00:00The storm is getting stronger as it moves away from the Philippine area of responsibility according to the forecast.
00:20But it is expected that it will continue to rain in the next few days.
00:24Until now, many places in Luzon are still flooded.
00:27According to a barangay near Laguna de Valle, Niko Wahe is a witness.
00:32Niko?
00:37Atompia is still flooded here in Barangay De La Paz in Binan, Laguna.
00:41Unlike other places where the water rises quickly when it rains,
00:45here, the rain lasts for a week.
00:47Sometimes, it lasts for a month.
00:50Barangay De La Paz, Binan, Laguna
00:55Barangay De La Paz, Binan, Laguna is one of the places near Laguna de Valle.
01:00That's why if it continues to rain heavily like in Baguio-Enteng,
01:03it will only last for a minute and it will be flooded.
01:06Today, it didn't rain that much but the flood is still high.
01:10Actually, the water just stayed in the canals.
01:13It has been a problem for a long time.
01:17Aside from being in a low place, they are also near Laguna.
01:24Once the water level in Laguna de Valle is high,
01:33the water automatically goes to residential areas.
01:37The barangay is also next to the river.
01:39That's why they are the catch basin when it rains.
01:42The residents have nothing to do.
01:44We are used to it.
01:46We are just here.
01:50No matter how fast the flood enters the barangay,
01:53the water level in Laguna de Valle is already high.
01:58That's why if the water can't reach the canal and the floodway,
02:02it will last for a week.
02:05Sometimes, it lasts for a month.
02:08The last flood didn't last for a long time.
02:12It lasted for two weeks.
02:14But as of the moment, before the last flood came,
02:18we were able to recover.
02:20Actually, it was already gone.
02:22Suddenly, the last flood came.
02:24So, it's back to zero.
02:26The residents of Barangay De La Paz are used to the constant flooding.
02:30They have learned to adjust to the time.
02:32The houses here, if it's not high, have a second floor.
02:36Because of this road, the flood reaches up to their necks.
02:40Luisa's house was flooded.
02:42She can't move because of the stroke.
02:45It's not just a week. It's been a month.
02:49How many months?
02:51A month.
02:52One month?
02:53Yes.
02:54It started in August.
02:56And now, it's really hard.
03:00It's a good thing that she can't reach the sofa she's lying on.
03:03Despite the flood, many residents are still looking for food.
03:09Like Mads.
03:10She has a shop selling gulaman and popcorn.
03:12It's for food.
03:14It's for buying rice and vegetables.
03:19She has been living here for two decades.
03:21And she experienced the worst flood in Barangay De La Paz.
03:24Like Mads.
03:25The residents are still alive.
03:27The barangay and the houses are struggling to provide food.
03:32I go inside.
03:33Sometimes, I just walk.
03:35We are banking here.
03:38It's really hard when it rains.
03:46Atompia doesn't like evacuating the residents here.
03:49That's why the rescue team of the barangay is always on standby
03:52to evacuate the residents in case the water level rises.
03:56And live from Binan, Laguna,
03:58for GMA Integrated News, I'm Nico Aje, your witness.
04:03It's expected that the water level will rise tomorrow in Magat Dam.
04:06The next day, there was a heavy downpour.
04:08The rescue team is still looking for a fish from Aurora
04:12that was caught by Tom Viernes before the flood.
04:15I'm your witness, Ian Cruz.
04:20The residents are trying to rescue the fish from the river
04:24in Adanan, Isabela.
04:26The fish are dead.
04:29According to the barangay, the water level suddenly rose in the river
04:33so the fish are not sick.
04:36The Bacolod Bridge in Ilagan City can't be seen because of the flood.
04:43The same is the case in the town of San Agustin.
04:45The overflow bridge in Sinawangan Norte can't be crossed.
04:50In Dinalungan, Aurora, Jessica can't stop thinking and looking for her husband
04:56after his wife, Egay, didn't come home this Friday.
