NewsTranscript
00:00Live from the GMA Network Center, 20 years have passed, 24 hours.
00:12Good evening, Luzon Visayas and Mindanao.
00:16It's still July, the Philippines is out.
00:20Alice Goh, the Mayor of Silivac, is also involved in illegal activities in Pogo, in Bambantara.
00:27Based on the documents presented by Senator Riza Ontiveros.
00:32There, Goh met his parents and siblings,
00:37as well as a businessman who is involved in Pogo, Sapor and Pampanga.
00:41And Ma'am Gonzalez was there.
00:46Alice Leal Goh went to many places to catch and serve the arrest order,
00:50but she was only out of the Philippines for a month.
00:54Based on the documents presented by the Chairperson of the Senate Committee on Women and Children,
00:59Goh traveled in the morning of July 18, 2024 and arrived in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia last afternoon.
01:06This is a match to her Philippine passport, which I will flash now.
01:12Thank you very much to NBI for this information.
01:16They will continue to track Alice Goh.
01:20From Malaysia, Goh continued to travel to Singapore to meet his family, according to the source of the committee.
01:27They met his parents, Lin Wenyi and Goh Jianzhong.
01:34The couple flew in from China on July 28, 2024.
01:40They had a short reunion there with Wesley Goh and Cassandra Ong.
01:47Cassandra Ong was connected to the raid of Lucky South 99 Pogo in Porak, Pampanga.
01:53Ontiveros was worried that Goh would not be able to leave the Philippines if there was no help from the government,
01:58especially since there was a look-out bulletin order against him.
02:02That's why the immigration officers should be alerted to his plans to go abroad.
02:06What if the law enforcement itself needs to investigate?
02:11What if they drop the ball?
02:14What if they are the ones who should be held accountable?
02:17Some senators called Goh's flight a chartered flight.
02:21It is clear which private plane or chartered plane left the country that very day from the Philippines.
02:29That's where they will be tracked.
02:31And who are the CIQs who processed their passports because of immigration and quarantine.
02:36If the flight number now registers to a chartered plane, then you can find out who owns the chartered plane.
02:43And because Goh is very popular, he is known to the pilots.
02:50It is impossible for them not to know who their passengers are.
03:02It is noteworthy that Goh's biometrics do not have a picture in the document obtained by Ontiveros.
03:07If we enlarge the photo in the slide I showed earlier,
03:13his image was not captured in the CCTV.
03:17So he passed through spots where his video image will not be caught.
03:24Maybe someone taught him.
03:26And not only here in our immigration, it is possible in the immigration of other ASEAN countries.
03:31According to the Justice Department,
03:34Goh is still in the Philippines and there is no immigration report that he left the country.
03:38The counter affidavit that Goh was notarized on August 14 was still in force.
03:43And there are still seen law enforcement agencies after July 18.
03:48Senator Win Gatchalian said,
03:50his office checked the law firm that filed Goh's counter affidavit.
03:54And it is now revealed that the lawyer who notarized the document,
03:58Atty. Elmer Galicia.
04:00Goh Hopping went to him personally on August 14, 2024.
04:08So we were really fooled because he went out and came back.
04:16Despite the fact that there is an arrest warrant,
04:20he did not notice it.
04:22We got permission from Goh's camp, his law firm, and Galicia,
04:27BI and Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines or CAA, but they still have no evidence.
04:32The Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission is also investigating if the information is true,
04:36while the NBI is consulting with their counterparts in Malaysia and Singapore to verify it.
04:42For GMA Integrated News, Maav Gonzalez, Nakatutok, 24 Hours.
04:48According to DOJ spokesperson, Mico Clavano,
04:52they are continuously gathering information from the Bureau of Immigration and the NBI.
04:57And if Goh really left the country,
05:00the GATE of Clavano needs a deep investigation
05:04to answer the people responsible for his departure.
05:09A volcanic smog or bomb was detected from the Taal Volcano
05:15to more than 30 towns and villages in Batangas.
