NewsTranscript
00:00The PNP continued its operation to issue an arrest warrant against Pastor Apollo Quibaloy,
00:18who they believe is still inside the compound of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ in Davao City.
00:24In the middle of this, the Temporary Protection Order of the Davao Regional Trial Court was issued.
00:29President Bongbong Marcos is adamant that there was no violation of human rights in the issuance of the arrest warrant.
00:36From Davao City, this is Sidel Chavez of GMA Regional TV.
00:40Sidel.
00:43We can still see the presence of the police inside and outside the KOJC compound here in Davao City.
00:52We can also see here behind me the presence of the policeman who is watching the entrance of the compound.
01:05This video was taken by some members of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ or KOJC
01:11at 4 o'clock this morning,
01:13when they heard the sound of the banging inside the Jose Maria College building inside the KOJC compound.
01:21The PNP first said that their ground-penetrating radar detected heartbeats from an underground bunker inside the compound.
01:31GMA Integrated News tried to confirm to the PNP that they are indeed inside the building,
01:38but they refused to give details of what is being done inside the compound.
01:43It is already day 4 of the police search for the 30-hectare compound
01:49in order to catch the KOJC founder Pastor Apolo Quiboloy and other accused.
01:54According to the PNP, they are having a hard time finding Quiboloy,
01:59so the operation was delayed, but they are convinced that he is just inside the compound.
02:05We just can't see the right entrance, so it is really hard. We were really prepared.
02:12The KOJC entered Davao Regional Trial Court
02:16to request a Temporary Restraining Order and Injunction against the PNP.
02:21It was also coincidental that Davao City RTC issued a Temporary Protection Order
02:28in favor of the KOJC that they requested back in July 1.
02:32The court ordered the police to stop any activity that is dangerous to life,
02:38freedom, security, and property of the petitioners.
02:41The court also ordered the PRO-11 to remove all barricades
02:47that block access to and from the compound.
02:50The court said that the restrictions and control imposed by the PNP-11
02:56over and within the compound of KOJC and GMC-FI
03:01noticeably trampled not only the property rights of the petitioners,
03:05its officers and members, but also the exercise of the religious freedom and academic rights.
03:11Our presence there is based on a valid warrant that was issued by the court
03:17and addressed in that address.
03:21And pending any order from the court that says
03:25Police Retirement Office-11 is ordered to vacate and stop the implementation of the warrant,
03:30then that will be the time that we're going to vacate.
03:36The TPO's departure was welcomed by members of the KOJC.
03:41Based on the interpretation of their lawyers,
03:44the court is now letting the police inside and outside of the KOJC compound.
03:49But the DILG and PNP said,
03:52I don't know what they're celebrating, but one thing is certain,
03:56that they're not stopping the implementation of the warrant.
04:01That's very clear.
04:03There's nothing to be worried about for now
04:06because what's in the protection order is clear.
04:10According to the PNP,
04:12they will only remove the barricades that are in accordance with the court's order.
04:16But the police will still remain deployed in the KOJC compound
04:22to serve the warrant of arrest against Kiki Buloy and the accused.
04:27Even so, the DILG and PNP will ask for clarification from the court
04:32in accordance with the issued order.
04:35We will not stop the implementation of the warrant of arrest
04:38and hopefully, we will be close to achieving our goal.
04:42The Commission on Human Rights reminded the PNP to exercise maximum tolerance.
04:48Their advice to the KOJC members is to avoid hurting others.
04:53The KOJC refused, saying that their members have a violent movement against the police.
04:59As for the members, they are not allowed to enter.
05:04Others are just sleeping on the streets.
05:06It's not true that the members are violent.
05:12They have allowed the police to enter the compound.
05:14They have allowed the police to search the premises.
05:17President Bongbong Marcos insisted that there was no overkill
05:20or excessive use of force and that there was no violation of human rights.
05:25I think what they are talking about is political.
05:30That's not true.
05:33You go to any human rights advocate, there's nothing that we did.
05:37All the police who entered were not armed.
05:40None of them had a gun.
05:42We did not use tear gas.
05:44We did not do that.
05:47So what is human rights violation?
05:49The President called on the pastors not to be one-sided supporters.
05:53They did not sign up to be in the front line of this kind of thing that's happening now,
05:59that they will protect him from arrest even when he has cases filed against him
06:04not only here in the Philippines but also in the United States.
06:08So I suppose I can understand their disagreement with us, even anger.
06:21But what all that the police are doing is enforcing the warrant of arrest against Apollo Kipulot.
