00:25Good afternoon, it's time for the hot news

00:30Two ex-couples are back in jail in Manila after they were caught with a stolen scooter.

00:36One of the suspects explained that he just put the scooter's key aside and did not intend to steal it.

00:43Here's the news brought to you by Jomara Presto.

00:48At first glance, you would think that this scooter and tricycle are just passing by on the street.

00:54On the side of M. Natividadan Street in Santa Cruz, Manila on this early Wednesday.

00:59But, the two drivers got into a fight over the theft of the scooter.

01:04According to the barangay police, a man approached them this Wednesday afternoon for a CCTV review.

01:11His scooter was found missing on the side of Felix Huertas.

01:16Based on the investigation of the police, the two suspects were riding a tricycle,

01:21which went around the area of Bloomington Street until they found a motorcycle with a key attached.

01:28The police of Bloomington and P.C.P. responded by backtracking.

01:34That's when they found the involved tricycle.

01:38The two suspects were arrested.

01:40The scooter, which was supposed to be sold for P25,000, was recovered.

01:45One of the suspects refused to sell it.

01:48I'm just concerned because my friend stole a motorcycle.

01:54I just refused to sell it.

01:59According to the tricycle driver who ran into the crowd,

02:02he was approached by the suspects in line and forced to sell the scooter.

02:06That's why he joined them.

02:07I was just involved in that. I'm just looking for a way to make a living.

02:12The police found out that the two suspects used to be cousins

02:16but were jailed because of a case involving illegal drugs.

02:19The two are facing charges of violating the R.A. 10883 or the New Anti-Carnapping Act of 2016.

02:26Jomer Apresto reporting for GMA Integrated News.

02:35There was no bad weather in the country but it rained and some places were flooded in Mindanao.

03:05Residents were rescued and the rider and his motorcycle were rescued.

03:10The ground shook and the rocks were growing on a road in Esperanza, Sultan Kudarat.

03:16It was also in a river.

03:19The road to the area was difficult.

03:21According to the MDRRMO, the intertropical convergence zone was the cause of the rain in Mindanao.

03:29The high chance of rain in Mindanao will continue because of the ITCZ.

03:33According to the MDRRMO, Palawan and Eastern Visayas are also affected.

03:37The hot east release is spreading to other parts of the country.

03:41Based on the rainfall forecast of Metro Weather,

08:13which would be connected to LRT-1, MRT-3 and MRT-7.

08:18According to the DOTR, the project has been put on hold for a long time.

08:46A man in Qainta Rizal was arrested on suspicion of rape and threatening his friend.

08:55In defense of the accused, he did not force the victim.

08:58Breaking news.

09:03This 32-year-old man was quiet and calm when he was arrested by the police in Barangay Santo Domingo, Qainta Rizal on Wednesday

09:12on behalf of the Warrant of Arrest for Rape.

09:16It has been three years since the man was raped and threatened his 21-year-old friend.

09:25Our victim approached our accused because his living partner, a friend of our accused, did not return home for three days.

09:35So our accused approached the victim in his apartment.

09:39The accused promised to help the victim find his living partner.

10:00The accused threatened the victim. He refused to give up.

10:05He agreed. He wanted something from me. He hugged me.

10:10That's it. It's like I'm free. I have nothing to do with this. He wants something from me.

10:16According to the police, the man was previously jailed for illegal drugs and gambling.

10:22The rape case he's facing has nothing to do with it.

10:25Bea Pinlock reporting for GMA Integrated News.

10:29This is the GMA Regional TV News.

10:35Hot news from Rizal brought to you by GMA Regional TV.

10:39As for the food, the barangay Upper Binugsakan in Ginubatan, Albay is allowed to eat raw fish.

10:47Chris, where did the fish come from?

10:50Rafi, residents are blaming the nearby chicken and dressing plants for the abundance of fish.

10:56Residents' livelihood is affected, including those living in other barangays.

11:01From their food to their sleep, there's no end to the abundance of fish.

11:06Authorities have already inspected to find out where the fish came from.

11:10The municipality has also initiated a cease and desist order for the chickens to close their two dressing plants

11:16until their pest control program is finalized.

