00:00Two people were killed after being trapped in a burnt-down foam warehouse in Davao City.
00:09The fire was still being extinguished.
00:11Some houses were also burned down near a bus station in Barangay Piñahan, Quezon City.
00:18At 6 p.m., no one was injured in the fire.
00:23The cause of the fire is still being investigated.
00:25A residential area in Santa Mesa, Manila was also burned down, where three minority siblings were trapped.
00:35A fire pit is also being investigated, which is worth P30,000.
00:41The Commission on Elections stopped the printing of balotas for the 2025 National Elections, which started on January 6.
00:51According to COMELEC Chairman George Erwin Garcia, this is followed by the Supreme Court issuing a temporary restraining order
00:58for disqualifying some candidates, including former Representative Edgar Erice, who runs for the 2nd District of Caloocan.
01:07Erice appealed to the Supreme Court for COMELEC's favor in filing a disqualification case against him.
01:13Erice was first to deny that he did not violate the provision of the Omnibus Election Code.
01:18According to COMELEC, changes to the Candidate's Database Election Management System or EMS, Automated Counting Machine, and Consolidated Canvassing System
01:28will be implemented.
01:29The 1,667 balot face templates and serialization will also be changed and the number of candidates will also be changed.
01:38Printing of affected balotas will be repeated.
01:42And because the EMS and database will be changed, it will also be studied if the Trusted Build will be repeated.
01:48The Trusted Build is the conversion of the source code made by programmers to machine-readable codes.
01:56A modern jeep that lost control of the brakes and a tricycle in Calumpit, Bulacan collided.
02:01Two people were killed and 20 people were injured.
02:05This is the report of Mico Wahe.
02:08Oh my God!
02:10Some residents helped in rescuing the modern jeep that collided with a tricycle and fell to the side of the road in Calumpit, Bulacan.
02:18Some were injured, most were students.
02:21The elderly man who was riding the tricycle was also injured.
02:24His niece fell down in the middle of the road.
02:28We came from District Hospital.
02:30We went to the hospital to get a check-up.
02:32When we were about to go home, that's when it happened.
02:37But his niece and the driver of the tricycle that they were riding were not saved.
02:42According to witnesses, the jeep suddenly counter-flowed.
02:45It counter-flowed.
02:46He didn't know that there was a collision.
02:48He grabbed the tricycle.
02:49Due to the impact, the motorcycle separated from the tricycle and also fell near the bridge.
02:54This modern jeep traveled to San Fernando, Pampanga.
02:57Before the accident, he was riding on the right side of the road.
03:01When he lost control, he forced himself to lean to the left until the tricycle collided with him.
03:07This is how far he was able to reach.
03:10According to Calumpit Police, aside from the two injured people, there were also 20 injured people who were taken to the hospital.
03:16The police already held the driver of the modern jeep.
03:19The brakes were lost.
03:21I tried to avoid it.
03:22I tried to stop it.
03:25That's why I forced myself to stop it so that my passengers won't be affected.
03:29I hope you will forgive me.
03:31Reckless imprudence resulting to homicide and physical injury and damage to property.
03:37Nico Jae reporting for GMA Integrated News.
03:42It took more than two years before the family found the body of their missing relative.
03:48The suspect in the murder is also part of the group of people who committed the murder in another case of a businessman who was tortured and killed.
03:55My report, Emil Sumangin.
04:00This body was found in Caloocan in 2022.
04:04There's duct tape on his face, gauze on his hands,
04:07he was severely injured and he seemed to be in pain.
04:11I only saw his feet.
04:13When I saw his feet, I ran away because I was really scared.
04:17After more than two years, we found out who he is.
04:21Noel Gonzaga, 29 years old.
04:24The family is looking for him.
04:26They found him at the side of the road in Poneraria.
04:29Can you confirm who he is, sir?
04:31He's the one he was wearing when he was missing.
04:35The suspect in the murder is Elias Noli, a classmate and friend of the victim.
04:39On TV, the victim's relative saw the suspect when he was arrested for another case of kidnap for ransom.
04:46He confessed voluntarily that he was the one who killed my son.
04:50The victim is asking for money worth P200,000.
04:56The suspect found out that his friend, a schoolmate,
05:01has money. He contacted his mother to ask for P200,000.
05:06Where did you kill my brother? Answer me.
05:11The suspect pointed to the area where Gonzaga's body was dumped.
05:16The victim's mother thought that the suspect had a accomplice.
05:20According to the QCPD, Elias Noli was with the group of people who were arrested by Umunoy Mastermind
05:25for the separate kidnapping and murder of a businessman who was shot in the drum before he was buried.
05:30They were also involved in the killing of the businessman.
05:36Umunoy Mastermind uses a different name.
05:40But the former actress Rochelle Barameda is also convinced that the man who was shot
05:46was the one who killed her brother, Ruby Rose Barameda.
05:49If we can prove that we are supplementary to the fiscal,
05:52we can also charge him with hiding his name.
05:57Emil Sumangil reporting for GMA Integrated News.
06:01The trust ratings of the five highest officials of the country were lowered based on the survey of OCTA Research.
06:07In the last round of the mass survey, the trust rating of Vice President Sara Duterte dropped by 10 points.
