00:00Good evening, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
00:04The police have arrested the truck driver who became a target
00:08of a fierce rumble of cars and motorcycles in Quezon City last night.
00:13Four people were injured in the crash.
00:15The truck driver lost control of the brakes,
00:17while 30 other people were injured.
00:19Aside from the driver, the Transportation Department will also explain
00:24the owner of the truck.
00:25Why did the police arrest him?
00:30Last night, in the Aurora Flyover northbound lane,
00:33the cars and motorcycles were rumbling
00:36and the windows were broken,
00:38while the sirens of ambulances were ringing
00:41to respond to the victims.
00:43At 6.55 p.m. last night,
00:45a truck hit the cars and motorcycles trapped in the traffic
00:49when it lost control of the brakes during the flyover.
00:52Four motorcycles were killed,
00:55three men and one woman,
00:57while 30 people were injured.
00:59This is a passenger vehicle.
01:01I'm pregnant.
01:04I'm just arriving here.
01:06I'm already pregnant.
01:10My wife,
01:12her hips,
01:14she saved my baby.
01:16So she was the one who was hit.
01:18Randy Hong is one of the riders who was hit by the truck.
01:22It was fast.
01:23It really hit me.
01:24It was like it really lost control.
01:26But there was no horn.
01:28It was straight.
01:29The driver of the truck is now under the custody of Traffic Sector 3.
01:33He was also put under a drug test.
01:35He was not forced to run away.
01:37I was just scared because I might get arrested.
01:42So I went to my wife's house to go with her.
01:46When we were about to go,
01:48we were about to leave the house
01:50when the police arrived.
01:52He was already drunk during the flyover
01:54when he felt that the truck's brakes were not working.
01:57There were a lot of motorcycles.
01:59I wanted to go to the side
02:01because the gutter of the flyover was here.
02:05So I could stop.
02:06When I went to the side,
02:07I was already hit.
02:08I was hit by the L300.
02:10The rear part of the L300 was broken
02:13due to the impact.
02:14It was parked under the Aurora flyover
02:17and three other vehicles
02:19and 16 motorcycles.
02:21It will be investigated
02:23if the truck's brakes were broken.
02:26We will conduct an investigation
02:28regarding the technical problem of the vehicle.
02:31The husband of one of the dead riders
02:33did not have an interview.
02:35He went to the detention cell
02:37but did not say anything to the truck driver.
02:39The accident left a deep trauma
02:41on the rider, Randy.
02:43I don't want to ride anymore.
02:45I'm scared.
02:48The truck driver is facing multiple damages
02:51to properties and multiple physical injuries.
02:54But Captain Cabigon explained,
02:56it depends if the victims will file a complaint
02:59within 36 hours.
03:01It is under the control of the complainant
03:04if they want to file a complaint or not.
03:06It took six hours
03:07before the road was reopened.
03:09Meanwhile, the Department of Transportation
03:11issued a show-cause order
03:13for the driver,
03:14even if he is the owner of the truck,
03:16to investigate if there is an answer to this.
03:18The owner will explain
03:20why this should not be faced
03:21with an administrative complaint
03:23and why the driver should not revoke
03:25his license and file a reckless driving complaint.
03:28For GMA Integrated News,
03:30Mackie Pulido, 24 Hours.
03:34Makabayan Block is now starting
03:36to look for signatures
03:38of lawmakers
03:39to endorse their impeachment complaint
03:42against Vice President Sara Duterte.
03:44They want to get
03:46106 signatures
03:48or more than one-third
03:50of the current members of the House
03:52to the House of Representatives
03:54so that it can be directed to the plenary
03:56and be transmitted to the Senate.
03:58Tina Pangino-Perez has the story.
04:03Congressmen are now looking for signatures
04:06of the Makabayan Block in the House of Representatives
04:08for the impeachment of Vice President Sara Duterte.
04:11Earlier this morning,
04:13ACT Teachers Party List Representative
04:15Franz Castro posted
04:17in their group chat,
04:19a copy of the impeachment complaint
04:21filed by more than 70 ordinary citizens
04:24and endorsed by the Makabayan Block.
04:27We will give a copy
04:29to our colleagues
04:31through our GC
04:35so that they can study.
04:37On Monday,
04:39if they read it
04:41and they agree
04:43and want to endorse,
04:45they can sign
04:47the form we gave.
04:49106 is the target of the Makabayan Block
04:51who wants signatures
04:53or one-third of the original number
04:55of members of the 19th Congress.
04:57But according to
04:59House Secretary General Reginald Velasco,
05:01only 103 is needed
05:03because only 307
05:05is the total number of congressmen
05:07because there are those who were elected
05:09or removed from Congress
05:11or were removed
05:13because they were placed in the Cabinet.