11:20Is the owner of the chicken trying to get the message out?

11:23Million Pesos worth of Umanoy Shabu was found in two operations in the middle of Luzon.

11:30In Angeles, Pampanga, two suspects were arrested, including a Chinese national in Barangay Santo Domingo.

11:36More than 100 kilos of Umanoy Shabu was found in the operation.

11:40It was placed in 76 tea bags.

11:44It is estimated to be worth Php 680 million.

11:47It was also involved in the operation of a SUV, a cell phone,

11:51a driver's license of the suspects, and the money used in the buy-bust.

11:55The last suspects have not been released

11:58in the face of a complaint against the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act.

12:02Three more were arrested in the drug buy-bust operation in Norsagaray, Bulacan.

12:07The suspects were found with 30 kilos of Umanoy Shabu placed in 30 tea bags.

12:12It is estimated to be worth Php 204 billion.

12:15According to the police, a Chinese national was behind the operation.

12:19The last suspects will also be found in the face of a complaint against the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act.

12:25They were also not released.

12:29The 2023 decision of the Muntinlupa Regional Trial Court Branch 204 was declared null and void by the Court of Appeals.

12:36The decision of the 2023 decision of the Muntinlupa Regional Trial Court Branch 204

12:41was declared null and void by former Senator Laila Delima in the case of illegal drugs.

12:47The C.I. is also returning the case to the Muntinlupa RTC.

12:51Delima said that the C.I. decision that her acquittal is null and void does not make sense.

12:57We have a report from Darlene Cai.

12:59Answered prayers.

13:02It's a glorious day.

13:05This is the beginning of my vindication.

13:09May 2023, the former Senator Laila Delima was acquitted by the Muntinlupa RTC Branch 204

13:15in the case of illegal drugs in the RA9165 or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act

13:20known as the illegal use of drugs in the field.

13:22The accusation against Delima was that the Nooy Justice Secretary received P10 million from the drug trade in 2012

13:31for his senatorial campaign.

13:33He was one of the former Bureau of Corrections or YC Rafael Ragos

13:36who brought money to Delima's house in Paranaque.

13:39But then, Ragos returned his testimony and said that he was just scared.

13:44In the decision of the Muntinlupa RTC Branch 204,

13:46a reasonable doubt arose about the return of Ragos.

13:51That's why Delima and his aide, Ronnie Dayan, were acquitted.

13:55May I say this to my oppressor?

13:58You can never crucify me.

14:01The RTC made the decision last July.

14:04The Solicitor General filed a petition for certiorari in the Court of Appeals in September 2023.

14:10Now, the decision of the CA 8th Division has been released.

14:13It was ordered to return the case to the Muntinlupa RTC Branch 204.

14:18In the decision of the CA,

14:20it was said that the only basis for the acquittal of Delima

14:23was the return of Ragos' testimony.

14:26But there was no detailed discussion about the statements that Ragos returned.

14:30That's why it's hard to understand the reason for the Court's decision.

14:34The Court said that it is unclear which statements Ragos returned,

14:38what effect the statements that were returned had on the prosecutions

14:43and which part of the crime was not proven.

14:46The ruling of the Court said that this is not considered a double jeopardy

14:50because the acquittal of Delima is not valid from the start.

14:55In a statement, Delima said that the decision is questionable.

14:59He will see all the questions of the CA in the records of the case.

15:03However, they will appeal to the CA and the Supreme Court if necessary.

15:07And because the decision of the CA is still appealable,

15:09it does not mean that the acquittal of Delima is not valid from the start.

15:14Delima clarified that he did not reverse his acquittal.

15:18If not, he is just correcting the content of the decision

15:21that in their opinion is not necessary because the decision of the RTC is clear.

15:26Darlene Cai reporting for GMA Integrated News.

15:32That man was arrested outside the store in Barangay Poblacion in Santo Niño, South Cotabato.

15:37He messaged and later, he slowly entered and took some trays of eggs.

15:43According to the owner of the store, the man who took the CCTV,

15:47he also ordered 6 trays of eggs from him.

