00:00Good morning. Here are the first news of GMI Integrated News.
00:16After a 7-year hiatus due to the consequences of his life,
00:20former Ilo Ilo City Mayor Jed Patrick Mabilog told us that he experienced poverty in Camara
00:26after being counted as a narco-list by former President Rodrigo Duterte.
00:30Here are the first news from Ian Cruz.
00:33I hope that the hardships that we have gone through,
00:40which are very hard, persecution, trauma, and nothing else,
00:53will not be experienced by others.
00:57The truth will prevail and not the political or personal interests of some.
01:22Former Ilo Ilo City Mayor Jed Patrick Mabilog could not contain his emotions
01:26when he faced the Quad Committee of Camara,
01:29which was involved in illegal drugs and extrajudicial killings.
01:33Here, he told us about the hardships he experienced within 7 years
01:38after being counted as a narco-list by former President Duterte.
01:43Mabilog also showed videos about the ridiculous behavior of former President Duterte.
01:50On August 28, 2017, Mabilog received a call from PNP Regional Director Bernardo Diaz,
01:57who invited him for a meeting with PNP Chief Ronald Bato de la Rosa
02:02at Camp Grame on the afternoon of the next day.
02:05But he received a call from someone he did not name as a police colonel.
02:09A PNP colonel called me and, in a voice that sent shivers down my spine,
02:17literal po yun, warned me not to go to Camp Grame because my life was in danger.
02:25The fear that had been simmering now erupted.
02:30Soon after, at 6.32 p.m., my wife, Marivic, received a chilling text from a PNP colonel's wife.
02:40Do not proceed. There are 20 men surrounding your house.
02:45And if you go to Camp Grame, they will kill you.
02:50The terror was paralyzing. I couldn't believe it.
03:00My life and my family's life was hanging by a thread.
03:06In fear, he went to Japan the next day.
03:11However, he received a message from General Diaz to call a number.
03:17I made the call and spoke to General Bato, who expressed his sympathy.
03:23He was talking to me in Bisaya.
03:26He told me he knew I was innocent, that I wasn't involved in illegal drugs, and he promised to help me.
03:35I told him I would finish my work abroad and return to meet him.
03:41But he urged me to be careful, repeating his pledge to help.
03:46However, the next day, another person called and gave a warning.
03:50Just after that call, my Philippine cell phone rang.
03:56This time, it was another general. His voice was grim.
04:01Mayor, do not return. Your life is in danger.
04:08The accusations against you are all fabricated.
04:12But if you go to Crame, you'll be forced to point fingers to an opposition senator and a former presidential candidate as drug lords.
04:24Lawmakers asked him who he was going to point fingers to.
04:29You were told that you will pinpoint a certain former senator and a certain president.
04:42Is it former Senator Marawas?
04:45Yes, sir.
04:47Is it former Senator Drilon, which is your cousin?
04:54Yes, sir.
04:56So from Japan, Mabilog went straight to America and applied for political asylum, where he self-exiled with his family.
05:05Mabilog refused to give his name to the police officials who were kind to him.
05:10So he was forced to write it down by the lawmakers.
05:14Mabilog believes that politics is the root of his membership in the Duterte Narcolist.
05:19In our interview with former Mayor Jed Mabilog, after attending the hearing, he said that he has no plans to return to politics in 2025.
05:27And if he is the only one who will make a decision, he also refused to file a complaint against former President Rodrigo Duterte because he wants to move on.
05:35According to Senator De La Rosa, before Mabilog left, he received a call from the Mayor that he is afraid for his safety.
05:46De La Rosa went to the Krame and said that he is afraid for his safety.
05:51But then, Mabilog called and said that he will not go because someone told him not to.
05:57De La Rosa said that it is very incredible that Mabilog will go to the Krame to kill.
06:02GMA Integrated News is also trying to get the signatures of Diaz and Duterte, as well as Drilon and Rojas.
06:11This is the first news, Ian Cruz for GMA Integrated News.
06:16The Commission on Election issued guidelines for the candidates for the election of 2025.
06:21Aside from that, they should register their social media accounts and use artificial intelligence or AI.
06:31We have first news from Sandra Adinaldo.
06:34Isn't it yet the election? There is a lot of misinformation spreading on social media.
06:42There are people using artificial intelligence and deepfake to manipulate video or audio to make it look real.
