NewsTranscript
00:00Congressmen have been allocated P1 million pesos to teach Mary Grace Piattos.
00:06That's the name of the recipient of the Office of the Vice President's Confidential Funds in 2022.
00:13Witness, Jonathan Andal.
00:19This is one of the receipts that the OVP, or Office of the Vice President,
00:25or Commission on Audit,
00:27to explain how they spent P125,000,000 pesos in just 11 days.
00:36But the name on the receipt is hard to read by congressmen.
00:41The name would read, is it correct? Mary Grace Piattos?
00:45Piatti? Piatti?
00:47I read it as Piattos.
00:49Why the last?
00:50Why? Since the tail is too low.
00:55The serious question of congressmen is, is the recipient a real person?
01:01Now, do you think that's a real person? What's your opinion?
01:05It could be a person.
01:06But would you know that there's a restaurant named Mary Grace?
01:10Yes, Mr. Chair.
01:12And there's also a Piattos that's brown with potato chips?
01:16Yes, Mr. Chair.
01:17To confirm, congressmen worked hard to raise P1,000,000 pesos
01:24to teach the person who signed this receipt.
01:27Because what the Office of the Vice President is saying is,
01:30Mary Grace Piattos is real.
01:32We don't believe that Mary Grace Piattos is real.
01:35Mary Grace Piattos is the biggest recipient.
01:38If Mary Grace Piattos is not there,
01:40I'm sure that almost all the people there are fictitious.
01:45This is the only receipt out of the hundreds of acknowledgment receipts
01:48submitted by the OVP in Coa
01:50that in the eyes of the judges is fake or fake.
01:53Just like the receipts with different names,
01:56but it seems that only one person wrote and signed it.
01:59Because VP Sara is saying that the acknowledgment receipts
02:06that were shown in the hearing
02:11are from the Commission on Audit.
02:16And the Commission on Audit said that
02:20these are the acknowledgment receipts
02:23that were read by the Office of the Vice President.
02:25So how can you say that these are fake?
02:30We tried to listen to the comments of Vice President Sara Duterte,
02:33but she didn't respond.
02:35On Wednesday, the next hearing of the camera
02:37about the confidential funds of OVP and Depede
02:40is expected to take place.
02:41Some OVP officials are expected to attend
02:43and I will wait to see if Mary Grace Piattos will be there.
02:46For GMA Integrated News,
02:48Jonathan Andal is your witness.
02:52President Baumo Marcos promised to help
02:54those who were affected by the next typhoon in the country.
02:57At the same time, he acknowledged the sacrifice of the first responders.
03:01The witness is June Veneracion.
03:05The strong wind and rain
03:07accompanied by the strong waves in the coastal areas
03:11of Pulillo, Quezon.
03:13The storm surge reached five levels
03:16that caused flooding in several places there.
03:24After the typhoon,
03:26the affected houses were flooded.
03:28Not only in Pulillo,
03:30but also in the coastal areas.
03:33There were also partially damaged houses
03:35in the town of Buenavista.
03:37There was only a report of a minor damaged school.
03:41And then for the people,
03:43only partially and totally damaged houses
03:46because of light materials.
03:48So far, the infrastructure, roads, bridges,
03:52everything is okay.
03:54What we are waiting for is
03:56for the government to report
03:58that everything is okay.
04:00What we are waiting for is
04:02reports on damaged boats.
04:04More than 100,000 residents evacuated
04:07and returned to their homes.
04:09The dark prayer was heard.
04:12Every year, there's always something like this.
04:14We always evacuate.
04:16Every typhoon, we always go there.
04:18I hope this Christmas, there won't be a typhoon.
04:20Some fishermen also went out again
04:22to recover from the few days without income.
04:26We depend on our income
04:28every day.
04:30That's where my mother and I live.
04:32Although more than 100,000 residents evacuated,
04:35none of them were affected,
04:37injured, or lost
04:39because of the typhoon Pipito.
04:41President Bongbong Marcos
04:43promised continuous assistance
04:45to those affected.
04:47He continued to provide assistance
04:49even in isolated areas,
04:51especially food and water supply.
04:53The recovery and reconstruction
04:55of those affected by the typhoon
04:57will also begin.
04:59I hope that
05:01when Christmas comes,
05:03we, Filipinos,
05:05will remember
05:07our fellow Filipinos
05:09who are still suffering
05:11and no matter what,
05:13I hope that
05:15we will be able to
05:17share Christmas with them.
05:19I feel sorry for them
05:21because they are the ones who are suffering.
05:23The President also acknowledged
05:25the sacrifice of first responders
05:27in local governments
05:29who faced the following typhoons.
05:31The same is the case for those
05:33affected by the typhoon.
05:35All the workers
05:37who are working
05:39I'm sure that they are exhausted.
05:41I'm sure that
05:43they have done and they continue
05:45to do and work
05:47as hard as they can.
05:49I am very thankful to them.
05:51For GMA Integrated News,
05:53I am Dune Veneration,
05:55your witness.
05:57The Philippine Area of Responsibility
05:59typhoon Petito is now outside
06:01with an international name, Mani.
06:03It has no direct effect on the country.
06:05As of now,
06:07shearline, northeasterly surface
06:09wind flow, and easterlies
06:11are the ones affected by the typhoon.
06:13Localized thunderstorms
06:15are also expected.
06:17Metro weather forecast
06:19for tomorrow morning.
06:21Possible light to moderate rains
06:23in Caraga and some parts of Davao Region.
06:25Heavy rains in some parts
06:27of Zamboanga Peninsula,
06:29Barm, and Soxerget.
