00:00We will be with you in Saksi!
00:14In just 11 seconds, 10 million Pesos worth of goods were smuggled to a store in Cebu City.
00:22The store was also attacked where 4 million Pesos worth of goods were smuggled.
00:29Saksi! This is Alan Domingo of GMA Regional TV.
00:36In the CCTV footage, 3 to 4 armed men entered a jewelry store in Barangay Ermita in Cebu City around 11 o'clock this morning.
00:45The suspects quickly forgot the display of the goods.
00:51According to the investigation, 5 suspects were the goods worth 10 million Pesos in just 11 seconds
01:01when they found out that there was no security guard in the store.
01:04There were 5 suspects.
01:12One of the suspects was wearing a white shirt.
01:17The other one was wearing a brown shirt.
01:22When I saw him, I called the security guard and told him to watch him.
01:34When I saw him, he looked like he was in danger.
01:38I called the security guard and told him to watch him.
01:41The jewelry store was also attacked where 4 million Pesos worth of goods were smuggled.
01:50The CCTV footage did not reveal the whereabouts of the establishment in the media.
01:57Unlike the store where there was a security guard,
01:59the store did not have a fight with the armed suspects.
02:04I saw 5 armed men.
02:10Rumors were also that there were police officers in the store but none were involved in the crime.
02:16Based on the evidence, one of the suspects was identified.
02:22There was a robbery hold-up.
02:25There were two lockouts in the store.
02:32Initially, we identified one of the suspects.
02:36We are still conducting hot force operations.
02:38Cebu City Acting Mayor Raymond Alvin Garcia ordered the police
02:43to open the locked robbery case for 48 hours.
02:48For GMA Integrated News, I am Allan Domingo of GMA Regional TV,
02:52and here is your witness.
02:56He was shot with a gun and was forced to send money.
03:00That is what the Vietnamese businessman said when 4 Chinese nationals
03:05approached him.
03:07The suspects said that they were his co-workers.
03:10Witness, John Consulta.
03:13Sir, police, police.
03:16The Chinese nationals were caught by the SWAT and Paranaque Police
03:21on the 11th floor of a condo in Paranaque City.
03:24A suspect, who was a member of a kidnapper ransom group, managed to escape.
03:33According to the NCRPO, which is prohibited in the basement parking of the condo,
03:36the three of his co-workers were caught by the suspects with three guns,
03:41a silencer, and various party drugs.
03:44Based on the investigation, one of the suspects pretended to be a client
03:48and contacted the victim, a Vietnamese businessman with a money exchange business.
03:52The Vietnamese was completely shocked and forced to access the digital wallet.
03:56During the time she stayed there in the suspect residence,
04:01they have been abused her, put a gun on her,
04:06and also knifed on her body to force her to send the money.
04:11The suspects have already seized the money and assets of the Vietnamese victim,
04:15which was still being given to her children.
04:17According to the NCRPO, the suspects are members of a syndicate
04:21that sells mussels to foreign companies in order to bribe them.
04:25They were able to steal jewelry, withdraw money,
04:31and transfer about 2 million, 20 million pesos.
04:34Their motive here is to attack,
04:38particularly they are preying on POGO officials or POGO employees,
04:44or particularly foreign nationals, Vietnamese, Cambodian, or even Chinese nationals.
04:50Another target of the group, who escaped and asked for help,
04:54are the suspects.
04:56They have been living abroad for three years and working as POGO workers.
05:00What's your work?
05:02POGO
05:04They refused to give them the guns obtained during the operation.
05:08Do you have a pistol?
05:10No, no, no. I don't have.
05:12There are already four cases of rape and kidnapping of suspects in Southern Metro Manila.
05:15The NCRPO found out that one of the arrested suspects was wanted in China
05:20for rape, murder, kidnapping, human trafficking, and extortion.
05:24The suspect and other members of their group are still being pursued.
05:29For GMA Integrated News, I'm your host, John Consulta.
05:35The 12 Chinese nationals who were involved in the Love Scam were arrested.
05:39Their Chinese partner was beaten, tortured, and forced to go crazy.
05:45Chino Gaston witnessed it.
05:50The 12 Chinese nationals were arrested during the negotiation of the NBI Special Task Force on August 6.
05:58They are facing a violation of the Cybercrime Prevention Act.
06:00They were accused of helping, hurting, torturing, and forcing to go crazy online.
06:05The Chinese informant of the NBI,
06:08a lover of the victim of the scam,
06:10and most of all, of taking money.
06:12He was beaten, he was shot, and he was electrocuted.
