00:00It is possible that the heavy rains will continue for a few more days.

00:04The rains last night and this morning were heavy and flooded various places.

00:10Joseph Moro witnessed it.

00:16High water levels on the road and the debris and the scattered garbage

00:19were what flooded the motorists this morning in various parts of Quezon City.

00:24On the other hand, some cyclists and motorists were forced to cross Araneta Avenue to get to work.

00:30It's hard to cross.

00:32The water is still deep.

00:37The water doesn't reach anywhere.

00:39What happened to your motorcycle?

00:41It's broken. It's deep.

00:43But the jeepney and tricycle drivers in Caloocan City also have a shortage of water.

00:48I don't have a passenger and I don't have electricity.

00:51I don't have a boundary. I don't have food for my family.

00:54I don't have money.

00:56There's a huge shortage of water.

00:59Earlier this afternoon, in the area of Montinlupa, the traffic was slowed down due to the floods.

01:05It also flooded around Tuliahan River in Malabon City.

01:08The water reached a critical level of 12.3 meters in the river

01:13in the area of Tinejeros Bridge until 6 in the morning.

01:17The water level in Marikina River reached 14.4 meters earlier this morning

01:22near the first alarm of 15 meters.

01:25This afternoon, the water level in Marikina River reached only 13 meters.

01:30However, according to Mayor Marci Chudoro,

01:33the Caloocan Rescue 161 was alerted in the event of heavy rain.

01:37They say it's not just a storm or a flood, but a lot of rain.

01:43There's a new normal.

01:45That's why we're monitoring the volume of rainfall.

01:50Not only here in Marikina, but also in the upstream communities.

01:53We don't want it to suddenly rain heavily.

01:58They hope that their advisories will be given earlier

02:02so that they can be more prepared.

02:04Maybe they can give it earlier.

02:08In advance.

02:09In advance, or if not in advance,

02:12there's a time to prepare.

02:16There's a lead time.

02:18We experienced that earlier.

02:21We were really surprised.

02:24Here in Pagasa, we are taking this data that we received very carefully.

02:30We're also taking care of releasing the forecasts.

02:33It's also crucial to do it early.

02:35At the same time, we feel that on our end,

02:37it's just right to have heavy rainfall on the night before.

02:42The flood level is slowly rising after reaching 80.16 meters.

02:50According to Pagasa,

02:51Southwest Monsuno, Hanging Habagat,

02:54brought rain in Metro Manila and nearby provinces.

02:58It's possible that the rainy season will last until the weekend.

03:02If it rains in the next 2 to 3 days because of the current Habagat,

03:06it won't be as bad as the enhanced Habagat of Baguio-Carina.

03:12For GMA Integrated News, I'm Joseph Morong, your witness.

03:18The Department of Justice filed several cases

03:21against the so-called sibling of dismissed Bamban Mayor Alice Kuo,

03:25Sheila, and her business partner, Cassandra Ong.

03:28Aside from the possible money laundering case against the two,

03:32witness Cicely Merefran.

03:37They look alike, but their names are different.

03:40Sheila Leal Kuo was placed in a passport from the Philippines.

03:44Jiang Mier was placed in a Chinese passport that was obtained from her

03:48when she was in Indonesia.

03:50Now, she's being sued by the National Prosecution Service.

03:53The so-called sibling of dismissed Bamban Mayor Alice Kuo

03:57was accused of using a false Philippine passport.

04:00In a Senate hearing yesterday,

04:02Sheila said that she obtained the Philippine passport from her father.

04:06My father gave it to me.

04:08He said, that's your passport.

04:11If you're going to travel, that's what you're going to use.

04:21You admit that your birth certificate is fake.

04:24I don't have it because my father gave it to me.

04:27Sheila was also accused of disobedience to summons

04:30because she did not attend the Senate hearings.

04:33This is also the case that was recommended against her partner, Cassandra Ong,

04:37because she did not attend the previous hearings.

04:41Ong was also accused of obstruction of justice

04:44for harboring, concealing, or facilitating the escape of a criminal offender.

04:49The part of the prosecutors saw enough evidence

04:52because in our new rules,

04:54in the reasonable certainty of conviction,

04:57all elements of the crime must have supporting evidence.

05:02According to the DOJ, the so-called cases are bailable.

05:05But there are still cases being prepared that are more serious than the two.

05:10This week, a money laundering case will be filed.

05:13The qualified trafficking against Cassie,

05:17for corruption, is still ongoing.

05:22The Department of Justice is still investigating

05:24how Alice Guo got out

05:26and who helped her siblings.

05:30The DOJ is investigating the statement of Senator Risa Ontiveros

05:34in yesterday's hearing,

05:36that there is information that the siblings of Guo

05:39were involved in a big deal to get out of the country.

05:43It is estimated that 200 million pesos were spent by the Guo family

05:48to get Alice out.

05:51I really don't know how this happened.

