00:00We will all be together in Saksi!
00:12Before Saksi, another official of the DepEd faced the camera
00:16and believed that he received thousands of pesos in envelopes that he received in 2023.
00:23You will also see the 16 million pesos spent by the Office of the Vice President
00:29for the Safe House within 11 days in 2022.
00:33Saksi! Ian Cruz!
00:38In the continuation of the House Committee on Good Government,
00:41Atty. Resty Osías, who is now the DepEd's Director 4,
00:46faced Vice President Sara Duterte.
00:50According to Osías, he received 4 envelopes from April to September of 2023.
00:56He is not yet the chairman of the Bids and Awards Committee 6 of DepEd.
01:00He received around 12,000 to 15,000 pesos in envelopes
01:07that he received from Noy Asek Sunshine Fajarda.
01:10I must be candid about this.
01:14I must say I did.
01:17But I didn't know because I was new in the department.
01:20I thought it was a practice of the department.
01:22I didn't know why I was summoned to the office of Asek Shine.
01:30And then I was given an envelope.
01:33And it was later on I found out that there was money in it.
01:37But it was not because I was a BAC member or whatever yet because I was not at that time.
01:41After September, Osías was no longer accepted.
01:45A congressman was quick to judge.
01:47It seems that the Confidential Fund was not used by DepEd for the last quarter
01:54when the issue of the Confidential Fund erupted.
01:57At the first hearing of the camera,
01:59the former Education Undersecretary Gloria Humamil Mercado believed
02:03that she received an envelope worth 50,000 pesos in 2023.
02:10The Vice President's reaction was that Mercado was disgruntled.
02:16Mercado asked for 16 million pesos from a company
02:20using the name of the Vice President without authorization.
02:23Mercado did not agree.
02:25At the hearing earlier,
02:26the former DepEd spokesman attorney Michael Poa also asked
02:30if she received an envelope.
02:32He said that she received something but Poa explained
02:35because it is likely that she received 3,000 to 4,000 pesos if there was a problem.
02:41Do you remember sometime December 2022 or early December?
02:47I did receive an envelope, just minimal amount.
02:51There were instances that I would receive but not from ASEC.
02:55VP gave it to me herself.
02:57JEMA Integrated News is working hard to get the money from VP Sara
03:00and ASEC Fajarda for the aforementioned officials.
03:03At the hearing of the House Committee on Good Government earlier,
03:0616 million pesos were discussed by the Office of the Vice President
03:11for the use of 34 safe houses within 11 days of 2022.
03:17Each safe house was paid from P250,000 to P500,000
03:23and there were two safe houses that were paid P1,000,000 as rent for 11 days.
03:30So for 11 days, P500,000 for one safe house?
03:36Yes, Mr. Chair.
03:37Now if I ask you, how much would that be per day for one safe house?
03:47Mr. Chair, it would amount to P45,000 something.
03:53P45,454.55 per day.
03:57What kind of safe house is this where the rent is P45,000 per day?
04:03Meanwhile, other beautiful places are even cheaper than this, P45,000.
04:13Could you give us an idea of that?
04:17Mr. Chair, we do not have information on the safe houses.
04:21The OVP received the funds from its confidential funds.
04:25The controversial P125,000,000 was spent by Vice President Duterte
04:31within 11 days.
04:34Only acknowledgment receipts were submitted by the OVP
04:37to the Commission on Audit as proof of how the funds were used.
04:42If you look at the acknowledgment receipts,
04:44some of them do not have the name of the person who received the payment.
04:48Some of the names are not readable.
04:50Some of them are not signed.
04:52According to the COA, Attorney Gloria Camora,
04:55they do not have other details about these safe houses.
04:59What is stated in the OVP Accomplishment Report,
05:02the safe houses are for the safe implementation of OVP initiatives and confidence building.
05:10The committee also approved the six officials of the Office of the Vice President
05:14who were not present at the hearing.
05:16They also requested the Bureau of Immigration to include them in the lookout bulletin.
05:20We requested the statement of VP Sara and the Office of the Vice President about this.
05:25In the position paper submitted by the OVP to the House panel,
05:29the officials said that they did not attend the hearing
05:32because it did not follow in aid of legislation.
05:35The data they are asking for can be verified through the reports of the COA.
05:42In the new statement of the OVP,
05:44it stated that there is no need for the hearing of the Committee on Good Government
05:49and that resource persons are not obligated to attend.
