00:00We will all be together.
00:08Saksi!
00:15Before the Saksi, the two kids were found dead in the fire that exploded in Santa Mesa, Manila.
00:23Saksi!
00:24Ian Cruz!
00:25At 4 p.m. earlier this afternoon, there was a huge fire in NDC Compound 1 on Road 12, Barangay 628, Santa Mesa, Manila.
00:36There was also a strong explosion.
00:44Ms. Belen was the first to save the life of her grandson in Tuhod, who was only a year old.
00:49I carried my grandson and I went out.
00:52What did you hear at the beginning?
00:54Just the noise of the house.
00:58I went out with my grandson.
01:01It was very hot here in Santa Mesa earlier and most of the houses were made of light materials.
01:07The wind was very strong earlier that's why the fire spread quickly.
01:11The center of the fire was in the middle of the houses, including the building of the College of Communication
01:17and College of Engineering of the Polytechnic University of the Philippines.
01:20Some cars were also burned because the fire spread quickly.
01:25Firefighters also set fire to the walls so that the water can flow.
01:29The Bureau of Fire Protection is still investigating the cause of the fire that reached the fourth alarm,
01:34even though the two kids were said to be trapped.
01:37It's just one of the things that our arson investigators are looking at.
01:41Which one, sir?
01:43Which one, sir?
01:44The one that Eric was talking about earlier.
01:47At the moment, our colleagues are overhauling the firemen
01:52so that they can see the place where the kids were left behind.
01:59How many kids are those?
02:00So far, sir, they said two, but our colleagues are still subject to confirmation.
02:07According to the Bureau of Fire Protection Manila,
02:09nearly 100 families were affected by the fire.
02:12Two people were injured.
02:16At 7 p.m. tonight, the fire was declared under control.
02:20For GEMA Integrated News, Ian Cruz is your reporter.
02:25One more news for the reporter.
02:26Three people were injured after a truck hit a tricycle in New Washington, Atlanta.
02:32According to the police, the driver of the truck was hit by a car.
02:37This is Kim Salinas of GMA Regional TV.
02:44A tricycle was destroyed after an accident
02:47when a tanker truck hit a car in New Washington, Atlanta
02:51at 7 a.m. this morning.
02:53According to the New Washington Police,
02:55the tricycle and truck were in the opposite lane,
02:57but the driver of the truck was hit by a car,
03:00so he stole the lane of the hit tricycle.
03:03He slipped, ma'am.
03:04He went to the left, ma'am,
03:06so he stole the lane of the hit tricycle.
03:09The driver of the tricycle and two others were killed.
03:12Four other tricycle drivers were injured
03:14and are still being treated in the hospital.
03:16The police have arrested the driver of the truck
03:19who was facing reckless imprudence
03:21resulting in multiple homicide,
03:23damage to property and physical injuries.
03:26In the province of Antique,
03:27a tourist van and bus were involved in the accident.
03:30In that video, you can see that the tourist van was almost destroyed.
03:35The bus was in the vicinity of the balcony of a house after it collapsed.
03:39According to the Pandan Police,
03:41the van from Nabas, Atlan will go to the town of Pandan.
03:44The bus from Pandan will go to Calibo, Atlan.
03:48But when it arrived in the province of Fragante, Pandan, Antique,
03:51at 6 a.m. this morning,
03:53the van switched to the bus lane.
03:55The van was a bit stuck, ma'am.
03:58It was in a curve.
04:01It went to the outer lane.
04:02It was stopping at Patunga.
04:04It stopped at the lane of our vehicle, Sirius, ma'am.
04:09It couldn't make it back, ma'am.
04:13It couldn't make it back to its place.
04:15Because of the impact,
04:16the driver of the van suffered severe head injuries
04:18which was the cause of his death.
04:21The driver of the bus was also injured.
04:23His passengers were also injured.
04:25The driver of the bus is now in the custody of the police
04:28for further investigation.
04:31For GMA Integrated News,
04:33Kim Salinas of GMA Regional TV,
04:36your witness.
04:39Three men were shot in San Jose del Monte, Bulacan.
04:43Two were injured.
