Transcript

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

00:06 Good evening, Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.

00:12 It seems that the Philippine ships are patrolling the broken ships of China

00:19 to deliver supplies to the BRP Sierra Madre in Ayunin Shoal.

00:24 Isn't that the answer of our Coast Guard in the next radio challenge of China, according to our reliable source?

00:31 The report is being investigated that the Coast Guard's ships were flooded again

00:37 just like what China did in the former resupply mission.

00:41 And live, this is Joseph Noron.

00:44 Joseph.

00:49 Melvicky Emil, on the other hand, the Chinese attack continued and the supply to the BRP Sierra Madre in Ayunin Shoal was successful.

00:59 This was caught today, on May 1 and May 2, the resupply ships that delivered provisions to the BRP Sierra Madre.

01:11 The ship that was docked in Ayunin Shoal, which also serves as the outpost of the Philippines in Ayunin Shoal.

01:18 In the distance, you can see the BRP Sindangan, one of the two ships of the Philippine Coast Guard

01:23 that escorted in the rotation and resupply mission.

01:26 You can also see in the video the large ship of the China Coast Guard in the distance.

01:31 It was shown earlier in the Senate by Senator Francis Tolentino

01:34 while praying at the beginning of the session to thank the mother for the successful mission.

01:41 So thank you, Lord, for guiding and safely allowing our resupply ships, Unimay 1 and Unizomay 2,

01:58 to enter the Ayunin Shoal today at 9.07am safely to provide food and medicine for our brave soldiers

02:11 despite the threats coming from several foreign ships.

02:17 The National Task Force for the West Philippine Sea also issued a statement to repeat that the mission was successful.

02:24 That is, despite the Chinese Coast Guard and Chinese Maritime Militia's attacks

02:29 to prevent, threaten and interfere in the resupply mission.

02:33 National Security Advisor Eduardo Año also emphasized the bravery shown by the Armed Forces and the Coast Guard.

02:40 The resupply mission trip was not easy.

02:43 On Sunday afternoon, the GMA Integrated News exclusively obtained the two resupply boats.

02:49 They were also the water cannons of the Chinese Coast Guard in the first resupply mission on August 5.

02:55 On Monday morning, the resupply boats left for the important mission in the BRP Sierra Madre.

03:01 According to a reliable source, before reaching the Ayunin Shoal,

03:06 the Chinese Armed Forces were in the middle of the resupply mission.

03:11 The source did not mention its exact number.

03:14 This is also the story of the tweets of the maritime security expert Ray Powell at 6 a.m. earlier.

03:21 On this map, you can see the BRP Cabra and BRP Sindangan

03:25 that spread from the Sabina Shoal to escort the supply ships to the Ayunin Shoal.

03:31 But at the same time, the Chinese deployed their four militia ships to defend the Ayunin.

03:38 Those four were part of the 11 militia ships that China deployed in the Mischief Reef since yesterday.

03:45 In Powell's tweet at 9 a.m.,

03:48 the BRP Cabra and BRP Sindangan of the Philippines were already near the Ayunin.

03:53 While the three of the four militia ships of China were positioned there,

03:58 Powell tweeted that the resupply mission of the Philippines in the BRP Sierra Madre was already over.

04:04 According to the trustworthy source of GMA Integrated News,

04:08 compared to the incident of August 5 where the Chinese Coast Guard flooded the resupply ships,

04:14 in the operation earlier this morning,

04:16 the radio challenge between China and the Philippines was just replaced and the resupply mission was still continued.

04:22 But according to an official, there is a report that the Chinese Coast Guard still has a water cannon

04:26 and the target was the Coast Guard ship and not the supply boats.

04:31 This detail is still being waited for.

04:34 According to an official, China has already helped the Ayunin Shoal

04:38 in condemning the other country for the water cannon incident of August 5

04:43 and they will provide support to the Philippines.

04:46 Vicky, according to the National Task Force for the West Philippine Sea,

04:54 the rotation and resupply missions will continue just like what we did in the Ayunin Shoal.

05:00 Thank you very much, Joseph Morong.

05:02 China Coast Guard's reaction is that the Chinese government did not have permission

05:09 to carry out the resupply mission of the Philippines in the Ayunin Shoal.

05:14 That's why they issued warnings.

05:16 The Philippine ships were flooded and they were effectively regulated.

05:22 And since they did not bring any building materials,

05:25 they were only allowed to bring food to the flooded BRP Sierra Madre.

