01:42We also followed up on the certain place where they left the items, but unfortunately, ma'am, it's not there anymore.
01:49One of the suspects was also arrested for stealing from a security guard.
01:56According to the police, the two arrested suspects are likely to be part of a larger group.
02:02Their usual target is...
02:04Usually, it's the loners.

02:13The suspects admitted to the crime.
02:16We did a hold-up. We stole snatching.
02:19We don't have money anymore.
02:21When we don't have a job, we don't know if we can make a living.
02:25That's why we did a hold-up.
02:27We need money, ma'am, for our expenses.
02:31Both of them are facing a robbery hold-up complaint.
02:34There's also a complaint of illegal possession of firearms and violation of the Omnibus Election Code.

08:35It would have been a mountain for the evil to come out but a camper received a punch from the hand of a man
08:44when he went to the campsite in Tanay Rizal.
08:47This is the story behind the viral video in Balitang Hatid by Oscar Oida.
09:00A group of people went camping in Tanay Rizal on Monday.
09:09The male staff of the campsite witnessed a 32-year-old man in a sedan.
09:17Who is this?
09:18Oh, this is a mountain?
09:19I'll break your head!
09:20Hey, brother, why are you hurting yourself?
09:23The male was hit by the evil spirit.
09:27Brother, what are you doing?
09:28When they go camping, they bring out the evil spirit.
09:33Okay, brother.
09:34You're a big nuisance.
09:36I'm a mountain.
09:39You're a big nuisance.
09:40You're a big nuisance.
09:41You're a big mountain.
09:42I said, why did you hurt me?
09:44I paid for it.
09:45We paid for it.
09:46We're your guests.
09:47Why are you hurting yourself?
09:48I was hitting him.
09:49I wasn't hitting him a lot because he was in his bed.
09:52That same day, the staff who was facing a slight physical injury was arrested.
09:59He refused to give a statement when we met him in the precinct.
10:03But when he explained to the police,
10:05It was early in the morning, around 6, more or less 6 a.m.
10:11Some were still sleeping.
10:13Other guests, their co-workers,
10:17the families who were near the campsite,
10:21they refused to give a statement.
10:24But why was Don shouting in the mountains?
10:28Don said that he was broken-hearted and the evil spirit was coming out.
10:33I was shouting.
10:34I said, it hurts.
10:36It hurts.
10:38They did this and that to me.
10:40I was really broken-hearted.
10:42I was really broken-hearted.
10:44I have a boyfriend.
10:45I was also stressed in life.
10:46I had a lot of problems.
10:47I was thinking a lot.
10:49That's why I was shouting my problems there.
10:52The leadership of the campsite asked for understanding and understanding.
10:57This is not how other people are.
11:00They also assured that this will not happen again.

15:26It's only been 88 days since the election of 2025.
15:29Five senatorial candidates were sent a notice by the Commission on Elections, or COMELEC,
15:34after their campaign materials were leaked.
15:39Here's the story of Sandra Aguinaldo.
15:46After their campaign materials were leaked,
15:49which were of incorrect size, not in the right place, and not biodegradable,
15:53COMELEC started sending notices to those who violated their regulations,
15:59including senatorial candidates who were not named.
16:03There were five senatorial candidates consistently in each region.
16:08We saw that initially they were violators.
16:12COMELEC stopped violating their regulations,
16:14but they will abuse the candidates who have three days to do so
16:19if they don't want to face election offense or disqualification.
16:23Those who are running for election were also warned
16:26against the syndicate that claims that the candidates can win.
16:30Three candidates were arrested for this service in exchange for P90 million.
16:37COMELEC said,
16:39someone else is manipulating the ballot using Invisible Ink.
16:44According to COMELEC, this is not true.
16:46There are more.
16:48I forwarded pictures to the National Bureau of Investigation.
16:50In Mindanao, two more women are running for election.
16:55There is also one in NCR.
16:57There is also one in Bisayas.
17:00We don't know yet if they are working together.
17:04Sandra Aguinaldo is reporting for GMA Integrated News.
17:09The former Agusan del Sur Representative, Rodolfo Plaza,
17:13was acquitted by the Sandigan Bayan Second Division.
17:16Janet Napoles is a businesswoman,
17:18as well as others in the case of Malversation of Public Funds at Graff.
17:22This is in connection with the misuse of P27.5 million
17:28of the Priority Development Assistance Fund of Plaza from 2008 to 2009.
17:33According to the decision,
17:35it was not proven that the issuance of the funds of Plaza
17:39to two non-government organizations was wrong,
17:41which were owned by Napoles.
