NewsTranscript
00:00The two groups of youths in Cebu City were caught red-handed while they were being chased while they were being beaten by stones and sticks.
00:14The CCTV was not able to capture the two groups but according to the barangay, there were about 30 gunshots.
00:21No one was injured in the chaos that started from jealousy.
00:25According to a minor, the fight started when some of the other group's girlfriends were banding with their group.
00:34The barangay will call their parents.
00:39In June, the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte will be held after the session of the Congress.
00:45Together with the candidates, the 12 senators who will win the 2025 elections will be on trial.
00:51May I report to you, Joseph Morong.
00:55June 2, 2025.
00:57Thank you Mr. President.
00:59It's the last day of the session of the Congress.
01:01Yesterday, the Senate endorsed the articles of impeachment against Vice President Sara Duterte.
01:07Because of the break of the Congress, there will be no impeachment trial until the session returns in June.
01:14If there will be an action, it will happen on June 2, when the Senate will resume after the election.
01:25We will not be able to hasten it.
01:27On December 2024, three impeachment complaints were filed against VP Sara.
01:32Yesterday, the Senate brought forth the fourth impeachment complaint signed by 215 congressmen.
01:39If they are banging on this, maybe they don't have a basis to make it easy for us.
01:46Maybe they won't be able to do anything right after sitting on this for several months.
01:51Suddenly, they will force us and tell us, whoever is in the camera, to hurry up and take action.
01:59What are you? No, that's not the case and I will not allow it.
02:03There are many things that need to be done, such as verifying the presence of congressmen in the impeachment complaint.
02:09It should be asked in front of the Secretary-General of the Camera.
02:13The Secretary-General of the Senate will examine the signatures one by one.
02:19It is not allowed to do that.
02:21According to Escudero, if the last day of the 19th Congress is based, the impeachment trial will reach the 20th Congress.
02:29This means that the 12 senators who will win the election in May will be included in the decision of whether VP Sara is convicted or not.
02:37Senator Amy Marcos is the one who will not fight the impeachment.
02:41I was ballistic. I was really really angry.
02:44I don't want impeachment chaos. I also don't want destabilization.
02:50In May, it will be known if 11 congressmen who will be the impeachment prosecutors will be re-elected.
02:56If ever we have a new composition of the 20th Congress, then I think they will just elect a new set of prosecutors if ever.
03:03It does not stop the process.
03:06When the impeachment trial starts, VP Sara can be called.
03:10As a lawyer, VP Sara can defend herself.
03:14VP Sara has the right to waive her appearance.
03:17But if she is called and does not go, the Senate has the power to issue a subpoena.
03:23Once the pleadings and arguments are presented, it is in the hands of the senators if VP Sara will be removed from office.
03:30The senators are one by one asked to rule on each and every charge.
03:37It only requires one charge to convict her.
03:40Then she will be removed from office and be barred from any public office in our Republic.
03:46During the impeachment trial, the maximum punishment is to be removed from office and a lifetime disqualification for running for office in the government.
03:54But retired Supreme Court Associate Justice Adolfo Escuna said that one of the provisions of the 1987 Constitution, the sentence may be lower.
04:03There are instances where they also decide to impose, in case of conviction, just a censure.
04:10Yes, she can still remain in office, notwithstanding the censure or reprimand, because it is short of removal.
04:19She can also be charged with a criminal case after the trial.
04:23If VP Sara is impeached, can she be pardoned by the President?
04:27I believe the President has the power, the pardoning power, even in case of impeachment.
04:36The Constitution is silent on that.
04:39I don't think the President can reinstate an official that has been removed by impeachment.
04:47Maybe he can't.
04:49The pardon, I think, is for removing the perpetual disqualification.
04:55No, there's no pardon because it's an admin case, not a criminal case.
05:00Joseph Morong reporting for GMA Integrated News.
05:03President Marcos resigned after the impeachment of Vice President Sara Duterte.
05:33The President admitted that the Congressmen talked about the impeachment.
05:38He convinced his allies not to file an impeachment complaint against Duterte.
05:44But the President has no power to dictate not to endorse an impeachment complaint once it has been filed.
05:52He resigned on the advice of his son, Congressman Sandro Marcos.
05:56The President said that he did his duty.
06:00The President also refused to sign an impeachment complaint.
06:11Three minors were at home after their motorcycle collided with a closed van in Pangasinan.
06:17A rider hit a traffic enforcer who jumped on him.
06:24That's the spot report of CJ Turida of GMA Regional TV.
06:31Because it's a one-way road in Cagayan de Oro City,
06:34the traffic enforcer blocked the counter-flow of the motorcycle.
06:38The rider got off, but he suddenly hit the enforcer.
06:42The woman in the van tried to stop the rider, but the rider didn't listen.
06:47The rider even smashed his helmet.
