked.
00:33The driver of the truck was killed.
00:35According to the Antipolo Police, the driver of the truck was not injured.
00:39The driver of the truck was injured and is now in police custody.
00:47The man of the hostage is now in police custody in a printing shop in Recto, Manila.
00:52The suspect wants to pay a debt to him.
00:55Watch this. This is JP Sariano.
01:00Just yesterday afternoon, Recto Corner Avenue in Manila was flooded.
01:05A man suddenly entered a printing shop.
01:08The owner of the shop was stabbed and stabbed in the back of the shop.
01:13The men were chased by the police because of a case of rape.
01:19There were a lot of police chasing him.
01:21He had no choice.
01:23He suddenly entered the shop.
01:25We were shocked, sir. We couldn't believe it.
01:27One of the hostage's requests is to pay a debt to him and to see his mother.
01:33He was already doing that.
01:35He was already doing that.
01:38So when we talked to him about the problem,
01:42I found out that he was not paid by his employer.
01:45So it is a financial problem.
01:48The negotiation took more than an hour.
01:51Until...
01:52I gave the money to his parents.
01:56I told him to come to me. Nothing will happen to you.
02:00He lowered the knife.
02:02And that's it. Nothing happened.
02:05Nothing was done properly.
02:08We immediately sent our personnel to clear the area.
02:12It is very distracting when there are a lot of people.
02:16First of all, he can't hear the radio.
02:19He can't watch TV.
02:21At the same time, the communication is only with the negotiator or whoever came first.
02:26And it happened that he was already receiving water.
02:30And we were able to talk to him.
02:32Eventually, he gave it to us.
02:34And he gave up.
02:35The suspect was brought to MPD Station 3.
02:38He is facing the charges of illegal detention, alarm and scandal,
02:42and illegal possession of deadly weapons.
02:45I really didn't plan to host any hostages.
02:47I just ran to the police.
02:51That's why I went to Rectol.
02:54To get my salary.
02:56My salary for three days.
02:58They didn't want to give it to me.
02:59For GMA Integrated News, I am JP Soriano, your witness.
03:05The family of Duterte went to the Supreme Court
03:08to ban the Senate from continuing the impeachment trial
03:12against Vice President Sara Duterte.
03:15The Senate Minority Leader wrote to the Senate President
03:18to urge him to immediately start the litigation.
03:22Our witness, Ma'am Gonzalez.
03:28In the last session of February 5,
03:30the Senate was asked to transmit the Articles of Impeachment
03:33against Vice President Sara Duterte.
03:35The Senate President, Cheese Escudero, said
03:38they will not be able to start the impeachment trial
03:41while the session of Congress is on break.
03:43But in the letter of Senate Minority Leader Coco Pimentel to Escudero,
03:47he insisted that the Senate should immediately start the impeachment trial.
03:51In the letter, the provision of the Constitution states
03:53that the Senate should start the impeachment trial on the fourth week
03:57if the Senate receives the Articles of Impeachment from the Camera.
04:01It means the fourth week should start immediately.
04:04Senator Risa Hontiveros confirmed this.
04:07It is clear to us that once the Articles of Impeachment is transmitted to us,
04:13like what happened, we will immediately convene.
04:16Escudero has yet to comment on this.
04:18Senator Aimee Marcos said
04:20that the Constitution is not being passed immediately
04:23and there is already a petition in the Supreme Court regarding this.
04:26If the impeachment trial already started,
04:28she will not be inhibited even if she is a friend of the Vice President.
04:32I don't think it's necessary.
04:34We are fully aware of our duties as Senators
04:38and we'll study all the evidence that will be provided
04:42and rule and vote on all that.
04:48Senator Bato de la Rosa will also wait for the decision of the Supreme Court.
04:53I think the Supreme Court can interpret the Constitution.
04:57If they give the right interpretation of the Constitution,
05:01I don't think the Supreme Court will direct us to do our job.
