NewsTranscript
00:00It is enough as a basis to complain under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea or UNCLOS on the destruction of Philippine ships in the new port of Escuadra Shoal.
00:25This is the story of Retired Supreme Court Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio.
00:30China and the Philippines purposefully let their ships go ashore.
00:34But the TCG rejected the claim that the Philippine ships were sunk and pierced.
00:40Witness, Chino Gaston.
00:45At 3.30 am earlier, the Philippine Coast Guard and BRP Bagacay and the China Coast Guard vessel 21551 went ashore in Escuadra Shoal.
00:55The China Coast Guard posted the video on the social messaging app.
00:59According to the TCG, the Chinese vessel went ashore twice, the BRP Bagacay and the China Coast Guard 3104.
01:06Another ship of the TCG, the BRP Cape Engaño, went ashore.
01:10It left a deep hole in the two ships.
01:14The damaged items inside the ship can also be seen.
01:17We can fairly say that this is the biggest damage, structural damage that we have incurred as a result of the dangerous maneuver carried out by the Chinese Coast Guard which resulted to collision.
01:31But the China Coast Guard posted a different video.
01:34They said that they purposefully let their ships go ashore in the post-Philippines.
01:39They also said that they suddenly let the TCG ship go ashore.
01:44But according to the National Task Force of the West Philippine Sea, the spliced and edited video from China can only be seen.
01:52It's a misleading video. It again shows China as the benevolent actor here.
01:58Allegedly they were conducting a law enforcement operation controlling the movement of the two ships
02:05when in fact it was not 4410 or BRP Bagacay who ramped 21551, it was the other way around.
02:1521551 in truth ramped our vessel BRP Bagacay two times.
02:21According to the TCG, the China Coast Guard 21551,
02:25who repeatedly ramped BRP Cabra in Ayungin Shoals in September of last year,
02:31was also the one chasing the BFAR vessel that sailed less than a month ago.
02:37BRP Bagacay and BRP Cape Engaño are part of the Rotation and Reprovision Mission in Patag and Lawak Islands in the West Philippine Sea.
02:45And even though they were damaged, they continued their mission.
02:48Maybe they were thinking that these 44-meter vessels will be reinforcing the presence of Teresa Maguan.
02:58Before the incident, China pre-noticed the presence of BRP Teresa Maguan in the Escoda Shoals
03:05because it was an entry point for their sovereignty.
03:09China has already visited diplomatic channels to stop the Philippines from entering and removing the ships there.
03:16But again, the PCG spokesperson for the West Philippine Sea, Commodore J. Tariela,
03:22said that the Philippines is in the Exclusive Economic Zone of the Escoda Shoals
03:26so the ships of the PCG have the right to remain there no matter how long.
03:31And they don't need permission from other countries.
03:35According to the retired Supreme Court Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio,
03:38the destruction of the ships of our Coast Guard is a good basis to complain under the United Nations Convention on the Laws of the Sea.
03:47The best thing since the Coast Guard is a civilian vessel.
03:55This is now governed by UNCLOS.
03:58It's unlike Union Shoals which is a military activity.
04:01This is a civilian activity.
04:03We can go to UNCLOS and sue China for damages
04:09and the tribunal will reaffirm that that is part of the EEZ.
04:14And that will again debunk China's 10-dash line.
04:17In a statement, U.S. Ambassador to the Philippines, Mary Kay Carlson,
04:22condemned the dangerous maneuvers of the China Coast Guard
04:25which put the lives of the crew in danger and destroyed two ships of the PCG.
04:29The U.S. supports the right of friends, allies and allies under the international law.
04:37For GMA Integrated News, I'm Chino Gaston of your Saksi.
04:42Another new in Saksi, the Bureau of Immigration also received information that Alice Guo left Malaysia last July.
04:50According to the BI, there is a basis to say that it is illegal for Guo to leave the country without going through an inspection and immigration.
04:57Saksi, I'm Mav Gonzalez.
05:03I'm a Filipino and moreover, I'm not a spy yet.
