NewsTranscript
00:00Live from the GMA Network Center, 20 years have passed, 24 hours.
00:12Good evening, John Visayas and Mindanao.
00:16One of the local partners of Miru System, the supplier of automated counting machine for the election 2025.
00:25That will be done by Tahinang Comelec because it is connected to several possible races in local and national elections.
00:32In the midst of this, Comelec has a cry for the integrity of the election.
00:37And Sandra Aguinaldo is here live.
00:40Sandra, the election is still going on, right?
00:43Yes, Bell, Vicky, Emil.
00:45Today, Comelec announced the withdrawal of the St. Timothy Construction Corporation.
00:51This is one of the local partners of Miru Systems.
00:56It was decided to supply our automated counting machines that will be used in the election.
01:02St. Timothy Construction Corporation is one of the three local partners of Miru
01:08that will supply the ACM that will be used in the election 2025.
01:13This is after Comelec learned that there are some personalities,
01:18actually they are saying that there is an owner connected to St. Timothy
01:23that can run in the local and national position.
01:28Comelec immediately told St. Timothy that they will not allow the integrity of the election to be questioned.
01:35And as a reaction to this, St. Timothy withdrew from its joint partnership with Miru Systems.
01:46Comelec said that there is no effect on the integrity of the machines,
01:51because the company's role in the joint venture is as an NFCC,
01:58or Net Financial Contracting Capacity,
02:00or the so-called credit line for the funds that will be needed.
02:06Here is the statement of Comelec Chairman George Erwin Garcia.
02:11St. Timothy officially withdrew from the partnership, from the joint venture.
02:19We are informed that it was accepted by our two remaining partners in the joint venture.
02:24If that is the case, we immediately acted on it and referred it to the law department
02:30so that the law department of Comelec can immediately study that it was not accepted
02:37that we have a partner, a provider, that can run in the election
02:43because the integrity of our election will be compromised.
02:48Because in our opinion, it is also a favor to them.
02:51If we lose, then it's okay.
02:55But what if we win?
02:57Then what will they say?
02:59Maybe the election will be canceled.
03:02Vicky, that is what Chairman Garcia and Commissioner Bulay were telling us earlier,
03:08that the role of St. Timothy Construction has nothing to do with the technical aspect
03:15or the development of the machines.
03:17So, it can be said that until now, the integrity of the machines we will use in the election 2025 remains, Vicky?
03:26Sandra, will this development have no effect in the election?
03:30Because if St. Timothy is gone, who will fill this credit line or fund that is needed for the project?
03:41Vicky, that's it.
03:42It's good that we asked Chairman Garcia that question earlier.
03:47And he said that there are other options because St. Timothy is just called the NFCC, the credit line.
03:56It means that they are not exactly the ones who will fund the production of the machines.
04:03And in the estimate of Commissioner Bulay,
04:05it is only 2% of the participation in the production of the machines.
04:12And this whole contract as preparation for the election.
04:17But at the same time, Vicky, Chairman Garcia is saying that there are other options
04:24that can be used to get funds.
04:27There are still two local partners in Miru.
04:31And they are saying that if it is not possible, there are other ways.
04:35For example, Spokesperson Atty. Jan Rex Laudianco mentioned earlier
04:42that they can get a bank to be the credit line for the production of the machines.
04:52But Sandra, have the machines been bought?
04:54As of now, Vicky, Comelec and Miru Systems are telling us that 50% of the machines are already finished.
05:07And of course, they are waiting for it because the delivery is in tranches until December.
05:13That's why they are saying that it will continue and it will not be postponed.
05:18Sandra, before the withdrawal of St. Timothy,
05:22Comelec Senators asked if they did a background check and due diligence to this company.
05:29Did they not see before the possible connection of this company to the personalities
05:34who have plans to run for the election?
05:36Actually, Vicky, what they are saying, we also asked earlier,
05:40did they foresee or did they not see that there are plans for the election
05:47for some of the owners of St. Timothy?
05:51But what they are saying is,
05:54because the bidding for the machines that we will be using started a long time ago,
06:00they are saying that there is nothing to say or there is nothing to remember.
06:04And it is possible that there is still no decision at that time regarding their run.
06:09At the same time, they are saying, Vicky, earlier,
06:13that it is not a part of the papers or what we call the incorporation papers of St. Timothy,
06:20the personalities that are said to be able to run for the election.
06:24But that part, Vicky, has not yet been explained by Comelec,
06:28so we will wait for their next statements on this issue, Vicky.
