00:00The flood does not yet reach some parts of Bulacan and Pangasinan.

00:16Residents are dispatching themselves to cross the daily activities.

00:21Witness, Jun Veneracion.

00:24At the top of the flood, in the second floor of their house,

00:27Lola Milagros and her grandchildren are staying in Barangay Talibaeo in Kalasyao, Pangasinan.

00:33The flood is deep, so we cannot go out.

00:38We are here at the top, we are cooking here at the top.

00:42Payas Creek is flooding, flooding up to 20 in the barangay Anolid in Mangaldan, Pangasinan.

00:49Two days of flooding on the side of the river in Barangay Poblacion, Linggayen, Pangasinan.

00:54Residents' belongings are lying on the seats.

00:57Almost Php 100 million has been spent on agriculture and infrastructure in the province.

01:04In Kalumpit, Bulacan, the flood left by Hurricane Karina and Hurricane Habagat is not yet over.

01:10Residents are dispatching themselves, not only their belongings,

01:15but also the chickens laid on the roof.

01:20Sometimes, they will drown, they cannot feed themselves.

01:25That's why we are carrying them there.

01:28Then, we will put them on top of the food.

01:31If you have a car, you will be lost here.

01:34That's why some have a boat parked at home.

01:37When we bought this, it was Php 7,000.

01:41You see, it's Php 7,000.

01:44It's been nine years.

01:48It's worth it.

01:50No one was affected by the flood, not even the private subdivision.

01:54In the past floods, there was still land to be found in their area.

01:58Now, it's just water.

02:01It's just water.

02:06It's not easy, sir.

02:08We are working hard.

02:11Because cars are hard to drive in the flood,

02:14even lawn tractors are being used by the residents.

02:18That's what can help them to get out.

02:22More than 127,000 residents in Kalumpit are affected.

02:26Almost all of them drowned.

02:2929 barangays, especially the subdivisions.

02:32It's been a long time.

02:34Because of the high tide.

02:36The high tide is already there.

02:38Because Kalumpit is a catch basin,

02:41the flood has become a part of the life of the residents.

02:44This is our building.

02:46But as you can see, it became an instant swimming pool for the children.

02:51The residents of Sapang Bayan in Kalumpit, Bulacan,

02:56were affected by the heavy rains accompanied by the high tide.

03:00The water of the two dams, Ipu Dam and Bustos Dam, will be lost.

03:05That's why the residents here have a new home.

03:10In the town of Hagonoy, in the middle of the flood,

03:13the procession for the local festivities continued.

03:16For GMA Integrated News,

03:18this is your June Veneration, Saksi.

03:22All systems go back to school for the new school year on Monday.

03:26But more than 700 schools will not open their classes.

03:30Because the school is not submerged in the flood,

03:32the evacuation center is being used.

03:34Saksi, this is Sandra Aguinaldo.

03:42That's the order of President Bongbong Marcos of the Department of Education,

03:46the gate of the President despite the flood.

03:49He wants to continue opening classes on Monday,

03:52as long as possible.

03:53But he will ask the local government and the schools to postpone it.

03:59According to the Education Secretary, Sani Angara,

04:02We really want to go back to July 29.

04:06But some will not be able to do it.

04:10In the city of Valenzuela, 40 schools were affected by the widespread floods

04:15brought by the Karina and Habagan floods.

04:17Other schools are using evacuation centers.

04:21For example, Malinta Elementary School,

04:248 classrooms were occupied by evacuees,

04:26which reached 115 individuals.

04:29So instead of Monday,

04:31the school opening in Valenzuela was postponed to August 5.

04:35Also in Marikina City,

04:36because most of their public schools also serve as temporary shelters.

04:41According to DepEd,

04:43324 schools are currently using evacuation centers in different parts of the country.

04:49Some schools were also affected by the floods,

04:52such as this public school in Sarat, Ilocos Norte,

04:55Libertad National High School in Abulug, Cagayan,

04:58and Kagisikan Elementary School in Calapan, Oriental, Mindoro,

05:03which reached six floors.

05:05According to Secretary Angara,

05:07not less than 70 schools were damaged,

05:11but this number is expected to increase.

