00:00A Vietnamese who was pushed by illegal drugs here in the Philippines has no escape from the authorities.
00:07He was stabbed because he left his bag in a public vehicle.
00:11Here is what I learned.
00:16In a condominium in Pasa, the Vietnamese who was wanted for pushing illegal drugs was arrested in the so-called Entrapment Operation of the NBI Dangerous Drugs Division.
00:26The operation started after a foreign suspect sold an undercover NBI agent of a party drug such as Ecstasy, Ketamine, and others.
00:36This is also a rape drug.
00:39Because you won't remember anything that happened during the time you were under the influence of this drug.
00:45And to start the sale to the Parocians, the foreigners also joined in.
00:49He put it here in the teddy bears.
00:54There are many more that he got.
00:56He put it there for delivery to his clients.
01:01So it's not possible to prove that he just gave teddy bears.
01:06So that's his modus operandi.
01:08After he was arrested, he applied to the court for a search warrant of the NBI and for it to be approved.
01:15The suspect's condominium unit was raided by the NBI and other evidence was found here.
01:20Millions of ketamine and ecstasy were found in his house.
01:27The NBI first monitored the suspect when he left his bag in his public utility vehicle.
01:33The bag was taken by the driver and it was opened to find out who owns it.
01:38The party drugs and others were found.
01:41Approximately 48 grams of ketamine and 53 tablets of ecstasy tablet
01:50with an estimated value of more than half a million.
01:56Since then, the law enforcement agencies were out looking for this person.
02:02The suspect refused to give a statement.
02:05For GMA Integrated News, Emil Sumangil, Lakatutok, 24 Hours.
02:11Meanwhile, it took a week for the flood to reach Calumpit, Bulacan.
02:16The latest was broadcast live by June Generation.
02:20June?
02:25Connie, almost all of the 28 barangays here in Calumpit, Bulacan are affected by the heavy flooding.
02:33We are here at the entrance of the adjacent private subdivision.
02:38Here, no matter where we look, we can hardly see any land.
02:46The Karina Flood is gone.
02:49But the flood that left it here in Calumpit is still not going away.
02:54The residents are disposing of their own belongings that were not used.
02:59Even the chickens were put in a sack.
03:02Sometimes, they are put in a sack.
03:04They will drown. They can't breathe.
03:07That's why we put them in a sack.
03:10Then, we put food on top of them.
03:13If you have a car, you will be lost here.
03:16That's why some people have a boat parked in their house.
03:19When we bought this, it cost us P7,000.
03:24This P7,000 is a few years old. It's been nine years.
03:30It's worth it.
03:32No one was affected by the flood, not even the residents of the private subdivision.
03:36In the past floods, there was still land to be found in their area.
03:40Now, it's just water.
03:48It's just water. We can't do anything about it.
03:50We can't work properly.
03:52Because it's hard to drive on top of the flood,
03:55even lawn tractors are being used to drive the residents.
03:59That's the only thing that can help them to get out of the flood.
04:04Schools are using evacuation centers in case of floods.
04:09That's why it's uncertain if the classes will be able to open on Monday.
04:13More than 127,000 residents in Calumpit are affected.
04:18Now, almost everyone has drowned.
04:20Twenty-nine barangays, especially the subdivisions.
04:24It's been a long time.
04:26It's because of the high tide.
04:30Because Calumpit is a catch basin,
04:32the flood became a part of the lives of the residents.
04:35This is our house.
04:38But now, it has become an instant swimming pool for the children.
04:42The residents of this barangay in Calumpit, Bulacan,
04:47are affected by the heavy rains accompanied by the high tide.
04:52The Ipudam and Bustos Dam will be drained.
04:56That's why the residents here have a new home.
05:01In the town of Hagonoy,
05:03the procession for the local festivities still continues in the middle of the flood.
05:12The Calumpit Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office
05:17may have to wait another week for the affected areas to be completely drained.
