NewsTranscript
00:00In the strong waves, the Fisherman's Wharf and Cottage in Aparic, Cagayan were swept away by the strong waves, wind, rain, and storm surge brought by the super typhoon in the province.
00:28In Batanes, the signal number 4 was high and there was also a 3-meter storm surge in some areas.
00:36The possibility of a landfall or a typhoon is still there, and it is also possible for the signal number 5 to rise.
00:45The success of the GMA Integrated News is unparalleled.
00:49Now, the super typhoon León is coming, and many are preparing to travel to Ondas.
00:56There is no electricity in some parts of Batanes amidst the strong winds of the super typhoon León.
01:03In Cagayan, some were swept away by the storm surge or daluyong.
01:07From Santa Ana, Cagayan, this is Jonathan Andal. Jonathan?
01:15Sandra, we are at signal number 3 here in Santa Ana, Cagayan.
01:19The wind is very strong here in Santa Ana, Cagayan, especially earlier.
01:25The rain is not that strong.
01:27The roads have been cut off.
01:31There is also a power outage.
01:33There is no electricity in Santa Ana.
01:37Some resorts here in Santa Ana were swept away by the storm surge.
01:41This lighthouse in Batanes is being swept away by the strong winds and wind.
01:49In Sabtang Island, the strong winds and rain are also felt.
01:53The storm surge in Basco is also strong.
01:55The wind and rain are also very strong.
01:57Some residents have already tied their houses and motorcycles and sidecars.
02:03The Basco Cathedral Pastoral Center was opened to evacuees before the storm surge is expected.
02:09This is signal number 4 in Batanes because of the super typhoon Leon.
02:13According to the governor of Batanes, the rain is continuous but the enemy's wind is strong.
02:19Only now, hundreds of families have reached their evacuation center.
02:23Their family food packs are also running out because the storm Christine is just passing by.
02:27They are calling for the delivery of C-130 with food.
02:31There is no electricity now.
02:33Earlier this morning, there was no electricity in Mahatau, Iba, Uyugan, Sabtang.
02:42There is no electricity in the five municipalities.
02:45Here in Basco, there was no electricity this afternoon.
02:48In Gonzaga, Cagayan, residents were rescued from the side of the sea.
02:52Their houses were swept away by the storm surge.
02:56Ma'am, why did you evacuate now?
02:58Because the sea water is running out, sir.
03:01Did that happen just now? The sea reached your house?
03:04Yes, sir.
03:05Actually, only one family should be the target to be rescued by the rescuers here.
03:08But they were surprised when they arrived here.
03:10The sea water reached the houses and the residents were asked to be rescued
03:18to be evacuated from here in Batanang storm surge.
03:22There is a big chance that it will rise, sir.
03:24Because the projection is from 2 to 4 meters high.
03:28Well, they should have been evacuated earlier because it is hard to evacuate at night.
03:34Tents were used again in this gym of Gonzaga because many people were rescued.
03:42It is scary that the waves are getting bigger in the sea surrounded by the storm surge.
03:50The fishermen's wharf and its cottage were swept away by the sea in Barangay Padaya.
03:59The storm also hit the town of Bagao early in the morning.
04:05Back to the evacuation center, the residents were rescued by the storm surge.
04:09We couldn't sleep well because of the strong wind, sir.
04:13Maybe we can sleep later because we have a lot of wood, sir.
04:18In Tuguegarao City, the evacuees have been in the evacuation center for more than a week.
04:22We were supposed to go home but when I saw the situation, it was dark and cloudy.
04:28So we decided not to leave because of the strong wind.
04:34Even though the number of evacuees increased, the food and non-food items of the province are enough.
04:39But after the last storm, Christine, and now the Super Typhoon Leon,
04:44the Calamity Fund of Cagayan has run out.
04:46We will be requesting augmentation to the National DRM Council
04:52This will be the first time for the province of Cagayan to request augmentation for the Quick Response Fund.
05:00In the town of Santa Ana, the strong wind is also causing rain.
05:04It is dark and there is almost zero visibility in the area.
05:09More than a thousand people were evacuated from coastal barangays
05:12where tents, beds, food, and relief goods were borrowed.
05:15The strong waves in the sea were experienced in Calayan Island.
05:21Because of the bad weather, landslides occurred again in the Natoni Mountain Province.
05:26Cleaning is still ongoing in Gujo.
05:30In the middle of the preparations, the water of Ambuklao and Bingadam in Benguet and Magatdam in Isabela is still running low.
05:36Unfortunately, it seems like it will come again.
05:39That's why we have to prepare well.
05:46Sandra, the storm surge warning was issued at 8 p.m.
05:51For those who are by the sea, the area of Batanes and Calayan, Cagayan is low.
