00:00International Criminal Court is now in session.
00:03Rodrigo Rua Duterte.
00:13The Senate Committee on Foreign Relations is now discussing the arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte last week.
00:20We will investigate if the former president's rights were violated and if there was a due process back then.
00:26We have invited Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulia,
00:32DILG Secretary John Vic Remulia,
00:34National Security Advisor Eduardo Año,
00:37PNP Chief General Romel Marbil,
00:39and PNP-CIDG Chief Police Major General Nicolas Torre III.
00:44The committee's goal is to clarify the relationship between the government and international tribunals
00:50as well as the issues related to the jurisdiction of the Philippines.
00:54Malacanang said that the arrest of the former president was legal on March 11
00:59under an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court.
01:03PNP followed the request of the International Criminal Police Organization or INTERPOL.
01:08Malacanang will not stop the hearings of the committee.
01:12They will respect it even if it is in aid of legislation.
01:15Stay tuned for more details of the hearings later.
01:20Meanwhile, a man was injured in San Jose del Monte, Bulacan
01:24after he was hit by a motorcycle while riding in tandem.
01:30This is the story of Bea Pinlac.
01:35This man was riding a motorcycle in Barangay Caipian in San Jose del Monte, Bulacan
01:40on Tuesday night
01:41when it seemed that two men were chasing him while he was riding another motorcycle.
01:46Later, he was blocked.
01:49The motorcycle's engine went down and the gun was fired.
01:52The victim was also injured.
01:54We waited for the victim.
01:56He was hit.
01:59The back ride went down.
02:01The bullet went out.
02:03The victim was injured.
02:05He hit the side of the road.
02:07He was only able to move his motorcycle.
02:10He was wearing two helmets.
02:12I saw the end of his helmet.
02:14When he got out, he was already carrying his motorcycle.
02:16After the crime, the suspects were able to ride a motorcycle separately.
02:22The victim was able to run to ask for help.
02:25I need help. I need help.
02:28Help me. I need help.
02:30Help me. I need help.
02:33According to the victim's mother,
02:35she ordered her son to cash in at the store for his e-wallet.
02:40After 10 minutes,
02:43he shouted at the gate,
02:45Mommy, Mommy, help me.
02:46I was able to hold up.
02:48The motorcycle, Mommy, he took the motorcycle.
02:50I told him not to talk. It's okay. It's just a motorcycle.
02:53As long as you're alive.
02:54The victim was rushed to the hospital because he was injured on his side.
02:59When the victim went to the police,
03:01he noticed that his wallet was full when he was still at the store.
03:06Before he was allowed to cash in at a convenience store,
03:10he noticed that our suspects were already there.
03:12After he cashed in, he went to the basketball court to watch the game.
03:18He thought that the next person he saw would also go to the court to watch the league.
03:23The victim continued to go to the hospital.
03:26His family asked for justice.
03:29I didn't have mercy on my son. He's so skinny.
03:34He didn't fight. He gave you his motorcycle.
03:36Why did you have to hit him?
03:39Why did you have to hurt him?
03:41The police also pointed out to the suspect
03:43that he could face carnapping and frustrated homicide.
03:47Bea Pinlac reporting for GMA Integrated News.
03:52The heavy traffic in some parts of the North Azon Expressway
03:56started yesterday.
03:58It resulted in the closure of lanes 2 and 3
04:00under the Marilao Interchange Bridge.
04:03It was reported that the bridge was damaged
04:06after it was hit by two trucks yesterday morning.
04:09The bridge itself was also closed.
04:11Zipper Lane opened
04:12in the southbound lane of NLEX to ease the traffic.
04:16But earlier this morning,
04:17the cars in Bukawitol Plaza almost stopped moving.
04:23Around 9 in the morning,
04:24traffic reached Mindanao Avenue and Carujatan in Valenzuela.
04:29NLEX ordered that those traveling north
04:31may exit Carujatan, Paso de Blas,
04:33and Maycawayan to MacArthur Highway
04:36before NLEX re-enters Ciudad de Victoria or Bukaway Interchange.