05:24Back to you, Connie.
05:25Thank you very much, Jun Veneracion.
05:29Because of the high tide of the Marikina River,
05:31a barge was removed from its anchorage
05:34before it was towed to a bridge in Pasig.
05:38That's what the DPWH is investigating.
05:41If the bridge can still be towed,
05:43that's what Marie Zumali will find out.
05:48How did these barges end up on the bridge?
05:51On F. Manalo Bridge,
05:52in the heavy rain this Wednesday,
05:55the DPWH is investigating the incident.
06:01On the location map shown on GMA Integrated News,
06:04you can see the original location of the barges.
06:08But around 3 p.m. this Wednesday,
06:11when the water level in the Marikina River increased,
06:14the barge No. 20 was removed from its anchorage
06:17and the barge No. 18 was towed.
06:20There was a chain reaction.
06:23One of the barges was towed,
06:25and then they moved.
06:26In those moments,
06:27there were still people on the barge.
06:30But nothing could be done
06:32because of the high tide in the Marikina River.
06:35No matter what we do,
06:36because it's just a barge,
06:37it doesn't have an engine to move by itself,
06:44so it was just carried by itself.
06:46It's a good thing that all the barges were saved.
06:49But in the worst case,
06:51only a large piece was pushed on the F. Manalo Bridge,
06:54which aside from being low,
06:55is also old.
06:56At present,
06:57the barge No. 20 is still anchored under the Circulo Verde Bridge,
07:01while some of the tugboats have already been towed.
07:03A salvage team was hired.
07:05The contractor of DPWH
07:07will pull the barges that are still anchored
07:11and remove the debris as soon as possible
07:14because it's very dangerous to stay here
07:17especially when it rains again
07:19and when the tide is high.
07:21The barge is totally damaged.
07:24Secondly,
07:25when they move,
07:27it depends on whether they are anchored
07:29or on the barges that are already anchored.
07:35They are racing against time.
07:37Based on the investigation of DPWH,
07:39it is still possible to save the F. Manalo Bridge
07:42so that motorists can pass it again.
07:44It needs to be passable as soon as possible.
07:47The approach is critical and we need to secure it.
07:51For GMA Integrated News,
07:53Maris Umali for Tutok, 24 Hours.
07:59Not all superheroes wear capes
08:01because some are superstars.
08:03Like Marian Rivera and Ding Dong Dantes
08:06who donated relief packs to the GMA Capuso Foundation
08:09to give to the victims of a bad time.
08:12Some sparkle stars also volunteered to give back.
08:16Let's talk to Larson Tiago.
08:21Capuso Prime Time Queen, Marian Rivera,
08:26released her inner Darna again.
08:28She brought a lot of relief packs
08:32prepared by her family, friends, sponsors,
08:37and some donations to give to the victims of a bad time.
08:44With Marian, who came to the warehouse
08:47of the GMA Capuso Foundation last night,
08:50is Mr. Ding Dong Dantes.
08:53He said that more than 700 bags of relief goods
08:58were repacked.
09:00Aside from Marian,
09:02some bought food.
09:04Their son, Zia and Sixto, also helped in packing.
09:10Thank you very much to those who donated
09:12so that we can collect that many bags
09:16to give and distribute to our countrymen.
09:19We decided to turn over everything
09:21to the GMA Capuso Foundation
09:23because we know that the GMA Capuso Foundation
09:26is always one of the first to come to sites
09:30for these kinds of incidents.
09:32This morning,
09:34Bianca Umali was also involved in repacking relief food.
09:40When I saw that I really needed more help
09:44in repacking for those who were hit by the typhoon earlier,
09:48I didn't hesitate.
09:50Bianca was also involved in repacking
09:53the SPARKLE artists,
09:55Jeric Gonzalez,
09:57Aaron Villena,
09:59and singer and Army Reservist,
10:01Ronnie Liang.
