00:00The rescue of a drowning man in Cagayan River, Amulung, was carried out by rescuers.
00:22He was able to retrieve the fallen trees from the river in the middle of August.
00:27The Cagayan River reached a critical level under the Bunton Bridge in Tuguegarao City.
00:34Authorities advised the residents to stay in evacuation centers, especially since the Ophel Flood is not yet a landfall.
00:41In Enrile's house, several streets were still flooded.
00:44Some houses were also submerged in the water.
00:47Enrile MDRRM-Uruon will continue to monitor the situation.
00:53Several houses were also submerged in the water in the province of Isabela, particularly in Ilagan City and the town of Tumawini.
01:01Some streets were flooded because of the water in the crops.
01:06Farmers were also in trouble because several typhoons passed by and damaged their crops.
01:12In the town of Alicia, some families are still staying in evacuation centers.
01:18Hundreds of families in Isabela are still staying in evacuation centers since the typhoons passed by.
01:24It is expected that the Ophel Flood will landfall there today.
01:28Live from Ilagan City, we have the first news.
01:31James Agustin.
01:33James.
01:37Van, good morning.
01:38The sky is dark and there are heavy rains that we experienced earlier today.
01:43This is in Ilagan City, Isabela.
01:47The emergency operations center of the province is in a red alert status.
01:51It is strictly monitored, especially by coastal municipalities such as Palanan, Dibilakan, Makunakon, and Dinapigue.
01:58In Ilagan City, 43 out of 71 barangays are considered flood-prone areas.
02:04That is why the rescue boats that were deployed following the typhoon are still prepositioned until now.
02:09More than 300 families are staying in evacuation centers, equivalent to more than 1,000 individuals.
02:15Some of them evacuated when the typhoon Nika passed by.
02:18And because of the Ophel Flood, they were told not to go home.
02:21Even the wild animals were evacuated because the crops were submerged.
02:25There is one continuation that was not passed for four days because of the high pressure of the Pinacanawan River.
02:31Meanwhile, Ivan, you can see that part of the Pinacanawan River.
02:35In the middle of it, they have what is called Bakulud Bridge.
02:39Residents are using it to cross to the other barangay.
02:42Because it has not been passed for several days, since Monday afternoon,
02:46the residents still have to go around the river because of the high pressure of the water.
02:53This morning, we were able to reach the side of the road that leads to the river.
02:58The clearing operations that the authorities are carrying out because of the high pressure of the wind
03:02that was caused by the typhoon Nika.
03:07And this morning, we are experiencing the rescue in this area.
03:11But there was a strong rain earlier this morning.
03:14First is the latest from Ilagan City, Isabela.
03:17I am James Agustin for Germany Integrated News.
03:20James, there is a strong wind that is expected to bring in the typhoon and there is a strong rain.
03:26Are there any residents who were left in their homes and were not evacuated or forced evacuation was carried out?
03:33There was no forced evacuation event carried out here in Ilagan City.
03:41But coastal municipalities already had a pre-emptive evacuation.
03:45On our way around yesterday, there were evacuees, residents who returned to their homes.
03:51But they will also return to the evacuation center.
03:54These are the residents who really stayed in low-lying areas.
03:58And in some areas, the residents said that because the river is not that high,
04:04they are also being monitored because there are wild animals or plants.
04:09So you mentioned the flooding.
04:12James, are there places in Isabela that are still flooded because of the typhoon and it is not yet raining?
04:21Yes, Ivan. In some towns that we visited here in the province of Isabela yesterday,
04:25there are still floods.
04:27But usually, in the towns, if there are houses,
04:31these are the houses where the barangay is really low and the road is low.
04:35That's why it's near the rice fields.
04:38But those are also subsided.
04:40That's why the residents are worried that because of the typhoon Ophel, it is possible that the water level will rise again.
04:48Be careful. Thank you very much, James Agustin.
04:51Wind signal number four is now high in some places in Cagayan because of the typhoon Ophel.
04:57Let's update the situation on our first live news.
05:00Justin Gabriel Galvan of GMA Regional TV.
05:04Jasmine?
05:06Ivan, at this time, the effect of the typhoon Ophel is already felt here in the town of Santa Ana in the province of Cagayan.
05:13The wind is strong and the waves are also high in Baybayin.
05:17It is as if the windmills in the roof of Ms. Mayet's house were covered with paper
05:21after experiencing the typhoon Marse in the province of Palawig, Santa Ana, Cagayan.
05:26Almost four layers of sand fell on their house because of the typhoon Marse.
05:32Even inside the house, the sand also entered.
05:35And now there is a typhoon Ophel, while they are continuing in the house of her husband.
