00:00Tragedy in Cebu City, a 4-year-old boy who was hit by a steel railing in a fishport in Cebu City is being investigated by the local government as to who should be held accountable.
00:28Here's Alan Domingo of GMA Regional TV.
00:34Chris Mike Sandoval's family did not expect that this would be the end of the life of a 4-year-old boy.
00:43Chris Mike was standing in front of a steel railing in Pasil Fishport in Barangay Suba in Cebu City this Monday.
00:51Another boy was seen standing behind the railing for a few seconds.
00:57The boy was hit by a large steel railing and the victim was taken to hospital.
01:02The boy was taken to Cebu City Medical Center and transferred to Vicente Soto Memorial Medical Center because of a severe injury.
01:11He was brought back to life there.
01:14According to the boy's grandfather, they were the ones who took care of the boy because his mother is a housewife.
01:23They just took care of the boy and the boy did not go out of the house.
01:26We did not take the boy out of the house.
01:30We discussed with the local government about what should be done with the boy.
01:35The local government refused to give a statement because only the market administrator can speak.
01:44But the market administrator did not go to GMA Regional TV.
01:50The local government and the police are now investigating.
01:53All angles have been investigated and if there is any result, we are ready to disclose it to the public after the investigation.
02:02The LGU also promised all expenses in the hospital and for the burial.
02:08The negligence of the part of the employees and the disciplinary actions, even suspension of the department.
02:29The boy's family does not plan to file a complaint but they have a call.
02:34I just want to say thank you.
02:40For GMA Integrated News, I am Allan Domingo of GMA Regional TV.
02:46Your Saksi.
02:48Senator Bato de la Rosa believes that there is a high possibility that former President Rodrigo Duterte
02:55will participate in their investigation about the drug war in the Senate.
02:59Saksi.
03:00Ma'am Gonzalez.
03:04Together with Senator Bato de la Rosa and Bong Go,
03:08in the released diagram of Retired Police Colonel Roina Garma
03:11about the reward system in the drug war during the Duterte administration.
03:15When the drug war was carried out, Go served as the aide of former President Rodrigo Duterte
03:20and De la Rosa was the chief of the PNP.
03:23They both refused to let Garma join them.
03:26But after Garma's statements at the hearing of the House Quad Committee,
03:29De la Rosa will join their own investigation about the drug war
03:34in her capacity as chairman of the Senate Committee on Public Order and Dangerous Drugs
03:39together with former President Rodrigo Duterte.
03:43There is a high possibility that he will attend if we invite him.
03:47He seems more comfortable here in the Senate than in the lower house.
03:53Whatever issues were raised there against Senator Bong Go,
03:58against me or whoever else was accused of not wanting to attend there,
04:05he can attend here in the Senate hearing.
04:07But the co-chair of the House Quad Committee who is investigating war on drugs is suspicious here.
04:12The thing is, he became the Director General of the Philippine National Police
04:19during the time of the former President.
04:23You can imagine, he was only a Brigadier General.
04:26All of a sudden, he became a star.
04:29He became a Major General and a Director General.
04:35So I would think that he would be more biased than actually balanced in that hearing.
04:44If I really want to use my committee, I've been hearing for a long time.
04:47However, I am also ashamed because people might say that I'm self-serving.
04:55We are also delicate. We are also ashamed.
04:58But if we really need to mince the checks and balances, then we have to do it.
05:06Go said that he will sign a resolution tomorrow to investigate war on drugs in the Senate.
05:11This is also an investigation in the Senate.
05:14If you want to investigate war on drugs, we can listen to this.
05:19Especially that our chairperson, Senator Batoy, is the chairperson of the Committee on Peace and Order.
05:27He is the chief PNP.
05:29So we can know what is really true and what is the reason for this.
05:35This was put forward by the lawyer of the victims of extrajudicial killings.
05:38The perpetrators cannot investigate themselves.
05:45The Quadcom was also the target to find out if the money given to each victim under the drug war came from the government's funds.
05:54In order to stop the money trail, the committee is now working with the Commission on Audit and the Anti-Money Laundering Council.
06:00According to Solicitor General Menardo Guevara,
06:03there are people who heard about the reward system when he served as a secretary of the Justice Department.
06:09But there is no witness.
06:11Even in the investigation of the Commission on Human Rights back then, the reward system is just for show.
06:16There are only rumors about it.
06:18But there is no actual witness who came forward to say
06:24that there is a system initiated by people up there.
06:31That is why it can be said that there is a scheme.
06:34In the next hearings of the Quadcom,
06:36will there be a witness to detail where the funds came from?
06:40As of now, honestly, there is none.
06:43But we believe that there will be one.
06:50In the Senate hearing of the Quadcom,
06:52Duterte asked for a recommendation on who can implement the reward system for war on drugs throughout the country.
06:59But according to the overall chairman of the Quadcom,
07:01they cannot say that the former president is directly connected to the death.
07:05We are not saying that now because we do not have evidence.
07:10We still do not have a corroborative statement.
07:14For GMA Integrated News, I'm Mav Gonzalez, your Saksi.
07:19A so-called scam hub in Tagaytay was opened
07:23because of a Chinese national who was tortured there.
07:27A foreigner was beaten and tortured there.
07:30Saksi, Emil Sumangit.
07:37A computer, cell phone, and SIM card were stolen from the NBI
07:43when it was robbed in a rest house in Tagaytay last night.
07:45Every corner of the room was full of computers that were being used to cheat,
07:51like a crypto scam.
