Transcript

00:00This is Philippine Government.

00:04This is a ballot that was rejected first.

00:07Live from the GMA Network Center, this is 24 Horas.

00:15Good evening, Luzon Visayas and Mindanao.

00:19In a flash, the chase of a car and motorcycle in Las Peñas City ended.

00:25According to the investigation, the rider got out of the car after he scratched the driver's phone.

00:31The rider who was found dead is facing a different case.

00:35The one who was arrested was under an inquest.

00:38And Oscar Oida was found guilty.

00:43CCTV was able to capture the chase of a motorcycle and a car in Zapote, Las Peñas.

00:50At 4.30 am on Monday.

00:52He got home after he scratched the motorcycle.

00:57Before that, a witness saw the rider scratching the driver's phone.

01:05So he thinks that the driver intended to scratch the rider.

01:10I was in a hurry to get here when the motorcycle scratched my phone.

01:18According to another witness, he also scratched the driver of the car.

01:23That's why he chased the rider.

01:25I saw that the motorcycle scratched the driver.

01:28The owner of the motorcycle said that he scratched the driver's phone.

01:34That's why he chased and scratched the driver to get the cell phone.

01:38According to the police, in the middle of the chase...

01:41The victim suddenly stopped.

01:43So the suspect was able to see the back of the motorcycle.

01:46The victim was able to see the back of the motorcycle.

01:49The rider tried to rush to the hospital.

01:53But he was later brought back to life.

01:56When the police checked the victim's background...

01:59The victim has an RA-9165.

02:02He also has a robbery case and a 16-auto case.

02:05The driver of the car immediately surrendered to the authorities.

02:09He was inquested for reckless imprudence resulting in homicide and damage to property.

02:15When we inquested him, the victim's relatives were pedophiles of desistance.

02:22That's why our city prosecutor issued a release order.

02:28The dead rider is now in jail.

02:31The family of the victim pleaded for mercy when we tried to interrogate him.

02:37For GMA Integrated News, Oscar Oida was arrested for 24 hours.

02:44A rider and a taxi driver in Cebu were also arrested...

02:50Because of driving in the middle of the road.

02:53Femarie Dumabok of GMA Regional TV was arrested.

03:01This was noticed by a red-haired man and a taxi driver in Talisay City, Cebu on Monday.

03:16That's why traffic enforcers immediately arrested them.

03:19In a police investigation, it was found out that the rider was on the left side of a street.

03:24He was driving a red-haired taxi.

03:27According to the rider, the taxi driver intended to hit the motorcycle's wheel and even used his dirty finger.

03:34Until he got home after a confrontation and a punch, the taxi driver denied the allegations.

03:40In the end, the two were reconciled. According to the police, he admitted that he was hit in the head.

03:47That's why no one filed a complaint.

03:49We are very sorry.

03:51We are very sorry.

03:53Especially that we don't know if this is a problem of a person or a motorist.

04:02Both parties are amicably settled.

04:04They are happy after that road rage.

04:09From GMA Regional TV and GMA Integrated News, Femarie Dumabok was arrested for 24 hours.

04:17He was arrested while playing in a computer shop.

04:22He was arrested and taken to Baras Rizal's house.

04:25Suspect, his neighbor was the victim.

04:29EJ Gomez, Exclusive, was on the scene.

04:35In the CCTV footage of this house in Baras Rizal on March 22,

04:40a man entered the house.

04:42It was discovered that he was one of the victims.

04:46The suspect was charged with 10,000 pesos in cash and about 3,000 pesos in bribes.

04:53According to the victim, no one in the house was involved in the theft.

04:57When I went to the house, I saw that the door was already open.

05:02I saw that the three rooms were already open.

05:05One of the rooms was broken.

05:08It was locked.

05:09The doors were open and the items were spread out.

05:13All the bags were open.

05:15The CCTV footage was also removed.

05:18The CCTV footage was also removed.

05:20But he was already arrested.

05:22It was easy for us to identify the suspect.

05:25When we were able to find him,

05:28we found the place where the suspect usually hangs out,

05:33in a computer shop where he plays.

05:36In the computer shop itself, the police arrested the suspect.

05:44The suspect was not able to recover the stolen money

05:48because he used it for gambling.

05:50The suspects were instructed by the suspect where to hide the money.

05:56When the bag was opened,

05:59it was positive.

06:02In the police investigation,

06:04the suspect is the neighbor of the victim.

06:07There were many complaints against him.

06:09Many people were involved in that.

06:11There were also groups of young people

06:15who were involved in that.

06:17Sometimes, it was in a shop.

06:19But we also arrested them

06:21and sent them to jail.

06:23The 23-year-old suspect

06:25was previously jailed for drugs in 2020.

06:28I just brought what I needed.

06:30That's why I did it.

06:32The suspect will file a complaint of robbery

06:35in the Baras Police Custodial Facility.

06:38For GMA Integrated News,

06:40EJ Gomez,

06:4224 hours have passed.

06:45Young Rodrigo Roa Duterte.

06:50Vice President Sara Duterte

06:52has insisted that their camp

06:54from Malacanang will not be requested.

