00:00We will be together in Saksi!
00:15Before Saksi, a rider of a ride-hailing app was killed after a dump truck rolled over in Rojas Boulevard in Manila.
00:22His passenger, Dayuhan, was injured when he jumped from a motorcycle.
00:26The passenger was taken to the hospital and the driver of the dump truck, who was still unconscious, was taken into custody by the police.
00:32The tragedy of the heavy traffic on the roads in Lugang was unforgettable.
00:39More than 30 people were burned in Metro Manila since January this first week of Fire Prevention Month.
00:46Four people were burned in Marikina and Manila today.
00:51And in Davao City, 100 houses were burned.
00:54Saksi, this is Bernadette Reyes.
01:00A large fire and black smoke erupted this morning in the residents of East Santos Avenue in Barangay Concepcion Uno in Marikina City.
01:14Three people were injured.
01:16According to the relatives of the victims, the father of the family was cooking a small fire.
01:21He was cooking rice.
01:23I don't know, he was cooking for my brother.
01:26He brought his two children.
01:28They were not able to come down.
01:30His two grandchildren, my two grandchildren and the father jumped from the other roof.
01:38The victims asked for help from their neighbors, but...
01:42Maybe they can't get out because our house is very close to each other.
01:49They can't get in because the fire is very strong.
01:53I saw that the neighbors were crying.
01:57I thought someone was cooking.
01:58The fire was very strong.
02:00I did it, I woke my children up.
02:03I don't know what happened to the fire, to the ventilator, I don't know.
02:08I just saw that the fire was getting bigger.
02:13Eight houses and 13 families were affected by the fire in Barangay Concepcion Uno today.
02:18The fire was not extinguished yet, but the firefighters have an order for Fire Prevention Month.
02:24As of now, our heat index is high.
02:28We are asking our fellow countrymen to be extra careful because it is very hot.
02:34And if we are not using our stoves, especially our electric fans,
02:41we have to make sure that they are on.
02:43And we have to make sure that our lights are always switched off if we are not using them.
02:49In Tondo, Manila, an 83-year-old grandmother who was bedridden was also burned to death.
02:55Her mother, who is 83 years old, was not able to walk.
03:00A part of the house was burned down.
03:01More or less, four houses were damaged.
03:03It is estimated that it was under investigation.
03:05According to the GMA Integrated News Research,
03:08more than 500 houses were burned this year in NCR from January 1 to March 6.
03:17The fire also engulfed more than 100 houses in Davao City.
03:21Because the houses are made of light materials and are close to each other, the fire spread quickly.
03:26The houses are made of light materials and are close to each other, the fire spread quickly.
03:35According to BFP Davao, three residents were injured.
03:38The fire is still being investigated.
03:41For GMA Integrated News, I am Bernadette Reyes, your Saksi.
03:47The suspect was arrested in a series of hold-ups at convenience store groceries in Laguna.
03:51And in a store, he even pretended to send money using an e-wallet.
03:56Saksi, this is John Consulta, Exclusive.
04:04This man was found at a police hotel.
04:07He is a suspect in a hold-up in Laguna.
04:15His clothes were recovered during the hold-up, as well as his gun.
04:20One of the hold-ups, the suspect followed him to the convenience store in Binan.
04:24At first, he pretended to help the man in the store to send money to his friend's e-wallet.
04:31But when he was about to pay, instead of money, the suspect released a gun.
04:35The cash register confiscated the contents and continued to send money to the e-wallet.
04:41There were a series of hold-ups here in our convenience stores.
04:46From Santa Rosa to Binan to San Pedro.
04:52According to Binan Police, a fast and high-tech report was used to arrest the suspect.
04:58Here in the city of Binan, sir, we have an LGU-initiated emergency app.
05:03And it happened, sir, that their convenience store hold-up was installed there.
05:11We are trying to get his money for GMA Integrated News.
05:15I am John Consulta, your witness.