05:54But maybe, to be able to move that fast

05:58and that early without being noticed,

06:02these people really spent money.

06:07In Sheila's story in yesterday's hearing,

06:10Alice and Wesley were transported by boat

06:13until they arrived in Malaysia.

06:15But Secretary Remulia doubts this.

06:17I don't know a lot of things about her.

06:20I can't believe that she doesn't know.

06:23Because she's been in the Philippines for a long time.

06:25She can read the road signs, where they are.

06:28She's used to a good lifestyle.

06:31She can't do that.

06:32She was even in a fishing boat.

06:33She was in a fishing boat for three days.

06:35How could she sleep there?

06:36We are asking the DOJ to release the statement of the Guo family.

06:39For the GMA Integrated News,

06:41this is Nima Refrang of Inyong Sexy.

06:45According to Sheila's lawyer, Atty. Stephen David,

06:48they will answer all the allegations

06:50once they receive the summons.

06:55Police Lt. Col. Jovi Espinido,

06:58the former PNP chief and now Senator Bato de la Rosa,

07:02was charged with following the quota and reward system

07:04in Oplan Tukhang

07:06as well as the murder of those on the drug list.

07:09De la Rosa denied the charges.

07:12Witness Tina Panganiban Perez.

07:17In the hearing in the Chamber

07:19regarding the alleged extrajudicial killing

07:21during the Duterte administration,

07:24the poster boy of the War on Drugs

07:27faced the Quadcom Panel of the four House Committees.

07:30In his testimony,

07:32Police Lt. Col. Jovi Espinido said

07:35that there was a quota system

07:37followed by the Philippine National Police

07:39in Oplan Tukhang

07:41as well as the murder of those on the drug list.

07:44The other quota and reward system,

07:49all the police know that

07:53there is a reward for killing.

07:58If someone on the watch list dies,

08:00there is a reward system to be given.

08:03Your Honor, Mr. Sir Maski,

08:05whether it is a crime or not,

08:07whether it is a real crime or not,

08:10that is my understanding

08:14of the two types of reward and quota.

08:18Espinido said that the leader of the PNP

08:20is behind all of this,

08:23from the former PNP chief

08:25and now Senator Bato de la Rosa.

08:27Your Honors, from the chief PNP

08:30down to the chief of police, Your Honors.

08:34You mentioned the word chief PNP.

08:37Who is the chief PNP at that time, Mr. witness?

08:40Police General, Director General Bato de la Rosa, Your Honors.

08:46Senator de la Rosa did not monitor the hearings in the camera,

08:50but he is against what Espinido said.

08:53Do all the illegal means

08:56to contain the drug problem in the area.

08:59That's why I assigned you to work on the drug law.

09:03I did not say that I assigned you there

09:05to kill all the addicts there.

09:07Kill all of them.

09:09I did not say that.

09:11Espinido also mentioned that there are intel funds

09:14that were used in the drug war.

09:16So we confirm, Colonel,

09:19that this POGO has a basis

09:22and there are orders to fund

09:26the reward system that came from POGO

09:30as you mentioned in paragraph 40.

09:38Is this correct?

09:39This is our current Senator, Senator Bongo.

09:42That's the information I received from Mayor Annabarro, Your Honors.

09:46There is also written here

09:49that intelligence funds fund the reward system

09:53that you mentioned in your affidavit.

09:54How do you know that it also came from intelligence funds?

09:59That's the message that we heard, Your Honors,

10:04from our police

10:05that we will get for the funds of the reward system.

10:12Your Honors.

10:13Senator Bongo is a gate.

10:15He has nothing to do with POGO

10:17and with what Espinido said

10:19about the reward system in the drug war.

10:22He admitted to Espinido

10:24that he has no direct evidence

10:26to say that GO has a connection

10:28to any POGO drug war links.

10:31GO's gate.

10:32POGO is also not connected to the War on Drugs

10:35of the previous administration.

10:37It was only forced to include the POGO narrative

10:41in the drug war.

10:42The Quadcom attempted

10:44Bureau of Corrections Senior Superintendent Gerardo Padilla

10:48because of his failure to answer the questions of congressmen.

10:51Padilla was the warden of Davao Prison and Penal Farm

10:55when two inmates were killed

10:57by three Chinese drug lords.

11:00According to some inmates who investigated the Quadcom,

11:03Padilla knew the transfer of one cell

11:06to five inmates

11:07so that they could commit the murder.

11:09Padilla will be held not in a cell

11:13but in Bicutan City Jail for 30 days.

11:16Padilla denied the allegation.

11:19The Senate introduced

11:21the former House Speaker Jose de Venecia.

11:24De Venecia was given a copy of the resolution

11:27that gives credit for his career

11:29and unparalleled contribution to the country.

11:32His wife Gina de Venecia

11:34was with the former Speaker.

11:36In their meeting,

11:38the Senators congratulated

11:40De Venecia on social reform,

11:42MNLF peace talks,

11:44and politics.
