NewsTranscript
00:00Live from the GMA Network Center, 20 years of news, 24 Hours.
00:12Good evening, Paul Luzon Visayas and Mindanao.
00:16There was an explosive eruption,
00:20the volcano that erupted in Negros Island earlier this afternoon.
00:24That's why the volcano was raised to Alert Level 3.
00:27This means that a magmatic eruption is about to start,
00:31which is still possible to follow,
00:32that's why the residents near the volcano are being more careful.
00:36The thick smoke and ash that was caused by the volcano earlier
00:40has already caused ashfall in many provinces.
00:45And June Veneration was hit.
00:50This is what we got from the FIVOX Observatory
00:53when the volcano suddenly erupted in Negros Provinces
00:56at 3 p.m. earlier this afternoon.
00:58Within a few seconds,
01:00the black and large smoke from the eruption of the volcano was seen.
01:10The residents living near the volcano were shocked.
01:27I'm freaking out.
01:29You can also see in the video the slow-moving smoke
01:33from the volcano's surface.
01:34The ash cloud
01:36can be seen getting bigger in this video.
01:43In the town of Moises, Padilla,
01:45you can also see how high the smoke reached.
01:49And even from across the sea,
01:51in Toledo City, Cebu,
01:53the tower of the volcano's smoke was hidden.
01:55According to FIVOX,
01:56the smoke reached a height of 4,000 meters
01:59from the volcano's surface.
02:02Because of the eruption,
02:04from Alert Level 2,
02:05Alert Level 3 was raised in Canlaon.
02:08This means that a magmatic eruption is about to start
02:12and the next eruptions are still possible.
02:15For GMI Integrated News,
02:17June Veneration was hit for 24 hours.
02:20The Philippine Statistics Authority confirmed
02:23that more than 400 names received confidential funds
02:29from the DepEd under Vice President Sara Duterte.
02:33Congressmen questioned a few new receipts
02:37because of the incorrect names and signatures.
02:40And Jonathan Andala was hit.
02:45Like Mary Grace Piatos,
02:48Congressmen discovered that
02:50more than 400 names received confidential funds
02:57from the DepEd under Vice President Sara Duterte.
03:01This is based on the confirmation of the PSA
03:05in the House Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability.
03:08Out of 677 individuals,
03:13405 have no birth certificate
03:18or no records of birth certificate
03:21or we can say non-existent.
03:24Some names have records in the PSA
03:26but there are many names.
03:28One of them has no birth record,
03:30Kokoy Villamin,
03:31who received confidential funds
03:33from the DepEd and Office of the Vice President
03:36but the signatures are different from the receipts.
03:39Congressmen also questioned new receipts.
03:42Alice Cresencio,
03:44whose name is on three receipts,
03:46but the signature and address are different.
03:49Sally Atchila,
03:50whose name is different but the signature is the same.
03:54This is a bit ridiculous.
03:56These signatories
04:01or the creators of these ARs
04:03are not coordinated.
04:05And because of this, Mr. Chair,
04:07I believe that this receipt
04:08was again merely fabricated.
04:11Congressmen listed the names of those
04:14who can be sued
04:15in the last seven hearings of the committee
04:18such as technical malversation,
04:20bribery, corruption of public officer,
04:23falsification of documents,
04:24perjury, and the most serious,
04:27plunder.
04:29If you are asked where the funds went
04:33and you cannot answer,
04:35the law presumes that you stole it.
04:37Given the amount we are talking about here,
04:41this may be
04:42under the crime of plunder.
04:45612.5 million pesos
04:48of confidential funds
04:50are being sought by the lawmakers
04:51as to where it was spent.
04:53As of now, after eight hearings,
04:55the committee is now finishing
04:57its investigation
04:58on the confidential funds of VP Sara.
05:00This is to allow for an impeachment
05:03against the vice
05:04whose confidential funds are also being used.
05:07But this was questioned by Congresswoman
05:09Franz Castro.
05:10How was it investigated
05:12by two military colonels
05:14who were given a deal
05:15of 100 million pesos
05:16of confidential funds
05:18by VP Sara?
05:19Why did we stop there?
05:20We did not call the two security officers
05:23who were involved
05:24or the ones who accepted it.
05:25The AFP also said
05:27that they are also conducting
05:29an internal investigation.
