00:00This is the GMA Regional TV News.

00:07We will now bring to you the hot news from Visayas and Mindanao,

00:12with Sara Hilomen Velasco.

00:14Sara?

00:16Thank you, Rafi.

00:18A subdivision of Barangay Panakan here in Davao City was flooded.

00:23The flood reached Bewang.

00:27A part of Daang Maharlica was also flooded.

00:30According to Davao City RRMO, the flow of water in Panakan Creek decreased

00:35due to the accumulated soil and mud from a DPWH project.

00:40When it rained, the water flowed to residential areas, which resulted in flooding.

00:46It is also known that the drainage is full of mud and garbage.

00:50Davao City RRMO and Barangay Council of Panakan already talked.

00:55It is recommended to remove debris from Panakan Creek from the DPWH.

00:58The DPWH is also getting a statement regarding this.

01:06Following the heavy rain that was left by the flood,

01:10President Bongbong Marcos ordered various agencies to look into the calamities.

01:16The President mentioned this while distributing aid to those affected by the Christine Flood in Batangas yesterday.

01:21The President is angry that the effects of climate change are severe,

01:24so even the government's projects are hard to implement.

01:29The DOST ordered to look into the warning systems and communication with the DILG

01:34to immediately evacuate those affected by the LGU.

01:38The DPWH and DANR were ordered to re-study the flood control projects

01:43and the design of roads and bridges to be more convenient in the changing times.

01:49The NIA and other agencies were also ordered to reduce water in the dams

01:52before the flood so that it will not cause flooding.

01:59Let's update on the Typhoon Marseille.

02:01We will talk to Pag-asa Assistant Weather Services Chief, Chris Perez.

02:05Good morning and welcome back to Balitang Hali.

02:07Good morning Raffy and to all of our listeners.

02:11Is there still a possibility of rapid intensification?

02:14And what is the possibility of rising to the Super Typhoon category, the Typhoon Marseille?

02:19Well Raffy, if we compare the strength of the typhoon,

02:24at 11 o'clock yesterday, the maximum wind was around 75 kmph,

02:29and now it is 120 kmph.

02:31So the last 24 hours, the maximum sustained wind was 45 kmph.

02:38So that is one sign that the process of rapid intensification

02:43of the Typhoon Marseille during the last 24 hours is undergoing.

02:45And in the next 2 to 3 days, even if we don't expect it,

02:49it is possible that a higher level of typhoon,

02:52meaning a stronger wind in the typhoon category,

02:55will reach it before it reaches the extreme northern zone

03:00or reaches the seas here in the extreme northern zone.

03:04So just now or since yesterday,

03:06we are actually advising our countrymen to be prepared

03:09for the possible approach of the typhoon Marseille here in the northern zone area.

03:13Where is the possibility of rain and tropical cyclone wind signal due to the typhoon?

03:19Well, as of now, within 24 hours,

03:22we are expecting moderate to heavy rains here in the province of Cagayan.

03:27And as the typhoon approaches here in the northern zone,

03:30for example, tomorrow, there will be additional areas that will be exposed to rain,

03:34such as Batanes, Cagayan and Apayao.

03:36Until Thursday, it is possible that there will be intense torrential rains in Cagayan,

03:42moderate to heavy or heavy to intense in Apayao, Ilocos Norte and Batanes,

03:47while moderate to heavy in Isabela, Abra, Ilocos Sur, Calinga and Mountain Province.

03:53So, our countrymen should be reminded of the mentioned areas,

03:57be alert to possible floods,

03:59especially those located in low-lying areas.

04:03In communities near rivers,

04:05it is possible for the water level to rise and floods here on the riverside.

04:09It is also possible for landslides to occur in areas near the foot of the mountains,

04:14especially if our countrymen have noticed or observed for a few days

04:19that there are low-lying areas where it is possible for landslides to occur.

04:25Meanwhile, in terms of warning signals,

04:28as of now, the number one warning signal is in Batanes, Cagayan along with Babuyan Island,

04:33in the province of Isabela, Ilocos Norte, Apayao,

04:37as well as in Abra, Calinga, Mountain Province,

04:40Ipugao, in the northern portion of Nuevo Vizcaya,

04:43there is also a number one warning signal in the northern portion of Tirino and in the northern portion of Aurora.

04:48And those areas that have a warning signal,

04:51it is possible that there will be heavy rains,

04:53sometimes there will be heavy winds,

04:55and be reminded that as the storm approaches,

04:57it is possible that we will have high warning signals

05:00and areas with warning signals will increase,

05:01especially here in the northern zone and some parts of the central zone.

05:06Raffy, how severe is the rain brought by Mars

05:09and what will be the effect of this on the past storms that have passed?

