NewsTranscript
00:00More than 24 hours of traffic in Enlex because of a truck that hit the Marilao Interchange Bridge.
00:10The latest traffic situation was reported live by Oscar Oida. Oscar.
00:16Yes, Mel, this is the result of the incident that happened here in Enlex, Marilao.
00:26Throughout yesterday, the traffic was very heavy.
00:34It was 6 in the morning earlier.
00:36The traffic was very slow in the northbound lane of the North Luzon Expressway.
00:42The accident still happened under the Marilao Interchange Bridge, where a trailer truck hit the so-called bridge.
00:50As of now, the two lanes under the affected part of the bridge are still closed.
01:00That part of the bridge has a shoring, a support, that's why the lanes are still closed.
01:08The repair of the bridge is already underway.
01:12According to the head of Enlex, one and a half to two hours were added to the travel time in the area.
01:19This is even though there is a counterflow in some parts of the southbound lane.
01:24The slow moving traffic is around 10 to 15 kph.
01:29I think roughly another one to one and a half hours will be added in this area.
01:37If it really slows down, we can see that two hours will be added.
01:43In the traffic area, others just use the highway.
01:48The so-called nature is just there.
01:51While some pass through the rough road easily.
01:57From Quezon City, it took us less than three hours to reach Marilao,
02:04where we saw that the repair of the bridge is already underway.
02:09That's what we're ensuring.
02:12That's why we need to repair it immediately so that the repair can be done faster.
02:17We need to close the lanes under the bridge so that in two to three weeks,
02:22or right before Holy Week, where we expect our motorists to cross to the north,
02:29and when they return to Manila, the bridge will be repaired and all lanes will be open.
02:36The road was hit and it is still open.
02:40However, only one lane is passable.
02:43Early in the morning on Wednesday,
02:46an endless trailer truck carrying a tanker was passing by when it hit the road of Marilao.
02:52It has a vertical clearance of 4.27 meters.
02:55The road has a restriction of 4.27 meters only.
03:01Vertical clearance is allowed to enter that portion.
03:05But the truck is more than 4.27 meters.
03:10So it crossed the limit.
03:12The impact was so strong that the driver's wife jumped out of the truck.
03:19She was about to transfer to the backseat.
03:23When she was about to transfer, she jumped out of the truck.
03:30The driver's wife jumped out of the truck.
03:35The driver was already held by the Marilao Police
03:38and was facing reckless imprudence resulting in damage to property.
03:43I didn't eat anything. I just asked for a repair.
03:46I was already full.
03:47When I arrived at Marilao, I was already full.
03:55That's when it hit the road.
03:58Do you know that you were overtaken by a 4.2 meter truck?
04:01I don't know. I was not able to measure it.
04:03But this accident was followed by another one.
04:07That's why two trucks hit the road.
04:10The NLECs did their best to reduce the vertical clearance in the area following the road asphalt.
04:19The clearance height of the bridge and our pavement is maintained at 4.5 meters.
04:27That's why we can't...
04:29Asphalt needs to be laid one by one.
04:32When there's a repair, what they do is they fix the damaged pavement
04:37so that the pavement can be laid.
04:41In the roads here in the NLECs,
04:43they are allowed to pass through alternative routes to avoid traffic.
04:52Meanwhile, Mel, it's noteworthy that during this time,
04:55the lanes that were closed earlier were reopened to give way to construction.
05:03Vehicles are allowed to pass through the proposed lanes,
05:06but it is expected that when the number of vehicles decreases,
05:10they will be closed again to give way to the repair of the damaged pavement.
05:17Mel?
05:18Thank you very much, Oscar Oida.
05:22The wife of a senior citizen and their son were killed in a fire that broke out in Tondo, Manila.
05:28A fire also broke out in Castle City.
05:30Their house was burned down.
05:32Joseph Morong was the victim.
05:37The firefighters in Tondo, Manila suffered a lot from the fire.