05:31I also do not believe
05:32that there will be a partial investigation
05:36towards that
05:37because we know
05:38that they are the ones involved.
05:40We are still trying to get
05:41the information of the vice and the AFP.
05:43For GMA Integrated News,
05:45Jonathan Andal has been on air
05:47for 24 hours.
05:49Some congressmen are worried
05:52that the time may be up
05:54to investigate the impeachment complaints
05:57against Vice President Sara Duterte.
06:00Aside from the Christmas break,
06:02the campaign for the election 2025
06:04is about to start.
06:07Tina Panganiban-Perez has been on air.
06:12In a message,
06:16House Secretary General Reginald Velasco said
06:19that it is possible
06:20that the three impeachment complaints
06:22against Vice President Sara Duterte
06:23will be hailed.
06:25Although he did not mention it,
06:27Velasco said
06:28that it is possible
06:29that it will be hailed
06:30by a religious group.
06:31But for now,
06:32some congressmen are worried
06:34that the time may be up
06:36for the impeachment.
06:38On Wednesday,
06:40the last session of the House of Representatives
06:42will be held before their Christmas break.
06:44After a few months,
06:46the campaign for the election 2025
06:48will also start.
06:50So some congressmen asked,
06:52is there still time for the impeachment?
06:54I agree with some of my colleagues
06:57that the time will be short.
06:59Remember,
07:00the practicality of the time
07:02is already December.
07:03My concern is the time.
07:07If possible,
07:09because of the time,
07:13we have to face reality
07:15by next year,
07:17come February,
07:19it will be a national campaign.
07:21By March,
07:23local campaign.
07:24For now,
07:25the Secretary General of the House of Representatives
07:27is still holding the two impeachment complaints
07:29that were filed against Vice President Sara Duterte.
07:31The Makabayan Bloc called
07:33for an endorsement
07:34and is looking for a signature
07:36for the second impeachment complaint
07:38to give an opportunity for impeachment.
07:40We call on you, Mr. Chair,
07:44to honor the Makabayan Bloc's move
07:46to file a people's impeachment complaint.
07:49The Vice President is still in office.
07:52He will remain in public funds.
07:55If we do not fulfill our duty
07:59to impeach an official like the Vice President
08:01who was given to us by the Constitution.
08:04We are asking for the reaction of the Vice President,
08:06not this.
08:08For GMA Integrated News,
08:10Tina Panganiban Perez,
08:12NAKATUTOK 24 HORAS.
08:16Finally,
08:17in the separate operation
08:18in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao,
08:20those who are selling or entering the dark web
08:22of dangerous chemicals
08:24that can be used in terrorism,
08:26John Consulta,
08:27NAKATUTOK.
08:28Consulta.
08:33After being caught,
08:34NBI agents immediately entered
08:36this house in Cagayan de Oro City.
08:40When it came to the second floor,
08:41their main target was caught.
08:45The NBI arrested
08:46one of the members of the group
08:48who was selling radioactive uranium
08:49in the dark web.
08:51Before this,
08:52a suspect was also caught in Pasay City
08:54who first tried to sell
08:56to an undercover buyer of NBI.
08:58Also in Cebu City,
08:59an arrest was made
09:00where uranium was also obtained
09:02in an area
09:03in the so-called follow-up operation.
09:05According to the NBI,
09:06the suspects were positive
09:07in being radioactive
09:09and have been exposed
09:10to the uranium they were selling for a long time.
09:12This is a very dangerous loophole
09:14that's why the NBI agents
09:16and PNRI
09:17joined the operation
09:18wearing protective suits
09:20for protection
09:21against radioactive material.
09:23The DU can be used
09:24as dirty bombs
09:26or radiation dispersal devices.
09:28This makes
09:29the DU as dirty bombs
09:31the ultimate weapon of terror.
09:33Our subjects are intending,
09:35were intending
09:36to sell it to foreigners
09:37and not to Filipinos.
09:39Powder,
09:40when inhaled,
09:41when it enters the lungs,
09:44it's an alpha emitter.
09:46You have a material inside you
09:50that generates alpha particles
09:54which is
09:55a potential route for cancer.
09:57Aside from the danger,
09:59the PNRI is in charge
10:00of how it was detected
10:01by some individuals.
10:03More than 100 depleted uranium
10:05were confiscated
10:06in separate operations
10:07that were sold
10:08for a total value
10:09of P173 million pesos.