05:56It is possible that the storm will reach there in the next 48 hours.
06:00And live from Santa Ana, Cagayan, for GMA Integrated News,
06:04Jonathan Andal is your reporter.
06:07In Bicol Region, some barangays are still isolated from landslides.
06:12Residents are passing through Bangin for their needs.
06:17From Naga City, Camarines Sur, Ian Cruz is live. Ian?
06:25Sandra, there are still isolated places here in Camarines Sur.
06:29Some still have high waves, while others are due to the effects of landslides.
06:34Residents in Barangay Kapanpanan in Balatan, Camarines Sur are going up and down from Bangin
06:42just to continue their walk, like getting help.
06:46This is an additional burden, especially for the elderly who are still stuck.
06:50It is important. We need to cross.
06:53But it is very difficult to cross.
06:55It is difficult, sir. It is really difficult.
06:58It is really difficult, but we are really strong.
07:01Because?
07:02Because.
07:03Because?
07:04It is necessary.
07:05That is why it is hoped that the super typhoon will not affect them.
07:09I hope it will not continue, God.
07:12It is difficult, sir. It is expensive to buy.
07:17The road in this part of the barangay was cut off following the landslide.
07:22Because of the heavy rain,
07:25on the side of the destroyed road, the house of Princess was once located.
07:30Aside from my chickens, I ran away from here.
07:33Maybe our children,
07:35because we did not bring anything.
07:39We ran away, my husband and children.
07:43I am asking for help on how we can start.
07:49This is just one of the needs of the residents.
07:53Zip lines are now being used by the residents
07:56for the essential goods such as flour, rice and other products
08:01to be brought to the other side.
08:04We can see that the situation here is really difficult.
08:08If it continues like this, it will be difficult to cross the road.
08:16Soldiers are just choppers.
08:18The relief goods were delivered this Monday.
08:21It is still difficult to enter the town because of the destroyed roads
08:25and the landslides.
08:28DPWH is trying to clear the road
08:32and to make a temporary passage.
08:36During the Christine earthquake,
08:3810 landslides were recorded in the whole area.
08:42Three were reported dead while three were injured.
08:46If the rain is heavy,
08:48we will not be able to cross the road
08:51because the landslides are still dangerous.
08:55If there is just a little rain, the landslides will fall again.
08:58In Libon, Albay,
09:00we can see the area where the landslides were recorded
09:03during the Christine earthquake.
09:05Almost 30 houses in Barangay Borabod
09:08were hit by large rocks from the mountain.
09:12A resident is still looking for them
09:14and was found dead in the landslide.
09:17One of the survivors is Vilma Rosal.
09:20She just went out of the house
09:22to look at the landslides.
09:25But when she came back,
09:27the house and two cars were no longer there
09:30that were hit by the landslides.
09:33My husband was there.
09:35I thanked God and the people
09:42and they were able to get the landslides out.
09:46When they got the landslides out,
09:48they said it was just a few seconds.
09:51The people who lost their homes
09:53were moved to a relocation site.
09:55On some roads leading to coastal barangays,
09:58the landslides are still dangerous.
10:01On some roads,
10:02the land below is already damaged.
10:05Those who are going to Manila
10:07or those who are buying supplies
10:09are being forced to go back to Barangay Pantaw.
10:13But if the motorists can't take it anymore,
10:15they are forced to walk to Putikan.
10:18Floods hit the barangay market again.
10:21What was left of Putik
10:23was cleaned up by the residents.
10:26In Bonbon Elementary School,
10:28a lot of walls were cleaned up
10:30but the streets of Putik are still full
10:33and the computers and books are damaged.
10:36Residents are asking for help
10:39according to the distribution
10:41made by the Philippine Red Cross.
10:43Although some evacuees were able to go home,
10:46they still need food
10:48and most of all,
10:49clean drinking water.
10:51The drinking water
10:53that is rationed from Libon
10:55has no drinkable water
10:57because all the ponds are submerged.
10:59The taste is bad.
11:00It's not allowed.
11:01According to the last report of the Capitol,
11:03there are almost 200,000 families
11:05who are in the evacuation center.
11:08Here in the town of Libon,
11:09three more barangays are isolated
11:11because of the cut roads.
11:17Sandra, there are still a lot of barangays
11:19in the low-lying areas of Kamsur
11:22that are still submerged in the flood.
11:24That's why a lot of people are hoping
11:26that there won't be more heavy rains
11:28of the super typhoon Leyon
11:30so that they can recover from the effects
11:32of the typhoon Christine.
11:35Live from Naga City
11:37for GMA Integrated News,
11:39I'm Ian Cruz,
11:40your witness.
