NewsTranscript
00:00Let's be together and become Taksi!
00:15Before leaving the country, the super typhoon Pepito hit the large part of Luzon.
00:22And aside from the strong rain, wind, and typhoon, it also caused landslides.
00:27In Nueva Vizcaya, seven people lost their lives and their houses were swept away by the landslides.
00:33Witnesses are James Agustin.
00:39Almost a whole house was swept away by the strong winds of yesterday.
00:52Along with the strong winds and heavy rains, the typhoon Pepito hit.
00:58Ouch!
01:02The typhoon also hit the town of Dipakulao, where the second typhoon hit yesterday.
01:12Some places in Nueva Ecija were also cut off.
01:15The wind moved this ride in an area in Bungabut, as well as about ten in the surrounding area of Tinangay.
01:22The winds and rains in Cabanatuan City were felt until the night.
01:27Earlier this morning, some residents were still trying to escape because some places were submerged in the flood.
01:32The flood was fast. You just need to turn around and the water is already there.
01:37The residents' house was flooded.
01:39A wide-angle drone video was captured earlier this morning.
01:42Seventeen barangays were affected, including the barangay of Rizlalizat Isla.
01:48The water inside the house was overflowing. It's really hard, sir. It's a sacrifice.
01:54And because the flood reached its peak, some people used boats.
01:59This is the part of the river that is still submerged in the flood because of the overflowed ditch.
02:04The water level reached its peak here.
02:07But when you pass through here, especially the entrances to the houses, the water level is higher.
02:14Samira's mother was taken by rescuers through the window of her house.
02:18I can't do anything. I can't get out.
02:20From upstream, the volume of water will be saved for three to six hours so that the water level will go down.
02:29In Nueva Vizcaya, the wind blew some trees.
02:32Some animals were not saved.
02:35Because of the heavy rain, there was a landslide in the house of Ambagyo.
02:39Seven people were on their way home.
02:42According to the PDRMO, a family was on their way home. They were eight years old and a few minors.
02:47Because of the heavy rain, the land became saturated.
02:57A few days ago, there was a landslide in Canon Road.
03:00That's why the land and stones fell on the road.
03:05Yesterday, Canon Road was closed to motorists.
03:08That's why no one was injured in the landslide.
03:09There is a tunnel to prevent the rockfall.
03:18There is actually one.
03:20And another is ongoing in the lower portion.
03:26There was almost zero visibility in Baguio City because of the heavy rain.
03:31The authorities in Lagoon City Camp were on guard in the worst-case scenario.
03:36That's why the residents who live nearby were alerted.
03:39I'm nervous, ma'am.
03:41What did you pray for last night?
03:43Of course, the landslide will stop and we can go home.
03:48Yesterday, some tourist spots in Baguio were closed.
03:51But it was reopened today.
03:53Because of the heavy rain and the loss of water,
03:56a lot of houses were flooded in Isabela.
03:58Most of the houses that can be seen are in ruins.
04:00It's possible that the landslide is worse than that of Sierra Madre.
04:04It's helpful.
04:05And another factor in the landslide is that the moisture enhanced by the landslide
04:18will be reduced if we compare it while it's in the sea.
04:22According to the Office of Civil Defense,
04:24Black Hawk Helicopters flew to the Philippine Air Force
04:27to examine the location of the landslide and provide relief operations.
04:31For JEMAI Integrated News, I'm James Agustin, your witness.
04:36The landslide in Bicol Region, especially in Catanduanes,
04:40was also affected by the landslide.
04:42Some places there are having a hard time with the supply of electricity
04:45and the signal of communication.
04:47From Virac, Catanduanes, Saksi live.
04:50This is Joseph Moro.
04:52Joseph?
04:54Ma'am, there's still no electricity in many houses here in Virac, Catanduanes
04:57and the signal of telecommunications companies is very weak.
05:01But even though the landslide landfalled here,
05:05there are zero casualties according to the province
05:08because they had a pre-emptive evacuation.
05:17The wind is very strong.
05:20It's like there's no end to the rain.
05:24This is how the landslide and landslide of a super typhoon were shown.
05:36It was only early in the morning when it hit the sea in Camarines Sur
05:41where the waves are rising.
05:45The water level is rising.
05:48When the water level rose to the ceiling in Albay,
05:50residents were hurriedly evacuating their belongings and vehicles.
05:57They were also evacuating the boat that was anchored in the chapel.
06:05This fire truck was almost swept away by the big waves
06:09on the road in Virac.
06:15The landslide in Albay also caused landslides.
06:20While in Vinzons, Camarines Norte,
06:23several houses were destroyed and the houses were submerged in the water.