15:51The man tied the trays of eggs and said,

15:54he will just come back to get it and pay for it.

15:57After an hour, while the shopkeeper was on his back,

16:01the man came back and took the eggs which are worth more than P1,600.

16:06The incident has been reported to the authorities.

16:18According to the experts, the public has a strong sentiment

16:23towards Marcos Duterte on how they voted for the election of 2025.

16:27That is why there are also candidates who benefited from this.

16:31We have news from Joseph Moro.

16:36Senator Bong Go is a clear frontrunner.

16:39According to the GMA Integrated News Research,

16:42almost half of the votes of Governor Duterte came from Mindanao,

16:47Eastern Visayas, and National Capital Region,

16:50of which he is the first in five cities or towns.

16:53In 82 provinces in the Philippines,

16:55Go is number one in 45 provinces,

16:59including some provinces in Cordillera Administrative Region,

17:02Batanes, Nueva Vizcaya,

17:03and even in the latest in Visayas,

17:06known as Baluarte by Marcos and Romualdez.

17:09Political analyst Professor Jean Franco explained

17:12that these votes are for Go to support former President Rodrigo Duterte.

17:17The Duterte surge can be attributed to Bong Go being number one,

17:22and also he was able to plant,

17:25in the sense that the malasakit centers have been closely identified with Bong Go.

17:31Congressman Rodante Marcoleta was surprised by the number six

17:35because his number was low in the surveys.

17:38According to Professor Franco, Duterte's support helped.

17:42They say it's the Church, but the population of the Church is only 2.8 million.

17:49So even if they do black voting,

17:51the number of votes he got is almost the same.

17:55And in 2.8, not all of them are registered voters.

17:58Marcoleta figured in during the Quadcom hearings.

18:03That's why Marcoleta, who was also brought in by Mindanao,

18:06was also able to get votes in the Luzon region and Visayas.

18:10According to the political analyst,

18:12we were able to talk about the public's sentiment

18:16on what's happening in the country and in themselves

18:19as a result of the election of 2025.

18:22For example, if we're talking about the cases of Bam Aquino

18:25and Kiko Pangilinan,

18:28I think they are the ones who served as alternative candidates

18:32to the voters who are fed up with the two political camps,

18:39the administration versus Duterte camp.

18:43Aquino is a top-notcher in 21 provinces.

18:47Bam Aquino packaged himself as really the one who authored the Libreng College tuition.

18:53Then, that would have moved some young voters and even the parents to select him.

19:01Secondly, the Aquino family name.

19:05Kiko Pangilinan ran for Mindanao in the last days of the campaign

19:10and was able to get endorsements from some leaders in Mindanao.

19:13He ran for Luzon, especially in vote-rich regions

19:17like Southern Tagalog, National Capital Region, Central Luzon, and Bicol.

19:20In the slate of President Bongbong Marcos,

19:23six of his candidates were included in the alliance.

19:26According to Dr. Dennis Coronacion,

19:28they will only be limited to five or six.

19:32When it comes to the opposition,

19:34there are two kinds of opposition.

19:37Representative Toby Echanco, the campaign manager of the administration ticket,

19:41was admitted,

19:43who was affected by their involvement in the impeachment against Vice President Zlaro Duterte.

19:47As soon as the impeachment was filed,

19:50which I will make it clear,

19:52I'm not in favor, I'm not against,

19:55Mindanao will solidify.

19:57That's self-inflicted.

19:59Joseph Morong reporting for GMA Integrated News.

20:04The Senate President, Senator Chief Escudero,

20:07will remain silent if the majority of Senators will not elect a new leader

20:11for the 20th Congress.

20:13The media asked Escudero

20:15because many former Senators are likely to return,

20:17including former Senate President Tito Soto.

20:21Soto first said that he will let his fellow Senators decide,

20:25but he is ready to accept any job and responsibility given to him.

20:30Escudero clarified that Soto is not the only one who can be the Senate President.

20:35It is more important for the Senate President to fulfill his duties,

20:38including being the presiding officer in the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte.

20:44Even if the incumbent and incumbent Senators come from different parties,

20:48Escudero believes that the impeachment trial will be fair and just.