06:56Even in the Philippines,

06:58former President Rodrigo Duterte

07:00wants to return.

07:02And even if the state

07:04that will accept him

07:06needs to help him

07:08if they can give their interim release.

07:10From The Hague, Netherlands,

07:12this is Maris Umali.

07:14Maris.

07:19Emil, the former President Rodrigo Duterte's camp

07:22insisted that even in the Philippines,

07:24they will still ask

07:26to temporarily release the former president

07:28when it's time for them to petition

07:30for an interim release.

07:35The former President Rodrigo Duterte

07:37wants an interim release.

07:39Vice President Sara Duterte said

07:41that even in the Philippines,

07:43they will still ask to return the former president.

07:45I fear for his life in the Philippines.

07:47But we follow

07:49what the client wants,

07:51what President Duterte wants,

07:53and he wants to go home.

07:55The International Criminal Court

07:57said that if they will allow him

07:59to return to the Philippines,

08:01the government needs to accept

08:03his conditions.

08:05But Malacanang also said

08:07that they will not help him in the ICC.

08:09We did not ask for the palace.

08:11We did not ask for the palace or anything.

08:14Well, that is something

08:15that they have to think about.

08:17The story of Vice President Duterte

08:19after visiting his father yesterday

08:21at the ICC Detention Center

08:23is different now

08:25after the former President Duterte

08:27talked to supporters

08:29who are not aware of the case

08:31facing the International Criminal Court.

08:33We have a relationship now,

08:35a father-daughter relationship

08:37since we cannot discuss anything legal anymore

08:39because it is understood inside

08:41that only the lawyers

08:43can discuss legal matters

08:45with the former President.

08:47So we only discuss about family

08:49and this has been

08:51one of the longest

08:56meetings I have had

09:00with the former President.

09:03And now I have this every day

09:06with him talking about life,

09:08talking about family,

09:10and for that I feel like

09:13I am blessed.

09:15It is sad that it has to happen inside the ICC.

09:19I decided the detention.

09:21For this, Vice President Duterte

09:23is thankful to President Bongbong Marcos

09:25even though he was the one

09:27who had his father arrested.

09:29This really is ironic

09:31but I have to thank

09:33Bongbong Marcos

09:35because there was forgiveness

09:37between me and PRD

09:41for all that has happened

09:43to our lives.

10:14This is CJ Torrida

10:16of GMA Regional TV.

10:44The mother got scared

10:46because she panicked

10:48and she forgot her son.

10:50She brought him back.

10:52Because of her panic,

10:54she saw that the fire was too strong

10:56and their exit was from that side.

10:58So they were trapped sir.

11:00Another old man was also injured

11:02when he tried to save the two victims.

11:04The BFP is also aware of the fire

11:06that lasted for more than two hours.

11:08There was also a fire in a school

11:10in Lawag City.

11:11Some students were evacuated

11:13because of the fire in the school theater.

11:15According to the school janitor,

11:17there was a fire extinguisher

11:19but it couldn't handle the fire.

11:22The BFP is also aware

11:24of the fire

11:26but it is one of the reasons

11:28why the theater is being re-welded.

11:30From GMA Regional TV

11:32and GMA Integrated News,

11:34CJ Torrida,

11:3624 Hours.

11:38The Energy Department

11:39assured that the current supply

11:41of electricity is sufficient.

11:43It ordered the power plants

11:45to conduct a repair and maintenance

11:47that will not be allowed

11:49for a week before the election

11:51that will be held by Mark Salazar.

11:55Even if the consumption of people

11:57is increasing by 20%

11:59in the current heat,

12:01the Department of Energy

12:03assured that the current supply

12:05is sufficient.

12:07It can still provide

12:09electricity.

12:11There are still unexpected

12:13arrangements to be made.

12:15They told the power plants

12:17to conduct a repair

12:19or maintenance work

12:21before the peak demand

12:23this summer.

12:25Just this weekend,

12:27two large natural gas power plants

12:29in Luzon shut down

12:31for repair.

12:33It did not affect the supply.

12:35At the moment,

12:36we are expecting

12:38that the demand for natural gas

12:40will increase

12:42to 2,500 megawatts

12:44to be able to supply

12:46our gas

12:48so that our plants

12:50can run completely.

12:52The DOE also ordered

12:54the plants

12:56to generate their power

12:58at full capacity

13:00so that the yellow and red alerts

13:02on power supply

13:04will not be repeated

13:06with the expectation

13:08that the demand for electricity

13:10in certain areas

13:12depends on the heat index

13:14and the amount of electricity being consumed.

13:16Instead of relying

13:18on our peak demand forecast,

13:20we are now mixing

13:22the effect of

13:24the hot environment

13:26so that we can increase

13:28the unpassed

13:30peak demand projection

13:32so that our supply

13:34can run again.

13:36The DOE also ordered

13:38a simultaneous simulation

13:40with the COMELEC

13:42to be ready for the May elections.

13:44No preventive or repair

13:46and maintenance program

13:48will be conducted

13:50at least one week before

13:52and one week after the election.

13:54All of our power plants

13:56should be ready

13:58to provide

14:00to the full capacity

14:02of their plants.

