00:28 He said, "I miss you." He said, "I'm dying for you."

00:34 In this sweet-sounding words, the 70-year-old and two decades-old widow, grandma Ana Lee,

00:41 who doesn't have a real name, fell.

00:42 In December of last year, she made her first contact with a US citizen,

00:47 "I'm going to the Philippines to marry you."

00:50 But grandma's contact with him asked for a massage to go to the Philippines,

00:55 and she will pay triple.

00:58 Grandma sent a lot of money, up to 68,000 pesos.

01:02 She asked for an additional 30,000 pesos,

01:06 but the grandson of the victim noticed that the address sent by the money is in the Philippines.

01:12 The cashier said that this is the address of his agency in the Philippines.

01:16 I don't want to miss this opportunity.

01:18 I searched, and he has 12 friends in the market before,

01:24 tattoo artists.

01:26 I chatted with a tattoo artist in the market,

01:29 "When will you marry this man?"

01:32 "When?" "He's from another country."

01:35 "He's not an agent."

01:37 So this Monday, a complaint was filed against the original anti-sanctuary unit 11,

01:42 the grandmother, according to the police, was scammed by grandma Ana Lee.

01:46 Once you chat, you demand money,

01:50 and you make a reason.

01:53 Let's think about it.

01:54 The police is investigating this case

01:56 to find the suspect for possible involvement in the Sabre Crime Prevention Act of 2012.

02:02 In Cagayan, Dioro,

02:03 a 27-year-old man was injured in the hita

02:07 after he was shot near his house.

02:10 According to the police, this man has a gun,

02:13 a friend of the victim.

02:14 The victim even complained to the hospital that he did not give a statement.

02:18 The suspect was looking for a way to escape after the shooting.

02:22 The police was jealous.

02:25 After finding out that the victim was with a former girlfriend of the suspect.

02:30 The suspect filed a complaint of physical injuries and sexual assault

02:35 against a 7-year-old man in Lapulapo City.

02:39 The suspect admitted to being 25 years old,

02:42 that he injured the child,

02:43 but he did not move the child.

02:45 The suspect blamed and pleaded with the child's parents

02:48 not to sue him.

02:50 The child did not give a statement,

02:52 but the child denied his allegation.

02:55 For JMA Integrated News,

02:57 John Consulta, your witness.

03:01 The authorities are now investigating if there are any further bomb threats

03:06 in the incidents of hacking of victims of some government offices.

03:11 Witnesses in Lima, Refrang.

03:17 The Department of Education is now verifying

03:20 a report that the victim of hacking is a regional office

03:24 where the data of the students and teachers is compromised.

03:28 In a text message, the spokesperson of DEPED said

03:31 that they are now targeting the so-called "report".

03:34 DEPED did not release the details of the so-called office,

03:38 but they are now communicating with DICT for this.

03:42 DICT is also investigating the so-called "bombing".

03:45 Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center

03:48 is also looking into the incidents of hacking.

03:51 One of their inquiries is if there is any information

03:54 about the data hacking in the following incidents of bomb threats last Monday.

03:59 Why are the people in these particular offices being arrested?

04:04 Why not others?

04:05 Is this from one suspect or did many people send this?

04:12 In the latest news, 118 schools, government offices and private offices

04:20 were hit by bomb threats this Sunday.

04:23 42 of them are in Metro Manila.

04:26 That's why the PNP is taking the lead

04:28 in accepting two new bomb threats this day.

04:32 We cannot let this go unnoticed.

04:35 These kind of incidents are being taken seriously

04:38 by the PNP and other law enforcement agencies.

04:41 The Philippines is continuing to be hostile to the Japanese authorities,

04:45 especially one known as "Takahiro Karasawa" who sent an email.

04:49 But the Philippine CICC said that this is a case of stolen identity

04:54 that they have been entrusted to the Japanese authorities.

04:57 If he said that he's not the one, then who sent it?

05:01 Who are the people, individuals or organizations that control that account?

05:09 That's where our agency is focused.