05:20The one who designed the Santa Maria Bridge in Isabela should be held accountable for this fall.
05:26According to President Bombo Marcos.
05:28Aside from the design of the bridge, the President also approved the reduction of the funds allocated for the project.
05:35Witness, Ian Cruz.
05:40Believe me, we will find out who is responsible.
05:44On the wrong day of the design, the funds were reduced.
05:47These are the findings of President Bombo Marcos in his inspection of the new Santa Maria Bridge in Isabela.
05:52It was given on February 27, less than a month after the opening.
05:57Who is responsible is basically who made the design.
06:00Because their design is poor.
06:02The funding was supposed to be, the project cost is 1.8 billion.
06:08So it was reduced under 1 billion to make it cheaper.
06:12The design is really weak.
06:14One of the points he pointed out was the wrong use of materials to support the bridge.
06:19Like what the TPWH said earlier, instead of a steel beam, they used a solid steel beam.
06:26This is the only suspension bridge that I have seen in the world that is not cable.
06:31And that is the one that gave the steel.
06:36If it is a cable, it should not be given.
06:39After the initial savings, the cost of the project decreased to 900 million pesos.
06:44But because the design is weak, it had to be retrofitted.
06:48That is why the cost increased to 1.2 billion pesos.
06:51Why did it have to be refitted?
06:53When the construction started, we already saw that it was moving, that it was weak.
06:57That is why it had to be refitted.
07:00So the whole process is, the whole process, the construction is okay.
07:06Up to specifications, they did it.
07:08That is the only specification that is wrong.
07:10So this is a design problem.
07:13Now, it can be spent again because the bridge needs to be refitted.
07:17And it seems that the savings were not worth it according to the President.
07:21We saved useless.
07:22Now, we will go back.
07:24We will spend a lot again.
07:26It's like we built a new bridge.
07:29According to the project manager, they did a good job on the bridge approved by the TPWH.
07:35There are some contesting.
07:37So you can't just put it there and it won't pass the quality control.
07:42One of the problems is the movement of Pier 8, which is one of the posts under the bridge.
07:49But that is included in the retrofit.
07:51A third party will review it.
07:54And they come up with the retrofitting works.
07:57It seems that there is a tilting.
07:59I can't further explain.
08:02According to the TPWH, the materials used are not substandard.
08:07As to substandard, there are tests done during construction.
08:12That is what I was told and seen.
08:15In the House of Representatives, there are resolutions that are being called for an investigation on the delivery of the bridge.
08:21According to the President, they will find out who is responsible for the wrong design of the Cabagan-Santa Maria Bridge,
08:29if it collapsed.
08:31But for now, it is important to fix the broken bridge.
08:35For GMA Integrated News, I am Ian Cruz, your witness.
08:41Twelve pilots of the F-A-50 fighter jet crashed from the crash site in Bukidnok.
08:48One of the pilots will be married this month.
08:51Witness, Chino Gaston.
08:54He has been in the service for six years.
08:56He will be married on March 15.
08:59First Lieutenant A.J. Dadulia.
09:01But that will not continue after the F-A-50 fighter jet crashed in Bukidnok on Tuesday.
09:08His plans for the family were not fulfilled.
09:12He is asking if we will sell our father's wheelchair for his wedding.
09:18After the wedding, he wants to spend a few days or maybe a week with his future wife.
09:27Because of the Bukidnok family of Dadulia,
09:30the family is thinking that he will give up his life for the mission that will support the operation against the rebels in the province.
09:38They are looking at the fact that A.J. has given up his life for the country.
09:44So, we feel a little bit sad.
09:49Dadulia's companion also joined the crashed fighter jet, Major Jude Salangoy,
09:55a veteran pilot who was with the Philippine Air Force during the pitch-black exercises in Darwin, Australia.
10:02Just a few days ago, the two pilots landed from Mt. Kalatungan
10:07after a 6-hour walk of soldiers who recovered the pilots from the crash site.
