00:00Let's be together, we'll be...

00:08Saksi!

00:15Tragedy! A Filipino mountaineer climbed the highest mountain in the world, Mt. Everest.

00:22The engineer, who is advocating for children with cancer, passed away.

00:28Saksi is Raffi Pima.

00:34Here, literally, a person can be said to be at the top of the world.

00:37The summit of Mt. Everest is at an altitude of 28,000 feet.

00:42The climate and surroundings, such as the avalanche or rapid snowfall,

00:46are even more challenging than climbing.

00:50Despite that, not less than 6 Filipinos were able to reach the top in 2006 and 2007.

00:57After 18 years, Engineer Philip E.J. Santiago also took part in the so-called Climb of a Lifetime.

01:03Ever since I was a child, I've always had this urge of wanting to see the edge and to come back and tell my story about it.

01:12But the engineer has other uses for his climb.

01:15Not only for himself, but also to support his advocacy for the Clean Water Philippines and the fight against children's cancer.

01:22Pure children's cancer.

01:25Climbing Mt. Everest is very little compared to the paddles these little warriors are facing every day.

01:35And we aim to give attention and awareness to their plight and for their cause.

01:43P.J. has gone through a long preparation for the Mt. Everest Summit Climb,

01:47including running a marathon of 42 kilometers while wearing a backpack weighing 15 kilos.

01:56P.J. also participated in the Ice and Snow Climb Training.

01:59He went back and forth to Nepal twice to climb the Everest Base Camp in 2023 and a small mountain last year.

02:06This April, he went to Nepal for the summit,

02:10with his cousin Carl Santiago as the base camp support staff.

02:14Engineer P.J. is part of a climbing group of climbers from different countries.

02:19Last week, his group was hit by an avalanche.

02:23Although he was partially unconscious and injured on his back,

02:26he was pushed to the summit by his doctor after a six-day break.

02:31In Camp 4, he was last seen alive.

02:34Every year, climbers die on Mt. Everest.

02:37Based on the data from the Himalayan Database recorded by the Nepal-Himalayan Expeditions,

02:42there are 340 climbers from 1921 to September last year.

02:47This year, Philip is the first non-local climber to die in the mountains.

02:52To this day, he has yet to lower his head.

02:55It is not yet clear what is the cause of his death.

02:58Family, friends, supporters and sponsors, we thank you.

03:03Together, let's do this.

03:06For GMA Integrated News, I am Raffy Pimang, your witness.

03:12Arrested in Pampanga, a man was forced to run away from a school in Aklan.

03:17The victim ran away to a dormitory where the suspect is a caretaker.

03:21Witness, Emil Sumangil exclusive.

03:24Exclusive.

03:27Come here. Come here.

03:30PNP Maritime Group operatives did not allow Elias Roger to be arrested in Bacolor, Pampanga.

03:38He was wanted in Aklan because of a robbery.

03:41We knew that there would be an election.

03:43Maybe he did not know that the police were busy and his case would not be known.

03:50The victim is a 19-year-old college tenant in a dormitory where the suspect is a caretaker.

03:56Did you forcefully do this?

03:57No, sir. What happened is what happened.

04:00The victim refused to give a statement in GMA Integrated News.

04:03Police and public should remind those who are dormitory residents.

04:06They should be aware of their surroundings.

04:08They should know how to treat a person.

04:12At the same time, they should not trust everything.

04:16For GMA Integrated News, I am Emil Sumangil.

04:20Saksi!

04:22It is possible for a woman to cut her foot after being beaten and raped in Sahig, Pasig.

04:29The suspect who did this is a drunkard.

04:33Saksi! This is EJ Gomez.

04:39The cry of a woman after being raped by a man in Barangay Santolan, Pasig.

04:47I will report you.

04:50According to the owner of the house, his cousin, the man who was hurt by his mistress, Kikiam.

04:56The video was not captured, but the suspect beat the woman several times before she was taken to Sahig.

05:04Then he said, you're biting me.

05:07Suddenly, he chased me with slippers.

05:10He kicked me. He kicked me.

05:14It hurts because he kicked me.

05:16It hurts and I can hear him crying.

05:19He was just lying on one side.

05:22He couldn't stand up. He was very dizzy.

05:24Of course, he was weak.