05:19It also reached other provinces like Occidental Mindoro.
05:23Live from Batangas, Nakatutok, Paul Hernandez of GMA Regional TV.
05:29Paul?
05:31Mel, there's still no sign of being brought to the hospital because of the volcanic smog or bomb,
05:36but the N95 face mask has been distributed to the authorities to ensure the safety of the public.
05:45The volcanic smog or bomb was clearly detected in Batangas today,
05:51which is what the tricycle drivers are enduring in Balete, Batangas.
05:54Because the smog is so bad, we were able to enter the volcano.
05:59There was also a smog yesterday.
06:02It was worse yesterday.
06:04It's worse now.
06:06The volcano is hurting us.
06:09We are afraid.
06:11More than 30 towns and villages were affected by the volcanic smog
06:15according to the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office or PDRRMO Batangas.
06:19Among the towns surrounding the volcano,
06:22face-to-face classes and distance learning will be suspended.
06:27In Lipas City, face-to-face classes for elementary schools in Barangay Halang, Sico, and San Salvador were suspended.
06:35Of the 31 out of 34 municipalities that we have, there are 4 cities there.
06:41We know that the wind is really bad.
06:45The volcanic smog is happening because the volcanic gas of Taal Volcano was blown up.
06:49It was trapped in the Himpapawid so it mixed with the smog.
06:52According to PHIVOX, the wind speed in Taal Volcano Island is slow
06:57so the volcanic gas is not dissipated or destroyed immediately.
07:00The plume of smoke reaches up to 2,400 meters.
07:06The last recorded sulfur dioxide emission in Taal Volcano Island reaches up to 3,300 meters.
07:12In Taal Lake, it's not moving. It's slow.
07:16The sulfur dioxide should be strong so it won't stay in one place.
07:21If the house cannot be avoided, face masks are installed
07:26so that the authorities can spread it to the affected areas.
07:29No one has been asked to go to the hospital because of the effect of the volcano.
07:34We are with the PHO.
07:36Nothing has been reported to us.
07:39Even though we are doing our best to get the data
07:43that there are people affected by respiratory problems or illnesses.
07:49PHIVOX has said several times that this is not a sign that Taal Volcano will erupt
07:54especially since there is no sign that it will happen.
07:57Because of the volcanic gas, face-to-face classes are suspended
08:01in all areas of Occidental Mindoro until tomorrow, August 1.
08:04Based on the announcement of the local government.
08:12As of now, PHIVOX cannot say until when this volcanic smog will be experienced
08:18or if the smog will only be destroyed when the wind speeds up
08:23in the Himpapawi in Taal Volcano Island.
08:26Thank you very much, Paul Hernandez of GMA Regional TV.
08:34The two ships of the Philippine Coast Guard were destroyed
08:37after the ships of the China Coast Guard were bombed.
08:40The Philippine Coast Guard even released a bomb
08:45aimed at their ship, the Chino Gaston.
08:51In this video posted by the China Coast Guard on the social messaging app,
08:55the BRP Bagacay and the Chinese Coast Guard Vessel 21551
09:00bombed the BRP Bagacay and the Chinese Coast Guard Vessel 21551
09:03The BRP Bagacay is part of the Rotation and Reprovision Mission
09:07in Patag and Lawak Islands in the West Philippine Sea.
09:09According to the PCG, the CCG vessel bombed the Bagacay twice
09:13causing minor structural damage.
09:16But according to the China Coast Guard in their post,
09:18the Philippines was the one who bombed the ship of the China Coast Guard.
09:22In another video, the China Coast Guard said that
09:25the PCG's ship suddenly turned around and bombed their ship.
09:29But according to the National Task Force of the West Philippine Sea
09:32spokesperson, Undersecretary Jonathan Malaya,
09:35the spliced and edited video from China is just a copy.
09:58When we bombed 21551, it was the other way around.
10:0221551, in truth, rammed our vessel, BRP Bagacay, two times.
10:08According to the PCG, the China Coast Guard 21551
10:12bombed the BRP Cabra several times
10:15in Iungin Shoal last September.
