[00:03:22] At this time and every day, it is my pleasure to greet our viewers
[00:03:26] by always giving them a warm welcome to our front-page broadcast.
[00:03:30] With Alejandra Forero, with great
[00:03:32] part of what is already the territory of La Guaira, pleasure we greet all of you who are well tuned in,
[00:03:35] hoping you had an excellent Tuesday. We begin with local
[00:03:39] news and this time with what was communicated by the
[00:03:43] Aruban police force through their social networks, two
[00:03:46] isolated incidents that have nothing to do with each other, but
[00:03:50] nevertheless are still under investigation. Two
[00:03:54] into total chaos. Everything was normal deceased were found yesterday in different locations,
[00:03:57] according to what the police force indicated.
[00:04:01] Two men were found dead yesterday, Monday, in different parts of
[00:04:05] Aruba in isolated incidents that are being investigated by the
[00:04:08] authorities, none had anything to
[00:04:11] energy, difficulty do with the other. The first case occurred at 6:15 in the morning
[00:04:13] when the police received a report about a body found on the coast of
[00:04:17] Bachelor Beach in the vicinity there at the Anchor. A patrol
[00:04:21] from San Nicolas went to the scene and confirmed the discovery of this lifeless
[00:04:25] man whose body was in an advanced state of
[00:04:27] decomposition. So far, the identity has not been established. At the
[00:04:31] scene were the forensic doctor, police
[00:04:35] personnel, investigators, the human trafficking unit, victim assistance, and
[00:04:38] the fire department.
[00:04:42] Later, in another incident that had nothing to do with the first, at
[00:04:46] 10:49 in the morning, a
[00:04:49] second discovery occurred, this time in the Primavera
[00:04:51] area. A person walking through the area
[00:04:54] saw a body among the vegetation and alerted the
[00:04:58] authorities. Upon arrival, the officers also found the lifeless body
[00:05:02] of this man in an advanced state of decomposition. The
[00:05:06] victim was identified as Glenn Obispa, born in
[00:05:09] Aruba, who had been missing for several days and was being
[00:05:12] sought by his family. Both cases occurred in
[00:05:16] different circumstances and remain under investigation.
[00:05:19] The Aruban police force expressed its condolences to
[00:05:23] the families and reminded that those who have information can
[00:05:26] call line 11 1 41 and remain
[00:05:30] anonymous.
[00:05:32] Changing the subject, minimum wage, housing, and
[00:05:36] also the cost of living were some of the topics that were discussed today
[00:05:40] by the disc. course of His Excellency the Governor of
[00:05:44] Aruba, this in commemoration of the beginning of the
[00:05:47] parliamentary year
[00:05:48] 2026-2027.
[00:05:52] A new parliamentary year opened its
[00:05:55] doors to continue working with vision, responsibility
[00:05:59] and commitment. The minimum wage, housing, health and
[00:06:02] economic diversification were some of the main
[00:06:06] announcements of the government of Aruba for the beginning of the
[00:06:09] parliamentary year 2026-2027.
[00:06:12] During the official opening, the governor, His Excellency, Mr.
[00:06:16] Alfonso Buckhaut, presented the executive's plans, which are
[00:06:20] centered on what is called shared prosperity. One of the
[00:06:23] central announcements is a new law to link the minimum
[00:06:27] wage to the subsistence minimum. The goal is that
[00:06:30] no worker earns less than what is necessary to cover their
[00:06:34] basic needs. The government assures that this
[00:06:37] measure will be accompanied by support for small and
[00:06:40] medium-sized enterprises. Also, there will be greater attention to
[00:06:44] affordable housing, the recovery of Orangestad and San
[00:06:47] Nicolas, improvements in neighborhoods, schools and
[00:06:50] monuments, in addition to new reforestation projects.