05:34 But they will learn if they were allowed to bring building materials

05:38 because China said that the area is a part of the BRP.

05:41 New guidelines for screening of Filipinos abroad will be implemented starting September.

05:50 Despite the possible search, some important documents, even the very implementation of those,

05:56 are being complained about in some viral videos.

05:59 Salima Refrat has the story.

06:01 The complaints of travelers who were not offloaded or not transported

06:07 have been viral several times.

06:09 The flight was missed because there were many questions about immigration before leaving the Philippines.

06:15 That's why in the government's campaign to fight human trafficking and illegal recruitment,

06:20 the new guidelines for departure screening of Filipinos who will travel abroad were formally laid.

06:26 But if you thought that it will be wide,

06:29 it seems that it is even more strict in the regulations, in the documents that need to be shown,

06:35 especially if the expenses for travel are sponsored or answered by others.

06:40 Those who are traveling for tourism purposes only,

06:45 without a sponsor, they are just regular tourists,

06:49 there is no need to worry because we are just looking at the regular documents.

06:54 Aside from the basic travel documents,

06:56 other proofs or documents of the relationship and the capacity of the sponsor can be used to support the travel.

07:03 If you are a first-degree citizen, like a child, sibling, and parents,

07:08 you need to show the original PSA-issued birth certificate or marriage certificate,

07:13 copy of work visa or work permit or residence permit of the sponsor,

07:18 and OFW documents if the sponsor is OFW.

07:21 If the person is far away from the immediate family,

07:24 like a cousin, cousin, cousin, cousin, and others,

07:28 aside from the proofs of the relationship,

07:31 like the original PSA certificates,

07:33 the authorized original affidavit of support and guarantee is required

07:38 that the embassy of the Philippines, consulate, or honorary consulate, depends on the country.

07:44 The legal written document from the sponsor is also required

07:48 that the travel is only for tourism purposes and the sponsorship will return to the Philippines.

07:54 It is also included in the written document that the following dispute

07:58 may affect the passengers' travel in the future and the sponsor's capacity to invite.

08:05 But what about the invitations of the "Kasintahang Banyaga"?

08:11 There is an additional requirement for that.

08:14 They may show proof of their relationship.

08:17 That could be photos, that could be any document.

08:21 They also look at who the sponsor is.

08:24 Not only their relationship, but who the sponsor is,

08:28 to know if this is a legal person and if he/she has sponsored other people before.

08:35 The address, contact information of that sponsor for the Philippine government

08:41 to be able to locate should issues arise.

08:51 The requirements for the travel of OFWs, minors, students abroad, volunteer workers,

09:00 those who will go to Hajj, and others are also included.

09:02 But with the many requirements, is this too strict and violates the right to travel?

09:10 The reason for instituting revised guidelines is a matter of national security.

09:15 So we pass these guidelines in the hope that we protect our fellow citizens

09:22 from the perils of human trafficking.

09:24 This, as I said, is not a curtailment of the right to travel,

09:28 but really it's an enforcement of policy.

09:32 In the primary screening, the immigration officer may clear or defer the passenger immediately.

09:39 But he/she must explain the reason for this.

09:42 The immigration officer has 15 minutes to do the secondary screening.

09:47 But this won't take long.

09:50 The queue for immigration is very long.

09:53 It will only take a matter of 45 seconds to scan and to validate all the documents.

09:59 The process will still be limited to 45 seconds.

10:02 But at least our fellow citizens know what they will bring.

10:06 The opinions of the passengers we talked to are all the same.

10:10 I don't know.

10:12 They should just continue so that they won't be in danger.

10:15 The revised guidelines are effective on the first week of September.

10:19 The complete guidelines and requirements can be read in the official gazette of the government.

10:25 For GMA Integrated News, Sanny Marafran, Tutok 24 Horas.

10:30 A few transport groups are now appealing for a five-pison additional fare

10:36 for the newly-released oil price hike.

10:38 The drivers are no longer earning, especially those who have high blood and high prices for the oil product.

10:43 It is possible for the hike to continue until December.

10:46 This is Sanny Peras, Tito Tukan, Marisol Abdurraman and Ivan Mayrina.

10:50 The next seven weeks will be the diesel and kerosene price hike,

10:57 while the next six weeks will be the price of gasoline.

11:00 But this calvary doesn't seem to end.

11:03 The projection of the SP Global Platz is going straight to July until December.

