00:02 Live from the GMA Network Center,
00:05 20 years of news, 24 hours.
00:09 [Newsreel Music]
00:12 Good evening, Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
00:15 A teacher was arrested for trying to kidnap a student inside a classroom in Pangasinan.
00:24 And the police investigated that he did this several times to a 12-year-old victim.
00:30 Deped Region 1 is waiting for the formal complaint to start its own investigation.
00:36 Russell Simorio of GMA Regional TV, One North Central Luzon.
00:41 [Newsreel Music]
00:44 The 12-year-old male grade 6 pupil is afraid.
00:48 He was arrested after molesting his male teacher inside a public elementary school in Santa Barbara, Pangasinan.
00:57 According to the teacher, the teacher let him in on Sunday morning, May 12, for a graduation ceremony.
01:05 But there was no practice.
01:07 Instead, he was locked inside a classroom and buried in a broken part of the body.
01:14 The child was like a ghost when he went home.
01:18 My son cried when he complained to me.
01:21 I don't want him to go inside because my teacher is rude.
01:26 What did he do? And he told me what happened to him.
01:29 I can't control my anger, but for my son, it's painful as a mother.
01:37 The mother immediately complained to Santa Barbara PNP.
01:40 The male teacher was arrested for a follow-up operation.
01:44 The news team tried to get him to give a statement at the police station, but he refused.
01:50 The children complained, so the parents accompanied him.
01:56 He has complained many times.
01:59 The news team went to the school where the incident happened, but the principal was not there.
02:05 According to DepEd Region 1, they are waiting for the formal complaint
02:10 that the victim's family will be slapped to start the investigation of the incident.
02:15 But just in case, the result of the investigation or inquiry by the department,
02:22 there is a co-collection of actions by the Department of Education.
02:26 There should be an official complaint, the parents.
02:31 The child's family is not allowed to file a formal complaint against the teacher.
02:37 For GMA Regional TV 1 North, Sanchez, Luzon and GMA Integrated News,
02:43 Rassel Simorion, 24 Hours.
02:47 Four people were arrested for not facing the court for the annulment of the child,
02:55 as well as for late registration of the birth certificate.
02:59 The child is worth more than P300,000 and has a lawyer and a judge.
03:06 John Consulta was arrested.
03:08 When the child was arrested, the NBI Cyber Crime Division arrested their target in this coffee shop in Quezon City.
03:19 The husband of the child with a non-appearance annulment of the birth certificate has no escape.
03:27 We are with the NBI.
03:29 Two other people were also arrested for not facing the court for the annulment of the child and late registration of the birth certificate.
03:36 According to the NBI, the separation of the operation was based on the complaint of the Supreme Court.
03:42 There are lawyers and judges who were also involved in the non-appearance annulment application.
03:48 Those who were arrested were offered a 100% "legit" annulment process, non-appearance.
03:58 So as long as you're willing to pay, I think it's P350,000 per process.
04:03 You don't have to do anything, you just have to wait for their process.
04:07 Then they will return the document to you and it's done.
04:09 They were shown real docs from the court.
04:14 The lawyers and judges were really signed there.
04:19 They named the lawyers and judges who were behind this, who were paying and the process was becoming easier.
04:29 Another thing that is a concern is the process of the suspects in the birth certificate of those who are replacing the registration.
04:37 It's alarming in the sense that based on our intelligence, there are foreigners using local mules.
04:46 These local mules will apply for late registration.
04:50 If they get the docs, the foreigners allegedly will utilize it.
04:55 You can get barangay clearance, municipal clearance and whatever.
05:00 At the same time, this can be a starting process if you want a passport.
05:08 One of the suspects is complaining about his income.
05:13 They said they will provide the requirements and they will be in charge of filing.
05:21 But they didn't say who will be the attorney.
05:24 But they said 100 percent because they posted something on PSA.
05:30 I am blaming them for filing this.
05:35 She is facing and other suspects in the complaint of Estafa in relation to cybercrime and computer-related forgery.
05:42 They are now in jail in the NBI detention facility in Belibid.
05:46 The Supreme Court thanked the NBI for the swift action against the suspects.
05:52 For GMA Integrated News, John Consulta.
05:55 The court is now in session for 24 hours.
05:58 China Coast Guard performed various activities in Panatagshol,
06:03 a day before the delivery of supplies of a civilian group.
06:08 Joseph Moro is now in session.
06:10 In this video of the CCTV of the Chinese TV station run by Reuters,
06:18 the Chinese Coast Guard showed their activities in the emergencies of Scarborough Shoal or Panatag Island.
06:24 There are drowned people who need to be rescued and their Coast Guard is ready to deploy.
06:30 This was released before the civilian mission was established in Panatag Shoal that will be released tomorrow.
