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

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

00:20 It's sad to see the end of the search for one of the three missing Filipinos in Israel.

00:28 The Foreign Affairs Department has confirmed that he is also in Wiron,

00:31 in the ongoing war between Israel and the Hamas group.

00:34 He is the fourth Filipino in Wiron.

00:37 Almost 5,000 were killed in just 13 days.

00:42 Jonathan Andal was on the scene.

00:45 In almost two weeks of Israel and the Hamas group's fight,

00:56 the Philippines has been in the midst of a war.

00:58 After Paul Vincent Castelvi, Angeline Aguirre, and Loretta Alacre,

01:03 the Foreign Affairs Department has sad news.

01:06 Another Filipino has been confirmed dead in the chaos there.

01:10 According to the DFA, confirmed by the Israeli government,

01:13 he is a female caregiver based in Kibbutz Beri,

01:17 one of the first attacked by the Hamas group.

01:20 This Filipino is among the three Filipinos searched until yesterday.

01:25 But the DFA did not name him first.

01:27 It's just one reason why they won't give him.

01:30 They haven't yet said goodbye to his parents.

01:33 As an OWA member, his family will receive aid from the OWA and the Israeli government.

01:38 The DFA said that the process of sending home four of our fellow caregivers is already in progress.

01:46 We honor our fellow Filipinos because one reason why some of them died

01:54 is because they did not abandon their wars.

01:56 This is something which the Israelis have praised our fellow Filipinos for.

02:01 In the last news, almost 5,000 people have been killed in the war between Israel and Hamas.

02:06 For GMA Integrated News, Jonathan Andal, Katutok, 24 Hours.

02:11 The wait for the opening of the border between Gaza and Egypt is still tense,

02:18 where more than 100 Filipinos will be welcomed by our embassy.

02:23 They say that Rafty Tima is live.

02:26 Rafty, Tima.

02:28 Vicky, it's past 1 o'clock in the afternoon here in Cairo.

02:33 The sun is shining brightly here in the Pyramid Complex,

02:36 where the tourists are not far away.

02:38 The chaos is happening hundreds of kilometers away from here.

02:42 The Filipinos who are caught in the chaos are alive, helping and celebrating.

02:48 This is the message of the Filipinos who are waiting for the opening of the Rafa Crossing

02:53 to be able to leave Gaza, which is still being bombed by Israel.

02:56 They are a 12-day-old baby born from the beginning of the chaos in the area.

03:03 This is a protest by the Egyptians here in Cairo

03:11 to condemn Israel's ongoing offensive in Gaza.

03:16 The children are protesting with their pictures being tied to their shoulders.

03:19 Along with the call for the Rafa Border Crossing to be opened

03:22 to allow humanitarian aid to enter.

03:25 On the Egyptian side of the Rafa Border Crossing,

03:29 there are people praying for the dead in a bombing of a hospital in Gaza

03:34 where hundreds of people were killed.

03:36 Until now, humanitarian aid has not yet entered Gaza from Egypt

03:42 because Israel's offensive has not yet stopped.

03:45 That is why on the Palestinian side of the Rafa Border,

03:47 thousands are waiting to cross hoping to open an important waterway.

03:52 In this drone video, you can see the size of the enemy's offensive in Gaza.

03:57 The houses are already being destroyed.

04:00 Among those being tied to Gaza are 135 Filipinos.

04:04 According to the Philippine Embassy in Jordan, which has jurisdiction over the Filipinos in Gaza,

04:09 almost all of them are in the Rafa Governorate in southern Gaza near the Rafa Crossing

04:14 and are ready to escape if the borders of Gaza and Egypt are opened.

04:18 So far they have told us that they are alright,

04:20 that they are, I wouldn't say safe because they also hear some explosions

04:26 but not in their immediate neighborhoods.

04:28 So they are alive.

04:30 The good thing to know is that several of our countrymen are helping one another.

04:35 In fact, a community leader in southern Gaza

04:39 helped the Filipinos who were relocated and offered two apartments

04:45 to house our countrymen.

04:48 And this is proof that the Bayanian spirit among our Filipinos in Gaza is very much alive.

04:56 The supply of electricity and water is just a few steps away

04:59 and the stores are just one by one where you can buy food.

05:02 After the announcement that the Rafa Crossing will open for humanitarian supplies,

05:06 the authorities have already announced that they are ready for the possibility

05:10 that foreign nationals being tied to Gaza will be allowed to leave.

05:14 We were told by our embassy in Israel

05:17 to be ready at any time soon for the signal for nationals

05:22 to move out and proceed to the border

05:27 because the border might reopen any time.

05:29 We just don't know when.

05:31 I don't want to preempt it, but that means it could be possible

05:36 by the end of today, Israel time, or tomorrow,

05:41 we will have an opening because the Israelis have always said

05:45 be ready at any time because it could be at any day.

05:49 It will not be a permanent opening.

05:51 It will be for a window, maybe 12 hours, 24 hours.