06:27In Dayt, Camarines Norte,
06:29the evacuees returned to a military camp after it was flooded.
06:35In Catanduanes, where the super typhoon first hit,
06:37the super typhoon did not calm down,
06:39even at night.
06:42The city of Panganiban, where the super typhoon first landfalled,
06:46was particularly affected.
06:47After the super typhoon,
06:49the city of Pinzala was flooded.
06:51Almost 500 houses were destroyed.
06:53The super typhoon and the landslides
06:55of the operations center in the town of Viga also caused landslides.
06:58Pinzala, churches, and several houses in the town were also flooded.
07:01Several roads were also flooded,
07:03which were also blocked by fallen trees.
07:06This police station in the town of Bagamanok is also being closed.
07:10The roofs of churches and covered courts were also covered in strong winds.
07:15Trees also fell on the road.
07:17Water also poured on this road.
07:20Pinzala was also left on the left and right in the town of Caramoran.
07:24This covered court was completely destroyed.
07:27In the town of San Andres,
07:29while the police were inspecting,
07:31a nurse helped the children inside their house.
07:35The mother was immediately taken to the hospital
07:38and they were in good condition.
07:40In the town of Igmoto,
07:42residents are cleaning the fallen trees following the typhoon.
07:45In the town of Birac,
07:47several evacuees have been evacuated,
07:49but some are still staying because no one can go home.
07:52Pinzala is a large and desolate town,
07:54but the residents are still coming together
07:57because no one is home on the island.
07:59According to the Capitol,
08:01the pre-emptive evacuation was helpful.
08:03The barangay officials, police,
08:06and the Coast Guard and other agencies
08:08are helping to evacuate 70,000 individuals.
08:11I would like to thank the DSWD,
08:14the US,
08:16the PAP,
08:19and of course, our President, BBM,
08:22for sending help
08:26so that we can have a safe home.
08:31But there are still many challenges
08:33regarding the return of power
08:35that will take a long time
08:37due to the many fallen trees and broken fences.
08:39In the town of Birac,
08:41it is possible to reach two weeks
08:42before the power will be restored
08:45and hospitals, airports, and capitol will be the first.
08:48The telecommunications companies have no signal,
08:51so the Department of Information and Communications Technology,
08:54or DICP, has free Wi-Fi and charging.
08:58While everyone is waiting to return to normal,
09:0145,000 family food packs have been added
09:04to the previous 10,000 family food packs
09:07that were pre-depositioned before the flood.
09:09Financial assistance is also being prepared
09:12for those affected,
09:14including DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian.
09:17We talked to the government
09:19to wait for the list from the provincial government
09:21so that the DSWD can prepare the cash assistance
09:24for the damaged houses.
09:27Parallel to that,
09:29we coordinated with DOLE and DSUD
09:33because the province has requests
09:35to mobilize for action
09:36because it is a livelihood for the people
09:38but at the same time,
09:40it can help them with the recovery effort.
09:42It can also help with the recovery
09:45of the Tobacco Force in Albay
09:47from where the residents of Catanduanes
09:50from Mainland Luzon will come.
09:52Here, my team reached
09:54the three-day-long stranded
09:57due to the Pepito Flood,
09:59just like those from Manila.
10:01That is why they are worried
10:03about those who were left in Catanduanes.
10:04Our life is ruined.
10:06Our livelihood is not okay anymore.
10:11Maybe it's a new kind of misfortune.
10:14Our kitchen was washed out.
10:18How?
10:20I don't know how.
10:28According to the provincial government,
10:31especially in the northern part of Catanduanes,
10:34the residents of Caramoran and Panganiban
10:36will receive food.
10:38Tomorrow, the GMA Capuso Foundation
10:41will arrive to provide assistance
10:43for the residents of Catanduanes.
10:45Pia?
10:47Joseph, you said in your report
10:49that there are a lot of houses in Panganiban
10:51and Catanduanes.
10:53Does this mean that most of those families
10:56are still staying in evacuation centers?
10:58And if so,
11:00will the DSWD provide enough cash assistance
11:03to help rebuild their homes?
11:10Those who are in evacuation centers,
11:13if you are in the province,
11:15and your house was not damaged,
11:17like here in Virac,
11:19they can go home right away.
11:21Those who are far away,
11:23in Caramoran and Panganiban,
11:25even if their houses were destroyed,
11:26they can still stay here.
11:28The DSWD arrived here
11:30with Secretary Rex Gatchalian
11:32and is preparing a list
11:34of affected residents
11:36for financial assistance.
