00:00We will be together in the next Taxi!
00:17Welcome to State Witness, this is what the Justice Department plans to do when they return to the country.
00:23Former police colonel Roina Garma will finish her sentence in America.
00:27Former President Rodrigo Duterte will go to the camera tomorrow to confront the Quad Committee
00:33that is conducting hearings on the war on drugs.
00:37Witness, Tina Panginiban Perez.
00:43Former police colonel Roina Garma is out of the country.
00:46She is the former police officer who testified in the House Quad Committee
00:50of the Umanoy Reward System in the war against drugs of former President Rodrigo Duterte.
00:56She left with her daughter.
00:59She took PR-104 last Sunday.
01:05Sunday here, PR-104.
01:09She arrived in the U.S. in San Francisco.
01:12She has no hold departure order.
01:15She has not been charged with a crime so she can leave the country with her daughter.
01:21But they were stopped at San Francisco Airport in America, according to the DILG Secretary,
01:27because their U.S. visa was cancelled.
01:30Apparently, in the course of the hearings of the Senate, her visa was cancelled.
01:35So maybe she went to America.
01:39The US INS flagged her.
01:42They detained her and we are in the process of being sent home here.
01:47The Bureau of Immigration is now arranging for her return to the country.
01:51It's time for Garma to return to the country.
01:54According to the Justice Secretary, they will appoint her as a state witness.
01:58We intend to offer her witness protection for that matter,
02:02at least for the matters that the Quad Com is seeking from her.
02:07Of course, there are other things that we are conducting.
02:10The purpose of the case build-up is to make sure that the cases to be filed are strong cases.
02:16She may be part of it in one way or the other.
02:19There's no case against her. She can just go home.
02:23She can, but we will offer her protection.
02:26The House Quad Committee continues the hearings.
02:29Last night, the former Chief Presidential Legal Counsel of Duterte, Atty. Salvador Panelo,
02:35said that the former President will attend the hearings tomorrow.
02:38However, the scheduled hearings will be postponed for now
02:42because some witnesses are still confirming their testimonies.
02:46Panelo said today that Duterte will still go to the House of Representatives tomorrow
02:52to confront the Quad Com on the postponement of the hearings when they are not being informed.
02:58The former President wants to schedule the 10-day marathon hearings.
03:04But the Quad Com said that they did not receive any confirmation that Duterte will attend the hearings tomorrow.
03:11Their first invitation was snubbed by Duterte.
03:16We were supposed to have a November 13 hearing, but we decided to cancel it yesterday.
03:23Now, they will say that he will go. What's going on brother?
03:27It's also not true that they don't have a visa in Duterte's camp.
03:31Because they sent him a letter that the hearings were postponed.
03:36Last night, a person from Duterte messaged the Quad Com to say that they received the notice
03:43and Duterte wants to confirm if the hearings were really canceled.
03:48It was only on social media that the congressmen learned that Duterte plans to confront the Quad Com tomorrow.
03:55Why would we get confirmation on our social media?
03:59I mean, we are the ones who are officially writing it.
04:03We are not announcing it on social media.
04:06We are inviting the former President.
04:09In my opinion, they did it on purpose.
04:11Because this was discussed on Sunday.
04:16That's their style, right?
04:22To make it appear that we are the ones who are backing this kind of invitation.
04:27According to the Quad Com, they cannot continue the hearings tomorrow,
04:31only for the former President Duterte, because he is not the only one who is invited to speak.
04:37Another thing, the camera has a three-day rule
04:40where everyone who attends a hearing must be informed three days before it is postponed.
04:47For GMA Integrated News, I am Tina Panganiban Perez, your witness.
04:55There's no food, no electricity.
04:57That's the problem for some in Aurora because of the typhoon Nika.
05:01And from Kasiguran, witness, Darlene Cai.
05:07Darlene?
05:11Pia, there's still no electricity supply here in the town of Kasiguran in Aurora.
05:15A few posts of electricity were damaged when the typhoon Nika hit here.
05:24That's why residents who don't have a generator are relying on candles,
05:27gas stoves or lights that are solar or battery powered.
05:30Mea is having a hard time because she has two young children who cannot sleep at night because of the heat.
05:36Marjorie said that the electricity supply here should be restored immediately.
