00:00The DFA confirmed that more than 1,000 people were killed by the Islamic Pilgrimage to Hajj in Saudi Arabia.
00:09Nico Waher was one of them.
00:15The experience of the Islamic Pilgrimage to Hajj in Mecca, Saudi Arabia is very different.
00:22According to the National Meteorological Center of Saudi Arabia,
00:25the maximum temperature in the Grand Mosque in Saudi Arabia reached 51.8 degrees Celsius during the Hajj.
00:32According to statistics from 10 countries, more than 1,000 pilgrims were killed.
00:36The Department of Foreign Affairs confirmed that a Filipino was among those killed in the Pilgrimage.
00:42According to DFA Undersecretary Eduardo de Vega,
00:45the Philippines was hit by a heatstroke and was based in Riyadh on June 16.
00:49According to de Vega, there is a team in Saudi Arabia to assist the Philippine Embassy in Saudi Arabia
00:53in monitoring and assisting the more than 5,000 Filipinos who joined the Pilgrimage.
00:58The Hajj Pilgrimage is the fifth pillar of the Islamic religion
01:02and one of the most important ways to show their faith.
01:06So even though they know that the hot weather will be their enemy,
01:10many still go.
01:12Each one of them discards the pilgrims to avoid the heat.
01:16Some try to always wet their faces and bodies.
01:19Some even drink other people's water.
01:21Pilgrims also go through water sprinklers.
01:25For the GMA Integrated News, I'm Nico Juaje.
01:28It's been 24 hours.
01:31The traffic of several trips to Paranaque
01:35does not need to be tolerated anymore.
01:38Because of the newly opened Cavitex C5 Link Sucat Interchange,
01:42the toll was paid within a month.
01:45Tina Panganiban Perez was hit.
01:51If you get stuck in traffic,
01:54it's a waste of time and even a waste of gas.
01:58That's why some new routes are a big help for those who come or go to Cavite.
02:03Including the Cavitex C5 Link Sucat Interchange
02:07that was rented and passed by President Bongbong Marcos.
02:11It opens at 6 p.m. to the public
02:13and within 30 days, no toll will be paid here.
02:17The previous one-hour toll on the road
02:20will only last for a few minutes.
02:22With this interchange, motorists will now be able to travel
02:26smoothly, safely, and conveniently
02:29from Cavitex R1 to Sucat, Paranaque
02:33within just five minutes.
02:35It's a dramatic improvement
02:37from the usual one-hour travel time via existing public roads
02:41from Kawit, Cavite.
02:43At first glance, more than 20,000 vehicles will be used here every day.
02:48The President also held the groundbreaking ceremony
02:52for the Cavitex Calax Link
02:54that will be connected to Cavitex and Cavite-Laguna Expressway
02:58and the Cavitex C5 Link Segment 3B
03:01that will be connected to Cavitex, Paranaque and C5 Road, Taguig.
03:07It will also speed up the journey from Cavitex, Paranaque
03:12to C5 Road, Taguig
03:13when the Cavitex C5 Link Segment 3B is completed in 2025.
03:19We expect that the travel time from Cavitex R1
03:22Expressway section to Slex C5 Road
03:28will greatly be reduced from what is now 40 minutes to 10 minutes.
03:33The expected assistance to travelers
03:36will be felt even in business and economy.
03:40That will again be to the benefit
03:43of our small businessmen or farmers
03:46and all of those who require transportation
03:49for their livelihood.
03:51For GMA Integrated News, Tina Panganiban Perez,
03:5624 Hours.
03:59An affidavit was filed by the family of one of the missing passengers
04:03to say that they are no longer interested to continue the case.
04:07But the State Prosecutor decided to continue it.
04:10Darlene Cai was found guilty.
04:14This is the last time that her family saw
04:19the Online Sabong Master Agent, Ricardo Jonjon Lasco.
04:23The CCTV footage of his disappearance on August 30, 2021
04:27shows armed men in his house in San Pablo, Laguna
04:31and taking out the boxes containing the weapons,
04:34watches, and family belongings.
04:36The police staff sergeant Daryl Paghangaan,
04:40patrolman Roy Navarrete,
04:42and patrolman Rigel Brosas
04:44were found guilty of kidnapping in serious illegal detention
04:47and robbery with intimidation.