06:50It is expected that this will not happen when the election is near.
06:54That is why the Comelec issued guidelines for the upcoming election.
06:58Under Resolution 11064, it is required to register in the Comelec Education and Information Department
07:07all official social media accounts, page, website, podcast, vlog, and other internet-based campaign platforms
07:16of the candidates and parties that will be participating in the election.
07:20Other people will also use social media to campaign for the victory or defeat of a candidate.
07:27If the Comelec clarifies, this will only be implemented during the campaign period.
07:32We know that the 2025 election onwards will be a battle against new technology,
07:37a battle against foreign intervention or interference through social media.
07:43We will fight, we will regulate, and in order to ensure equal opportunity, equal access for all.
07:50Our guidelines on social media or the use of this kind of campaign will only be effective
07:59on the first day of the campaign period, when they file their candidacy.
08:04They need to submit an online application and some requirements to the Comelec EID within 30 days
08:11after the filing of the Certificate of Candidacy.
08:14The Comelec will go through the process of reviewing and approving the Comelec Unbanked
08:17and publish it on the website and other online platforms of the Commission.
08:22The Comelec stated that in their new guidelines, their freedom of expression may be violated.
08:29In the use of artificial intelligence in the campaign,
08:32it needs to be declared in the campaign materials that it was used by AI
08:38and what is the nature and extent of the manipulation.
08:42Those who do not comply with the regulations may face an election offense.
08:46Even the campaign staff of the candidate can be sued.
08:51If we look at Section 261 of the Omnibus Election Code,
08:55the election offense includes the violation of other rules and regulations of the Commission of Elections.
09:01It means that the violation should not be included there.
09:04If the Comelec did not define the violation, it will become the basis of the criminal case of election offense.
09:13The Comelec will also take down any false post and publish it on the Comelec website and platforms.
09:21The Comelec is supported by the PPCRV or Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting
09:29to fight fake news, spreading misinformation, negative campaigning, and trolls.
09:35This is the first news, Sandra Aguinaldo for GMA Integrated News.
09:46Ms. G, an American singer named David Archuleta tried some Filipino drinks and desserts.
09:53In the TikTok video hosted by Sparkle star and vlogger Benedict Cua,
09:58David tried lambanog and Zamboanga style halo-halo.
10:04They also tried Inutak and cake.
10:07When David was asked what his favorite Filipino food is, he said bangus with barley rice.
10:13David Archuleta is in the Philippines for his concert.
10:17Water!
10:18The residents of Manila are shouting that they are affected by water interruption and the pipe of Manila is damaged.
10:24This is the first live news of James Agustin.
10:27James.
10:32Good morning.
10:33The whole country is in panic until this time,
10:35when the construction of the Manila Pipeline,
10:38which was accidentally hit by the backhoe of the third-party contractor of the MMDA yesterday,
10:44is being drained.
10:47The drainage is being done in this part of Delpan Street in the city of Manila.
10:51Since last night, thousands of customers of Manila have lost their supply of water,
10:55not only here in the city of Manila,
10:57but also in the southern part of Metro Manila and Cavite.
11:06Liza collected only a small drum of water before they lost their supply last night in Barangay 12 in Tondo, Manila.
11:13Her daughter also went to school.
11:16It's really hard.
11:17At first, we don't have our own water.
11:19We only have a bathroom, a toilet, and everything else.
11:24Now that we have a bathroom, we don't have a toilet and a toilet.
11:29The problem is that there's no water left.
11:31That's why Ellen is in trouble.
11:33It's hard.
11:34We don't have anything to wash.
11:39This bar and restaurant still doesn't have water supply last night.
11:42It's located in Barangay 275 in Binondo.
11:45They have a water tank, but it's limited.
11:48The establishment is open 24 hours a day.
11:51It's really hard if there's no supply of water because that's our main resource,
11:57especially in this establishment.
11:59Customers are in and out, especially flatwares and glassware.
12:03So we need to replenish from time to time.
12:06Thousands of customers of Manila have lost their supply of water since last night in the city of Manila.
12:11Many are also affected in Cavite, like Bacoor, Imus, Cavite City, Kawit, Noveleta, and Rosario,
12:19as well as in Las Pinas, Pasay, and Paranaque.
