00:07 Live from the GMA Network Center, this is 24 Horas.
00:12 [Music]
00:16 A thick and black smoke in the middle of the raging fire
00:21 spread in a residential area in Recto, Manila.
00:25 More than 100 families lost their homes in that fire.
00:30 We will give you the full details later.
00:34 Good evening, Zon, Visayas and Mindanao.
00:40 Both are facing a controversy.
00:44 The two most prominent leaders of the country
00:48 after the accusation of illegal drug use against President Bongbong Marcos.
00:54 Vice President Sara Duterte was accused of starting a drug deal
01:00 when she was the mayor of Davao City.
01:02 The former member of Davao Death Squad was accused of that
01:06 in the pre-trial investigation of the International Criminal Court.
01:10 The leader of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ, Pastor Apollo Q. Buloy,
01:14 and several other senators were also accused of allegations.
01:18 And that is what Salima Refran is talking about.
01:21 [Music]
01:24 I am calling on President Ferdinand Bongbong Marcos Jr.
01:30 to be careful and not to trust the devil of Davao,
01:38 that is Rodrigo Roa Duterte and that, allegedly Vice President Sara Tambalos Los Duterte.
01:50 These are my traitors.
01:53 The former police also accused the former member of Davao Death Squad, Arturo LascaƱas,
02:00 in the middle of the pre-trial investigation of former President Rodrigo Duterte against President Bongbong Marcos.
02:06 LascaƱas faced the media from a non-referred place abroad
02:10 where the pre-trial investigation of him was already completed
02:14 by the International Criminal Court, Office of the Prosecutor.
02:18 His affidavit is 186 pages and there is also a notebook
02:23 that contains all the information about the murders commissioned by former President Duterte
02:30 to be allegations against his children, Vice President Sara and Congressman Pulong Duterte.
02:36 The Office of the Prosecutor accepted this as an exhibit.
02:41 I have a graph that I made about the duties in anti-crime task force,
02:54 King's clan task force and when Duterte became mayor.
03:01 According to LascaƱas, following the media's accusations of riding in tandem in Davao City
03:07 that there were murders and no one was investigating,
03:11 Duterte was accused of being the Davao City Mayor, Oplan Tukhang.
03:16 He was the one who started Oplan Tukhang.
03:19 When he became mayor in 2012, he appointed Batu de la Rosa as chief of police of Davao City.
03:31 Batu de la Rosa told me that they crafted a new extradition killing campaign against illegal drugs,
03:42 which is Tuk-Tuk-Hang-Yo, meaning Tukhang,
03:47 target personalities, illegal drugs, especially those who use shabu and sell drugs.
03:54 She said that they crafted the campaign and targeted the missing person.
04:04 LascaƱas was asked how many people he thought were killed in Tukhang in Davao City.
04:09 In my estimation, there were more or less 3,000.
04:17 But the total damage, the missing and the people who were killed in Davao City, more or less 10,000.
04:26 He said that he was separated from the people who were killed in the vast Tukhang he was in charge of.
04:31 Separated from Metro Manila.
04:33 Did anyone investigate this? No.
04:36 Did Vice President Tambalos Lozara investigate this? No.
04:44 The people who were killed in Davao City.
04:47 GMA Integrated News is trying to get the panic of Vice President Duterte from LascaƱas' words.
04:54 But he said that he was not able to change his name to Omanoy Davao Death Squad
05:01 in the years when he served as the Vice Mayor and Mayor of Davao City.
05:05 But when he was elected as Vice Mayor,
05:08 he suddenly had a witness against him and he was already with the accused in the ICC.
05:14 He said that he did not need the death squad for the things he can do.
05:20 He was ready to face any accusation against him,
05:23 but he will only face a Filipino court and a Filipino court.
05:28 LascaƱas added allegations to former President Duterte.
05:32 He has a hold on the Shabu Laboratories in Davao Region.
05:36 You're fooling the Filipinos. What did you do?
05:40 Drug war? What drug war? You're the drug lord.
05:42 He's trying to kill our group of people, the 11 Chinese workers,
05:49 enchemists of the Shabu Laboratories and the workers of Barangay Obreo.
05:55 Mayor Duterte is in charge here in Southern Mindanao, here in the Shabu Laboratories.
