NewsTranscript
00:00The happy vacation of the couple returned to Bangungut from Antipolo, Rizal,
00:06because the couple drowned in the Dinarayong Depth Pool in Pangasinan.
00:10Russell Cimorio of GMA Regional TV One North, Central Luzon reported.
00:18It took four hours for the couple's body to be found
00:22at the beach of Barangay Baruan in Agno, Pangasinan.
00:26On Saturday, the couple arrived at a beach resort in the neighboring town of Burgos
00:30from Antipolo, Rizal.
00:33The couple walked until they reached the Depth Pool in Agno,
00:39which is called Dinarayong because it looks like a natural pool.
00:42It is a rock formation that is 20 feet deep when it is filled with water.
00:47The couple drowned in the deep part because of the strong waves.
00:52According to the police, the couple's mister drowned, but he also drowned.
00:58He saw his wife who fell into the sea.
01:01He rushed to rescue her.
01:04But because of the bad weather, the waves were very strong that day.
01:08So they both drowned.
01:10We are still trying to get the relatives of the victims.
01:15According to the police.
01:17According to the son, he can swim.
01:20The problem is the strong winds and the strong waves.
01:23It is really unbearable.
01:25The authorities continue to remind the beachgoers to be careful of the strong waves,
01:31especially if the wind is blowing strongly.
01:34For GMA Regional TV and GMA Integrated News,
01:38Russell Simoryon, Nakatutok, 24 Hours.
01:43Following the acquittal of all drug cases filed against him,
01:48the past experiences of former Senator Laila Dilima
01:52in more than 7 years of trial of the cases she faced in the trial of Ivan Mayrina.
02:00Dilima, you are finished.
02:04In August 2016, the former President Rodrigo Duterte and former Senator Laila Dilima
02:09agreed to receive money from the drug sales in the Philippines.
02:13Arrest me now.
02:16If that is what you really want, then arrest me now.
02:20Until she was charged with illegal trading, which later became a conspiracy to trade illegal drugs.
02:25I am here in the Senate, waiting for the arresting team.
02:34Since then, Dilima's accusations were made up.
02:45Some are now accusing Dilima of all the drug cases she faced.
02:51The cases were called politically motivated by the U.S. State Department.
02:55At the same time, the Philippines was able to resolve similar cases.
02:59The Amnesty International group has an issue with the Marcos Administration.
03:03It should investigate the people behind the baseless allegations against Dilima
03:08that led to her imprisonment.
03:10The Marcos Administration has no direct connection with the U.S. State Department and Amnesty International.
03:16Three cases were filed against Dilima.
03:19All of them are accusing her of illegal drugs in the Philippines
03:23and using drug money to use in her run for the Senate in 2016.
03:28But after seven years of cases, one by one, Dilima was acquitted.
03:33One of the accused is the next witness of the prosecution.
03:40The former Bureau of Corrections OIC Rafael Ragos was one of them.
03:43He was the first to say that he brought drug money to Dilima's house.
03:47I was just coerced.
03:48The person who coerced me was Secretary Aguirre and his companies.
03:56Ragos denied this allegation to former Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre,
04:00who was involved in the cases against Dilima.
04:03Now that the former senator has been acquitted in three cases,
04:07Aguirre said that he was already expecting this.
04:10He was also happy with what happened because Dilima has been in jail for a long time.
04:14But the Inuit Presidential Council Salvador Panelo reminded that as a reaction to the acquittal,
04:19the imprisonment of Dilima is also a punishment.
04:22When Dilima accused Duterte of being behind the extrajudicial killings in Davao City,
04:27this was when the Commission on Human Rights appointed Dilima and the former president as mayor.
04:32Panelo also acknowledged the court's appreciation for the victims of the witnesses
04:37who won against the jurisprudence.
04:39That's why the dismissal of the case was a mistake.
04:42The court's decision was respected by Senator Bato de la Rosa,
04:46who was the chief of the PNP when Dilima was accused and the Duterte drug war was implemented.
04:51For GMA Integrated News, Ivan Mejrina for 24 Hours.
04:57According to what former senator Laila Dilima said,
05:00GMA Integrated News is still trying to get hold of the former president Rodrigo Duterte.
05:07It was an intentional and unavoidable accident.
05:11That's what the soldier who was cut off his finger
05:15during the last resupply mission to Iungin Shoal was accused of.
05:21Jun Veneracion was the target.
05:28The ship that was hit by the first-class underwater operator Jeffrey Facundo
05:33was still visible in front of the Senate's investigation
05:37regarding the violent incident in Iungin Shoal on June 17,
05:40where he was cut off his finger.
05:44The enemy's rig, ma'am, here on the left.
05:47It went up, ma'am. It went up to our rig.
05:52Then his kill, the one below, the sharp one.
05:56This rig.
05:57The one where I fell, he also fell there, ma'am.
06:01He also went out there.
06:03The very kill, the...
06:05The sharp one below.
06:07The sharp one. That's the one that hit you?
06:09Yes, ma'am.
06:10After being hurt by the chaos that started around 8 a.m.,
06:14Facundo boarded the BRP Sierra Madre.
