Transcript

00:00Live from the GMA Network Center, 20 years of news in 24 hours.

00:11Good evening, Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.

00:16It is possible that Vice President Sara Duterte will face a case of violation of the Anti-Terror Law,

00:24a law that was signed by former President Rodrigo Duterte.

00:29According to the NBI, which served as a subpoena,

00:32Vice President Duterte will be charged with violation of the Anti-Terror Law and grave threats.

00:36Next, we will hear from the President, First Lady and House Speaker.

00:41Vice President Duterte will face the NBI's arrest on Friday

00:44and will be called by his partner in the making of the video.

00:48We will be joined live by Joseph Moro.

00:52Joseph.

00:54Mel, Vicky, the subpoena is to give Vice President Duterte a chance to explain

01:01what he said about the assassination of the President, First Lady and House Speaker

01:06so that the NBI will know if there is a complaint that can be filed against him.

01:12Based on the subpoena filed by the NBI, can this be included in the Anti-Terror Law?

01:23The subpoena for Vice President Sara Duterte was included in the NBI's arrest.

01:28The NBI did not have the time to receive the subpoena, so it was received by her lawyer.

01:32The subpoena is to be presented to VP Sara at the National Bureau of Investigation on Friday.

01:36But if the NBI has a schedule to listen to the camera...

01:40The NBI can send an emissary or any messenger to reset the subpoena.

01:47Actually, do you still need him?

01:49I hope it's better if the Vice President himself will go.

01:53The NBI filed the subpoena based on what he said when he was assassinated.

01:57He already has someone to kill.

01:59President Bongbong Marcos, First Lady Liza Araneta Marcos, and House Speaker Martin Romualdez.

02:05This is the proof that we have a due process.

02:08We will give the Vice President a chance to give his side on the controversy.

02:16We have a lot of political...

02:20Don't get mad at me, it's a circus.

02:23We don't know each other.

02:24The National Bureau of Investigation is silent.

02:27But this is a serious matter.

02:30Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin and Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Rimulya

02:36said that Duterte violated the law.

02:40Based on the NBI's subpoena,

02:42Vice President Sara Duterte explained

02:46for the possible claim of grave threats and violation of the Anti-Terror Law,

02:51a law that was signed by his own father, former President Rodrigo Duterte,

02:55only in 2020.

02:57Usec Andres said,

03:01self-confessed mastermind.

03:04He said that he will kill the President.

03:10The President, the First Lady, and the Speaker need to be killed.

03:14Where did that come from?

03:17He is the mastermind.

03:20He is the one who gave the order.

03:22That is what we want to clarify.

03:25But if Santiago clarifies,

03:27it doesn't mean that this is the real claim of Duterte.

03:32The case of violation of the Anti-Terrorism Act

03:35under Republic Act 11479,

03:39anyone can be arrested by a law enforcement agent

03:43or military personnel without a warrant of arrest

03:46and detained for up to 14 days before being brought to court.

03:50This can be extended up to 10 days if necessary.

03:54The Anti-Money Laundering Council Authority can also open

03:57its assets and bank deposits and freeze them.

04:01It can also be targeted or surveilled by the court.

04:05We are not yet closing our investigation.

04:09That is where we will play.

04:11It depends on the evidence that we obtained

04:16and the evidence that Vice President Sara will present.

04:23So this will be a fair investigation, impartial.

04:30The NBI is now holding the video of Duterte's press conference.

04:34The NBI will also call the people involved in this

04:37such as the staff and those who came here.

04:40If Duterte will not be arrested,

04:42they will continue to file complaints to the Department of Justice.

04:46We will proceed.

04:48And whatever evidence we have, that's all.

04:54Duterte refused to speak

04:56because he has not yet received the punishment.

04:59Vicky, NBI Director Jimmy Santiago does not have a timetable.

05:03He does not know when the investigation of the NBI will end.

05:07And there is no schedule as to when it will be filed

05:10to the Department of Justice for another hearing,

05:13the so-called preliminary investigation.

05:15Vicky?

05:16Thank you very much, Joseph Moro.

05:19Vice President Sara Duterte resigned

05:22in favor of the so-called bankers

05:27in favor of the so-called bankers in the life of the President,

05:30the First Lady, and the House Speaker.

05:33Taken out of context.

05:35What is it?

05:36In view of the actions of the government

05:39in favor of the so-called bankers in her life.

05:43That is what is being broadcast live

05:45by Marisol Abduraman.

05:47Marisol?

