00:00 [Music]
00:07 Live from the GMA Network Center, this is 24 Horas.
00:12 [Music]
00:15 Good evening, Zon Visayas and Mindanao.
00:19 [Music]
00:20 Just a week has passed since the new landslide hit Davao de Oro and Iquinasawit.
00:28 Search and rescue operations are still ongoing,
00:30 especially since more than four people are still being searched.
00:33 Not to mention that 30 people were injured.
00:36 Among them are the people of a mining company
00:40 that was supposed to be sent home from work
00:42 but the bus was hit by a landslide
00:45 and Oscar Oida was hit.
00:47 [Music]
00:51 Sir, driver?
00:51 After almost a night of darkness,
00:54 with only a few flashlights,
00:56 [Music]
01:22 it seems like the rescuers didn't give up.
01:26 Sir, I want to go home.
01:29 I don't have a home to go back to.
01:32 You know, right?
01:33 He was able to hold his breath,
01:35 especially since the body of the man was submerged for several hours.
01:40 But he still had a lot of difficulties.
01:44 They were the two bus drivers
01:46 who suddenly ran aground
01:48 in the barangay Masara in Maco, Davao de Oro last night.
01:52 The bus was hit by a landslide.
01:55 The bus ran aground.
01:58 So, Lord, help me, Lord.
02:00 Relax, sir. I don't want to get hurt.
02:02 The residents did not give up.
02:04 [Music]
02:11 But the six vehicles that were found
02:15 were not ignored.
02:17 More than four were also missing.
02:21 The tragedy of the survivors was a disaster.
02:24 Their faces and bodies were covered by the ground.
02:27 We were told to get a grimy patch
02:29 and then we'll go home.
02:30 We'll go home.
02:32 Others even had bloody faces.
02:34 The wounds were not less than three inches.
02:37 The residents tried to help.
02:40 Water.
02:42 Water.
02:43 Water.
02:44 No soldier gave up.
02:47 Maco MDR-MO was called
02:49 to bring the survivors to the hospital.
02:53 When the incident happened,
02:55 the workers were on their way home
02:57 from a market
02:58 where they were taking home the bodies of the bus.
03:02 Another bus was the first to leave
03:04 before the landslide.
03:06 It was taken to the town of Mawab.
03:08 So that night,
03:10 the bus was leaving
03:13 after the shifting.
03:14 According to the local government,
03:16 there were no signs of a landslide
03:19 and no rain when the tragedy happened.
03:23 But the next day,
03:25 the rain was almost continuous.
03:28 The trout of LPA was found.
03:30 The volume of water was thicker
03:33 because the rain was really heavy.
03:35 Might be the reason
03:37 that the water of the mountains was absorbed
03:40 because that's how it happens in landslides here.
03:43 For now, there's no sign of a landslide
03:47 in the area.
03:49 I cannot attribute it to the mining operation
03:53 because Apex Mining is a well-cared environment.
03:58 We don't know if there's a mining area there.
04:02 For GMA Integrated News,
04:03 Oscar Oida, for Tutok, 24 hours.
04:06 And now, Apex Mining has released a statement
04:12 where the two buses were working
04:15 when the landslide happened.
04:17 Apex clarified that the incident
04:18 did not happen in their mine operations area.
04:22 The landslide happened in the terminal of vehicles
04:26 that are used as service vehicles
04:28 for their people.
04:30 The mining company's operation is limited
04:34 and is now working alone
04:35 in the rescue operations of the local government.
04:38 In the last page,
04:40 62 Apex Mining employees were accounted for
04:44 and are in safe condition.
04:46 45 others are still being searched.
04:50 Authorities have reported
04:54 an American who has a lot of complaints
04:58 and even fell while being fed by a warrant.
05:01 Salima Refran is in the news.
05:04 [Music]
05:05 [Indistinct chatter]
05:22 The American, Daniel Earl Ayers,
05:25 who was hired by the Bureau of Immigration,
05:27 did not agree to the warrant for his deportation
05:29 to Taytay, Palawan.
05:31 Even though he has a family in the country,
05:33 the American was still deported
05:35 because of complaints against him.
05:37 As part of the violation of the Forestry Reform Act,
05:40 it is a serious matter that is being implemented in Palawan.
05:43 He was arrested in September 2022
05:46 because of the illegal extraction of wood
05:50 in Palawan,
05:51 the protected species of trees.
05:54 He allegedly used it for the construction of houses.
05:57 But there were still many complaints against him
06:00 so there are declarations against him.
06:03 He has been considered as an undesirable alien.
06:06 He has been tagged as a persona non grata.
06:09 During the conduct of the arrest,
06:11 this American disappeared
06:13 and spoke in expletives
06:16 against the arresting agents.