12:22The reason for this is the 2.2-meter diameter pipeline that is currently being built
12:28after an accident that hit the back home of the third-party contractor of MMDA
12:32in Del Pan Street corner Recto Avenue.
12:35The incident happened at 3.30 yesterday afternoon.
12:39The contractor is doing a drainage in the area.
12:41We are currently doing a drainage here.
12:43It's quite hard so we replaced it with a breaker.
12:47When I broke it, we hit three breaks.
12:52We hit the broken one.
12:54At the moment, we don't know if there's a line in that area.
12:57The hit pipeline that brings water from the treatment plant of Manila in Quezon City
13:02will go to its customers in the south.
13:05The people of Manila are composing themselves.
13:08The water service interruption will last until 10 p.m.
13:13We will do our best to distribute the water in the dam.
13:17Little by little, so that it will be available until midnight.
13:22We will just wait for the ration.
13:24They said there's a ration coming.
13:26We will just offer plastic instead,
13:29disposable materials,
13:33so that we won't have to consume water.
13:42I will just show you the part of the backhoe
13:45that is said to have hit the pipeline.
13:49It's only a few meters away or next to it.
13:51Manila is already barricaded here.
13:53Since last night, they have been composing themselves.
13:57We asked the people of Manila if it's possible for them to finish
14:01before 10 p.m.
14:03what they are composing here.
14:05But they haven't been able to say that yet
14:07because there's a lot that needs to be done.
14:09On the other side of the road,
14:11you can see the length of the drainage
14:14that is being done by the third-party contractor of the MMDA
14:17on why there's a backhoe here
14:19and why they are composing water here in the area.
14:22That's the first news from Manila.
14:24I am James Agustin for Gemma Integrated News.
14:28Tony Young was jailed in Pasay.
14:30Former Presidential Economic Advisor, Michael Young,
14:33was arrested in Naigia Terminal 3 last night.
14:36According to the Bureau of Immigration,
14:38Tony Young was arrested because of undesirability,
14:42misrepresentation and misbehavior.
14:45Some documents were used to obtain a birth certificate in the Philippines.
14:49For more details, we have live news.
14:52This is Jomer Apresto.
14:58Susan, good morning.
14:59I'm here outside the Seasolbing Detention Facility
15:02of the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission, or PAOC, in Pasay City.
15:06Tony Young was brought here by Michael Young's older brother,
15:10former President Rodrigo Duterte's former economic advisor.
15:13He was arrested in the operation of BI, PAOC and ISOP last night.
15:18You're under arrest.
15:20You have the right to remain silent.
15:22Anything you say can be used against you in this investigation.
15:26In Naigia Terminal 3, from Cagayan de Oro,
15:30the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission, or PAOC,
15:34arrested a man, Yang Yansin, or Tony Young.
15:37He was brought here by Michael Young,
15:39former President Rodrigo Duterte's former economic advisor.
15:43According to the Bureau of Immigration,
15:45Tony Young was arrested in accordance with the mission order
15:48of the Bureau of Immigration because of undesirability and misrepresentation.
15:53He already has a violation,
15:55the so-called violation of immigration laws.
15:59This is the misrepresentation that a Filipino is accusing him of.
16:04So, it turns out that he is an undesirable alien.
16:07The style that he did is the same style
16:11that was done by former Mayor Alice Goh,
16:14that was done by Cassandra Ong,
16:19and the other Chinese that we arrested who had a late registration
16:24and then they changed their names.
16:27Antonio Maestrado Lim is the name used by Yang in the Philippines
16:32based on a copy of his birth certificate that was registered in 2004.
16:37According to the PAOC, Yang used his documents to get the birth certificate,
16:43as well as other IDs and to bring a gun.
16:47He also used this to register the Philippine Sanja Steel Corporation
16:52in the Securities and Exchange Commission,
16:54which is said to have a connection to other illegal operations of POGO.
16:58They really appear as a group,
17:01in Banban, Porac, Cebu, and now in Cagayan de Oro.
17:08We saw the incorporator in a POGO hub,
17:13which is connected to other POGO hubs.
17:17And sadly, not only did they go around POGO,
17:23they also have names.
17:26We saw names that even in the warehouses where drugs were caught,
17:33their names are still seen there.
17:35In the images provided by the PAOC,
17:37the PV deck in Tagaloan, Misamis Oriental,
17:41is more than an hectare.