06:17He tried to escape to the Philippine Coast Guard ship
06:20but they were blocked by China.
06:23Despite the violent action of China,
06:25they tried to avoid making a move that could endanger the situation.
06:30We were told, ma'am, that there will be an engagement
06:35and that we will be shot if we are shot.
06:38So if you used the shot,
06:44it won't explode.
06:46So you won't really be shot?
06:48Yes, ma'am.
06:49At 12 p.m., or more than 15 hours after the chaos started in Ayungin Shoal,
06:55the medical evacuation for Facundo started.
06:59Senator Aimee Marcos asked,
07:01is it considered an accident?
07:04It's not called an accident, ma'am.
07:07It's intentional, ma'am.
07:09Okay.
07:10The hole is intentional.
07:14A diplomatic protest was held by the Department of Foreign Affairs of the Philippines
07:18against China.
07:20Sir, have we already joined the embassy of China?
07:25After the incident?
07:27After the incident, have we already joined?
07:29We already talked about it.
07:31We already protested the incident.
07:33A diplomatic protest, sir?
07:34Yes.
07:35When did you protest, sir?
07:36Last week, ma'am.
07:37Last week as well.
07:39The DFA is still trying to talk to China.
07:43We still believe that it's the primacy of dialogue.
07:46And we have been working hard to bring back China to the table to talk with us.
07:52Despite one of the most serious incidents in Ayungin Shoal,
07:55the Defense Department of the Philippines insisted
07:58that it is not ready to talk to their Chinese counterpart.
08:02Would it not be wiser and more prudent to simply talk to them even on an informal basis?
08:07No, ma'am.
08:08Because they have a tendency of using the talks against us.
08:12They have not proven a level of good faith
08:16that would warrant our sensitive department to talk to them.
08:21For GMA Integrated News, I'm Jon Van Arsion.
08:24For 24 Hours.
08:26Almost 4,000 people are being serviced by Manila in Caloocan
08:30who will receive a return payment.
08:33That is part of the more than 2 million pesos fine imposed on them
08:37for supplying low-quality water.
08:40Maki Polido was there.
08:45Usually, Josephine's water bill is around 1,600 pesos.
08:49But due to the rebate or return payment of Manila,
08:52it will be reduced by more than 500 pesos next month.
08:55It can also help somehow.
08:58It's also 500 pesos. It's hard to earn 500 pesos.
09:01Josephine is one of almost 4,000 Manila customers in Caloocan who will receive a rebate.
09:06That is part of the more than 2 million pesos fine imposed on Manila
09:10by the MWSS Regulatory Office.
09:13The Philippine National Standard for Drinking Water
09:17was supplied by Tubig Ripo in some parts of Caloocan
09:20from November 29 to December 19, 2023.
09:23It is based on random sampling in the area
09:25where the total coliform level is high from one sampling site.
09:30However, there is no fecal coliform or bacteria from human or animal dung in the samples.
09:35The total coliform is only present in our environment,
09:38in the vegetation, in the soil.
09:40And they are generally harmless.
09:43If the fecal coliform is negative, your water is safe to drink.
09:46Even if the fecal coliform is zero and there is no disease,
09:49it is still harmful to the public's health.
09:51That is why Manila was fined.
09:53If we penalize them for just any deviation,
09:55concessionaires will be more vigilant.
09:59Because they don't want to be penalized.
10:01According to Manila, it is possible that their water was contaminated
10:04by the loss of water pressure due to maintenance.
10:07The water sampling sites that they monitor every day have already passed.
10:11That's when we saw the failure or compliance in our water sampling.
10:17We immediately did something about it.
10:20In a public dialogue tomorrow,
10:22the MWSSRO will announce rebates to some customers of Manila in Imus, Cavite.
10:28The water pressure there is lower than the normal chlorine level
10:32that kills bacteria.
10:34Despite this, the MWSSRO insists that water concessionaires should drink their water safely.
10:40For GMA Integrated News, Mackie Pulido, 24 Hours.
10:45The camera will invite former President Duterte and Senator Bato de la Rosa
10:50for their investigation on the Duterte drug war.
10:53According to a congressman,
10:54it is good that he will be able to answer the weak victims.
10:58Tina Panganiban-Perez is on the camera.
11:03If possible, the former President Rodrigo Duterte
11:07and Senator Laila de Lima
11:09and Senator Bato de la Rosa
11:11will be invited for their investigation.
11:13That is if the former President and former PNP chief
11:16give an invitation for the investigation of the camera on the Duterte drug war in the coming days.
11:21Before this, the two were just informed about the scheduled hearing today
11:26and it is not required to go.
11:29The committee will also invite De Lima,
11:31who started investigating extrajudicial killings
11:34when he was the chairperson of the Commission on Human Rights.
11:39To give courtesy to the former President and Senator Bato de la Rosa
11:49because of the gravity of the testimonies of these victims.
11:53The former President would look into his own heart
11:56and realize what he has done in the past six years.
12:00Together with those who believe that the former President is involved,
12:04he is the son of a woman who was killed in anti-drugs operations
12:07in Bagong Silang, Caloocan on September 27, 2016.