20:55Veterans, listen to the legislation, to the parliamentary rules.

21:01There are outbursts, emotional outbursts.

21:04That's part of it, but we will maintain order and we will keep order within the impeachment court.

21:09We will make sure of that.

21:10With the help, of course, of the other members, as well as the Sergeant-at-Arms if necessary.

21:40One peso and 40 centavos per liter of gasoline.

21:44While one peso and 30 centavos, up to one peso and 40 centavos for kerosene.

21:50One of the factors affecting the rise in prices is the establishment of sanctions against the United States

21:55on almost two dozen companies in the international oil trade of Iran.

22:00This is the GMA Regional TV News.

22:05Breaking news in Visayas and Pindanao from GMA Regional TV.

22:10A man has been arrested after he filed a complaint of harassment in Barangay Elena in Iligan City.

22:15Cecile, what happened?

22:18Rafi, the man trespassed and disappeared from the house of his former live-in.

22:24According to the police, they broke the door and windows of the house.

22:27Their belongings were found there.

22:29Their belongings were also scattered on the floor.

22:31The house was charged with 150,000 pesos.

22:35The suspect, who was known as Alyas Ron, was inside the house.

22:39According to the initial investigation by the police,

22:42the victims received threats from the suspect.

22:46They have no statement.

22:49A house in Barangay Gunob in Lapu-Lapu, Cebu, was hit by a tree.

22:53The story of a family living in the house.

22:56On Wednesday morning, the tree suddenly fell.

22:59Fortunately, no one was hurt inside the house.

23:02But a large part of the house was damaged.

23:05The barangay residents responded to get the tree.

23:08The tree fell unexpectedly.

23:11Aside from the fact that it has been standing behind the house for 30 years,

23:14it was not destroyed by the typhoons.

23:24Ladies and gentlemen,

23:26American singer-songwriter Chris Brown was arrested.

23:31Because of his drunkenness,

23:34he used a bottle to a music producer while he was in a nightclub in London in 2023.

23:41According to local media,

23:43Brown was arrested in his hotel in Manchester.

23:46In another statement,

23:48the Metropolitan Police of London confirmed that

23:50a 36-year-old man was arrested in a hotel in Manchester

23:56because of their suspicion of previous bodily harm.

24:00This is related to an incident in February 2023.

24:04The man is in custody.

24:07The singer-songwriter's camp has yet to comment on this.

24:11In the CCTV footage of the barangay of Dajangas South in General Santos City,

24:17the man was seen standing outside a vulcanizing shop.

24:23He was standing and mumbling.

24:26Later on, he entered the shop.

24:30When he came out, he brought a grinder and left.

24:34Later on, he returned to the shop and sat near a tricycle

24:37that was being vulcanized.

24:39After that, the man got out of the tricycle and left.

24:43According to the owner of the shop,

24:45the price of the grinder was Php 1,500.

24:48The suspect was with the tricycle that was being vulcanized in their shop.

24:52It is not yet clear if the tricycle driver and the suspect are related.

24:57The theft has been reported.

25:08The Angeles City Regional Trial Courts arrested the former presidential spokespersons Harry Roque,

25:13Cassandra Lee Ong, and 68 others

25:17for the case of Qualified Human Trafficking against Lucky South 99 Pogo in Porac, Pampanga.

25:22According to the warrant,

25:24there is a sufficient connection between the accused and Lucky South 99 Pogo

25:27who committed scams, torture, and other illegal activities.

25:32The case has no basis.

25:34Roque is the lawyer of Whirlwind Corporation,

25:37the owner of the land owned by Lucky South 99 Pogo.

25:41He is adamant that he will not be charged for what he is doing

25:45and that he will add it to the basis of his asylum application in the Netherlands.

25:49Roque will do all possible legal actions for the sake of his life and freedom.

25:56Ong's lawyer, Atty. Ferdinand Topacio, refused to comment

26:00because he is still studying the arrest warrant.

26:03He also does not know if his client,

26:06the authorized representative of Lucky South 99, is still in the Philippines.

26:10The GMA Integrated News is trying to ask for the permission of others to be arrested.