05:41According to Kasiguran MDRMO,
05:43Aurelco is trying to restore the electricity supply here this week.
05:50It's really hard, especially for us who have young children.
05:53It's really hard when there's no electricity.
05:56There will be no electricity.
05:59After the strong wind and rain caused by the typhoon Nika,
06:12the town of Dilasag in Aurora experienced a severe storm.
06:16From fallen trees to damaged houses and other structures.
06:21The typhoon Nika hit Dilasag in Glanfall yesterday.
06:26I was shocked.
06:28It was so strong.
06:30I tried to hold on to it but it kept moving.
06:36I was really scared.
06:38I remember what happened yesterday.
06:41I cried yesterday.
06:45I thought that our house would also be damaged by the strong wind.
06:53I prayed.
06:55I said, stop it.
06:58Stop it.
07:02I was really scared.
07:06The river also overflowed so the three barangays were isolated.
07:09The water level is still high and the storm is strong here
07:13so the barangay Diagyan cannot go to the municipality of Dilasag in Aurora.
07:20Even the motorists going to Dinapigue Isabela cannot pass through.
07:25But some still managed to cross.
07:28I'm not afraid anymore because I can go to my loved ones in Dilasag
07:35so I can see how they are doing.
07:37There's no communication, ma'am.
07:39We're trying to contact them now.
07:43As I said, they are still isolated.
07:48Even though it's a sunny day, we still cannot cross.
07:56Will they get relief if the water level goes up?
07:59Yes, that's what will happen.
08:02In the neighboring town of Kasiguran,
08:04there's no more flood but the barangay left by the storm is still strong.
08:07The strong wind washed away 101 banana trees in this area.
08:11Even if we cry, there's nothing we can do.
08:14It will take 4 years for the new banana trees to grow and bear fruit.
08:21Family food packs were given to the affected residents.
08:24The LGU officials are doing clearing operations to remove the affected residents.
08:30But there's still no electricity in Kasiguran and Dilasag.
08:33It may take another month for the electricity supply in Dilasag.
08:38Even if there's a shortage of electricity,
08:40the line of communication will still be difficult.
08:42The province of Aurora remains alert for the upcoming typhoons.
08:47We need to be prepared to avoid a disaster.
08:52We need to take care of our families.
08:57We should not leave our homes unattended.
09:03It should be strong.
09:04If there's a need to evacuate, we will evacuate.
09:08It's too early for us.
09:16The local government is continuing the assessment
09:19to find out the exact location of the typhoon Nika
09:23in the province of Aurora.
09:25Live from Kasiguran, Aurora for GMA Integrated News,
09:30I'm Darlene Kaye, your witness.
09:33Darlene, you showed in your report earlier
09:36the affected residents, their livelihood.
09:39And in one of your interviews, you mentioned that
09:41it was four years before the trees were able to be built again,
09:44the broken trees.
09:46Is the local government asking for help
09:49for those affected by the typhoon?
09:52Because what we saw during the typhoon Christine,
09:54they are asking for help for their livelihood.
09:58That's right, Pia.
09:59The residents here are asking for help
10:02for those affected by the typhoon.
10:04For now, they are being given family food packs
10:08to the affected residents in the villages of Dilasag
10:11and also to Kasiguran.
10:13But one of the things being discussed now
10:15is the cash assistance that will be given to them.
10:18The mayor of Dilasag is also calling
10:20for those who want to donate to the affected residents
10:25instead of food packs that they already have for now,
10:28to donate materials that they can use
10:31to compensate for their damaged homes, Pia.
10:34Alright, thank you very much, Darlene Kaye.
10:38My fellow viewers, since the typhoon Christine,
10:40every Sunday, there is a new typhoon being monitored
10:43in the Philippine Area of Responsibility.
10:45And all of that, including the two typhoons
10:47that are expected to have an effect on the country,
10:50all of that, including the two typhoons
10:52that are expected to have an effect on the country,
10:54is being monitored by the North.
10:56Why? Let's find out in this live coverage
10:58by Niko Wahe.
11:00Niko?
11:05Pia, the loss of air pollution
11:07is the reason why all of the typhoons
11:10that are entering the country are being monitored by the North.