06:03 The collection of former President's guns is not limited to 300.
06:08 The collection of Mayor Duterte during my time is more than 1,000.
06:15 I got this from Kibuloy.
06:17 When Kibuloy was traveling, he brought Duterte's airplane to America.
06:25 He brought spare parts, silencers, bullets, and other parts.
06:32 GMA Integrated used to try to get the former President's gun,
06:37 but he used to deny the allegations that he has a Shabu Laboratory.
06:41 He also denied the allegations that he has a lot of guns.
06:44 I don't have unregistered guns in my house.
06:50 It's a collector's item. It's allowed by law.
06:53 How can you use it against me when the practice of giving a collector's license is allowed by law?
07:03 Las CaƱas also called for the help of former Mayor and former President Duterte,
07:08 Senator Bato Dela Rosa, who was the Davao City Police Chief then,
07:13 and Senator Bong Go, who were long-time aides.
07:16 They are among those who gave orders to the Davao Death Squad.
07:18 The Death Squad is getting personal identification data from Mr. D. Guzman
07:28 of the Land Transportation Office of Davao City.
07:32 This is complete with the details of where the target lives,
07:36 what vehicle he used, and what color of vehicle.
07:42 If you let him go, he will leave. He is clean. He is my own. It's up to him to decide.
07:49 We are also trying to get the statement of Mr. Gu, Mr. Kibuloy, and other names of Las CaƱas.
07:55 For GMA Integrated News, Salima Rafran, Katutok, 24 Hours.
08:00 The Mindanao was separated from the Republic of the Philippines,
08:05 which is now being led by the group of former President Rodrigo Duterte.
08:10 He also challenged the President to conduct a drug test,
08:14 which he said was a result of his visit to the Rehab in Germany.
08:17 In the new 2022 presidential campaign,
08:22 Argyle Relator of GMA Regional TV 1 Mindanao was in the spotlight.
08:27 Former President Rodrigo Duterte challenged President Bongbong Marcos
08:36 after the statement of House Speaker Martin Ruimualdez,
08:40 who is a public figure of the former president,
08:42 to conduct a drug test on the accusation of drug addict Marcos.
08:46 Why should I conduct a drug test? It is for him to sit in Luneta Park.
08:52 If he gets blood there, an independent entity or doctor,
08:59 I will also get it. Okay, I will also get it.
09:02 They are in the public office. There is an accusation against you.
09:07 Then you have to disprove it. It is not for me to prove it.
09:12 Duterte said that in a press conference in Davao City last night.
09:17 Former President Duterte also raised a high question to President Marcos.
09:21 Why did you go to Germany right before the campaign for the presidency?
09:29 Why did you go there and get a rehabilitation?
09:33 I am not saying that you got a drug rehabilitation.
09:36 Why did you go there and enter the rehab center?
09:40 GMA Integrated News is also trying to get the president's or his statement here.
09:47 But President Marcos said that the use of a painkiller, fentanyl,
09:54 might have an effect on Duterte's statement against him.
09:57 Duterte said that he stopped drinking fentanyl.
10:02 It has been 8 years and he only used it.
10:05 According to the doctor's prescription, when he got into an accident on a motorcycle.
10:09 I will ask you, does cocaine have a prescription?
10:14 Where do you get your supply?
10:16 I know people who go to Malacanan.
10:20 They are all together.
10:23 As a matter of fact, that's what you do in your cabinet.
10:27 Your buddies back then, when you were still in the military,
10:33 you were with them.
10:35 If you were here in Davao, you were drinking cocaine.
10:40 There in Tadico, I want to make it clear,
10:45 one of them is in Malacanan, working.
10:50 The former president also denied the prescription after the agency said that
10:55 President Marcos is not on their drug watch list.
10:59 These prescriptions, these drugs, who the f**k will give the prescription?
11:05 You will give the prescription? Sir, this is your record in Narco.
11:11 It is natural that they will refuse to give it to you.
11:15 The former president was with the former speaker, Congressman Pantaleon Alvarez, in a press conference.
11:21 In the midst of controversy, in line with the People's Initiative,
11:25 their group is also in a dilemma,
11:28 which is planning to have a secession or separation of Mindanao from the Republic of the Philippines.
