NewsTranscript
00:00Good morning. Here are the first news updates of GMA Integrated News.
00:18A former police officer and his driver, bodyguard, who was involved in the loss of a beauty pageant contestant, Katherine Camilon, was arrested in 2023.
00:28Last Saturday, former police major Allan De Castro and his driver, bodyguard, Jeffrey were arrested in Balayan, Batangas.
00:37Both were charged with kidnapping and serious illegal detention.
00:41De Castro is accused of having a relationship with the beauty pageant contestant.
00:46Based on the investigation, they will see the day Camilon was missing.
00:50De Castro denied it.
00:52Camilon was last seen in October 12, 2023 in several towns in Batangas, Batay, in CCTV footage.
01:00According to some witnesses, they saw Camilon's blood and the vehicle was transferred and the driver went to Magpantay.
01:09The police found an abandoned vehicle.
01:13According to the PNP-CIDG, the hair strands and blood on the vehicle matched the DNA sample given by Camilon's parents.
01:22De Castro has yet to make a statement and go to Magpantay.
01:27One of the former government officials who was involved in the illegal purchase of COVID-19 supplies during the outbreak of the pandemic was arrested.
01:35In Davao City, Lloyd Christopher Lau, a former officer-in-charge of procurement services of the Department of Budget and Management, was arrested.
01:43He was charged with the Graph case of the Ombudsman in August.
01:47As a PSDB-MOIC, Lau received more than P41 billion in funds from the Department of Health,
01:54which was transferred to his office to buy COVID-19 supplies in 2020.
02:00One of the former government officials who overpriced COVID-19 supplies was Parmalee Pharmaceuticals,
02:05which is a large part of the investigation of the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee.
02:09Lau is currently under the custody of the PNP-CIDG Region 11 and is expected to pay P90,000.
02:16He has yet to make a statement.
02:19Senator Ysonte Veros, one of the investigators of Parmalee Pharmaceuticals,
02:23is expected to admit who is his big boss who is behind the corruption of millions of P1 billion of COVID-19 funds.
02:31Sen. Richard Gordon, chairman of the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee,
02:35was dismayed when he said that the court's sentence for Lau is too low compared to the amount of funds he stole from the people.
02:45Never again.
02:46That was the answer of Vice President Sara Duterte when she was asked if she will be able to defend herself against the Marcos.
02:53The voice of the camera echoed regarding the misuse of the OBP funds.
02:58But she remained calm and left the scene.
03:01First news, Ian Cruz.
03:08Please stand up and raise your right hand.
03:10Vice President Sara Duterte was just seated while the resource persons from the Budget Department and the Commission on Audit
03:18were blaming the House Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability.
03:23The Vice President was the first to be blamed.
03:26What's in your rules is that only witnesses are voting.
03:30You don't have rules for the resource persons.
03:32Ma'am, that's just a term. But you're also considered as a resource person.
03:42Yes, sir. I'm a resource person.
03:45You're also a witness and a resource person.
03:48The vice representative, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, defended the vice president.
03:52We cannot just trivialize.
03:55You're just a witness. You're a witness.
03:58You're also a witness and a resource person.
04:01They are not the same. The Supreme Court says they are not the same.
04:05And somebody who appears to be the accused has a different tier of protection from a witness.
04:11The point of the honorable Arroyo is well taken.
04:15But we will proceed to the outtaking.
04:18If the vice president refused to take her oath, we will respect that.
04:27The hearing was followed by a privileged speech of Manila representative, Rolando Valeriano,
04:32who pointed out the wrong use of the OVP fund.
04:36But the gate of the vice president, they did not do anything wrong and there was no embezzlement of the fund.
04:41If there are any audit findings, they are ready to answer it in court.
04:46And if there is one more case, they will face it in court.
04:50The reason why he is the pointer of the investigation is politics.
04:55What we are witnessing now is no ordinary legislative inquiry.
05:01This exercise is a well-funded and coordinated political attack.
05:07This much is evident from the very words of the privileged speech that prompted this inquiry.
05:17A speech that's simply meant to say, do not vote for Sara on 2028.