10:17It was also the one who chased after the BFAR vessel
10:20that sailed less than a month ago.
10:23Along with the bombing of the BRP Bagacay,
10:24the China Coast Guard vessel 3104 in Cape Engaño
10:27also bombed the BRP Bagacay.
10:30It left a deep U-shape and a big hole on the side of the PCG's ship.
10:35From inside the ship, you can see that the CCTV camera
10:38near the other equipment of the ship was also damaged
10:41due to the torn steel from the bombing.
10:44No crew was injured in the two ships.
10:47And even though it was damaged,
10:49the Cape Engaño and Bagacay continued towards Patag and Lawak Island.
10:53We can fairly say that this is the biggest structural damage
10:58that we have incurred as a result of the dangerous maneuver
11:03carried out by the Chinese Coast Guard which resulted to collision.
11:07Maybe they are thinking that these 44-meter vessels
11:11will be reinforcing the presence of Teresa Magbuan.
11:16The National Task Force on the West Philippine Sea
11:18was also involved in the Chinese Coast Guard's actions
11:21after the Philippines and China reached an agreement
11:24on a bilateral consultation mechanism
11:27regarding the resupply of BRP Sierra Madre to Yongin Shoal.
11:30According to the former Supreme Court Justice Antonio Carpio,
11:33the destruction of the Coast Guard vessels
11:35is a sufficient basis to file a complaint
11:38under the United Nations Convention on the Laws of the Sea.
11:41The best thing since the Coast Guard
11:43is a civilian vessel.
11:49This is now governed by UNCLOS.
11:51It's unlike Yongin Shoal which is a military activity.
11:55This is a civilian activity.
11:57We can go to UNCLOS and sue China for damages
12:03and the tribunal will reaffirm that that is part of the EEZ
12:08and that will again debunk China's 10-dash line.
12:11In a statement,
12:13U.S. Ambassador to the Philippines Mary Kay Carlson
12:15condemned the dangerous maneuvers of the China Coast Guard
12:18that endangered the life of the crew
12:21and destroyed two PCG vessels.
12:23The United States supports the right of friends,
12:27allies and allies under international law.
12:31For GMA Integrated News,
12:33Chino Gaston for 24 Hours.
12:36Almost Php 50 million worth of vegetables and fruits
12:41were smuggled from China
12:43and delivered to a warehouse in Navotas.
12:46It is being studied as to how this can benefit the public.
12:50And Darlene Kay is on the case.
12:55Because of a tip from an informant
12:57about this warehouse in Barangay Bangpulasi, Navotas City
13:00that operates without a permit or registration in the City Hall.
13:04Officials of the Department of Agriculture,
13:07Bureau of Customs, PNP and LGU
13:09will be together at the entrance of the warehouse
13:11where more than 300 tons of white onions,
13:14carrots, tomatoes and mushrooms were smuggled.
13:17The amount of goods will reach almost Php 50 million.
13:20What we caught is basically mis-declared goods.
13:24They used the reason of egg tart skin and kimchi.
13:30It's illegal.
13:31The products were smuggled from China
13:33but the consignee is a local who is being searched by the authorities.
13:36We will file charges.
13:39Usually, the consignee is the one who is being targeted.
13:43Let's see if there is a list of who owns this storage
13:49so that we can find out the real owner of this shipment.
13:54Along with the investigation on how the shipment was smuggled.
13:57Because it is illegal to import these tons of agricultural products to the country,
14:01it means that there is no permit
14:03and it is not safe to eat.
14:05That's why it might be dangerous if it reaches the market.
14:08Based on the rules of the Bureau of Plant Industry or BPI,
14:11it can be returned to the country where it came from
14:13or it can be destroyed.
14:15But the DA is also studying if it can still be used
14:19as long as it is proven to be safe to eat.
14:21Sampos already got samples from the DA-BPI for the food safety test.
14:25We will file an appropriate request to our court
14:27that this can still be sold.