11:33 I am sending Bebot.
11:37 Bebot Alvarez is the first one to walk the steps
11:46 about the desirability of Mindanao seceding from the Republic of the Philippines.
11:57 So if you are just there in Luzon,
12:01 or in Visayas, it's up to you.
12:07 Even if you are here, we will give our resources to them.
12:15 Mindanao is rich, but you can come.
12:18 If we are independent, I really want to.
12:23 I am tired of some presidents.
12:28 Nothing happened in the Philippines.
12:31 Duterte quickly said that this is not a violation of the law.
12:36 It's not a rebellion, it's not a sedition.
12:39 There's a process in that, I think before the UN,
12:46 where you would gather signatures from all sorts in Mindanao,
12:55 verified under oath in the presence of so many people,
13:01 the sign that we want is separate.
13:06 It's time for Mindanao to separate from the Philippines.
13:10 I would like to tell this to Mr. Marcos.
13:14 Sir, let go of the ICC. Don't help me with that.
13:19 I will take care of it. Because if Mindanao becomes a state,
13:25 Alvarez will hide me here in Mindanao.
13:28 The former president also denied his plans to run in the next election.
13:34 I am permanently retired.
13:37 It's permanent.
13:39 I don't want that anymore. I'm tired. I can't do it anymore.
13:44 From GMA Regional TV, Juan Mindanao and GMA Integrated News,
13:49 Orijil Relator, 24 Hours.
13:53 A fire broke out in a residential area in Recto, Manila,
13:58 which was affected by the operation of LRT-2.
14:01 The latest there, we will find out live from Mark Salazar.
14:05 Mark, how was the fire?
14:11 Vicky, no one died, no one was hurt.
14:15 But 150 families lost their homes
14:19 because of the fire that reached the 5th alarm.
14:23 And like what you said, Vicky,
14:26 the adjacent Recto station was affected by LRT-2.
14:30 It means that this station was crossed by a line.
14:34 It means that no one went down, no one rode in the station while the fire was being fought.
14:39 [sirens]
14:43 Past 3 o'clock, the Bureau of Fire Protection received a call
14:50 from a burning house in Barangay 310 in Recto Avenue, Santa Cruz, Manila.
14:55 It was just next to the Recto station of LRT-2.
14:59 The fire spread very quickly,
15:01 except for the construction of light materials, the houses and the establishments.
15:06 The fire only grew in size in one hour because of the 5th alarm.
15:10 Because of the fire inside, the fire spread,
15:13 it was difficult for the firefighters to spread the hose.
15:16 You saw the distance of the area, right?
15:19 Maybe it was spread.
15:20 Some of them spread more than 10 hoses to reach inside.
15:26 It was a bit tight, our fire trucks couldn't reach there.
15:29 So what they did, at the end, they just relayed water.
15:32 Residents were rushing in different directions
15:35 to bring whatever they could save.
15:37 I was alone and I have three cats.
15:40 How many cats did you save?
15:42 I saved one, three. Two are there.
15:45 It was dark, the lights went out.
15:47 I couldn't see them anymore so I saved one.
15:51 It was still early for the BFP to know where the fire started and what the reason was.
15:56 But the barangay members already asked questions.
15:59 According to what I heard, the fire started in the computer room.
16:06 Maybe the computer was not working for a long time,
16:11 that's why the fire started.
16:14 The power line in the area is connected to the outside,
16:17 which is called spaghetti connection.
16:19 That's why in the past fires here, the reason was all electrical short circuits.
16:24 Last year, the Uroqueta was burned.
16:28 Now, last week, this was just a small fire.
16:32 Now, it's a big one.
16:33 Before it was released to the East, the fire was declared out.
16:42 But the LRT2 trains are still not passing through the Recto Station
16:48 because they are still fixing the line.
16:51 There are still many people here and some firefighters are still staying in the area.
16:57 Live from Santa Cruz, Manila, for GMA Integrated News,
17:03 Mark Salazar, 24 Hours.
17:06 Thank you very much, Mark Salazar.
17:08 In the middle of a bad time,
17:11 the land that was once a wasteland was taken by the missing brethren in Davao Oriental.