06:18 Ayers was brought to Manila
06:20 and is just waiting for his deportation
06:23 to return to America.
06:24 For JMA Integrated News,
06:27 I'm Sanima Arafran.
06:30 A congressman has already issued a statement
06:35 that will limit the use of the People's Initiative
06:38 to the simple changes in the Constitution.
06:41 But he has some points against other lawmakers.
06:45 Tina Pangniban-Pere has already made a statement.
06:47 Albay First District Representative Edsel Agman
06:53 has already issued a statement
06:55 that if there is one in the law,
06:57 it will be an enabling law for the People's Initiative.
07:00 It is stated in the statement
07:02 that the amendment will only be allowed in the P.I.
07:04 and not a revision.
07:06 An amendment if one or a simple change
07:09 and a revision if it will affect
07:11 the principle of the Constitution
07:13 or the form of the government.
07:15 It is stated in the statement
07:17 that the petition for the P.I.
07:19 will be submitted to the Commission on Elections
07:21 or COMELEC,
07:22 which has a 12% signature
07:24 for all registered voters in the country,
07:26 and 3% for each legislative district.
07:29 The signature should be made
07:31 in front of the COMELEC election officer
07:34 or his/her representative.
07:36 Representative Edsel Agman
07:38 has already joined the first reading
07:40 of the P.I.
07:42 which will be referred to the House Committee
07:44 on Constitutional Amendments.
07:46 Agman said that the law for initiatives and referendums
07:50 as stated by the Supreme Court
07:52 is not a sufficient basis for the P.I.
07:55 but the other congressmen
07:57 have the opposite opinion.
07:59 It is proven that if the Senate
08:13 does not approve the resolution
08:15 of both Houses 6
08:17 for the Constituent Assembly,
08:19 the P.I. can be considered as Plan B.
08:22 Congressmen are saying
08:32 that the Senators
08:34 do not need to rush
08:36 the deliberation of R.D.H. 6.
08:38 But the Senators should see
08:40 that the decision is urgent.
08:43 Just by mere passage of
08:45 the Economic Provision Amendments,
08:47 it does not mean that
08:49 the investors will be included immediately.
08:51 We will still make laws.
08:53 For GMA Integrated News,
08:55 Tina Panganiban Perez,
08:57 for Tutok, 24 hours.
09:00 In jail, the three illegal drugs
09:04 that were found in the separate operation
09:07 in Metro Manila and Rizal Province
09:09 were found in our exclusive collection.
09:13 At the end of this winding path
09:16 in a barangay in Tangos, Votas,
09:19 the operatives of the CIDG Detection
09:22 and Special Operations Unit
09:24 were caught by a wanted
09:26 for pushing illegal drugs.
09:28 It was not easy for the police
09:31 to arrest the suspect
09:33 because his parents
09:35 helped him to be arrested.
09:37 The suspect has been jailed several times,
09:40 but...
09:41 Are you a drug dealer?
09:42 No.
09:43 What effect did this have on you?
09:45 This is what I was doing.
09:47 I was like a bad son.
09:49 In Rodriguez Rizal,
09:52 the CIDG operated
09:54 on a wanted for pushing drugs.
09:56 We were not allowed to approach him.
10:00 I have talked to people
10:03 who are familiar with the person
10:05 who was arrested.
10:08 Later on,
10:10 the suspect went missing.
10:13 We have information that he was manicured.
10:17 When we went to his office,
10:21 he was not there at that time.
10:23 We waited for several hours.
10:25 When the troops returned,
10:28 he was there.
10:29 Maybe he was just his model.
10:31 Maybe they could do their illegal activities there.
10:37 I regret everything.
10:39 What?
10:40 Everything I did was wrong.
10:44 My life was ruined.
10:46 In Galas, Quezon City,
10:48 the CIDG also arrested a woman
10:50 who was wanted for pushing illegal drugs.
10:53 The suspect has no comment.
10:55 For GMA Integrated News,
10:57 Emil Sumangil,
10:58 for Tutok, 24 Hours.
11:00 Niel is more expensive than the electricity bill
11:03 in Metro Manila.
11:05 That's what the residents of Palawan are now demanding.
11:08 He bought it in November
11:10 and it will be more expensive in March.
11:12 That's why they are now asking for a settlement
11:14 in Congress.
11:15 Bernadette Reyes is in the lead.
11:17 What if the bill for your electricity
11:23 is doubled for the same consumption?
11:26 That's the calvary that residents and businessmen
11:29 demanded in Palawan in November
11:31 when the bill for Palawan Electric Power Station
11:34 was doubled from the previous 7 pesos.
11:39 We haven't recovered from the economy yet.
11:42 The business is growing,
11:44 but they should improve their services.
11:48 Just kidding.
11:49 Electricity in Palawan is more expensive
11:51 than in Metro Manila.
