00:00Live from the GMA Network Center,
00:0420 years have passed since the quake struck.
00:07Here's a look at what's going on.
00:11Two earthquakes are affecting the country right now,
00:15as you can see in that satellite image.
00:19While the earthquake was still far away,
00:21the Pepito earthquake was slowly approaching the earth,
00:25which, according to the forecast,
00:27has fallen under the so-called rapid intensification,
00:32or a rapid increase,
00:33and could possibly become a super typhoon.
00:37This is affecting some parts of Luzon and Visayas,
00:41where it will rain.
00:43And the places that should be prepared for the upcoming typhoon,
00:47we will bring to you later.
00:51Good evening, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
00:55Vice President Sara Duterte called
00:58that the former President Rodrigo Duterte is the best dramatic actor.
01:04This is related to the investigation of the camera in the War on Drugs.
01:08The former Senator Antonio Trillanes also answered Visay's back-accounts.
01:13Visay will also not attend the new invitation of the camera
01:18to listen to the confidential funds of his occupation,
01:22Marisol Abduraman answered.
01:28She said, how are you?
01:30My performance, and I said, best dramatic actor.
01:33This is according to Vice President Sara Duterte,
01:36what the former President Rodrigo Duterte was talking about
01:40following the investigation of the camera in the War on Drugs of AMA.
01:44Visay came to the Senate Budget Deliberations Seminary
01:48and went straight to the camera to accompany AMA.
01:51The day started at 6 a.m. and it was around 10-30 p.m.
01:56They said that I might have low blood sugar, so I couldn't eat.
02:02I apologized, but he didn't want to.
02:06But he believed it when we told him to eat first.
02:12As a lawyer, Visay doesn't understand the rules used in the hearing.
02:16They use inquiry and investigation interchangeably.
02:21So you don't know if it's an inquiry, you're a research person.
02:24If it's an investigation, you're a witness or an accused.
02:28The camera's Quad Committee hasn't reached that point yet.
02:31At the hearing, former Senator Antonio Trellanes
02:34re-examined the bank accounts of the Dutertes.
02:37Visay said that he went to all the banks one by one
02:40and asked for the accounts that were named after him.
02:43I asked the bank why this happened.
02:45They said that those accounts might be non-existent.
02:50So I have the accounting, even the transactions that they said.
02:56I also asked the bank.
03:00He also insisted on accepting the invitation
03:04to separate the OVP Confidential Fund.
03:08Visay said that he won't attend the invitation of the House Committee on Good Government and Accountability.
03:13But they plan to send a letter to the committee.
03:17We plan to say why.
03:19And then I plan as well to submit an affidavit about the confidential funds.
03:25That affidavit is also under oath.
03:27They only invited me once in the beginning.
03:30I went there, I sat there.
03:33They didn't ask me.
03:35If you can see, I was just sitting there.
03:38I was wasting my time.
03:40That's why I said goodbye.
03:42If I can leave, they allowed me to leave.
03:45It seems that the committee that invited VP Sara to the hearing also forgot
03:49the reason why he wasn't able to attend the hearings
03:52that he said in an interview with the Senate.
03:55They only invited me once.
03:57Visay also asked if the Duterte family is worried.
04:01Now, their father is the one who wants to be investigated by the ICC.
04:06I also have a lawyer in the ICC, but he's not here.
04:09We didn't talk after the hearing.
04:14He should be the one to prepare because he will be the one to go there first.
04:18As for me, nothing yet.
04:20The people we asked said that they don't have a complaint yet,
04:24they don't have an investigation yet, nothing yet.
04:27But they are preparing.
04:29In a statement, the House Committee on Good Government and Accountability Chairperson,
04:33Rep. Joel Chua, said that they gave VP Sara a fair opportunity
04:38to clarify the use of the Office of the Vice President
04:41of their Confidential Fund and Intelligence Funds.
04:44It was also clarified that they sent an invitation to the second hearing
04:48and the following hearings were rejected.
04:52The committee will only study the affidavit submitted by VP Sara,
04:55but they said that they would prefer to face him personally in the committee.
