00:00Live from the GMA Network Center, the 20th episode of 24 Horas.
01:00A bus was found on the road.
01:02It left the residents of Sitio Ayaga, Barangay Lukban, in Abulug, Cagayan, around 12 o'clock this morning.
01:15The collision was followed by the collision of a pickup truck and a passenger bus.
01:20Due to the impact, the bus hit the wall and the windshield broke.
01:25Another pickup truck hit the wall.
01:32According to the chief of the Abulug Police,
01:35the 14 passengers who were in the pickup truck were sent home from Lamay, Apayaw.
01:44Unfortunately, 11 of them were injured.
01:47The youngest was 11 months and 1 years old.
01:51The driver of the pickup truck and two children were saved.
01:56The driver of the bus was also injured, as well as the driver and several passengers.
02:01According to the chief of the Abulug Police,
02:04the 14 passengers who were in the pickup truck were sent home from Lamay, Apayaw.
02:22We think that both of them committed a mistake.
02:26The families of the injured were very saddened.
02:30Ronalyn, who lost her child, said that she cannot accept what happened.
02:35Yesterday, my daughter and I were just friends.
02:38A while ago, she was already here, ma'am.
02:41I didn't accept it. I haven't seen her yet.
02:43Ma'am, I don't want to.
02:44I can't see my daughter like that.
02:46That's what happened to her.
02:48They asked the bus company to help them with their expenses in Burol and Libing.
02:55Please help us, especially their relatives, ma'am.
02:58Until they reach Libing, ma'am.
03:02The police investigated the incident.
03:05While facing reckless imprudence resulting to homicide and damage to property,
03:11the driver of the bus.
03:13We are preparing the witnesses for inquest proceedings
03:19for filing a case against the driver of the bus.
03:28Vicky Nadam, a woman who was injured, was at the stall where the incident took place.
03:34Meanwhile, the driver of the passenger bus is under hospital arrest.
03:40Meanwhile, 11 people were taken to a funeral home in the town of Balesteros
03:45before they were taken home by their relatives in the town of Alacapan.
03:49From here in Bulog, Cagayan, Vicky.
03:52Thank you very much, Ivy Hernando of GMA Regional TV.
03:57The four construction workers in their house in Antipolo, Rizal, were buried alive.
04:04And Maki Pulido was able to talk.
04:11Around 3.30 p.m. yesterday,
04:13the ground in the upper part of this dam collapsed
04:17in Fairmount Hills Subdivision, Antipolo City.
04:20At that time, there were construction workers who were digging under the dam.
04:24That's why four of them were buried alive.
04:27The rescuers of Antipolo City immediately rescued two of the construction workers
04:32because only half of their bodies were buried.
04:36Meanwhile, another construction worker was able to escape when the ground collapsed.
04:40The use of backhoe was careful because there could be another collapse.
04:45That's why the digging was done manually until all the victims were rescued.
04:50Antipolo LGU stopped the construction of the two-story residential building
04:55while it was being investigated.
04:57But just now, they saw a possible lack of a contractor.
05:02The ground is loose.
05:05The excavation methodology should have safety standards.
05:13Since the ground is loose,
05:16when we dig, we should put a retaining wall to protect the other parts.
05:26Marlita Macalindong's youngest son is one of the victims.
05:30Her son, Fernando, told us that he was digging under the dam.
05:36At that time, I thought that I shouldn't go inside.
05:39But I couldn't do anything because he was the one who supported us.
05:43He was thinking about us if he couldn't find a job.
05:47Marlita doesn't know who will help her now.
05:51If it's medicine, maintenance, expenses, everyday.
05:55I told her not to worry, I'll take care of it.
05:59He's a good boy. I can't say anything bad about him.
06:02That's why I couldn't find him.
06:04Nanet can't get rid of the last moments of her husband, Edgar.
06:09I was thinking that while he was suffering under the ground,
06:13he called me and asked me to help him.
06:15That's what I was thinking.
06:17Because I know that he was really suffering under the ground.
06:22According to Antipolo LGU, there is a building permit for the construction of a house.
06:26But what they are demanding to get the permit is the structure of the house.
06:32That's why it's possible that Antipolo LGU asked for a plan
06:36on how to build the house before giving the permit.
06:40We are also trying to get the permission to build a house.
06:44For GMA Integrated News, Mackie Pulido reporting for 24 Hours.
06:49The PNP is now studying to increase the 10 million pesos
06:55that can be given to Pastor Apolo Q. Buloy
06:58who has an arrest warrant for child abuse and human trafficking cases.
07:03In the midst of the increase,
07:05the tips of where the pastor is located are being monitored.
07:08Jun Veneracion is on the case.
07:12It's only been a few days since Pastor Apolo Q. Buloy received a reward of 10 million pesos
07:19and 1 million pesos to arrest his accomplices.
07:24The PNP is receiving a lot of information.