05:07In the Senate hearing on May 22, Alice Guo was released by the public.
05:12She was the mayor of Bamban, Tarlac.
05:14But after almost three months, she was dismissed by the Ombudsman as mayor
05:19because of her role in Pogo in Bamban.
05:21On June 25, the DOJ signed an Immigration Lookout Bulletin Order against Guo.
05:27In Guo's letter to the Senate on July 20,
05:30the mayor said that he is ready to face various cases against him.
05:34And on August 1, his lawyer said that Guo's detention is in the Philippines.
05:40But in the document obtained by Senator Rita Contiveros,
05:44Guo left the country on July 18, 2024 and arrived in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia last weekend.
05:50This is a match to her Philippine passport that I will flash now.
05:56Thank you very much to NBI for this information.
06:00They will continue to track down Alice Guo.
06:04From Malaysia, Guo continued to travel to Singapore to meet his family, according to the source of the committee.
06:10They ran into his parents, Lin Wenyi and Guo Jianzhong.
06:18The couple flew in from China on July 28, 2024.
06:23They had a short reunion there with Wesley Guo and Cassandra Ong.
06:31On the island where Guo was with,
06:34his brother Wesley Guo was also there and Pogo laughed at Cassandra Ong.
06:39Contiveros insisted that Guo will not leave the Philippines if there is no help from the government.
06:44What if the law enforcement itself needs to investigate?
06:50What if they drop the ball?
06:51What if they are the ones who should be held accountable?
06:55Some senators believe that Guo's flight was a chartered flight.
06:59It is clear which private plane or chartered plane left the country that very day from the Philippines.
07:06They will be tracked down there.
07:08And who are the CIQ, Customs, Immigration and Quarantine who processed their passports?
07:13If the flight number now registers to a chartered plane,
07:17then you can find out who owns the chartered plane.
07:19And since Mayor Guo is very popular,
07:24he will surely be recognized by the pilot who is their passenger.
07:29It is impossible not to be recognized.
07:31The captain can find or actually dismiss pilots
07:34in the failure to name the members in the manifesto.
07:39It is noteworthy that there is no photo of Guo's biometrics in the document obtained by Contiveros.
07:44If we enlarge the photo in the slide I showed earlier,
07:49his image was not captured in the CCTV.
07:53So he passed through the spot where his video image will not be caught.
08:00Maybe someone taught him.
08:02And not only here in our immigration,
08:05it is also possible in the immigration of other Asian countries.
08:08The Justice Department was informed that Guo is still in the Philippines
08:12and there is no report of an immigration that allowed him to leave.
08:14Guo was able to file a counter-affidavit that he was notarized on August 14
08:20and there are other law enforcement agencies that saw him after July 18.
08:24In addition to the DOJ,
08:26if Guo really left the country,
08:28a thorough investigation is needed to find out who should be held accountable.
08:32Senator Win Gatchalian said that
08:34his office checked the law firm that filed Guo's counter-affidavit
08:38and it is now revealed that the notary public, Atty. Elmer Galicia, lied.
08:41Guo Huaping personally went to him on August 14, 2024.
08:49We were really fooled because he went out and came back.
08:57Despite the fact that there is an arrest warrant,
09:02we did not notice it.
09:04We are now getting permission from Guo's camp,
09:07his law firm, and Galicia,
09:08the BIA and the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines,
09:12but they have not been arrested yet.
09:14The Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission is also investigating
09:17if the information is true
09:19while the NBI is contacting their counterparts in Malaysia and Singapore
09:23to verify it.
09:25For GMA Integrated News,
09:27Ma'am Gonzalez is your witness.
09:31According to the information obtained by the Bureau of Immigration
09:34on Guo's departure to Malaysia last July,
09:36the BIA said that on July 21,
09:39Guo went to Singapore with Sheila Leal and Wesley Leal-Guo.
09:44Although the name of Alice Guo is listed in the Immigration Lookout Bulletin Order,
09:49her departure from the BIA database is not recorded.