05:12 It's established.

05:14 The Philippine CICC and their counterparts in Japan are already helping

05:19 to investigate and find out who's behind all of this.

05:24 For GMA Integrated News, I'm Rima Rafran, your "Saksi."

05:29 The illegal sale of guns in Cavite is being investigated.

05:33 There's even a gift wrapper?

05:35 "Saksi," John Consulta.

05:37 [music]

05:41 The vehicle being driven by the target of the Regional Intelligence Division

05:46 of the Calabarzon Police was quickly spotted

05:47 in their entrapment in Silang, Cavite.

05:50 When it was confirmed that the money paid for the gun was enough,

05:55 [music]

06:00 [shouting]

06:05 The suspect, Jefferson Makalima, was arrested.

06:09 A .45 caliber gun was recovered from him without a license.

06:13 It was wrapped in a gift-wrapped box and it had flowers.

06:18 The transaction of firearms is done through social media.

06:24 So they forced the monitor of the suspect.

06:28 He brought a lot of flowers.

06:30 We found out that he really covered the flowers

06:35 so that he wouldn't notice that he was delivering guns.

06:37 I was just told that it wasn't true.

06:40 Actually, I was just going to buy flowers.

06:46 The one I was going to get,

06:49 I was going to surprise my wife with that.

06:54 In the last operation in San Pablo, Laguna,

06:57 the Calabarzon Police used the house of the suspect,

07:01 Arvin Laing,

07:02 where a .45 caliber gun was recovered from the suspect without a license.

07:06 A concerned citizen called our police station

07:11 that there's a man who always shoots and releases guns.

07:18 The suspect hasn't been released yet.

07:20 One of the PNP-PRO4A,

07:23 the gun was confiscated during a ballistic examination

07:27 so that I can use it in shooting incidents.

07:29 For GMA Integrated News, John Consulta, your witness.

07:35 10 police officers were arrested in the service

07:39 after being involved in a questionable raid

07:41 in a condominium in Parañaque in 2023

07:44 as part of the crime of stealing and planting evidence.

07:50 John Generacion, your witness.

07:53 The CCTV video shows the money that was being handed out to the police

08:01 when a condominium in Parañaque was raided last September.

08:07 There's a witness with the raiding team

08:10 who was being given a paper bag of money.

08:13 It was taken out of the room.

08:17 The CCTV camera was moving.

08:20 After the raid,

08:23 the police saw the policemen coming down from the boxes.

08:26 But the only thing they were supposed to get were guns

08:28 based on the warrant they were holding.

08:31 The policemen declared that they had more than P4 million pesos in their report.

08:35 But there's also P27 million pesos.

08:38 When you bring pieces of evidence,

08:43 physical evidence outside the premises that you have raided,

08:50 without the benefit of documenting it,

08:55 you call it robbery.

08:57 It's plain robbery.

08:58 After a thorough investigation by the NCR Police Office,

09:01 10 police officers, including the one who was involved in the raid,

09:04 were dismissed from the service.

09:05 7 were demoted and 17 were suspended.

09:08 The robbery and planting of evidence was one of the violations seen in the investigation.

09:13 The firearms were established to be planted.

09:16 During the investigation,

09:18 someone said that we were ordered to plant it.

09:21 Clearance is still waiting in Malacanang

09:24 for the disciplinary proceedings against the two main suspects,

09:29 the former chief of the Southern Police District,

09:32 Police Brigadier General Roderick Mariano,

09:34 and Police Colonel Charlie Cabradilla.

09:37 We are still trying to get the police's evidence.

09:40 According to the PNP,

09:42 the action against the police who committed the questionable raid

09:45 proves that they are seriously cleaning their premises.

09:49 130 police officers were dismissed from the service in the first two months of the year.

09:54 To those who are still committing crimes,

09:58 this is a warning to them

10:01 that the leadership of the PNP will not hesitate to dismiss them from the service.

10:08 For GMA Integrated News, I'm your host, June Veneracion.

