00:00Good morning. Here are the first news brought to you by GMI Integrated News.
00:18Motorists in Quezon City were forced to leave their homes due to heavy rains.
00:24A car was stranded and drowned in the flood.
00:27Some businesses were also forced to leave their homes due to the flood.
00:33Here are the first news brought to you by James Agustin.
00:36James.
00:41Igan Susan Ivan, good morning.
00:42This is the other side of Araneta Avenue on the roads here in Quezon City that were flooded.
00:47It was raining heavily.
00:49Many of our motorists are avoiding this area due to the continuous flood.
00:54The Quezon City Local Government announced that there will be no entrance to all public or private schools due to the bad weather.
01:07The rainfall in Quezon City was heavy before 11 p.m.
01:11Some roads were flooded, such as Maria Clara Street.
01:14The water level in this part of Tudumigo Avenue is also high.
01:18In Enes Amoranto Street and Araneta Avenue, light vehicles could not pass.
01:23A car was stranded in the flood, while a truck could not pass.
01:28Other motorists returned to their homes.
01:30We couldn't pass. There's a car in the middle of the road.
01:37Maimai drowned in the water, along with her husband.
01:41The flood reached the house that was being guarded by the store.
01:44That's why they were forced to leave their belongings.
01:46We are used to it because that's where we look for food.
01:51But if it's a big flood, we will be afraid.
01:55But if it's just a small one, we can handle it.
01:59It was past 3 p.m. when heavy rain fell on Payatas Road.
02:03There was almost zero visibility.
02:05The situation is also the same in some parts of Commonwealth Avenue.
02:08The rainfall on Elliptical Road is also heavy.
02:11Meanwhile, this is just a light rainfall that we are experiencing here in Quezon City.
02:16But this flood on Araneta Avenue, as you can see,
02:19this is the lane from the area of Maria Clara Street that runs through Quezon Avenue.
02:25Earlier, we saw a few trucks passing through here, but there were no light vehicles.
02:32On the side of the road, we saw that there were people who fell,
02:36because when the trucks passed through here, the rainfall was really heavy.
02:40That's why a few motorcycles fell and were not rescued.
02:43There were residents who rescued their motorcycles on the higher part of the road.
02:49That's the first news from Quezon City.
02:51I am James Agustin for JEMA Integrated News.
02:54Sheila Guo told us how she left the Philippines.
02:57She said that she was afraid to leave the Philippines.
03:00Sheila Guo told us how she left the Philippines
03:03together with former Bamban Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo and Wesley Guo.
03:07She also said that she was born in China and that she is not a real sister to the then-mayor of Sinibac.
03:13Sheila also claimed that she is connected to the Pogo Hub in Bamban.
03:17Salima Refran has the first news.
03:21What?
03:22We will ride on the sea.
03:25It seems like the question is being answered.
03:27How did Alice Guo go?
03:29That was after details were given to the Senate by the brother of the then-mayor of Sinibac,
03:34Sheila, about their departure.
03:36Alice and another brother, Wesley, left their farm in Bamban Tarlac
03:42to go to another country on the first week of July.
03:46We came here from our house.
03:50From our house.
03:51From our house.
03:52Then a car came to us.
03:55What kind of car?
03:57A van.
03:58A van.
03:59And where did it take you?
04:01I don't know where it took us.
04:03Maybe we traveled for several hours.
04:07How many of you were in the van?
04:09Yes.
04:10How many of you were in the van?
04:11Three.
04:12Three.
04:13Who?
04:14The three of us.
04:15Who?
04:16Alice and Wesley.
04:19Did you go straight to Malaysia?
04:20No.
04:21From the Philippines?
04:22No.
04:23There's a change.
04:24Huh?
04:25There's a change.
04:26There's a bigger one.
04:27Backdoor or not, that's the route that Guo used.
04:29But Sheila didn't talk about the place where they boarded the boat,
04:33where they went,
04:35and who helped them.
04:38But based on his Philippine passport,
04:41they first went to Sabah, Malaysia on July 18,
04:45before flying to Singapore on July 21,
04:48before flying to Batam, Indonesia on August 18.
04:51When you left last night,
04:53did you know where you were going?
04:55No.
04:56You didn't ask?
04:57I was going to ask.
04:58What he told me,
05:00he said,
05:01I'm sad,
05:03come with me,
05:04I have a question.
05:05Are you ready?
05:06Yes.