05:55 Aside from the Filipinos, thousands of foreign nationals are also waiting

05:59 for the opening of the Rafa Crossing so they can cross to Egypt.

06:02 Although last night, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi said

06:06 that they will allow the request of the US to open the border

06:10 to Gaza, but Egypt said it will only open if Israel implements a ceasefire.

06:15 They are worried because not only foreign nationals,

06:19 but also Palestinians want to escape the bombing

06:22 and possible entry of Israeli forces to Gaza.

06:25 But entering the border of Egypt is a new threat to security in northern Sinai.

06:31 So, Egyptian forces might agree to allow the exit of the Gaza

06:37 border and they will be brought out of northern Sinai via the Suez Canal.

06:41 Of the 135 Filipinos in Gaza, 51 of them are minors,

06:50 Filipino-Palestinians, of which 123 are resident Filipinos,

06:55 married to Palestinians.

06:58 But there are also three Filipinos who are considered tourists

07:01 because they are only visiting Gaza when the chaos started.

07:05 They are also volunteer doctors for an international organization and an OFW.

07:09 All of them are on the list to enter the Gaza-Egypt border in case it is opened.

07:14 Vicky?

07:16 Rafi, of all the 135 Filipinos in Gaza,

07:20 are there any who plan to escape?

07:22 Some of them are married to Palestinians, right?

07:25 Yes, Vicky, almost all Filipinos in Gaza are married to Palestinians,

07:34 and some of them are minors.

07:35 Of the 80 Filipinos who are allowed to leave,

07:37 even if others did not make their list,

07:39 they are included in the list in case they change their mind

07:42 when it is time to open the Rafah Crossing, Vicky.

07:45 Rafi, why are our fellow Filipinos and other foreign nationals

07:49 waiting at the Egypt-Gaza border or Rafah Crossing

07:52 who want to leave Israel?

07:54 Is this the only exit they can take?

08:01 Yes, Vicky, that is the only possible exit.

08:04 They can exit at the Israel border,

08:06 but of course, Israel will not allow them to enter the Gaza-Egypt border.

08:11 But they can also exit at the sea,

08:14 but Israel will control that,

08:16 so the only safe way for them to pass

08:19 the Gaza-Egypt border is through the Rafah Crossing.

08:22 Even though it has been closed for a long time,

08:26 because of the chaos in Gaza,

08:29 this is the safest way for those from Gaza to enter Egypt, Vicky.

08:34 So Rafi, when they opened the border,

08:37 and they said that this can happen anytime,

08:39 do we have an idea on how to pass the process?

08:42 Will the authorities of other countries help

08:45 in speeding up this process?

08:48 This process is already underway, Vicky.

08:54 And let us remember that the Philippine Embassy here in Cairo

08:58 has experience of the chaos in Sudan,

09:00 where more than 800 Filipinos were prosecuted

09:03 and sent to Egypt from Sudan.

09:05 So they will do the same here in the Philippines,

09:08 coming from Gaza.

09:10 Their papers and names are already ready,

09:13 both the authorities in Egypt

09:16 and the authorities in Israel,

09:19 in case they are looking for their names.

09:21 So even those who did not file a list,

09:23 they were already listed,

09:26 and if the border crossing is opened,

09:28 it is possible that the Egyptian forces

09:31 will go to the border

09:34 and bring them to a safe place

09:36 after crossing the Sinai Peninsula,

09:38 after crossing the Suez Canal,

09:40 because this is the safest place here in Egypt,

09:42 and this is where our consulate and embassy staff will wait

09:45 where they will be transported.

09:47 In 33 buses, Vicky,

09:49 this was rented by the Cairo Embassy,

09:52 and from here, they will bring the consulate

09:55 to Cairo, Egypt,

09:57 and house them in hotels

09:59 while they are waiting for their papers

10:01 to be sent back to the Philippines.

10:03 Okay Rafi, we will be following your updates from there.

10:07 Thank you very much, and take care.

10:10 The Maharlika Investment Fund continues.

10:15 Even though the law on this is being suspended,

10:17 the IRR will still enforce the law on this.

10:20 According to the President himself,

10:23 and this is what Maki Polido and Marie Zumal are aiming at.

10:26 It seems that nothing has changed

10:32 in one of the President's words

10:34 when he went to Saudi Arabia.

10:36 Even though he suspended the implementation

10:52 of the IRR,

10:53 or the Maharlika Investment Fund,

10:55 or MIF Act of 2023,

10:57 on the same day of October 12, 2023.

11:01 I was a bit alarmed by the news reports

11:03 early this morning that I read in the newspapers

11:06 that we have put the Maharlika Fund on hold.

11:11 Quite the contrary.

11:13 The organization of the Maharlika Fund

11:15 proceeds apace,

11:17 and what I have done though

11:19 is that we have found more improvements

11:22 that we can make,

11:24 specifically to the organizational structure

11:26 of the Maharlika Fund.

