01:24It was feared that the river would overflow and flood several areas.
01:29According to ITCZ, the rain in Oriental Mindoro was caused by shear line and strong winds.
01:34For GMA Integrated News, Darlene Cai, for 24 Hours.
01:43Be prepared because it is possible that it will rain in almost the entire country tomorrow,
01:48as experienced in Palawan, Oriental Mindoro, and several other parts of the country.

02:35A senior citizen was at home when the house was forced to be taken out.
02:39EJ Gomez was there.
02:40The residents of Barangay 182, Gagalangin, Tondo, Manila, were engulfed by a raging fire last night at 11 p.m.
02:50It was difficult to extinguish the fire, which was immediately raised to the second alarm.
02:55It was made of light materials.
02:58That's why the fire spread quickly and it got bigger.
03:02At the same time, there were a lot of people.
03:04The roads were very narrow.
03:06It was really difficult for our fire trucks to enter.
03:12The residents were given buckets of water as a help in extinguishing the fire.
03:17Many of them ran away from the fire.
03:20Others were bitten by their pets.
03:24You can't form anything because of the strong smoke.
03:28I was afraid that I might get burned.
03:30We can't see anything.
03:32Of course, it hurts because we don't have a house anymore.
03:37It's okay as long as our lives are saved.
03:40All the people who live with us.
03:43According to the BFP, a 64-year-old woman was burned.
03:48The victim was sleeping when the fire broke out, so she couldn't escape.
03:52According to the BFP, six houses were destroyed by the fire.
03:56Seven families or 21 individuals were affected.
04:00Our evacuation will be open to the barangay hall,
04:04covert work for their temporary shelter.
04:08According to the BFP, the fire is estimated to be worth more than P800,000.
04:13It is also known that the flames of the fire, which was completely extinguished,
04:17will spread in the middle of the day.
04:20For GMA Integrated News, EJ Garcia.
04:27The fire lasted for 24 hours.
04:30How many more houses were destroyed in Edsa Busway?
04:33Including a convoy of the PNP Highway Patrol Group
04:36that was forced to stop the operation of the fire in the busway.
04:40Nico Juahe was also affected.
04:43Convoy, bro. Convoy.
04:46This convoy passed through Edsa Bus Lane in Ortigas Northbound.
04:51The Highway Patrol Group escorted a white van and another vehicle
04:56when they saw the Special Action and Intelligence Committee for Transportation or SAIC
05:01trying to get out of the bus lane.
05:03But the SAIC officers stopped them.
05:06In the incident report of the SAIC,
05:08HPG owned the van and the vehicle that followed.
05:12According to the enforcer, the HPG official who was inside the van is a high-ranking official.
05:17The enforcers are saying that we are just traffickers.
05:23In another video, we can hear another HPG officer talking to the enforcer
05:28and asking them to stop their operation.
05:30Because they are contacting us on social media,
05:33maybe we can stop the operation first, sir.
05:35Even the chief PNP is requesting.
05:38I don't have any contact with the office.
05:41Now, the chief PNP is requesting that if possible,
05:45we should stop the operation.
05:47While we were stopping the operation, another vehicle arrived.
05:51I'm asking for permission to enter the marked vehicle of the PNP.
05:56There's another vehicle.
05:58According to the enforcers, the chief PNP ordered them to stop the operation of the SAIC.
06:06According to the SAIC, the PNP has no power to stop their operation.
06:10It has to be a written instruction from the DOTR secretary because the bus lane is a DOTR project.
06:17The incident was still closed.
06:19The PNP confirmed that it is an HPG officer.
06:22We are still asking for permission from the PNP and the PNP chief General Romel Marbil.
06:27In the middle of the closure of the HPG officers,
06:29an SUV was also caught and two passengers were injured.
06:33When the driver was asked for his license, he gave a diplomatic passport.
06:37When the SAIC officers took the picture, the US Embassy official got angry.
06:42He is threatening to steal US diplomatic material.
06:45You know what he could do?
06:47He could sell the picture of the passport to the Chinese spies who were helping China arrest.
06:53How do we know he's not going to do that?
06:55Of course, we are all paranoid now in China.
07:01According to the answer, the American nationals also asked for a ticket.
07:04The diplomats are not included in the approval of the EDSA busway.
07:07The US Embassy approved the incident and ordered the staff to follow the laws in the Philippines,
07:13including the traffic regulations.