17:42Napoles previously denied that he owned the so-called NGOs.
17:48Aside from Plaza and Napoles,
17:50some former officials of the Department of Budget and Management
17:55and two abolished state firms were also fired.
17:58Plaza was also fired on two counts of direct bribery
18:02because it was not proven that he received a commission,
18:06kickback or rebate
18:08as a consideration in choosing the relevant organizations.
18:12The two personalities have not yet made a statement on the decision.
18:16Napoles is facing more cases
18:19related to the pork barrel of other lawmakers.
18:22Senate President Chises Codero
18:25insisted that the impeachment trial against Vice President Sara Duterte
18:28will not be affected.
18:30If she is convicted by the Department of Justice,
18:32the NBI will file a complaint
18:35related to the statements of Vice President Sara Duterte
18:37against President Bongbong Marcos.
18:39Let's talk to John Consulta.
18:43If I was killed,
18:45kill BBM,
18:47Lisa Araneta,
18:49and Martin Romales. No joke.
18:52No joke.
18:54Almost three months after Vice President Sara Duterte
18:57released this statement
18:59in a virtual press conference,
19:01the National Bureau of Investigation filed a complaint
19:05against DOJ
19:06in citing the sedition and grave threats.
19:09We believe that
19:11the evidence we filed is enough.
19:13The ball is in DOJ now.
19:16They will determine
19:18if they will conduct a preliminary investigation
19:22and later,
19:24file a case in court.
19:26The NBI insisted
19:28that they are looking for a person
19:30appointed by the Vice President
19:32that he talked to,
19:34but they were not able to find him.
19:36The NBI hired Vice President Duterte
19:38to give a statement,
19:40but it was not included in the report.
19:42We are political,
19:44straightforward.
19:46We did not order or dictate
19:48what should be done in the case.
19:50The results of our investigation
19:53are based on
19:55our evidence.
19:57Once,
19:59the NBI said
20:01that they did not release an assassination threat
20:03against President Bongbong Marcos.
20:04The DOJ signed
20:06that they accepted the NBI's complaint.
20:08It will be included
20:10in the preliminary investigation
20:12of the National Prosecution Service.
20:14Vice President Duterte said
20:16that he is expecting this.
20:18According to the DOJ,
20:20in the crime of grave threat,
20:22the Supreme Court said
20:24that the intention behind the statement is important.
20:26Even if the threat is not scary,
20:28the important thing
20:30is that the statement
20:32has a scary intention.
20:34The Supreme Court also said
20:36that it is not in the cloud of protection
20:38of free speech
20:40that the statements
20:42of threats of violence or rebellion.
20:44The violence should not be actual
20:46as long as the statement
20:48is about the intention
20:50of the threat of chaos.
20:52The observers said
20:54that the prosecutors will study
20:56based on the evidence provided.
20:58If the DOJ's case is a vice case,
21:00there is no effect
21:02on the impeachment
21:04process.
21:06It can be continued at the same time,
21:08it can be first,
21:10it can be followed.
21:12The Senate is now drafting
21:14what will be the new impeachment rules.
21:16According to Senate President Jesus Guterrero,
21:18the plan now is
21:20for the Senate to finish
21:22the election on May 12
21:24and the State of the Nation Address
21:26of President Marcos on July 21,
21:28more than five months
21:30before the SONA.
21:32That's why the retired Supreme Court
21:34will not allow
21:36the impeachment of the 19th Congress
21:38in Visay.
21:57It will not happen
21:59depending on the action of the Senate
22:01that the impeachment court will be established.
22:04The Senate has already acquired
22:06jurisdiction
22:08because jurisdiction once acquired
22:10is not law.
22:35It is up to us
22:37to answer the questions
22:39and ask for the support
22:41of the prosecution.
22:43John Consulta
22:45reporting for GMA Integrated News.
22:55Of the more than 300 members
22:57of the House of Representatives
22:59or CAMRA,
23:0120% were elected
23:02based on the 1987 Constitution
23:04that they should have
23:06an integrated sector of society
23:08like the workers,
23:10the poor,
23:12indigenous cultural communities,
23:14women, youth, and others.
23:16But after almost three decades,
23:18there was a change
23:20following the decision of the Supreme Court.
23:22The nominee of the running party list
23:24does not need to come from the same sector.
23:27He can also be a nominee
23:29as long as he is a member of the party list
23:30and has an organization
23:32or track record of advocacy
23:34for the chosen sector that he will represent.
23:36According to the election watchdog group,
23:38Contra Daya,
23:40more than half of the 156 candidate groups
23:42in the election of 2025
23:44do not belong to the poor
23:46or marginalized sector.