04:45Witness, Mark Salazar.
04:50Last night, this Saturday,
04:52three men were caught on CCTV
04:55as if they were involved in a robbery
04:57in Esquinita, Pabahay 2000,
04:59Barangay Muzon, San Jose del Monte, Bulacan.
05:02They suddenly came out and fired a gun.
05:06The gunshots were heard
05:08but two of them were injured.
05:10Based on the witnesses of the victims,
05:16there was one man who tried to light a cigarette.
05:21His name is Alias Bilog.
05:24He tried to light a cigarette
05:26when three men arrived
05:29armed with guns.
05:31They were not allowed to shoot.
05:34These two victims were shot
05:39in different parts of their bodies.
05:41This is Alias Bilog,
05:43who was targeted by the suspects but was saved.
05:46The target of the suspects
05:48is Alias Bilog,
05:50who was the only one who lighted a cigarette.
05:53What is their motive against Bilog?
05:57I think there is a group of suspects.
06:01It would be better if Bilog told us
06:04because if he wants to file a case
06:08against the three suspects,
06:10he could tell us
06:13so that we can understand
06:15the motive behind the shooting.
06:18The investigation of Bilog is also a mystery
06:21because just like the suspects,
06:23he is also hiding.
06:24What did your son say?
06:26Did he know Bilog?
06:28I think so because they always play basketball.
06:31They always play basketball
06:33after their work.
06:35They just talked about drugs.
06:38They said that Bilog and the gun were playing.
06:43The three gunmen were targeted
06:45and filed a complaint
06:47and they are still being targeted.
06:49As of now,
06:51the suspects still do not know
06:54where they are being hidden.
06:57Because the troops have already left.
06:59They have not reached the area.
07:02The two gunmen have already left the hospital.
07:06He is having a hard time.
07:08How is he?
07:10He is having a hard time.
07:12It's hard for him to walk and it hurts here.
07:14He will go back to the hospital now.
07:16He has already finished his surgery.
07:18They said that he was shot with a .38 caliber bullet.
07:23Yes, that's what they said.
07:25The investigation of the crime continues.
07:27For GMA Integrated News,
07:29I am Mark Salazar,
07:31your witness.
07:34President Bombo Marcos said that
07:36he will file a case against the Dutertes
07:39and he also asked the Senate to approve
07:41the impeachment trial
07:43of Vice President Sara Duterte.
07:45Witness, Ivan Mayrina.
07:51Really, I truly want the trial
07:53because I want a bloodbath.
07:56This was the statement of Vice President Sara Duterte
07:59last Saturday
08:00after she closed the impeachment trial.
08:02Partylist Representative-Elect Laila de Lima,
08:05who will be a member of the House Prosecution Panel,
08:08said that
08:09Duterte's defense team will be contempt
08:12if they try to stir up trouble
08:14and create drama in the trial.
08:16Our Vice President should have a new mindset.
08:23He should change his mindset
08:26because it is so unbecoming of a high official.
08:30Malacanang also confirmed this.
08:32Our Vice President's statement is a bit violent
08:36but we hope that it is just a figure of speech
08:40and it should not be taken literally.
08:42We tried to get a comment from the Vice President
08:44but he still did not respond.
08:46In a new interview with President Bombo Marcos
08:48in his first podcast,
08:50he was asked if he can say that
08:52he does not want impeachment.
08:54He replied,
08:55The impeachment is in the Senate.
08:58We will let them go.
09:00There is a process.
09:01We will let them go.
09:03As for me,
09:05what I am thinking is
09:07the elections are over.
09:09Let's go back to work.
09:11Let's do everything.
09:13With the new lessons learned.
09:15The President said that
09:16he does not want to agree with the Dutertes.
09:18Yes.
09:19I do not want to stir up trouble.
09:21I want to agree with everyone.
09:23It is better.
09:25I have many allies.
09:27I do not need an ally.
09:28I need a friend.
09:29As much as possible.
09:31My goal is stability.
09:35Peaceful.
09:37So that we can do our job.
09:39That is why I am always open.
09:43I am always open to any approach.
09:46Let's help each other.
09:48Even if we do not agree with the police.