17:43That's where the Philippine Sanja Steel Corporation is located,
17:45which has its own port.
17:47It's also close to the illegal POGO hub
17:49that was inspected by the authorities in Cagayan de Oro.
17:52Yang will remain in custody until the court's decision.
17:57Aside from the IDs,
17:58Yang also obtained some items such as a luxury watch,
18:01which is said to be worth more than 2 million pesos
18:04and worth 1.4 million pesos in cash.
18:07Yang will be called to the next housequad committee
18:10for his possible connection to other illegal POGOs in the country.
18:14We will be inviting him over here in the next hearing,
18:17probably on Wednesday,
18:19to ask him why he was able to put up a corporation,
18:27the Sanjia Steel Corporation,
18:29being a Chinese national.
18:33So how they were able to purchase the lottery there
18:39and how were they able to put up a port in Cagayan de Oro City.
18:50Susan, for now, we are still trying to find out
18:53where Tony Yang's camp is located.
18:55And live from Pasay City,
18:57I am Jomer Apresto for GMA Integrated News.
19:01A barangay in Zamboanga, Cebu,
19:03was plunged into a state of calamity due to a heavy flood.
19:06Some places in Davao del Sur were flooded,
19:09where the trapped residents need to be rescued.
19:12And live from Davao del Sur,
19:14we have the first news,
19:15Arjil Relator of GMA Regional TV.
19:18Arjil.
19:21Some barangays in Astorga, Santa Cruz and Davao del Sur
19:25were flooded.
19:26A heavy rain fell on Wednesday night.
19:30According to the LGU,
19:32about 660 families were affected by the flood.
19:42This part of the northbound lane of Davao-Cotabato Highway
19:48in Astorga, Santa Cruz-Davao del Sur
19:51was flooded by heavy rain.
19:54The Central Island was almost leveled
19:56and the flood was rising on the highway.
19:59The other lane was made into a two-way traffic
20:02resulting in a heavy flow of traffic.
20:05In Purok, Maligaya,
20:06the BDRMC and Echo Cares immediately carried out rescue operations
20:11on the residents trapped in their homes
20:14that were submerged in heavy rain.
20:18This house was damaged due to the flooding.
20:21Four families were rescued.
20:23It was discovered that the surroundings of the Dupalo family's house
20:27still looked like a sea
20:30due to the fact that the flood water had not yet subsided.
20:33Some residents had to swim in the heavy rain.
20:37Outside, only half of their motorcycles
20:41could be seen due to the flood.
20:44Inside, their belongings were already submerged in the flood
20:47such as their sofa and table.
20:50Their phones and beds were already submerged.
21:10The caretaker of the fishpond was also worried
21:12after the flood brought 700,000 fingerlings of fish.
21:18When it rains, there is always a flood.
21:20It's easy for the trees to fall
21:24because when the trees fall,
21:26it's hard to rescue.
21:29There are a lot of people, but it's not easy.
21:32According to the barangay official,
21:34their area is really a catch basin
21:36especially if the rain is heavy in the upland areas.
21:39Since 11 am,
21:41Purok has reported that some residents are affected.
21:45We are still consolidating with the families affected by Purok
21:49so that we can submit the incident report.
21:53Meanwhile, the barangay of Imelda Zamboanga, Cebugay
21:57was submerged in a state of calamity.
22:00It was affected by the heavy rain.
22:03According to the MDRMO,
22:05the rain suddenly stopped
22:07and the water in the Cebugay River overflowed.
22:11In the aerial view,
22:13you can see the area of flooding in the town
22:15and the area of Pinsala.
22:17According to the MDRMO,
22:19the barangay of Balugo, Santa Barbara, Lumbug, San Jose, La Victoria,
22:26Ganyangan, Lumpanak, and Kanaan
22:29were also affected by the state of calamity.
22:32The families were also given help
22:35in the evacuation centers.
22:37The affected areas,
22:41the houses that were affected,
22:46the families that are currently in the evacuation centers.
22:55Ivan, the flood reached Santa Cruz, Davao del Sur.
22:58Rapid damage assessments and needs analysis will continue
23:02to find out the cause of the flood.
23:05Ivan.
23:06Thank you very much.
23:07Arjil Relator of GMA Regional TV.