11:53 And it will increase again this March
11:55 by 2 to 3 pesos per kilowatt hour.
11:58 The power supply agreement
12:00 of Paleco and PPGI will be passed soon.
12:03 They are now planning to buy
12:05 7.2 megawatts of electricity
12:07 under the Emergency Power Supply Agreement
12:10 which has no subsidy
12:12 so they can buy electricity at a higher price.
12:15 Actually, our Emergency Power Supply Agreement
12:17 was signed on January 12
12:20 by an independent power provider
12:22 for 15 megawatts.
12:24 Paleco appealed to Congress
12:26 to return the subsidy for electricity
12:29 which was given to them
12:31 by the Energy Department
12:33 to be non-cooperative
12:35 or not connected to the country's transmission system.
12:38 The Energy Department said
12:40 that it is clear from the agreement
12:42 that if they buy electricity
12:44 under the Emergency Power Supply Agreement,
12:46 they will no longer have the right to any subsidy.
12:49 But Paleco said
12:51 that they were forced to enter the new agreement
12:54 because the ERC stopped their purchase
12:56 from the former electricity supplier
12:58 which has a subsidy.
13:00 The implementation of the Energy Regulatory Commission
13:02 was stopped in the Delta P.
13:04 GMA Integrated News is trying
13:06 to get the ERC's opinion on this.
13:09 The Energy Department said
13:11 that they will study if the policy should be changed.
13:14 Our existing policy is
13:16 non-entitlement to any form of subsidy.
13:19 We are revisiting that policy.
13:21 What should we do?
13:23 If we find that we have sufficient basis,
13:26 then the policy can be
13:28 revised, amended.
13:31 The DOE also clarified that even if Paleco is off-grid,
13:34 they have a notice here that they did not make
13:37 so they will continue to buy electricity at a higher price.
13:40 They did not conduct appropriately
13:42 the competitive selection process
13:44 when the DOE issued its advisory way back in 2019.
13:49 For GMA Integrated News,
13:51 Bernadette Reyes, 24 Hours.
13:56 Aside from the Senate,
13:58 a committee of the Chamber
14:00 appointed Pastor Apolo Quiboloy
14:02 because he did not support the hearing
14:05 that discusses issues about the SMNI.
14:08 And Jonathan Andal was chosen.
14:10 I move for the issue to be subpoenaed
14:18 to Pastor Quiboloy to appear on this committee.
14:20 So moved, Mr. Chair.
14:22 The motion of the honorable committee chair is approved.
14:28 The House Committee on Legislative Franchise
14:30 will now proceed to subpoena
14:32 Pastor Apolo Quiboloy,
14:34 the honorary chairman of SMNI
14:36 or Sunshine Media Network International.
14:38 This is after Quiboloy did not attend
14:40 the hearing earlier in the Chamber
14:42 about the bill that wants to restore
14:44 the franchise of SMNI
14:46 because of the issues that arose
14:48 such as spreading fake news,
14:50 red-tagging, and the transfer of ownership
14:52 of the company without the Congress' approval.
14:54 But what if they are still not supported
14:56 in the next hearing of Quiboloy?
14:58 After the subpoena,
15:00 if Pastor Quiboloy does not appear,
15:02 then we will be constrained to move for a contempt order.
15:07 After, if he is still not supported,
15:09 that is the warrant.
15:11 It's about time that we sit down,
15:13 we face it,
15:15 and we ask Pastor Quiboloy directly
15:19 about our questions
15:21 because this cannot be answered by the attorney.
15:24 The president of SMNI, Marlon Rosete,
15:26 also did not attend the hearing
15:28 because he felt bad,
15:30 so he submitted a medical certificate.
15:32 JMA Integrated News is also trying
15:34 to get Quiboloy's signature.
15:36 For now, SMNI is still suspended
15:38 on free TV, but the lawmakers
15:40 want it to be suspended online.
15:42 They are continuing to broadcast
15:44 SMNI shows on online platforms.
15:46 Even if it is suspended,
15:48 they do not care.
15:50 Even if we are suspended anyway,
15:52 social media is there.
15:54 What can the NTC do, Mr. Chair?
15:56 Should the NTRCB decide to endorse
15:59 that suspension order to the NTC
16:02 for suspension on other platforms,
16:05 perhaps the NTC can consider that.
16:09 Currently, we are amending our charter
16:12 to include on-demand online applications
16:16 as well as streaming applications
16:19 and other social media platforms
16:22 to be under our jurisdiction.
16:24 For JMA Integrated News,
16:26 Jonathan Andal,
16:27 "Nakatutok 24 Horas."
16:29 Even if the water level in the Shanna Reservoir
16:33 in Luzon is below normal,
16:35 the Waterton Sessionaire
16:37 does not care about the supply of water.
