00:00Live from the GMA Network Center, the 20 years of JT Class Awards.
00:10Good evening, John Visayas and Mindanao.
00:15In the middle of the streets of Balit Metro Manila, after the election,
00:20an SUV with a Senator's plaque passed through EDSA bus lane, even though it was prohibited.
00:27The driver of the SUV, who also used his dirty finger to drive, was caught red-handed by the enforcer.
00:34That's why when the Senate President called the LTO,
00:37the driver and the SUV were immediately identified.
00:42Oscar Oida was there.
00:47In a video, an enforcer saw an SUV that entered the EDSA bus lane even though it was prohibited.
00:55The driver's plaque was number 7, a protocol plate that was given to the Senators.
01:03But instead of stopping, the driver of the SUV was stopped by the enforcer.
01:16The video was posted by the Special Action Intelligence Committee, or SAIC, of the Department of Transportation.
01:24It happened last night in a northbound lane before the Guadalupe Station of the bus carousel.
01:32The enforcer's voice can be heard.
01:36Sir, just a moment.
01:38Sir, we're just verifying you.
01:40Sir, I have a driver's license.
01:47While the vehicle was reversing, the passenger took his hand out of the window.
01:53The face of the driver was also seen.
01:57Sir, please stop.
02:00When the SUV reached the no-barrier zone, it kept reversing.
02:06Sir, you can see the back of the vehicle.
02:09Just let him go.
02:13In the first interview, SAIC said that they were asking who owns the vehicle.
02:19The enforcer also did not see a Senator driving the SUV.
02:24The enforcers just don't like it.
02:27It's just a job.
02:29The vehicle was reversing. We saw it in the video.
02:34But in your observation of the license plate, is it authentic or fake?
02:41It looks like a real vehicle.
02:45The DOTR is now tracing the registered owner of the vehicle to the Land Transportation Office or LTO.
02:52Senate President Chis Escudero urged the LTO to identify the driver of the vehicle
02:58and to find out if the owner is a Senator.
03:02He hopes that the driver will face charges.
03:06Clearly, there is a violation of the law.
03:08The SUV should be held accountable.
03:11I asked the LTO to find out who owns and uses this vehicle,
03:19this vehicle, and also the license plate,
03:21so that I can find out if this is an issue with a member of the Senate.
03:24But according to the LTO, there is no plate number 7 that is an issue with that model of SUV.
03:31They said that the owner and driver will be called immediately.
03:35It's time to go.
03:37For GMA Integrated News, Oscar Oida,
03:40for 24 Hours.
03:44Be careful with the vitamin syrups that you give your children to drink.
03:50It might be like the ones that are seasoned using a washing machine
03:55and mixed with food coloring.
03:58John Consulta's grade in the field of construction is EXCLUSIVE.
04:07When it comes to this house in Arayat, Pampanga,
04:13It's just here. It's just here. Good morning.
04:16We have a quarry here.
04:20We also have a quarry with the FDA.
04:23According to the operatives of the NBI Central Lausanne Regional Office 3,
04:27this is a good place to make peking vitamin C syrup for children.
04:32The repacking of drugs that are not registered in the Food and Drug Administration or FDA is also on track.
04:39The NBI discovered the making of peking vitamin C syrup
04:43when a former employee of the FDA,
04:46a washing machine.
04:49One of the surprises of the raid agents
04:52is that they discovered that those raw materials,
04:56sugar, food coloring, and food flavoring,
04:59are just here in this washing machine,
05:02mixed by a group.
05:04All of this is put in a washing machine
05:07to be mixed together.
05:09Then, they put it in bottles like this.
05:14According to the NBI,
05:15aside from the Central Lausanne and Metro Manila,
05:19their counterfeit vitamin C syrups
05:24can be found in the provinces of Visayas and Mindanao.
05:29What they are doing is very unsanitary.
05:31The contents of this are unregistered.
05:34It only contains flavoring,
05:37color flavoring,
05:39and sugar.
05:40That's all.
05:41There is no vitamin that can be obtained from this.
05:43This is for children.
05:45Children get sick easily.
05:47Their immune system is weak.
05:50They expect to get this vitamin C.
05:55But they don't.
05:57They've been doing this for almost 20 years.
05:59Almost P400,000 worth of bottled pecking vitamin C syrups
06:03were confiscated.
06:04One of them was arrested,
06:06the owner of the factory
06:08that we are still trying to get permission for.
06:10At first,
06:11they copied the original
06:13that makes registered vitamin C.