10:11This is the first operation
10:12of the NBI and PNRI
10:14related to uranium
10:16which is a radioactive material.
10:18According to the NBI,
10:19even if the implications
10:21of the suspects' actions are known,
10:23the case they are facing
10:25is below the RA 5207
10:28which was passed in 1968.
10:31We hope that there will be
10:33a revisit,
10:34a review of the law.
10:35As we speak,
10:37we understand that
10:38there is a pending bill
10:40to improve this law.
10:42We are now investigating
10:44with the help of INTERPOL
10:47and FBI
10:50and other agencies
10:53to determine
10:55how the uranium
10:57was delivered
10:58here in the Philippines.
11:01The PNRI is already
11:02conducting decontamination
11:04in the locations of operations
11:05in Pasay, Cebu, and Cagayan y Oro
11:07to ensure the safety of the public.
11:10For JMA Integrated News,
11:12Sean Consulta,
11:14Nakatutok, 24 Hours.
11:17The MMDA will call for help
11:19from various sectors
11:21and groups
11:22to address the upcoming
11:24road accidents.
11:26Especially those
11:27whose lives are at risk.
11:29This is Nakatutok, Joseph Moro.
11:34Earlier this morning,
11:35on UN Avenue in Manila,
11:37a SUV collided
11:38with a concrete barrier
11:39and damaged the vehicles.
11:42Four riders were injured,
11:43a tricycle driver,
11:44and the SUV's driver.
11:47Here on December 5,
11:48a truck lost its brakes
11:50during a flyover
11:51in Quezon City.
11:52Four people were killed,
11:53including a motorcycle delivery rider,
11:55Anthony Irinco.
11:57It should have been answered.
11:59It should have been answered.
12:02If I could only reach
12:03the driver that day,
12:04I might not be able
12:05to reach him this Christmas.
12:07I will miss him so much.
12:08I will not be able to accept it.
12:10As long as I live,
12:11as long as I live,
12:13I will miss my son.
12:1635 people were injured,
12:17including an 8-month-old boy.
12:21The truck's driver
12:22was hit by the Quezon City
12:23Traffic Enforcement Unit,
12:24Sector 3,
12:25with a complaint of
12:26reckless imprudence
12:27resulting in multiple homicide,
12:28multiple physical injuries,
12:30and multiple damage
12:31to properties.
12:32He was also called
12:33by the Land Transportation Office
12:35and the owner of the truck, Bukas.
12:38One person was killed
12:39and six people were injured
12:40in a carambola
12:41of six vehicles
12:42on the skyway
12:43of Paranaque
12:44on December 6.
12:46On December 7,
12:47in Antipolo,
12:48an 18-wheel truck
12:49carrying a Copra
12:50lost its brakes
12:51on the Sumulong Highway
12:52and collided
12:53with other vehicles.
12:55No one was injured
12:56or killed here.
12:59According to the MMDA,
13:00562 people were killed
13:01in more than 85,000
13:02accidents
13:03on the road
13:04last year,
13:05including
13:06more than 165,000
13:07vehicles.
13:11Most people were killed
13:12in the collision
13:13of motorcycles
13:14and trucks,
13:15followed by the collision
13:16of motorcycles
13:17and cars,
13:18and thirdly,
13:19in the cars
13:20that were hit
13:21by pedestrians.
13:22According to the MMDA,
13:23pedestrians
13:24and motorcycle riders
13:25are the most vulnerable
13:26or co-accidents
13:27on the road
13:28in Metro Manila.
13:30The MMDA
13:31will call
13:32the sectors
13:33that have a connection
13:34to the safety
13:35of the road.
13:36It will also call
13:37the associations
13:38of truck and haulers
13:39and motorcycles
13:40this Sunday.
13:42It's alarming
13:43that there are
13:44big accidents
13:45almost every day.
13:47Some people
13:48even committed
13:49suicide.
13:51Is it an enforcement
13:52issue?
13:53Especially
13:54the overloading
13:55because we can see
13:56that the excuse
13:57that the brakes
13:58are not working
13:59is more likely
14:00to be maintained.
14:01The problem
14:02is when the brakes
14:03are working
14:04and the load
14:05is too heavy,
14:06the brakes
14:07are not working.
14:08For the GMA
14:09Integrated News,