05:53The OVP is also careful in discussing pending issues in the Supreme Court because of the sub judice rule.
06:00And because they may have influence in the hearing of the COA audit,
06:05the hearings should also be stopped.
06:08For GMA Integrated News, Ian Cruz is your witness.
06:13He will resign from politics in 2022,
06:16but the former Vice President Lenny Robredo smiled and waved his hand
06:22when he attended an event in Sorsogon.
06:25The witness is Jonathan Andal.
06:31He waved his hand, smiled, and greeted.
06:38This is how the rivals in politics met again,
06:42President Bongbong Marcos and former Vice President Lenny Robredo,
06:46here in Sorsogon City.
06:48It was a rare opportunity for Marcos and Robredo to meet again in public.
06:52It was a close call for the Vice President during the 2016 election.
06:57Robredo defeated Marcos with a score of 263,473 votes.
07:03Marcos appealed it to the Supreme Court, which is the Presidential Electoral Tribunal,
07:08but it was not approved.
07:10The two faced each other in the 2022 Presidential Elections,
07:14where Marcos defeated Robredo with a high score of votes.
07:18Robredo accepted the result.
07:22Senate President Sheiza Escudero was the reason for the meeting between Marcos and Robredo.
07:27Escudero invited Robredo to join the President in his visit to Bicol
07:32for the inauguration of Sorsogon Sports Arena,
07:35which is said to be the largest sports venue in the Bicol region with 12,000 seating capacity.
07:41It's symbolic because we are in the sports arena together, an odd trio, right?
07:48And maybe it's a good combination of the studies of the politicians.
07:55In the career of politics, let's remember being a sportsman,
08:00following the rules and regulations,
08:02and accepting the majority of who will win the medal, or in this case, the election.
08:09Former Senator Bam Aquino was also present at the meeting.
08:13He is the nephew of the former Senator Ninoy Aquino,
08:16who also opposed the politics of Marcos.
08:19Bam became Robredo's campaign manager during the 2022 elections.
08:23Escudero believes that this is the beginning of healing any wounds between Robredo and Marcos.
08:30I think this is the first step towards healing any wounds, any incomprehension.
08:39Because remember, any debate or difference of opinion is political, not personal.
08:46So it's easier to heal it, it's easier to fix it than personal.
08:51In the original plan, Marcos and Robredo will sit side by side on a table.
08:56But after Robredo touched Marcos, he immediately left because he has an appointment in Naga.
09:02You know VP Lenny, he doesn't want to make a scene.
09:05I asked him what he should do.
09:08In fact, he just waited for President Marcos to arrive before he left and went back to Naga.
09:14We tried to convince Robredo, but he refused.
09:17But his spokesperson said,
09:19VP Lenny has been very, very clear on his position.
09:23Any healing, any reconciliation, it should be based on justice and principles.
09:30I think his position on that matter hasn't changed.
09:34The President also didn't mention in his speech that he will meet Robredo.
09:38But he minimized the importance of unity.
09:42From the beginning, unity is my desire for a more peaceful and effective government.
09:49We may have differences in beliefs and opinions,
09:54but I know that we are united in our desire for a better life for every Filipino.
10:05Before Robredo and Marcos meet,
10:08Vice President Sara Duterte also visited Robredo in her house in Naga.
10:13After that, she was visited by allies of President Marcos,
10:17which included DILG Secretary Benor Abalos and Senator Bong Revilla.
10:21Robredo said,
10:23these visits have nothing to do with politics,
10:26because everyone is welcome to visit the birthplace of Pena Francia.
10:31For GMA Integrated News, Jonathan Andal is your reporter.
10:36Next week, it's possible that the rainy season will start,
10:40which is the coldest season.
10:42But according to the forecast, it's possible that the rainy season will be more rainy this year,
10:46because of the flood.
10:48Witness, Jamie Santos.
10:53Every night, Ms. Gemma is in this corner in Anonas, Quezon City,
10:58to sell coffee and balut.
11:00She noticed that the wind is getting colder.
11:03That's why many people are buying from her store.
11:06It's getting cold. I'm shivering. I want to go home.
11:10According to the forecast, it's possible that next week,
11:14the rainy season or North-East Monsoon will start,
11:17which is the coldest season, as Christmas approaches.
11:22It usually starts between the last week of October
11:26or the first week or the second week of November.