05:42It happened earlier this afternoon.
05:44Eighteen families and more than 50 individuals were affected by the fire
05:48that burned down six houses.
05:50More than three people lost their lives.
05:54The wife of a senior citizen aged 70 and 78
05:57and their 45-year-old son were also affected.
06:00A fire volunteer was also injured in a fire that broke out in Paleta
06:03and three others were also injured.
06:05In Quezon City,
06:08this fire spread when it was discovered that their house in Barangay Bagong Pagasa was on fire.
06:19According to the victim, Lucia left her house for a meeting in the barangay.
06:24She's gone.
06:27In this video, you can clearly see how the houses made of light materials caught fire.
06:33Almost none of these were left.
06:35The fire reached the first alarm that lasted for almost an hour.
06:39Two were injured.
06:40We heard a bang.
06:42When we went outside, our house was already on fire.
06:46Our origin is electrical.
06:48Our origin is in the second floor of the light materials.
06:52The BFP also found out the exact number of houses that were destroyed
06:56and the number of affected residents.
06:58The investigation of the separate fire continues.
07:01For GMA Integrated News, Joseph Morong,
07:04it lasted 24 hours.
07:10Their recent trip to Europe became extra memorable for Derek Monasterio and El Villanueva.
07:16But it's not just because of happy moments,
07:19but because of an unforgettable accident.
07:22Let's talk to Larson Tiago.
07:28Magical!
07:29For Derek Monasterio and El Villanueva,
07:33their first Europe tour started on Valentine's Day in Iceland.
07:39The two even shared a sweet kiss while watching the Northern Lights.
07:45From Iceland
07:47to Italy.
07:49And Switzerland,
07:51where Aliyun Bin and Sonia Jin met at one of the locations of the hit K-drama,
07:58Crash Landing on You.
08:01Derek and El's trip to the Swiss Alps was also breathtaking,
08:06where they rode a cable car.
08:09But El's happy tour came to an end
08:13while he was taking a picture of Derek.
08:19He slid down the mountain.
08:2115 seconds of sliding down
08:23without knowing if he would stop or not.
08:26Because it was so foggy, we couldn't see the bottom.
08:30I was also thinking,
08:31if I'm going down, will I follow him?
08:33Because if I follow him,
08:35I won't be able to ask for help.
08:37El stopped rolling
08:39when he reached a flat area of the mountain.
08:44Thank God,
08:46he landed on a flat surface.
08:48And there was a way for me to go back.
08:52It was far.
08:53I had to walk.
08:54When he went down,
08:56I followed him.
08:57I also slid down.
08:59But I did it slowly.
09:01I was in control.
09:03He was like a snowball.
09:05I slid down slowly.
09:09Then I jumped 10 feet.
09:11Because it was like a plateau.
09:13When he reached El,
09:16it was like he was laughing.
09:18He couldn't process what happened.
09:21That made me feel light.
09:25Because he took it lightly.
09:27So did I.
09:29But when we reached the van,
09:31I was crying.
09:33Because, my God,
09:34that was the moment.
09:36That was the moment.
09:38That incident
09:40was captured by the camera
09:42that El dropped.
09:44While Derrick was sharing
09:46his scary experience of El
09:49in the media conference
09:51of his new series, S.L.A.Y.,
09:53Sparkle Actor was still able to see
09:56the fear and anxiety.
09:58He spent many days
10:00in that incident
10:02when he almost lost
10:04his beloved woman.
10:08That moment really made me realize
10:12life is short.
10:14Don't take life for granted.
10:18War Santiago,
10:20updated on the latest showbiz happenings.
10:24Make sure that your dentist
10:26is licensed.
10:28If it's cheap,
10:30you might end up in danger
10:32in a dental procedure
10:34like what the suspect
10:36in Cotabato is doing.
10:41What do you call that?
10:42Whiting.
10:43Whiting.
