00:00Let's be together!
00:08Taksi!
00:15More than 50,000 residents in Western and Central Visayas
00:18are affected by the eruption of Volcano Canlaon
00:21by the Office of Civil Defense.
00:23FIVOX said that it is mandatory
00:25to evacuate the residents within a 6-kilometer radius
00:29around the volcano.
00:31And from La Castellana, Negros Occidental,
00:34this is Aileen Pedrezo of GMA Regional TV.
00:39Aileen?
00:40Pia, the residents evacuated here at the evacuation center
00:44in La Castellana, Negros Occidental
00:46are still affected by the eruption of Volcano Canlaon
00:49earlier this afternoon.
00:52What?
00:54Oh no, oh no, oh no!
00:57The residents around Volcano Canlaon were shocked
01:00when it suddenly erupted at 3 p.m. earlier this afternoon.
01:05Oh my God!
01:06It erupted at 3 p.m.
01:08I'm shaking.
01:10You can also see in the video
01:11the eruption of the hot smoke in the valley of the mountain.
01:15It was an explosive eruption that lasted for 7 minutes.
01:20It caused an eruption plume or hot smoke
01:23that curved towards the southern side.
01:26It reached up to 4,000 meters from the mouth of the volcano
01:30and was seen from the town of Moises Padilla
01:33as well as across the sea in Toledo City, Cebu.
01:37The volcanic ash fell in Ilihan Valley in Baguos City
01:41and fell on the skin of a netizen.
01:44The ash fall or rain in La Carlota City
01:47is believed to have been caused by the rain.
01:51The rain was very strong.
01:52I thought it was going to rain
01:53and we took our clothes.
01:56Maybe I didn't get wet.
01:58That's why there was a lot of sand.
02:00Those who were on the side of the road
02:02left their vegetables and fruits
02:05and entered their homes.
02:07Some of them felt bad.
02:09Our clothes got stuck.
02:11There were a lot of mosquitoes on the road.
02:12There were a lot of mosquitoes.
02:13There were a lot of mosquitoes on the road.
02:14There were a lot of mosquitoes on the road.
02:16We had to leave our clothes
02:17because it was heavy.
02:18We had to take care of our clothes.
02:20We climbed on top of our clothes
02:22and put on a mask
02:25and got a wet towel
02:28to wipe our clothes.
02:31Because of the ash fall,
02:32evacuations were carried out
02:33in some parts of Baguos City
02:35and La Casillana
02:36according to the Negros Occidental PDRRMO.
02:39It is believed that the ash fell from the volcano
02:41so residents were advised
02:43to use face masks
02:44and avoid leaving their homes.
02:47Disaster response teams were prepared
02:49as well as food and non-food items.
02:53P-boxes were deployed
02:54to avoid airplanes
02:55near the mouth of the volcano.
02:58Even now,
02:59there are still no cancelled flights
03:00to the airports
03:01in Iloilo, Calibo, Bacolod, Rojas, and Antique.
03:06The eruption of the volcano earlier
03:07was similar to the eruption
03:09that happened earlier this June.
03:11From alert level 2,
03:12it was raised to alert level 3 earlier.
03:15This means that
03:16the magnetic unrest is already starting.
03:19It is also possible that
03:20the stronger eruption will follow.
03:23It is also possible that,
03:24like earlier,
03:25there will be a pyroclastic density current
03:28or PDC
03:29which according to P-box
03:30is the most dangerous effect of the eruption.
03:34As a precaution,
03:35P-box said,
03:36it is mandatory
03:37or should be enforced
03:38for residents
03:39to live within 6-kilometer radius
03:41around the volcano.
03:4330 to 60 kilometers per hour.
03:46There are PDCs that are very fast.
03:49We cannot run through the PDC.
03:52That is why,
03:53our safety measure
03:54should be avoidance.
03:58Residents are also prepared
03:59in case the volcano erupts
04:01if there is a strong rain.
04:03We just want to remind our countrymen
04:05living around Calaon volcano
04:07that they should be vigilant
04:08and they should always be prepared
04:10in case the activity escalates
04:12and we will raise the alert level
04:14from alert level 3 to alert level 4.
