00:00The family of the now-beauty queen, Geneva Lopez, filed a double murder complaint.
00:05More than a month after they found the body of her boyfriend, Israeli.
00:09Witness, Salima Refran.
00:15More than a month after the bodies of the famous beauty pageant contestant, Geneva Lopez,
00:23and Israeli boyfriend, Yitzhak Cohen, were found in Kapas, Tarlac.
00:27The family of Lopez and the PNP-CIDG in the Department of Justice filed a double murder complaint.
00:33They named five respondents in the complaint.
00:37The four PNPs are now under the custody of them,
00:40including the two police officers who were removed from the service.
00:44There was an allegation of conspiracy.
00:46They had a meeting and they planned the actual killing of the two.
00:53There were two who really shot.
00:57There was one who was involved in disposing the bodies of the two victims.
01:07And there was another person who was also part of the plan, who was also part of the complaint.
01:14The key witness who taught the PNP-CIDG, Lopez and Cohen, ate with his wife.
01:21The main motive of the crime was the attempt of the suspect,
01:25who was a former police officer, to get his land back from the victims.
01:29They were the only two victims who had land to buy.
01:32That's why they were able to see the suspects.
01:35That's why these two victims were sent to the place where they were seen.
01:40They were guided to the place where their plan of killing was executed.
01:47According to the new findings of the preliminary investigation,
01:51the complaint will be evaluated before the preliminary investigation is conducted.
01:57Lopez's family is calling for justice.
02:01We really want justice.
02:03We want everyone who is guilty to be punished.
02:08And we want all of them to be left without a place to live and to be punished.
02:15For GMA Integrated News, I'm Nima Refran.
02:18Your witness...
02:21A former police officer raised his hand in Dagupan City against a PWD man.
02:26The former police officer's grandson was raped by a PWD man.
02:30Witness, Jasmine Gabriel Galvan of GMA Regional TV.
02:39In that video, you can see a man riding a motorcycle
02:43in front of the Balangay Hall of Tapuak, Dagupan City.
02:47When the motorcycle stopped, the man got off and was slapped twice.
02:51Another man was sitting there.
02:53The man who was slapped also left.
02:55The man who was slapped was a 27-year-old PWD man.
02:59While the man who was slapped was a former police officer of the barangay.
03:06The incident in the barangay was followed.
03:08The victim wanted to talk to the former police officer
03:12but he didn't want to.
03:13He was already thinking of filing a formal complaint.
03:17He should have told us first because we are just his neighbors.
03:22The former police officer didn't make an interview in front of the camera
03:26but he admitted to the incident.
03:28He said that he slapped the victim because he was the first to rape his 10-year-old grandson.
03:34He said that he had CCTV footage where he could see the slap of the victim to his minor grandson.
03:41The complainant's son also admitted to the crime.
03:44But this is one of the reasons why the complainant is often bullied because of his age.
03:50The officials of the barangay are still trying to talk to the two parties.
03:54For GMA Integrated News, I am Jasmine Gabriel Galvan of GMA Regional TV.
04:01Your Saksi.
04:03The Department of Agriculture has allocated funds for the vaccination of pigs against African Swine Fever.
04:11There will also be additional inspection sites against ASF.
04:15Saksi, by Bernadette Reyes.
04:19In order for the spread of ASF to be confirmed, the vaccination program in Martins will start.
04:24Tomorrow, the Bureau of Animal Industry in Batangas will go there
04:28where eight countries have been diagnosed with ASF.
04:31This is where the agencies will place the experts in vaccinating.
04:35The vaccine is free. It is voluntary.
04:38That is why the pigs will not be forced to be vaccinated.
04:43We will lay down the rules of engagement.
04:46We cannot say, here, we will vaccinate. No, we have to get the blood.
04:51We will talk to the technical people in Batangas first.
04:55It will not be vaccinated right away. Again, we have to be very careful.
05:00First, the medicine will only be injected to pigs that are not sick.
05:03It cannot be injected to breeders or to those who have been vaccinated.
