00:00We will be with you in Sakili!
00:14Some witnesses were able to run in the mountainous areas of Mayhacema Highway in Atok, Benguet,
00:19Bonson, Paguulangdala, Habagat, and Daang, Baguio-Enteng.
00:24This highway connects Benguet and Mountain Province.
00:29A lane was first opened in the traffic while the cleaning operations of DPWH continued.
00:35But it was also closed when the rain intensified.
00:38On August 23, another part of the highway in the town of Baguias was also closed due to landslides.
00:50Arrest warrant from the Court of Appeal will meet Dismissed Bamban Mayor Alice Wu on his return to the Philippines.
00:57Last night, he left for Indonesia.
01:00Tomorrow, Alice Wu is expected to go to the Senate,
01:03where the first questions were raised about his identity and connection to Pogo in Bambang, Tarlac.
01:10From Pasay, Saksi Live, Raffy Tima.
01:13Raffy!
01:18Pia, this is the first half of the morning.
01:20Dismissed Mayor Alice Wu is expected to arrive here in Naia.
01:24Here, in a private hangar, he will direct his airplane,
01:28along with DILG Secretary Bernard Abalos and PNP Chief Romero Marbil.
01:33He will also be placed under Immigration Procedure.
01:36Here, he will receive an arrest warrant from Tarlac for a case of graft.
01:41He will also be placed under Booking Procedure and Medical Check-up
01:46before being taken to Campo Crame, where he will spend the night.
01:55At the PNP Custodial Center,
01:57Magdamag is expected to transfer Dismissed Bambang Mayor Alice Wu
02:00on his return to the Philippines from Indonesia.
02:03Tomorrow, he will be taken to the Senate, where he will receive an arrest warrant
02:06for several times failing to meet the hearings.
02:09In the Senate, the first questions were raised about Wu's identity
02:13while discussing his connection to Pogo in Bambang, Tarlac,
02:17which is located in Bawfulan, where Alice Wu became an incorporator.
02:22But what Wu saw was that he sold his share in Bawfulan.
02:26I am not connected. I am not an operator.
02:30I am not a protector or a cutler of Pogo.
02:33I have nothing to do with their operation
02:36and with anything they do inside and outside of Pogo.
02:41After the hearings, the questions about Alice Wu's identity were answered.
02:46And when it came to the investigation of NBI and COMELEC on Wu's fingerprint,
02:50their fingerprints are the same on a Chinese citizen named Guo Huaping.
02:55I am a Filipino. I grew up knowing that I am a Filipino.
03:00According to DOJ, the case of Qualified Human Trafficking against Guo
03:03will be brought to court any day.
03:06He has a non-bailable case.
03:08We expect it to be decided very soon.
03:13We expect it to be decided very soon.
03:16Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Rimulya is not worried about the possibility that Guo will escape again
03:21because it is time for another case to be brought to court.
03:24At the same time, a hold departure order will be issued against the accused.
03:27DOJ also said that they have not yet received an official request
03:31regarding the Australian fugitive Gregor Johan Haas.
03:34According to a news agency in Indonesia,
03:37Haas is asking for a replacement for Alice Guo.
03:41In May, Haas was arrested in Bogo, Cebu.
03:43He was connected to the Sinaloa Drug Cartel of Mexico
03:46and is behind the entry of a large group of drugs in Indonesia.
03:50Haas is in a BI detention facility in Taguig.
03:53I cannot make any statements on that
03:57because the talks have only just started this morning
04:02and nothing is only about to start.
04:04So I don't have any information to disclose.
04:07So far, we don't have any information like that.
04:09We don't have any contact with anybody about the Prisoner's Walk.
04:13We heard about it through Indonesian media actually.
04:17The Prisoner's Walk is the work of the DFA.
04:20If the Indonesian government has a request,
04:23it will be sent to the DFA.
04:30When Dismissed Mayor Guo arrived here,
04:32early in the morning,
04:34after his booking procedure,
04:36after serving his arrest warrant,
04:38and after his medical check-up,
04:40there will be a press conference
04:42where details will be discussed
04:44on how he was arrested.
04:46That's the latest from Andrews Road in Maypasay.
04:50I'm Rafi Tima, your witness.
04:54Two Chinese nationals were arrested for human trafficking
04:57in an illegal drug deal in the Subic Freeport Zone.
05:00The witness is June Veneracion.
05:03PNP-CIDG investigated an illegal drug deal
05:07in the Subic Freeport Zone
05:09where two Chinese nationals were arrested
05:12for human trafficking.