05:07No matter where you go,
05:08you'll go with him?
05:09Yes.
05:10Even if it's hell, you'll go with him?
05:11Yes.
05:12Okay.
05:13You still didn't ask,
05:14where are we going?
05:15He was mad at me.
05:16He told me not to ask.
05:17He said,
05:18you'll go with him.
05:19You didn't ask?
05:20Why did you change the boat?
05:21It's small,
05:22you changed it to a big one.
05:23I was already in doubt.
05:25I was already there.
05:27What will I do?
05:28Will I return here to the Philippines?
05:30I'm not telling you to return here,
05:33but it's obvious that you lied.
05:36I'm sorry.
05:38Sheila was arrested on August 20
05:40for immigration to Batam, Indonesia
05:42before taking a ferry back to Singapore
05:45along with Nereid Napogo's body
05:47in the wrecked Lucky South 99,
05:50Cassandra Ong.
05:51From Singapore,
05:53they were planning to go to Hong Kong.
05:56Wesley,
05:58I know he was the first one to go to Singapore.
06:01Okay.
06:02And then Alice,
06:04where is she?
06:05The one we separated,
06:07she's still in Indonesia.
06:08Is she still in Batam?
06:10I don't know,
06:11because she was the first one to leave the hotel.
06:13I heard about Cassandra Ong
06:15from Senator Riza.
06:19Did you just meet her in Malaysia?
06:22Yes.
06:23You didn't meet her here in the Philippines?
06:24No.
06:25I just heard her name in the Philippines.
06:27How did you hear about her?
06:30From Wesley.
06:31What did Wesley say?
06:34She looks like his girlfriend.
06:36Looks like his girlfriend?
06:37Looks like his girlfriend or his girlfriend?
06:39It's okay.
06:40Maybe girlfriend.
06:41Upon hearing this,
06:43Sheila also admitted that
06:45she was not really born in the Philippines
06:47and was just brought to the country.
06:49She is also not a real sister to Alice Goh.
06:53Goh Jangjong,
06:55you are not biological father?
06:58No, I'm not a real mother.
06:59You're not a real father?
07:00Yes.
07:01Lin Wenyi, you're also not a real mother?
07:03No.
07:04So Alice,
07:05you're not a real sister to her?
07:07No.
07:08Why did you come here to the Philippines?
07:10My father told me
07:12to help him with his business.
07:15So it's not true that you were born here?
07:18No.
07:20I was not.
07:21So you were also born in China?
07:23Yes.
07:24Sheila denies the connection
07:26with Pogo in Bamban
07:27and she also doesn't know
07:28about the money transfer
07:29to the corporations of her family.
07:32She also doesn't know
07:33the connection between Alice
07:35and her other relatives.
07:37Cassandra Ong,
07:38who is in the custody of the camera
07:40because of the arrest order,
07:41was not involved in the investigation.
07:43But where is Alice Goh?
07:46The Bureau of Immigration admitted
07:48that they received information
07:50from the PNP Intelligence Group
07:52on August 15
07:53that Goh is no longer in the country.
07:56But on August 20,
07:57the Department of Justice
07:58was informed
07:59after the validation.
08:01For now,
08:02she is no longer in Batam,
08:04but the former mayor
08:05is still in Indonesia.
08:07Meanwhile,
08:08Wesley is already there.
08:10Based on the latest report,
08:13Alice Goh is in Jakarta.
08:16The request for the deportation
08:19of Alice to the Philippines
08:22is still standing.
08:23The latest we got from Wesley Goh
08:26is that he left Batam on the 20th
08:31using the same ferry
08:33then he boarded a plane
08:35going to Hong Kong.
08:38President Bongbong Marcos
08:39was the first to order
08:41a thorough investigation
08:43so that Goh can be held accountable.
08:46DOEJ,
08:47I was just with the secretary,
08:49is almost finished
08:50with a very thorough investigation.
08:52And we will identify
08:55all of those who have,
08:57all of those who are involved in this
08:59and we will act very quickly.
09:00That's what the last part of this,
09:02how far,
09:03how deep does it go?
09:04Is there only one person involved?
09:06Or are there many?
09:07Or is this a syndicate?
09:09There are no sacred cows.
09:10But we are going to ensure the public
09:12that everyone should be able to answer
09:14whoever helped them.
09:16This is the first news
09:17in 5 references
09:18for GMA Integrated News.
