00:00We will all be together in Saksi!
00:14My fellow countrymen, before Saksi, the detention facility in the Senate is ready for Mayor Alice Guo in case the Mayor is arrested or suspended, according to Senate President Chis Escudero.
00:24According to Mayor Guo's lawyer, his client is already thinking about when and how he will submit to the Senate.
00:30Saksi, this is Darlene Kai.
00:35These class pictures are from 2000 to 2003, taken at Grace Christian High School in Quezon City, now known as Grace Christian College.
00:41And according to some former students, a child in the pictures is called Wa Ping with the last name Guo.
00:49This is him when he was in Grade 1, Grade 2, and Grade 3.
00:52According to Senator Sherwin Gatchalian in the last hearing of the Senate,
00:56when the school records and alien certificate of registration were released,
01:00which Guo used for enrolling, Guo also passed a birth certificate from China.
01:06I talked to two of Guo's classmates on the condition that they will hide their identity for their security.
01:12One of them is a former seatmate of the Mayor.
01:15I suddenly remembered that I have a classmate named Wa Ping in Grade 2.
01:20When I got home, I searched our class picture.
01:24And it seems like there is a resemblance.
01:28In Wa Ping's appearance, he is older than them.
01:31He is a few years, three years, four years older.
01:34He is also one of the tallest girls.
01:37Aside from his height, he is more mature compared to our class.
01:40It is also difficult for classmates to speak Tagalog and English, but he is fluent in Chinese.
01:44His Chinese accent was thicker before compared to now that he can speak Tagalog.
01:50But when I remembered, it was very rough.
01:54As I got older, I talked to him.
01:56It seems like our picture has no resemblance.
02:00One of my classmates confirmed the pictures.
02:03One time, I was scrolling on Facebook.
02:05I said, why does it seem familiar?
02:07I searched my class pictures of Grade 1, Grade 2, and Grade 3 at home.
02:12I even hid it.
02:14And I saw the same picture.
02:17I saw that he is my classmate in Grade 1.
02:20I also checked my other class pictures.
02:24He is also my classmate in Grade 2.
02:26We tried to go to Grace Christian College, but we were not allowed to enter the gate of the village.
02:31They are still not responding to our email and message.
02:34According to Senate President Cheese Escudero,
02:38Goh's detention facility is ready.
02:40It's time for him to be arrested or suspended.
02:42The same goes for those who are under arrest order.
02:44There are air conditioning, bunk beds, and right next to the PNP office in the Senate.
02:48His classmates can also be with Mayor Goh.
02:51It's a detention facility.
02:53It's a room, air-conditioned, with its own restroom, with bunk beds, right next to the PNP.
02:58I inspected it earlier.
02:59In order to ensure the safety of Mayor Goh,
03:02we are keeping his classmates there.
03:07Nancy Gamo is in a good condition.
03:09Goh's accountant is saying that he will be arrested this weekend.
03:13According to Escudero, Goh can be asked to be released when he is arrested or suspended.
03:18But that is only if Senator Risa Hontiveros' committee allows it.
03:22If she can convince the committee, Senator Risa,
03:25that this is just a coincidence, but I will attend, I promise.
03:30I am a mayor. You can release me on my own recognizance.
03:33I know the community.
03:35If the committee allows it, there is no reason for me not to allow it.
03:39According to Goh's lawyer, the mayor is still in the Philippines.
03:43She is contemplating when and how she will surrender to the jurisdiction of the Senate.
03:49If she will surrender now,
03:52she will be detained for a long time until the next hearing, which is I think on July 29.
03:56If she will be detained, of course, it will be during the hearing.
04:00Mayor Alice Huo, if you have Facebook, maybe you can face the Senate.
04:09You even used Facebook to spread fake news that you are Filipino.
04:16You are not Filipino.
04:19Senator Risa Hontiveros added,
04:21based on her information from the Anti-Money Laundering Council or AMLAC,
04:25Goh's company, BAUFU, has a direct transaction with the account of Hong Jiang Yang,
04:30brother of Michael Yang, former economic advisor of former President Rodrigo Duterte.
04:35Goh's company has a transaction with the incorporator of Hongsheng, the Pogo that was raided in Bamban.
04:40Who is Hong Jiang Yang, you may ask?