10:13 One of the first to fight against Chacha

10:17 was President Juan Miguel Sobirina,

10:20 who was charged by House Speaker Martin Romaldez.

10:24 I'm your host, Ian Cruz.

10:29 The leaders of the two groups are fighting against the Chacha issue.

10:33 But when it comes to the recent events of the Chief Presidential Legal Counsel, Juan Ponce Enrile,

10:39 Senate President Juan Miguel Sobirina and House Speaker Martin Romaldez

10:43 shook hands and hugged each other.

10:46 We said, "Let's work professionally. Stop fighting."

10:51 That's our message.

10:52 In the day of hearts, work together to pass legislation for our people.

10:57 Let's put aside the fighting.

10:59 Sobirina said that he wants to move on with most of his fellow senators.

11:05 But that depends on the House.

11:08 Sobirina also said that the Senate's investigation into the People's Initiative will not stop.

11:14 In yesterday's hearing on the People's Initiative,

11:18 the Acap or Ayuda sa Caposang Kita,

11:21 a project of the DSWD that was feared by some senators as a possible tool to get signatures.

11:29 According to Senator Aimee Marcos,

11:31 the Acap did not mention the budget deliberations of the DSWD.

11:35 She was the one who defended its budget.

11:38 In the Bicameral Conference Committee Report, it was said that it was already bicameral.

11:43 She also received information from an office in Camara

11:47 that said that programs like the Acap have already passed.

11:52 All soft requests, meaning those that are in the form of AECs, TUPAD, AECs,

11:58 will be passed through the Speaker's Office.

12:00 We know those AECs, TUPAD, and AECs,

12:05 but when they said Acap, I was surprised. I said, "What is that Acap?"

12:10 According to the DSWD, for those called near-pure Acap,

12:15 they are the ones who are not considered poor,

12:18 but they can be easily affected by the economic impacts, such as inflation.

12:25 Guidelines are still being formed,

12:27 so according to DSWD Secretary Rex Gatchalian,

12:30 not a single cent has been spent on the budget of the Acap.

12:34 There are still no guidelines, so we haven't been able to pay out.

12:37 We will not use all of the DSWD's programs for any political exercise.

12:43 Gate to Money House Senior Deputy Speaker Aurelio Gonzalez Jr.

12:47 Signed by Senators, the BICAM Report that contains the funds of the Acap.

12:51 Signed by Senators, along with Senator Marcos.

12:56 They approve it. In fact, Senator Ayumi signed this committee report, this BICAM.

13:02 They are stopped from speaking against or criticizing what they have approved,

13:09 unless they tell us now that voted yes without reading the budget or at least the conference committee report.

13:19 It's clear that last December, the BICAM met twice and discussed the Acap program of the DSWD.

13:30 This program, before our senators destroy it,

13:36 we are asking them not to do that.

13:39 We are still trying to get the opinion of Speaker Ron Waldez about Senator Marcos' allegations,

13:45 as well as about the meeting of the Senate leaders on the day of the election.

13:51 For GMI Integrated News, I am Ian Cruz, your witness.

13:55 In the beginning of the Corresma, many Catholics went down to the churches for Ash Wednesday.

14:02 Witness, Mackie Polido.

14:04 [music]

14:07 HHWW or Holding Hands While Walking, the Rubi and Wilfredo couple is here today

14:13 for the double celebration that they have organized.

14:16 Aside from Valentine's Day, it is also their 21st wedding anniversary.

14:20 And because of the presence of Ash Wednesday, the couple first dated in the Baclarang Church.

14:26 We prioritize serving and thanking our Lord God more than dating and eating at a restaurant.

14:35 Ash Wednesday is also the day of the heart and soul.

14:38 It is a chance to deepen and anchor our romantic or not romantic relationships in the love of the Lord.

14:45 At the end of the day, it is about God's ultimate sacrifice and love.

14:52 The devotees also attended the Chiapo Church.

14:56 The devotees also visited other churches in the province.