05:00For GMA Integrating News, Marisol Abduraman reporting for 24 Hours.
05:08More than 20 women were taken from Pambubugao to a resort in Tondo, Manila.
05:14They are being taken care of by foreigners,
05:17including some Chinese working in Pugo.
05:21John Consulta is reporting.
05:23In this resort in Tondo, Manila,
05:30the Bugao are swimming the 23 women to be chosen by the foreign parochial.
05:36When they received the money to pay,
05:39the NBI arrested their target and suspects.
05:42All the victims were injured, including the six minors.
05:46On instructions of Director Jaime Santiago,
05:51the NCR led by Chief Jerome Hernandez launched an operation
05:56where we rescued 23 victims being offered for sexual services to foreigners
06:04at the rate of between 10,000 to 15,000.
06:08According to the NBI, the women were cheated by Chinese working in Pugo and other foreigners.
06:16They came from different places, Pasig, Caloocan, Quezon City, and Pampanga.
06:23Their clients are normally Chinese, Korean, and other races.
06:31That's why their rate is very high.
06:34First, the victims' photos are being sent to social media
06:39before being taken to the resort where they are being cheated by the parochial.
06:44Were you forced to do it?
06:45No, I wasn't.
06:46You weren't?
06:47I wasn't forced.
06:48I wasn't forced.
06:49You weren't forced?
06:50I wasn't forced.
06:51Okay. So where did they go?
06:52Some of them volunteered.
06:53We turned over the rescued victims to the DSWD.
06:57It depends on the resolution of the fiscal as to the arrested subjects.
07:07For GMA Integrated News, I'm John Consulta.
07:10It's been 24 hours.
07:14The Philippine Area of Responsibility has been released
07:17but it's possible that the typhoon Ophel will return.
07:20And before that, it left a deep scar on Cagayan.
07:24The river was flooded and two villages were damaged.
07:29And from Gonzaga, Cagayan, it's been live,
07:32Jasmine Gabriel Galvan of TV Regional TV.
07:37Jasmine!
07:41Vicky, at this time, the restoration of the damaged river is ongoing here in the area.
07:51The roofs were blown up and the facilities were destroyed.
07:58That's the effect of the strong wind and the heavy rain of the super typhoon Ophel
08:02before it landfalled in the town of Baggao yesterday.
08:05It's a big problem because the students in Sitia Valley Cove in Barangay Santa Margarita
08:09seem to have no way to go back to school.
08:16In the town of Santa Ana, many places were flooded again.
08:20That's why even at night, the authorities are still rescuing the residents living near the river.
08:25A terrifying flash flood was also experienced in the neighboring town of Gonzaga.
08:29One of the flash floods was in San Jose Bridge,
08:32where the other side of the bridge was destroyed.
08:35Many vehicles were stranded on the road.
08:37Large pieces of the road were also scattered,
08:40which were believed to be from the mountains.
08:43In this drone shot of the Philippine Red Cross,
08:45it can be seen how many trees were hit by the flash flood.
08:49The residents were discarded one by one so that they won't be affected in their destination.
08:55Because of the lack of access to the San Jose Bridge in the town of Gonzaga,
08:58the residents are crossing the river to go to their destinations.
09:04Mang Pedro is from the town of Santa Ana.
09:07It's important for him to go to the town of Gonzaga
09:10because he needs to fix the broken roof of his son's house.
09:13It's hard ma'am.
09:15It's been a long time since the vehicle came here.
09:18That's why I'm just walking.
09:19The DPWH promised to fix it immediately.
09:23What's broken is our approaches that were washed out.
09:27So I can assure that we can easily restore it.
09:33Because we have a lot of equipment.
09:35Both private and DPWH are helping.
09:39I think even the LGU.
09:41Within the day, I'm very sure,
09:43people will be able to pass.
09:45We will fix it quickly.
09:47Aside from the broken roof,
09:49the flash flood also left a deep scar on the farmers.
09:51Farmers now have a problem on how to farm again.