10:44Dental cleaning
10:45on the side of the river.
10:46That's what the PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group
10:49discovered
10:50when they were doing
10:51an intrepid operation
10:52in Cotabato City.
10:53And the person doing the cleaning
10:55was a pecking dentist.
10:57What he didn't know
10:58was that the police
10:59were the ones cleaning.
11:00At least, the pin won't be white.
11:03After the cleaning,
11:04the pecking dentist
11:05was supposed to put braces.
11:07This is where the other police
11:09came out.
11:10Yes, we arrested
11:11illegal practice dentistry.
11:14The list of licensed dentists
11:16of the Philippine Dental Association
11:18does not include the suspect.
11:19According to the investigation,
11:20this is the assistant
11:21of a real dentist
11:23before he started
11:24doing dental services
11:25on social media.
11:27The dental services that he offers
11:30include cleaning
11:32and putting braces.
11:35This is priced at Php1,000.
11:38It includes the materials,
11:40labor.
11:41Aside from the price,
11:42there's also a discount
11:44for those who have
11:45already pecked
11:46by a pecking dentist.
11:47The patients who posted
11:49on his social media account
11:51and touched his hands
11:52are proven.
11:53What we also saw
11:54during the operation
11:55was the hygiene
11:57of the fake dentist
12:00who was just sterilizing
12:02the equipment
12:03in hot water
12:04that a dentist
12:05shouldn't do.
12:09The suspect is facing
12:10a complaint of violation
12:11of the Philippine Dental Act of 2007
12:14under the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012.
12:17We are still trying
12:18to get the suspect's statement.
12:20According to a dentist,
12:22many bad things can happen
12:24if the patient
12:25trusts his teeth
12:26to the wrong person.
12:28Possibly,
12:29their patients
12:30are infected
12:31with diseases
12:32from other people
12:34or they are not infected.
12:37Aside from the arrested suspect,
12:39there are also other
12:40pecking dentists online
12:41who are monitored
12:42by the PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group.
12:44They will tell the public
12:45that they will have doubts
12:47if the service is too cheap.
12:49For GMA Integrated News,
12:51I'm Jun Veneracion,
12:5224 Hours.
12:55Even though the defense team
12:57is working hard
12:59for former President
13:00Rodrigo Duterte,

13:26to the father
13:27of former President
13:28Rodrigo Duterte

13:33that today
13:34or later tonight,
13:36actually,
13:37at this time here in The Hague,
13:38another foreign lawyer
13:40will arrive
13:42whom she will talk to
13:44and interview
13:45to be part
13:46of the defense team.
13:48He will be the co-counsel
13:51of Attorney Nicholas Kaufman
13:55and the target of the defense team
13:57is to complete this
13:58within a week.
14:04Former President Rodrigo Duterte
14:06and his lead counsel
14:08Nicholas Kaufman
14:09have already started
14:10to talk about
14:11how to win
14:12in the case of
14:13Crimes Against Humanity
14:14for Murder
14:15in the International
14:16Criminal Court
14:17or ICC.
14:18According to Attorney Kaufman,
14:19they will work
14:20with Duterte
14:21in his second visit
14:22to the former president
14:23in the ICC Detention Cell
14:25here in The Netherlands.
14:27I'm going to instruct him
14:28on the nature of the case
14:29against him
14:30and he's going to tell me
14:31how to fight it
14:32and to win it.
14:33Kaufman will tell
14:34who will be
14:35part of the legal team.
14:37Former Vice President
14:38Sara Duterte
14:39said that
14:40they will be
14:41foreign nationals.
14:42I'm not commenting
14:43on the name
14:44of the counsel
14:45in any way whatsoever.
14:47That doesn't mean
14:48that I'm approving
14:49or disapproving
14:50of any nomination
14:51or any name
14:52that you're mentioning.
14:53The announcement
14:54will be made
14:55in due course.