17:17 Familiaries of the affected are now in the area.
17:21 Jandi Esteban of GMA Regional TV 1 is live from the area.
17:27 Jandi?
17:28 Mel, the rain is still not stopping here in Davao Oriental.
17:36 So, we are worried that the families of the affected may still be in the area.
17:40 Now, there are more than 600 families.
17:43 This SUV was hit by a falling tree.
17:50 The land was left untouched by the continuous rain.
17:53 It's still wet.
17:54 The water is deep.
18:00 The land is still wet.
18:03 But the clearing operation is not yet over.
18:07 Another fallen tree was found.
18:09 A brother was also lost and his house was flooded by the landslide
18:14 in Barangay Panlaisan, Piton, Lungsod, Caraga.
18:17 It is still dangerous to go there.
18:20 In Taragona, Davao Oriental,
18:22 two men bravely rode their motorcycles to the riverbed.
18:27 Residents were helpless but were still worried
18:30 because the riverbed was not yet fixed and was damaged in the middle of bad weather.
18:34 The riverbed in Barangay PM Sobrikari, Caraga was also not accessible.
18:40 The water was splashing from the riverbed
18:44 and it also started to splash on the riverbed.
18:48 The riverbed was flooded so it was temporarily closed.
18:52 The road in Barangay Poblacion was flooded.
18:55 The fallen trees and the land was also flooded.
19:01 The water in the riverbed in Barangay San Antonio was also splashing.
19:05 In the whole of Davao Oriental,
19:08 the affected families are more than 600.
19:12 The road in Amakan, Kabantian, Davao City was also flooded
19:16 so small vehicles could not pass.
19:19 Some residents in Agusan del Sur used mud
19:23 to cross the strong water that was almost flooded.
19:28 All the LGUs in Davao Oriental declared a class suspension
19:38 based on the initial report of the provincial government
19:41 that six houses were damaged while the flood was rising.
19:46 Aside from two in Caraga,
19:47 one in Mangingisda in Governor Generoso is still being searched
19:51 and two in Bantuan, Barangay Dadong in Taragona.
19:56 Mel.
19:57 Thank you very much, Jhang D. Esteban of GMA Regional TV 1 Mindanao.
20:03 The government ended the target of the economic recovery
20:07 for 2023 which is slower than the one in 2022.
20:13 It is still possible to be affected by issues and changes in politics,
20:18 according to NEDA.
20:19 And Maki Pulido was the one who pointed it out.
20:21 There is no doubt that the government did not reach
20:27 the target of gross domestic product or GDP growth for 2023.
20:32 5.6% of GDP growth was seen last year,
20:37 compared to the 6-7% target.
20:38 GDP is the total gross domestic product and service.
20:43 GDP growth last year was 5.6% lower than 2011.
20:48 The impact of inflation of course directly is on the household
20:51 final consumption expenditure.
20:53 While it grew in the fourth quarter, relative to the other quarters,
20:58 it slowed down, particularly in 2022.
21:02 So we saw the impact on food expenditure.
21:08 This is what some of our speakers felt.
21:10 Expensive rice, vegetables, rice, and even LPG.
21:13 The price of rice cannot be increased,
21:15 so Jhang said that their rice fields are having a hard time earning.
21:20 We are still paying for it.
21:22 I am just making ends meet.
21:26 But NEDA is concerned that the economy may be affected
21:30 by the current political situation.
21:32 In the midst of controversies,
21:34 the leaders of the Congress and the former and current president
21:38 are pushing for a change in the legal system.
21:42 This is related to the drug issue.
21:44 For the economic manager of NEDA, Secretary Arsenio Balisacan,
21:48 any political instability has an effect on the economy
21:51 because the leaders are refusing.
21:54 We hope that this will settle down soon
21:59 and then we can get our acts again.
22:05 But I think that I am not really that worried now.
22:10 We want to ensure that stability is maintained
22:16 because at the end of the day,
22:18 it's what determines major decisions in relation to investment.
22:25 Despite this, the Department of Finance is confident
22:28 that the economy will recover this year.
22:30 The GDP growth target is set at 6.5 to 7.5 percent.
22:35 For GMA Integrated News, Maki Polido for 24 Hours.
