00:00The Philippine Statistics Authority confirmed that there is no record of the name Mary Grace Piatos
00:06that was signed in some receipts of the continental funds of the Office of the Vice President.
00:11Jonathan Andal has the latest on the spot.
00:13Jonathan.
00:15Rafi, there is no birth certificate, no marriage certificate, and not even a death certificate
00:21that is named after a Mary Grace Piatos.
00:25That is what the PSA, the Philippine Statistics Authority, said
00:28when they gave a certification to the House Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability
00:33that it is in compliance with the confidential funds of the Office of the Vice President
00:36of the Department of Education under the leadership of Vice President Sara Duterte.
00:40But the certification was also signed by Undersecretary Claire Dennis Mapa.
00:44If there is additional information, such as the name of the parents of Mary Grace Piatos
00:49or the location of her important events,
00:52they can look for it in their Civil Registry System Database.
00:57Mary Grace Piatos was signed in one of the hundreds of acknowledgment receipts
01:03that were sent by the OVP to the COA or the Commission on Audit
01:06to explain how they spent their confidential funds in 2022.
01:11But according to the judges, Mary Grace Piatos is not a real person.
01:15It is said that she was included in the name of a restaurant in Chichiria.
01:19If we can remember, the judges allocated P1 million Pesos
01:24to anyone who can teach Mary Grace Piatos.
01:27According to one of the staff of the OVP during the last hearing of the Good Government Committee,
01:31there are Piatos' affiliates in Davao.
01:34Congressman Raul Manuel of Kabataan Partylist said in a press conference this morning
01:39that the PSA certification was confirmed
01:42that the office of the Vice President was just inventing a receipt.
01:48Raffy, we are still trying to get the approval of Vice President Sara Duterte
01:53on this certification of the PSA. Back to you Raffy.
01:57Thank you very much Jonathan Andal.

04:36The Russian attack submarine that passed through the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines on November 28 has just passed a bad time.
04:46This was explained by the passengers when they were radio challenged by the Philippine Navy
04:50according to the National Security Council.
04:52The submarine came from the exercises with the Malaysian Navy.
04:57The submarine also left that afternoon.
05:01According to the NSC, even though it is part of the EEZ of the Philippines,
05:05it is still a high seas where the submarine can pass through,
05:09so it is allowed for any sea vehicle to sail there.
05:13According to the former vice commander of the Philippine Navy, retired Rear Admiral Romel Judong,
05:19the reason why the submarine was there is a possible mechanical problem that Russia will not admit.
05:26It is also possible that it is a message or a warning for the United States.
05:35In the face of help in the middle of a bad time,
05:37the Philippine fishermen of Rosal Reef, who are in the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines,
05:43were targeted by the China Coast Guard.
05:46Even the Philippine Coast Guard who were involved with the fishermen,
05:50were also attacked by Chinese ships.
05:52This is our report from JP Soriano.
05:56The Philippine fishermen of Rosal Reef or Iroquois are inside the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines.
06:06Suddenly, they were approached by a Chinese helicopter.
06:12It hovered at a low altitude of 15 feet.
06:17It does this to the Philippine fishermen.
06:21We're thinking that they're doing this as a form of harassment to target our Philippine fishermen.
06:27Because the video was sent to the Coast Guard,
06:30they immediately responded to the fishermen who were also hit by rain and strong waves.
06:38We are one of the media personnel who accompanied them to ride the BRP Cape Engaño this Saturday,
06:44followed by the BRP Melchorra Aquino, one of the largest Philippine Coast Guard vessels.
06:50But not far from Palawan,
06:52we were followed by this Chinese Coast Guard vessel at 5 o'clock in the afternoon.
07:01When we arrived in Escoda Shoal,
07:03our vehicle stopped at 8 o'clock in the evening.
07:07In the middle of the night, only light can record the video.
07:11But we saw the China Coast Guard ship pass in front of us.
07:16We also heard the radio challenge of China several times
07:20to keep the Philippine Coast Guard away from their territory.
07:24Past 10 o'clock in the evening, our ship stopped again
07:29because of the passage of the China Coast Guard.
07:32This is very dangerous.
07:33It could hit a boat and become a disaster.
07:39We were able to prevent this kind of collision with the Chinese Coast Guard.
07:44When the light broke, we were able to see a few more Chinese vessels.
07:50We were also able to see the two-week-old Philippine fishermen in Rosal Reef.
07:54At 8 o'clock in the morning on December 1,
07:56after the heavy rain and several times of the China Coast Guard stopping this Philippine Coast Guard vessel,
08:04the PCG vessel of Iroquois or Rosal Reef also arrived.
08:09The China Coast Guard was still watching while our fishermen were riding on the inflatable boats of the PCG.
08:18At one point, they lowered their small speedboat, but it did not approach us.
08:24The China Coast Guard called the gathering of Philippine sea vehicles in Rosal Reef illegal,
08:31so they made a mess.
08:34According to the Filipinos, two of their 20 boats sank because of the bad weather.
08:44But the Chinese did not blame them.
08:48It is also very disappointing.
08:51The mere fact that they were able to fly an aircraft here,
08:54while they were monitoring the Philippine fishermen,
08:57they did not offer any assistance.
09:00Instead of helping, the Filipinos even tried to help.
09:04It hurts my eyes.
09:05Their laser was green.
09:06They were biting.
09:07Their blacking was not like that.
09:10They really blacked it.
09:12They were also warned to pump water when approaching the alleged parts of China.
09:17They said, back to the Philippines.
09:19And despite the talks between China and the Philippines,
09:23like the bilateral consultation with the SMOBCM,
09:26the China Coast Guard continues to stop the Philippine sea vehicles here in the West Philippine Sea,
09:34which is illegal according to the 2016 arbitral ruling.
09:37But the PCG said that they will continue to sail here in the West Philippine Sea
09:41until it is ordered by our government.
09:44J.P. Soriano, reporting for GMA Integrated News.
09:50The Chinese Foreign Ministry is adamant that the claim of the Philippines is not factual or true.
09:55They claim that they have the right to the Rosal Reef and other parts of the Spratly Islands.
10:00The China Coast Guard made it legal to protect their sovereignty.