06:36 The civilian mission showed that the water in Panatag Shoal is sufficient for the Exclusive Economic Zone or EEZ of the Philippines.
06:44 They will place buoys and supply will be given to fishermen.
06:48 We should normalize and regularize civilian access in the West Philippine Sea.
06:54 If China is militarizing our own Exclusive Economic Zone, we're there to civilianize our own seas.
07:03 Because at the end of the day, we stand by our belief that the West Philippine Sea should be accessible to 49 citizens.
07:16 In the satellite image of the maritime expert, Ray Powell, the Chinese vessels that are in Panatag Shoal are increasing.
07:23 There are now 29 Chinese maritime militia vessels and 5 Chinese Coast Guard.
07:28 But our mission is not in our hands.
07:31 We are now riding the Coast Guard boat that will patrol the lower of the Manzilnok
07:36 to ensure that the civilian mission of our group is safe, even though it is not the government's activity.
07:43 The priority is to ensure safety. We are not there to do that.
07:49 Our waterlines and our injected vessels are with us.
07:52 At the same time, we are open to coordination and communication.
07:56 So that if something happens, it will be easier to respond.
08:01 The Philippines and America held the first space dialogue to strengthen cooperation in civil space matters
08:09 including the use of space for maritime domain awareness.
08:14 For GMA Integrated News, Joseph Morong, Nakatutok 24 Horas.
08:18 A hospital in Pasay City was attacked by POGO workers who are using drugs.
08:25 Aside from the fact that this person does not have a license to operate,
08:28 this person also does not have a working permit.
08:30 His relatives are doctors and nurses.
08:32 This is what Rafi Tima is targeting.
08:35 [Music]
08:37 Outside the building, this is a clear medical facility.
08:43 Although it is written in Chinese characters, there is a small English translation
08:47 of the services they provide in the Thaian Clinic and Laboratory.
08:52 The facility was raided not far from the Senate building in Makapagal Boulevard in Pasay.
08:59 The Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission has received a report that a hospital operates here.
09:05 Upon checking, there is no hospital in this area with a license to operate.
09:10 So upon that report, we conducted an intelligence visit on these people.
09:17 We found out that there is a hospital here and doctors and nurses
09:23 who do not have a license to practice medicine and nursing in the Philippines.
09:27 The PAOC is wondering if this was raided based on the statement of the Filipino government.
09:32 Ideally, this should not be operated.
09:34 So if this was reported to us three weeks ago, it should have been closed when we entered.
09:39 It is clear that the patients of this facility are not Filipino.
09:43 According to the PAOC, POGO workers are their priority patients.
09:47 Here, the wounded, the patients who are infected, the COVID patients who are infected run.
09:56 Since they do not have any documents in their bodies, they rather go here to these hospitals.
10:01 This clinic or small hospital is fully equipped.
10:04 Aside from examination tables like this, they also have a hemodialysis machine.
10:09 According to the authorities, this facility has been operating for several months now.
10:13 It is hidden in restaurants in this part of Pasay.
10:17 In this room, you can see one of the expensive items that can only be seen in hospitals or large clinics
10:23 like this ECG machine and this ultrasound.
10:27 But one of the things that the authorities are wondering when they entered this facility,
10:31 this back door has a possible indication that the people operating here know that they are doing something illegal.
10:39 The wounded inside were all admitted at first,
10:45 like this man who is giving a prescription to the raiding team.
10:49 I am not a doctor. I am not a doctor.
10:51 But then, he admitted.
10:53 I am a Vietnamese doctor.
10:55 What are you doing here in this clinic?
10:58 I visit only.
10:59 You visit?
11:00 Yes, I visit.
11:01 A Vietnamese and a Chinese doctor were brought in by the raiding team,
11:04 along with a foreign pharmacist and nurse.
11:07 After investigating and obtaining the relevant documents,
11:10 the foreign patients were released while the foreign doctors and nurses were detained at the Bureau of Immigration
11:16 and will face criminal and immigration violations.
11:20 The facility was immediately closed and locked.
11:23 The PO is still investigating who owns the facility
11:27 and is asking the Pasay LGU if they have obtained a permit.
11:31 According to our reports, this is not the only clinic like this.
11:34 There are many like this in Metro Manila.
11:36 So, I said, it is an underlying problem indicative of a much larger problem
11:41 that is a big problem that POGO is trying to bring to our country.
11:46 The Pasay LGU confirmed to GMA Integrated News that the facility is not permitted.
11:51 It was inspected by their staff and explained before the raid last night.
11:56 The show was on.
11:58 There is no permit.
12:00 In fact, we also asked the administrator of the building
12:07 to let us know if their businesses need a permit.
12:15 For GMA Integrated News, Rafi Tima has the story.