09:55Their hectares of rice fields have been covered by large pieces from the mountains.
10:01We were able to reach the middle of a large piece of land
10:05where the farmer was sitting while he was watching the cow he was raising
10:09that was saved from the flood.
10:11He felt very guilty.
10:13He raised four cows and three pigs that died after the flood.
10:17His rice fields were also covered by pieces of land.
10:21It's hard to explain ma'am.
10:23We have to take care of our livelihood.
10:25The rice fields are also covered by pieces of land.
10:29It's up to the Conmama.
10:31As of now, there is a wide range of assessment by the authorities
10:34regarding the damage caused by the flood.
10:36Meanwhile, because of the good weather,
10:38the farmers were allowed to go home.
10:40Even though the farmers are from Barangay Palawig,
10:43they went home early in the morning.
10:47Will you go home now?
10:48Yes ma'am.
10:49We will check on our house if there's anything to fix.
10:53But the weather is fine right?
10:54Yes ma'am.
10:55It's okay ma'am.
11:00Vicky, at the moment, there are more stranded people here.
11:04But according to the DPWH,
11:06tonight, their target is to open the roads to the motorists.
11:10Vicky?
11:11Thank you very much, Jasmine Gabriel Galvan,
11:14of GMA Regional TV.
11:17Emil, the Provincial Government of Quezon
11:20evacuated the residents living in critical areas
11:24as a preparation for the upcoming flood.
11:28If there are those who did not obey Emil,
11:31the police and soldiers will be the ones to evacuate them.
11:40The Philippine Coast Guard will be on their way
11:43to evacuate the residents near the sea in Lucena City, Quezon
11:47as a preparation for the upcoming flood.
11:49Good afternoon everyone.
11:51I am reminding you to be prepared for the upcoming flood.
11:57I am reminding you from the Philippine Coast Guard.
12:00The barangay residents in Lucena City are already used to the strong flood.
12:04This was our house before.
12:06It was washed out and brought to the sea.
12:08That's why now, there is an upcoming flood.
12:10The boats of fishermen are already on their way from the sea.
12:14Most of the residents are already prepared.
12:16Our equipment is already ready this morning.
12:19I also raised our equipment so that the flood can enter.
12:23What are you doing to the family?
12:25Let me do it first.
12:27Let me go to Laguna first.
12:30The responders in the province are already alert.
12:33The supplies in the evacuation centers are also ready.
12:36Emil, our GMA Kapuso Foundation will arrive here in Quezon and Bicol Region
12:42as a preparation for the upcoming flood.
12:45Thank you very much, Jun Veneracion.
12:49Let's update on the weather this weekend.
12:52I am here with Amon La Rosa of GMA Integrated News Weather Center.
12:56Amon?
12:58Thank you, Ms. Mel.
12:59Kapuso, there are two floods that are affecting our country.
13:03The Ophel Flood and the Pipito Flood that could also be a super typhoon.
13:09Be prepared and alert because the weather will be harsh
13:12in a large part of our province.
13:15Let's start with the Ophel Flood that hit outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility
13:21and passed 205 kilometers west-northwest of Itbayat, Batanes.
13:26It caused a strong wind of 100 kilometers per hour
13:30and a storm of 125 kilometers per hour.
13:34It moved north-northwest at a speed of 15 kilometers per hour.
13:40In the forecast track, it will return to the Philippine Area of Responsibility tonight.
13:46It will recurve and will hit the southwestern portion of Taiwan
13:52where it is also possible for it to landfall.
13:54Because the Ophel Flood is still close to the extreme northern zone,
13:59the signal number one in Batanes is still high,
14:02particularly in Itbayat.
14:05The Pipito Flood was last seen 465 kilometers east of Gihuan, eastern Samar.
14:11It caused a strong wind of 150 kilometers per hour.
14:15Compared to the past few hours, it is even stronger now.
14:19It will hit 185 kilometers per hour
14:22and it will move west-northwest at a speed of 30 kilometers per hour.