09:25Breaking news,
09:26the water in Lamesa Dam is leaking
09:29because of the heavy rain.
09:31In Paray, Super Radyo and DCWB,
09:33the Hydro-Meteorology Division said
09:35that the water level in Lamesa Dam
09:39reached 80.16 meters.
09:41The spilling level is at 80.15 meters.
09:45The water is directed to Tulyahan River.
09:49Residents are being alerted
09:51around the dam.
09:53It's hard for some people
09:54to travel to work in Quezon City
09:56even though the flood has already hit.
09:59First news live,
10:00James Agustin.
10:02James?
10:07The flood has already reached
10:08a large part of Araneta Avenue
10:10in Quezon City,
10:11except for some parts
10:13where the flood is still deep
10:15this morning.
10:16But it has already been passed
10:17by light vehicles.
10:19Earlier at 6 a.m.,
10:20the trucks that were passing
10:21were already following.
10:24Many light vehicles
10:25have already left
10:26and found other routes.
10:27Others are riding their bikes
10:28and motorcycles
10:29on their own.
10:31There are also people
10:32who are forced to push
10:33their motorcycles.
10:34Most of them are forced
10:35to go to work.
10:37Like some people
10:38from Valenzuela and Bulacan.
10:43It's hard.
10:45The flood is still deep.
10:48It will reach here.
10:50It's really hard.
10:51There's a flood right now.
10:54It's really hard.
10:55There's a flood
10:56everywhere.
10:57What happened
10:58to your motorcycle?
11:00It's broken.
11:01It's deep.
11:08Meanwhile,
11:09we are only experiencing
11:10a light rain right now.
11:12As the flood reaches
11:13Araneta Avenue,
11:15there are a lot of garbage
11:16that has been left.
11:18But what you can see
11:19on this road
11:20is Maria Clara Street.
11:22It's just near the corner
11:24of Araneta Avenue.
11:26Motorcyclists are already
11:27driving here
11:28because of the high water level.
11:30However,
11:31there are a lot of garbage
11:32that has been left
11:33this morning.
11:35That's all for now.
11:36From Quezon City,
11:37I'm James Agustin
11:38for GEMA Integrated News.
11:42Just like the Senate,
11:43the Chamber of Commerce
11:45is also concerned
11:46about the 2 billion pesos
11:48budget of the office
11:50of Vice President Sara Duterte
11:51for 2025.
11:53The Vice President
11:54refused to answer
11:55the questions
11:56of the lawmakers.
12:00The Vice President
12:01said,
12:02Madam Chair,
12:03that it's slow
12:04and low utilization.
12:07We saw that
12:08in the presentation.
12:10So the utilization
12:11is very low.
12:14But of course,
12:15I'll just comment
12:16that it's faster
12:17than confidential funds.
12:20100% in 11 days.
12:21Madam Chair,
12:23I called your attention.
12:24Madam Chair,
12:25you did not recognize me.
12:27So now,
12:28I'll say that
12:29if you allowed her that,
12:30you allowed me
12:31a snide comment as well.
12:32Point of order,
12:33Madam Chair,
12:34because she's the one
12:35who's presiding.
12:36She needs to be explained.
12:37So she can't
12:38use tactics like that.
12:40Like,
12:41sorry for the squid.
12:43When the squid is already
12:44cooked,
12:45it turns black.
12:47What we're talking about
12:49here is the budget.
12:52The Vice President said
12:54that she will allow
12:55the camera to pass
12:56on their budget proposal.
12:58Because the committee
12:59is one-sided
13:00and she's being attacked.
13:02In addition,
13:03the Vice President
13:04should replace
13:05Marikina,
13:06Second District Representative
13:07Stella Kimbo
13:08as the presiding chairperson
13:10of Pagdini.
13:13Please act
13:14in a respectful manner.
13:16I'm sorry,
13:17your power is not included
13:19in the firing of
13:20the presiding officer
13:22of this hearing.
13:25I cannot fire
13:26the presiding chair.
13:27So why?
13:29Yes, we...
13:30Why is this so one-sided,
13:31ma'am?
13:32Noted.
13:33Is it because there are
13:34so many of you on the other side
13:35and I'm the only one here?
13:40Cabinet,
13:41let's listen to Senator
13:42Riza Ontiveros.
13:44Good morning, Senator.
13:46Good morning, Madam Chair,
13:47and to all of our
13:48listeners.
13:50Let's go to the testimony
13:51of Sheila Guo.