06:49The rider hit the road before the police responded.
06:53According to the Roads and Traffic Administration,
06:57the RTA is ready to file a case against their office.
07:00But it depends on the enforcer.
07:03The rider is still trying to get a statement,
07:05adding that he wants to talk to the RTA office.
07:12The rider is critical and is not in the 20th place because of the collision.
07:17He hit another motorcycle in Katanawan, Quezon.
07:22The rider was hit by an ambulance.
07:26He is in critical condition.
07:28The investigation continues.
07:31This motorcycle was burned after a closed van collided with it in Santa Barbara, Pangasinan.
07:38Three minors who were riding the motorcycle were killed.
07:41They were just rescued from their relatives.
07:44The rider has no license.
07:46According to the investigation,
07:47the motorcycle collided because a closed van stole its lane.
07:51The closed van driver has yet to file a case.
07:55CJ Torrida of GMA Regional TV is reporting for GMA Integrated News.
08:03Banks are asking for enough time to adjust
08:06if the Zero Transfer Fee Policy of the Central Bank of the Philippines will be implemented this year.
08:13According to the BSP, it is expected to take two years
08:16to prepare a plan to remove up to Php 600 from each electronic money transfer if the bank changes its policy.
08:25Last year, it was announced that it will be free of charge for some transactions.
08:30The BSP will give time to adjust.
08:35Like a motorcade of a ride-hailing app that caused heavy traffic in Quintana Rizal,
08:40the LTO is investigating.
08:42They were the first to ask for compensation.
08:44But they are still being explained.
08:47Php 2.7 billion worth of shabu was found hidden in boxes of pasta from Pakistan.
08:53Five consular brokers and consignees were arrested.
08:56They will be fined.
08:57The PNP chief, Rommel Francisco Marvil,
08:59who is supposed to retire tomorrow,
09:01will remain in office for four months until June.
09:05He will be out of office on the day of the election.
09:09John Consulta is reporting for GMA Integrated News.
09:27English-Only Policy
09:31The English-Only Policy was discussed online.
09:35It was implemented by the University of Cabuyao in Laguna last Monday.
09:40On their social media page,
09:42the PNP said that their students should be globally competitive and world-class.
09:49That's why they are now one of the English-speaking campuses.
09:53All transactions or engagements of officials, students, employees, or anyone from the university
10:00should be in English and for strict compliance.
10:04The announcement is no longer on their social media page.
10:08Is that why the students are favoring the English-Only Policy?
10:13It's a favor.
10:14It enhances our skills to speak English fluently.
10:19So that we can develop professionally.
10:23It should be specific.
10:24There should be strict compliance when using English.
10:29Because sometimes, when we are in a discussion,
10:33we are not fluent in English.
10:37Because English is not our first language.
10:43Maybe they will revise the policy that I will implement.
10:49The group, Gabriela Youth, said,
10:51English-Only? No way!
10:54It's up to them.
10:56And an indication of how bad the violation of the foreign policy is.
11:01They said,
11:02The English-Only Policy is not an answer to the growing crisis in the quality of education in the country.
11:08Instead of being like a robot that can speak English fluently,
11:11the students should be taught to be critical thinkers
11:15and to have sufficient funds for education.
11:20According to the Commission on Higher Education Chairman, Prospero Devera III,
11:24he talked to the President of the Government of Cabuyao
11:27to understand the basis and intention of the English-Only Policy.
11:33He also asked him to explain and clarify the issue.
11:38He said,
11:39It is not a violation that they will continue the English-Only Policy on the side of the students.
11:45This is a program just to raise the level of English proficiency in the campus.
11:51There is a study that was done.
11:54There is a declining English proficiency in our senior high schools.
11:59Their President also clarified about the policy.
12:04Actually, I did not launch the English-Only Policy.
12:11I launched the program for the Pamantasan of Cabuyao to be an English-speaking campus.
12:19Ian Cruz reporting for GMA Integrated News.
12:23The announcement of Blackpink's Hot Topic in X was a big hit.
12:27There are still no details about the 2025 World Tour,
12:31but the blinks are already manifesting Blackpink in our area.
12:38Ilonggo Girl star Jillian Ward achieved a good deed
12:43at the hospital where they are taping the series.
12:47She visited the hospital where the series is being taped.
12:51She visited a grandmother with cervical cancer.
12:55I'm so happy.
13:01Thank God.
13:04My last memory with my grandmother is that I gave her oranges.
13:08I can't do it for her anymore.
13:13I can only do it for other people.
13:15Jill is such a blessing, not just to the cast, but to other people.
13:20Meet Your Garden star Barbie Shu is now in Taiwan.
13:25In a statement given to the media,
13:27Barbie's family did not organize a farewell ceremony,
13:32but they expressed their gratitude to everyone who loves and supports them.