04:19The LGU admitted
04:20that the evacuation will be difficult
04:22for some parts of the country.
04:24But the response team is insisting
04:26that the evacuees should be brought
04:27to a safe place.
04:29For now,
04:30a briefing is being held
04:31for what should be done
04:33and what should be done
04:34inside the evacuation center.
04:37From La Casillana,
04:38in Negros Occidental,
04:39for GEMI Integrated News,
04:41I'm Aileen Pederezo
04:42of GEMI Regional TV,
04:43your Saksi.
04:47FIVOX is reporting again
04:48about the Pyroclastic Density Current
04:50or PDC.
04:51They say,
04:52it is the most dangerous effect
04:54of a volcanic eruption.
04:56In the eruption of Calaon earlier,
04:58the ash plume
05:00or the flow of smoke
05:02went in the direction
05:03west-southwest
05:04or kanluran-timog-kanluran.
05:06In the opposite direction,
05:07in Timog Silangan,
05:08the PDC went down
05:09towards La Castellana.
05:11The PDC mixed
05:13hot ash,
05:14rocks and gas
05:15and can cause
05:16a fire,
05:17according to FIVOX.
05:18The PDC moves faster
05:20compared to the lahar flow.
05:22And it has a long dynamic pressure
05:24or strong force.
05:25That's why,
05:26the impact of this
05:27was stopped
05:28by FIVOX
05:29in the impact
05:30of a high-speed vehicle.
05:31The ashes of this
05:33can cause a fire.
05:34That's why,
05:35even if the PDC is smooth,
05:36in FIVOX,
05:37it can still cause
05:38a fire of ash
05:39and asphyxiation
05:40or difficulty in breathing.
05:42In addition to FIVOX,
05:44the PDC cannot escape
05:46when it moves
05:47from the mouth of the volcano.
05:49That's why,
05:50it is better
05:51to avoid it
05:52and to follow
05:53the warning
05:54of evacuation.
06:01Before the success,
06:02because of the loss
06:03of the wallet,
06:04a man stole
06:05his drink
06:06in Antipolo City.
06:08Witness,
06:09Ian Cruz.
06:18Residents of
06:20St. Joseph
06:21in Parangay San Jose,
06:22Antipolo City,
06:23were flooded last night
06:24because of the defeat
06:25of two men.
06:29The couple
06:30was holding
06:31a motorcycle
06:32while patrolling
06:33in a motorcycle.
06:34The two men
06:35were injured.
06:38The 39-year-old
06:39was taken home
06:40by the police
06:41to the victim,
06:42Rodel Zonio.
06:43The suspect,
06:44Fresardo Verano,
06:45quickly ran away
06:46while Zonio was bleeding.
06:48They were immediately
06:49taken to the hospital.
06:50In an investigation
06:51by Antipolo City Police,
06:52the two men
06:53were seen
06:54drinking together.
06:56The victim
06:57was released
06:58from the hospital today.
06:59His wallet
07:00was his wallet.
07:03I was the one
07:04he was selling.
07:06He was angry with me.
07:08He messaged
07:09the owner of the drink.
07:10They answered
07:14what they did to me.
07:16Verano was continuously
07:17looking for him.
07:18The police
07:19is filing a complaint
07:20for Frustrated Homicide.
07:22For GMA Integrated News,
07:23I am Ian Cruz,
07:24your witness.
07:27More than 400 people
07:28were arrested
07:29by the Confidential Funds
07:30of the Department of Education
07:32for breaking
07:33the record
07:34of homicides
07:35in the Philippine
07:36Statistics Authority.
07:37Aside from Mary Grace Piatos,
07:38more names
07:39were questioned
07:40like the one
07:41in the three receipts
07:43but the signature
07:44and address
07:45were different.
07:46Witness,
07:47Jonathan Andal.
07:51These three receipts
07:52were named
07:53in an Alice Crescencio.
07:55But the signature
07:56and address
07:57were different.
07:58These receipts
07:59were signed
08:00and sealed.