11:13They say that air pollution is being delayed
11:15and this is also the longest delay
11:17that has been predicted
11:19since they started recording this in 2015.
11:26The first typhoon to enter in October was the typhoon Christine.
11:29It hit Northern Luzon and landed in Isabela.
11:33Next was the typhoon Leon,
11:34which entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility
11:37a few days after the typhoon Christine left.
11:39Both typhoons passed through Northern Luzon.
11:42On the first week of November,
11:44this was the typhoon Semarse.
11:46On November 9,
11:47this was the typhoon Nika.
11:49It also hit the typhoon Ophel
11:51inside the PHAR
11:53which is also a typhoon in the northern part of the country.
11:55The typhoon is being monitored outside the PHAR
11:57which is called Pepito
11:59when it is already inside the PHAR.
12:01The reason for the following typhoons
12:03is embedded in the so-called
12:05Intertropical Convergence Zone.
12:07The ITCZ is a series of low-pressure areas
12:11that oscillate north to south of our country.
12:16For now,
12:17those are the breeding places of the typhoons
12:20that's why we can see the typhoons coming one after another.
12:25There is also a big effect in the country
12:27that is experienced by the La Niña-like condition.
12:30According to the experts,
12:31this is the reason why the typhoon came to us strongly.
12:35The La Niña means that
12:38there is unusual cooling far away from us
12:41in the Pacific Ocean.
12:43But there is unusual warming in the Pacific Ocean
12:46that is close to us.
12:47That's why we can notice that
12:49the typhoons are becoming a typhoon and super typhoon category
12:52because the temperature of the Pacific Ocean
12:55that is close to us is very hot.
12:57So, it is very favorable for our typhoons to intensify.
13:02The same scenario happened in November 2008
13:06when the La Niña also erupted.
13:08Four typhoons entered the country
13:10within a week
13:12in the eastern part of the country.
13:14The same happened in October 2016.
13:17What's different this year is that
13:19the typhoon wind is not yet here.
13:21If we already have a typhoon,
13:23this will be the factor that will change the track of our typhoon
13:27that will possibly lower the track of our typhoon
13:30if the typhoon is already there or fully established.
13:33This is the latest arrival of a typhoon
13:35since the beginning of the record of typhoons in 2015.
13:39But according to the typhoon forecast,
13:40the typhoon wind is already close.
13:43We came from El Niño
13:46and now we have La Niña
13:49and also there are so-called intraseasonal variability.
13:53So, what we are looking at is not just the day-to-day weather.
13:57In spite of the following typhoons,
13:59the trend now is that the number of typhoons entering the country is lower.
14:03But it's up to us.
14:05The number of typhoons that are becoming more intense
14:08and becoming a type of super typhoon category,
14:10that is the increase of the trend.
14:17According to the forecast,
14:18one to two typhoons are expected to enter the country this year
14:23after this typhoon Pepito.
14:25Live from here in Pag-asa,
14:27for GMA Integrated News,
14:29I am Nico Jae, your witness.
14:32There is no more typhoon Mika,
14:33but there are new typhoons that need to be prepared.
14:36First is Rian, the typhoon Ophel
14:38that entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility
14:40and it is possible that it will rise even more before it reaches the ground.
14:43According to the latest forecast track of Pag-asa,
14:45it is possible that it will rise on the east coast of Cagayan
14:48or Isabela on Thursday afternoon or evening.
14:51For now, there is no wind signal yet,
14:53but there is a heavy rainfall outlook already.
14:55Pag-asa is in some parts of Northern Luzon.
14:58Starting tomorrow afternoon,
14:59it is possible that there will be heavy to intense rains in Isabela
15:02and moderate to heavy rains in Cagayan, Apayaw, Abra, Calinga,
15:07Mountain Province, and Aurora.
15:09Based on the data of Metro Weather,
15:11it is also possible that there will be heavy rains in other parts of Luzon,
15:14Western Visayas, and some parts of Mindanao.
15:17In Metro Manila, it is also possible that there will be localized thunderstorms,
15:20especially in the afternoon and evening.
15:23Meanwhile, there is another typhoon that can follow the typhoon Ophel,
15:26and that is the typhoon with an international name of Mani.
15:30When it enters the PAR, it will be called Pag-yong Pepito.
