00:00Visited by President Bongbong Marcos are those who are affected by the typhoon Julián in Batanes.
00:05We will be joined again on the spot by Joseph Moro.
00:08Welcome!
00:12Yes, Connie, as you can see behind me,
00:15these are our countrymen here in Basco, Batanes,
00:18who are lined up for the assistance provided by the local and national government.
00:24They include financial assistance, iron,
00:28and first aid kits, wood, and family food packs.
00:32President Bongbong Marcos just visited Batanes,
00:38where he was given a second round of family food packs,
00:41first aid kits, and wood for his visit to Basco, Batanes.
00:45Before this, President Bongbong Marcos had the opportunity to visit
00:50the residents of their homes who were affected by the typhoon Julián,
00:56as well as the Batanes Central School.
00:58During his visit to the province of Connie,
01:00President Bongbong Marcos witnessed the typhoon in Batanes.
01:04President Bongbong Marcos said that in terms of infrastructure,
01:06the majority of the buildings were affected by the typhoon Julián.
01:10With the assistance of the officials of Batanes,
01:12the President of Batanes, Governor Marie Lucaico,
01:15gave the President the need for the residents to rebuild or repair their homes.
01:23According to the local government,
01:25more than 2,000 houses were damaged by the typhoon Julián that hit here.
01:31The damaged houses will be given free iron and wood,
01:36as well as financial assistance.
01:38According to the province,
01:39the damage caused by the typhoon Julián is worth more than Php 813 million.
01:48Here is President Marcos' statement.
01:54The Speaker of the House has requested a release of Php 15 million.
01:59With the assistance of the office of the President,
02:02we will release Php 25 million for you.
02:07The next thing we need to do is to rebuild.
02:13Because I saw the damaged houses, especially the people,
02:18they were all damaged.
02:21So that is what we will do next.
02:27According to President Marcos' statement,
02:30Governor Lucaico said that he will appeal to the national government
02:34for a moratorium on the prohibition of the residents of the area
02:37to collect stones and sand because it is a protected area.
02:40According to the President,
02:41he will discuss this with the DENR.
02:46Thank you very much, Joseph Moro.
02:48A man was caught stealing in a parked pickup truck in Bacolod City.
02:54On CCTV, the man driving a motorcycle was seen parked next to the pickup truck.
03:00The man was shocked when he tried to open the passenger seat window.
03:06It was difficult for him,
03:07so he tried to open the passenger seat window.
03:12He saw that someone was stealing inside the truck,
03:15but he suddenly left.
03:17According to the owner of the truck,
03:19the bag inside the pickup truck might be the target of the man.
03:22But there was no bag inside,
03:24so it is possible that the man did not continue to steal it.
03:28The police investigated the incident.
03:32The President appointed the Association of Barangay Captains of Bulacan.
03:36He is with his driver.
03:39Breaking news from Bea Pinla.
03:43At 5 p.m. yesterday,
03:45this SUV traveled from Barangay Ligas to Malolos, Bulacan.
03:49It was driven by the President of the Association of Barangay Captains of Bulacan, Ramil Capistrano.
03:54It was not captured on CCTV what happened on the side of the road,
03:58but it was seen that people were running and the vehicles were moving backwards.
04:04The group of Capistrano was ambushed.
04:07The vehicle collided with the road.
04:09Capistrano and his 23-year-old driver were killed.
04:13The other two SUV drivers, including one of Capistrano's staff, were able to escape.
04:20Someone called us and said that someone was shooting.
04:25We responded and saw that it was still moving backwards,
04:29but it was still moving and smoking, so we couldn't get close.
04:32The tire exploded.
04:34An ambulance arrived, but they were already dead.
04:38Inside the vehicle, holes were drilled in the windows and seats where the bullets went.
04:45According to the police, not less than 50 bullets.
04:48were recovered in the possession of the victim.
04:51It is still unknown who the killers are, what the motive for the crime is, and if it has anything to do with politics.
04:58The family of Capistrano refused to give a statement.
05:02Some of his colleagues could not believe what he said.
05:06We were surprised. Of course, he was gone.
05:10He is a good man. He is helpful. He is also generous.
05:17Yesterday, we were shocked. Even his driver was still a child.
05:26We were shocked. He is a good man. He was just with us when it happened.
05:31We never thought that something like that would happen to him.
05:34They also said that Capistrano has no known enemies.
05:38Actually, none. In the nine years that he was a lawyer in Bumbulacan, there is none.
05:45Bea Pinlac reporting for GMA Integrated News.
05:49One of the three local partners of Miru Systems withdrew from the joint venture partnership
05:55for the supply of automated counting machines that will be used in the election of 2025.
06:00This is after the Comelec learned that there are some personalities connected to the St. Timothy Construction Corporation
06:07that could run for local and national positions.
06:11According to Miru Systems, the STCC withdrew due to a possible conflict of interest.