06:36Pia Atom, tonight we were able to interview one of the ministers of KOJC, Carlo Catiil,
06:43and he told us about the hardship they went through inside the compound within four days.
06:50According to him, the members of KOJC were happy with the release of the TPO today
06:58because no matter what, they were able to get out and enter the compound.
07:04And live from Davao City, for GMA Integrated News, Cyril Chavez of GMA Regional TV, your witness.
07:14The Department of Transportation has given a month's notice for the full implementation of RFIDs in tollways.
07:21This means that in October, those who will pass through without RFIDs or if the load is not enough.
07:27And from NLEX, Sak Sila, Niko Wah.
07:37Pia, it's a big thing not only for motorists but also for toll operators,
07:41the implementation of a new guideline for toll expressways in October 1.
07:46It's different that even after a month, their RFIDs have already been issued.
07:55On August 31, IV knows that RFIDs will be fully implemented in tollways,
08:00where the cash lane will be removed.
08:02And all those who don't have enough RFIDs or if the load is not enough,
08:05will be fined if they pass through the expressways.
08:08Because NLEX always passes through Bulacan,
08:11it's a good thing that it will be installed today.
08:13It's very hassle for us that there will be a violation and of course, it's a hassle.
08:20So that's why we decided to do the installation of RFIDs.
08:24Godofredo is also like that.
08:26A month after buying the vehicle, he just thought of installing RFIDs
08:32to catch up with the August 31 implementation.
08:35Because we also saw on the internet that it's only a month, 31?
08:40It's already a month.
08:41Yes.
08:42That's why it's easy for us to install it.
08:45But the August 31 implementation of the revised guidelines for toll expressways
08:49included in the Joint Memorandum Circular No. 2024-01
08:53was first submitted by the Department of Transportation.
08:56On October 1, 2024, it will be fully implemented.
09:00In a month of waiting, the DOTR hopes that it will be used by tollway operators
09:05to improve their operation and strengthen the public information campaign
09:10regarding the new violations in the tollway.
09:12According to the Toll Regulatory Board, this is a big thing.
09:15This can be improved because the existing system flaws and equipment issues
09:28that are not yet resolved in our expressways can still be fixed.
09:36There is still a chance for everything to be fixed.
09:40And it will be better if our expressway operations can be improved.
09:44At the same time, we can guide and provide information
09:49to our motorist users on what to do.
09:54For motorists, there is a time to install.
09:58This is also a time for operators to improve their service.
10:02It should not be like today because it is slow.
10:05It should be fast.
10:07So that the RFI will not be completed.
10:14This is a good opportunity because you are giving them a chance to prepare.
10:18It has been raining for two hours here at Enlex Balintawak Toll Plaza.
10:28The slow-moving line of motorists is the line in the cash lane.
10:33This is the line that can be avoided if all motorists have RFID.
10:38There is a tent here to install RFID, but it is only for new applicants.
10:44However, if it rains like this, they will close it because the RFID does not stick to the vehicles.
10:51Live from Enlex Balintawak Toll Plaza, for GMA Integrated News, I am Nikuhahe, your witness.
11:00Before the witness, the heavy rainfall warning was raised in some parts of the country because of the heavy rain.
11:05The Metro Manila, Bataan, Zambales, and Rizal are under the advisory of Pag-asa.
11:10Heavy rain is expected in those areas, so be careful of possible floods.
11:15Rainfall is also expected in Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Quezon, Pampanga, Bulacan, Tarlac, and Nueva Ecija in the next three hours.
11:26In her first appearance in the Senate, Sheila Guo admitted that she was born in China.
11:31She also said that they are not real siblings.
11:34She dismissed Bamban Mayor Alice Guo.
11:37Witness, Salima Refran.
11:41How did Bamban Mayor Alice Guo get out of the country?
11:47According to Sheila, in her first appearance in the Senate,
11:50she and Alice and Wesley Guo agreed to go from the farm in Tarlac and transfer boats and ships.
11:58We just came from home.
12:03Then a vehicle hit us.
12:07What kind of vehicle?
12:09Van.
12:10Van, and then where did it take you?
12:13I don't know where the place is.
12:15Maybe we traveled for several hours.
12:19How many people were in the van?
12:21Three.
12:22Three? Who?
12:23The three of us.
12:24Who?
12:25Alice and Wesley.
12:27We will board the boat.
12:29What?
12:30We will board the boat.
12:32I think it was a fishing ship. I don't know.
12:35Fishing ship, because you saw some boats and fish?
12:40The last fish.