14:04The same goes for

14:0624 hours.

14:11Happy Midweek, Kapuso!

14:13All the way from Zambaga City,

14:15the charm of Batang Riles

14:17performed for the Kapuso

14:19in a mall show there.

14:21And until online,

14:23their cute dance moves

14:25were featured in the new

14:27TikTok dance trend.

14:29Let's check with Larson Tiago.

14:32At the end of Pita,

14:33there's beef,

14:35onions,

14:37cucumbers,

14:39and other flavors.

14:41This is heaven

14:43for the shawarma lovers.

14:45But in Zambanga City,

14:47it was given a different twist

14:49because it has potatoes.

14:51It wasn't missed

14:53by the cast of Batang Riles

14:55like Miguel Tan Felix,

14:57Kokoy De Santos,

14:59Bruce Roland,

15:01Rahil Biria,

15:03and many more.

15:17After this,

15:19the Riles Boys

15:21went straight

15:23to the Kapuso Mall Show

15:25at the KCC Convention Center

15:27in KCC Mall, Zambanga.

15:29The fans were thrilled

15:30to see Anton on stage.

15:37Bruce and Kokoy

15:39took a selfie.

15:43Rahil also performed.

15:47And the excitement

15:49of Miguel's performance

15:51was even greater.

15:56The Riles Boys

15:58did a great job

16:00on their performance.

16:04It was also posted

16:06on social media.

16:08This is a trend

16:10that couples can do.

16:12This can be done

16:14by talented friends.

16:16For example,

16:18if you have a girlfriend,

16:20you can do this.

16:22So we took steps

16:24and you can watch

16:26our TikTok accounts.

16:28We have a tutorial there.

16:30The Riles Boys

16:32are also the lead cast

16:34and they fight almost every night

16:36for their actions

16:38because of the drug syndicate.

16:41Criminals need to pay

16:43for what happened

16:45to Mucha,

16:47Lala, and Lulo

16:49because it's not a joke

16:51that something happened

16:53to them.

16:55So we, the Riles Boys,

16:57as their friends,

16:58will find a way

17:00for them to pay for it.

17:02We made our weapons.

17:04We, the Riles Boys,

17:06need help sometimes

17:08because our enemies

17:10have guns.

17:12I'm thankful to Kulot

17:14because he made me a weapon

17:16even though he knows I'm gay.

17:18He should've just put rocks

17:20on my hair.

17:22LAR Santiago

17:24Updated

17:26on Shoebiz

17:28Takeaway

17:30Comilek

17:32is personally distributing

17:34voter's information sheet

17:36to all registered voters

17:38in the country.

17:40Comilek is encouraging

17:42those who will be affected

17:44if she was given one.

17:46Sandra Aguinaldo was a witness.

17:50At Barangay 70 in Pasay City

17:52Comilek Chairman

17:54George Erwin Garcia

17:56and three commissioners

17:58will be divided into Voter's Information Sheet or VIS.

18:01There are four pages of paper where you can see the name, address and address of the voter.

18:07There are also instructions on how to vote and a list of candidates.

18:11This is very important because not all of them have access to the internet

18:15or even if they are far from the barangay, they can still reach the Voter's Information Sheet.

18:2168 million registered voters across the country will be able to receive this.

18:26COMELEC should have made the division personal because it is cheaper and faster than doing it by mail.

18:33The voter also needs to sign or receive this as proof that the VIS has been delivered.

18:40Again, don't worry about why you need to sign because the reason for signing is because

18:47it is evidence that you have received the Voter's Information Sheet.

18:51Our people have an ID.

18:54This is a big thing for me because this is a guide for me to go to the precincts.

19:03This is a big guide.

19:05In the face of Garcia in the Management Association of the Philippines,

19:09the business community and employers who helped in voter's education were involved

19:15and allowed their employees to vote freely.

19:19We have to ensure that people will still and continue to trust our electoral process and system.

19:25And the only way to do that is voter's education.

19:28We should not let a single child, a Filipino child, to grow up and say,

19:33I will just buy a vote. I will just sell it.

19:37In the part of the event where voters can ask questions,

19:40former COMELEC Commissioner Gus Lagman stood up.

19:44His point is that the counting of votes should be done manually in the precincts

19:48so that each vote can be counted more clearly.

19:51Garcia's answer is that a law is needed for this.

19:55The counting at the precincts, which is the most crucial, is that witnessed by the voters.

20:02You feed the ballot and then at 7 o'clock in the evening, the machine counts the ballots.

20:10Since 2010, it should be done manually and then automated.

20:16And yet the Supreme Court did not put that in their decision because it's a question of law.

20:22After the election in Myanmar and Thailand,

20:25Garcia said that 320 registered voters in Myanmar will vote by post or by mail.

20:32Internet voting in Thailand will continue.

20:36For GMA Integrated News, Sandra Aguinaldo reporting for 24 Horas.

20:42The grass fire in Taal Volcano Island has already been resolved.

20:46According to FIVOX, it was declared a fire out by the Bureau of Fire Protection, Calabarzon at 9 o'clock in the morning.

20:54The grass fire was first reported at 11 o'clock in the morning yesterday.