11:43Following the controversial statements
11:45in the Senate
11:46of former President Rodrigo Duterte,
11:48can he really face the case?
11:51We asked about this
11:52to several legal experts.
11:54His former
11:56Chief Presidential Legal Counsel,
11:58Joseph Moro,
11:59defended the case.
12:04I can make the confession now.
12:07If you want.
12:09Mr. Chief,
12:10it's really happening.
12:13I have a jet squad.
12:17If the statements of former President
12:19Rodrigo Duterte are the basis,
12:21there's not enough evidence
12:22to charge him,
12:23according to Attorney Michael Chu
12:25of UP College of Law
12:26and head of the International
12:27Criminal Law Program.
12:28He can be murdered
12:30if you can find actually a victim,
12:32a body,
12:34and you can link that body
12:36to that death squad,
12:38and you can link the death squad
12:40to the former president,
12:42and you can prove that he in fact
12:44had constituted a death squad,
12:48then yes.
12:49But you need to show
12:50a lot of evidence.
12:52But according to the former
12:54Integrated Bar of the Philippines,
12:55President Domingo Bayoza,
12:57the PNP is the suspect here.
12:59Because if the lieutenant
13:02was ordered by the captain,
13:04the captain said,
13:05that order came from the general.
13:07The general said,
13:08it came from the president,
13:09then it reached him.
13:10You have to connect it
13:11to particular killings.
13:13It's not that hard anymore
13:16because the PNP knows
13:19who the killers are, right?
13:21The PNP knows,
13:22in their record,
13:24if it's a legitimate non-fighting
13:27or just a wrap-out.
13:29They can do it if they want.
13:31The former president is also saying
13:34that in the 20-year prescriptive period
13:36of the murder case,
13:37or the plan to put the case in court,
13:39there was no crime committed.
13:41And who are those seven
13:43members of your death squad?
13:44To fight crime.
13:45They all look like they're dead.
13:47It's okay, sir.
13:48What are their names?
13:50You know, I was a mayor
13:53in 1943.
13:56I am now 73.
13:58For the life of me.
14:01I cannot remember the name.
14:03But according to Atty. Chu,
14:05this can be enough
14:06for the complaint of violating
14:07Republic Act 9851
14:09or the local version
14:10of Crimes Against Humanity.
14:12Duterte said that perjury
14:13can be repaid
14:15for the things he said
14:16that he has already committed.
14:18He made an oath.
14:19So, he shouldn't be joking
14:22in the Senate hearing.
14:24If it's a press conference,
14:26it's possible that there will be a lawsuit.
14:28But according to Atty. Salvador Panelo,
14:30former chief presidential legal counsel
14:32of the Duterte administration,
14:33the former president
14:34did not admit anything.
14:36Just look at what he said.
14:37Yes, I have a death squad.
14:40Yes, there is.
14:41There is admission.
14:42No, listen to what he's saying.
14:44The criminals are killing.
14:47So, in that sense,
14:48he has a death squad
14:49because the police are involved.
14:52The ones who killed them,
14:53they are the ones who are killing.
14:55Or if you have a death squad,
14:56that's my death squad.
14:57Yes, seven members.
14:59They are businessmen.
15:01That is not my creation.
15:03That is the result
15:04of them fighting each other.
15:07Panelo also said
15:08that the agencies of the government
15:10should not help
15:11the International Criminal Court.
15:12The former president said
15:14that the government of the Philippines
15:16will not commit perjury
15:17to help in the investigation of the ICC
15:19because the Philippines does not recognize
15:21its jurisdiction.
15:23We have repeatedly said
15:24the ICC has no jurisdiction.
15:26Whether they use it or not,
15:28they have no jurisdiction.
15:30So, the ICC is a nonsense, useless entity.
15:35Former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV said
15:37that the transcripts of the hearings
15:39of the Senate and House
15:41regarding the war on drugs
15:42were transmitted to the ICC.
15:43First of all,
15:44the allegations that they brought to the committee
15:48were either hearsay,
15:51or lies, or propaganda.
15:54They are all lies.
15:56The lead chair of the House Quad Committee,
15:58Congressman Robert Ace Barbers,
16:00said that they will not give
16:02certifications to the alleged transcripts
16:04because they have nothing to do
16:05with the investigation of the ICC.
16:07According to the ICC Office of the Prosecutor,
16:10they are just overseeing the situation
16:12in the Philippines.
16:13Their investigation is being supervised
16:15by wide sources,
16:16including information
16:18from international partners,
16:19civil society,
16:20and open source information
16:22or open information to the public
16:24and does not require a special permission
16:26to use.
16:27For GMA Integrated News,
16:29I'm Joseph Morong.
16:30Your success.