11:29 It is not yet determined

11:30 how the organizational structure

11:32 of the Maharlika Investment Corporations,

11:34 or MIC, will be improved.

11:36 But according to the source of GMA News,

11:38 it is possible that the way of choosing

11:40 the board of directors will be different.

11:42 At the end of September,

11:44 the President was given the short list

11:46 of the board of directors of the MIC.

11:48 The President insisted that

11:50 the concept of MIF

11:52 as a sovereign fund remains good.

11:54 We are still committed to having it operational

11:58 before the end of the year.

11:59 So we should not misinterpret

12:01 what we have done

12:03 as somehow a judgment

12:05 on the rightness or wrongness

12:07 of the Maharlika Fund.

12:09 The President has already consulted

12:11 with the economic managers

12:13 and the people who will be a part

12:15 of the Maharlika Investment Fund.

12:17 So all of this will be put to the test

12:19 for the implementation to be better.

12:21 The budget secretary said

12:23 that the economic team is already helping the President

12:25 and the review of the IRR of the MIF Act

12:27 is already underway.

12:28 Even though the President did not comment,

12:30 the chairman of Ways and Means

12:32 in the chamber who pushed the MIF

12:34 argued why the implementation of the MIF Act

12:36 is being suspended.

12:38 Why are you overthinking?

12:40 It's just one thing.

12:42 The President did not see the name

12:44 he wanted to see on the list.

12:46 He also insisted that the Land Bank and BBP

12:48 have sufficient funds to deposit funds

12:50 in the MIF.

12:52 But some experts are still discussing

12:54 if the Land Bank

12:56 and Development Bank of the Philippines

12:57 will still lend to the agriculture sector

12:59 and small businesses

13:01 if they deposit more than P70 billion

13:03 in the Maharlika Fund.

13:05 A financial advisor,

13:07 a Land Bank and DBP official

13:09 will lend to those sectors

13:11 who have low interest

13:13 to help them grow.

13:15 For every P1,

13:17 that translates in capital

13:19 translates to close to P10 in lending.

13:21 How much is P75 billion?

13:24 You can lend P750 billion.

13:25 If you lend your potential,

13:27 a lot will be lost.

13:29 The food of the country

13:31 will be affected

13:33 because the programs and businesses

13:35 for agriculture will be affected.

13:37 At a time like this,

13:39 our agriculture requires

13:41 a lot of capability building.

13:43 Food inflation is the biggest now.

13:46 We really need the Land Bank

13:48 and the Development Bank

13:50 to help us.

13:53 The Land Bank and the DBP

13:54 are actively pursuing their mandate.

13:57 This was pointed out

13:59 to the House of Representatives

14:01 by some lawmakers.

14:03 So the President should study

14:05 before implementing it.

14:07 We need relief

14:09 for our farmers and farmers.

14:11 Through the fund of the Land Bank,

14:13 the DBP is the same

14:15 for small businesses.

14:17 The Land Bank and Development Bank

14:19 of the Philippines

14:22 are the ones who should be

14:23 involved in this issue.

14:25 For GMA Integrated News,

14:27 Maki Pulido, Maris Umali,

14:29 24 Hours.

14:31 Two more suspects

14:33 in the murder of a criminology student

14:35 Algine Liri Bravante

14:37 turned against the authorities.

14:39 In the investigation,

14:41 the frat members

14:43 who violated initiation rights

14:45 were found drunk.

14:47 June Veneracion was also convicted.

14:50 He was the one who tried

14:51 John Arvin Carl Giusena.

14:53 He was the 6th person

14:55 arrested by the Texas City Police

14:57 for violating the initiation rights

14:59 of the so-called "Neophyte"

15:01 Algine Bravante.

15:03 I just wanted to give up

15:05 so that I can finish.

15:07 Were you with him when he hit you?

15:09 No.

15:11 How long did you enroll that day?

15:13 I was just there.

15:15 Another former suspect

15:17 also gave up.

15:19 I really don't know what happened.

15:20 I wasn't in that scene.

15:22 Even though they were short on answers,

15:24 they have a message to their family

15:26 in Wing Cabrad.

15:28 We are asking for help

15:30 because we don't want what happened.

15:32 We don't want what happened.

15:34 I'm sorry.

15:36 Two of the suspects

15:38 confessed to extrajudicial charges.

15:40 It was revealed that on October 12,

15:42 initiation was already planned.

15:44 According to them,

15:46 a frat member arranged

15:48 an abandoned house

15:49 in Barangay Santo Domingo

15:51 in Quezon City.

15:53 In the two-hour initiation

15:55 on October 16,

15:57 Algine caught 60 people

15:59 from the 20 people

16:01 who spoke

16:03 during the paddle.

16:05 Algine was the only one who joined.

16:07 When the initiation was over,

16:09 he was still okay.

16:11 He was still okay.

16:13 But later on,

16:15 while he was healing

16:17 he was already dizzy.

16:18 Until they revived him.

16:20 He was revived one more time.

16:22 Then the second time,

16:24 he collapsed.

