00:00This is a sensitive video that you are about to watch.

00:05A boy in Cebu City was stabbed in the eye by a bullet while he was walking to school.

00:12Alan Domingo of GMA Regional TV has this report.

00:15The boy was asked by his grandfather because of the bullet that pierced his eye.

00:30He was placed in a monoblock and was carefully carried by the Bureau of Fire Protection to be taken to the hospital.

00:37It happened in Barangay Apas in Cebu City while the 10-year-old boy was about to go to school.

00:44Suddenly, a resident heard the cry of the boy and saw him standing while he was stabbed in the eye.

00:52I saw him, but I couldn't see his eyes.

00:58I asked the boy where he was going.

01:01He said he was going to school.

01:05I asked him where he was going.

01:07He said he was going to school.

01:09I asked him where he was going.

01:11Authorities are still investigating how the boy was stabbed in the eye using a cable to support the wound.

01:20The boy is still being taken to the hospital.

01:23The Department of Social Welfare Services promised to help with his treatment.

01:29Alan Domingo of GMA Regional TV has this report for GMA Integrated News.

01:35Let's take a look at Christmas lights.

01:38Meralco's electricity bill is going up this November.

01:41The electricity bill is almost 43 cents per kilowatt-hour.

01:46That's 85 pesos more than the electric bill of houses that consume 200 kilowatt-hours.

01:53The consumption is 213 pesos per 500 kilowatt-hours.

01:58According to Meralco, one of the reasons for the increase in electricity bill is the rise in demand for electricity

02:03and the decrease in the price of electricity, which is affecting the electricity bill of power producers.

02:09Houses collapsed and some of the houses left by Hurricane Mika in Northern Luzon were submerged.

02:16In the province of Aurora, some rivers overflowed, so some residents could not get help.

02:22From the city of Kasiguran, we have a live report from Darlene Cai.

02:26Darlene?

02:30There is still no electricity in the city of Kasiguran in Aurora.

02:33Some posts of electricity collapsed and were damaged when the hurricane hit here.

02:39That's why some affected residents are relying on candles, gas stoves, or some solar-powered lights.

02:47We can also feel the pain of Hurricane Mika in other provinces or places in Northern Luzon.

03:02This house in Taguntungan, Bagao, Cagayan was flooded by a river.

03:06That happened in the middle of the storm of Hurricane Mika last night.

03:09No one is inside because the owner is in Tuguegarao City.

03:14In Tuguegarao City, the owner of this house helped to transport the groceries.

03:20Last time, it only took 30 to 45 minutes for the water to reach the house.

03:26The vendor put the refrigerator and vegetables in the sidecar.

03:32When the morning came, this is what happened to the residents.

03:36The income of their house was only a small amount.

03:39More than 3,000 residents of Luzon are still in the evacuation center.

03:43Don't let them go home because it's hard for them to evacuate.

03:46If the storm comes again, it will flood for sure.

03:49We have a problem.

03:51As you can see, the flood has spread to the towns of Solana and Alcala.

03:56Cagayan is still in a state of calamity in October.

03:59Their problem now is that their calamity fund is running out.

04:03The LGU is asking the national government for additional funds.

04:08According to the President last week, the quick response fund of the government is running out.

04:13But he said, don't worry, it will be funded again.

04:16Historically, as early as October or sometimes September,

04:20the calamity fund of the national and local government is running out.

04:24But the government always has a fund.

04:27And we have assurance from the DBM that we have enough funds for the next calamities

04:33until the end of December.

04:40In Dilasag, Aurora, where the storm landed,

04:43100% of the town was flooded.

04:47The roof of Nana Ileonita's house was hit by strong winds.

04:50It was very strong.

04:52And my neighbor was moving up and up.

04:56So, I was really scared.

05:00The water level is still high and the storm is strong here.

05:04That's why the barangay of Diagyan cannot go to the municipality of Dilasag in Aurora.

05:11Even the motorists going to Dinapigue, Isabela, cannot pass.

05:16We are trying to contact them now.

05:19The river is still isolated.

05:22Even if it's sunny today, we still cannot cross.

05:28So, what will happen is that the rain will reach them when the water level is low?

05:32Yes, that's what will happen.

05:34In the neighboring town of Kasiguran,

05:36all 100 banana trees were hit by strong winds in this farm.

05:41I hope that someone will help us.

05:43We lost our food.

05:45That's our problem.

05:47Family food packs were given to the affected residents.

05:50There is still no power in the town of Kasiguran and Dilasag.