13:55What can you say about this?
13:58Is the truth heavier
13:59than the lie?
14:02Well,
14:03there are still many lies
14:04that are hidden,
14:06but the truth
14:07that we have found
14:08is a bit heavier.
14:10Actually,
14:11what struck me yesterday
14:13was the direct confession
14:15of Sheila Guo,
14:17who left the country
14:18at the same time.
14:19Alice Guo
14:21and Wesley Guo.
14:22She told us that
14:23they were followed
14:24to a farm in Bamban
14:26by a van,
14:27and they traveled
14:28for several hours.
14:30Then they arrived
14:31at a location
14:32where a small
14:33white ship was sailing.
14:35When they transferred
14:36to a bigger ship,
14:39Sheila Guo said
14:40it was like a fishing ship.
14:42Then they switched
14:44to a small blue
14:45or green colored ship.
14:48According to the information
14:50obtained by Oficina Coigan,
14:52the government agencies
14:53also confirmed that
14:55Sheila Guo arrived
14:57in Malaysia
14:58on July 18.
15:00Yesterday,
15:01Sheila said
15:02that they met
15:03Cassie Leong
15:04in Malaysia.
15:06After Malaysia,
15:08they flew to Singapore
15:11on July 21.
15:13Together,
15:14they took a ferry
15:16to Batam, Indonesia
15:18on August 18,
15:20where Cassie Leong
15:23was caught by the authorities.
15:25Speaking of lies,
15:27there are details
15:29that we haven't confirmed yet.
15:32We don't know
15:34where they really left
15:36from here.
15:37From Sambales,
15:39Suwal,
15:40where else?
15:41We also don't know
15:43who are the people
15:45who are conspiring against them.
15:47The latest news,
15:49from the BI,
15:51is that Alice Guo
15:53is in Jakarta, Indonesia.
15:56If we have countrymen
15:58who are listening now
15:59and are in Jakarta,
16:00if you see her there,
16:02report her immediately.
16:04In our opinion,
16:06we will not stop
16:07until we answer
16:09the people who are behind
16:11Alice Guo's escape.
16:13Regarding her escape
16:15and giving her protection,
16:17is she a civilian
16:19or there are people
16:21in the government?
16:23That's the painful thing
16:25that we are thinking about.
16:27Despite the many processes
16:29that Alice Guo is under,
16:31and the cases
16:33that were filed against her,
16:35the instruments that were issued
16:37against them,
16:39like the ILBO,
16:41Immigration Lookout Bulletin Order
16:43of the Bureau of Immigration,
16:45despite all of that,
16:47she was still able to escape.
16:49We cannot stop thinking
16:51that there are people
16:53who are either neglecting
16:55or conspiring against her.
16:57How did she escape?
16:59Senator,
17:01Sheila Guo admitted that
17:03they are not real siblings of Alice Guo.
17:05Does this have an implication
17:07in your investigation?
17:09That's important to us.
17:11Aside from the fact that
17:13she's not a real sibling of Alice Guo,
17:15she admitted
17:17or came forward
17:19in front of us yesterday
17:21that just like Alice Guo,
17:23she's not Filipino.
17:25In fact, she has a Chinese passport
17:27whose name is
17:29Jiang Mier.
17:31According to the NBI,
17:33the fingerprints of Sheeta Guo
17:35match the fingerprints
17:37of Jiang Mier.
17:39Like their evidence
17:41that the fingerprints
17:43of Guo Huaping and Alice Guo
17:45match.
17:47From Sheila Guo's mouth
17:49yesterday,
17:51her father and mother
17:53are in China.
17:55She was born in China.
17:57She came to our country
17:59in 2001.
18:01She was adopted
18:03by her aunt,
18:05Lin Wenyi,
18:07who is a partner of her so-called father,
18:09John Zhong Huo,
18:11to work
18:13in their embroidery business in Bulacan.
18:15Both of them are
18:17Alice Guo's parents.
18:19John Zhong Huo
18:21is Alice Guo's
18:23real father.
18:25He also arranged
18:27their delayed registration
18:29of birth,
18:31Alice and Sheila.
18:33I also saw something yesterday
18:35in the hearing,
18:37an NBI record
18:39with the name of Sheila Guo.
18:41It's the same birthday
18:43of Sheila Guo that we saw yesterday
18:45in the hearing,
18:47but a different person was in the photo.
18:49It's like Alice Guo.