10:03Some of the SPARKLE Young Stars
10:06arrived early this morning
10:08led by Sofia Pablo and Allen Ansay.
10:12They were accompanied by
10:14Bruce Roland,
10:16Anjay Anson,
10:17Edgar Alan Guzman,
10:19Shaira Diaz,
10:20Martin Del Rosario,
10:22and Roxie Smith.
10:24For GMA Integrated News,
10:27ORSantiago,
10:29tuning in for 24 Hours.
10:33In spite of the bad weather this Wednesday,
10:37it can't be avoided to compare it to the typhoon Ondoy.
10:40According to Pag-asa,
10:41within 6 hours,
10:43more rain brought Ondoy
10:45to more than 300 mm
10:48compared to 207 mm.
10:50But,
10:51it took 18 hours
10:53for the typhoon to hit this Wednesday.
10:55That's why,
10:56it was almost equal to the typhoon Ondoy.
10:58This is Sanjo Aguinaldo.
11:04In spite of the bad weather this Wednesday,
11:07it can't be avoided to compare it to the typhoon Ondoy.
11:09In spite of the bad weather this Wednesday,
11:11it can't be avoided to compare it to the typhoon Ondoy.
11:14It's the old times
11:17that served as their shelter.
11:22In Barangay Roja in Quezon City,
11:24where residents are busy cleaning up,
11:27Emanuel remembers
11:29that he lived here for 60 years.
11:31It happened again.
11:34After the typhoon,
11:35here it is again.
11:37Before Ondoy,
11:38you didn't feel anything.
11:44Why did you...
11:52I was just thinking.
11:54Sorry.
11:58He experienced this three times
12:00in their area.
12:01First, Ondoy.
12:02Then, Habaga.
12:03Then, this.
12:05Monitored by the Pag-asa Regional Services Division,
12:08the rain used a tipping bucket
12:11where it collects rain.
12:13It's connected to a tipping bucket recorder
12:16that measures the rain collected.
12:18That's why it's a tipping bucket.
12:19When it's tipping,
12:20it's like a seesaw.
12:22When it meets the 0.5% precipitation,
12:24the amount of precipitation,
12:26in one bucket,
12:27in this container,
12:29it will tip.
12:30At 8am,
12:31the rain was already heavy.
12:33If we read our hourly here,
12:36at 9am,
12:37it's already 78.
12:38The rain was very heavy.
12:41It continued until yesterday,
12:43around 5pm.
12:45When compared by Pag-asa,
12:46Karina and Habagat,
12:48in the taste of Habagat in 2012
12:51and the typhoon Ondoy in 2009,
12:54We can compare Karina
12:56to what happened in 2012.
12:58Karina, in around 18 hours,
13:01produced around 300 plus millimeters of rain,
13:06like what happened to Habagat in 2012.
13:09Ondoy, in a span of 6 hours,
13:11produced 300 millimeters of rain.
13:15So, it happened in a short amount of time,
13:18and the rainfall was very high.
13:20If it already happened before,
13:22why did many people still get surprised?
13:25According to Pag-asa,
13:26they issued an advisory
13:29a few days before the continuous rain.
13:31The Department of Science and Technology
13:34did not easily predict the rainfall of Habagat or monsoon.
13:39The exact measurement of rainfall
13:41when it comes to Habagat or Pag-asa
13:44is difficult compared to the rainfall brought by the typhoon.
13:49The threshold that we see
13:51when it comes to possible floods
13:53is around 100 millimeters of rain.
13:55The flood can already happen.
13:57So, if it doubles,
13:59the flood will be more certain.
14:01For GMA Integrated News,
14:03I'm Sandra Aguinaldo,
14:04for Tutok 24 Horas.
14:17Not only does it rain and flood,
14:20it also takes a thousand years for the styrofoam to melt.
14:24To reduce that,
14:26an alternative was developed
14:28by a group in Cebu
14:29made of nyog skin.