20:58This affected the Binintang Munti Observation Station, which was also affected by the grass fire in March 2023 and May 2024.

21:09An aerial survey was conducted to determine the extent of the fire.

21:14It was also found that the volcano Taal is still at Alert Level 1.

21:21Up to Php 10 per passenger in LRT Line 1 has already been ranked.

21:27In response to the demand of the train to Bumatikos in Hakbang, they need this to improve their service.

21:35Joseph Moro was on the spot.

21:40Up to Php 10 per passenger in LRT Line 1 has already been started.

21:44LRT Line 1 is not a place for senior citizens, even if they have a long queue to get a discount.

21:50In the middle of Batikos and Dagdagsingil, the government reiterated that it allows this under the previous contract of the government and the Light Rail Manila Corporation or LRMC.

22:00The LRMC said that they are doing the grass fire in Taas Pasahe, but they need this to improve their service.

22:08There's nothing we can do but to follow it.

22:11But if you have a choice, I hope there's no increase.

22:14I hope so.

22:15Why?

22:16The cost is not increasing yet.

22:17It's okay, as long as there's no traffic.

22:19When the EDSA Rehabilitation or Overhaul started, these public transportation such as trains and the EDSA Bus Carousel

22:27that will not remove the possible vehicle of the public when there's traffic in EDSA.

22:34Next week, it will be announced when the project will start and the government will announce the possibility of removing the vehicle when the rehabilitation starts.

22:43Because there's still an exclusive lane for buses, only three lanes will remain in EDSA, from Pasay to Guadalupe and from Balintawak to Monumento.

22:53For GMA Integrated News, Joseph Morong.

22:56For 24 Hours.

23:03In spite of the hot weather, be prepared for the possibility of rain in some parts of the country.

23:08According to the forecast, two weather systems will be affected.

23:12First, the northeasterly wind flow that brings a weak rain in Cagayan Valley, Ilocos Region, and in some parts of Cordillera, Administrative Region.

23:21The easterlies will be affected in most parts of the country.

23:25Because of the hot weather, there's still a chance of localised thunderstorms.

23:32According to the Metro Weather, there's still a chance of heavy to intense rain in some parts of Isabela tomorrow morning.

23:38When it comes to the afternoon, there's a chance of light to moderate rain in some parts of Cagayan Valley, Cordillera, Administrative Region, Central Luzon, Davao Regions, and Soc Sargen.

23:48There's also a chance of rain in some parts of Metro Manila.

23:51Don't forget to bring an umbrella because aside from the possibility of rain, it's also a protection against the heat.

23:57Today, it was reported in Ibazambales that the highest heat index is also in the danger level.

24:03The heat is in Virac, Catanduanes, Iloilo City, and Cotabano City.

24:07It's also possible that the heat will be experienced tomorrow, so be careful.

24:13In the continuation of the oral argument in the Supreme Court,

24:17the Department of Finance is against the transfer of unused PhilHealth funds to the National Treasury.

24:27Salima Refran is on the case.

24:33In the continuation of the oral argument in the case of the transfer of excess PhilHealth funds to the National Treasury,

24:39Finance Secretary Ralph Recto denied that it was done to be used by the people.

24:46It's not allowed if there's a large amount of funds that is not being used.

24:51For the benefit of the people, we will let it be.

24:55Sleeping funds serve no one.

24:58Every peso is a disservice to every Filipino.

25:03PhilHealth transferred 60 billion pesos of unused funds to the National Treasury

25:08to fund government projects.

25:11Almost 30 billion pesos were planned to be transferred before the TRO.

25:15Aside from PhilHealth, according to Recto,

25:17the PDIC, or Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation,

25:21has also committed to transfer more than 104 billion pesos to the National Treasury.

25:26Recto said that if the Supreme Court returns the funds,

25:30it will have an effect on the country's credit rating.

25:33That will add a fiscal pressure to our deficit.

25:37And that would entail us not hitting our deficit targets this year.

25:41And if we miss that, then we may not attain our coveted credit rating upgrade

25:46that we foresee in the next 18 months.

25:49Associate Justice Benjamin Cagiwa mentioned Section 11 of the Universal Health Care Act

25:55which states that if the reserve of PhilHealth funds is exceeded by two years,

26:00the contribution of PhilHealth members will be reduced and their benefits will be increased.

26:06But if the government keeps taking the reserve funds,

26:10this won't happen because the ceiling won't be reached.

26:13But every time you take money away from the reserve fund,

26:17the reserve fund is not able to reach the ceiling.

26:22So the movement towards reaching the ceiling to trigger these benefits

26:27and the reduction of contributions will get retarded.

26:32But what I'm trying to say here is PhilHealth can do such a thing,

26:36increase the benefit packages even if the ceiling is not yet reached.

26:41Even if PhilHealth increases the case rate,

26:44the answer to this is

26:46In 2024, the increase of the case rate of PhilHealth is huge.

26:51We have 30% in February 2024 and another 50% by December 2024.

26:58The average value of case rate increases I think is around Php 13,000 to Php 14,000.

27:07Before this, various groups protested in Baguio to get back the funds of PhilHealth.