09:52The BIA also added that the group of Guo went to Indonesia.
09:57Cassandra Ong, on the other hand,
09:59left the country on June 11
10:01before the ILBO came out against her.
10:06The Health Department is concerned about community transmission
10:10or the spread of mpox,
10:12formerly known as monkey pox.
10:14This is after a man from Metro Manila was diagnosed with the disease.
10:17According to the DOH,
10:19the man said he did not travel abroad.
10:21He was diagnosed with a disease
10:23followed by a disease that waters the face,
10:26back, chin, and other parts of the body.
10:29This is the first case of mpox in the country
10:32after the World Health Organization declared the disease
10:34as an infectious disease.
10:36According to the DOH,
10:38wearing a face mask is not necessary
10:40because unlike COVID-19,
10:42airborne mpox is transmitted
10:44through close and intimate contact.
10:47The DOH often recommends washing your hands.
10:53We have mpox,
10:55but we should not worry
10:57because of COVID-19.
11:00We are worried because there are many of us who are uncertain
11:03and don't know.
11:05Mpox was first determined in 1957
11:09as an illness,
11:11and then it just went back and forth.
11:14But it's also good to be careful.
11:18The LGU suspended entry tomorrow
11:21due to a volcanic smog
11:23from the Taal Volcano.
11:25Other parts of Cavite,
11:27particularly the houses of Alfonso,
11:29Amadeo, Silang,
11:30Maui, Rosario,
11:32Indang, Maragondon,
11:34Tanza, Mendez,
11:36General Mariano Alvarez,
11:38Naic, Navaleta,
11:40General Emilio Aguinaldo,
11:42and Magallanes,
11:44as well as the houses of Trece Martires,
11:46Cavite City,
11:48Imus, Dasmariñas,
11:50General Trias,
11:52and Bacoor.
11:55Face-to-face classes in Laguna were suspended.
11:58All levels,
12:00public and private,
12:02as well as in Candelaria, Quezon,
12:05and Binangonan, Rizal.
12:09Watch Oscar Oida.
12:14Mpox spread to many places in Batangas.
12:17It spread to roads,
12:19volcanic smog or fog
12:21from the Taal Volcano.
12:23The smell of smoke is very bad.
12:25It got in here first.
12:26It got in here first.
12:28It also got in yesterday.
12:30It got in yesterday.
12:32It's worse now.
12:34It got in here first.
12:36The volcano is making smoke.
12:38We're afraid.
12:40More than 30 towns and villages
12:42were affected
12:44according to the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office,
12:47as well as the towns and villages
12:49surrounding the volcano
12:51where face-to-face classes were suspended
12:53and distance learning was conducted first.
12:56Out of 34 municipalities
12:58that we have,
13:00there are 4 cities.
13:02We know now
13:04that the wind is really bad.
13:07The fog happened
13:09because the volcanic gas of the Taal Volcano
13:11was trapped in the smog
13:13so it got caught in the smog.
13:15The wind is slow
13:17so the fog that we observed in Batangas
13:19is because of the slowing speed
13:22which prevented the sulfur dioxide
13:24from dissipating quickly.
13:26According to Education Secretary Sani Angara,
13:29the authorities are giving
13:31the affected schools in Calabarzon
13:33and Metro Manila
13:35to suspend physical classes
13:37if there is no warning from the LGU.
13:40Alternative learning modalities
13:42such as modular and online learning
13:44can be shifted.
13:46But according to PHIVOLCS,
13:48not only the fog is affecting Metro Manila
13:50but also the effect of local pollutants
13:52which is caused by the slow wind.
13:54This is the same thing
13:56that caused the fog in Batangas.
13:58The wind is slow
14:00not only in Batangas
14:02but also in Metro Manila.
14:04The wind is slow
14:06that prevented the local pollutants
14:08from dispersing vertically
14:10and causing them to stay at a lower level.
14:12DOH is reminding
14:14that if there is smog or fog,
14:16avoid going outside.
14:18Close all doors and windows.
14:20Cover your nose
14:22and wear N95 face masks.