12:19 The electricity bill rose this April.
12:24 It is the effect of the yellow and red alert last month
12:28 when the country's supply and reserve of electricity is lacking.
12:32 Maki Pulido has the story.
12:34 This is the fear we have of rising electricity bills
12:41 due to the decrease in the supply of electricity last month.
12:44 Annie's bill from P8,900 this April is now P13,700.
12:51 When the face-to-face classes were suspended due to the rise in the heat index,
12:55 the only child at home is in the afternoon, so they were forced to use air-conditioning.
13:00 It is very hot, ma'am.
13:02 We were forced to face it before.
13:04 That's why we can't.
13:07 Annie's consumption increased, but the cost of electricity bill also increased.
13:11 It increased to P26 per kilowatt hour,
13:14 so the consumer's bill is P11.41 per kilowatt hour.
13:18 The biggest impact of the rise is the price of the electricity purchased by Meralco
13:22 from the wholesale electricity spot market when the bill was red and yellow alert
13:27 due to the lack of supply and reserve of electricity.
13:30 If there are alert levels, that simply means there is pressure
13:35 as far as demand is concerned, which also impacts the price.
13:42 The increase in electricity bills is higher in some provinces
13:45 where all the electricity supplied by electric cooperatives was purchased from the spot market.
13:50 In Catanduanes, the increase in electricity bills is more than P7,
13:53 so the bill is now P13 per kilowatt hour.
13:57 In Dumaguete, the increase in electricity bills is P4 to P5 per kilowatt hour.
14:02 The Philippine Rural Electric Cooperatives said that
14:05 some of its members may have borrowed from the anti-bill shock program of the land bank
14:09 to make it more clear that their customers will pay instead of one-time big time.
14:14 There is no other way.
14:16 The consumers will still pay the increase in the price of the generation.
14:20 Because this is the only effect of the rise in the generation charge,
14:24 the Power for People Coalition said that corporations should investigate
14:28 the behind-the-scenes of the plant's mistakes, which is why there are red and yellow alerts in the heat.
14:33 They could have earned money from the spot market
14:36 because their plants sold expensive electricity.
14:40 The government agencies themselves show in their reports
14:46 that those who enforce shutdowns are also some of the companies
14:52 that are throwing electricity in the market at a very high price.
14:58 That needs to be investigated.
15:00 Like some people's life, the replacement for high electricity bills
15:03 is Judy Lin, a single mom and dialysis patient,
15:06 who is paying electric bill and other expenses.
15:09 She said she probably doesn't drink other medicines that she needs to drink.
15:13 I'm nervous because it's our monthly obligation, that's why we're preparing.
15:19 The problem is that it's expensive.
15:22 It's expensive, so it's a headache where you'll get it.
15:27 Monthly.
15:28 For GMA Integrated News, Mackie Pulido was arrested 24 hours.
15:32 There are still many motorists who do not follow the traffic laws.
15:38 Even though there are signages that say "No parking".
15:41 Oscar Oida was arrested.
15:47 Despite the signs that say "No parking",
15:50 some buses and private vehicles still parked
15:53 in this part of Makapagal Boulevard in Paranaque.
15:56 That's why the driver of the MMDA was arrested.
15:59 It's not allowed to park on the side of the road because it is a highway.
16:04 So it is meant to be used by vehicles and the traffic will be fast here.
16:09 Most of those who parked, ate in the street vendors.
16:14 That's why even the street vendors are being removed by the MMDA.
16:18 I'm not prohibiting you from looking for a job.
16:20 But for us, you need to be in a proper place.
16:22 Please talk to us, please remove us because if we return tomorrow or the next day, I will confiscate you.
16:28 They said that they're ready to follow the vendors we talked to.
16:31 But...
16:32 I don't want to. We're all addicted to the vendors.
16:35 The illegal parking of vehicles on the side of a school was blocked by the enforcers.
16:41 In the Kilino Extension, in the middle of Barangay Don Galo in Paranaque.
16:45 The drivers were stopped while the unattended vehicles were being pulled.
16:51 However, the MMDA ran out of tow trucks.
16:54 That's why the ticket was left for the other unattended vehicles.
16:58 What we want is the continuous mobility of the vehicles.
17:01 After the last quarter of yesterday, the MMDA blocked the illegal parking
17:07 on the side of Panay Avenue in Quezon City.
17:10 Like the previous ones, the unattended vehicles were pulled.
17:14 This one has a driver, but his vehicle is in the middle of the road.
17:20 He doesn't have a driver's license.
17:22 He only talked to the driver.
17:23 He will also be charged for the tow truck of the MMDA.
17:27 I will finish this. There's nothing else I can do.
17:29 And I won't leave this place.
17:31 The MMDA also didn't let other vehicles pass such as illegal signages.
