00:00 A clerk of court was found dead inside his office.
00:04 The police complained to the police to investigate the case of a complainant.
00:08 John Consulta was arrested.
00:11 The people of the NBI Cybercrime Division immediately arrested the clerk of court of Pasay RTC
00:21 inside his office.
00:23 The paper bag containing 6 million pesos of marked money was recovered from the back of his table and his feet.

01:01 According to the NBI, the entrapment operation was conducted against a 59-year-old court official
01:07 when the Judicial Integrity Board and the Supreme Court approached them to complain about the money they were asking for
01:14 in order to have a favorable result for the case of a complainant.
01:19 We got the information from JID, the Judicial Integrity Board, that an anonymous tipster
01:25 informed them that there was an extortion happening in Pasay Court.
01:33 In exchange of some amount of money, the subject judge in this case would decide in favor of one of the parties in interest.
01:47 They would be on the left when they were given the money from our operatives.
01:55 The clerk of court would then make the decision that was signed by the judge.
02:00 It should have been 5 million pesos.
02:03 So, 1 million pesos for the goodwill, and then the 4 million pesos balance would be given the next day.
02:08 But since the first discussion on 1 million pesos did not push through,
02:14 the amount that was asked for the next day was 6 million pesos.
02:19 So, in a span of less than a week, that was the amount that was being produced.
02:26 When the payment was given, the complainant was given 7 pages of certified through copy of the decision that favors his case.
02:35 It's highly significant. We said, we discussed, once this case is bloomed.
02:40 It's better for our countrymen to be here in the right process within the legal confines.
02:46 Because if we are here under the table, under the table, quote unquote,
02:54 there is a big risk that you can be convicted, you can be fined.
02:59 But at the same time, you can be arrested.
03:03 Most importantly, if this becomes a practice, our country will have no future.
03:10 The NBI CCD is now holding the computers of the clerk of court.
03:15 We tried to get a statement from the arrested clerk of court, but it was denied.
03:19 He and the judge of the RTC branch are facing a complaint of direct bribery,
03:23 Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act, and conduct and ethical standards of public officials and employees.
03:29 The Supreme Court also announced the 90-day suspension of the judge and his clerk of court.
03:35 One of the deep-seated in the forensic examination are the computers and cell phone units inside the targeted Pasay RTC branch
03:42 to gather additional evidence.
03:44 For JMA Integrated News, John Consulta, MakaTutok, 24 Hours.
03:50 The field of the judge of the RTC branch where a clerk of court is in the court and is about to be arrested has already been released.
03:58 In the statement issued by the lawyer of the presiding judge, Albert T. Cansino,
04:02 he said that he felt saddened by the name and office of his client due to the controversy.
04:08 Since Cansino learned about the incident, he voluntarily agreed to the investigation.
04:13 According to the lawyer of Cansino, there is no clear and reliable evidence that will be of help to him in the case of arrest.
04:20 Despite that, as a judge, Cansino will continue to be alone in all the investigations of the Department of Justice and the Supreme Court.
04:28 He is also ready to face any complaint that will be filed against him in the right forum.
04:33 Do not be afraid.
04:36 That is the message of the Philippine Navy to the Filipino fishermen
04:40 following the declaration of the fishing ban of China in the West Philippine Sea.
04:45 At the same time, the opposition that the country will not recognize the declaration of China.
04:51 And June Veterason was there.
04:53 China is out of tune, out of step, out of their minds.
05:00 He is the direct representative of the Philippine Navy spokesperson for the West Philippine Sea, Commodore Roy Vincent Trinidad,
05:08 on the declaration of the fishing ban of China.
05:10 Since the declaration of China of the year of the fishing moratorium in the West Philippine Sea in 2021,
05:16 it is not being implemented.
05:19 According to the AFP report, the Filipino fishermen in the West Philippine Sea, particularly in the Panatag Shoal, will continue fishing.
05:25 Do not be afraid. Just continue. The AFP and the entire government is behind you.
05:31 According to the latest monitoring of the AFP, there are only 11 Chinese vessels in the Panatag Shoal.
05:36 There are only a few in the 55 vessels from May 14 to 20.
05:40 The decline in the number of Chinese vessels is noticed after the civilian mission of the ATINETO coalition.
05:46 However, there are Chinese vessels in the Shoal and Holyan Philippe Reef.
05:51 Before the declaration of the fishing ban of China, the Armed Forces of the Philippines
05:57 strengthened the deployment of naval assets in the West Philippine Sea
06:00 to protect the interests of the country and the Filipino fishermen.
06:06 So we affirm that it is well within the rights of our people to fish or sail within our territorial waters.
06:12 The Philippine Coast Guard and Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, or BFAR, will also strengthen
06:18 the protection of the West Philippine Sea, especially in the Panatag Shoal.
06:21 And if China will allow the arrest of trespassers, they can be charged with illegal detention.
06:29 BFAR said that 7% of the country's national fisheries production comes from the West Philippine Sea.
06:35 We don't recognize this fishing ban mentioned by China.
06:42 There's no reason for us to prevent or to advise our Filipino fishermen not to be engaged in fishing in these areas.
06:51 Because again, the so-called ban of China is illegal and they have no right basis.
06:58 There is no effect on the supply as of now.
07:02 No one should stop our fishermen from fishing in the West Philippine Sea.
07:08 For GMA Integrated News, June Veneration, 24 hours.
