00:00We will all be together.
00:08Saksi!
00:14Tragedy in Mandaluyong.
00:16A 3-year-old boy was killed in a fire.
00:18And more than 200 families were burned in Mandaue City, Cebu.
00:23Saksi!
00:24By Bernadette Reyes.
00:25Tragedy in Mandaluyong.
00:29In the middle of the roof of the Sari-Sari Estructura,
00:32there was a blazing fire in J. Frizal Street, Barangay Namayan, Mandaluyong.
00:37The fire started on the morning of the 6th.
00:43It was also seen in the vicinity of the rapid rise of heavy smoke.
00:46The workers' barracks, junk shop, and warehouse were burned.
00:51Those living in the nearby residential area were quickly evacuated.
00:55Somehow, he didn't run away.
00:57Because of the fire, it was so big earlier.
01:00So, we ran to the top.
01:02The important things, like clothes, LPGs, those were the things we evacuated.
01:09But after more than 2 hours,
01:12the 13-year-old boy was found in the burnt barracks.
01:16His father accused him of being a fraud.
01:20He's a 2-year-old boy.
01:21He's the son of one of the workers in the junk shop.
01:25We saw that the barracks is made of wood, light materials.
01:28That's why the fire was so big in that part.
01:32Witnesses said that the father tried to save the boy.
01:36The fire was so big.
01:40The boy's father climbed to the edge of the house.
01:44He couldn't get the boy.
01:47His father heard the boy crying.
01:50At 2 p.m., the fire was declared out.
01:54The BFP has not yet determined what caused the fire.
01:57But they have a reminder about the fire prevention mod.
02:00Based on the statements of the people,
02:03that's where the fire started.
02:05But our investigators are still verifying.
02:08Let's make sure that our electrical connections are okay.
02:12It's standard.
02:13Let's avoid overload.
02:15Connection. Octopus connection.
02:17Jumper. Let's also avoid that.
02:19And of course, the kitchen first.
02:21If we're cooking or cooking rice, let's not leave unattended.
02:25Last night at 7 p.m., there was a big fire in Barangay Paknaan in Mandaue City, Cebu.
02:32It reached the fourth alarm before dawn last night at 10 p.m.
02:37177 houses were destroyed.
02:40244 families were affected.
02:43Some of them were afraid that they might lose something.
02:47Some evacuees are asking for help to be able to get up again.
02:51How many children did you destroy?
02:54This one?
02:55Yes, this one.
02:58Go back. It's still hot.
03:01I'm sure that it will be given immediately as soon as possible.
03:08The fire is known to be the fourth fire in Mandaue this March, Fire Prevention Month.
03:15It's smoking. It's smoking.
03:17So the only possible angle is electrical wire or 1240 wire.
03:23But we will go back to the fire scene to get additional evidence.
03:28For GMA Integrated News, I am Bernadette Reyes, your witness.
03:34One person was killed while three cars collided with each other in Lubao, Pampanga.
03:40Our witnesses.
03:45The car ran fast and avoided a road in Lubao, Pampanga.
03:49But it suddenly collided with the back of the next truck.
03:53The impact hit the other lane of the car, which was hit by a bus.
03:58The driver of the car was taken to the hospital, but he was in a critical condition.
04:02His three passengers were injured and were rushed to the hospital.
04:06The police already held the driver of the truck in front of them.
04:11I appeal to all motorists to observe our speed and distance
04:19so that if we are hit by a car, we have time to evacuate and train.
04:25The truck driver did not give any statement.
04:28This is a dashcam footage from a vehicle that is waiting for a go signal in a traffic light on the side of Mandaue City.
04:35Later, we will see the upcoming fire truck.
04:38But when it reached the intersection, a motorcycle passed by and hit the truck.
04:43Based on the investigation, the fire truck was responding to the fire in a barangay.
04:50The 23-year-old rider was dead on arrival at the hospital.
04:54The driver of the fire truck went to the Mandaue City Traffic Enforcement Unit.
04:59He did not give any statement to the media.
05:01We are also waiting for the parent of the victim.

05:33The movement is protesting, especially since they are open to dialogue.
05:37The group is calling for the phase-out of the jeepney and the return of the five-year-old franchise of traditional jeeps.

06:09Meanwhile, the MRT-3 operation started to extend for one hour.
06:15The MRT-3 will adjust the time of the opening of the MRT-3 during the weekend.
06:21Senate President Francis Escudero signed a memorandum of understanding
06:24with Senator Amy Marcos and Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin
06:29before the Senate heard about the arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte.
06:34Bersamin's memorandum can invoke the executive privilege of the members of the Cabinet attending the hearing.
06:42Witness, Simab Gonzales.
06:45In a letter to Senate President Francis Escudero,
06:47Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin reminded the Senate about the arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte.
06:55He said that the members of the Cabinet will use their executive privilege
07:00that was included in the EO464 of the Arroyo Administration.
07:04Under this, the President needs to be instructed when the officials will face the Congress.
07:09The President needs to be instructed when the officials will face the Congress.
07:13I think it was used once or twice.
07:16It depends on the question asked by Senator Amy Marcos.
07:20Under the clause of executive privilege,
07:22all confidential and classified information that the official knows because of his position,
07:27including the senior officials of the Executive,
07:30generals and flag officers of the AFP,
07:32police generals, and national security officials.
07:35This is not a reason not to go and visit.
07:38This is the right that is given to them to refuse to answer
07:42if they can invoke the executive privilege in a question that can provide
07:47the details of the conversation of the members of the Cabinet and the President.
07:52According to Escudero,
07:53Senator Amy Marcos asked the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chair if he wants to attend the hearing.
07:59In the past few days,
08:00it was noticed that President Bongbong Marcos did not mention his sister, Senator Amy, in the campaigns.
08:06Let's not make this an alliance of 10 or 11 people, 11 candidates,
08:13who are running as Senators, who are part of the alliance.
08:18Malacanang asked about this earlier.
08:20What he said to us is clear.
08:24Just wait for the next runnings so that we can know what he really meant by saying no.
08:30Did Senator Amy and PBBMP have a chance to talk?
08:35According to Senator Amy, the President is not talking to her yet.
08:39This weekend, the media asked the Senator if he is still a part of the alliance.
08:43I don't know. I haven't asked yet.
08:45You have not withdrawn from the alliance?
08:47No, no, no. Action taken.
08:49In the question if Senator Marcos will still attend the campaign rally of the alliance,
08:53I will just explain.
08:54I went to the hearing without planning to ruin the administration.
09:02I have no plans.
09:03I have no plans.
09:04I am really asking.
09:06Honestly, I was investigating.
09:09As for the rally, I did not mention it.
09:12It's okay.
09:13Let's be patient.
09:14We can't do anything.
09:16I just told the poll that it might go back to the two sides' fight.
09:23I don't want to get involved.
09:25For GMA Integrated News, I am Mav Gonzalez, your witness.
