NewsTranscript
00:00Live from the GMA Network Center, 20 years have passed. 24 Hours.
00:10Good evening, Luzon Visayas and Mindanao.
00:15The illegal sale of stone and illegal kidney transplant
00:22is being carried out by a nurse of National Kidney and Transplant Institute or NKTI.
00:29A house in Bulacan was raided where some people donated stones,
00:34even though only a few of them recovered.
00:37One of the victims was only paid Php 2,000, even though he was promised Php 200,000.
00:45Three people were arrested, including John Consulta.
00:52I don't have a cell phone. All cell phones are dead.
00:56NBI-NCR immediately entered this house in San Jose del Monte, Bulacan,
01:01a place where the victims of organ trafficking are being held.
01:05On the second floor of the house, some of the victims were already operated on,
01:10and some were operated on only on stones or kidneys.
01:13Are you the one who just had an operation?
01:15What's your name?
01:18Are you the one who just had an operation?
01:20Relax.
01:22Some of the victims of kidney transplant were also recovered.
01:26The hideout was seized because of a tip from an informant.
01:30The kidney was already taken. They didn't pay for it.
01:34The place where the organs were taken was taught.
01:42When we established that there is a place where the victims of trafficking are housed,
01:51we coordinated with the DSWD.
01:55Three people were arrested while four of the victims were already operated on.
02:01They were recruited in a Facebook group.
02:04They conducted the extraction and transfer of their kidneys to various hospitals.
02:10Most of them are Filipino.
02:13Most?
02:14Yes, yes.
02:15But there are foreigners?
02:16But we got information that there are also foreigners.
02:20They were there for three to four months, including all the procedures,
02:25like for example, their cross-match with the recipient of the kidney,
02:30and their recovery after the operation.
02:34The suspects who were arrested also sold their kidneys
02:38because they were able to facilitate 20 kidney transplants within a year.
02:44The recipients?
02:45Your clients?
02:47Yes.
02:48There are professionals.
02:51Politicians?
02:52Yes, there are.
02:54Politicians' children?
02:55Politicians' children.
02:57I have a sincere apology.
02:58But I'm just here for my children.
03:01Because I will do everything for my two children.
03:04According to the NBI-NCR, the group's modus is that
03:07they are pretending to be housemates of kidney recipients
03:12who will be their kidney donor recruits
03:15who have been with them for a long time
03:17to allow them to enter the hospital and get the kidney transplant done.
03:23According to the NBI,
03:24a head nurse of the National Kidney and Transplant Institute, or NKPI,
03:29is the brain of the group.
03:31That's where she got the customers.
03:35Because she has access to the list of people who need kidney transplants.
03:42Yes, sir.
03:43Currently, the NBI is investigating other medical professionals
03:47who are included in the Kidney for Sale scheme.
03:49So far, three doctors have been identified for the kidney transplant.
03:55The 20-year-old who received a kidney
03:58is currently experiencing double pain.
04:01He was only paid P2,000.
04:04He is far from his promise to enroll in the hospital.
04:08How much did he promise you?
04:09P200,000.
04:11P200,000.
04:12And he only asked for P2,000.
04:13They said it's okay if one kidney is lost.
04:18The three arrests and the head nurse of the NKPI,
04:20who is still at large until now,
04:22have already been filed for the Expanded Anti-Human Trafficking Act.
04:27This penalty is severe.
04:3020 years imprisonment
04:32and a fine of P1,000,000 up to P2,000,000.
04:38So this is non-bailable.
04:41The NKTI confirmed that their employee, the nurse mentioned by the NBI,
04:46is already involved in their own investigation on the issue.
04:50In addition, their only legitimate transaction is organ donation and transplant.
04:58This kind of sale is not new
05:00because this was also reported in 1999
05:04in Jessica Soho's P-Body Winning Eyewitness Documentary,
05:08Kidney for Sale.
05:10For GMA Integrated News, John Consulta.
05:14Tune in for 24 hours.
05:18The Senate inspected the detention room
05:20where Mayor Alice Guo and her family will be taken
05:24if they are arrested or surrendered.
05:26The Senate President said,
05:28the mayor can still ask for his freedom
05:31even if he came to the hearing.
05:33J.P. Soriano was there.
05:39This will be the detention room
05:41or detention for Suspended Van Van Mayor Alice Guo
05:44if she is arrested or surrendered to the Senate.