05:26His cousin was taken to the veterinary. But...

05:28If he doesn't recover from the medicine, he might cut one of his feet.

05:34Because there's a crack. Sometimes, there's a bone.

05:36According to several witnesses, the suspect who was drunk ran away from the scene.

05:42The suspect threatened the owner of the house.

05:44If I see that, I will kill him. Don't show me that dog.

05:49After the incident, the suspect went to the barangay to report that he was bitten by the dog.

05:55But the barangay said that they didn't see the dog bite the suspect.

05:59At first, he was bluffing. He said that he was bitten by a dog.

06:03He was drunk when he did this.

06:05The suspect tried to call the barangay for a road tricycle driver, but he didn't answer.

06:11When they saw the tricycle, they said that it was a different driver.

06:15The barangay said that there was no one there.

06:19He ran away. He hid. He went to the barangay.

06:22The owner of the house decided to continue the complaint.

06:27According to the Philippine Animal Welfare Society,

06:29being drunk is not the reason for the animals to get sick.

06:32This is clearly an act of cruelty.

06:36This is the exact act that is prohibited by the Animal Welfare Act.

06:41A society that is civilized will protect its weakest members,

06:47those who cannot speak, those who cannot fight.

06:51Anyone who will be proven guilty under the Animal Welfare Act

06:54can be jailed for one to two years.

06:57They called on the suspect to surrender.

07:00For JMA Integrated News, I am EJ Gomez, your witness.

07:06The National Board of Canvassers is expecting tomorrow

07:17the resolution for the proclamation of the 12 winning senators.

07:22The NBOC released the official canvass report last night.

07:25Our witness is Jamie Santos.

07:27The Secretary-General directed to issue the corresponding letters of invitation

07:34to the 12 winning senatorial candidates,

07:37and likewise for the Supervisory Group to recommend to us

07:41the exact date when the proclamation of the winning party-list groups,

07:47organizations, or parties will be held.

07:50But definitely the National Board of Canvassers has decided

07:55to proceed first with the proclamation of the winning candidates for senators by Saturday.

08:03Comelec Chairman George Garcia ordered the Supervisory Committee

08:07to issue a resolution for the proclamation of the 12 winning senators on Saturday.

08:13In the final and official canvass issued by Comelec,

08:16which includes the National Board of Canvassers,

08:19included in Magic 12 of the Senatorial Elections,

08:22Sinabong Go, Bam Aquino, Bato De La Rosa, Erwin Tulfo, Kiko Pangilinan, Rodante Marcoleta,

08:30Ping Lackson, Tito Soto, Pia Cayetano, Camille Villar, Lito Lapid, and Aimee Marcos.

08:37The NBOC issued the official report for the session last night.

08:41It was also audited to determine the correct number of votes.

08:45In the party-list group, the top 15, based on the votes and rankings of Comelec,

08:51included Akbayan, Duterte Youth, Tingog, For Peace, AKCIS, Ako Bicol, Uswag Ilonggo, Solid North,

09:00Trabajo, Sibak, Malasakit at Bayanihan, Senior Citizen, PPP, ML, and FPJ Bayanihan.

09:09On Monday, the proclamation of the winning party-list group,

09:1282.2% of the total registered Filipino voters voted for the election of 2025,

09:19which is the highest percentage of voter turnout in the country's midterm elections in history,

09:25according to the Commission on Election.

09:27The Commission on Election would like to express our deepest appreciation to the Filipino people.

09:32This is the first time again in our history that we registered an 82.2% voters turnout,

09:41the highest in a midterm election.

09:43For JMA Integrated News, I am Jaime Santos, your witness.

09:49The court in Pampanga arrested Attorney Harry Roque, Cassandra Ong, and 48 others

09:55for the non-bailable case of Qualified Human Trafficking by POGO in Purak, Pampanga.

10:01Roque is the witness of Darlene Cai.

10:08The last time the public saw the former presidential spokesperson Harry Roque in the Hague, Netherlands,

10:12where he asked for asylum after the problems faced by the POGO operation in the country.

10:18Now, he is being arrested by the Pampanga Regional Trial Court Branch 118

10:23for the case of Qualified Human Trafficking.