[00:06:54] In terms of health, the plan is to strengthen prevention,
[00:06:57] primary care and mental health, along with new protection
[00:07:01] measures for families with children with special
[00:07:04] needs. In economic matters, the government is committed to
[00:07:08] diversifying the economy and opening space for sectors such as
[00:07:11] financial technology, agriculture, the blue
[00:07:15] economy, creative industries and clean
[00:07:18] energy. Tourism will continue to be key, and while Aruba
[00:07:22] celebrates 40 years of separate status, the government assures that the
[00:07:26] challenge will be to combine economic growth with greater
[00:07:29] social well-being, security and a future
[00:07:32] vision for the island.
[00:07:35] The Department of Public Health has begun what
[00:07:39] is the school vaccination campaign for the children of the island.
[00:07:42] It is important that this year, for the first time, they are applying the vaccine against
[00:07:46] the human papillomavirus to children in class 6. This information
[00:07:50] is important for parents to keep in
[00:07:53] mind. during the national school
[00:07:57] vaccination campaign 2026-2027,
[00:08:00] the youth health section of the public health department
[00:08:04] offers the HPV vaccine, which is
[00:08:06] the human papillomavirus, to girls and, starting this year,
[00:08:10] it will also be for boys in sixth
[00:08:12] grade. The human papillomavirus is a very common virus that
[00:08:16] can cause different types of cancer later in
[00:08:20] life, both in women and also in men who can contract the
[00:08:24] virus and develop HPV-related cancer.
[00:08:27] The vaccine is offered at an early age because it provides
[00:08:31] protection before a person is exposed to the virus, that
[00:08:35] is, through sexual relations. By vaccinating both
[00:08:38] girls and boys, Aruba is protecting against the human
[00:08:42] papillomavirus and contributes to preventing different types
[00:08:46] of cancer in our population. Before
[00:08:49] vaccination, parents or legal representatives
[00:08:52] receive information and a consent form. Without
[00:08:56] authorization, this youth section will not administer the vaccine. For
[00:08:59] questions or more information, you can contact 5:22
[00:09:03] 4200.
[00:09:07] We begin our international
[00:09:13] round in Colombia, because about four weeks more or less
[00:09:17] after this unfortunate earthquake in the coffee
[00:09:21] region, many Pereirans have to
[00:09:24] start from scratch after their commercial premises
[00:09:28] were not only damaged by the earthquake, but also because
[00:09:31] unfortunately they were later looted. The director of
[00:09:35] Caracol news has the report.
[00:09:38] For four weeks now, this has been the
[00:09:43] daily bread in one of the most commercial sectors of the coffee
[00:09:46] region and of Colombia.
[00:09:49] Clearing debris, lifting remains of
[00:09:52] stores, offices, complete buildings that the
[00:09:55] earthquake took on August 10th. This was my business, it was
[00:09:59] an electrical business, lighting and
[00:10:02] hardware, look and see how it has turned out, besides the fact that
[00:10:05] we were left with practically nothing, the little
[00:10:08] we had left was taken away. They looted us, I can't
[00:10:11] believe it, the people who have nothing to do with the issue
[00:10:15] took away the little we had left, they were taking
[00:10:19] little things, little things until look, look how everything is left, they are even
[00:10:22] taking the walls to take the cables, that is the saddest thing, that after
[00:10:26] coming from a tragedy like this, they come and loot you, after
[00:10:30] having difficulties with mumps, yes, of course, and they come and loot the little
[00:10:33] that is left, the drama of this man is translated into figures, the
[00:10:37] losses exceed 355 billion
[00:10:40] pesos, 620 businesses completely
[00:10:43] collapsed, 1800 have serious
[00:10:46] damage, 1600 more have minor damage and more
[00:10:50] than 2,500 lost all their merchandise.
