00:00Live from the GMA Network Center, 20 years have passed, 24 hours.
00:30The visit of more than a million people has now come to an end.
00:46Good evening, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
00:49It has been a whole afternoon of riots in different cemeteries throughout the country
00:54for the continuation of the protests from now until tomorrow.
00:58While the mood is festive in some, there is a rain of complaints
01:02because of the raped chickens and there is also a flood in the sea.
01:06While here in Manila North Cemetery, it is more tense
01:09because of the ongoing bombing of drunken chickens.
01:13Here is my report.
01:19Because there was a bombing in Manila North Cemetery
01:22by a member of LGBT outside the time of Dalaw,
01:25the Manila Police District added strength inside the cemetery.
01:30There was a fight because of the drunkenness, but now they are investigating.
01:35But this did not happen at the time of Dalaw.
01:38This happened early in the morning.
01:40Security is more important, especially since the carriage cannot fall.
01:43There were a lot of people at the entrance of the cemetery earlier,
01:48far from the attack of Dalaw yesterday.
01:51My fellow countrymen, the authorities have made a decision.
01:55By 11 o'clock in the afternoon, people are already feeling the rain.
02:01And according to their estimate yesterday,
02:03the number of our fellow countrymen will reach more than 900,000
02:09here in Manila North Cemetery compared to a year ago
02:13because of the increased visiting hours.
02:17Five o'clock in the morning until seven o'clock this evening.
02:21Hold your mothers.
02:24Children, hold your mothers.
02:29Your parents may suddenly disappear.
02:33Look for them outside.
02:35Aside from the megaphone that is almost out of range,
02:39the rescue stations are also barely breathing
02:42due to the large number of people responding.
02:45Most of them are pregnant.
02:47I felt dizzy.
02:49Why? Because of the heat or because of the large number of people?
02:52Both.
02:53Because of the heat and because of the large number of people.
02:55You don't have a companion?
02:56No.
02:57The mood here is festive.
02:59Outside, there are mascots, drums, and other instruments.
03:03The stalls are for sale only.
03:06While inside, there are mussels eating.
03:10Like a feast, you can eat from them.
03:13It's like I'm going inside to give.
03:16Even if there are three people with me,
03:18they will come in and eat even if they don't know each other.
03:24President Bongbong Marcos was shocked
03:26by the visit of former President Ferdinand Marcos.
03:30Vice President Sara Duterte made a statement
03:34about Marcos Sr.'s visit.
03:36He will ask for a visa
03:39if the Marcos will not stop in the middle of their ears.
03:42Ivan Mayrena was there.
03:48In his visit to the continent of former President Ferdinand Marcos Sr.
03:52in the House of Members,
03:53President Bongbong Marcos thanked the supporters
03:56whom he also introduced, his father.
03:58If we have a death, it's written there, RIP.
04:01Rest in Peace.
04:03Of course, that's also what we wish for my father.
04:07But his father's presence there
04:09shocked Vice President Sara Duterte.
04:13I told Senator Aimee once,
04:16if you don't stop,
04:18I will eat your father.
04:22I will throw him in the West Philippine Sea.
04:25That's why I asked Ondas about the President.
04:28I'd like to ask for your thoughts
04:31on how to speak to the Vice President
04:33about the release of your brother.
04:35He is my brother now.
04:37In November 2016,
04:39the martyrs were buried in the House of Members.
04:42It took almost three decades before that happened.
04:45A few months after former President Rodrigo Duterte took office,
04:49despite the petitions to ban it from the Supreme Court.
04:53This is also one of the basis of Marcos Duterte's alliance
04:56But in the harsh words of Vice President Sara Duterte,
04:59has the alliance been completely broken?
05:02The President's answer.
05:03Let's talk about it some other time.
05:05Along with President Duterte,
05:07Marcos Sr. was accompanied by his mother
05:09and former First Lady Imelda Marcos.
05:11For GMA Integrated News,
05:13Ivan Meirene, for 24 Hours.
05:17In the prayer and lighting of the candle,
05:20some of the marines of Sur
05:23remember those who have passed away.