27:13Tomorrow, magistrates will continue to ask respondents and petitioners

27:19for oral arguments against the transfer of funds of PhilHealth.

27:24From Baguio City, for JMA Integrated News,

27:27this is Imana Fran for 24 Hours.

27:34There's a new person who will make it difficult for Lolong

27:37for the entry of Yasser Marta as Goryeo in Lolong Pangil ng Maynila.

27:42Aside from the first time Yasser challenged the heavy action routine,

27:46there's also a twist to his character.

27:49Let's talk to Lars Santiago.

27:51What did you do?

27:52Stop it!

27:53Huh?

27:54Stop it!

27:55I told you to stop it.

27:58Tough guy with a twist is the role played by Sparkle star Yasser Marta

28:03in the JMA Prime series of Lolong Pangil ng Maynila.

28:08He's the fierce Goryeo, one of Lolong's rivals.

28:13He's the pride of Maynila.

28:16He's the leader of the group here in Maynila.

28:19I can really fight Lolong.

28:25Watch out for him.

28:26Goryeo is not only a bad person,

28:30he also has a good heart.

28:34And now that Ruru Madrid can't do the taping

28:38because of the accident that happened to him,

28:41Yasser is challenging the heavy action scene.

28:45It's Yasser's first time to do a heavy action routine

28:49because he's used to drama.

28:52But he really wants to do his fight scenes well.

28:57I'm very thankful to our stunt coaches.

29:01I'm not an expert in action,

29:05but they really guided me.

29:07I saw their effort and they really want me to learn.

29:11Yasser is happy that he can continue with his projects.

29:17He just finished with May Ilonggo Girl,

29:20and now he's in Lolong.

29:23And because of this blessing,

29:25he's continuing to build a family house in Antipolo.

29:30We're almost there.

29:33We're almost there.

29:37The house is about 70%.

29:41This family house is a gift from Yasser to his parents.

29:47It's like a farm.

29:49It's like a countryside house.

29:51My father is also an architect.

29:54He's an architect in another country.

29:56He's the one who designed it.

29:58It's like a vast bungalow.

30:02It's like my mom and dad's retirement home.

30:06There are 2,000 mango trees

30:10that surround the house.

30:11It's really beautiful when you enter.

30:14LAR Santiago updated on the showbiz happening.

30:19The actor, Archi Alemania, was issued an arrest warrant.

30:23Rita Daniela filed a complaint against him.

30:27According to the warrant, which is due on March 18,

30:30Alemania can pay P36,000

30:34for the complaint, Acts of Lasciviousness,

30:36which was filed this October.

30:38Our team is working hard to get Alemania's payment,

30:41but they still don't have an answer for now.

30:44Daniela's camp is hoping for Alemania's arrest

30:48so that the protests can start.

30:51They just want Daniela to get justice.

30:55Malacanang clarified that the public should not be left to their own devices.

31:00Yesterday, AFP Chief General Romeo Browner Jr.

31:04informed the Northern Luzon Command

31:06to be prepared in case China invades Taiwan.

31:09According to Undersecretary Claire Castro,

31:12the country is better prepared in such situations.

31:16Palacio also assured that the government is ready to help the OFWs

31:21in Taiwan at any time.

31:23According to the Travel Advisory of the Chinese Embassy,

31:27which will conduct a serious risk assessment

31:30the Chinese in the Philippines are planning to come here.

31:33According to Palacio, the government is not targeting any nationalities.

31:38He said that everyone in the country is welcome,

31:40except those who are committing crimes.

31:45The Foreign Affairs Department still believes

31:47that they can find the four missing Filipinos

31:51following the landslide in Myanmar

31:53in the middle of the rescue team's efforts

31:56that the Philippines and its embassies sent

31:59to find them.

32:00This is J.P. Soriano.

32:06The rescuers have been chasing for hours.

32:08Now, five days of unaccounted for,

32:11the four Filipinos are not found

32:14in the Sky Villa Condominium in Mandalay, Myanmar.

32:18It was hit by a 7.7 magnitude earthquake this Friday.

32:23But that's not all.

32:24It's not the contingent which will decide where they will be working.

32:34It's the host government.

32:46Identifying marks on the bodies

32:49to help our team on the ground verify

32:53and assure our team in Mandalay

32:56that they are doing everything possible.

33:07These Filipinos,

33:09well, they have been very cooperative

33:11with our embassy team also.

33:13People are helping each other

33:15to help identify their friends.

33:20While the people of the embassy

33:22are chasing the hospitals

33:24that were brought by the rescuers

33:26in the rescue in Mandalay.

33:28The same goes for the places

33:30where the bodies were brought from the ruins.

33:33Sadly, right now,

33:35hope springs eternal,

33:36but what we are discovering are dead bodies.

33:39Some in such state of decomposition

33:41that they had to be burned right away.

33:43Now, we hope that the bodies of our four Filipinos

33:48or that they're still alive.

34:07But the good news there is,

34:08in the Pines Hotel,

34:10after two weeks,

34:11we saw something from the rubble.

34:12We're hoping and praying the same thing happens.

