00:00Live from the GMA Network Center,
00:0420 years have passed, 24 hours.
00:11Good evening, Luzon Visayas and Mindanao.
00:15In the eve of the deadline,
00:17the former President Rodrigo Duterte
00:21also denied his candidacy for Davao City.
00:24He also answered why he can no longer run for a national position
00:28and denied the disease of cancer.
00:30The former President also shared a video
00:34of his administration's drug war.
00:38This was broadcast live by Argyle Relator
00:40of GMA Regional TV.
00:42Argyle.
00:47Mel Inil Vicky expects the Duterte-Duterte tandem
00:50to be in the highest positions in Davao City
00:53after their candidacy for Davao City.
00:56Former President Rodrigo Duterte,
00:58Mayor of Luzon,
00:59and Vice Mayor,
01:01his son, Incumbent Mayor Sebastian Baste Duterte.
01:08At 4 p.m. last afternoon,
01:10the former President Rodrigo Duterte
01:13and his son, Davao City Mayor Baste Duterte,
01:16arrived in Davao City together.
01:19The parents signed their candidacy certificates.
01:23The former President will run for Mayor of Davao City.
01:27His son, Sebastian, will run for Vice Mayor.
01:31The COC was the first to sign for his third term
01:35as Davao City First District Representative,
01:38Congressman Paulo Duterte,
01:40through his lawyer.
01:42Yesterday, the former President announced his plan.
01:46His son, Vice President Sara Duterte,
01:49will not be replaced.
01:51It is possible for Duterte to run for Senate.
01:55I think that at my age 73,
02:02it looks like I can't do it anymore.
02:08Let us be realistic about it.
02:12You think that I can carry a national campaign at my age?
02:20Or do you want me to die?
02:22No, I don't think so.
02:26It will collapse.
02:27While explaining to the President
02:30why he will run for Vice Mayor,
02:32Duterte mentioned his cancer.
02:35Duterte did not add anything about it.
02:38At the same time,
02:40Duterte said that he is ready to face
02:42the Quad Committee of the Camera
02:44in the drug war of his administration.
02:46Last month, the former President was invited
02:49to face the committee
02:51after he was accused of killing
02:53Chinese drug lords in 2016.
02:56If they will invite me,
02:59I just hope that they would ask
03:03educated questions.
03:05Duterte will face the mayoral race,
03:08Bishop Rodolfo Rodcubos,
03:10founder of Christ the Healer International Missions Movement.
03:13My advantage here is that people are speaking.
03:16The people are speaking.
03:18I have nothing against Tatay Digong.
03:20Tatay Digong is my Tatay Digong.
03:23If Tatay has no problem,
03:26an old problem,
03:28his body is weak.
03:29We can't fight that.
03:31That's why I think
03:33I want a real discussion,
03:35a real change.
03:36His tandem as Vice Mayor
03:38is the former employee of the City Government of Davao,
03:41Rodora Barcena.
03:49Vicky, in our interview with President Duterte,
03:52he said that he still wants to serve in Davao City.
03:55Vicky.
03:56Thank you very much, Argyl Relator of GMA Regional TV.
04:02Following the deportation of foreigners
04:05who were running around Pogo,
04:07the Filipinos were the ones who were forced to continue their operation.
04:12On the other hand,
04:13the illegal smuggling and scamming
04:17were done by San Ymar Retras.
04:22In the dispute over the IGL or Internet Gaming Licensee
04:26in Pasay last week,
04:28aside from the foreigners,
04:30there were also Filipinos employed.
04:32The 3D Analyzer Information Technology was raided
04:35due to allegations of running a scam farm.
04:38More than 200 authorities were investigated,
04:4162 of them were Filipinos.
04:43Maybe they are blaming us,
04:45but it's just a case of making a choice in life.
04:48It's hard to die of hunger.
04:52But according to the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission of Paok,
04:55the reports that there are Filipinos
04:58who are running their own illegal Pogo operations are more troublesome.
05:03It's been a long time since the illegal smuggling
05:09and online scam hubs were raided.
05:13These Filipinos will learn how to save funds,
05:19have a strong heart, network, connection,
05:21and they will be the ones to start.
05:23This is included in Paok's guidelines
05:26for the total ban on Pogo at the end of the year.
05:29What's scary is the indigenous scam farm
05:33that the Filipinos are running.
05:35This is what we see.
05:36There are some who are trying.
05:39The question is why?
05:41Because the money is too big.
05:43The government of the Department of Justice and Paok
05:46initiated a Task Force Pogo Closure.
05:49That's a different story.
05:51If we see that they're the ones who are perpetrating the scams,
05:57we'll charge anybody who's responsible for it.
06:00We will not spare anybody.
