00:00Let's all become one, Taksi!
00:16The strong winds of Gonzaga and Cagayan can be heard in the gusts of the Ophel storm,
00:22as well as in Santa Ana and other parts of the province.
00:25In the town of Buwek, a resident was hit by a storm while he was swimming.
00:32The storm surge is also expected in the next 24 hours in some parts of Cagayan and Ilocos Norte.
00:39It is possible that it will reach more than 3 meters.
00:42And from 2 to 3 meters is the possible storm surge in some parts of Aurora, Batanes, Ilocos Sur, and Isabela.
00:50Many residents of Cagayan were forced to evacuate due to the Ophel storm.
00:57And in Isabela, there are families who are being evacuated to the evacuation center.
01:01From Ilagan City, Isabela, this is James Agustin.
01:06James?
01:08Pia, it's been raining heavily here in Ilagan City, in Isabela, this evening.
01:14And there are some towns that carried out pre-emptive evacuation earlier.
01:18Some of the residents were forced to evacuate.
01:20This is the fourth day in the evacuation center.
01:27A strong wind blew in a school in Barangay Santa Margarita in Bagao, Cagayan.
01:35Roofs were removed.
01:36Iron bars were spread.
01:38And trees were cut in the surroundings.
01:41A landfall in Bagao earlier this afternoon, midday of the Ophel storm.
01:44Wind and rain were also strong in Gonzaga.
01:50In Barangay Calayan, the wind was almost as strong as the trees of Niung.
01:55A landfall in Barangay Floreshing.
01:58That's why the roads and houses were flooded.
02:02The storm was also strong in Ilocagaya, in Amulung City.
02:07There was almost zero visibility in Santa Ana City.
02:10There was almost zero visibility in Santa Ana City because of the strong wind accompanied by the rain.
02:17Evacuation for some residents was also forced.
02:21In Barangay San Vicente, evacuees arrived one after another.
02:25But there were not enough roofs to serve as evacuation centers for the 200 families that evacuated.
02:31Some of the classrooms were hit by the Martian storm.
02:33We set up 25 individuals in the rooms.
02:38We set up 30 in the big rooms.
02:41But because it was not enough, some said it was too small.
02:45So we decided to make it smaller.
02:48Some towns in the province lost their power supply.
02:51And the cell phone signal was also difficult in many places.
02:56The strong wind of the Ophel storm also felt on the way home of Isabela.
02:59She accompanied the heavy rain at 2 p.m.
03:03That's why some residents were evacuated in some barangays in the northern part of the town.
03:09They were accompanied by their pets.
03:11For the past typhoons, they were also stranded near Cagayan River.
03:17Elisa also evacuated in the middle of a forest.
03:20She was accompanied by her 11-month-old daughter and 6 siblings.
03:23My father brought us here because he was afraid that the tree might fall.
03:29Because of the strong wind.
03:33The strong wind accompanied the heavy rain on the last day of the storm,
03:37before the city of Ilagan caught fire.
03:41The wind was almost as strong as that of a resident.
03:45The residents near the river in the barangay of San Vicente
03:49are temporarily staying at the community center.
03:52Like Rose Marina and her seven children,
03:54they have been in the evacuation center for four days.
03:56It's very difficult because there are children.
03:59Especially when the storm comes one after another.
04:03Maileen's situation is also the same.
04:05She was accompanied by her children and nephews.
04:07We are able to endure the hardship of life here during the evacuation
04:13because the water level in our house is high.
04:17Because of the heavy rain that hit Nica,
04:20almost 50 houses were affected.
04:22That's why the residents were not allowed to go home.
04:24The residents in our barangay are living with life materials.
04:29And our part is a lower part.
04:31We are a flooded-prone barangay.
04:33Currently, there are more than 300 families in the evacuation center in the entire city of Ilagan,
04:38including those rescued from Alagang Baka and Calabao,
04:42which is near the Pinakanuan River.
04:44I just brought my cows here so that I can get them closer.
04:47If the river grows, I will bring them closer.
04:51I will take them for a walk.
04:57Meanwhile, the water level in Cagayan and Pinakanuan River is being closely monitored.
05:02And live from Ilagan City, Isabela,
05:05for Dioma Integrated News, I am James Agustin, your witness.
05:09James, there was also a chance of a possible storm surge within 24 hours
05:15in your place in Isabela.
05:16Did the LGU, James, have a chance to look at places that may be affected by a storm surge or other floods
05:26just to make sure that no one is affected by the forced evacuation?