05:26It's hard to visit the marines of Sur
05:30who were drowned in the flood.
05:33Ian Cruz has the story.
05:38In this cemetery in Minalaba, Camarines Sur,
05:41we met this man
05:43who was involved in cleaning the marines of Sur.
05:46In the flood in the cemetery,
05:48he was cleaning the water.
05:50When the man went down,
05:52we only found out that the water was up to his knees.
05:56This portion of the Minalabak Cemetery,
05:59as you can see,
06:00there are almost no people here
06:02because the flood is still very high.
06:04The residents said,
06:05and we can also see the holes here,
06:07the flood water is really high.
06:10It went here,
06:12but for more than a week,
06:14the flood water is still up to his knees.
06:17That's why Mang Dominador
06:19was forced to visit the marines of Sur.
06:22I really can't do it.
06:23There's still water up to my knees.
06:27Some people just left the lit candles,
06:30while others,
06:31in the other side of the cemetery,
06:33next to the church,
06:34lit the candles for the marines of Sur.
06:38So that we can remember our grandfathers
06:41and grandmothers,
06:43so that we can remember them.
06:45Ms. Emma is from Cavite
06:48and is happy to be back in Minalabak.
06:50She put a sandbag around their family's mausoleum
06:54so that they won't get wet by the flood,
06:56especially the siblings.
06:58My siblings got injured
07:00because the flood was up for more than a week.
07:02They needed to be put there.
07:04In the town of Milaor,
07:06there is no more flood water,
07:08so there's no need for many people to come and go.
07:11Meanwhile, others took the opportunity to clean up.
07:15But Ms. Beatriz,
07:17just by looking at the direction of the parents,
07:20the important thing is that she came to the cemetery
07:23to remember the loved ones in her life.
07:26That's a good thing.
07:28I might get old.
07:30I might get sick.
07:31I might end up in the hospital.
07:32For GMA Integrated News,
07:34Ian Cruz reporting for 24 Hours.
07:38It's possible that within a week,
07:40a fuel tanker was saved in Batangas Port.
07:44In the meantime,
07:45the number of passengers in the port is increasing,
07:47especially the number of passengers compared to 2023.
07:51J.P. Soriano was there live.
07:54J.P.
07:58Emil, the operation of Batangas Port was not in vain.
08:01The Philippine Coast Guard here in Batangas
08:04is rushing to process the requirements
08:06to start the salvage operation on the side
08:09of the vessel after it was cut off by Hurricane Christine
08:13to make sure that there will be no oil spill.
08:21This fuel tanker was left here in Batangas Port for a week.
08:28As the strong winds of Hurricane Christine
08:31pushed the tanker to the side,
08:33according to the Philippine Coast Guard,
08:35the oil spill was stopped
08:38and an oil spill boom was immediately placed around it.
08:41When it went to GMA Integrated News earlier,
08:44the hole was still wide from the tanker that hit it
08:47from the repeated hits to the wall.
08:50The port manager of Batangas Port said earlier
08:53that they have submitted to the Philippine Coast Guard
08:56the underwater survey on this side of the tanker.
08:58According to the Coast Guard here in Batangas,
09:01in a week, salvage operations are possible
09:05where they will extract the oil from the side of the tanker.
09:10We will wait for their plan, sir.
09:12If they extract the contents inside, the fuel,
09:17then after that, we will attack it, sir.
09:21Then we will patch it.
09:22It depends on the approach of the salvage team
09:25and their plan.
09:27Then after that, we will evaluate it, sir,
09:29to make sure that the operation is safe.
09:32This tanker used to be used by the authorities
09:36that were involved in the spill on October 16.
09:39The port manager of Batangas said earlier
09:42that the operation of the passenger terminal
09:45this Undas Long Weekend
09:47was not affected by the hit of the side of the tanker
09:50in several years of salvage.
09:52According to the staff of Roro and FastCraft here in the port,
09:56the number of passengers in Undas is different
10:00compared to Undas 2023.