07:27But the tips that are included in the PNP's hotline need to be monitored carefully.
07:32There might be a place where our investigators and operatives will be called
07:38and that is why we are carefully validating the information.
07:43The PNP said that the 10 million pesos from private individuals
07:46could be added.
07:49The PNP is thinking of issuing a reward with respect to this case
07:56but it needs to go through the process in terms of auditing,
08:00in terms of budgetary rules and guidelines.
08:05The PNP is also verifying if the information that Buloy is in China is true.
08:11But because of now, there are indications that Buloy has not yet left the country.
08:17The PNP's manhunt operation is still ongoing.
08:20He also has resources. He also has supporters.
08:25That is why our appeal to Pastor Apolo Q. Buloy and the other 50 accused
08:31Let us spare particularly those, particularly our supporters, our loved ones.
08:37GMI Integrated News is still trying to get a copy of Buloy's camp.
08:42For GMI Integrated News, Jun Veneracion, 24 Horas.
08:48It's 6 o'clock in the morning in the heavy rain and flood in Llanos del Sur and Maguindanao del Norte.
08:54It's also raining in Metro Manila that's why there are stranded.
08:57Joseph Moro was there.
09:03In the midst of the heavy rain, some places in the town of Tantangan in South Cotabato were flooded.
09:08The house is submerged. The rain is heavy. The flood is heavy here.
09:13Some residents were able to lift their belongings because of the water that entered their house.
09:18In some places in the barangay population, the water has reached its limit.
09:22It's still raining.
09:24Because of the flood, there is no life to be found.
09:27The two minors in Balabagan, Llanos del Sur are repeatedly missing.
09:33Aside from this, they were found near the town of Capatagan.
09:37At this time, we learned that the boat has been retrieved.
09:45According to Llanos del Sur PDRMO, more than 3,000 families from four towns were affected by the flood.
09:53The flash floods in Matanog, Maguinalao del Norte left a huge mess.
09:57Trees fell and the house was destroyed.
10:01According to the mayor, a woman was repeatedly drowned while two of the four missing children were found dead.
10:08According to the mayor, the water from the Kibuan River and Tibawan River collided with the high tide.
10:15The sea there is not far away.
10:18Because of the rain, it became difficult for some motorists to travel on this road in Davao City.
10:24Not only in the southern part of the country experienced heavy rain, but also in Ilocos Norte, like in the town of Sarat.
10:31The rain is also strong in Manila.
10:33On Espana Boulevard, up to 20, there was heavy rain earlier this morning.
10:37Some motorists were stranded.
10:39Abad Santos and Solly also flooded in the canton of Tondo, Manila.
10:42Almost no vehicles could pass, so others just walked.
10:46According to Pagasa, an Intertropical Convergence Zone flooded Mindanao.
10:50Localized thunderstorms were experienced in Metro Manila.
10:54For GMA Integrated News, Joseph Morong, 24 Hours.
11:00A senator mentioned the possible connection between the illegal floods
11:05and the personalities involved in the formerly scandal.
11:09The former presidential economic advisor of the previous administration is also included.
11:14And Ma'am Gonzales was able to talk.
11:20In the Senate hearing yesterday regarding the illegal floods,
11:23the name of Michael Yang, the former presidential economic advisor,
11:28who was involved in the formerly scandal, was mentioned several times.
11:31Yang is connected to a Gerald Cruz, according to Senator Risa Contiveros.
11:36Cruz is an incorporator of BrickHearts Technologies,
11:39a flood company that used to operate in Cavite, but the license is now cancelled.
11:43Some documents of BrickHearts were found in Pogo's raid in Bamban, Tarlac.
11:48Of the seven incorporators, four are from Davao.
11:52But what I'm really interested in is this man, Gerald T. Cruz.
12:00He is also connected to Farmalee,
12:03along with Huang Tzu-Yen, who was involved in a large money laundering case in Taiwan,
12:10and with Alan Lim.
12:13Alan Lim is Lin Wei-Song,
12:16who is also connected to the issue of Shabu's rise in the country.
12:24Have these connections been noted by PAGCOR?
12:28His personality is involved in the Farmalee issue,
12:34and it has been noted by us.
12:38In the investigation of the Senate on the rise of overpriced COVID supplies
12:42that the government bought from Farmalee,
12:44Cruz's name came out as the corporate secretary of Farmalee Biological Company.
12:49Cruz is also the corporate secretary of the Philippine Fulwin Group of Companies,
12:53where Yang is the president.
12:54Honteveros said that Farmalee Group is also behind the Pogos
12:58because their personalities are the same.
13:01While we are following this investigation against the Pogos,
13:05and the connection between Gerald Cruz and Michael Yang came out,
13:11let's see where the evidence will lead us
13:13if this time around, the dotted lines will connect to Duterte.
13:19PAGCOR said that their name is on the radar, but...