11:30The temperature will gradually drop,
11:35especially in the Northern Luzon area,
11:37where they will be affected first by the North-East Monsoon or AMIHAN.
11:42In Metro Manila, AMIHAN will gradually feel
11:46the end of December and the beginning of January.
11:50And because of the expected possible flood in the country,
11:54it's possible that the AMIHAN season will be more rainy this year.
11:58We will have above-normal rainfall conditions,
12:00especially in the eastern section of the country.
12:02And because we have the North-East, the easterlies are strong,
12:06it's prone to formation of shear line.
12:09For GMA Integrated News, Jamie Santos is your witness.
12:15Senate President Chisa Escudero believes
12:17that it's not a good idea for Senator Roland or Ronald Pato de la Rosa
12:21to lead the Senate's investigation into the drug war of the Duterte administration.
12:28Maybe it's better if they are not the leaders of that committee
12:31so that there is no allegation that this is personal and not impartial and not fair.
12:39Escudero brought that to de la Rosa,
12:41and de la Rosa said that it's fine with her.
12:45De la Rosa was the first PST chief appointed by former President Rodrigo Duterte
12:50during the war against drugs.
12:52Senator Risa Ontiveros said that the Committee of the Whole
12:56or all of the Senators should listen to the issue.
12:59This is so that the victims of the drug war will be more alert and more alert to listen.
13:05We are trying to get de la Rosa's opinion on this.
13:11The World Health Organization is responsible for the high number of children
13:14who are overweight in the Western Pacific region of the Philippines.
13:19Witness, Bernadette Reyes.
13:22The overweight of children is one of the most serious health challenges
13:27that affects all countries in the Western Pacific region, including the Philippines.
13:33According to the WHO, in 2022,
13:368.2 million children under 5 years old were overweight in the Western Pacific region,
13:42higher than 7.7 million in 2012.
13:47If you see the reports,
13:49we are monitoring the obesity in children.
13:53Alarming, it is rapidly increasing.
13:57That will result in the NCDs,
14:00when the adolescent was young children.
14:06So this is alarming.
14:08Increase, shifting to NCD, aging,
14:11and increasing use of the tobacco, alcohol, and environmental factors.
14:18Aside from obesity, alcohol and tobacco consumption
14:22are risk factors for non-communicable diseases
14:25such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and cancer.
14:29The WHO is also monitoring the number of children under 5 years old
14:34such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and cancer.
14:38According to the report,
14:39almost 9 out of 10 causes of death in the region.
14:43It has changed from infectious diseases,
14:46which are usually the cause of disease and death.
14:51The processed food, unhealthy food, are much, much cheaper than the healthy food.
14:56And if you go and look for healthy food,
14:58they are the most expensive and it's difficult to get.
15:00I think it's a multifactorial issue.
15:04It needs a whole-of-common, whole-of-society approach.
15:09For GMA Integrated News,
15:11Bernadette Reyes, your news.
15:15Hopefully, for those who were prevented by the authorities
15:17from importing diesel from a ship in Batangas Port,
15:21the 1.8 million liters of diesel loaded by MT Cassandra
15:27will be shipped in four trucks.
15:29It's worth up to P95 million.
15:3210 crew members, including two Indonesians, were arrested.
15:36They were held by the D.F. Customs while waiting for an inquest.
15:40They were asked for a reaction,
15:42and the owner of the confiscated ship and the trucks for the inventory were investigated.
15:49The authorities suspected the syndicate behind the oil smuggling.
15:52They were also targeted in two places
15:54where oil is transferred to the sea before being brought to the coast.
16:00Consolidation for the PUV Modernization Program of the government
16:05was reopened by the LTFRB until November 29.
16:09That was after some senators talked about giving the trucks and operators
16:14that were not consolidated last April.
16:17According to the LTFRB,
16:19those who will apply will be allowed to join the cooperatives,
16:22but they will not be able to form a new cooperative
16:27except for the routes that have not yet been established.
16:31The LTFRB also announced that those who will apply for the new extension
16:35will be able to receive a fuel subsidy.
16:39The Kingdom of Jesus Christ's founder, Pastor Apolo Kibuloy,
16:43requested a hospital arrest.
16:45The court did not grant it.
16:47According to the Pasig RTC Branch 159,
16:50there is a general hospital inside Camp Kramie
16:53in case of an emergency.
