00:00Literal love hurts were the words of the couple when their love story came to an end in Bugbugan.
00:07Here's Backy Polito.
00:12This red T-shirt is covered in blisters and can't move anymore.
00:16While some women are lying in the middle of the road.
00:20One of them seems to be having a hard time getting up even though she's being helped.
00:24But it wasn't an accident that the video uploader passed by the barangay Estancia in Calibo, Aklan.
00:31This is the result of a group of friends in Bugbugan who were hurt by some of them.
00:36The root of the argument is in the topic of love.
00:40The couple was drunk and got drunk according to the police.
00:44And because of the influence of alcohol, their hair fell on the road and got hurt.
00:50No one filed a complaint and everything went smoothly.
00:54Despite their brave debate about love, they were hit by an accident and no one gave a statement.
01:00For GMA Integrated News, this is Backy Polito for 24 Hours.
01:06China has no right to stop the harassment in the West Philippine Sea as a condition
01:15for the return of the Typhoon missiles in the Philippines to America.
01:21The President did not intend to do that.
01:24The President said...
01:25I didn't expect them to and they haven't responded specifically.
01:29They've responded in general terms, saying that what they do is a lawful exercise of law enforcement and all that.
01:37But no, nothing specific on the missiles.
01:41The President said...
01:43Although China insists that what they are doing is a lawful exercise of law,
01:47nothing was mentioned about the issue of Typhoon missiles.
01:52China also did not mention anything about the reduction of tensions
01:57and the reduction of their aggressive actions in the West Philippine Sea.
02:02China has long been praising the existence of the Typhoon missile system in the Philippines from America.
02:10They also called it a threat and a danger.
02:13That is why the missile program is being called off.
02:22After the success in the movie,
02:24the TV comeback of Asia's multimedia star Alvin Richards continues.
02:29First is the big production number in All Out Sundays
02:33and another show where he is the host.
02:36Nelson Canlas is the host.
02:38Happy 31st birthday! Let's go!
02:41In time for the upcoming Valentine's Day,
02:43Alvin Richards brought joy to the fans who miss watching him perform.
02:50His comeback is this Sunday in the Sunday variety show All Out Sundays.
02:55Yes, I'm very excited.
02:57I'm very happy that we were able to perform again with my fellow Kapuso stars.
03:04It's been, I think, a year and a half since my last appearance.
03:09Spoiler alert!
03:10Another Kapuso big star will be joining him in a song and dance production.
03:16It's Heart's birthday month.
03:18So, we will celebrate together.
03:21I also have a producer with me and other AOS artists.
03:26Aside from All Out Sundays, he also has another TV comeback.
03:30He said he will take a break from acting
03:32because he will be hosting this time.
03:35I'll be a host for a show for GMA.
03:38I think we'll start grinding by March and then it will air on June.
03:42My last was Battle of the Judges and it really did well.
03:46So, now it's another new concept.
03:48Nelson Canlas, updated on Showbiz Happening.
03:52There are rules, but there is a lack of fulfillment.
03:56Despite that, one out of every three students in the Philippines is being bullied
04:01based on one study.
04:02There is also a lack of guidance counselors in the schools.
04:05Depends on Mbaki, Pulido.
04:12In an internet shop in Barangay Lagau, General Santos City,
04:15you can see five bullets flying on the computer.
04:18One of them stood up and stabbed the man behind him.
04:22The victim quickly stood up and stabbed the other one.
04:26In the police investigation, the man was arrested and stabbed.
04:30The suspect was bullied by the victim.
04:34In the internet cafe, he smelled bad.
04:37The suspect was stabbed.
04:38He believed in his vision.
04:40He saw a knife and stabbed the victim.
04:44It's been more than a decade since the anti-bullying act was passed.
04:48But until now, many young people are still being bullied.
04:51Not only physically and verbally.
04:53In the study of the Program for International Student Assessment or PISA,
04:57one out of every three students experiences bullying
05:02once a week.
05:04Based on the data, from grade 5 to grade 10,
05:06bullying prevalence is the lowest in the Philippines.
05:09But why is it still a problem in spite of the laws and the police?
05:13The lack of school staff is the main problem
05:17of the Second Congressional Commission on Education or EDCOM 2.
05:20The Anti-Bullying Committee of the school head or principal should be in charge.
05:24But in many schools, there is no principal.
05:27The guidance counselor should be of help.
05:29But there is no guidance counselor.
05:31It's worse in schools that are severely congested.
