00:07The number of candidates for the Senate since 2019 is higher

00:12based on the data of the Comelec.

00:14153 were cast for the 2019 election

00:18and 176 for the 2022 election.

00:21For the 2025 election,

00:23184 are the total number of senatorial aspirants.

00:2857 of them filed for the COC

00:31at the current deadline,

00:32including Pastor Apolo Quibuloy.

00:35Sandra Aguinaldo is a witness.

00:37♪

00:40Pastor Apolo Quibuloy will run for senator

00:43even if he's in prison

00:44for child abuse and human trafficking cases.

00:47Under the Certificate of Candidacy

00:49issued by his lawyer,

00:51the Workers and Peasants Party, or WPP, is already a party.

00:55How will he campaign?

00:56For Senator?

00:57We will campaign for him.

00:59The people of the Philippines will campaign for him.

01:01Like other aspirants,

01:03he accepted the COC,

01:05but there's no guarantee that his name will be included in the ballot.

01:08Considering that the COC is already here,

01:10I will beg that we don't answer it first

01:12because if the question is raised to the Comelec,

01:16the Comelec has to decide about it.

01:18But on WPP,

01:19they will accept the run of Quibuloy

01:22under their party.

01:24According to the group's president,

01:26Atty. Sani Matula,

01:27none of the three authorized signatures

01:30in their group

01:31were approved by the CONA,

01:33or Certificate of Nomination and Acceptance of Quibuloy.

01:36The CONA is one of the requirements

01:38that the Comelec is granted

01:41along with the Certificate of Candidacy.

01:43According to Quibuloy's camp,

01:45the WPP approved the COC's approval

01:48under the party.

01:52According to the Comelec,

01:53there's a time for the commission to resolve this issue.

01:57The candidacy also allowed

01:59for Kiko Pangilinan to return to the Senate

02:02who was accompanied by his wife Sharon Coneta.

02:05He will run under the Liberal Party.

02:08Atty. Vic Rodriguez will also run as a senator.

02:11He was the campaign spokesperson

02:13and executive secretary

02:15of President Bongbong Marcos.

02:17But there was a riot in Gabinete in 2022

02:19just a few months after his appointment.

02:22In the midst of the controversy

02:23regarding sugar importation,

02:26COC and TV host Willie Revillame

04:35In total,

04:36190 party lists

04:38were eaten by the candidature

04:40for the election 2025.

04:42This number is

04:43bigger than the party lists

04:46that were eaten by the candidature

04:47for the election of 2019.

04:49But it's lower than the 270 party lists

04:53that were eaten by the last election

04:55of 2022.

04:56For GMA Integrated News,

04:58Sandra Aguinaldo is your witness.

05:02Six people were eaten by

05:03the Certificate of Candidacy

05:22On the last day of the filing

05:23of the Certificate of Candidacy,

05:25former Mayor Isko Morena

05:27ran to the scene.

05:28He was able to confront

05:30incumbent and former Vice Mayor

05:33Honey Lacuna.

05:34I respectfully ask

05:38Ate Honey,

05:40can I go back

05:42to being a Mayor?

05:45And swiftly, she answered,

05:50no, I'm running for re-election.

05:53And, you know,

05:54I don't want that.

05:56She's sitting there.

05:57She's the one sitting there.

05:59She has the right to do that.

06:02So what I did is,

06:03kiss her,

06:05said goodbye,

06:07and hug Doc Pox.

06:10Because you know,

06:13I really love those people.

06:14Honestly.

06:16I love them because of Danny Lacuna.

06:20As a view of the debt.

06:22The last time we spoke to each other

06:24was I think July 12.

06:26That's when he said it?

06:27Yes.

06:28How did he say it?

06:30He said he will run.

06:34I didn't say anything.

06:36I just listened to him.

06:37That's face-to-face.

06:39He will run as Mayor of Manila,

06:41Tutok Tuwil Partylist Representative Sam Verzosa.

06:45Manilans have the right to choose

06:48who they want to run for.

08:10For GMA Integrated News,

08:13I'm your host, Oscar Oida.

08:16Saksi!

08:17The forgotten

08:18and threatened

08:19by the Japanese in the Philippines

08:20during World War II

08:21will not be forgotten,

08:22especially those who experienced

08:24being a hostage.

08:25One of them,

08:26I will tell you about

08:27the people who helped him

08:28to be saved.

08:30Saksi!

08:31I'm JP Sorian.

08:34Here in Kalamazoo, Michigan,

08:36in America,

08:37I met a young man

08:39who was saved

08:40when the Japanese

08:41attacked the Philippines.

08:48Dean Hawk is now 85 years old,

08:51founder and owner

08:53of the Michigan News Agency.

08:55Yes, this has been marvelous.

08:58My mother, my sister, and I

09:01were living in Baguio

09:04until the Japanese

09:06first Pearl Harbor,

09:09and then the next day

09:10they took Clark Field,

09:11they took all the planes out

09:12from the Southeast Asian Air Force

09:15at Clark Field.

09:17And by the next month,

09:20the Philippines were invaded,

09:21of course.

09:22That is Bataan and Corregidor.

09:25They were brought to

09:26the University of Santo Tomas

09:27in Manila,

09:30which served as the biggest camp

09:32or internment camp

09:33for the Americans

09:35and the Filipino

09:37side of the Japanese.

09:39But they were soon

09:40taken back by their father

09:41who became the

09:42Guerrilla Warfare Commission.

09:44At a young age,

09:45Dean learned how to

09:47establish himself

09:48inside the camp

09:49within three years.

09:52This is where he met

09:53another Filipino young man

09:55who was with him

09:56in his studies

09:57with the help of his mother.

09:59When the US General Douglas

10:01MacArthur's forces returned

10:02to the Philippines,

10:03Dean found hope

10:05that he could be saved

10:06from the Japanese.

10:08But he was helped

10:09by the Japanese forces

10:11and they were lined up

10:12to be shot.

10:14But before the Japanese

10:15forces could begin

10:17their plan to wipe out

10:18those in the camp,

10:20the American soldiers

10:22and the Filipino guerrillas

10:23arrived.

10:28The reason that I am alive

10:30is because the Filipinos

10:32helped the Americans

10:33liberate us

10:35and they got to us

10:36an hour before

10:37we were actually going

10:38to be shot down

10:39by the Japanese.

10:40We were lined up for that.

10:41And the tanks,

10:42the American tanks

10:43got there earlier

10:44than thought

10:46because the Filipinos

10:48helped them.

10:49And that is how I am still,

10:51why I am still alive.

10:54And from escaping

10:55to the Philippines

10:56and coming here to America,

10:58Dean did not return

10:59to the Philippines

11:00because it was

11:01very painful for him.

11:02But according to Dean,

11:03the love of the Filipinos

11:04will continue to live

11:05in his heart.

11:07From Kalamazoo,

11:08Michigan, America,

11:10and for GMA Integrated News,