05:00It's hard.
05:01It's hard.
05:05I don't know if Ian is still alive.
05:07He's dead.
05:12But...
05:14But I still hope that Ian is alive.
05:16Yesterday, Roger went home.
05:18And there's another boat with three other fish.
05:21But Egay is not with them.
05:23We only saw the light at around 8.
05:26That's the only light we saw.
05:28But it was far away.
05:30Then the light changed.
05:33We only saw the light at around 8.
05:37There was no light.
05:38The local government of Dinalungan is planning to conduct a search and rescue.
05:45More than 50 residents were evacuated to Peñaranda, Nueva Ecija
05:49because of the rising water level from Peñaranda Dam.
05:53The river also overflowed so the roads in Saguday, Quirino Province were not passed.
06:00In Sadanga, Mountain Province, there was a landslide on Bonto Kalinga Road last night.
06:05Clearing operations were carried out there and the road was immediately passed.
06:10But the landslide in Cervantes Road, Ilocos Sur was also an issue.
06:15Some motorists were stranded.
06:19In Banquet, Abra, the wind and rain were strong because of the heavy rain.
06:25Some parts of Calacio, Pangasinan were flooded
06:28and some residents were forced to swim in the water.
06:31Some houses were also flooded.
06:35The Office of Civil Defense Region 2 also issued a warning
06:38that the water will flow out of the reservoir.
06:42The spillway will open at 2 p.m. on September 4.
06:46For GMI Integrated News, I am Ian Cruz.
06:51The Kingdom of Jesus Christ accused the police
06:54of raiding the basement of a house in their compound.
06:58The PNP suspected this.
07:01Argyle Relator of GMA Regional TV witnessed this.
07:07The Kingdom of Jesus Christ showed the footage of the raid
07:12in the basement of a house inside the KOJC compound in Davao City.
07:17It was sent to Attorney Israelito Torreon,
07:20a lawyer of the group, who did not inform him.
07:24The raid in the basement of Jose Maria College was 8 meters high
07:28so the house was already in danger.
07:31The PNP suspected the so-called raid in the compound.
07:40With the media, Attorney Torreon went to the place.
07:44Allow us access to JMC basement.
07:47I have been requesting you for a few days
07:50to confirm if that raid is true.
07:53Until now, you have not answered.
07:56He tried to enter the basement, but the group was stopped by the police.
08:00Your officers are only allowed to arrest warrants.
08:04That is not a search warrant.
08:06You do not have the right to conduct mining operations there.
08:10The team leader went out.
08:12If I get hurt here, I will file a case against you.
08:16If I get hurt here, I will file a case against you.
08:18We are not forcing you to come here.
08:20We are just standing here.
08:25In a statement, Attorney Torreon pointed out
08:28that the PNP still does not see the so-called tunnel
08:31after 11 days of mining.
08:34So there is no basis and the PNP's belief
08:38that they are looking for the KOJC founder,
08:42Pastor Apollo Quibuloy.
08:44But the PNP still believes that Quibuloy is in the compound.
08:48Until now, we believe that he is there.
08:51We trust him.
08:53There is always time for everything.
08:57It will come.
08:58As I said earlier, we will catch him.
09:01The police will not stop until they catch Pastor Quibuloy
09:06who is facing child abuse and human trafficking charges.
09:09We have a direct entrance to my children.
09:15But we will not let them in.
09:17We will not let them in.
09:21Let's remember why we are here.
09:25According to Torreon,
09:26there is no need for a search warrant for their presence in the KOJC compound.
09:31There is no search warrant here.
09:33The search warrant is for gangsters and smugglers.
09:37We have nothing to say.
09:39We will not let them inside the KOJC.
09:41In the middle of the search for Pastor Quibuloy,
09:43the Commission on Human Rights monitors and investigates
09:47if human rights are violated.