05:51Mel, Vice President Sara Duterte again explained

05:54her statements against President Marcos.

05:57Aside from the fact that she did not use the word assassin,

06:01the so-called murder of President Bongbong Marcos

06:04will only happen if he is also killed.

06:11My question now to the administration

06:15is revenge from the grave a crime?

06:19They have to kill me first.

06:21So now they can't kill me anymore.

06:24Unless they want to die.

06:28That is the defense of Vice President Sara Duterte

06:31in her so-called statements

06:33about the plan to kill President Bongbong Marcos,

06:36First Lady Liza Marcos,

06:38and House Speaker Martin Romualdez.

06:40In view of the fact that she was taken out of context

06:43because she said that it will only happen if he is killed.

06:48Tossing the word assassin.

06:50Please check.

06:51Did I say assassin there?

06:54Nothing.

06:55So they put assassin in their narrative.

06:58And they put murder plot in their narrative.

07:02There is absolutely no flesh on the bone.

07:06And despite the absence of a reliable investigation,

07:10authorities were quick to consider this

07:14a national security concern.

07:18The question of VP Sara

07:20in the Presidential Security Command

07:22is why there is no action

07:24on the threats to her life

07:26that started when she was arrested in Gabinete.

07:30Why is the command eerily quiet

07:35on the documented threats to me,

07:37my family, and the OVP personnel?

07:42The Vice President did not comment first

07:44but she has a list of threats to her life.

07:47But there is no assassination plot.

07:50There is a threat for you to get killed by them.

07:55That is a possibility.

07:56You see what they're doing right now?

07:59That is an example.

08:01They are undermining my security.

08:04When asked if she plans to double her security,

08:07Do you also intend to double your security also like the PSC?

08:11I don't expect that, ma'am, in the PSC.

08:13And I won't accept it, ma'am, at this point.

08:17If they will add more people here

08:20because we don't know anymore

08:22if they will add non-partisan people.

08:26Not necessarily coming from PSC, ma'am.

08:28No, I don't trust anyone right now.

08:31The Vice President is busy asking

08:33to the NBI's office.

08:35She hasn't read this yet.

08:37She is asking for clarification

08:39regarding what she said to her online press con

08:41when she was ordered by the first wife.

08:44I'm waiting for that question to come up

08:46in the committee hearing.

08:49The Vice President was at the Veterans Memorial Medical Center

08:52to accompany her Chief of Staff,

08:54Atty. Zulayka López, who was confined.

08:58The Special Dispersing Officer of the OVP, Gina Acosta,

09:01was also there after the pressure

09:04from the camera last night increased.

09:06But by the afternoon,

09:08the Vice President left for a personal walk.

09:12Sir, sir, wait.

09:16On Friday, the Vice President is expected

09:18to visit the House Committee on Good Government and Accountability

09:21to continue the hearing.

09:24The Vice President reiterated

09:26that confidential funds should not be used in public.

09:30This could endanger some individuals.

09:33Mel.

09:35Thank you very much, Marisol Abdurrahman.

09:38Former President Rodrigo Duterte

09:41invested in the continued support of the military and police

09:44to President Bongbong Marcos

09:46while challenging them to protect the Constitution.

09:50Malacanang acknowledged this

09:52and called for a call for a coup d'etat.

09:56Salima Refrang was present.

10:02Military and police,

10:06would you still continue to support a drug addict?

10:13You already know,

10:14but just ask the Presidential Security Command.

10:18They're all military.

10:21You did not go far.

10:23Those are your people in the military.

10:26Until when

10:29will you support a drug addict President?

10:33That is the question of former President Rodrigo Duterte

10:36in the military, in the middle of a dispute

10:38between President Bongbong Marcos and the son of the former President,

10:41Vice President Sara Duterte.

10:44I'm challenged to the military itself.

10:47The whole of the military,

10:48because they are supposed to be protectors of the Constitution.

10:56Now tell me, if they are protectors of the Constitution,

11:00are they willing to still protect the President

11:05who is a drug addict for another four years?

11:10According to the former President,

11:11there is something wrong with the leadership of the country

11:13that the military is the only one who can intervene.

11:16There is a fracture

11:21in the government in our Philippines now.

11:27No one can correct that.

11:28Nobody can correct Marcos.

11:31Nobody can correct Romaldes.

11:34It is only the military who can correct it.

11:37If we don't go to war,

11:42just tell them

11:47that we don't want your game anymore.

11:50We're out.

11:53Because if there is no military,

11:55their game is over.

11:58The statements of the former President

12:00were echoed by Malacanang.