17:37 There's also a bicycle.
17:39 First and foremost, this is a living lane, Panay Avenue.
17:43 Second, this is also part of the alternate routes that we have set forth
17:47 for the closure of our Kamuning Flyover Rehabilitation.
17:50 So it's really important to ensure that the roads here,
17:55 not only Panay Avenue but also other alternate routes,
17:58 are cleared of any forms of obstruction.
18:01 For GMA Integrated News, Oscar Oida, in Tutok, 24 Hours.
18:08 Good news, Kapuso, because there's a mid-year bonus
18:11 equivalent to a bank salary for the government employees starting tomorrow.
18:15 According to the Department of Budget and Management,
18:17 all civilian personnel, including those in other branches of the government
18:23 and institutions, as well as military and uniformed personnel,
18:27 are qualified to receive unpaid work for four months
18:31 from July 1, 2023 until May 15.
18:34 Government employees are still employed until the promised date of the bonus
18:39 and the satisfactory score is obtained in the performance rating period.
18:43 It is also being studied if the government employees will be paid more.
18:47 The Budget Department of the Final Report Company is expected to submit
18:51 this in the next month.
18:53 Senators are one by one pointing out the problems in their countries.
18:59 These are the ones who are already affected by tourism.
19:02 And MAV Gonzales was in Tutok.
19:04 Broken aircon, broken escalator, and broken bathroom.
19:11 These are just a few of the problems in the airports of the country
19:14 that are being left behind by the Senate Committee on Public Services.
19:18 It's often dirty, hot, and the facilities are broken.
19:22 The services are lacking, whether it's domestic or international.
19:27 Flight delays, cancellations, and of course, because of that, we have a recipe for disaster.
19:33 If this is the only way we will improve,
19:37 who will be willing to move and visit our country?
19:42 How do we boost our tourism with airports like this?
19:45 And the escalator of IA Terminal 3 is broken
19:49 after the Senate President has repeatedly said that.
19:52 It's been busted for the last five months, I think.
19:55 Yes, the only escalator they have and it's busted.
19:59 So everybody has to walk down carrying their bags.
20:02 I feel sorry for the senior citizens.
20:04 The elevator is full. There's only one elevator, right?
20:06 The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines explained that
20:10 the bidding and delivery of spare parts are taking a long time.
20:13 The operation of the IA turned over to the private concessionaire on September 14.
20:17 San Miguel is doing the OFW lounge in Terminal 3.
20:22 They are also renovating, repairing the basement of Terminal 3
20:27 in order to improve the amenities afforded the MIA employees
20:32 in terms of cafeteria and rest space and some mini barracks.
20:39 Even in the provinces, there are problems with the airport like Iloilo.
20:44 Many complaints already. Air conditioning, escalators, the escalator problem has been there for a long time.
20:50 In fact, during the last budget, we allotted more than a hundred million
20:55 for the repairs and upgrades in the Iloilo Airport.
20:59 The new BPP code and the new regulations that were issued in April 6
21:04 has an impact on fulfilling the requirements.
21:08 We are very much on schedule now for Iloilo.
21:11 In Lagindingan Airport of Cagayan de Oro City, it's tight and white.
21:16 The foreigners are standing.
21:18 The bathrooms are still good in the morning, but in the afternoon, it's all white.
21:23 We have this ongoing rehabilitation of CRs.
21:27 Regarding Lagindingan, we are constructing a modular terminal that is capable of 360 passengers.
21:33 And we expect this to be completed by August.
21:37 The initial design I saw was a container van. Not this one?
21:40 No, sir.
21:41 Okay, because the container is too small.
21:43 So it's something similar that they use in Singapore.
21:46 So we can transfer that to another airport.
21:48 Air conditioning.
21:49 Air conditioning with toilets.
21:50 The open airport, the gateway to and from Boracay, was also closed.
21:55 If you're going back to Manila, you need to take a bus.
21:59 So we were in the bus for like 30 minutes to bring us to the tarmac.
22:04 And the airport is also very small.
22:06 We want more visitors in Boracay.
22:11 But the airport itself does not have the capacity to accept more visitors.
22:17 She added that the domestic airport should be inventory-oriented,
22:21 that they have the same problems and it affects tourism.
22:25 As a nation comprising of 7,641 islands, the Philippines relies very heavily on air transport.
22:33 Over 99.5% of our foreign international guests arrived via our airports in 2023.
22:40 The accessibility of our destinations.
22:43 Maybe Secretary Fransco, we can give them a video about our tourist spots.
22:49 Instead of the ribbon cutting of the DOTR.
22:53 You're waiting in your luggage and you're a tourist.
22:57 For GMA Integrated News, Mav Gonzales, for Tutok 24 Horas.
23:03 [Music]