05:14Eighteen Chinese were also rescued.
05:16The PNP-CIDG was under surveillance for two weeks
05:19because of the information provided by the informants
05:23that there was a bill
05:26that a lot of Chinese were going out and entering.
05:30Upon confirmation that there were really Chinese,
05:33we applied for a search warrant.
05:36Among the recovered were computers,
05:38cellphones and phones.
05:40The suspects and the rescuers
05:42were under the custody of the PNP-CIDG in Kamkrame.
05:45The suspects will file a complaint
05:47against the Anti-Trafficking In Persons Act.
05:49The authorities are continuously looking for information
05:52to crack down on other illegal drugs in the country.
05:55Based on the crackdown,
05:56they splintered into small groups
05:59and that's why we're having a hard time
06:01because we need the eyes of our community.
06:06We are still trying to get hold of the suspects.
06:09For GMA Integrated News,
06:11your June Veneration, Saksi.
06:15Face-to-face classes will be suspended tomorrow
06:17for all classes in private and public schools
06:20in Nasugbu, Batangas.
06:22The same goes for Bataan Province,
06:24but modular distance learning can be conducted
06:27following the suspension of classes.
06:30In Bulacan, a large portion is still submerged in the river
06:33and even if it's dangerous,
06:35many are still drowning in the river in Valenzuela City.
06:38Saksi, Marisol Abduraman.
06:44Motorists and commuters
06:46are not allowed to cross the MacArthur Highway
06:49in Valenzuela City.
06:51Computers are no choice.
06:52They are drowning because it's hard to ride.
06:55The other vehicles are almost there.
06:57That's why I was allowed to go home.
06:59The traffic is even more chaotic
07:01because the cars are being pushed back
07:03because of the high tide.
07:05Because of the high tide in this part of the MacArthur Highway
07:08in Valenzuela City,
07:09the cars are being pushed back.
07:11There are some riders
07:12who are willing to push their motorcycles
07:15just to cross the area.
07:17Sir, what are you planning to do?
07:20I need to go home, that's why I was pushed back.
07:23Ah, so you were not allowed to go home.
07:25No, I was not.
07:26Maybe later, the water will come in.
07:27I will just go home because my motorcycle can't handle it.
07:30It might break.
07:31A church in Polo is also submerged in the river.
07:34In Barangay Poblacion,
07:35even the water is scarce.
07:37The residents are used to being in the river
07:40but this situation is still difficult.
07:42It's really difficult.
07:44First of all, we have to find a way to live.
07:46It's difficult because we will be hungry
07:48if we don't eat.
07:49It's dangerous.
07:50That's why it's necessary
07:52because we won't be able to eat.
07:5572 barangays in the province of Bulacan
07:58are still submerged in the river
07:59according to the TDRRMO,
08:01just like Barangay Lawa in Meghawayan.
08:05Some residents of Marilao
08:06have been carrying garbage
08:08in the river for 4 days.
08:10Every time the Marilao River floods,
08:12the garbage brings water
08:14to the nearby barangays.
08:17And because the river is shallow,
08:18it floods easily
08:20just like every other time of the year.
08:23The neighborhoods of Giquinto and Balagtas
08:25are also submerged in the river.
08:27In the town of Santa Maria,
08:28the Makaibang Bridge is still not accessible
08:30because of the high water level
08:32until the river meets the Kandaba-Baliwag Road.
08:36There is also a deep river
08:38in the Hermos Sabataan area.
08:40For GMA Integrated News,
08:43Marisol Abduraman is your witness.
08:48It will continue to rain in some parts of the country
08:50due to the trough of the Super Typhoon Yagi
08:52or the former Typhoon Enteng
08:54and the strong winds.
08:55According to the Metro Weather,
08:57there is a high chance of rain
08:59in a large part of Luzon.
09:01There is still a strong downpour
09:03especially in the western sections
09:04so be alert in the event of floods or landslides.
09:07In Visayas and Mindanao,
09:09it is also possible for it to rain in the afternoon.
09:11The rain is heavy
09:12but there is a strong downpour
09:15especially if there are localised thunderstorms.
09:18Compared to the past few days,
09:20it is possible that the heavy rains in Metro Manila
09:22will be lessened
09:24but still, be careful.
09:27The brother of Alice Guo,
09:29Wesley Guo,
09:30agreed to testify
09:31according to the lawyer of the dismissed mayor of Bamban
09:34in the hearing of the Senate earlier.