05:06Aside from our Senate President,
05:10we will do that job in the proper time.
05:13There are two petitions in the Supreme Court.
05:16Last Friday, one petition was submitted
05:18asking the Senate to immediately start the impeachment trial.
05:22The court gave the Senate 10 days to comment on this matter.
05:26It was treated as an urgent case.
05:29This is also obvious from the fact that the Supreme Court
05:32gave them a non-extendable period of 10 days to comment.
05:35Impeachment is a nationwide concern
05:39that will be treated with urgency because of the gravity of the matter.
05:43We asked the Senate to comment on this matter.
05:46Earlier, a petition was also submitted to the Supreme Court
05:49asking the allies of the Duterte family
05:52to side with the impeachment complaint against Bice
05:55and to ban the Senate from doing so.
05:58Israeli Attorney Totorion pointed out that the impeachment complaint is defective
06:02because it violated the provision that only one impeachment complaint
06:06can be filed against an official within a year.
06:10There were already three impeachment complaints filed against Bice
06:15and the one-year ban should have been lifted.
06:18The fourth one was the validity of the verified impeachment complaint filed against the Senate.
06:23Vice President Duterte was not given due process
06:26and the congressmen were not given the right time to study the impeachment complaint.
06:32There was only around three hours between 12 o'clock to 3.15
06:38before it was included in the additional house business reference.
06:43And by that time, we feel and we have reasons to believe
06:48that some of the congressmen were not even able to peruse the complaint
06:54as well as assess the evidences attached in the impeachment complaint.
06:58We also asked the camera to comment.
07:01According to the spokesperson of the Supreme Court, they will immediately act on the petition.
07:06In these petitions, the Supreme Court acts on the matter
07:09by either requiring the parties to comment on the petition.
07:12For GMA Integrated News, I am Mav Gonzalez, your witness.
07:26The names of the Tulfos will remain in the dustbin despite the petition
07:30to disqualify them according to the Comelec.
07:33The Tulfos responded to the issue of political dynasty among them
07:37as mentioned in the petition.
07:40The witness is Sandra Aguinaldo.
07:46The Comelec promised that they will finish all the disqualification petitions
07:50that were submitted to them before the election on May 12.
07:53This includes the petition to disqualify the five Tulfo relatives who ran away in the election of 2025.
08:00Act-CIS Partylist Representative Erwin Tulfo,
08:04Act-CIS Partylist Representative Jocelyn Tulfo,
08:07Act-CIS Partylist Representative Ralph Tulfo,
08:11Act-CIS Partylist Nominee Wanda Tulfoteo,
08:13Act-CIS Partylist Nominee Wanda Tulfoteo,
08:16and Senatorial Candidate Ben Tulfo.
08:18In the petition submitted by the retired AFP General, Atty. Virgilio Garcia,
08:21two grounds were laid,
08:23particularly mentioned in Section 26, Article 2 of the 1987 Constitution
08:29where political dynasties are prohibited
08:32according to the definition set by the law.
08:35But there is no law that defines the definition set by Congressman Erwin Tulfo.
08:41There needs to be a law.
08:43Unfortunately, the Congress and the Senate are not moving yet.
08:47There needs to be a defining law, enabling law.
08:50Otherwise, where will we start?
08:53Ben Tulfo's answer is almost the same,
08:56even though he is against it, in the political dynasty.
08:59As long as there is no clear law, enabling law, who will implement it?
09:04It was also questioned in the petition if Tulfos are natural-born Filipinos,
09:08which is a requirement for running Senators and Congressmen.
09:12The petitioner said that they have been living in America for a long time,
09:15so they should look for proof that their Filipino citizenship is not lost.
09:20At the time of the petition,
09:22Congressman Erwin Tulfo was not seated as the DSWD Secretary
09:27due to the question of his citizenship.
09:30According to the party list that nominated the former Tourism Secretary Wanda Tulfo-Teo,
09:35the Tulfo family has not violated any law.
