00:00Comelec Chairman George Garcia is ready to file a case against some individuals who are behind his demolition job against him and Comelec.
00:08We will discuss that with an update on the fact-finding investigation in the case of suspended Bamban Mayor Alice Goh.
00:13We will talk to Comelec Chairman George Garcia. Good morning and welcome to Balitang Hali.
00:17Good morning sir Rafi and good morning to our fellow countrymen.
00:21What are the reasons behind your so-called demolition job against you and Comelec?
00:27As you know, you are not paying attention to all the statements given by the press, media, public, and others who are always saying
00:34that we should use the old machines or why the former provider of Comelec was disqualified
00:40or why it is illegal and null and void the contract that Comelec put in the MIRU system.
00:46It is always like that.
00:47First, they always say, sir Rafi, about the so-called alleged bribery.
00:53Yesterday, there were 49 bank accounts, including 6 local bank accounts.
00:57We proved that all of them are spurious.
00:59All of those are included in the demolition of integrity, not of me, not of my fellow countrymen,
01:06but of the entire commission of elections because, sir Rafi, there are pending cases in the Supreme Court
01:12where they are saying that the contract that we put in is null and void.
01:18There is no other reason for all of those things,
01:21but to influence the decision of the Supreme Court.
01:25If this is a demolition job, do you expect more accusations against you and Comelec?
01:30Yes. Next, there are white papers for the individual members of the commission
01:35and the filing of impeachment complaints against all members of the commission of elections.
01:40As you know, this will not stop.
01:43What we are saying is that we will not allow, sir Rafi,
01:46that our election will have a dispute, especially the name of the commission of elections
01:51because we will fight these kinds of attempts to forgive the name of Comelec.
01:58Are you ready for the name of the individuals who are behind this so-called demolition job?
02:05Sir Rafi, we have already given the documents,
02:07as well as the one we received from our office yesterday, to the National Bureau of Investigation.
02:11At the moment, the NBI is still investigating and we will wait for their findings
02:17because one of the requests that I requested from them is to know
02:22who is spreading this malicious information and demolition about the commission of elections.
02:30We will wait for the results of that investigation.
02:34We will now go to Suspended Mayor Alice Go, who has a standing arrest order.
02:37How will the system of the government in Bamban, Tarlac be?
02:41Is it possible for the acting mayor to remain until the next election?
02:44If there is a suspension, based on our existing law, especially in the local government code,
02:49sir Rafi, and the mayor is suspended, the acting vice mayor,
02:52and as long as the suspension is not lifted,
02:54or for example if there is another suspension or an extended suspension,
02:57the vice mayor will continue to remain as the acting mayor.
03:02If it will take a long time until the filing of the candidacy,
03:04the vice mayor can remain as the mayor of the area.
03:09Is your fact-finding on the possible maternal misrepresentation in the 2022 COC
03:16of Suspended Bamban, Tarlac Mayor Alice Go?
03:20Sir Rafi, this week we will finish the technical analysis and examination of the fingerprints that we have
03:26and the fingerprints that the National Bureau of Investigation has forwarded to us.
03:31By next week, we will have a report on that.
03:35If ever there is an outcome of this, we will guarantee,
03:40we will give a due process to the respondent
03:42and we will still answer the outcome of our fact-finding investigation.
03:48Okay. Thank you very much for the time you shared in Balitang Hali.
03:51Thank you very much, sir Rafi.
03:53Comedic Chairman George Garcia.
03:55Pullicam.
03:57Two motorcycles collided on a road in Difon, Quirino.
04:01Both riders of the two motorcycles collided.
04:05One rider was killed while the other was still in critical condition.
04:09According to the police, the two motorcycles ran fast.
04:12Both riders were not wearing helmets.
04:15Families are now filing a case for harassment and hospitalization of the victims.
04:20They have no one to rely on.
04:26This is your regional TV news.
04:32A male senior citizen was killed after a tree fell on Numancia, Aklan.
04:37According to the victim's partner, the man came out after noticing the strong wind
04:42to see what was happening outside.
04:44Suddenly, the tree fell on the side of their house and the man was injured.
04:49The authorities immediately responded,
04:52but the 68-year-old man was already dead when the tree fell.
04:56Part of their house was also damaged due to the incident.
05:04Only four people were able to sleep before the grandest event of the year,
05:07the GMA Gala 2024.
05:09That's why some sparkle stars have a special effect on their outfits.
05:15It's the piece that I most collaborated on.
05:18I always want to surprise people.
05:21So we looked back on the previous galas and I said,
05:24I want something different.
05:26Still me, but a little more edgy.
05:28Something unpredictable.
05:30Something classic, but with a twist.
05:34Let's look forward to Saturday,
05:36when Gabby Garcia, Andrea Torres, and Michael Seger will rock the stage.
05:40Other sparkle stars are also ready,
05:42like Prince Carlos with his suit,
05:44and John Clifford, Kim De Leon, Anthony Rosaldo, and Princess Aaliyah.