06:33Let's wait. Thank you very much, Sandra Aguinaldo.
06:37And just now, Miru Systems released a statement.
06:41According to the company, St. Timothy Construction Corporation withdrew the STG
06:46from the bid for the machines.
06:49According to the company, St. Timothy Construction Corporation or STCC withdrew
06:55as their local partner due to a possible conflict of interest.
06:59They also have two local joint venture partners,
07:03Integrated Computer Systems and Centerpoint Solutions.
07:07Miru said, although STCC has a role to follow the regulatory compliance requirements,
07:13they have no contribution to the construction of their voting machines
07:19or the services that will be used in the 2025 national and local elections.
07:24In their continued preparation, they have 50,000 automated counting machines
07:30and were subjected to acceptance tests,
07:33and 100% of other election peripherals and printing machines.
07:38Miru insisted that the withdrawal of STCC will have no effect
07:44on their promise to provide a better automated election system for Filipinos.
07:52The two taxi drivers in Baguio City fought fiercely.
07:58One of them was killed,
08:00who was helped by his cousin and brother, Maav Gonzalez.
08:08This white car crashed in the middle of the road
08:12on Asin Road in Baguio City on Tuesday night.
08:17The camera was not captured,
08:19but the taxi driver who was introduced as Johnson Pelayo
08:24by another taxi driver and his cousin, who was accused of helping the victim, was shot.
08:29After that, the suspects quickly ran away
08:33and Pelayo was left bleeding on the road.
08:35Based on the investigation of Baguio City Police,
08:39he was found dead in the middle of the road.
08:41Allegedly, the victim overtook,
08:45and the suspect was not happy with the victim's overtaking,
08:52that's why he was found dead in the middle of the road,
08:55and allegedly, he was injured.
09:00Pelayo was hospitalized for 21 years,
09:03but he recovered.
09:05His cousin, who is a suspect, also surrendered to the police
09:08and is now in jail in Baguio City Police Office Station 9.
09:12They refused to face the camera,
09:14but they admitted to what they did.
09:16The cousin will face a murder case.
09:18The two suspects were already inquested last night,
09:23and the murder case against them was filed or referred to the prosecutor's office.
09:29For GMA Integrated News, Maav Gonzalez,
09:3324 Hours.
09:35A police officer who was also involved in a street fight in Quezon City,
09:40posted a viral video of a police officer shooting
09:44and stabbing a drunk truck driver.
09:47Jun Venaracion was the target.
09:52In this viral video,
09:54a man wearing shorts and a T-shirt
09:57while shooting a truck driver
10:00at NLEX Mindanao Toa Plaza.
10:02When the driver got off the truck,
10:04he grabbed the gun while forcing it to be dropped.
10:10The video was cut after the man with the gun shot the truck driver.
10:17The man with the gun was identified in the road rage incident
10:21by a police officer from the PNP Civil Security Group.
10:25Based on the police report,
10:27the truck driver stabbed the driver
10:29while driving the police vehicle.
10:31But the driver ran away.
10:33So they were chasing the NLEX,
10:35which was on its way home from the heat.
10:37Even though the barangay was in order,
10:39the police will still face an administrative investigation.
10:42He was relieved of his position in the SAC,
10:46Fairview,
10:48and he was also ordered to turn over his gun.
10:53As for Lamina,
10:55according to the standard operating procedure,
10:56she was arrested for assaulting the driver.
11:00We will assure the public
11:02that if there are violations on the part of our personnel,
11:07we will be filing appropriate administrative charges
11:11and sanctions will be given to our personnel.
11:16The PNP always reminds the police
11:19and the public to be careful,
11:22especially when on the road.
11:24For GMA Integrated News,
11:26June Vedrasoy was elected for 24 hours.
11:29Another action star
11:31wants to get a seat in the Senate.
11:34At the same time,
11:36she hired candidates for the 2025 election,
11:38the party re-electionists.
11:41And Sandra Aguinaldo was elected.
11:46Not only in music and dance,
11:51because just like a real party,
11:53there is food on day 3 of the COC filing.
11:57But it's still fun outside.
12:00Because inside Manila Hotel,
12:02the mood of hiring candidates
12:05is still serious.
12:07From the former mayor of Agusan del Sur,
12:09Jose Bonilla,
12:11and Jaime Balmas
12:13of the Partidong Kilusan ng Bagong Lipunan or KBL.
12:16But especially when Dr. Liza Ong is facing
12:19a candidate for her mister,
12:22Doc Willie Ong.