06:15As time went by,
06:17they changed the brand.
06:19We sued them.
06:20We inquested them
06:21for violation of Republic Act 9711,
06:23the Drug and Food Administration Act of 2009.
06:26The NBI reminded the public
06:28to buy from the accredited drugstores
06:33that we already know.
06:35We can see them anywhere.
06:37Instead of buying from the side,
06:39it's still cheap,
06:40but there's no effect.
06:41There's no efficacy.
06:42For GMA Integrated News,
06:44John Consulta.
06:45Tune in for 24 hours.
06:49In the middle of the protest
06:51for the victims of the Christine and Leon earthquake,
06:54President Bongbong Marcos admitted
06:56that the government will never be able
06:58to stop the disaster
07:00even though the government is doing everything.
07:02He also has flood control,
07:04but he can't handle
07:06the effects of climate change.
07:08His orders to the agencies
07:10are as follows.
07:16In the area of Pinsalan,
07:17the Christine and Leon earthquake
07:19and the number of victims reached 150,
07:23this day was considered
07:24as the national day of destruction.
07:26You know, when you lose a life,
07:27you lose a life.
07:28It's a terrible tragedy.
07:30The President mentioned that
07:32in Talaysay, Batangas,
07:33where a candle was lit
07:34and 20 people were buried
07:36in what is considered the ground zero
07:38of Pananalasa.
07:39The President admitted
07:41that the government will never be able
07:43to stop the disaster
07:44even though the government is doing everything.
07:47It's never enough.
07:48It's never enough.
07:49I wish we could do more.
07:51We're doing everything that we can.
07:53In the whole province,
07:54the total number of victims
07:55is 61
07:57to help with the recovery.
07:59The government distributed
08:00P30,000 for the beneficiaries,
08:03materials for the reconstruction
08:05of the damaged houses,
08:06and P10 million for the local government.
08:09While in the neighboring town of Laurel
08:11where 11 people were killed,
08:13a bridge was also inspected.
08:15Here, P1 million worth of infrastructure
08:18was destroyed by the Christine earthquake,
08:19in addition to the initial tests in the area.
08:22This is a huge event in our lives.
08:26We were saved from the volcano,
08:29but this is what happened to us.
08:34Flooding of rivers,
08:35flooding of rivers,
08:36and heavy rains
08:38are recurring themes
08:40in the floods
08:41that occurred in the past.
08:42Among the questions
08:44about where the funds
08:45for flood control projects
08:47that amounted to almost P300 billion
08:49in 2023,
08:50and P300 billion in 2024 and 2025,
08:54the Senate will impose
08:56the budget of the DPWH.
08:58This is welcome by the President,
09:00but if he decides,
09:01climate change is severe,
09:03so it's difficult,
09:04even for the projects laid out.
09:06Our flood control is really overwhelming.
09:08We have flood control,
09:09but we can't.
09:11We really can't,
09:12because in the entire history of the Philippines,
09:15this has never happened.
09:16This is the first time we're facing this.
09:19Look, not only here,
09:21did you see what happened in Spain?
09:23Did you see what happened
09:24in different places?
09:25In the States,
09:26what happened there,
09:27it's the same.
09:28In those places,
09:29this is the first time this happened.
09:31A flood that they have never seen
09:33in their entire lives.
09:35This is what was depicted
09:36by the people of Laurel, Batangas,
09:38the flood that hit their town
09:40in Kasagsagan
09:41of Baguio-Christine,
09:42that hit Bayoyongan Bridge,
09:44here behind me.
09:46That's why the President
09:47is hiding something
09:48from the government agencies.
09:50The Department of Science and Technology
09:52has already enacted
09:53warning systems
09:54and communication to the DILG
09:56so that the news
09:57can reach the local governments
09:59faster.
10:00The DPWH and the DNR
10:02are also reviewing
10:03the design of the roads and bridges
10:05to be safer
10:07in the changing climate.
10:09From Batangas,
10:10for GMA Integrated News,
10:12Ivan Mayrena was arrested
10:13for 24 hours.
10:16Wanted in Indonesia,
10:17one of the arrested
10:18in the BPO compound in Bataan
10:20was found guilty
10:22of scamming in his own country.
10:24According to the Presidential
10:25Anti-Organized Crime Commission,
10:27Salima was arrested.
10:29Reference.
