00:00Arrested in Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu, is a man using children in the making of a malicious video.
00:07The victims, including a pregnant woman, have been charged by the suspect.
00:12Femarie Dumabok of GMA Regional TV reported.
00:19The 33-year-old man in Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu, has nothing to do with the joined forces of the NBI and US Homeland Security.
00:30According to US Homeland Security, the suspect is behind the cyber-pornography
00:35in which the children are the victims of the malicious video.
00:39His nieces and nephews were also involved in the video.
00:44The three cousins were also rescued by the authorities.
00:47Eight-year-old pregnant woman and a one-month-old infant.
00:52They were temporarily in the care of social workers.
00:56Different sex toys were also retrieved from the suspect,
00:59as well as three mobile phones that are likely to be used to sell the children's videos.
01:04The suspect has been operating for more than a year.
01:07The authorities did not ignore the fact that the parents are aware of what the suspect is doing to their children.
01:14Our children are not merchandise, whether online or offline. Let us protect our children.
01:19Second key point is that it takes a village to take care of our children.
01:25So the community must get involved to stop this kind of criminality, this type of savagery.
01:31The suspect can deny the allegation against him.
01:35For Jaimee Regional TV and Jaimee Integrated News, Femarie Dumabuk, Nakatutok 24 Hours.
01:44After filing an impeachment complaint yesterday,
01:48another impeachment complaint was filed against Vice President Sara Duterte Bukas
01:54according to Makabayan Block.
01:56Allegation of corruption and misuse of confidential funds is also the basis of this complaint.
02:02In the first complaint, 24 articles of impeachment were filed.
02:09Nakatotok's Jonathan Andal.
02:14In the filed impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara Duterte,
02:1824 articles of impeachment were included in 4 grounds for impeachment.
02:23Under the Culpable Violation of the Constitution and or Graft and Corruption,
02:28it was found that the spending of P125 million pesos of confidential and intel funds in 2022
02:36and P650 million pesos of confidential and intel funds of the OVP and Education Department in 2023
02:45and the spending of P2,735,000,000 pesos of confidential and intel funds in its 3 terms as Davao Mayor.
02:55In the second grounds for impeachment, the bribery and or culpable violation of the Constitution,
03:01the allegations of those who are complaining that the Vice President has ill-gotten wealth
03:06and is also involved in the money laundering of more than P111 million pesos
03:11that was deposited in his personal accounts.
03:13The complainants also accused the Vice President and his family of stealing and receiving P100 million pesos
03:20from well-known personalities in illegal drugs.
03:23The third grounds for impeachment is the betrayal of public trust.
03:27This includes the abandonment of the Vice President to the people
03:31in the aftermath of the Super Typhoon Karina and the flight to Germany.
03:36It is also the non-condemnation of the Vice where they are a foreign aggressor who bullies soldiers
03:41and Filipino fishermen in the West Philippine Sea.
03:44The last and fourth grounds for impeachment are other high crimes or serious crimes.
03:49This includes the direct involvement of the Vice in the extrajudicial killings of the DDS or Davao Death Squad in Davao City
03:57when he was the Mayor there.
03:59It is also the abuse and defense of Pastor Apollo Q. Buloy who is facing child abuse and sex trafficking.
04:06It also includes the allegation of the Vice President that he will eat the corpse of former President Ferdinand Marcos Sr.
04:12and will throw it in the West Philippine Sea.
04:14It also includes the statement that he thought that the President was a pig.
04:17It was revealed that the Vice does not have mental fitness to hold a high position.
04:23The last and heavy crime is the confession of VP Sara that she was contracted to kill the President,
04:29First Lady, and the House Speaker if she was killed.
04:32After the complaint was released to the Office of the House Secretary General,
04:36according to the House Rules and Constitution,
04:38it will be thrown in the Office of the Speaker which has up to 10 session days to include in the plenary debate.
04:45Up to 3 session days to be thrown in the Justice Committee
04:49He will hold a hearing for impeachment and within 60 session days,
04:53he should pass the recommendation in the plenary.
04:56Every Sunday, the session is only for 3 days.
04:58When it comes to the plenary, the vote is already there.
05:01The vote must not be less than 1 third of the chamber or 103 votes.
05:05For it to pass here in the Senate where the Impeachment Court will be established
05:09where 2 thirds or 16 votes of Senators are needed for the Official to be impeached.
05:15The question is, in the many processes that will pass, will it reach before the 19th Congress in June?
05:21You will remember the Corona case, Justice Corona.
05:24That took approximately around 4 months and a half.
05:28So the question is, what is our break? December 21.
05:33Will it be thrown in the Justice Committee?
05:37If we start by January, then we will take a break by February.
05:43We will resume the election year around May.
05:47When will it happen? It's hard to say.
05:49I think because it's still December 18, the last day of the session of the House of Representatives,
05:54I am optimistic that there will be enough time before the campaign period.
06:05Because the session of Congress will resume by January 13.
06:12After the holiday break.
06:14Aside from the Impeachment Complaint, Makabayan Blok said,
06:18they will endorse a new Impeachment Complaint tomorrow,
06:22which will invite 50 members from various organizations.
06:26For GMA Integrated News, Jonathan Andal.
06:2924 Hours.
06:31After questioning the funds for the construction of Junio,
06:36the target is to finalize the plan of the new Senate building by the start of January 2025.
06:43When will it be finished?
06:47That's what Ma'am Gonzalez is talking about.
06:53In January, one of the plans for the new Senate building is expected to be finalized.
06:57According to the Senate Committee on Accounts Chairman, Senator Alan Peter Cayetano.
07:01Latest January, we expect DPWH to finalize and then to bid.