10:13The pilots were brought to a funerary in Cagayan de Oro
10:17and will fly tomorrow or on Saturday to the Villamor Air Base for the military honors.
10:23Aside from the pilots on the wing,
10:25the flight data recorder of the airplane was also recovered.
10:29The flight data recorder of the airplane was also recovered
10:32where it can be seen the speed, altitude, and condition of the airplane when it crashed.
10:38The investigation team of the Philippine Air Force also arrived in Bukidnon
10:42and went to the crash site to conduct a forensic investigation.
10:46We're going to look at all angles.
10:48Yes, you've mentioned material factor, mechanical factors, human factor.
10:55We're going to look at their medical records, their mental state records,
11:00and aside from that, environmental is also a factor.
11:05The Department of National Defense cannot say
11:08if the incident will affect the purchase of an additional 12 F-A-50 fighter jets.
11:14It's too early to tell.
11:16And so far, the F-A-50 has had a very good track record in the service.
11:21For GMA Integrated News, I'm Chino Gaston, your witness.
11:27The Department of Information and Communications Technology Secretary, Ivan John Uy,
11:31resigned from his position.
11:33The President accepted Uy's resignation according to the palace.
11:37No official reason has been given as to why Uy resigned.
11:41The officer-in-charge will take care of it while he hasn't been appointed as his replacement.
11:46We're still waiting for Uy's statement.
11:49In 2022, Uy was appointed as the first vice-president of the DICT
11:53under the administration of President Bongbong Marcos.
11:57In March, Rabies Awareness Month was observed.
12:00That's why the local government of Quezon City
12:02initiated the free vaccination and vaccination against rabies for fur babies.
12:09Witness, Emil Sumangit.
12:15Free cotton, free microchip,
12:18and free vaccination against rabies.
12:21Fur parents from the Quezon Memorial Circle were all together
12:25this Rabies Awareness Month.
12:28According to the QC Veterinary Department,
12:30in the past, the Philippines was in the top 4 in the world
12:33in the countries where rabies was spread to dogs and cats.
12:37We're now down to the 6th in the ranking,
12:40and hopefully, we'll be out of the top 10 in a few years.
12:45I hope that by 2030,
12:47we'll be able to make sure that no one will die
12:51because of rabies in dogs.
12:54Rabies is a virus that attacks the human brain
12:58and is transmitted by the bite of an infected animal.
13:03But it can also spread through fur
13:07and other forms of exposure to the fur of animals.
13:11Most rabies cases are in dogs.
13:14But it can also be transmitted to infected cats,
13:18cats, wolves, cows, horses, goats, mules, and calabash.
13:25According to the DOH,
13:26the initial symptoms of rabies in humans
13:29can be similar to the rabies in dogs.
13:31The bitten part can also be painful,
13:34or it can be numb or itchy.
13:36While the condition is getting worse,
13:38it can experience confusion, delirium,
13:41muscle weakness, or paralysis.
13:46It can also be affected by fear of water, light, or wind.
13:51It can also be affected by nausea and vomiting.
13:54According to the WHO,
13:55it usually takes 7 to 10 days for the initial symptoms to show.
13:59It can lead to cardiac and respiratory failure.
14:03As of now,
14:04rabies symptoms show no sign of improvement.
14:08According to the San Lazaro Hospital,
14:10if bitten by a dog or cat,
14:12wash and clean the wound,
14:15using water and soap,
14:16within 10 to 15 minutes.
14:19Clean and apply povidone iodine or alcohol to the wound.
14:24Do not use garlic, stone, or any traditional medicine.
14:30Consult an animal bite center immediately.
14:33Observe the bitten animal for 10 to 14 days.
14:38Rabies dogs can die within 1 to 7 days.
14:42100% of rabies dogs die.
14:4698% of rabies dogs die from unvaccinated dogs.
14:53To control rabies,
14:56let's vaccinate our dogs.
15:00For GMA Integrated News,
