00:00Meanwhile, the two men who were selling illegal drugs in Taguig were arrested.

00:04They were fined more than Php 700,000.

00:09EJ Gomez brought the news.

00:13In their home in Corner, they were arrested by the police.

00:17These two men were suspected of selling illegal drugs in Taguig.

00:22We are arresting you because you are selling illegal drugs in Taguig.

00:29The police accused the buyer of buying illegal drugs in New Lower Bicutan at 2 am yesterday.

00:37The high-value target, 26-year-old Alias John, was not allowed to be arrested.

00:43He was with 38-year-old Alias Rodolfo.

00:51They were given 105 grams of shabu, worth Php 714,000.

00:58Our subject is Alias John.

01:00He is the one who was taught by the former prisoners last week.

01:06We are pointing to each one of them in the diagram that our Drug Enforcement Unit is building.

01:13It just so happens that Rodolfo, a construction worker, is one of them.

01:19In Maharlika and Lower Bicutan, two suspects were on the operation.

01:24The Taguig City Police continues to investigate who dropped the items on them.

01:29According to the police, Alias John was arrested last June because of drugs.

01:34He was arrested so he was released.

01:36The GMA Integrated News tried to get a statement from the suspects but they refused.

01:42The suspects who are facing charges of violation of Republic Act 9165

01:51or Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.

01:54EJ Gomez is reporting for GMA Integrated News.

02:00Thunderstorm advisory in Central Zone and Calabar Zone is high right now.

02:05According to the forecast, Quezon, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal and Bulacan are affected.

02:12Residents are being alerted from the area of flood or landslide.

02:16Thunderstorm advisory will last for a long time, past 12 o'clock this afternoon.

02:32At the State of the Nation address on Monday, transportation will be one of the most anticipated sectors.

02:37Especially if the President will say something about the POV Modernization Program.

02:42Breaking news from Joseph Moro.

02:46The station of the EDSA bus carousel in North Avenue is now new.

02:51It is located in front of the Film Subdivision and near a new casino complex.

02:55It is also a subway station.

02:57It is one of the busway stations that have elevators for the elderly and the disabled.

03:03However, there are people who are breaking the elevators that are made of glass or breaking the wiring.

03:10We should be careful if it is a prison and people are not seen inside.

03:14This can lead to a crime.

03:17The CRs will now follow the requirements of the winning company in the privatization of the carousel.

03:23I think this will be a part of our Terms of Reference.

03:26While the EDSA bus system is being repaired, the modernization of the jeepneys is still being questioned.

03:33It is called Palpac so it will be protested by the group Pistoon and Bayan on the day of the State of the Nation address of the President on Monday.

03:40They say they will stand up to the national law.

03:43The people should be close to the Zona. They will really try it.

03:47The MMDA will spread the message that there are more than 1,000 enforcers for the Zona.

03:52According to the MMDA, the Commonwealth Avenue here in Quezon City is not closed all day for the President's Zona.

04:00Maybe we will close the Commonwealth Avenue mid-afternoon.

04:07There will be a zipper lane so it will not be a total closure.

04:12The Pistoon is also questioning the board resolution of the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board or LTFRB

04:19that allows jeepneys that are not consolidated to travel in a few routes.

04:26There are more than 200 routes that are not consolidated in Metro Manila.

04:30In the provinces, there are more than 2,000 routes that are consolidated, most of which are in the Cordillera Administrative Region.

04:37There will be a shortage of vehicles.

04:41Low of supply of demand.

04:43It will be difficult for passengers to travel.

04:46The LTFRB suspected that there are only a few traditional jeepneys in the routes listed.

04:52That is why it is not possible for cooperatives that have 15 required units to enter.

04:57Exempted from consolidation is done by those who are not able to consolidate in their number 4 and below.

05:07This is the only exemption.

05:09To clarify this, they are asking cooperatives to consolidate the routes that are not consolidated.

05:16Joseph Morong reporting for GMA Integrated News.

05:21Some senators are hoping that President Bongbong Marcos will announce

05:25at his State of the Nation Address the prohibition of Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators or POGO in the country.

05:31According to Senate Minority Leader Coco Pimentel, it is better to announce the total POGO ban in the area.

05:37That is also one of the things that Senator Risa Ontiveros wants to hear in the area of the President.

05:43Last June, Senate President Cheese Escudero, Senator Jingoy Estrada, and Senator Lauren Legada

05:49also expressed their support for the prohibition of POGO.

05:53Finance Secretary Ralph Recto recommended the total POGO ban to the President.

05:58He was the first to announce that POGO hubs or POGOs with large compounds will be prohibited.

06:06Instead of Ipugao, Banawi Rise Terraces is located in Benguet.

06:11It was seen in a billboard advertisement of the Department of Tourism in Naia Terminal 4.

06:16It is part of the Love the Philippines campaign of DOT.

06:19But because of a mistake, the poster was removed.

06:22It was seen by Stephen Acabado, an archaeologist who was a former student of the World Heritage Site.

06:29He sent the picture to his colleague and Chief Operating Officer of Save the Ipugao Terraces Movement.

06:36It was reported to the Regional Director of Ipugao Tourism

06:39who reported to the Main Office of the Tourism Department.

06:42DOT has not been notified yet.

