00:00From yesterday until now and until this morning, the traffic in the North Luzon Expressway in Marilau, Bulacan has been heavy.
00:21And again, the construction of the interchange bridge that was hit by two trucks.
00:27Let's go back to the situation there in the first live news of EJ Gomez. EJ.
00:37Egan, as of past 7 a.m. and because it's rush hour, the trucks here in the length of the northbound lane of Enlex here in Marilau, Bulacan are already busy.
00:50According to Enlex Corporation, as of 6 a.m. earlier, that was their last update, the buildup of traffic has reached almost four kilometers.
01:05The traffic here in Enlex Northbound Lane has been heavy since early this morning because of the collision of two trucks under the Marilau Interchange Bridge.
01:15Around 5.45 a.m. yesterday, Enlex Corporation first notified the public about the incident.
01:23A zipper was opened in the southbound lane of the expressway to reduce the traffic.
01:28Until this time, the repair work is still going on.
01:32According to Enlex Corporation, the Marilau Interchange Bridge is still closed for the safety of motorists.
01:40It is not passable for vehicles or motorcycles.
01:44Motorists, particularly those going to MacArthur Highway and San Jose del Monte, are advised to pass through alternative routes.
01:51Enlex Corporation is advising motorists going to Bulacan or Pampanga to pass through the Enlex-Carujatan Exit via Enlex Harbor Link Interchange or Enlex Paso de Blas Northbound Exit
02:04or Enlex Mecawayan Northbound Exit towards MacArthur Highway.
02:10They can also re-enter through Enlex-CDC Northbound or Enlex-Bukawe Interchange.
02:15For those traveling from Bulacan or Pampanga to Manila,
02:19Enlex-Bukawe Southbound Interchange Exit or Enlex-CDC Southbound Exit is an alternative route.
02:27They can also pass through MacArthur Highway and enter again through Enlex Mecawayan Southbound.
02:34Igan, Enlex Corporation has not yet given an update on the time and date of their repair works on the bridge of the two trucks yesterday.
02:47That's why Enlex Corporation is advising motorists to be patient because traffic started earlier at 1 a.m.
02:56Until now, and because it's rush hour, they are more patient and they expect that they will be more patient in the next hours.
03:04Here's the first news from Bulacan, EJ Gomez for GMA Integrated News.
03:11Congratulations to the heavy traffic on the North Luzon Expressway.
03:16We have Robin Ignacio, the Assistant Vice President for Traffic Operations of Enlex.
03:21Good morning Robin.
03:23Good morning Sir Igan. Good morning to our viewers.
03:27First, how long is the traffic on Enlex? Where is it?
03:33Until you reach Marilao Bridge, how many minutes or hours will you wait?
03:42Yes. As of now, the traffic is getting longer because it's rush hour.
03:50Our turn-in is here in Valenzuela area.
03:52Between 7 to 8 kilometers is the moving traffic.
03:56It will take you around 40 to 45 minutes before you reach Tulay.
04:02How far is Pinzala from Marilao Interchange Bridge?
04:08The truck hit the two gear gears.
04:16There's a shoring and that's why our two lanes are closed.
04:24Will it take hours or days?
04:27Actually Sir Igan, it will take between two to three weeks to complete the restoration.
04:37Yes Sir, two to three weeks.
04:39Now that the two lanes are closed on Enlex, where can motorists go?
04:46Will they return to MacArthur Highway?
04:49Yes. Actually, we have teams in Balintawak to assist.
04:55I think we already know a lot of motorists who use Enlex.
05:02For the northbound route, you can use MacArthur Highway.
05:05That's our alternate route.
05:07You can also use Bukawe Bypass Road towards Ciudad de Victoria, Philippine Arena.
05:16Or you can also use Bukawe before entering Enlex.
05:21After Marilao area, those are the entrances.
05:26Has anyone checked the height of the truck before entering or exiting Enlex?
05:31Will they pass it?
05:33Yes Sir. Actually, we have dedicated teams to measure it.
05:38That night, I mean the other night, we have dedicated teams.
05:43They have more than 100 trucks and out of the 100,
05:49more than 20 were overhyped.
05:51They were diverted to go out and not to reach the bridge.
