00:00According to the Philippine Coast Guard, there were more than 5,000 stranded in different parts of the country due to Hurricane Christine.
00:08The town of Tagkawayan in Quezon was also engulfed by the state of calamity.
00:12This is Jun Veneracion.
00:17We need to rescue them because the water level here is very high.
00:22This is my mother.
00:24From night to dawn, the residents of Lopez Quezon have no choice but to return to their homes.
00:31There's another one.
00:32Okay, I'll take care of it.
00:34There's a shark.
00:35Oh no, there's another shark here.
00:38This is the second child that was rescued.
00:42It's time for the enemy.
00:44It's getting darker and there's a flood.
00:46I'm afraid of the water because the water level is high.
00:50That's why I'm nervous.
00:53When day breaks, the rescue operation continues.
00:56There were 400 evacuees in the entire town of Lopez.
01:00Fortunately, we didn't have any reported casualties.
01:05Twelve barangays were affected by the flood.
01:07The water level is low, especially in the lower barangays.
01:11Our water level is up to here.
01:13That's last night.
01:15Yes, last night.
01:16Now, the water level is just up to here.
01:19But the residents are still afraid.
01:22Maybe later, there will be water again.
01:25It's a shame that the bad weather hasn't gone away yet.
01:31The town of Tagkawayan in Quezon was also flooded by the flood.
01:36Floods are everywhere.
01:38More than P100 million pesos were spent on crops and fisheries.
01:43Because of that, the town of Tagkawayan in State of Calamity was submerged by the LGO.
01:48The crops that were supposed to be planted in this field were also wasted
01:52after the flood.
01:55In Lucban, the wind was strong and the flood brought the covered courts in Lucban Elementary School.
02:02A classroom was also damaged when a tree fell.
02:06Many things were damaged and wet.
02:08That's why the teachers are calling for help.
02:11This bush was also partially damaged in San Narciso, Quezon in Tindinang Aragasa ng Tubig.
02:16The driver, conductor, and passengers were saved.
02:21Some passengers were also stranded in Batangas Port.
02:24They were not allowed to swim because of the strong waves.
02:31Passengers were also transferred to the back of the terminal building.
02:35Because it's possible that on Friday or Saturday, the trip will return to normal.
02:40Batangas PDRRMO raised the level of the Batangas Port.
02:44The passengers are now looking for a place to stay.
02:49For GMA Integrated News, I'm Jun Velacion, your witness.
02:55In other news, Pastor Apollo Quibaloy faced a Senate hearing.
02:58Some accused him of sexual abuse.
03:02Victims tied their allegations in front of the pastor.
03:06He's also accused of sexual abuse.
03:10Witness, Mackie Pulido.
03:36I was, in reality, an ordinary mortal.
03:39One who had exploited my genuine commitment and dedication to God.
03:44In the Senate hearing earlier,
03:46one of the original members of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ, Teresita Valdehueza,
03:51was accused of sexual abuse by Pastor Apollo Quibaloy.
03:54It happened in 1993.
03:56From Manila, Quibaloy was sent to Cebu because he had something important to say.
04:01But when the two of them were inside the hotel room,
04:04he was told to sleep next to the pastor.
04:06Valdehueza spread these things while Quibaloy was in the same room.
04:11Without a word, after turning off the light,
04:14he embraced me, undressed me, and violated me with his lustful act,
04:18and left me in shock and speechless.
04:20He then said, this is the fulfillment of God's revelation.
04:25Valdehueza was terribly punished and humiliated
04:29when he said he wanted to leave.
04:31My exaggerated story was then distributed to all his leaders and ministers.
04:38And do you believe I was filthy?
04:41I was pervert and I was wicked.
04:44Painting me as the sole guilty party,
04:47while ACQ remained innocent.
04:51Valdehueza also included his quota system to KOJC workers for fundraising.
04:56500 to 1,000 pesos per day is the quota of some KOJC workers for selling rice.
05:02Valdehueza sometimes quotes 10 to 15 million pesos from caroling.
05:08Many students need to absent from school in November.
05:13And some are not able to return to school
05:16because the church, caroling, and money are prioritized.
05:22Did you forgo the children to sustain the operation of KOJC
05:27and to improve your lifestyle?
05:29We don't have policemen to forgo the children.
05:34But even if there are no policemen, did you forgo them?
05:38No, there is no truth to that.
05:41Earlier, Yulia, a Ukrainian, also appeared
05:44and chose to show her face to the sexual abuse that happened to her.