04:43He is the brother of Michael Yang.
04:47Yes, the same Michael Yang, former economic presidential advisor of Duterte.
04:54In short, the money of Michael Yang's brother was used to fund Hongsheng, the raided Bamban Pogo.
05:03Hontiveros also said that Hong Jiang Yang has a relationship with Gerald Cruz,
05:08also one of the incorporators of Farmily Biological.
05:11The farmily of the Duterte administration became controversial due to the issue of overpriced medical supplies.
05:17I said, it looks like this Pogo and Farmily members are one big happy farmily.
05:24Maybe this farmily is the farm that Alice Goh raised.
05:30Michael Yang's camp has not yet agreed to the terms of the Hontiveros,
05:34but he first said that he has no connection with the illegal Pogo.
05:37For GMA Integrated News, Darlene Cai is your witness.
05:42A member of the LGBTQIA plus community was killed after he was shot in the head by a relative in Davao City.
05:51The body of a woman who has been missing for a month was found in Laguna.
05:55Witness, Sirmion Sumangi.
06:01This Friday night, at Masukal na Lugaro in Barangay Santa Cruz, Bayi, Laguna,
06:06the body of a woman who has been missing for a month was found.
06:10The NBI team coordinated here, Atty. Valencia,
06:14regarding the information in their follow-up investigation regarding the missing person
06:20who was missing on June 10 in Quezon City.
06:23More than 500 meters away from the main road where I am standing now,
06:28the body of the victim was found.
06:32Inside that building, the National Bureau of Investigation entered
06:37to recover the body on Friday night.
06:41According to the NBI, the body of the victim was found dead and his leg was amputated.
06:45No one was left near the crime scene, so there was no information to help with the investigation.
06:51There were people who were left, but they were far away from the place where the body was found.
07:00According to the PNP Anti-Kidnapping Group, the family confirmed the identity of the victim
07:05and after bringing him to Quezon City, he was immediately cremated.
07:09The lead investigation unit, the NBI, is still investigating.
07:14In Davao City, the body of a 30-year-old member of the LGBTQIA community was found lying on the ground with a head injury.
07:21Inside their room yesterday morning, the suspect claimed to be related to the victim.
07:27Based on the investigation, according to witnesses, the two were still drinking last Saturday night.
07:32The reason for that is jealousy based on the investigation that we got from the suspect.
07:38So last Friday, they filed a lawsuit based on the statement that we got from their witness.
07:45On Sunday morning, when the suspect went out of the victim's house,
07:48he was caught in the middle of the night in the town of Malalag in Davao de Azur where he was hiding.
07:53In front of the murder complaint, the suspect did not give a statement.
07:57For GMA Integrated News, I am Emil Sumangin, your witness.
08:03Before the witness, a man threw himself after a car hit him in Batangas City.
08:08In the footage of the CCTV last Sunday afternoon,
08:11we can see a man crossing the road of Sakop in Barangay Balagtas.
08:16The car arrived quickly and hit the victim's windshield.
08:21The driver of the car and with the help of the residents,
08:25they put the victim in a tricycle and took him to the hospital.
08:29The police have no information on the current condition of the victim.
08:37In preparation for the return to school,
08:40the number of 2 pesos per kilowatt hour added by Miralco this July.
08:45How did they manage their budget?
08:48Mackie Polido challenged the barangay witness.
08:55It's been two weeks since they returned to school.
08:57In addition to the additional expenses,
08:59the number of 2 pesos per kilowatt hour increased by Miralco this July.
09:04We asked our online supporters,
09:06what will you do to manage your budget?
09:09One answer is that they will reduce the use of appliances to save on electricity.
09:14The other answer is that they will use candles as lights
09:18and open windows so that they won't use air conditioners.
09:22They will wash the dishes first
09:24so that they can avoid using the washing machine
09:26and save time on using the television.
09:29And if there is no use of the refrigerator,
09:32remove it.
09:33That's the only thing we can do to save money.
09:37We will save on electricity.
09:39Actually, it's already cold.
09:42We can avoid using the television because we have cellphones.
09:46The rate hike is affecting not only the households but also the business.
09:50Sales in Louisa's store are at a low.
09:53She earns around P5,000 to P6,000 per month.
09:58Her position is the only one from their three stores before the COVID-19 pandemic.