11:38What we experienced, Pia,
11:40aside from financial assistance
11:42for the construction of their houses,
11:44for example in Batanes,
11:46they provided iron and wood.
11:48But I think here,
11:50we will know tomorrow
11:52what additional assistance
11:54the national government can provide.
11:56They can provide iron and wood
11:58for our fellow countrymen, Pia.
12:00Thank you very much, Joseph Moro.
12:03Congressmen have a total of
12:05Php 1,000,000 in cash
12:07to teach Mary Grace Piatos.
12:09That is the name printed on the receipt
12:11of the financial assistance
12:13from the Office of the Vice President
12:15in 2022.
12:17Witness, Jonathan Andal.
12:23This is one of the receipts
12:24printed by the OVP
12:26or Office of the Vice President
12:28in COA or Commission on Audit
12:30to explain
12:32how they spent
12:34Php 125,000,000
12:36in the last 11 days
12:38of the 2022 Confidential Funds.
12:40But the name printed on the receipt
12:42is hard to read by congressmen.
12:44The name would read,
12:46is it correct?
12:48Mary Grace Piatos?
12:50Piaty? Piaty?
12:52The way I read it is Piatos.
12:54Why?
12:56Since the tail is too low.
12:58The serious question
13:00of congressmen is
13:02is it a real person
13:04who signed the receipt?
13:06Now, do you think it's a real person?
13:08What's your opinion?
13:10It could be a person.
13:12But would you know
13:14that there is a restaurant
13:16named Mary Grace?
13:18Yes, Mr. Chair.
13:20And there is also a Piatos
13:22that is brown with potato chips?
13:24Yes, sir.
13:26The Piatos is a restaurant
13:28that serves Pabuya
13:30for Php 1,000,000
13:32in teaching of the person
13:34who signed it.
13:36Because what the office
13:38of the Vice President is saying
13:40is that Mary Grace Piatos is real.
13:42We don't believe that
13:44there is a real Mary Grace Piatos.
13:46She is the most important
13:48that we got.
13:50Without her,
13:52almost all of the people
13:54In the eyes of the judges, it is denoctured or denied, just like receipts with different names, but it seems that only one person wrote and signed it.
14:03VP Sara is saying that the acknowledgment receipts that were shown in the hearing were denied.
14:14These acknowledgment receipts came from the Commission on Audit.
14:20The Commission on Audit said that these were the acknowledgment receipts that were read by the Office of the Vice President.
14:29So how can you say that these are fake?
14:33We tried to listen to the comments of Vice President Sara Duterte, but she did not respond.
14:38The next hearing on the confidential funds of the OVP and DEPEDE will be held on Wednesday.
14:43I expect that some OVP officials will attend and I will wait to see if Mary Grace Fiatos will be there.
14:49For GMA Integrated News, Jonathan Andal is your witness.
14:55President Baumo Marcos promised to help those who were hit by the next typhoon in the country.
15:00At the same time, he acknowledged the sacrifice of the first responders.
15:04The witness is June Veneracion.
15:14The strong winds and rain accompanied the strong waves in the coastal areas of Polillo, Quezon.
15:21The storm surge or deluyong reached 5 feet and caused flooding in several areas.
15:32After the typhoon, the affected houses were flooded.
15:36Not only in Polillo, but also in Humaling Island.
15:41There were also partially damaged houses in the town of Buenavista.
15:44We only reported minor damage to the school.
15:48And then to the people, only partially and totally damaged houses because of light materials.
15:56So far, the infrastructure, roads, bridges, everything is okay.
16:03What we are waiting for are reports of damaged boats.
16:08More than 100,000 residents evacuated and returned to their homes.
16:12The prayer was heard.
16:15Every year, there's always this. We always evacuate.
16:19Every typhoon, we always go there.
16:20I hope this Christmas, there will be no more typhoons.
16:23Some fishermen also went out again to recover after a few days of no income.
16:28There are many who depend on our income to earn a living every day.
16:32That's where my mother and I live and my children are not with us.
16:35Even though more than 100,000 residents evacuated,
16:38none of them were affected, injured, or lost in the Typhoon Pipito.
16:44President Bongbong Marcos promised continuous assistance to those affected.
16:49Continuous assistance, even in isolated areas.
16:52Food and water supply is particular.
16:55Reconstruction and reconstruction of damaged typhoons will also begin.
17:02I hope that when Christmas comes,
17:06we Filipinos will remember our countrymen
17:12who are still suffering.
17:15And no matter what, I hope we will be able to share Christmas with them.
17:23They are suffering.
17:25The President also announced the sacrifice of first responders
17:29to the local governments that are facing the next typhoons.
17:34The same is the case with many fishermen.