[00:10:54] The story is repeated on every
[00:10:58] corner of the city center, here there is
[00:11:01] clothing, shoes, jewelry, cell phones, toys, in
[00:11:05] short, everything, only a fortunate few can
[00:11:08] reopen and, a paradox of destiny, they open their doors to
[00:11:12] reactivate sales when their neighbors pick up what was left to them
[00:11:16] among the ruins, but here the only thing destroyed is the
[00:11:20] material, here the heart of the Pereirans and of our
[00:11:23] merchants, is more active than ever, with a great desire to
[00:11:27] reactivate and with the desire to rebuild and reactivate our center of
[00:11:30] Pereira, I just spoke with a gentleman there who lost everything, those in front
[00:11:34] lost everything, these premises are closed, these
[00:11:37] buildings are many of them to be demolished,
[00:11:41] how do you lift not only the spirits but also the morale of the people
[00:11:45] who have worked here for so many years to say come
[00:11:48] let's start over a life of commerce, of
[00:11:51] work, of entrepreneurship? I believe that if there is one thing that merchants have, and
[00:11:55] especially merchants in Pereira, it is
[00:11:58] resilience, and we have been able to see it here, there are many affected
[00:12:01] businesses that the next day went to
[00:12:04] fix their things, they went to take out the merchandise from the affected
[00:12:08] premises, but the only thing that was affected, as I told you, was the
[00:12:12] infrastructure, the heart remained intact, they went to look for
[00:12:15] new premises, to reopen in new warehouses, to generate new
[00:12:19] opportunities despite the situation. For the mayor of
[00:12:23] part of the drama, there are more than 24 homes in his
[00:12:27] city in Pereira destroyed by the earthquake, a monumental
[00:12:31] challenge that is also translated into figures, in
[00:12:35] reconstruction that will take years, well, at the
[00:12:38] moment there is an announcement about the creation of the Miracle fund, we are
[00:12:41] waiting for the regulations to be issued, the regulatory
[00:12:45] decrees at the national level, pertinent to the
[00:12:49] route for the reconstruction of these cities
[00:12:52] affected by the earthquake, tomorrow precisely we already have a
[00:12:56] meeting with the manager designated by the president to
[00:12:59] define those steps to follow, those steps imply something that is
[00:13:03] key, money, resources, how much is needed to rebuild
[00:13:06] Pereira? Preliminarily we have an
[00:13:09] estimated 10 billion
[00:13:13] pesos, 10 billion for Pereira, 10
[00:13:16] billion for Pereira only, and
[00:13:19] well, effectively we achieve this with financial
[00:13:22] resources, we do our part here, and
[00:13:25] well, we are in that, but it is the national government that has
[00:13:29] to make the greatest effort and well, we are confident that this will
[00:13:32] happen. In Venezuela, families are also
[00:13:35] trying to rebuild their lives after the two
[00:13:39] earthquakes that affected them on June 24th. Many
[00:13:43] families indicate that despite the help that has arrived, they still
[00:13:46] need much more to be able to move forward.
[00:13:50] More than an hour from Caracas.
[00:13:53] If you travel by car in the most remote
[00:13:57] there is a community that is trying to recover not only from the
[00:14:00] earthquakes, but also from oblivion, it is called Las
[00:14:03] Medinas. They were all Medinas, the cousins, the aunts, the
[00:14:06] sisters, everyone, that's why that sector is
[00:14:09] called Las Medinas, their family and their neighbors not only share the
[00:14:13] surname, but also the calamity.
[00:14:16] A tremor, the truth, I
[00:14:20] never imagined that this was going to happen. Today they can see a
[00:14:24] different dawn from their new homes donated by the international
[00:14:27] organization Techo. Techo has been around for more than 30 years and today
[00:14:31] it reaches 18 countries. They have already installed 17 of
[00:14:35] the 200 houses planned for Venezuela. We have worked in more than 50
[00:14:39] emergencies. We have built more than 35 modules. The local
[00:14:42] and foreign volunteers are vital, they provided a solution
[00:14:45] and mainly quality of life, because even sleeping was
[00:14:48] impossible. The truth, the first time I slept,
[00:14:52] I felt relief
[00:14:56] because it shows that it is at high risk, it has a red
[00:15:00] card, I sit in the kitchen of my house at night when everything is in
[00:15:03] silence and the walls crack, despite the fact that their houses
[00:15:07] were about to collapse, they had to take shelter there because
[00:15:10] government aid never arrived, attention to a young man with
[00:15:14] reduced mobility due to a congenital condition was
[00:15:17] a priority, today he is recovering from the emotional
[00:15:21] impact, a piece of
[00:15:23] wall on his head and everything, but thank God it didn't go any
[00:15:27] further, after that I was
[00:15:31] in shock, I was like...
