00:00A 2-year-old girl was killed after a hot batchoy soup fell into the boiler of a pot in Iloilo.
00:08Witnesses are Zen Kilantang Sasa of GMA Regional TV.
00:15A 2-year-old girl named Baby Kaiden was killed after a hot batchoy soup fell into the boiler of a pot in Iloilo.
00:23The incident happened in Purok 3, Barangay Pantalan, Carles, Iloilo.
00:28According to the mother of the child, Janet, she was selling food on August 8
00:33when she did not notice that Kaiden was playing behind her.
00:37She was just surprised that it fell into the boiler that was on fire at that time.
00:53Although it did not boil, the contents of the pot were still hot.
00:57That's why the child suffered from 4th-degree burns.
01:00The child was immediately taken to the hospital.
01:02She was brought back to life on August 13 at Western Visayas Medical Center in Iloilo City.
01:15From GMA Regional TV and GMA Integrated News, I'm Zen Kilantang, your witness.
01:23A new oil price hike is expected next week based on the data of the Department of Energy.
01:28According to the Energy Regulatory Commission,
01:31it is also possible for Meralko to increase in the coming months until the next year.
01:36Witness, Marie Zumali.
01:42Whenever Judith or Judate arrives, the Meralko customer, Tonio, gets angry.
01:47It makes me cry because it's so hard.
01:54Everything is rising and you will know that the current is still rising.
02:01That's why we are pitiful.
02:04There are three cents per kilowatt hour that were added to the announcement for the month of August.
02:10And according to the Energy Regulatory Commission,
02:13it is possible to follow that for the next 12 months starting this October.
02:17The ERC approved the request of Meralko
02:20to ask the customers for a higher price from the plants that use natural gas.
02:26What we expect is around 30 cents per kilowatt hour increase in the initial estimate of the ERC.
02:33They will catch some in January to August that they haven't raised yet.
02:41There will be an additional 2 cents over the next 12 months.
02:46So in total, the initial estimate is around 32 to 33 cents per kilowatt hour.
02:54The ERC told Meralko
02:56that they should pay attention to the supply coming from other plants that are cheaper.
03:02It is possible that Meralko's customers will be filled with more gas not just for a year.
03:08Until October next year for the recovery from January.
03:12But we expect a higher price.
03:15As long as this contract on natural gas plants is alive,
03:18this will be the estimate unless they can source a lower LNG
03:24or the rate of the plant is decreasing again.
03:27As of now, until 2025 and 2027,
03:30Meralko's contract on two natural gas plants,
03:34First Gas Power Corporation and FGP Corporation.
03:38Next is the big-time oil price rollback of this Tuesday.
03:41The price of oil products is expected to rise next week.
03:46According to the Department of Energy Oil Industry Management Bureau,
03:49based on the four-day trading,
03:51a possible increase in gasoline is up to 90 centavos.
03:54Diesel and kerosene can be raised by more than a peso per liter.
03:58According to the DOEOIMB,
04:00the rising tensions in the Middle East is one of the reasons for the high prices.
04:05For GMA Integrated News, I'm Maris Umali.
04:10Arrested members of an organized crime group in Quezon City
04:14and their modus, pretending to be employees of a convenience store
04:18to rob their victim.
04:21Witness, Marisol Abdurrahman.
04:24A special operations unit of the QCPD
04:27arrested a group of people in a SUV.
04:30Later on...
04:36They were arrested at this checkpoint in Quezon City.
04:39The suspects were immediately arrested.
04:41We had a police operation, a drug net operation.
04:45They arrested the person who was at the checkpoint.
04:48According to the QCPD,
04:51According to the QCPD,
04:52this organized crime group involved in the robbery hold-up of convenience stores
04:57obtained from their getaway vehicle the following items,
05:00including guns, hammers, barretas de cabra, cell phones,
05:04uniforms of convenience stores,
05:06and their use in crime.
05:08They pretend to be employees.
05:13They entered undetected,
05:15undetected,
05:16or they were not secured,
05:18or they were not checked by the security guards there.
05:21They entered wearing...
05:23Even the vaults of convenience stores were robbed.
05:26That's why they have items.
05:28When they get out of the vehicle,
05:30the vehicle will disappear.
05:32Then,
05:34after committing the haze,
05:36they will take a taxi or jeep.
05:40It will go around, separate.
05:43Then they will go back.
05:44They will go back to the fortuner in the vehicle.
05:48That's where we got them.
05:49In the scope of the group's operation,
05:51they are not only committing crimes here in Metro Manila,
05:54but also in other regions,
05:56such as Region 3, 4, and even Cordillera.
05:59The suspects have previous cases.
06:02The leader is on the target list or watch list of the intelligence units of Region 3.
06:10And the two of them are formerly involved in fraud schemes.
06:17Most often than not,
06:18these will be our potential pugs in the coming elections.
06:23You are involved in the robbery hold-up?
06:25Yes.
06:27The authorities are still looking for 8 members of the group.
06:30The last suspects will be accused of committing a robbery hold-up
06:35and RA-10591 or Illegal Possession of Firearms and Explosives.
06:40For GMA Integrated News,
06:42Marisol Abdurrahman is your witness.
06:47There were also additional cases in Batangas
06:50of African Swine Fever or ASF.
06:53In Quezon City,
06:54the pigs were positive for ASF
06:56and were stopped at a checkpoint yesterday.
06:59The witness is Bernadette Reyes.
07:05It is up to the detectives to find out
07:07if these pigs were stopped at a checkpoint in Quezon City yesterday.