05:13Well, as we can see the movement of the storm,

05:17it does not have a direct effect on the areas that were previously affected by the storm,

05:22especially in the Bicol region.

05:24If there will be rain in the mentioned areas,

05:27it is possible that it will be light to moderate.

05:29What we are really hoping for are the experiences of rain

05:33in the majority of the northern zone and some parts of the central zone.

05:38However, we will continue to give updates as the storm approaches,

05:42our Tropical Cyclone Bulletin and our Weather Advisory will be in touch

05:48regarding the heavy rains.

05:50I will also add that our gale warnings,

05:53the conditions of the seas, especially around the northern zone area,

05:56are possible to increase.

05:59As much as possible, if there is a gale warning,

06:02we know that there will be a storm approaching,

06:05we should avoid letting our countrymen go out for a long time

06:08or go out to the seas around the northern zone.

06:11Here in Metro Manila, what will be the effect of Mars?

06:14Well, what we can see, Raffy, if there will be rain here in Metro Manila

06:19as Mars approaches the northern zone,

06:21it is possible that it will be brought by what we call the northeasterly surface wind flow,

06:25which is like a light breeze.

06:27We do not expect that there will be a lot of rain

06:31that is directly associated with Mars here in Metro Manila

06:34for the upcoming weekend.

06:36But as I mentioned, the area in the northern zone,

06:39some parts of the central zone, especially the warning signals,

06:42should be prepared for, aside from the rain,

06:45the strong winds that Mars will bring.

06:47What does it mean for the cloud cluster near Mindanao?

06:51What will be the effect of this?

06:52Well, we are looking at our latest satellite imagery,

06:56even though we can consider it as a trap or an extension of Mars' storm,

07:01we hope that it is still possible for light to moderate rains

07:05especially in the east and south part of Mindanao.

07:08We will continue to monitor and if necessary,

07:11our regional services division in Mindanao

07:15will issue localized thunderstorm and rainfall advisory

07:18regarding the cloud cluster here in the east part of Mindanao.

07:20Let's look forward to that.

07:22Thank you very much for your time in Balitang Hali.

07:25Thank you very much and good morning to everyone.

07:51This donation came from thousands of soldiers

07:55who donated their one-day meal allowance of Php 150.

08:01In September, they also asked for help from the GMA Capuso Foundation

08:05for those affected by the Enteng storm.

08:10Our soldiers not only help when disasters occur

08:17through our search and rescue efforts,

08:20other humanitarian response,

08:23but also we give donations to our fellow countrymen

08:29who are victims of calamities.

08:32The fact that they will give us what they have saved for aid

08:37really means a lot to us.

08:39It means that they really trust us to give the aid to those who most need it.

08:47We wholeheartedly support the recovery of our fellow countrymen.

08:53To those who want to receive help,

08:55you can deposit to the bank accounts of the GMA Capuso Foundation

08:59or send to Cebuana Luwilier.

09:01You can also do it online via GCash, Shopee, Lazada, Globe Rewards,

09:06and Metro Bank Credit Card.

09:08Your donation is 100% tax deductible.

09:11And just donate to the official channels.

09:14Don't just believe what the GMA Capuso Foundation might say.

09:26To those who will choose,

09:29prepare your pockets because the price of highland vegetables

09:33has almost tripled in some families.

09:37Just like in Baguio City,

09:39cabbage costs P100 per kilo

09:42while the price of carrots, potatoes, and chayotes is P150 per kilo.

09:48Broccoli costs P200 to P300 per kilo.

09:52Pechay costs P100 per kilo.

09:54Lettuce costs P300 to P400 per kilo.

10:00According to some sellers there,

10:02because of the lack of supplies in the Trinidad Vegetable Trading Post in Benguet,

10:07there were many typhoons Christine and Leon.

10:11But they are hoping that in December,

10:14the price of vegetables will go down so that they can recover.

10:17According to the latest monitoring of the Department of Agriculture,

10:21bell pepper costs P240 to P350 per kilo

10:26while broccoli costs P340 to P500 per kilo in Metro Manila.

10:30Cabbage costs P85 to P160 per kilo depending on the variety.

10:37Carrots cost P150 to P210 per kilo.

10:40Baguio beans cost P120 to P200 per kilo.

10:44Potatoes cost P70 to P140 per kilo.

10:48Pechay Baguio costs P100 to P170 per kilo

10:53while chayotes cost P45 to P85 per kilo.

10:58Because of the mistreatment of a Filipino who was raided by the BPO in Bataan,

11:03Paok spokesperson Winston Cascio was relieved from his post.

11:06At this point, we will talk to Paok spokesperson Winston Cascio himself.

11:11Thank you for inviting me to this interview.

11:14Thank you very much, Rafi, for giving me the opportunity to air myself.