14:24And drink plenty of water.
14:26For GMA Integrated News,
14:28I'm Oscar Oida.
14:30Saksi!
14:32In the first instance,
14:34Sandro Mulac accused the Senate
14:37of sexual harassment
14:39by Richard Cruz and Jojo Nunez.
14:41And in the middle of the hearing,
14:43Nunez was contempted.
14:45Saksi!
14:47Ma'am Gonzales.
14:49In the middle of the video conference,
14:51Sandro Mulac accused the Senate
14:54of sexual harassment
14:56by Richard Cruz and Jojo Nunez.
14:58He said that after their text exchange,
15:01he complained about the independent contractor
15:03of GMA Network, Jojo Nunez.
15:05He went to his room
15:07in a hotel in Pasay
15:09on the early morning of July 21.
15:11When he arrived at his room,
15:13Sandro Nunez arrived
15:15with another complainant, Richard Cruz.
15:17Cruz was drunk
15:19and was lying in bed.
15:21Nunez asked Sandro for wine.
15:23When asked what happened next,
15:25Sandro hesitated to answer.
15:27What else did he offer you?
15:29I don't know if I can say the whole details
15:32because it's really sensitive.
15:34Go ahead, say it.
15:36Your Honor, with all due respect,
15:39as mentioned earlier by Senator Padilla,
15:42um,
15:44the other party is not accepting the...
15:47Oh, you want to have it in an executive session?
15:49If we don't finish this,
15:51this will go on for a long time.
15:55You're wasting our time here.
15:57Are you going to talk or not?
15:59If not, I'm leaving.
16:01Sandro also held an executive session
16:03with the Senators.
16:05After this,
16:07he detailed what happened next.
16:10According to Sandro,
16:12Nunez was accused of drugs.
16:14I will charge you all using 500 Pesos bill.
16:17Jojo ordered him
16:18to take a piss.
16:20Is that how you call it?
16:22Yes, Your Honor.
16:24How many times
16:26did he tell you
16:28to take a piss?
16:31Um,
16:33about three times, Your Honor.
16:35You kept drinking wine
16:37until you got drunk.
16:39Did you feel weak?
16:41Yes, Your Honor.
16:43When the two of them
16:45told you to take a piss,
16:46what did you feel?
16:48Were you high?
16:50Did you feel weak?
16:53No, Your Honor.
16:55You lied down in the bed.
16:57Am I correct?
16:59I didn't lie down.
17:01I was pulled from the bed.
17:03Who pulled you from the bed?
17:05Jojo Nunez.
17:07Sandro refused to detail what happened
17:09but Nunez told him something.
17:11Is it true?
17:13Based on my investigation,
17:14Jojo Nunez told you
17:16what happened here stays here.
17:18Yes, Your Honor.
17:20Who told you that?
17:22Jojo Nunez, Your Honor.
17:24You were sexually harassed.
17:26Correct?
17:29Yes, Your Honor.
17:31Nunez and Cruz
17:33denied what Sandro said.
17:35You deny?
17:38Yes, Your Honor.
17:40We deny allegations.
17:42What did you do to the child?
17:44We did nothing wrong to Sandro, Your Honor.
17:47What did you do?
17:49He was there.
17:51We didn't do anything, Your Honor.
17:53Really?
17:55We socialized, Your Honor.
17:57That's not true, Your Honor.
17:59You didn't pity the child?
18:01Your Honor, with all due respect,
18:03please don't judge us.
18:05We are not convicted
18:07in the case that this has been filed.
18:09Why are you lying?
18:11We are not lying, Your Honor.
18:12We are also just defending
18:14our side.
18:16Nunez and Cruz denied
18:18that they have donated
18:20to a charitable institution
18:22chosen by the Mulac family.
18:24Senate President Pro Tempore,
18:26Jingoy Estrada,
18:28denied this to the affidavit of the victim
18:30and the witness,
18:32GMA Senior Vice President Atty.
18:34Annette Gozon Valdez.
