00:14 Good morning. Here are the first news of GMA Integrated News.

00:18 [News reporter speaking in Tagalog]

00:42 [Music]

00:46 In the midst of the conversations of former President Rodrigo Duterte and President Bongbong Marcos,

00:52 the former police officer has a secret and introduced the member of the original Davao death squad, Arturo Lascañas.

01:00 [Arturo Lascañas speaking in Tagalog]

01:29 After years of silence, Lascañas appeared in the media from a remote place outside the country,

01:36 where the pre-trial investigation of him by the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court was completed.

01:43 He filed 186 pages of affidavit and was given a notebook that contains all the information about the murders commanded by former President Duterte.

01:56 It was allegations against his children, Vice President Sara and Congressman Pulong Duterte.

02:03 The Office of the Prosecutor accepted it as a exhibit.

02:08 I made a graph about the duties in the Anti-Crime Task Force, King's Clan Task Force,

02:22 and when Sara Duterte became mayor.

02:28 According to Lascañas, following the media's accusations of the riding in tandem in Davao City,

02:34 where people were killed and no one was investigating,

02:38 Sara Duterte accused the former Davao City Mayor, Oplan Tukhang.

02:43 She really invented a new trademark of extrajudicial killings in the name of Tukhang.

02:51 She allowed police colonel Ronald Batul de la Rosa to impose this in Davao City.

03:00 Many people died here and many are missing.

03:04 Did Sara Duterte investigate? No.

03:08 Did the Davao City Council investigate? No.

03:11 Did the Commission on Human Rights investigate? No.

03:15 Lascañas was asked how many people she thought were killed in Tukhang in Davao City.

03:21 In my estimation, there are more or less 3,000.

03:29 But the total damage or the missing people in Davao City, more or less 10,000.

03:37 It's still different from the people who were killed in the expanded Tukhang in Davao City.

03:42 GMA Integrated News is trying to get a hold of Vice President Duterte on what Lascañas said.

03:49 But she said that she sometimes doesn't mention her name in the Davao Death Squad

03:56 in the years when she served as Vice Mayor and Mayor of Davao City.

04:01 But when she was elected as Vice Mayor,

04:04 there was a witness against her and she was already with the accused in the ICC.

04:11 She said that she doesn't need the death squad for the things that she can do.

04:17 She's ready to face any accusation against her,

04:20 but she will only face a Filipino judge and a Filipino court.

04:26 Lascañas added allegations against former President Duterte.

04:31 Will the Shabu Laboratories in Davao Region be held?

04:36 What did you do? You're a drug lord.

04:41 He's killing our group of 11 Chinese workers,

04:46 the in-chemist of the Shabu Laboratories in Davao and the workers of Barangay Obreo.

04:52 Mayor Duterte is in charge of Southern Mindanao, of the Shabu Laboratories.

05:00 The former president's collection of guns is not just 300,

05:05 but he has a supplier of it.

05:07 Mayor Duterte's collection of guns is more than 1,000.

05:14 It came from Kibuloy.

05:16 GMA Integrated News is also trying to get hold of the former president Duterte.

05:22 But he has been denying allegations that he has a Shabu Laboratory.

05:26 In addition to the allegations that he has a lot of guns,

05:30 he also has a lot of other guns.

05:35 I don't have unregistered guns in my house.

05:40 It's a collector's item. It's allowed by law.

05:43 How can you use it against me

05:47 when the practice of giving a collector's license is allowed by law?

05:53 Senator Bato de la Rosa, who was the Davao City Police Chief back then,

05:59 is also the former mayor and former president Duterte.

06:02 They are among those who gave orders to the Davao Death Squad.

06:06 For the death squad to be sure,

06:09 Bongo is getting personal identification data.

06:13 This is complete with details of where the target lives,

06:17 what vehicle he is using and what color the vehicle is.

06:23 If you let him go, he will leave.

06:26 As long as he is clean, he will be fine.

06:29 We are also trying to get hold of the statement of G.O. Kibuloy

06:33 and other allegations of Les Canas.

06:37 This is the first news in five paragraphs for GMA Integrated News.

06:42 The Senate will bring the investigation to Davao City tomorrow

06:46 on the purchase of signatures for the People's Initiative

06:49 and who are the politicians involved in this.

06:51 Senator Aimee Marcos questioned the continued protection of the Comelec

06:55 from the collected signatures.