07:15But the Chinese Embassy also said that it has received information about the incident that they are in charge of.
07:20There is also no basis for the narrative of the Chinese spies.
07:24Meanwhile, they want to receive the results of the investigation up to this point.
07:28For GMA Integrated News, I'm Nico Juage, for Tutok 24 Hours.
07:38The tram that became a public transport in Manila before World War II,
07:43was revived and is now being lined up.
07:47From Intramuros, it goes to Intramuros-Binondo Bridge,
07:51straight to Binondo,
07:54until it reaches Escolta.
07:57I am now riding the tram from Intramuros to Manila,
08:01I am now riding the tram from Intramuros to Manila,
08:05straight to Escolta in Manila.
08:08It is free to ride here on the weekends of February,
08:13from 10am to 6pm.
08:15They do this to show the public
08:18the similarity of Intramuros and Escolta in Manila
08:23in terms of arts and culture.
08:26The journey is 20 to 30 minutes, so you can really enjoy the view.
08:31It's one of the ways for you to know about its culture here in Intramuros
08:36and as well as the whole of the city of Manila.
08:38I think it's a wonderful initiative put on by Escolta and the Intramuros administration
08:43to link these creative communities from Escolta to Intramuros.
08:46The tram via ride is one of the highlights of the street art fair of Intramuros and Escolta.
08:52We aim to connect the bridge of Intramuros and Escolta
08:58through contemporary art.
09:00We seek to provide a platform for our local artisans,
09:04artists and merchants to showcase their creativity and work.
09:09One of the things you will see in this trade fair
09:12are the different mosaic portraits.
09:14Just like the mosaic portrait of Dr. Jose Rizal
09:17and some beauty queens.
09:18This is different because these mosaic portraits are made from plastic bricks.
09:25We get to see different forms of art from many different artists.
09:29All of their works, any form of art,
09:33are made by the hands of talented Pinoy artists.
09:37For Jimmy Integrated News,
09:40Katrina Son,
09:4224 Hours.
09:43A small plane crashed and exploded on the highway in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
09:49Two were killed and seven were injured.
09:52According to witnesses,
09:54the plane was hit by an emergency landing
09:57but fell off the trees and bus.
09:59The investigation continues.
10:05In America,
10:07several parts of the Black Hawk helicopter were seized by the authorities
10:10This is the Black Hawk helicopter that crashed in a river near Washington, D.C.
10:15This is the helicopter that crashed in a commercial airliner last week.
10:20It was hit by 67 planes.
10:22The tragedy continues.
10:27To all motorists,
10:29please be careful and do not let your car windows be open all the time.
10:33In Ross Boulevard, Manila,
10:35a car was hit by a car with its windows open.
10:37The windows were open.
10:39Darlene Cai was hit.
10:43While the vehicles were stopped in Ross Boulevard, Southbound, Manila,
10:48a man suddenly approached the red car with the windows open
10:52and the bag was pulled from the passenger inside.
10:58It was not seen in the video,
11:00but there was another man on the driver's side who quickly passed by.
11:04Some men also saw him,
11:06who seemed to be having a good time.
11:08The policemen immediately arrested the minor.
11:22According to the police,
11:24the bag containing cash, ID, and personal belongings was returned to the victim.
11:27The minor who was arrested was instructed by one of his accomplices.
11:33His accomplice was an adult.
11:35Unfortunately, he was carrying a gun.
11:39According to the investigation,
11:41the vehicles opened the windows,
11:44but the doors were not locked.
11:46One of them was glancing at the driver's side.
11:49For example, they were cleaning the windows.
11:53He glanced at the driver's attention.
11:58That's when his accomplice got the bag.
12:01I was surprised.
12:03We were walking to Star City.
12:06Then, my friend pulled the bag.
12:09He admitted that he was armed when he was arrested.
12:12It was just a coincidence.
12:16The suspect is facing allegations of illegal possession of firearms
12:19and violation of the election gun ban.
12:21While the minor was being pulled,
12:24he was held by the DSWD.
12:26The police reminded the motorists.
12:27Let's not open the windows if it's not necessary.
12:32Even if it's a minor, they can still pull him down.
12:35They can still force him to get down.
12:37For the GMA Integrated Moves,
12:39Darlene Cai was arrested for 24 hours.
12:42Vice President Sara Duterte was not special
12:45to expedite the impeachment trial.