09:51Let's do our job.
09:53But let's not stir up trouble.
09:55Vice President Sara Duterte has nothing to do with this.
09:57But the Vice President said that
09:59she has been informed about this.
10:02The President also answered
10:03the situation of drugs and peace and order
10:05which is usually discussed
10:07by the Dutertes administration.
10:09According to the President,
10:10it is not a late pusher,
10:11but rather a big dealer
10:13that they are chasing.
10:14He is also not in favor of the death
10:16when it comes to the campaign against drugs.
10:18And no matter what the crime is,
10:21he ordered the police
10:23to look at the police visibility
10:25so that the people can have a clear conscience.
10:28Maybe it should be more thorough.
10:32Because there is nothing.
10:34It needs to be more efficient.
10:39Faster.
10:40I want to be respected,
10:41but maybe fear is better.
10:43The President admitted
10:44that his candidates did not get the result
10:46they wanted in the alliance
10:48during the election.
10:51The Filipinos are tired of politics.
10:55They are tired of politics.
10:57People are disappointed
10:59in the service of the government.
11:01They do not feel it.
11:03And the movement is too slow
11:06in forming projects
11:09that they have not felt yet.
11:11The Vice President also said
11:13that they have been paying too much attention
11:15to the big projects for a long time,
11:17but people do not feel it right away.
11:19Like his promise of 20 pesos per kilo of rice
11:22that lasted for 3 years
11:24before it was fulfilled.
11:26The Vice President assured
11:28that the administration is listening
11:30to the needs of the Filipinos
11:32and they are looking for a solution.
11:35For GMA Integrated News,
11:37I am Ivan Meirina, your witness.
11:41A member of the Barangay Peacekeeping Action Team was killed
11:44after firing at Sheriff Aguak Maguindanao del Sur
11:48A man in Cebu was injured
11:50when he was hit on the head.
11:53Witness, Allan Domingo of GMA Regional TV.
12:00The CCTV footage of the billiards
12:02at the Cebu Consolation
12:04showed a man running in.
12:06He was followed by two other men
12:09and he was suddenly hit by these men.
12:14The suspect immediately left.
12:16They were playing billiards.
12:18There was a heated argument
12:21about the bet money
12:23between the two of them
12:25which resulted in a physical confrontation.
12:30The victim was severely injured in the head.
12:34He was taken to the operation room.
12:37The police continued to look for the suspect.
12:39The suspect was already injured.
12:42According to this investigation,
12:45he was sent to Negros Oriental
12:48to escape from the arrest.
12:50The victim was taken to the hospital
12:53for immediate medical attention.
12:56The operation is still ongoing.
12:59GMA Regional TV reported that
13:02the billiards took place
13:04but there were no witnesses in front of the camera.
13:07But according to the witnesses,
13:09the victim and the suspects
13:13were playing billiards.
13:15The police continued to investigate the incident.
13:18At Sheriff Aguak Maguindanao del Sur,
13:21a member of the Barangay Peacekeeping Action Team
13:24was killed by a bullet.
13:27The other two were injured and taken to the hospital.
13:30It was discovered that the victims
13:33were being shot while riding
13:36the rescue vehicle of Sheriff Aguak El Gio of BIPA,
13:40a well-known armed group of men
13:43riding a minivan in the Barangay Mother Poblacion 2.
13:47The 66 empty-shell unarmed gun
13:50used by the suspect was recovered from the crime scene.
13:54The police continued the operation
13:56against the suspect.
13:58The motive for the shooting is still unknown.
14:01For GMA Integrated News,
14:04Alan Domingo of GMA Regional TV,
14:06your witness.
14:10Arrested in Boracay,
14:12the last person with the witness
14:14was businessman Anson Tan or Anson Que
14:16before he was killed.
14:18He was also arrested for helping the suspect escape.
14:22Witness, Marisol Abdurrahman.
14:27In a resort in Boracay,
14:29Gong Wenli alias Kelly Tan was arrested last Saturday.
14:33According to the PNP,
14:35Kelly played a big role in the kidnapping and killing
14:38of the Chinese businessman Anson Tan
14:41and his driver, Armani Pabilio.
