00:07 More than a month after the deadline for SIM registration,

00:11 there are still no complaints about scams.

00:16 According to the telcos, the law is not in effect.

00:20 According to the NBI, the picture of the machine is on the online registration.

00:25 Mark Salazar is a witness.

00:27 [Music]

00:30 In December of last year, the SIM Registration Act was implemented.

00:35 The government said that it will help to ban tech scams.

00:41 But after the Senate Committee on Public Services heard about it,

00:45 there were still many complaints from the National Telecommunications Commission.

00:51 During the early phase of the SIM registration,

00:54 we noticed a decline in the tech scam complaint received in our office.

01:00 However, in the ensuing months, we again noticed a sharp increase of reported scams.

01:08 As of date ma'am, we have received a total of 45,697 complaints related to scams.

01:15 The NBI Cybercrime Division showed how easy it is to register a SIM card,

01:22 even if the picture is fake.

01:26 The NBI tried this on all the telcos and all of them failed.

01:31 Just last night, we tried to register.

01:34 We bought a SIM card from different telcos and we entered the face of an animal actually and different names.

01:41 We were still able to register.

01:43 The picture on the left, your honor, is a monkey.

01:47 It's a good thing that it's fake. If it wasn't, they wouldn't have given it to us.

01:51 The telcos said that many were prevented from implementing the rules and regulations of the SIM Registration Act.

01:57 That's why the seal was removed, just like the data privacy law.

02:01 That's why the applicants only asked for a few details and the punishment for fraud is low.

02:07 When the bill was being deliberated on, we asked to have access to government ID issuers

02:15 so that we can have a query system to see if the ID is valid or not.

02:21 That was a big issue back then.

02:26 Another thing we asked for was to have the National ID System fully implemented.

02:34 That's easier because there's biometrics.

02:37 That's the only thing that can stop it.

02:39 But the monkey in the picture, we can't see it because it's directly on the system.

02:44 SMART had processes in place to verify submitted information and data.

02:49 SMART also employed an optical character recognition technology,

02:54 not only to help SMART verify submitted information and data, but also to protect and secure its subscribers.

03:00 We have implemented three features of the SRA.

03:05 First is the ID-OCR that basically replicates the data or information that you can see in the ID into the data field.

03:17 The second is the face liveliness where the SRA platform recognizes or finds traces of biometrics.

03:27 There's the face matching where we've placed the IDs to the selfies.

03:34 With the cooperation of the NTC, ma'am, maybe we can amend the IRR.

03:41 Yes ma'am. Specifically now since we are doing the post registration validation.

03:48 The fraudulent SIM cards used in online scams and illegal POGO operations were also discussed.

03:59 More than 80,000 SIM cards were used. These are different SIM cards.

04:04 According to the NBI, 200 percent of reported cybercrimes were increased even though there's SIM registration.

04:12 It's also difficult to track them because of the long-term relationship with the telcos.

04:17 It would be very difficult to track them down. Actually, our processes with the telcos turned around on request.

04:26 Senate President Mig Zubiri agreed because he personally experienced this.

04:31 I was scammed but I didn't pay. I was caught. We were caught for scamming me.

04:37 Senators believe that the syndicate of cybercriminals is involved in POGO operations.

04:43 That's why they are now united in the committee in calling for the end of POGO.

04:48 Its share in the economy is only 0.03 percent and out of the 34,000 POGO employees, only 16,000 are Filipinos.

04:58 For GMA Integrated News, I'm Mark Salazar, your witness.

05:03 The government is preparing up to P15,000 in retail.

05:10 Now, many are wondering about the price ceiling of rice, how beneficiaries will be selected and when it will be targeted to be distributed.

05:18 Let's find out with the witness of Macky Polido.

05:20 Some sold their rice and some just closed their business.

05:27 We don't earn any profit here. We will lose if we close our business.

05:30 But they fulfilled their promise and we need to follow them.

05:33 But the sentiment of many rice retailers is one.

05:37 It's a loss if the 41 pesos price ceiling is followed by the regular milled and 45 pesos price ceiling for well-milled rice.

05:46 We don't earn any profit here. We will lose if we close our business.

05:49 The 41 pesos regular milled is yellow or broken.