05:08It also needs to be monitored every 30 to 60 days on the reaction of the pigs to the vaccine.
05:14When we see that it is positive, we will not vaccinate because we are already looking for a disease.
05:21This medicine will not have an effect if there is a pig disease inside.
05:28According to the DA, 600,000 doses of the vaccine are expected to arrive in the country.
05:33It's not that alarming because the vaccine is on the way.
05:37So hopefully, we can contain this.
05:41But of course, it will not be easy, but we will do our best.
05:45Inspection sites will be added to prevent other places from contracting ASF.
05:51This inspection site here in Malanday, Valenzuela,
05:54the last control point here in Metro Manila,
05:56before the pigs can be transported to nearby provinces of Bulacan, Pampanga, and Tarlac,
06:02where a wide repopulation is currently taking place.
06:05At the checkpoint in Tandang Sora, Quezon City,
06:0860 pigs from Sariaya, Quezon were brought to Caloocan, Nakumpisca,
06:13due to pecking documents.
06:15It also does not have a shipping permit from the house.
06:18For GMA Integrated News, Bernadette Reyes, your witness.
06:24The World Health Organization has declared viral disease, Mpox,
06:28as a global public health emergency.
06:31It is followed by the outbreak of the disease known as Monkeypox
06:35in the Democratic Republic of Congo, which is now spreading to other neighboring countries.
06:40The Public Health Emergency of International Concern is the highest alert
06:46of the WHO to speed up the investigation, funding, and assistance of various countries.
06:54More than 500 are in Africa because of Mpox this year,
06:58while there are more than 17,000 suspected cases.
07:01This is the second time that the Global Public Health Emergency was declared
07:05because of Mpox after it was first raised in 2022.
07:11The agreement for the recruitment of healthcare workers is one of the signed
07:16on the first day of the State Visit of Singaporean President Tharman Sharmugaratnam.
07:21Ivan Mayrino is the witness.
07:25Along with the 55th Anniversary of the Diplomatic Relations of the Philippines and Singapore,
07:29where more than 200,000 Filipinos work and live,
07:33the three-day State Visit of Singaporean President Tharman Sharmugaratnam
07:38was attended by the President of Singapore, Jane Yumiko Itogi,
07:42President Bongbong Marcos, and First Lady Liza Arneta Marcos.
07:46The bilateral meeting of the two leaders was not ordinary
07:49because after their conversations about cooperation and strengthening the relationship,
07:54the two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulong went to talk about his success in the past Olympics.
08:00It's a real milestone.
08:02It's a real milestone for all of us.
08:04We share a bit of the reflected glory of the Philippines.
08:09That's what I was telling everyone.
08:11Tonight, it's not about us.
08:13We're just reflected glory over here and trying to be part of the achievements of us.
08:21We are very, very proud.
08:22Tonight, the agreement for the implementation of the regulations
08:27on the recruitment of healthcare workers and the maintenance of their health
08:30is also a memorandum of giving incentives to industries
08:34to reduce their carbon footprints and take care of the environment.
08:38Some agreements are being made between private companies and NGOs in Singapore
08:43and local governments in the Philippines.
08:45The two leaders mentioned their shared position in talking about the South China Sea.
08:51As geographical neighbors in Southeast Asia,
08:54the South China Sea and the West Philippine Sea hold great importance to both our countries.
08:59So we look forward to the opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to maintain
09:04and to promote peace, security, and stability in the region,
09:08as well as our strong support for the peaceful resolution of any such disputes.
09:13The South China Sea is an extremely important issue.
09:16Singapore's position, of course, is well known.
09:19We've consistently upheld the rights of all states to freedom of navigation and overflight
09:26and strongly supported the peaceful resolution of disputes in accordance with international law,
09:33including the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, or UNCLOS.
09:40A state banquet is being prepared for the Singapore delegation,
09:43which also includes some negotiators.
09:45Earlier, the Singaporean president led the wreath-laying ceremony at the Rizal Monument.
09:50He will also visit several research institutions here in the Philippines.