23:49More than 25% of the party list
23:51have a nominee
23:53from the political dynasty.
23:5525% have connections
23:57to large businesses.
23:59There are also nominees
24:01who have connections to the police or military.
24:03There are also those
24:05who have dubious advocacy
24:07or are involved in trust cases.
24:12It's a big number to be worried about.
24:14In fact, I can even argue
24:16that even if it's just one,
24:18the political clan,
24:20it's still a big issue
24:22because our party list system
24:24should be for the marginalized
24:26and underrepresented.
24:28The scrutiny measures
24:30on who,
24:32which party list to accredit,
24:34I hope that the commissioners
24:36will also think about it.
24:38According to the election watchdog group,
24:40they are already holding their hands
24:42because of the Supreme Court's decision
24:44and party list law.
24:48That's why we have a period
24:50where a person,
24:52a group,
24:54a registered voter
24:56can file a petition
24:58to launch or cancel
25:00a nomination.
25:02Unfortunately,
25:04we still don't have an anti-political dynasty law
25:06in the Philippines.
25:08In spite of the party list system,
25:10we should still remember
25:12that the original intention
25:14of this election
25:16is to be the voice
25:18of the marginalized
25:20and underrepresented.

26:43in Brangay Puntud
26:45in Cagayan de Oro City.
26:47According to the victim's mother,
26:49she was able to see her son
26:51drinking on the side of the road
26:53near their house.
26:55According to the police,
26:56they were not able
26:58to verify the information.
27:00The victim and his girlfriend
27:02tried to ask the victim
27:04before they jumped into the river.
27:06The police are still trying
27:08to get the testimony
27:10of the escaped ex-girlfriend
27:12who was also with the couple
27:14when the incident happened.
27:18A police staff sergeant
27:20who has been working
27:22in General Santos City
27:24for almost 10 years
27:26filed a complaint
27:28against the suspect
27:30after he asked
27:32the wife of a prisoner
27:34for P10,000
27:36in exchange for a quick process
27:38to release his mister.
27:40The suspect did not comment
27:42on the allegations.

27:54of a senior citizen
27:56in Cebu City
27:58was involved in a robbery.
28:00According to the investigation,
28:02the victim was walking
28:04on the side of the road
28:06when the crime happened.
28:08After he was reported to the police,
28:10the suspects were caught immediately.
28:12They got their money back
28:14but their pendants were gone.
28:16The police also recovered
28:18the motorcycle used in the crime,
28:20a gun, bullets,
28:22and a pocket knife.
28:24The suspect was arrested
28:26and sentenced to death.
28:34Maybe the names
28:36for their baby boy
28:38are already on the minds
28:40of the soon-to-be parents
28:42of Megan Young and Mikael Daez.
28:44Johnny!
28:46Daez!
28:50On TikTok,
28:52they shared their moments
28:54and names for their baby boy.
28:56Mikael has references
28:58of basketball players
29:00like Yanis Antetokounmpo,
29:02Russell Westbrook,
29:04and Jordan Clarkson.
29:06Megan has the names
29:08of K-pop stars
29:10like BTS member Jin
29:12and Hoshi of SEVENTEEN.
29:14Why not Mikael Jr.?
29:16The final name?
29:18Let's wait for it soon!
29:22Let's update on the issue
29:24of pecking PWDID
29:26and the unified planning
29:28of the PWDID system.
29:30Let's talk to Atty. Walter Jason Alava,
29:32Concurrent Regional Programs Coordinator
29:34and Officer-in-Charge,
29:36Legislative License Officer
29:38of the National Council
29:40on Disability Affairs.
29:42Good morning and welcome
29:44to Balitang Hali.
29:46Good morning, sir.
29:48What is the plan of the NCDA
29:50to stop the pecking of PWDID
29:51in the Philippines?
29:53Actually, sir,
29:55the move together with
29:57DSWD and other members
29:59of the NCDA council
30:01is to provide a unified ID
30:03for all over the Philippines
30:05because fake IDs are increasing.
30:07Now, we are talking
30:09with other LGUs
30:11through our persons
30:13with disability affairs offices
30:15for awareness
30:17on the verification.
30:19At the same time,
30:21what are the safeguards
30:23with regard to our ID system?
30:25How is the process
30:27of filing for a qualified
30:29PWDID?
30:31Okay, sir.
30:33Based on our laws,
30:35specifically the MAGNA CARTA
30:37or RA-7277
30:39as amended by Republic Act 9442
30:41and another amendment
30:43by Republic Act 10754,
30:45we have 10 types
30:46of disabilities
30:48that are listed.