11:19When it came from you, what made you do this attack?

11:22You know, on October 31, that was the date of our operation in Bagang,

11:27around 10, between 9.30 to 10,

11:31the Filipinos will be allowed to go home because they were all arrested.

11:36We can't secure that many of them for a long time.

11:41So when the Filipinos found out that they were in a building with a cafeteria,

11:46that they will be allowed to go home, they became reckless.

11:49They were very loud and so on and so forth, to the point that there was a riot.

11:54Other media are complaining that they are being raided by the Filipinos and so on and so forth.

11:59I was sent there by our staff, by Paok.

12:02The child came back and told me, sir,

12:05I was finger-pointed and I memorized F-U-T-K of a mother there.

12:12When I went there, I was greeted by the media,

12:14sir, these kids are being raided, the media said.

12:17The Filipinos are being raided.

12:20They will be deported.

12:22So the mother was identified as being finger-pointed and raiding our staff.

12:31I explained to her, I told her that you raided not only the child,

12:36I mean not the staff, not only me, as Paok's director.

12:39You raided our office.

12:41I even showed the logo of our office.

12:43This is what you raided, the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission and the President himself.

12:48I told her that we will sue you for unjust dictation to end this.

12:52She said, sir, don't do it.

12:54I told the CIDG to bring this to the CIDG so we can process it.

12:58She talked to him and he said don't do it.

13:00I admit that my mistake here is I tried to meet you,

13:04I tried to mediate between the two.

13:06I don't know.

13:08It's not wrong to mediate between the two.

13:10My solution to the mediation was wrong.

13:12I said, okay, are we still going to sue you for unjust dictation?

13:18She said, sir, I admit that I was wrong.

13:20Don't do it.

13:22Then Paok's staff said, sir, let's talk about what we can do so he won't be sued.

13:28He's pitiful.

13:30That's the word that the staff used.

13:31He's pitiful.

13:33My mistake here is I went overboard.

13:35Okay.

13:37I admit that I went overboard.

13:39I said, okay, there's no more case.

13:41I'll just give you a couple of slaps so it's over.

13:44Did you know that you were being recorded at that time?

13:48Did you know that you were being recorded at that time?

13:51No.

13:53But be that as it may, whether there's a video or not, Rafi, what I did was wrong.

13:57I admit that I went overboard.

13:59You shouldn't do that.

14:01That's strict justice.

14:03To make it fast, so on and so forth.

14:05No more cases.

14:07Just slap.

14:09That's wrong from any angle you look at.

14:11Right there and then did you realize...

14:13We have to talk about other things there.

14:15Right there and then did you realize that you did something wrong?

14:17Yes.

14:19So I talked to the person and I said, okay, this is over.

14:21We won't talk anymore.

14:23But I hope this won't happen again for us.

14:24This won't happen again.

14:26But I didn't apologize to the person.

14:28Because we're in the middle of an operation.

14:31I'm the only one who can resolve that particular situation right there and then.

14:36But for now, will you apologize to him?

14:39To the person, I'm always willing to apologize to the person.

14:43But then he should also be man enough to accept that what he did was wrong.

14:49Okay.

14:50So I will apologize, but he has to accept the responsibility

14:53that he destroyed the office that we represent,

14:56the staff of his, Minora and Middlefinger.

15:00I just want to clarify.

15:02Aside from being Paok's spokesperson,

15:04are you also relieved of your other duties in Paok?

15:07I am now, yes.

15:09I am now technically confined.

15:11It's like if you're a soldier, you're confined to barracks.

15:15Meaning to say administrative duties.

15:16It's like if you're a soldier, you're confined to barracks.

15:19It's like if you're a soldier, you're confined to barracks.

15:22So I won't engage in activities while waiting for the result of the administrative investigation that I am subject to.

15:30Do you have a message to those who watched this video and were bothered by what you did?

15:34First, of course, I have to apologize.

15:37I have let them down, so to speak.

15:39To our eager beavers who were able to finish the problem of scamming,

15:45no amount of disrespect or whatever amount of provocation will justify what I did.

15:54So rest assured that what happened was a personal mistake

15:59and it does not in any way reflect on the organization that I represent, Traffic.

16:03Very quickly, was this the first time that, in your words,

16:07your people were scammed in a raid that you did?

16:10No, we were almost always scammed.

16:14It just so happened that at that time, I really didn't like the middle finger.

16:18The usual scams are just words, things like that, glares.

16:23But at the end of the day, there is really no justification, Rafi.

16:28No amount of justification can justify that.

16:31Okay. Thank you very much for the time you shared in Balitang Hali.

16:35Thank you, Rafi. Thank you.

16:37Relieve Pauk spokesperson, Winston Cascio.
