00:00We will all be together in Saksi!

00:13New in Saksi, Ilo Ilo City has increased in the number of LGUs who are prohibited from operating firecrackers in their area.

00:22In the sound of the camera earlier, the loud noise was broadcasted by some people who tried to escape from the firecrackers.

00:30Beware, you will be watching a sensitive video.

00:33Saksi, Tina Panganiban Perez.

00:38Even though she was caught, there is still pain in that woman who was suspected of escaping to report to the authorities.

00:46One of them was electrocuted while posing in the bed frame.

00:51This man was beaten on the head.

00:54He was supposed to be saved but he was not saved by the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission or PAOC.

01:01The videos of torture were broadcasted in the sound of the camera about the firecrackers.

01:07It was also asked if the videos could be broadcasted because anyone can watch the live stream.

01:14There are kids who may view these videos.

01:19Testimony and stories is enough.

01:21What we are trying to portray here is the evil of the illegal activities.

01:27It was done by other foreigners in cahoots with Filipinos.

01:32According to some people who were saved by PAOC, they entered the country as tourists and they will get a working visa.

01:41But the firecrackers were not entered by the company.

01:45This foreigner was kidnapped and brought to Porac Pogo on June 2 and was saved by PAOC on June 5.

01:53150 foreigners were brought there.

01:56280 were brought by the firecrackers in Bambad, including this foreigner.

02:02His friend told him that we will just eat.

02:05He sold it for P300,000.

02:08But he did not know.

02:09And these operations have uncovered the extent of criminal activities associated with Pogos.

02:15From serving as a hub for human trafficking to engaging in crimes and cyber crimes like club scams, loan scams, kidnappings, prostitution, murders, and a nest for international wanted persons.

02:32Scam farms in other countries are almost the same.

02:36Like in Myanmar, where a Filipino was saved.

02:40The first child was encoded to him.

02:42But when he got there, he became a scammer.

02:45Will you chat or will you convince him to invest?

02:51Yes, to invest.

02:52Or this is what is called a love scam?

02:54Yes.

02:55Did you get involved in a love scam? Were you tortured?

02:56Yes.

02:57If you go home, you will pay P7,000.

03:01More than 400 cancelled Pogos and scam farms in the country were submitted to the committee.

03:07Only 45 Pogos were licensed in the country, according to the PADCORP.

03:11Three were suspended.

03:13PADCORP has a hard time fighting illegal gambling due to online influencers.

03:19They use platforms such as Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube to encourage prospective players to try their luck.

03:29Many young people can play on these illegal platforms.

03:36The licenses of Pogos or IGLs have been used to create a veneer of legality for their illegal activity.

03:43Some Pogos will continue to operate despite the ban.

03:46If there will be a ban, we will continue to operate against these illegal Pogos.

03:52The Iloilo Council passed a resolution banning the operation of Pogos in the city.

03:59Last week, Mayor Jerry Trenas issued an executive order to ban Pogos.

04:05Aside from Iloilo City, several LGUs also banned Pogos in their area.

04:11The DILG met with the mayors to talk about Pogos.

04:18I will legalize all registered businesses one by one.

04:24The various business groups in the country supported the recommendation of the finance secretary and NEDA chief to completely ban Pogos.

04:33In addition to the Pogos issues, a resolution was also issued to the House of Representatives

04:38to investigate the issuance of PEC and BIRD certificates and passports abroad.

04:44For GMA Integrated News, I am Tina Panganipan-Perez, your witness.

04:51Before the witness, a Manila police officer was arrested after firing a gun while drinking.

04:57Interior Secretary Benjer Abalos dismissed the incidents of police misconduct,

05:03as well as the involvement of two more police officers in the road range.

05:07Witness, Mark Salazar.

05:09CCTV footage of Barangay 87 captured this commotion in Tondo, Manila.

05:18It was followed by the firing of a gun by Police Corporal Raven Joe Santiago while drinking with the neighbors.

05:27He was arrested and detained in the Manila Police District while preparing for the case.

05:33CCTV footage of Barangay 87 captured this commotion in Tondo, Manila.

05:35It was followed by the firing of a gun by Police Corporal Raven Joe Santiago while drinking.

05:39I'll just get the details here and I will inform Ilyas about this.

05:44Do this immediately.

05:46The Interior Department was dismayed by the ongoing police misconduct,

05:51especially yesterday, when a police staff sergeant, Ernesto Camacho,

05:56and a police staff sergeant, Robert Cabudoy, were involved in a road rage in Valenzuela.

06:02According to the police report, the victim had a bad view of the two police officers

06:07because they were not wearing helmets.

06:09That's why Camacho pulled the gun and shot the victim.

06:14They were shot on the spot.

06:16We are paid by our fellow countrymen to take care of the criminality and safety of the people.

06:23But if they will do the opposite, they will abuse and discharge guns,

06:28then this should be investigated.

06:31For GMA Integrated News, Mark Salazar is your witness.

06:38A triathlete is complaining about a driver of a pickup truck in Cagayan de Oro City.

06:42He got hit while riding a bicycle.

06:45The incident went viral when a GMA Regional TV witnessed it.

06:51A triathlete who rides a bicycle is also a viral video uploader

06:56and a driver of a pickup truck in Cagayan de Oro City.