10:26In the warrant signed by President Judge Rene Reyes on May 8,

10:30he was found guilty of probable cause in his connection with the illegal Lucky South 99 POGO Hub in Purak, Pampanga,

10:36which was the source of scam, torture, and other crimes.

10:39The case against them is non-bailable.

10:42Roque was first alleged, and he was said to be a lawyer of Whirlwind Corporation,

10:46which owns the land that Lucky South 99 was built on.

10:49Roque was also arrested by the House of Representatives

10:52for not attending the Quadcom hearings of the POGO operations.

10:56In an interview, Roque said that he can't afford to do what he is doing,

11:01and he will include it in his application for asylum in the Netherlands.

11:05He is a victim of political persecution by the Marcos administration

11:09because he is an ally of the Dutertes.

11:11He will do his best to get legal remedies to take care of his life and freedom, which is now under threat.

11:18He will not leave the country because he is guilty

11:20if it is not part of his human right to get asylum.

11:24Cassandra Ong, the former authorized representative of Lucky South 99,

11:28was also arrested by the court in Pampanga.

11:31Former Technology and Livelihood Resource Center Deputy Director General Dennis Conanan

11:36and 47 others are also involved in the case.

11:39GMA Integrated News is also trying to ask for their help.

11:43For GMA Integrated News, I am Darlene Kaye, your witness.

11:47A truck in Negros Oriental collided with a car.

11:51Five cars were hit by a car in Cavite.

11:55Witness, Bam Alegre.

12:01The car ran slowly because of the traffic jam on the National Highway

12:05in Noveleta, Cavite on Tuesday morning.

12:07That's why a barangay man hit the car.

12:11But later, the car suddenly ran fast.

12:13It went straight to the other lane and hit a van.

12:17When it hit the van, it stopped again.

12:21Suddenly, it backed up.

12:24When it backed up, it hit our streetlight.

12:29The CCTV also captured the car backing up and crashing into a house.

12:35Then, it stopped.

12:36Suddenly, the car crashed again.

12:38It hit a multi-purpose hall in front of the barangay.

12:43A rider, a parked tricycle and a car were also hit.

12:47Three barangay employees were also hit.

12:49Another rider was also hit.

12:51He was left stranded on the road.

12:53The car was stopped by several barangay workers.

12:57Here is the bumper of the car.

12:58This is the house that it hit when it backed up.

13:02Here, you can also see the bruise left by the car.

13:04The bruise is still visible to this day.

13:07According to the barangay,

13:08they brought the woman driver who was killed to the hospital.

13:10While talking to the authorities,

13:12they also brought the injured to the hospital.

13:15She is currently in the hospital.

13:17She is recovering.

13:19Because of the accident, she got a fracture in her leg.

13:25Her bone was broken.

13:28We decided to file a lawsuit.

13:33The investigation is ongoing.

13:35It is also being investigated as to why the driver lost control of the car.

13:39Yesterday, a truck fell off the road in Mabinay, Negros, Oriental.

13:42Based on the investigation, the driver lost control

13:45while the lower part of the national highway was being saved.

13:48Then, on arrival at the hospital,

13:50the 57-year-old driver was hospitalized

13:52after the truck was hit.

13:53The truck driver was saved

13:55after the truck fell off the road.

13:57The investigation is ongoing.

13:59For GMA Integrated News, I am Bam Alegre,

14:01your Saksi.

14:04According to Cassandra Ong's lawyer,

14:06Atty. Ferdinand Tapasol,

14:07she cannot give her consent

14:09until the warrant is not studied.

14:11She also cannot confirm

14:13if her client is still in the country.

14:17Meanwhile,

14:18Senate President Cheese Escudero

14:20does not want to discuss

14:21if there will be a change

14:23in the Senate's leadership in July.

14:25That's in the middle of the Senate's preparations

14:27for the impeachment trial

14:28of Vice President Sara Duterte.

14:31Saksi, this is Tina Panganiban-Perez.

14:35After the election,

14:37you will start again.

14:39Let it pass.

14:40Senate President Cheese Escudero

14:42does not want to discuss

14:44the Senate's leadership.

14:46If the majority of the Senators

14:48will not support it,

14:50he will still be the Senate President

14:52of the 20th Congress.

14:5413 votes or more

14:56is needed to become Senate President.

14:58One of the Senators

15:00is the former Senate President

15:02Tito Soto.

