00:00We will all be together in Saksi!
00:13The barangays of Palawan and Amapalayan opened their mouths
00:16because of the unbridled rainfall of heavy rain caused by the two typhoons.
00:21The effect of the storm was given by several structures.
00:25Joseph Moro is a witness.
00:30One, two, three!
00:35The area of Retaining Wall Project in Pulangki, Albay was flooded
00:40due to the heavy rainfall.
00:42The authorities inspected the area to ensure the safety of the residents.
00:48A part of a road in the town of Joveliar was also flooded.
00:53While in Daraga, there was a flash flood so the traffic was heavy.
00:57In Rojas, Palawan, there is a large river that this man is crossing,
01:01but it is a riverbank that was flooded.
01:03To find out how high the water level is here in Rojas, Palawan,
01:10we took our brother to that riverbank
01:14where the water level reached its peak.
01:19Many residents here told us that they don't want their houses to be damaged.
01:25This started last Friday.
01:27Then last night, it got really deep.
01:31You didn't evacuate?
01:34We evacuated.
01:36I just went back to my house.
01:38When do you think the flood will end?
01:40It will take a long time.
01:42It will probably last until Saturday.
01:47Because it's still raining.
01:48Yes, it's still raining.
01:50More than 10,000 residents were affected by the flood.
01:53Some of them were on a boat to get back to their homes.
01:57Animals were also left on the road.
02:00The water reached the roof of some houses.
02:04Many houses were also flooded in Barangay Siksigan, Puerto Princesa City.
02:09Those in the evacuation centers were evacuated first.
02:11There were 86 families.
02:13Seven barangays in the city were affected by the flood.
02:17More than 500 families were also affected by the flood in the tourist town of San Vicente.
02:22There was also a landslide in Barangay Niyong Canipo.
02:25While in Barangay Abongan in Taytay, Palawan, the river overflowed.
02:29That's why the crops were submerged.
02:31About to be arrested at Isana.
02:33Just a few creeps were damaged.
02:36I don't know if you can see it.
02:37El Nido MDRMO was able to capture the strong waves in the sea.
02:42Some residents of Barangay Bebeladan, an isolated place, were rescued.
02:47In some places, in Calasio and Pangasinan,
02:49the waves were not yet overflowing.
02:53Residents were worried that the flood might come again.
02:57They did not put down their belongings first,
02:59which they used to carry to the upper part of their houses.
03:03Maybe it will rise again.
03:05Then we will go up again.
03:07In Dagupan City, Medina also carried their belongings
03:11to the second floor of their house.
03:13Because the water inside overflowed.
03:15It's hard.
03:17Because everything will rise.
03:19Then you won't be able to move much.
03:22High tides followed in the rain and the barangays near Pantal River were affected.
03:27According to the CDRMO,
03:28the tide levels in the city reached 1.2 meters in two days.
03:32Our biggest concern for this week will be our high tide.
03:36It's possible because we have a gale warning.
03:39It will go down in two hours, just like yesterday.
03:42No sailing, no swimming, and no fishing policy in the city is still in effect.
03:47For GMA Integrated News, I'm Joseph Morong.
03:51Tropical Storm Pulasan has entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility.
03:55It will be called Hurricane Helen.
03:57Based on the data of Metro Weather,
03:59there is a high chance of rain in Central Luzon,
04:01Calabarzon, Bicol Region, Panay, and Negros Island.
04:05Almost the entire city of Luzon will be affected by the storm this afternoon,
04:09including Northern Luzon, Samar, and Leyte Provinces,
04:13Zamboanga Peninsula, Northern Mindanao,
04:16Caraga, Soxargen, and Davao Region.
04:20There is a high chance of rain in some areas,
04:22especially in Luzon and Western Visayas,
04:25so be alert for high tides or landslides.
04:28There is also a high chance of rain in Metro Manila tomorrow.
04:32So, my fellow countrymen, be prepared.