14:57Kelly was also the one who was used by the group
15:00to take Que to the place where he was hanged.
15:03In David Tan Liao's statement,
15:05he said that he used Kelly
15:09to attract David Tan Liao.
15:14Kelly was the one who was seen with the victim
15:17when he was last seen alive on March 29.
15:20According to the PNP,
15:22Kelly was transferred to various resorts in Boracay
15:25after a manhunt operation was launched against him.
15:28He arrived there using a private jet.
15:32He was also arrested by a Chinese national,
15:35Wu Jiaping alias Wu Jiabing,
15:37who is also a hairdresser.
15:39Wu Jiaping is said to be responsible for Kelly's escape.
15:53Aside from cellphones,
15:55he also recovered a mask and a wig.
16:03For now,
16:05the kidnapping and killing of Que
16:07is still a key for ransom.
16:09David Tan Liao and Kelly
16:11are considered by the police
16:13as masterminds and co-masterminds of the crime.
16:16The intention really is to kill Anson Tan
16:19because normally,
16:22in ordinary kidnapping for ransom
16:27that is held by the AKG,
16:29at least according to their assessment,
16:31once the money is recovered,
16:33it will be released.
16:34Before Kelly and Wu Jiaping were arrested,
16:36there were three suspects
16:38who were held by the police
16:39related to the case.
16:41Another suspect is still being searched
16:44and the ransom money
16:46recovered by the suspects has not been recovered yet.
16:48An accountant by the name of John Lim
16:51is still involved in the planning.
16:53Our tracing is still ongoing
16:55with respect to the ransom money
16:57because our objective is
16:59to recover the huge amount of money
17:01that was paid to the family.
17:03A while ago,
17:04Kelly and his accomplices were arrested
17:06for violating immigration law.
17:08Kelly and four others
17:09are now under the custody of the PNP-AKG.
17:12We are still trying to get the statement
17:14of Que's family.
17:16For GMA Integrated News,
17:18Marisol Abdurrahman is your witness.
17:24Thousands of families in Mindanao
17:26are affected by floods
17:28caused by the Intertropical Convergence Zone
17:31or ITCZ.
17:33This is Efren Mamak of GMA Regional TV.
17:43The Mangile Bridge and Lawayon Bridge
17:45in Oceabad Santos, Davao Occidental
17:47were destroyed and unable to pass.
17:49A portion of the bridge was cut
17:51because of the strong flow of the river
17:54after the rain.
17:56The bridge was not cemented
17:58and because of the fast flow of water,
18:02the land was washed away.
18:04These images are connected
18:06to Jose Abad Santos
18:08and the town of Don Marcelino
18:10which is why the residents are stranded.
18:12Currently, the local government
18:14is working on an assessment
18:16to solve this issue.
18:20Because of the strong flow of water,
18:22the track to Senator Ninoy Aquino
18:25Sultan Kudarat was closed.
18:27This was because the driver
18:29was forced to cross the river
18:31so that he could go home
18:33after the heavy rain.
18:35It was difficult for the residents
18:37to cross the river using a backhoe.
18:41Fortunately, the track was pulled
18:43and the driver was saved.
18:48In Kumalarang Zamboanga del Sur,
18:50the residents were able to escape
18:52because of the strong flow of water.
18:56The river also crossed
18:58a covered court in Bayugan East.
19:15According to the MDRRMO,
19:17more than 1,000 families were affected
19:19by the flood.
19:21A male senior citizen was found dead
19:23after drowning in the river.
19:27In Sheriff Sauduna Mustafa Maguindanao,
19:29the residents were already
19:31drowning in the river.
19:34Aside from the houses,
19:36even the livelihood was affected.
19:40The Civil Defense Barm conducted
19:42an aerial survey
19:44in the areas of Maguindanao del Sur.
19:47More than 6,000 families were affected.
19:51More than 20 hectares of crops
19:53were also affected by the flood.
19:55The province is now under
19:57State of Calamity.
20:03In Luzon,
20:05many crops were affected
20:07by the flood in Mangaldan, Pangasinan.