23:11A shocker order was issued by the House Squad Committee
23:14against Myla Roque,
23:16the wife of the former presidential spokesperson Harry Roque.
23:19Cassandra Leong,
23:20who was imprisoned in Pogo Hub in Porac Pambanga,
23:23was again contempted by the committee
23:25and transferred to the Correctional Institute for Women in Mandalayong.
23:29First news, Beya Pinlac.
23:35The House Squad Committee ordered
23:37the transfer of Cassandra Leong
23:39to the Correctional Institute for Women in Mandalayong
23:42the second time
23:44that she was cited in contempt by the committee.
23:47May I move that Ms. Cassandra Leong,
23:49because we have cited her in contempt,
23:52should be detained at the Correctional Institute for Women in Mandalayong
23:59for a period of 30 days.
24:00So moved, Mr. Chair.
24:02Leong's educational background was questioned.
24:06Abang Lingkod Party List Representative Joseph Stephen Paduano,
24:10the co-chair of the Squad Committee,
24:12asked him about the inconsistencies
24:14where he studied under the Alternative Learning System.
24:18You went to ALS, right?
24:22You went to ALS, right?
24:24Yes.
24:26What year did you go to ALS?
24:29Don't tell me you double-checked.
24:32Can you forget that you went to ALS?
24:35What year did you go to ALS?
24:42I'm not sure of the exact year.
24:53Is it possible that you don't know
24:56which school you enrolled in for ALS?
24:58Maybe you didn't go to ALS.
24:59Maybe you studied in another country.
25:05Remember, you are now cited, previously you were cited in contempt
25:09and I will once again cite you in contempt for lying.
25:15Before this was approved by the committee,
25:17a judge gathered first to assess Leong's health.
25:22Leong will be discharged from the hospital on September 10
25:25after his blood sugar and blood pressure dropped
25:29while he was in the middle of the hearing in the camera.
25:31I believe, for humanitarian reasons, Mr. Chair,
25:36considering her ailment,
25:38we should reconsider this motion to detain her at the women's correctional, Mr. Chair.
25:44Or maybe, for that matter,
25:48we should let the medical team check on her, whether she is fit.
25:53Because, Mr. Chair, if something happens to Ms. Cassandra Ong,
26:00that would be the responsibility of this committee, Mr. Chair.
26:03According to Surigao Del Norte Rep. Ace Barbers,
26:07the medical team of the camera can still examine Ms. Ong while she is in the women's correctional.
26:12If she doesn't trust the medical director of the women's correctional,
26:17maybe we can ask that our own medical team from the House of Representatives
26:22go check on her periodically.
26:25The camp of Ms. Ong still has no statement regarding her transfer to the women's correctional.
26:30But first, the lawyer of Ms. Ong, Ferdinand Topacio, said
26:34that Ms. Ong wanted to be transferred to the women's correctional
26:37instead of being embarrassed by the camera.
26:40Ms. Ong will be transferred there after September 26,
26:44when the period of the first contempt order against her by the camera will end.
26:49The committee also issued a show-cause order for Myla Roque,
26:53the wife of the former presidential spokesperson Harry Roque.
26:56This is because the committee did not respond to the invitation to investigate the POGOs.
27:02We are trying to get a statement from the camp of Ms. Roque,
27:06but Harry Roque previously denied that he had anything to do with the illegal POGOs.
27:10This is the first news.
27:12Bea Penlac for GMA Integrated News.
27:17The wife of the former mayor, Alice Bua, of the Quad Committee of the Camera,
27:21was immediately cited in contempt because she did not respond to the questions of the congressmen.
27:26This is the first news. Chino Gaston.
27:32Are you Chinese? I don't eat Hopia.
27:34I'm Filipino.
27:36Why do Filipinos eat Hopia?
27:39I don't eat Hopia. Thank you.
27:42This is the answer of Alice Guo of Alukinsha of Hopia
27:46in the middle of the hearing of the Quad Committee of the Camera regarding the POGOs.
27:50The questions were again cut.
27:52Is Guo really Filipino?
27:54His escape to the country is also the same.
27:56He was also shown the class pictures from the report of GMA Integrated News last July
28:02about those who said that their former mayor became their classmate.
28:07Can you please enlighten us who is in this picture?
28:11For that question, I think I cannot answer.
28:14I invoke my right against self-incrimination
28:17since I have a pending case about the citizenship.