16:26 That's when they decided to bring the suspect.

16:28 When asked by some witnesses,

16:30 it seems that

16:32 the people who joined the initiation were drunk.

16:34 It's dangerous to mix

16:36 such activities

16:38 with alcohol.

16:40 For now,

16:42 6 out of 16 suspects

16:44 were held by the police.

16:46 They were already charged

16:47 with violating anti-hazing law.

16:49 But there are 4 people who are not identified.

16:51 The extrajudicial confession is very important

16:54 because

16:56 that is one of the vital documents

16:58 where they admitted

17:00 their crime.

17:02 Police are still looking for the paddle

17:05 that was used in the Omonoy hazing

17:07 that according to the suspects

17:09 was thrown in the river.

17:11 But whether this can be found or not,

17:13 the Quezon City Police District

17:15 has a solid evidence

17:16 against the suspects.

17:18 For GMA Integrated News,

17:20 Jun Veneracion, 24 Hours.

17:23 The compiling of the BRP Sierra Magre continues

17:33 where the soldiers who guarded Ayungin Shoal

17:37 in the West Philippine Sea are based.

17:39 Marisol Abdurrahman and Chino Gaston were also arrested.

17:43 [Music]

17:46 Because of the 1998 intentional attack on Ayungin Shoal,

17:49 the BRP Sierra Magre is being shaken and is in danger of collapsing.

17:53 This is also the place where the soldiers who guard the area live.

17:57 The living condition

17:59 of our soldiers in the area,

18:02 it is sad to see the state of the living conditions.

18:06 So we're trying to improve that

18:08 by making sure that they have

18:11 at least decent sleeping facilities,

18:14 decent dining facilities,

18:20 internet.

18:22 We can just do superficial repairs on it.

18:24 There are also construction materials being brought there

18:27 to fix the damaged parts of the ship.

18:30 Materials that China has previously said

18:33 that they will block.

18:35 Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr.

18:37 did not release the statement of China

18:40 on the illegal occupation of the Philippines

18:42 in the Pag-asa Island.

18:44 The Philippines occupied Hainan Island.

18:46 That's illegal occupation.

18:48 But those who are here,

18:50 within our 200-mile exclusive economic zone,

18:54 they are the squatters.

18:56 They are illegal occupants here.

18:58 They can apply for a visa.

19:02 They will be given a BID.

19:04 I don't know why they don't want to.

19:06 Teodoro also warned

19:09 that the Philippines' economy will be destroyed

19:10 and the unity of countries

19:12 in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations or ASEAN will be destroyed.

19:16 He did not mention

19:18 which country the threat came from.

19:20 There's always the possibility

19:22 whether through covert money transfers and other means,

19:27 I don't think the Philippines is exempted

19:29 from that kind of phenomenon.

19:31 Especially now,

19:33 where bigger nations

19:38 are going on a diplomatic frenzy,

19:43 particularly to divide ASEAN.

19:46 According to U.S. Ambassador Mary Kay Carlson,

19:49 the United States and the Philippines

19:51 are expected to have more joint patrols

19:53 in the WPS.

19:55 But Carlson does not see

19:57 that America will have a long-term presence

19:59 in the West Philippine Sea.

20:01 We have three important agreements

20:03 that govern our relationship.

20:05 That's the Mutual Defense Treaty,

20:07 the Visiting Forces Agreement

20:08 and the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement.

20:10 And outside of those three foundational agreements,

20:13 that doesn't include space

20:15 for the presence of U.S. troops

20:18 on a long-term basis here in the Philippines.

20:20 So I don't envision that.

20:22 We will not give up an inch of our territory.

20:27 This is the directive of the President

20:30 to the Armed Forces of the Philippines

20:32 on the anniversary of the Naval Air Wing

20:34 at Sangli Point in Cavite.

20:36 This is his challenge to the soldiers.

20:38 Try to exceed excellence.

20:40 Try to surpass the limits

20:43 that you have set for your unit.

20:46 It's hard.

20:48 It's hard work.

20:50 He is eager to be encouraged by these people

20:52 to fulfill their mission.

20:54 And in December,

20:56 there will be additional patrols in the West Philippine Sea.

20:58 This is the Anti-Submarine Helicopter,

21:00 the newest air asset of the Naval Air Wing.

21:04 It has the capability to detect submarines.

21:06 This is a big challenge

21:08 to strengthen the surveillance of our territories.

21:11 It has the capability to strike them.

21:14 So it has a torpedo

21:16 that can hit any submarine

21:19 that is illegally inside our territorial waters.

21:24 If the need arises,

21:26 it can interdict

21:30 or hit other sea crafts

21:34 with its rockets.

21:36 For now,

21:38 there are two anti-submarine helicopters

21:40 for the GMA Integrated News.

21:43 Marisol Abduraman.

21:45 Who wants to be the star? 24 hours.

22:21 and senior editor.

22:24 You can apply here at 24 hours

22:26 or go to careers.gmanetwork.com.