12:02Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin

12:04called for an urgent call

12:06for CUDETA to launch

12:08a strong military against President Marcos.

12:11There is no better motive

12:13for the President's request and request

12:16to lead his own son.

12:19Bersamin said,

12:20the State will move against

12:22all attacks and challenges against the law.

12:26It is unacceptable

12:27to fight for power

12:30so that the President can easily be overthrown

12:32through meddling,

12:34chaos,

12:35and uprisings.

12:36GMA Integrated News is working hard

12:38to get the attention of House Speaker Martin Romualdez.

12:41But his allies said,

12:43This is inciting sedition

12:45because they're calling on the AFP

12:46to take up arms against the government.

12:48This is another diversionary tactics

12:50to cover up the real issue

12:53that our Vice President is facing.

12:56We think that because of the heavy issues

12:59that our Vice President is facing,

13:03he needs the help of his father.

13:06The Justice Department said,

13:08The military has no role whatsoever.

13:11For him to invite the military

13:14to have a part in seeking remedy

13:17is bordering on sedition

13:20and is legally actionable.

13:23The words of former President Duterte

13:27will also be investigated

13:30along with what is happening

13:33at the moment.

13:35The Armed Forces of the Philippines

13:37is calling on politicians

13:39to not include forceful weapons

13:41in their statements.

13:42The AFP will remain true to the Constitution

13:45and to the official laws of the government.

13:48Our Armed Forces is united and professional.

13:52We shun away from being included.

13:54We want to be isolated from political issues

13:56and we request the Philippine public

13:59to have calm and resolve

14:01and trust in the Armed Forces of the Philippines.

14:04We will do our mandate accordingly.

14:06This is also the opinion of the PNP.

14:08With respect to our former President,

14:10I'm sure that what's happening right now

14:13will not be able to help such statements.

14:16And to our citizens,

14:18let's be discerning

14:21to what we see and hear

14:23in the news.

14:25For GMA Integrated News,

14:27I'm Nima Refrang.

14:28Tune in for 24 hours.

14:30The Supreme Court has received a complaint

14:33regarding the statement of Vice President Sara Duterte

14:35that it is insulting the words

14:37of former President Ferdinand Marcos.

14:39In addition,

14:40a dismarkment case has been filed

14:42against the vice-president

14:44because of his assault

14:46on a Davao City Sheriff in 2011.

14:48Chino Gaston is on the case.

14:54The Supreme Court has received a complaint

14:57against Vice President Sara Duterte

14:59this month

15:00regarding the statement of Vice President Sara Duterte

15:02in October

15:03about insulting the words

15:05of former President Ferdinand Marcos.

15:07If you don't stop,

15:09I will insult your father.

15:12I will throw him into the West Philippine Sea.

15:15The Supreme Court said

15:18it is anonymous

15:19or there is no name in the complaint.

15:21Just this month,

15:22the Supreme Court received

15:24an anonymous complaint

15:26regarding her statements

15:28about the late President Ferdinand Marcos.

15:33And how has the Supreme Court acted

15:36on that anonymous complaint?

15:37There is no action yet to the moment.

15:39According to the Supreme Court,

15:41a dismarkment case has been filed

15:43against Duterte.

15:44It was filed in 2011

15:46when VP Sara was still the Mayor of Davao.

15:49This is related to her assault

15:51on Davao City Sheriff Abbe Andres

15:53who is filing a demolition order

15:55against the informal settlers of the city.

15:58Let's go, sir.

16:05Why did you bring me here?

16:08I'm not very informed about

16:12what happened in the case

16:13but I know that there were a lot of

16:16pleadings and procedures that happened.

16:18So, about the disbarment case,

16:20it's really on a case-to-case basis.

16:22Andres did not file a complaint

16:24against Duterte.

16:25But he was reprimanded by the Ombudsman

16:28after the complaint was filed

16:30by the Sheriff's Confederation of the Philippines.

16:32Duterte also issued a public apology

16:34almost a year after the incident.

16:37But he has been personally apologizing

16:39to Andres for a long time.

16:41I will never publicly apologize

16:45so I would just like to apologize

16:47to Sheriff Andres

16:49and most importantly to his family.

16:52I know that they were hurt

16:56when they ran away.

16:59So, I'm sorry to them.

17:01It will not happen again

17:03and it was an unfortunate incident.

17:08Under the rules of court,

17:10aside from filing a disbarment complaint

17:12to the Supreme Court

17:15or to the Integrated Bar of the Philippines,

17:17the Supreme Court can also

17:19investigate the actions

17:21of a lawyer.

