00:12 Big time oil price hike
00:14 will be the cause of concern for motorists
00:16 during the Easter week.
00:18 According to an oil industry source,
00:20 based on four-day trading,
00:22 the possible price increase
00:24 for every liter of gasoline
00:26 will exceed two pesos.
00:28 That's one and seventy-five cents
00:30 for diesel.
00:32 That's not far from the Energy Department's
00:34 projection of two pesos
00:36 for gasoline,
00:38 and up to one and fifty cents
00:40 for diesel and kerosene.
00:42 According to the DOE,
00:44 the price hike will have an effect
00:46 on the three oil refineries in Russia,
00:48 the reduction in crude oil exports
00:50 from Iraq,
00:52 the maintenance of the stockpile
00:54 of American oil,
00:56 the US, and China.
00:58 [Music]
01:00 There's no more obstacle to the return
01:02 of former Congressman Arnulfo Tevez Jr.
01:04 According to the Department of Justice,
01:06 the NBI chief and his men
01:08 are already in Timor-Leste
01:10 while waiting for the return
01:12 of the former mayor.
01:14 Witness, John Consulta.
01:16 [Music]
01:18 His hands are raised,
01:20 he's wearing a white T-shirt, dark shorts, and a cap
01:22 while the police surround him.
01:24 [Music]
01:26 Tevez was arrested yesterday
01:28 for a mastermind
01:30 in the murder of the Negros Oriental Governor
01:32 Roel Digamo and several others
01:34 in March 2023.
01:36 Tevez was allowed to join the arresting team.
01:38 He was put in a pickup truck
01:40 before leaving the Gulf Range
01:42 with two vehicles
01:44 with an armed backup.
01:46 This is a product
01:48 of our long-term coordination
01:50 and our work
01:52 with our counterparts here.
01:54 Just like their commitment
01:56 that we will arrest them
01:58 two hours after we landed
02:00 in Delhi, Timor.
02:02 Congressman Tevez
02:04 was already arrested
02:06 and is now under detention.
02:08 According to NBI Director Medardo Delemos,
02:10 who is currently in Timor-Leste
02:12 with the six-man team of the NBI,
02:14 even though Tevez was already arrested,
02:16 they still have a challenge
02:18 to face in Timor-Leste.
02:20 Yesterday, we were a bit troubled
02:22 by the local authorities
02:24 and their process.
02:26 But we are determined
02:28 to provide proof of life
02:30 that he was arrested
02:32 and that he is not being given
02:34 special treatment
02:36 here in Timor-Leste.
02:38 In the end,
02:40 the former judge was also arrested
02:42 while in prison
02:44 and was kept under surveillance by the Timor-Leste police.
02:46 He will remain here in Tevez
02:48 while his return is being planned.
02:50 The deportation process
02:52 in Timor-Leste usually takes 40 days.
02:54 But NBI and the Department of Justice
02:56 are hoping that
02:58 the return of the former congressman
03:00 will be faster.
03:02 NBI is also facing
03:04 President Jose Ramos Horta
03:06 for a personal thank you.
03:08 President Bongbong Marcos
03:10 also approved the assistance
03:12 of law enforcement agencies in the Philippines
03:14 and institutions abroad.
03:16 He will do everything
03:18 to help Tevez in the Philippines.
03:20 On March 4, 2023,
03:22 armed men were shot
03:24 in the middle of providing assistance
03:26 to the compound of Marigamo
03:28 in Pamplon, Negros Oriental.
03:30 Marigamo and 8 others were killed
03:32 including the two barangay officials.
03:34 Another victim was the one who was taken to the hospital.
03:36 Some of the arrested suspects
03:38 were instructed by a congressman
03:40 who ordered the killing.
03:42 Before that,
03:44 Congressman Arnie Tevez
03:46 was involved in the killing.
03:48 Formerly, the political opponents
03:50 were Marigamo and Tevez.
03:52 What motive can I have
03:54 if the governor is gone,
03:56 the vice governor will be the one
03:58 to sit.