17:37To all the workers, this is their sixth.
17:42I'm sure that they are exhausted.
17:45I am sure that they have done and they continue to do and work as hard as they can.
17:51We are thankful to them.
17:54For GMA Integrated News,
17:56I am Jun Veneracion, your witness.
17:59The Philippine Area of Responsibility is now outside the Typhoon Pipito
18:03which has an international name, Mani.
18:06It has no direct effect on the country.
18:08For now, according to the forecast,
18:10shear line, northeasterly surface wind flow, and easterlies are the ones that will affect the country.
18:16Localized thunderstorms are also expected.
18:19According to the DATOS of Metro Weather,
18:21tomorrow morning,
18:22light to moderate rains are possible in the Caraga and some parts of Davao region.
18:26It will rain almost all of Mindanao in the afternoon.
18:30Heavy rains in some parts of Zamboanga Peninsula, Barm, and Soxerget.
18:34It will also rain almost all of Visayas in the afternoon.
18:38It will also rain heavily in Luzon, particularly in the Mimaropa and Bicol region.
18:43In Metro Manila, the chance of rain is low, but it is still good for possible thunderstorms.
18:49The toll on SCTEX and Montilupa-Cavite Expressway will increase.
18:53And some Noche Buena items have become expensive.
18:57Watch out for Mark Salazar.
19:02Christmas is here.
19:04Let's budget for Noche Buena.
19:08That's why the Department of Trade and Industry, or DTI, has released a price guide.
19:13Like for jamon, queso de bola, fruit cocktail, all-purpose cream, pasta or spaghetti, macaroni, tomato sauce, and more.
19:22The bad news,
19:23of the more than 200 Noche Buena items on the market,
19:26half of them have a higher price compared to a year based on DTI monitoring.
19:34There's nothing I can do.
19:35Every Christmas, I expect that the price will really go up.
19:38Make do.
19:39Make do with what you can afford.
19:42That's how the items will be reduced, the amount of food will be reduced.
19:46But not all of them have gone up in price.
19:49You have no choice.
19:50All brands went up at the same time, right?
19:52You have a choice because there are brands that didn't go up.
19:55For example, for Christmas ham, 18 brands of class and weight of jamon went up in price.
20:01But it still has a price of P18 last year.
20:05Queso de bola, whatever class or weight, the price didn't change.
20:10The brands of spaghetti and macaroni also went down in price.
20:14The price guide is effective until the end of the year.
20:17Aside from Noche Buena,
20:20prepare your pocket money for tolls.
20:24Starting tomorrow,
20:25Subiclark-Tarlac-Expressway-Oesitex will implement the second high toll limit.
20:3264 centavos to almost 2 pesos per kilometer is added depending on the type of vehicle.
20:39On Wednesday, November 20,
20:41Montinlupa-Cavitexpressway or MCX will raise the toll.
20:47Those adjustments will be considered first by our government before it is allowed to collect new toll fees.
20:58Those adjustments will be used for the benefit of the motorist users by way of road service and proper operations and maintenance of our expressways.
21:14For GMA Integrated News, I'm Mark Salazar, your witness.
21:20The investigation of the Department of Justice against former President Rodrigo Duterte is now in progress.
21:26We will now discuss extrajudicial killings.
21:28Witness, Salima Refrang.
21:34I have killed a lot of policemen in Davao, criminals.
21:38I was the one who raped them.
21:42I will admit that my order is to kill drug manufacturers and big-time drug distributors.
21:58So you were planning this?
22:00That was part of the strategy as a mayor.
22:03Following his confession to the Quad Committee of the Camera and based on other information,
22:09Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Rimuya said that the Department of Justice has already started the investigation against former President Rodrigo Duterte
22:19and other extrajudicial killings.
22:22The head of the task force just spoke earlier. Very, very good progress.
22:27The scope of the investigation is wide ranging from the time Duterte was the mayor of Davao
22:32to the time he became president and carried out his bloody war against illegal drugs.
22:38Of course, you're talking about several laws that come into play.
22:43You have the revised penal code and other special laws.
22:47IHL, International Humanitarian Law, is what we're looking at right now
22:52because it is the law that the ICC is studying as well as the law that we have here.
23:00It's the law of the ICC actually. It's what they're using right now.
23:04The violations of RA 9851 or Philippine Act on Crimes Against International Humanitarian Law,
23:10Genocide and Crimes Against Humanity are what Duterte is fighting against.
23:15These are the crimes against humanity that the former president is facing in the International Criminal Court or ICC.
23:22Well, we want the charges to be separate from each other.
23:28What we charge here and what the ICC charges have to be, if possible, will not overlap.