06:01According to the Bureau of Immigration,
06:0310,000 of the estimated 100,000 foreign Pogo workers
06:07applied to downgrade their 9G or pre-arranged employment visas.
06:13Until October 15 or next week,
06:16foreign Pogo workers will downgrade their work visas.
06:20When October 16 comes,
06:22they will be automatically cancelled.
06:25After October 15,
06:27the Bureau of Immigration will issue a cancellation order
06:32to all those who have not yet filed for the downgrading of their visas.
06:39There will be an order to leave,
06:42meaning they will be required to leave within a 59-day period.
06:46For GMA Integrated News, I'm Nima Refran.
06:49For 24 Hours.
06:52A member of the Cabinet, a current Senator,
06:55and some are returning to Congress.
06:57These are just a few of the candidates who made it to the election
07:01on the eve of the last day of the COC filing.
07:04And live from Manila Hotel,
07:06this is Sandra Aguinaldo.
07:13Yes, Vicky.
07:14You know, this whole afternoon
07:16has been the most difficult time for the COC filers
07:21since we started on October 1.
07:23How come it's already the last day tomorrow
07:26of the COC filing?
07:30Even if it's already past 5 o'clock,
07:33as long as you're already inside the tent city of Manila Hotel
07:39at 5 o'clock,
07:41your Certificate of Candidacy will still be accepted.
07:44Earlier, Vicky, it was almost 6 o'clock
07:47when the filing for today was completed.
07:51Here is the report.
07:56One of those who ate her Certificate of Candidacy
07:59as a Senator today
08:01is DILG Secretary Benher Abalos.
08:04Deemed resigned or considered a liar
08:07in her position as a secretary
08:09of the DILG, Abalos,
08:11in accordance with the decision of the Supreme Court.
08:14For now, the OIC is the interim,
08:18but we are waiting for the announcement of Malacanang here.
08:22The COC also filed for the re-election of Senator Bong Revilla
08:26under LACA-CMD.
08:28A few Senators who also ate the Certificate of Candidacy
08:32are the former Senator Bam Aquino, Gregorio Onasan,
08:35and Manny Pacquiao.
08:37The COC also filed for the former Governor
08:39and now the Narvacan Mayor Chavit Singson,

09:02Nelson Alcajas, who has a son who is seriously ill,
09:07Maria Fiera, Pedro Ordiales,
09:10and James Reyes.
09:12The COC also submitted the candidates for Senator

09:20Arnel Escobar, Michael Tapado,
09:23Gerald Arcega, Mario Pagaragan,

09:47Transport Leader Mar Valbuena,
09:50former NTF-ALCAC Executive Director Alan Capuyan,
09:53and Independent Senatorial Aspirant Artemio Makiso.
10:05Vicky, as of now, according to Comilac,
10:08the COC also filed former Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana
10:12and Attorney Raul Lambino of PDP-Laban
10:15and through their representative only
10:19and they did not really go here and confront the media.
10:23Among those who filed today were
10:26Fernando Diaz, David de Angelo,
10:29Orlando de Guzman, Edgardo Duque,
10:32Jeffrey Adriano, Neling Paliza, Eduardo Bautista.
10:35There are others who filed as COCs
10:38in the Senate today who did not confront the media
10:41and they are Humalon Alice,
10:44Oga Patoza, Yoloyo Alvarico Tam,
10:49Jose Abelardo Asuncion Ongoco,
10:52Oscar de Leon Cacipong,
10:55and Agapito Managase.
10:58So Vicky, as of now, it is clean.
11:01There are almost no people here but members of the media
11:04and Comilac is preparing for a big day tomorrow,
11:08tomorrow is the last day of COC filing, Vicky.
11:12Sandra, so now, how many COCs have filed in the Senate?
11:21Yes, in the Senate, Vicky, the last count given to us by Comilac
11:26is 127 Senators
11:29and 137 party list groups, Vicky.
11:34Sandra, tomorrow is the last day of COC filing
11:38and as Comilac said before, they will not allow
11:41the replacement of the candidate after October 8.
11:44What are the rules of Comilac regarding the substitution?
11:52Yes, Vicky, that's right and Comilac always reminds
11:55that the filing of COC is October 1 to 8
11:59and this is also the time that you can file
12:02or replace the candidate.
12:05So what they want is to avoid the so-called placeholder, Vicky,
12:11where some people file and later on
12:14they can still replace other candidates.
12:17So that is the time given by Comilac
12:20to avoid the replacement of candidates
12:25if the printing of balotas is near, Vicky.
12:30Alright, thank you very much, Sandra Aguinaldo.
12:35According to Justice Secretary Crispin Remulia,
12:38his brother, Cavite Governor John V. Remulia
12:41will replace Benhur Abalos as DILG Secretary.
12:45We are still waiting for the confirmation of the case.