09:49As far as we know,
09:51freedom of religion is violated
09:53or the freedom of members to live their beliefs.
09:57In the midst of the PNP's prohibition
10:00to use their cathedral
10:02and to place a cordon around it,
10:04the Commission reminds that the police operation should be limited
10:08to carrying out an arrest warrant
10:10and not a search warrant for their presence in the compound.
10:12It should be carried out according to the law
10:15and the principles of human rights.
10:17However, the Commission urges the Pastor
10:20to fulfill his promise
10:21that he will face any charges against him
10:24wherever and whenever.
10:26The Commission also reminds the KOJC members
10:29not to stop the police from their duty
10:32to carry out an arrest warrant for Quibuloy.
10:35For GMA Integrates and Dukes,
10:37I am R. E. Gil Relator of GMA Regional TV,
10:41your Saksi.
10:45According to the lawyer of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ,
10:47Attorney Israelito Torreon,
10:49the PNP Region 11 Chief,
10:52Police Brigadier General Nicolas Torre III,
10:55allowed Pastor Apollo Quibuloy to walk around their compound.
10:59And Torreon, if Quibuloy is just walking around the compound,
11:03why does he need to destroy the foundation of Jose Maria College?
11:07Torre also agreed that his family is facing a death threat
11:11and that he is the only way to hide their involvement in the mission
11:16by asking for sympathy from the public.
11:22Even if the storm is far away in the country,
11:24it is still felt.
11:25Its effect is in some parts of the country
11:27and in some parts of the country.
11:29It is expected that the Philippine Area of Responsibility
11:33will be outside tomorrow morning
11:35if the movement continues.
11:38Based on the data of Metro Weather,
11:40a large part of Luzon will experience a rainy season.
11:43There is still heavy rain that could flood
11:47or cause landslides,
11:48so residents should be alert.
11:51Some places in Visayas and Minanau
11:53may experience rain in the afternoon.
11:56In Metro Manila, there is still a high chance of rain,
11:59so do not forget to bring an umbrella
12:01if you really need to go out of the house.
12:07More than 200 Chinese ships
12:09were seen in the West Philippine Sea last week.
12:12According to the Philippine Navy,
12:14this is the largest number of Chinese vessels
12:17that were seen there this year.
12:19Most of them were monitored by the Escoda Show,
12:21where the Chinese Coast Guard and the Chinese Navy
12:25and 53 Chinese maritime militias were seen.
12:29According to the Navy,
12:30it is possible that the Escoda Show
12:32where the Philippine Coast Guard and the Philippine Navy
12:35are anchored,
12:36is the source of the Chinese ships.
12:37But despite the large number of Chinese ships,
12:40the Navy believes that
12:41their stay in the West Philippine Sea is illegal.
12:46Pope Francis arrived in Indonesia
12:48for the first part of his Asia-Pacific tour.
12:51On his first day in Indonesia,
12:53Pope Francis greeted the refugees and the needy.
12:57He also attended an interfaith meeting
13:00at the largest mosque in Southeast Asia.
13:03He will also visit the outgoing President Joko Widodo
13:07and hold a mass in Jakarta.
13:09The Holy Father will also visit
13:11Timor-Leste, Papua New Guinea, and Singapore.
13:14One of his companions on the papal trip
13:16is the former Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagli.
13:19For JMA Integrated News,
13:21I'm your host, John Consulta.
13:23Saksi!
13:26Burnt?
13:27Burnt even more.
13:28Not yet fully recovered from the fire of a month ago.
13:31Some evacuees even found floods in Baco Orcavite.
13:35Even the relief goods given to them were also submerged.
13:38Saksi!
13:39Marisol Abdurrahman!
13:44Libre Firming!
13:45Wherever it flooded,
13:46the high tide reached there.
13:48The tents of the evacuees were submerged in a cover port
13:51in Zapote, Baco Orcavite.
13:53The tide was twice as high as before
13:55after they left their homes in Surul
13:58a month ago.