20:09Pechay crops will be
20:11harvested next week.
20:15In Mangaldan Municipal Agriculture Office,
20:17the production of pechay
20:19is slow due to the rain.
20:33For GMA Integrated News,
20:35I am Efren Mama
20:37of GMA Regional TV,
20:39your Saksi.
20:43Aside from the Intertropical Convergence Zone
20:45or ITCZ and Easterlies,
20:47there is a new low-pressure area
20:49inside the PAR.
20:51It is expected to be
20:53inside the ITCZ and
20:55200 kilometers west-southwest
20:57of Aborlan, Palawan.
20:59The chance of a storm is low
21:01but it will also bring rain
21:03in some parts of the country.
21:05The hot and humid weather
21:07due to Easterlies continues.
21:09Tomorrow, 26 places
21:11will experience heat
21:13at the danger level.
21:15According to Metro Weather,
21:17the chance of rain in Southern Luzon
21:19and almost all of Visayas
21:21and Mindanao is high.
21:23Heavy to intense or dark rain
21:25can cause flooding
21:27or cause landslides.
21:29In Metro Manila,
21:31the heat index is at 41 degrees Celsius
21:33but localised thunderstorms
21:35are still possible, especially in the afternoon and evening.
21:37The Department of Health
21:39promised that no one should be alarmed
21:41in the middle of the rise
21:43of COVID-19 in some parts of Asia.
21:45Watch this, by Darlene Cai.
21:51The number of COVID-19 cases
21:53is increasing in countries and territories
21:55near the Philippines, such as China,
21:57Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand, and Singapore.
21:59In Singapore, for example,
22:01the number of COVID-19 cases
22:03increased from 3,100 on April 27
22:05to May 3, if compared
22:07to the third week of April
22:09based on the latest information
22:11from the Singapore Ministry of Health.
22:13The situation here in the Philippines
22:15is the opposite, where the number
22:17of COVID-19 cases is decreasing
22:19according to the DOH or Department of Health.
22:21The reported COVID-19 cases
22:23from January to
22:25May 3, 2025
22:27is at 1,774.
22:31This is lower than
22:3387% compared to
22:35last year.
22:37From 71 cases,
22:39the number of COVID-19 cases
22:41also decreased.
22:43From the last three
22:45to four weeks,
22:47there were 65 cases.
22:49According to the DOH,
22:51there should be no alarm.
22:53The DOH continues to monitor
22:55the COVID-19 trend in neighboring countries
22:57and continues to monitor
22:59the situation in Asia.
23:01There are still no problems in bed capacity
23:03or the number of people admitted
23:05according to the PHAPI or
23:07PHAPI.
23:25That's why it's not surprising
23:27if the number of COVID-19 cases is low
23:29because not all are tested for COVID-19.
23:31That's why it's better
23:33if there is a routine COVID-19 testing in the Philippines.
23:35For the infectious disease expert
23:37Dr. Ron G. Insolante,
23:39it's not surprising
23:41if the number of COVID-19 cases is low
23:43compared to other countries
23:45and if it reaches the Philippines.
23:47These events are expected
23:49because COVID is still with us.
23:51It has not disappeared yet.
23:53These are expected events
23:55and we should not be panicked.
23:57We should not be alarmed.
23:59We are not protected
24:01against the spread of COVID
24:03from the vaccines we got before.
24:29That's why
24:31it's better
24:33to get a booster shot of COVID vaccine
24:35for vulnerable populations
24:37or senior citizens and immunocompromised.
24:39Other vaccines like flu and pneumococcal vaccines
24:41can also help.
24:43It's not necessary
24:45but we should not be alarmed
24:47according to the DOH and infectious disease experts.
24:49We should learn
24:51from the lessons of the pandemic
24:53such as basic hygiene
24:55or washing hands regularly,
24:57isolating when you feel any symptoms
24:59and wearing a face mask
25:01in public places.
25:03For GMA Integrated News,
25:05I am Darlene Kaye, your witness.
25:07The Court of Appeals
25:09defended the decision
25:11to cancel the visa
25:13for the six accused
25:15for the disappearance
25:17of six soap operatives
25:19in Manila Arena in 2022.
