NewsTranscript
00:00Live from the GMA Network Center, 20 years have passed, 24 hours.
00:12Good evening, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
00:16Senator Alan Peter Cayetano and Senator Juan Miguel Zubiri are shouting and about to reach the Senate tonight.
00:25The tension is rooted in the upcoming resolution in which the district will include the Embo barangays that were moved to Taguig from Makati.
00:34While this is not happening, voters will not be able to vote in the place of their congressman in the upcoming election.
00:41The reason for the defeat in the vote of Ma'am Gonzalez.
00:56Don't shout.
00:58We've been talking for a while.
01:00What do you want?
01:02What do you want?
01:04Senator Alan Peter Cayetano and Senator Juan Miguel Zubiri are about to reach the Senate tonight.
01:11When the shouting intensified, Senator JV Ejercito and Senate Sergeant-at-Arms Roberto Angkan
01:18and Senator Rappia Cayetano and Yakap, the younger brother, ran.
01:22This is a syndicate.
01:24Why are you shouting at me?
01:26I don't care about the vote.
01:29I'm just interested.
01:33I told you, maybe we can talk.
01:36This is too important.
01:38The two senators are about to reach the Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 23
01:43that Cayetano is drafting for the Embo barangays or Enlisted Men's Barrios.
01:48The place, formerly the city of Makati.
01:51But it fell into a territorial dispute.
01:54And in the decision of the Supreme Court in 2022,
01:57the jurisdiction was transferred to them in the city of Taguig.
02:00However, there is still no law in effect where the congressional district in Taguig is included with the Embo barangays.
02:06And while this is not yet there,
02:08Komelec said that more than 200,000 registered voters there
02:13for their congressman in the upcoming election will not be able to vote.
02:16In a session last night,
02:18Cayetano asked to discuss the upcoming resolution
02:21where the district will include each Embo barangay
02:25because the situation is urgent and the filing of the Certificate of Candidacy is near.
02:30But his question is vague.
02:47I can state for the record, Mr. President, it has nothing to do with Makati anymore.
02:52Because all of these barangays are now under Taguig, being administered by Taguig.
02:59And the problem is they will not be able to vote for any…
03:03Just a one-minute suspension.
03:05One-minute suspension, Mr. President.
03:07And this is where the fight and heated argument of the two started.
03:10When the session returned, the two calmed down.
03:13If I raise my voice, it's because, you know, it didn't have to go that way.
03:19And I apologize if I raise my voice, okay?
03:22If it will help you, maybe we can pass this, we can take it up tomorrow.
03:27We did give due courtesy to Senator Nancy even if this involves barangays
03:31that are no longer part of Makati.
03:34But because the chair thought it used to belong to Makati, we cleared it with her.
03:40The response was, seek and confirm or deny the same tomorrow.
03:44It has nothing to do with Makati because it has everything to do with Taguig.
03:50I was with Senate President Zubiri since 1998.
03:54So, maybe we're entitled to one heated argument, which is tonight.
03:58In the end, the two senators shook hands and hugged each other.
04:01The Senate also adopted a resolution that is not a law,
04:05but only expresses the sentiments of the senators.
04:07A while ago, Senator Nancy Binay made fun of Senator Zubiri.
04:15Zubiri said, this is just a miscommunication.
04:18It would have been avoided if there was a consultation with the senators.
04:21When he explained, it's just a mere request of Congress, then okay.
04:25We already agreed with what happened.
04:27We already agreed that I think we shouldn't let our emotions run wild.
04:34Kayatano refused to comment on the issue.
04:36GMA Integrated News went to Embo Barangay in Taguig
04:40and asked the residents there to vote for their congressman.
04:46We're used to having a congressman every vote.
04:51It's our first time that there's no congressman in Embo.
04:55It's ugly.
04:56What's ugly?
04:58That we can't vote for a congressman.
05:04Komalek said, they will wait for Congress' decision on this issue.
05:08For GMA Integrated News, Mav Gonzales for 24 Hours.
05:14Alice Guo signed in the Executive Session
05:18a personality that is involved in the operation of the illegal gun,
05:23as well as a theory that was discussed in the Senate.
05:28Let's look at a senator.
05:30There's a mastermind behind this.
05:33Mav Gonzales is the one behind this.
05:47That's what the Senate was saying when Alice Guo asked
05:52to talk in an Executive Session.
05:54But since that session was confidential,
05:56Senator Arisa Conteveros did not detail
05:59what this theory is or whose personality she signed.