04:49But they filed a not guilty plea.
04:52But earlier, the affidavit of desistance
04:55in San Pablo Regional Trial Court Branch 29
04:58was filed by Lasco's family including his wife.
05:01They refused to give an interview.
05:03According to the affidavit,
05:05the family was no longer interested to continue the case.
05:09Because of the stress and mental anguish
05:12that it was causing to them.
05:14They were also revoking any testimony
05:16and judicial affidavit that they filed against the case.
05:19But the State Prosecutor still decided to continue the case
05:23even though the Lasco family no longer participated.
05:26This means that the suspects will not be able to appeal.
05:30In the next hearing on July 10,
05:32the accused police refused to give a statement.
05:36For GMA Integrated Loops,
05:37Darlene Cain,
05:3924 Hours.
05:42Bittersweet feels,
05:44full of twists and turns,
05:46is what to expect in the Extraordinary Finale Week
05:48of My Guardian Alien.
05:50For now, Pangs is real
05:52for the cast, including Max Collins
05:54who enjoyed his first contra vida role.
05:57Let's talk to Aubrey Carampel.
06:01Do I know you?
06:03Max Collins enjoyed his first time contra vida role.
06:07in My Guardian Alien as Venus.
06:09She was sure that even if her character is a mean girl,
06:13the audience will still like her.
06:16So far, Venus is already showing her kindness
06:19especially to the alien character
06:21as Capuso's prime time queen,
06:23Marian Rivera, Grace.
06:25There's a redemption story, yes.
06:27Venus is already kind.
06:29In the end, I don't know if I'm going to end up really good or not
06:33or bad, we'll see.
06:35Their taping is now over.
06:37It's time for her My Guardian Alien family
06:40that she's been with for a year,
06:42especially Marian,
06:44who has a gift and a card for her.
06:47Marian is really sweet.
06:49She said that she's happy that she got to know me better.
06:52She said, don't worry, we'll still see each other.
06:55I loved working with her.
06:57She's so nice, so sweet.
06:59Our family in My Guardian Alien really grew
07:02because everyone's so chill.
07:04We don't have a diva.
07:05Max's sister, Katelyn Stabes,
07:08in the series as Hayley,
07:10said that they'll miss each other as true sisters.
07:13And I feel like at the same time,
07:15we can relate on a lot of things.
07:17We have the same roots.
07:19She's from California, I'm from California too.
07:22And then her mom is from Visayas, I'm from Visayas too.
07:25So, you know, we have a lot of similarities.
07:27In tonight's episode,
07:29we'll see if her on-screen love will level up
07:32with Josh Ford
07:33who's acting as Aries.
07:35But the most important thing
07:38is their extraordinary finale week.
07:41No matter what, I'll still be a tearjerker
07:43because it's already over.
07:45And we have a lot of loyal fans and followers of the show.
07:49So, no matter what, they'll cry
07:51because it's already over.
07:53I feel like it's similar to how
07:55the show was ending
07:57and how we finished taping.
07:59It's a bittersweet feeling.
08:01That's all I'll say.
08:03Updated showbiz happenings.
08:07Good news for sports, Kapuso!
08:09The Filipino has a new gold medal.
08:11Olympic pole vaulter, EJ Obiena.
08:14Obiena not only won
08:16the 6th Erwin Jawinski Memorial in Poland.
08:19He cleared the 5.97 meters
08:22of his season's best.
08:24In an Instagram post, EJ said
08:26that he'll take a break
08:28before competing again on Sunday, June 23.
08:31Congratulations, EJ!
08:33Congratulations, EJ!
08:38Last June,
08:40in 2023,
08:42we were approached by
08:44a brother in Tarlac
08:46who had a broken bone
08:49due to malnutrition.
08:51After almost a year,
08:53how is the result of the treatment
08:56that became possible
08:58because of a concerned citizen
09:00and, of course,
09:01a lot of help.
09:06A broken bone
09:08and almost unable to stand,
09:10the brothers Roger and Christian
09:12from St. Ignatius, Tarlac
09:14were the first ones we met
09:16last June.
09:18Maricela and her children
09:20are living alone
09:22in the same house.
09:24She earns P5,000 a month.
09:26It's not enough
09:28for the brothers to receive treatment.