06:14The trust rating of November was 49% from 59% in September.
06:19The performance rating of Duterte also dropped from 48% to 52%.
06:25According to OCTA, this is the lowest rating since December 2023
06:29and the first time that his performance and trust ratings dropped below the majority threshold of 50%.
06:36The trust rating of President Bongbong Marcos was 65% in November,
06:41which is lower than 69% in September.
06:44From 66% performance rating,
06:47the trust ratings of the President dropped below 64% in November.
06:53The trust ratings of Senate President Francis Escudero dropped below 63% in November.
06:59House Speaker Martin Romualdez dropped below 58%
07:02and Chief Justice Alexander G. G. Gismundo dropped below 10%.
07:06The performance rating of Escudero did not change from 65%
07:10while Romualdez dropped below 59% and G. G. G. Gismundo dropped below 8%.
07:16This survey was conducted from November 10 to 16 in 1,200 respondents
07:21and there was a margin of error of plus or minus 3%.
07:26An SUV with a government office plate and a pickup truck on the convoy was driven by a congressman.
07:31These are the new vehicles that passed through EDSA busway.
07:35Niku Wahe has a report.
07:40Special Action and Intelligence Committee for Transportation or SAIC
07:44was the vehicle that passed through EDSA busway in Ortega Station,
07:48opened blinkers and honked.
07:50Sir, good afternoon.
07:51Guys, good afternoon. Our VIP is here.
07:54Who?
07:55Congresswoman.
07:56Congresswoman only.
07:58They were immediately told that they are not allowed to pass through EDSA busway,
08:01even though she is referring to Congresswoman.
08:04We are not allowed to pass through EDSA busway, sir.
08:06Because there is no...
08:07Sir, they are already there.
08:08Yes, they are already there.
08:09I thought they will follow.
08:11SAIC officers asked for the driver's license to the passenger side.
08:14At first, the vehicle seemed to slow down and move to the side.
08:17But it moved and ran away.
08:20A few minutes later, another SUV with a government plate passed through the busway.
08:25It also moved and ran away, and the operative was hit in the hand.
08:32SAIC is in contact with LTO, especially that they got the plate number of the two vehicles.
08:38This vehicle, the registered owner of the vehicle and the driver,
08:42will be brought by LTO's show-cause order.
08:46LTO will talk about their violations and penalties.
08:59We still don't know the identity of Congresswoman,
09:03if she is really an escort.
09:05But the enforcers said that even if she is an escort,
09:09she is not allowed to use the busway.
09:13She is not allowed to use the busway.
09:16A reminder from the Department of Transportation,
09:18those who can pass through EDSA busway, aside from buses,
09:21are on-duty ambulances, fire trucks, police cars, and service vehicles for the EDSA busway project.
09:30Officials who can pass through EDSA busway are the President,
09:33Vice President, Senate President, House Speaker, and Chief Justice.
09:37Nick Juaje reporting for GMA Integrated News.
09:41It's a double-edged sword for the relatives of a dead OFW in Kuwait
09:45to discover that their relative is not at home, but their co-worker, a Nepalese.
09:52The family is also in doubt as to how the OFW got home.
09:56Maris Umali has a report.
10:02After Natania and her siblings' crying,
10:05when their relative, Jenny Alvarado, who is from Kuwait,
10:09followed them, the box is full of details,
10:11where the relative is placed.
10:13There is no phone number, even her name.
10:16But when the body was examined at the funerary,
10:18No, that's not my mother!
10:20No, that's not my mother!
10:23Her nose is alive here, and she has a peclot in her hand,
10:27which looks like a keloid.
10:29None.
10:31Instead of their mother, a Nepali relative,
10:33she accompanied them to their work.
10:35The Department of Migrant Workers requested
10:38that Jenny's relative arrive on Thursday.
10:41As it is, I take full responsibility,
10:45because I was also the one who said that Jenny's return was too early,
10:50which might have caused the mistake.
10:52But that said, we are also carefully studying
10:56whether there are liabilities involved
10:59with respect to the shipping of the human remains.
11:02Jenny was at home on January 2,
11:04after being suffocated in the fire of the fire.
11:07The Nepali and two Sri Lankans were also killed in the incident,
11:10but her family is in doubt.
11:12Maybe she was also hurt.
11:14Because there is a history.
11:16Possibly, when you call the police,
11:18there is no meaning in asking for help.
11:23Her nails were removed.
11:24Her hand was tied,
11:26which is, she has blood,
11:28which is still whole.
11:30Then, you can see her neck,
11:32which is violet.
11:34They were both suffocated and killed.
11:36But why did the Nepali boat arrive here?
11:39That's what it looks like.
11:40The family decided,
11:41and a group of witnesses,
11:42or a group of D.H.
11:44in the middle of the island,
11:45has foul play in the death of Jenny
11:47and her other companions.
11:49That's why they are calling on the government
11:51to investigate the incident more thoroughly,
11:53to answer the charges,
11:55and to give justice to the victims.
11:57We have assured them of getting the police reports
12:03and the autopsy results.
12:04Because that is what we are waiting for.
12:07Before we can investigate,
12:10whether or not we will pursue claims
12:12in relation to Jenny's death.