09:36The witness is Sandra Aguinaldo.
09:39While the authorities were holding Alice Guo in Indonesia,
09:42her brother, Sheila Guo,
09:44was handed over to the Senate
09:46on how they got out
09:48by the dismissed mayor of the Philippines.
09:50Sheila testified that they crossed the sea
09:53towards Sabang, Malaysia
09:55before going to Indonesia.
09:57Where did you ride?
09:59And I don't believe that you don't remember
10:01the basic details of this.
10:02No, I don't.
10:03What I know is that when we went to
10:06when we went to
10:10We crossed the wrong tollgate
10:12and went to Skyway.
10:14Where did you cross?
10:16The wrong tollgate.
10:18Wrong tollgate?
10:19We went to Skyway.
10:21And then?
10:23It was straight ahead.
10:24I don't know where it was.
10:25So you went south?
10:27No, we already know that.
10:29It's hard to believe actually
10:31that you three, Alice,
10:33you have billions of pesos.
10:36The entire country is looking for you.
10:39You're exposing yourself
10:40to such a dangerous journey
10:42in the sea.
10:44Because Sheila was already in jail
10:46for money laundering,
10:48a senator has a reminder.
10:50We just want to remind you
10:52the 87 counts
10:54is just one of your cases.
10:57There are so many more to come.
11:00We don't believe
11:02in the story that you're selling us.
11:04We will not buy
11:06what you're saying
11:08and you'll be even smaller.
11:10According to the Anti-Money Laundering Council,
11:12most of the transactions in Alice's accounts
11:15are hundreds of millions of pesos in cash
11:17that doesn't match her earnings.
11:19This is the bigger crime.
11:21Putting up a building
11:22that we don't know how the money came in.
11:24That's my point.
11:28And I'll show that the same
11:30phenomenon in Borac.
11:33So my point is,
11:35we're going to go beyond
11:37the money launderers that we don't know.
11:39Senators are also questioning
11:41the law enforcement agencies
11:43on how Alice got caught
11:45and if it's possible
11:47that the group used a private plane.
11:49According to the Civil Aviation Authority
11:51of the Philippines,
11:52the names of Alice and her accomplices
11:54are not on the manifest of private planes.
11:57The PNP,
11:59the Bureau of Immigration
12:00and the Bureau of Quarantine
12:02all the passengers of the private plane
12:04were caught in the manifest.
12:06The Emon Pulo Beach Resort
12:08in Zambales was also found
12:10in front of the Senate
12:11where Alice was seen this July.
12:14She's our front desk in Emon Pulo.
12:18So maybe she's the one
12:20who went to Emon Pulo.
12:22But last year,
12:24they visited Alice's group
12:26even though she has nothing to do with it.
12:29They went swimming
12:31and their helicopter landed there.
12:34And then,
12:35maybe the helicopter came back
12:37two or three times.
12:38I think they were around 20 plus.
12:40You also complained that the resort
12:42did not follow the search warrant
12:44of the PAOC
12:46that arrived at the resort this August
12:48in the name of Alice Saiteng.
12:50The PAOC explained
12:52that they have a mission order
12:53from the Bureau of Immigration.
12:55During the last public hearing
12:58of the subcommittee,
13:00we already recounted,
13:04so to speak,
13:05our information.
13:06We do apologize for the inconvenience
13:08that they have caused.
13:09But I hope Your Honor,
13:11we cannot apologize
13:12that we have to perform
13:13legitimate law enforcement functions.
13:16It was not easy to hear
13:18Cassandra Liu
13:19who was confined in the hospital
13:21due to low blood sugar
13:22after facing the camera yesterday.
13:25Mayor Lizeldo Calugay
13:27of Sualpangasinan was also absent
13:29due to dengue.
13:31Sheila was also asked
13:32about the business
13:33that was named after her
13:34in Sualpangasinan.
13:35But she said
13:36it was possible
13:37that her name was just used.
13:39In a media interview,
13:40Attorney Stephen David said
13:42that Wesley Guo wanted to give up
13:45and now Alice was arrested.
13:47She also wanted to give up.
13:49I cannot say the details.
13:52Of course,
13:53the point of a person
13:54is that you are discouraged
13:56because you have no one with you.
13:59For GMA Integrated News,
14:02Sandra Aguinaldo,
14:03your witness.