06:31Possible rains
06:33for tomorrow afternoon.
06:35Heavy rains in Luzon,
06:37particularly in Mimaropa and Bicol Region.
06:39Low chance of rain in Metro Manila
06:41but be prepared for
06:43possible thunderstorms.
06:45The tolls in Esitex
06:47and Montilupa-Cavite Expressway
06:49will increase.
06:51And some Noche Buena items
06:53have gone up.
06:55Witness, Mark Salazar.
06:59Christmas is here.
07:01Let's budget
07:03for Noche Buena.
07:05That's why the Department of Trade and Industry
07:07or DTI, has released
07:09a price guide.
07:11Like for jamon, queso de bola,
07:13fruit cocktail, all-purpose cream,
07:15pasta or spaghetti,
07:17macaroni, tomato sauce, and more.
07:19The bad news,
07:21for more than 200 Noche Buena items
07:23in the market, half of them
07:25have gone up
07:27compared to last year
07:29based on DTI's monitoring.
07:31There's nothing I can do. Every Christmas,
07:33I expect that the price will go up.
07:35Make do. Make do with
07:37what you can afford.
07:39That's how you reduce items,
07:41reduce the amount you cook.
07:43But not all of them
07:45went up. You have no choice.
07:47All brands went up at the same time.
07:49You have a choice.
07:51There are brands that didn't go up.
07:53For example, for Christmas ham,
07:5518 brands, classes, and weights
07:57of jamon went up.
07:59But it still has the same price
08:01of 18 last year.
08:03Queso de bola, whatever class
08:05or weight, the price didn't change.
08:07The brands of spaghetti and macaroni
08:09also went down.
08:11The price guide is effective
08:13until the end of the year.
08:15Aside from Noche Buena,
08:17prepare your pocket
08:19to pay the toll.
08:21Starting tomorrow,
08:23Subiclark-Tarlac-Expressway
08:25will implement the second
08:27increase in toll.
08:2964 centavos
08:31to almost 2 pesos per kilometer
08:33will be added depending on the type
08:35of vehicle. On Wednesday,
08:37November 20,
08:39Montinlupa-Cavite-Expressway
08:41or MCX will implement
08:43an increase in toll.
08:45Those adjustments
08:47will be considered
08:49by the government
08:51before allowing
08:53new toll fees to be collected.
08:55Those adjustments
08:57will be returned
08:59for the benefit of the motorist users
09:01by way of
09:03good service
09:05and proper
09:07operations and maintenance
09:09of our expressways.
09:11For GMA Integrated News,
09:13I am Mark Salazar,
09:15your witness.
09:17The investigation of
09:19the Department of Justice is already on fire
09:21against former President Rodrigo Duterte
09:23for the extradjudicial killings.
09:25Witness, Salima Refran.
09:31I have killed many
09:33policemen and criminals.
09:35I am the one
09:37who committed it.
09:39I will admit
09:41that my order is to
09:43kill drug manufacturers
09:45and
09:49big time
09:51drug distribution.
09:53Kill them.
09:55So you really planned this?
09:57That was part of the strategy
09:59as a mayor.
10:01He admitted it to the Quad Committee of the Camera
10:03and based on other information,
10:05Justice Secretary
10:07Jesus Crispin Rimuya said
10:09that the Department of Justice
10:11has already started the investigation
10:13against former President
10:15Rodrigo Duterte
10:17for the extradjudicial killings.
10:19The head of the task force
10:21just spoke earlier. Very, very good progress.
10:23The scope of the investigation
10:25is wide.
10:27From the time Duterte was the Mayor of Davao
10:29to his presidency
10:31and his bloody war
10:33against illegal drugs.
10:35Of course,
10:37you're talking about several laws that come into play.
10:39You have
10:41the revised penal code
10:43and other special laws.
10:45IHL, International Humanitarian Law
10:47is what we are investigating now
10:49because it is the
10:53law that the ICC is studying
10:55as well as the law that we have here.
10:57It's the law of the ICC
10:59actually. It's what they're using right now.
11:01The violations of
11:03R.A. 9851 or Philippine Act
11:05on Crimes Against International Humanitarian Law,
11:07Genocide and Crimes Against
11:09Humanity is what Duterte is fighting
11:11against.
11:13It is the body of Crimes Against Humanity
11:15that is facing the former President
11:17of the International Criminal Court or ICC.
11:19Well, we want
11:21the charges to be
11:23separate from each other.
11:25What we charge here
11:27and what the ICC charges have to be
11:29if possible, will not overlap.
11:31Because,
11:33even if we're not
11:35members of the ICC,
11:37the spirit of complementarity
11:39still applies.
11:41Duterte continues to get
11:43GMA-integrated views.
11:45His former
11:47Presidential Legal Advisor,
11:49Attorney Salvador Panelo, said,
11:51why not just eat the case
11:53for the evidence?
11:55We just cannot give you a day-to-day
11:57blow-by-blow account.
11:59But we are evaluating everything very well.
12:01For GMA-Integrated News,
12:03I'm Nima Refrang.
12:05Your sex scene.
12:07To end the sad news,
12:09one of the vocalists of the
12:11Aegis band, Mercy Sunot,
12:13was born. She is 48 years old.
12:15In a social media post,
12:17her bandmates mentioned
12:19that Mercy is behind the hit song
12:21Bukha. According to the Pinoy rock band,
12:23Mercy's voice
12:25gave joy and strength
12:27to many. This weekend,
12:29Mercy even posted
12:31to ask for prayers
12:33before undergoing lung surgery.