30:50So once you are there
30:52with the 10 types
30:54of disability,
30:56with your disability certificate
30:58from our specific medical doctors
31:00in our specific disability,
31:02we will be able to give
31:04the IDs of our LGUs
31:06through the persons
31:08with disability affairs office.
31:10And then we have a form
31:12that will be filled up
31:14and then we will just give
31:16the IDs of our persons
31:18with disability
31:20identification cards.
31:22As early as 30 minutes,
31:24they will be able
31:26to get their IDs.
31:28You mentioned validation.
31:30Have you talked to the DOH
31:32about the possible changes
31:34regarding the distribution
31:36of PWDID?
31:38Because there are reports
31:40that the ID is valid
31:42but not in the DOH database.
31:44Yes, sir.
31:46We are the National Council
31:48on Disability Affairs.
31:50We are the NCDA,
31:52we are the Secretariat
31:54of the Council.
31:56And then what we do
31:58is policy development.
32:00So when it comes
32:02to our policies
32:04with regard to the verification
32:06that they are using
32:08the Philippine Registry
32:10for Persons with Disability,
32:12we have statements
32:14regarding
32:16the verification.
32:18Because our PRPWD
32:20is not 100%
32:22verifiable
32:24in terms of IDs.
32:26The advice
32:28in terms of verification
32:30is to go to the issuer.
32:32Our issuers are the LGUs.
32:34LGUs, yes.
32:36The persons with disability
32:38affairs offices.
32:40How is the coordination
32:42with the establishments?
32:44Because sometimes
32:46the persons with disability
32:48cannot be seen.
32:50That's what the PWD IDs
32:52are looking for.
32:54That's right, sir.
32:56What we did
32:58together with our stakeholders
33:00is we had a meeting
33:02and then we talked
33:04to them
33:06that by law
33:08it is mandated to really provide
33:10the privileges
33:12of our persons with disability.
33:14And then when there is glaring
33:16in their IDs
33:18that it is fake
33:20because we have a template
33:22that we provide to NCDA
33:24that we call
33:26NCDA Admissive Order No. 1 Series
33:28of 2021.
33:30There is a template
33:32of what it looks like
33:34or what is included in our IDs.
33:36When we see that it is really glaring
33:38that it is not included
33:40in the template,
33:42that's when we verify.
33:44And we advise
33:46and then a little help
33:48in our PRPWD
33:50but if we don't see it
33:52in our PRPWD,
33:54it is better to contact
33:56the LGU issuing the ID
33:58for verification.
34:00And that is the beauty
34:02of a PWD ID that is unified.
34:04What is the stage of this?
34:06Can the target reach
34:08the schedule of pilot testing?
34:10You are right, sir.
34:12The unified ID is a solution
34:14to open the fake IDs.
34:16Our unified ID
34:18with our partnership
34:20with our mother agency
34:22DSWD
34:24is already in the prototyping stage
34:26and then we are fixing
34:28the processing
34:30on how to
34:32comply
34:34with the output
34:36or the operations
34:38of our prototype.
34:40But with regard
34:42to the timeline,
34:44we are very hopeful
34:46but rest assured
34:48that the prototyping
34:50is a study
34:52so we hope to support
34:54our LGUs
34:56so that our unified ID
34:58will be successful
35:00and again,
35:02we can open the fake IDs.
35:04This is a good program
35:06for PWDs.
35:08But it also has a big effect
35:10on small businesses.
35:12Thank you very much.
35:14Thank you, sir Rafi.
35:17This is it.
35:19How is the love life
35:21of Filipinos?
35:23Are there many happy
35:25and passionate Filipinos?
35:27According to the survey
35:29of social weather stations,
35:31the number of Filipinos
35:33who are happy is decreasing.
35:35Only 46% are very happy
35:37which is the lowest
35:39in the last two decades.
35:4136% said
35:43they could be happier
35:44or they could be happier
35:46in their love life
35:48while 18% said
35:50they don't have a love life.
35:52In December 2024,
35:54a personal assessment survey
35:56was conducted
35:58with more than 2,000 respondents.
36:00It has a margin of error
36:02of plus or minus 2%.
36:04In terms of relationships,
36:06which one will you choose?
36:08Can you just live in
36:10or should you get married?
36:12The answer of the woman
36:14is yes.
36:17Some said
36:19if you love someone,
36:21you should get married.
36:23But that's not the style
36:25of today's generation.
36:27Faye and Jeff
36:29have been living in
36:31for 10 years.