04:41Those traveling south
04:42may exit Bukaway Interchange or Ciudad de Victoria
04:45to MacArthur Highway
04:47and re-enter NLEX in Maycawayan-Tolgay.
04:51Let's update on the heavy traffic in NLEX
04:53that closed the Marilao Interchange Bridge
04:55after it was hit by two trucks yesterday.
04:58Let's talk to Robin Ignacio,
05:00Assistant Vice President for Traffic Operations of NLEX.
05:03Good morning and welcome to Balitang Hali.
05:07Good morning, sir Raffy,
05:09and welcome to Balitang Hali.
05:12Have you found a way to ease the traffic in the area?
05:17What are the alternative routes for those traveling in NLEX?
05:21Yes, what we are doing, sir,
05:24is implementing a counter-flow.
05:28We have a continuous counter-flow,
05:32but if the southbound traffic is prolonged,
05:38we temporarily stop the counter-flow.
05:41One alternative we have is to reroute the motorists.
05:50Actually, as early as EDSA,
05:52if the traffic in the northbound is prolonged,
05:56almost here in Balintawak-Tolpasa,
06:00they can go straight to MacArthur.
06:03They can go to Bukaway Bypass Road
06:08and they can access through CDV Interchange.
06:12They can enter the northbound.
06:15They have already passed the congested areas.
06:23Instead of CDV Interchange,
06:27they can take the route towards Bukaway Interchange
06:30and enter the northbound entry of Bukaway Interchange.
06:40For the southbound, they can also enter Bukaway Interchange
06:46before entering Plaza and then towards MacArthur.
06:51They can enter through Expressway
06:53or they can go straight to EDSA.
06:57Of course, your rerouting scheme is on your website
07:00and on your social media accounts.
07:04Yes, these are the possible routes that they can use for rerouting.
07:10In your initial assessment,
07:11how big is the damage and how long will it last?
07:16Yes, our engineers and our contractor
07:21immediately decided to do it
07:24on the early morning of the meeting,
07:28the Marilong Bridge.
07:30Their assessment is that it will take 2 to 3 weeks to repair.
07:36It started last night.
07:40They put a show ring support
07:43to ensure that the area is safe while it is being done.
07:51We need to keep the lanes closed
07:56so that our motorists can be safe.
08:00There should be no stopping
08:06so that before Holy Week,
08:08we can open the lanes.
08:10So you will chase the whole lane before Holy Week.
08:14Is there a chance that there is a lane that can be opened
08:17once the bridge is repaired?
08:20That is what we will see
08:22if our engineers and our contractor can do the assessment.
08:28In your opinion,
08:29is it better for the motorists to alternate routes
08:32and call for a halt or stay on the expressway?
08:36Because other motorists want to stay there
08:39and halt the long traffic.
08:40How long will the traffic last if they stay on the expressway?
08:46Actually, they are choosing the straight route.
08:53There are instances that at times,
08:58the traffic flow to MacArthur slows down.
09:04But there are times when it is more spacious.
09:08So we suggest that they look for a faster route.
09:15Even though this is an accident,
09:17is it possible to consider free passage
09:19on the Marilao-Tol Plaza
09:21if the traffic will last this long?
09:25Yes.
09:26We will wait for our management
09:30to decide what they can do about it.
09:36You mentioned that the traffic to MacArthur Highway is slowing down.
09:39What is your coordination with the LGU
09:41to limit the traffic and coordinate the traffic from the NLEX?
09:46Yes.
09:47We have talked to the LGU of Bukawe, Marilao, and Amicaway.
09:53Even though what happened in Tulay,
09:56we sometimes get information
10:01to say that the free route is slower
10:05or that they are inside.
10:08But because of the long traffic inside,
10:12we see that it is easier for them to reroute.
10:16What is the possible punishment of the truck driver for this incident?
10:21The truck driver and the owner
10:25can be charged with reckless imprudence
10:28resulting in damage to property.
10:30But you will still assess this?
10:34I think that's it, sir.
10:36We are undergoing the process of filing a case
10:41against the driver and the owner of the truck.
10:45Okay.
10:46Lastly,
10:47are you aware of the road to the NLEX?
10:49If there is no important road,
10:51don't continue?
