NewsTranscript
00:00The Department of Justice, which was denied by the Court of Appeal of Timor-Leste,
00:05refused the extradition request against the former Negros Oriental representative Arnie Tevez.
00:10The DOJ was surprised by this, especially since the court approved the extradition twice,
00:15in June and December of 2024.
00:18The DOJ asked for clarification from the court.
00:22The government said that all legal remedies can be done.
00:26Tevez is facing murder charges for the murder of the former Negros Oriental Governor Roel Degamo
00:32and many others in 2023.
00:35Tevez previously denied that he was responsible for the murder of Degamo.
00:39Tevez's lawyer called the court's decision in Timor-Leste that the rule of law was successful.
00:47A man was arrested after he was hit with a screwdriver in Zamboaga City.
00:52And in Bulacan, he was robbed by a motorcycle.
00:54The 15-year-old man was injured by a riding in tandem.
00:59Witness, Bea Pinlac.
01:09The man's scream was heard loudly on Tuesday night in Barangay Caipian in San Jose del Monte, Bulacan.
01:15The man was bleeding after he was hit by a riding in tandem.
01:20Before that, the CCTV caught the 15-year-old man who was riding a motorcycle.
01:27He was followed by two men who were also riding a motorcycle.
01:30Later, he was blocked by these men.
01:33He fell down and was stabbed by a gun before his motorcycle was hit.
01:39The victim was stabbed in the side and firstly, his motorcycle was hit.
01:47The two suspects ran away while riding a motorcycle.
01:51This is where the victim ran to ask for help.
01:55According to his mother, she ordered the victim to cash in her e-wallet in the store.
02:02After 10 minutes, he shouted at the gate,
02:06Mommy, mommy, help. I was stabbed and was hold up.
02:09The motorcycle, mommy, he took the motorcycle.
02:12I told him not to speak. It's okay, it's just a motorcycle. As long as you're alive.
02:16The victim told the police that he noticed that the suspects were playing when he was still in the store.
02:23After he cashed in, he went to the basketball court to watch the game.
02:29He thought that those who followed him were also going to the court to watch the game.
02:34The victim recovered from the hospital after he was stabbed in the side.
02:38The justice is calling for his family.
02:42I feel sorry for the child. My child is so thin.
02:45He didn't fight. He was given a motorcycle. Why did you have to stab him?
02:49The PNP is continuously targeting the suspects who may face carnapping and frustrated homicide charges.
03:00It seems that two men were patrolling the side of the road in Zamboanga City.
03:05The man in black with a baton was being chased by another man with a knife.
03:12They ran until the man in black fell off the road.
03:16He was caught here and was stabbed in the head when they were chasing him.
03:20According to the PNP, the suspect used a screwdriver to stab him, but they still don't know the reason.
03:27When he confronted them, he stabbed him with a screwdriver.
03:36He didn't know that he was stabbed with a screwdriver.
03:39But before that, the suspect has another victim.
03:43According to the police, he was also stabbed by a man when he tried to steal his cell phone.
03:49The victim recovered from the head injury.
03:52The suspect is now in jail and may face frustrated homicide charges.
03:57He hasn't given a statement yet.
03:59GMA Integrated News is still trying to get the statement of the victims.
04:05For GMA Integrated News, I am Bea Pinlac, your witness.
04:12Vice President Sara Duterte decided to apply for legal aid in the ICC for her case against former President Rodrigo Duterte.
04:19The ICC pre-trial chamber will decide how to arrest the former President according to her lead counsel.
04:26And from The Hague, Netherlands, please welcome Mariz Uman.
04:32Mariz?
04:35Pia, on the third occasion, Vice President Sara Duterte visited her father, former President Rodrigo Duterte, here in Scriveningan Prison.
04:46And according to her, her father was transferred to a regular detention facility.
04:51His father is no longer in the hospital part of the facility.
04:56According to her, her father's condition is controlled.
05:00The sugar is monitored four times a day by former President Rodrigo Duterte.
05:07Other vital signs are fine, but the pain of the knee is still being monitored.
05:13The former President said that he will spend hours watching television.
05:17Vice President Sara said that her mother, Elizabeth Zimmerman, will come here to visit the former President.
05:28My mother is coming.
05:33When?
05:36But they already got the Schengen Visas.
05:39My mother already has the Schengen Visas.
05:46I think she decided last night that she will come here.
05:52Whether or not she can enter, she will come.
05:55Attorney Nicholas Kaufman said that an interim release is possible in due time.
06:02He asked if they will ask for free assistance or service from the OPCD or Office of Public Counsel for the Defense.
06:10Here is the statement of Attorney Kaufman.
06:16There's no need for the OPCD. I think that's the unit you're referring to.
06:20That's right.
06:22They're a very important unit at this court, but they provide logistic assistance, administrative assistance,
06:26but they don't provide substantive assistance to any team at the court, whether it be legally aided or privately funded.
06:35It's pointless for me to harbor feelings about what happened.
06:43I can't bring President Duterte back to the Philippines.
06:53Vice President Sara Duterte asked about this at her virtual conference
06:58about how she feels about National Security Advisor Eduardo Año,
07:01who was part of the Cabinet of the former President Rodrigo Duterte.
07:05She said that he was part of the core group that planned to arrest the former President,
07:10something that Año rejected.
07:12So what we should do as a country is move on from what happened.
07:20What will we do as our ways forward as a country and as a people from what happened?
07:31Despite this, their field continues to find ways to bring Año back to the Philippines.
07:38Yesterday, the former President's lead counsel, Atty. Nicholas Kaufman,
07:42said that one of their plans in the pre-trial chamber 1 is to arrest Duterte.