22:29 The DFA has also evacuated

22:32 almost 3,000 Filipinos in the eastern part of Lebanon

22:37 due to the heated meeting between Israel and the Hezbollah group.

22:41 Sandra Aguinaldo was there.

22:43 Along with targeting Hamas,

22:51 Israel also launched an airstrike on the Hezbollah group in southern Lebanon.

22:55 Israeli forces and Hezbollah also had a meeting,

23:00 which is why they are tensed at the Israel and Lebanon borders.

23:03 That is why the Philippine has set up 2,700

23:07 near the eastern part of Lebanon

23:10 to evacuate for their security.

23:13 The Filipinos who fled to the south of Lebanon were also set up.

23:18 According to the Department of Foreign Affairs,

23:20 Lebanon is in Alert Level 2

23:22 where more than 30,000 Filipinos live or work.

23:27 And in the northern part of Israel,

23:30 70 Filipinos are already evacuated.

23:33 For GMA Integrated News,

23:45 Sandra Aguinaldo,

23:48 24 Hours.

23:50 Whether they are alive or dead,

23:52 their families want to know where the missing children are.

23:55 Their longing for waiting is true.

23:58 In my exclusive news,

24:00 More than a month has passed

24:05 since the police arrested the six Manila Arena guards

24:09 who were involved in the case of missing children in Paranaque.

24:15 In this development, some of the families of the victims were given hope

24:18 that the case will be cleared.

24:21 The police told us that if the six are caught,

24:25 there will be good results.

24:29 It means that we can know where they brought the missing people.

24:34 We hope that we can know where they are and what they did.

24:40 But the answer to their question remains unanswered.

24:44 The law enforcement officers are now holding the so-called "susie"

24:47 to clarify the case.

24:49 We hope that when the six are caught,

24:53 we can find the missing people more easily.

24:58 But it's been a few weeks since they were caught,

25:02 and there's still no news.

25:04 Whether they are alive or dead,

25:06 they want to know where they brought their loved ones

25:10 and their beliefs.

25:13 This is the answer of the arrested guards.

25:15 Did they confess or did they confess who the mastermind is?

25:20 We are still asking for justice even though they were caught.

25:25 Because the first hearing of the six was the last.

25:30 We did not receive any punishment to go to the hearing.

25:35 Meanwhile, this is what we've been waiting for a long time,

25:38 to see them personally being treated.

25:42 I hope that this story will end.

25:44 I hope that we will have peace of mind about what happened.

25:49 I hope that the government will still pursue this,

25:52 even though some of us are gone and some of us are already behind.

25:57 We are continuing to work hard to get the PNP-CIDG.

26:01 But first, they said that the case is already in the court

26:05 and they will not give a comment.

26:09 For GMA Integrated News, Emil Sumangil,

26:12 for Tutok 24 Horas.

26:14 My fellow countrymen,

26:25 some parts of the country were flooded early

26:27 like what we experienced here in Metro Manila.

26:30 According to the forecast,

26:32 it will reach the so-called shear line

26:34 that will continue to affect some places tomorrow.

26:38 Even if you walk tomorrow,

26:39 be careful and make sure that you are updated always in the weather.

26:43 The wind from the north eastern ocean is continuously blowing in Northern Luzon.

26:48 Or what we call the northeasterly surface wind flow.

26:52 The effect of the shear line or the boundary of different air masses

26:57 will also be felt, the northeasterly surface wind flow and the easterlies.

27:01 Because it is formed by thick clouds,

27:05 or the flow of wind, the weather will be expected to be affected,

27:09 particularly in Central Luzon.

27:11 Based on the data of Metro Weather,

27:14 it is possible that the rain will be expected tomorrow in Luzon, especially in the afternoon.

27:17 It includes some parts of Northern Luzon,

27:20 almost the whole Central Luzon, Calabarzon, Mimaropa and Bicol Region.

27:25 There will be heavy rain in some places,

27:27 so be prepared for the flood or landslide.

27:30 In Metro Manila, like earlier,

27:34 there will be heavy rain before noon,

27:36 as expected here in Caloocan, Quezon City and Marikina.

27:40 In the afternoon, more places will be flooded.

27:43 Be careful, our commuters and those who are campaigning

27:47 for the upcoming barangay and SK Elections.

27:50 In Visayas, there will be heavy rain even in the morning,

27:54 like here in Cebu and Bohol.

27:56 By the afternoon, the rain will be more widespread

28:00 and there will be heavy rain here in Antique, Samar and Leyte Provinces.

28:05 In Mindanao, there will be scattered rain in the morning.

28:09 Be alert because more places will be flooded in the afternoon.

28:13 Heavy to intense rains are possible here in Northern Mindanao,

28:17 Barm, Soksarjen and Karaga.

28:19 Be prepared for possible floods or landslides

28:23 even if the rain continues.

28:25 And that's the latest news for now.

28:29 I'm Maureen Schreiber for GMA Integrated News Weather Center.