17:24So, the Supreme Court also asked

17:26if it will take action

17:28on the new statements

17:30issued by VP Sara to President Marcos.

17:32It's always possible that the Supreme Court

17:34can take cognizance of anything

17:36that's publicly known.

17:38But usually, it's usually by a complaint.

17:41So, we'll wait and see what the court has

17:43or what the court will do.

18:13Mayor Alice Goh was called

18:15as an Agent of Influence

18:17by the National Intelligence Coordinating Agency.

18:20And Ma'am Gonzales was there.

18:25After 16 hearings on Pugos,

18:28Alice Goh was not able to attend

18:30the Senate's investigation.

18:33The court also heard the case

18:35of Qualified Trafficking against her.

18:37The Committee on Women and Children

18:39repeatedly mentioned the possibility

18:42According to the National Intelligence Coordinating Agency

18:45or NICA, it hasn't been confirmed yet.

18:47But Goh is an Agent of Influence.

19:12NICA also monitored Chinese hackers

19:15known as APT

19:17or Advanced Persistent Threat Groups.

19:19These are hackers that can be sponsored

19:21or backed up by the government

19:23of a country or criminal groups.

19:42We have monitored some of them, Madam Chair,

19:45and again, in an executive session.

19:47If required, we can share some information.

19:51Senator Riza Monteveros,

19:53Chairman of the Committee,

19:55who is involved in Chinese intelligence activities

19:57in the country,

19:59was joined by the former Presidential Economic Advisor,

20:01Michael Yang.

20:02Michael Yang is a key actor

20:04in Chinese intelligence operations here.

20:07Michael Yang, who is involved in Farmally

20:10and, if the reports are accurate,

20:12in drug operations here.

20:15Michael Yang,

20:16the former President's Economic Advisor.

20:19We have already been tested,

20:21and they were even tested.

20:24According to Pagcor,

20:25they have no record that Yang has a Pugo license.

20:27There were reports that he has several companies, Madam.

20:30But the problem for us during the investigation

20:34is that most of these personalities,

20:36they have their own affronts.

20:40They have their own

20:43Securities and Exchange Commission documents.

20:46That's why you can't attribute to them directly.

20:50But Senator Riza Monteveros

20:52took Yang's picture

20:53with the self-confessed Chinese spy,

20:55Xie Zhijiang.

20:56Yang's lawyer's return

20:58is not a proof,

20:59and it is not fair

21:00to form a conclusion

21:01just because the two people

21:03are in the picture.

21:04Before, Xie said that

21:06Alice Goh is also a Chinese spy.

21:08In 2011, Xie entered the Philippines first.

21:10He was convicted in 2014

21:12for the operation of an illegal casino.

21:14But it seems that Xie's record

21:16has no doubt.

21:17Xie also obtained a visa to the Philippines

21:19in 2017.

21:21It looks to me that someone powerful

21:24made these derogatory facts

21:26about Xie Zhijiang disappear.

21:28And just as a note,

21:30this is usually done for intelligence agents.

21:33Xie also obtained a Pugo license.

21:37He was one of the biggest before.

21:40Xie?

21:41Yes.

21:42According to Xie's former cellmate,

21:44there are many spies

21:45and not all of them are Chinese.

21:48They are not only targeting Chinese,

21:51but they are also targeting

21:53some Filipinos

21:56or other members

21:58in the government.

22:00So it has a lot of...

22:02It is wide and it's complicated.

22:04There are Filipinos

22:06working against the interests

22:07of the Philippines.

22:10Yes, that is correct.

22:12Based on the information

22:13that is provided by Mr. Xie.

22:16But of course, we have to confirm.

22:18For GMA Integrated News,

22:20Ma'am Gonzales,

22:21for 24 Hours.

22:24Vice President Sara Duterte

22:25will be accused

22:28of complaints of plunder

22:30or technical malversation

22:32in the use of his confidential funds.

22:36According to some lawyers,

22:38it can be said that the people of Vice

22:40are just obeying the orders

22:43of their boss,

22:44who is in charge of distributing the funds.

22:47Jonathan Andal has a point.

22:53Gina Acosta was rushed to the hospital last night

22:56by the Special Disbursement Officer

22:58of the Office of the Vice President.

23:00In the middle of her questioning

23:02by members of the House Good Government

23:04and Public Accountability Committee

23:05that is investigating the confidential funds

23:07of Vice President Sara Duterte.

