00:00Meanwhile, under the Supreme Court's order, the return to the National Treasury of the funds that were not used by PhilHealth was suspended.

00:07But the remaining funds and not the Php60 billion that were previously used are now enough.

00:13Let's hear from Lima Refran.

00:19Almost Php10 billion.

00:21That's how big it is when it is said that PhilHealth was not used.

00:25That's why the Department of Finance suspended it again under the Bureau of Treasury under the Visa of the Department Circular 003-2024.

00:34This is in accordance with the General Appropriations Act for 2024

00:38to fund the unprogrammed appropriations or the projects that are already approved but not yet determined where the money will be collected.

00:46The enforcement of some health reforms and anti-corruption advocates and budget analysts is severe.

00:52But according to the Finance Department and PhilHealth, this is a legal action.

00:57And since May, PhilHealth was able to transfer Php60 billion to the National Treasury.

01:03The lessons from the transfer to the Supreme Court that fell.

01:07The Temporary Restraining Order or TRO was issued by the Supreme Court

01:12that stopped the transfer of government funds that were not yet used by PhilHealth to various projects of the government.

01:20What's left of it is what has not yet been transferred.

01:24The TRO is effective immediately.

01:26The TRO is just really to prevent the further transfer of more funds from PhilHealth to the National Treasury.

01:32The TRO is not yet ready to return to the transfer of funds, although it is part of the petitioners' request.

01:39Among them is the group of Isang Bayan, Bayan Muna,

01:42and the group of Medical Professionals and Concerned Citizens and Senate Minority Leader Coco Pimentel.

01:49The Supreme Court has consolidated or heard at the same time the petitions of the groups

01:54that questioned the constitutionality or compliance with the law on the transfer of unused PhilHealth funds.

02:01The oral arguments for this were filed on January 14, 2025.

02:06The Supreme Court gave 10 days for the respondents to comment,

02:10including the leaders of the Finance Department, Congress, and PhilHealth.

02:14According to PhilHealth, this will follow the decision of the Supreme Court.

02:18They are still able to provide health protection through a better benefit package and availment policy.

02:26According to Secretary Ralph Recto, the Finance Department will also immediately intervene.

02:31They have also prepared the oral arguments to clarify the issues.

02:36The Office of the Solicitor General, which is the body of the respondents,

02:41respects the TRO of the Supreme Court.

02:44On behalf of the petitioner Isang Bayan,

02:47he thanked Retired Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio

02:51and said that this is a salvation for the millions of Filipinos who rely on PhilHealth.

02:59The Independent Health Reform Advocate, Dr. Tony Leachon, also approved the decision of the Supreme Court.

03:06They hope to get back the transfer of funds.

03:09It's time for the Supreme Court to make a decision.

03:12Next up, breaking news for GMA Integrated News.

03:21Hello Blinks and Number Ones!

03:23Blackpink member Rosé has a new achievement.

03:29Her song, Apatit, made it to the Billboard Hot 100 Top 10.

03:33She also collaborated with Grammy Award winning artist Bruno Mars.

03:38Their song, Apatit, made it to the Hot 100 Top 10.

03:43Because of that, Rosé is the first female K-pop artist to make it to the Billboard Hot 100 Top 10.

03:51Apatit is also number one on the Billboard Global 200.

03:55Rosé thanked Bruno Mars on Instagram and all the Blinks and fans who supported her.

04:08In the middle of a flood in Alzira, Spain

04:12A helicopter found and rescued some drivers trapped in the middle of a heavy flood in Alzira, Spain.

04:21According to local media, one truck driver is missing.

04:25Authorities warned that there will be at least 150 incidents of flooding.

04:31The area of Alzira, Spain is also under the highest alert because of the heavy rain.

04:38In our next episode of Super Typhoon Leon, we will watch live Glyza Escullar, weather specialist from Pag-asa.

04:46Good afternoon to you.

04:49Good afternoon to you, Rafi.

04:51Yes, compared to the typhoon Christine, the typhoon Leon seems to be stronger.

04:56Should we expect that the typhoon will be stronger like the typhoon Christine?