12:48Stay tuned.
12:51Six countries, including the Philippines,
12:52will conduct military exercise in Northern Luzon.
12:55Their warships have already arrived in the country.
12:59But where is this for?
13:01Chino Gaston is on the scene.
13:06The warships from America, Australia, Japan, Canada, and the Philippines
13:12are already in Subic Bay for the 2024 exercises.
13:16Observers from the UK have sent
13:19interoperability or the ability to sail simultaneously
13:23to the military exercise
13:26that will end in a joint sail in Northern Luzon.
13:30This includes providing sufficient supplies to the ships and people
13:34whenever there is a military operation or a time of emergency.
13:38Will training be used for resupply missions
13:41to the BRP Sierra Madre in Ayungin Shoal
13:43that was blocked by China several times?
13:46We'll execute that as much as possible.
13:49Some of the assets that we had hoped to send here,
13:52we couldn't, but we can still have the training.
13:56In the past, China used to call for the Philippines
14:00to invite its allies for a military exercise.
14:04According to the Northern Luzon Command of the AFP,
14:07no country is allowed to conduct joint exercises.
14:11The joint sail to the Scarborough Shoal
14:15that China is adopting will not be near.
14:16This is actually a six-nation exercise
14:20to develop skills,
14:22to develop different logistic systems
14:28so that we could help each other.
14:30Everybody's maritime interests are protected.
14:32We might not be going out of the territorial seas,
14:36but we will conduct it mostly in the northern part of Luzon.
14:41The main message of the joint exercise of the countries
14:49under the 2024 Joint Military Exercises
14:54For GMA Integrated News,
14:56Chino Gaston for 24 Hours.
15:00A year of strife between Israel and Hamas is not yet over.
15:07Lebanon is now under tension.
15:09Israel and Hezbollah are exchanging attacks
15:15as well as our fellow Filipinos
15:18who are waiting to be repatriated.
15:21J.P. Soriano reports.
15:27The Filipinos are in tears
15:29as they are trying to escape
15:31the Lebanese children and wives
15:33from the southern part of Lebanon.
15:37Meanwhile,
15:38the Israeli forces and Hezbollah
15:41are trying to escape from Lebanon.
15:45They are heading to a faraway place
15:48near the office of their minister.
15:51But even there,
15:53the explosions are still heard.
15:55I don't know.
15:57I'm so scared.
15:58I can't sleep.
16:00Because every night,
16:02the Israeli bombs are very powerful.
16:05The windows of our houses are on fire.
16:10Even though we are far away,
16:12the bombs are very powerful.
16:13Loro is just one of hundreds of Filipinos
16:15in southern Lebanon
16:16who have been contacted by the Philippine Embassy
16:19and the Department of Migrant Workers
16:21and are being sent to safer houses
16:24while they are waiting for repatriation.
16:27We have three shelters running now
16:30together with OWA
16:31in coordination with the Philippine Embassy,
16:33the DFA in Beirut.
16:34So far, we are sheltering around 150 Filipinos
16:37in three different shelters in Lebanon.
16:43The problem is that
16:44because the situation in Lebanon is complicated,
16:47many airlines are cancelling flights.
16:50But according to OWA,
16:52some Filipinos were able to return home
16:54one by one every time a flight opens.
16:57For now, what we're doing
16:58is to board them
16:59here in the available flights
17:00from the Lebanese airlines.
17:02And in tandem with DMW,
17:05who is also preparing for a chartered flight,
17:07it will probably start on October 15.
17:10But for those who are just starting,
17:12as long as there are available seats,
17:14we bring them home.
17:15Israel's attack on Lebanon
17:17is like this
17:18in the subsequent attacks of Hezbollah
17:20and support to the Hamas group
17:22where the country of Israel is at war.
17:26The Israel-Hamas war
17:28broke out exactly a year ago
17:31after Hamas attacked southern Israel,
17:34particularly in the kibbutz or housing facilities
17:37where more than 1,000 people were killed
17:40including the four Filipino caregivers.
17:43Israel is being attacked by the United Nations
17:46and other countries
17:48because of their fierce attack on Gaza
17:51where thousands of civilians were killed
17:54including children.
17:56But Israel says
17:57they will continue to defend their country.
18:01One of Hamas' targets
18:03and the only survivor
18:05is Jelenor Jimmy Pacheco.
18:07He returned to Israel after being released
18:10but decided to return to the Philippines
18:13because for him,
18:14the situation of the war is getting worse.
18:17The situation got worse
18:19and I thought that
18:21I might lose my life
18:24so I will return to the Philippines.
18:26IDF and the Israeli government
18:28is doing its utmost
18:30to keep the safety of everybody in Israel.
18:34For GMA Integrated News,
18:36JP Soriano,
18:37for 24 Hours.