05:48He had the key of each room.
05:51And just in the middle of the night, he came to my room and had sex with me.
05:58Then, you cannot run away.
06:03According to Davao City Police,
06:05200 women were raped by Kibuloy last year.
06:09Through his preaching with the inner pastorals,
06:12the narrative of the former pastorals,
06:14Kibuloy aimed to acquire 1,000 women
06:17and anchored on the biblical story of Solomon,
06:20King of Israel, who had 700 wives and 300 concubines.
06:24Kibuloy denied the allegations of sexual abuse.
06:28Did you sexually abuse women and minors?
06:33Did you use religion to sexually abuse them?
06:37There is no truth to what they said.
06:40If they have criminal charges against me,
06:45they are free to file a case and I will face it.
06:50The CIDG Regional Field Unit 11 also denied
06:54Kibuloy's private army called the Angels of Death
06:57that threatened members of KOJC.
07:00Apollo Kibuloy handpicked trusted members
07:03with background in military and security training
07:05to compose the Angels of Death,
07:07which later on utilized as a liquidation team
07:10to various KOJC locations nationwide.
07:15Kibuloy insisted that he only did what he could
07:18because he has a private army.
07:20That is a lie and if that is an accusation,
07:27I ask the accuser to file a case against me.
07:34When the media was confronted after hearing,
07:36Kibuloy said that he will answer the allegations in court.
07:39This one is like trial by publicity.
07:42We don't have a resource person.
07:44No one came from us.
07:46Everyone came from the other side.
07:48That's why the KOJC incident was not mentioned.
07:52For GMA Integrated News,
07:54I am Mackie Pulido, your witness.
07:58The MMDA assured that the pumping stations are working
08:01in case of a flood in Metro Manila
08:03due to Hurricane Christine.
08:05In Pililya Rizal, some residents fled
08:07because they were afraid to experience the flood again
08:10during the previous hurricanes.
08:12Witness, Marie Zumal.
08:19The water level here is high.
08:21Here in Barangay Atmos Pono, the tobacco is flowing.
08:24The water level in this part of the Pililya River
08:28in Barangay Hulo in Pililya Rizal is high.
08:30The water level is high
08:32due to the heavy rainfall in the area.
08:35It reached a critical level
08:37where the water level in the river is almost 15 meters.
08:44That's why the residents of the barangay
08:46went to their homes
08:48to ask the residents near the river
08:50to flee early.
08:52It is very difficult to reach the river at night
08:55if the flood is there.
08:57Some residents of Barangay Hulo
08:59fled early because they were afraid
09:01to experience the flood again
09:03just like the previous hurricanes.
09:05I don't want to experience the same thing
09:07that happened during Hurricane Inting.
09:09I was in Bontis at that time.
09:11They rescued us until the water level was low
09:13and I fell off the cliff.
09:15Two of us died.
09:18But some chose to flee to their homes
09:21because the rain stopped
09:23and there was no flood yet.
09:25The authorities continue to guard the river
09:27as the flood is getting closer.
09:29They are preparing vehicles
09:31that can be used
09:33if someone needs to be rescued.
09:35It's been less than 20 minutes
09:37and it's already big.
09:39When we monitored,
09:41it was only 6 meters.
09:43When the rain stopped,
09:45it became 10 meters.
09:47The barangay also assured
09:49that they have enough supplies of food,
09:51blankets and blankets
09:53at the evacuation center for those who fled.
09:55In Barangay Bagong Silangan
09:57in Quezon City,
09:59the Marikina River is strong.
10:01The MMDA hopes that the rain
10:03brought by Hurricane Christine
10:05will not affect Metro Manila.
10:07Today, the MMDA sent a rescue team
10:09that consists of up to 60 people
10:11in Bicol.
10:13We can send them
10:15to other places
10:17because we are preparing
10:19in case the NCR hits.
10:21Half of them will be left here
10:23until we ensure
10:25that the NCR is safe.
10:31If ever the Emergency Operations Center works,
10:33all the local governments
10:35in Metro Manila are already connected
10:37to speed up the coordination of rescue.
10:39The MMDA is ensuring
10:41that their pumping stations are working
10:43to prevent flooding.
10:45Our pumping stations,
10:47if ever, let's hope
10:49that such a strong rain
10:51in Metro Manila
10:53will help to
10:55quickly stop
10:57the flooding.
10:59For GMA Integrated News, I'm Maris Umali.
11:01Succeed!