26:20We are on Food Trip Friday, Kapuso.

26:24In Rizal, there are many local foods that are worth trying.

26:29Are you excited? Here is the taste of Drew's trip.

26:37We are on a food trip in Rizal, Viejeros.

26:42There are classic foods for the locals.

26:45The Pancit Palingke.

26:47How much is one of those?

26:4810 pesos.

26:4910 pesos only?

26:50Yes.

26:51How do you eat it?

26:52You can dip it.

26:53Dip it.

26:54Let's take a picture.

26:57I am not good at eating.

26:59Just occasionally.

27:02There is a shrimp dish that Rizal's people are proud of.

27:05The Pinugot.

27:07In other places, the head of the shrimp is thrown.

27:10In Pinugot, the ingredients for the taste are the pinugot of the head of the shrimp.

27:13Hey.

27:15There it is.

27:18It has the sourness of the pinugot, but it also has the coconut milk.

27:25It is full of foods that Rizal is proud of.

27:44Abisala mga mary and pare.

27:47Let's update on our new generation Sangres.

27:57Before we watch, as Sangre Adamus, we will watch Spartal Star Kelvin Miranda in the episode of Magpakailanman Bukas, Sabado.

28:07Kelvin's character will be involved in a love conflict.

28:10He will have three siblings.

28:14He will be in the episode of Thea Tolentino, Arasan Agustin, and Lizelle Lopez.

28:19It will air on 8.50 tomorrow on GMA.

28:22In addition, Kelvin is excited to watch Encantada Chronicles Sangre on TV.

28:32I am happy.

28:33I am happy.

28:35All the hard work we put in, the audience is slowly seeing it.

28:41There are a lot of people who are happy to watch and see the promos of Sangre.

28:49Sangre.

28:53You are a real Sangre, Tera.

28:55You have a tagline already.

28:57The new character plogs of other characters in Sangre will add excitement.

29:03You will be amazed at the fight scenes that Tera played by Bianca Umali.

29:09Peg seems like a superhero.

29:13The mystery of why she is in the world of humans will be added.

29:17Flamara's character is sizzling hot, played by Faith Da Silva.

29:23Flamara did not miss the fight scenes in the world of Encantada.

29:37The impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte is one of the major issues

29:42in the opening of the new Congress in July.

29:44We will talk to ML, former member of the Liberal Party and its first nominee,

29:49presumptive congresswoman Laila Delima.

29:51Good morning and welcome to Balitang Hali.

29:54Good morning to all the viewers and listeners of your program.

29:59First of all, what is your reaction to the nullifying of the Court of Appeals

30:03in the decision of the Muntinlupa Regional Trial Court that you were acquitted

30:06in one of your illegal drug cases?

30:08We are just wondering about that decision.

30:10What they are saying is that the writing of the respondent judge is not good or right.

30:20They are not saying that my acquittal is wrong.

30:25There is a reason and basis for my acquittal.

30:31This should be the double jeopardy.

30:37They should not appeal for acquittal.

30:40Yes, there are two or three exceptions, but these are strict exceptions,

30:47such as mistrial, sham, sham the process, or the prosecution was not given due process.

30:57None of that happened in that case because there was a full-blown trial.

31:07What you're saying is that it was just a technicality.

31:12What will happen here?

31:14It's just a form over substance.

31:17The most important thing is the substantive finding that my guilt was not proved.

31:23It's not the form of the decision.

31:26Later this afternoon, we will have a meeting together with the legal team.

31:32We will discuss the next step.

31:36Most probably, motion for reconsideration.

31:42Okay. While you are motioning for reconsideration,

31:45you will not go back to the RTC on this case.

31:49The CA will wait for your appeal.

31:51Yes, yes. It's not final yet.

31:54The decision of the RTC will not move yet.

31:58In other words, my acquittal is still there.

32:02If your appeal did not succeed and you will go back to the RTC,

32:09what can happen there?

32:11Will there be a retrial or will the judge just correct the technicality of his decision?

32:16That's the confusing part.

32:18Nothing is said in the decision of the Court of Appeals that there will be a retrial.