15:03Whoever among us,

15:05including Senator Soto,

15:07has the ability,

15:08he should not turn away

15:10the responsibility

15:12and the challenge

15:14given by the confidence

15:16of the majority of the Senators.

15:18Soto said,

15:19he will ask his fellow Senators

15:21to make the decision.

15:23But he is ready to accept

15:25any job and responsibility

15:27given to him.

15:29It is important for the Senate's leadership

15:31to be planned,

15:33especially if it has additional work

15:35as an impeachment court.

15:37Next week, the Senate's notice

15:39will be sent to the House

15:41to inform that they need to present

15:43the impeachment charges

15:45against Vice President Sara Duterte.

15:47Escudero thinks

15:49that the decision of the Senators

15:51will be affected by their own party

15:53or even those who endorsed them.

15:55It depends on their

15:57personal opinion and decision

15:59and not dictated by the party.

16:01You may have seen on social media

16:03that the positions of those

16:05who were endorsed before are changing.

16:07And even if the opposing factions

16:09face each other,

16:11Escudero expects that

16:13the impeachment trial will not be a circus.

16:15Veterans,

16:17they will be subject to legislation

16:19and parliamentary rules.

16:21Emotional outbursts.

16:23That's part of it, but we will maintain order

16:25and we will keep order within the impeachment court.

16:27We will make sure of that.

16:29With the help, of course, of the other members

16:31as well as the sergeant-at-arms, if necessary.

16:33He also calls on his fellow Senators

16:35not to comment

16:37regarding the impeachment.

16:39It is appropriate to serve

16:41as a prosecutor in the impeachment trial

16:43the party-list nominees

16:45were appointed by Chel Jokno of ACT-BAYAN

16:47and former Sen. Laila de Lima

16:49of ML Party-List.

16:51House Speaker Martin Romaldez

16:53is the one who proposed this to them

16:55even though they have not yet been proclaimed.

16:57I said that I am open

16:59and we have been pursuing ACT-BAYAN

17:01for a long time

17:03to gain accountability

17:05from our public officials.

17:07He said that they would be

17:09delighted or they would be

17:11good for the prosecution team

17:13if I join them.

17:15At first, I said, can I give it a serious thought

17:17and consideration? He said,

17:19we need your immediate answer

17:21because we are making plans already, etc.

17:23So I said yes.

17:25Jokno and De Lima are lawyers

17:27with long experience.

17:29In 2001,

17:31during the impeachment trial of

17:33President Joseph Estrada,

17:35Jokno became a part

17:37as a private prosecutor.

17:39According to Romaldez,

17:41they have credibility,

17:43balance, and depth in this process

17:45mandated by the Constitution.

17:47It is not targeting

17:49anyone but

17:51fulfilling their duties

17:53in the law of integrity.

17:55De Lima is

17:57one of the most critical

17:59of former President Rodrigo Duterte

18:01and under his

18:03administration,

18:05the loyal senator was arrested

18:07in an accusation related to drugs.

18:09De Lima was jailed for almost 7 years

18:11until the courts

18:13dismissed all the cases

18:15against him. But De Lima clarified

18:17that it is not up to the Dutertes

18:19to allow him to

18:21be the prosecutor for Duterte's son,

18:23Vice President Sara.

18:25Some people would again

18:27be saying that maybe

18:29she's doing this out of

18:31vendetta, out of

18:33vindictiveness. No, it's not.

18:35It's all about really contributing

18:37to the

18:39attainment of justice

18:41and accountability.

18:43According to party list nominee Laila De Lima

18:45and Kjell Jokno,

18:47they haven't talked about

18:49what articles of impeachment

18:51they want to hold or will hold.

18:53But they are sure

18:55that they are well prepared for the impeachment trial.

18:57Like what I've experienced

18:59before

19:01in the impeachment process,

19:03the evidence

19:05is strong.

19:07The witnesses and the

19:09executives, that's going to require the same

19:11kind of preparation that a lawyer does

19:13before a trial

19:15in court. It's almost the same.

19:17A lot of people

19:19are watching those proceedings.

19:21So if the evidence is really strong

19:23and the presentation is good,

19:25the presentation of the

19:27prosecution panel is clear,

19:29it will also be clear in the minds

19:31of people. And therefore,

19:33the public opinion

19:35will be a factor.