23:09I am asking, Ma'am,

23:11why are you asking?

23:13Because I really don't know

23:16who Kukoy Bilyamin is,

23:20who Grace Piatos is.

23:24Because Sir La Chica is on the ground.

23:28She is the one who is performing.

23:31I just went to the office

23:33and she told me

23:35that the announcement was received, Ma'am.

23:38But Ma'am, that is your job

23:41as a Special Disbursement Officer.

23:44Yes, Ma'am.

23:45But my boss has an order, Ma'am,

23:48to release Sir La Chica, Ma'am.

23:51Vice President Duterte

23:53ordered him to give

23:55P125 million pesos

23:57to a Colonel La Chica,

23:59a member of the VPSPG

24:01or Vice Presidential Security and Protection Group.

24:03But congressmen are wondering

24:05why a Colonel will be given

24:07confidential funds.

24:09Because Ma'am Inday Sara has an order

24:12to release him.

24:14Because he is the one who knows

24:16how to implement

24:18programs and activities

24:21in line with confidential funds.

24:24He is the one who will survey,

24:26surveillance and monitoring

24:29and I have nothing to do with him.

24:31On the death edge,

24:32the former disbursement officer,

24:34Edward Fajarda,

24:35admitted that he is giving confidential funds

24:37to another Colonel, Dennis Nolasco.

24:39But congressmen said

24:41that it is not right that the disbursing officer

24:44is not giving confidential funds

24:46to the person who should be giving it.

24:48In the end,

24:49it is a command responsibility.

24:52And we can see that

24:54all of them are just following

24:57the orders of our Vice President.

25:01So in the end,

25:03if there are violations of the law,

25:06if there is a need for an answer,

25:11our Vice President should accept

25:15the answer here in the Assembly.

25:18That could be malversation proper

25:20or worse, plunder.

25:23Because it is more than P50 million.

25:25If you use the budget for others,

25:27no matter how lawful it is,

25:30that is technical malversation.

25:32Fajarda's wife,

25:34Atty. Sunshine Fajarda,

25:35former DepEd Assistant Secretary,

25:37did not respond to the allegations

25:39that she was given an envelope

25:41containing money

25:42from some DepEd officials.

25:44Just like the allegation

25:45of the former DepEd Undersecretary,

25:47Gloria Mercado,

25:48who received an envelope

25:49with P50,000 each month.

25:52Is it true that you gave them an envelope?

25:56There were actually some crimes

25:58that were mentioned.

25:59And as such,

26:00if I'm going to answer those allegations,

26:02Mr. Chair,

26:03respectfully,

26:04I would want to answer them

26:05in a proper forum

26:06wherein I will be able to present my defenses

26:08based on the completeness

26:09of the said allegations, Mr. Chair.

26:11Another confession of Mr. Fajarda,

26:13he was sending money

26:15to bank accounts

26:16of some DepEd superintendents

26:18under the orders of Vice President Duterte.

26:21Mary Grace Piatos was also mentioned

26:23in some acknowledgement receipts

26:25for confidential funds.

26:27But congressmen doubted

26:29if it was a real person.

26:30There is a Piatos

26:33with a nickname.

26:35Do you know Mary Grace Piatos?

26:39Do you know Mary Grace Piatos?

26:41No, I don't.

26:42I don't know her, ma'am.

26:45But you said you were allowed

26:47because there is a Piatos with a nickname.

26:49Where did you see a Piatos with a nickname?

26:51We have one in Davao, ma'am.

26:54Four OVP staff were allowed to go home

26:55or were given a furlough

26:57even if they have a contempt order.

26:59They were promised to be brought

27:01for the next hearing.

27:02VP Sara has two staff

27:04in the hospital now,

27:05Gina Acosta

27:06and Atty. Zulaica Lopez.

27:08Congressmen said

27:09they still expect

27:10that the two will be brought

27:11for the next hearing on Friday

27:13to be the vice president.

27:15For GMA Integrated News,

27:17I'm Jonathan Andal.

27:1924 Hours.

27:21Some congressmen are asking

27:23for a return

27:25to the executive order

27:27on lowering the price of rice.

27:29They said that it's wrong

27:31to lower the price of rice

27:33and that only the importer

27:35is benefiting.

27:37I'm Maki Pulido.

27:42To make the price of rice cheaper,

27:44the rice importers

27:46will lower the price of rice.

27:47Under Executive Order of President Marcos,

27:49from a 35% rice tariff,

27:51it will be lowered to 15%.