12:43Straight to Malaysia?
12:44Straight to Malaysia?
12:45No.
12:46From the Philippines?
12:47There's a change.
12:48Huh?
12:49There's a change.
12:50There's a bigger change.
12:51There's a change again.
12:53But Sheila doesn't know where they're going.
12:57When you left last night, did you know where you were going?
13:01No.
13:02You didn't ask?
13:04I asked.
13:05She said to me,
13:06She said,
13:07I'm sad.
13:08Come with me.
13:09We're going somewhere.
13:10She's mad at me.
13:11Don't ask me.
13:12Just come with me.
13:13Sheila's Philippine passport was not issued outside the Philippines.
13:18That's why the Senators and the authorities thought that the Go's passed through the backdoor.
13:23Her passport was just registered when she entered Sabah, Malaysia on July 18 before flying to Singapore.
13:31Sheila said that the three of them will be together until they arrive in Batam, Indonesia.
13:36When she arrived in Singapore on August 20,
13:40she was already caught with Cassandra Lee Ong,
13:43who was arrested by Pogo in Porak, Pampanga, Lucky South 99.
13:48Ong was not present at the Senate hearings.
13:50He was detained in a cell as a result of the released arrest order.
13:54I know that Wesley was the first one to be arrested in Singapore.
14:00I heard Cassandra Ong from Senator Issa earlier.
14:06Did you just meet her in Malaysia?
14:08Yes.
14:09You didn't meet her here in the Philippines?
14:10No.
14:11I only heard her name in the Philippines.
14:13How did you hear about her?
14:16From Wesley.
14:17What did Wesley say?
14:20She looks like his girlfriend.
14:22She looks like his girlfriend?
14:25That's okay.
14:26She's my girlfriend.
14:29Sheila denies having a connection with Pogo in Bambang.
14:32She also said that she doesn't know about the money laundering in the corporations of her family.
14:37She also said that she doesn't know about the connection between Alice and her other relatives.
14:42Sheila also admitted something different in her testimony.
14:45She said that she was not born in the Philippines.
14:47She also said that Alice is not her real sister.
14:51Guo Jiangzhong is not your biological father?
14:57He's not your biological father.
14:59Lin Wenhi is also not your biological mother?
15:01No.
15:02So Alice is not your biological sister?
15:05No.
15:06Why did you come to the Philippines?
15:08Lee Daddy told me to help him with his business.
15:13So it's not true that you were born here?
15:16No.
15:17Not me.
15:18Okay.
15:19So you said that when you came here in 2001, you came from China.
15:23Yes.
15:24So you were also born in China?
15:25Yes.
15:26Okay.
15:27Sen. Risa Ontiveros released Sheila's Philippine passport and her Chinese passport
15:32with the name Jiang Mier.
15:34It's irregular because there's no dual citizenship in China.
15:38There's also an NBI clearance with Sheila's name on it.
15:42But the picture is different.
15:46In the middle of all this, where is Alice Guo?
15:50Sheila said that she doesn't know.
15:53Where is Alice?
15:55We're separated. She's still in Indonesia.
15:58Is she still in Batang?
16:00I don't know because she left the hotel first.
16:03Based on the information of the Bureau of Immigration,
16:06the dismissed mayor is already in Jakarta, Indonesia.
16:11Based on the latest reports from me last night, Alice Guo is in Jakarta.
16:19The request for the deportation of Alice to the Philippines is still standing
16:26and the coordination of the Philippine immigration and Indonesian immigration is continuous.
16:34We would like to assure the committee that we are doing our best
16:41to bring her back as soon as possible.
16:43President Bongbong Marcos ordered an in-depth investigation
16:48in order to find an answer to the deportation of Guo.
16:51DOEJ, I was just with the secretary earlier today,
16:56is almost finished with a very thorough investigation
17:00and we will identify all of those who are involved in this
17:07and we will act very quickly.
17:08That's what the last part of this is.
17:12How far, how deep does it go?
17:14Is there only one person involved?
17:16Or are there many of them? Or is this a syndicate?
17:18That's what we're looking at.
17:20There are no sacred cows.
17:21For GMA Integrated News, I'm Sanne Marefran, your witness.
17:28The presentation of the budget of the Office of the Vice President to the Camera was postponed to September 10.
17:34In the hearing earlier, Vice President Sara Duterte and several congressmen testified.
17:39Witness Tina Panginiban Perez.
17:45Vice President Sara Duterte refused to answer any questions about confidential funds
17:51in the hearing of the Camera on the request of a budget of more than 2 billion pesos
17:55of the Office of the Vice President.