10:03It is possible that the impact of the typhoon
10:06is due to the decision of the passengers
10:08not to continue their journey.
10:10Yes, sir. We will continue our journey.
10:12Even though the journeys of Roro
10:14to several towns of Mindoro, Romblon,
10:17and different parts of Visayas are not full,
10:19there are those who are still chasing
10:21in Puerto Galera,
10:22which is one of the most famous beach resorts in the Philippines.
10:26That includes the Dutch national, Michael,
10:29who was named a winner when he went to Puerto Galera.
10:33Now, he has three children
10:36in one of his favorite beaches in the Philippines.
10:40Because of the nice atmosphere and the beaches there,
10:45the resorts and hotels are a bit more easy to go to.
10:52Michael is one of the Dutch tourists
10:55among the 3,000 passengers who came here
10:58to Batangas Port this morning.
11:00According to the management of Batangas Port,
11:02it is possible to add more to the next hours.
11:06That is the latest from Batangas Port.
11:08Back to you, Emil.
11:12Thank you very much, J.P. Soriano.
11:22The barangay public cemetery in Marikina
11:24was filled with complainants
11:26because of the unauthorized excavation of the ruins there.
11:30Some of them said that the ruins were just near.
11:35Jun Venerasio was there live.
11:39Jun.
11:43Vicky, in the initial accounting of the city hall of Marikina,
11:46the number of illegal excavations in Marikina reached 65.
11:52And it was just placed in one part of the barangay public cemetery.
11:56It is expected that the number will increase.
11:59Today, Vicky counted the number of complainants
12:04who left their graves.
12:12The Alliance of Flowers and Candles of Ms. Carmen,
12:15the wife of the barangay public cemetery in Marikina,
12:18was one of the complainants.
12:19But another person was buried in the cemetery
12:21when she went there on the day of the excavation.
12:24Her husband's grave was just left in the field.
12:28You know, I always bring you here.
12:31I bring you flowers because you said that whenever I bring you here,
12:35you will bring me flowers.
12:37We are the only two children here.
12:40Whenever we go here, you will be gone.
12:47That is also what Beng said when her parents brought her here.
12:51I hope I can see your bones so that I can transfer you to another cemetery
12:56so that we can still carry you.
12:59Earlier, there were a lot of complainants in the office of the barangay public cemetery
13:04because their loved ones' bones were not found.
13:09They are the descendants of the people who were removed from the cemeteries
13:12because of their obedience to the ordinance of the city
13:15which states that the people buried there can only remain for up to five years.
13:20But the city hall said that there is a moratorium
13:23or they are stopping the execution here.
13:26The exhumation is also illegal because there is no permit from the city hall.
13:30According to the initial accounting of the local government,
13:33the number of burglars reached 63
13:36who were not sentenced and were just buried in the cemetery.
13:40Complaints of administrative violations and violation of Presidential Decree 856
13:45or Code of Sanitation of the Philippines were filed
13:49by the local government in the cemetery and five others
13:52because of the illegal exhumation of burglars.
13:54We are still trying to get their money.
13:57It's like a syndicate.
13:59It's like a syndicate.
14:00They open a niche and they offer the niche for a fee.
14:06There is a payment.
14:07But they are the only ones who can understand the payment.
14:11There was also a confrontation when a group of people saw
14:14that they were paid to transfer their loved ones to another niche,
14:18but they were also removed.
14:29It's a challenge to get to know the burglars,
14:31especially the ones who were just buried,
14:33even if they didn't have the details of who they were.
14:36If the right process is followed,
14:38the burglars should be placed in a sealed box
14:42after being removed from the niche and immediately placed for transfer.
14:46It should be easy to identify
14:49to reduce the burden or the pain,
14:54the agony of all those who are looking for their loved ones.
15:05Vicky, tomorrow the city government of Marikina will hold a mass here in the cemetery
15:10for the illegal burglars.
15:14If their families agree,
15:16the city government will allow free cremation for the burglars.
15:21Vicky?
15:22Jun,
15:23do we have information on how many families are looking for their loved ones?
