00:06The storm also reached Baharin and other parts of Northern Luzon.
00:10This is Jasmyn Gabriel Galvan of GMA Regional TV.
00:18The storm hit the town of Uyugan in Batanes following the storm in Julian.
00:23That's why the ambulance truck in the town was hit by the storm.
00:27The storm here in Batanes was very, very strong.
00:32Because of the strong wind, the trees in the town were damaged.

00:57But according to Batanes PDRRMO, it quickly subsided.
01:01For now, electricity and communication in Batanes were cut off.
01:05The strong wind was also felt following the storm in the town of Calayan in Cagayan.
01:10That's why the authorities reminded the residents to stay inside their homes.
01:15Those rice fields are just newly planted but they are already submerged in the flood.
01:19Some rice fields in the town were damaged so they can't be used anymore.
01:23The rainfall in Putik, which has rocks in it, was also seen in the town of Santa Praxedes.
01:29That was after the mudflow of the area was experienced.
01:32In the town of Baggao, the water level in Abusag Bridge was high.
01:37The rainfall in Ilocos Norte was also experienced.
01:39That's why the town of Adams was affected.
01:42In Ilocos, there was a mudflow and irrigation in the town of Lingras.
01:47The flood reached the town of Bacara.
01:50That's why some motorists were stranded.
01:52A tricycle was stuck in the middle of the road.
01:54That's why it was forced to be pushed by a rider.
01:57The road in Bangui was also damaged because of the flood.
02:01The water level in Abra River in Banguet, Abra was also high.
02:05Despite the authority's warning to avoid fishing and crossing the river,
02:09some residents fished near the river using boats.
02:12Those who live near the river were forced to evacuate.
02:16Yesterday, the part of the mountain in Likwan, Baay Abra,
02:20where the road is covered by trees and mud, was flooded.
02:23That's why a clearing operation was immediately carried out by the authorities.
02:26The water level in Barangay Irisan in Baguio City was also high.
02:29Yesterday, there was a clearing operation in Bugias, Benguet.
02:33After that, a tree fell in the middle of the road.
02:36During the visit of President Bongbong Marcos
02:39to the inauguration of a battery plant in Tarlac,
02:41he updated on the actions of the government.
02:44Thousands of family food packs are now being prepared.
02:47Healthcare centers are on high alert.
02:49And our farmers and fisherfolk are taking steps to safeguard their livelihoods.
02:54There are, the typhoon Julian is going to pass north of the Philippines.
03:00So those in regions 1, 2, and 3, as well as NCR and CAR,
03:06know that we are not just talking about resilience.
03:09We are making it happen.
03:12For GMA Integrated News, I am Jasmine Gabriel Galvan of GMA Regional TV,
03:17your witness.
03:20Senator Aimee Marcos, who went to the campaign of the administration,
03:25was invited by her brother, President Bongbong Marcos.
03:29This is what the senator said after announcing that she will run as an independent in the election of 2025.
03:35Witness, Ma'am Gonzales.
03:40Senator Aimee Marcos herself said that
03:43when she withdrew from the admin slate,
03:45she announced that she will run as an independent candidate in the election of 2025.
03:50It's a tremendous sacrifice to stand alone.
03:54But I need to be free to cross the line,
03:58to talk to all parties,
04:00and to get things done.
04:02When asked if she considers her decision to be independent
04:06as a friend of Vice President Sara Duterte.
04:09If you have two close friends,
04:12and they are fighting,
04:14will you side with one another?
04:18Of course, what you want to happen is to greet them,
04:21talk to them,
04:23and you will be the path for them.
04:27And if they are not ready to side with one another,
04:31you will wait on the other side.
04:33You will not side with one another.
04:37I will not side with two rivers.
04:40She hasn't talked to Vice President and her brother, President Bongbong Marcos.
04:45The senator doesn't know how the campaign will go.
04:48She said it's her first time to be an independent candidate.
04:50But she will go to the administration campaign tomorrow
04:53if she is invited by the President.
04:55Earlier, the President said that it's okay for her brother to be independent.
04:59Even though she ran as an independent candidate before.
05:02The Alliance is still behind her.
05:04We are still continuing to support her.