05:48Following the released arrest order against her,
05:51The air-con is the precedent of the former daycare of the Senate.
05:54There are three single double deck beds.
05:57There is a water dispenser, bathroom, and sink.
06:00There is also no toilet.
06:02That's why OSAA said,
06:03this is not a prison.
06:05It has an air-con.
06:06Others don't have an air-con.
06:08They are comfortable.
06:10It's just an electric fan, right?
06:12And there's a toilet and bath there.
06:15There's water.
06:17I think it depends on your standard.
06:23If you're a hotel type,
06:25she's not a hotel type.
06:27The Senate arrested Guo,
06:28her parents,
06:30her siblings,
06:32and some other personalities
06:34for not following the orders
06:36of her involvement in the illegal pogo.
06:39Even though the hotel is not as good as the detention facility,
06:42OSAA assured that it will be comfortable here in Guo
06:45when she moves here.
06:47But she's not allowed to use any gadgets,
06:50such as cellphones.
06:51And if she uses a cellphone,
06:52it needs to be supervised.
06:54And the cellphone is from the Senate.
06:56Visits are prohibited,
06:58aside from immediate family and lawyer.
07:00There are also visiting hours.
07:02As Senate President Cheese Escudero said,
07:05if Guo comes to the Senate,
07:07she can ask for her release.
07:10If she can convince the committee,
07:12Senator Riza,
07:13that this is just a chance,
07:15but I'll attend.
07:17I promise.
07:18I'm a mayor.
07:19You can release me on my own recognizance.
07:21I'm familiar with the community.
07:23If the committee will allow it,
07:25there's no reason for me not to allow it.
07:27For now,
07:28Guo's camp has no feelings in the Senate
07:30if the mayor will give in.
07:32But Guo insisted that this is only in the Philippines.
07:36Her lawyers are convincing her
07:38to show this to the Senate.
07:41But her mental anxiety is severe.
07:44Her trauma is repeated.
07:47Her trauma and emotional problems,
07:50her physical conditions.
07:52Because of the Senate hearings,
07:55she was exposed to cyberbullying and bashing.
07:59She did this because of lies.
08:02She did this to hide her identity.
08:06She ran to the public office
08:09knowing that she's not Filipino.
08:12She should be prepared for this kind of backlash.
08:15The NBI is already helping in finding Guo.
08:19I told my Region 3 commanders
08:23to help the Senate
08:28in finding Mayor Guo.
08:30For GMA Integrated News,
08:33JP Soriano,
08:3424 Hours.
08:37The five officials of the Department of Education
08:40signed a courtesy resignation.
08:41That's three days before Senator Sonny Angara
08:44officially replaced Vice President Sara Duterte
08:47as Education Secretary.
08:49That and another change in the DEPED
08:52is the appointment of Joseph Moro.
08:59Five officials of the Department of Education
09:01or DEPED signed a courtesy resignation
09:04as the Chief of Staff of the outgoing Education Secretary
09:07and Vice President Sara Duterte,
09:09Michael Poa.
09:10On July 19,
09:11their courtesy resignation was effective
09:14to give the incoming Education Secretary,
09:17Sonny Angara,
09:18a chance to choose people.
09:19Angara's courtesy resignations were not bad.
09:22They are currently looking for a replacement
09:25for the resigned officials.
09:27These are the appointees of Vice President Sara,
09:30the Chief of Staff.
09:31And most likely,
09:32she will also be brought to the office of the Vice President.
09:34Sir, with the four or five officials who resigned,
09:36do you have anyone to replace them?
09:39We are looking for one.
09:40We are looking for one right now.
09:41On Thursday,
09:42Duterte will help with the formal turnover
09:45and on Friday,
09:46he will lead the duties in front of the President.
09:49But he has already helped the Undersecretaries,
09:52Assistant Secretaries,
09:53and the Regional Directors of DEPED.
09:56I'm willing to work with anyone.
09:58This is not a political position, right?
10:00We want to be appointed in the middle of the year.
10:04It's already the budget season.
10:06So we should be ready to adjust,
10:08not them.
10:09Despite Angara's efforts,
10:11the K-12 program,
10:12which was supposed to be given
10:14earlier by the students
10:16so that they can work
10:18if they want to finish Senior High.
10:21Poor implementation of K-12 so far.