06:57 Here's the first news, Sandra Aguinaldo.

06:59 According to the group of signatures,

07:02 they are continuing to collect signatures to amend the Constitution

07:06 through the People's Initiative.

07:09 The signatures collected from the Comelec can be used.

07:13 Senator Aimee Marcos questioned the continued protection of the Comelec

07:17 from the signatures they received.

07:19 Throw away those signatures and let's start right.

07:24 The Senate will continue its investigation

07:27 on the congressmen behind the collection of signatures

07:30 and if there is a change in money or favor.

07:33 The hearing will be held on Friday in Davao City,

07:37 which is considered a baluarte of the Dutertes.

07:40 Not only Davao, because some of the farmers there, like Gende Oro,

07:44 it's hard if they have a lot of farmers, like Senator Bato said,

07:48 that there are a lot, almost a thousand.

07:50 I sent someone today, to be honest, from the Senate

07:54 to go around the places where the witnesses were sworn in

07:59 and to know who is ready to face the hearing.

08:02 He was invited but he said that he's still abroad.

08:06 Attorney Anthony Abad is the name given to the forms being signed.

08:11 The Senator is also closed in her conversation with her cousin,

08:15 House Speaker Martin Romualdez,

08:18 who said that he's open to the meaningful discussions between the two.

08:23 Finish the P.I. otherwise it has no meaning whatsoever.

08:28 The problem is, the administration that is there,

08:32 that has our name, Marcos Administration, is the one that is being destroyed.

08:39 The unity team is also closed in, said the Senator.

08:43 In my opinion, the unity team has a right,

08:49 it's a need to be united, but in my opinion,

08:55 the principals are not to be confused.

08:59 The ones who are confused are the ones who are on the side,

09:02 the demons and the ghosts in the palace.

09:06 Said Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri,

09:09 the Senate will continue the discussion on the resolution of both houses, number 6.

09:15 We're going to create a subcommittee, we're going to set up a subcommittee on that.

09:19 By next week, she will start her hearings on the R-86.

09:23 We want to lower the temperature of politics in our country,

09:30 that's why we're back to work here in the Senate.

09:33 This is the first news, Sandra Aguinaldo for GMA Integrated News.

09:39 The bad times are still continuing in other parts of Davao region.

09:44 Some trees were destroyed and fell down due to heavy rains.

09:50 Here is the first news.

09:52 There's no land.

09:56 The land was destroyed.

10:02 Continuous rains.

10:04 Flooding.

10:09 That's what's still happening in other parts of Davao region.

10:13 Davao de Oro was hit, residents fled.

10:16 Even though the water is high, they are still helping to move to higher areas.

10:21 In some streets in Davao City,

10:23 there are fewer cars passing due to the high water level.

10:28 In Davao Oriental, some trees were destroyed.

10:31 This tree was caught in the city of Manay.

10:34 The tree also took part of the city of Governor Generoso.

10:38 Because of that, 10 barangays in the city were isolated and residents were stranded.

10:42 In other barangays in the city,

10:45 some residents were forced to quickly water the hills of Lubin.

10:49 In Carraga Davao Oriental,

10:51 motorists were forced to climb the trees on the road due to landslides.

10:56 In the city, two people were lost after the landslide.

11:01 In the city of Lupon, some trees fell.

11:04 A car was hit while traveling.

11:07 Its passengers were saved.

11:09 Clearing operations are being carried out in the area.

11:12 According to the local media,

11:13 a trough of low-pressure area outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility is flooding the region.

11:19 This is the first news.

11:20 Bam Alagre for GMA Integrated News.

11:23 Despite the increase in the price of fish and fish in Tilapia,

11:26 in some families in Metro Manila,

11:27 the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources assured that the price is still stable.

11:32 The fish supply is sufficient according to the agency.

11:35 According to their latest monitoring,

11:37 the price of a kilo of medium-sized fish from Bulacan and Pangasinan is Php 180.

11:43 The price of medium-sized Tilapia from Batangas and Bampanga is Php 120 per kilo.

11:50 The price of Tilapia from Php 90 to Php 93 per kilo is also decreasing.

11:56 It is now Php 85 to Php 88 per kilo.

11:59 The price of Php 130 to Php 140 per kilo is the new price.

12:05 The agency explained that the price difference is possible

12:08 depending on the amount of supply and the type of fish to be purchased.