15:33For now, Vicky,
15:34it's hard to say how many
15:36because the number is increasing.
15:38In the initial accounting,
15:40the human remains were collected and accounted by the city government.
15:46But this is our latest update from the office of the acting administrator
15:51of this cemetery.
15:52There are 40 relatives who are being interviewed.
15:55Vicky, this interview needs to be conducted
15:59so that the information about the families looking for their loved ones can be spread.
16:06When they arrived here,
16:07the bones were already near.
16:10They can't see them anymore, Vicky.
16:12So, Jun,
16:13what will Marikina LGU do
16:15so that the identification of the burglars will be correct?
16:22This process of interviewing the families,
16:26Vicky,
16:27is part of the process of identifying the burglars.
16:31But aside from that,
16:32what they are looking for is the worst-case scenario
16:34because there are bodies here
16:36that have no label
16:37and they will really have a hard time.
16:38Although there are others
16:39that are easy to identify.
16:41But there are bodies that have no label
16:44to identify who the bodies are.
16:48Those are the challenges that they are facing, Vicky.
16:52And another option that they are studying now
16:56is the examination of the dental records of the burglars.
16:59But they still need to know about that.
17:02That is just a recommendation for now.
17:03They still need to know about that
17:05from the city government of Marikina.
17:07Vicky.
17:08Okay.
17:09Thank you very much, Jun Veneracion.
17:12At the same time,
17:13as the weather gets better,
17:14tourists are expected to visit Baguio City for a long weekend.
17:19The security of the streets and cemeteries is tight.
17:22We will be updated in the City of Pines
17:25with the live coverage of Jasmine Gabriel Galvan
17:28of GMA Regional TV.
17:29Jasmine.
17:31Emil,
17:32many tourists have chosen to visit Baguio City
17:35to enjoy the long weekend.
17:42The PNP went early to inspect the flowers
17:45sold in Malcolm Square in Baguio City.
17:48Only a few people are buying now.
17:51The businessmen are trying to avoid the high prices
17:54even if the prices of the flowers are going down.
17:57Others, we are returning the prices
18:01that we bought from the farmers.
18:04It's a waste if it's this good.
18:06Just throw it away after the harvest.
18:09In the cemeteries,
18:10some people arrived early.
18:12Pierre and his children
18:14went to the Baguio City Public Cemetery.
18:17It's only 7 in the morning.
18:18They traveled to avoid the traffic
18:21and to avoid the crowds.
18:23The rain is also hard in the afternoon.
18:25At the same time,
18:26as the weather gets better,
18:27more people are visiting the Public Cemetery.
18:30According to the Baguio City Police Office,
18:32it is expected that more than 50,000 people
18:37will visit the largest cemetery in the City of Pines.
18:40To make it easier for people to enter,
18:42the entrance of the women to the men is blocked.
18:45A traffic scheme will also be implemented.
18:47Here in Naguilian Road,
18:49same as last year,
18:50we only placed a control point.
18:53Aside from Baguio City,
18:54the authorities also strictly monitor
18:56the 200 cemeteries
18:58in the Cordillera Administrative Region.
19:00They are also monitoring the roads.
19:03Compared to the past few days,
19:05according to the BCPO,
19:06there are more tourists now.
19:08It's possible that it will increase
19:09because of the long weekend.
19:11The weather in Baguio
19:12is really visiting.
19:13It's not far.
19:14So we expect the usual
19:16number of visitors here
19:19by the thousand.
19:20These are friends from Negros
19:22who are with Baguio City
19:23for a long weekend
19:24to relax.
19:26It's good.
19:27Thankfully, the weather is good
19:30and there's no more rain.
19:31Just now,
19:32the authorities issued a warning
19:33to the possible traffic build-up
19:35of vehicles this long weekend.
19:41Emil, according to the BNP,
19:42it is expected that more tourists
19:44will visit Baguio City this weekend.
19:47Meanwhile, for those who will only visit
19:50the City of Pines,
19:51it is possible for all motorists
19:52to use Marcos Highway and Naguilian Road.
19:55Emil?
20:00Thank you very much,
