00:00Vice President Sara Duterte insisted that she will continue her work in the Office of the Vice President even if there is no budget to be given to her.
00:08Some congressmen are also saying that they need to blame how the OVP is spending their budget.
00:15Witness, Sandra Aguinaldo.
00:19Now that the budget of the Office of the Vice President is still in the chamber,
00:23Vice President Sara Duterte said that they are ready, even if there is no budget to be given to her office.
00:31Remember that Vice President Duterte did not attend the OVP budget deliberation yesterday
00:37after the congressmen were able to answer her last question about this.
00:41We also heard that there is a defunding,
00:45that the budget given to the Office of the Vice President is only a possible peso.
00:49We are ready, I am ready at the Office of the Vice President to work even if there is no budget.
00:56Our operations are small.
00:58That's why we can work even if there is no budget.
01:02The Vice President also mentioned the planned impeachment against her, which is connected to the issue of confidential funds.
01:10She also said that House Speaker Martin Romualdez and the Makabayan Bloc are involved to attack her.
01:17Because of Martin Romualdez's desire not to attack her,
01:21and because of his desire to support the Makabayan and the NPA,
01:27he listened.
01:29And what he did was to remove the budget.
01:34And so that it is not obvious that they are attacking me,
01:37they also removed the other departments of their confidential funds.
01:47They are trying to do it based on their so-called impeachment against me.
01:56That's why it's not new that they are talking about impeachment.
02:00It's connected to their plan against me.
02:05In 2024, the confidential funds of the Office of the Vice President were removed.
02:11The use of OVP in 2022 was suspended within 11 days.
02:18But the gate of the Vice President has no irregularities in the use of confidential funds.
02:22The Commission on Audit is still waiting for a document to support how the OVP spent part of the confidential funds,
02:30which amounted to 73 million pesos.
02:33The OVP first said that it will pass.
02:36We again listened to the reaction of Speaker Romualdez, but he did not respond.
02:41The House Appropriations Committee chairman and I, Bicol Partylist Representative Zaldy Co,
02:47first said that the Vice President said that Romualdez controlled the national budget.
02:54He explained that there is a process of passing it and many lawmakers are investigating it.
03:00ACT-Teachers Partylist Representative Castro defended Romualdez for impeaching Duterte.
03:10But the possibility of impeachment could result from the misuse of confidential funds.
03:16He will continue to look into the legal aspect of the impeachment
03:21in order to avoid abuse of the power and rights of the country.
03:25Other congressmen also defended the camera.
03:29It's really her fault.
03:30How? Because she's the head of the agency.
03:33It is her responsibility and accountability to explain.
03:38The House of Representatives' mandate is to review the budget proposed every year.
03:47For GMA Integrated News, Sandra Aguinaldo is your witness.
03:53More than Php 100 million was given to fishermen in Ilocos Norte.
03:59It was given first by President Bongbong Marcos
04:02at the same time as the birth anniversary of former President Ferdinand Marcos Sr. in Batac.
04:07Fishermen in the north were heavily affected due to the rise of aluminum and bad weather.
04:15The increase in electricity in Miralco is effective this month.
04:19According to Miralco, the cost of electricity is more than Php 15 per kilowatt-hour this September.
04:24That's equivalent to Php 31 more than the total bill of the average family consuming 200 kilowatt-hours.
04:31The main reason for this increase in the season charge this month
04:37is the higher ancillary service charges
04:41following the return of the reserve markets operation on August 5.
04:48The task will continue until next month at Php 35 per kilowatt-hour.
04:55The LRT-2 trip was limited from Antipolo to Vima this morning.
05:00At 7 a.m. last morning, the Light Rail Transport Authority announced the limited trip
05:05because some passengers were paralyzed.
05:07The LRTA explained that the Rectifier No. 1 or Breaker had a problem
05:11so the trip was limited.
05:13They asked for an update on what happened.
05:16The normal operation of the LRT-2 returned at 12 p.m.
05:20For GMI Integrated News, I'm Nico Juage, your witness.
05:25Before the witness, the Department of Health signed 15 cases of MPOCS in the Philippines.
05:3111 were in Metro Manila and 3 were in Calabarzon,
05:35and 1 in Cagayan Valley.
05:37The MMDA will ensure a thorough information dissemination
05:41and information campaign on the disease
05:44to avoid its spread.