32:27What is said is to correct the decision and comply with the constitutional standards.

32:37What is said is that the law should be clear.

32:43We think that the decision of the RTC is clear.

32:48Everything is there.

32:50We cannot understand that.

32:52The Court of Appeals is not saying to correct the decision.

32:56That's a double jeopardy.

33:00If the case is going to be retried, it should be done.

33:04Anyway, we will wait for the appeal.

33:08Anyway, ma'am.

33:10Why did you immediately intervene in becoming a house prosecutor in the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte?

33:17Yes.

33:19We were invited by the House Speaker to become a member of the prosecution panel.

33:26I just want to clarify that you were invited and you did not volunteer.

33:30Yes.

33:31I received a call yesterday from the Speaker himself.

33:39He said that we are eyeing on you and also Attorney Chell, joke, to be part of the prosecution panel.

33:47I agreed.

33:49I think that means that on the part of the House of Representatives,

33:55they can see that we can do something.

34:00We will be serious in our work as prosecutors.

34:07We're willing to work with the other members of the prosecution panel.

34:10Will your investigation as Commissioner of the CHR help in the trial?

34:18Not really because our investigation involved the former President Rodrigo Duterte.

34:27This is about Vice President Sara.

34:31This is about the mayor.

34:33But it will help because the overall or surrounding factual circumstances of the EJ case are the same.

34:48It is based on the testimony of Arturo Lascañas.

34:54He also has a similar testimony against the former President.

35:01So yes, artly, it will help.

35:05How is your preparation for sitting in Congress?

35:09What are your priorities regarding the bill?

35:12We will also have a meeting with the ML for discussion.

35:18These are our first iso-files.

35:21The ML is fully sectoral.

35:25The ML represents different sectors.

35:28We have already thought of priority legislations for each sector.

35:35We will discuss the legislation priorities.

35:41Okay. Thank you very much.

35:45Okay. Thank you very much for your time on Balitang Hali.

35:50Thank you very much also Rafi and GMA7. Thank you.

35:57We will try to breathe a sigh of relief with the new statements of Atty. Delima.

36:08The authorities helped to bring a body from a house in Barangay Basak in Lapulapo City.

36:16The body is 3 meters long and weighs 30 kilos.

36:19A man was injured after he was stabbed while he was trying to remove the wound.

36:25According to the Community Environment and Natural Resources Office,

36:28the wound is not venomous or has no taste.

36:31They say that snakes come out because of the effect of the hot weather.

36:43Let us now update on the proclamation of the winning senators.

36:46We will talk to the Commonwealth Spokesperson, Atty. John Rex Laudianco.

36:50Good morning and welcome to Balitang Hali.

36:53Good morning sir Rafi and to all the listeners of Balitang Hali.

36:57How is your preparation for the proclamation of the 12 winning senators in the election of 2025?

37:02The final resolution that will be read tomorrow is still in progress.

37:08It includes the 12 senators who won,

37:11as well as their votes.

37:14This is what we are reading so that their certificates of proclamation will reach them.

37:21Did you prepare everything?

37:23We will now bring their invitations and notices.

37:28Based on our experience, the winning senators are arriving.

37:34Who should or can only be included in the proclamation?

37:37We are allowing the winning senators to be included.

37:42They are being given to us.

37:44There are around 10 to 15 companions.

37:47We are also giving them a premium because this is their moment.

37:51They worked hard for this.

37:53They should have family members who worked hard for this.

37:58That is why they will have a lot of visitors tomorrow.

38:01Is it possible to have a proclamation in absentia?

38:05Have you experienced this before?

38:07Yes, it is possible.

38:09As you know, raising our hands is a ceremonial act.

38:13What is really needed is the certificate of canvas and proclamation.

38:17It is possible.

38:19What do we expect from the proclamation of the party list groups on Monday?

38:23We will do a full proclamation.

38:25We will not do the same as we did before.

38:28We will just proceed with it.

38:30Now that we have completed the 175 certificates of canvas,

38:34the votes are now complete.

38:36That is what Sir Rafi needs so that we can compute the distribution or allocation of seats.