10:23One of our marching orders from the President
10:26is improve the implementation.
10:27The facilities,
10:29the curriculum,
10:30the lack of accreditation
10:32for our TechVol graduates.
10:33So the employers don't know
10:35what this is all about.
10:36He has a degree,
10:37but what are his actual skills?
10:39It was also discussed
10:41if the Class Decor
10:43was allowed again,
10:44which was prohibited by Duterte.
10:45Angara will not ask for a confidential fund
10:48for DEPED.
10:49The entrance was also prepared
10:51not only by DEPED,
10:52but also by other agencies,
10:54especially when it rained.
10:55In the newer Command Center of the MMDA,
10:58not only roads and traffic
11:00will be monitored.
11:02The monitoring center of the MMDA
11:04has the ability to monitor
11:06the strength of the rain
11:07and places that may be flooded.
11:09According to the MMDA,
11:10this can be a backup
11:12to the Monitoring Center
11:13of the National Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council
11:16in Quezon City
11:17at the time of the disaster.
11:18That measures the water
11:21that flows down Metro Manila
11:23from the mountains of Sierra Madre
11:25and the Marikina Watershed.
11:27It's either or.
11:28We want that kind of connectivity
11:30between one center to the other.
11:33For GMA Integrated News,
11:35Joseph Morong,
11:3624 Hours.
11:39The Elang Meralco customer
11:41has a problem
11:42on where to get the payment
11:44for their bill this July.
11:46It's a sudden hit
11:48because they have more than 2 pesos.
11:51Maki Pulido is in trouble.
11:53All that can be saved
11:55from using electricity
11:57was already done by Alona.
11:59In the past,
12:00we have two electric fans.
12:02Now, we only use one.
12:04We'll just turn it off
12:06when there are no people.
12:07We don't turn it on
12:09even at night.
12:10Because of this,
12:11from a consumption of 392 kWh,
12:13it went down to 347.
12:15But Alona was very surprised
12:17when their Meralco bill arrived this July.
12:21Their bill is still higher
12:23than P345.
12:25This month,
12:26Meralco has P2.15
12:28which is higher.
12:30P11.60 per kWh
12:32is the electricity rate
12:34for consuming 200 kWh.
12:36Lola Clarita is also in trouble
12:38on how to pay the Meralco bill
12:40which reached P6,000.
12:42The money is already spent
12:44because they need to buy
12:46maintenance medicine
12:49for their husband.
12:51It's really hard, ma'am.
12:53Sometimes, we have rice
12:55and we have to do a lot
12:57to survive.
12:59No matter how much they save,
13:01the bill is still high,
13:03said the Power for People Coalition.
13:05If you look at your electric bill,
13:0740 to 50 percent of the bill
13:09is generation charge.
13:11This is what power generators
13:13buy when they supply electricity
13:15that we consumers use.
13:17More than half of the Philippines' electricity
13:19comes from coal-powered plants.
13:21And when the price of electricity
13:23goes up in the world market,
13:25consumers pay for it.
13:27When the electricity goes down
13:29due to the destruction
13:31of some coal plants
13:33due to the heat,
13:35the price of electricity
13:37goes up in the spot market.
13:39That's why we're paying
13:41a high generation charge.
13:43It's not our fault
13:46said the Power for People Coalition.
13:48We shouldn't pay
13:50to all consumers.
13:52There should be a straight-pricing contract
13:54where it's stated how much to sell.
13:56And if it suddenly goes up,
13:58the negotiator should answer.
14:00Whatever you put in the contract
14:02for the price of electricity,
14:04you shouldn't pay
14:06to anyone else
14:08because they're hiding
14:10the real cost
14:12that depends on how
14:14much electricity
14:16they're selling.
14:18The Energy Regulatory Commission
14:20allows a pass-through mechanism
14:22on the fuel cost.
14:24The power generators
14:26buy the fuel in the world market.
14:28The straight-pricing or fixed contract
14:30is rare. But they monitor
14:32what can be passed to the consumers.
14:34According to the initial data
14:36of the Philippine Rural Electric Cooperative,
14:382 to 3 pesos per kilowatt-hour
14:40is the highest yield in some provinces
14:42in Region 1, 2, 6, and 7.
14:44The generation charge
14:46will be charged until September.
14:48For the month of July,
14:50we'll go back to our rate
14:52and we'll add
14:54what we didn't collect in June.