05:34Yes, Pia, there are four coastal municipalities here in the province of Isabela
05:38that are usually affected by a storm surge when there is a typhoon.
05:41For example, Dibilakan, Dinapigue, Makonakon, and Palanan.
05:45And these are the coastal municipalities that are usually affected by a storm surge
05:51when there is a typhoon.
05:53In fact, when we asked Pia earlier about those coastal municipalities,
05:57the residents were already evacuated yesterday, Pia.
06:00Alright, you are really prepared and careful.
06:03Thank you very much, James Agustin.
06:06And it seems like there is no rest for those affected by the typhoon Marse in Ilocos Norte.
06:11Some of them went back to the evacuation center because of the typhoon Ophel.
06:15And from Pagudpud, Saksi Live, this is Darlene Cai.
06:19Darlene?
06:24Pia, the wind and rain that we are experiencing here in Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte,
06:30where the signal number 3 was raised earlier,
06:33the residents were already evacuated from a low-lying area and stayed near the sea.
06:42It was a dark and rainy season that we experienced in Ilocos Norte past 11 o'clock this morning.
06:47The situation is the same in different parts of the province because of the typhoon Ophel.
06:51In many places, the effects of typhoons are still being predicted.
06:55One of them is the seawall of Barangay Poblacion 1 in Pinakanapinsala in Pagudpud.
07:00This is the old road that I was building.
07:02But when the typhoon Marse hit, you can see that the road was damaged.
07:07The cement was crushed.
07:08Even the seawall here in Barangay Poblacion 1 was also destroyed.
07:13One of the residents of Pagudpud was affected by the typhoon Jocelyn.
07:18The 60-year-old house where she grew up was destroyed after the typhoon Marse destroyed it.
07:24Now, they are preparing for the typhoon Ophel.
07:27It's hard, ma'am. It's really hard. The house is gone.
07:31It's really hard, ma'am.
07:33We are asking for help.
07:37Please help us, ma'am.
07:39Please help us, ma'am.
07:42Please help us, ma'am.
07:44I'm begging you, ma'am.
07:50The typhoon Marse did not save the elementary school where they grew up.
07:55The reading centers and clinics were destroyed.
07:57Even other parts of the school were also hit by the typhoon.
08:01My heart is broken.
08:03All the children go to school here.
08:09After the typhoon Marse, the students were not able to go to school because it was not safe.
08:15The students of Pasaling Elementary School were not able to go to school for two weeks.
08:20That's why they were given mojo.
08:22Marse is strong, ma'am.
08:24They said that Ophel is stronger.
08:27What we are afraid of is that our school will be destroyed, ma'am.
08:33What can we do, ma'am? Of course, we feel sorry for the children.
08:36The State of Calamity was not recovered from the typhoon Marse.
08:41The problem is that the Calamity Fund is gone.
08:44There were promises and funds given by various agencies and high officials.
08:53What we are waiting for is the implementation of rehabilitation for us.
09:02Our mayor is talking to the high officials to give us additional funds.
09:11DRRMO Police, Barangay and EFB Personnel are helping to evacuate the people living by the sea.
09:17Everyone who has been evacuated, please go to the emergency apartment.
09:24This is the location of the local government building of Pagunpon.
09:28But the municipality still needs to look for other safe evacuation centers that are not affected by the recent typhoons.
09:35The typhoon will not reach us because there is no power.
09:39In Calacao, Pangasinan, the officials of Barangay Lasip, which is one of the barangay houses there,
09:44some residents are raising their belongings.
09:49In Bandaron, the typhoon hit us in Pusud.
09:53The amount of water in Maruse River is also being monitored.
10:01The provincial government of Ilocos Norte remains alert.
10:05Aside from Pagunpon, residents are also evacuating to the towns of Adams and Bacarapia.
10:13You mentioned the residents who are still in the evacuation center, those who returned to the evacuation center.
10:19If the residents stay in the evacuation center, one of the things that should be taken care of is spreading the disease.
10:25Is there anything that the LGU is doing to make sure that this will not happen?
10:33That is one of the things that the MDRRMO and other LGU officials are monitoring here in Pagunpon.
10:40So that what you are saying about spreading the disease will not happen,
10:45there will be proper physical distancing and they are making sure that the residents in the evacuation center will not be infected.
10:53Alright, thank you very much, Darlene Cai.