04:36Before Saksi, more than Php 600,000 worth of shabu
04:40was found in two streets in Pasay.
04:43One of them is a former POGO worker,
04:46and their so-called parishioners are former POGO workers.
04:50Saksi, Niko Waheg.
04:56In the parking lot of a mall in Pasay City,
04:59the authorities cornered two foreign nationals
05:02who were selling their so-called shabu.
05:05You are arrested for violation of RA 9165.
05:08A Malaysian and a Chinese.
05:10According to the Southern Police District,
05:12the Malaysian national was the target of the first operation,
05:15who was known as Alya Singh.
05:17Based on our confidential information,
05:20the majority of the shabu fell to the Chinese,
05:25just like the Nigerian nationals
05:29who live here in the condo units in Pasay and Paranaque.
05:35According to their informant,
05:37the group of Alya Singh was included by the authorities.
05:40That's why the bypass operation was successful.
05:43Alya Singh's group is the Chinese national known as Alya Chen,
05:47who was also arrested in the operation.
05:49Our upline, the Malaysian national,
05:53is a Chinese national.
05:55They can only be together,
05:59that's why they were both caught.
06:01They were both caught in their upline, the Chinese national.
06:06That's why they were both arrested in our operation.
06:11100 grams of street value worth Php 680,000
06:15were found in two foreign nationals.
06:17According to the SPD, the former POGO workers, Alya Singh,
06:20Since it was announced that the POGO workers here will be banned,
06:28they changed their line of work.
06:33They entered the illegal drug sales.
06:38Most of the prisoners in her prison were former POGO workers.
06:42The SPD is now asking the Bureau of Immigration
06:45if there are any missing documents of the arrested
06:48to be kept in the Philippines.
06:50The two PASAY Police are now holding them.
06:52We are still trying to get their statement.
06:54For JMA Integrated News, I'm Nico Juage, your witness.
06:59The Senate's investigation into the POGO workers has concluded
07:02that it is possible that a former PNP chief
07:04helped Dismissed Mayor Alice Guo to leave the Philippines.
07:07Guo's relationship with the Mayor of Suwal, Pangasinan,
07:10has been cut short and they have no relationship.
07:13Witness, this is Sandra Aguinaldo.
07:19Who helped Alice Guo to leave the Philippines?
07:22Senator Riza Hontiveros asked,
07:24Is it possible that an official or an employee of the government
07:28is involved in the dismissal of an official of the PAGCOR?
07:31I think it was mentioned the former chief PNP.
07:36Which one?
07:37I don't know, ma'am, but former chief PNP.
07:40The PAGCOR has no name of the former chief PNP.
07:45But based on the information they gathered,
07:48there are talks in the intelligence community
07:51that there is a month's notice from Guo.
07:54Is it also included in the talks
07:56that this alleged former chief PNP
07:59was helped by any of our current government officials
08:05in the dismissal of Guo Huaping?
08:10No, ma'am.
08:11The talks there are based on payroll, monthly payroll.
08:19Even worse, if historically, there is a monthly payroll.
08:23The PAGCOR quickly clarified that this is not yet verified.
08:28The former chief PNP said that it is based on hearsay.
08:31They did not get an intelligence report,
08:33but they will continue their investigation
08:36if there are police involved.
08:38Can we know who this former chief PNP is?
08:40I'm concerned because I am a former chief PNP.
08:43Maybe there will be a script
08:46that Bato is receiving money from you.
08:50Nothing like that is happening.
08:54Are you sure?
08:55I'm sure.
08:57We were also asked if it is true
08:59that there is a high-ranking official of the Bureau of Immigration
09:02who received Php 200 million to escape Guo.
09:07In the amount of Php 200 million,
09:09we were able to get intelligence information
09:13with regard to the amount.
09:15But with regard to what I received,
09:18that amount is from a BI personnel
09:23or associated with the BI.
09:28I don't have it yet, but we're still validating.
09:31We're part of the investigation, Madam Chair.