04:00 Arnie Tevez, Andulfo
04:02 Alipi Tevez,
04:04 he's a businessman.
04:06 He buys guns.
04:08 If the area is hidden,
04:10 he buys vehicles.
04:12 He finances everything.
04:14 On March 22,
04:16 Tevez was suspended as a congressman
04:18 because he did not return to Congress
04:20 even though his travel clearance
04:22 was already expired.
04:24 In August, when he was expelled from Congress,
04:26 he was also declared a terrorist
04:28 by the Anti-Terrorism Council.
04:30 On February 2024,
04:32 Tevez was placed in the red notice of Interpol.
04:34 According to the Department of Justice,
04:36 there is no obstacle to sending Tevez home.
04:38 We will have to see
04:40 what is the most feasible,
04:42 and the safest way.
04:44 It's like a dream.
04:46 We have been praying and waiting for so long
04:48 and finally
04:50 the long wait is over.
04:52 We are all happy with what's happening.
04:54 I thought
04:56 it might be a mess.
04:58 Because of God's mercy,
05:00 we have people in the government
05:02 who have always been
05:04 true to their oath.
05:06 It's a risky thing when you run after
05:08 a criminal like Arnie.
05:10 According to Attorney Ferdinand Tapasho,
05:12 Tevez's lawyer,
05:14 he was able to talk to his client
05:16 after he was arrested.
05:18 Not because he was arrested,
05:20 he is guilty.
05:22 It's not because he violated the law
05:24 to molest his client.
05:26 It's because of the mechanisms
05:28 of the Interpol system.
05:30 Arnie Tapasho, they will just wait
05:32 for the DOJ to wake up.
05:34 Especially the cases against Tevez,
05:36 they will be investigated through the use of lies
05:38 and fake news.
05:40 For GMA Integrated News,
05:42 John Consulta, your
05:44 "Saksi".
05:46 The National Water
05:48 Resources Board has gathered
05:50 with the owners of villages and condominiums
05:52 to save on water.
05:54 According to the forecast,
05:56 the weather will be warmer after the winter
05:58 and the summer heat will start.
06:00 "Saksi", Mark Salazar.
06:02 The water is flowing
06:06 through the broken Manila River
06:08 in the canton of San Andres and Singalong
06:10 in Malate, Manila.
06:12 Some children are playing in swimming,
06:14 especially because it's too hot.
06:16 The weather forecast has been declared.
06:18 The season of the summer is over.
06:20 Today, we officially declare
06:22 the start of the Philippine summer.
06:24 The heat is on.
06:26 So, the beach outing is a game
06:28 for those who are going to the resort
06:30 in Subic Bay.
06:32 I'm so excited.
06:34 It's an adventurous go.
06:36 There's sailing, jet ski,
06:38 and island hopping for the adventurers.
06:40 Some resorts are fully booked.
06:42 We're full in the air-con rooms.
06:44 Some are still staying.
06:46 The non-air-con unit
06:48 can still walk in.
06:50 They're still welcome.
06:52 But in the middle of the fun, fun, fun,
06:54 the effects of the El Niño are still there.
06:56 With the effects of El Niño,
06:58 which is expected to continue,
07:00 we expect above
07:02 temperatures and even
07:04 drier conditions during the months
07:06 of April and May
07:08 in particular.
07:10 We could get as high as 40 degrees
07:12 in the part of Cagayan Valley region.
07:14 The recorded temperature
07:16 of the unit is different.
07:18 The heat index is also different.
07:20 The month of May is higher.
07:22 It reaches the danger level
07:24 and extreme danger level.
07:26 The extreme danger is 52 and above
07:28 degrees Celsius of heat index.
07:30 And when the heat index
07:32 is said to be at the extreme danger level,
07:34 the heat stroke is not far.
07:36 Always drink water,
07:38 bring an umbrella,
07:40 wear thin clothing.
07:42 The National Water Resources Board
07:44 has also gathered
07:46 with the owners of the village
07:48 and condominiums
07:50 to save on water
07:52 in the middle of the effects of El Niño.