19:37The individual senators

19:39who will be voting for either acquittal

19:41or conviction will have

19:43to take that into consideration

19:45that ultimately,

19:47the people will be the ones to judge.

19:49For GMA Integrated News,

19:51I'm Tina Panganiban-Perez,

19:53your witness.

19:5520

19:57Kadiwa Centers in some parts of

19:59Metro Manila, Bulacan, Cavite,

20:01Laguna, Mindoro, and Rizal

20:03were added to those

20:05selling 20 pesos per kilo of rice.

20:07Some of them

20:09ran out early.

20:11Witness, Bernadette Reyes.

20:15Like in many places,

20:17the first day of selling

20:1920 pesos per kilo of rice

20:21was also in some parts of Luzon.

20:23It was also the same in the third day

20:25of selling in Kamuning Market in

20:27Quezon City. In Kadiwa Market,

20:29and in Elliptical Road in Quezon City,

20:31it ran out early.

20:33The challenge is logistics and manpower.

20:35There's a shortage of trucks,

20:37drivers, and sellers.

20:39That's why we're selling.

20:41Aside from the trucks being lent

20:43by the National Food Authority

20:45and LGUs,

20:47Food Terminal Incorporated

20:49is adding more vehicles

20:51to transport rice.

20:53But more people still need to be added.

20:55We need more drivers

20:57to continue

20:59our supply to Kadiwa Stores

21:01and wherever possible.

21:03It's not possible to import rice

21:05to Kadiwa Stores because of the limited space.

21:07That's why Kadiwa Stores

21:09are researching

21:11the NFA warehouse.

21:13The stocks are just at the back.

21:15So you solve the logistics problem

21:17in those areas.

21:19This is the 20 pesos of rice

21:21being sold in different Kadiwa Centers

21:23in different parts of the country.

21:25As you can see, the rice is white.

21:27But there are some imperfections

21:29and broken grains

21:31because this is 25% broken rice.

21:33It's just right.

21:35It's soft

21:37and a bit hard.

21:39But it's delicious.

21:41It's delicious to eat.

21:43It's delicious. I'll buy it.

21:45We're just nearby.

21:47They're also continuing

21:49to sell cheap rice

21:51in different places in Visayas.

21:53We're planning to expand

21:55until Mindanao for this year

21:57and maybe

21:59some parts of Visayas and Luzon.

22:01We're choosing

22:03the places based on

22:05the poverty incidence

22:07and the highest.

22:09For GMA Integrated News,

22:11Bernadette Reyes is your witness.

22:15More than 100 families were evacuated

22:17due to floods in Barangay Moonwalk

22:19in Paranaque this Monday.

22:21Here are the residents

22:23of Cavitex C5 Link Expressway.

22:25Ian Cruz is your witness.

22:31Because of the high tide,

22:33the wife of Jezabel

22:35and other neighbors

22:37were stuck in the refrigerator

22:39where Cosmel Oro was staying.

22:41Some of them got stuck in a boat

22:43and some of them got stuck in a motorcycle.

22:45They also had to rescue

22:47a baby who was only 3 days old.

22:49The high street flooded

22:51Barangay Moonwalk, Paranaque on Monday.

22:53Until a while ago,

22:55parts of the street were still flooded.

22:57It's very difficult.

22:59Because of the work,

23:01the fog for the children,

23:03the smell is very bad.

23:05I hope we can all help

23:07here in the high street.

23:09Everyone was affected

23:11by this situation

23:13because of what Cavitex is doing.

23:15All the water will go in.

23:17They will block the road.

23:19Two cars were also flooded.

23:21Chris Villanueva is an actor.

23:23He is talking to homeowners

23:25for the next step.

23:27I'm talking to other residents

23:29here.

23:31They said they will sign a petition

23:33to my mother

23:35because she is a resident here.

23:37I think

23:39it's for the damages.

23:41The residents are blaming

23:43the construction

23:45of Cavitex C5 Blink Expressway.

23:47The captain of Barangay Moonwalk

23:49has already talked to the

23:51residents here.

23:53They noticed the

23:55movement of Libho Creek

23:57because of the flood.

23:59In the screenshot of the barangay

24:01on Google Earth Map,

24:03the portion of the creek

24:05next to Don Gallo River

24:07outside Manila Bay is almost

24:09erased from the map.