12:12 The increase in the supply of Galunggong in Luzon is expected

12:15 after the fishing season in Palawan yesterday.

12:19 The government's debt to the Philippines is a new record high after the end of 2023.

12:25 According to the Bureau of Treasury, the country's debt is now Php 14.62 trillion.

12:31 It is higher by 8.92 percent or equivalent to Php 1.2 trillion compared to Php 13.18 trillion in 2022.

12:41 According to Finance Secretary Ralph Recto, it is still at a comfortable level.

12:46 If we consider the country's economic recovery,

12:50 the debt to gross domestic product ratio in the country is at 60.2 percent in 2023,

12:58 which is better compared to the 60.9 GDP in 2022.

13:04 In the middle of the next episode, former President Rodrigo Duterte to President Bongbong Marcos.

13:12 Vice President Sara Duterte thanked the President for his trust in him

13:16 to remain as the Secretary of the Department of Education.

13:19 I also thank Apo BBM for his courtesy to my constituents.

13:26 I have respect for the views and opinions of former President Rodrigo Duterte,

13:32 as well as my brothers and sisters.

13:34 But just like my position on many issues,

13:38 I don't need to be biased with all of them.

13:42 Vice President Duterte is proud of his loyalty to the country.

13:46 He was remembered in a prayer rally in Davao City last Sunday.

13:50 Former President Rodrigo Duterte accused President Marcos of using illegal drugs

13:56 and was on the watch list of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency or PDEA.

14:00 PDEA rejected the accusation.

14:02 Davao City Mayor Baste Duterte called on the President to resign.

14:08 Senator Amy Marcos apologized to Mayor Duterte for his statement.

14:15 A new career high for Philippine tennis star Alex Ayala.

14:26 From 187th, he climbed to 184th in the Women's Tennis Association.

14:33 Ayala has now collected 419 points.

14:38 From 25 tournaments he has participated in,

14:41 he has recently become the champion in the doubles division of the W5-0 tournament.

14:47 In India, he is with his partner Daria Seministaya from Tavia.

14:53 Thousands of jobs are waiting for the Filipinos in Israel.

15:03 But the new OFWs have not been deployed there yet.

15:07 Israel is still under Alert Level 2.

15:09 Here is the first news of Rafi Tima.

15:12 The war broke out after the Hamas group attacked Israel.

15:19 More than 400 OFWs volunteered to return to the Philippines

15:23 from more than 30,000 Filipinos working there.

15:27 The Israeli government estimated that 10,000 foreign workers

15:31 working in Israel left because of the war.

15:34 This added to the thousands of jobs that the Palestinians were doing.

15:39 Because we do not allow now the Palestinians who used to work in Israel from Gaza,

15:43 20,000, they cannot come into Israel, it's a war zone.

15:47 And much less are coming from the West Bank.

15:50 We are seeking globally to bring more workers to Israel

15:53 and we are offering the same thing also to the Philippines.

15:56 But it depends on the Philippine government.

15:58 The problem is that Israel is under Alert Level 2,

16:01 so the deployment of new OFWs is prohibited.

16:04 The Israelis and the Filipinos want to get vacancies.

16:10 The sentiment is even stronger.

16:12 Meaning, even before October 7, Israelis prefer to have as caregivers Filipinos.

16:21 Israelis very much like Filipinos, you know, English speaking,

16:26 Filipinos are the kindest people in the world.

16:29 Aside from the caregivers, there are many vacancies in the sector of hotel industry,

16:33 agriculture and construction.

16:35 We asked for the reaction of the DMW and DFA, but they have not yet agreed

16:39 on when the Alert Level 2 status of Israel can be lifted.

16:42 According to the DOLE, even if the labor force of the country remains in the country,

16:46 thousands of job vacancies in Israel are a big deal.

16:50 Any additional job, especially the 20,000,

16:53 it's a big part that will be available to our countrymen.

16:59 This is the first news. Rafi Tima for GMA Integrated News.

17:04 The government of Mindanao is discussing a separation after the former President Rodrigo Duterte's speech.

17:14 I know that my fellow countrymen, let's be united.

17:21 If you want, we are one Mindanao.

17:25 Let's go through the legal process.

17:28 There is such thing as a body that would hear your petition to secede.

17:37 It will survey and then pre-visit.

17:45 It's time for the meeting to take place, said the representative of the North First District, Pantaleon Alvarez.