09:33In July, Guo left the Philippines,
09:36but his counter affidavit was notarized in August.
09:40How did that happen?
09:41Now, he is no longer in the country.
09:43According to Guo's secretary, Kat Salazar,
09:46the former chief PNP called her
09:48to find a notary
09:50and to get a document from her house in Banbantarlak.
09:53Who took the document?
09:55It was in the drawer, Your Honor, in her room.
09:59She said she attached it to the last page of her affidavit.
10:04Did you know that Guo was no longer in the Philippines that day?
10:08No, Your Honor.
10:09Ms. G, did you know that Mayor Alice was no longer in the Philippines that day?
10:14No, Your Honor.
10:15I was not in a position to ask where she was.
10:19But did you know that she was preparing to leave that day?
10:23No, Your Honor.
10:26Kat Dante's counter affidavit states that
10:28the person who contacted the notary
10:30personally brought a document from Guo's secretary.
10:34When she returned it because there was no signature,
10:37the secretary went to the van.
10:39One of Guo's accomplices
10:41went down the window and started a fight.
10:43When the secretary returned from the van,
10:45the document already had a signature.
10:47Did you sign the affidavit?
10:49Because we know that Guo was no longer in the Philippines that day.
10:53No, Your Honor.
10:54Guo said earlier that she already signed the signature page of the affidavit
10:58on the first Sunday of July.
11:00I signed the last page of the document.
11:03Where did you sign it?
11:05I signed it before I left.
11:07Who prepared this page for you to sign?
11:10Sen, there was a case filed against me that invoked my right.
11:14Yet, Guo's lawyers did not know that she was no longer in the Philippines
11:18when they filed the counter affidavit.
11:21It is also not personal that they were able to meet
11:24because Guo had a death threat
11:26which was continued by the notary, Atty. Elmer Galicia.
11:29Atty. Galicia lied.
11:32Because it was not signed in front of Atty. Galicia.
11:36Definitely, she lied.
11:38She should also be charged by the DOJ.
11:40I am a victim.
11:42I am invoking my right against self-incrimination.
11:46In the hearing, Kat Salazar admitted
11:48that she called the Executive Secretary of SUAL,
11:51Mayor Liceldo Don Calugay,
11:54to ask for help with the notarization of the document.
11:57Why did you call Ms. Cheryl,
12:02the Chief Executive Assistant of Mayor Calugay,
12:09to ask for help?
12:11That was the instruction of the ma'am.
12:13That is why Senator Riza believes that
12:15Ms. Alice Guo and Mr. Calugay
12:18both denied that they have a relationship.
12:20As for the witnesses in the hearing,
12:22the business seems to be booming.
12:24The names of the two are called.
12:26Most of your names are combined, right?
12:30Guo Hua Ping or Alice Guo.
12:33Lixel, Alice, L-I-C, and Liceldo.
12:37Dong Guo, Dong, and Guo.
12:40And Guo, you even called Dong.
12:43Some of their pictures were also shown together.
12:46According to Guo Hua Ping,
12:48you are just friends.
12:51Is that how you will characterize your relationship?
12:55Yes, Madam Chair, we are just friends.
12:58Just friends?
12:59Yes, Your Honor.
13:00Not just friends?
13:01Just friends, Your Honor.
13:03According to Calugay,
13:04they met Guo in 2016
13:07when he was looking for a pork supplier.
13:09But they don't have a business or bank account together.
13:13That is why the Senate cut the receipts
13:15of construction materials
13:17for the pig farm of the Guo family
13:19named after Calugay.
13:21I did not pay, Madam Chair.
13:23The story is, Mayor Alice called
13:27where to buy cheap construction supplies
13:31because our family business is construction supply.
13:36I declared this receipt, Your Honor.
13:40Please, Mayor, they already know him.
13:43Because in October,
13:45they bought a lot from them.
13:49Php 292,000.