07:11The pigs that were transported from Sariaya, Quezon,
07:14tested positive for African Swine Fever or ASF.
07:18There were 87 pigs in one truck,
07:20while there were 60 pigs in the other.
07:23In another truck,
07:24there were 14 pigs who also tested positive for ASF
07:28but are still waiting for the test results.
07:31There is no official permit and documents for the pigs
07:34that are planned to be transported to some provinces in the north.
07:38It is concerning in the sense that it was proven positive
07:43when it arrived at their destination.
07:46For example, additional pigs will also be bought there.
07:49Viruses spread so easily.
07:52It only shows as well that our suspicions before
07:59that travelers are the main source of transmission of the virus
08:05can really be proven here.
08:07The DA will add more inspection sites
08:10to catch the pigs that are sick.
08:13Some of the pigs that were transported
08:15are already in the process of being inspected
08:18but there is nothing they can do if they don't follow the rules.
08:20It is really hard to travel with pigs.
08:23It should be done in ASF.
08:24Your papers should be complete.
08:28You won't be able to travel if you don't have enough papers.
08:32According to the DA,
08:33the steps they are taking are important
08:35to ensure a sufficient supply.
08:37If we do not vaccinate as soon as possible
08:40and save the number of pigs,
08:45then there will be a shortage of local pigs.
08:49But of course, there is always the option of importation.
08:52Of course, I don't want to import as much as possible.
08:55In Batangas, which is one of the most affected areas,
08:58ASF has spread to the town of Balayan and Malbar.
09:01Another town may also be added to the list
09:04as soon as the results of the tests come out.
09:08The problem is just starting.
09:10It's going to be more problems.
09:15There has been, of course, fast action by the Secretary.
09:19Probably, as we talked,
09:20another 1,000 or 5,000 are affected.
09:25That's why on Tuesday,
09:26the vaccination will start in Lobo,
09:29which is considered ground zero in Batangas.
09:32They call it ring vaccination.
09:35So if the patient is here,
09:38they will vaccinate the ring so that it won't spread.
09:4210,000 doses is too small for the whole.
09:48But if we can isolate 1, 2, 3 barangays,
09:51I think that's helpful already.
09:53But for the group Pork Producers Federation of the Philippines,
09:56the initial 10,000 doses are not enough
09:59compared to those affected by ASF.
10:02Just in Lobo, that's not enough.
10:05When we died, it was 10,000.
10:07They said the next one will be 600,000 doses.
10:13It's possible to vaccinate those who have an outbreak,
10:19but it's still not enough.
10:21That's why I'm saying that
10:23to have fast funds,
10:26the National State of Calamity should be declared.
10:29But Kalihim insisted that this is not necessary
10:32because the government is ready
10:34to buy 600,000 doses of vaccine.
10:37Aside from the government's vaccination program against ASF,
10:41inspection sites like this will continue until December
10:45if the pork demand is rising due to the holiday season.
10:49For GMA Integrated News, Bernadette Reyes, your news.
10:54The counter-affidavits were high.
10:56Mayor Alice Guo was dismissed
10:58for the complaint of qualified human trafficking
11:00compared to Pogo in Bambantarlac.
11:02But the DOJ is investigating
11:04if Guo really faced the notaries
11:06for his counter-affidavits.
11:09Saksi, Salima Refrans.
11:15Alice Guo still did not face the Department of Justice
11:18in the preliminary investigation
11:20for the complaint of qualified human trafficking
11:22in Pogo in Bambantarlac.
11:24But a motion was sent to reopen
11:27and admit counter-affidavit
11:29to the dismissed Bamban Mayor.
11:31Instead of the personnel who faced the panel of prosecutors,
11:34Guo nominated the counter-affidavits
11:36to a public notary
11:38in San Jose del Monte, Bulacan.
11:40Our rule is that
11:42people who want to submit affidavits to the P.I.
11:45should personally go and swear in front of the DA.
11:49He said that for his mental health and security,
11:52he wants to face the public notary
11:56instead of the DA.
11:58The DOJ believes that...
12:00Let's just give it to the prosecution panel.
12:02The DOJ was asked by the NBI
12:04to investigate
12:06if Guo really faced the notary.
12:09Find the notary
12:10and find out if Mayor Guo really faced him.
12:13Because maybe...
12:14Maybe it's just a coincidence.
12:15I hope not.
12:16But it's also possible.
12:17In his counter-affidavit,
12:19Guo also denied the complaint
12:21and asked for it to be trashed.
12:23The smear campaign against him
12:25was said to be politically motivated.
12:27It is said that he was involved in human trafficking
12:30after being a former stockholder
12:32of Baofu Land Development,
12:34the real estate company that invested
12:36in Zunyuan Technology.
12:38Zunyuan was the P.I.
12:40who was raided in Mamba last March.
12:42It can't be said that the electricity bill
12:44with his name on it is enough evidence.
12:47It is also said that he had nothing to do
12:49with Zunyuan or Hongsheng Gaming
12:52when the P.I. was first raided in Baofu Compound.
12:55His name was also not mentioned
12:57in the affidavit of the victims of human trafficking.
13:00It is also said that he was involved in trafficking
13:02during his tenure as the mayor of Bamban.
13:06Zunyuan's documents were complete
13:08so they were issued by the municipal permits.
13:11The former technology and livelihood resources center official
13:13Dennis Cunanan,
13:15who was a respondent of Guo,
13:17personally met with the prosecutors
13:19to ask for the evidence.
13:21He refused to give a statement.
13:23The PNP-CIDG and PAOK
13:25will receive the reply affidavit
13:27in the next hearing.