24:11The water flow

24:13is because of the garbage.

24:15That's according to them.

24:17They miscalculated the amount

24:19of garbage.

24:21The river is still carrying

24:23rainwater from the nearby Ia Complex,

24:25Pasay, and other nearby areas.

24:27More than 800 families are affected

24:29in Barangay Moonwalk

24:31and more than 100 families were evacuated.

24:33The nearby barangay of Santo Nino

24:35was also affected by the flood.

24:37The MPT South Management Corporation

24:39said they made a temporary

24:41equipment for the Cavitex

24:43C5 Blink Expressway.

24:45They installed a three-meter

24:47pipe to allow the water

24:49to flow through the creek.

24:51But they couldn't do it

24:53because of the large volume of water

24:55and garbage.

24:57According to the request of the local authorities,

24:59they removed the temporary

25:01pipe and made a garbage cleanup.

25:03For GMI Integrated News,

25:05I'm Ian Cruz, your witness.

25:08Experts will explain

25:10the possible reasons

25:12behind the first win

25:14in the Senate.

25:16This is Joseph Moro.

25:21Based on partial and official results

25:23as of 4 p.m. today,

25:25Senator Bong Go is a clear front-runner.

25:27In a survey conducted

25:29by GMI Integrated News Research

25:31from the data of Comelec,

25:33almost half of Go's votes

25:36were transmitted by election returns

25:38from Mindanao,

25:40Eastern Visayas, and National Capital Region

25:42where he is the first

25:44in five cities or towns.

25:46Of the 26 million votes,

25:489 million came from Mindanao

25:50while 5 million came from Visayas.

25:52Of the 82 provinces in the Philippines,

25:54Go is number one

25:56in 45 provinces

25:58including some provinces

26:00in the Cordillera Administrative Region,

26:02Batanes, Nueva Vizcaya,

26:04and even the latest in Visayas,

26:06known as Baluarte by Marcos and Romualdez.

26:08Explained by political analyst

26:10Professor Jeanne Franco,

26:12these votes for Go

26:14support former President Rodrigo Duterte.

26:16The Duterte surge

26:18can be attributed to

26:20Bong Go being number one

26:22and also he was able to plant

26:24in the sense that

26:26the Malasakit Centers

26:28have been closely identified

26:30with Bong Go.

26:32Congressman Rodante Marcoleta

26:34is also number six

26:36due to his low number in surveys.

26:38According to Professor Franco,

26:40the support of the Dutertes helped.

26:42They say it's the Church,

26:44but the population of the Church

26:46is only 2.8 million.

26:48So even if they do black voting,

26:50it's very rare

26:52to get that many.

26:54And in 2.8,

26:56not all of them are registered voters.

26:58Marcoleta figured in

27:00during the Quadcom hearings.

27:02That's why Marcoleta,

27:04who was born in Tarlac,

27:06was also brought by Mindanao

27:08who gave him more than 5 million votes.

27:10He was also able to get

27:1247 million votes in Luzon regions

27:14and almost 3 million from Visayas.

27:16According to the political analyst

27:18we talked to,

27:20the public's sentiment

27:22on what's happening in the country

27:24and on themselves

27:26as a result of the election 2025.

27:28If we're talking about the cases

27:30of Bam Aquino and

27:32Kiko Pangilinan,

27:34I think they served as

27:36alternative candidates

27:38for the voters

27:40who are tired of

27:42the two political camps,

27:44the administration

27:46versus the Duterte camp.

27:48The number two, Aquino,

27:50is top-notch in 21 provinces.

27:5214 million

27:54out of 20 million votes

27:56came from Luzon and

27:584 million from Visayas.

28:00But he was still able to get

28:02more than 2 million votes in Mindanao.

28:04If Bam Aquino packaged himself

28:06as the one who authored

28:08the free college tuition,

28:10then that would have moved

28:12some young voters

28:14and even the parents

28:16to select him.

28:18Secondly, the Aquino

28:20family name.

28:22Kiko Pangilinan was also

28:24able to get endorsements

28:26from some leaders in Mindanao.

