00:00A sudden downpour of rain hit Metro Manila earlier this afternoon.
00:07But the result is flooding.
00:10Like gutter water in Panolocan and Taft Avenue, Corner United Nations Avenue in Manila.
00:16The Spanish Boulevard in Manila was also flooded.
00:20You can see children playing in the rain.
00:24Meanwhile, in Nia Road in Quezon City, children took a bath in the rain.
00:28It rained heavily in Metro Manila earlier due to flooding.
00:32But be careful of the heat.
00:37Good afternoon.
00:38We have a sensational news.
00:41A three-year-old girl was killed and raped in Davao Occidental.
00:48Her brother, who is 17 years old, confessed to the crime.
00:54RGL Relator of the GMA Regional Team was there.
00:59Her face was covered with blood and bruises due to the wound.
01:04In this dire situation, a three-year-old girl was found dead.
01:11She was found yesterday afternoon in Sitio Nara in Barangay Nuing,
01:15in the town of Jose Abad Santos in Davao Occidental.
01:19Her brother, who is 17 years old, was the suspect in the murder in Paslit.
01:25Based on the investigation of the police, the suspect went home drunk to their house.
01:31He took the girl and took her to Copra Dryer in Pugon.
01:35It is 40 meters away from their house.
01:38In Pugon, the culprit was discovered.
01:41Based on the report of the 10-year-old girl,
01:45the girl's cousin and her neighbor,
01:47they heard a cry.
01:50The girl said she needed help.
01:52But the girl's cousin and her mother didn't notice it.
01:57Her brother was with her.
01:59Maybe they didn't expect what happened.
02:02The suspect was arrested by a resident.
02:04He was a few meters away from the crime scene.
02:07He was in the custody of Jose Abad Santos Municipal Police Station
02:12and was charged with rape with homicide.
02:16The suspect admitted to what he did, according to the police.
02:20He raped the girl.
02:22He said it was very loud.
02:24He hit her hard on her head.
02:27I saw a small cut on her forehead.
02:32I asked the suspect if it was a cut.
02:35He said it was a small cut.
02:37Based on the results of the post-mortem examination,
02:40a laceration was seen on the victim's body.
02:43The girl was immediately buried.
02:45The GMA Regional TV is working hard
02:48to get the suspect's statement and the victim's family.
02:52For the GMA Integrated News,
02:54Ori Jill Relator of the GMA Regional TV,
02:5824 Hours has been aired.
03:02A Korean national who was shot by a riding in tandem in Manila
03:05was dead on arrival at the hospital.
03:07The CCTV also captured a woman asking for help with the victim.
03:12This is Jomar Apresto Exclusive.
03:18The CCTV footage captured the woman running
03:21from the corner of Sinagoga Street to MH Del Pilar in Malate, Manila
03:26at around 8 p.m.
03:28It was seen in the video that she was asking for help
03:31from people in a convenience store.
03:33Later, she returned to the corner.
03:39A few minutes before that,
03:40the woman saw a man with another man walking towards the corner.
03:45At the same time, there were four men riding two motorcycles.
03:50The two men immediately went down to the corner.
03:54After a few seconds, they ran back to the motorcycle
03:58and quickly escaped.
04:00It was also seen in the video that people were moving away from the scene.
04:04The two men with the woman were shot.
04:08Based on the information received by the barangay,
04:11the victim is a Korean national who lives in a condominium in the area.
04:16We received a call from a concerned citizen.
04:20They heard gunshots and saw people running.
04:27I'm not sure if there were four or five gunshots.
04:31Right here in this scene,
04:33the victim was shot by two men riding motorcycles.
04:36The victim tried to respond to the hospital,
04:38but he did not survive.
04:41In this scene,
04:42the two men were seen riding in tandem
04:44on this side of M.H. Del Pilar
04:47and went straight to the direction of Pasay City.
04:51The homicide section of the Manila Police District is holding the case.
04:55They are continuing their backtracking to catch the suspects
04:58and find out the motive of the shooting.
05:01For GMA Integrated News,
05:03Jomar Apresto was shot for 24 hours.
05:07More than 20 million pesos worth of cigarette butts were found in Davao del Sur.
05:13That's what Marisol Abdurman, an exclusive reporter, pointed out.
05:19There's a lot inside, sir.
05:21It was just arrived from Indonesia
05:24when the CIDG found cigarette butts in Davao del Sur yesterday.
05:27They inspected it and it was full of cigarette smugglers.
05:31They took it there.
05:32And they slid it here?
05:33They slid it here, yeah.
05:34This is just a backdoor, right?
05:35Yes, backdoor.
05:36Obviously.
05:37This is being repurposed.
05:38It's being repacked, rebranded,
05:40and then they put cellulose on it.