14:59 According to the Church, Corresma is now doing the 3M, praying, fasting, and doing charity.

15:05 So it is better to make the celebration simple on the day of the hearts.

15:09 The Catholics are praying for the old man.

15:12 According to Manila Archbishop Jose Cardinal Advincola,

15:15 "Remember that there is forever, but it cannot be found on earth."

15:19 "There is no forever, but it cannot be found on earth."

15:24 "For there is no forever on earth, but it is found in the Lord."

15:35 There is forever, but where?

15:40 Forever is the blessing from the heavens.

15:47 And this is the reason why the dust is like a cross that we will give back to our ancestors.

15:56 For GMA Integrated News, I am Mackie Pulido, your witness.

16:01 Couples, flowers, and dates.

16:06 In different parties, Filipinos have their own gimmick to sweeten the day of the hearts.

16:11 Witness, Mark Salazar.

16:15 Childhood sweethearts, and now the oldest couple who exchanged IDU in Gapan City, Nueva Ecija,

16:23 Sinabune Pacio, 77 years old, and Natividad, 76 years old.

16:28 This is their renewal of vows for their 50th anniversary.

16:32 At the same time, in Kasalang Bayan, where the LGU answers everything,

16:37 including attire, gifts, and bells.

16:40 The couple even went to mass weddings in different places.

16:44 Couple of the day, National Parks Development Committee, Sina Anita and Gregorio, 74 years old and 86 years old.

16:53 They even wore couple shirts while in Luneta, they celebrated Valentine's Day.

16:57 I'm single.

16:59 They have been together for half a century, and the secret is forgiving and forgetting.

17:06 For each other, they have been together their whole lives.

17:10 They were not allowed to have children.

17:12 I don't want to lose.

17:13 Why? Why didn't you have children?

17:15 We don't want to give, we are already half.

17:17 Oh, God.

17:18 That's why we enjoy life.

17:20 Just a little.

17:22 Just a little.

17:24 The police in Katanduanes have a gift and heart balloons for their residents.

17:32 They gave them to their motorists, rice and medical kits.

17:36 For senior citizens, they gave rice and groceries to the residents of Highway Patrol Group in Cabanatuan City, Nueva Ecija.

17:43 While they were having a fight, the witnesses were touched by a policeman

17:49 who gave them a gift in his house, a bag of fruits.

17:53 The husband of the police is also pregnant, so it's better to give healthy food for their baby.

18:00 The MMDA also gave roses to the Quirino Highway in Manila.

18:04 But the recipients were not happy.

18:06 They were stopped due to traffic violations.

18:09 The MMDA is giving valentines to those who are still parking their vehicles.

18:14 Valentine's tickets, sir.

18:16 It's okay, sir.

18:18 I was just kidding.

18:19 Are you happy? Are you happy that you received a red ticket?

18:22 No, I'm not happy with the ticket.

18:24 In Dangua, the robbers were not only stealing red roses,

18:28 but also the ones with different colors.

18:30 You don't have to choose the colors. Everything is already there.

18:33 Enrico will choose A for effort,

18:36 he will DIY a bouquet.

18:39 It's expensive to make it here.

18:41 That's why I studied to make it.

18:45 For JME Integrated News, Mark Salazar and your witness.

18:52 Ultimate Kilig is what their superstars will bring to their Valentine's Day celebration.

18:58 The Dantes Squad Team Family Day is now Heart's Day

19:03 in their walk in Batangas.

19:05 Heart Evangelista's birthday celebration is also sweet

19:10 where they captured their sweet moments of their hobby

19:13 which is to make a heart.

19:15 Seven Years Going Strong, Gabby Garcia and Kalil Ramos

19:18 in their Valentine's celebration with matching bouquets.

19:22 And for Jack B, Steak Night is Date Night

19:27 that is filled with love.

19:35 [music]

19:38 And for Julie, there's a duet this Valentine's Day.

19:42 [music]

19:46 [music]

19:48 Are you tired of falling for the wrong person?

20:12 Why are you looking at me?