28:32 We are your hosts, anytime, anytime.

28:35 11 days before the barangay and SK Elections,

28:45 we will start the 10-day campaign for that.

28:49 In Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.

28:51 Let's start with Luzon, where Tina Pangaliban Perez is live.

28:56 Tina.

28:59 Emil, it's raining and gloomy in Metro Manila

29:02 on the first day of the campaign for the barangay SK Elections.

29:06 But the candidates and their supporters

29:08 did not stop going out,

29:11 attaching campaign materials and going around.

29:14 The posters and people who are protesting in Barangay Bagong Silangan, Quezon City

29:22 are scattered in one place in Metro Manila

29:26 and are not included in the Orange category of Comelec

29:28 because of the expected hot battle.

29:31 If Comelec is established again,

29:33 the category of a place can change depending on the situation.

29:36 Let's remind them of the correct size of the posters,

29:39 which are 2 by 3 feet.

29:41 Also, the places where they can be attached.

29:44 It's prohibited in public places,

29:46 including cables.

29:48 But there are still people like that.

29:50 They have people who are attached.

29:52 They have people who are attached.

29:55 They are being oriented by training.

29:56 You will be the one who will be responsible for that.

29:58 It's prohibited to give anything,

30:00 like T-shirts, ballers, sombrero,

30:03 umbrella, food, especially money,

30:05 because it is considered vote buying.

30:07 The total expenses should be equivalent to P5,

30:11 multiplied by the number of voters in the barangay.

30:15 And the campaign materials should be biodegradable.

30:19 It cannot be contaminated.

30:21 A large percentage of it is posted on social media.

30:24 It's better there.

30:25 At the same time, it's cheaper.

30:27 So that the motorcades in the traffic will not be in the way,

30:30 and there will be no barriers,

30:32 checkpoints in some places in Metro Manila were strictly implemented.

30:36 Tomorrow, Comelec of Oplan Baklas will be held

30:43 for the illegal campaign materials.

30:45 October 28 is the last day of the campaign.

30:48 Emil?

30:50 Thank you very much. Tina Panganiban Perez.

30:53 How are you doing from the start of the campaign in Visayas?

30:56 And live in Cebu,

30:58 Nico Sereno of GMA Regional TV, Balitang Piklang.

31:02 Nico!

31:05 Vicky, the campaign period has already been extended

31:10 to the candidates,

31:12 so be careful with their campaigns

31:14 that will last until October 28.

31:16 Even if no one was accepted,

31:21 Comelec and the police

31:22 are under the jurisdiction of the Barangay and SK Elections here in Cebu.

31:26 The reminder is strict

31:28 to more than 100,000 candidates here in the center of Visayas

31:31 who followed the rules of the election

31:34 if they do not want to be sued and disqualified.

31:37 The limitation on expenses in the campaign is also to be monitored.

31:41 And the placement of campaign materials

31:44 in Comelec designated areas.

31:46 It is even prohibited to pack wood

31:50 according to the City Environment and Natural Resources Office.

31:53 Only 24 out of 41 regions in Region 7

31:57 are under the Election Area of Concern,

32:00 including some areas in Bohol and Negros Oriental

32:04 that are under the jurisdiction of communist terrorist groups

32:07 and incidents of terrorism.

32:09 12,000 people are ready to monitor the elections in Central Visayas,

32:14 including police and soldiers.

32:17 [Crickets chirping]

32:19 [Train horn]

32:21 Tomorrow, October 20 and October 27,

32:24 Comelec and the various government positions

32:27 will be held by the Oplan Baklas.

32:30 Vicky?

32:32 Thank you very much, Nico Sereno

32:34 of GMA Regional TV, Balitang Bisda.

32:37 [Train horn]

32:39 The campaign period in various places in Mindanao is also colorful.

32:42 And live in Davao City,

32:45 we learned from Argyle Relator of GMA Regional TV, Juan Mindanao.

32:49 [Train horn]

32:51 Argyle?

32:53 [Speaking in Tagalog]

33:08 [Train horn]

33:12 The campaign of some candidates in the barangay and S.K. elections in Mindanao

33:16 is literally a rancor.

33:18 Including General Santos City,

33:20 where the campaign jingles woke up early.

33:23 In Davao City,

33:25 campaign posters are hanging on the left and right.

33:28 Expensive tarpaulins or bags written with names.

33:32 Many also hung on the power poles,

33:35 wooden trees,

33:37 and in the not designated common poster areas,

33:41 even if it's prohibited.

33:42 While in Cagayan de Oro City,

33:44 the campaign of some candidates is fast,

33:47 so that the barangay can be supported

33:50 before the campaign period ends.

33:52 In Zamboanga City,

33:54 the campaign posters are already full

33:56 of the main streets in the city.

33:58 Many also held house-to-house campaigns.

34:01 [Indistinct chatter]

34:06 According to the regulations of the Comelac,

34:09 the candidates will be given a notice to remove and show cross-order.