10:57In other news, despite the tension and anxiety of former President Rodrigo Duterte in the former Senate,
11:02former Senators Antonio Trillanes IV and Laila de Lima,
11:06the lead chair of the Quadcom said that there was a calm and orderly hearing overall.
11:11In the hearing, the former President said that he has conditions to sign a waiver in his bank accounts.
11:17Witness, Sandra Aguinaldo.
11:22After all, former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV,
11:26these are the bank transactions that are trying to control Duterte in illegal drugs.
11:31So the total of the credits that went in is 2.4 billion.
11:36That's the smoking gun of proceeds of the illegal drug trade of the Duterte crime family.
11:43And the signing of the bank secrecy waiver in the former President.
11:48If there is only one truth, I will resign and I will ask my daughter to resign and everybody in the family.
11:58That is my guarantee and I will hang myself.
12:03What happened was probably the hottest meeting in the Quadcom hearing yesterday.
12:08Will the former President be okay that if we draft the waiver now, that it be signed today instead of tomorrow?
12:15What is the alternative, sir?
12:17No.
12:19I will slap him in public.
12:21No.
12:23There is no such thing.
12:25I will slap him in public.
12:29Session suspended.
12:37In another corner, Trillanes said something before he slapped Duterte that he will be slapped by a microphone.
12:45I will slap him in public.
12:47Session suspended.
12:52Session suspended.
12:59Please observe proper decorum.
13:02We are in a committee hearing.
13:05We have already stressed from the very beginning that the proper rules, decorum will be implemented regardless of who you are.
13:18Sorry.
13:20In the continuation of the hearing, the matter of the waiver has been raised several times.
13:25Duterte was asked if he will really sign it or if there is a condition.
13:29I have to ask my wife to appear here and to ask her if she is ready to waive the bank secrecy law.
13:39It's a joint account. So I had it back on my mind about my wife.
13:45But Trillanes was stubborn.
13:46Just for the record, it's a joint account between Duterte and Vice President Sara Duterte.
13:55So they are not the wife.
13:58That's what we got.
14:01And just like what I anticipated earlier, Mr. Chairman, that when he said that he's willing to sign a waiver, it's the same thing.
14:12It's always a bluff.
14:13Okay. I will allow it. You can slap me, but first sign the waiver.
14:20Just to maintain decorum on this proceeding, and just to be fair, may we request the former senator not to provoke any resource persons because that won't do any good to anyone.
14:32I apologize Mr. Chairman.
14:33Thank you very much Mr. Chairman.
14:35He will slap me. Isn't that a provocation?
14:40I didn't say that. Come on, slap me.
14:45But according to Quadcom lead chair Congressman Robert Ace Barbers, on the contrary, the hearing was calm and orderly yesterday.
14:54I'm glad that there were no expletives and foul language, although there were some.
15:00But generally, it was all calm, it was all orderly, and most of all, we were able to elicit significant information from him.
15:12That's why there was no contempt even when former President Trillanes and former Senator Laila Delima were slapped.
15:20I call it his suffering from bankruptcy indecency. It's so unprofessional. It's so unbecoming. It's vile.
15:28I'm not doing anything to him. I'm just answering questions in a very professional manner. That's his reaction.
15:41According to Quadcom, Quadcom should remind everyone to preserve the property corrum.
15:48To some people, it looks offensive.
15:51To some people, it probably will be perceived as a playful gesture of the President.
16:02We really cannot judge.
16:06But of course, the attention of the President and the other resource persons there was actually called by the chair.
16:21Let's maintain the property corrum. I think that was enough message for all.
16:27When I say it's impossible, it's a joke.
16:31But when my face changes and I bite my teeth, it means I'm angry and I want to speak.
16:42The next Quadcom hearing is on November 21.
16:46Duterte asked if he will still attend.
16:48Maybe, maybe not.
16:50Why would they call me? I don't care. He's old enough to die.
16:55According to the bank waiver, before the camera was released yesterday, the former President had a condition.
17:02If he will attend, he should not be alone.
17:06All of us, not just me. All of us. As in all of us.
17:12Who are you referring to?
17:13All of those I want to refer to. Even the one sitting in front of me.
17:18So you have a condition?
17:21Why just me? So that people can see me. That's my money.
17:32For GMA Integrated News, Sandra Rinaldo is your witness.
17:37More than 3,000 barangays will be affected by landslides and rainfalls in the next few days, according to the Mines and Geosciences Bureau.