12:24She was convinced that Ong can serve
12:26even if he has cancer
12:28that he is being treated in Singapore.
12:30At the same time,
12:32their COC filed the re-electionist senators,
12:35Senator Bong Go
12:37and Senator Bato de la Rosa
12:39under the Partidong PDP Laban.
12:42Their party,
12:44the actor Phillip Salvador,
12:46also hired a COC.
12:48Next is Elpidio Rosales of the Partidong KBL.
12:52Robert Agad,
12:54former OFW and licensed therapist
12:57who ran as a senator as an independent.
13:00Khaled Casimra,
13:02a graduate of the Information Technology course
13:04who ran as an independent.
13:06Jaime Salapantan,
13:08he met an engineer
13:10and worked in the shipping industry.
13:12He was followed by Rex Noel,
13:14an independent
13:15who did not interview the media.
13:17The COC also hired Roel Pacquiao
13:20who is not sure
13:22if Pacquiao is the son of boxing champ Manny Pacquiao.
13:25For GMA Integrated News,
13:27Sandra Aguinaldo with Tutok,
13:2924 Hours.
13:31The leader of the party
13:33of former President Rodrigo Duterte,
13:35the PDP Laban,
13:37was criticized
13:39that it cannot be considered as an opposition.
13:41According to the party president,
13:43Senator Robin Padilla,
13:45he was the one
13:47who talked to Duterte.
13:49The former president did not say anything
13:51about President Bongbong Marcos.
13:54They only discussed a few issues
13:56like geopolitics.
14:03I cannot classify
14:06that we are an opposition
14:09to the last statement
14:11of the former president,
14:13Rodrigo Rojo Duterte.
14:15He is not corrupt like Bongbong.
14:17I think
14:19there is nothing good in that.
14:22The storm of Hulian
14:24entered the Philippine area of responsibility
14:26again this morning.
14:28In the last wave,
14:30two people were seriously injured
14:32and eight were wounded.
14:34More than 300 houses were destroyed
14:36while more than 200,000 individuals
14:38were affected.
14:40In Batanes,
14:42where almost 100 tourists
14:43were stranded,
14:45Joseph Boroc was live.
14:47Joseph.
14:50Emil, for many residents
14:52here in Batanes,
14:54almost no one was left
14:56in their homes
14:58when the storm hit Hulian.
15:00Just like the house behind us
15:02here in San Antonio.
15:04Not only that,
15:06more than 200 tourists and residents
15:08were stranded here in Batanes
15:10because of the storm.
15:13From Himbabawit,
15:15we can see the effects
15:17of the super-typhoon Hulian
15:19in Batanes.
15:21The natural beauty of the province
15:23that was visited by tourists
15:25was replaced by images
15:27of destroyed houses,
15:29houses, and estates.
15:31Telecommunications here
15:33because
15:35most of the time
15:37when there is an earthquake
15:39they cannot contact.
15:41So the National Government
15:43and the radio system
15:45Some residents
15:47want to leave the province
15:49because they lost their livelihood.
15:51We don't have income yet
15:53so while we don't have power
15:55but eventually
15:57when we get our power back
15:59we will come back here.
16:01But the problem is
16:03there is no commercial flight
16:05out of Batanes
16:07so they are stranded here.
16:09Many tourists were also affected
16:11by the beautiful vacation
16:13or who came from America
16:15and are just on vacation.
16:17The trip was cancelled 5 times.
16:19I can see the wind
16:21and the clouds are flying
16:23over the hill.
16:25Of course, that's my first time
16:27to experience that.
16:29Signal number 4.
16:31But despite the hardship
16:33they were able to find a place
16:35for their stranded passengers.
16:37You would think that this group
16:39are long-time friends
16:41but this is the only place
16:43for them to work.
16:45I might be replaced.
16:47I'm under HR.
16:49Fortunately, today,
16:51a C-130 arrived
16:53because the Office of Civil Defense
16:55and DSWD brought relief goods
16:57and water needed by the residents.
16:59Those who want to ride
17:01especially the tourists
17:03are our priority.
17:05If you want to ride
17:07just go to Lawag City.
17:09Of the 200 residents
17:11and tourists stranded
17:13here in Basco, Batanes
17:15who were able to ride
17:17because of the storm
17:19in the C-130
17:21of the government.
17:23This is not directed
17:25to Manila
17:27but to Lawag first
17:29and they will look for
17:31places to go home
17:33to their provinces.