06:03She's also not content with Guo's statements.
06:06Senator JV Ejercito hopes that they can get information from Guo.
06:11He agrees with what Guo said in the Executive Session.
06:15I think there's a mastermind behind this operation.
06:19It's important that she tells us who it is.
06:23But for now, she can't say if Guo can be a state witness.
06:27The state witness, as far as I know, is the least guilty.
06:31If she will tell us who is the most guilty,
06:34then in the DOJ, if they think she can be a state witness,
06:38if she will tell us who are the masterminds.
06:42Meanwhile, the former PNP chief, Benjamin Acorda,
06:46and other PNP officials will be invited
06:49to take a picture with some of the PNP officials.
06:54We deem it important to give them a platform
06:57to respond in the interest of fairness.
07:00General Acorda gave us the assurance,
07:04members of the Council of Chiefs,
07:07that he's not doing anything wrong.
07:10And he's not the PNP chief that we're talking about.
07:14Because General Villanueva's source of information
07:19The committee in the Senate also lifted the contempt order
07:22against Sheila Guo, brother of Manon y Alice,
07:25and ordered her custody of the Bureau of Immigration.
07:29For GMA Integrated News,
07:31Mav Gonzales for 24 Hours.
07:34The former PNP chief, Benjamin Acorda Jr.,
07:38was accused of not being involved in any of Pogo's operations.
07:42This was followed by a long picture in the Senate
07:44where he was with some of the PNP officials
07:47who were connected to Pogo.
07:49Jun Veneracion was there.
07:53When this picture of the former PNP chief,
07:56Benjamin Acorda Jr., was released to the Senate,
07:59it included some of the PNP officials
08:01who were involved in Pogo's illegal operations.
08:03Acorda was hurt.
08:05It was painful because for 27 years,
08:07I tried to keep my records clean.
08:09But just for one picture, or many pictures,
08:12and with so many innuendos,
08:16it was destroyed immediately.
08:18But it was included in the service.
08:21He insisted that he never got involved
08:24in any of Pogo's illegal operations
08:26and other illegal transactions.
08:28He was also the one who ordered
08:30Pogo to be raided in Bantarlac this March.
08:32I never tolerated or transacted illegal activities
08:37with my friends.
08:39If they were involved, I would help them
08:40and my countrymen.
08:42And if there was anything to discuss,
08:44I would do it legally.
08:46I never transacted illegally.
08:48Retired Brigadier General Raul Villanueva's
08:50PACOR official said on September 17
08:53that there were unverified intel reports
08:56that an ex-PNP chief helped Go
08:59and was in Payolo, Panaumano.
09:01In his face-off with the Senate yesterday,
09:03he asked for forgiveness from the former PNP chief
09:06who was affected by what he said.
09:08I can face anybody squarely.
09:10Without flinching an eye,
09:12I can say that we are clean there.
09:15That's why I left.
09:16We have nothing to do there.
09:17When he ran away,
09:19I did not accept money from him.
09:22The Senate said that they will invite
09:24Acorda to the next hearing.
09:26Acorda is ready,
09:28even though he has not yet received
09:30an invitation from the Senate.
09:32For GMI Integrated News,
09:34June Veneracion, Katutok, 24 Hours.
09:37A guard who met a minor online
09:40was forced to leave his house.
09:44The suspect was arrested
09:46while the student who was forced to leave
09:48was in jail in a motel.
09:50Katutok's John Consulta, Exclusive.
09:55As the NBR-NCR agents climbed
09:58the third floor of this motel in Taguig,
10:01this room was quickly destroyed.
10:06Inside, the suspect suddenly ran away.
10:15The suspect was 26 years old
10:17and a senior high school student.
10:19In the investigation of the NBI,
10:21the 29-year-old suspect and the victim
10:24met in a dating app
10:26where a musician introduced the suspect.
10:29The suspect pulled and carried the minor
10:32and returned home in a few minutes.
10:35From the dating app,
10:37he posted it on Instagram
10:39and that's where they started
10:41an intimate exchange of text messages.
10:46Until he really fooled the minor,
10:51they met in a motel
10:55and that's where the abuse happened.
10:58According to the NBI,
11:00the suspect made a discount
11:02to allow his minor to enter the motel.
11:05He said that they will create a fake ID
11:08that will show that the victim is of legal age.
11:12So because of his trickery,
11:15he consumed his child's medicine
11:18and when the child returned home,
11:21the parents were worried
11:23and that's when they found out
11:25that something happened.