36:33They chose to get married
36:35in 2015
36:37after 3 years of being in love.
36:39They say
36:41you won't know
36:42if you're not married.
36:44If you're married
36:46and something happens,
36:48you won't be able to leave
36:50because there's a role
36:52tied to you.
36:54But that doesn't mean
36:56they take for granted
36:58each other.
37:00We also committed
37:02to get married
37:04that you will commit
37:06yourself.
37:08The church
37:10doesn't have a base yet.
37:12In terms of population
37:14and development in 2022,
37:16the number of women
37:18aged 15 to 49
37:20who live in with their partner
37:22is higher than those who got married.
37:24From 5% in 1993,
37:2619% in 2022.
37:28The number of women
37:30who got married
37:32from 54% in 1993
37:34to 36% in 2022
37:36decreased.
37:38According to an anthropologist,
37:39this is a new thing for Filipinos
37:41when it comes to the concept of family
37:43since the 1990s.
37:45The mobility of Filipinos now
37:47is not like the traditional
37:49society of Filipinos
37:51where there's a house.
37:53They're just at home
37:55but now they're both working.
37:57A lot of them are mixed up
37:59so they can be okay now
38:01but tomorrow,
38:03it's not okay.
38:05Those who live in still want
38:07to get married.
38:09Of course.
38:11Who doesn't want to get married?
38:13I'll marry her.
38:15But the Catholic Church
38:17says that it should be done
38:19as soon as possible
38:21especially if they've been together
38:23for a long time.
38:25Living together,
38:27there's an over-reliance
38:29on sexual expression
38:31instead of
38:33deepening their relationship
38:35through conversation
38:37and communication.
38:39Some are like those
38:41who don't have good experiences
38:43in life with their spouse.
38:45The best way to prepare
38:47for a lasting relationship
38:49especially in marriage
38:51is the best preparation.
38:53It's important that God
38:55is the center of the union
38:57so they won't be separated.

39:01The Commission on Elections
39:03has prioritized
39:05inspection and verification
39:07of the printed envelopes
39:09that will be used
39:11in the election of 2025.
39:13Let's talk to Sandra Aguinaldo
39:15of Ulat on the Spot.
39:17Sandra?
39:21Rafi,
39:23Comelec has shown
39:25the extension of their
39:27verification area
39:29here at the Amoranto Sports Complex
39:31According to
39:33Comelec Chairman,
39:35George Erwin Garcia,
39:3727 million envelopes
39:39are being printed
39:41but only 3 to 4 million
39:43have been verified.
39:45This means that even if
39:47printing is fast,
39:49the speed of verification
39:51is not consistent.
39:53Manual and machine
39:55verification is done.
39:57The envelopes are checked
39:59by a verifier
40:01in the machine
40:03but not in the eyes
40:05of the verifier.
40:07Even if it's a piece of dirt
40:09or a smudge of ink on the envelopes,
40:11it's not passed
40:13by manual verification.
40:15Comelec added more than 200
40:17verifiers and they are
40:19the ones in Amoranto.
40:21There are also verifiers
40:23in the National Printing Office
40:25and they are there day and night shift.
40:27Comelec said that they will still
40:29reach their April 14 deadline.
40:31Comelec also said that
40:33they are still in the process
40:35of allocating
40:37sure wins to politicians
40:39who are willing to pay
40:41millions.
40:43Comelec said that they are
40:45already discussing this
40:47with the NBI.
40:49There is also a former
40:51Comelec employee
40:53who has not been
40:55in Comelec for 17 years
40:57and they are still
40:59investigating this.
41:01So, in Amoranto
41:03or in the NPO,
41:05there will be a total
41:07of 2 million ballots
41:09verified every day.
41:11That's all for now
41:13from Amoranto.
41:15Thank you very much,
41:17Sandra Aguinaldo.

44:59A family has an outing
45:01in Nueva Ecija
45:03but there's a scene.
45:05An adventurous
45:07fur baby
45:09compared to a car.
45:11What can that baby do?
45:13It can do
45:15in a dusty area
45:17and even in the river.
45:19It's really wide.
45:21That's the 4x4
45:23that can be used
45:25in the city.
45:26That's the 4x4
45:28that can be used
45:30by Oakley.
45:32But I think it's a lower version
45:34because it's 4 feet
45:36and 4 inches in size.
45:38But broom broom always
45:40when it comes to
45:42fancy adventures.
45:44Oakley is always a plus one
45:46wherever the Salazar family goes.
45:48The video in the river
45:50has 1.1 million views.