17:35There are also tourists
17:37left in Batanes
17:39who are still waiting
17:41for a ride.
17:43This is the only place
17:45for the residents
17:47to ride.
17:49He promised
17:51that we will be given
17:53iron
17:55and the DNR
17:57will give us
17:59around 70,000
18:01board feet
18:03of wood
18:05from
18:07Region 2.
18:09That's the only thing
18:11that can solve
18:13the damaged houses
18:15totally and
18:17partially damaged houses.
18:19It's free.
18:24Emil,
18:26the Office of Civil Defense
18:28has added
18:3011 tourists
18:32who left here
18:34in Batanes
18:36and will ship
18:38relief goods
18:40for the province.
18:42For the tourists
18:44and residents
18:46who want to leave Batanes,
18:48is there a special flight
18:50for them?
18:52Tomorrow,
18:54there is an important event
18:56in the province
18:58so it's not a priority
19:00to send tourists
19:02and residents home
19:04but the locals
19:06who want to go
19:08to Manila
19:09or other parts
19:11of the country
19:13except Batanes.
19:15Joseph,
19:17for the residents
19:19affected by the storm,
19:21is there information
19:23on when they can receive
19:25materials like
19:27iron and wood?
19:29How is the food supply
19:31and clean water?
19:33The food supply
19:35has been prepositioned
19:37by the DSWD.
19:39The food packs
19:41are ready
19:43to distribute
19:45during the storm.
19:47It's hard to get water
19:49so we sent
19:51the OCD
19:53mineral water
19:55here this morning.
19:57Another question, Emil?
19:59This is about
20:01Joseph,
20:03the food supply
20:05and clean water.
20:07The iron and wood
20:09will take time
20:11to arrive.
20:1370,000 board feet
20:15from DNR
20:17and from Region 2
20:19in Cagayan.
20:21Tomorrow,
20:23there will be
20:25an announcement
20:27for the local
20:29communities.
20:31They will be called
20:33at 8am
20:34and it's ready
20:36for them tomorrow.
20:38Thank you very much,
20:40Joseph Morong.
21:04Early in the morning,
21:068 motorcyclists
21:08arrived in front
21:10of a convenience store.
21:12They were stopped
21:14on the side of the road
21:16and later
21:18they saw two men
21:20riding a motorcycle.
21:22They put it aside
21:24and held it
21:26while inspecting
21:28the motorcycle's papers.
21:30A few moments later,
21:32the CCTV video
21:34was released
21:36by the PNP-IAS.
21:38Three policemen
21:40were with the group
21:42of two men.
21:44According to the family,
21:46this is the last time
21:48the two men
21:50were seen alive
21:52and they are still missing.
21:54This group
21:56of policemen
21:58and the barangay civilians
22:00were the last
22:01people
22:03they saw alive.
22:05Yesterday,
22:07the PNP-IAS issued a resolution
22:09to arrest the two policemen
22:11while one of them
22:13was suspended
22:15even though they were not
22:17notified by the PNP-IAS.
22:19Their checkpoint was not
22:21authorized.
22:23You should be wearing
22:25uniform,
22:27you should have clear
22:29signals,
22:31you should know
22:33that the two policemen
22:35are with you.
22:37The barangay people
22:39were also with the checkpoint
22:41and filed a criminal case.
22:43We continue to work hard
22:45to get the police
22:47to face criminal cases
22:49of the children
22:51of the missing victims.

24:57the universe is very aligned
24:59for the two of us right now.
25:01Although,
25:03it's a waste of time
25:05for the two of us to be together
25:07but it's okay,
25:09everything will be worth it.
25:11For now,
25:13Naururo is training
25:15for a new project.
25:17I'm studying Filipino Martial Arts
25:19so we're about to reveal
25:21what that preparation is for.
25:23Actually,
25:25it's going to be a new skill set
25:27and actually,
25:29we haven't shared it yet
25:31but soon.
25:33Ruka also says
25:35it's a quality time
25:37to workout with
25:39Naururo's family.
25:41They told me that
25:43that's the best gift
25:45that we can give
25:47to our parents,
25:49to Airpods,
25:51to Mama,
25:52to our kids.
25:54And eventually,
25:56they don't want to skip.
25:58For us to be able to bond
26:00with Naururo's family that way
26:02that we train them
26:04at the same time
26:06we are able to help them
26:08improve their lifestyle
26:10and make them healthier
26:12is so nice because
26:14our bond is different now.
26:16Pobre Carampel,