17:53 Mindanao has been neglected for a long time. They will pass this through a signature campaign.

17:59 But the former Supreme Court Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio said that this is against the Constitution.

18:06 There is no provision in the Constitution that allows a part of the country to secede.

18:12 The law from Mindanao is also in accordance with this.

18:17 Congressman Rufus Rodriguez said that Mindanao's need is not independence but support.

18:23 Senate President Juan Miguel Sobirina, a former member of the House of Representatives, said that it would not be good if the Philippines would be divided.

18:31 Senate Minority Leader Coco Pimentel, a former member of the House of Representatives, also agreed with this.

18:37 Tomorrow, some lawmakers will discuss this, like Surigao del Norte's representative, Robert Ace Barbers.

18:46 The Philippine National Oil Company should be strengthened, said the former Energy Undersecretary Eduardo Manalac.

18:52 For now, it is not fully utilized.

18:55 It can be used to extract the natural resources that are possible under the West Philippine Sea.

19:02 The Department of Energy has not yet agreed to this.

19:05 The National Task Force on the West Philippine Sea and Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, or BEFAR,

19:11 is planning to build a gas field there, like Malampaya Gas Field.

19:16 An international defense and security analyst is worried that China will be affected if the Philippines starts its oil and gas exploration.

19:26 According to the Chinese embassy, their position is that the Philippines and China should do joint exploration.

19:36 The GMA Network Inc., GMA Capuso Foundation Inc., was awarded the 59th Anvil Award by the Public Relations Society of the Philippines, or PRSP.

19:46 It is not the GMA Capuso Foundation's Silver Anvil Award in the PR Tools Publication category for the GMA Capuso Foundation Annual Report 2022.

19:57 The GMA Network was also awarded the Silver Anvil Award for the PR campaign "Baguing Alisto, Wag Magpaloko."

20:05 The Anvil Awards are the Oscars of Public Relations in the country.

20:10 It is the most prestigious PR campaigns and tools of companies, PR agencies, organizations and institutions.

20:20 In evacuation centers, residents were evacuated last night and were burned in Recto, Manila yesterday.

20:28 Others were on the streets.

20:30 From Manila, we have the first news, Darling Guide.

20:35 Darling?

20:36 Ivan, more than 300 families were evacuated because of the fire here in Barangay 310 in Recto, Manila.

20:47 Some of them are here on the side of the road while it is still burning because the covered port is full.

20:58 Mother Victoria was surprised by the fast-growing and spreading fire in the houses here in Barangay 310, Recto, Manila yesterday.

21:06 I just remembered that yesterday, the fire was already spreading.

21:10 I went inside our house, I took my grandson and my daughter, one of them, and we went outside.

21:19 I told my daughter that I will just get my clothes. She didn't let me in because the fire was already big.

21:26 They were easily evacuated so they were not able to save any equipment.

21:30 Last night at 3 p.m., the fire was already spreading.

21:33 It took more than 4 hours before the fire was completely extinguished.

21:38 For now, Mother Victoria is with the families who are temporarily staying in the modular tents set up on the side of Recto Avenue.

21:47 We were asked to stay in the barangay. It was too hot.

21:52 We decided to stay outside because it was okay. We were given a tent.

21:58 We just don't want to get wet when it rains.

22:02 More than 300 families were burned here in the covered port of Barangay 310.

22:07 They also have modular tents.

22:10 According to Mother Alona, she still cannot believe what happened to them.

22:16 I don't know what to think, ma'am.

22:18 I'm crying because we don't have any equipment.

22:21 We don't have anything. We don't have money.

22:24 It's said that it's hard to stay here in the evacuation center.

22:27 But they can't do anything if they don't endure.

22:31 It's really hard, ma'am, because you're not used to this.

22:33 I can't sleep. I can't sleep anywhere else.

22:37 According to the Manila Department of Social Welfare, they fed the residents.

22:43 They are also asking each other to know what can be done to help them.

22:49 We asked for help to be able to return home.

22:54 I hope they will give us what we need here,

23:00 like blankets, clothes, medicine, and food.

23:09 Because we don't have anything to eat.

23:16 The power line was affected by the fire.

23:20 That's why some houses and establishments along Recto Avenue still don't have electricity.

23:27 Meanwhile, yesterday, the operation of Recto Station was affected by LRT2.

23:32 Now, it's back to normal.

23:34 Passengers can continue to ride.