05:14On the whole, so far our report is that

05:18NCR, Region 4A, Calabarzon, and well it seems Region 3 are severely damaged

05:26because we have 400 schools that will open after July 29.

05:30Among those who were suspended from opening classes on Monday was Malabon.

05:35He was suspended on July 31, Wednesday.

05:38DepEd continues to assess the damage

05:41to schools that were initially suspended reached Php 630 million.

05:47DepEd reminds that classes should not be suspended on July 29 in many schools.

05:53Those who can, I hope they will go back to school.

05:55Because the learning loss is very real.

05:58Number one, we are one of the most missed classes in the world.

06:03Almost Php 18.4 million enrolled in the school year 2024-2025.

06:09This includes elementary, junior and senior high,

06:12and those in the Alternative Learning System or ALS.

06:15The Implementing Rules and Regulations or IRR was also signed

06:20for the Expanded Career Progression System of teachers in public schools.

06:24This includes professional development and career advancement of public school teachers.

06:30Under the IRR, the additional teaching positions are included in the Classroom Teaching Career Line.

06:36These include Teacher 4, Teacher 5, Teacher 6, Teacher 7, and Master Teacher 5.

06:43For GMA Integrated News, Sandra Aguinaldo is your witness.

06:50Oil tankers in Bataan have yet to start extracting oil

06:54due to bad weather.

06:56In the event of an oil spill, it is expected to reach Metro Manila.

07:00John Consulta is your witness.

07:05Oil sheen or oil slick is what the Philippine Coast Guard sees

07:09in the sea around Limay, Bataan,

07:11where the oil tanker MT Terra Nova sank.

07:15But they wanted to stop the possible oil spill inside the tanker.

07:21The equipment used for this mission

07:23is being prepared by the Coast Guard of Bataan

07:26to prevent the oil spill from spreading.

07:30This is the private salvage company that is being pushed

07:34inside the sea around Limay, Bataan,

07:36where the MT Terra Nova sank.

07:39According to the Philippine Coast Guard,

07:41this group will use it to supply

07:451.4 million liters of industrial oil

07:49to the oil tanker MT Terra Nova.

07:52At the time of the oil spill,

07:54this oil will be placed inside these plastic containers

07:58so that the sea around Bataan will be safe.

08:04The Coast Guard started examining the water around the sinking tanker.

08:08But due to bad weather,

08:10the siphoning or extraction of oil from the tanker did not start.

08:14The Coast Guard is worried that if an oil spill occurs,

08:18Metro Manila and nearby areas may be affected.

08:41PEDRO-EMB obtained a water sample

08:44from coastal areas in Limay and Mariveles

08:47to find out if they were affected by the oil spill.

08:50The question now is,

08:51who should be responsible if the ships continue to sail?

08:56According to the Port Anagas Ship Management,

08:58the owner of MT Terra Nova said

09:00that the Coast Guard stopped the sailing of the ship on July 22,

09:04but allowed it to sail the next night.

09:06What we are asking is,

09:08if a ghost signal will come from the Coast Guard

09:12or from the Philippine Port Authority,

09:15we are not clear if it was allowed.

09:19But what we know is that the captain is still in the discussion.

09:24The owner of the ship helped the Coast Guard

09:27with the plan and timeline of the oil spill.

09:30Our goal is zero oil spill.

09:33Just in case, worst comes to worst,

09:36if it really happens,

09:38we are all prepared.

09:41Our equipments and other equipments that are not available here in the Philippines

09:45have already been requested by other countries.

09:50The LGU prohibited fishing in the area.

09:53Our barangay captains are helping

09:56and of course, they are preparing for help.

09:59For JMA Integrated News,

10:01I am John Consulta,

10:03your sasay.

10:06The stores of the New Nova Plaza Market

10:09in Barangay Santa Monica, Novaliches, Quezon City

10:12were burned.

10:13The fire was difficult to extinguish.

10:16The contents are plastic cups, paper cups,

10:19wood, and oil.

10:21That was our challenge.

10:23When the inside of the market entered,

10:25the stores in each stall were almost burnt.

10:28The BFP is still investigating the cause of the fire.

10:32The overall importance of the case is also being investigated.

10:37International Criminal Court Prosecutor,

10:39named Umano,

10:41as the suspect of the Duterte Drug War,

10:44is Senator Ronald Bato de la Rosa,

10:46PNP Chief, who carried out the campaign.