14:28Because of the Pipito Flood,
14:30the signal number two is high in the eastern portion of northern Samar,
14:35northern portion of eastern Samar,
14:37and also in the northeastern portion of Samar.
14:40The signal number one is in Aurora, Quezon,
14:43eastern portion of Laguna, Marinduque,
14:46Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur,
14:48Catanduanes, Albaya, Sorsogon, and also in Masbate.
14:52In Visayas, the signal number one is also high in the eastern portion of Laguna,
14:56and also in Masbate.
14:58In Visayas, the signal number one is also high in the northern portion of northern Samar,
15:02northern portion of eastern Samar,
15:04and also in the northeastern portion of Samar,
15:07as well as in Biliran.
15:09People, it is possible that the weather has calmed down in the mentioned areas,
15:13especially in the areas under signal number one.
15:16But let's use this opportunity to prepare.
15:20Meanwhile, in the latest forecast track of the forecast,
15:23it is possible that the storm Pepito will hit Catanduanes tomorrow night
15:28or Sunday morning.
15:31But because it entered the cone of probability or cone of uncertainty,
15:35the other part of the Bicol region,
15:37it can also hit Camarines Sur, Albay,
15:41or here in the part of Sorsogon.
15:44But people, there is also a chance that it will go down a bit.
15:48And if that happens, it is possible that it will hit northern Samar
15:52tomorrow afternoon or night.
15:54If it rises a bit, it can also landfall here in the eastern coast of Aurora
16:00or in the eastern portion of Quezon.
16:03Whichever of these will continue to pass or pass near the Bicol region,
16:08as well as in Quezon, Central Luzon, and also in Pangasinan this weekend.
16:13But people, let's not just focus on the landfall points
16:17because it is also possible to feel the strong winds
16:21and also the rains here in the cone of probability.
16:26From Cordillera region, some parts of Ilocos provinces,
16:30Isabela, Quirino, and also some parts of Central Luzon,
16:34and also Metro Manila, Calabarzon, and also here in some parts of Marinduque.
16:40It means that everyone who is here in that highlighted part should be prepared
16:44because for now, we are not yet sure where the storm will really hit.
16:50But you should be alert because you will be able to experience
16:54the strong effects of the Pipito storm this weekend.
16:58Sunday night or Monday morning, the Pipito storm is also possible in the West Philippines.
17:04And based on the data of Metro Weather,
17:07so earlier we talked about the wind signals or the strong winds,
17:11now it's the rains.
17:13Tomorrow morning, you will experience the rains here in Samar and later provinces
17:19and some parts of Bicol region.
17:21It will continue until the afternoon.
17:24And the Pipito storm will be closer here in Eastern Visayas and also in Cabiculan.
17:30You can see that it's pink, red, and orange.
17:34It means that it's heavy to intense or intense to torrential
17:39and the rains are almost non-stop.
17:42Sunday morning, the storm will also hit the part of Quezon,
17:47the eastern section of Central and also the eastern section of Northern Luzon
17:52and also some parts of Mimaropa.
17:56Sunday afternoon until night, almost the whole Luzon will experience the heavy rains.
18:01You can see that the map of Luzon is almost covered.
18:05These are the heavy rains of the Pipito storm.
18:09And we are also expecting the rains.
18:12It's possible to experience from Northern down to Central Luzon and some parts of Quezon
18:17and also of Mimaropa.
18:19We are also expecting that Metro Manila will also experience heavy rains.
18:25There are also heavy rains in a large part of Mindanao.
18:29But most of it is because of localized thunderstorms.
18:33The effect of the Pipito storm is not direct.
18:36But be careful because the thunderstorms will bring heavy rains.
18:40By Monday, there will still be heavy rains in the northern and central portions of Luzon
18:47and also in the extreme northern part of Luzon.
18:49So be careful of the possibility of floods and landslides.
18:53We are expecting that it will still be part of the tropical extension of the storm.
18:58We are also expecting heavy rains in other parts of our country.
19:04It's possible that the Pipito storm will get stronger before it hits the land.