14:29We will probably sell this to the DA if they allow it.
14:34For GMA Integrated News, Darlene Cai, for 24 Hours.
14:40For the first time, Sandra Mulac herself told the Senate
14:46about the sexual harassment committed by Richard Cruz and Jojo Nunez.
14:53In the middle, Nunez was contempted.
14:55Another celebrity complained to the Senate
14:59because she experienced sexual harassment committed by Ma'am Gonzalez.
15:07In the middle of the video conference,
15:10Sandra Mulac complained to the Senate
15:12about the allegations of sexual harassment in the media industry.
15:16She said that after their text exchange
15:19when she was complaining about the independent contractor of GMA Network, Jojo Nunez,
15:22she went to his room in a hotel in Pasay on the early morning of July 21.
15:28When she arrived at the room, Nunez was greeted by Sandra.
15:32She was accompanied by another complainant, Richard Cruz.
15:35Cruz was drunk and lying in bed.
15:38Nunez gave Sandra a glass of wine.
15:40When asked what happened next, Sandra hesitated to answer.
15:45What else did they offer you?
15:47I don't know if I can go into the details because it's really sensitive.
15:51Go ahead.
15:54Your Honor, with all due respect, as mentioned earlier to Senator Padilla,
16:01the other party is not accepting the...
16:04Oh, you want to have it in an executive session?
16:07If we don't finish this, this will go on for a long time.
16:13You're wasting our time here.
16:15Are you going to talk or not?
16:17If not, I'll leave.
16:18Sandra also held an executive session with the Senators.
16:23After this, she detailed what happened next.
16:27According to Sandra, Nunez was accused of drugs.
16:31I'll charge you 500 pesos bill.
16:34Jojo ordered you to be accused.
16:38Is that what you call it?
16:40How many times have you been accused?
16:46About three times, Your Honor.
16:49You kept drinking wine until you got drunk.
16:53Did you feel weak?
16:55Yes, Your Honor.
16:57When these two accused you,
17:02what did you feel?
17:04Were you high?
17:06Did you feel weak?
17:09I was drunk, Your Honor.
17:11Did you lie down?
17:13Yes, Your Honor.
17:14I was drunk, Your Honor.
17:16You lied down in the bed. Am I correct?
17:18I didn't lie down. I was pulled to the bed.
17:21Who pulled you to the bed?
17:23Jojo Nunez.
17:25Sandra refused to detail what happened.
17:28But Nunez told her something.
17:30Is it true? Based on my investigation,
17:34Jojo Nunez told you?
17:37What happened here stays here?
17:39Yes, Your Honor.
17:41Who told you that?
17:42Jojo Nunez, Your Honor.
17:44You were sexually harassed, correct?
17:49Yes, Your Honor.
17:51Nunez and Cruz denied what Sandra said.
17:56You deny?
17:58Yes, Your Honor. We deny allegations.
18:01What did you do to the child?
18:04We didn't do anything bad to Sandra, Your Honor.
18:07What did you do?
18:09She was there.
18:10She was there.
18:12Really?
18:14We socialized, Your Honor.
18:16Your Honor, that's not true.
18:19You didn't pity the child?
18:22Your Honor, with all due respect, please don't judge us.
18:25We are not yet convicted in the case.
18:28No, but you're lying.
18:30We are not lying, Your Honor.
18:32We're also just defending our side.
18:36Nunez and Cruz also denied that they made a donation to a charitable institution to be chosen by the Mulac family.
18:43Senate President Pro Tempore Jingoy Estrada denied this because it is a violation of the victim's affidavit
18:50as well as the witness, GMA Senior Vice President Atty. Annette Gozon Valdez.
18:55That's why the Senate Committee on Public Information and Mass Media condemned him.
18:59I move that he be cited in contempt.
19:01There is a motion to cite Mr. Jojo Nunez in contempt.
19:07Without any objection, the motion is approved, so ordered.
19:13Because of this, Nunez was detained by the Senate.
19:17Gerald Santos, a singer, was also cried when he heard the news.