14:31Come, let's change the game.
14:38In a pan-tropical island like the Philippines,
14:40the coconut nuts are in demand.
14:44We only have 350 million nyog trees in the country.
14:49That's why the Philippines
14:50is the second largest producer in the world.
14:53Coconut is considered a tree of life
14:55because it can be used in many ways.
14:57Our innovation today
14:59can also be an eco-friendly alternative to styrofoam.
15:05We visited the Lamat Coco Hub in Cebu Province,
15:08where almost all of the nyog
15:11is brought to the province's canlurang.
15:13Here, when a whole coconut arrives,
15:17we process it all.
15:19So, nothing is wasted.
15:23The nyog skin
15:24is sent to Fortuna Cools
15:26to be made into biodegradable coconut fiber insulators.
15:30The idea was conceived
15:31when the group joined the United Nations
15:34Development Program Ocean Challenge in 2020.
15:39The goal is to reduce plastic waste in the ocean.
15:43What we encountered
15:44is one of the biggest pollutants
15:47is what we call styrofoam.
15:49It cannot be recycled
15:51and it's very toxic to our ocean environment.
15:55That's why their winning pitch
15:57is to replace styrofoam coolers
15:59with a biodegradable one.
16:01The coconut itself has a natural insulation.
16:04So, even if the sun is too hot,
16:06when you open the coconut,
16:07the water is still cold.
16:09We are now at step number one.
16:12After dumping the coconuts,
16:18the parts of the nyog are first separated.
16:2015,000 ade.
16:22This is coconut.
16:27The coconut meat will go to the coconut oil.
16:32While the skin is being dried,
16:34it will be placed in a decorticating machine
16:37to separate the fiber.
16:41The next step,
16:42we are here in the sifting machine
16:45where we will separate the husk.
16:53We will now fill the coconut husk fabrics
16:59until it reaches the stitching machine
17:06and will be placed in the heating machine.
17:11But aside from being environment friendly,
17:13coconut insulators are also more durable and effective
17:16compared to styrofoam.
17:18They are also making more money for coconut farmers.
17:21Now, they are studying other ways
17:24to use coconut insulators.
17:27There you have it, Kapuso.
17:28A game-changing innovation
17:30that can help coconut farmers
17:33and has the potential to have a bigger impact
17:36for the environment.
17:38For GMA Integrated News,
17:40I am Martin Oviere,
17:41Changing the Game.
17:43I am Martin Oviere,
17:44Changing the Game.
17:47The new President of the Philippine Democratic Party,
17:49Senator Robin Padilla,
17:51challenged Senator Francis Tolentino's
17:53candidacy for the party.
17:54Mark Salazar's answer was the following.
18:00Since becoming the Executive Vice President
18:03of the Philippine Democratic Party or PDP,
18:06the party of former President Rodrigo Duterte,
18:09last Wednesday,
18:10Senator Robin Padilla was elected
18:12as the President of the party.
18:14One day after this,
18:16Padilla asked for Senator Francis Tolentino
18:19to be elected as a member of the party.
18:21Not only as the PDP Vice President for Luzon,
18:25but also as a member of the party.
18:28In a statement,
18:29Padilla said that in this way,
18:31Tolentino will achieve his additional duties
18:34as the Senate Majority Leader.
18:37In this way,
18:38the question of their being fair
18:41regarding issues will be avoided.
18:44The independence of the party will be shown
18:47and the question of political talks
18:49will be avoided.
18:52Remember this May,
18:53Tolentino sat as the new Senate Majority Leader
18:57while Senator Cheese Escudero
18:59sat as the new Senate President.
19:02Tolentino told Padilla
19:04that politics should not be discussed at this time.
19:08It is better to help them first
19:11to facilitate the rise of those in power.
19:15For GMA Integrated News,
19:17Mark Salazar,
19:19for 24 Hours.