05:06And if down the road she chooses to join us in our campaign sorties,
05:11she is of course very welcome.
05:13Senator Aymen is a member of the Nationalista Party,
05:16which is part of the Alliance for a New Philippines.
05:18She will be in talks with the party if she needs to run.
05:22For GMA Integrated News, I am your host, Ma'am Gonzales.
05:28Dr. Willie Ong announced his candidacy as a senator.
05:32He said it on a Facebook Live from Singapore
05:35where he is being treated for sarcoma, a rare type of cancer.
05:40According to Ong, he will run as an independent candidate.
05:43His wife will receive her COC, or Certificate of Candidacy, tomorrow.
05:50More than 1,000 people have been affected by the rising tensions
05:53between Israel and the Hezbollah group in Lebanon.
05:56Among them is the veteran leader of Hezbollah
05:59who was affected by an air strike by Israel.
06:02Let's watch.
06:07The part of the building in Kodaida in Yemen caught fire.
06:10Four people were killed and 20 injured, according to their health ministry.
06:14This is the second Israel bomb in Yemen in two months.
06:19This is followed by the disappearance of Houthi missiles near Tel Aviv
06:24which, according to Israel, were intercepted.
06:27There will be a year of high tensions between Israel and the Houthi group in Yemen
06:31in the midst of its support to the Palestinians in the Gaza war.
06:35In Gaza, Houthis were also among those who expressed their condolences
06:39for the Israeli air strike by Syed Hassan Nasrallah
06:43who became the leader of Hezbollah within three decades.
06:47A week has passed since nearly 500 people have been killed
06:51by Israeli air strikes in Lebanon.
06:53The highest death toll there has been within almost two decades.
06:56The air strikes continued until a while ago.
06:59Among the bombings, three leaders of a Palestinian group were killed.
07:04The leader of Hamas in Lebanon and his family.
07:08According to the Lebanese health ministry, more than 1,000 were injured.
07:12And 6,000 were injured in the bombings in the last two weeks.
07:18One million were evacuated or one in every five people living in Lebanon.
07:24The deputy leader of Hezbollah is determined to send troops to Israel in Lebanon.
07:32In this video of the Reuters, the Israeli tanks were seen at the border of the two countries.
07:39In Israel, the warning sirens again went off
07:42because of the loss of Hezbollah missiles in the northern part of Israel.
07:47In the next few days, it is expected that 15 countries will return to the OFWs
07:52that are refactoring from Lebanon.
07:54Again, this is a call for all Filipinos.
07:59Not only OFWs, but for all Filipinos in Lebanon
08:04to hit the call of government for voluntary repatriation.
08:08Some OFWs in Lebanon were emotional when they asked for help to return to the Philippines.
08:13According to one OFW, he has been waiting for a month
08:17but there is still no reason given to them.
08:20Their papers are under evaluation because they are undocumented.
08:25How can we update the release of the evaluation?
08:28There is no office, the immigration office is closed.
08:31When will they move if someone is already dying here?
08:36The Philippine embassy in Lebanon has not yet announced anything about this.
08:39For GMA Integrated News, Emil Sumangil, your witness.
08:46According to the DFA, if an undocumented worker is asked to repatriate,
08:50it is not just a matter of leaving the country.
08:53For a long time, the government has been calling for voluntary repatriation in Lebanon.
09:00The price of oil and LPG products will rise on the first day of October.
09:05According to Petron, the price of LPG will increase by 80 cents per kilo.
09:10That is equivalent to 8 pesos and 80 cents more than the usual price of LPG.
09:16The price of diesel will also rise by 70 cents per liter.
09:19The price of gasoline will rise by 45 cents.
09:22The price of kerosene will rise by 30 cents.
09:27Not just one, but two Chinese missile boats
09:30are chasing the Philippine ships while they are sailing
09:34in the Hasa-Hasa Shoals in the West Philippine Sea.
09:37The B-4 aircraft was also lasered, which is said to be dangerous
09:40because it is possible to accidentally hit the pilot.
09:44This is Ian Cruz.
09:49From the air, the two Chinese missile boats were seen camouflaged in the Hasa-Hasa Shoals
09:55part of the West Philippine Sea this Friday, September 27.
