00:00Beep, beep, beep to all motorists who are worried that the price of oil products will increase next week.

00:10According to the estimate of the Oil Industry Management Bureau of the Department of Energy, based on the four-day trading,

00:15it is seen that the price of diesel will increase from 65 to 90 centavos per liter on Tuesday.

00:2130 to 60 centavos per liter of oil can be added to the price of gasoline, while 40 to 50 centavos per liter of kerosene can be added to the price of diesel.

00:30It is possible that the numbers will change depending on the situation this Friday.

00:35The price of oil has increased in the international market,

00:38followed by a surge of chaos in the Middle East and indications of a slightly global supply.

00:44Up to what extent is the power of the Congress related to the contempt and retaliation of some resource persons?

00:53Let's find out in the breaking news of Joseph Moro.

00:56Cassandra Lee Ong, one of the members of the POGO, was transferred to the Correctional Institution for Women in Mandaluyong

01:04due to a contempt citation by the camera.

01:07Another one who was arrested by the Congress due to contempt was the former presidential spokesperson Harry Roque,

01:12who repeatedly refused to attend the hearing of the House Quad Committee on its investigation of POGO.

01:18During his visit to the Supreme Court to stop the arrest order,

01:22he called it a grave abuse of discretion by the House Quad Committee

01:26and he is camping down the power only for the equitable and judicature.

01:31Up to what extent is the power of the Congress, meaning the Senate and the Camera,

01:36in their hearings in aid of legislation or in their creation of so-called laws

01:42that will allow them to issue arrest warrants and imprison them in any ordinary prison?

01:48According to the former president of the Integrated Border of the Philippines, or IBP, Atty. Domingo Cayosa,

01:54in the Constitution, the power of the Congress is to make inquiries in aid of legislation.

02:00The Constitution does not stipulate the power to issue contempt and issue arrest warrants, but...

02:05The contempt power is inherent in that power to hear, because that also includes the power to subpoena,

02:17and also the power to order an arrest if you don't obey the subpoena.

02:22Because even if you have the power and authority to hear or investigate,

02:28if you don't have the power to call them, or even if it's useless, right?

02:34The Senate and the Camera have their own rules on how these powers will be used.

02:39They said that. Not the witness, not the Supreme Court.

02:43The same way that Congress cannot pass a law saying that this should be the procedure in the judiciary.

02:52Under the rules of the Camera, two-thirds of the members of the committee must approve the contempt order

02:57and detain those who do not exceed 10 days in a place designated by the chairperson of the committee.

03:04Under the rules, the Congress can really have a detention, just like the correctional.

03:08We are already full here.

03:11Second, we feel that she's probably going to cooperate if she will be isolated.

03:25The Senate has different rules on contempt, but it can also put her in jail.

03:29But so far we have not yet done that.

03:31We have a detention facility that can accommodate, I believe, eight people.

03:36And expandable to another eight again, should the need arise.

03:42Yeah, they can. For example, their detention center is already full in Congress or in the Senate.

03:48They can. Or maybe they feel it's safer there.

03:51Because they are detention prisoners.

03:54The legislative branch can coordinate with the executive.

03:58If the executive accommodates the request, there's nothing wrong with that.

04:05It's not the prisoner who will choose. You should put me here.

04:09But until when can a resource person be put in jail?

04:14It was decided in 2018 in the Supreme Court of a fratman who was contempted by the Senate

04:18after he became the president of the frat.

04:22The Supreme Court said the contempt order is only effective until the hearing is not over.

04:28It will be considered over if there is a committee report or if the term of the Senate or the House is over.

04:33The contempt power is just a mechanism not to punish because you are not accused, you are not convicted.

04:42But to enforce or encourage cooperation.

04:48If you have nothing to hide and you are willing to speak the truth, you won't have much of a problem.

04:54You won't be convicted in those exceptional circumstances that grave abuse of discretion

04:59or that your right to our Constitution is being violated clearly, the Supreme Court is there.

05:08The removal of both the Senate and the House, they do not abuse their contempt powers.

05:13Joseph Morong reporting for GMA Integrated News.

05:18Suddenly, a bicycle fell on the road in Cebu even though the traffic light is still red.

05:24It hit a motorcycle coming from another direction.

05:28Both fell on the side of the road, the cyclist and the rider.

05:32There are no details as to whether the driver was injured.

05:36More than Php 200,000 worth of shabu was found in a man in Quezon City.

05:42The suspect was released last April.

05:47We have exclusive news from James Agustin.

05:53Inside a house in Barangay Pasong Putik in Valichez, Quezon City, a man was arrested by the police

05:59for their drug bybus operation.

06:03From the 32-year-old suspect, 40 grams of shabu worth Php 272,000 were recovered.

06:12We arrested the suspect for two weeks.

06:16When we proved that he was engaged in drug trafficking, we carried out the bybus operation.

06:24According to the police, the operation of the suspect in the area of Novalichez was large.

06:28It was not just a case of dropping drugs.

06:32According to the investigation, his mode of payment was through online payment.

06:36So what we are looking at is the transactions. How?

06:41We cannot say if it was face-to-face or online.

06:45But most probably, it was both, hybrid.

06:49The suspect was released last April because of the case of illegal possession of firearms.

06:53In 2017, he was charged with having something to do with illegal drugs.

06:57He was questioned about his arrest.

06:59There is no truth to that, sir.

07:01Did you say that you were involved in drug trafficking?

07:03No.

07:05The suspect is facing charges of drug trafficking in the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act.

07:09James Agustin reporting for GMA Integrated News.

07:39Two phreatic eruption events and two volcanic tremors were reported.

07:43The Taal Volcano is still under Alert Level 1.

07:47It is still possible for an explosion to occur.

07:51It means that it is still prohibited to enter the permanent danger zone of the island

07:55and to fly any vehicle for transportation around the volcano.

08:03An authority invited a house in Angeles, Pampanga called Scam Hub Umano.

08:07According to the employees there,

08:09the love of the island and the volcano is directly linked to the pecking investment.

08:13Let's hear from John Consulta.

08:19The people of NBI Pampanga and the 301st Special Mission Group of the Philippine Air Force

08:25quickly climbed to the house in Angeles City, Pampanga.

08:27The house is called Scam Hub, according to the NBI.

08:31Go back. Go back.

08:33Go back. Go back.

08:35Go back. Go back.

08:37Go back there.

08:3985 individuals were caught while they were playing on their computers.

08:43NBI. NBI.

08:45Based on the information obtained by the NBI,

08:47the group is looking for targets in dating sites to attract and attract bogus crypto investments.

08:54We verified that information

08:56and after we ascertained that there are existing illicit activities being done by this office,

09:03we applied for a warrant to search, seize and examine the computer data.

09:08What their employees are doing is going to social media.

09:13The NBI is looking for one of the models used by the group

09:17to make a video call and to upload the data of the island worth P25,000.

09:22They are looking for potential investors who are foreigners, usually Americans or Europeans.

09:28Usually, they are looking for retired people who have nothing to do.

09:33Cell phones and computers were searched in addition to the digital warrant

09:38in order to target the foreign victims.

09:40The arrested people are currently in jail in NBI Region 3

09:43who are facing charges of violation of the Cybercrime Prevention Act.

09:46We are trying to seize their money.