11:11 Our chance of this changing is only in the decrease of demand.

11:18 But in the whole world, the demand for oil is increasing every month

11:22 because it needs heating while it is cold in many countries.

11:25 At the same time, the reduction of the daily production of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and Russia is up to 2 million barrels.

11:33 If possible, the price of diesel and kerosene will increase to 13 pesos from July 18.

11:39 The price of gasoline will increase to 8 to 10 pesos from July 18.

11:44 The Energy Department cannot say how much it will reach if the demand does not decrease and the supply does not increase.

11:51 We cannot say that we can expect the demand to roll back by the month of August.

11:56 The supply is really in danger this month of August and probably September.

12:01 According to the DBM, the President is hastening the process for the 3 billion pesos fuel subsidy fund,

12:07 which was approved because it is not yet issued in the Joint Memorandum Circular of the Department of Transportation.

12:12 We hope that we can issue it immediately if there is a requirement for the GAA.

12:18 [Police officer shouting]

12:21 Because there seems to be no train that is increasing the price of gasoline,

12:24 the group Pistona called to remove the excise tax.

12:28 The Mazda, AltoDap and Acto have already formally filed a petition for the increase of the fare.

12:34 The increase of 5 pesos for the first 4 kilometers and 1 peso for every extra kilometer.

12:39 While there is no increase, they hope that the increase of 1 peso will be given first.

12:44 So that our drivers can be saved from the problems,

12:48 so that we can afford to pay for the 2 pesos increase.

12:52 If the diesel price continues until December, it is possible that it will reach 80 pesos per liter based on the information they received.

13:00 And now, 400 pesos is already being lost in every vehicle in the price hike.

13:06 If we reach that, our drivers and drivers will be very poor.

13:10 The LTFRB also issued a 2-peso fare increase petition by Stop and Go Coalition, LTAP, Piston and FedyoDap.

13:18 But they need to pass a formal petition within 5 days.

13:22 It is said to be high according to the Lawyers for Commuter Safety and Protection.

13:26 It's not the passengers' fault why the price of crude oil increased.

13:30 But the first option is always to increase the fare.

13:35 Where will we get it from?

13:37 Can we get it from the farmers?

13:40 Can we get it from the fishermen?

13:44 Of course, from the farmers.

13:46 We have no choice but to get it from them.

13:48 The transport group of another commuter group also agreed,

13:51 but they hope that the increase in fare will be only 1 peso.

13:54 And if possible, it will be for the modern jeeps only.

13:57 Because if they cannot get out, we will have a harder time.

14:02 We understand that.

14:04 The LTFRB also said that the agency did not give the driver and operator's call.

14:10 However, they will be under the additional inspection of the group that has a high fare.

14:16 For GMA Integrated News, Marisol Abduraman.

14:21 And I am Ivan Meirena.

14:23 We are tuned 24 hours.

14:28 A truck ran over four vehicles, including a showtime host, Vice Ganda.

14:35 He was saved but he was worried that he might fall down to check on some passengers.

14:39 The truck driver also asked for help in the noon time show.

14:43 And Nelson Canlas was able to help.

14:45 This truck also collided with a car on the Panolocan of Catipunan Avenue and CP Garcia in Quezon City

14:57 when some motorists were able to get it last night.

15:01 Several vehicles were also involved.

15:04 Good thing you didn't drive.

15:07 I didn't drive. It was Vice.

15:08 Oh, Vice.

15:09 As for its showtime host, Vice Ganda,

15:14 Vice will also see how the passengers of the truck were saved by the truck.

15:20 In the story of the witness, Jeffir Bequilio,

15:25 the truck drivers were allowed to use their U-turns.

15:29 It is possible that the driver fell asleep and went straight to the concrete barrier,

15:35 that's why he hit the cars.

15:37 Later, the UCPD arrived and investigated the incident.

15:44 An ambulance also arrived to give first aid.

15:48 There were no serious injuries in the accident.

15:53 On its showtime this Monday, Vice told the incident.

15:57 Here, Vice expressed his concern for the truck driver who was hit by the truck.

16:03 We were hit by four cars.

16:05 The driver was hit hard.

16:06 The driver was sleeping.

16:08 He was completely broken.

16:09 I hope you will help the driver because we have news.

16:12 The owner of the truck, I hope you will help the driver because I feel sorry for the driver because there were many cars.