22:40 Happy Midweek, my dear friends!
22:46 Sania Lopez is proud of her upcoming series, "Pulang Araw."
22:52 She's also excited because she'll be working with a big-time actor.
22:57 Let's talk to Lars Santiago.
22:59 The year is just starting,
23:05 but the hands of the star Sania Lopez are already full
23:09 with a lot of work.
23:11 One of the first things she did was to create her own jewelry line
23:16 that she found in a mall in Manila.
23:19 Sania really wanted to design a 1940s-inspired necklace
23:26 to use in the taping of the upcoming series, "Pulang Araw."
23:31 Everyone is really happy for this, "Pulang Araw,"
23:35 and excited because the writing of the story is really beautiful.
23:41 It's also important.
23:42 And while you're reading it, you can already feel it.
23:47 Sania's story is exciting
23:50 about how production is bringing back the look of the surroundings
23:55 of World War II.
23:57 They're really bringing back our location to the 1940s.
24:02 It's nice that when we go there, we get amazed.
24:06 The kind of chairs, they don't use wooden planks.
24:12 So there are things like that.
24:14 "Oh, really? So how did they make that?"
24:16 The First Lady of the Philippine Prime Time also praised
24:20 the beautiful working relationship of her co-stars
24:25 like Alden Richards and Barbie Forteza.
24:29 The three of us, Alden and Barbie, are already in one scene.
24:34 So we're okay.
24:36 David and I are not in it yet because there's a reason.
24:42 Aside from the four of them,
24:44 there's also a big male actor who's going to be in "Pulang Araw,"
24:49 so Sania is excited.
24:52 They're waiting to see what will happen there
24:59 to see if they'll be allies or enemies.
25:01 So, we'll just wait.
25:03 In the middle of the busy taping,
25:06 Sania also made a film.
25:09 She finished shooting "Playtime with Sian Lim,"
25:14 "Colin Garcia," and "Fel Lorenzo"
25:17 directed by Mark Reyes.
25:20 Sania also prepared for the taping of the mega fantasy series "Sangre."
25:27 War Santiago updated on the latest happenings.
25:33 Good news, Kapuso.
25:35 Some cancer, hypertension, diabetes, and other medicines
25:38 will be cheaper after removing the skin.
25:42 Marisol Abduraman is on the scene.
25:47 In 2021, Judith Nieva was diagnosed with breast cancer.
25:52 She had a big bump, so she needed chemotherapy.
25:56 Fortunately, she got free medicine from a public hospital.
25:59 But the cost of other medicines is still high.
26:02 Of course, there are other recipes that I need.
26:07 Judith is only depending on her children
26:09 because she can't make a living from her illness.
26:12 So, Judith received a big help
26:14 from the Bureau of Internal Revenue
26:17 that removed some medicines from the Value Added Tax, or VAT.
26:20 This means that the price of these medicines will be lowered.
26:23 These include cancer medicines, diabetes, hypertension,
26:27 kidney disease, mental illness, and tuberculosis.
26:31 I can still afford to buy them.
26:33 Instead of paying the tax, I can just go to the medicine.
26:38 Roy Atienza, who has been in hypertension maintenance for more than 10 years,
26:42 is also happy with the news.
26:44 The medicines that we buy, if the VAT is removed,
26:48 will be added to our daily expenses.
26:51 The Department of Health also considers this a welcome development.
26:55 These are drugs that are needed by people who are sick.
26:57 So, the VAT exemption is very important
27:00 because that lowers the price of medicine.
27:02 According to the DOH, the VAT exemption is important
27:05 because it will lower the price of medicines.
27:07 Some people find it difficult because they stop taking medicines
27:10 because of the high price of these medicines.
27:13 Uncontrolled is the most modern way of controlling the non-communicable diseases.
27:19 That's why I prioritized hypertension and diabetes,
27:22 two of the most common non-communicable diseases.
27:25 The DOH hopes that the government will also subsidize medicines for diabetes,
27:30 hypertension, and other conditions.
27:33 For GMA Integrated News, Marisol Abdurrahman,
27:37 learned 24 hours.
27:40 If you want, there's a way.
27:44 That's the proof that the free college program is now in motion
27:48 where the classrooms themselves will bring the poor community closer.
