00:00An office in Manila was attacked by a love and cryptocurrency scammer.
00:07Almost 70 people were arrested.
00:10Emil Sumangin witnessed it.
00:14The warrant to disclose computer data issued by the court was a big hit.
00:20Ray of the BNP Anti-Cybercrime Group has this office space in Malate, Manila,
00:25which is known to be visited by online scammers.
00:29According to the PNPACG, 68 people were arrested.
00:33They received more than 50 complaints against the establishment since January.
00:38Their biggest modus here is to make the people they talk to on the website fall in love with a dating app.
00:45And later on, when they were able to win the hearts of the victims,
00:51they encourage them to invest in cryptocurrency.
00:58This is a modus of an investment scam where they are not using dollars or pesos, but instead cryptocurrency.
01:07Most of the victims are looking for a partner based abroad.
01:11And if they can't find one, the victims are automatically blocked on the website.
01:17The victims are also foreign nationals.
01:20The office space was raided by the suspects,
01:22while the Bureau of Immigration and Manila City Hall is waiting for them to proceed with the arrests and evidence.
01:31We are still trying to get the names of the arrested.
01:35For GMA Integrated News, Emil Sumangin, your witness.
01:41There is a possibility of a possible storm surge in some parts of Batanes and Cagayan due to the super typhoon Leon.
01:50In the storm surge warning,
01:52earlier this evening, the chances of a storm surge were high in Basco, Itbayat, Ivana, Mahatau, Sabtang and Uyugan in Batanes and Calayan in Cagayan.
02:06In the next 48 hours, it may reach more than 3 meters.
02:11This means that the first floor of a house may collapse.
02:16According to the Office of Civil Defense,
02:18residents in low-lying areas should stay away from the sea,
02:21cancel all activities in the sea,
02:24and know the latest updates on the weather.
02:28According to the Office of Civil Defense,
02:30when a storm approaches the sea,
02:32the strong wind and low atmospheric pressure caused by the storm pushes water from the sea.
02:42This causes widespread flooding in low-lying areas in the sea.
02:49Let's talk about the situation in Batangas Port
02:52as many people are preparing to travel for the storm.
02:55J.P. Soriano is live.
03:01Sandra, up until now, many passengers are still arriving at the passenger terminal of Batangas Port,
03:07even though the weather is bad.
03:09Aside from the fast craft,
03:11the smaller ships are still traveling and operating.
03:16The bigger ships are traveling to different parts of Mindoro, Romblon, Aklan and Capiz.
03:22That's why the line is still long for the cargo trucks and private vehicles that will travel tonight.
03:29Some of the passengers that we talked to,
03:31they are hoping that they won't feel the effect of the storm on their trip.
03:37However, they are preparing for it.
03:39Batangas Port has been operating for 24 hours.
03:42As of now, there is no announcement that the big ships are not allowed to sail.
03:46But according to Batangas Port,
03:48they are ready and they have a contingency.
03:51If they are ordered not to travel, they will not be allowed to sail.
03:57We are just praying that everything will be fine.
04:00We are just praying that everything will be fine.
04:06We are just praying that everything will be fine.
04:11The fast craft's only trip to Puerto Galera was cancelled last afternoon in Batangas Port.
04:18The fast craft's trip to Calapan, Oriental, Mindoro was cancelled due to the high waves.
04:25There were some roro vessels, but only a few.
04:27There were also delayed trips.
04:29A truck driver took two days to ride a roro.
04:34Some of them went straight to Mindoro.
04:36They went straight to the main gate.
04:38We were able to park at the main gate.
04:42Others were able to go home.
04:44They were able to go to Mindoro.
04:45Grace came from Pinamalayan, Oriental, Mindoro and headed to Boac, Marinduque.
04:50But because the fast craft's trip to Pinamalayan was cancelled,
04:54she had to take a roro to Batangas Port.
04:57She will travel to Lucena, Quezon and there she will ride a roro to Marinduque.
05:03According to Pinamalayan Port, we should go straight to Batangas Port
05:08because it is safer to ride a roro there.
05:15Sandra, last month, 13,000 passengers left and arrived here in Batangas Port.
05:20Tomorrow, 20,000 passengers are expected to leave here
05:25if there is no storm signal here in the province of Batangas.
05:30And live from Batangas Port, I am JP Soriano, your witness.
05:36It is not yet possible to wake up because of Hurricane Christine
05:39yet the people of Occidental Mindoro have a new calvary
05:43because of the Super Lion Storm.
05:45That is why the farmers are working hard to save their land.
05:50Mav Gonzalez is a witness.
05:55Even though Puntiriano Bagong Leon is located in Hilagang, Luzon,
05:58the effect of the storm is still felt in the province of Occidental Mindoro.
06:01There was zero visibility on the national highway this afternoon due to the heavy rain.
06:06That is why the farmers in the town of Santa Cruz are working hard to save their land.
06:11We are working hard so that the rain will not stop and the fruits will still bear fruit.