13:23We don't have any information about that connection with higher officials.
13:29Yang's name was found again when he faced Jessa Mendoza,
13:33a victim of identity theft,
13:35who was placed as the director or incorporator of various companies,
13:38including Yang's Yancey River Group.
13:41My name, taxpayer identification number, and signature were used to incorporate
13:49no less than 193 corporations.
13:54Of the said number, more than half, or around 102, have foreign-sounding names.
14:02I was not aware of the existence of any of these corporations.
14:07That's why Honteveros thinks that Yang is possibly a mastermind.
14:11Possibly, because he played a big role in the Farmalee scam.
14:17If the same Farmalee group is also here in Pogo,
14:22it's possible that he also played a big role in this.
14:26But Yang was careful in responding to Pogo.
14:29If there is evidence against him, it should be released to the public.
14:33Yang's lawyer added that there is no direct evidence of Yang's connection to Pogo.
14:37Mr. Yang's name has never appeared in any of these corporations.
14:41We have to make a very clear connection about the illegal acts
14:46that a particular person is a part of,
14:50not simply because he is in the corporation.
14:54I think that's pretty unfair.
14:56On camera, Yang was night in contempt yesterday
14:59because of the lack of information about the 3.6 billion peso drug bust
15:03in Mexico Pampanga in 2023.
15:05The shabu was found in the Empire 999 warehouse,
15:08where Lincoln Ong, a well-known associate of Yang, is an incorporator.
15:12When we traced that there are corporations registered under the name Mr. Michael Yang,
15:18we saw that there is a connection to the corporation registered under the name of Mr. Willie Ong.
15:26Now, if you remember, several years ago,
15:30there was a report from Colonel Asierto that he is involved in drug smuggling in Davao.
15:38Barbers ordered a 30-day detention for Yang in Bicutan Jail in Taguig City.
15:43But based on the record of the government,
15:45Yang left Manila to Dubai on May 12.
15:47Yang asked for a dispense because he has an important business trip to Dubai.
15:52He didn't need his presence on camera just to embarrass him.
15:56He has long denied being involved in illegal drugs
15:59and if there is evidence against him, it should be presented in court.
16:03The law is not the right place to deny accusations.
16:07He will defend his name and authority in the right venue.
16:10In addition, everyone knows his relationship with former President Rodrigo Duterte,
16:15whom he met when he was the mayor of Davao City.
16:18Duterte did not help him or his close friend in the business.
16:22He is also not involved in any illegal business.
16:25For GMA Integrated News, Mav Gonzales reporting for 24 Hours.
16:31The GMA Integrated News continues to collect evidence
16:35of former President Rodrigo Duterte's involvement in the Senate hearings.
16:41Even sensitive information, including data related to the West Philippine Sea,
16:48is possible evidence of hackers.
16:51It was discovered in the gadget of one of the two arrested in Tagaytay, Cavite.
16:57John Consulta pointed it out.
17:04The sale of thousands of personal information of subscribers of a cable company in Tagaytay
17:09that was arrested, alias Newbie and Godlike.
17:13Hackers targeting government websites in 2013.
17:17According to one of them, one of the databases that was sent to him was the 300,000 members of the PNP.
17:24There is an address, full information, contact number, email. I saw the firearms there.
17:31Some sensitive information of the Philippine Navy was also recovered in his gadgets,
17:36including some data related to the West Philippine Sea.
17:40We are on the process of validating those claims.
17:44Then when our forensic findings come out, our basis will be conclusive.
17:52That's the time we will call the involved entities, government and private entities.
17:57In one statement, AFP said that they are coordinating with the NBI to verify the data.
18:05Hacker Newbie also admitted to the phishing activities of bank clients
18:11where he earned several million pesos.
18:14I send them emails where they click and log in directly to my system.
18:23At 11 p.m., after that, I call them at 12 p.m. because the limit is reset.
18:33People also sleep and they don't know anything.
18:37If someone is calling you, asking for your number from your bank,
18:42if something happened to your account, don't believe them.
18:47Tell them I will call you back or I will go to the bank.
18:54Report to us. We have capability to locate where that number is.
19:02For JMA Integrated News, John Consulta, Nakatutok, 24 Hours.
19:08President Bongbong Marcos denied the Panokalang Reforma to the Philippine National Police.
19:13According to the President, he cannot approve the Panokalang Batas because its provisions are in violation.
19:19To the Police Administration, he did not add the Panokalang Reforma to strengthen the power of the PNP
19:26to implement the highest level of integrity and responsibility to the police.
19:31The President mentioned that it would be good to approve the Panokalang Reforma
19:35just like the payment to the cadets of the PNP Academy.
19:38But the President said that this provision will disturb the base pay for military and uniformed personnel.
19:45He also did not mention in the Panokalang Reorganization the importance of different offices.
19:51It is also not clear to the President who will report these people.