18:51We asked about Sheila Guo.
18:53There's another Sheila Guo.
18:55It's a stolen identity.
18:57What is this?
18:59It's the same as the NBI record
19:01of Sheila Guo that I showed you
19:03before.
19:05It's the same details, but a different person
19:07is in the photo.
19:09What's more,
19:11the NBI record of Sheila Guo
19:13and Alice Guo,
19:15the different Sheila and Alice,
19:17has the same address,
19:19138 Kalanchao Street,
19:21Project 8, QC.
19:23According to the media,
19:25no one is living
19:27in this address.
19:29Again, is this a stolen identity?
19:31It's alarming.
19:33Lastly, regarding
19:35the mysterious Sheila and Alice.
19:37Why do they need
19:39a lot of records and
19:41the wrong information
19:43of their
19:45so-called NBI clearance?
19:47Wrong information,
19:49different photos.
19:51That's why,
19:53it's the same date
19:55of their
19:57delayed birth registration.
19:59It's the same date,
20:01November 3, 2005.
20:03The NBI records were arranged
20:05on November 2 and 4
20:07to pass the delayed birth registration.
20:09The chance that Alice Guo
20:11will return to the Philippines.
20:15We're not letting that happen
20:17because of the committee's panic
20:19in the Senate.
20:21According to the government's
20:23intelligence yesterday,
20:25we're not letting you
20:27return to your duties.
20:29It's also mentioned that
20:31Alice Guo
20:33is in Indonesia,
20:35Jakarta.
20:37They're still looking for
20:39Wesley Guo.
20:41Our intention is
20:43that they will be
20:45brought to our courts
20:47and to our Senate committees
20:49on women and justice
20:51and human rights.
20:53Will Sheila Guo's content be returned to the Senate?
20:55Will she be released?
20:57We didn't return it yesterday,
20:59because she's still facing
21:01the Justice and Human Rights subcommittee.
21:03Her content
21:05was initiated by our committee on women.
21:07She needs to face us first
21:09in the committee on women
21:11investigation before her content
21:13will be purged.
21:15I will follow up on the reaction of
21:17Senator Duterte to the budget hearing of the Camera.
21:19He's facing you in the Senate.
21:21Yes.
21:23The attitude is still the same.
21:25The sense of entitlement
21:27is really different.
21:29It's shocking.
21:31From the second highest official
21:33of the government.
21:35We cannot let that happen
21:37because it's not only
21:39money held by the government,
21:41it's money from
21:43the people's pockets.
21:45It's only right that we
21:47speak to the Congress,
21:49whether in the House or in the Senate,
21:51and it's only right that
21:53every executive official should be accountable
21:55for the budget they are asking for.
21:57Thank you very much
21:59Senator Arisa Ontiveros.
22:01Thank you as well.
22:07Breaking news.
22:09The operation of LRT Line 2 has been suspended.
22:11According to the LRT,
22:13there was a technical problem
22:15in a train in Jeruey Station
22:17in San Juan.
22:19Stay tuned for an update here on the
22:21GMA and social media pages of the LRT Authority
22:23for the next updates.
22:29It's raining heavily in Metro Manila.
22:31How is the situation in Caloocan?
22:33We have live news.
22:35This is Bea Pinlac.
22:37Susan,
22:39we are currently monitoring
22:41the amount of water
22:43in Tuliahan River in Malabon.
22:45Around 6 in the morning,
22:47the amount of water
22:49reached 12.3 meters.
22:51But according to
22:53Malabon DRRMO,
22:5512.5 meters is the critical level.
22:57It means that
22:59when it reaches 12.5 meters,
23:01the local government
23:03will evacuate the residents
23:05who live near Tuliahan River.
23:07Earlier, we also went around
23:09some parts of Caloocan
23:11where we saw the effect
23:13of continuous rain and flooding.
23:19The rain never stops
23:21so the flood
23:23is slowly increasing.
23:25Even though it's a habit,
23:27it still hurts the pockets of
23:29tricycles and jeepney drivers.
23:31Whenever the weather is bad,
23:33it's hard for the passengers
23:35to enter the city.
23:37Since the beginning of the day,
23:39the passengers have been stuck
23:41because there is no entry
23:43in Caloocan today
23:45due to the heavy rain in the city.
23:47I am a passenger
23:49in Kamaila.
23:51I don't have any money.
23:53I don't have anything to eat
23:55for my family.