07:54 Aside from checking
07:56 if their water resources
07:58 are being used,
08:00 they also need to save
08:02 rainwater and
08:04 provide maintenance
08:06 to the pools where
08:08 water needs to be replaced.
08:10 The DOLE also reminded
08:12 employers to avoid exposing
08:14 their employees to too much heat.
08:16 Aside from proper ventilation
08:18 and having a rest break,
08:20 employees should be allowed
08:22 to wear thick clothing
08:24 for the heat of the weather
08:26 and provide free water.
08:28 For GMA Integrated News,
08:30 Mark Salazar, your witness.
08:32 A police officer
08:36 is holding a person of interest
08:38 in the acid explosion
08:40 on the face of a volunteer lady guard
08:42 in Las Piñas last Sunday.
08:44 The police are now asking
08:46 the victim to prove
08:48 if the man in her custody
08:50 on March 20 is the suspect.
08:52 The victim is being taken to the hospital.
08:54 The investigation found that
08:56 before the acid explosion,
08:58 she was able to answer
09:00 a man who entered the subdivision.
09:02 Four people were arrested in Santa Rosa, Laguna
09:06 after being confiscated
09:08 by various types of weapons,
09:10 drugs, and vapes
09:12 containing marijuana oil.
09:14 Witness, Marisol Abduraman.
09:16 The CITG entered the house
09:22 of a woman in a house in the Exclusives of Division
09:24 in Santa Rosa, Laguna
09:26 where she was living with her husband
09:28 in illegal activities and with weapons
09:30 without a license.
09:32 The suspect was arrested.
09:34 The woman was previously in jail for drugs
09:36 and two other crimes.
09:38 She was also charged with high rate of gun violence
09:40 such as AK-47 and 1000,000 bullets.
09:42 The suspect said
09:44 that she was just
09:46 fond of guns.
09:48 She was just licensed.
09:50 She was in possession of unlicensed firearms.
09:52 In the area of the house,
09:58 some illegal drugs were found
10:00 such as the high grade marijuana,
10:02 shabu, and cocaine.
10:04 There were also some vapes containing marijuana oil.
10:06 The man was also using
10:08 cannabis oil as a tool
10:10 and ingredients.
10:12 It is possible that the vapes
10:14 containing marijuana oil
10:16 were from Batang Pideya in Taguig.
10:18 The suspect was wearing military uniforms
10:20 and was a reservist.
10:22 It is possible that this is considered
10:24 an illegal drug laboratory according to the CIDG
10:26 which they believe
10:28 has been operating for almost a year.
10:30 The CIDG will file
10:32 a complaint against the arrested target.
10:34 Other arrested people
10:36 will also be mentioned.
10:38 For GMA Integrated News,
10:40 Marisol Abdurahman
10:42 is your witness.
10:46 Passengers are starting to flock
10:48 to the airports and bus terminals
10:50 this last Friday
10:52 before Easter.
10:54 In the NLEX operated by
10:56 the travel agencies,
10:58 construction has been stopped
11:00 to reduce the traffic.
11:02 Our witness is Sandra Aguinaldo.
11:04 Next week, there will be holidays.
11:10 But for now,
11:12 there are passengers in Naia.
11:14 They will go to Bohol
11:16 for a religious gathering.
11:18 We will celebrate
11:20 Pan Sunday there.
11:22 Of course,
11:24 we also want to see
11:26 the beauty of Bohol.
11:28 The MIAA has prepared
11:30 the time and the amount of
11:32 flights so that it won't be delayed.
11:34 It has also prepared
11:36 in case of power interruption.
11:38 Around 2 pm earlier,
11:40 the vehicles outside
11:42 the departure area of Terminal 3
11:44 were allowed to pass
11:46 to the direction of Villamor Air Base.
11:48 But it's normal that
11:50 there are still many people
11:52 because the peak is on Wednesday.
11:54 We're anticipating above 1 million passengers.
11:56 We will be manning
11:58 our off-land help desks.
12:00 So definitely, per terminal,
12:02 we have key officials.