34:18As much as the Filipinos will help

34:20in the rescue and search operations,

34:22the trip back to the Philippines

34:24by the Filipinos in Myanmar

34:26that want to repatriate is also being discussed.

34:29Others are preparing to be transferred

34:31to the city of Yangon from Mandalay

34:34if their continuation is not saved.

34:37For GMA Integrated News,

34:40I am JP Soriano.

34:4224 Hours.

34:4924 Hours.

34:52Just 40 days before the election of 2025,

34:59agriculture, and livelihood

35:05And Raffi Tima was chosen.

35:10The removal of 12% of electricity

35:12was helped by Congressman Rodante Marcoleta in Manila.

35:15Philip Salvador was also there

35:17who was exposed to corruption,

35:19criminality, and illegal drugs.

35:21They were also accompanied by

35:23Mark Lui Gamboa.

35:26The Agricultural Program and Support

35:28to Farmers was pushed by Senator Amy Marcos.

35:31Industrial Hubs and Proper Funding

35:37In Cebu, Tito Soto

35:39and Senator Pia Caetano.

35:41In Oroquieta City, Misamis Occidental,

35:43Senator Francis Tolentino

35:45recognized the role of LGUs.

35:47Support to Mango Farmers was helped

35:49by Congresswoman Camille Villar in Pangasinan.

35:52The removal of Watts of electricity

35:54was one of the promises of Benher Abalos.

35:58Support to Talabang Growers

36:00was given by Dini Bamaquino.

36:04David D'Angelo went around Caloocan.

36:08At the Children with Special Needs Forum

36:10in Misamis Oriental,

36:11Atty. Angelo de Alban was there.

36:13Leo D. D. Guzman

36:15pushed the use of renewable energy

36:17in Leyte.

36:19Senator Bong Go

36:20encouraged the development of infrastructures.

36:24The National Disaster Response

36:26was led by Ping Lakson.

36:30Agricultural Tourism was the goal

36:32of Senator Lito Lapid in Cebu.

36:34We continue to follow the campaign

36:36of the running Senators

36:38in the election of 2025

36:40Reporting for GMA Integrated News,

36:42Raffy Tima for 24 Hours.

36:45The U.S. State Department approved

36:47the sale to the Philippines

36:49of the F-16 Fighter Aircraft

36:52which is expected to help

36:54to guard the territory of the country.

36:57In the middle,

36:58the presence of a Chinese vessel

37:00that has not yet been launched

37:03by the research

37:04in the area of Palawan,

37:07was directed by Chino Gaston.

37:11The Chinese research vessel Songhang

37:14is inside the archipelagic waters

37:16of Maykalasaguin Island

37:18on the eastern seaboard of Palawan.

37:20It is allowed under the doctrine

37:22of the Innocent Passage.

37:24But the case,

37:25it did not respond

37:26several times radioed this morning

37:29by the Philippine Coast Guard.

37:32Let me first reiterate,

37:34we inquired what their purpose is,

37:36but not directly challenging them

37:38because we know that they also have

37:40right for innocent passage.

37:44But we also advised them

37:46that they are not authorized

37:48or allowed to carry out

37:50marine scientific research

37:52within our own archipelagic waters.

37:54March 31,

37:55the first PCG detected

37:56the Songhang,

37:57an 83-meter Chinese fisheries research vessel

38:00that came from Shanghai.

38:02The security analyst,

38:04Ray Powell,

38:05first announced yesterday

38:07the passage of Songhang

38:08near Panay Island

38:10to further strengthen

38:12the protection of the ocean.

38:13Five 97-meter offshore patrol vessels

38:16were purchased by PCG from Japan

38:18while 40 fast patrol crafts

38:21will be supplied by France.

38:23America also approved

38:24the sale in the Philippines

38:26of 20 F-16 fighter aircraft

38:28worth US$5.58 billion.

38:32In one statement,

38:33the U.S. State Department said

38:35that it will help the Philippine Air Force

38:38to develop maritime domain awareness

38:41and to stop enemy air defenses.

38:45Also,

38:46the Armed Forces of the Philippines

38:48to protect important interests

38:50and territories.

38:52In a social media post

38:53by the Chinese state-run media

38:55Global Times,

38:56the Foreign Ministry of China

38:58asked about the sale

38:59of F-16 fighter jets in the Philippines.

39:02Is this the reason

39:04why the military confrontation

39:06is so tense

39:07and Asia is turning into a powder keg?

39:10When we asked,

39:11the Department of National Defense said

39:13that they have not yet received

39:15official communication

39:16from the U.S. State Department

39:18about the F-16 fighters.

39:21For GMA Integrated News,

39:23who wants to talk?

39:2424 hours.

39:27Some groups went to the Supreme Court

39:29to order the Congress

39:31to pass a law

39:32that prohibits political dynasties.

39:35According to some judges,

39:37the court cannot know

39:39about their work.

39:41Tina Panganibon-Perez reported.

39:46Some groups went to the Supreme Court

39:48to file a petition

39:50for certiorari and mandamus,

39:52an order from the Congress

39:53to pass a law

39:54against political dynasties.

39:56It is stated in the 1987 Constitution

39:59that political dynasties are prohibited

40:01according to the definition

40:03in the law.