05:53 Some are still buying it.

05:56 Some retailers are also following the price ceiling because they bought cheap rice from the supplier.

06:01 But they are selling only five kilos per family so that many can buy.

06:06 Some retailers are asking to reduce the stock of their expensive rice before the price ceiling is fulfilled.

06:13 The punishment for those who violate the price ceiling is not just a fine but a prison.

06:18 The heaviest punishment is economic sabotage, which is non-bailable.

06:22 Profiteering and other crimes that are against commercial interests of the people.

06:30 The government's answer to the retailers is to give up to P15,000 to the 5.5 billion pesos sustainable livelihood program of DSWD.

06:41 The program is aimed at beneficiaries, DTI and Department of Agriculture,

06:45 who will consult with the retailer associations to find small retailers.

06:50 The DSWD is waiting for the list from the so-called government.

06:54 They will also make parameters if P15,000 is the same or depends on what you bought.

07:01 According to our guidelines, it should be delivered to the retailer, not to the government.

07:05 The target of DSWD is to distribute the rice next week.

07:09 DTI should investigate it thoroughly.

07:11 That's why they are making a mechanism that has proof of purchase.

07:14 We are talking about a short period.

07:17 The purpose of this is to get rid of their expensive inventory.

07:23 That's what we will answer to the damages to them.

07:27 Under the EO39, the reason for the increase in the price of rice is evident.

07:32 Aside from the uncontrolled events in other countries,

07:35 the manipulation of the price of rice by the "Nangho Horde" traders is the reason.

07:39 The cartel is now in a turmoil when there was no incident.

07:42 Recently, seven warehouses in Bulacan were raided as part of the campaign against smuggling.

07:47 They were given time to prove that they are not guilty.

07:51 But if the illegal import of rice can be proven, it can be auctioned or donated to the government.

07:57 The price will be lowered.

08:01 For now, the price ceiling will remain until President Bompong Marcos leaves.

08:06 Some farmers are already affected.

08:08 The Federation of Free Farmers cooperatives is also affected because the farm gate price has already fallen following the price ceiling.

08:15 The fault of the "Nangho Horde" and the price manipulators is that the farmer is the one who will be responsible for the problem in the form of low rice prices.

08:26 We at the DA are strengthening our credit facilities in ACPC.

08:33 We have credit programs for farmers.

08:38 We have a rice program that supports the harvest, equipment, and post-harvest processing.

08:46 If we see that there is a change or the price has stabilized to the appropriate price,

08:53 the Department of Agriculture and DTI can recommend lifting this EO.

09:01 For GMA Integrated News, Macky Pulido, your "Saksi".

09:06 Some residents in Marikina lost their electricity because of the fallen posts.

09:12 I would like to ask the affected residents.

09:16 Our "Saksi".

09:18 These cables are just lying on the road in Sinto Holandes, Marikina.

09:26 The cables are tangled and there are other cables that are not able to pass through the area.

09:31 Two posts of electricity fell there after 11 a.m.

09:35 Some residents lost their electricity.

09:37 Rolando Flomino was also affected. He was forced to close his taxi area early in the morning.

09:42 His son is also using his internet connection at work.

09:47 Of course, there is no electricity.

09:49 We did not sell our crops. We were really hit by a big bullet.

09:54 We have nothing to do but to endure what happened.

10:00 There is nothing to be happy about.

10:02 According to Miralco, the electricity supply was restored at 8 p.m.

10:07 There were no injuries.

10:09 Miralco is also advising the owners of the affected areas.

10:13 The incident is being investigated.

10:15 Miralco is also asking for compensation to the affected residents.

10:19 Miralco is continuing its activities so that it will not happen again.

10:23 For JMA Integrated News, John Consulta, your "Saksi."

10:28 As for rice, the Department of Health will eat it.

10:37 They are looking for an alternative to rice.

10:40 This was discussed live in the "Saksi" by Nico Juaje.

10:44 Nico.

10:49 With the rising price of rice, alternatives like sweet potatoes and corn are needed.

10:56 The only question is, can Filipinos eat without rice?

11:01 You agree to eat without rice?

11:08 Oh my God, not in my body.

11:11 I can't.