06:17The STCC is one of the members of the joint venture.
06:21They also have two local partners.
06:24Even though the STCC has a paper to comply with the regulatory compliance requirements,
06:29they say that the company has no direct contribution to the production of their voting machines
06:35or services that will be used in the 2025 national and local elections.
06:41Day 4 of the signing of the Certificate of Candidacy.
06:45We will talk again with Comelec Chairman George Erwin Garcia from the Manila Hotel, Kansas City.
06:51Good morning to you, Chairman Garcia.
06:57Good morning, Ma'am Connie, and good morning to our fellow countrymen.
07:01Let's start with the withdrawal of one of the three local partners of Miru Systems.
07:06How will this affect the upcoming election of 2025?
07:10And do they need to be replaced?
07:16Ma'am Connie, to our fellow countrymen, don't worry because this has no effect
07:21on our preparations for the 2025 national and local elections.
07:25Because at the moment, 50% of the machines have already been delivered to us
07:31and are in the warehouse of Comelec in Binan, Laguna.
07:34The other 10 peripherals, such as laptops and other devices that will be used on the day of the election,
07:40100% have already been delivered to us.
07:43The commitment of Miru Systems of Korea is that by November, not December,
07:48by November, earlier, they will be able to deliver the total of 110,000 machines to our country.
07:55So it means that even if St. Timothy is gone as one of the partners,
08:00the Philippine partner, this will not affect them
08:03and they will not participate in the technical aspect of Miru Systems.
08:09Okay.
08:10One of the reasons for the withdrawal of St. Timothy Construction is a possible conflict of interest.
08:15Did we specifically discuss the positions and where some of the owners of the company will run?
08:24Based on our knowledge, Ma'am Connie, the national and local positions,
08:28we cannot say specifically what position this is.
08:31But as you know, the Commission on Election took action and our stand became proactive.
08:36When we heard that there's a possibility that they will run,
08:39even if it's not official, if it's possible that the company will run,
08:43we should immediately express the sentiment of the whole Commission and Bank
08:48that they will choose, either they will run or they will withdraw from our contract
08:54or become one of the partners or joint venture partners of Miru Systems.
08:59And we said that they cannot run and they are still in the partnership.
09:04After that, we will force them to disqualify because of conflict of interest.
09:10So yesterday, Ma'am Connie, they deserve to withdraw as a joint venture partner.
09:16Yes.
09:17But is there nothing in the contract for the partners of Comilag or Miru particularly
09:23that if they will become a partner in the election,
09:27none of them should run?
09:29Is there something like that in their contract?
09:37The contract or the pro forma form that needs to be filed,
09:42Comilag is forcing the Government Procurement Policy Board
09:46that maybe we can put a provision that if there's an interest in politics,
09:52it should be automatically removed.
09:55You know, we were not allowed because this is a pro forma form
09:59that means it's applicable to all agencies of the government.
10:04That's why we were not allowed to put the provision that we really want.
10:08We have been insisting for a long time, even if it's not our last procurement,
10:14in the past month.
10:16And moving forward, how will Comilag ensure that in the future,
10:21the suppliers and service providers in the election,
10:24there will not be a conflict of interest again?
10:31You know, what Comilag will do is we will talk to the Government Policy Procurement Board
10:37that if Comilag can be exempted due to the form that they are enforcing
10:43to other parties or agencies of the government.
10:45We hope that we can put a provision there that if one of our partners or contractors
10:51engages in politics, they will be automatically removed from our contract
10:57and there may be liability, administrative or civil.
11:01Don't worry citizens, because of our experiences,
11:04we will force it in the next transactions that will be entered by the Commission.
11:10Okay.
11:11How did it happen that a construction company became a partner of Miru Systems?
11:16The Senate said that there is no prohibition for a construction company to take part.
11:23So how is this?
11:28You are right, Ma'am Connie, during our hearing in the Senate,
11:31that this question was also given and of course, it became an answer to the existing law
11:36at that time when we were procuring,
11:38a construction firm was not prohibited from participating in the bidding of Comilag,
11:44especially if this is just a part of a joint venture.
11:47We said that there is no need for an electoral experience to be a partner or provider of Comilag.
11:55After our bidding, we had a new law in procurement
12:00and in our new law in procurement,
12:02it is very clear now that in order to participate in the bidding of Comilag,
12:06you need to have an election-related experience.
12:11And you are looking at a bank as a partner of STCC, is that right?
12:21Actually, in the resolution that we will release today,
12:25it is stated that the remaining two Philippine partners of Miru
12:31need to come up with the so-called letters of credit or if not,
12:36the so-called bond or performance bond
12:39just to make sure that it will cover the same guarantees of St. Timothy,
12:45which was what we call the NFCC.
12:49All right. Thank you very much for giving us your time here in Balitang Hali, Chairman.
12:57Thank you very much, Ma'am Connie. Long live.
12:59Comilag Chairman George Garcia.