09:30That's why the GMA Kapuso Foundation
09:33immediately brought the brothers
09:35to Tarlac Provincial Hospital.
09:37And here,
09:39they were diagnosed with
09:41chronic malnutrition
09:43and tuberculosis.
09:45They stayed in the hospital for a month
09:47for treatment
09:49and nutritional build-up
09:51for their body to get stronger.
09:53We visited Roger and Christian
09:55in their apartment
09:57in Camarines Sur.
09:59They are now active
10:01and able to walk.
10:03Christian is now back
10:05to school.
10:07They have changed a lot.
10:09I am very happy
10:11because my children
10:13are getting better.
10:15We also gave them groceries,
10:17vitamins, and school supplies.
10:19I was able to do
10:21a lot of housework.
10:23Thank you to everyone
10:25who helped us.
10:27Thank you very much.
10:29Because of your donations,
10:31the brothers
10:33had a new hope.
10:35DOH reminded them
10:37to consult
10:39the health centers
10:41if they have this condition.
10:43The Ministry of Health
10:45buys medicines
10:47against tuberculosis.
10:49We give them for free.
10:51We can give them to our doctors.
10:53Don't be shy.
10:55For those who want to join our projects,
10:57you can deposit
10:59or send your money
11:01to Cebuano Lugulier.
11:03You can also do it online via Gcash,
11:05Shopee, and Lazada.
11:07Some senators
11:09in the Department of Transportation
11:11are now announcing
11:13the unfinished plan
11:15for the route of the jeepneys
11:17under modernization.
11:19The Jeepney Group
11:21has also responded
11:23to the request.
11:25Sandra Aguinaldo was able to make it.
11:27We were able to catch
11:29the fine
11:31for the vehicle.
11:33It was P2,000 for her license.
11:35So in total, it was P12,000.
11:37The Manibela Group
11:39asked to allow those who did not consolidate
11:41to travel
11:43in response to the Senate hearing earlier.
11:45How many extensions
11:47of consolidation?
11:49The question is, will she consolidate?
11:51We all follow
11:53what you're saying.
11:55Then there's only one person who doesn't want to.
11:57Is she an operator?
11:59It's not true
12:01that we don't want to modernize.
12:03It's not true
12:05that we don't want to...
12:07In fact,
12:09we already have
12:11a modernized vehicle
12:13that we're bringing today.
12:15We just don't want
12:17consolidation, Mr. Chairman.
12:19But this group
12:21from Bacolod
12:23asked to allow them
12:25to renew the franchise.
12:26This is a modernization.
12:28But for us,
12:30this is our right to live.
12:32This is our family.
12:34That's why we're asking
12:36the Senators here
12:38to renew our franchise.
12:40Is modernization good
12:42if someone dies?
12:44And for you to live?
12:46This is the 7th hearing
12:48of the Committee on Public Services
12:50regarding PUV modernization.
12:52But first,
12:54under the new chairman of the committee,
12:56the deadline for consolidation is over.
12:59But only 12%
13:01of the local public transport route planning
13:03for the PUV modernization
13:05is completed.
13:07Sen. Grace Fu
13:09and the Department of Transportation
13:11and the LTFRB
13:13have already approved it.
13:15But it is expected to be completed by 2026.
13:17Everyone should help
13:19and produce the LPTRP
13:21with the deadline
13:23of the end of 2026.
13:24Tulfo asked
13:26why the local government
13:28is planning the route.
13:30The business
13:32of the mayor
13:34will give the route
13:36to the families.
13:38And that's not fair.
13:40So let's not totally give
13:42the route visualization to the LGU.
13:44The government
13:46of a local government unit
13:48knows better
13:50about the routes.
13:52You're going to say
13:54DOTR
13:56is just a study.
13:58Sarao Motors
14:00and Francisco Motors
14:02are also looking forward
14:04to the local jeepney manufacturers
14:06who can produce a modern jeepney
14:08that is cheaper than imported.
14:10Usually, each imported unit
14:12reaches 2.4 million pesos.
14:14What did Sen. JVRC2 think?
14:16The payment period
14:18for the loan is long.
14:22Outside the Senate,
14:24the Manibela group
14:26is also protesting.
14:28For GMA Integrated News,
14:30I'm Sandra Aguinaldo
14:32for 24 Hours.