14:56For GMA, Integrated News,
14:58Mackie Pulido, Katuto, 24 Hours.
15:02Studying at the same time
15:04in an activity with fellow countrymen,
15:06the next resupply mission
15:08in BRP Sierra Madre.
15:10It's still followed by
15:12an aggressive attack by China
15:14in the last mission.
15:16Chino Gaston was targeted.
15:22This resupply mission
15:24was not followed on June 17
15:26by the Philippine Navy
15:28of 8 Chinese Coast Guard rubber boats,
15:30small craft, and 3 missile boats of China.
15:34The Chinese destroyed
15:36the Philippine rubber boats
15:38and injured a Filipino soldier.
16:02That's why the soldiers
16:04in BRP Sierra Madre
16:06were given an air drop supply
16:08in the first part of June.
16:10That's enough for now
16:12according to the AFP.
16:14But the AFP is studying
16:16the need for help
16:18from fellow countrymen
16:20to carry out the resupply mission
16:22in a Multilateral Maritime
16:24Cooperative Activity or MMCA.
16:26In that way,
16:28the ships and airplanes
16:30of fellow countrymen
16:32like the US, UK, Australia, and Japan
16:34all options are being discussed
16:36on the planning table.
16:38Once finalized,
16:40this will be submitted for approval.
16:42We asked the US Embassy
16:44about this. According to their
16:46spokesman, as an ally,
16:48the Philippines and the United States
16:50are cooperating
16:52on various issues.
16:54Earlier, AFP Chief of Staff
16:56General Romeo Browner Jr. and
16:58US Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman
17:00General Charles Brown discussed
17:02the following exercises
17:04and the signed
17:06General Security of Military Information Agreement
17:08or GSOMIA.
17:10It will also involve other
17:12upcoming talks
17:14in terms of our compliance with the GSOMIA
17:16and other
17:18matters
17:20in terms of our partnership
17:22with the US.
17:26Meanwhile,
17:28medium-range capability missiles
17:30of the US are being
17:32continuously studied and used
17:34by the Philippine Army Artillery Regiment.
17:36Despite the alliance
17:38between China and Russia
17:40on the maintenance of US missiles,
17:42they are the targets.
17:44For GMA Integrated News,
17:46Chino Gaston,

18:28they shared their unforgettable
18:30gala moments with some Sparkle Stars
18:32like Isabel Ortega
18:34who said she will recover this year
18:36because she was absent last year.
18:38We were at Comic Con.
18:40Oh, in another country?
18:42Yes, in another country.
18:44First day.
18:46A lot.
18:48But I watched all of it live.
18:50So I feel like you will look good this year.
18:52Yes, last year.

19:28Do you know them?
19:30They're not here,
19:32but they're here with us.
19:34Who are they?
19:36The GMA Gala that started in 2022
19:38has become a yearly tradition
19:40of the GMA Network

19:44and also some industry partners
19:46in promoting
19:48Sparkle GMA Artist Center.
19:50This is also a fundraising event
19:52for the GMA Kapuso Foundation.
19:54It's a time also
19:56that GMA wants to give thanks
19:58to everyone and acknowledge
20:00how important everyone is.
20:02The preparations
20:04of the creatives
20:06from the events industry
20:08have been going on for months.
20:10The famous floral and events designer,
20:12Gideon Hermosa,
20:14decided to style the event
20:16for three years in a row.
20:18For this year's theme,
20:20we're doing something modern
20:22and futuristic.
20:24So it's different from last year.
20:26Nice Print Photography

20:30We really make sure
20:32that we deploy
20:34the right number of people

21:08Aubrey Carampel,
21:10updated to showbiz happenings.
21:12Various
21:14illegal items were seized
21:16from the resorts in Puerto Galera
21:18that are exclusive to foreigners.
21:20The NBI is investigating
21:22the information of possible
21:24illegal possession
21:26that was denied by their mayor.
21:28From Calapan City,
21:30Oriental Mindoro,
21:32Paul Hernandez,
21:34of GMA Regional TV,
21:36Paul?
21:38Yes, Pia.
21:40According to NBI Mimaropa,
21:42this raid is the result of
21:44an intel report on them.
21:46And in the location of the operative,
21:48they were attacked by
21:50mahjong tables,
21:52and other types of weapons,
21:54and chips.
22:24There were no people there,
22:26not only the owner.