19:21He was also a victim of rape in 2005.
19:24I was raped.
19:26I was raped, Your Honor.
19:28By the musical director?
19:30Yes. I was only 15 years old at that time, Your Honor.
19:35I don't have a strong heart.
19:38When the abuse happened to me, I don't have a strong heart.
19:45I was just a contestant at that time.
19:47He has power over us, over me.
19:52That's why I couldn't say anything.
19:55Gerald filed a case in the GMA Network five years after the incident.
20:01Based on the document held by Estrada, the musical director was suspended and dismissed by the GMA.
20:07But Gerald said that he felt that his career was affected.
20:12This musical director is connected to other executives inside.
20:19So I was affected inside.
20:24So even though he left, I also left the network.
20:31In the end, Gerald was released from the GMA Artist Center and moved to another network.
20:36The GMA Network assured that it never covered up sexual harassment in the company.
20:42The investigation into the case of Sandro continues, and the two accused are under preventive suspension.
20:47GMA has had a policy against sexual harassment.
20:50And we have been strict about it.
20:52Again, we have never covered up any incident of sexual harassment.
20:57If they say that the department is not acting on it, they can go directly to legal, to HR, or to the office of the president.
21:04So there are different avenues, Mr. Chair.
21:07We do not encourage any form of cover-up.
21:10In fact, if there is someone that is covering up the matter, we also file an administrative case against them.
21:17For GMA Integrated News, Mav Gonzales reporting for 24 Hours.
21:24The GMA Network opposes all forms of abuse.
21:30In one statement, the GMA said that it does not allow any form of abuse against artists, personalities, employees, independent contractors, and other stakeholders.
21:45This is followed by the action of the network after it received the formal complaint of Gerald Santos in 2010.
21:54An investigation was immediately carried out.
21:57And after this, the network immediately implemented the proper punishment for the accused.
22:04The GMA terminated the contract of the accused, and he was not given a job after this.
22:12But what is included in the formal complaint filed by Gerald in 2010 is different from the accusation of rape that he mentioned in the Senate.
22:24It is not yet known by the GMA leadership that this is the case.
22:29The GMA said that it was Gerald's statement that he was removed from the network.
22:35He himself requested an early release from his management contract in 2010 that was given by the GMA.
22:44In the same year, he immediately appeared on other TV networks.
22:49In addition, Gerald also tried to return to the GMA after his contract with TV5 in 2013.
22:59The complaint of rape through sexual assault and act of lasciviousness in the Justice Department was filed by Sandro Mulac against Jojo Nones and Richard Cruz.
23:12John Consulta was involved.
23:17Sandro Mulac and his lawyers first met with the members of the NBI Public Corruption Division.
23:24After that, they went to the Justice Department for filing the complaint of rape through sexual assault and act of lasciviousness
23:32against the independent contractors of the GMA, Jojo Nones and Richard Cruz.
23:37I'm very grateful to the NBI because they helped me.
23:40It's really hard and I hope we can get the justice that we should get.
23:45I'm just so glad that we reached this day.
23:48We've been waiting for this day that we can file the complaint and eventually start fighting for justice.
23:58That belongs to Sandro.
24:00These documents that you can see beside me are the copies of the complaints filed by Sandro Mulac and his family and his father, Nino Mulac.
24:15This is where the D.O. Manoy will have his abuse.
24:20And in front of this vehicle is Ma'am Laika Conares.
24:25She's a bit busy right now. She has things to talk about.
24:29And in front of her is the original folder that contains this complaint.
24:35In less than an hour, this trip will end.
24:40And when we get to the D.O.J., they will immediately file this complaint filed by Sandro Mulac himself.
24:48The two witnesses of Sandro Mulac also arrived at the D.O.J. office.
24:53In more than 200 pages of the complaint he filed, it was detailed that he ran away on the early morning of July 21.
25:00Based on this copy that I got, through a text, Nones invited him to run away in their hotel room
25:06and he was told that he will be cast because this man is a D.O.J.