28:20But would you agree with me if I would say,
28:23you look like the one in the picture.
28:25Ma'am, I will not confirm.
28:28Also in this picture, it was taken from a Chinese newspaper
28:32when he won the mayor of Bamban.
28:34At first, Guo said that his father was being greeted by the Chinese community
28:38because his father is Chinese.
28:41But it was different when a congressman asked other Chinese people.
29:03Ma'am, there is no such thing.
29:05At first, Guo said,
29:07Your Honor, I am not too sure about what he said.
29:11I think it's better if we get a translator for that.
29:16Because there is also my name.
29:18From what I understand, he congratulated me, my father.
29:24Guo repeatedly refused to answer the questions
29:28about the citizenship of Pogo and Omanoy.
29:31Omanoy is a partner of Money Laundering and other crimes.
29:34You answered that you went to Malaysia.
29:37My question is, why are you invoking the right against self-incrimination?
29:42Now, I am asking, why are you invoking it now?
29:46I understand my rights better now, Your Honor.
29:49What?
29:50I understand my rights better now, Your Honor.
29:53After numerous hearings in the Senate,
29:56you only understood your rights now?
29:59While you are invoking it a thousand times?
30:02Don't call us stupid, Your Honor.
30:05Because of the repeated refusal to answer the questions of the camera,
30:09Guo was given a warning.
30:11We will cite you in contempt.
30:13You are now detained in Kamklamew.
30:15In fact, I will ask the PNP and the court
30:21why you were granted to be detained in the Philippine Cusodyal Center.
30:29This will be your last warning.
30:30According to the former PNP chief, according to PANCOR official Raul Villanueva,
30:35Guo was detained in Payroll Omanoy.
30:38The current PNP chief, Police General Rommel Marville,
30:43asked PANCOR to name who they are targeting.
30:47We are investigating 24 of our former chief PNP if they are involved.
30:51We're not happy with what he said.
30:53Since he's under oath, he has to tell us because it affects the whole organization.
30:58Who is the PNP official that you remember as the mayor who gave you a courtesy call?
31:05I remember that I visited the office of PD.
31:12Provincial Director.
31:14Who is the Provincial Director that you are targeting?
31:18The current PD. I forgot the name.
31:24Mr. Chair, I'm willing to tell the truth.
31:27Just believe me.
31:29Don't think that I'm lying.
31:31I will tell you all the truth in the executive session.
31:34Where is the truth?
31:37On how I was released.
31:42The former senator and former PNP chief, Ping Laxon, has doubts.
31:46Villanueva only said that the Pogos have a protector,
31:50the former chief of the police.
31:52Even so, he said that the information still needs to be verified.
31:55We are still trying to get the statement of the former PNP chief.
32:00This is the first news. Chino Gaston for GMA Integrated News.
32:08This is my first interview with Alice Goh.
32:10We will discuss this in the House Squad Committee.
32:12We have with us in Santa Ana or Santa Rosa, Laguna, Representative Don Hernandez,
32:17co-chairman of the House Squad Committee.
32:19Good morning Congressman.
32:21Hi. Good morning.
32:23Good morning to the listeners and viewers.
32:28Alice Goh said that she will tell the truth in an executive session.
32:34Will the Squad Committee allow this?
32:37Actually, we already discussed this yesterday.
32:41We have a feeling during that time that the personality she will mention does not entail national security,
32:54which is one of the requirements for the executive session.
33:01Since some members were insisting that there should be an executive session,
33:07basically, the Squad Committee did not agree.
33:11What I did during that time, I asked Alice if she can write down who that person is.
33:19She said he's Chinese.
33:21We wrote down his name.
33:23True enough, the Chinese that we consider as one of the incorporators of their company,
33:31is the one she mentioned who helped her.
33:33Which I think will not really help our investigation for that matter.
33:39Aside from the connection with FOGO, there's another similarity between Alice Goh, Cassandra Ong and Tony Yang.
33:45Their documents are questionable, like PSA, birth certificate.
33:50Is this also a part of the Squad Committee that we should be more careful not to get late registration?
33:58Yes. In the Committee on Public Accounts, we talked about this last year.
34:03We are investigating corporations that are owned by Chinese personalities, but they are being attended by Filipinos.
34:11PSA, as we can see, relaxed the requirement to get a birth certificate.