14:07After the rapid increase
14:09in the number of purchases
14:11since January,
14:12and the 4.4% inflation
14:15in July,
14:17the number of purchases
14:19was reduced to 3.3%
14:21this August.
14:22The slow increase
14:24in food prices
14:25like rice
14:26and the decrease
14:27in the price of vegetables
14:28and fish
14:29also helped
14:30the decrease
14:31in the price of oil
14:32and ship massages.
14:35Now,
14:36according to the
14:37Philippine Statistics Authority,
14:38it is expected that
14:39the next few years
14:40will have an effect
14:41on the price
14:42of agricultural products.

15:58Many counties
15:59are using rooftop
16:00solar energy
16:01in the country
16:02according
16:03to the department
16:04of the energy.
16:05The target of the country
16:06to increase
16:07the use
16:08of renewable energy
16:09to 50 percent
16:10by the year
16:112040.
16:12Witness
16:13Von Akino.
16:14In front of renewable
16:1535% share in renewable energy in power generation by 2030.
16:21To achieve this, the government will give incentives
16:24and will allow 100% foreign ownership in renewable energy projects.
16:29Currently, there are actually about 174 renewable energy projects in operation
16:39and have around 5,000 megawatt installed capacity.
16:47So this is actually a testament that of all the projects
16:53that are being approved and registered with BOI,
16:56there is a more than 95% implementation success rate
17:01in terms of investments in renewable energy.
17:04The government is also encouraging voluntary renewable energy programs
17:07such as net metering, green energy option, and expanded rooftop solar program.
17:13Net metering installs solar panels usually in the roof.
17:19If the owner of the house does not use it,
17:23they can sell it to the distribution utility.
17:27We already have a regulatory framework and policies.
17:31You save around 15 to 20% of the cost if you build your own generating facility.
17:40And if the generating facility is solar powered by battery,
17:45in the long run, it's more competitive because it's comparable to a diesel gen center.
17:54Renewable energy companies were also given the opportunity
17:59by the government and stakeholders to collaborate on projects.
18:05For GMA Integrated News, I'm your host, Saksy.
18:15Attention, Eugene's fans!
18:17Because this is the K-pop Girl Group in the country.
18:20In Cuja ng Naiya, the girls were spotted at the airport fresh from South Korea.
18:26The K-pop group is in the country for the Ultimate Fandom Concert in Pasay City.
18:31Several hit songs were performed by the group, such as How Sweet.
18:36Last year, New Genes visited the Philippines for the 2023 Asia Artist Awards.
18:48Not only is she passionate about music,
18:50she is also a teacher to young people in Solsona, Ilocos Norte.
18:54She gives free music lessons to students, such as the ukulele.
19:00According to Aldrin Pagirigan,
19:03he started teaching music during lunch break in 2018.
19:08He loves playing instruments while resting.
19:12Some children are also interested in learning music.
19:16Since there is no money to buy musical instruments,
19:18the teacher lends his musical instruments to children.
19:22He is thankful to the students,
19:26especially to some of them who are already playing in their churches.
19:30The teacher says that the children's potential in the field of music is very high.
19:40It's really fun to drink soup whenever it rains.
19:44Just like the big noodle soup of La Union,
19:48which tastes like ramen.
19:51Success!
19:52This is Jasmine Gabriel Galvan of GMA Regional TV.
20:00When it rains, it's not just the weather that makes it cold.
20:07Hot and boiling soup can cool you down.
20:11And if you are in La Union,
20:12you will have a craving for soup.
20:14In the big city of Sudipen,
20:16Miki ni Labdit,
20:18the soup is creamy like ramen
20:21because it is made from boiled pork bones.
20:25It's unique.
20:26When the soup is thick,
20:28you can add the noodles.
20:32The ingredients are simple,
20:34but the foodies love it.
20:37Let's try it, Kapuso.
20:38This is Miki in the big city of Sudipen.
20:41Let's try the soup first.
20:45It's delicious, Kapuso.
20:46The soup is really creamy.
20:48And you can taste a bit of spiciness.
20:52That's why it's so delicious.
20:55Now, let's try the noodles.
21:06The noodles are so soft, Kapuso.
21:09You won't get tired of the soup and noodles
21:11when you come to Cebu City.
21:13Humba, Lanshaw, you name it,
21:15they have it.
21:16And they have added a smoky flavor to their dishes
21:19because their kalang is not made from rice.
21:22It's made from wood.
21:24It's like an open-secret recipe
21:26of their old-fashioned cooking.