25:21This is in line with the decision
25:23of the CA in December
25:25that grave abuse of discretion
25:27should not be allowed
25:29because of the visa
25:31for the six accused
25:33for kidnapping and serious illegal detention.
25:35The accused
25:37filed a motion for reconsideration
25:39and they said
25:41that it's not clear
25:43if the visa is being reimbursed
25:45for their motion for reconsideration.
25:47The CA 3rd Division said
25:49that although
25:51it was not directly stated
25:53in the first decision
25:55that the accused were innocent,
25:57it's clear that
25:59the visa was reimbursed.
26:01The CA also said that
26:03when it looked at the evidence
26:05in the case of the missing soap operatives,
26:07it was evident
26:09that the accused
26:11committed a crime.
26:13The accused also said
26:15that there was evidence
26:17that the CA
26:19is convincing them
26:21to change or reverse
26:23the decision.
26:25Senator Wynne Gatchalian
26:27wanted to make two flavors
26:29of vape available in the market.
26:31This is to prevent the youth
26:33from using vape
26:35due to its different flavors.
26:37Witness,
26:39Ma'am Gonzalez.
26:43Chicken, waffle, and durian.
26:45Those are the only
26:4715,000 flavors of vape
26:49that Senator Wynne Gatchalian
26:51said are harmful to health,
26:53especially for the youth
26:55who are most affected.
26:57In the Philippines,
26:59from what we know,
27:01there are already more than 7,000 flavors
27:03in the country.
27:05Therefore, all of these flavors
27:07are really
27:09enticing our young
27:11to start into
27:13the vaping addiction.
27:15We are calling it an addiction
27:17because almost
27:19all of these vapes
27:21contain nicotine.
27:23It will be very seldom
27:25that you will see no nicotine.
27:27Gatchalian said that there is an opinion
27:29in the Department of Justice
27:31that there should only be two flavors of vape,
27:33menthol and original tobacco.
27:35There is no orange,
27:37no strawberry, no bubble gum.
27:39But we can see
27:41that there are still more.
27:43We looked into the
27:45deliberations of the
27:47General Committee on this
27:49and it's contrary
27:51to the DOJ opinion.
27:53Also,
27:55there's a
27:57Supreme Court decision stating that
27:59the DOJ opinion is
28:01still an opinion
28:03and not controlling.
28:05If the priority of the government is health,
28:07there should be two flavors of vape.
28:09What we are trying to
28:11arrest right now is the increase of use
28:13of vape products among the young.
28:15We urge the DTI
28:17to comply with this
28:19DOJ opinion.
28:21We will revert, Mr. Chair, to the committee
28:23on the DTI position
28:25on the DOJ opinion.
28:27There should be no more reports.
28:29They should comply.
28:31Based on the study of the Food and Nutrition
28:33Research Institute or FNRI,
28:35from 3.2% in 2018,
28:37almost 40% of
28:39adolescents
28:41started using vape in 2023.
28:43The bad news is
28:45illegal or smuggled vape
28:47is available in the market.
28:49We don't know what is the contents.
28:51We don't know
28:53what's inside.
28:55So, in other words, at 40%,
28:57we don't know what they are smoking.
28:59Because of the unregulated use
29:01of these vape products
29:03and then, of course, with the flavors,
29:05the different flavors
29:07that are being available
29:09in the market
29:11and the very extensive marketing
29:13that they're doing.
29:15So, because of this,
29:17we're seeing a shift
29:19of the prevalence of smoking
29:21using vapes.
29:23It's still hard
29:25to catch illegal vapes
29:27because they're being sold
29:29from house to house.
29:31Recently, the BARC
29:33has 81,000 illicit
29:35vape products, unregistered
29:37and paid on taxes
29:39by trade in a house
29:41being used as a warehouse.
29:43That's how bad it is.
29:45That's why the government agency
29:47is having a hard time,
29:49especially the BAR
29:51that doesn't traditionally enforce.
29:53That's why one of the solutions
29:55of some stakeholders
29:57so that the use of vape products
29:59doesn't increase,
30:01is to increase the cost of tobacco and vape.