34:13 Meanwhile, the gay-offline campaign will start tomorrow.

34:16 Pia.

34:18 Thank you very much,

34:20 our Jill Relator of GMA Regional TV, Juan Mindanao.

34:23 [Train horn]

34:25 Even though the war of Israel against Hamas still continues,

34:27 Grace Prodigo Cabrera

34:29 is already known as the fourth Filipino who was killed in the war.

34:32 According to her family,

34:34 in Iloilo, she was confirmed by the OAT Philippine Embassy.

34:38 Cabrera's body was identified by her fingerprints.

34:40 But the family still does not know

34:42 what caused Grace's death

34:45 and how it was found.

34:47 Grace is one of the victims of the Hamas group of October 7,

34:50 as well as the three other children of her employer.

34:53 A group of dog rescuers in Davao City is worried

34:58 after their animal shelter was closed

35:01 due to the smell.

35:03 They are afraid that the dogs might be found

35:07 and dispatched if there is no one to rescue them.

35:09 This is Kent Abregana of GMA Regional TV, Juan Mindanao.

35:13 [Train horn]

35:15 It was hard to walk after being bitten by the dog Axel.

35:20 But now, he is healthy and has no more wounds.

35:23 He is also able to move freely

35:26 using a wheelchair.

35:28 Axel is one of the hundreds of dogs

35:30 who were given a second chance in life

35:32 after being rescued by Happy Animals Club in Davao City.

35:36 We rehabilitate them, we feed them,

35:38 we feed them more.

35:40 Until they are healthy,

35:42 we can show them to their families

35:44 that they are loved forever.

35:46 But now, the dogs are being banned from being kept at home

35:49 after the Davao City Health Office issued a closure order

35:52 for the Happy Animals Club's shelter.

35:54 The neighbors complained

35:56 because of the smell of the shelter

35:58 which was denied by the group.

36:00 We have rescued hundreds of animals.

36:02 We were able to rehabilitate many of them.

36:05 And a lot of them have been adopted into good homes.

36:07 Because the gate of the so-called animal shelter

36:09 was already closed,

36:11 the group's movement is limited.

36:13 Sir, we are not allowed to rescue.

36:15 That's the number one part that we can't rescue.

36:18 Now, we have received a lot of rescue requests.

36:20 We can't even take care of the family.

36:22 We don't have adoptions.

36:24 The complainant tried to get the GMA Regional TV's statement

36:27 but his house was still locked.

36:29 The neighbors said,

36:32 "Sometimes, you can smell the rain or heat."

36:35 We also tried to get the OAC's statement from the City Health Office.

36:39 There's no comment.

36:41 How many dogs can you take care of?

36:44 If there's a lot, or if it's just yesterday,

36:46 I can still take care of a lot of dogs.

36:49 So far, there are meetings, right?

36:52 Yes.

36:53 The shelter is still being worried

36:55 for the dogs that are being taken care of

36:57 in the Dog Empound of Lungson.

37:00 If they are in the Dog Empound,

37:02 they will be in the shelter for 72 hours.

37:05 If you don't take care of them,

37:07 they will be in the shelter for more than 72 hours.

37:10 We also tried to get the statement

37:12 but the City Veterinary Office refused to give it.

37:15 For GMA Integrated News,

37:18 Kent Abrigana,

37:20 of GMA Regional TV, One Mindanao,

37:22 24 Hours.

37:24 Is there still a way to rescue the sleeping grandfather

37:29 of the monitor lizard or bayawak?

37:31 In this video taken in Thailand,

37:33 you can see a bayawak

37:35 that suddenly entered the grandfather's room

37:37 and slowly, slowly, he was approached.

37:40 It's a good thing that his daughter saw him

37:43 and that the bayawak didn't just attack him.

37:46 In the end, the bayawak just ran away

37:49 without getting hurt.

37:51 Asian water monitor lizards

37:53 eat fish,

37:55 snails,

37:58 and humans.

37:59 It becomes aggressive when it feels threatened

38:01 and can also attack its prey.

38:04 The Kileig just gets better and better

38:10 with the return of Monique,

38:12 played by Barbie Fortesta,

38:14 in the movie "Sinu Kamal".

38:16 The extra dose of sweetness

38:18 is plenty for the Barda shippers

38:20 because of their recent Hong Kong trip.

38:22 Cheers to Lars Santiago!

38:25 [Music]

38:35 The Barda shippers are now free.

38:38 Now, the true identity of the character

38:41 of Barbie Forteza

38:43 as Monique

38:45 in "Sinu Kamal" is returned.

38:47 It's fun because as you can see,

38:49 I'm a woman now.

38:51 But it's not just Barbie who's happy.

38:53 David Licauco is also happy.

38:55 This is Karding.

38:57 Monique,

39:00 this is for you.

39:02 I told him the other day

39:07 that it's our first time

39:09 to be flirtatious

39:11 in the scene.

39:13 Sweet-sweetan.

39:15 Sorry, my terms are a bit...

39:17 Karding na.