12:04 As much as possible,
12:06 we want to have fast queuing
12:08 so that we won't have long lines
12:10 In PITX,
12:12 in Parañaque,
12:14 the peak of passengers is expected to be on Wednesday night.
12:16 But the crowd
12:18 is already felt.
12:20 It's possible that the number of passengers
12:22 will reach 1.7 million
12:24 until March 29.
12:26 We're in a hurry to buy
12:28 the tickets. It's already early.
12:30 It's better if they travel light.
12:32 It's hard if there are many people
12:34 who will be vigilant in their surroundings.
12:36 The LTFRB has also ordered
12:38 its regional offices to inspect
12:40 the terminals
12:42 and conduct random drug testing.
12:44 A special permit was also extended
12:46 for those who will travel
12:48 until April 14.
12:50 Around 4 pm earlier,
12:52 on South Luzon Expressway,
12:54 heavy traffic was seen
12:56 on the cars going down the Skyway Southbound.
12:58 All the lines were open.
13:00 But the cars were slowing down
13:02 in the areas with
13:04 construction activity on the side of the road.
13:06 This is a normal situation
13:08 for the crowd.
13:10 On North Luzon Expressway,
13:12 all the construction was stopped
13:14 because of the expected increase of the number of drivers
13:16 of 10 percent
13:18 starting this Friday.
13:20 But the crowd is expected
13:22 to increase next week.
13:24 They added tow trucks and personnel.
13:26 We also implemented
13:28 through our Safe Trip MoSagot Ko
13:30 Motorist Assistance Program
13:32 free towing
13:34 for Class 1 vehicles until the nearest exit.
13:36 It will continue until Monday 6 am
13:38 and then it will continue
13:40 from Holy Wednesday 6 am
13:42 until Good Friday 6 am.
13:44 There was a stop operation
13:46 for all four lines of the train
13:48 from Wednesday to Sunday.
13:50 On March 27,
13:52 LRT 1 was already closed
13:54 while the reduced
13:56 operating hours for LRT 2
13:58 were on Holy Wednesday.
14:00 Normal operations for MRT 3
14:02 were on Holy Wednesday
14:04 and there were still trips for PNR.
14:06 But even if there were no
14:08 trips for MRT 3,
14:10 some stations will remain open
14:12 for passengers
14:14 to ride on the EDSA bus carousel.
14:16 On March 24,
14:18 EDSA busway will be open this Holy Week.
14:20 Regular operations of trains
14:22 will return on Monday, April 1.
14:24 For GMA Integrated News,
14:26 I'm Sandra Aguinaldo,
14:28 your witness.
14:30 [News Anchor]
14:32 [News Anchor]
14:34 challenge. The China Coast Guard ships of the Philippines are going to the Sandy Cays in the
14:40 West Philippine Sea. We successfully reached their destination but what they encountered were dead
14:49 and broken corals. J.P. Soriano is a witness. From Pagasa Island where the two research vessels
15:00 of Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources along with marine researchers of the University
15:04 of the Philippines, we are going to look at the Sandy Cays or sand bars that we are going to visit
15:09 for them to assess. But later, this China Coast Guard ship that is doing a dangerous maneuver
15:18 or dangerous maneuver, and 10 times radio challenge,
15:22 [Radio Chatter]
15:44 [Radio Chatter]
15:57 [Radio Chatter]
16:10 [Radio Chatter]
16:20 [Radio Chatter]
16:30 [Radio Chatter]
16:40 [Radio Chatter]
16:50 [Radio Chatter]
17:00 It's very unlikely that those mound of rubble are the same from those that we found underwater.
17:06 [Radio Chatter]
17:12 These reefs are not healthy anymore. When you see reefs that are lacking big fish,
17:18 typically this indicates overfishing.
17:20 [Radio Chatter]
17:42 Another lie coming from the Chinese Coast Guard. We were able to complete our marine scientific research.
17:48 [Radio Chatter]
18:08 [Radio Chatter]
18:18 [Radio Chatter]
18:32 Defense treaty, it's not an if A then B. It's not as if somehow you trip a wire and it's automatically invoked.
