00:00We will all be together in justice!
00:13Now in Kuwait, they are trying to save the lives of so many foreign workers in their dorms,
00:20which were burnt down in a house there.
00:22Three out of almost 50 people in the Wisa tragedy,
00:25the Filipinos,
00:26the partner of one of them,
00:28was very pleased to talk to GMA Integrated News,
00:32witness, JP Soriano.
00:38In balconies and windows,
00:40some people are crying in their burnt dormitories
00:45in a coastal city in Kuwait.
00:48At 4.30 am in Kuwait,
00:51almost 200 men living in the dormitory were awakened by the blaze.
00:56All of them were foreign workers.
00:59According to Reuters,
01:01an Egyptian driver who was saved,
01:03said that the fire started above the dormitory.
01:07And because of the thick smoke,
01:09the people upstairs did not immediately go down.
01:13He was at 40.
01:15Many were injured and hospitalized.
01:19Most of the victims were Indian nationals.
01:22Four of them were killed,
01:24and 50 were injured.
01:27The Department of Migrant Workers found 11 Filipinos in the dormitory.
01:32They were engineers, iron workers, fitters, surveyors, and other skilled workers.
01:38The victims suffered from severe smoke inhalation.
01:46So they don't have burns in their bodies.
01:48We have two in the ICU,
01:51six who are safe.
01:53All accounted for,
01:54six Filipinos were saved,
01:56while the two Filipinos in the ICU
01:59were shot by the DMW and our embassy.
02:03They are still in the ICU, still in critical condition,
02:05so we will continue to pray for them.
02:08They also suffered from smoke inhalation.
02:12The unfortunate news is that
02:15the three were identified as fatality.
02:19One of the victims was Edwin Petilla, an OFW.
02:23According to his partner, Ronalyn,
02:25Edwin talked to him when the fire broke out.
02:28While Edwin was on video call,
02:30Ronalyn witnessed how quickly the fire spread
02:34and how Edwin tried to find a fire exit.
02:39Edwin also said that he couldn't breathe
02:42until their communication was cut off.
02:46Edwin was still alive,
02:48but this afternoon, Ronalyn found out
02:50that Edwin was with the victims.
02:54Ronalyn's heart was almost broken
02:56when she gave birth to Edwin's first baby.
03:01I'm telling you, even if I'm in a situation
03:04where I want to give up,
03:06I'm afraid to give up
03:08because he doesn't deserve my love.
03:11President Bongbong Marcos ordered
03:13to do everything to help the victims
03:16and to bring back the 10 Filipinos
03:19who were in the hospital morgue.
03:22DMW is now investigating this case.
03:24They are investigating in Kuwait
03:26the so-called worst building fire there.
03:30Their Deputy Prime Minister
03:32led the inspection of the properties
03:35that are considered illegal.
03:37Landlords are looking for the residents
03:40even if the conditions in the dorms
03:43are not safe and humane.
03:47Our government is also involved in the investigation.
03:51We have given instructions to our lawyers
03:54to cooperate and coordinate with the Kuwaiti authorities.
03:58For GMA Integrated News,
04:00JP Soriano is your witness.
04:04Two arrested suspects are facing
04:06a rape and homicide charges
04:08for the murder of an 11-year-old girl in Cavite.
04:11Among the suspects,
04:13no one was injured.
04:15But others are being investigated by the police.
04:18Our witness is Oscar Oida.
04:23I can't see his face,
04:25but from the voice of the man recording the video,
04:28I can feel his weight.
04:31My son, why?
04:34My son,
04:37My son, why did you do that?
04:40The compound of a school in General Trias, Cavite
04:43was severely damaged
04:45after almost two days of searching for his daughter,
04:4911-year-old Rhea Mae Betonio Moreno.
04:53The girl is no longer alive.
04:55She has a broken neck,
04:57a wound on her face,
04:59a wound on her face,
05:00and her dress is torn.
05:02It's positive that the girl was raped.
05:07And the cause of death is asphyxia
05:10through strangulation force.
05:13I can't think of what they did to her.
05:17She was still a child.
05:19So, I can't allow them to pay for what they did to her.
05:25The two suspects have been arrested.
05:27The 22-year-old suspect is the neighbor of the victim,
05:31Alias Rico.
05:32The 35-year-old construction worker,
05:36whose name we have hidden here,
05:38is the suspect's assistant.
05:41Here's a tip from a tricycle driver.
05:44He saw the child who needed time,
05:47and he asked,
05:49why does she need time?
05:51It's already late at night.
05:53And the child answered,
05:56our victim ordered me,
05:59alias ******,
06:02to buy a cigarette.
06:04So, that became our lead.
06:07According to Alias Rico,
06:09Alias Lito was drinking
06:12when he noticed that the victim was playing in the area.
06:15They ordered the child to buy a cigarette.
06:18Until...
06:19We found the girl in the grass.
06:24That's it.
06:25I bit her.
06:28I admit that I bit the girl,
06:31but I didn't bite her.
06:34I didn't bite her.
06:37She was tied up with a bag,
06:40with roots on her neck.
06:43Because the child had a wound on her neck.
06:48Why did they do this?
06:50I don't know, sir.
06:53It's like a trip, sir.
06:59Because we were drunk.
07:03Alias Lito admits that he had nothing to do with the crime.
07:08I really didn't see the child.
07:10I didn't see her either.
07:12We weren't together, sir.
07:14That's why I asked myself,
07:17why did she do that?
07:18She was pointing at me.
07:19I said that we were drunk.
07:21She didn't do it.
07:22We didn't do it.
07:23Suspects who are facing a rape with homicide claim were already inquired.
07:28I hope they will forgive us.
07:33We also ask for their forgiveness.
07:36I don't know why I did that to her child.
07:40I want her to experience what she experienced with my child.
07:44That's what I want to happen to them.
07:46I want to return the death penalty for the two of them.
07:50For GMA Integrated News, Oscar Oida is your witness.