08:01The names were different
08:02but the signatures
08:03were the same.
08:04These are new receipts
08:05that were questioned
08:06by congressmen.
08:07This is a bit crazy.
08:09The signatories
08:11or the makers
08:12of these ARs
08:13are not coordinated.
08:15And because of this,
08:16Mr. Chair,
08:17I believe that this receipt
08:18was again
08:19merely fabricated.
08:21Based on the data
08:22of the Philippine Statistics Authority,
08:23there is no record
08:24of the birth
08:25of more than
08:26400 names
08:27that were accepted
08:28by confidential funds
08:29from the Department
08:30of Education
08:31under Vice President
08:32Sara Duterte
08:33including Alice Crescencio
08:35and Kokoy Villamin
08:36that the signatures
08:37were different
08:38from the receipts.
08:39The first one
08:40that was signed
08:41by the PSA
08:42with no birth records
08:43was Mary Grace Piatos.
08:45Out of 677 individuals,
08:48405
08:50did not have
08:51a birth certificate
08:52or no records
08:53in the birth certificate
08:55or we can say
08:56non-existent.
08:58Other names
08:59have records
09:00in the PSA
09:01but there are many names.
09:03Out of 612.5 million pesos
09:05of confidential funds,
09:06the lawmakers
09:07are looking for
09:08where it was spent.
09:10Now,
09:11after 8 hearings,
09:12the committee
09:13is finishing
09:14their investigation
09:15on the confidential funds
09:16of VP Sara.
09:17This is to give way
09:18to the impeachment
09:19against the Vice President
09:20that confidential funds
09:21are also being used.
09:24But Congresswoman
09:25Franz Castro
09:26requested
09:27not to call
09:28the two military colonels
09:29that were given
09:30by D. Umano
09:31100 million pesos
09:32of confidential funds
09:33of Vice President Duterte.
09:36We stopped there.
09:37We did not call
09:38the two security officers
09:39that were involved
09:40or those who accepted.
09:42The AFP also said
09:43that they are also
09:44having an internal investigation.
09:48I also do not believe
09:49that there will be
09:50a partial investigation
09:52towards that
09:53because
09:54we know
09:55that they are the people
09:56who are involved.
09:57We are still trying
09:58to get hold of
09:59the AFP.
10:00The Vice President
10:01said that the staff
10:02of the two officials
10:03will be able
10:04to rest
10:05after the hearing
10:06of the committee.
10:07The Vice President
10:08also welcomed
10:09the two impeachment
10:10complaints against her.
10:11So,
10:12the impeachment case
10:13is also okay
10:14because
10:15I am the only one
10:16who is investigating that.
10:17I am the only one
10:18who is investigating that.
10:19I am the only one
10:20who is being attacked
10:21by the impeachment case.
10:22The people
10:23who were with me
10:24in the office
10:25of the Vice President
10:26and the people
10:27who were with me
10:28in the Department
10:29of Education
10:30are now able
10:31to answer
10:32the final questions
10:33about what
10:34the people
10:35are accusing
10:36me of.
10:38The grounds
10:39of the impeachment
10:40complaints include
10:41the request
10:42to use
10:43the confidential funds
10:44of the office
10:45of the Vice President
10:46and the DepEd
10:47as well as the statements
10:48of Vice President
10:49Marcos,
10:50First Lady
10:51Liza Marcos
10:52and Martin Romualdez.
10:53House Secretary
10:54General Velasco
10:55said in a message
10:56that it is possible
10:57for a religious group
10:58to file three impeachment
10:59complaints
11:00against
11:01Vice President Duterte.
11:02But,
11:03some congressmen
11:04are worried
11:05that the time
11:06for impeachment
11:07might be over.
11:08Aside from Christmas break,
11:09the campaign for
11:10the election
11:11of 2025
11:12is about to start.
11:13I agree with
11:14some of my colleagues
11:15on the position
11:16that the time
11:17will be short.
11:18Remember,
11:19the practicality
11:20of the time
11:21is my concern.