13:52It is not true that
13:54by December, they already forgot Guo Hua Ping
13:57that is why they need to give the receipt under your name.
14:00Madam Chair, we don't have a single business partner.
14:05You are under oath.
14:06If you keep on lying before this committee,
14:11I might force to cite you in contempt.
14:15Your girlfriend already lied.
14:18You still lied.
14:19I surmise that these businesses are just front
14:23for possible money laundering.
14:27Calugay claimed that he has a connection
14:29with Duan Renwu and Cassandra Leo,
14:32two individuals hired by Pogo Hub in Porac, Pampanga.
14:37For GMA Integrated News,
14:39I am Sandra Aguinaldo, your witness.
14:43Gil added that Manila Water's customers
14:46and their income will be reduced
14:48will be expected from October 1.
14:50Because of the Foreign Currency Differential Adjustment or FCDA
14:55or the loss of income of water concessionaires
14:57whenever the exchange rate of Pesos
15:00of other countries if they pay foreign loans.
15:03From October 1 to the end of December,
15:06Manila Water will add Pesos up to P16.54 depending on consumption.
15:14For Manila Water customers,
15:16P83.00 up to P6.00 or P6.43
15:21will be deducted depending on consumption.
15:24When January 1 comes,
15:26the seal will possibly change again
15:28because the MWSS Regulatory Office will pass the FCDA.
15:35The number of Chinese ships
15:37that were spotted in the West Philippine Sea
15:39according to the monitoring of the Philippine Navy.
15:41But in Escoda Shoal,
15:42more than 60 ships of China were still spotted.
15:45Witness Chino Gaston.
15:51In the monitoring of AFP yesterday in Escoda or Sabina Shoal,
15:554 Chinese Navy warships and 52 militia ships were spotted.
16:0065 in total.
16:02After leaving there,
16:04BRP Teresa Magbanwa on Sunday.
16:06But according to the Philippine Navy,
16:24Whether the BRP Teresa Magbanwa was spotted or not,
16:27there are ways to monitor Escoda Shoal
16:30which is located 137 square kilometers
16:33and more than 70 nautical miles away from Palawan.
16:37If Palawan, Manila, Agotas and Malabon join,
16:41Sabina Shoal will be that big.
16:43Presence is not only defined as the physical presence.
16:46By monitoring, we mean that we know what's happening.
16:49We see any changes or any developments
16:52especially on the level of the crash corals.
16:55There's been no marked increase in the pileup of crash corals.
16:58We have not monitored any man-made activity.
17:02According to the Philippine Navy,
17:04of the 207 Chinese ships monitored by the Navy this year,
17:08157 Chinese ships were monitored in the West Philippine Sea.
17:13According to a security analyst,
17:15the situation is more dangerous now
17:17compared to the standoff in Pahudgamasinlok in 2012.
17:21That's why the government should be careful.
17:24First of all, this is closer to Palawan.
17:27Of course, we have greater capabilities to engage the Chinese
17:31and the Coast Guard now has more ships.
17:34We have the support of our treaty allies.
17:36But at the same time, the Chinese have already their own Coast Guard
17:40and it's supported by the Chinese Maritime Militia,
17:43the People's Preservation Army, Navy.
17:46For GMA Integrated News,
17:48I'm Chiro Gaston, your witness.
17:52The Philippine National Police has formed a special tracker team
17:55to track down Attorney Harry Roque,
17:58who was arrested by the camera.
18:00I'm your witness, Ian Cruz.
18:05We're asking for your documents
18:07because of your alleged involvement in the illegal pileup.
18:13You're a man.
18:14You should face us.
18:15You're not the one who's always on the side of the Quad.
18:18This is the challenge of the House Quad Committee
18:20to former Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque.
18:23It's about documents that will prove
18:26in his story that the land was sold
18:29to make money for his corporations
18:32that are now in Pogo.
18:34Yet, Roque's company has been around for a long time
18:36and it has nothing to do with Pogo.
18:39We have no interest in his wealth.