18:40 These are negotiations, these are discussions that our countries, our leadership, our militaries have day in day out.
18:46 And I think that what President Marcos said yesterday is exactly where the United States is on this.
18:53 The treaty has great value as a deterrent in showing that we are strong together.
19:00 It's been more than 70 years since the signing of the Mutual Defense Treaty in 1951.
19:05 In the last administration, it was called for revision, but Ambassador Carlson did not see the need for this.
19:13 [Music]
19:15 As President Marcos has said, that the Mutual Defense Treaty has stood the test of time,
19:20 that it's nimble enough to handle the situation, the current situation that we're all facing.
19:25 So I don't see a need to revise it, but certainly it is a living document
19:30 and one that we continue to address and assess through our day to day operations.
19:37 [Music]
19:38 Even though they are senior citizens, some of our countrymen still want to have an income.
19:43 That's why they were given a housing package from the government.
19:47 Witness, Bernadette Reyes.
19:49 [Music]
19:52 Are you a senior citizen but you don't want to rely on pensions?
19:56 You're retired but you still want to do business?
19:59 Some, like you, have a food cart business, became a retailer of rice or mananahi
20:04 in a program of the Labor Department and the National Commission of Senior Citizens.
20:09 From the tools like the pot for the parisan and the ingredients like noodles,
20:15 all of it will be given to senior citizens who still want to work and be productive.
20:20 It's not free because you have to pay for it.
20:24 You have to be accountable. If it goes wrong, it will be added.
20:29 Business is being adjusted to the likes and habits of senior citizens.
20:33 For example, Christina would choose to do a show case.
20:37 I enjoy cooking. There are many people in our area who like to cook.
20:46 Lola Irene can still cook kortina and pumot even at the age of 74.
20:52 I used to grow rice in Quezon City. I can still do it. I still do worship services.
20:59 Lola chose to do a food cart business when she was 78 years old in Tornina.
21:04 This is a big house for me. It will help me because I don't have any income.
21:12 They are among the 300 recipients of the livelihood package in Manila.
21:17 We want to show that if the seniors are still able to be productive,
21:22 they don't need help if they have a job.
21:25 For GMA Integrated News, Bernadette Reyes, your success.
21:30 GMA Network was recognized again for the 26th Trusted Brand Survey of Readers Digest.
21:37 In its eighth year, it was awarded the Platinum Award in the TV Network category.
21:43 It means that GMA Network is the most trusted network of Filipinos.
21:49 The award was received by GMA Senior Vice President for Corporate Strategic Planning and Business Development and Program Support, Reggie Bautista.
21:58 In its second year, the most trusted TV host for news and current affairs was recognized, Atom Araulio.
22:05 [music]
22:09 The trust of the public is very important to us because our mission is to provide public service to Filipinos.
22:20 That's why we really value and care about trust.
22:25 [music]
22:33 An inspirational woman with a heart for animals, that's Carla Avendana.
22:38 She was recognized as a star for being an advocate of the Animal Welfare Act.
22:43 Carla received the Compassion Champion Award and was also recognized as one of the Women of Influence of 2024 of Cosmopolitan Philippines.
22:53 Carla's recognition is timely, especially when it comes to issues of animal cruelty,
22:58 like the incident of killing the golden retriever, Kilua. Carla is one of the people who are being called by the justice.
23:05 Carla is ready to cross Tom Rodriguez's path.
23:10 She also has an answer to what Tom said, that she has a new love life.
23:15 It's not any of my concern anymore if we will cross paths, whether in the studio or what, guesting or whatever.
23:26 I'm prepared for that, but I'll just be myself. I'll let him be.
23:32 [music]
23:41 This National Women's Month, a woman from Puerto Pampanga is doing a great job.
23:47 She will pursue her dream. We call it success.
23:53 [music]
23:56 Lady Anne Duya was blessed to receive a scholarship and attend a college when she was just a child.
24:05 She has seven siblings and her parents raised her to be a vegetable farmer.
24:11 Her hard work and intelligence paid off.
24:14 She was the first female member of the non-passing Criminologist Licensure Examination in the country.