28:28Pangilinan was able to get

28:301.6 million votes,

28:32but like Aquino,

28:34he ran out of votes in Luzon,

28:36especially in vote-rich regions

28:38like Southern Tagalog,

28:40National Capital Region,

28:42Central Luzon, and Bicol.

28:44He ranked fifth in the unofficial

28:46and partial count.

28:48In the slate,

28:50President Bongbong Marcos

28:52was the only one

28:54who was elected.

29:00Representative Toby Tsiangko

29:02was the campaign manager

29:04of the administration ticket

29:06that affected their support

29:08for the impeachment

29:10against Vice President Sara Duterte.

29:12As soon as the impeachment was filed,

29:14which I will make it clear,

29:16I'm not in favor,

29:18I'm not against,

29:20I'm a self-inflicted unit.

29:22According to Tsiangko,

29:24this is the reason why they

29:26stopped going to Mindanao.

29:28For GMA Integrated,

29:30I'm Joseph Morong, your witness.

29:32More than P600 million

29:34worth of shabu that was hidden

29:36inside tea bags

29:38was confiscated by the police

29:40in Pampanga.

29:42Witness, Chino Gaston.

29:46It was found inside

29:48a tea bag containing

29:50hundreds of kilos of shabu.

29:52It was confiscated by the authorities

29:54in a buy-bust operation

29:56in Santo Domingo, Angeles City, Pampanga.

29:58A 31-year-old Chinese

30:00and a 24-year-old

30:02Filipino were arrested.

30:04They are facing

30:06a complaint of selling

30:08and possession of illegal drugs.

30:10According to PDEA and the police,

30:12the street value of shabu

30:14was more than P680 million.

30:16The tea bags,

30:18it's either traffic, it's transit,

30:20it's either, sometimes in Vietnam,

30:22sometimes in Malaysia,

30:24depending on the track of the syndicate.

30:26According to the PNP,

30:28it's possible that these were sent

30:30to Visayas or Mindanao if not seen.

30:32Imagine a fraction of that

30:34101 kilos reaching

30:36the communities in Central Luzon.

30:38We are very thankful

30:40to PDEA for their

30:42hard work here.

30:44The possible distribution was not continued.

30:46Earlier this morning,

30:4830 kilos of shabu

30:50that were packed in the tea bags

30:52were confiscated in another buy-bust operation

30:54in North Zagaray, Bulacan.

30:56Two women and one male

30:58suspect were arrested.

31:00Their SUV was also confiscated

31:02where the drugs were stored.

31:04The syndicate's

31:06search for the mastermind

31:08is still ongoing.

31:10They really talked to

31:12the police.

31:14They said

31:16he's Chinese.

31:18Before, the authorities

31:20confiscated the drugs in green tea bags.

31:22According to the police,

31:24this is a record of which syndicate

31:26the owner of the drugs

31:28came from in the Golden Triangle

31:30or the border areas of Thailand,

31:32China, Laos, and Myanmar.

31:34For GMA Integrated News,

31:36who is your witness?

31:38More than 50%

31:40of cases of sore eyes

31:42or conjunctivitis

31:44in Dagupan City.

31:46According to the City Health Office,

31:4828 cases were reported from January

31:50to April this year.

31:52This is higher than the 16 cases

31:54reported at the same time

31:56in 2024.

31:58The symptoms of sore eyes

32:00include red eyes,

32:02sneezing, and coughing.

32:04According to the City Health Officer,

32:06it can last up to

32:08two weeks.

32:10Cold compress

32:12and hand washing

32:14are said to help.

32:16The Court of Appeals

32:18is returning the drug case

32:20of former Senator Laila Dalima

32:22to the Muntinlupa RTC Branch 204

32:24where she was released in 2023.

32:26According to Dalima's camp,

32:28this doesn't mean

32:30that Dalima is back in jail.

32:32Witness, Darlene Cai.

32:36Answered prayers,

32:38and glorious day.

32:42This is the beginning

32:44of my vindication.

32:46May 2023,

32:48former Senator Laila Dalima

32:50was acquitted by the Muntinlupa RTC

32:52Branch 204

32:54in the R.A. 9165 case

32:56or Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act

32:58related to the alleged possession

33:00of drugs in the area.

33:02The accusation against Dalima

33:04was brought to the Justice Secretary

33:06from the drug trade in 2012

33:08for his senatorial campaign.