05:43The cigarette butts that were found in Davao del Sur
05:45will be transported to other places.
05:46They are worth more than 21 million pesos.
05:49It will be distributed to other parts of the Philippines.
05:53The distribution network will reach Manila.
05:57According to the CIDG,
05:58it will be sold at a low price
06:00and that's why there are cigarette butts.
06:02How cheap is it compared to the local cigarettes that we have?
06:05It's less than one-third, less than one-fourth of the price.
06:08Up to the level that it's really low
06:12and there's really no competition
06:14for the products that are paid by the police.
06:17Six suspects have been arrested
06:19and no one has been released yet
06:21while others are still being looked for.
06:24The CIDG is also investigating
06:26the possible connections of the suspects in the government.
06:30We don't deny that, actually,
06:32and we don't condone that.
06:34For GMA Integrated News,
06:37Marisol Abduraman,
06:39for Tuto, 24 Hours.
06:48A few running Senators
06:49are being explained by Comelec
06:51through campaign posters
06:53that have no connection to the right place
06:55and are not eco-friendly.
06:57Others were even sold to trees
06:59that were loved by netizens and an expert.
07:02Mark Salazar was caught red-handed.
07:11Almost a million views on Facebook
07:14is this shout-out
07:15against the distribution of campaign materials to trees.
07:20I've also seen others like this
07:22If a tree can only speak,
07:24what is their message to the candidates and supporters
07:27who posted posters on their bodies?
07:30According to native tree enthusiasts,
07:33even if they are used to it,
07:35trees are still alive
07:37and not all of them are resistant to pests.
07:39Pests.
07:40We can't see the bacteria.
07:43Once you get it,
07:45that's when the rot begins.
07:47Comelec said
07:48they have a law against this.
07:50If we don't have an environmentally sustainable election,
07:53trees are still alive.
07:55Even if you get sick,
07:58trees are still alive.
08:00It's the same thing.
08:01If we are polluted,
08:02we can put cement there
08:05as long as Comelec allows it.
08:07In Section 5, Article 3
08:09of Comelec Resolution 11111,
08:12trees are included in the prohibited
08:14possession of campaign materials.
08:16These are also prohibited
08:18in electricity posts,
08:20roads, bridges, public houses,
08:22and schools.
08:24We will disqualify it if it's not
08:26the same as the election offense
08:28of imprisonment for up to 6 years.
08:29We are not kidding here.
08:30All senatorial candidates
08:32were given notice by Comelec
08:34to remove their posters
08:36that are not in the right place
08:38and are not environment-friendly.
08:40They were not warned,
08:41but six of them were given
08:43a show-cause order
08:44because they are still not following.
08:46Aside from that...
08:47Environmental law is enforced
08:49not by Comelec but by DNR.
08:51If they have a case,
08:53if there is a law against nature,
08:55it is in the power of DNR.
08:57I will issue my memorandum
08:59to the National Task Force Baklas
09:00so that they can investigate
09:02and issue a notice.
09:03Leave the trees.
09:05Just put them in a container
09:08that is easy to remove
09:09so that the tree won't be damaged.
09:11The tree is a waste.
09:13We need trees in our lives.
09:16For GMA Integrated News,
09:18Mark Salazar,
09:20for 24 Hours.
09:22Not just a rollback,
09:24but a big-time rollback
09:26on the price of oil
09:27is expected next week.
09:29According to Unioil,
09:30it is possible to increase
09:31the price of gasoline
09:32by P2 per liter
09:34and P1 per liter of diesel.
09:37According to the Oil Industry Management Bureau
09:40of the Energy Department,
09:41some of the reasons
09:42for the expected rollback
09:43are the increase in stockpile
09:45or the impact of crude oil in America,
09:47especially the increase
09:48in the output in April
09:49of OPEC Plus members.
09:51Also, the effect of the tariff increase
09:53in America in Canada,
09:54China, and Mexico
09:55that spread the problem
09:57in Calacaran.
09:59Two injuries,
10:00several houses burned
10:01in Santa Cruz, Manila,
10:03poverty of red,
10:04because of the exploding electricity.
10:07John Merapresto was hit.
10:14This is how big the fire
10:17that the firemen are trying to put out
10:19in this part of Milagro Street
10:21in Santa Cruz, Manila
10:22past 2 o'clock in the early morning.
10:24Because of the comfort of sleep,
10:26most of the burned houses
10:28have nothing to save.
10:30Just like Jasmin,
10:31a single parent.
10:33In her story,
10:34the fire started
10:35in the middle of the room
10:36of their house.
10:37It's an ancestral home.
10:39Since it's old,
10:41the light materials
10:43on the top,
10:44the fire spread quickly.