05:40I don't know what to do because our house hasn't been fixed yet and there's another typhoon coming.
05:47Ms. Sabina used a big rope to tie the roof and other parts of the house.
05:53When the typhoon Marse hit, the adjacent building collapsed and was filled with scrap.
05:58The windmills are flying because the typhoon Marse is really strong.
06:04The people of Cagayan are preparing for the possible effects of the typhoon Ophel.
06:07In Garau City, the evacuees will not be allowed to return to their homes
06:12so that they can be safe from the typhoon Ophel in the province.
06:16They are pitiful.
06:18You know how tiring it is to carry things.
06:21And of course, it's heavy.
06:23So we decided that we will not let the typhoon Ophel hit us.
06:29The authorities in the province of Cagayan remain alert.
06:32The rescuers in different parts of the province remain in position.
06:37Residents in the coastal barangay are being careful in the face of the storm surge.
06:42The pre-emptive evacuation in the province was also ordered yesterday.
06:50Events are now being held around the province.
06:54Events are now being held around the coastal barangay in the province of Santa Ana.
06:59Residents are being warned to evacuate this morning.
07:02Ivana?
07:03Jasmine, the typhoon that hit Cagayan followed.
07:08How is the condition of the people in the evacuation center?
07:12Many of them are sick.
07:14Even you, I noticed that your voice is hoarse.
07:18You know, Ivan, in our questions to the residents,
07:21because within two weeks, they went back and forth to the evacuation center almost three times,
07:27we can feel their fatigue.
07:29Actually, some of them are saying that they are doing it over and over again
07:33to go to the evacuation center, to go home, and to go back to the evacuation center.
07:39Their condition is fine because the typhoon hit Cagayan.
07:44Their condition is fine because the local government units and the DSWD are continuously providing food packs.
07:53But for now, Ivan, what they want is to be given hot meals,
07:57especially if they are inside the evacuation center.
08:00It's better to give them hot meals because cooking inside the evacuation center is already difficult.
08:06There are also those who are sick, Ivan.
08:09But there are also those who are on standby, health personnel inside the evacuation center.
08:14So there is a rush to look at the residents who are sick,
08:19to give them hot meals to go back and forth to the evacuation center because of the next typhoon, Ivan.
08:24Be careful and hold on, Cagayan.
08:27Thank you very much.
08:28Jasmine Gabriel Galvan, GMA Regional TV.
08:32In other news,
08:33yesterday, the House Squad Committee on War on Drugs
08:37confessed to former President Rodrigo Duterte that he killed several people
08:41and that they planted evidence.
08:44He is challenging the International Criminal Court or ICC to investigate the drug war.
08:50They are now going to the Philippines to investigate.
08:53We have first news, Jonathan Andal.
09:00I'm asking the ICC to hurry up
09:04and if possible, they can come here and start the investigation.
09:11Former President Rodrigo Duterte said several times
09:14that since he was the President,
09:16he has not recognized the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court or ICC in the Philippines.
09:21But he is challenging his first meeting with the Camera Squad Committee
09:25to go to the Philippines to investigate the war on drugs.
09:30This issue has been left hanging for so many years.
09:34It's been a long time, ma'am.
09:35I might die and they won't be able to investigate me.
09:39So I'm asking the ICC, through you,
09:43to come here and start the investigation.
09:48And if I am found guilty, I will go to prison and rot there for all time.
09:54He is not afraid of the ICC.
09:57The ICC does not scare me a bit.
10:03They can come here anytime.
10:06No excuses.
10:08No apologies.
10:11If I go to hell, so be it.
10:16Give me money and I will go to the ICC.
10:19Duterte defended the deaths during the war on drugs.
10:22He also admitted that he killed someone.
10:25Did you kill yourself?
10:28Me? A lot.
10:31About six or seven.
10:34I did not go to the hospital.
10:40A lot of police killed me in Davao.
10:44Criminals.
10:45I killed myself.
10:49He also ordered the killing of manufacturers and distributors of drugs.
10:53But not the drug addicts.
10:55He said not the addicts. I said drug dealers and drug users.
11:01Why did he kill the addicts? Bring them to the hospital.
11:04I will admit that my order is to kill drug manufacturers and big time drug distributors.
11:20He also admitted that he planted evidence.
11:23We planted evidence.
11:25That's true.
11:26So you really planted evidence?
11:28That was a part of the strategy as a mayor.
11:31He also admitted that the police received money from the drug war.
11:35But it was not the 20,000 to 1 million pesos per person who was killed.
11:39It was stolen by the former trustee of the police, Ruyina Garma.
11:43These are the people who died. They were paid 20,000 to 1 million pesos.
11:48There is a police operation.