17:47Along with the impact of the upcoming typhoon Pepito, which is expected to be a super typhoon.
17:54Our witness.
17:56This is how the rain and wind is passing through the province of Magallan.
18:02The water is not yet depleted. The typhoon Ophel is still bringing it.
18:06The impact of the upcoming typhoon Pepito is still possible.
18:10According to the forecast of Pag-asa, it is possible that there will be heavy rains.
18:15According to the Tropical Cyclone Advisory of Pag-asa, the possibility of a super typhoon is still there before it lands.
18:22The typhoon category could reach this evening until tomorrow morning.
18:28It could also rapidly intensify as it approaches the eastern Visayas and southern Luzon area.
18:36The two typhoons could affect more than 3,000 barangays, according to the data of the Mines and Geosciences Bureau.
18:44According to the agency, it is possible that they will experience landslides that will result in heavy rains.
18:52More than 1,000 affected barangays are located in northern Luzon, where the soil is soft due to the recent typhoons.
19:01It is expected that the typhoon will descend to the mainland.
19:04According to their forecast, for the next five days, the most barangays will be affected, including Batanes, Catanduanes, and Nueva Ecija.
19:11In these areas, more than two million residents could be affected.
19:16According to Metro Manila, more than 1,400 barangays could be affected, most of which are located in Manila.
19:24The MJB recommended that evacuation should be done in areas where the possibility of landslides is high.
19:31We don't have enough time to prepare for landslides.
19:37For landslides, no one can tell us that the slope will fall.
19:42If you are identified as high to very high susceptible barangay, you should enforce your preemptive evacuation.
19:51If the preemptive did not work, we should enforce the forced evacuation.
19:58Tomorrow, the preemptive evacuation will start in areas where the typhoon Pepito will pass.
20:03In all risky areas, these are the first to be advised.
20:11If they are warned and advised, they should follow it.
20:16Because when emergencies occur, the first to search and rescue are the people who follow the law.
20:30In the next five days, more than 18 million people could be affected.
20:35Almost one million of them are our poor countrymen.
20:39In the middle of the next typhoon, the budget department released P875 million,
20:45which was added to the quick response fund of the social welfare department.
20:49Half of the initial P1.75 billion for emergencies was spent on the previous typhoons.
20:55The majority of that will go to the procurement of welfare goods and the procurement as well of prepack goods.
21:06Because of the impact of the typhoon Pepito, the Gabisong Land Transportation Office
21:11avoided non-essential travel from Metro Manila and nearby areas to the Bicol Region.
21:18Travelers will also return to Visayas and Mindanao if they pass Matnog Port in Sorsogon.
21:25For GMA Integrated News, Joseph Morong, your Saksi.
21:30Two typhoons have passed in the Philippine area of responsibility.
21:35Aside from the typhoon Ophel, the typhoon Pepito entered the PAR at 8 p.m.
21:40It rose and became a severe tropical storm.
21:42Meanwhile, the typhoon Ophel really weakened as it rose to the Babuyan Islands.
21:49At 8 p.m., the last typhoon Ophel passed in the Gonzaga-Cagayan Waters.
21:55As of now, the signal number 4 is still high in the Babuyan Islands,
22:00as well as in Hilaga and Silang, the mainland of Cagaya.
22:03Signal number 3 in Batanes, the remaining part of Cagayan,
22:07Hilagang Bahagi ng Isabela, Hilagang Bahagi ng Apayaw, and Hilagang Bahagi ng Ilocos Norte.
22:13Signal number 2 in Canluran and Silangang Bahagi ng Isabela,
22:17Natitirang Bahagi ng Apayaw at Calinga,
22:20as well as in Silangang Bahagi ng Abra, Silangang Bahagi ng Mountain Province,
22:25and the remaining parts of Ilocos Norte.
22:28Signal number 1 in the remaining parts of Isabela,
22:31of Isabela, the northern part of Quirino, the northern part of Nueva Vizcaya, and the
22:35remaining part of Mountain Province, including Ifugao, the remaining part of Abra, the northern
22:41part of Benguet, as well as Ilocos Sur, the northern part of La Union, and the northern
22:46part of Aurora.
22:47And with the continued movement of the northern part of Baguio-Opel, it is possible to approach
22:53or landfall in the Baboyan Islands tonight before the northern part of Bukas, the sea
22:59of Batanes, and go to Taiwan this weekend.