05:24It is clear to me that this inquiry is not about misused funds, accountability or governance.
05:32Instead, it is solely aimed at discrediting my name and my office to prevent future political contests.
05:42What you are trying to do is make a case for impeachment.
05:50I am not a candidate for the upcoming election.
05:55In the last hearing of the House Appropriations Panel,
05:58VP Sara emphasized the importance of spending the confidential funds of the OVP in 2022.
06:05The Appropriations Committee also recommended that the OVP budget be increased by more than P1 billion for 2025.
06:13You have the complete freedom to do whatever you wish with the OVP budget.
06:20If you feel that all the documentary submissions are not enough, then by all means, don't give a budget.
06:29You may try to destroy me. You can skin me alive and throw my ashes to the wind.
06:38But let it be known, you will find me unbowed.
06:44The vice-president approached Ms. Chua and asked her to return to her seat.
06:47May I request to leave the inquiry?
06:51Ma'am, you may leave the inquiry considering that you did not vote.
06:55We know that you are doing a lot of things.
06:58The vice-president is excused.
07:03If the Committee on Good Government calls her again,
07:06the vice-president will not check if she can attend the hearing again.
07:10It all depends on what the committee will do.
07:14In the ambush interview,
07:16Vice-President Duterte said that Bicenal Antara is already doing what the bodies are doing to prepare for the impeachment against him.
07:22What they are doing is very obvious. They are practicing what they will do.
07:30We are just doing our job. With respect to impeachment, I don't know anything about it.
07:34I don't know. I have no idea about impeachment. We are just doing our job.
07:41Even if he was not impeached, Vice-President Duterte responded to the statement of Speaker Martin Romualdez
07:47that they will not consent to the hypocrisy and evasion of government agencies regarding the budget.
07:54I know that because you are asking me about his speech.
08:01I am saying that what they are doing inside is what he described in his speech.
08:13For now, they have not talked to President Bongbong Marcos yet.
08:18They last talked to him when he served as Education Secretary.
08:22No. We did not talk to him. We are not friends. We just met because we became running mates.
08:32They also asked if there is a chance for him to have a tandem with Marcos.
08:37Oh never again.
08:38This is the first news. Ian Cruz for GMA Integrated News.
08:44It's raining again in Malabon. How are the people there?
08:49In the first news live of Bea Pinla.
08:56Maris, it's not raining in Malabon anymore.
08:58But the rainfall earlier this morning still left a little bit of rain.
09:02If we can see at the back, there's still a little bit of rain.
09:05But earlier, we were able to see that it's still high.
09:07According to the residents here in Adante Street, they are already used to it.
09:12But they are still asking for permission to live here.
09:16Some of the students that we met earlier, Luzong made it difficult for them to go to their school.
09:22They also said that they will not be able to survive the next typhoons that hit here in the past few months.
09:28The tricycle drivers that we talked to also said that it's hard for them to recover.
09:32Their income is reduced whenever it rains.
09:36They also said that the prices of the stores here went up because their area is quickly flooded.
09:42According to the residents, sometimes even if there's no rain, high tides flood here.
09:48For now, there's not much rain because it's already raining.
09:51But there are still places that need the residents to cross to Rizal Avenue.
10:00And that's the first news from Malabon, Bea Pinla for GMA Integrated News.
10:07Bad times have passed in different places in Metro Manila because of strong winds.
10:12According to Marikina, where the residents are alert, the water level in Marikina River has risen again.
10:19Although the Helen and Hiner typhoons have already left the country,
10:22some residents of Marikina are checking the water level in Marikina River every hour
10:28to prepare for possible floods in their area.
10:31Just like 54-year-old father Elmer, who visited the river park every day,
10:37especially now that it's raining and there's a typhoon.
10:39He said that his exercise is also part of it.
10:42Around 3 o'clock.
10:44Everyday?
10:45Everyday.
10:47Because when I wake up at 2 o'clock, I don't feel sleepy anymore.
10:55When I wake up, I prepare and go for a walk.
11:02You can hear the water level when it's 15.
11:07First, we put on our clothes.
11:14He goes for a walk in Marikina River Park until 7 o'clock.