06:16In the middle of October, they were supposed to do this.
06:19But Hurricane Christine did not make it.
06:21If it continues, it will not be possible.
06:24Is it still possible to do this?
06:26Three hectares, half an hectare. Half of the three?
06:30Half an hectare was also damaged.
06:33Oh, half an hectare was also damaged?
06:35Yes.
06:37This is what happened here in their farm.
06:40Half of the three hectares were damaged due to Hurricane Christine.
06:44Usually, it is about 100 cabanas for one hectare.
06:49Now, they are lucky because they can harvest up to 20 to 30 cabanas from one hectare.
06:56But the farmers that we talked to earlier are saddened because their crops were affected by the storm.
07:05On the other hand, the farmers are working hard all day long.
07:09This is year-on-year.
07:12We are lucky that we were able to harvest a lot of cabanas.
07:16We were able to harvest all of them.
07:17If you are not hardworking, you will be lazy.
07:20Try to borrow again. Try to harvest all of them.
07:23But if they have a glimmer of hope to harvest, others like Adeliza are still waiting.
07:29The rain did not stop.
07:31Even if it stopped for a day, it was still submerged in water.
07:35My husband went there earlier.
07:37The ground was already black.
07:39Then, there was a part where the rice was already sour.
07:44Adeliza's brother is now able to earn a living.
07:47But the problem is that it will dry up because of the heavy rain.
07:51That is why they covered the road with tarpaulin like other farmers.
07:55Adeliza said that she experienced this for the first time in 25 years of farming.
08:00The 100,000 Pesos that she earned seems to have been paid by the storm.
08:05We are hoping that we can spend it on our children.
08:08As I said, we haven't been able to harvest yet.
08:11We will have to borrow again to start again.
08:13If we still have money, we will borrow again.
08:15We still have a lot of countrymen who are farming.
08:18The flood affected us a lot.
08:21Even though we were not affected by the flood,
08:23there were a lot of rice that got wet and fell.
08:28There were also a lot of rice that did not dry up.
08:30That is why the total amount of rice that we are able to harvest from agriculture
08:36is now more than P165 million.
08:39The Noveleta-Cavite residents are far from the boundary of the Leyon Flood.
08:43But they are still concerned about the cleanliness of the area from the impact of the Christine Flood.
08:48Garbage is piled up on the roads
08:50and the dried up garbage from the floodwaters of the flood.
08:54That is why the barangay personnel and residents are helping to clean the area.
08:58Some of the Noveleta-Cavite residents also went to the Puntud
09:01where they were buried two days before the Day of the Dead.
09:04There are also four units of portable toilets inside.
09:08There are also flowers and candles outside the gate of the cemetery.
09:13For GMA Integrated News, Mav Gonzalez is your witness.
09:19Passengers in PITX and IA went down two days before All Saints Day.
09:24Rafitima is a witness.
09:29Most of the passengers were allowed to enter but by now,
09:31the number of passengers in PITX in Paranaque has increased.
09:34It is normal for passengers to go to Bicol after losing a few days because of the Christine Flood.
09:39Tomorrow is our peak, we might reach 200,000.
09:43The bus terminal is continuously monitoring the Leyon Flood
09:46so that they can inform the passengers as soon as possible about the effects of the flood.
09:50We are just monitoring if the conditions of the destinations are okay.
09:54If it is not okay, we will stop them so that our loved ones can have an option to go home.
10:00This afternoon, PITX was one of the first to be inspected by Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista
10:06along with officials from LTFRB, LTO, and HPG.
10:10It is a priority for the passengers to be safe
10:13so drug testing of bus drivers is one of the top priorities.
10:16Aside from checking the bus units,
10:20in the inspection, they discovered one bus unit with a wrong route.
10:24It was immediately corrected.
10:26In every major terminal, LTFRB issued a special permit
10:32for areas where buses are not allowed to travel.
10:36Followed by the inspection of Nino Aquino International Airport,
10:39the number of passengers in the three terminals of Paliparan has increased.
10:43This is the last season starting October 29.
10:48It is around 130,000.
10:53130,000 and we are expecting that it will increase up to 132,000 to 135,000 a day.
11:03The new management of IA admitted that a lot of things need to be fixed
11:07even though the baggage handling system has been broken for a long time.
11:11It is too old, just like other goods in Paliparan.
11:15They say it is easy to change because of the bureaucracy of the government.
11:19This is what we are proud of here in the private sector.
11:23It is fast. The terms of reference that are being done is fast.
11:27There are no publications for passengers.
11:29If we just say, we present to Mr. Ramon Ang that this is needed, we need to buy this,
11:34right there and there, we are already ordered.
11:36That's why I think the problems here at the airport can be easily addressed.
11:42The next thing to be fixed are the aero-bridges where passengers pass from the airport to the terminal.
11:48This is the reason for the delay of passengers' departure if the weather is bad.
11:53Half of the aircon units in Paliparan also need to be replaced.
11:57For GMI Integrated News, your Raffy Tima, Saksi.