[00:15:34] traumatized, so to speak, Techo's works will continue in Venezuela, similar to those
[00:15:37] that are also carried out in Colombia, and now they made
[00:15:41] me a happy home,
[00:15:44] and I have a
[00:15:46] canal, making the affected visible and
[00:15:49] helping them has been the great
[00:15:52] reward. And now we go to Ecuador where,
[00:15:56] in the last few hours, four Venezuelan citizens were
[00:16:00] deported by the authorities after they posted
[00:16:03] videos mocking the authorities and also, it seems,
[00:16:07] because they are delivery drivers. According to what has
[00:16:10] been reported, thanks to social media, they managed to
[00:16:12] capture them. The government of Ecuador.
[00:16:16] Over the weekend, this
[00:16:17] video went viral on social
[00:16:20] media, in which four Venezuelan citizens who were making
[00:16:24] home deliveries were mocking the new rules that will govern
[00:16:28] Ecuador for delivery
[00:16:32] and ask them to suck it with their new rules, we will still
[00:16:35] be eating, with passport or without
[00:16:38] passport we will still be making money, in the video
[00:16:41] they also defied a possible deportation, and
[00:16:44] if they deport me I'll come back and keep being a delivery driver
[00:16:48] just so you know, but the mocking tone didn't last
[00:16:51] long, this Sunday the Minister of the Interior John
[00:16:54] Reymberg published a video in which he reported that the four
[00:16:57] citizens were deported along with
[00:17:01] the images. The minister warned that no one is above the
[00:17:04] law, it is that the reforms to the traffic law regulate for the first time
[00:17:07] the delivery service in Ecuador and create a national registry of
[00:17:11] delivery drivers that will be in charge of the national transit
[00:17:15] agency, among the new provisions is that delivery drivers
[00:17:19] must have specific permits for the
[00:17:22] service, in the case of foreign drivers they must validate
[00:17:25] in Ecuador the license obtained in their country of
[00:17:28] origin, keep their migratory documents valid, the use of
[00:17:31] approved helmets and visible reflective vests will also be
[00:17:34] mandatory, and while making deliveries, drivers will not
[00:17:38] be able to carry accompanying passengers, these measures
[00:17:41] seek to strengthen control over delivery service, given
[00:17:45] the alerts that people dedicated to criminal activities may
[00:17:48] use this activity as a facade to commit robberies,
[00:17:52] assaults or other crimes. The draft reforms
[00:17:56] to the traffic law were approved by the full National Assembly
[00:18:00] and now must be sent to the President of the Republic who
[00:18:03] may sanction or object to it.