22:28There were no people in the poolside,
22:30bar.
22:32Usually, that's where they hang out.
22:34According to NBI Mimaropa,
22:36the resort was opened in 2019
22:38and this is also an exclusive
22:40information to foreigners.
22:42Most of them are Chinese.
22:44Aside from illegal items,
22:46they also saw laptops and SIM cards.
22:48According to NBI,
22:50only one foreigner owns the resort.
22:52He's a Chinese descent,
22:54but when we asked for his passport,
22:56he said he's an American national.
22:58He refused to give
23:00his passport to the resort owner.
23:02I don't have any comment.
23:04You don't have any comment, sir?
23:06Yes.
23:08According to NBI,
23:10they are investigating the information
23:12that there might be illegal firecrackers
23:14inside the resort.
23:16But this was surprised by
23:18Puerto Galera Mayor Rocky Ilagan,
23:20the owner of the resort.
23:22He said there might be illegal activities.
23:24I asked him what was caught.
23:26He said it was mahjong table.
23:28I asked him if he knows
23:30if the resort has ping pong,
23:32table tennis,
23:34mahjong as part of the recreation
23:36of the guests.
23:38We did not deny or ascertain
23:40what the mayor said
23:42because as of now,
23:44we haven't proven that it's true.
23:46The resort also has a business
23:48as part of the recreation
23:50of the guests.
23:52However, the gambling materials
23:54have no valid papers.
23:56The gambling materials were hidden
23:58in the resort's inventory
24:00as part of the investigation.
24:06Pia, regarding the last information
24:08shared by NBI Mimaropa,
24:10just yesterday,
24:12it was confirmed that the resort
24:14is owned by the resort
24:16even though it was not closed.
24:18Pia?
24:20Thank you very much, Paul Hernandez
24:22of GMA Regional TV.
24:24Some of the residents of Mindanao
24:26are appealing for help
24:28because some of them
24:30are still unable
24:32to carry the load.
24:34Justony Humamil
24:36of GMA Regional TV
24:38is live on the streets
24:40of Palenque Terminal.
24:44Emil, the load
24:46from yesterday's trip
24:48to Mindanao del Sur
24:50is gradually increasing
24:52because of the flooding
24:54of the river.
24:58Because of the rainy weather,
25:00the flood that occurred
25:02in Barangay Kangguan
25:04in Datupiang, Mindanao del Sur
25:06was so high that the food
25:08was tied to a styrofoam
25:10so that it won't get wet.
25:12Some children are already
25:14drowning in the high water.
25:16Some are already being transported
25:18to Plangana.
25:20They were not able to escape
25:22to the municipality, police station, and schools.
25:24According to the MDRRMO
25:26of Pagalungan,
25:28more than 11,395 families
25:30were affected.
25:32Some were left behind
25:34after drowning.
25:36This is the current situation
25:38in some barangays in Pagalungan
25:40Maguindanao del Sur
25:42after the flood.
25:44Residents were called for help
25:46such as rice, trapal, tent,
25:48because of the flooding
25:50in their homes.
25:52Some residents are
25:54on the side of the road
25:56to help.
25:58Amir Paglas,
26:00the father of a senior citizen,
26:02is on the side of the road.
26:04More than a hundred families
26:06are staying here in the
26:08Pagalungan public market
26:10that was built as a temporary
26:12evacuation site.
26:18On the side of the road
26:20are the residents of Datu Muntawal.
26:22Some of them are with
26:24their pets.
26:44According to the MDRRMO
26:46of Maguindanao del Sur,
26:4868,553 families
26:50were affected.
26:52The damage assessment
26:54of the office continues.
26:56In some parts of Barangay Baliwasan,
26:58Zamboanga City,
27:00the flood is still intense.
27:02Some fishing vessels
27:04also sank in the town of
27:06Barangay Kawit.
27:08In Barangay Pamukuta,
27:10a retrieval operation
27:12was carried out
27:14but her husband and
27:1610-year-old son were already home.
27:30No one was able to find
27:32the bodies of a mother and
27:34a young boy in Anuling.
27:36According to the ZCDRRMO,
27:38six people were already home.
27:44I called the ordinance
27:46to relocate them.
27:50It is also difficult to cross the river
27:52of Barangay Carmen in Davos City.
27:54The river was damaged
27:56due to their rope made of wood.