34:17That's why Philippine passports can be obtained quickly.
34:20PSA promised to tighten the requirement to get a birth certificate so that Chinese nationals cannot obtain passports.
34:29But unfortunately, there's a lot of damage that was done.
34:33Many companies and buildings were damaged.
34:40For example, Tony Yang was arrested in Cagayan de Oro City.
34:43You mentioned Tony Yang. What's the connection with FOGO, Congressman?
34:48His Philippine San Diego Corporation in Cagayan was raided last week or two weeks ago,
34:58where the remnants of FOGO were found.
35:03He's not operating anymore. But of course, there are intel reports that he's still operating.
35:12So that's the reason why we investigated and investigated why this San Diego Steel Corporation is hiding on that legitimate corporation and business.
35:27But under this, there are illegal activities being done.
35:32Not only FOGO, there's smuggling and more likely, that's where they are smuggling drugs.
35:40So these three have a connection with each other, Cong?
35:43Yes. Tony Yang is Michael Yang's brother.
35:46Tony Yang is the oldest of them. He was born in 1970.
35:53Michael Yang was born in 1972 and Hojing Yang, his brother from Cebu City.
35:58That's their son who was born in 1974.
36:03So these are all connected and connected to Alice Goh because of Hojing Yang from Cebu City,
36:08who was also wanted by the Quadcom back then.
36:11Michael Yang resided in Contemporary, but fortunately, his brother is still in the Philippines.
36:18It's all up to him. This is where you can see the amount of money he has in Mr. Tony Yang.
36:25So we can see Tony Yang in the Quadcom, Congressman?
36:29Yes. Yes definitely. Definitely he will be there.
36:32How is the search for the former presidential spokesperson Harry Roque?
36:36Not until yesterday, and there was no letter for his absence.
36:43Prior to yesterday, I don't want to call him a fugitive, but unfortunately,
36:50without any information or letter addressed to us,
36:57the police and DPIBG will continue to search for him.
37:02One last question. Why are you so excited about Cassie?
37:05That's because someone sent me a picture of her asking where she studied.
37:12A chairman sent me a picture of Chairman Caraps.
37:16I just showed it to Chairman Ace Barber.
37:21He said it's okay with the question you asked.
37:24You know with TikTok and other things, they're exploring it.
37:31But it doesn't mean anything.
37:33It's okay. It's like we're having a light moment when we listen to it.
37:37You know, it's too serious.
37:39Yesterday, we had hearings for 13 hours.
37:42Sometimes, it's torturing our mind what we're doing and it's dangerous.
37:47So sometimes, I hope that the people will understand that sometimes, there's a light moment.
37:52Reduce it. Kong Akop is already complaining.
37:55He's only smiling at you.
37:58You know, Kong Akop only jokes sometimes because he's a serious person.
38:03That's why it's good that we can hear such pronouns from the side of Chairman Akop.
38:10Did you make a decision to transfer her to the correctional of Kababaihan, Kong?
38:15Yes. We already made a decision.
38:17She was resided in contempt.
38:19After the first contempt that was issued to Cassandra Ong, who will lapse to 26,
38:25she will be transferred to...
38:27Women's correctional.
38:28I hope that she will have a change in her heart,
38:33that she will cooperate and help the squad for the country.
38:37That way, we can hear the truth.
38:40It's in your hands, Kong.
38:42Thank you very much.
38:43Cong. Dan Fernandez, co-chairman of the House Squad Committee. Take care, Kong.
38:47Okay. Thank you.
38:49Later in the arraignment,
38:51Dismissed Bamban Tarlac Mayor Alice Goh was dismissed from Valenzuela Regional Trial Court.
38:56There, the graft cases against Goh were transferred from Kapa Starlac RTC.
39:01According to his lawyer, Atty. Stephen David,
39:03Goh's case is under investigation later this afternoon in Valenzuela RTC.
39:15The guidelines were issued by the Department of Education
39:18for the flexible teaching of a solid curriculum
39:21to address the challenges faced by schools.
39:25To discuss that,
39:26we have Deputy Undersecretary for Curriculum and Teaching, Gina Gonong.
39:32Good morning, Ma'am.
39:33Good morning, Ms. Tucson.
39:35Good morning to all of you.
39:37Yes, Yosec.
39:38Please explain what is called flexible teaching.