11:22If possible,
11:23because of the time,
11:24we have to face
11:25reality.
11:26By next year,
11:27come February,
11:28it will be
11:29a national campaign.
11:30By March,
11:31it will be
11:32a local campaign.
11:33The House
11:34Secretary General
11:35still holds
11:36the two
11:37impeachment
11:38complaints
11:39filed against
11:40Vice President
11:41Duterte.
11:42The people
11:43are calling
11:44for a block
11:45that endorses
11:46and seeks
11:47signatures
11:48for the second
11:49impeachment
11:50complaint
11:51to give
11:52an opportunity
11:53for impeachment.
11:54The Vice President
11:55is also facing
11:56the National Bureau
11:57of Investigation
11:58on December 11
11:59after not being
12:00able to attend
12:01on November 29.
12:02But Vice President
12:03Sara said
12:04that she still
12:05cannot attend
12:06the new schedule.
12:07From what I understand
12:08from the explanation
12:09of my lawyers
12:10in the investigation
12:11of the NBI,
12:12she may not
12:13attend.
12:14She may just
12:15submit
12:16a letter
12:17or affidavit.
12:18Secondly,
12:19we have a lot
12:20of Thanksgiving
12:21activities
12:22on December 11.
12:23And thirdly,
12:24after our
12:25Thanksgiving
12:26activities,
12:27I will also be
12:28going home
12:29to Davao City
12:30to visit
12:31my uncle.
12:32For GMA
12:33Integrated News,
12:34I am Jonathan
12:35Andal,
12:36your witness.
12:37More than
12:38100 kilos
12:39of radioactive
12:40materials
12:41were found
12:42in the separate
12:43NBI operation.
12:44The arrested
12:45suspects
12:46were positive
12:47about being radioactive
12:48and exposed.
12:49Witness
12:50John Consulta.
12:55In this house
12:56in Cagayan de Oro City,
12:57the NBI
12:58targeted
12:59one of the
13:00members
13:01of the group
13:02who is
13:03involved in
13:04transactions
13:05on the dark web.
13:06The group
13:07was selling
13:08radioactive
13:09uranium.
13:11In Pasay,
13:12one of the
13:13suspects
13:14who was
13:15selling uranium
13:16to the NBI
13:17was also
13:18arrested in
13:19Cebu City
13:20and in the
13:21follow-up
13:22operation.
13:23According to
13:24the NBI,
13:25more than
13:26100 kilos
13:27of depleted
13:28uranium
13:29were found
13:30in the
13:31suspects
13:32who were
13:33positive
13:34about being
13:35radioactive
13:36after
13:37being exposed
13:38for a long
13:39time
13:40to the
13:41chemicals
13:42they were
13:43selling.
13:44The depleted
13:45uranium
13:46is a
13:47source
13:48of
13:49nuclear
13:50power.
13:51Even
13:52though
13:53it is
13:54not
13:55radioactive,
13:56the
13:57D.U.
13:58is still
13:59dangerous
14:00especially
14:01when
14:02the
14:03chemicals
14:04are
14:05depleted.
14:06The
14:07powder
14:08when
14:09inhaled
14:10and
14:11entered
14:12the lungs
14:13is an
14:14alpha
14:15nucleic
14:16acid.
14:17Since
14:18it is
14:19carcinogenic,
14:20it can
14:21cause health
14:22hazards to
14:23your lymph
14:24nodes,
14:25bones,
14:26brains,
14:27and testes
14:28and it
14:29can also
14:30increase
14:31the risk
14:32of breast
14:33cancers and
14:34lymphoma.
14:35Depleted
14:36uranium
14:37is a
14:38source
14:39of
14:40nuclear
14:41power.
14:42Even
14:43though
14:44the
14:45depleted
14:46uranium
14:47especially
14:48the solid
14:49state is
14:50very high
14:51density,
14:52so if
14:53you use it
14:54as a
14:55bullet,
14:56it can
14:57penetrate
14:58almost
14:59anything.
15:00Or
15:01you can
15:02use it
15:03as a
15:04shield.
15:05The
15:06D.U.
15:07can be