28:02Emil, as of now,
28:04help is being distributed
28:06to those affected by the flood.
28:08But according to the MDRRMO,
28:10this is still not enough
28:12to help them.
28:14Emil?
28:16Thank you very much!
28:18I am Jess Tony Humamil
28:20of GMA Regional TV.
28:42In Surigao City,
28:44Surigao del Norte is a low-pressure area
28:46according to the MDRRMO.
28:48For now, there is a low chance of a flood.
28:50But if a flood occurs,
28:52it will be called Bagyong Butchoy.
28:54According to the MDRRMO,
28:56the LPA will move
28:58north-westward in the next few days.
29:00It is also possible to cross the Bicol Region
29:02and the northern part of Mimaropa.
29:04We will continue to monitor that
29:06so stay tuned for updates.
29:08The Southwest Monsoon
29:10The Southwest Monsoon
29:12will continue to rain
29:14in the southern part of Southern Luzon
29:16and Mindanao.
29:18According to the METROWEATHER,
29:20there will be rain in the Barm
29:22and some parts of Davao Region.
29:24In the afternoon,
29:26there will be heavy rainfall
29:28in the Davao Region
29:30and Northern Mindanao.
29:32There will also be heavy to intense rains
29:34in Central Visayas
29:36in the morning
29:38and in the evening
29:40in almost all of Visayas.
29:42This is also the case
29:44in a large part of Luzon.
29:46And in Metro Manila,
29:48the chance of rain
29:50is still there in the morning.
29:52There will be heavy rainfall
29:54in the afternoon and evening.
29:56So be careful, especially
29:58in the event of floods
30:00or landslides.
30:08The Southwest Monsoon
30:10will continue to rain
30:12in the southern part of Southern Luzon
30:14and Northern Mindanao.
30:16Four years in office,
30:18five important challenges,
30:20six days before the
30:22third presidential election,
30:24we will discuss
30:26the POGOs in the country
30:28who want to ban some
30:30because there are
30:32people who are addicted to alcohol.
30:34How does the government
30:36address
30:38the issue
30:40because of POGOs?
30:42Did you know?
30:44Some of the videos that you will watch
30:46are sensitive
30:48to the special report of Salima Refran.
30:50The operation
30:52against the
30:54Philippine Offshore Gaming
30:56Operators or POGOs
30:58that were involved in illegal
31:00activities
31:03Online gambling
31:05for other countries
31:07has become a source
31:09of violence and crime.
31:11In the past few months,
31:13incidents of torture
31:15have been identified
31:17in some POGOs.
31:19Illegal detention,
31:21prostitution,
31:23and involvement
31:25in online scams.
31:27The so-called Presidential
31:29Anti-Organized Crime Commission
31:31In more than 400 POGOs
31:33whose licenses have been cancelled,
31:35almost 100
31:37are still operating.
31:39But how can POGOs
31:41cover up this crime?
31:47According to PAOK,
31:49aside from studying the weaknesses
31:51of the system in the country,
31:53their influence has also entered
31:55the various agencies
31:57of the government.
31:59And once you have resources,
32:01the next thing you will look for
32:03is connection.
32:05How can I get power?
32:07And maybe,
32:09if I sit in one position,
32:11I will get power and authority.
32:13So whatever you do,
32:15well, you're untouchable.
32:21This is what the Senate
32:23said in their investigation
32:25after the authority
32:27was removed from the Senate.
32:31This is the giant compound
32:33in Bambantarlac
32:35that has luxury villas
32:37and an Olympic-sized swimming pool.
32:39But this POGO
32:41became more controversial
32:43when the name of the current
32:45and now suspended
32:47mayor in POGO documents came out.
32:49The center of the investigation
32:51is now Mayor Alice Go.
32:53So I followed her connection
32:55and her illegal activities
32:57even though she's a real person,
32:59it's still embarrassing.
33:01Here in the town of Bamban,
33:03it's hard not to see the tall buildings
33:05here in Bafo Compound
33:07just behind the municipality of Bamban.
33:09This land was owned
33:11by the mayor
33:13who used the capital for business.
33:15I grew up on a farm.
33:17I'm a Filipino.
33:19Is this mayor a Chinese spy?
33:21Even though
33:23this is the biggest POGO
33:25that the authority involved this year,
33:27Lucky South 99 in Purak, Pampanga.