23:02It is expected to continue because of the frictional effects on the land, as well as
23:08the unfavorable environment around Baguio, Luzon Strait, and the sea in the east of Taiwan.
23:14Following the appearance of former President Rodrigo Duterte in the Quad Committee, President
23:20Bongbong Marcos said that they will not stop the investigation of the International Criminal
23:24Court or ICC, but they will still not help.
23:28The Police and Justice Departments also have their own plans, according to what Duterte
23:32admitted.
23:33Here is Van Myrina.
23:38I'm asking the ICC to hurry up, and if possible, they can come here and start the investigation
23:48tomorrow.
23:50Because of the former President Rodrigo Duterte himself, the government will not stop or
23:55stop the investigation of the International Criminal Court in the Duterte Drug War, according
23:59to President Bongbong Marcos.
24:01If that is what PRRD wants, we will not stop the ICC.
24:09We will not help.
24:11But if he agrees to talk to the ICC, it is up to him.
24:19We have no decision on that.
24:22According to the Justice Department, even if the Philippines escapes from the ICC, we
24:26remain a member of the Interpol.
24:28So if the ICC passes a request to the Interpol, we are obliged to support it.
24:33Even though the Philippines is asking the Interpol to issue a red notice against a person,
24:38like the case of Negros Oriental Congressman Arnulfo Tevez.
24:41But the President said that the ICC is still talking about something else.
24:47We have obligations to Interpol and we have to live up to those obligations.
24:55We'll see.
24:56We'll see.
24:57We'll see how far it goes.
24:59We'll see what the ICC does.
25:01But aside from the ICC, the PNP and the Justice Department themselves are already pointing
25:05out Duterte's confession of killing, planting evidence, and giving evidence to the police
25:11to kill.
25:12All of the testimony that was given yesterday really will be taken in and will be assessed
25:21to see what, in legal terms, what is the real meaning and consequence of some of the statements
25:32made by PRRD.
25:33Now, if that will result in a case being filed here in the Philippines, we will just have
25:38to see.
25:40The DOJ will have to make that assessment.
25:47Very significant.
25:48According to the ICC, an investigation is underway by the Office of the Prosecutor
25:52on the crimes committed in the Philippines during the War on Drugs between November
25:562011 and March 2019.
25:58They are pointing out the events in the Philippines and are investigating if there is any connection
26:02to their investigation.
26:04For GMA Integrated News, Ivan Meyrina, your Saksi.
26:10Ken Chan, an actor, spoke about the case of Syndicated Estafa.
26:14In a post, Chan stated that he did not go around fooling people.
26:18He also did not go around asking for money, except for the accusations that were thrown
26:23at him.
26:24He added that he did not hide the case.
26:27Chan said that he chose to remain silent for the time being because he is fighting the
26:32law.
26:33Last Friday was the second time that the warrant of arrest was issued to Chan.
26:38According to the lawyer of the complainants, Chan is the one who convinced the victims to
26:43invest in a business with a 10% monthly interest.
26:47Chan will also question why Syndicated Estafa was charged.
26:51Now, the issue is just going around in the loss of the business.
26:55Chan said that he will release the details the next day.
26:58The case of Syndicated Estafa, which was charged to the actor, is non-bailable and has a
27:04life imprisonment.
27:07The sky turned pink in some parts of Bicol.
27:10The colors of red, orange, and violet became lighter as the sun set in Virac until it
27:17reached Catanduanes.
27:19According to the investigation, strange colors appear when there are too many small particles
27:24in the Himpapawid and they are illuminated by the scattered rays of the sun in what is
27:29called Rayleigh Scattering.
27:31This is only possible between sunrise and sunset.
27:36From Hello, Love Again to Hello, New Record
27:42Dua Lipas is a total favorite among Filipino fans who watched her concert last night.
27:47The movie Hello, Love Again has a record-breaking achievement on the first day.
27:53Watch Aubrey Caramper.
27:59From Hello, Love Again to Hello, New Record
28:02Because the movie is a certified blockbuster, it earned 85 million pesos in their opening yesterday.
28:10Because of that milestone, the movie got the box office record as the highest first-day
28:17grossing local film in the Philippines.
28:19Alden Richards, who acts as Ethan, has no thanks to the audience.
28:26We have no thanks to the audience, but we are thankful to the Lord and to the people
28:33who waited and watched our movie.
28:36And thank you very much because all our hard work is worth it.
28:41Speaking of Alden, he is also with the other cast of Hello, Love Again to recreate their 2019 photo.