11:50The police knows about it.
11:53I am funding it.
11:55This is a very particular project.
12:00If they accomplish it,
12:03the police officer or the leader officer will say,
12:09Sir, there is too much. It's not enough.
12:12That's it.
12:14For the boys.
12:16That's it, sir.
12:18Mr. Chair?
12:19Reward. Correct. Very correct.
12:23It's really true.
12:26And sometimes, I will give more.
12:30Duterte refused to answer Representative Raul Manuel's question
12:33about the confidential funds of the office of the president.
12:37That's why it's called intelligence and confidential.
12:43So don't ask what confidential I did.
12:47It's confidential.
12:51I am protecting the interest of the republic when I dispense confidential funds.
12:57Do not make me account for something which I cannot do legally.
13:06But at one point, Duterte said,
13:08he used the money from the campaign funds in Pabuya.
13:12I still remember that you mentioned that the money from the campaign funds
13:21will be utilized for the reward system.
13:25You mentioned that and I saw the video.
13:27That's private money, Mr. President.
13:29Yes. It's from me.
13:31It's not private money.
13:33I already received it.
13:35I already held the money.
13:38I was already holding it when I was in the official office.
13:45The victims of the drug war were also affected
13:48because of the images of their loved ones.
13:51We were more hurt when we learned that there was a reward.
13:56That's how our loved ones played with their lives.
14:00It's really hard for us.
14:05Until now, there is no justice because there is no proper investigation for the Filipinos.
14:17Former Senator Leila Delima was also jailed for almost seven years
14:21after being involved in the Belibid drug trade.
14:25She is also a former president of the entire country.
14:28Do you believe that Secretary Delima is the mother of all drug lords?
14:33Who said it, sir?
14:35Director Ruel Lazala and Reynaldo Esmeralda,
14:38former NBI officer-in-charge of the Department of Justice.
14:42I would like to congratulate them for making this statement.
14:45Absolutely false.
14:47I have nothing to do with illegal drugs.
14:52It's just part of their propaganda.
14:55You are the lord of all drug lords.
14:58I will not become president if I am like that.
15:03At 4 p.m., the son of the former president, Vice President Sara Duterte, arrived
15:08and sat near his father's back.
15:11The VC did not initiate an interview.
15:14In the continuation of the hearing, Duterte again promised legal responsibility
15:18for the killings in the drug war.
15:20He also reiterated the details of Garma's affidavit.
15:23I have not read the affidavit
15:26so that I would not be in a position to correctly really respond to your question.
15:33You are now trying to investigate me.
15:38You are like an investigator.
15:40You are trying to confront me with the statements made in that affidavit
15:46and you are trying to exact an answer from me.
15:52If that's the case, let's stop here.
15:56That is not proper.
15:59That is not fair.
16:02Mr. President, we're not...
16:04No, no. I will stand here.
16:07And when Duterte was asked about the seven private citizens who were members of his death squad...
16:13Even if they exist, why would I tell you the names now to you?
16:22Do you think I'm stupid?
16:24If you give me your name, you put the family and the persons in danger?
16:32Mr. President...
16:33Is that a proper question?
16:36Former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV also attended the hearing.
16:40He is a well-known critic of Duterte.
16:42He gave details about the bank transactions of Duterte.
16:46These transactions were made by Vice President Sara, Duterte, Basté, Pulong Duterte, and Hanilef Abancena.
17:03These are the manager's checks under their name
17:09and the origin of the account is one of the drug lords mentioned by Las Cañas, Sammy Uy.
17:19The drug lord is dividends to Duterte's family every October and April.
17:28That's why it's one after another.
17:30And by the way, we can see Vice President Sara.
17:34She has two checks under her name, manager's checks, while she was mayor.
17:46That's why it's a direct bribery.
17:49Trillanes has yet to say anything.
17:51I'm willing to execute an affidavit
17:56to summon the banks to my waiver.
18:06If there is only one truth, I will hang myself.
18:11If there is only one truth, I will resign and I will ask my daughter to resign and everybody in the family.
18:22That is my guarantee.
18:24And I will hang myself.
18:27I will sign the document tomorrow and I will hand it because the lawyer will do it.
18:37At one point, Duterte has a challenge to Trillanes.
18:40There is an iota of...
18:44I will hang myself.
18:46So, in the same manner, if I hang myself, Trillanes should hang himself too.
18:56He said that he will give a waiver.
18:59It's all bluff.
19:00But it's better if we draft it now so he can sign it here.
19:06Will the former president be okay that if we draft the waiver now, that it be signed today instead of tomorrow?
19:13What is the alternative, sir?
19:15No.
19:16I will slap him in public.
19:19No.