16:40 "Nakatutok" is Maki Pulido.
16:45 In the near future,
16:46 when El Nino is in the water,
16:48 Eleanor prays that the water
16:50 in the river does not suddenly disappear.
16:52 One day, maybe four times,
16:56 I will take a bath in the heat.
16:58 Like me, sometimes my blood pressure rises.
17:03 I need to cool down.
17:05 The Shanna Reservoir in Luzon
17:07 is below normal water level,
17:08 but the hope says that
17:09 for now, it does not worry.
17:11 The water level in the reservoir
17:13 of the Angad Dam, for example,
17:15 where the Ripon River of Metro Manila
17:17 flows, is almost 210 meters.
17:19 It is said that it is 8 meters higher
17:21 than its normal level at this time.
17:23 They will start to worry
17:25 if it is already July but there is no rain.
17:27 If we reach July without rain,
17:30 it may reach a low water level.
17:32 It may reach 180.
17:35 That is why we will monitor it.
17:37 The Water Concessionaires also claim
17:39 that there are water projects
17:41 that need to be completed.
17:42 We finished these projects earlier
17:45 so that we can maintain 24/7
17:48 even during the height of summer
17:51 or even if El Nino intensifies.
17:53 Even if the sun rises by 10%,
17:56 the water consumption in hot weather
17:58 is ready to be drained.
17:59 Under extreme conditions,
18:02 the demand for our available supply
18:04 will increase.
18:06 We said that the service interruption
18:09 should be the last option.
18:12 But what about the other dams in the province
18:14 that have a low water level?
18:16 The San Roque Dam supplies
18:19 in Pangasinan.
18:20 The Pantabangan Dam in Nueva Ecija
18:22 supplies irrigation
18:24 to rice fields and crops in Central Luzon.
18:26 The Magat Dam in Isabela
18:28 has no water from irrigation
18:31 to some rice fields.
18:32 That is why some farmers buy diesel
18:35 for water pumps
18:36 to get water from the river.
18:38 But the hope is...
18:39 The agriculture sector might be affected.
18:42 We are not sure yet.
18:44 But we can see that
18:46 the probability is high
18:48 that the far areas
18:52 in the reservoir
18:56 might suffer.
19:02 The Department of Agriculture
19:04 has not yet announced
19:05 the expected effects of El Nino.
19:08 For GMA Integrated News,
19:10 Mackie Pulido reporting for 24 Hours.
19:12 Happy Midweek, Chikahan!
19:18 One week before Valentine's,
19:21 the Noah set of their love teams
19:23 has a treat.
19:26 Let's meet them
19:28 and their new series
19:29 that will be aired soon
19:31 on Chika ni Lars Santiago.
19:34 Just in time for Valentine's Day,
19:38 the new set of Spark-A-Love teams
19:42 will be introduced
19:43 and will be filled with
19:45 the inspiration of young people.
19:48 In a press conference,
19:50 the chemistry of Mark Comasa
19:54 and Ashley Sarmiento,
19:58 and the chemistry of Bryce Eusebio
20:01 and Princess Alia will be announced.
20:04 We're really happy and thankful
20:06 and proud because
20:08 our friendship turned into this big
20:12 and it's a really big opportunity for us
20:14 to improve our career path.
20:19 I'm super excited
20:20 because for the longest time,
20:22 I've always wondered
20:23 what love teams do,
20:25 what it feels like to be in a love team.
20:26 Now, we were given management
20:28 and the opportunity to experience that
20:31 and I'm very grateful.
20:32 When they were young,
20:33 they were already together
20:35 in shows and workshops.
20:37 But now, they're adults
20:39 and they're in a love team.
20:41 What physical changes
20:43 did they see in each other?
20:45 Height.
20:47 Marko is tall.
20:49 I'm tall because
20:50 if you didn't know before,
20:52 I'm shorter than him.
20:54 Yes, I'm taller than him.
20:55 Princess is taller
20:56 because before,
20:57 we were so small
20:59 and I didn't know you're tall.
21:01 Height.
21:02 Of course, he got prettier.
21:03 Of course, he got more handsome.
21:05 He got more handsome.
21:06 And as a love team,
21:08 they have a gift
21:09 for their fans
21:11 who will be able to watch
21:14 this Thursday on TikTok.
21:17 They're also making their series
21:19 more exciting.
21:21 Marko and Ashley's
21:23 Black Rider.
21:25 Let's wait and see
21:26 how Benji and Neneng Bing's relationship
21:28 will grow.
21:30 Bryce and Princess
21:32 will start taping
21:34 in the upcoming series
21:36 Forever Young.
21:38 I'll enjoy this
21:39 because I have a passion
21:41 in playing that sport.
21:42 She's playing basketball
21:43 in the role.