30:03But the Senate Committee on Ways and Means
30:05Our findings during the three hearings
30:07is that the solution
30:09to curb illicit trade
30:11will not come from reduction of taxes.
30:13That is our finding.
30:15It will come from
30:17strengthening our enforcement.
30:19For GMA Integrated News,
30:21Ma'am Gonzales is your witness.
30:25Cars weighing more than 3 tons
30:27are not allowed to pass
30:29the San Juanico Bridge
30:31that connects Summer and Leyte.
30:33Based on the initial assessment of DPWH,
30:35some parts of the bridge
30:37are seriously damaged
30:39and need to be repaired
30:41or retrofitted.
30:43It is not yet known
30:45how long it will take
30:47to repair the entire bridge.
30:49But DPWH is already
30:51working with the Philippine Ports Authority
30:53and the LGU
30:55to drive a large vehicle
30:57that cannot pass the bridge.
30:59There are also shuttles
31:01that can be transported
31:04There will be some impact
31:06actually because
31:08because of the
31:10convenience and the delays
31:12that will be brought about
31:14by the limits
31:16or limited loads
31:18that will pass through it.
31:20It is better to be careful
31:22than to tolerate actually.
31:30Before the witness,
31:32a truck collided
31:34on the Andaya Highway
31:36in Del Gallego, Camarinas Sur.
31:38Based on the police report,
31:40the truck was heading to Manila
31:42when it collided.
31:44The cause of the collision
31:46was investigated.
31:48The driver and the owner
31:50of the truck immediately responded.
31:52The driver and the owner
31:54of the truck immediately responded.
31:56The driver and the owner
31:58of the truck immediately responded.
32:00Later, another CCTV
32:02captured the violent escape
32:04of 10 inmates
32:06from New Orleans Parish
32:08Justice Center in Louisiana,
32:10in America.
32:12According to the sheriff,
32:14some of the escapees
32:16were charged with murder
32:18in order to escape.
32:20Seven more were stabbed
32:22while in custody
32:24by the authorities.
32:27A cat with illegal drugs
32:29was injured
32:31by a man in Costa Rica.
32:33According to the penitentiary,
32:35when the cat was caught,
32:37they immediately cut the cloth
32:39that was wrapped around its body.
32:41There, they discovered
32:43that it contained more than
32:45200 grams of marijuana
32:47and other drugs for farnalia.
32:49The cat was turned over
32:51to the National Animal Health Service
32:53to be examined.
32:56A man and his accomplice
32:58were injured in a fight
33:00in Sambon, Cebu.
33:02The man accused his brother
33:04in a post on social media.
33:06As the fight intensified,
33:08the suspect,
33:10the brother,
33:12and the cat were attacked.
33:14The victim was injured in the chest
33:16while his live-in partner
33:18was hit in the head.
33:20The suspect also admitted
33:22that he was hit by an ad.
33:24There are 141 schools
33:26across the country
33:28that are part of the pilot run
33:30of the revised Senior High School curriculum
33:32starting next school year.
33:34According to the House Committee
33:36on Basic Education and Culture,
33:38Deputy Undersecretary Wilfredo Cabral
33:40said that there are
33:42580 public schools
33:44while
33:46261 private schools.
33:48In the revised curriculum,
33:50the number of core subjects
33:52was reduced
33:54and from 15 subjects,
33:56the number will be
33:58reduced to 5 only.
34:06Josh Ford can't hide
34:08his smile
34:10when his ex-housemate
34:12Kira Ballinger
34:14mentioned
34:16a fast talk with Boy Abunda.
34:18While they were inside
34:20his house,
34:22a lot of kisses were made
34:24in their tandem called Kish.
34:26In a TikTok post,
34:28Josh called Kira
34:30for a safe space.
34:32Earlier, Josh was asked
34:34about the real score between the two.
34:38Was there a special relationship
34:40or
34:42a special thing
34:44between the two of you?
34:46Kira is a lovely girl.
34:48I can speak all day about her.
34:50She's a sweet person
34:52not only outside but also inside.
34:54We get to know each other.
34:56Looking forward to whatever happens.