23:57I don't have anything to earn.
23:59Is there any passenger
24:01who can't enter the city?
24:03Not all of them.
24:05The workers and others
24:07don't want to enter the city.
24:09We met with George
24:11who is still enduring the rain
24:13and the flood is still pouring
24:15to get home from work.
24:17He just wore slippers
24:19and the umbrella he used
24:21was just a bubble wrap sheet
24:23that he pulled from the road.
24:25I just saw this
24:27and I threw it away
24:29I just walked home.
24:31Why?
24:33I don't have any budget.
24:39Susan, for now,
24:41what we are experiencing here
24:43is that the flood
24:45of Tuliahan River has subsided
24:47and aside from Caloocan,
24:49there are no face-to-face classes
24:51in private and public
24:53schools in Malabon.
24:55That's the first news
24:57here in Malabon, Beya Pinloc
24:59for GMA Integrated News.
25:03It seems that some residents
25:05who live near Marikina River
25:07have already fled
25:09because the flood water is rising.
25:11Let's update on the first live news
25:13of EJ Gomez.
25:15EJ.
25:17Egan, here in Marikina City,
25:19only a handful of people
25:21are experiencing this.
25:23But earlier, the rain here
25:25was continuous.
25:27The water level here in Marikina River
25:29has reached 14.4 meters.
25:31Egan, compared to
25:33two hours ago,
25:35the water level here in August
25:37is stronger.
25:41It's still early.
25:43Some residents were alert
25:45and observed the situation in Marikina River
25:47due to the heavy rain.
25:49Just like Father Josel,
25:51who went to the river
25:53this morning.
25:55I also monitor the water level
25:57so that when I'm at work,
25:59I can tell my wife
26:01to get ready in case the water level rises.
26:03It might really rise.
26:05Even though it's improvised,
26:07he's also wearing full gear,
26:09especially when cycling.
26:11Even though the water level
26:13here in Marikina River is strong,
26:15when it's continuous like this
26:17and when it rains heavily,
26:19some residents are still visiting
26:21to catch fish
26:23using their improvised fishing nets.
26:25Earlier, we talked to
26:27the fishermen
26:29and this is what they caught.
26:31Tilapia for their breakfast.
26:33We caught more than 20 fish.
26:35We just fed them.
26:37We're just being careful.
26:39When it rains heavily,
26:41we catch fish
26:43because
26:45it's a waste.
26:47At 5 a.m. earlier,
26:49Marikina LGU suspended
26:51face-to-face classes
26:53in all public and private
26:55schools here in the city.
26:57Asynchronous classes will be held.
26:59Some parts of the road
27:01are already flooded
27:03with water from the river.
27:09Because some parts
27:11of the river
27:13are already flooded,
27:15the water from the river
27:17can't reach the road
27:19of the riverside.
27:21Bicycles, motorcycles
27:23and cars can't pass.
27:25The water
27:27from the river
27:29can't reach
27:31the garbage
27:33that reaches
27:35Pasig River.
27:39This is the first news from Marikina.
27:41EJ Gomez for
27:43GMA Integrated News.
27:47The emotional actor
27:49Sandro Mulac became emotional
27:51when the Senate accused him of
27:53abusing his wife, Jojo Nones,
27:55and Richard Cruz.
27:57Nones refused to answer
27:59some questions, so
28:01Senator Gingo Estrada answered them.
28:03Here's the first news from Sandra Aguinaldo.
28:07In front of the actor,
28:09Sandro Mulac, in the Senate,
28:11he finds it hard to talk
28:13about his experience of sexual abuse.
28:15He arrived at the hotel room
28:17where he accused Jojo Nones
28:19and Richard Dode Cruz.
28:21I went to their room
28:23and I saw
28:25Sir Jojo and
28:27Dode Cruz.
28:29Dode Cruz was very drunk.
28:31Sir Jojo introduced me
28:33and Dode
28:35stood up.
28:37Dode stood up
28:39and introduced me to Sir Jojo.
28:41He said, this is Sandro, the son of Nino.
28:43He's a great actor.
28:45He's a great actor.
28:47I'm going to cast him soon.
28:49Nones then offered him a glass of wine
28:51and he was given
28:53a white substance.
28:55After a few minutes,
28:59Sir Jojo
29:01pulled me out
29:03of the bed.
29:05Then
29:07Dode Cruz
29:09Dode Cruz
29:11took off his polo.