05:15106 is not technical.
05:17Because
05:19if they say that
05:21the dead are still included
05:23in the roll,
05:25at least we have a sure number
05:27of 106
05:29if it's totaled.
05:31Ma'am, has there been anyone so far
05:33who told you that they will sign?
05:35Not yet.
05:37It's time for the opponents
05:39of those who support impeachment
05:41because the Congress will recess
05:43from December 21
05:45until the election of 2025.
05:47If pro-impeachment
05:49got the signature of one-third
05:51of the congressmen,
05:53the complaints will not be ringed in
05:55to the Camera.
05:57It will be brought to the Senate
05:59as impeachment court.
06:01If not, the time will be wasted
06:03when the Secretary General of the Camera
06:05will transmit the impeachment complaint
06:07to the Office of the Speaker.
06:09The Speaker has 10 session days
06:11to include the complaints
06:13in the order of business of the plenary.
06:15There are 3 session days
06:17to refer the complaints
06:19to the House Committee on Justice.
06:21And before the hearing
06:23of the committee,
06:25the complaint must be checked
06:27if the complaint is sufficient
06:29in form and substance.
06:31If it's sufficient,
06:33Vice President Sara Duterte
06:35has 10 days to answer the accusations.
06:37I think it's calendar days because
06:39it's mentioned as session days.
06:41That's why I don't want to file the answer.
06:43My understanding is that it's session days.
06:45By session days, it is Monday
06:47to Wednesday only.
06:49We don't have a session on Thursday and Friday.
06:51Whatever happens,
06:53a business colleague is expecting
06:55impeachment in the Senate.
06:57I'm expecting for the worst.
06:59There will be impeachment.
07:01GMA Integrated News is trying
07:03to get the money
07:05of VP Sara.
07:07For GMA Integrated News,
07:09I'm Panganitan Perez,
07:11reporting for 24 Hours.
07:13A Chinese national
07:15is in jail while
07:17he's being treated in the stockroom
07:19of a restaurant in Pasay City.
07:21Even though he doesn't have a license,
07:23his parochial friends
07:25who work in FOGO
07:27have been arrested.
07:33In the surveillance video
07:35of NBINCR,
07:37a Chinese national
07:39is being treated.
07:41Later, he gets
07:43medicine to sell to his client.
07:45But the place of treatment
07:47is not in a clinic,
07:49but in a stockroom
07:51behind a Chinese restaurant
07:53in Pasay City.
07:57After getting the medicine,
07:59NBINCR agents
08:01entered.
08:04Different medicines
08:06with Chinese characters were confiscated
08:08while the foreign suspect
08:10who doesn't have a medical license
08:12in our country was arrested.
08:14Their customers are Chinese.
08:16Chinese in FOGO
08:18are normally undocumented aliens.
08:20In their telegram apps,
08:22they show
08:24Chinese characters.
08:26They will know that it's really Chinese.
08:28We are preparing subpoena
08:30for the owner of the restaurant
08:32to explain
08:34why he agreed
08:36to build
08:38a clinic
08:40in his storehouse.
08:42Of course, you will think
08:44it's dirty.
08:46He will do medical procedures there.
08:48When we got the subpoena,
08:50he was arrested.
08:52Are you a doctor?
08:54I am not.
08:56Are you a doctor in China?
08:58In China,
09:00I am not a doctor.
09:02I am not a doctor.
09:04The suspect is facing
09:06an illegal practice of medicine
09:08while investigating
09:10the case of the restaurant.
09:12For GMA Integrated News,
09:14John Consulta,
09:1624 Hours.
09:18Some parts of the BRP
09:20Datu Pagwaya
09:22were confiscated
09:24due to the Chinese Coast Guard
09:26bombing of the water
09:28in the drone video
09:30released by PCG and BIFAR.
09:32Aside from the so-called ship,
09:34a Chinese militia ship
09:36attempted to bomb
09:38Pagasa Island.
09:40Raffi Tima was arrested.
09:44In this clearer
09:46and detailed drone video
09:48from PCG BIFAR,
09:50we can see how the Chinese Coast Guard
09:52intended to target
09:54the BRP Datu Pagwaya's boat
09:56We can clearly see the force of the water
09:58when it hits the boat.
10:00Due to the force of the pressure,
10:02the protective cover of the boat was removed.
10:04According to the crew of the boat,
10:06if the water entered the boat,
10:08it is possible for the boat to die.
10:10It is very dangerous
10:12since they are in the middle of the sea.
10:14Fortunately, the target changed
10:16the CCG vessel.
