00:00Live from the GMA Network Center,
00:0420 years of news in 24 Hours.
00:11Good evening, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
00:15Personal killings of several people and planting of evidence.
00:21Some of the names of former President Rodrigo Duterte
00:25when he faced the camera in his drug war.
00:28He also did not deny that the police have a grudge against him
00:32and left a trail in the International Criminal Court.
00:35He told the ICC to speed up the investigation against him
00:40and to come here tomorrow.
00:43Jonathan Andar is live.
00:46Jonathan.
00:48Mel, Emil, Vicky,
00:50the former President Rodrigo Duterte has been in jail for almost 8 hours
00:54for the recording of the Quad Committee of the Camera.
00:57When asked by congressmen,
00:59there are points where they are raising their voices.
01:04Hearing none, the motion is approved.
01:07The hearing of the House Quad Committee should be canceled today
01:11that is listening to the Duterte drug war and extrajudicial killings.
01:14But it was suddenly continued after the former President Rodrigo Duterte said
01:19that he will come.
01:20This is his first face in the investigation of the Quad Committee.
01:22At the beginning of the hearing,
01:24the families of the victims who faced Duterte were emotional.
01:28The pictures of the victims are vivid.
01:30It is really hard for us.
01:35Until now, there is no justice
01:40because there is no proper investigation for the Filipinos.
01:47But Duterte defended the killings during his war against drugs.
01:52And when he said that there is no jurisdiction
01:56of the International Criminal Court or ICC in his case,
01:59now, Duterte said, he is ready to face the ICC investigation.
02:03I'm asking the ICC to hurry up.
02:09And if possible, they can come here and start the investigation tomorrow.
02:16This issue has been left hanging for so many years.
02:20It's been a long time, ma'am. I might die and they won't be able to investigate me.
02:25So I'm asking the ICC, through you,
02:29to come here tomorrow and start the investigation.
02:35And if I am found guilty, I will go to prison and rot there for all time.
02:40Give me money and I will go to the ICC.
02:43I will be the one to investigate there.
02:46They are taking too long. Hurry up.
02:49Because I might die when I grow old.
02:54In the interrogation of the defendants, Duterte admitted that he has already killed a person.
03:00Did you kill yourself?
03:04Me? A lot.
03:07Six or seven.
03:09I didn't go to the hospital.
03:14A lot of police killed me in Davao.
03:19I am the one who committed the crime.
03:23He also admitted that he ordered the killing of drug manufacturers and distributors,
03:27but not the drug addicts.
03:30I didn't say it was the drug addicts. I said it was the drug dealers and drug users.
03:36Why would he kill the addicts? Bring them to the hospital.
03:39I will admit that I ordered the drug manufacturers
03:46and the big-time drug distributors to be killed.
03:55He also admitted that he planted evidence, just like what he said in this video.
04:00We planted evidence.
04:02That's true.
04:03So you really planted evidence?
04:04That was part of the strategy as a mayor.
04:08He also admitted that the police in the drug war have received money,
04:11but not the 20,000 to 1,000,000 pesos per person who will be killed,
04:16which was distributed by the former trustee of the police, Ruyina Garma.
04:21This is the person who died, and he was paid 20,000 to 1,000,000 pesos?
04:24No, sir.
04:26If there is a police operation,
04:28the police knows about it.
04:32I am funding it.
04:35For a particular project.
04:38If they accomplish it,
04:41the police officer or the lead officer will say,
04:48sir, there is a lot that is not possible.
04:51That's not it.
04:52For the boys.
04:54That's it, sir.
04:55Okay, sir.
04:56Reward. Correct.
04:58Very correct.
05:00It's really true.
05:03And sometimes, I will give more.
05:07Duterte does not want to answer Representative Raul Manuel's question
05:11about the confidential funds of the office of the president.
05:15That's why intelligence and confidential were called, sir.
05:21So don't ask me what confidential I did.
05:25Confidential?
05:29I am protecting the interest of the Republic when I dispense confidential funds.
05:35Do not make me account for something which I cannot do legally.
05:43But at one point, Duterte said that the money he used was from the campaign funds in Pabuya.
05:49I still remember that you have mentioned that the money that came from the donation of your campaign funds
05:59will be utilized for the reward system.
06:02You mentioned that and I saw the video.
06:04And that's private money, Mr. President?
06:06Yes. It came from me.
06:08It's not private money.
06:10I was already caught.
06:14I was already holding the money when I was in the official office.
06:22Duterte denied what Garman said that he was called by the former president
06:26after he testified against Duterte in the Quad Committee.
06:30He also said that he had no knowledge of the murder of retired General Wesley Barayuga of the PCSO,
06:34Arturo Lascañas, a self-confessed hitman,
06:38and the former DDS leader.
06:40Duterte called him and said that he was just making up a story.
06:42In the hearing, Duterte and former Senator Leyla de Lima sat next to each other.
