00:00The cables in the Gilmore Station of the LR2 suddenly sparkled last night.
00:07There was a short circuit and it went through the so-called catenary wire.
00:12The wire was cut off and it gave current to the train.
00:16Fortunately, the last train passed by so no one was hurt.
00:20The cables were fixed immediately.
00:23The Buklao Dam lost water as it rained in some parts of Northern and Central Luzon.
00:31The waves in Visayas were so strong that a fast craft was forced to return to Bohol.
00:38Mark Salazar has the report.
00:40Some passengers of that fast craft were screamed in fear because of the strong waves.
00:53The fast craft was going to Dumaguete, Negros Oriental, but it was forced to return to Bohol.
01:01All passengers were saved.
01:04The waves were so strong that some people in Bohol couldn't swim.
01:12Pump boats and small ships were not allowed to travel from Angasilport to Lapu-Lapu City because of the gale warning yesterday.
01:21According to the Philippine Coast Guard, more than 1,000 passengers were stranded in the eastern Visayas, southern Tagalog, Bicol and western Visayas regions.
01:32More than 150,000 people were evacuated in the western Visayas due to the effects of the strong waves caused by Hurricane Hiner,
01:41according to the Regional Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council 6.
01:46In Albay, the roads were flooded and the rice fields were destroyed.
01:51Some parts of Taytay, Palawan were also flooded so the rice fields were destroyed.
01:57Some parts of Metro Manila were also flooded so some passengers were rescued by rescue boats.
02:03The people of Kasiguran, Aurora were also rescued while preparing for Hurricane Hiner.
02:09Hurricane Hiner was also experienced in some places in Northern Luzon like Ilocos Norte.
02:16Along with the preparation of LGUs and residents for the storm, Ambuklao Dam was also flooded.
02:25The PDRRMO raised the red alert status to prepare for the storm.
02:31Mark Salazar reporting for GMA Integrated News.
02:37The people of BRP Teresa, Magbanua are hungry and sick due to the lack of food and clean water while guarding Escoda Shoal.
02:46They only eat porridge and drink water from the aircon.
02:52My report is Joseph Morong.
02:57One and a half kilo of rice is enough for 63 people.
03:01This is how poor the people of BRP Teresa, Magbanua were for almost a month before Princess Palawan came back yesterday.
03:10Rice, porridge only.
03:12Only pepper?
03:13Yes, sir. Pepper and salt, sir, since that's the only thing we were left with.
03:18We have friends who get dizzy because they are hungry and their stomachs get upset at night.
03:23What do you do when that happens?
03:25Nothing, sir. We just sleep and rest, sir.
03:28They also ran out of drinking water.
03:30Aside from the seawater that is supplied by the freshwater generator, they also drink water from the rain and aircon.
03:38The water from our air conditioning unit, sir, the condensed water there, sir.
03:42We prefer the one in the air conditioning unit, sir.
03:45And the one in the rain, sir.
03:47Compared to the filter?
03:49It tastes like a swimming pool, and it's salty.
03:52Because of the limited water and food, some of the people of Magbanua got sick.
03:56They got sick. Their bowel movements are really different.
03:59If we were there longer, there would have been more people who got sick.
04:03The situation of the Chinese Coast Guard bombing the city of Magbanua on August 31 was worse.
04:08This is the wreckage of the BRP Teresa, Magbanua.
04:12The Chinese Coast Guard bombed our ship on August 31.
04:16It's in this engine room.
04:18The explanation to us is that it's dangerous if this will hit or damage the ship.
04:24If the cooling system is gone, our ship won't be able to run.
04:28What happened to you?
04:30Dead on the water.
04:31They had a reason to salvage us.
04:33Because we were dead on the water.
04:35They could have pulled us.
04:37As of now, the people of Magbanua have recovered from their illness.
04:41They are ready to return to Escoda Shoal.
04:44As Filipinos, we can do it.
04:49Why?
04:50This is not just for the Philippines, sir.
04:53This is for the whole world.
04:56Because what we implemented there is international law.
05:00The Chinese Coast Guard called for the return of the people of Magbanua to Escoda Shoal.
05:04But the gate of the Philippine Coast Guard had to leave the ship because of the bad weather.
05:08And to treat the sick crew and fix the damage to the ship.
05:13We are just repositioning our own vessels.
05:16We have constant monitoring.
05:18We use different sensors there.
05:21There are ships, airplanes, and others that I can't mention.
05:27Rest assured, our features are preserved.
05:32With the help of the bilateral consultation mechanism last week,
05:36China told the Philippines to remove the ships from Escoda Shoal.
05:40But when the National Maritime Council agreed...
05:43We did not withdraw.
05:44And this was not agreed during the last BCM.
05:49We were firm during the meeting in Beijing.
05:52But our BFA stated that our presence will be maintained in the shoal.
05:59Joseph Morong reporting for GMA Integrated News.
06:02House Speaker Martin Romualde has a message to the critics of the camera.
06:08We cannot ignore the reality that there are those who seek to undermine our work.
06:15Critics who speak of accountability while conveniently ignoring their own misuse of public funds.
06:26To these individuals, I say, let us be clear.
06:30This chamber will not tolerate hypocrisy, nor will it stand idle in the face of such blatant disregard of public trust.
06:41Romualde said this at the start of the deliberation in the plenary of the budget for the next year.
06:49Romualde's words are sacred to every citizen.
06:53And the duty of the Congress is to ensure that it uses it correctly.
06:57Romualde's name was not mentioned.
07:00But it can be remembered that the answer of Congressmen and Vice President Sara Duterte
07:07to the use of confidential funds by the OVP in 2022 was hot.
07:12Duterte did not respond to the following hearing.
07:16But he released a video and said that Romualde and Congressman Zaldicoe
07:21are the ones who hold the budget of the Philippines.
07:24Something that Duterte called a fraud.
07:27We are still trying to get Duterte's statement.