06:45Ipugao Governor Jerry Dalipog said that this is not the first time that someone has made a mistake

06:50in the location of Rise Terraces.

06:54The Department of Health, Department of the Interior and Local Government, and Department of Justice

07:00have agreed on the issue of persons deprived of liberty or PDL.

07:04Their aim is to diagnose and treat those who have PDL.

07:08Maritang Hati and Liza Lima, Refran.

07:13In the middle of the problem in the prisons in the country,

07:16the disease of TB has risen in the autopsy of UP College of Medicine

07:20for those who died in the field.

07:24There are also those who have cancer that was not diagnosed, so it was not treated.

07:30In order to avoid this, the Health, Interior and Justice Departments

07:35have issued a Joint Administrative Order

07:37to have a national policy to take care of the health of those in detention facilities.

07:43The arrangement of our jails will be systematized

07:48to make sure that all of these are healthy places of detention.

07:53The number one action point in the eight-point action agenda

07:58is for every Filipino to feel the happiness.

08:02And the PDLs are part of every Filipino.

08:05The order is to speed up the treatment of those in prison

08:10and to build hospitals near or inside the prisons.

08:15For the expenses of each patient, PhilHealth will take care of it.

08:19Immediate eligibility for health care packages

08:22in line with the Universal Health Care Act

08:26is a promise we are making today.

08:28This is a big thing because all PDLs will have a medical record.

08:35If they need to be treated, PhilHealth will be there.

08:40The BJMP is adamant that the prisons will not be barred

08:45so that there will not be additional problems.

08:47Can you imagine, it was closed.

08:49It was only there for five days.

08:51Then the prison will be barred.

08:54Breaking news for GMA Integrated News.

09:01Ladies and gentlemen, it's trending.

09:03Sparkle's star and actress-comedian Rufa May Quinto

09:08is here with us in her showtime.

09:12When will I get here?

09:14But don't worry, I'll be here everyday.

09:17I'll be staying here.

09:20Everyday.

09:21I approve myself.

09:23Do you want me to be a regular?

09:25Rufa May noted the joy of being a guest again

09:29in her showtime yesterday.

09:31Rufa May has a lot of passion

09:33especially in her plan to make a book.

09:36Netizens were also excited.

09:39In a tweet, a netizen asked Rufa May

09:41to be a regular in her showtime.

09:44She replied, I'm a regular myself.

09:48In another tweet, Rufa May thanked

09:51Rufa May to everyone who watched the showtime.

09:53Go Nag Go!

09:57The lawyer of suspended Bambang Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo

10:00said that the mayor was thinking

10:02when and how he will give in to the Senate.

10:05If Guo gives in or gets arrested,

10:07the Senate will prepare a detention facility for him.

10:10Let's hear from Darlene Kai.

10:14These class pictures are from 2000 to 2003

10:17taken at Grace Christian High School in Quezon City

10:20and according to some former students,

10:23a child in the pictures is called Wa Ping

10:26with the last name Guo.

10:28This is him in grade 1, grade 2, and grade 3.

10:31According to Senator Sherwin Gatchalian

10:34in the last hearing of the Senate,

10:36the school records and alien certificate of registration

10:39that Guo used to enroll were leaked.

10:42Guo also passed a birth certificate from China.

10:45I talked to two of Guo's classmates

10:49and they decided to hide their identity for their own safety.

10:52One of them was a former mayor's seatmate.

11:08According to Wa Ping, he looks older than them.

11:19Tagalog and English are hard to learn

11:22but it's easier to learn in Chinese.

11:34According to my old acquaintance,

11:40one of my acquaintances confirmed the pictures.

11:49I saw my class pictures of grade 1, grade 2, and grade 3

11:52because I hid them.

11:54And I saw the same picture.

11:57So I saw that he was my classmate in grade 1

12:00and I also checked my other class pictures

12:03and he was also my classmate in grade 2.

12:06We tried going to Grace Christian College

12:09but they didn't let us enter the gate of the village.

12:12They still didn't answer our emails and messages.

12:15According to Guo's lawyer, the mayor is still in the Philippines.

12:19She's contemplating when and how she will surrender

12:22to the jurisdiction of the Senate.

12:25If she surrenders now,

12:28she will be detained for a long time until the next hearing

12:31which is, I think, on July 29.

12:34Of course, she will be detained during the hearing.

12:37Mayor Alice Guo or Guo Hua Ping,

12:40if you have Facebook,

12:43maybe you can face the Senate.

12:46You can use Facebook to spread fake news

12:49that you are Filipino.

12:52You are not Filipino.

13:16Who is Hong Zhang Yang, you may ask?

13:19He is the brother of Michael Yang.

13:22Yes, the same Michael Yang

13:25who was Duterte's former economic presidential adviser.

13:28In short,

13:31the money of Michael Yang's brother

13:34was used to fund Hong Sheng,

13:37the raided Bamban Pogo.

13:46I told you,

13:49these Pogo and Farmally members

13:52look like one big happy farmally.

13:55Maybe this farmally

13:58is the farm that Alice Guo raised.

14:01Michael Yang has not yet agreed

14:04to the terms of the Hontiveros.

14:07But Yang said earlier

14:10that he has no connection with the illegal Pogo.

14:13This is Darlene Kai reporting for GMA Integrated News.