19:20Do it now.
19:21There is no such thing.
19:22I will give you a...
19:23I will slap him in public.
19:26Session suspended.
19:27Session suspended.
19:32The hearing was suspended for a moment.
19:34The hearing was suspended for a moment.
19:35In the end, Paumanhin asked Duterte to resign from his position at that point of the hearing
19:40and removed the alleged slap from the records of the hearing.
19:44This is the first news.
19:45Jonathan Andal for GMA Integrated News.
19:51The government will not stop the former President Rodrigo Duterte
19:54if he wants to surrender to the International Criminal Court or ICC
19:58that is investigating the war on drugs.
20:01This was said by Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin,
20:03according to the statements of the former President during the hearing of the House Squad Committee yesterday.
20:08But if the ICC will refer the process to the International Criminal Police Organization or Interpol
20:14and the Interpol will issue a red notice to the Philippines,
20:17the Philippines will be obliged to assist the Interpol based on the protocol.
20:23Just this October, Malacanang reiterated that the Philippines will not return to the Rome Statute that was established in the ICC.
20:29Former President Bongbong Marcos also said that he will not recognize the jurisdiction of the ICC in the Philippines.
20:35When Bersamin read the statement in the Quadcom hearing,
20:38the former President Duterte reiterated that there is no jurisdiction of the ICC in the Philippines.
20:46Vice President Sara Duterte received a new invitation from the House Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability.
20:54Duterte was invited again by the Committee on Investigation
20:57for the misuse of his office of confidential funds.
21:01The Committee signed the letter.
21:04According to the letter, the hearing will be held next week, November 20.
21:08Duterte needs to be present at the hearing to clarify the issue.
21:13Duterte received the letter from the Committee that he will attend the hearing of the House Squad Committee
21:18on War on Drugs, where his father, former President Rodrigo Duterte, attended.
21:24The former President said that he did not expect that his son will attend the hearing.
21:28When asked if he was willing to attend the hearing,
21:32Duterte said that he will do what he learned from his father.
21:39The supply of pork to some families in Quezon City was affected by the typhoon.
21:45Let's price check that on Unang Balita Live.
21:47Baya Pinla.
21:49Baya?
21:53Ivan, if our families are starting to lay down their budget for their preparations for this holiday season,
22:00we hope that the price of pork will continue to rise in the coming weeks.
22:06Let's go.
22:11In the early hours of the day, the pork vendors, Nanay Ida and Nanay Feli,
22:16were already selling their pork in their stalls in Kamuning Market in Quezon City.
22:20They say that the prices of their stalls have been rising for the past few weeks
22:24because the holiday season is getting closer.
22:28It's been rising for the past three weeks.
22:31It's continuing.
22:33Yes, it's still rising, ma'am.
22:34That's our tradition when Christmas is coming.
22:38It's because it's cheap.
22:41There are bonuses, and there are many occasions.
22:48We are preparing together.
22:55According to some of the vendors,
22:57the price is already high even though their supply of pork has decreased
23:02because of the recent typhoons.
23:05The vendor, Norma, is discarding the pork to save money.
23:09We will cut the pork.
23:15That's what we do.
23:16So that people can eat.
23:18We can sell it.
23:21In Kamuning Market,
23:22the price of pork is between P320 and P360 per kilo of pork.
23:28And P350 to P400 per kilo of pork.
23:33That's higher than the price monitoring of the Department of Agriculture
23:37in some markets in Metro Manila from November 4 to 9.
23:41P319 per kilo of pork and P363 per kilo of pork.
23:50Ivan, according to some of the pork vendors,
23:52in the past, the vendors become more gallant,
23:55especially during Christmas.
23:58That's why they are not worried that their sales might go down.
24:02That's the first news from Quezon City.
24:04Bea Pinlac for GMA Integrated News.
24:13Bea is already reacting.
24:15She's already reacting.
24:16She's already reacting.
24:17She's already reacting.
24:19Bea Lonzo is already reacting to her pictures with a non-showbiz guy.
24:24Bea wrote on her Instagram story,
24:26just relax.
24:27She clarified that they are just friends of the guy in the pictures.
24:32The Widow's War star also called the stories that are spreading ridiculous
24:36with a matching LOL emoji.
24:38Bea also said, and I quote,
24:40let's just be calm.
24:43So don't force it, right?
24:46And don't put it wrong.
24:48Not all of your male friends are your boyfriends.
24:50You're not a boyfriend, right?
24:52It's like that.
24:53Exactly.
24:54Anyway, the concert was held by SB19 member Josh Cullen
24:59in Hong Kong this Sunday.

25:07BBQ Warriors enjoyed the overseas Filipino workers