33:33The operations against the POGO
33:35were done with the help
33:37of former victims
33:39along with the operatives,
33:41a Filipino who was also a victim
33:43of illegal trafficking
33:45and was even rescued
33:47from the scammed city in Myanmar.
33:49What happened to me,
33:51I hope it won't happen to others.
33:53Shin is an interpreter
33:55who was rescued
33:57from the forced labor
33:59in a POGO in Pasay.
34:01I don't want
34:03another Chinese
34:05to have the same experience
34:07like me.
34:09So I want to help.
34:11Since 2023,
34:1317 complaints have been filed
34:15against the POGO.
34:178 have been heard by the DA
34:19while he was the only one in court.
34:21A Chinese POGO operator
34:23was sentenced
34:25to 20 years in prison
34:27and was fined P1 million
34:29after he was found guilty
34:31for the case of human trafficking.
34:33We have a case build-up here
34:35to preserve
34:37the credibility
34:39of the evidence
34:41and not just until fiscal year.
34:43While the issues
34:45against the POGO are rising,
34:47the calls
34:49of other POGO operators
34:51are getting stronger.
34:53I'm willing to recommend to the President
34:55that the POGO should not continue.
34:57The cost,
34:59and particularly
35:01the social cost
35:03of POGOs
35:05are quite high.
35:07But there is no clear policy
35:09from the administration
35:11to ban POGOs.
35:13This July,
35:15the President said,
35:17I want to let you know
35:19that we are
35:21addressing
35:23this problem.
35:25In fact, we have already
35:27made a task force from the DALG
35:29to address
35:31the illegal activities
35:33of the POGOs.
35:35In a study
35:37by the Philippine Institute for Development Studies
35:39in 2022,
35:41it was stated that if
35:43POGOs are banned,
35:45it should be done while
35:47the country is not yet familiar
35:49with their impact on the economy.
35:51But while the President
35:53does not have a directive,
35:55Paok said that the local government
35:57can take action.
35:59They should clean their places,
36:01their localities,
36:03their provinces, their cities
36:05with these POGOs.
36:07They should know
36:09that they are really
36:11a threat to their localities.
36:13We will help the national government.
36:15We are willing to help them
36:17to solve
36:19this problem.
36:21Whatever the decision
36:23of the government to ban
36:25POGOs in the country,
36:27it is used to weigh
36:29its impact on the economy
36:31against the safety and security
36:33of the country,
36:35the real benefits
36:37of the future.
36:39We are here in Bambans, Tarlac
36:41for the GMA Integrated Views.
36:43In 5 refrains, 24 hours.
36:47Some government agencies
36:49expressed their support
36:51on how to ban
36:53POGOs in the country.
36:55It is a serious national
36:57concern
36:59by the National Security Council.
37:01Tina Panganiban-Perez
37:03Tina Panganiban-Perez
37:07For the NSC,
37:09it is a very serious national concern
37:11regarding POGOs.
37:13We have seen the extent of criminal activities
37:15being conducted
37:17in some of the IGLs
37:19and POGO facilities,
37:21particularly human trafficking,
37:23cyber fraud,
37:25prostitution, etc.
37:27Which to us
37:29has become a very serious
37:31national concern.
37:33All the red flags are already there.
37:35According to the Senate Committee on Ways and Means,
37:37the government agencies
37:39expressed their support
37:41on how to ban POGOs.
37:43According to the Department of Finance,
37:45more than Php 180 billion
37:47is being lost in the country
37:49in one year because of the negative image
37:51of POGOs. It is bigger
37:53than the benefits it will only reach
37:55for almost Php 167 billion.
37:57We have,
37:59for instance, the foregone investment
38:01due to crime.
38:03We also have foregone revenues
38:05from tourism
38:07basically because of that
38:09negative
38:13what do you call it?
38:15Negative picture
38:17of having POGO activities in the Philippines
38:19may in fact
38:21affect the tourism industry.
38:23In another open letter,
38:25some groups called
38:27Bongbong Marcos,
38:29was ordered by the PAG Corps to cancel
38:31all licenses of POGOs
38:33that kill people from China.
38:35It is illegal
38:37any type of gambling in China.
38:39This is against the regulations of the PAG Corps
38:41that prohibits
38:43any gaming websites in the Philippines
38:45from accessing
38:47countries that prohibit gambling.
