00:00A married couple and their eight-year-old son were killed after being trapped in a burnt house in Bulacan.
00:06Patients of the Philippine General Hospital in Manila were rescued by burglars in a part of the main building.
00:13Witness, Emil Sumangi.
00:15At 6 in the morning, burglars burned the main building of the Philippine General Hospital in Mezanin.
00:25Patients in the atrium or quadrangle of the hospital were easily rescued by other stretchers or wheelchairs.
00:31The smoke was so strong that there was no choice but to evacuate our patients to the wards 1, 2, 3 and 4 because those are the closest to the area.
00:41The smoke was so strong in the back. That's why the tents were removed by the guards.
00:48Edeline was in the hospital at 3 a.m. for the check-up of Sarah, the wife of a neurologist.
00:55When we entered, they told us that we cannot continue because there was a fire in the ward. That's why we all went out.
01:05Based on the initial investigation of the Manila Fire District, the so-called on-call room in Mezanin in the main building was burned.
01:12We are involved in Mezanin, which is a doctor's quarters where our doctors rest.
01:25We are involved in the overheating of the air-conditioning.
01:33But it is not yet clear what was burned.
01:36There was no fire in the walls, ceilings, flooring, but the fire happened in the medical supplies.
01:48The area that was burned is a renovated area, the office complex. The room is in good condition.
01:57It's not in the wiring, that's why we need to investigate.
02:02Past 7 a.m., the Department of Health was completely burned.
02:09The patients who need to be transferred to the hospital were burned.
02:12The PGH asked for the assistance of the affected patients because of the incident.
02:17Some of their programs have been suspended in the rehabilitation of the hospital to fix the old facilities.
02:24This is the third time this year that the PGH was burned.
02:28It's burning.
02:30It was also early in the morning when a fire broke out in a house in Bulacan, Bulacan, Masmasaklao.
02:36The couple and their 8-year-old daughter were burned.
02:39We heard them screaming and crying for help.
02:46When the firemen arrived, we told them that we are asking for help.
02:51They were found inside a room where they were trapped.
02:56The house was burned for P1,000,000.
03:00E-bikes and scooters were also sold.
03:03For the GMAT Grenadines, I am Emil Sabangin, your witness.
03:08Be prepared for the two typhoons inside and outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility.
03:14And continue to light the torch.
03:16Based on the 8 p.m. bulletin of hope due to the Hiner typhoon,
03:20Signal No. 1 in Cagayan, along with Babuyan Islands,
03:24Isabela, Quirino, Cueva Vizcaya, Apayaw, Calinga, Abra, Ifugao, Mountain Province,
03:30Benguet, Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, La Union, Pangasinan, Zambales, Tarlac, Cueva Izija, Aurora,
03:38and the northern portion of Quezon, along with Pulillo Islands.
03:41The Hiner typhoon is moving west-northwest at a speed of 15 km per hour.
03:47And if it doesn't change, it's possible that tonight or later in the afternoon,
03:50it will landfall or hit Isabela or Aurora.
03:54The typhoon outside the PAR, which has an international name of Pulasan,
03:58was last seen earlier this afternoon at a distance of 2,190 km east of Central Luzon.
04:04It's possible that the PAR will enter tomorrow night and will be called the Helen typhoon.
04:10The chance of it hitting the ground is low,
04:12but it will also make the storm stronger, like the effect of the Hiner typhoon.
04:16Based on the data of Metro Weather,
04:18the chance of rain is high in the northern and central Luzon,
04:21Mimaropa, Calabarzon, almost the whole of Visayas,
04:24some parts of Zamboanga Peninsula, northern Mindanao, and Caraga.
04:28There will be heavy rain, especially in the afternoon and evening,
04:30so be alert in the event of floods or landslides.
04:34In Metro Manila, it's possible that there will be rains tomorrow,
04:37as experienced tonight, in some parts of the city.
04:42After returning to Palawan,
04:44the people of BRP Teresa Magbanwa told us
04:48about their hardships while in Escoda or Sabina Shoal.
04:52It even reached the point where they were drinking water from the air-con
04:56due to a lack of drinking water.
04:58This is Joseph Moro.
05:04The repeated evacuation of the China Coast Guard
05:07from BRP Teresa Magbanwa on August 31,
05:09left this big hole in the engine room.
05:13The people of PCG showed me this
05:16when they were returning to Palawan after a 5-month mission in Escoda Shoal
05:20to monitor any tanker reclamation in China.
05:23This is the wreckage of BRP Teresa Magbanwa
05:27when the China Coast Guard bombed our ship on August 31.
05:31It's in this engine room.
05:33It's very dangerous for us
05:35if this will hit or damage the ship.
05:39If the cooling system is lost,
05:41our engine won't be able to run.
05:43What happened?
05:45There was no water.
05:47They had a reason to salvage us.
05:50Because there was no water,
05:52we had to pull it.
05:55More than 60 passengers of the ship
06:00In 2019, their food supply started to be critical.
06:03There should have been a resupply mission on August 26,
06:06but the Philippine Coast Guard ships
06:08couldn't reach the ships of China.
06:10They only received 1.5 kilograms of rice.
06:15They made this mess in almost 3 weeks.
06:19Rice porridge.
06:20Pepper, salt.
06:22That's all we were left with.