10:18The three large tanks of the crew
10:20were hit on the back of the boat.
10:22It was repeatedly bombed
10:24These are the three industrial-grade
10:26plastic tanks that were repeatedly targeted
10:28by the Chinese Coast Guard.
10:30Here, the BIFAR crews
10:32were hit by the Filipino fishermen.
10:34It was not damaged,
10:36but its thick metal support was deformed
10:38and the plastic itself
10:40was damaged
10:42due to the force of the pressure from the water cannon.
10:44When it did not sink
10:46and the BRP Datu Pagwaya continued
10:48to run towards Scarborough,
10:50the captain of the giant Chinese ship
10:52was able to speed up
10:54to destroy the smaller BIFAR ship.
10:56The BRP Datu Pagwaya
10:58was hit by lightning
11:00up to 40 degrees
11:02due to the destruction of the CCG vessel.
11:04When it reached
11:06its home port in Orion Bataan,
11:08the crew saw the other damage
11:10of the BRP Datu Pagwaya.
11:12This protective cover of the hydraulic line
11:14of their on-board crane
11:16was cracked after being hit by the water cannon.
11:18The steel rim
11:20of the BRP Datu Pagwaya
11:22was also damaged
11:24due to the force of the water cannon.
11:26Fortunately, the ship did not sink.
11:28The sister ship of the BRP Datu Matanam Taradapit
11:30that patrolled
11:32in Sandicay near Pagasa Island
11:34was also hit by a Chinese military ship
11:36on its way to Bangain.
11:38Fortunately,
11:40the BIFAR ship did not reach it.
11:42According to the agency,
11:44this is just one of the challenges
11:46that their people are facing.
11:50We can see how
11:52our personnel
11:54of the Bureau of Fisheries
11:56and Aquatic Resources
11:58are being harassed
12:00by our ships patrolling
12:02the West Philippine Sea.
12:04They are repeatedly being harassed
12:06but we can say
12:08that they are not giving up.
12:10For GMI Integrated News,
12:12Rafi Tima,
12:1424 Hours.
12:16The Philippine government
12:18officially inaugurated
12:20the Murillo Velarde
12:221734 Map,
12:24also known as Mother of All Philippine Maps.
12:26The President recognized
12:28the importance of this
12:30for our territories
12:32in the West Philippine Sea.
12:34Ivan Mayrina is here.
12:36This is the original
12:38Murillo Velarde
12:401734 Map, also known as
12:42Mother of All Philippine Maps.
12:44In a ceremony in Malacanang,
12:46Pedro Murillo Velarde
12:48inaugurated the Prilingue Casilla
12:50on behalf of the two Filipinos
12:52in 1734.
12:54It was formally transferred
12:56to the Philippine government
12:58by Mel Velasco Velarde
13:00who bought the map
13:02in an auction in London in 2014.
13:04Mr. President, your bold declaration
13:06not an inch
13:08of our territory
13:10shall ever be lost.
13:12Restore dignity
13:14to the status of the land
13:16and united the nation
13:18in sovereignty and pride.
13:20You transformed the map
13:22into a symbol of unity
13:24grounded in courage
13:26and dignity.
13:28This map is one of the evidences
13:30used by the Philippines in the arbitration case
13:32against China.
13:34One of the reasons
13:36why the UN Arbitral Tribunal
13:38of the Philippines
13:40and the 9-Line Claim of China
13:42in the South China Sea.
13:44The Murillo Velarde map in particular
13:46provided critical evidence
13:48to demonstrate that the Philippines
13:50has continuously exercised
13:52authority and jurisdiction
13:54over what is now identified
13:56as Panakot Shoal,
13:58now Scarborough Shoal,
14:00and Los Bajos de Paragua,
14:02Spratly Islands.
14:04The 2016 Arbitral Award
14:06clarified maritime entitlements
14:08under UNCLOS, reinforcing
14:10our rights over resources
14:12within our exclusive
14:14economic zone and
14:16continental shelf.
14:18China continues to deny being recognized
14:20by the Arbitral Award and one of their
14:22historical claims
14:24in the territories.
14:26The Murillo Velarde 1734 map
14:28is believed to be an important
14:30document of history.
14:32Sometimes it was a symbol of treason,
14:34but now it is a symbol of solidarity
14:36for what is ours.
14:38We not only admire the artistry
14:40of the masterpiece presented to us today,
14:42but also draw inspiration
14:44from its enduring message,
14:46the call to protect
14:48and to assert what is rightfully ours
14:50with resolve and with integrity.
14:52For GMA Integrated News,
14:54Ivan Mejrina speaking,
14:5624 Hours.