27:53That's why the question

27:55was asked to the 5th Committee

27:57to investigate the price of food.

27:59Why are you only lowering

28:01the price of rice by a few cents

28:03even if the tariff has fallen

28:05and the price of rice

28:06in the world market is also decreasing?

28:07Why, Mr. Chair?

28:09According to the PSA,

28:11the price of rice was lowered

28:13by 0.44 cents only.

28:16It's like

28:18we're being played

28:20by hands that can't see.

28:22The average price of rice

28:24in the market is now 55 pesos per kilo.

28:26If true, the price of rice

28:28is expected to be lowered

28:30by 0.7 to 0.10 pesos.

28:32That's why every kilo of rice

28:34is now playing at 41 to 44 pesos.

28:36Depending on where the rice is imported,

28:38its landed price is only

28:40at 38 to 40 pesos

28:42according to the Bureau of Customs.

28:44It also shows that there is no shortage

28:46of increasing the price of rice.

28:48The volume of rice being imported

28:50has also increased.

28:52But the Department of Agriculture

28:54admitted that it doesn't force

28:56importers to sell the rice

28:58even if it can help lower the price.

29:00Don't you see that as hoarding?

29:02Holding back the 80,000?

29:05Just an example.

29:07With regards to hoarding,

29:08I cannot comment.

29:10But we are explaining to them

29:13about their utilization.

29:15In the first hearing of the Quinta Committee,

29:17it has not yet been concluded

29:19why the price of rice

29:21is still high.

29:23But one of the arguments

29:25is to repeal the Executive Order

29:27to lower the tariff of imported rice.

29:29It should be reviewed and reversed

29:31because it seems useless

29:33to lower the tariff.

29:35Who benefits from tariff reduction?

29:38Is it the importer?

29:40Or is it the consumer?

29:42It's likely that it's the importers.

29:44For GMA Integrated News,

29:46Macky Pulido reporting for 24 Hours.

29:52Dear listeners,

29:53even if there is no storm or bad weather,

29:55there are still things

29:57that the country should be prepared for.

29:59Like in Menterao,

30:01affected by the Intertropical Convergence Zone

30:03or ITCZ.

30:04The ITCZ is formed by

30:06thick clouds from the collision

30:08of the wind

30:11from the north and south of the world.

30:14Northeast Monsuno is also affected

30:16by the cold wind

30:18in the whole Northern Luzon.

30:20Based on the data of Metro Weather,

30:22there is a high chance of rain

30:24in Apayao, Cagayan, and Pabuyan Islands.

30:26It's also possible for heavy rain

30:28in Southern Luzon along with Bicol Region.

30:30There will also be rain in Visayas

30:32while the continuous rain

30:34will continue in Menterao.

30:36Residents should be alert

30:38because there is a high risk of landslide.

30:40They say there is a chance of rain

30:42but they will still monitor

30:44in case of thunderstorms.

30:47Supporters of former President

30:49Rodrigo Duterte

30:51gathered in Edsa Shrine.

30:53They are eager to celebrate

30:55because of the bad things

30:57that are happening in the country.

30:59And this is what Rafi Duterte

31:01is reporting live.

31:07Vicky, there are still people

31:10in Edsa Shrine.

31:12Some of them have been here

31:14since this morning.

31:16According to the police

31:18here in Edsa Shrine,

31:20there are more people

31:22because some are inside the church

31:24to attend the mass in Edsa Shrine.

31:26Supporters are not allowed

31:28to stay in front of Edsa Shrine

31:30in Edsa Region

31:32so they won't get involved

31:34in the traffic.

31:36They are only allowed

31:38to watch the live stream

31:40of what is happening here.

31:42The police contingent is just waiting

31:44in front of the shrine

31:46and under the Edsa Ortigas flyover.

31:48They are not allowed to say

31:50what their plans are

31:52and if they will be allowed

31:54to stay here until later.

31:56But there is talk of a possible

31:58dispersal of the police

32:00at 7 a.m. earlier.

32:02According to one of their volunteer leaders,

32:04Eric Celis, Secretary General

32:07of the Philippine Armed Forces,

32:09this is what he had to say.

32:11The aim of this is to have a day

32:13of proclamation

32:15that the people will have to speak up

32:17and stand up

32:19because what is happening

32:21in our country is not good anymore.

32:23We are calling on the military forces,

32:25AFP and PNP, the security sector,

32:27to recognize the right of the people

32:29to peaceful gathering

32:31and joint action

32:33as guaranteed by the Constitution.