06:16After that, he took 500,000 pesos in exchange for his freedom.
06:21He only paid 300,000 pesos.
06:23After that, he was released.
06:25He was threatened that if he reported to the police, he would be killed.
06:30According to the PNP, more than 21,000 cases of cybercrime were reported in 2023.
06:36More than 8,000 from January to July 4 of this year.
06:40But according to the PNP, the incidents of cybercrime are decreasing.
06:44The impact of these initiatives is evident in the reduction of overall crime volume by 14,666 from July 2023 to June 2024.
06:56Significant decreases in rape, carnapping, robbery, along with a 21.09% reduction in cybercrime incidents.
07:06Highlight the effectiveness of our upgraded capabilities and efforts.
07:11For GMA Integrated News, who is your witness?
07:16Vice President Sara Duterte commented on the Octa Research survey,
07:20where the number of Filipinos who say they are pro-Duterte decreased.
07:25The vice president also highlighted one of the reasons why she voted as a member of the Cabinet,
07:30which has something to do with the budget.
07:32Witness, Marisol Abdurrama.
07:37Just now, the vice president re-unlocked her interview.
07:41After formally turning over the leadership of the DepEd,
07:44the reasons for her voting as a member of the Cabinet,
07:48she said she can't do it alone.
07:50The list of reasons is really long.
07:54And it's different categories.
07:56There's personal, just the two of us.
07:58There's DepEd.
08:01There's budget.
08:03There's also in the country.
08:05So, the list is a bit long.
08:10And for now, I'm not yet ready to sit down and discuss it one by one.
08:16But I will tell you,
08:17someday.
08:19Someday, I just don't know when that day and time will come.
08:23But she divided one of the reasons into two,
08:27which has something to do with the budget of the government.
08:29But if you just read the list,
08:31and you trace where the money is going,
08:35you will see that the handling of the money,
08:41the budget of the government is not good.
08:44I tried to correct what I saw wrong.
08:50But of course, I didn't get any support.
08:54I didn't see any change.
08:56That's why I said that it won't be repeated in my budget for 2025.
09:02I can't handle the Department of Education budget
09:07and just repeat what we did before.
09:09How is your relationship with BBN, ma'am?
09:11Oh, we haven't seen each other and we haven't talked to President Marcos.
09:17I don't have a description of our relationship now with President Marcos.
09:22We haven't talked to each other.
09:24Now that he is no longer in the administration's power,
09:26the vice president seems to be talking more freely.
09:29Just yesterday, his words came out against the government.
09:33For the vice president,
09:35throw stones at the sky, hit, don't get angry.
09:38Whoever you see reacting publicly and privately to what I'm saying,
09:44those are the people who are affected by what I said in my statements yesterday.
09:52Those who are not up to the service, not up to their job,
09:59and not up to serving the country.
10:02My frustration as a vice president
10:05and as a Filipino in what is happening,
10:10or what we hear from our government,
10:13I said that I am not moving for the administration,
10:19I am not moving for the opposition,
10:22not for politics, but for the country.
10:24VP Sara was surprised by the Octa Research survey
10:28where the number of Filipinos who claim to be pro-Duterte went down.
10:32I was surprised because I just saw a survey
10:37that asked if you are pro-Marcos or pro-Duterte.
10:43You really spent money.
10:46People will ask if you are pro-Marcos or pro-Duterte.
10:52Maybe it should be put there if you are pro-Philippines.
10:56I'm sure all of that will be transferred to the pro-Philippines.
11:01If you read it right away, the motive is perpetuation in power.
11:06All of the threats to your power will be destroyed.
11:13It's very obvious.
11:16To everything you hear, see, and do,
11:20the motive is,
11:21I don't want this to happen to me forever.
11:26That's why I will destroy you all.
11:28I don't care if it's true or not,
11:32I will destroy you as long as you are destroyed.
11:36That's the motive.
11:38It's all about politics.
11:40Everything is all about politics and power.
11:44We also asked Vice how her security is now.
11:48Surveillance, casings,
11:52that's how the PNP harasses.
11:56That's the mode of the PNP when they want to harass people.
12:04It depends on you if you will notice,
12:07if you are angry, or what you will do.
12:09What we are doing now,
12:11we are just recording everything they are doing.
12:14We get the caps,
12:16then we put it in a file.
12:18Do I feel threatened?
12:20Yes.
12:22This is not the first time that we had a problem with politics as a family.
12:30For GMA Integrated News,
12:32Marisol Abduraman is your witness.
12:37We are still trying to get the invitation of the palace
12:40in advance of what the Vice President said.