10:48That is based on the document obtained by former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV

10:53in the office of the ICC Prosecutor.

10:56The former PNP Chief Oscar Albayalde,

11:00former PNP CIDG Directors Romeo Karamat Jr. and Eleazar Mata,

11:04and NAPOLCOM Commissioner Edelberto Leonardo,

11:07said in the document that there is sufficient basis

11:10to believe that they committed crimes

11:12that are in the jurisdiction of the office of the ICC Prosecutor to investigate.

11:17When the documents were authenticated by GMA Integrated News,

11:21the office of the ICC Prosecutor said

11:24that it does not comment on the statements of governments

11:27or bodies of the state.

11:29They also said that they will not verify

11:31or authenticate documents distributed by outside sources.

11:35In addition,

11:37it is important to protect the confidentiality of their work

11:41to ensure the safety of all their relatives

11:44and as a protection of the integrity of their operations.

11:48As for de la Rosa,

11:50in 2016, her name was mentioned again and again

11:54as if it were a plaque.

11:56GMA Integrated News continues to get the attention

11:59of Generals Albayalde, Karamat, Mata, and Commissioner Leonardo.

12:03For GMA Integrated News,

12:05here is the reference of your witness.

12:09Before the witness,

12:10high-grade marijuana was listed

12:12in a parcel delivered to Dasmariñas, Cavite.

12:15In Pasay City,

12:16a Vietnamese national was arrested

12:18who sells or monitors party drugs.

12:21Witness, Simeon Sumangi.

12:26Because some parcels were recognized

12:28and delivered to their offices,

12:30a courier company in Dasmariñas, Cavite

12:33was immediately arrested

12:34by the PNP Drug Enforcement Group Special Operating Unit 4A.

12:37There,

12:38the authorities saw the contents of the parcels

12:41of vape cartridge, glass jar, black plastic,

12:43carton cup, and silver pouch

12:45containing high-grade marijuana.

12:48The authorities searched the parcels

12:50and found that the contents of the parcels

12:52were filled with illegal drugs

12:55while they did not believe

12:57the people who were supposed to be the recipients of the parcels.

13:06The NBI,

13:07Dangerous Drugs Division,

13:08intercepted the Vietnamese wanted

13:10for selling illegal drugs.

13:11The operation was stopped

13:13after a foreign suspect sold

13:15an undercover NBI agent of some party drugs.

13:18This is also a rape drug.

13:21Because you won't remember anything that happened

13:24during the time you were under the influence of this drug.

13:27He put it here in the teddy bears.

13:32Here, there are more that he got.

13:34He put it here for delivery to his clients.

13:39Okay, so,

13:40it's not clear that he just gave teddy bears.

13:44So, that's his modus operandi.

13:46After he was arrested,

13:48the NBI applied to the court of search warrant

13:50and it was approved.

13:52The NBI raided the suspect's condominium unit

13:55and here,

13:56they found more evidence.

13:58Millions of ketamine and ecstasy

14:03were found in his house.

14:05The NBI first monitored the suspect

14:07when he left his bag in his public utility vehicle.

14:11The driver took the bag

14:13and its bullet

14:15to find out who could have sold party drugs and more.

14:19Approximately 48 grams of ketamine

14:23and 53 tablets of ecstasy tablets

14:28with estimated strict value of more than half a million.

14:34Since then,

14:35law enforcement agencies were out looking for this person.

14:40The suspect refused to give testimony.

14:44Another block of shabu was found

14:46on the side of the beach in Barangay La Paz, Labag City, Ilocos Norte.

14:49In the examination of the BNP Crime Laboratory,

14:51115.66 grams of shabu was found.

14:55Its estimated value is 7.5 million pesos.

14:58It was wrapped in plastic and has a Chinese character written on it.

15:02It was also found in the first place

15:04in the town of Ilocos Surat, Cagayan.

15:06According to the police,

15:07a fish was found while a tree was hanging on the beach.

15:11Possibly, a smuggler was involved

15:13due to bad weather.

15:15For GMA Integrated News,

15:17I'm Emil Sumang,

15:19Saksi!