06:24We had friends who got dizzy
06:26because they were hungry.
06:28What do you do at night?
06:30Nothing. I just sleep and rest.
06:33And because there was no drinking water,
06:35they only relied on rainwater
06:37and the water from the aircon.
06:39Our chief engineer discovered
06:41that we can drink the water
06:43from our air conditioning unit.
06:45The condensed water.
06:47We prefer the air conditioning unit.
06:49And the rainwater.
06:51Because it has a taste.
06:53Sometimes it tastes like a swimming pool.
06:55Then it's salty.
06:58On August 28,
07:00the supplies were able to drop,
07:02but it was still not enough.
07:04Some were affected by gastroenteritis,
07:06dehydration, and gout.
07:08One of them had a broken wrist.
07:10There was vomiting.
07:12They were not allowed to move.
07:14On the other hand,
07:16the troops were ready
07:18to return to the squadron if necessary.
07:20The Philippine Coast Guard
07:22and the National Maritime Council
07:24also agreed
07:26that we will not retreat.
07:28We will not give up.
07:30We will leave because of the condition
07:32of our people.
07:34I do not accept that
07:36God forbid,
07:38someone dies in our town.
07:40According to the PCG,
07:42in addition to the bad condition
07:44of the crew and the loss of supplies,
07:46the ship needs to be reassembled.
07:48The bad weather is getting worse.
07:50In the PCG monitoring,
07:52not only did Teresa Magpano leave,
07:54but also the Chinese Navy.
07:5611 maritime militia vessels
07:58are staying in Skoda Shul.
08:00No, it's not a defeat.
08:02As I said, related to my response a while ago,
08:04it's not also the Coast Guard
08:06abandoning our post in Skoda Shul.
08:08We are just repositioning
08:10our own vessels.
08:12There was no agreement between China and the Philippines
08:14with BRP Teresa Magpano
08:16on the other side of the gate of China
08:18in the past bilateral consultation mechanism
08:20that the Philippine ship
08:22was supposed to leave.
08:24Our countrymen thought
08:26that we gave up.
08:28In fact, we did not.
08:30We insisted during the meeting
08:32in Beijing.
08:34Our DFA stated
08:36that our presence
08:38will be maintained in the show.
08:40For GMA Integrated News,
08:42Joseph Morong is your witness.
08:46An extradition request from the Philippines
08:48against the former Negros Oriental
08:50Rep. Arnulfo Tevez Jr.
08:52was rejected by the court
08:54in Timor-Leste.
08:56According to Timorese News website,
08:58Hatutan.com,
09:00the retrial for Tevez's case
09:02was ordered by the Court of Appeals.
09:04At Hatutan.com's meeting
09:06with Tevez's private lawyer in Timor-Leste,
09:08some heard that
09:10only one judge presided
09:12so the process of filing evidence
09:14was invalidated.
09:16That's why the Court of Appeals
09:18in Timor-Leste
09:20filed Tevez's case.
09:22According to Justice Secretary
09:24Jesus Crispin Lemulya,
09:26they will follow the law.
09:28The Philippines asked
09:30Tevez to return to the country
09:32to face the cases
09:34related to the assassination
09:36of the former Negros Oriental Governor
09:38Ruel de Gamo and others.
09:40PNP insisted that
09:42the so-called Angels of Death
09:44of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ
09:46were the ones who killed Tevez.
09:48According to PNP,
09:50they mentioned their names.
09:52PNP also prepared to file
09:54a complaint of obstruction of justice
09:56for the possible involvement
09:58of Kebuloy when he was searched
10:00by the police in the compound
10:02of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.
10:04The KOJC has yet to issue a statement.
10:06For GMA Integrated News,
10:08I'm Nima Rafra,
10:10your witness.
10:12House Speaker Martin Romualdez
10:14said that he will not
10:16let the camera pass
10:18his hypocrisy.
10:20He said that at the start
10:22of the deliberation
10:24of the Penalty for the
10:26more than Php 6 trillion
10:28National Budget for 2025.
10:30It is not possible
10:32to easily teach
10:34those who have their own sins.
10:36In front of the Congress,
10:38everyone will go through
10:40the right process
10:42to escape punishment.
10:44We cannot ignore
10:46the reality that there are
10:48those who seek to undermine
10:50our work.
10:52Critics who speak of accountability
10:54while conveniently
10:56ignoring their own
10:58misuse of public funds.
11:02To these individuals I say,
11:04let us be clear,
11:06this chamber will not
11:08tolerate hypocrisy,
11:10nor will it stand idle
11:12in the face of such blatant
11:14disregard of public trust.
11:18Romualdez did not mention his personality,
11:20but at some point,
11:22Vice President Sara Duterte's
11:24Congressmen responded
11:26to the deliberation for the budget
11:28of the Office of the Vice President
11:30on the use of confidential funds
11:32of the OVP in 2022.
11:34Duterte did not respond
11:36to the following statements.
11:38This is the video where Romualdez
11:40and Congressman Zaldico
11:42said that the budget of the Philippines
11:44is under their control.
11:46Duterte called it a
11:48chicken coop
11:50because he is not the only one
11:52who approves the budget.
11:54We are still trying to get
11:56Vice President Duterte's vote.
12:08Let us all be witnesses.