38:49Somebody is making a lot of money
38:51but we've got to stop it.
38:53We fooled ourselves.
38:55For the President,
38:57this is the moment,
38:59this is the specific circumstance
39:01that the President should step in.
39:03Because the people below,
39:05the PAG Corps is under the office of the President.
39:07He has to stop it.
39:09For the GMA Integrated News,
39:11Tina Panganipan Perez,
39:13reporting for 24 Hours.
39:17Kylie Padilla was challenged
39:19to talk about the real status of her love life
39:21in Fast Talk with Boya Bunda.
39:25Single or ready
39:27to mingle?
39:29Uhm...
39:31Taken?
39:35Kylie's partner
39:37is non-showbiz.
39:39She's happy because she'll be able to show
39:41her authentic self and her showbiz
39:43and non-showbiz life
39:45will be more balanced.
39:47Kylie's current partner
39:49was with her on her Japan trip last April.
39:51She learned about their
39:53relationship.
39:57And it taught me to just trust myself
39:59more. Really.
40:01And not be too scared to be myself.
40:05In the Court of Appeals,
40:07Campo's representative, Franz Castro
40:09and Sator Ocampo
40:11will be held guilty by the Tagom RTC.
40:13This is the first time
40:15that a young woman
40:17was involved in a solidarity
40:19mission for the Lumad.
40:21Jun will be the judge.
40:25I'm not ready to be jailed
40:27because I know
40:29that we're in the right direction.
40:33Act Teacher's Party List
40:35Representative Franz Castro
40:37will be held guilty by the Tagom RTC
40:39against her,
40:41Sator Ocampo and 11 others.
40:43This is for the case of
40:45Special Protection of Children Against Abuse,
40:47Exploitation and Discrimination Act.
40:49After what was put
40:51in the hands of some minors
40:53in a solidarity mission
40:55for the Lumad in Davao del Norte
40:57in 2018.
40:59They plan to appeal the decision
41:01in the Court of Appeals,
41:03including the sentence of 4 to 6 years in prison
41:05and a fine of P10,000
41:07civil indemnity and P10,000
41:09moral damages for each
41:11of the 14 minors.
41:13We would like
41:15our court
41:17to rectify this situation.
41:19The case was dismissed
41:21after the Lumad schools
41:23in Talaingod, Davao del Norte
41:25were shut down
41:27in what is believed to be the breeding ground of the rebels.
41:29The group of Castro and Ocampo
41:31joined the solidarity mission
41:33to help the students
41:35and teachers of the Lumad.
41:37According to the court,
41:39the children of their teachers
41:41were brought to a dark, unrescued road
41:43and they walked for three hours
41:45for the so-called mission.
41:47According to the court,
41:49they may have been shot by the military
41:51or by a rebel.
41:53They may have been attacked by animals
41:55or fallen from a cliff
41:57or slipped on a slippery road.
41:59It rained then,
42:01so the children were wet,
42:03shivering, and hungry,
42:05so the minors were put in danger.
42:07Then, the children of the group
42:09of Ocampo and Castro
42:11were escorted by a van
42:13According to the court,
42:15they were told that
42:17they still have 80,000 pesos in their bank account
42:19until the appeal
42:21is resolved.
42:23If there is an attempt to arrest us,
42:25they have no basis,
42:27so we are free.
42:29And we will use that freedom
42:31to fight this case,
42:33to fight for the rights
42:35of our children
42:37and other poor citizens.
42:40Castro and Ocampo have been facing
42:42the media for a long time.
42:44We are very angry
42:46because Ocampo and Castro
42:48are not the ones who bombarded
42:50our communities.
42:52They are not the ones harassing us.
42:54They are the ones who are helping us.
42:56But the military said
42:58that there are other groups
43:00who are spreading rumors
43:02for the court hearing
43:04in Tagum City, Davao del Norte.
43:06For GMA Integrated News,
43:09the Finance Department
43:11asked the Bureau of Treasury
43:13for almost Php 70 billion
43:15not used by PhilHealth
43:17to be used for unprogrammed appropriations.
43:19The question of some groups
43:21is, why not lower the price of PhilHealth
43:23or increase the benefit?
43:25Marie Zumali learned the lesson.
43:30Of the many patients who rely
43:32on the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation
43:34or PhilHealth for their treatment,
43:36it came out that the agency

43:44from the government's subsidy.