[00:18:07] And we return to Bogotá, the capital of Colombia. In the last few hours, two
[00:18:10] people were arrested by the authorities because they
[00:18:14] pretended to be
[00:18:16] alleged medical surgeons and had already performed
[00:18:21] surgeries. Not only had they made a fake
[00:18:24] diploma, but they were also endangering the lives of their
[00:18:28] patients: with the aim of materializing
[00:18:31] two arrest warrants. This is the moment in which
[00:18:35] Esteban Felipe Enao and Ruth Verónica Lingua Jaramillo, a
[00:18:37] couple who, according to the prosecutor's investigation, posed as
[00:18:41] medical surgeons, were arrested in Bogotá. In search and seizure
[00:18:45] operations, the CTI of the Prosecutor's Office found in the couple's home
[00:18:48] elements used to perform various invasive procedures,
[00:18:52] such as syringes, needles, medications and medical elements. They also
[00:18:55] had false diplomas with which they apparently
[00:18:59] accredited a supposed professional training that, according to the
[00:19:03] prosecutor's office, never existed. In the indictment hearing, it was revealed that
[00:19:06] Esteban Felipe Enao sought to accredit his false diplomas before
[00:19:10] health authorities. He directly performed
[00:19:14] various cosmetic surgeries on the victims,
[00:19:17] without having any type of medical training or sanitary
[00:19:20] authorization or anything related to health, you are
[00:19:24] a high school graduate. The investigation began to take shape with the testimonies of the victims
[00:19:27] according to the accuser, they performed irregular procedures on
[00:19:30] about 200 people, after being attracted through social
[00:19:34] networks with promotions and attractive prices. With only the payments made
[00:19:38] by 59 of the people identified in the investigation, the
[00:19:41] couple would have received more than 568 million
[00:19:45] pesos. The prosecutor's office documented some cases in which the victims
[00:19:48] woke up during the surgeries and, given the
[00:19:51] manifestations of pain, the now prosecuted individuals allegedly
[00:19:55] covered their mouths and held them down to prevent them from screaming. For this
[00:19:58] reason, the couple was individually charged with the crimes of
[00:20:01] conspiracy to commit a crime, mass fraud and material falsehood
[00:20:05] in a public document in an aggravated manner, in addition to procedural
[00:20:09] fraud, charges that were accepted by those who, according to the prosecutor's
[00:20:12] office, had for years worked as fake
[00:20:15] doctors. We'll take a commercial
[00:20:19] break, but we'll be back with more
[00:20:23] information. September, Suicide Prevention Month in the United
[00:20:26] States.
[00:20:28] Our story was built by
[00:20:31] Septiembre, mes de prevención del suicidio en los Estados
[00:20:34] Unidos.
[00:21:24] people, neighbors helping neighbors, standing side
[00:21:28] by side with those who trust us, to protect what matters
[00:21:31] most and help build our communities,
[00:21:35] being there when needed most,
[00:21:38] across borders, across
[00:21:42] generations, still growing,
[00:21:45] still giving, still just getting.
[00:21:48] We continue with more information
[00:23:36] through Front Page. September is a month in which in countries
[00:23:39] like the United States, awareness is generated about
[00:23:45] prevention for mental health. What is the main
[00:23:49] theme this year? Today on Front Page we talk about your health, so
[00:23:52] take care of it.
[00:23:54] It is a very common problem in
[00:24:04] the United States. In 2024, suicide was
[00:24:07] responsible for nearly 49 deaths and
[00:24:10] the rate among men was almost four times higher
[00:24:14] than among women.
[00:24:17] Clinical psychologist David
[00:24:22] Alperovit points out that, although men account for almost
[00:24:26] 80% of all suicide deaths,
[00:24:30] around 60% of those men were not
[00:24:33] receiving help as they had no documented mental health
[00:24:36] history. He says that warning signs of depression
[00:24:40] can be more subtle in men and
[00:24:44] include irritability, frustration, outbursts of
[00:24:47] anger, social isolation, physical
[00:24:51] stress, substance use or abuse, and also
[00:24:54] more typical symptoms such as changes in sleep and
[00:24:58] appetite, decreased
[00:25:01] concentrating, loss of interest or
[00:25:04] enjoyment in activities that were previously pleasurable.
[00:25:07] There is a traditional cultural notion that men should be
[00:25:11] stoic and self-sufficient and that expressing their
[00:25:14] feelings is not a strength but a weakness.
[00:25:18] He states that this narrative must change, which is why
[00:25:21] he recommends starting a calm and pressure-free
[00:25:25] conversation with a loved one you are concerned about, starting
[00:25:28] with an observation like "it seems you're carrying a lot of weight on
[00:25:32] your shoulders" and creating a space for the person to
[00:25:35] respond.
[00:25:36] And now it's time for our most