16:19 In an interview, the delivery platform LALAMOVE said that they are now in contact with the truck operator who was involved in the accident.

16:29 They are also helping in the investigation of the authority.

16:33 They also thanked Vice Canda for his concern for the accidents, including the truck driver.

16:41 For GMA Integrated News, Nelson Canlas, Tutok 24 Hours.

16:47 [Music]

16:53 Even transactions in e-wallet, Comelec wants to blame them for avoiding vote buying.

16:58 They also want to blame the checkpoints that will bring money more than half a million.

17:03 Jun Vederation was on the spot.

17:05 In the past, gunmen and other smugglers were often found in Comelec checkpoints when the election was near.

17:15 In the barangay and SK elections in October, even the money that was brought can be seen in the checkpoints.

17:21 I plan to blame them for more than half a million.

17:24 Where did you see that you brought half a million one day before the election,

17:28 after you are not a treasurer, you are not a businessman, you are a voter.

17:32 Comelec also implemented this money ban in 2015, but it was only centered on withdrawal from the bank.

17:39 Not on the money that was being squandered, like Comelec wants to ban if it's too much.

17:45 Comelec clarified that it's not in the clout of the ban if a part of your work is to bring money.

17:50 Like this collector of payment kiosks in the mall, who brought a million pesos to destroy the bag this July.

17:58 If that's the case, he should have a certificate of employment and company ID.

18:03 Comelec admitted.

18:05 The Supreme Court has no decision that prohibits the money ban.

18:09 The Commission of Elections will try again as a way to stop the purchase of votes.

18:15 But an election lawyer pointed out that this is against the human rights and his own.

18:20 Because even those who have nothing to do with politics are affected.

18:24 Comelec should find other ways to solve the problem of vote buying.

18:29 An election watchdog said that the balance of the purchase of votes and private property rights should be balanced among people.

18:37 The guidelines for the implementation of a money ban should be strictly followed by the law against money laundering.

18:44 Comelec reminded the PNP and other law enforcement agencies that it's allowed to implement a money ban checkpoint.

18:50 Only a visual search can be done, just like what is done in a normal checkpoint.

18:55 The vehicle or even the bags inside the vehicle and glove compartment should not be allowed to be opened.

19:01 Only what you can see is what you can see.

19:04 The body-worn camera will be wearing the objects in the checkpoint.

19:08 Plain view doctrine, just by looking inside the vehicle.

19:14 Even the e-wallet platforms, Comelec wants to force people to pass the list of transactions because it might be used in vote buying.

19:22 It will be used in the Central Bank of the Philippines and Anti-Money Laundering Council.

19:28 For example, you send 20 people, it's your first time to send, and then you send 2,000 without any payment.

19:34 You will be presumed to be engaged in vote buying.

19:38 For now, the law allows warrantless and citizen's arrest if the vote buying is caught in an act of imprisonment up to 6 years.

19:48 Social media posts and posters of candidates are prohibited if they have filed a Certificate of Candidacy.

19:55 Even if it's a dance, a TikTok, that's a campaign.

20:00 For GMA Integrated News, June Venera show is on 24 hours.

20:15 Good evening, Kapuso.

20:18 Different weather systems are monitoring the weather forecast.

20:21 Aside from the heavy rain that is falling in a large part of the country,

20:25 the low pressure area is also affected.

20:28 Not only that, there is also a storm outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility.

20:33 The last tropical depression passed in the far 3,220 kilometers east of the Central Zone.

20:41 It's still far away and it has no effect on our country.

20:45 According to the forecast, it will be observed if it will approach our boundary in the next few days.

20:53 Another bad weather that is being monitored is inside the Par.

20:57 In the far 665 kilometers east of the Aparica Gayan, the so-called low pressure area passed.

21:04 According to the forecast, for now, the chance of it being a storm is low,

21:09 but the LPA trough or extension is reaching and will affect some parts of the Luzon.

21:16 The heavy rain is also continuing in a large part of the country.

21:20 Based on the weather forecast, a large part of Luzon will be raining tomorrow, especially in the afternoon.

21:26 There is heavy rain in the northern and central Luzon and in the Mimaropa region.

21:31 In Metro Manila, the chance of rain is still high, especially in the afternoon and night.

21:37 The rain in Visayas is also wide.

21:39 Be alert because the rain is strong and it is possible to experience it in the Negros, Bohol, Samar and Leyte regions.