10:47They couldn't save
10:48any important documents
10:49and equipment
10:50except for a few pieces of clothes.
10:52Her problem now is
10:53where her child will live.
10:55I don't know how to start.
10:57I just sell school supplies.
11:00Now, I don't have anything.
11:02Jasmin also said
11:04it's possible that the fire
11:06started in Katol
11:07because it's foggy in their area.
11:09Her 70-year-old aunt
11:11is the only one
11:12in their house
11:13that's under fire.
11:15Now, I'm awake
11:16because it's loud.
11:18We have a lot of things to use.
11:20But they were lucky
11:21and didn't reach
11:22their home.
11:23Many residents
11:24ran away
11:25and their pets.
11:27According to the Bureau
11:28of Fire Protection,
11:29they immediately raised
11:30the second alarm of the fire.
11:32It means that
11:33the fire won't go down
11:34to the 12 truck of firemen
11:35that Romes Punde needs.
11:37The fire lasted for almost
11:38three hours
11:39before it caught fire.
11:40Around 4.53 a.m.,
11:43two people were injured
11:45by minor injuries.
11:47According to the BFP,
11:48they were challenged
11:49by the blazing fire.
11:51But Meralco immediately
11:52stopped the supply of electricity.
11:55We have a shaman house
11:57that's involved.
11:58Three of them were totally burned.
12:01The structure is more on wooden.
12:04It is estimated that
12:05600,000 pesos
12:06is the value
12:07of the burnt furniture.
12:09The authorities
12:10already know
12:11what the fire was caused by.
12:13For GMA Integrated News,
12:15Jomar Apresto
12:17reported for 24 Hours.
12:19China has ordered
12:21Defense Secretary
12:22Gilbert Eudoro
12:23to ban
12:24the aggressive
12:25attacks of China.
12:27China said
12:28that the Philippines
12:29should not be used.
12:30And those who are fighting
12:33are like pieces in a chess game.
12:34They can easily be destroyed.
12:37According to the DFA,
12:38there is no connection
12:39between the attacks
12:40of the powerful countries.
12:42J.P. Soriano is right.
12:48Now, we can see
12:49how the Trump administration
12:50is implementing
12:52the America First
12:53Foreign Policy of America.
12:55It has allies
12:56who are in charge.
12:58But in the forum
12:59of the Strat Base Institute
13:00and the Japan Foundation,
13:01they stated
13:02that there are good signs
13:04that in the midst
13:05of President Trump's
13:06freezing of their foreign aid,
13:08some parts of their military
13:10assistance in the Philippines
13:12were still exempted.
13:31This is ongoing right now
13:33to try to rationalize
13:35U.S. foreign assistance.
13:53What if the United States
13:54signaled to its allies
13:55in Japan,
13:56South Korea, and Philippines
13:57that it is now
13:58their responsibility
14:00to handle regional security
14:02on their own?
14:03You know, one step to deal is made.
14:05And that's now your turn
14:08to take the rest
14:09of the responsibility.
14:11And that could be also
14:12mentioned to Taiwan.
14:23At the end of the day,
14:25we should be able
14:26to independently
14:27be able to defend
14:28our sovereignty.
14:37Having recognized
14:38this landscape
14:39surrounding the Japan-Philippines-
14:42U.S. partnership,
14:43it is crucial
14:44that we approach
14:46the future
14:47with foresight
14:49and collaboration.
14:59The Philippines
15:00and its allies
15:01will block
15:02China's plans
15:03to establish
15:04an air defense zone
15:05or limit
15:06freedom of flight
15:07in the South China Sea.
15:08This is the biggest threat
15:10to the security of the Philippines,
15:12the increasing aggression
15:13of China
15:14in the territories
15:15it is occupying
15:16and should be considered
15:17a global threat,
15:18especially
15:19in the future.
15:20According to
15:21Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi,
15:23the Philippines' movements
15:24in the ocean
15:25are scripted.
15:26It was written
15:27by external forces
15:29and broadcasted
15:30by Western media.
15:31And all of these
15:32aim to embarrass
15:34China.
15:36Wang Yi added,
15:37any kind of
15:38infiltration
15:39and espionage
15:40will backfire
15:41and all other
15:42activities
15:43such as
15:44chess games
15:46will disappear.
15:48Wang Yi's statement
15:49was answered
15:50by DFA Secretary
15:51Enrique Manalo.
15:52It's being cast
15:53in the light
15:54of a strategic
15:55rivalry among
15:56the big powers
15:57when actually
15:58the issue is really
15:59an issue of
16:00Philippine interests.
16:01And it's how
16:02it affects the Philippines.
16:03It has no connection
16:04to any kind of
16:05strategic rivalry
16:06among the big powers.