20:14 Some girls in China, their boyfriends are AI.

20:18 Through an app, a chatbot can talk to a real boyfriend.

20:24 And according to their usage of the app, it doesn't just reply.

20:28 It becomes an emotional support when there's a problem.

20:32 According to the users of the app, it's a swap for those who already gave up

20:36 in a complicated relationship or are still looking for "the one".

20:41 Inspired by the chatbots of ancient Chinese characters

20:45 like princes, immortals, and knights.

20:49 [music]

20:51 Chris Aquino's battle continues among the people facing autoimmune diseases.

21:00 He's telling us about it in an exclusive interview with King of Talk, Boy Abunda.

21:05 And the witness is Aubrey Carampe.

21:09 Yes, actually...

21:11 Along with his 53rd birthday, Chris Aquino launched an exclusive interview via Zoom

21:15 from America in Fast Talk with Boy Abunda.

21:19 Chris shared his condition.

21:22 Not long ago, his doctors discovered the fifth autoimmune disease that affected him.

21:29 Right now, they're classifying it as an autoimmune mixed connective tissue disease.

21:37 Falling under that boy is either SLE or lupus, or it could be rheumatoid arthritis.

21:48 This is the reason why he had a butterfly rash.

21:51 Aside from that, he also has other diseases that affect his lungs.

21:55 It's my right lung, boy.

21:57 They saw that I have small nodules.

22:02 And it's true. If this is my lungs, you can see some scratch marks.

22:09 It's like there are some wounds.

22:11 Chris' diseases also affect his heart.

22:15 He believes that it's genetic because his father also has a heart problem.

22:20 According to Chris, he will be admitted to the hospital on Monday.

22:24 And there are medicines that he will try.

22:26 This is my chance to save my heart.

22:29 Because if this doesn't go away, I stand a very strong chance of having cardiac arrest.

22:39 In the middle of the incident, Chris thanked everyone who is praying and supporting him.

22:46 Whatever days are left, whatever is left, it's a blessing.

22:52 I really want to stay alive.

22:54 I'm alive now because I believe in prayer that I can still do this.

23:03 She also thanked her close friends and the GMA Network.

23:08 I want to say thank you also to you for making this happen.

23:11 Thank you to Mr. Duavid and Ms. Annette and everybody in GMA.

23:16 Because you gave me a venue to explain to people what's happening.

23:23 Chris said that she will do everything to make her life longer for the children of Josh and Bembi.

23:31 This is what I promise you.

23:33 I will not give up on you because I gave up.

23:37 There is nothing in my view of life that I can give up.

23:43 I have to fight.

23:45 I refuse to die.

23:47 I will really force myself because my next chapter is to become a stage mother.

23:55 For GMA Integrated News, I am Aubrey Carampel, your witness.

24:00 A Filipino bus driver in Croatia was given a nickname.

24:11 He was recognized for his bravery.

24:14 Benvenido Alivio successfully escaped the students of the bus.

24:20 He noticed that the bus was on fire.

24:23 Despite the fear, he managed to put out the fire.

24:26 The mayor of their city called Alivio.

24:30 The bus company said that they employed Alivio.

24:35 They explained that the reason for the fire was the broken gasoline pipe.

24:42 If there is a song with the word "Funny Valentine",

24:45 there is also a song with the word "Furry Valentine" by an animal welfare group.

24:50 And the date of the pet lovers, the dogs and cats.

24:55 Perfect date for Valentine's Day is the visit of some visitors to the animal residence of a shelter.

25:02 There is also a gift of P750 in return for the donation to the shelter.

25:07 There are now 170 dogs and 65 cats living there.

25:13 According to the Philippine Animal Welfare Society,

25:16 90% of the dogs and cats in their shelter were adopted by them from abuse.

25:22 Valentine's Day is also like a gift to the adopted animals.

25:27 Thank you, Egan, for your testimony.

25:31 I am Arnold Glavio.

25:33 I am Pia Arcangel for a bigger mission and a wider service to the country.