05:46The MMDA also plans to adopt a new ordinance in San Juan City
05:50on prohibiting swimming in the river to avoid leptospirosis.
05:55They will send a police officer to formally prohibit it,
05:58but they still need to issue their own ordinance
06:02on every payment for punishment and fine.
06:06The Senate Committee will ask the court
06:09to allow Pastor Apollo Quibuloy to attend the hearings of the Senate.
06:13There are new allegations of sexual abuse against Pastor
06:17from the members of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.
06:20Our witness, Ian Cruz.
06:25The new accusations of sexual abuse against Pastor Apollo Quibuloy
06:30were filed by the police while they were conducting an operation
06:34in the Kingdom of Jesus Christ compound in Davao City.
06:38The victims were members of a group of women
06:42called Pastoral, or those in the inner circle of Quibuloy.
06:47The youngest of the victims was 16 years old.
06:51The parents of the victims approached the police.
06:55According to PNP chief Romel Francisco Marbil,
06:59the victims told the victims of their experience
07:03that the victims were showing an alarming pattern of sexual abuse.
07:08They are now investigating the evidence
07:11to strengthen the case against Quibuloy.
07:14They were also victimized by Pastor Quibuloy, allegedly.
07:18He was also sexually abused, allegedly.
07:20Quibuloy's lawyer, attorney Israelito Torion,
07:24has yet to comment on this
07:26because the PNP has yet to provide a clear detail.
07:31The Senate heard the first allegations of sexual abuse
07:36against several members of the KOJC.
07:39Quibuloy did not attend the hearing, so he was contempted this March.
07:43His questions are now collected.
07:45How was it set up that the people he recruited
07:49as believers in him and his kingdom
07:54were abused by women and minors,
07:58by men, but he also abused them.
08:01He forced them to convert
08:03so that he could sustain his own livelihood.
08:08Effectively, he human-trafficked them
08:12in different parts of the Philippines and even in other countries.
08:16Quibuloy was planned to face the Senate.
08:19The next hearing of the Committee on Women, Children,
08:24Family Relations, and Gender Equality was just announced.
08:27I will write to the Supreme Court
08:30so that he could be included
08:33as a follow-up to the Senate's standing warrant for him.
08:37GMA Integrated News claimed
08:39that Quibuloy received information about this from his lawyer,
08:44but they did not respond to our texts and calls.
08:47Senator Bato de la Rosa also wanted to know
08:50the details of Quibuloy's case this past Sunday night.
08:53I don't know the exact details of his surrender.
08:59He was just hiding inside.
09:01He was just inside.
09:03If he surrendered, how did he involve the police?
09:07There was no police inside.
09:09Right?
09:10Of course, the police will go inside the compound of the QGC
09:14to surrender.
09:16The police will allow it.
09:18The area is under control.
09:19Quibuloy was charged with child and sexual abuse
09:22and his accomplices were accused in the Quezon City RTC Branch 106.
09:27If the court passes its ruling,
09:30Pastor and Cresente Canada will be transferred
09:33to this prison in the Quezon City Jail.
09:36In the female dorm,
09:38Jackie Linroy, Ingrid Canada, and Silvia Semanez will be jailed.
09:43It depends on the security assessment
09:45if they will be involved with another person deprived of liberty.
09:49As for the treatment,
09:51how we classify it,
09:53if it's an ordinary BDL,
09:56it's the same for him.
09:58It's just an ordinary BDL from the BJP's point of view.
10:01For now, the accused is staying at the PNP Custodial Center
10:05because of the PNP's motion.
10:07Quibuloy's camp would have preferred a house arrest
10:11or to be transferred to the AFP's custody.
10:13It's a good thing that the Department of National Defense opposed it.
10:17There is a strict security protocol in the AFP facilities.
10:20That's why suspects with criminal cases can't be jailed.
10:25The DOJ has asked the court to pass its ruling.
10:29As far as I remember,
10:32those who are being given house arrest
10:34are those who didn't resist
10:39or agreed to be arrested.
10:42For GMI Integrated News,
10:44Ian Cruz is your witness.
10:47A jeepney driver confronted his fellow chauffeur in Iloilo City
10:51while holding a knife.
10:53The fight started
10:55when Kim Salinas of GMA Regional TV witnessed it.
11:03In the middle of the road,
11:04these two chauffeurs were fighting in Iloilo City.
