Transcript

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.