13:59The evacuees just cried
14:01like the five-month-old girl, Roda.
14:03It was so hard.
14:07Then the children...
14:10They were burnt and then they were carried away.
14:12When we were burnt,
14:13it was around 1 or 6 o'clock
14:15when everyone went to sleep.
14:17When it flooded,
14:18it was around that time.
14:19It was already dusk.
14:20The relief goods were also submerged in the flood.
14:23Junior was assured
14:25that he could get a sack of rice
14:27that was given to them.
14:28After crying,
14:29his wife and five-month-old child were saved.
14:32I was thinking of the rice that was given to me.
14:40Six hundred families,
14:41including 2,000 individuals,
14:43had to be transferred to a new evacuation center
14:46according to the local government.
14:48They were also excluded from the evacuees
14:50because the house was too high.
14:53At that time,
14:54where did the flood start?
14:56Above their houses.
14:58Above their houses.
15:00That's why we had a hard time.
15:02We really didn't expect it,
15:04even if it was sudden.
15:06This is our high place
15:09because we have a high place here
15:11that is not flooded ever.
15:15It's flooded now.
15:16Thirty-one out of 47 barangays in Bacoor were flooded.
15:20Rescuers are calling for help
15:22and hopefully,
15:23they will be given permanent relocation.
15:27Yesterday,
15:28some children were evacuated from a subdivision
15:30in Santa Cruz, Laguna.
15:31As of now,
15:32there are still floods in five barangays.
15:34In Barangay Santissima Cruz,
15:36the residents tied the pieces of bamboo
15:39so that they can cross it.
15:40But they couldn't avoid being submerged in the flood.
15:42That's why some residents
15:44are afraid of diseases like alipunga.
15:46Sometimes,
15:47I don't wear clothes.
15:49I just wet my feet with clean water.
15:53It's hard for my feet.
15:55It's hard for my feet to get wet
15:57because the water is smelly.
15:59Santa Cruz is a catch basin
16:01that's why the water comes from other places.
16:04As of now,
16:05all water tributaries are still cleaning
16:08all water tributaries
16:09that may be affected by floods.
16:13That's why we're making sure
16:15that even if floods come from other barangays,
16:18they can still live in these areas.
16:22More than 100 families are in evacuation centers.
16:25In Naga, Camarines Sur,
16:27half of the family is carrying
16:29a bag full of vegetables.
16:31The other half is carrying
16:32a bag full of vegetables.
16:35When it comes to work,
16:37it's hard for me.
16:38When I leave,
16:39before I leave,
16:40I leave my bag outside
16:42before I go in.
16:43Before I leave,
16:44I don't want to forget it.
16:46His parents didn't know
16:48when he fell from his bed
16:50in the middle of the flood
16:52inside their house.
16:53When he fell,
16:55we didn't wake up.
16:56He just cried.
16:57We didn't wake up.
16:58It was so sudden.
17:00I don't know why it happened.
17:02It happened in two areas
17:04after the flood in Naga City
17:06which is now in a state of calamity.
17:08Three barangays are still flooded.
17:11Relief goods were given
17:12to the local government
17:13in the evacuation centers.
17:15They will also provide help
17:17to those affected by the flood.
17:19Five hectares of land
17:20in Aling Trinidad
17:21were also submerged in the water.
17:22What will happen next week?
17:25I will plant there.
17:26I borrowed it
17:27because the first one was also destroyed.
17:29I said,
17:30I will make it up to you.
17:32I didn't expect this to happen.
17:35In the first quarter,
17:3612.3 million pesos were allocated
17:38to Agriculture in Naga.
17:40Corn was the most affected.
17:42More than 100
17:45and 80 farmers
17:47were affected by the flood
17:48according to the Agriculture Office.
17:50The Quick Response Fund,
17:54we are looking at providing fertilizers
17:59to our farmers.