39:42I hope there will be changes there.
39:44Yes.
39:45Ms. Tucson,
39:46in the flexible options that we gave to schools,
39:50we gave options on the time allotment for teaching subjects.
39:57The time for teaching subjects.
40:00Before, we were giving 45 minutes per subject.
40:05Now, schools can make decisions.
40:08For example, they can choose 60 minutes per learning area or per subject.
40:15For example, in English, Maths, Science, and GMRC,
40:20it can be one hour, five times a week.
40:23It can also be for Education, Health, and Welfare,
40:28Music and Arts, PE, Social Studies, and Filipino.
40:32It can be four times a week.
40:35Yes.
40:36Ms. Tucson, if schools still can't do that,
40:40we are still giving them flexibility to propose other combinations
40:47that they need to show to their division superintendents.
40:52How will you choose the learning areas or subjects that will be taught?
40:56Will you consider the ability or weakness of the students to catch up?
41:02Yes.
41:04If they choose five times a week,
41:07the subjects that will be taught will be English, Maths, Science, and GMRC.
41:14What does this mean, Yusec?
41:16Will the load of our teachers be reduced?
41:19Teachers have a long-standing problem with the so-called heavy workload.
41:24How will this be systematized?
41:27Yes.
41:28The teachers that currently hold eight sections in 45-minute time allotments,
41:36they can only hold six sections, five to six sections.
41:40Yes.
41:41Our goal here is that the students will not be left behind,
41:47but they will catch up with the speed of what is being taught in the schools.
41:53That's right.
41:54That's right, Ms. Tucson.
41:55Thank you very much, ADEPT and Undersecretary for Curriculum and Teaching, Gina Gonong.
42:01Good morning to you.
42:03Good morning. Thank you very much.
42:06It's almost time for the holidays.
42:09The price of some primary goods is rising, such as eggs.
42:12Let's check the price live with EJ Gomez.
42:16EJ.
42:18Susan, the price of eggs is expected to rise in the coming months.
42:22The price of eggs is usually rising during the holidays
42:25because it is used to make cakes and other preparations and food for gifts.
42:30We checked the price here in Pasig Mega Market.
42:33We are now in the first month of the Bermond's.
42:38In the past few weeks, the price of eggs in the markets in Metro Manila has risen.
42:43Based on the latest monitoring of the Agriculture Department,
42:46the price of each egg varies from 6 pesos to 9 pesos depending on the size.
42:50In Pasig Mega Market, the smallest egg can be bought for 8 pesos per piece,
42:55while the jumbo egg can be bought for 10 pesos.
42:58The price of eggs has risen by 20 to 50 centavos since last year.
43:03The price of each tray of small-sized eggs is now 240 pesos,
43:07while the jumbo egg is 300 pesos per tray.
43:10Week-on-week, the price rises by 5 pesos or more.
43:14According to Nene's mother, the price of eggs is really rising
43:18during the Bermond's or during the cold season
43:20because the chickens can't lay eggs right away.
43:23If the price of eggs rises by 5 pesos per tray, of course, we will also rise.
43:27If the price of eggs rises by 5 pesos per tray, of course, we will also rise.
43:31The increase is twice a week.
43:33If they increase by 5 pesos the following day, it's 10 pesos.
43:39Then next week, it's the same again.
43:42The supply is still okay now, according to the sellers.
43:46Edna, who owns a canteen,
43:48will buy eggs at any price because of her business.
43:53Yes, because that's the main food for the masses.
43:59There's nothing we can do.
44:02You still want to buy?
44:04Yes.
44:05Because?
44:06That's what we need.
44:07According to the Philippine Egg Board Association,
44:09the price of eggs is slowly rising while the holidays are approaching
44:13because of the lack of supplies in the country.
44:15Many people reduced their production during the heat and the cold season.
44:19Even now, they are confident that the supplies will be enough during the holidays
44:23because the egg producers are starting to repopulate.
44:31Susan, since we came to this market early in the morning,
44:35many people are buying eggs.
44:36It's proven that even if the price rises,
44:39this commodity can still be sold.
44:42Especially during breakfast,
44:44because this is one of the cheapest and easiest to cook.
44:47Of course, it's a partner to the Philippine favorite, Tapsilog.
44:50Here's the first news from Pasig City.
44:53EJ Gomez for GMA Integrated News.