11:27We are trying to get the suspect's panic
11:29that is due to the complaint of rape and child abuse.
11:32He did this because according to our investigation,
11:35he has already victimized many minors.
11:38We will call the victims here in the office
11:42so that we can interview them
11:44and receive additional charges.
11:47For GMA Integrated News,
11:49John Consulta,
11:51for 24 Hours.
11:54Certified Urgent.
11:57Certified Urgent.
11:59President Bongbong Marcos
12:01is hurrying up the budget for 2025.
12:05The target is to pass it today
12:07even though the budget of the Office of the Vice President
12:10still needs to be passed in the plenary
12:13which is not yet supported by the Vice President
12:16or anyone in his office.
12:18Ivan Mayrena is on the phone.
12:21We are honored to have...
12:23The Legislative Executive Development Advisory Council
12:26led by the priorities that were discussed earlier
12:29has something important to announce.
12:31Last night, President Bongbong Marcos
12:33approved the urgent
12:35to pass the 5.3 trillion pesos in the national budget
12:38for 2025.
12:40And because today is the last day of the session of the Congress,
12:42before it is adjourned on September 28,
12:44the camera has a promise.
12:46We will finish this evening
12:48due to the certification of this urgent bill.
12:53If it passes through the camera,
12:55the Senate will vote on it
12:57before uniting the versions of both cases
12:59in the Bicameral Conference Committee.
13:01After that, it will be passed to the President
13:04for him to pass the bill.
13:06As of now, the hearings in the Senate Committee are on schedule
13:09and we expect that it will be approved
13:12when there is enough time
13:14for it to be read and reviewed by the President.
13:16One issue that needs to be resolved
13:18is the proposed budget of the Office of the Vice President
13:20that was not defended in the budget hearing.
13:23And secondly, it was not met by VP Sara
13:26or her constituents.
13:28This came to the call of some congressmen
13:30to ask Duterte
13:32if he does not want to be appointed as Vice President
13:34because it was not met until a while ago.
13:36What will happen if the Vice President does not come?
13:40We will wait for the next one.
13:42But no, to be honest,
13:44we will take this matter up shortly
13:47and you will soon be informed of its resolution.
13:51Before tonight's end,
13:53we will come to a resolution.
13:55The OVP is asking for more than 2 billion pesos.
13:58But only more than 733 million pesos was approved
14:02following the tension between the Vice President
14:04and some congressmen
14:05and the Vice President did not attend
14:07the next budget hearings.
14:09Even now, the opposition is because
14:11the Vice President's programs are being monitored
14:12and other activities are being done.
14:14More than 600 million pesos fund
14:16for medical assistance to the poor
14:18was transferred to the Department of Health.
14:20The fund is almost the same
14:22for assistance such as housing, transportation
14:24and other assistance to the poor
14:26was transferred to the DSWD.
14:28Aside from the budget,
14:30the amendment to the EPIRA,
14:32which is far from lowering the price of electricity,
14:34is also a priority in the law this year.
14:36The amendment to the laws regarding
14:38the Universal Healthcare and Agrarian Reform Program
14:40as well as the Law on the Department of Water
14:43and the Law on Long-Term Retirement
14:46in the Areas.
14:48For GMA Integrated News,
14:50Ivan Mejrina reporting for 24 Hours.
14:52Because of a brutal love triangle
14:55where 5 people killed their own friend,
14:58the body was just thrown into the black pit.
15:01Here is my exclusive report.
15:06The next raid by Pasig Police
15:08is the separate target.
15:27Their target is...
15:35The wanted group in the murder case.
15:38Step forward.
15:40Step forward.
15:42Four suspects were arrested.
15:44One remains at large.
15:46We were able to file a case of murder.
15:49Two of them were arrested
15:52during the follow-up operations
15:54upon discovery of the crime.
15:58One is arrested
16:01to a separate operation,
16:03by bus operation.
16:05The other suspect was caught somewhere in Masbate.
16:08According to the investigation of the police,
16:10the victim was helped to stab and stab
16:13by their friend.
16:15The motive is
16:17a love triangle.
16:19This fight
16:21is related to
16:23his ex-girlfriend.
16:25So one of the reasons
16:27is jealousy.
16:29Because this victim
16:31wants to return
16:33to her ex-girlfriend.
16:35Aside from stabbing,
16:37the victim used a screwdriver.
16:39It was wrapped in a blanket.
16:41After that,
16:43they stabbed the septic tank.
16:45There was a hole.
16:47That's where they stabbed the victim.