05:53The communication line is having a hard time.

05:56Roofs were removed.

05:58Trees were cut down.

05:59Trees were cut down.

06:02The storm left a trail in Santiago City, Isabela.

06:06Some places were flooded.

06:09It was as if the flood washed away the crops in the towns of Ilagan and Tumawini.

06:19According to Kasiguran MDRMO,

06:22Aurelco is trying to get the electricity supply back to the town.

06:26That is the latest from Kasiguran Aurora.

06:29Back to you, Ato.

06:31Thank you very much, Darlene Kai.

06:34The hearing of the House Quad Committee on the Duterte Drug War was canceled.

06:40Some witnesses are still confirming the testimonies.

06:44Despite this, former President Rodrigo Duterte insisted that he will still go to the camera because they were not abused.

06:51In defense of the House Quad Committee, they did not receive a confirmation that Duterte will attend the hearing.

06:58They sent a postponed hearing.

07:01This evening, former Presidential Spokesperson Salvador Panelo said in a video that was not received notice,

07:08Duterte's camp on the cancellation of the hearing.

07:11He will still go there in the morning.

07:14Tomorrow, Duterte will go to the camera to talk to the congressmen on when the hearing can continue.

07:21Thank you very much.

07:51It will move at a speed of 2.5 km per hour.

07:53It is possible that it will landfall on the island of Cagayan or Isabela on Thursday.

07:58Aside from the Ophel Storm, the Tropical Storm Mani is also being monitored.

08:03If it will enter the PAR, it will be called the Pepito Storm.

08:07It is still far, but in the initial outlook of Pagasa, it is possible that it will approach the Bicol Region or Eastern Visayas this Sunday.

08:15This Sunday.

08:16As for the Metro Weather, the chance of rain is still low tomorrow morning.

08:21But in the afternoon, there is a chance of rain in some parts of Luzon and Visayas.

08:26It is also possible that it will rain heavily in Mindanao.

08:30In the afternoon, it is also possible that it will rain in some parts of Metro Manila.

08:34More than Corona, the Drag Queens were able to win by participating in a prestigious competition.

08:41In my interview, Maxie and Angel will tell us how they were overcome by the trials and tribulations of their family.

09:02This is not just a show, but a fantasy created by the two queens of the Galac family.

09:09Who are Maxie and Angel?

09:13From the high-ranking colorete to the fancy clothes, the siblings became the standard of being fabulous.

09:20Under their glamorous dress as drag queens, the girls left discrimination and stigma of society.

09:29It is not a secret that there are still those who do not understand, there is discrimination, there is contempt.

09:36What are the personal experiences there?

09:39When we were young, we were gay.

09:42The group of street dancers.

09:46Every time we pass by, we throw garbage, diaper, and bottles.

09:51It was recess time, and Yema borrowed me a mocha because she didn't like me as a classmate because I was gay.

09:59Instead of being fired, they chose to rebel and fight for themselves.

10:05Did you reach the point where you fought?

10:07Yes! A lot!

10:10We are gay, Andres. We are fighters.

10:13We can't be thrown garbage, we can't be allowed to do that.

10:16We also fight back.

10:19If you want to fight, open up.

10:22If outside the house, there are those who are proud of their self-confidence,

10:27inside their home, they found the foundation of their determination to fight for their rights.

10:34Growing up, I had a very good relationship with my parents.

10:38We came out.

10:40What's good about my father is that he has a gay and transgender sibling.

10:46And in our family, we have a lot of LGBTQ.

10:50As long as Angel has confidence, she will accept and fight for herself with the help of her brother, Maxie.

10:57He's my motivation. He's my role model.

10:59Before anything happened to me, he advised me to face it like this.

11:04But you just have to be calm.

11:06He's the one who told me,

11:08Okay, I won't have a hard time to enter this path that I chose because he's there.

11:15Despite the strong will of their parents to love,

11:19the siblings were more reluctant to accept their fate

11:22when they both participated in a prestigious drag competition.

11:25The siblings made it to the top four,

11:28and Maxie even took Corona home as a drag superstar.

11:32For Maxie and Angel, they took home more than Corona,

11:37but acceptance.

11:39It's not right for you to humiliate us.

11:43We are also children of God.

11:45It's better.

11:47We accept because they lack education.

11:50So I hope they listen, I hope they be open-minded.

11:52I hope in the future, we will just be normal people.

11:57This world is for you and me.

12:00If we open up, we will open up right.