27:53 And Bernadette Reyes learned.
27:55 Just an ordinary bus at first glance.
28:06 But inside, there are tables, chairs, whiteboard, and TV.
28:09 Welcome to our rolling classroom for today.
28:14 More than four learners can learn at the same time in this converted classroom.
28:21 Aside from being bright, this classroom is also comfortable.
28:24 This is Education on Wheels,
28:29 a program of the Polytechnic University of the Philippines
28:32 that helps students who want to graduate from college.
28:36 For now, it's just one Education on Wheels that goes around different communities.
28:41 Since our university is free education,
28:45 we brought free education to the youth who can't enter the university.
28:53 This also helps for face-to-face interaction of students
28:58 when they don't have to leave.
29:00 Communication is more instant.
29:02 Unlike online, there are connectivity issues sometimes.
29:07 Lilian Rimando has been a volunteer for 50 years
29:11 for the learners of the Education on Wheels program.
29:13 Because she got married early, she wasn't able to become a college teacher.
29:18 I just had time because I also finished my children's education.
29:22 For now, I'm giving myself time
29:27 to gain knowledge and experience educational attainment.
29:34 Eliza doesn't have a regular job,
29:37 so she took the opportunity to study for free.
29:41 It's really hard to give lessons because the number of lessons increases.
29:46 When I finish here, I can give them what I didn't experience at home.
29:53 The things they need when they grow up.
29:56 The program is still on the way to help more people.
30:00 If there are non-governmental organizations who are willing to partner with us,
30:07 they can shoulder the expenses of our operation.
30:14 We can easily help the students who can't study.
30:19 For GMA Integrated News, Bernadette Reyes, Dakatutok, 24 Hours.
30:25 President Bongbong Marcos visited Vietnam to strengthen the relationship.
30:32 The President shared his return to the country.
30:35 He discussed with the President of Vietnam
30:38 about the defense maritime and trade investment.
30:41 They also had exchanges of opinions in the sector of agriculture and maritime cooperation.
30:47 The Prime Minister and National Assembly Chairman of Vietnam
30:51 discussed the strengthening of bilateral relations.
30:55 Business leaders in Vietnam agreed to expand their business in the Philippines.
31:01 The President also greeted the Filipino community in Vietnam.
31:05 My fellow Filipinos, we are getting closer to our country.
31:12 We are monitoring the low pressure area or LPA,
31:15 so the chance of it entering the Philippine Area of Responsibility or PAR is not gone.
31:21 130 kilometers south of General Santos City,
31:25 the LPA is said to be the last to pass.
31:28 According to the expectation, if it continues to enter the PAR,
31:32 it may dissipate or melt in the next few days.
31:36 For now, the LPA's trough or extension in Mindanao will continue to rain.
31:42 The strong winds in Luzon and Visayas are also blowing continuously.
31:47 Aside from the cold weather, especially at night or early in the day,
31:51 the winds are also affecting the people.
31:54 That is why it is still dangerous to sail in the northern part of Southern Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
32:00 Based on the data of Metro Weather,
32:03 it will rain tomorrow morning in Zamboanga Peninsula,
32:06 Northern Mindanao, Caraga, Davao Region and Sotsar Gem.
32:10 By the end of the day, it will rain in almost the entire Mindanao.
32:14 Heavy rains are experienced in many places,
32:17 so be alert to possible flooding or landslide.
32:22 There will also be rain in some parts of Visayas,
32:24 especially in the afternoon, like the Negros Provinces, Cebu, Bohol, Leyte and Samar Provinces.
32:31 The weather in almost the entire Luzon is favorable,
32:34 except for the scattered rains in Aurora, Quezon, Cabarines Norte and Mindoro Provinces.
32:41 In Metro Manila, the chance of rain is low tomorrow,
32:44 but the storm will bring a storm even if the rain is weak.
32:48 Even if some people from Mindanao will be able to pass the law,
32:53 Mindanao has already been declared as a Republic of the Philippines,
32:56 just like the former President Rodrigo Duterte.
33:00 In addition, a former magistrate has no provision in the Constitution to allow such a thing.
33:05 Attention please, Athena Pangaliban Perez and Chino Gaston.