05:56Those who reached Marilao Bridge were able to reach it.
06:01They went through a different route, not the truck lane.
06:05Okay. But according to the information...
06:08Yes Sir.
06:09Okay Robin.
06:11We have dedicated teams to measure it.
06:16We have added more personnel to ensure that there will be no unsafe trucks.
06:24Yes, because there was an accident.
06:26But Robin, according to the information given to me by some truckers associations,
06:31they have been complaining about this interchange for a long time.
06:36The road is in good condition.
06:39The asphalt is in good condition.
06:41The bridge is going up.
06:43But the DPWH is not in good condition because it is not a major road.
06:47Did the LGU coordinate you so that the bridge will be in good condition before the accident?
06:55Yes Sir. Actually, years back, we have coordinated with DPWH.
07:01But that's what the local authorities are instructing.
07:03We have also coordinated with the local authorities,
07:06but the local authorities are not accepting the bridge.
07:10All the bridges that are interchanged here in Endex are not in Endex.
07:18They are not in Endex Sir.
07:20Under the DPWH or the local government unit.
07:24I hope it was avoided.
07:27Mark. Mark.
07:29Yes. That's what they're saying about the delay in the asphalt.
07:34We are still maintaining the EverSys clearance height,
07:40or the clearance height of 4.5 meters Sir, across.
07:44Okay. Thank you very much.
07:46Robby Ignacio, assistant vice president for traffic operations of Endex.

09:19Joseph Morong for GMA Integrated News.
09:23The defense team of former President Rodrigo Duterte
09:26for the litigation of the International Criminal Court is still being formed.
09:29According to the lead counsel of Atty. Nicholas Kaufman,
09:31they need a Filipino lawyer.
09:34Live from The Hague,
09:35we have the first news with us, Maris Umali.
09:39Maris?
09:41Susan, how will you fight and overcome the complaint
09:44of Crimes Against Humanity
09:46that former President Rodrigo Duterte is facing
09:49in the International Criminal Court
09:51that was discussed by the former President
09:53and his lead counsel, Atty. Nicholas Kaufman
09:56when he visited the former President
09:59in the Scriven and Gantt Prison earlier this afternoon.
10:05Even though all foreign defense agencies are coming out,
10:09under the defense of former President Rodrigo Duterte
10:12in the ICC,
10:13the legal team of Duterte
10:15could possibly be added by a Filipino lawyer
10:18according to his lead counsel, Atty. Kaufman.
10:21What help will the Filipino lawyer
10:23need in Duterte's case in the ICC?
10:30There is an essential element of any case
10:33of the International Criminal Court
10:35that there is a need for foreign lawyers.
10:38So there will definitely be involvement of Filipino lawyers.
10:40I need them.
10:45When asked if there is a possibility
10:47that former Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea
10:50and Atty. Harry Roque
10:52will be included in the defense team,
10:54Atty. Kaufman has not yet answered.
10:59I'm not commenting on the name of the counsel,
11:02in any way whatsoever.
11:04And that doesn't mean that I'm approving
11:06or disapproving of any nomination
11:08or any name that you're mentioning.
11:10The announcement will be made in due course.
11:22At around 2 p.m.,
11:23Atty. Kaufman visited earlier this afternoon
11:25and said that he will do this every day
11:27so that the defense team can be completed
11:29as soon as possible
11:31and that their legal steps can be laid out.
11:36And everybody saw what happened to him
11:39when he returned to the Philippines,
11:41was put onto a plane,
11:43and thrown over here.
11:45So you will be filing for interim release?
11:49I'm not going to divulge defense strategy.
11:58He did not mention the details
12:00of their petitions.
12:03However, Atty. Kaufman said
12:05that one of the basis
12:07was the way to arrest the former president.
12:10The former president also sent a message
12:13to the Filipinos.
12:16All I want to say at the present moment in time
12:18is that he sends all his well-wishers
12:20and supporters the very best.
12:26As an accuser in a murder case
12:28as a crime against humanity,
12:30the former president Duterte has the right
12:32to know what he is being accused of.
12:34And he is also included in the office
12:36of the prosecutor of the ICC
12:38in the Philippines.
