00:00The local government of Cavite is studying the class action lawsuit
00:04following the permission of the OSPIL from MTKR Terranova
00:08that hit five youths.
00:11Watch Jun Veneracion.
00:17From the damaged MV Mirola 1 in Mariveles, Bataan,
00:21the Coast Guard members are collecting oil.
00:25What they got will be taken to the Waste Disposal Facility.
00:29For now, the ship is getting ready to sail
00:32with 5,500 liters of diesel
00:35that was loaded with operational fuel of the wrecked MTKR Jason Bradley.
00:41The Coast Guard also added oil spill boom to the wrecked ship.
00:45Improvised oil spill boom that was made in Niog
00:48was sent to the barangay people
00:50who placed it in the mouth of the river.
00:53The oil spill will be removed from the ship
00:57to prevent the oil spill to the side.
01:01But the oil tanker boom
01:03is causing problems to the residents.
01:06At night, it's hard for people to sleep here.
01:09The smell is so strong.
01:12When the water level rises, it gets worse for us
01:15because the water level rises and the diesel gets damaged.
01:18They noticed the large number of dead fish.
01:21But the effect on their livelihood is the worst.
01:24Because of the oil spill boom,
01:26all of our crops went down.
01:29We didn't expect that.
01:31We don't have anything to buy.
01:33But according to the PCG,
01:35the 1.4 million liters of industrial fuel
01:39loaded with MTKR Terra Nova
01:42that sank in the town of Limay
01:44is still the most serious problem.
01:46It's possible that it will take two more weeks
01:48before the siphoning operations start.
01:50The canvas is made of steel
01:52and is covered with valves.
01:54The metal capping is done on purpose
01:57and it takes a week.
01:59It also takes a long time to install.
02:01After that, the oil spill can only start
02:03in the evening.
02:05The Bataan Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction
02:08and Management Office
02:09is saying that the operation is slowing down.
02:12I would like it to be a little faster.
02:14Because you know, as time, as day goes by,
02:17the effects of it, not just on the environment,
02:20is also increasing.
02:22Plus the effects of it on our constituents
02:25or our residents here in Bataan.
02:27We're not rushing.
02:29That's better.
02:31Number one item, why?
02:33Because we have contained the oil slick
02:35that flows.
02:37This is one liter per hour.
02:40And at the same time,
02:42if we rush with this operation,
02:45the whole Metro Manila,
02:48perhaps part of the whole Region 4A
02:52and Region 3 will be affected.
02:55In Bulacan,
02:56the BIFAR carried out a sensor evaluation
02:58in the sea.
02:59The oil spill there was very heavy.
03:02They were caught by a fish
03:04and in a casino.
03:05And when the problem was not observed,
03:08it was cooked and fed by the BIFAR.
03:11But in Cavite,
03:13they noticed something
03:14about those who were caught from the sea.
03:16If you go to us now,
03:18all of the fish caught,
03:20the catfishes,
03:21the crabs,
03:23are all black.
03:25And the fish caught
03:27smells like gasoline.
03:3025,000 families of fishermen were affected
03:33according to Governor Emulia.
03:35Food assistance was given to the affected
03:38and cash assistance may also be received.
03:42One of the employees
03:44of the owner of the ship
03:46is not calling me.
03:47Now, our lawyers are studying.
03:51We filed a class action lawsuit.
03:54Even if they didn't intend it,
03:55they called it negligence.
03:58Their negligence is that
04:00the waves are high,
04:02the waves are high,
04:03they still released their ship.
04:08It should not happen.
04:12For now,
04:13in the last satellite image
04:14of the Philippine Space Agency,
04:16the oil spill area was smaller
04:18in one day
04:19compared to the satellite image of last week.
04:23For GMI Integrated News,
04:25Jun, your generation,
04:26Saksi.
04:28Discussed in the hearing of the camera
04:30is the monitoring of the impact of the waves
04:32on the illegal and drug buying of land.
04:35Also in the hearing
04:36is the name of a former presidential advisor.
04:39Saksi, Tina Panganiban-Perez.
04:46A matrix was shown to the camera
04:48of the illegal and drug buying of land
04:50in some provinces.
04:54The matrix was formed
04:56based on the information found by the camera
04:58from the 3.6 billion pesos
05:02worth of shabu in Mexico, Pampanga
05:05in 2023.
05:07Fernandez said,
05:08the owner of the warehouse
05:09has a partner-incorporator
05:11where drugs are found
05:13connected to various corporations.
05:16Like Pharmalee,
05:17which was involved in the overpricing
05:19of medical supplies
05:20in the government
05:21during the COVID pandemic.