12:43And our new witness,
12:45a fire broke out in Balutondo, Manila last night.
12:48Our live witness,

12:52Jamie?
12:57The second floor of the burning house
13:00in the area of Gedote Street, Balutondo
13:03is still on fire.
13:06The Bureau of Fire Protection and Fire Volunteers
13:09are on the scene
13:11to identify the fire that broke out in Gedote Street, Balutondo, Manila.

13:18the BFP raised the first alarm
13:21that the fire broke out in a warehouse.
13:23A few minutes later,
13:25it was raised to the second alarm.
13:28The BFP and Fire Volunteers
13:30wearing breathing apparatus
13:33entered the house.
13:35According to a Fire Volunteer who came from inside the house,
13:37there was almost zero visibility inside the burning building
13:41because of the thick smoke.
13:43He was able to sit on the side
13:45of the exit from the building.
13:47Although it is difficult to enter the building,
13:49the firefighters are trying their best
13:51to ventilate the area
13:53so that the fire can be extinguished.
13:55Some of what they saw inside the house
13:57were some electric tools.
13:59The firefighters are continuously extinguishing the fire
14:02and identifying the cause of the fire.
14:04And this is the latest from here in Manila
14:07for Jimei Integrated News,
14:09Jamie Santos is your eyewitness.
14:13Taxi dispatchers at IA Terminal 1
14:16were arrested because of a complaint of bribery.
14:32The complainants are a group of taxi drivers
14:35who were arrested by the CIDG.
14:37They are asking for 100 pesos
14:40per taxi driver
14:43so that they can ride the passengers,
14:46especially those who are traveling from Manila
14:49to other provinces or even further.
14:53According to the PNP-CIDG,
14:55they are already negotiating with the MIA.
14:58The initial investigation shows that
15:00a third-party contractor was arrested
15:02who refused to give the money.
15:04He is facing a complaint of robbery extortion.
15:05Jimei Integrated News is still getting
15:08the panic of the MIA.
15:10The National Kidney and Transplant Institute's gym
15:13was made into a leptospirosis ward.
15:16As of now, 48 leptospirosis patients
15:19are confined in the NKTI.
15:21There are 10 more patients waiting in the emergency room
15:24who cannot be admitted
15:26because there is a shortage of nurses and doctors.
15:28But the NKTI said
15:30that this is common in hospitals
15:32after a strong storm.
15:34Gross Domestic Product of the Philippines
15:37fell in the second quarter of 2024.

15:43from April to June
15:45fell faster in the first quarter.
15:47The infrastructure of the government
15:49and information and communication
15:51is also affected.
15:53This is the fastest decline
15:55in the last five quarters.
15:57Almost 6.4% of the first quarter of 2023.
16:01For Jimei Integrated News,

17:31At the end of this all,
17:33what we want is

17:39that the pastor is doing.
17:41According to the lawyer of Kibuloy
17:43and his religious group,
17:45this will not be commented
17:47until the copy of the freeze order
17:49has been obtained.
17:51SMNI said that
17:53it respects the decision
17:55but it will issue a motion to the CA
17:57to revoke the order
17:59or request a temporary restraining order
18:01from the Supreme Court.
18:03Here is the reference.
18:05Your witness.
18:07Two-time Olympic gold medalist,
18:09Carlos Yulo,
18:11thanked the supporters
18:13and helped in his journey.
18:15His victory served as an inspiration
18:17to the young gymnasts.
18:19Our witness.
18:23The double gold Olympic victory
18:25of Carlos Yulo
18:28is now an inspiration
18:30for the young gymnasts.
18:31We are proud as athletes
18:33of gymnastics
18:35because it is easy to recognize
18:37our sport
18:40and we are athletes.
18:43When Kibuloy called,
18:45they realized that
18:47men can be angry,
18:49we can break the gender norms.
18:51It is the ultimate goal
18:53if Carlos considers
18:55the double gold medal
18:57that he used in the men's gymnastics
18:59of 2024 Paris Olympics
19:01but he said in an interview
19:03in 24 Hours,
19:05he is not yet finished
19:07in the world of strength.
19:09I am not asking for anything else now.
19:11I am so grateful to the Lord
19:13that He heard me
19:15and He did not forsake me
19:17in all the challenges
19:19that He gave me
19:21and I grew.
19:23I will not stop.
19:25Of course, I still want to participate
19:27in the Olympics in 2028.
19:29Yulo is very thankful
19:31to his coach
19:33and to other people
19:35who helped him in his training.
19:37We did our best
19:39in all aspects of training
19:41and we really worked hard.