38:41It is clear now that our supervisory committee is also reviewing their recommendations to our commission and bank.

38:48Now, the resolution will also be reviewed to see which party list got the 63 seats that were allotted to them.

38:56Has the party list group regarding the seat allocation mentioned by the NBOC been approved?

39:01This is included in the discussion.

39:04The motions that were said since a few days ago,

39:08that is why Chairman Garcia also mentioned,

39:10those who agreed to say, suggest, motion, move, and manifest,

39:15they have already submitted to you.

39:17It is already being discussed.

39:19Is it 63? Is it 64?

39:21Who will get 3 seats? Who will only get 2 seats?

39:23And who will reach the end of our party list seats?

39:26All of these are being considered by the committee.

39:29Are there those who are holding on to the proclamations?

39:32If I am not mistaken, there are almost 20.

39:35How is the discussion regarding these cases?

39:38It will continue Sir Rafi.

39:40You know that the order of suspension of proclamation was really made by the committee.

39:44It is not to block anything.

39:46It is not to continue the litigation of the case.

39:49You know, if it can be proven in the litigation that the law was not violated,

39:54there is no problem, we can proclaim.

39:56If it can be proven that it was disqualified in the violation of the law,

40:01it can be brought back to the ongoing litigation of the case.

40:05It can also be brought to the Supreme Court,

40:07in any decision of COMELEC regarding this.

40:10What is your general assessment on the election of 2025?

40:13Are there good practices that can be done again in 2028?

40:16We have learned a lot of good practices.

40:19We also saw a lot of areas for improvement.

40:21You know, the goal of COMELEC now is not only for accuracy,

40:26but also for stability, peaceful, transparent.

40:28We also want to increase the level of voting experience.

40:32That is why we are focusing on, as early as now,

40:35how can we improve the early voting hours,

40:38the voting of our vulnerable sectors.

40:41Because we saw for the first time that the number of senior citizens,

40:46persons with disabilities, decreased in the early voting hours.

40:49So the decision was right to give them a premium.

40:52First, it is their time.

40:53But we said that it should be increased.

40:56If more people need to be added,

40:58if more machines need to be added,

41:00it is only certain that they will be given a higher voting experience.

41:04And moreover, we are also looking at how we can improve the regular voting hours

41:09for the regular voters.

41:11You know, each one is important.

41:13That is why increasing the voting experience,

41:15along with increasing the transparency,

41:18and increasing the accuracy,

41:19is what gives confidence to our countrymen when it comes to elections.

41:24Okay. Thank you very much for your time.

41:26For Balitang Hali, thank you very much. Long live to you.

41:29Comment ex-spokesperson, Atty. John Rex, Laudianco.

41:33A Filipino mountaineer who tried to climb the highest mountain in the world,

41:38Mount Everest, is on his way.

41:40Here is my report.

41:42Here, literally, one person can say that he is at the top of the world.

41:46The summit of Mount Everest is at an altitude of 28,000 feet.

41:51More than the great challenge of climbing,

41:53the weather and surroundings,

41:55including the danger of avalanche,

41:57or rapid snowfall,

41:59on the other hand,

42:01not less than 6 Filipinos were able to reach the top in 2006 and 2007.

42:06After 18 years,

42:07Engineer Philip P.J. Santiago also challenged the so-called climb of a lifetime.

42:12Ever since I was a child,

42:14I've always had this urge

42:16of wanting to see the edge

42:18and to come back

42:20and tell my story about it.

42:22But Engineer is different when it comes to climbing.

42:24Not only for himself,

42:26but also to support his advocacy

42:28for Clean Water Philippines

42:30and the fight against children's cancer.

42:32Pure children's cancer.

42:34Climbing mountains.

42:36Climbing Mount Everest

42:38is very little

42:41compared to the paddles

42:43these little warriors are facing every day.

42:46And we aim to give attention

42:49and awareness

42:51to their plight

42:53and for their cause.

42:55P.J. has been preparing for a long time

42:57for the Mount Everest summit climb,

42:59including running a marathon of 42 kilometers

43:02while wearing a backpack

43:03weighing 15 kilos.