40:04But those who filed a petition

40:06to the Supreme Court

40:08have been going for four decades

40:10but there is still no law.

40:12The government is full of law-abiding people

40:14whose only qualification

40:16instead of character and ability

40:18is family.

40:21According to the 8th Congress,

40:23different opinions

40:25against political dynasties

40:27were voted by the Senate and the House.

40:29In the 19th Congress,

40:31Senator Grace Poe

40:33and Robin Padilla

40:35voted separately in the Senate

40:37while the young party list representative

40:39Raul Manuel in the House.

40:41All of them were in favor of the committee.

40:44It is a long overdue task of the Congress

40:47to pass a law.

40:49Of course, due to the domination

40:51of political dynasties

40:53in our legislative branch,

40:56it does not help.

40:59Some lawmakers also believe

41:01that the Supreme Court

41:03cannot ignore the work of the Congress

41:05to pass a law.

41:07Senator Coco Pimentel

41:09and House Deputy Majority Leader

41:11Lawrence Defensor

41:13are among those who voted.

41:15It's not for the Supreme Court to compel.

41:18While the Constitution says

41:20that there is a prohibition

41:22against the dynamics

41:24there is a prohibition against the dynasty

41:27under a bill passed by Congress.

41:29It does not state a timeline

41:31when Congress will pass it.

41:33A political scientist also doubts

41:35the Congress' decision

41:37to pass a law

41:39against political dynasties.

41:418 out of 10 congressmen

41:43are members of political dynasties

41:45based on the study

41:47of the Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism.

41:50If we will just rely on Congress

41:52to pass this bill

41:54it's like asking Dracula

41:56to guard the blood bank.

42:02We know that the Congress

42:04is full of political self-interest.

42:07The leaders of the House and Senate

42:09have yet to agree on this.

42:11But Senate Minority Leader Pimentel

42:13says that he believes

42:15that the time will come

42:17when the anti-political dynasty bill

42:19will be passed

42:21especially since the eyes

42:23of voters are slowly opening.

42:25For GME Integrated News,

42:27Tina Panganiban Perez,

42:29Nakatuto, 24 Hours.

42:33It seems that the Big One

42:35of Metro Manila

42:37is the effect in Bangkok, Thailand

42:39of the earthquake

42:41that the center is in Myanmar.

42:43But the Big One

42:45is more worried

42:47because it will cause

42:49a fault that will pass

42:51directly to Manila

42:53and not from other places.

42:55Mark Salazar was there.

42:57Hey! Hey!

42:59Hey! Hey!

43:05It's not a joke

43:07that the buildings in Bangkok, Thailand

43:09will be destroyed.

43:17Even if it's not there,

43:19the epicenter of the 7.7 magnitude

43:21earthquake this Friday

43:23is in Myanmar.

43:25Just think about it,

43:27the epicenter is in a single city.

43:35That's what the Big One

43:37is afraid of in Metro Manila.

43:39Because the West Valley Fault

43:41is right here

43:43that can cause a 7 magnitude earthquake

43:45if it moves.

43:47And it can reach up to 50,000 people

43:49according to the study

43:51of Japan International Cooperation Agency,

43:53PHIVOX, and MMDA.

43:57If the Big One

43:59in Metro Manila

44:01that is magnitude 7.2

44:03happens,

44:05intensity 8,

44:07the earthquake will be this strong.

44:09There will be tremors,

44:11there will be fear. But as PHIVOX said,

44:13the earthquake won't kill

44:15a person with this magnitude

44:17of earthquake. If it's not the eruption

44:19that can hit you,

44:21or the fire that can happen

44:23because of this magnitude of earthquake.

44:25The casualties and

44:27casualties in the provinces

44:29near Metro Manila

44:31are not included

44:33in the residential buildings

44:35that are not properly constructed,

44:37no building permit.

44:39In the scenario, they will fall.

44:41That scenario

44:43is a night time scenario.

44:45Imagine if that earthquake will happen

44:47on a day time. We need to

44:49update the study

44:51in Metro Manila.

45:03I don't know.

45:05I just found out.

45:07What will happen now?

45:09Of course,

45:11I'm a bit nervous.

45:13It's still the same.

45:15I'm afraid of the Big One.

45:17Let's just pray as much as we can.

45:19Mona Ariate's house

45:21will go through a fault.

45:23But she won't easily relocate.

45:25It's not a problem

45:27because it's not

45:29totally free.

45:32For now, there are preparations being made

45:34such as retrofitting

45:36of old houses and infrastructure,

45:38private or public.

45:40We expect

45:42residential buildings

45:44around 12-13%

45:46would sustain heavy damage.

45:4810-30 story buildings

45:50around 11%

45:52heavy damage and then

45:5430-60 story buildings, 2%.

45:56Our government agencies

45:58are prepared.

46:00For example, earthquake drill,

46:02fire drill,

46:04local governmental units.

46:06We demand

46:08as much as possible

46:10that their building officers

46:12conduct inspections

46:14if possible.

46:16They should be strict

46:18in giving permits

46:20for the construction of buildings.