14:56However,
14:57Kaufman said
14:58that he's still
14:59consulting
15:00Filipino lawyers.
15:01I'm already taking
15:02a case like this.
15:03I have to
15:04in a case like this.
15:05There is an essential
15:06element of any case
15:07of the International
15:08Criminal Court
15:09that there is a need
15:10for foreign lawyers.
15:11So there will definitely
15:12be involvement
15:13of Filipino lawyers.
15:14I need them.
15:15Kaufman also said
15:16that he's already
15:17consulting Duterte
15:18on the nature
15:19of the case
15:20Crimes Against Humanity.
15:21Aside from this,
15:22Kaufman doesn't want
15:23to give other details
15:24on how they will
15:25defend Duterte
15:26in the confirmation
15:27of charges hearing
15:28on September 23.
15:29However,
15:30one of the things
15:31that's important
15:32is how Duterte
15:33was arrested
15:34this March
15:35and flown here
15:36to the Hague.
15:37Everybody saw
15:38what happened to him
15:39when he returned
15:40to the Philippines,
15:41was put onto a plane
15:42and thrown over here.
15:43So you will be filing
15:44for interim release?
15:45I'm not going
15:46to divulge
15:47defense strategy.
15:48Indirect co-perpetrator
15:49is Duterte's
15:50warrant of arrest
15:51that the ICC
15:52issued
15:53in the murder
15:54case
15:55as a crime
15:56against humanity.
15:58Meanwhile,
15:59Mel,
16:00the additional
16:01information
16:02that Vice President
16:03Sara Duterte
16:04gave us
16:05is that
16:06her father
16:07was transferred
16:08to a regular
16:09detention facility.
16:10He is no longer
16:11in the hospital
16:12part of the facility.
16:13And his sugar
16:14is controlled.
16:15Four times
16:16a day,
16:17his sugar
16:18is checked
16:19and other
16:20medications
16:21are also
16:22checked.
16:23So,
16:24this is a
16:25case
16:26that
16:27is
16:28being
16:29investigated
16:30and
16:31investigated
16:32by the
16:33ICC.
16:34And
16:35the other
16:36vital signs
16:37are that
16:38they are
16:39fine.
16:40The past
16:41hours,
16:42former President
16:43Rodrigo Duterte
16:44was watching
16:45TV,
16:46but when
16:47he was asked
16:48to watch
16:49international
16:50news that
16:51he likes to
16:52watch,
16:53he was not
16:54able to
16:55It is said to be having a hard time because the view is foggy and it is said to be suffering from the pain of the earthquake.
17:01So that's the latest.
17:02Still here in The Hague, Netherlands.
17:04Back to you, Mel.
17:05Thank you very much.
17:06Mani Zumani!
17:12My fellow countrymen!
17:13It's almost time to say goodbye to the cold wind that will give way to the upcoming start of the warm and dry season.
17:20It is said that the weather in Luzon is getting worse.
17:24It is possible that on Monday, it will slowly recede until it will no longer affect the country.
17:31That is also what the wind map of Metro Weather is showing.
17:34We will be watching the forecasted weather for the next few days.
17:39Despite the absence of heat, the cold winds are still being felt in some parts of the country.
17:43Most of the highest heat indexes are in Mindanao, where it is possible to reach 40 and 41 degrees Celsius.
17:51Based on the data of Metro Weather, there is a high chance of rain in Cagayan Valley, Cordillera, Southern Luzon, Bicol Region, Visayas, and Mindanao.
17:59There is a high possibility of flooding or landslides in Metro Manila.
18:04If there is rain, it may be temporary.
18:08It will be difficult and dangerous to travel in the eastern part of Southern Luzon and Visayas.
18:13Meanwhile, today is March 20, the so-called March Equinox or Vernal Equinox.
18:20According to the forecast, the sun is directly facing the equator, so the time of day and night in the whole world is almost the same.
18:38.