39:19 Yes, we became karding.

39:22 But he's been a dino for a long time.

39:23 So, it's a bit hard.

39:25 But I think it's a bit hard

39:27 to...

39:29 flirtatiously.

39:31 But now, of course,

39:33 Monique is here.

39:35 She's Barbie now.

39:37 So, I think the job is easier.

39:39 For some,

39:41 the first kissing scene

39:43 of Monique and Karding

39:45 is already a bit flirty.

39:47 Monique,

39:51 where's my inhaler?

39:53 I didn't bring it.

39:59 Wait.

40:01 While they're in a mountain house

40:03 where Alice Dixon is with them,

40:06 the feeling is mutual

40:09 for Team Barda

40:11 who's very popular with Alice.

40:13 Jolly, actually.

40:15 And she's flirtatious.

40:17 And she's very beautiful.

40:20 Sometimes,

40:21 I feel like I'm being caught.

40:23 I'm just looking at her.

40:25 I love her aura.

40:27 She's very pleasing.

40:29 And she's a good listener also.

40:32 So, yeah, very humble.

40:34 That's why she's happy

40:36 to be with me.

40:38 Last weekend,

40:40 Barbie and David went to Hong Kong

40:42 for the pictorial

40:44 of a glossy fashion magazine.

40:46 We're really grateful

40:49 for this opportunity

40:50 because we know

40:52 it's hard to bring

40:54 an artist to Hong Kong for a shoot.

40:56 It's a big deal for us.

40:58 I'm very happy and thrilled

41:00 that finally,

41:02 we'll do a cover shoot.

41:04 It's a great thing

41:06 that we were chosen as Barda.

41:08 It's an honor, of course.

41:10 And to shoot it in Hong Kong,

41:12 that's a big plus.

41:14 War Santiago updated

41:16 on the showbiz happening.

41:19 President Bongbong Marcos

41:20 arrived in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

41:22 for his visit

41:24 to the ASEAN Gulf Cooperation Council Summit.

41:26 He's expected to discuss

41:28 with his help

41:30 and officials of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

41:32 the delayed fees for former OFWs

41:34 from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

41:36 J.P. Soriano is live.

41:38 J.P.

41:40 Good afternoon from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

41:47 Good evening to you in the Philippines.

41:48 It's almost noon here in Riyadh

41:50 and it's almost 6 p.m. in the Philippines

41:52 when President Bongbong Marcos

41:54 arrived in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

41:56 on a presidential plane

41:58 to attend the ASEAN GCC Summit.

42:01 And this afternoon,

42:03 he's expected to have

42:05 a roundtable meeting

42:07 with the business leaders

42:09 of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

42:11 and the business community

42:13 and discuss

42:16 the delays

42:17 in the payment

42:19 of unpaid wages

42:21 to the ASEAN Gulf Cooperation Council.

42:23 And here is my report.

42:25 He's a member of the

42:27 construction business

42:29 of his brother,

42:31 Eduardo.

42:33 Eduardo is a former

42:35 skilled worker in Saudi Arabia

42:37 who's waiting

42:39 to receive a salary

42:41 from his brother's company

42:43 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

42:45 He was in debt

42:46 when the Saudi Crown Prince

42:48 promised a salary

42:50 of one year

42:52 like Eduardo's.

42:54 The promise was broken

42:56 but nothing happened yet.

42:58 I don't know,

43:00 if Mr. President

43:02 goes to Saudi Arabia,

43:04 maybe

43:06 we can get what we're asking for.

43:08 Eduardo's target

43:10 is the help of President Bongbong Marcos

43:12 to the leaders

43:14 of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

43:15 Tomorrow,

43:17 the ASEAN Gulf Cooperation Council Summit

43:19 will be held here in Riyadh.

43:21 Eduardo is just one

43:23 of the 10,000 Filipino workers

43:25 who worked here in Saudi for several years

43:28 but were not paid by

43:30 some oil and construction companies

43:32 after they declared

43:34 bankruptcy

43:36 or bankruptcy,

43:38 which changed the lives

43:40 of thousands of Filipino skilled workers

43:43 who lost their jobs

43:44 after going abroad.

43:46 Many died,

43:48 many will still follow.

43:50 I don't know if I can count

43:52 the number of people who died

43:54 in the past.

43:56 My son should have graduated

43:58 but because of what happened,

44:00 he stopped.

44:02 Because of his job,

44:04 I didn't send him to school.

44:12 I'm really waiting for him.

44:13 I'm asking our President,

44:15 President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.,

44:17 to remember us.

44:19 Aside from talking about

44:23 the payment of salaries,

44:25 the President will also support

44:27 the negotiations between

44:29 the Philippines and Saudi Arabia

44:31 for the protection

44:33 of the OFWs there.

44:35 BBM has arrived, right?

44:41 Yes.

44:42 President BBM has arrived

44:44 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

44:46 From Riyadh, Saudi Arabia,

44:48 and for GMA Integrated News,