11:13 Rice is really different.

11:15 No.

11:16 Of course, rice is needed for a person to be full.

11:19 We know that not all Filipinos can eat without rice.

11:24 Eating without rice is not enough.

11:27 But for the poor who have a high price of rice, it is time to look for an alternative.

11:33 DOH Undersecretary Eric Tayag said that it is possible.

11:38 We can have a rotation in our basic food requirements.

11:45 This has been proven for a long time.

11:50 For example, we have fellow Filipinos who are used to eating other foods other than rice.

12:02 For example, sweet potatoes, corn, and other cheap foods.

12:09 The question is, is it cheaper to replace rice?

12:14 Here in Mega Q Mart, we only saw one cheaper than rice.

12:18 That is a banana that costs Php 40 per kilo.

12:22 Corn is Php 80 per kilo, and so is sweet potatoes.

12:26 Potatoes are Php 140 per kilo.

12:31 Christian cannot replace rice with anything.

12:35 There is nothing to replace rice.

12:38 Rice is life.

12:40 He tried it once when he was on a diet, but...

12:43 I am just pretentious.

12:46 The filling of rice is different.

12:49 What about the sweet potato?

12:50 Are you not satisfied?

12:51 I am satisfied, but I think I need to eat 4 kilos first before I am satisfied.

12:56 Rice is really different.

12:57 Carlo can do it.

13:00 He can do it even with vegetables, as long as it is meat.

13:02 According to the Philippine Statistics Authority, rice is one of the biggest factors in the rise in the price of goods in August.

13:09 It rose by 8.7 percent.

13:12 The inflation rate was at 5.3 percent, or the price of goods rose rapidly in August.

13:17 This was followed by a slowdown in the prices of goods and services from January to July.

13:23 According to Undersecretary Tayag, it is not because of the high prices that we are short of food.

13:29 He is right.

13:30 Rice is really life for the Filipinos.

13:40 That is why I said earlier that they are just looking at buying rice now.

13:46 That is until the prices are not going down.

13:49 Live from Quezon City for GMA Integrated News, I am Nico Juahe, your witness.

13:56 President Bongbong Marcos gave the 43rd ASEAN Summit in Indonesia the strength of the economy in the ASEAN region.

14:03 According to the President, there should be a law that is equal to the countries in ASEAN and its trading partners.

14:10 This includes the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership, or RCEP, which was recently introduced by the Philippines.

14:17 ASEAN should also help to take care of migrant workers and to stop human trafficking.

14:23 The President also did not miss the discussion on climate change and food security that should be addressed.

14:29 The President also announced the preparations for the ASEAN chairmanship in 2026.

14:36 The Philippines will continue to call for more concerted efforts in intensifying regional and international cooperation,

14:47 especially in mobilizing resources to prevent and combat the abuse of technology in TIP.

14:55 Two typhoons are now hitting the coasts that are affecting the country.

15:11 The former typhoon Hana is now outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility and the typhoon Ineng, which could be a tropical storm.

15:19 According to the weather forecast, it will move to the north and gradually move away from the country.

15:23 If it doesn't change, it could be outside by the PIR tomorrow.

15:28 But the typhoon Ineng will still bring heavy rain and trough.

15:33 According to the Metro Weather, northern and central Luzon, some parts of Bicol Region and Mimaropa will still be raining.

15:39 Visayas will also be raining tomorrow, especially in the afternoon and evening.

15:43 The rain will also reach the San Juanga Peninsula, BARMM, Soxargen, Caraga and Davao Region.

15:51 The chance of rain in Metro Manila did not go away.

15:55 The 12-day air-raid suspension that was set by the MTRCB in its showtime is not yet final.

16:08 And the MTRCB also inhibited the chairperson Lala Soto in the vote on the issue.

16:14 Watch Nelson Canlax.

16:16 Following the decision to cancel the suspension of the noon time show, which was showtime yesterday.

16:26 We have received the ruling of the MTRCB.

16:30 We will now have a motion for reconsideration.

16:33 Because we believe that there was no violation of any law.

16:38 The MTRCB, Movie and Television Review and Classification Board, clarified that the suspension is not yet final.

