00:00Before tonight, Senate President Cheese Escudero is preparing the offices of the Senate for the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte.
00:09Under Escudero's directive, the Senate Secretary will serve as Clerk of Court,
00:14who will assist the Presiding Officer in the impeachment trial.
00:19The Senate Legal Counsel and Deputy Secretary for Legislation will serve as Deputy Clerk.
00:25They will prepare the subpoenas, writ, summons, orders, resolutions, decisions, and other legal instruments.
00:32The Senate Sergeant-at-Arms will accompany the subpoenas and summons under the order of the Presiding Officer or Clerk of Court.
00:39The order will be valid until the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte is over,
00:44except if it will be revoked or amended.
00:47The DILG will investigate the convoy of PNP Chief Romel Marbil on Edsa Busway yesterday.
00:56Marbil explained that there was an emergency meeting in Camp Kramyang Convoy,
01:00but he was confused when asked if he was the driver.
01:04Joseph Moro has a report.
01:06On the passage of this vehicle on Edsa Busway last night,
01:10the DOT or Special Action Intelligence Committee for Transportation-Osaic asked
01:15who was the driver of the convoy.
01:18Who is that?
01:20Who?
01:21PNP Chief Romel Marbil.
01:23You're not allowed to pass through here sir.
01:25I already told you that.
01:27But earlier in the interview of Super Radio-DZBB,
01:30this is the answer of PNP Chief Romel Marbil.
01:33Okay. Just be categorical General. It was your convoy.
01:36I already told you that we don't have anything because the plate number was released.
01:40I will not say because the plate number was released.
01:43He also reiterated that the plate number should not be disclosed to the public.
01:47Let's come up with a protocol because you're not allowed to release a plate number.
01:51That's a privacy. You should not be ashamed.
01:54This was not killed, but of course, this is not an emergency.
02:01But earlier, the DOT or Special Action Intelligence Committee for Transportation-Osaic said
02:03that the video and posting it to the public of the operation
02:05is to ensure that there is no abuse taking place.
02:08The PNP also did not say who was in the convoy,
02:12except for the senior PNP officers.
02:15The DOT or Special Action Intelligence Committee for Transportation-Osaic also denied the reason
02:18why the convoy passed through the busway and promised to return to get a ticket.
02:27But Marbil said in an interview that the convoy was going
02:30to an emergency meeting in Camp Krame.
02:33The meeting because there's an operation last night.
02:36The ISLG will tell you what the accomplishment was last night.
02:40There's a law that in an emergency, you can use the bus lane.
02:44DILG Secretary John Vicremulia confirmed that he called Marbil but...
02:50I did not give instructions to violate any traffic laws to get there.
02:54Even I don't use the bus lane.
02:58We have a firm agreement with the MMDA that there is a zero-tolerance policy.
03:07They will investigate what happened.
03:10In the memorandum of the Department of Transportation to the MMDA,
03:14only five high-ranking government officials are allowed to pass through the busway.
03:20The President, Second President, Senate President, House Speaker, and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
03:26Aside from authorized buses, on-duty ambulances, firetrucks, and PNP vehicles can also pass through the busway.
03:33Even the service vehicles for the EDSA Busway Project.
03:37We are still waiting for the statement of Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon regarding the incident.
03:42But yesterday, he said something.
03:44It's illegal to use the busway. It's illegal. So don't do it.
03:48Joseph Morong reported for GMA Integrated News.
03:53A Chinese student was kidnapped and cut off by the tip of his finger.
03:58This is one of the reasons why his father in Pogo was arrested.
04:04Jun Veneracion has a report.
04:10A 14-year-old Chinese student was in a jammer and standing on Makapagal Avenue in Paranaque when authorities found him.
04:19He also has a bandage on his hand.
04:21According to the PNP and DILG, he was kidnapped on February 20 when he left school in Taguig.
04:27The driver who followed him was found dead inside another vehicle in Bulacan.
04:34The kidnappers first asked for a ransom of $20 million.
04:37But it was later lowered to $1 million.
04:41Yesterday, the kidnappers' group was followed by the police.
04:45That's why they chased the kidnappers until the kidnappers abandoned the gun.
04:50When the police brought the gun to his father,
04:53his father was asked to look at his son's hand.
04:56He has a bandage because the kidnappers cut off the tip of his finger
05:01to scare his parents.
05:03We saw that the kid was cut off by the tip of his finger.
05:09From the right.
05:11Right, sir.
05:12From the tip of his finger.
05:14According to the PNP and DILG, the family of the victim did not pay for the ransom.
05:19What we found here is his involvement in Pogo.
05:23We are also looking at the angle of Chinese vs. Chinese.
05:27The PNP is investigating another angle that has something to do with the business of the family of the victim.
05:32The father of the child is considered to be a big time in the field of e-selling.
05:36One of the persons of interest is the Chinese man in front of the gun.
05:41The Chinese man is inside a restaurant last year.
05:44It is possible that he has connections with a syndicate from Pogo Operations.
05:48We are definite that the syndicate behind the kidnapping is also a former operator of Pogo.
05:58According to the anti-crime advocate, Teresita Angsi, the driver who jumped on the victim has connections with Pogo.
06:05Because the driver used to work in a very big Pogo business in Clark.
06:12The driver has been with them for only one month.
06:16According to the PNP Anti-Kidnapping Group, this is the eighth kidnapping case this year.
06:21Five have been resolved and three are still being investigated.
06:25Most of the cases are connected to the suspension of the Pogo operation.
06:30President Bongbong Marcos is ordering the syndicates behind the kidnapping cases in the country to be alerted.
06:37Jun Veneracion reporting for GMA Integrated News.
06:42From Php 58 to Php 49 per kilo is the maximum suggested retail price of imported rice since March 1.
06:51According to the Agriculture Department, this is the first time that it is below the Php 50 mark.
06:58But it will only be implemented in Metro Manila and other key cities and urban centers.
07:03According to Secretary Francisco T. Laurel Jr.,
07:06imported rice is already below the maximum SRP in many provinces.
07:11They are still looking for ways to lower the price.
07:17According to the government, it is possible that the harvest season will last until March.
07:21The health department is continuously reminding the public to avoid the diseases that are usually caused when the weather is cold.
07:28That is the FitTrack report of Marismo Maggi.
07:35We managed to relax the neighbors who are senior citizens,
07:39Mrs. Aurora and Mrs. Marisa.
07:41They say that they can feel the fresh air in the afternoon.
07:44But at night, they say that the weather is getting colder.
07:48I still have a cold.
07:49When it's cold, I get a cold.
07:53According to the hope, the fresh air is still circulating.
07:56We're looking at the possibility of first until the second week of March or maybe it will extend until the third week of March.
08:02That is why the DOH is reminding the public to avoid the diseases that are usually caused when the weather is cold.
08:06Those who have comorbidities or other diseases,
08:09they can be hospitalized,
08:11have a secondary bacterial infection,
08:15have pneumonia,
08:16they can die if they are old and have other complications.
08:19Based on the surveillance of the Department of Health,