07:00The uploader's anger can be heard in the video.

07:04The pickup truck driver also jumped on his cell phone and was also punched by the uploader.

07:10GMA Regional TV One Mindanao exclusively talked to the driver of the pickup truck.

07:16GMA Regional TV One Mindanao exclusively talked to the uploader, John Tumanda.

07:22The incident happened on Tuesday morning while he was riding a bicycle on the National Highway

07:28as a preparation for his upcoming competition.

07:32He was just surprised when he was suddenly punched by the driver of his pickup truck.

07:38I was shocked.

07:39They were just riding a bicycle.

07:41Their intention was to punch me.

07:43They punched me on my cell phone.

07:44John was rushed to the hospital for medical examination

07:48to examine his arm that was hit in the incident.

07:52He also went to Cugman Police Station and reported what happened.

07:57He also had a message to the driver of the pickup truck.

08:01Sir, I have a message for you.

08:04If you are a driver, you should ride a bicycle.

08:10It's not the same.

08:11What if I'm in a bad situation and you are the one who will ride a bicycle?

08:14I will be the one who will help you.

08:16GMA Regional TV One Mindanao is also trying to get the message of the pickup driver and his driver.

08:24For GMA Integrated News, Cyril Chavez of GMA Regional TV is your witness.

08:33It's time for the Philippines to file a new arbitration case against the West Philippine Sea.

08:39This is the case of the retired Supreme Court Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio.

08:43Two ships of the China Coast Guard were hit,

08:46close to two of the largest ships of the Philippine Coast Guard.

08:51Witness, Chino Gaston.

08:53On the other hand, this rubber boat was hit by a water cannon.

09:01But this is not a new incident of harassment in the West Philippine Sea,

09:05but a part of the practice of the Philippine Coast Guard and the U.S. Coast Guard

09:09near Lubang Island in Occidental Mindoro.

09:15Search and Rescue and Medical Evacuation are the main focus of the practice.

09:21USCG Cutter Waysh and one of the largest ships of the PCG, BRP Melchorra Aquino,

09:29were near the China Coast Guard Vessel 5303, 15 nautical miles, while practicing.

09:37In the last monitoring of the PCG, it left towards the direction of Palawan.

09:41It was reported that it came close to Lubang Island at a distance of 16 nautical miles.

09:50So that is also true.

09:52In response to the incursive presence of the Chinese Coast Guard in Lubang Island,

09:59the commandant of the Philippine Coast Guard, Admiral Ron Hilgaban,

10:02has also deployed the BRP Melchorra Aquino.

10:07We showed the flag by deploying our vessel,

10:11and then at the same time, see to it that they are going to depart.

10:15The BRP Melchorra Aquino, 97 meters in size,

10:18is the BRP Teresa Magbanwa that was stranded in the Sabina or Escoda Shoal for several months.

10:24Earlier this morning, the BRP Teresa Magbanwa was 600 meters away

10:28from the Chinese Coast Guard's monster ship.

10:31So I would like to confirm that as of 7.30 in the morning,

10:36the last image that I got from our Coast Guard personnel from 9701,

10:42the China Coast Guard monster ship remains to be inside the Escoda Shoal.

10:47It never departed and is still anchored there.

10:50We also periodically challenged them over the radio,

10:55calling them out and telling them that they are within our exclusive economic zone

11:00and that they have to tell us what is their intention.

11:05China has long said that their ship remains in the Escoda Shoal

11:09because the Philippines' outpost is being built there.

11:13According to retired Supreme Court Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio,

11:17it is time for a new arbitration case to be filed against UNCLOS.

11:21After China opposed the Philippines' request

11:24to give an extended continental shelf in the West Philippine Sea.

11:28Joint patrols are one of the strongest enforcement measures of the arbitral award.

11:39They're telling China we can conduct these naval drills, aerial drills,

11:45because these waters constitute the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines

11:51in accordance with the arbitral award.

11:53In the exclusive economic zone under UNCLOS,

11:56that is the strongest enforcement so far.

11:59Eight years since the 2016 arbitral award was issued,

12:03China still does not recognize it.

12:05One of the ways to strengthen it is the Philippine Maritime Zones Bill

12:11which was just signed by the President,

12:13the need for it to be legalized.

12:14It will establish the limits of the Philippine Maritime Zones

12:18and the rights of the country within it.

12:21We included it in the Palawan, we included it in the Philippine Rise.

12:25Our rights and boundaries are clear.

12:29It is clear that we have a law where we can sail and fish.

12:36With that act, we're also now laying the groundwork

12:41for improving our law enforcement within these maritime zones.

12:47China has always opposed the so-called arbitral award

12:50and they also include the so-called Shol and Spratlys.

12:54According to the Chinese Foreign Ministry,

12:56they support direct negotiations between China and the Philippines.

13:01This is in accordance with the aforementioned

13:03Arrangement on Improving Philippines-China Maritime Communication Mechanisms

13:08signed by our Department of Foreign Affairs.

13:11This will provide a way for the two countries to negotiate

13:15when it comes to maritime issues.

13:17It can be done through the so-called leadership of their leaders,

13:21through the DFA and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China

13:25up to the level of Foreign Minister and Vice Foreign Minister

13:29and through their Coast Guard.

13:31The DFA is coordinating with China for its guidelines.