21:47 To our fellow Mindanao residents who have experienced rain for a few days,

21:51 continue to prepare for a flood or landslide because the rainy season will continue.

21:57 Tomorrow morning, there will be rain in Zamboanga Peninsula, Northern Mindanao and in Sok Sarjin.

22:03 By the afternoon, there will be more places where it will rain and there will be heavy rain.

22:09 There will be heavy to intense rains, so be careful, fellow residents.

22:13 And that is the latest in the "Lagay ng Panahon".

22:15 I am Maureen Shrivers for GMA Integrated News Weather Center.

22:18 We are the ones you can count on, whatever the weather.

22:21 In the very Belibid, the Senate was discussing how the inmate, Michael Catangua, escaped.

22:30 Some CCTVs were also filmed there, so the escape was very suspicious.

22:35 John Consulta was there.

22:37 The Senate did not particularly consider Michael Catangua's escape in the Belibid.

22:45 His escape and his arrest were included in the track to get out of the maximum security compound.

22:50 Don't suspect me because I am your friend.

22:53 We will go home, brother. Remember that.

22:56 Don't suspect me.

22:59 According to Cataroja, he studied for a week how to escape.

23:03 As a former garbage collector, Cataroja said that the body of the garbage truck is suspicious.

23:08 He said that he helped in carrying the garbage and finding time to pass a vehicle.

23:14 He used this cover to get under the truck within 12 seconds.

23:20 How many minutes before you got out?

23:22 I was already outside.

23:24 You were already on the highway, on the expressway.

23:26 I was already outside the maximum security compound.

23:29 You were already outside the maximum security compound, you got out and moved there.

23:31 Yes.

23:32 You were seen in the mirror.

23:34 As for the question of how the guards at the gate of the Bucor did not detect the hiding under the truck of Cataroja,

23:42 that's how the orange shirt was seen in the reenactment that was done earlier.

23:46 There was also a CCTV that was placed in the track that should have been seen in the escape.

23:52 I think it was a micro-nive.

23:54 Michael said it was a micro-nive.

23:56 There are still many questions to be answered.

23:58 You know, you can't see the bottom of the CCTV, it's up to the top.

24:03 But it's still going down.

24:04 Yes, it's still going down.

24:06 We're just recalling the video.

24:11 Cataroja's safety was guaranteed inside the Bilibi while the process of punishing those who should be punished was in progress.

24:19 Negligence. All the guards that Cataroja passed by and he did not notice, will be punished.

24:26 The garbage disposal will also be limited to the inmates and the entrance and exit of the truck in Bilibi will be inspected more thoroughly.

24:34 The guards should have been seen going down.

24:38 We were left alone there. No one was seen going down.

24:43 But aside from them, the ones who were involved in the Cataroja's crime should also be punished.

24:48 Sometimes, you can't do that, sir.

24:50 Yes, sir.

24:51 You can't do that. You have to hide it.

24:53 So that it won't be seen.

24:55 Where did you hide it?

24:57 Meanwhile, more than 100 guns, 5 bullets, 10 punches and 28 cellphones were found in the surprise inspection of the bureau yesterday.

25:07 All of that was found in the basement of Sputnik.

25:10 The inspection is part of the crackdown on the smugglers in Bilibi.

25:14 For JMA Integrated News, John Consulta, 24 hours.

25:20 The field of former President Rodrigo Duterte was denied that he promised China to remove the BRP Sierra Madre from its inshore.

25:30 In the statement of former Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea, the former President did not make any promises related to the issue.

25:38 The BRP Sierra Madre is a symbol of the country in the inshore and Duterte did not intend to remove it.

25:46 Before this, Act Teacher's Party list requested that Duterte be silent on the issue.

25:52 "Making trouble and making friends."

25:58 That's what the Chinese Ambassador to the Philippines said following the trilateral summit of America, Japan and South Korea.

26:05 Here, the three of them discussed the bombing of the water of the China Coast Guard in Philippine sea vehicles.

26:13 And JP Soriano was there.

26:15 The Chinese Ambassador to the Philippines, Wang Xilian, is the guest speaker in the 9th Manila Forum held by a university in Quezon City this afternoon.

26:26 Here, Media Siwa asked, did China change its order to their Coast Guard to continue the resupply mission of the BRP Sierra Madre in the inshore?

26:38 "There has never been a problem with the delivery of humanitarian supplies because there is a special arrangement for such."

26:55 "And the problem was with the transportation of large scale of building materials. I think that's so far what I can share with you."