23:34Even if we're not members of the ICC, the spirit of complementarity still applies.
23:44Duterte continues to get GMA Integrated News.
23:48According to his former presidential legal advisor, Attorney Salvador Panelo,
23:53why can't they just eat the case if there's evidence?
23:57We just cannot give you a day-to-day, blow-by-blow account.
24:01But we are evaluating everything very well.
24:04For GMA Integrated News, I'm Nima Refran. Your sex scene.
24:10Two hundred mongrels escaped from their enclosure in Lopburi, Thailand.
24:15They scattered around and some even reached the roof of the police station.
24:21The police were forced to barricade inside the station
24:25because they were afraid that the mongrels would break in and take their belongings.
24:29They were being caught little by little to return to the enclosure.
24:33Thousands of mongrels are living in Lopburi.
24:40On fire performance was delivered by the ultimate K-pop group, 2NE1,
24:44on the two nights of their Welcome Back Concert in the country.
24:48Philo Blackjacks also held a Let's Go Party at the sold-out concerts.
24:532NE1 is very happy with the energy shown by the fans.
24:58Park Bom, a member, did not finish the day-to-show due to a health-related issue.
25:03According to YG Entertainment,
25:06According to YG Entertainment,
25:08Bom was given medical attention but his condition did not improve.
25:12That's why he was not able to return to the stage.
25:14They asked for his permission and I'm sure he's getting better.
25:20It's a pleasure to introduce to Asian Heroes 2024
25:23some outstanding individuals for their contribution to society.
25:2740 personalities are known as modern-day heroes.
25:31One of them is Florencia Gozon-Tariela
25:34for her contribution in the field of banking and community development.
25:39Her son, Trisha Flor-Tariela Valderrama, received the award.
25:53For snacks or preparations,
25:55Filipino classics are served with Palabok.
25:57Once upon a time, it was the best noodle dish in the country
26:00in an online food and travel guide.
26:03Meet Niko Wahe.
26:08Hi guys!
26:09Let's go on a food trip to Quiapo
26:11and look for one of the longest-selling Palabok stalls.
26:18That's Robert and Cynthia's Palabok,
26:20a delicious Palabok from the 1940s.
26:24It can be found here in Quiapo, Manila, under the Quezon Bridge.
26:28The couple has been selling Palabok for four generations.
26:34I inherited this from my father's grandmother.
26:38My father's grandmother is his daughter.
26:41My grandmother is the only one.
26:43After her, my auntie is the fourth.
26:48What they sell here is their overloaded Palabok
26:52that costs only Php 100.
26:54The ingredients are catutak,
26:56crushed tinapa,
26:58crushed chicharon,
27:00squid,
27:01tofu,
27:02spring onion,
27:03egg,
27:04and the famous chicharon pella.
27:07And of course, what makes everything delicious is the sauce.
27:12For me, no matter how many ingredients of Palabok,
27:15if your sauce is not delicious, you will not come back.
27:18The sauce is what makes the Palabok delicious.
27:21That's what I inherited from my secret.
27:24What is the most important ingredient that makes it delicious?
27:26Secret.
27:28These friends even traveled from Novaliches for Cynthia's Palabok.
27:33We heard that it's delicious here.
27:35It's okay, it's delicious.
27:37The best.
27:38It's worth it.
27:40Rafael went first before going back to North Caloocan.
27:43It's delicious.
27:44I went back twice, sir.
27:46It's delicious.
27:47As in, it's overloaded.
27:49It's really overloaded.
27:51This one even has takeout.
27:54I can't explain it.
27:55As long as it's delicious.
27:57When you eat Palabok,
27:58you will choose two.
27:59One is thick or fat,
28:01and the other is thin.
28:03We're fans of being thin,
28:05so we'll try this one.
28:08We're on a diet right now, but it's delicious.
28:11It looks delicious.
28:12Let's taste it.
28:21It's so delicious.
28:22It's the best.
28:26If every Palabok in the country is this delicious,
28:29it's no wonder why it's considered as the best noodle dish in the Philippines by Taste Atlas.
28:36It's made with Pancit Malabon and Pancit Bihon.
28:40Here in Gapo,
28:41there's a lot of competition in the store of Ms. Cynthia.
28:44A lot of people are coming and eating here.
28:48This is a classic and authentic Filipino dish.
28:51Although it has a lot of ingredients,
28:53it becomes a delicious taste when it's combined.
28:57There are a lot of versions of it made by different restaurants.
29:00But even though the versions are different,
29:02what we can say is that
29:05there's not a lot of Palabok.
29:08It's really delicious.