43:07P.J. also participated in the Ice and Snow Climb Training.

43:10He went back and forth to Nepal twice

43:12to climb the Everest Base Camp in 2023

43:15and a small mountain last year.

43:17This April,

43:19he went to Nepal for the summit

43:21with his cousin Carl Santiago

43:23as a base camp support staff.

43:25Engineer P.J. is part of a climbing group

43:28of climbers from various countries.

43:31Last week,

43:33P.J. joined the group.

43:35Even though he was partially unconscious

43:37and injured in his knee,

43:39he continued his doctor's summit push

43:41after a six-day break.

43:43In Camp 4, P.J. was last seen alive.

43:45Every year,

43:47climbers die on Mount Everest.

43:49Based on the data from the Himalayan Database

43:51recorded by the Nepal-Himalayan Expeditions,

43:53only 340 people died

43:55from 1921 to September last year.

43:58This year,

44:00P.J. was the first non-local there

44:01to be buried alive in the mountains.

44:03His grave is yet to be excavated.

44:05It is not yet clear

44:07what was the purpose of his funeral.

44:09Family, friends, supporters and sponsors,

44:12we thank you.

44:14Together, let's do this.

44:17Raffi Tima reporting for GMA Integrated News.

44:22This is GMA Regional TV News.

44:26Almost a million pesos worth of cigarettes

44:29were found in Arayat, Pampanga.

44:31According to the police,

44:33two suspects were stopped

44:35at a Comelec Checkpoint in Barangay Mapalad.

44:37The white van of the suspects

44:39and 60 boxes of cigarettes

44:41with no relevant documents were confiscated.

44:43The suspects will face

44:45a complaint against the Consumer Act,

44:47Intellectual Property Code

44:49and Tariff and Customs Code

44:51of the Philippines.

44:53They have nothing to say.

44:56The six suspects

44:58were arrested

45:00and are now being held

45:02by Captain Barangay Suarez

45:04and Ms. Sami Sohiental.

45:06According to the police,

45:08armed robbers entered the victim's house

45:10at 3 p.m. on Monday morning.

45:12The robbers beat up the people in the house

45:15before they took the 40,000 pesos cash

45:18and 8 cellphones.

45:20With the help of a GPS,

45:22a stolen gadget,

45:23the authorities were able

45:25to get the money and gadgets back.

45:27According to the police,

45:29the incident was not an election-related violence

45:31even though it happened

45:33on the day of the election.

45:35The suspects have yet to make a statement.

45:38Hot news!

45:40The MMDA issued an urgent motion

45:42to get the Supreme Court

45:44to return its temporary restraining order

45:46to the No Contact Apprehension Policy

45:48or NCAP.

45:50According to MMDA Chairman Romando Artes,

45:51they have already solved

45:53the problems in NCAP.

45:55It will be included in their new guidelines.

45:57NCAP will also be able to help

45:59while fixing EDSA

46:01because it will no longer be able

46:03to add to the weight of the traffic

46:05that the violator is chasing.

46:07The Supreme Court issued the TRO

46:09in August 2022

46:11to study the legality of NCAP.

46:13This was followed by some transport groups

46:15because of issues such as data privacy

46:17and tax evasion

46:18as well as violations

46:20that were not reported to the driver.

46:22If the Supreme Court does not

46:24return the TRO,

46:26Artes hopes that they will be allowed

46:28to use NCAP on buses

46:30that violate the traffic laws.

46:35It is certain that the game of

46:37beating the cheesemonger

46:39will not be beaten by substance.

46:41The ones who are caught

46:43are not the ones who are used to candy

46:45but the vegetables.

46:49Oh my goodness!

46:51That is the celebration

46:53of the Aranya and Baluarte Festival

46:55that was won by

46:57U.S. Cooper Red, Salvador.

46:59It was also done as part of

47:01San Isidro Labrador's

47:03patron of farmers.

47:05Different types of vegetables and fruits

47:07are served as a symbol

47:09of the prosperity and goodness

47:11of farmers.

47:13It is not just fun,

47:15it is also substantial.

47:16It is also substantial!

47:19Don't fall!