18:42We're interested in the links between the Bianchang Corporation
18:46and the PH2 Corporation
18:48that he owns in Lucky South 99.
18:51Explain to us why your corporation's net worth increased.
18:57In his social media post,
18:59Roque said that he will not be arrested
19:02for investigating PogHub in Pantarlac and Forak, Pampanga.
19:06I'm not a criminal.
19:07I will wait for the Supreme Court's decision.
19:10If the Supreme Court says to release the documents,
19:13I will release them.
19:15But for now, let's wait for the decision of the court.
19:19He should be arrested first.
19:21It's not appropriate for him to go up to the Supreme Court
19:25because there's no justiciable issue yet.
19:28So he should be here first.
19:30Some leaders in the Quad said
19:32that flight means guilt
19:34about Roque's non-confrontation with their committee.
19:38The Congress has the authority to investigate.
19:41What we're looking for, we cannot promise,
19:43not only the Philippine National Police,
19:45but all law enforcement who are helping in the investigation.
19:48We still don't have any info if he will confront us.
19:50But I know that he's still in the country.
19:52There's a lookout bulletin for him.
19:55On Thursday, the next hearing of the Quadcom
19:57will be about the illegal Pogo.
19:59Among the guests in the next hearing of the Quadcom on Thursday,
20:03Dismissed Bamban Mayor Alice Ko
20:05said that the Quadcom has already sent a letter to Valenzuela RTC
20:09and law enforcement is waiting for the notice
20:12if the former mayor can attend the hearing.
20:15For GMA Integrated News, Ian Cruz is your witness.
20:21The Department of Justice just denied
20:23that the court in Timor-Leste did not approve
20:26the decision in favor of the extradition request of the Philippines
20:29for the former congressman Arnulfo Tevez Jr.
20:33According to the DOJ,
20:34Tevez's camp is trying to push the ruling
20:37by questioning the many judges who made the decision.
20:42Tevez's camp only did that
20:44when the court's decision did not favor them.
20:47The DOJ believes that Tevez is about to return to his country
20:51to face complaints against him.
20:54The Filipino fans of the global girl group, Cat's Eye,
20:58are no longer out of touch
21:00because the group has already touched down.
21:02This was led by Lara, Yunche, Daniella, Manon, Megan,
21:07and their Filipino leader, Sofia La Forteza.
21:11Sofia is happy that she's finally back in the Philippines
21:16after three years.
21:18Excited to see her back in the Philippines.
21:21Sofia is the daughter of TV, movie, and stage performer Carla Guevara
21:26who is very proud of her daughter.
21:29Tomorrow, Cat's Eye will have a showcase
21:32that will be followed by other events
21:34such as guesting on It's Showtime.
21:37Eight more victims of the abuse of Pastor Apollo Kiboloy were found.
21:42Three are in the Department of Justice.
21:46And in a statement, Kiboloy's lawyer said
21:49that their claim is clear that there is no death
21:52and that the so-called victims' methods are not true.
21:55The so-called angels of death in the kingdom of Jesus Christ
22:00are not true either.
22:02They have prayer wires that are connected to their spiritual bodies.
22:06The angels of death in the kingdom of Jesus Christ
22:10are not true either.
22:12They have prayer wires that are connected to their spiritual bodies
22:16and not to violence.
22:19A man was able to stop breathing while walking in Turkey.
22:23And he was able to cross the two continents.
22:26A man in Estonia was able to walk in the air
22:30but he was stuck in a slack line
22:32that is connected to a bridge in Istanbul.
22:35His story made it difficult for him to walk
22:38because of the traffic under him.
22:40And the helicopters and airplanes passing above him.
22:45After almost 50 minutes,
22:47he was able to cross more than 1,000 meters of slack line.
22:51From the part of Turkey that is in Asia,
22:54he reached the part that is in Europe.
22:59And we are in Europe.
23:06I am Pia Arcangel.

23:16and for a wider service to the country.