09:38According to their statements,
09:40Rep. Jocelyn and Ralph Tulfo are possibly politically motivated.
09:45Ralph Tulfo said that the petitioner, Garcia,
09:48is a second district representative of Quezon City.
09:53According to the committee, the names of the Tulfos in the ballot will still remain,
09:57but even if they decide,
09:59it can be filed in the Supreme Court,
10:02so it is possible that the election will reach it.
10:05If their case is not decided on time,
10:09and if they are loved,
10:12or if there is a proclamation,
10:15and then there is an assumption,
10:17and it has been asked,
10:18we cannot do anything if the case is not dismissed
10:21because the jurisdiction will be lost.
10:25My jurisdiction will go to the Senate Electoral Tribunal
10:29if the position is Senator
10:31and the House of Representatives Electoral Tribunal
10:34if the position is Congressman.
10:36For GMA Integrated News,
10:39I am Sandra Aguinaldo, your witness.
10:43LRT-1 will increase the cost of transportation from April 2.
10:47According to the approval of the Department of Transportation,
10:50the minimum single-journey ticket will be P20
10:54and P10 for the stored value.
10:57The end-to-end trip will be P55 for the single-journey ticket
11:03and P52 for the stored value.
11:06According to the Light Rail Manila Corporation,
11:08the approved increase is lower
11:10compared to what they requested in the DOTR.
11:14A coalition is pushing for a vaccine against dengue fever.
11:18Now, it is increasing in the country.
11:21Witness, Oscar Oida.
11:27Authorities and residents in Ilocos Region are alert
11:30because of the increase of dengue fever.
11:33We are always cleaning.
11:35It is hard.
11:36If you don't have money,
11:38you will be taken to the hospital
11:42if you don't have any expenses.
11:4480% of the cases in the region
11:47were reported that year
11:49compared to the same period in 2024.
11:52The highest number was in Pangasinan,
11:54where two people were infected.
11:57In Quezon City,
11:58almost 2,000 cases of dengue fever were reported in the city.
12:02Eleven people were infected.
12:04According to the Quezon City Epidemiology and Surveillance Division,
12:08almost 200% of the cases of dengue fever
12:12from January 1 to February 14
12:15compared to the same period last year.
12:19That's why in Tandang Sora Elementary School,
12:21students are being encouraged to wear long sleeves
12:25and long socks
12:27to avoid getting bitten by mosquitoes.
12:30Five students were infected with dengue fever
12:32in the school this year.
12:34Mosquitoes fly low.
12:39So, the ones that get bitten
12:42are either the child's arms or legs.
12:46They also recommended the use of mosquito repellent.
12:50Parent volunteers continue to clean around the school.
12:55It's okay because they have protection.
13:00For me, it's okay.
13:02Of course, there are a lot of people who have died.
13:07It's hard to take care of one child.
13:10According to the Department of Health,
13:12almost 30,000 cases of dengue fever have been reported in the country
13:17from January 1 to February 1 this year.
13:20Most of the cases are in the Siam area
13:22inside the Calabar Zone, Central Zone, and NCR.
13:26We have a Siam LGU,
13:28which is also part of Quezon City.
13:30We have seen an increase in the number of cases.
13:34Because of the alarming number of cases,
13:37Empowering Networks to Defeat Dengue or End Dengue Coalition asked the President
13:42to stop looking for a vaccine against dengue fever.
13:47WHO recommended that for highly endemic countries,
13:54like the Philippines,
13:56use effective methods.
14:00Vaccine is one of them.
14:02According to the DOH,
14:03the Food and Drug Administration is currently studying a vaccine.
14:08The DOH's advice now is for everyone.
14:11Science is planned and ensured.
14:15We should monitor the evaluation of the Food and Drug Administration.
14:20PhilHealth increased the coverage for severe dengue cases.
14:24It means that patients can claim up to P47,000.
14:30For GMA News,
14:32I am Oscar Oidang Inyong.
14:34Saksi!