07:05I promise to be transparent to the Senate.
07:07That's why I didn't blow by blow.
07:10Because I counter blow by blow that is not factual.
07:14It's like someone is fighting.
07:16Now that we got the figures of how much is everything,
07:20we're fixing that and then the value.
07:24But we're targeting the first quarter of 2027 to be finished.
07:29Last June, Senate President Cheese Escudero reviewed the new Senate building
07:34because he was surprised by the sudden increase in its construction value,
07:38which reached more than 23 billion pesos.
07:41Cayetano is angry. He doesn't blame them.
07:44I will submit a comprehensive report.
07:47But basically the report is for the future.
07:50Because sadly, it's coming out as the most expensive building in the Philippines.
07:55Even more expensive than a five, six-star hotel.
07:58But at this point, we're not blaming any single circumstance or person per se.
08:03So it's mixed.
08:04My role now is not to expose.
08:06So I will not hide anything.
08:08But my role is to fix the plan, fix it, get the Senators to approve,
08:12get the Department to finish and put it up.
08:15There was a call to review the design plans and budget.
08:18Public Works Secretary Manny Bonoal also wrote to the Senate
08:22that if all the bidding procurement is done,
08:24the building can be completed within two years instead of four years as estimated by DPWH.
08:30Cayetano assured that the new Senate building is still of good quality
08:34even if their target is the lowest cost.
08:37For GMA Integrated News, Mav Gonzales, Nakatutok, 24 Hours.
08:43A stopover was held here in the Philippines
08:45that's why the Australian national, the leading woman of a criminal group,
08:50was arrested and faces more than 50 cases.
08:53Nakatutok's John Consulta, Exclusive.
08:59The 32-year-old Australian, Rodrigo Elise, is guarded and handcuffed.
09:05Elise is considered one of the wanted personalities in Australia
09:09and was also led by a group of health angels in Australia.
09:12Elise was first arrested in Thailand where she was imprisoned for a year
09:16for using pegging travel documents.
09:19In her stopover in the Philippines, before she arrived in Australia,
09:22she got stuck and flew to Turkey.
09:24And in the end, she entered our country.
09:27This person has a history of violence.
09:32She didn't want to travel back to Australia.
09:35So we had to use her chain and handcuff
09:40for her to be able to travel back to Australia.
09:43We are stopping her because if she causes commotion before the flight,
09:48she might not be allowed to fly.
09:51According to the BI Fugitive Search Unit,
09:53the Australian has Interpol Red Notice
09:55and is facing 55 cases related to drugs and illegal firearms.
10:01The cases she is facing are drugs and gun smuggling.
10:06Reports also say that she is the leader of a notorious group in Australia
10:14that they call health angels.
10:16We have placed her in a blacklist order.
10:18And if she happens to come back here,
10:21or if she is free there and happens to come back here,
10:24we will not allow her to enter the country.
10:27The suspect was immediately deported to Australia.
10:31For GMA Integrated News, John Consulta.
10:35It's been 24 hours.
10:37Aside from the issue of spending confidential funds in 2022
10:42of the Office of the Vice President,
10:45the Commission on Audit released an annual audit report
10:48that tripled the value of the confidential funds spent by the OVP
10:54last year.
10:56Sandra Aguinaldo was involved.
10:59If in 2022, the Commission on Audit
11:02prioritized the spending of the Office of the Vice President
11:05of its confidential fund,
11:07the annual audit report of the COA for 2023
11:11tripled the value the next year.
11:14If compared,
11:15Vice President Sara Duterte spent
11:18P125 million in confidential funds
11:22in just 11 days of 2022.
11:25In just 11 days of 2022.
11:28The next year,
11:29it tripled to P375 million for the whole year of 2023.
11:35According to the COA report,
11:37the confidential expenses are for the safe implementation
11:40of various projects and activities
11:43under the Good Governance Program,
11:45Socioeconomic Program Delivery,
11:47and Official Engagements
11:49or joining international and domestic events
11:52under the orders of the President.
11:54Also according to the COA report,
11:55the expenses for domestic and international trips
11:59of the Office of the Vice President increased.
12:01In 2022,
12:02the expenses were P20.11 million.
12:06This is the difference between the former Vice President Leni Robredo
12:10and the current Vice President Sara Duterte.
12:13By the end of 2023,
12:15when VP Sara was already in charge for the whole year,
12:18the travel expenses tripled to P42.58 million.
12:22The amount of assistance distributed by the OVP also increased.
12:26In the Computational GMA Integrated News Research,
12:29it was P1.28 billion for the assistance,
12:34subsidies, and welfare goods of 2023.
12:37It tripled the expenses of 2022.
12:40According to the COA,
12:41welfare goods are relief goods and food boxes
12:44that are given to the needy like the victims of calamity.
12:48As for the expenses of the OVP,
12:51the Medical Burial Assistance,
12:53Hospitals for Medical Assistance Program,
12:55and Medical Physical Examination of OVP Employees and Personnel.
12:59But the COA observed something in the distribution of welfare goods.
13:04It is not clear if these were distributed
13:07because of the lack of guidelines and procedures
13:10and control measures of the OVP.
13:12In Davao Satellite Office of VP Sara,
13:15there is a lack of inventory
13:18like food items that are about to expire
13:21but have not yet been distributed,
13:23food items in the unventilated shipping container, and others.
13:28It was noted in the report that the OVP used its funds
13:32for the socio-economic program delivery.
13:35Its accomplishments are higher than the target.
13:39We listened to the reaction of the Vice-Chairman in the audit report,
13:42but he still has no answer.
13:44For the GMA Integrated News,
13:46I'm Sandra Aguinaldo,