07:47Everybody saw what happened to him when he returned to the Philippines,
07:52was put onto a plane and thrown over here.
07:56So you will be filing for interim release?
08:00I'm not going to divulge defense strategy.
08:02Indirect co-perpetrator is Duterte in the warrant of arrest issued by the ICC
08:08in the murder case as a crime against humanity.
08:11Duterte was already pissed off by the nature of the case he was facing
08:14when he brought it again yesterday to the ICC Detention Center.
08:18Aside from this, Kaufman did not want to give further details
08:21on how Duterte will defend himself in the confirmation of charges hearing on September 23.
08:26Kaufman still does not want to say who will be part of the legal team,
08:31but he is still consulting Filipino lawyers.
08:34I'm already taking advice from Filipino lawyers. I have to in a case like this.
08:38There is an essential element of any case of the International Criminal Court
08:42that there is a need for foreign lawyers.
08:44So there will definitely be involvement of Filipino lawyers. I need them.
08:49According to Vice President Duterte,
08:50there is another foreign lawyer he will talk to and interview
08:53to be added to the legal team of the former President.
08:57They are also thinking of applying for legal aid in the ICC.
09:01How much did our family spend on the case of President Rodrigo Duterte in the ICC?
09:09As of now, we have not talked to a lawyer,
09:14but I have already asked him if it is possible to apply for legal aid in the ICC.
09:25And we have continued to talk about this.
09:28Yesterday, we had a meeting.
09:30We were not able to take up the topic of the budget.
09:34But he knows because the other day,
09:38I already told him that there is a high possibility that we will apply for legal aid
09:46and this is not a privately funded case.
09:50Almost every day, he says, he visits the former President
09:53and he was transferred to a regular detention facility
09:56and he is no longer in the hospital part of the facility.
09:58Sometimes, he checks his blood sugar.
10:01So far, when I was there, his blood sugar was not a problem.
10:09He was controlled by their medications.
10:12He still has access to nurses and doctors 24 hours a day.
10:17Despite his busy schedule,
10:19Vice President Duterte assured that he will not neglect his work
10:22even if he is in the Netherlands.
10:24Aside from being busy, he has a duty to the father of a Filipino.
10:33Pia, just a while ago,
10:35Attorney Niklas Kaufman was here at the detention facility
10:39and according to him,
10:40the former President was placed in his detention cell.
10:46And later tonight,
10:48another foreign lawyer will be here in The Hague
10:54to talk and interview Vice President Sara
10:57to become a part of the defense team of the former President
11:00as a co-counsel.
11:02And that is the latest news from here in The Hague, Netherlands.
11:06For GM Integrated News, I am Maris Umali, your witness.
11:11President Bombo Marcos is not asking
11:13for Solicitor General Minardo Guevara to resign.
11:16That is what Palacio saw in response to Guevara's statement
11:19when the decision was up to the President
11:21if he will remain in office.
11:23Palace Press Officer Undersecretary Claire Castro said
11:26that the President's trust in Guevara is not lost
11:29even though he is a good lawyer to government officials
11:33regarding the petitions for the rid of habeas corpus
11:36of the children of former President Rodrigo Duterte.
11:39For now, DOJ is serving as the government's lawyer
11:42in facing the alleged petitions.
11:46Even after 45 days in the hospital,
11:49the members of PhilHealth will still receive benefits.
11:53That is after PhilHealth removes the 45-day benefit limit.
11:57Witness, Darlene Cai.
12:03Helen's 8-year-old daughter will be sent back to the hospital.
12:07James has stage 3 eye cancer.
12:09If not for surgery, chemotherapy, or lab tests,
12:12complications caused by a weak immune system
12:15why would she be admitted to the hospital?
12:17PhilHealth's benefits would be of great help.
12:20However, they quickly remove the 45-day benefit limit
12:24within a year.
12:25This means that the patient will not receive
12:28the benefits from PhilHealth
12:30if the 45-day benefit limit is removed within a year.
12:35No matter where we go,
12:37we are there to reduce the hospital fees.
12:42As in, it's really hard.
12:45Sometimes, I cry because of it.
12:52Not anymore.
12:53With PhilHealth Circular 2025-0007 released today,
12:58the 45-day benefit limit is now removed.
13:02With the lifting of the 45 days,
13:04all cases, any illness,
13:06can be used for more than the 45 days.
13:09With the new Circular,
13:11all cases or surgical procedures
13:13with a case rate or special package
13:15can be used by PhilHealth.
13:16No matter how long you're confined,
13:18even if it's repeatedly,
13:19and you exceed the 45 days limit,
13:21there won't be a problem
13:22because we will pay for it.
13:24Your benefits won't be exhausted.
13:27Previously, there was a limitation
13:29in obtaining benefits
13:30due to the saving or cost containment strategy
13:32of the previous Medicare program
13:34under the Republic Act 6111.
13:37But now, PhilHealth's mandate
13:39has been extended
13:40under the Universal Health Care Act.
13:42It will be a big help
13:44for 11-year-old Sam who has a brain tumor.
13:47If the two operations continue
13:49to remove his tumor,
13:51he will surely be removed from the hospital.
13:53It will be a big help
13:54if they can extend the help
13:56for our cancer patients who are fighting.
13:59Because that is what we expect at this moment.
14:03We have already paid for it.
14:05We have been giving a monthly fund.
14:08I only received a small amount.
14:11If they will extend it now,
14:13it will be a big help for us.
14:15In order for the program to be carried out properly,
14:18PhilHealth is encouraging hospitals
14:20to blame the patients
14:22who will exceed the 45-day hospitalization limit.
14:25It is effective
14:26after 15 days,
14:27this circular.
14:29Anyone who violates it
14:30will be punished
14:31under the Universal Health Care Act.