18:36That's why the Senate Committee
18:38on Public Information and Mass Media
18:40condemned him.
18:42Objection to cite
18:44Mr. Jojo Nunez
18:46in contempt.
18:48Without any objection,
18:50the motion is approved,
18:52so ordered.
18:54Because of this,
18:56Nunez was detained by the Senate.
18:58Gerald Santos, a singer,
19:00was also cried when he heard
19:02that he was also a victim of rape in 2005.
19:04I was raped.
19:06You were raped?
19:08I was raped, Your Honor.
19:10The musical director?
19:12I was 15 years old at that time,
19:14Your Honor.
19:16I really don't have a strong heart.
19:18When the abuse happened to me,
19:20I really don't have a strong heart.
19:22I was just a contestant back then.
19:24He really has power over us,
19:26over me.
19:28That's why I wasn't able
19:30to say it right away.
19:32Gerald filed a case
19:34in the GMA Network
19:36five years after the incident.
19:38Based on the documents
19:39held by Estrada,
19:41the musical director was suspended
19:43and dismissed by the GMA.
19:45But Gerald said
19:47he felt that his career
19:49was already affected.
19:51This musical director
19:53is connected
19:55to other executives
19:57inside.
19:59So,
20:01I was heated inside.
20:03So, even though
20:05he left,
20:07he also left
20:09his focus on the network.
20:11In the end,
20:13Gerald was released
20:15from the GMA Artist Center
20:17and moved to another network.
20:19The GMA Network assured
20:21that it never covered up
20:23sexual harassment in the company.
20:25The investigation of Sandro's case
20:27continues and the two accused
20:29are in preventive suspension.
20:31GMA has had a policy
20:33against sexual harassment
20:35and we have been strict about it.
20:37Again, we have never covered up
20:39sexual harassment.
20:41They can go directly to legal,
20:43to HR,
20:45or to the office of the president.
20:47So, there are different avenues,
20:49Mr. Chair.
20:51So, we do not encourage
20:53any form of cover-up.
20:55In fact, if there is someone
20:57that is covering up the matter,
20:59we also file an administrative
21:01case against them.
21:03The GMA Network opposes
21:05all forms of abuse.
21:07In one statement,
21:09the GMA Network
21:11denies sexual harassment.
21:13In another statement,
21:15the GMA Network
21:17denies sexual harassment.
21:19The GMA Network
21:21denies sexual harassment.
21:23The GMA Network
21:25denies sexual harassment.
21:27The GMA Network
21:29denies sexual harassment.
21:31The GMA Network
21:33denies sexual harassment.
21:35The GMA Network
21:37denies sexual harassment.
21:39General Leonardo
21:40has just reached
21:41an agreement with the GMA
21:43about the issue.
21:44He also clarified
21:45the exposition
21:48by Gerald that he was expelled
21:50only after obtaining
21:51an early release
21:53from the GMA and its management contract.
21:55At the same time,
21:57he was released nearly simultaneously
21:59from the other TV networks.
22:01He went back after
22:03he finished telling his TV5 trash story in 2013.
22:04For GMA Integrated News,
22:05Mab Gonzalez is your special guest.
22:09Second Gentleman Attorney Manastas Carpio
22:12accused former Customs Intelligence Officer Jimmy Guban
22:16of embezzling Php 6.8 billion in shabu shipments in 2018.
22:21Vice President Sara Duterte's husband, Carpio,
22:25said allegations against him were baseless, malicious, and untruthful.
22:32He believed that he would be able to reach out to lawmakers
22:35who are politically motivated
22:36for the embezzlement of Php 6.8 billion
22:39and his accomplice, Congressman Paolo Duterte.
22:42He also accused Guban himself of saying
22:45that he was just doing his job
22:47when affidavits were submitted
22:49to the Senate Inquiry and Court Proceedings.
22:54In the middle of a raging river in Maasin, Iloilo,
22:57a man was trapped under a bridge.
23:00After a few minutes,
23:02someone jumped in to help the man escape.
23:06At first, he noticed that the water wasn't that deep.