17:58She was subsequently replaced by ACT Teacher's Party List Representative in a position.
18:03You should have reminded her when she said the line, right?
18:07I called your attention, Madam Chair.
18:09You did not recognize me.
18:11So now, I will say it.
18:13If you allowed her that, you allowed me a snide comment as well.
18:18Madam Chair, I would like the Secretariat to repeat the first three lines of the comments.
18:27Well, a point of order, Madam Chair.
18:30So, let's please proceed with the answer, Madam Chair.
18:33A point of order, Madam Chair, because she is the one presiding.
18:36She needs to be explained.
18:38So, she can't use tactics like, sorry for the mosquito,
18:46that when the mosquito is attacked, it uses black ink.
18:51Why are you crucifying me for saying a fact
18:56that somebody is convicted of child abuse sitting in a chair?
19:06Mosquito?
19:07A congressman motioned to erase the records of the Camera
19:11on Castro's visa for child abuse,
19:15which was erased by a large number of congressmen.
19:18There was also a motion to erase the records of the visa for the mosquito
19:24and Castro said that the confidential funds were illegally used,
19:28but it was defeated by a vote.
19:31According to the Commission on Audit,
19:33more than P73 million out of P125 million confidential funds
19:38of the OVP in 2022 were disallowed
19:42because the documents submitted were not enough.
19:45Almost P70 million were paid as bribe
19:49or bought by various goods and medicines.
19:53I hope she can take a bath, Madam Chair.
19:56Thank you, Madam Chair.
19:58She may not like my answer.
20:02She may not like how I answer.
20:05She may not like the content of my answer,
20:09but I am answering.
20:12One of the allies of the visa is defending.
20:14We have already taken action by removing the confidential funds
20:20of the Vice President in the 2024 budget.
20:24So I submit again, Madam Chair,
20:27if we're talking about oversight, yes,
20:30there is oversight of any house committee,
20:33but not during the budget hearing of a specific year's budget.
20:38The President's Chairperson explained that confidential funds of 2022 are important
20:46because it will affect their decision on the OVP budget next year.
20:52Item number three is comparative budget allocation and utilization rate
20:58from fiscal year 2019 to 2023.
21:02That's item number three.
21:05So I can provide you copies of the letter.
21:08So clearly, confidential funds spent in 2022
21:14is squarely within that.
21:16VP Sara also requested that Kimbo be replaced as the Presiding Chairperson.
21:21Please act in a respectful manner.
21:24I'm sorry.
21:25The firing of the Presiding Officer of this hearing is not in your power.
21:32I cannot fire the Presiding Chair.
21:34So why?
21:36Yes, we...
21:37Why is this so one-sided?
21:38No.
21:39Is it because there are many of you on the other side and I'm alone here?
21:44The question was called a vicious attack.
21:47We saw the timelines and we saw the script
21:53in the narrative of the attack on the Office of the Vice President
21:57with regard to confidential funds.
21:59Absolutely no plan, any conspiracy, if I may use that word,
22:06to attack, if I also may use that word.
22:11We're just here to dilute the budget.
22:14She accused the House of Representatives of speaking
22:17to impeach her for not listening to some congressmen
22:21whom she did not want to nominate.
22:23I will not violate the confidence of a few members of the House of Representatives
22:28who have either recorded conversations or participated in shared conversations
22:35regarding impeachment proceedings against me.
22:41For GMA Integrated News, Dina Panganiban Perez is your witness.
22:48Now that the troops in Escoda Shoal were unable to resupply
22:51due to China's blockade,
22:53the supply of food to the BRP Teresa Magbanwa is critical
22:56according to the Philippine Coast Guard.
22:58But the PCG's gate did not leave Escoda Shoal
23:01to ensure that China will not occupy it.
23:04Witness Joseph Moro.
23:11The China Coast Guard Vessel 21551
23:13which was one of the BRP Datu Sanday this Sunday
23:17China Coast Guard, what are you doing? Stop it!
23:21and the BRP Bagacay on August 19.
23:25GMA Integrated News also witnessed the resupply mission
23:28headed by BRP Teresa Magbanwa since Escoda Shoal yesterday.
23:33China Coast Guard Vessel 3104 also witnessed
23:36the BRP Datu Sanday helping last Sunday.
23:39Food, drinks, and other important supplies
23:42were brought by BRP Cape Ingano and BRP Cabra of PCG.
23:46There was also ice cream as a treat
23:48for the troops of Teresa Magbanwa.