16:49Then they cemented it.
16:51Through an informant,
16:53the police was able to find
16:55where the body was placed.
16:57We are continuously trying
16:59to find the suspects
17:01who, according to the investigation,
17:03committed a crime
17:05It was validated
17:07that they are involved
17:09in illegal
17:11drug possession.
17:13For GMA Integrated News,
17:15Emil Sumangil,
17:17for 24 Hours.
17:19The Armed Forces of the Philippines
17:21believes that
17:23it is better
17:25for the country
17:27to have a missile launcher
17:29of America
17:31instead of China
17:33because it can reach
17:35the southern part
17:37of mainland China.
17:39Chino Gaston is right.
17:45On one side of Ilocos Norte,
17:47there is a missile system
17:49of America,
17:51the Typhoon,
17:53a mid-range capability
17:55or MRC missile launcher
17:57of the US.
17:59It was brought to the Philippines
18:00by the Armed Forces of the Philippines.
18:02The remaining Typhoon,
18:04Launcher in Luzon,
18:06and subsequent purchase
18:08of ships, airplanes,
18:10and other weapons of the Philippines
18:12was bought by China.
18:14China called it
18:16a source of trouble
18:18and a source of arms race
18:20in the region.
18:22Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr.
18:24If they say there is an arms race,
18:26they are bigger.
18:28If they increase their ballistic capability,
18:30if they reduce their mischief reap,
18:32and the other things
18:34they did to the artificial islands,
18:36if they leave the West Philippine Sea,
18:38they are saying
18:40there is an arms race
18:42and they are the first.
18:44It looks like
18:46their tongues are separated.
18:48But why is China
18:50in charge of maintaining
18:52the Typhoon Missile Launcher
18:54in the country?
18:56The launcher can fly
18:58up to 1,600 kilometers
19:00according to Reuters.
19:02If you look at the map,
19:04the eastern part of mainland China
19:06and any part
19:08of the West Philippine Sea
19:10is within its strike range.
19:12For AFP Chief General Romeo Bronner,
19:14it is better for the country
19:16to maintain the missile launcher here.
19:18If I were given the choice,
19:20I would like to have
19:22the Typhoons here
19:24in the Philippines forever.
19:26Because we need it
19:28for our defense.
19:30We mentioned our intention
19:32that if possible,
19:34the Typhoons
19:36should remain here in the Philippines.
19:38And how did the U.S. respond, sir?
19:40Well, nothing yet.
19:42We're still waiting for their response.
19:44According to a senior government official,
19:46according to Reuters,
19:48America has no plans
19:50to pull out of these.
19:52Secretary Teodoro and General Bronner
19:54are expected to open
19:56the Asian Defense and Security Expo
19:58in Pasay City
20:00where the latest weapons
20:02like smart bombs,
20:04missiles,
20:06armored vehicles,
20:08surveillance systems,
20:10and military drones will be held.
20:12This logistics UAV
20:14can carry 50 kgs,
20:16can be used for delivery
20:18inland and on ship as well.
20:20We attuned these drones
20:22to work in the sea,
20:24so more than 4 nodes
20:26can fly together
20:28and work together
20:30to execute a task.
20:32The Philippine Army
20:34is not looking for an arms race
20:36to buy more military equipment
20:38like fighter jets
20:40like this,
20:42but to have enough capabilities
20:44to defend themselves
20:46on land,
20:48sea,
20:50or sea.
20:52For GMA Integrated News,
20:54I'm Gabby Garcia,
20:56and I'll see you in 24 hours.

21:37Gabby's parents are also there.
21:39In Hong Kong,
21:41another sparkle couple
21:43Mikey Quintos and Paul Salas
21:45are on their getaway.
21:47Mikey posted a video
21:49while hugging each other
21:51at Columbus Victoria Harbor
21:53and Hong Kong Skyline.
21:55Zainab Harake,
21:57a social media personality
21:59and content creator,
22:01is on vacation in Nagoya, Japan
22:03with her fiancé,
22:05Bobby Ray Parks Jr.
22:07A few months after their engagement,
22:09Zainab bought Bobby
22:11an engagement ring
22:13from a jewelry store.
22:15If I get engaged in the Philippines,
22:17I'll get engaged in Nagoya.
22:19While walking on the esplanade,
22:21Zainab suddenly dropped by
22:23and proposed.
22:25But Bobby suddenly laughed.
22:45Zainab said,
22:47even for women,
22:49it's hard to propose
22:51to their boyfriends.