05:34It means that there are not enough adults there to supervise,
05:39to help the students and resolve the conflict.
05:41The number of cases that have not yet been resolved is already high.
05:45According to EDCOM 2 report,
05:47only 11% of the reported cases were resolved from November 2022 to July 2024.
05:54For GMA Integrated News, Mackie Pulido reporting for 24 Hours.
05:59It's like a court trial.
06:01But the judges, judges and judges are the ones who are being punished,
06:06the politicians.
06:08This is the peculiarity of an impeachment trial
06:11like the one facing Vice President Sara Duterte.
06:14The peculiarity of an impeachment trial,
06:17according to Joseph Mono.
06:22An impeachment trial is like an impeachment trial in court.
06:26But the judges are the congressmen.
06:29Instead of the judge or judge being punished,
06:31the senators will be seated in the Senate Impeachment Court.
06:34They will decide whether an impeached government official is guilty or not.
06:40When all the pleadings and the arguments are submitted and the evidence,
06:45the senators are one by one asked to rule on each and every charge.
06:52It only requires one charge to convict her,
06:55then she will be removed from office and be barred from any public office in our Republic.
07:01This is the last time that Filipinos have seen an impeachment trial
07:05In 2012, the Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato Corona was impeached.
07:10One of the former senator judges was Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago,
07:14a well-known constitutional law expert,
07:17who was also a judge before becoming a senator.
07:19In an interview in 2012, she pointed out the peculiarity of an impeachment trial.
07:25Impeachment is unique because it is a hybrid.
07:28It's a mix and match combination.
07:33Impeachment is both quasi-judicial and quasi-political.
07:39It is not a purely judicial or purely political process.
07:44So it's very, very unique and very few people are familiar with its goals and its purposes.
07:51It is not a civil case nor a criminal case.
07:54Since impeachment is not a criminal trial,
07:57the standard of proof should not be as high as proof beyond reasonable doubt
08:01because it targets the highest official of the judicial branch.
08:05The standard of proof should not be as low as substantial evidence.
08:08Certain people who claim that the standard of proof does not matter
08:12are in effect arguing that impeachment is a purely political process,
08:17which as I have already explained, is misguided.
08:19And because senators are also politicians who will be judged,
08:23they will be punished based on their consensus.
08:27The goal should be total impartiality.
08:31According to Professor Black, the remedy has to be in the conscience of each senator.
08:38Therefore, the ultimate issue is whether each senator has a conscience.
08:44And if that conscience is educated,
08:47not every little voice in your head indicates a conscience.
08:51It might indicate insanity.
08:54It all boils down to conscience, if it exists.
09:01There are instances where they also decide to impose, in case of conviction, just a censure.
09:24Yes, it should remain in place, notwithstanding the censure or reprimand
09:30because it is short of removal.
09:34The Senate has a leeway, in case of conviction.
09:38In addition, the former Integrated Bar of the Philippines, so IBP President Domingo Cayoza,
09:43can still file criminal cases if the official is impeached after the litigation.
09:49If a high government official is impeached and removed from office,
09:53it does not preclude the filing of criminal charges against that public official.
10:00After the impeachment.
10:01Santiago said that the impeachment court cannot review even the Supreme Court.
10:07Courts have no jurisdiction over the impeachment process.
10:10Congress has final responsibility for impeachment because it has the responsibility to preserve
10:16the forms and precepts of our Constitution.
10:19It is not sensible to allow the Supreme Court to review the final decision of the Senate
10:24as an impeachment case.
10:25The perspective of the legal experts is different.
10:28We talked about whether the President can pardon the impeached official.
10:32I believe the President has the power, the pardoning power, even in case of impeachment.
10:41The Constitution is silent on that.
10:45I don't think the President can reinstate an official that has been removed by impeachment.
10:53Maybe he can't.
10:55The pardon, I think, is for removing the perpetual disqualification.
11:00No, there's no pardon because it's an admin case, not a criminal case.
11:06The impeachment process is forgettable and complicated,
11:09according to the legal experts we talked to.
11:12There's a reason why it was put in our Constitution.
11:16This is a provision or a remedy for accountability.
11:20We should not forget that.
11:23This is not a provision in the politics of governance.
11:28It is about accountability of high public officials.
11:31That's why it should be faster, more expedient.
11:36Public officials are accountable at all times.
11:41At all times, it should not be interrupted simply because a new Congress is coming in.
11:48Because of the principles of accountability.
11:53Accountability remains at all times.
11:56So when it starts, it should continue.