11:07Romulo Trabucon, a chauffeur of a traditional jeepney,
11:10was holding a knife.
11:12Mark Lagratante, a modernized PUJ,
11:16was also holding a knife.
11:18Their routes are the same in Iloilo City and vice versa.
11:22Lagratante said that he was harassed by Trabucon several times
11:26from a mall in La Paz.
11:28When it came to the fight,
11:30he took the knife from their hands
11:32and confronted the jeepney driver.
11:34When I first arrived in Japan,
11:37I didn't know what to do
11:40until we witnessed the fight.
11:42It's a long story.
11:45I was ready to fight.
11:47I didn't know what to do,
11:50so I took the knife.
11:52But Trabucon's enemy,
11:54Lagratante, attacked him.
11:56He defended the knife
11:58when the jeepney driver approached him.
12:00I couldn't do anything
12:02because I was hit.
12:03I hit him three times.
12:05He was injured.
12:07I tried to help him,
12:09but he didn't listen.
12:11The police and barangay responded immediately.
12:14Both of them recovered.
12:16Trabucon's knife
12:18was now in the hands of the police.
12:21In Ligao City, Albay,
12:22there is a dead baby in the compound
12:24of an elementary school.
12:26According to the police,
12:27two students saw the baby boy
12:30at the foot of Ligao City Health Office
12:32who was only two days old.
12:34They are still investigating
12:36who threw the baby.
12:38For GMA Integrated News,
12:40I am Kim Salinas
12:42and for GMA Regional TV,
12:44your Saksi.
12:47There is no exception in the entrapment operation
12:49of a mother who aborted a baby
12:51in Bulacan.
12:53Saksi, by John Consulta.
12:59A group of people
13:01promoted on social media
13:03that they are offering
13:05a super safe service
13:07when a child falls
13:09in their abortion clinic.
13:11They even posted
13:13testimonials of their
13:15satisfied clients.
13:17So when it comes to the entrapment
13:19of the NBI Organized International Crime Division,
13:21they are no longer missing.
13:23The mother, 47 years old
13:25and 20 years old, was arrested
13:27in her house in Baliwag, Bulacan.
13:30Yes, you are with us.
13:32You are with us, right?
13:36No, you are with us.
13:39What can you do?
13:41What can you do?
13:43Who will make the decision?
13:45Aside from the victim, Mark Mani,
13:47the equipment used by mothers
13:49in abortion services
13:51also helped the agents.
13:53It's a bit scary
13:55because the equipment
13:57or tools they use
13:59are unsanitized.
14:01You can see that
14:03some of them are still alive.
14:05They are still alive
14:07and the bed they use
14:09is just a foam bed.
14:11Maybe their clients
14:13have a tendency
14:15to have an infection or tetanus
14:17because the equipment
14:19is really unsanitized.
14:21To avoid being caught,
14:23the suspects are doing something.
14:25You don't go directly
14:27to the area
14:29where you will be arrested.
14:31You will be followed first.
14:33They will set a place for you to go
14:35like here.
14:37They will go to a mall
14:39and they will be followed there.
14:41Aside from the 20,000 pesos payment,
14:43the suspects have extra charges
14:45for their clients.
14:47The payment is 20,000 pesos
14:49and they asked
14:51if the fetus
14:53will be delivered.
14:55When we said no,
14:57they asked for an additional
14:593,000 pesos
15:01for the delivery of the fetus.
15:03Plus,
15:05the 2,000 pesos
15:07for the after-meds.
15:09They asked for 25,000 pesos
15:11for everything.
15:13We are still trying to catch the panic of the suspects
15:15who are looking for an illegal practice
15:17of medicine against the FDA law.
15:19Illegal abortion in relation to
15:21cybercrime law.
15:23For GMA Illegality News,
15:25John Consulta is your witness.
15:29The work is not yet finished,
15:31but it has just begun.
15:33That is the message of the Bureau of Immigration Commissioner
15:35Munasi Atty. Norman Tancinco.
15:37Tancinco is happy
15:39that there are changes made despite
15:41his limitations.
15:43For example, the B.I. did its job
15:45in controlling the entry and exit
15:47of the country and stopping
15:49human trafficking to Filipinos abroad.
15:51Tancinco also gave his
15:53associates to the agency
15:55and to the Department of Justice
15:57because they were able to implement
15:59the B.I.