12:40And he is also included in the office
12:42of the prosecutor of the ICC
12:45in the defense team
12:47as a witness
12:49and other evidence.
12:51Susan?
12:53Thank you very much, Maris Umali.
12:55The International Criminal Court
12:57will give protection
12:59to the witnesses
13:01in the complaint of crimes against humanity
13:03that the former president Rodrigo Duterte is facing.
13:09According to the website of the ICC,
13:11this is for all the witnesses
13:14whether it is defense or prosecution.
13:16The ICC will issue a case
13:18on the visa of the witnesses
13:20if they need to go to
13:22the Hague, Netherlands.
13:24While there, they will receive an allowance
13:26and they will exchange any income
13:28or income
13:30that they will lose while witnessing the case.
13:32If the judges allow,
13:34they can also use an alias,
13:36hide the face and change the voice of the witness
13:38for his security.
13:40It is also possible for the closed session
13:43or for the judges to face the witnesses.
13:45It is also possible for them to speak
13:47using video conferencing.
13:49If there is a serious threat to the witness,
13:51he can also relocate with his family.
13:55He just reminded
13:57Vice President Sara Duterte
13:59that he still has duties here in the country.
14:01His brother,
14:03Davao City Mayor Baste Duterte
14:05has an excuse.
14:07The administration is targeting
14:09their family, which is what the palace
14:12reported.
14:18Until April 30,
14:20the travel authority's visa was given
14:22to Vice President Sara Duterte
14:24by the Office of the President.
14:26But she has a reminder to VP Sara.
14:28She needs the Philippines as a VC President.
14:30She should be working
14:32not only for her father,
14:34although it is acceptable
14:36and we can understand
14:38her feelings now,
14:41but she should remember
14:43that millions of Filipinos
14:45voted for her
14:47and she should serve her country.
14:49Malacanang said this
14:51when he was asked about the new names
14:53when the OVP received confidential funds
14:55and if Malacanang will do anything
14:57to make the VC answer about these names.
14:59Jay Camote,
15:01Miggy Mango,
15:03Dodong Gang
15:05and Xiaomi 8.
15:07They are still petty people
15:09If this was discovered,
15:11the investigation
15:13will be even more
15:15thorough.
15:17Why?
15:19Because it is the right
15:21of the people to know
15:23where they are spending
15:25the money,
15:27the fund of the country.
15:29We are trying to get the Vice President's
15:31answer about Malacanang's statement
15:33about the new names
15:35received by confidential funds.
15:38We don't know the answer
15:40because
15:42as we speak,
15:44we don't know how they handle
15:46the chain of evidence.
15:48We don't know if
15:50the office of the Vice President
15:52really answered it.
15:54In a discussion
15:56that was live-streamed on social media,
15:58the younger brother of the VC,
16:00Davao City Mayor Baste Duterte,
16:02said that the administration
16:04of Marcos made them angry.
16:07This is the situation
16:09when you single out
16:11the President.
16:13You are targeted.
16:15You are targeted.
16:17The situation is heavy.
16:19The situation is heavy.
16:21As for the arrest of Mayor Baste,
16:23according to Palacio,
16:25they have nothing to do here
16:27because the former President
16:29has a warrant from the ICC.
16:31Despite the lack of investigation
16:33and the non-filing of cases,
16:36the ICC pushed them
16:38to continue their investigation.
16:40The former administration
16:42did not take any action.
16:44No one is singled out here.
16:46The cases here
16:48about crimes against humanity
16:50were also done
16:52by his father
16:54who is targeting them.
16:56Palacio continues to argue
16:58that the power of the ICC
17:00is no longer in the clout of the Philippines
17:02since it left the country in 2019.
17:04The ICC is recognizing
17:06the jurisdiction of these cases
17:08before the end of the year.
17:10The re-entering of the ICC
17:12is still not discussed.
17:14This is the first news,
17:16Ivan Merina for GMA Integrated News.
17:22Encantadics are excited
17:24about the upcoming GMA Prime Series
17:26which is Sangre, The Encantadia Chronicles.

17:30of the program,
17:32Direk Rico Gutierrez,
17:34took a picture
17:36of the four weapons
17:38of Sangre.
17:40You can see the three swords
17:42with different colors,