12:47This is the answer of Senate President Jesus Codero
12:50to the questions about impeachment in the Senate.
12:52Ma'am Gonzalez was arrested.
12:57If President Bongbong Marcos is the one
13:00to call for a special session
13:02to talk about the impeachment trial
13:04of Vice President Sara Duterte,
13:06the Senate will not be able to do anything
13:08if there are five people here.
13:10But...
13:12Will that favor come from us?
13:14Or will that favor come from me?
13:16It's not necessary.
13:18I repeat, I don't want to contract a special session.
13:20He did not receive any calls
13:22from the President or Camara Caognay-Rito.
13:24That's what Escudero said,
13:25that there is no need for a special session
13:27to start the impeachment trial.
13:29I have no plan.
13:31What is the reason why it is necessary?
13:33Is it because he is special?
13:35Is it because we are in a hurry?
13:37Is it because some sectors are very angry
13:39and want to start the trial immediately?
13:41I believe that there should be justice
13:43so that there won't be any instability
13:45and so that there won't be any doubt
13:47that Caognay-Rito will be passed
13:49by the impeachment court when the time comes.
13:51That's why Escudero asked the congressmen
13:53why they delayed the process
13:55of the impeachment.
13:57We have work to do,
13:59Caognay, in the legislation
14:01that does not require us to wait
14:03for something that, I repeat,
14:05took more than two months.
14:07Second, for me,
14:09there are things that the Senate
14:11still needs to do
14:13before we can start the trial.
14:15We do not blame anyone.
14:17We do not say that we will start immediately.
14:19The only thing the Constitution says
14:21and there is no condition
14:23in our Constitution
14:25that we will start immediately.
14:27When can we start?
14:29I think it's too early.
14:31Senate Minority Leader Coco Pimentel
14:33said that if there is a special session,
14:35the impeachment proceedings
14:37and the passing of the priorities
14:39of the administration will be fast.
14:41There should be a sense of urgency.
14:43Although it does not mean
14:45that the impeachment complaint
14:47should be accepted immediately,
14:49it is not forthwith
14:51if three and a half months are passed.
14:53Escudero replied,
14:55Vice President Sara Duterte
14:57said that the position of the Vice President
14:59is not special
15:01so that we can easily
15:03accuse the Chief Justice
15:05and the Ombudsman.
15:07They are both impeachable officers
15:09under the Constitution.
15:11Both should be tried.
15:13During the impeachment of former
15:15Chief Justice Renato Corona
15:17and Ombudsman Merceditas Gutierrez,
15:19it took more than a month
15:21before the Senate started the trial.
15:23According to retired Senior Associate
15:25Special Session President,
15:27for an urgent bill,
15:29the impeachment can be discussed.
15:31Maybe it's just a session day.
15:33Even if it's 20 days,
15:35it can be done.
15:37So they can now convene
15:39as impeachment court
15:41because they are in session.
15:43Even if the Vice President resigns
15:45before the impeachment trial,
15:47I hope the litigation will continue.
15:49If morally, mentally,
15:51or psychologically unfit
15:53a senior official in the government
15:55will continue to be prohibited
15:57and convicted of perpetual disqualification
16:00from holding public office.
16:02But for Retired Associate Justice Adolfo Ascuna,
16:05one of the framers of the 1987 Constitution,
16:08The Constitution doesn't say that.
16:10Disqualification is just an incident
16:13after removal.
16:15If there is no removal,
16:17I don't think you can have disqualification.
16:20It is possible that the Vice President
16:22will not be removed from office
16:23even if the impeachment court finds him guilty.
16:25Removal from office
16:27and disqualification
16:29from holding any office
16:31under the Republic.
16:33That is the maximum.
16:35It is possible that
16:37even if they are convicted
16:39that they did not impose that maximum,
16:41they can just be scolded
16:43as a censure or reprimand.
16:47It is clear that
16:49the 19th Congress should start
16:51the impeachment trial
16:53before their term ends
16:55on June 30.
16:57If they haven't started yet
16:59and they started
17:01on the 20th Congress,
17:04I think there is a problem
17:06because
17:08it is possible that
17:10the congressmen
17:12who signed
17:14did not win again
17:16and the one-third
17:18is not complete.
17:20The law prohibits
17:21that there will be
17:23a new complaint
17:25within one year.
17:27For GMA Integrated News,
17:29Mav Gonzales,
17:31for Tutok, 24 hours.