25:11When they arrived at the hotel room, Nones and Richard Cruz were the only ones who ran away.
25:16Nones said that they were accompanied by someone else.
25:19He was forced to run away using a white-and-purple suit that he was wearing when he got home from a long trip.
25:24That's when the two men started beating him up.
25:28Sandro tried to run away.
25:30George and Richard were stopped but they didn't listen to him.
25:32At one point, Nones was being watched by a video.
25:37At first, Sandro couldn't run away because he was too weak.
25:43Until Nones and Cruz stopped him.
25:48The conclusion of our investigators is to file a case against the two respondents.
25:55Rape by sexual assault and acts of lasciviousness, several counts.
25:58Our findings are based on medical examination, forensic evidence,
26:05and our behavioral science division conducted the findings on the victims.
26:11Sandro tested negative for drugs.
26:13But according to the NBI, the drug test was only 10 days after the incident.
26:18At first, Nones and Cruz denied the allegation of the actor.
26:22They didn't do any sexual harassment or abuse against Sandro.
26:26They told the Senate that they can prove to the court that they are innocent.
26:31And while waiting for the due process, they asked the public not to judge them.
26:36For GMA Integrated News, John Consulta, Nakatutok, 24 Hours.
26:43The Health Department is concerned about the community transmission of mpox
26:50after a new case was discovered in Metro Manila.
26:53Contact tracing is being done for that.
26:57And Joseph Moro, Nakatutok.
27:02A 33-year-old man from Metro Manila was found with mpox or monkey pox.
27:09It was the first case after the declaration of the World Health Organization, WHO,
27:13that mpox was a global health emergency last week.
27:17According to the DOH, the man was not traveling outside the Philippines.
27:21But he was infected with the disease,
27:24which was followed by water droplets on his face, back, body, throat, throat, and jaw.
27:30He is in a government hospital where the mpox case was confirmed yesterday.
27:35The DOH is now conducting contact tracing.
27:38That means the virus is here in the Philippines.
27:42We had nine cases in 2023.
27:45But we are testing it little by little.
27:48So that means the mpox virus is among us.
27:52So it's not important. It's here.
27:55So that's a warning to everybody.
27:58So it's a community transmission.
28:00According to the WHO, mpox is a disease like, but not a disease of smallpox.
28:05It's like water.
28:07It's like a bottle with water inside.
28:10It starts with a bottle with water inside.
28:13But the difference with a bottle with water is,
28:16when it lasts, its contents become water.
28:18There are reports that it's contagious, while others are painful.
28:22According to the Department of Health,
28:24the wearing of face masks should not be repeated,
28:27even the social distancing that was done during the COVID pandemic.
28:31According to the DOH, unlike the COVID airborne,
28:34mpox is transmitted through close and intimate contact.
28:39COVID is airborne.
28:40So it's fast, right?
28:42You can ride a bus, a train, or a jeepney.
28:46You can get infected.
28:48Unlike this one, close and intimate contact.
28:51It's contagious. It's close.
28:53But it dies in soap and water.
28:55The borders should not be closed.
28:58The mpox will be transferred to the items or clothes it contains.
29:02But it dies easily in soap.
29:05That's why the DOH recommends washing your hands frequently.
29:08According to the DOH,
29:10there are some industries like spas and parlors
29:13that the DOH will provide reminders
29:16to avoid the spread of mpox.
29:18Because these are the areas where there's contact, right?
29:22You hold a patient, you massage a client,
29:25you massage there, parlors, spas.
29:27So we will be coming out with something,
29:30what do you call this? Memes.
29:32Very specific for them.
29:34The DOH mentioned 17 hospitals
29:35that can be visited
29:37that are only known to have mpox.
29:39We have mpox,
29:41but we should not be worried
29:43because of COVID-19.
29:45We are worried because there are many of us who are uncertain
29:49and don't know.
29:51The mpox was first determined in 1957
29:55as an illness.
29:57And then it's just going back and forth.
29:59But it's also good to be careful.