10:03The electricity bill is too high.
10:06Generation Charge is the biggest bug in the rate hike.
10:10At the same time, the transmission charge is rising.
10:13Because of that, the total electricity rate this July
10:17increased to P11.60 from P9.45 last June.
10:23Myralco said that the June billing is decreasing
10:26because of the order of the Energy Regulatory Commission
10:28to make a four-month installment
10:30which should have been increased last June.
10:32So for the July billing,
10:34the deferred payment of P77 per kWh
10:38that will be charged to the electric bill every month from June to September.
10:42We have a disclaimer as early as last month
10:46that by the beginning of July,
10:48anticipate a big increase
10:51because the cost of electricity will return to the previous normal level
10:56plus the deferred cost.
11:00Electricity rates depend on the consumption of electricity.
11:03If your consumption is more than 200 kWh per month,
11:07the bill will be higher.
11:09An additional P430 will be charged to the electric bill
11:13of those who consume 200 kWh per month.
11:16P860 for those who consume 400 kWh per month
11:20and more than P1,000 for those who consume 500 kWh per month.
11:24Luisa will try to get closer.
11:26Even if the bill is low,
11:28we will continue to pay it
11:30instead of stopping it.
11:32In August, the bill is expected to go down.
11:35Demand for electricity is expected to go down
11:37so it may also go down in the spot market.
11:40For GMA Integrated News,
11:42I'm Mackie Pulido, your Saksi.
11:59All systems go now
12:01for the third State of the Nation Address
12:04of President Bongbong Marcos
12:06according to the House Secretary-General.
12:08The Inter-Agency Committee also went through
12:10for the arrival of the President at the rear entrance
12:13until his stay in the holding room
12:15and when he entered and left the session hall.
12:19A week before the President's sona,
12:21those who will rally
12:23with the leaders of the POV Modernization are also preparing.
12:26Saksi, Joseph Moro.
12:31The El Salvador Carousel Station
12:33in North Avenue is now new.
12:35It is located in front of the Philang Subdivision
12:37and near a new casino complex
12:39and a subway station.
12:41It is one of the busway stations
12:43that have elevators
12:45for those with children and elderly.
12:47However, there are people who are breaking
12:49the elevators made of glass
12:51or breaking the wiring.
12:53Let's be careful.
12:55If it is a prison and people are not seen inside,
12:58it can lead to a crime.
13:01The CRs will now follow
13:03what will be required of the winning company
13:05in the privatization of the carousel.
13:07I think it will be part of our Terms of Reference.
13:10While the bus system in EDSA is being fixed,
13:12the modernization of the jeepneys
13:14continues to be questioned.
13:17It is called PALPAC,
13:19so it will be protested by the group of Pistons and Bayan
13:21on the day of the State of the Nation
13:23Address of the President in Lines.
13:25They will join the National Law.
13:27The people of SONA should be close there.
13:29They will really try it.
13:31The MMDA will spread
13:33more than 1,000 enforcers for SONA.
13:36According to the MMDA,
13:38the Commonwealth Avenue here in Quezon City
13:40was not closed all day
13:42for the President's SONA.
13:44Maybe we will close it
13:46in the mid-afternoon,
13:48the Commonwealth portion.
13:50There will be a zipper lane,
13:53so it will not be a total closure.
13:56As part of the questioning of the Pistons,
13:58the Board Resolution of the Land Transportation
14:00Franchising and Regulatory Board or LTFRB
14:02allows the jeepneys
14:04that did not consolidate
14:06to travel in a few routes.
14:09More than 200 routes were consolidated
14:11in Metro Manila.
14:13In the provinces,
14:15more than 2,000 routes were consolidated,
14:17the most in the Cordillera Administrative Region.
14:20The number of vehicles will decrease.
14:24No off-supply of demand.
14:26The passengers will have a hard time riding.
14:29The LTFRB was surprised
14:31because there are only a few traditional jeepneys
14:33in the listed routes.
14:35That's why the cooperatives
14:37that have 15 required units
14:39were not able to enter.
14:41Exempted from consolidation
14:43due to the inability
14:45to consolidate
14:47to their number 4
14:49and below.
14:51This is the only exemption.
14:53To clarify,
14:55the cooperatives that consolidated
14:57are the routes that did not consolidate.