32:37The head of Edsa Shrine

32:39says there is no problem

32:41with the support of former President

32:43Rodrigo Duterte here as long as

32:45they are not affected by the operation

32:47of the shrine.

32:49The PNP has already announced

32:51that they will disperse the people

32:53who are gathering here.

32:55A firetruck has just arrived

32:57earlier, Vicky,

32:59because the abyss of those who are

33:01rallying here will have a candle

33:03lighting ceremony.

33:05The supporters of the former President

33:07can still go overnight.

33:09That is the latest from Edsa Shrine.

33:11Vicky?

33:13Thank you very much, Rafi Tima.

33:15History is repeating itself

33:17after the death of

33:19Vice President Sara Duterte

33:21to Benigno Ninoy Aquino

33:23and he blamed it

33:25on the Marcos.

33:27Today is the day

33:29of the former Senator.

33:31His family has a call

33:34to the people to stand up

33:36to any threat of violence

33:38or violence.

33:40Sandra Aguinaldo is on the line.

33:46The violent violence

33:48of the former Senator Ninoy Aquino

33:53has returned to the minds

33:55of the public

33:57after the death

33:59of Vice President Sara Duterte

34:01to the gang of President Bongbong Marcos.

34:03The entire town was shocked

34:05when their family killed

34:07Benigno Aquino Jr.

34:09VP Sara directly accused

34:11the Marcos family

34:13that they were behind

34:15the killing of Ninoy.

34:17Her testimony is a history

34:19of the Marcos family's ability

34:21so she is in charge

34:23of their security.

34:25Remember, they are known

34:27for political persecution.

34:29They suppress and oppress

34:32the opposition.

34:36And then somebody

34:38was assassinated

34:40on the airport tarmac.

34:42August 21, 1983,

34:44after three years of exile

34:46in America,

34:48Ninoy returned home.

34:50He was the leader of the opposition

34:52and the main critic

34:54of former President Ferdinand Marcos Sr.

34:56But when the plane landed,

34:58he was shot

35:00and killed

35:02on the tarmac of

35:04Nooy Manila International Airport.

35:06Marcos Sr. quickly denied

35:08his allegation

35:10of killing Ninoy.

35:12After more than 100 sessions

35:14and listening to almost 200 witnesses,

35:16the Agrava Fact-Finding Board

35:18investigated

35:20that there was a military conspiracy.

35:22It was said that Nooy AFP Chief

35:24Favian Ver,

35:27a cousin of Marcos Sr.,

35:29Brigadier General Luther Custodio,

35:31and Major General Prospero Olivas,

35:33and others.

35:35They were convicted in Sandigang Bayan

35:37but were acquitted in 1985.

35:39But after the Edsa People Power Revolution

35:41in 1986,

35:43the Supreme Court allowed

35:45the case to be heard again

35:47because it was said that the hearing

35:49was just for fun.

35:51In 1990, after the second trial,

35:5316 military men

35:55were sentenced to life imprisonment

35:57along with General Custodio.

35:59Ver, along with Marcos Sr.,

36:01was out of the country

36:03and died in 1998.

36:05But the real mastermind

36:07is still unknown.

36:09Even though the widow of Ninoy,

36:11Corrie,

36:13and their son, Sinoynoy,

36:15was the president,

36:17we asked President Marcos

36:19for his reaction to the allegation

36:21of Vice President Duterte.

36:24Marcos Sr. was the one

36:26who killed Ninoy

36:28because his father didn't do it.

36:30He also said that there were

36:32two Aquinos who became presidents

36:34but this accusation was not proven.

36:36In the statement of the Aquino family

36:38to the former Senator Bukas,

36:40they said that Ninoy

36:42was the one who experienced

36:44the most severe torture

36:46from the Marcos.

36:48They should be punished

36:50for the thousands of times

36:52but Ninoy believed

36:54in a peaceful relationship

36:56and the Aquino family said

36:58that they would stop

37:00any kind of violence

37:02or violence

37:04while calling for the Philippines

37:06to pray.

37:08For GMA Integrated News,

37:10Sandra Aguinaldo, 24 Hours.

37:13The Philippines and the United Arab Emirates

37:15are encouraging

37:17economic and trade cooperation.

37:19The official visit of President Bongbong Marcos

37:21to the President of the UAE

37:23where they discussed

37:25the establishment of bilateral ties

37:27and other benefits

37:29to their constituents.

37:31The President also thanked

37:33the UAE leader for his help

37:35in the training of the Philippine National Police,

37:37pardoning more than 100 Filipinos

37:39when Edil Ada passed away,

37:41and humanitarian aid

37:43to victims of calamity in the Philippines.