46:22But Metro Manila

46:24is not the only one to be prepared

46:26because there are many faults and trenches

46:28in the Philippines,

46:30except for Palawan.

46:32Every place here in the Philippines,

46:34except for this one,

46:36has a big one.

46:38For GMA Integrated News,

46:40Mark Salazar,

46:42for 24 Hours.

46:44An American author

46:46who is the lead counsel

46:48of former President

46:50Rodrigo Duterte

46:52because of his messages

46:54from the Philippines

46:56He is not the ICC lawyer

46:58who is the lead counsel of the former President.

47:00That's why he stopped

47:02sending him messages.

47:04He said that he is being threatened

47:06by his followers and commenters from the Philippines

47:08that they don't believe

47:10that he is not Duterte's lawyer.

47:12He is insane because

47:14the spelling of their last names

47:16is not the same.

47:18There is only one letter N

47:20in the last name of Attorney Kaufman

47:22while he has two.

47:26There was a confession

47:28in the last episode

47:30of Mga Makasalanan star

47:32David Lycauco

47:34in the GMA Integrated News interviews.

47:36The state of his heart

47:38and his honest feelings

47:40in the other half

47:42of Barda, Barbie Forteza.

47:44Let's talk to Nelson Canlas.

47:48David Lycauco is a proud son

47:50in the guesting of his mom,

47:52Eden,

47:54in the last episode

47:56of the GMA Integrated News

47:58interviews.

48:00He gave a hats off

48:02to his mom for being natural

48:04on TV.

48:06She was able to do that

48:08despite that

48:10it's not her line of work.

48:12She wants to meet Barbie.

48:14Of course.

48:16I think you are the one

48:18holding the key.

48:20Barbie is busy.

48:22If there's no plan,

48:24it will continue.

48:26Maybe.

48:28And speaking of Barbie,

48:30what we see

48:32on social media

48:34is this

48:36a fan service

48:38with feelings?

48:40Your closeness with Barbie.

48:42Well,

48:44we are really close.

48:46But then,

48:48we have to.

48:50You are the one I'm asking.

48:54I mean, you have to think that

48:56of course, Barbie just got off

48:58from a relationship and

49:00we should respect that.

49:04She needs to

49:06heal.

49:08She needs to.

49:10It doesn't have anything to do with healing.

49:12I'm asking you

49:14if there are feelings involved.

49:16I care for her a lot.

49:18I care for her a lot.

49:20Can we qualify that?

49:22I just really care about her a lot.

49:26You are so comfortable

49:28with each other.

49:30Like, you protect her

49:32and sometimes she protects you.

49:34So, are there other dynamics?

49:36I mean,

49:38did your dynamics evolve?

49:40Even before,

49:42transparently, she was taken.

49:44That's a big factor.

49:46That's a big factor.

49:48I mean, Barbie has always been caring.

49:50But then, of course,

49:52you get carried away.

49:54You need to be caring

49:56because when you work,

49:58you really need to.

50:00Especially in a love theme context.

50:02You have to be caring and

50:04Barbie is someone I really care about.

50:06So, it's,

50:08would you say,

50:10it's more relaxed

50:12to be with each other

50:14now that you're single?

50:16She's single.

50:18The question's right.

50:22Again,

50:24I mean,

50:26I feel like whoever

50:28is in my situation,

50:30when I'm taken,

50:32I won't do anything

50:34extra.

50:36Extra care.

50:38But now, obviously,

50:40when we're together,

50:42I care for her.

50:44And,

50:46now, of course,

50:48it's more relaxed, like you said.

50:50When I asked David's state of mind,

50:52Are you in love now?

50:54In love? Yeah, with life.

50:56I'm in love with life.

50:58No, you're in love with another human being.

51:02But you're tense.

51:04I'm really happy.

51:06We also talked about

51:08his best friend,

51:10Dustin Yu,

51:12as a housemate in the

51:14PBB Celebrity Collab Edition.

51:16He's proud of his best friend,

51:18especially when he shows his

51:20bravery and intelligence

51:22while he's inside his brother's house.

51:24Dustin, how are you?

51:26I miss you.

51:28Why are you there?

51:32But, I really miss you.

51:34I just want to let you know that I'm really, really proud of you.

51:36It's been a while since I got a text

51:38and I don't have a friend

51:40that I can call.

51:42I'm just kidding.

51:46But, is it a game for David to be a housemate?

51:48If Dustin is there,

51:50I'm sure he's there.

51:52For now,

51:54one of David's priorities

51:56is his upcoming film,

51:58Samahan ng Mga Makasalanan.

52:00Because it's a comedy film,

52:02he studied a lot

52:04to make the audience laugh.

52:06It's a big help

52:08that he's surrounded by comedians

52:10while he's shooting.

52:12You just have to react

52:14to your co-actors.

52:16It's just like basic acting, right?

52:18If you're funny, you're funny.

52:20So, my heart,

52:22I hope you watch Samahan ng Mga Makasalanan

52:24April 19.

52:26As you can see, I'm so nice here.

52:30Right?

52:32So, you can see that

52:34our God is above.

52:36And you'll learn a lot.

52:38The film is so good.

52:40You should watch it.