06:48She was imprisoned after Duterte denied her illegal drug trade in the Philippines.
06:52Allegations were also filed by the court.
06:54Do you believe that Secretary de Lima is the mother of all drug lords?
06:59Who said it, sir?
07:01Director Ruel Lazala and Reynaldo Esmeralda, former NBI officer-in-charge of the Department of Justice.
07:08I would like to congratulate them for making this statement.
07:12Absolutely false.
07:14I have no knowledge of illegal drugs.
07:18It's just part of their propaganda.
07:22But when Duterte was asked if he was a drug lord, he raised his voice.
07:27He said that he is the lord of all drug lords.
07:30I will not become president if I am like that.
07:39Vicky, just a while ago at 4.30, Vice President Sara Duterte arrived here.
07:45She did not ask for an interview.
07:47She went straight to the seat behind her father.
07:51Before the hearing began, a mass was held here in Batasan by the relatives of the EJK victims.
07:57Outside Batasan, 200 supporters of the former president gathered.
08:03First, the latest from the camera.
08:05Back to you, Vicky.
08:07Thank you very much, Jonathan Andal.
08:11The government will not ban or prohibit the former President Rodrigo Duterte to commit suicide
08:20in the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court.
08:23That's what Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin said.
08:27According to the former President's statement at the hearing of the House Quad Committee,
08:31he is ready to face the investigation of the ICC.
08:35According to Bersamin,
08:37if the ICC will refer the process to the Interpol
08:41and the Interpol will issue a red notice to the Philippines,
08:46the country will be forced to consider it.
08:49This means that the authorities of the Philippines will need to assist the Interpol
08:57in adhering to the protocols.
09:02Just this October, Malacanang said that the Philippines will not return to being a member of the ICC.
09:11Following the last cam of a cell phone scam involving a BPO in Bataan,
09:18a person of the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission is facing an administrative investigation.
09:25This is the incident that led to the confrontation.
09:28Let's watch Jun Veneracion's testimony.
09:33I think he's getting closer.
09:35In a raid in Central One, Bataan last month,
09:38because he was involved in scamming and illegal online gambling,
09:41a member of the raiding team was caught by CCTV in a room
09:46and it seems that he was put in a bag.
09:49He was looked around before he left.
09:53That's my phone.
09:54No, it's okay. We'll just return it.
09:57The person who took the cell phone was confronted by his owner.
10:01Who informed you that you took the phone?
10:04Did you advise the team?
10:06No, we didn't.
10:08He was also forced to show what he took.
10:16Why did you kill him?
10:19Confirmed by the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission,
10:23he was the one who recorded the video of someone being put in a cell phone
10:27in a raid in Central One, Bataan last month.
10:30This is what I'm investigating.
10:32He's a driver.
10:33He suddenly entered the room and smiled.
10:36That's not allowed.
10:37If he needs to be put in jail, we will put him in jail.
10:40A member of the raiding team who was recorded was relieved.
10:43He is facing an administrative investigation.
10:46In this raid, an employee caught the spokesperson of Director Winston Cascio.
10:53He was also removed from his position due to the incident.
10:56We do not consent to such things, even though he is our person.
11:0041 foreigners who were arrested in the raid were ordered by the Bureau of Immigration
11:05to be released on November 7.
11:07Their guarantor, Bataan Congressman Albert Garcia,
11:11because Central One Bataan is a legitimate BPO
11:15that provides livelihoods to more than 1,000 of its citizens.
11:19Aside from my appeal to the heads of agencies that nothing will happen,
11:26this has become the final desperate move to facilitate their release.
11:35Because I am ashamed of the legitimate investors of Bataan.
11:38That's what I did.
11:40But according to Paok...
11:41According to the documents of the SEC and the parkour documents that we saw,
11:47they are not licensed.
11:50They are POGO, not BPO.
11:53Yesterday, November 12,
11:55the directive was issued to Executive Secretary and Paok Chairman Lucas Bersamin
12:00in the Department of Justice and Bureau of Immigration
12:03to detain and deport 41 foreigners.
12:07According to Paok's monitoring,
12:09some of the foreigners were flown by a private plane from Clark to Cebu
12:13after they were released.
12:15We heard that the foreigners are now leaving.
12:19And since the foreigners, the POGO workers, are in custody,
12:27I hope that the search for immigration is still intact.
12:31For GMA Integrated News,
12:33June Veneration, 24 Hours.
12:58Emil, the affected residents are not yet able to wake up
13:02because of the storm that hit the province of Isabela.
13:05They are now preparing for the upcoming storm Ophel.
13:09Let's go back to the evacuation center,
13:11especially to the people who lost their homes.
13:18Leonard finally got home this morning
13:20after spending two days in the evacuation center.
13:23But his house was destroyed after a tree fell
13:27because of the storm Nica.
13:29He almost lost all his belongings.
13:31It's hard to lose a house.