37:45Almost 700,000 of our countrymen

37:47are in the UAE.

37:49The Energy Regulatory Commission

37:51or ERC

37:53sued the National Grid Corporation

37:55of the Philippines or NGCP

37:57for violating

37:59the 27 Transmission Infrastructure Projects

38:01in the country.

38:03In the 105-page decision

38:05of the ERC released today,

38:07it is stated that

38:09the NGCP did not comply

38:11with the violation

38:13of the implementation of the projects

38:15and because of that,

38:18the NGCP received

38:2012.3 million pesos

38:22within 15 days

38:24after the decision was made.

38:26According to the ERC,

38:28it is important that the projects are not suspended

38:30because it has a great effect

38:32on the transmission system

38:34and cost of electricity

38:36paid by the consumers.

38:38We are listening to the statement

38:40of the NGCP regarding this.

38:42Christmas lights

38:44Light up the colorful

38:46and beautiful Christmas lights

38:48of some provinces

38:50that have their own traditions.

38:52This Christmas,

38:54in Davao del Norte,

38:56there is a Christmas tree

38:58with more than 200 steps.

39:00This is what Sandra Aguinaldo is talking about.

39:06This is how beautiful

39:08Tagom City Hall Ground in Davao del Norte

39:11lights up the giant

39:13holiday tree there.

39:15But it is not just a Christmas tree

39:17because there is a spectacular

39:19height of 202 feet.

39:21It is lit up by thousands

39:23of colorful lights

39:25and different faces of animals.

39:27The base layer reached

39:29more than two months

39:31of design

39:33and construction.

39:35It is very beautiful.

39:37For me, it's a symbol

39:39of joy wherein

39:41we can express

39:43what we feel because it's Christmas

39:45and we get to be together.

39:48More than 500 students

39:50are wearing

39:52angel costumes

39:54in their singing

39:56of the angel singing rendition.

40:01Feels like a dream?

40:03Take a look at Tanawan City, Batangas.

40:05The tunnel of lights

40:08will enter Mabili Plaza.

40:10It is lit up by 45

40:12Christmas trees.

40:14But it is not just IG-worthy

40:16because there are mini

40:18Christmas trees,

40:20firecrackers, and reindeers around.

40:22Children and adults

40:24can also enjoy

40:26because there is also

40:28a carnival ride.

40:33In Bayongbong, Nueva Vizcaya,

40:35there is a village tree

40:37that attracts visitors.

40:39Every corner of the Christmas village

40:41is a good selfie spot

40:43because it is full of Christmas decorations

40:45and LED lights.

40:47You can also partner

40:49with a cool breeze.

40:51You will be amazed

40:53at how cool it is.

41:28of Abot Kamay na Pangarap

41:30for more than two years,

41:32and leaving behind the scenes

41:34that were discussed,

41:36Jill Inward had the opportunity

41:38to have a me time.

41:40I dyed my hair,

41:42and I'm a bit busy

41:44with other things,

41:46like I'm doing a dance class,

41:48I'm doing a firing again,

41:50those things.

41:52Did you have time for that?

41:54Yes, I enjoyed it for a short time.

41:56After a short vacation,

41:59Jillian is ready again

42:01to make her fans fall in love

42:03with her new series.

42:05It's her first time

42:07doing a rom-com

42:09or romantic comedy.

42:11As a child star,

42:13my roles growing up

42:15were more on drama,

42:17family drama,

42:19and there were no

42:21romance in the story.

42:23It just started

42:25with Abot Kamay.

42:27Do you have feelings?

42:29Yes, I do.

42:31She is one

42:33of Doc Annalyn's

42:35lovers.

42:37My character here

42:39is Michael Sager.

42:41I worked with him

42:43in Abot Kamay na Pangarap.

42:45It helped a bit

42:47because I worked with him

42:49so it was more comfortable.

42:51But Uncle Nelson,

42:53I'm still nervous

42:56because I'm not used

42:58to exciting scenes.

43:00Before she goes back

43:02to making the series,

43:04Jillian is finishing

43:06a movie project.

43:08It's her first time

43:10playing a role

43:12that will surprise her fans.

43:14Of all the characters

43:16I've played,

43:18this is the most challenging.

43:20Super...

43:22In what way is it challenging?

43:24It's physical,

43:26but it's also mentally challenging.

43:28You haven't done it yet?

43:30Hmm...

43:32This intense?