23:50But according to PCG, 40 ships of China,
23:53including their warships and CCG,
23:55circled BRP Cabra and Cape Ingano.
23:58Last Sunday, we also witnessed the CCG
24:01and Maritime Militia Vessels surrounding
24:03BRP Teresa Magbanwa when we joined
24:07the Maritime Domain Awareness Patrol of PCG and PFAR.
24:10According to PCG, the food supply to the ships
24:13was already critical.
24:14Last supplies were left in the first half of August.
24:17Until this morning, the ships of China were still
24:20crowded in the area.
24:23The Philippine Coast Guard assured that
24:25the Philippines will not remove its presence
24:28in Escoda or Bina Shoal in front of the border
24:31of what China can do in the area.
24:34That is the commitment of the Commandant.
24:37Commodore J. Tarielan appointed
24:39the National Task Force on the West Philippine Sea
24:42as the upcoming standoff in 2012
24:44in Bajo de Mocindok or Scavor Shoal
24:46between the Philippines and China.
24:48The two countries agreed to retreat
24:51but only the Philippines followed.
24:54Now, China has effective control
24:56in Bajo de Mocindok and is no longer
24:58allowed to enter by the Filipinos.
25:00The 2012 standoff has taught us one thing.
25:05The moment we left Bajo de Mocindok,
25:08we were not able to return.
25:10The Philippine Coast Guard will not be leaving Escoda Shoal
25:13until such time that we are certain
25:16that the Chinese government is not going
25:19to permanently occupy Escoda Shoal.
25:21Compared to Bajo de Mocindok,
25:23Escoda Shoal is 75 nautical miles
25:26or 140 kilometers away from Palawan.
25:30The Philippine Navy and Coast Guard
25:33have a resupply mission to the Union Shoal
25:35where the BRP Sierra Madre is located.
25:37If ever Escoda Shoal were to leave us,
25:40that would be very easy for China
25:43and then let's say they occupy it,
25:45that would be very easy for China
25:47to prevent whatever resupply operation
25:50that we intend to carry out in the Union Shoal
25:53because they can basically block it on both sides.
25:57After the subsequent incidents of China's harassment,
26:00according to the Defense Department,
26:02it is time to expand the mutual defense treaty
26:05between the Philippines and America.
26:08This does not mean that the Philippines
26:11should have an armed attack against the public vessels
26:14before helping America.
26:16The public gets fixated on that.
26:19So I think we should broaden our understanding
26:25We should broaden the scope of the MDT
26:29to face a dynamic and cunning adversary.
26:32Armed attack is defined diplomatically,
26:35not legally, by either equal sovereign partner
26:42within the alliance.
26:44And Article 3 of the treaty calls for consultations.
26:49The U.S. Coast Guard is ready to help
26:53It is time to invoke the mutual defense treaty.
26:56The whole point of rules on the water
26:58is so that we don't run into each other.
27:00And so this is a clear act of bullying by one individual
27:04that wants to exert its influences over another nation.

28:46For GMA Integrated News,
28:49J.P. Soriano is your witness.
28:58Despite a sweet success,
29:00the P-POP Kings, SB19,
29:03admitted that they were about to disband in 2019.
29:11It's really tiring to dream.
29:13Well, it's tiring, especially when you don't have anyone to support you.
29:18It came to a point where they question themselves.
29:22The group is aware of their plans to bash them,
29:25but they don't give up.
29:27They know that the love and support of the A-Team,
29:31or their fans, is growing.
29:33Their dream now is not just for SB19,
29:36but for the entire P-POP that is known around the world.
29:44Ibrahim is back!
29:46Ruru Madrid will once again give life to that character
29:49in Encantada Chronicles' Sangre.
29:52In Sangre's IG post,
29:54Director Mark Reyes saw a photo
29:56of Ruru and Kylie Padilla together
29:59as Amiha.
30:02He redirected their love story, Ibrahim and Amiha,
30:06as if there was a continuation.
30:14In the United Kingdom,
30:16amateur wrestlers were together.
30:18But instead of in the ring,
30:20the wrestlers were fighting in the gravy pool.
30:2416 men and 8 women
30:26competed in the World Gravy Wrestling Championships.
30:30This gave each of them a chance to win
30:33because they were good at entertaining
30:36and their costumes were unique.
30:38After the game,
30:40the wrestlers could use the fire hose of the firemen.
30:43There was also an event
30:45where money could be used for charity.
30:47That's not true.
30:49Chicken is a waste
30:51before you use the fire hose.
30:53That's true.