07:53In one corner, it was found that these cell phones were being charged.
07:57All of these. Transfer of money. Cryptos.
08:04Did you see? Chinese character.
08:07Arrested in a place where 17 Chinese nationals were staying.
08:12The first scam hub was opened
08:13because of a Chinese national who was being tortured there.
08:18A Chinese was in the middle.
08:20This is the victim we saved.
08:24Actually, he wanted to leave the group.
08:30But he did not want to get drunk, so he was beaten.
08:35Who beat you?
08:37Here. Who else?
08:39Here.
08:40Here.
08:42And there.
08:44The Chinese were supposed to leave the group,
08:46but in order not to get drunk, he was beaten and tortured.
08:51There. That's you.
08:53They were beating and torturing you.
08:56The Chinese were brought to the NBI VTEC.
08:59They will be under investigation tomorrow for the robbery of the Cyber Crime Prevention Act.
09:04We tried to arrest them, but they refused.
09:06They also stole the computers and cell phones under the investigation.
09:11For GMA Integrated News, I am Emil Sumangy Langinyo.
09:15Saksi!
09:17The opening of malls in Metro Manila will be done later
09:21to reduce the traffic in EDSA and other main roads.
09:25There are also road projects suspended here as Christmas approaches.
09:29Saksi! This is Joseph Moro.
09:30As the bear months approach,
09:33there are more vehicles traveling in EDSA
09:36according to the MMDA data.
09:38If your average speed is 20 to 21 kilometers per hour,
09:42that's only 19 kph in the northbound
09:45and 18.13 kph in the southbound.
09:48If you will travel here in EDSA,
09:51your speed will be slower by one kilometer per hour.
09:55According to the MMDA effect,
09:57you will feel the Christmas rush earlier
10:00and you will be late.
10:03Normally, we reach almost half a mile
10:06as the Christmas season approaches.
10:09We expect that before Ondas,
10:12it will be heavy.
10:14Then after Ondas,
10:16it will be straight until Christmas time.
10:19Malls agreed from November 18 to December 25
10:23instead of 10 a.m.,
10:24they will open at 11 a.m.
10:27But the malls will still decide
10:30what time they will close.
10:32The Christmas mall wide sale should be held earlier
10:36before November 18.
10:38We are supporting whatever MMDA is requesting from us.
10:43Most likely, the bonuses are released before November 18.
10:49All of our sales prior to December
10:53and recognizing as well that the bonuses
10:57will be released prior to November 18.
11:00We are going to follow the request of our MMDA
11:04regarding this holiday season
11:07to ease the congestion in EDSA.
11:10The MMDA also plans to write to the Department of Transportation
11:14to extend the time of the LRT
11:16and MRT.
11:18According to the MMDA,
11:20all roads in Metro Manila will be suspended
11:23from the night of November 18
11:25until the night of December 25
11:28including road re-blocking,
11:30pipelaying, road upgrading,
11:32and other traffic violations.
11:34But the government's flagship projects
11:36will not be suspended
11:38including the construction of DPWH
11:40and emergency leak repair.
11:42For GMA Integrated News, Joseph Morong,
11:44this is your witness.
11:46First on the Senate hearing,
11:49the historic Intramuros Pasealan in Manila.
11:52Despite being considered as a world-class Pasealan,
11:56garbage is still a problem in some parts of it
11:59and the CRs are closed.
12:01The Intramuros Administration explained
12:04in the testimony of Jamie Santos.
12:10The favorite Pasealan of Filipinos,
12:12a tourist attraction,
12:14and an international celebrity
12:16is the Intramuros in Manila.
12:18The structures are historic and magnificent.
12:21This is the place itself
12:23because it's heritage
12:25and houses were built here in the past.
12:28All of it,
12:30because they preserved the buildings here,
12:33especially the churches.
12:36The famous World City
12:38even fought as the world's leading tourist attraction
12:40in the World Travel Awards 2024.
12:43But the Pasealan here
12:45also has a problem.
12:47There are parts here
12:49that are too dirty
12:51and not attractive to foreigners.
12:54I hope they will put garbage here
12:57because especially now,
12:59we cannot put garbage here.
13:02Senator Loren Legarda
13:04pointed out in the Senate hearing
13:06about the budget of the Department of Tourism
13:08that it's better to have a dirty
13:11or closed comfort room in Intramuros.
13:14Heritage is full of garbage.
13:16It's a shame.
13:18Functionally, it's clean.
13:20You should dedicate yourself.
13:22You have staff who are cleaners.
13:24Or you should get a toilet.
13:26The toilet pad
13:28is for cleaning the bathrooms.
13:30Five barangays should also help
13:33to clean the Intramuros.
13:36According to the Intramuros Administration,
13:38they have more than 30 employees
13:41and more than 10 laborers
13:43who maintain the cleanliness
13:45and tidiness in Intramuros.
13:47The surroundings in Intramuros
13:49are clean and functional
13:51and can be used by tourists.
13:53However, there is a problem.
13:55We are not allowing
13:57the upkeep of this.
13:59The administration
14:01is maintaining
14:03every facility clean.
14:05Not only the toilet,
14:06but also Intramuros.
14:08It's a bit old
14:10and really needs rehabilitation.
14:12They are open to suggestions
14:14and it's good that the Senate helped them
14:16to attract more tourists
14:18from other countries.
14:20For GMA Integrated News,
14:22Jamie Santos is your witness.