33:09 Many have already advocated the separation of Mindanao from the Philippines.
33:16 This convention was held on April 25, 1986,
33:20 which was led by 500 political, civic and professional leaders in Cagayan de Oro,
33:26 where the Constitution of the so-called Mindanao Federal Republic was discussed.
33:32 In addition, the rebellion of the Moro National Liberation Front that started in 1968
33:37 and ended in the Peace Agreement in 1996,
33:40 and the rebellion of the separated group of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front that started in 1977
33:46 and ended in the Peace Agreement in 2014,
33:50 was brought back to the establishment of the Moro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao
33:54 instead of the original state that was being separated.
33:57 Last night, former President Rodrigo Duterte was the one who initiated the discussion
34:02 in the middle of the controversy surrounding the People's Initiative.
34:05 But the former Supreme Court Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio denied that it was against the Constitution.
34:12 There is no provision in the Constitution that allows the separation of a part of the country from the national territory.
34:19 This is just a slogan, there's nothing. To say that it's against the Constitution,
34:25 that's threatening the integrity of the national territory.
34:28 That's just arrogant. They have been threatening to secede ever since.
34:32 It's been a long time, 20 years ago. But nobody will join them. This is just foolishness.
34:38 Despite the allegations made by some who advocated for secession,
34:42 Mindanao's ability to survive even without the support of the national government
34:46 was not a problem. In 2022, 17% of the total income from products and services in the country, or GDP, came from Mindanao.
34:54 As for the supply of rice, more than 23% of the rice came from Mindanao.
35:00 More than 80% of the rice produced in the Philippines came from Mindanao.
35:07 While more than half of the coconut and corn production came from Mindanao.
35:11 The amount of gold production from Mindanao, which is also obtained from nickel and other minerals, is worth about Php 15 billion.
35:20 According to Davao del Norte 1st District Representative Pantalion Alvarez,
35:25 despite the advocates for the separation of Mindanao, Mindanao has been neglected for a long time.
35:30 So it's time for this to happen.
35:32 Just like what the advocates for the amendment of the Saliga Batas are doing through the People's Initiative.
35:38 It's not easy to do this. It's also difficult because we will do this properly.
35:43 There will be no chaos. Definitely no chaos.
35:47 We will do this. Even if it's difficult to do, we will go around Mindanao
35:55 to explain to all the people of Mindanao why we are doing this and why we will do this.
36:04 We asked some of the advocates from Mindanao about this.
36:08 Some of them are open to discuss this.
36:11 At the point of secession, we will separate.
36:14 Wait a minute. I personally want to study. I want to see if it's really worth it.
36:20 Some of them said that they will not allow this.
36:24 We don't want to separate.
36:26 The last time we checked, according to DBM, one district is worth P51 billion.
36:33 What is there to separate?
36:35 Because you already got P51 billion and you neglected other districts and you didn't take care of them.
36:43 You're only thinking about yourself.
36:46 For Senate President Miguel Zubiri, who was a farmer back then.
36:50 With due respect to the former president,
36:52 I think right now the last thing that we want is for our country to be in chaos and chaos.
36:58 For GMA Integrated News, Tina Panganiban Perez.
37:02 Who will be the one to be elected? 24 Hours.
37:05 The Commission on Elections, COMELEC, decided that there is no additional 5 dollars in its budget.
37:13 It was allocated for the People's Initiative to amend the Constitution.
37:18 Daniel Tincungco will be elected.
37:21 The Commission on Elections, COMELEC, allocated 12 million pesos in the budget.
37:28 But the Commission clarified that it is for the administration of the Commission on Elections and for the preparation for the election of 2025.
37:36 There is no additional 5 dollars for the People's Initiative.
37:41 The process of signing the People's Initiative is in accordance with the Constitution.
37:51 And it stands now that the resolution is still there.
37:54 But we decided to suspend its implementation.
38:00 It is not illegal for them to accept and it is also not illegal for it to remain in the office
38:06 and not be thrown away like Senator I.M. Marcos is pushing.
38:10 We have a liability regarding the documents we are accepting.
38:14 If those who submitted want to get these documents, we will give it with all our heart.
38:22 Because it is very difficult for us to take care of it.