10:00They are chasing the B-4 ships, BRP Datu Matanam Taradapit and BRP Datu Rumapinit.
10:07The two Chinese missile ships were seen here in the West Philippine Sea near the Hasa-Hasa Shoals.
10:14They are chasing the two B-4 ships that went here to the Hasa-Hasa Shoals
10:19to deliver aid to the fishermen here.
10:22I also saw the China Coast Guard Vessel 21555
10:26that landed and passed through the BRP Bagakay of the Philippine Coast Guard
10:30and BRP Datu Sanday of the B-4 for a while.
10:34Later, the missile boat lit up the airplane we were driving.
10:41Our pilots immediately did a radio challenge.
10:56But the Chinese did not respond.
10:58The missile boat lasered twice more.
11:02If it hit our pilot's eye, it will cause temporary blindness.
11:07Later, the direction of the missile boats changed and they slowed down.
11:13According to the National Maritime Council,
11:15the Chinese Navy's missile boat just landed on our civilian vessel.
11:20They will give the reports of B-4 and its media cognate to the DFA.
11:25China's aggression is also experienced by the fishermen.
11:30Sometimes, we let them go. Sometimes, we block them.
11:33That's why the last 10 tons in 15 days of fishing is now 1 ton.
11:40I feel sad and angry.
11:42Of course, it's our job.
11:44Before we are prohibited, we will be angry.
11:47More than 800 fishermen were given diesel and relief packs by B-4.
11:53Aside from the Hasa-Hasa Shoals,
11:55they also delivered relief to Marie Louise Bank and Iroquois Reef
12:00where less than 20 Chinese militia vessels
12:04circled the BRP Datu Pagbuaya and BRP Datu Bangkaw.
12:09They did not approach, so the aid was continued.
12:14Before the arrival of the four B-4 ships on the island on Wednesday, September 25,
12:19these ships were already followed by the Chinese Navy.
12:23In the routine maritime patrol of the B-4 the next day,
12:26less than 10 Chinese militia vessels were seen circling the Hasa-Hasa Shoals.
12:32China radioed the B-4 vessels to sail near San Dikei 1.
12:43China Coast Guard 5101, this is BRP Datu Pagbuaya,
12:47a bureau of fisheries and aquatic resources
12:51conducting a lawful maritime patrol.
12:54We must stay clear of our route. Over.
12:57Later, two inflatable boats of China
13:00with Coast Guard personnel on board arrived at BRP Datu Romapenet.
13:06Two Chinese militia vessels also followed.
13:09One arrived at Romapenet, the other at BRP Datu Pagbuaya.
13:15After that, the Chinese Navy helicopter took off
13:19and circled the two B-4 ships.
13:22Datu Romapenet was in the middle of a Chinese militia vessel,
13:27two inflatable boats and a Chinese Navy helicopter.
13:31China Coast Guard also blocked Pagbuaya,
13:35a dangerous maneuver.
13:46The B-4 vessels only managed to escape, so there were no casualties.
13:50Patrol missions continued on San Dikeis 1, 2 and 3,
13:54which were also targeted by the Chinese vessels.
13:57The Chinese vessels were called by the National Maritime Council as illegal.
14:02That maritime area is within the exclusive economic zone of our country.
14:08They have no right to chase,
14:11they have no right to intimidate the civilian boats there.
14:16That's how fast they move because the submarine is very close.
14:20That's where their Navy ships are hiding or we say they are garaging.
14:25In the maritime patrol of the B-4,
14:27the Chinese ships were already close to the mainland Palawan.
14:31China Coast Guard 5202 and Chinese warship 551
14:37were also close to Palawan.
14:40According to the National Maritime Council,
14:43That's non-negotiable if they enter our 12 nautical miles,
14:48that's our territory.
14:50We can already do more physical challenges.
14:55We can even board them.
14:58From the West Philippine Sea, for GMA Integrated News,
15:01I am Ian Cruz, your witness.
15:05The Games and Amusement Board and GAD Focal Point System
15:09introduced their outstanding women and organizations in the field of professional sports.

15:19which is usually for men.