19:09When it reaches the super typhoon category, it's possible that it will reach the signal number 5.
19:16We are also expecting strong winds.
19:19It will bring strong winds.
19:22So be alert.
19:23It's possible that there will still be changes in the movement of the storm.
19:26So stay tuned for updates and be prepared.
19:29And of course, consult your local government if you need to evacuate.
19:34That's the latest news in our time.
19:36I am Amor La Rosa.
19:38This is the GMA Integrated News Weather Center.
19:40You can expect anything, anytime.
19:43Meanwhile, it's hard to enter some parts of Adams, Ilocos Norte
19:48because of the damaged roads and bridges.
19:50We were also able to monitor in Pagudpod where Darlene Katt is live.
19:56Darlene.
20:00Vicky, the arrangement of some roads and bridges in some places here in Ilocos Norte is already under way
20:05because of the upcoming storms.
20:08The three places in the town of Adams are still isolated.
20:17The house is destroyed.
20:18Destroyed.
20:20There's no roof left.
20:22Where are the roofs?
20:23Alan was just screamed when he saw the house that was destroyed by the Marseille storm last week in Adams, Ilocos Norte.
20:30There's nothing left.
20:31There's no air.
20:33It didn't fly.
20:34Almost nothing was left from the roof, walls, and other things inside.
20:38It's hard for us to start again because we don't have a job.
20:48When the storm stopped, we were really sad.
20:57This is how their house is now.
20:59The house is now covered with tiles, plastic, and plywood.
21:02But it doesn't get affected by the wind and rain of the upcoming storms.
21:07Yesterday, he felt like he got a wound
21:11when he was able to remove the new wall made of iron.
21:14I just prayed that the storm would end.
21:19Because we really can't think of what to do.
21:26And he's not alone.
21:28Around Adams, the house was also destroyed by the storm.
21:33So even though she's 82 years old,
21:35she's helping to clean the trees, leaves, and other things on the road
21:39to earn a small amount of money to build a house.
21:42I had a hard time because my kitchen was destroyed.
21:47Everything in the house was destroyed.
21:52In Poblacion 3, a spillway was built so the vehicles couldn't pass.
21:56This bridge was also cut off after some parts were destroyed, even the cement.
22:00The soil and the floodway were also destroyed.
22:03From where I'm standing to that tree,
22:06the cement road was that long when the soil was destroyed
22:11because of the landslide that happened when the storm hit Mars.
22:15Until now, clearing operations are having a hard time
22:17because of the upcoming storms.
22:20Clearing operations are dangerous to the workers
22:22because of the upcoming storms.
22:24That's why it's not being cleared and cleared.
22:26When we built the roads or landslides,
22:30when it rains, the landslides happen again.
22:33The airport is a waste.
22:35The landslides happen again.
22:37We can't clear our roads.
22:42Because of the damaged roads and landslides,
22:44the three locations of Adams, according to the MDRRMO,
22:47are isolated and can't be reached from outside.
22:49When we provide relief,
22:51the four-wheels can't reach us.
22:54We have to walk.
22:56It's a single motorcycle but it's risky.
22:59That's what we're doing.
23:01The help is important,
23:03especially given by the upcoming storms.
23:06Because of the damaged roads,
23:08the land of the residents can't be traveled.
23:11But like other places in Northern Luzon,
23:13the Calamity Fund of Adams is running out.
23:16We need help from the government,
23:20especially the provincial government,
23:23the national government.
23:25We need help.
23:26Number one is the equipment,
23:29the infrastructure,
23:33the food that the people need,
23:37and the replacement for the agricultural damages.
23:47Vicky, the entire province is still on alert
23:50for the upcoming storms.
23:52The affected residents are also receiving help,
23:55aside from the family food packs from the DSWD.
23:58The provincial government of Northern Ilocos
24:01has also provided construction materials
24:03for the residents whose houses were damaged.
24:06That's the latest from Northern Ilocos.
24:08Back to you, Vicky.
24:09Thank you very much, Darlene Cai.
24:16.