13:36Even if we just stay here on this land, it's still hard.
13:39Because there are no stops.
13:43We can't use our things.
13:45I hope someone will help us, even if it's just a little.
13:49But there's no time to worry
13:51because the storm Ophel is coming.
13:54So even if he gets home, he will be evacuated again today.
13:57If we are told to go back, we will go back immediately.
14:02His neighbor, Ms. Jessie,
14:04was affected by the heavy stones on the roof.
14:07His wife, Ms. Rosita,
14:09told her to bury their loved ones.
14:12It's hard to live.
14:14Especially the coconuts that we sold,
14:17all of them were destroyed.
14:19Our bananas, and the eggplants there,
14:23all of them were destroyed.
14:25In Barangay Apanay,
14:27there are seven other families in the evacuation center.
14:29Maileen was five months pregnant
14:31with her daughter and niece.
14:33She still remembers how the storm
14:35hit the walls of their house.
14:38It was sudden, sir.
14:40The wind was very strong.
14:45We were brought here first, sir.
14:48Because it might happen to us again.
14:53The rescue equipment of Alisha MDRMO is ready,
14:56especially the four houses in Barangay
14:58that need to be guarded.
15:00In Ilagan City, there are still 343 families
15:03remaining in the evacuation centers.
15:06Modular tents were also built.
15:08Josephine is here for the third day
15:10because her house is still flooded.
15:12We are afraid, sir,
15:14because another storm is coming.
15:16That's why we are here first.
15:19We encourage them to open
15:21our evacuation centers
15:23because we still have Ophel
15:25and Pepito that are expected
15:27to pass through Northern Luzon.
15:29So that it will be easier for us
15:31to evacuate.
15:3343 barangays in the city are being guarded,
15:35which are considered flood-prone areas.
15:38The repacking of more than 5,000 relief goods
15:40added to the stockpile
15:42of the Panalawigat government is now complete.
15:44The Magat Dam is still open
15:46with two spillway gates
15:48and there is no water.
15:53Meanwhile, Emil,
15:54the monitoring of the authorities
15:56especially in the coastal municipalities
15:58and in the town of Palanan
16:00started the pre-emptive evacuation
16:02earlier this afternoon.
16:04That's all for now from the province of Isabela.
16:06Back to you, Emil.
16:07Thank you very much, James Agustin.
16:11The Senate's budget hearing was attended
16:13by Vice President Sara Duterte
16:15and it was said that 200 people
16:17from her office will lose their jobs
16:19if the budget is not reimbursed.
16:25But the OVP budget is still P733 million
16:28approved by the Senate
16:30for the next year.
16:33Marisol Abdurrahman was there.
16:39If not for the camera,
16:41Vice President Sara Duterte
16:43was not invited
16:45to discuss the budget
16:47of the Office of the Vice President earlier.
16:49The P733 million budget
16:51of the OVP was approved
16:53for the year 2025.
16:55This is also an important approval
16:57from the camera
16:59after more than half
17:01requested to receive P2 billion.
17:03Senator Bong Go,
17:05a well-known ally of the Dutertes,
17:07stood up and manifested
17:09to return the budget of the OVP.
17:11The important programs of the OVP
17:13are affected because
17:15part of it was removed
17:17from the budget of the OVP
17:19under the General Appropriations Bill.
17:21This will be discussed
17:23during the period of amendments.
17:25Although Vice President Sara Duterte
17:27was asked to withdraw
17:29her budget from the Congress,
17:31she hopes to return
17:33her proposed budget of P2 billion
17:35in 2025.
17:37Of course, all the personnel
17:39of the Office of the Vice President
17:41are hopeful
17:43that the budget will be added
17:45because,
17:47as explained earlier
17:49in Senator Bong Go's statement,
17:51everyone wants to work.
17:53If she can return it,
17:55it will be a big thing
17:57because we will not
17:59refuse
18:01those who will come to our office
18:03to ask for help.
18:05According to the Vice President,
18:07if she can return her budget,
18:09the 200 personnel
18:11are expected to lose their jobs.
18:13Particularly,
18:15the satellite offices
18:17will lose their jobs.
18:19That's a lot.
18:21Most of the satellite offices
18:23will lose their jobs
18:25because the operations
18:27of the National Capital Region are big.
18:29The Vice President was also asked
18:31about the transfer of her father's hero
18:33former President Rodrigo Duterte.
18:35It was clearly
18:37a political persecution.
18:39I've seen it many times.
18:41Even if
18:43the budget of the OVP
18:45was approved by NEP,
18:47when we came to the House of Representatives,
18:49we were asked again and again.
18:51They use the rules according to their pleasure.
18:53Even if it's unconstitutional,
18:55the rules
18:57are still used.
18:59When asked
19:01if she's worried about her father,
19:03I don't think
19:05he'll go there
19:07if he thinks he can't
19:09or he's weak
19:11health-wise.
19:13So, he'll be okay.