16:56According to his lawyer, Attorney Israelito Torreon,
16:59they will appeal the court's decision.
17:02In the middle of his defense against Kibuloy,
17:05Torreon is facing a claim of sedition and inciting to sedition.
17:10The Kingdom of Jesus Christ's Executive Secretary, Eleonor Cardona,
17:16former NTF-ELCAC spokesperson Lorraine Badoy, and others,
17:21including some vloggers,
17:23according to PNP-CIDG Director Atnooy,
17:27PRO-11 Chief, Police Brigadier General Nicolás Torre III,
17:31because of the obstruction of the claims
17:35when they tried to issue an arrest warrant to Kibuloy and other accusers.
17:40Torreon is ready for complaints.
17:43The issue is just being swept away by complaints.
17:46The GMA Integrated News is trying to get the attention of other accusers.
17:54Suspended Porac, Pampanga Mayor Jaime Capil
17:57is ready to face the draft complaint filed against him.
18:01This is related to the issue of the permit issued by Porac-LGU
18:05to Lucky South 88 Pogo in Porac, Pampanga.
18:09Capil is adamant that they only know the complaint in the media
18:13and there is no copy of the case.
18:15The filing of the complaint does not imply a crime.
18:19For GMA Integrated News, Mark Salazar, your witness.
18:32Let's take a break from drama and mystery
18:34because the Widows War Family has a birthday surprise for Bea Alonso.
18:39Aside from a delicious meal on set,
18:42Bea also sang to Jerry Gonzales, who played the guitar.
18:48And Gene Garcia ate lechon.
18:53Bea thanked him and said,
18:56I love you.
18:58And Bea also had an early birthday celebration
19:01with some persons with disabilities.
19:04Bea is happy that she was able to spread happiness
19:07to a community that is close to her heart.
19:13Dear viewers, isn't it hard to bond with those who don't want to be noticed?
19:17Well, it's just like a cat that almost flew away just to be avoided.
19:22And here, it can even speak.
19:25Our witness.
19:29It's time to tease.
19:30But Ming Ming doesn't seem to want to be disturbed.
19:33The case is that he was cornered.
19:36So to avoid it, there.
19:40So to avoid it, there.
19:42He turned around and almost got embarrassed.
19:45When Ming Ming lay down,
19:47the cat's response was,
19:49Do not disturb.
19:51And when he didn't stop,
19:53Wow.
19:54It can even speak.
19:56Let's fight later.
19:57I'm like a cat.
19:59When I touch it,
20:01it's like it's afraid to fight.
20:05And when I pet it,
20:07I always do that.
20:09Now, I don't expect it to react like that.
20:13I laugh because it has a lot of style.
20:17What if he's the one who's not noticed?
20:26For example, he's being searched.
20:27But he's just there.
20:29It's a prank, Ming Ming.
20:32According to his fur parents,
20:34Ming Ming is always being snubbed.
20:36Sometimes, he's a game commander.
20:39He's looking for the one who's hiding.
20:45There.
20:46He was completely surprised.
20:47There was a time when he was so gentle.
20:49He really smiled when we talked.
20:53I was waiting for him at that time.
20:56I was thinking about him.
20:58I was noticing the two of them.
21:01Moody man.
21:02He's being noticed.
21:03It's hard to recognize Ming Ming
21:06who has lean and benchy.
21:08I travel in the morning.
21:10When I get home,
21:13I get up and lie down.
21:16I just sleep.
21:17I always sleep with him.
21:19We play with him every minute.
21:22He's like a baby.
21:24He's like our baby.
21:26For GMA Integrated News,
21:29J.P. Soriano is your witness.
21:40Hope is back on the streets.
21:42J-Hope of BTS was discharged from his military service.
21:46In just one and a half year of enlistment,
21:49J-Hope achieved a wide range of efforts
21:52and dedication of the soldiers for their country.
21:56He also thanked the fans for their support.
22:00The fans were happy
22:02to see Jin, a BTS member,
22:05holding microphones
22:08while J-Hope was speaking.
22:12They said,
22:13welcome back,
22:15J-Hope Project,
22:18the fans of ARMY.
22:20When J-Hope got home,
22:21he immediately did a live stream
22:23to share his experiences.
22:28My fellow countrymen,
22:29it's already the 68th day of Christmas.
22:34I'm Pia Arcangel

22:38and a wider service to the country.