18:02Seeds are subsidized,
18:03mainly for rice.
18:05For GMA Integrated News,
18:07Marisol Abduraman,
18:09your witness.
18:12The Philippine Coast Guard
18:13was charged
18:14with burning a boat
18:15in Navotas yesterday.
18:17The barge
18:18that hit the pier in Cavite
18:19was pulled away.
18:20Witness,
18:21Rafi Tima.
18:26Using two tugboats,
18:27the barge that went ashore yesterday
18:29in Wauwados, Rosario, Cavite,
18:31hit the front part of a small pier
18:33owned by an oil company.
18:35The pipe where the fuel products
18:37are unloaded
18:38were not cut.
18:40But it was necessary
18:41to put one under the integrated vest
18:42before using it again.
18:44The coast was closed.
18:45Suddenly,
18:46it was opened.
18:48The wind and rain
18:49were really strong
18:50at that time.
18:51In the initial investigation
18:52of the Philippine Coast Guard,
18:54the barge was able to lower
18:55the load of the wind
18:56to the neighboring town of Tanza
18:58and temporarily anchored.
19:00But because of the strong wind
19:01and waves,
19:02its rope was cut
19:03and it was pulled
19:04towards Wauwados.
19:05Fortunately,
19:06it was not hit by a boat.
19:08The owner of the barge
19:09is already in trouble
19:10and promised to pay
19:11for the damages
19:12it caused.
19:13The barge in Rosario
19:14was just one of the ships
19:15that were damaged
19:16in the middle of the storm
19:17that hit the Luzon.
19:18Earlier,
19:19the ASC Regime
19:20left in a hurry
19:21in the port of Navotas.
19:23At first,
19:24two tugboats were used
19:25to pull the barge
19:26but it was not possible.
19:27The rope was also cut.
19:29At first,
19:30three tugboats were used
19:31to pull the barge.
19:33It left around
19:34nine in the morning.
19:35Another ship that was damaged
19:37was also pulled first,
19:38the MTK RP-23.
19:40The PCG is monitoring
19:41the other barge
19:42that was damaged
19:43in the port of Navotas.
19:45The PCG is just waiting
19:46for the right time
19:47before they inspect it.
19:50However,
19:51in the burned MV Camila
19:52in Navotas,
19:53the authorities
19:54are planning to burn it.
19:56According to the PCG,
19:57a barge was pulled
19:58in the MV Camila
19:59before it was burned.
20:00Around that time,
20:02around 7.30,
20:03there was an alesion.
20:04It hit the area
20:05of the bridge
20:06of the MV Camila.
20:08This was the reason
20:10why there was a fire
20:14in this area.
20:17There was an ignition
20:18and the fire started
20:19on board.
20:21According to the Office
20:22of Civil Defense,
20:23there were 10 for validation

22:15Let's go back to the world's number 3 poll vaulter, EJ Oviana.
22:25And he has good news for his supporters.
22:29Oh my, that might be your chance to introduce yourself.
22:34I'm a fan because EJ will have a meet and greet this September.
22:38There will be an exhibition and panel discussion with some international poll vaulters.
22:43EJ's campo canceled the poll vault meet here in the country.
22:48There were obstacles while organizing the tournament.
22:58This is the poll vaulting but make it canal version.
23:02Canal version. That's a new tradition in the Netherlands.
23:06The poll is held in a palocebo style here in the Philippines.
23:11You have to be fast and jump before the poll completely collapses.
23:14It looks easy but it's also hard.
23:17Whoever has the furthest landing wins.
23:211767 was the year of the first canal vault competition in the Netherlands.
23:31You will really jump because you don't want to fall in the canal.
23:34We have a clean canal there.
23:35A different kind of canal.
23:38Thank you for watching. I'm Pia Arcangel.
23:41I'm Arnold Clavio. I'm Atom Araulio.
23:43For a bigger mission and a wider service to the country.