19:43We were asked a lot
19:45by coaches
19:47about their strategies.
19:49Chloe is also a girlfriend.
19:51I took care of my mental health
19:53and my well-being.
19:55I got to know myself
19:57personally.
19:59Through ups and downs,
20:01I got to know Chloe.
20:03And when it comes to
20:05the good luck
20:07of other institutions
20:09and establishments,
20:11Yulo said,
20:13I will handle it.
20:15For now,
20:17Yulo is focused
20:19on his personal life.
20:21They will focus on
20:23their goal of success
20:25but he also needs to prepare
20:27for his next match
20:29in gymnastics.
20:31That's our plan
20:33and I need to adjust.
20:35For the GMA Indicated News,
20:37Oscar Oidang Inyong,
20:39succeed!
20:41Former Philippine Navy Chief
20:43Vice Admiral Robert M. Pedrad
20:45called the allegations
20:47of former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV.
20:49According to M. Pedrad,
20:51he has nothing else to do
20:53but to defend himself
20:55while maintaining
20:57his conscience.
20:59Trillanes' motive
21:01is to defend his conscience.
21:03M. Pedrad faced investigations
21:05from the Senate,
21:07the Camera,
21:09and the Commission on Appointments
21:11and he became consistent.
21:13The judges also did not see
21:15any anomalies
21:17so he was confirmed
21:19as a Navy Chief.
21:21He also added that
21:23he is not really involved
21:25in the anomalies
21:27because he retired
21:29when the Navy
21:31became the President's party
21:33and the party he sometimes left.
21:35He is the Nationalist Party
21:37that became the party of his father.
21:39Success!
21:41Ian Cruz!
21:48Less than a year
21:50before the election of 2025,
21:52a new alliance was formed
21:54between President Marcos' party
21:56and the Philippine Federal Party
21:58or PFP
21:59led by the Nationalist Party
22:01or NP.
22:03The NP was led by
22:05former Senator Manny Villar,
22:07the newest ally of the PFP
22:09that was the first
22:11to form an alliance
22:13with NUCD,
22:15Nationalist People's Coalition
22:17and National Unity Party.
22:19I'm very very happy
22:21that we are today
22:23formalizing that alliance
22:25and that alliance
22:27now has formed
22:29in the Philippines.
22:31We need to prove
22:33to the Filipino people
22:35that we are a nation
22:37capable of rising above
22:39our differences
22:41in order to build
22:43a bright future for the country.
22:45The President himself
22:47also retired
22:49from the Nationalist Party
22:51that became the party of his father.
22:53He just left
22:55and joined the Philippine Federal Party
22:56I just left the NP
22:58because I'm running for president
23:00and I'm in a hurry.
23:02The NP was still
23:04the Nationalist Party leadership
23:07was still
23:09trying to assess
23:11what will be the political
23:13situation
23:15for the last political cycles
23:17of the 2022 elections.
23:19It's not because we didn't agree
23:21it's because I'm in a hurry.
23:23The Senator doesn't have a lineup
23:24for the coalition
23:26but the PFP believes
23:28that there's a big chance
23:30that the candidates they will endorse
23:32will lead the midterm elections.
23:34When the election comes
23:36it's really big
23:38because we will talk
23:40about who we will fight
23:42and we will also talk
23:44about what will happen
23:46in our different areas.
23:48According to the representative
23:50Ace Barbers of the NP
23:51the Nationalist Party
23:53has 28 members.
23:55It has 10 governors
23:57and more than the other local posts.
24:00For GMI Integrated News
24:03Ian Cruz is your witness.
24:07In this house in Tulsa, Oklahoma
24:09in America
24:11a dog was seen carrying
24:13a powerful powerbank
24:15to his mattress.
24:17Another dog and a cat
24:19were also resting on the mattress.
24:21When he picked up the powerbank
24:23it suddenly slapped him.
24:25The animals ran away
24:27when the fire broke out.
24:29Fortunately, no one was hurt
24:31and the animals were rescued.
24:33The powerbank uses
24:35a lithium-ion battery

27:54Hello Winters are still far away
27:56but those who dress up
27:58in Japan are still alive.
28:04Even though the weather
28:06is hot in Japan,
28:08the coldness in fear
28:10is hidden in the bones
28:12because it's the haunted house season.
28:14The Japanese believe
28:16that every summer,
28:18they go back to their old homes
28:20and go to the household altars
28:22to visit the spirits of the deceased.
28:24That happens every Ubon holiday
28:26in the middle of August.
28:28The haunted houses are now closed
28:30with realistic production design
28:31and powerful sound effects.