16:47 According to the MTRCB chairperson Lala Soto, it was given 15 days for its showtime to have a motion for reconsideration.

16:57 With others, it can be suspended earlier.

17:01 But no, again, in the spirit of fairness, we are giving them the chance.

17:06 That's why they are not suspended today.

17:09 We will wait for its finality.

17:11 Soto is the daughter of former Senate President Tito Soto, who also has a noon time show in another station.

17:18 According to one comment, you are inhibiting the showtime. Is this true?

17:24 No, that is not true.

17:27 Maybe it's natural for supporters to be so random because they are hearing that it's always reported.

17:37 But the violations that you are doing is not the fault of the MTRCB.

17:42 In addition, the case of its showtime was initiated by the MTRCB board.

17:49 In one statement of the MTRCB, it said that Soto inhibited the showtime.

17:56 For GMA Integrated News, Nelson Canlas is your witness.

18:01 Back at home, all Pinoy members of the global pop group Horizon will debut in South Korea.

18:14 In the rain, Michael V will release a new parody.

18:18 Here is the showbiz witness of Katati Bayan.

18:23 The comedy genius Michael V is here again for the new parody.

18:27 If Lola Amor has a band called "Raining in Manila".

18:31 Waiting here in line is Lolo Canor, the Peggy of Bitoy who wore a rockstar outfit in the released poster.

18:38 The band was commented with a "Tears of Joy" emoji on Bitoy's post.

18:46 He replied with "You asked for it".

18:48 And as for the post, the wait will soon be over because the parody will be shown this coming Sunday on Bubblegum.

18:56 All Filipino global pop group Horizon will return to the country.

19:01 It is the next of three months of intense training and debut in South Korea.

19:05 They are proud to represent the country on the global stage.

19:10 It is also very memorable to meet their superstar idols like Jungkook of BTS.

19:17 When I saw Jungkook sunbaenim, my eyes were like...

19:20 He is so handsome.

19:23 Fans are looking forward to their first concert this September.

19:28 We did help in the album with one song.

19:31 It's a ballad and we're also going to be performing that song for the first time.

19:36 It's about our parents.

19:38 It's called "Mama".

19:39 Up for auction is an outfit of the later iconic singer-songwriter and Queen frontman Freddie Mercury.

19:46 It has become a big part of his music.

19:49 This is the piano where he composed the various songs.

19:53 It's a 1975 hit called "Bohemian Rhapsody".

19:57 It will be auctioned for 2 to 3 million pounds or equivalent to P214 million.

20:05 For GMA Integrated News, this is your witness.

20:11 [music]

20:16 You will be back someday to be a star like Barbie Fortezza in Fast Talk with Boy Abunda.

20:23 Barbie shared her preparations for the series.

20:27 Our witness.

20:29 [music]

20:33 Barbie Fortezza is dressed as Dino aka Monique in the upcoming series "Maging Sino Ka Man".

20:42 Barbie's mom is proud of her role.

20:44 The actress is also very proud of her role.

20:47 It's the first role played by Megastar Sharon Conetta in the original 1991 film.

20:53 Tito Boy and Barbie talked about how Barbie will change the character.

21:01 Definitely, I will do something different because there's no one like Megastar.

21:06 I will be the one who will put pressure on my part so that they won't see Clyde.

21:12 The pressure is on for Barbie.

21:15 But that's not new for the actress.

21:17 She has received many awards and nominations from various award-giving bodies.

21:23 For me, that's the reason why I became an actress.

21:28 I think the awards earn you respect from the people you work with.

21:35 It's one of my dreams to work with my idols.

21:40 Jack Roberto didn't miss his real-life boyfriend's talk.

21:45 He was among the success of his love team, David Licauco.

21:48 He didn't show me any reason to explain the situation to him.

21:54 I think it's because of our dreams to achieve this recognition.

22:01 It's also because of our friendship.

22:03 It's more of like maturity for the whole situation.

22:08 It's because of the three of us.

22:10 There's an anti-jealous class in Jack Roberto University.

22:15 David is for David Licauco, Celoso University.

22:19 What about Barbie?

22:21 I have Barbie Fortezza University, major in self-worth.

22:28 For GMA Integrated News, I am Obri Carambel, your witness.