29:15We will not
29:17repeat the detailed
29:19and sensitive story of Sandro.
29:21Even Senator Dingo Estrada
29:23was stopped by his testimony.
29:25It's going to be
29:27It's okay.
29:29It's okay.
29:31I understand.
29:33They took turns.
29:35Yes, Your Honor.
29:37Okay, stop.
29:39Sandro said
29:41that he wanted to leave
29:43but he was already detained.
29:45Actually, Your Honor,
29:47before I left, they still didn't allow me to leave.
29:49They want me to stay until
29:51the check-out time of the hotel.
29:53They are still pulling me.
29:55They are still taking Sir Jojo's shoes off.
29:57They still want me to lie down.
29:59Cruz is not in the hearing
30:01because he needs to be taken
30:03to the hospital
30:05gastrointestinal bleeding.
30:07Nones was the one who answered the allegations.
30:09I would like to invoke my right to self-incrimination, Your Honor.
30:14Since the case is already in the DOJ, we will answer there.
30:18Using that right, Nones did not answer the many questions of the Senator.
30:24I don't think it is fair and proper that you detain me just because I invoke my constitutional right to self-incrimination, Your Honor.
30:32I am asking you a question, a valid question.
30:37There is no compulsion. We are not a court, Your Honor.
30:40And I invoke my right to self-incrimination because I don't want to answer details of the case, Your Honor.
30:46This is already part of our defense.
30:48But the question that I am asking you is not an incriminating question.
30:52But Sandro's father, Nino Mulac, said that the two admitted that they agreed to meet.
31:01I don't understand why all of a sudden, their story changed.
31:07That was the reason why they apologized.
31:10That's why we met.
31:11Because they wanted to say sorry because they thought it was okay.
31:15They thought it was consensual.
31:17And you apologized. Yes or no?
31:20I invoke my right to self-incrimination, Your Honor.
31:22No, no. You answered that well.
31:23I already answered this question, Your Honor.
31:25Get the records.
31:26You didn't accept my answer, Your Honor.
31:28You didn't accept my answer, Your Honor.
31:30So, I invoke my right to self-incrimination.
31:32This is my constitutional right.
31:34Don't argue.
31:43You're the one who's arrogant here.
31:48I'm not arrogant, Your Honor.
31:50I also have constitutional rights.
31:52I know. I know your rights.
31:55And yet, you have detained me for eight days, Your Honor.
31:59I will still detain you.
32:03For just exercising my constitutional rights, you continue to detain me.
32:07I know your rights.
32:08This is an injustice.
32:09I know your rights.
32:10After the hearing, they still brought Ones to the detention facility of the Senate.
32:15When Senator Robin Padilla, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Public Information and Mass Media,
32:21heard about the abuses in the showbiz,
32:24he said that it was done to help the violation of the law.
32:29We are not stopping here.
32:31We need to make a law.
32:33And it's up to you to help us with the simple questions.
32:41The singer, Gerard Santos, appeared again.
32:44He was accused of being a musical director,
32:46when he was just 15 years old.
32:52He also thanked the GMA Network for its support in the so-called assault on him back then.
32:58It is an honor for me now to officially know that GMA did something against the person I accused 19 years ago.
33:07It is an honor for me now to officially know that GMA did something against the person I accused 19 years ago.
33:16If only we could give our formal request on February 28, 2011,
33:22that we would only be punished for the result of the GMA's investigation,
33:27maybe then we would have strengthened ourselves and filed a case in the right court.
33:33Even so, thank you very much to GMA for the action they took in the complaint I filed.
33:42We are still trying to get the evidence.
33:45The lawyer of Santos is still studying the person who can be charged,
33:49especially since it has been 19 years.
33:52This is the first news.
33:54Sandra Aguinaldo for GMA Integrated News.
33:59The mutual defense treaty of the Philippines and the United States should not only be a part of the armed attack against the Philippines,
34:07said Defense Secretary Gilberto Chedoro, Jr.
34:12We're getting narrowed down by a wooden definition,
34:15an armed attack on a public vessel, etc., and the public gets fixated on that.
34:19I think we should broaden the scope of the MDT to face a dynamic and cunning
34:27adversary.
34:29Chedoro said that following the new Chinese Coast Guard's attack on Philippine ships in the West Philippine Sea,
34:36the scope of the agreement should be broadened.
34:39The U.S. Coast Guard said they are ready to help once the mutual defense treaty is implemented.