27:12 In the statement of the National Task Force on the West Philippine Sea, the China Coast Guard tried to stop the resupply mission but it was postponed.

27:23 Here, Media Siwa asked, what is the reason?

27:52 Wang explained that America and other countries that we are allies and are making trouble.

27:59 This is after the trilateral summit of America, Japan and South Korea this weekend,

28:05 where the three countries discussed the bombing of the water of the China Coast Guard in Philippine sea vehicles.

28:14 The United States and some other forces pushed nothing but kills in the South China Sea and keep stirring up trouble in this sea area.

28:29 China also said that it is ready to help the Philippines and ASEAN to speed up the completion of the Code of Conduct that has been in place for more than 20 years.

28:42 Wang also said,

29:07 The U.S., Japan and South Korean embassies in the Philippines have yet to respond to this statement by the Chinese ambassador.

29:14 But U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian Pacific Affairs, Daniel Kritenbrink,

29:20 said that the trilateral summit is not an attack on China.

29:26 I think they're taking steps, they believe, to protect themselves, to ensure that the progress that they've made is protected and secured,

29:37 and to work more closely together in a world increasingly uncertain.

29:43 The BFA has yet to make a statement in response to Wang's statement.

29:47 But China welcomed the former Foreign Affairs Secretary and Ambassador to UK, Tridoro Luxin, as a special envoy to China.

29:56 In a tweet, Luxin said that the Philippines has no interest in fighting China.

30:04 For GMA Integrated News, JP Soriano, 24 Hours.

30:10 The issue of mistreatment in a house in Occidental Mindoro reached the Senate.

30:16 The barangay's captain was also fired,

30:18 when he first approached the man who accidentally hit him with a fat man.

30:22 That's what Dano Tingcungo is targeting.

30:24 In front of the Senate, a housemate told that LV Vergara is the mistreatment in the hands of her former bosses in Occidental Mindoro.

30:35 Because of repeated insults to her, LV, 44 years old, was shocked and shocked.

30:42 "This ear of mine, he kept hitting me. If I make a little mistake, he continues to hurt me.

30:51 He's beating me, he's hitting me. Then he's hitting me in the freezer, in the bathroom, and in the walls, everywhere."

31:02 "Who was the first to hit you, a man or a woman?"

31:05 "A woman."

31:07 "When did you get hit?"

31:09 "This left ear, and this ear at the same time.

31:13 In February, 2020."

31:17 "2020, the right?"

31:19 "That was in 2021."

31:23 "Were you hanged at the butcher shop?"

31:25 "Yes, they were cutting pigs."

31:28 "Yes, they were hanging me there."

31:30 "Did you not complain to your family, to the police?"

31:35 "I was hit with a phone, how can I call?"

31:39 In 2021, LV escaped from her bosses and went to the office of Barangay 7 in Mamburao, Occidental Mindoro

31:47 to ask for help and to check her belongings so that her former bosses would not accuse her of theft.

31:53 But she was followed to the barangay hall by her former boss.

31:56 Senators asked why the barangay chairman, Jimmy Patal, allowed LV to return to her bosses.

32:03 "I thought she was a courtesan.

32:07 So my order to the barangay was to clean LV's body.

32:11 I haven't told her yet, but her boss came."

32:17 "If you think you're right, you're fair, the first thing you should have done is to check with the doctor,

32:23 call the CHR, call the PNP, say that there's something here,

32:28 it looks like a broken house. What you did is you surrendered her to your boss. She's a poor person."

32:36 Patal mentioned the possibility of her witnessing against the Ruiz family after they witnessed other cases of abuse.

32:44 Former LV's bosses, Jerry and Franz Ruiz, should also be confronted by the Senate.

32:50 But the Ruiz family sent a text message that they cannot come because they have a medical condition.

32:57 "Do they have a medical certificate? Do they present a medical certificate?"

33:02 "No, no, your honor. They just sent an excuse letter."

33:05 "Excuse letter?" "Yes, sir."

33:07 "What is this? A school? So this is just a piece of paper?"

33:11 "And this will be a start."

33:14 The committee is preparing the subpoena to face the next hearing next week of the entire Ruiz family.

33:21 The Commission on Human Rights will also conduct an investigation.

33:24 Tomorrow, the Batangas City Prosecutor's Office will hear the complaints of LV against the former bosses.

33:31 We are also trying to get the Ruiz family's subpoena.