33:10Former Bureau of Corrections

33:12or YC Rafael Ragos

33:14is one of those who brought money

33:16to Dalima's house in Paranaque.

33:18But in the end,

33:20Ragos returned his testimony

33:22and said he was just scared.

33:24In the decision of the Muntinlupa RTC

33:26Branch 204,

33:28Ragos received a reasonable doubt

33:30about his return,

33:32but Ragos insisted that

33:34the decision was justified.

33:36The RTC

33:38made the decision in July of that year.

33:40The Solicitor General

33:42filed a petition for certiorari

33:44in the Court of Appeals in September 2023.

33:46Now, the decision of the

33:48CA 8th Division has been issued.

33:50The case was ordered to be returned

33:52to the Muntinlupa RTC Branch 204.

33:54In the decision of the CA,

33:56it was said that the only basis

33:58for the acquittal of Dalima

34:00was the return of Ragos' testimony.

34:02But there was no detailed discussion

34:04about the statements that Ragos returned.

34:06That's why it's hard to understand

34:08the reason for the court's decision.

34:10The court was confused

34:12as to which of Ragos' statements

34:14was returned,

34:16the effect of the statements

34:18in the prosecutions,

34:20and what part of the crime

34:22was not proven.

34:24According to the ruling of the court,

34:26this is not considered a double jeopardy

34:28because Dalima's testimony

34:30was not valid from the start.

34:32In a statement, Dalima called

34:34the decision as suspicious.

34:36All the questions of the CA

34:38can be seen in the records of the case.

34:40However, they will appeal to the CA

34:42and the Supreme Court

34:44if necessary.

34:46And because the decision of the CA

34:48is still appealable,

34:50it does not mean that

34:52her acquittal in the RTC is invalid.

34:54Dalima clarified that

34:56the decision in their opinion

34:58is not necessary because

35:00the decision of the RTC is clear.

35:02For GMA Integrated News,

35:04I'm Darlene Kaye, your witness.

35:06A new low-pressure area

35:08is possible to be built and affect the country.

35:10In other words, it is possible to be built

35:12as part of the Intertropical Conversion Zone

35:14or ITCZ in the coming days.

35:16It also has a chance

35:18to approach or cross the land.

35:20Aside from the ITCZ,

35:22the heat of the easterlies

35:24is also possible.

35:26According to the Metro Weather,

35:28tomorrow morning,

35:30some parts of Mimaropa,

35:32Sulu Archipelago, Zamboanga Peninsula,

35:34Caraga and Davao Region

35:36and some parts of Visayas

35:38will be affected.

35:40In the afternoon,

35:42northern and central Luzon

35:44and southern Luzon

35:46and Visayas and Mindanao

35:48will be affected.

35:50The rainfall in some provinces

35:52will have a chance to experience

35:54localized thunderstorms tomorrow

35:56in Metro Manila.

35:58More than 20 places will be affected

36:00by the extreme heat

36:02which is below the danger level

36:04due to its proximity to Calusugan.

36:06Those people entered

36:08the Gaza European Hospital

36:10and later on,

36:12they ran

36:14and followed the air strike.

36:16According to the Gaza Health Ministry,

36:1816 people were injured

36:20and more than 70 were injured

36:22in the strike of the Shamna missile.

36:24According to the Israeli military,

36:26they hit the Hamas command center

36:28under the hospital.

36:30According to Israeli press,

36:32the military leader

36:34Mohamed Sinwar

36:36and other Hamas officials

36:38were also injured.

36:40This is the Hamas that they use

36:42in fighting the hospitals

36:44and the civilians.

36:46We will finish

36:48with a live stream

36:50of a female social media influencer

36:54According to the authorities,

36:56a 23-year-old victim

37:00in her salon.

37:02She said in the live stream

37:04that a person will arrive

37:06until an individual heard her speak

37:10In a few seconds,

37:12the victim was already shot

37:14and her cell phone was picked up

37:16Before that, the victim said

37:18that someone was looking for her

37:20with two expensive gifts.

37:22Femicide

37:24or killing of women

37:26due to adultery

37:28is the motive in the crime.

38:12It's very fun.

38:14It's challenging

38:16because it's an unfamiliar territory.

38:18It's not as comfortable.

38:20Everything is very efficient.

38:22I'm with Kailin,