10:34In the so-called Central One Bataan,
10:36Business Process Outsourcing
10:37or BPO Company
10:38that was once in Bagat Bataan,
10:41one of the arrested
10:43was an Indonesian team leader
10:45who, according to the Presidential
10:46Anti-Organized Crime Commission
10:47of PAOK,
10:48was wanted in Indonesia
10:50for scamming activities.
10:52Earlier,
10:53the Indonesian Embassy
10:54in the Philippines
10:55in PAOK
10:56announced
10:57that Indonesia is involved
10:58in money laundering
10:59and online gambling.
11:01It has been operating
11:02from the Philippines
11:03for one and a half years
11:05and has a net worth of
11:06900 billion rupiah
11:07or almost 4 billion pesos
11:10Just providing like a support system
11:15to operate the gambling online
11:20with the customer in Indonesia.
11:24And it's illegal in Indonesia?
11:27Really illegal.
11:28I told you before
11:29that Indonesia is very strict.
11:31Even for the someone
11:34for posting in the social media,
11:37this is not allowed.
11:38This is not allowed for us.
11:39The Indonesian authorities
11:40are now considering
11:42to send him home.
11:44But because he is a team leader
11:45and operations manager
11:46in BPO in Bataan,
11:48he is also being investigated
11:50for other crimes.
11:51That's what makes me sad.
11:53Because here in the Philippines,
11:55they are working together
11:56like we are the world.
11:59They are working together
12:01to deceive and scam
12:05and make people's lives
12:08miserable in different parts of the world.
12:12Meanwhile,
12:13more than 40 foreigners
12:15have been arrested
12:17in Central One Bataan
12:18by the Immigration Inquest.
12:20Foreigners went through
12:21biometrics profiling and processing
12:23including Malaysians,
12:25Chinese, Thai, Pakistani,
12:27Bangladeshi, Vietnamese
12:29and Brazilians.
12:30They are facing deportation cases.
12:32They are also facing
12:34a lack of permits and visas.
12:36GMA Integrated News tried
12:38to get hold of Central One Bataan
12:40but their lawyer
12:42did not give up.
12:44The company's CEO
12:46first denied the allegations.
12:48For GMA Integrated News,
12:50Sally Marafang,
12:5224 Hours.
12:54The storm Marseille
12:56could become
12:58a severe tropical storm
13:01as it approaches the mainland.
13:03It could pass through
13:05the places where the
13:06Christine and Leon
13:08were first hit by the storm.
13:09Maris Umali reports.
13:14The Christine and Leon
13:16were not yet able to breathe
13:18but now,
13:20the tropical storm Marseille
13:22is about to hit again.
13:24If we compare the Marseille
13:26with the Christine and Leon
13:28extreme northern or northern
13:30Luzon will also be hit.
13:32The Christine landfalled
13:34in Isabela and crossed
13:36northern Luzon.
13:38The Leon landfalled
13:40in Taiwan.
13:42Regardless of the direction,
13:44it also rained in many
13:46provinces in the north
13:48like Cagayan Valley, Cordillera and Ilocos Region.
13:50That's why they are being careful
13:52based on the latest track.
13:54The tropical storm Marseille
13:56could reach the Babuyan Islands
13:58but it could also reach Cagayan or Isabela.
14:00In the area of probability
14:02or area of uncertainty,
14:04it could also hit the trough
14:06or tip of the storm in some parts of central Luzon
14:08like the Christine and Leon
14:10that were hit by the storm.
14:12Our countrymen are urging
14:14to be alert and to be vigilant
14:16especially so that the storm Marseille
14:18can slow down and get stronger.
14:20If there is a severe tropical storm
14:22tomorrow and the night before
14:24it could reach the typhoon category.
14:26It's possible that the storm
14:28could reach the signal number 4.
14:30If it slows down
14:32it's possible that
14:34the wind and rain
14:36will be stronger.
14:38We can also see
14:40in the track of Marseille
14:42that the area it will pass
14:44is in the middle of Leon
14:46and Christine so
14:48the areas affected
14:50by the previous two storms
14:52can also be prepared.
14:54Not only the wind and rain,
14:56it's also possible that Marseille
14:58will be hit by a storm surge
15:00and a big flood in the sea.
15:02The local government
15:04of Panibagong Baguyo is alert.
15:06All the local government units have been mobilized.
15:08They've been informed of the evacuation
15:10steps to take.
15:12The evacuation centers are also ready
15:14except for Batangas where
15:16many people were hit by the Christine storm.
15:18For GMI Integrated News,
15:20I'm Maris Umali Naktutok, 24 Hours.