38:26 But if they will not get it, it will not be processed but it will remain in the office of the Commission on Elections.
38:32 The Commission on Elections, COMELEC, is in the process of forming a committee to pass the resolution that will guide the process of the People's Initiative
38:39 that they reduced to no timeline.
38:42 For GMA Integrated News, I am Dan Ating Cucon, for 24 Hours.
38:46 The Senate approved the resolution authorizing Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri
38:53 to pass a petition against the People's Initiative.
38:57 It is in accordance with the resolution given by President Zubiri
39:01 that questions the legality, visas, and irregularities in the signing of the People's Initiative
39:07 to change the Constitution.
39:09 The resolution was also given by the powerful Zubiri
39:13 who is like a judge in the court that is in accordance with it.
39:17 The President's statement was made by Vice President Sara Duterte
39:25 in the midst of the words of her former President Rodrigo Duterte and his brothers.
39:32 I have respect for the views and opinions of the former President Rodrigo Duterte
39:38 and my brothers.
39:40 But just like my position on many issues,
39:44 I do not need to agree with all of these.
39:48 In addition to the allegations of his father,
39:51 the allegations of drug trafficking that was against President Bongbong Marcos,
39:54 he will not be allowed to do so.
39:56 The Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency also denied
39:59 the allegations of the former President that is on its drug watch list, President Marcos.
40:04 Dapao City Mayor Baste Duterte called for the President to resign
40:08 but he apologized for what he did.
40:11 According to the Senator, Marcos did it.
40:13 Meanwhile, the Vice President thanked President Marcos for his continued trust in him.
40:18 Marcos said that he has no plans to change his visa as the Education Secretary.

40:28 Jeneline Mercado is grateful because she can see the hardships that fans are going through
40:33 for the GMA Prime Series Love, Die, Repeat.
40:37 And in the middle of the scene, she wants to make a small project.
40:41 Nelson Canlas will check on her dream of collaborating.
40:45 [music]
40:48 [gunshots]
40:52 [explosion]
40:53 It seems that Angela's character was saved by the ultimate star Jeneline Mercado,
40:59 Bernard's wife, who is being haunted by Sian Lim in the repeated accidents.
41:05 [music]
41:09 She was not saved from Elton's obsession, played by Mike Tan,
41:14 who was abandoned and hid by Angela in an abandoned place.
41:18 [gunshots]
41:21 Bernard was shot.
41:23 [gunshots]
41:26 Angela was still saved from the danger.
41:29 [gunshots]
41:30 That scene is just one of the many stories,
41:33 so the ratings of the GMA Prime Series Love, Die, Repeat are not that high.
41:39 And Jen is thankful because she can see the hardships of the series.
41:46 I'm happy that people are working hard to hashtag the people who support and watch Love, Die, Repeat.
41:53 And I'm happy that they are watching it every night.
41:57 I'm also thankful because our characters are not just for fun.
42:02 So I'm thankful for those who watch it every night.
42:06 Jen admitted that Angela's role is one of the most challenging in her work.
42:11 So when she joined the GMA Integrated News Interviews, she shared the good news to the fans.
42:18 She will make a rom-com film that is like a journey in the heavy of Love, Die, Repeat.
42:24 I missed it because from this project that is not that heavy and challenging,
42:31 I want to enjoy and relax.
42:35 As of now, Jen's dream co-love is...
42:38 I hope Dennis can work with me in a movie.
42:40 But while they are not working, they will talk to their family about their favorite bonding.
42:47 We will watch a movie or a series.
42:54 After that, we will play with Dylan.
42:59 He is a bit of a pervert. He doesn't walk anymore. He always runs and climbs.
43:05 That's how he plays now. So we need to be extra careful and extra learned.
43:12 Extra taken care of.
43:13 Not only hands-on, Jen is also disciplinary to her children.
43:17 In the family, there is a bad cop and a good cop.
43:21 But it's important because that will be their foundation.
43:28 How you will raise them, they will be disciplined while growing up.
43:32 And the question is, will she allow the cute and lively son to join the showbiz?
43:38 For me, as a parent, if I think about the difficulties of showbiz, I don't want to.
43:48 But if she can make a decision when the right day comes, that's what she really wants to do,
43:55 I'm here to support her.