05:23The answer to Pharmalee
05:24is Michael Young.
05:26There seems to be a link
05:29between the ownership of drugs
05:32and these companies.
05:35The House Committee on Dangerous Drugs
05:36issued an arrest order
05:38against Michael Young
05:40because of his involvement
05:42in the committee's invitations.
05:44Young's lawyer,
05:46Atty. Raymond Fortune,
05:48refused to comment on the matrix.
05:50The GMA Integrated News is also trying
05:52to get a reaction
05:54from those mentioned.
05:55Fernandez also said,
05:57Michael Young's brother
05:58is a transaction
06:00of suspended Bamban Mayor,
06:01Alice Goh.
06:02Based on what I saw,
06:04and my appreciation of the evidence,
06:06I think it's a money laundering scheme
06:10of drug syndicates
06:12that are going through Pogo.
06:15These issues are also connected
06:17to the investigation
06:18by the House Committee
06:19on Public Accounts
06:20that it is illegal
06:21to buy Chinese national lands
06:23in Pampanga
06:25to make Pogo sites.
06:27It was established also
06:29that those so many hectares of land
06:32are being bought
06:34by the different corporations
06:36whose incorporators
06:38are proven to be
06:40Chinese nationality.
06:42We all know
06:43that there's a constitutional prohibition
06:45for foreigners
06:46to own lands in our country.
06:47We saw that
06:49there was a sale
06:51to the foreigners.
06:54Allegedly,
06:55this is assisted
06:56by no less than the LGU.
06:58Some lawmakers clarified
06:59that not all of the names
07:01in the matrix
07:02are connected to illegal activities.
07:04Their investigation is ongoing
07:06to find out
07:07who is really involved.
07:10Along with the possible
07:11proposed laws
07:12that will result
07:13in these investigations,
07:15the restriction
07:16in obtaining
07:17Filipino birth certificates
07:19and Filipino passports
07:20and buying land
07:22in Pampanga.
07:23For GMA Integrated News,
07:24Tina Panganiban-Perez,
07:25your witness.
07:30Outgoing DTI Secretary
07:32Alfredo Pascual
07:33said that
07:34there is no specific trigger
07:35for his request
07:37to the Cabinet
07:38of President Marcos.
07:40I finally decided
07:41that it's time for me
07:45to go back
07:46to where I was
07:47to the private sector
07:49and be able to spend
07:51more time with my family.
07:53My family is growing.
07:55I have 10 grandchildren
07:57who are always looking for me.
07:59On the last day
08:00of Pascual's secretary term,
08:02his resignation
08:03was followed
08:04by official functions.
08:05The ceremonial signing
08:06of the agreements
08:07for the e-commerce track
08:09and weighing of the Bayan Project
08:11was held.
08:12His resignation
08:13is effective tomorrow.
08:15The travel budget
08:16of the Office of the President
08:18for 2025
08:19is smaller than that of 2024
08:22based on the National Expenditure Program
08:25of the DBM.
08:26It was reduced by P94 million
08:28compared to the 2024 budget.
08:31The total fund
08:32for the President's trip
08:34in 2025
08:35is more than P1 billion.
08:37With the addition of the DBM,
08:39the first tranche
08:41or the first drop
08:42of the government's budget
08:44will be effective
08:45from January this year.
08:46Four tranches
08:47will be added.
08:48They will be given
08:49every year
08:50until 2027.
08:51Each government employee
08:52will also receive
08:53P7,000 medical allowance.
08:56The executive order
08:57for this will be arranged.
08:59Second Gentleman Attorney
09:01Manases Carpio
09:02was answered
09:03by former Senator
09:04Antonio Trillanes IV
09:06with a complaint
09:07of drug smuggling
09:08and graft
09:09against him.
09:10According to Carpio,
09:11Trillanes is trying
09:12his life
09:13to fight
09:14the accusations
09:15against him
09:16to the Davao 1st District
09:17Representative
09:18Paulo Duterte
09:19and the Davao Group
09:21regarding their
09:22involvement
09:23in illegal drugs
09:24even though
09:25there is no reason
09:26to demand them
09:27based on the former
09:28investigation of the Senate.
09:30It is understandable
09:31that a person like Trillanes
09:33who has passed away
09:34will want to strengthen
09:35himself in politics
09:37but it is sad
09:39that he is doing this
09:40while the innocent
09:41are being harmed.
09:43The case
09:44filed by Trillanes
09:45in the DOJ
09:46is worth
09:47Php 6.4 Billion
09:48worth of shabu
09:49that was found
09:50hidden in 5
09:51steel cylinders
09:52in a raid
09:53in Valenzuela
09:54in 2017.
09:56For GMA