11:17That's also the daily routine of 61-year-old Susana.
11:21When the water level is high, I immediately go home.
11:26I take my belongings down because I know that if there's a flood, I will separate them.
11:33We will meet later with Ms. Van Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo
11:37on the hearing of the House Quad Committee on the Illegal Floods.
11:41Before that, the NBI released a report that the signatures of Guo in his counter affidavit
11:48and other documents.
11:51We have first news.
11:52This is Dano Tinggungko.
11:58In the Senate hearing, Alice Guo was the one who signed the counter affidavit
12:02that was notarized in Bulacan on August 14.
12:05The Contra is now being questioned in Laysay because Guo was not in the Philippines
12:09during that hearing.
12:10That's why it's impossible for her to be in front of the notary for this.
12:14But Guo said that he signed the counter affidavit on the first week of July
12:19before he left the country.
12:20I signed the last page of the document.
12:24Where did you sign?
12:25I signed it before I left.
12:27Who prepared this page for you to sign?
12:30Sen, there was a case that was filed against me that invoked my right.
12:34But it was revealed in the investigation of the NBI
12:37when Guo compared the signature of the counter affidavit
12:40and his signature in the Senate attendance on September 9
12:43as well as in his S.A.L. and Executive Orders when he was still sitting as mayor,
12:47the signatures did not match.
12:49That's why according to NBI Director Jaime Santiago,
12:52Guo is lying.
12:54Sen. Risa Ontiveros said that the chairperson of the committee
12:58that investigates POGO should answer that it's not just the client but also the lawyer.
13:03And it should also be investigated by the Integrated Bar of the Philippines.
13:07We are still trying to get the statement of Guo's lawyer
13:10about the results of the investigation of the NBI.
13:12But according to the counter affidavit of Guo,
13:16even if it's not a personal question,
13:18Guo's lawyers have a small chance of the Justice Department
13:21that they may also return.
13:23If you file a case, especially if it's a lawyer who is doing his job,
13:30and you don't have evidence, just speculations,
13:33that's rare because we can also file a case in a hotspot.
13:39Qualified Human Trafficking has been added to the cases that Guo is facing in court.
13:44The case that was filed in Pasig RTC is now available according to the DOJ.
13:48The DOJ is hoping that the warrant of arrest will be issued by the court,
13:51especially since the Senate has already announced
13:53the last possible hearing on the issues related to POGO.
13:57There is a possibility that she will already be released from the Senate's custody.
14:01The DOJ has no jurisdiction over the courts
14:04to determine the timing of releasing or issuing the warrant of arrest.
14:08Of course, it would be in our favor that she won't be released.
14:14Guo's camp plans to hold a peance
14:16when the Senate's contempt order will be released.
14:19Who wants a person to be jailed in Pasig City?
14:22You have no conviction.
14:24Meanwhile, here in the facility of POGO,
14:28her safety is of prime concern.
14:32David assured that when it comes to the court, Guo will speak.
14:37In court, the prosecution can't say that you're lying, that it's not true.
14:43They can't say that they don't believe you, that you're lying.
14:46That's not allowed.
14:48Meanwhile, the PNP said that they are taking the Senate hearing seriously
14:52and that the former PNP chief, Omanon,
14:54is on the payroll of Guo and helped him escape.
14:58Well, no less than the chief PNP talked to me about that,
15:02and he said that he wants to tell our fellow media
15:06that there is no sacred cow in this investigation,
15:10even if it means holding liable a former chief PNP.
15:15Following Guo's escape,
15:17there are other names being investigated by the PNP,
15:19but there is no former PNP chief.
15:21We will see how far we can get evidence
15:27against this so-called former chief PNP.
15:32According to the former PNP chief and now Senator Bato de la Rosa,
15:36the former PNP chiefs are in charge of this information.
15:4024 ex-PNP chiefs are still alive today.
15:44So before they released him,
15:47they confirmed that he was validated,
15:50and once validated,
15:53they should know who he really is and say his name,
15:57not just say that he's a former chief PNP.
16:01It's like a conspiracy.
16:06What is this?
