00:00To Meralko's customers, there is an increase in electricity bill this month.
00:09According to their announcement, the bill will increase by more than 3 centavos per kilowatt-hour.
00:14For those who consume 200 kilowatt-hours per month, it is equivalent to an increase of 7 pesos in the electric bill.
00:21Meralko said that the generation charge or the price of electricity from the plants became cheaper.
00:26The increase of the transmission charge of the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines or NGCP was only for a larger purpose
00:32due to the purchase of a reserve of electricity.
00:37Two independent contractors of GMA refused to listen to the Senate
00:41on the allegation of sexual harassment of actor Sandro Mulac.
00:45Let's hear from Sandro Aguinaldo.
00:48This is the first time in public that two actors accused Sandro Mulac of sexual harassment,
00:55Richard Cruz, the scriptwriter and creative consultant,
00:59and Giorgio Nones, a former consultant and director,
01:03are the independent contractors of GMA Entertainment Group.
01:06In front of the Senate Committee on Public Information and Mass Media,
01:09they denied the accusation that the son of veteran actor Nino Mulac was molested.
01:16We did not commit any sexual harassment or abuse against Sandro Mulac.
01:22On this occasion, in front of all of you,
01:28we reject all false accusations against us.
01:35To Sandro, we did not do anything bad to you and you know that in your heart.
01:42It's not too late for everyone to tell the truth.
01:47In addition to the two,
01:49in our long history in the industry,
01:51there was not a single complaint, whether sexual or anything else,
01:56that was filed against us.
01:58That's why we will not destroy the name, career, and reputation we care about
02:08to abuse or harass a person.
02:12Especially since we know that he is the son of a famous artist and has an influential family.
02:18What is our fight against ordinary workers?
02:24We do not deny that we are gay.
02:27In fact, being gay is one of the reasons why we became creative,
02:32artistic, and had the skills needed in the industry.
02:35We used our whole life to be gay in a proper way
02:42to protect our families.
02:45They have a call to the public.
02:47In the end, we also ask for justice.
02:50I hope justice will give us a fair judgment.
02:54That's why we can prove to the fiscal court that we are not guilty.
03:00Let's just wait for the due process
03:04While we are waiting for that,
03:06we ask the people not to judge us first.
03:11Let the convicted criminals be judged first.
03:15In the questioning of Senator Jingo Estrada,
03:18in connection with some details of the incident,
03:20the Executive Session asked for the two complaints filed by the committee.
03:25After the Executive Session,
03:27where the issues discussed were confidential,
03:30this is what some Senators said.
03:32We cannot divulge first yet the details of what transpired during the Executive Session.
03:41But what we all understand right now,
03:43there is a strong evidence against these two gentlemen.
03:52Nino read the reply of his son Sandro and Nones
03:58until 4 a.m. on July 21,
04:01so that Nones could show that he was the first to message Sandro.
04:05In defense of Nones' lawyer,
04:07they did not deny who was the first to text,
04:10but they did not invite Sandro to the hotel room.
04:14They invited me to drink.
04:17Jojo told me.
04:20Then Sandro answered.
04:23Me too.
04:24Then Jojo answered again.
04:27Yes, soon.
04:28I will cast you.
04:29I am here now.
04:31Jojo told me.
04:32Wow, sir.
04:33Looking forward to that too.
04:35Then Jojo answered.
04:37Do you want?
04:38We have some alcohol here in the room.
04:41We can order some more.
04:43Sandro told me.
04:44Who are you, sir?
04:46Hahaha.
04:47Just me.
04:49And then,
04:51Sandro did not reply for a long time.
04:54Of course,
04:55when he saw that he was alone,
04:57he did not reply.
04:58He was afraid.
04:59He was afraid, right?
05:02Okay, so...
05:07Almost 30 houses in Basista, Pangasinan,