05:02You're right, sir Rafi.

05:04The typhoon's intensity is faster because of the hot sea on the east coast of our country.

05:15We expect that it will be stronger up to 195 kmph before it reaches the botanical area.

05:22This is what we call rapid intensification.

05:24The hot sea is the cause of the typhoon.

05:26Will the typhoon be stronger?

05:29Yes, sir.

05:30We expect that the typhoon will be stronger up to 195 kmph before it reaches the botanical area.

05:44Aside from the wind that we saw on the map, how much rain will it bring?

05:51The typhoon Leon is expected to bring torrential rain, especially here in Batanes and Cagayan Islands.

06:03If the typhoon Leon lands here in Batanes, what destructive power will it bring?

06:11We expect that the typhoon Leon will bring either wind signal number 4 or number 5 before it reaches Batanes.

06:22If the storm surge is this strong, how high will it be?

06:29What will be the affected areas?

06:32We expect that the storm surge will be 2.1 to 3 meters high, especially here in Maya,

06:40Silangang Seaboard of Northern Luzon and Northern Seaboard of Northern Luzon.

06:45This includes Cagayan, not just Batanes?

06:49That's correct.

06:50Cagayan, Isabela, and Ilocos Norte areas are included.

06:54What are the affected areas of the typhoon Leon?

07:02The affected areas of the typhoon Leon are affected by wind signals.

07:05We have data that shows that the typhoon Leon will bring torrential rain and storm surge.

07:14As reported by Mag. Gonzalez earlier, the affected areas of Occidental Mindoro and Western Visayas are also affected by the typhoon.

07:24Wind signal number 3 is in Batanes, the eastern portion of Babuyan Island,

07:30northeastern portion of mainland Cagayan, and wind signal number 2 is in the rest of Babuyan Islands,

07:37rest of mainland Cagayan, northern and eastern portions of Isabela,

07:41here in Apayao, Calinga, northern and eastern portion of Abra,

07:45and also in the eastern portion of Mountain Province and Ilocos Norte.

07:49Wind signal number 1 is in the northern part of Isabela, Quirino, Nueva Vizcaya,

07:55northern part of Mountain Province, Ifugao, Binguet, northern part of Abra, Ilocos Sur, La Union,

08:01Pangasinan, Nueva Ecija, Aurora, northeastern portion of Tarlac,

08:06and here in the northern portion of Bulacan, northern portion of Quezon,

08:10including Colilio Islands, Camarines Norte, northern portion of Camarines Sur,

08:15and northern and eastern portions of Catanduanes.

08:18Wind signal number 2 is in Albay.

08:21We can see that the eye of the storm is defined. What does this mean?

08:29It means that the storm is more compact.

08:32It means that it is more concentrated in the middle,

08:35which is why it brings rain and wind.

08:38Although there is still rain in the Memoropa and Western Visayas that is expected,

08:43but it is likely that it will receive heavy rain for now,

08:46which is what the storm will go through.

08:49And because the typhoon intensity reached super typhoon intensity,

08:54which is why the typhoon is expected at 8 in the morning,

08:58we can see that the storm is more compact.

09:05Let's repeat again,

09:07the storm is expected to bring strong wind and rain.

09:12And even if you mentioned that the storm is far away,

09:15it will still bring rain.

09:16What is the outlook here in Metro Manila?

09:19Here in Metro Manila, fortunately for us,

09:22we are hoping that the weather will be calm until tomorrow.

09:27But when the storm comes, the weather will be better.

09:32What will bring rain until tomorrow are localized thunderstorms,

09:37although there will be heavy rain.

09:41This is just a short-lived or temporary.

09:44So, we continue to talk to BISO ng Pag-asa

09:46and of course to the newscast of GMI.

09:49Thank you very much.

09:51The field of some drug war victims is studying

09:53if they can use what they said to former President Rodrigo Duterte

09:56in the hearing of the Senate this Monday.

09:59The House Squad Committee that is investigating the drug war

10:02again invited the former president to face their hearing.