12:12Four policemen shot at their house and shot at his father.
12:17But his name was not mentioned.
12:19He was shouting, ouch, ouch.
12:23He asked for help.
12:26We have nothing to do with his children.
12:29We are very scared.
12:31We are very scared.
12:40We heard a lot of gunshots.
12:44As far as I know, they went to the wrong house
12:47because they were looking for their names.
12:50The 15-year-old daughter of Emily Soriano,
12:53who was also involved in anti-drugs operations in the same barangay,
12:57and two other minors and a pregnant woman were also involved.
13:01My son is not an addict.
13:05The police said that my son suffered collateral damage.
13:11Raquel Lopez, who showed the picture of her son who was also killed in anti-drugs operations,
13:18was arrested in Cebu in 2018.
13:22My son is a poor man, Your Honor.
13:24My son is a good man.
13:27It means that he is not involved in any drug trade.
13:34No, no, Your Honor.
13:37From our legal analysis, Your Honor,
13:40President Duterte, we filed a complaint,
13:44a communication before the International Criminal Court,
13:47indicting him as the most responsible for crimes against humanity.
13:52We are still investigating the former president and Dela Rosa,
13:56but they still have no evidence.
13:58For GMA Integrated News,
14:00Tina Panganiban Perez,
14:02Nakatutok, 24 Hours.
14:06The ombudsman charged Mayor Alice Guo
14:10with six months of preventive suspension.
14:13And if he goes abroad,
14:15he will be blocked by immigration
14:17to find out if he can still leave the country.
14:20Nakatutok, Salima Refran.
14:25If he tries to leave the country,
14:28he will be blocked by immigration by suspended Bambantarlak Mayor Alice Guo.
14:32This is in violation of the Immigration Lookout Bulletin Order against him
14:36and his sister, Wesley,
14:38where they still have no proof.
14:40The order is also included,
14:42but the former Technology and Resource Center official,
14:45Dennis Conanan,
14:46has yet to receive a statement
14:48regarding the Bamban and Porak pogos.
14:51The order also includes 15 other respondents of Guo
14:55in the complaint of Qualified Human Trafficking
14:57as business partners.
14:59Immigration must check
15:01if there is a freshly issued warrant of arrest,
15:05hold departure order,
15:07or any kind of order
15:08to scrutinize their documentation.
15:11Respondents added
15:13that the PNP-CIDG and PAOC filed a Human Trafficking Complaint,
15:17but they refused to state who these people are.
15:20Meanwhile, the ombudsman
15:22dismissed Guo's appeal
15:23for six months of preventive suspension against him.
15:26The ombudsman said there is sufficient evidence
15:29to say that there is strong evidence
15:31against Guo and two other suspended people.
15:34Guo's business interests cannot be denied
15:37based on the collected documents
15:39and the fact that the pogos was operated in Bamban
15:41because of the permit he and the municipality gave.
15:44Guo's position is still in doubt
15:47and there are two other people
15:49who are possible witnesses and documents in the case.
15:52Guo's camp has already received the order
15:55that it is saddening.
16:03For GMA Integrated News,
16:05I'm Mara Fran,
16:06for Tutok 24 Horas.
16:12Getting ready now
16:13for the upcoming GMA Gala 2024,
16:15the star of the new gen, Jillian Ward.
16:18She also has a mini-spoiler
16:19for those who are betting on their dreams.
16:22Let's talk to Lars Santiago.
16:27From her stunning black gown in 2022
16:31to ocean wave-inspired gown last year,
16:34Jillian Ward will not be last
16:37in the upcoming GMA Gala next month.
16:40That's why she's already prepared.
16:43She's thinking carefully
16:46not only the color of her clothes
16:48but also the overall look.
16:51I'm looking for ideas
16:54for what I can wear.
16:56I really like to dress up.
16:58I like to be colorful.
17:01Zoey!
17:02Zoey, don't go with Docs!
17:04For now,
17:05Jillian is just continuing her work.
17:08The story of her dream
17:10is getting more intense.
17:15Will Zoey and Annalyn really meet?
17:18Or what will happen to them?
17:21And of course,
17:23what will Zoey do now
17:25because Ma'am Moira is gone,
17:27Docs is gone.
17:28Jillian is very excited.
17:31There will be a character
17:33in the upcoming GMA Gala.
17:35But it's still a secret
17:37to them
17:39what will be her role.
17:42I'm not sure what her character will be
17:44or who she is,
17:46if she's a girl or a boy.
17:47I'm very excited
17:49because the last one to join us
17:51is Ms. Pilar as Madam Chantal
17:53who is making life difficult for Annalyn.
17:56I hope someone will come
17:58to make Annalyn's life easier.
18:01After the GMA Gala,
18:03Jillian will prepare
18:05for their Sparkle Tour in Japan
18:08where the star of the new gen
18:11will be with her co-star, Ken Chan.
18:14Also, Naruro Madrid and Bianca Umali
18:17and Juliana Sanuse and Raver Cruz.
18:21LAR Santiago updated!
18:25Shishudes happening!