16:08Is this part of a grand political plan?
16:12It's like being part of a conspiracy.
16:17This is the first news,
16:20for the GMA Integrated News.
16:22The security of the police is tight for Alice Guo
16:25who is facing interrogation by the Quad Committee of the Camera later.
16:28First news live from James Agustin.
16:31James?
16:35Good morning.
16:36We are now outside the PNP Custodial Center in Camp Krame.
16:40The release of the convoy of Alice Guo
16:43towards the camera today.
16:45This is the first time that Guo is facing the camera
16:47in the continuation of the interrogation of the Quad Committee
16:49for the illegal operation of POGO,
16:51or Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators.
16:53This is the first request of the Quad Committee
16:55to the Valenzuela Regional Trial Court
16:56to bring Guo to the interrogation.
16:58According to Police Colonel Gene Fajardo,
16:59the spokesperson of the Philippine National Police,
17:01a court order has been issued ordering the police
17:04to bring Guo to the camera.
17:05Yesterday, Guo's lawyer also visited the Custodial Center.
17:09The security protocol is still tight
17:10that the PNP Headquarters Support Service will carry out.
17:13It is expected that he is wearing a bulletproof vest,
17:15a Kevlar helmet,
17:16and that Guo is in a state of shock.
17:17Just like his two visits to the Senate hearing,
17:20after he was arrested in Indonesia.
17:23Meanwhile, this morning,
17:24we saw that there is a movement here in the PNP Custodial Center.
17:27There are police who came here
17:29from the PNP Headquarters Support Service
17:32with the convoy.
17:33We also saw an ambulance
17:35from the PNP General Hospital.
17:37We are anticipating the arrival of a carousel bus,
17:41a coaster bus
17:43where Alice Guo will ride.
17:46That's all for now.
17:47I'm James Agustin for GEMI Integrated News.
17:52The recruitment of the Armed Forces of the Philippines
17:55by the reservists continues
17:56to strengthen the national strength.
18:00They are among those who will fight
18:02in case tensions rise in the West Philippine Sea.
18:06We have first news from Chino Gaston.
18:10Their plan is closed.
18:13In case China continues to stop the Philippine ships
18:16from going home from the war,
18:18it is not only the soldiers of the AFP
18:20who will be called to defend the country.
18:23Reservists or civilians trained in military training
18:28and part of the AFP Reserve Command
18:30are included in the estimated 150,000 military forces.
18:34As of now, the number of reservists in the country
18:38Preparation should start immediately.
18:41Nowadays, the war will be by missiles, by drones.
18:49We call it cyber warfare or destroying the internet.
18:54That's why we need to recruit internet specialists.
19:00The 52-year-old nurse, Merjane de Guzman,
19:04is among those who enlisted in the AFP Reserve Command Recruitment
19:07that was conducted in San Juan.
19:09My father and my uncles are soldiers.
19:12Somehow, I have a background.
19:16Since I was a child, I've always wanted to be a soldier.
19:20Aside from her, some LGU officials also enlisted.
19:24It is important that our mothers are given sufficient training
19:29and knowledge in being a reservist.
19:33One of the reserve units is the 2nd Signal Reserve Battalion
19:37of Sunshine Media Network Inc.,
19:39the media company of the KOJC of Pastor Apollo Quibuloy.
19:43Based on the records of the Philippine Army,
19:45the SMNI has more than 400 reservists.
19:48There is no problem for the members of religious organizations to be reservists
19:53as long as they are not involved in illegal activities.
19:57One of the police is now looking for the so-called Angels of Death,
20:01a private army of pastors.
20:04Once there is an investigation, once the report is finalized,
20:08they will identify the reservists involved in illegal activities.
20:13The Philippine Army can recommend that we can remove them from the roster of the reserve force.
20:19Quibuloy's lawyer denied that he has a private army.
20:23Meanwhile, for those who want to be enlisted,
20:27open the booths in San Juan City Hall atrium until the end of the month.
20:31Just bring the requirements for enlistment
20:34and remember that the requirements for commissioning are different.
20:39This is the first news, Chino Gaston for GMA Integrated News.