10:06Breaking news, Sandra Aguinaldo is with you.

10:12I can make the confession now, if you want.

10:16I have a death squad, but not the police.

10:26They are also the gangsters.

10:29What I said is this, let's be frank.

10:34Encourage the criminals to fight.

10:40Encourage them to draw their guns.

10:43These statements of former President Rodrigo Duterte

10:46in the hearing of the Senate,

10:48cannot be said to be just a joke.

10:50According to Senate President Jesus Codero,

10:52the former president did not say anything new,

10:55but the difference now is...

10:57All the words he said are under oath.

11:00They were lied to.

11:02And he said that this is the truth.

11:04To the extent of his knowledge,

11:07that it can be used in favor or against him.

11:11I think he is proud of the things he did and said.

11:14He is not ashamed of what he did and said.

11:20That is clear in his statement.

11:23But can Duterte face the cases

11:26based on what he said in the Senate?

11:29Said Escudero.

11:30Because in the end, you still have to complain.

11:33The party in interest, the one who can complain

11:36is the victim's family.

11:38The group of drug war victims' relatives

11:41will discuss a possible legal action.

11:44But hopefully, they will be helped by the government.

11:47Maybe the Department of Justice or the NBI

11:53can look into these cases

11:59and give the responsibility to the families

12:02who are in need of responsibility.

12:04For Senator Poco Pimentel,

12:07Chairman of the Senate Subcommittee

12:09on Drug War Victims,

12:11he wants the lawyers to study

12:13what Duterte said while under oath.

12:18Senator Riza Ontiveros,

12:20who is in the hearing,

12:22hopes that the Department of Justice

12:24and the investigators of the International Criminal Court

12:27will study what the former President said.

12:30In the opinion of one of the lawyers

12:32of the war on drugs victims who went to the ICC,

12:35is the ICC admissible?

12:37Or can the ICC accept Duterte's statements in the Senate?

12:41There are only two questions.

12:42Is it relevant? Is it material?

12:45Is it relevant?

12:47Is it related to the investigation in the ICC?

12:52Yes.

12:53Regarding the war on drugs of Duterte,

12:55is it material?

12:56Is it important to face the ICC?

13:00Yes.

13:01Because this is what he said.

13:03ACT-Teachers Partylist Representative Franz Castro

13:07called for the Senate to submit the affidavit

13:09and recording of the Senate hearing in the ICC.

13:12The Quadcom in Cabra again denied their invitation

13:16to face former President Duterte in their hearing

13:19at the DOJ in Rawambola

13:21to investigate his statements in the Senate.

13:25These cases could include crimes against humanity

13:29as penalized under Republic Act No. 9851,

13:32the Philippine Act on Crimes Against International Humanitarian Law,

13:38genocide, and other crimes against humanity.

13:42That's the title of the Republic Act.

13:46And other criminal laws,

13:48not to mention the potential jurisdiction of the ICC.

13:51If the DOJ asks,

13:53that we can turn over the documents,

13:55we will do it.

13:56If some Quadcom co-chairs in Cabra ask,

14:00they prefer that the Philippine courts hold Duterte's case.

14:05Well, I have always been true to my statement

14:11since we started the EJK hearings

14:16that I'm not going to allow the ICC to get our documents for that.

14:22It's better if he's just domestically prosecuted.

14:28I'm not in favor of the ICC ever since.

14:30Now, if the DOJ fails in doing their job on this matter,

14:35then the more the ICC will take cognizance.

14:39So I think it's really up to the DOJ to do their work.

14:43We are asking for the DOJ's consent on this matter.

14:47Sandra Aguinaldo reporting for GMA Integrated News.

14:59Some of their countrymen have chosen to travel before boarding.

15:03Just like Angelica,

15:05who traveled early from Dagupan, Pangasinan to Iwas, Siksikan.

15:10For now, the situation in some terminals is still normal.

15:13There are enough number of travel buses

15:16and some buses have already obtained a special permit.

15:20Approximately 3,000 passengers are expected to travel from the terminals

15:26here in Dagupan on the long weekend.