10:52Or what is the alternative route other than this one
10:54to MacArthur Highway?
10:55It's up to you.
10:56Yes.
10:57That's right, sir.
10:59You are right.
11:00If they can,
11:02don't continue their journey.
11:05Those are the important routes
11:09that cannot be cancelled
11:11or that need to be continued.
11:13That's it.
11:14Just look at the current situation of Expressway.
11:18How long is the traffic here.
11:21And regarding the rerouting,
11:24they see that it is easier there.
11:26They will reroute here instead.
11:29Okay.
11:30Thank you very much for your time this afternoon.
11:34Thank you very much, Raffy.
11:35And thank you to all our listeners.
11:39Okay.
11:40NLEX Assistant Vice President for Traffic Operations,
11:42Robin Ignacio.
11:48It is raining now in some parts of the country.
11:51According to the forecast,
11:53it will rain heavily in the Eastern Samar.
11:58It is also expected to rain heavily in the Northern Samar,
12:03Samar Biliran, Leyte, Southern Leyte,
12:06Masbate, and Sorsogon.
12:08Residents are being alerted
12:10in case of floods or landslides.
12:12The rainy season in the aforementioned areas
12:15is the effect of shear line.
12:17It is also windy in Luzon.
12:20On Thursday,
12:21it will continue to be hot and humid in some parts of the country.
12:24The heat index in Puerto Princesa, Palawan
12:28may reach the danger level of 42 degrees Celsius.
12:3137 degrees Celsius in Pasay
12:33while 36 degrees Celsius here in Quezon City.
12:39Almost 200 employees were arrested
12:41in the raid of a special class BPO in Makati City.
12:45But it was a Pogoraw.
12:47Let's find out with Sally Marefran.
12:51Warrant of arrest was issued by PNP-CIDG,
12:54PAOC, and Makati Police
12:55when a commercial building in Makati City was raided.
13:00When the warrant was issued,
13:01many foreigners were seen in the company
13:04that identified a special class BPO.
13:07The company is backed by online sports betting,
13:10offshore gambling, and casino platforms.
13:13But when they were checked in Pagcor,
13:15they did not have a license.
13:17The initial thing we saw was an online gaming platform
13:24that was banned in other countries.
13:26On the screen we saw,
13:28it was being cheated by different countries.
13:31That's why there were Japanese inside,
13:34Malaysians, Chinese, Taiwanese,
13:38Hong Kong and Brazilians.
13:43The operation of Umanoy Pogo is also being scammed.
13:47Aside from computers, cell phones, and SIM cards,
13:50there are also text blasters,
13:52MCs, or International Mobile Subscriber Identity Catchers,
13:56and OTP generators.
13:58According to PAOC, this is dangerous.
14:01Many embassies are also operating in Gusali.
14:04It's dangerous.
14:05We know about the hacking,
14:09the presence of hackers.
14:12It's a security risk.
14:17135 foreigners were arrested.
14:20They will be under the verification of their immigration status.
14:2453 Filipinos,
14:26including the subject of the warrant,
14:28wanted for the robbery case.
14:30Gusali is also investigating
14:33why a Umanoy Pogo was able to operate there.
14:37GMA Integrated News continues to get
14:40more information about the management of Gusali.
14:43Sarima Nefra reports for GMA Integrated News.
14:51Meanwhile, a farmer lost his crop
14:54and threw it away.
15:00A ton of bell peppers and a truck of squash
15:04were left on the side of the road
15:07in Maambong, Barangay.
15:09It's now free for the residents there.
15:12The buyer didn't take it because the warehouse is full.
15:16The ship didn't travel to sell it in Manila.
15:21Even if he sold it,
15:22the farmers won't be able to get it back
15:25because of the high prices now.
15:28The squash is only P6 per kilo,
15:31while the bell pepper is P15 per kilo.
15:34The average price in Metro Manila
15:36based on the monitoring of the Department of Agriculture
15:39is P52 per kilo of squash,
15:42while the bell pepper is P190 per kilo.
15:48The Agriculture Office in Bukidnon
15:51was informed of what happened there,
15:53but they haven't been notified yet.