15:21Following the widespread flooding

15:23that was investigated by Senate President Chis Escudero,

15:25the government's flood control project,

15:27which was funded by a billion pesos,

15:29was hit by the DPWH.

15:31The flood control projects are working again.

15:33It was said that it rained a lot last Wednesday.

15:37Saksi!

15:38This is Mackie Polino.

15:43The widespread flooding

15:44was caused by the strong winds of the recent typhoon.

15:47It happened just a few days after

15:49President Marcos launched the government's flood control projects

15:51in his area.

15:54For 2024,

15:56according to Senate President Chis Escudero,

15:58they raised a fund of P255 billion pesos

16:02for the DPWH's flood control projects.

16:05P455 million pesos was given

16:08for projects like this by the MMDA.

16:11Regarding the flooding,

16:12what happened to these projects?

16:15That's why Escudero is asking the Senate

16:17to investigate the current flood control projects.

16:20The Congress will also conduct its own investigation.

16:23According to the DPWH,

16:25the flood control projects are working again.

16:27It was said that it rained a lot last Wednesday.

16:30If it doesn't rain,

16:31it might be worse and last longer

16:33before the flood goes away.

16:35The volume went down

16:38after two days of downpour.

16:43So, I think it's understandable.

16:46The best thing about this is that

16:48the flood water receded

16:51in a very short time.

16:53Dr. Mahar Lagmay of the UP Resilience Institute explained

16:56that the flood control projects

16:59that we have now

17:00won't be able to handle the heavy rainfall.

17:02The flood control projects are effective

17:05when it's just right.

17:06But when the big, infrequent ones come,

17:10it overwhelms the design.

17:12It's okay to have flood control,

17:14but it's not a complete solution.

17:16The problem in Metro Manila is that

17:19the normal waterway was cemented

17:21and houses and houses were built.

17:24For example, if it doesn't rain,

17:26this is what the Marikina River looks like.

17:28But this is really the Marikina River's waterway

17:31that is now full of houses and houses.

17:34This is also the problem in San Juan City

17:37that the San Juan River is passing through.

17:39We no longer respect

17:41the real natural place,

17:46the waterway.

17:48According to Lagmay,

17:49a long-term solution

17:51is the decongestion of Metro Manila.

17:53For now,

17:54this kind of map

17:55that the UP Resilience Institute studied

17:58is a big thing

17:59to know the critical places

18:01and where are the high places for evacuation.

18:04For GMA Integrated News,

18:06I'm Mackie Pulido,

18:07your witness.

18:15More than 10,000 athletes

18:17will participate in the 2024 Paris Olympics

18:54because it's the first time

18:55that we'll have a parade

18:57that's not in a stadium.

19:03It's also a chance to experience

19:05what it's like here in the Philippines

19:06especially since it's the 100th year

19:08since we first sent a delegation to the Olympics.

19:12Our flagbearers are ready,

19:14Carlo Paalam

19:23the Filipino boxers are ready,

19:26Tergy Bakyadan

19:28and Ira Villegas.

19:30The boxing team also has good news

19:33because Paalam,

19:34Marcial and Bakyadan

19:35are already in the round of 16.

19:38They just need two wins.

19:40It's sure of bronze after two wins.

19:46Our gymnasts are also in Paris,

19:48Carlos Yulo,

19:50Emma Malabuyo

19:51and Alea Pineda.

19:53Levi Ruivivar is also there.

20:00that he had on Monday.

20:06where he will fight.

20:10For GMA Integrated News,

20:41friends,

20:43sponsors and donations

20:45were preparing

20:46to give to those affected

21:09they also bought food.

21:11Their children,

21:13Zia and Sixto,

21:17Thank you to those who gave

21:19so that at least we can gather

21:21that many bags

21:23to give and distribute

21:25to our fellow countrymen.

21:27We decided to turn over everything

21:29here at GMA Kapuso Foundation

21:31because we know that

21:33GMA Kapuso Foundation

21:35is always the first

21:37when it comes to sites

21:39for these kinds of disasters.

21:41This morning,

21:43Bianca Umali

21:45was also involved in repacking relief food.

21:47When I saw that

21:49I really needed more help

21:51in repacking

21:53because there was a typhoon earlier.

21:55I didn't hesitate.
