NewsTranscript
00:00In the middle of the raging fire in the country,
00:03it seems that a large scam hub in Paranaque has successfully operated.
00:08More than 400 people were arrested in the act,
00:11as well as some evidence, such as scripts for love scams and investment scams.
00:16Some tried to escape, but none of them was caught.
00:21John Consulta has the story.
00:22In the absence of a mission order,
00:28the people of the Bureau of Immigration and the National Bureau of Investigation
00:33entered the 15th and 16th floors of a house in Paranaque City.
00:37Don't touch them.
00:38Don't touch them, sir.
00:39Wait. Wait.
00:42More than 400 Chinese, Vietnamese, Indonesian, and Myanmar nationals
00:48were arrested in their computers.
00:52Some tried to escape and pass through the fire exit,
00:55but they were also caught outside the building.
00:58According to the authorities, this is a large phogo scam hub
01:02based on scripts seen on computers.
01:05Love scams and investment scams are what foreigners are doing.
01:09Many of them are still victims.
01:13That's what the remnants are doing now.
01:20Those who still don't want to open their minds
01:24are still staying here in the Philippines to victimize other people.
01:27In spite of the phogo ban now in 2025,
01:30the authorities have shown evidence
01:33that shows that there was no plan to arrest the group they arrested.
01:38They were arrested here.
01:41They were arrested here.
01:43And according to the Bureau of Immigration,
01:46these people are here for training.
01:50They are new to doing phogo activities.
01:56As of last count, there are 450 of different nationalities.
02:00They're mostly Chinese.
02:02Their operations have been the subject of surveillance proceedings
02:08for quite some time.
02:09We are awaiting the reaction of the arrested foreigners.
02:12They have been put under the BI's processing
02:15while the NBI is examining the computers and cell phones
02:19of the phogo scam hub.
02:21As far as I know, they haven't received a business permit yet.
02:26So they haven't inspected that place yet.
02:28What they did there is an old operation.
02:31It closed and they reopened it.
02:34For GMA Integrated News,
02:36John Consulta,
02:3724 Hours.
02:40On Wednesday,
02:42the House Secretary-General transmitted
02:45to the House Speaker's office
02:47the three impeachment complaints
02:49against Vice President Sara Duterte.
02:51It took a month
02:53for the first complaint to be filed
02:55before the Secretary-General completed
02:58the verification of these.
03:00Tina Panganiban-Perez was the one who filed the complaint.
03:04The Office of the Secretary-General of the Camera
03:06completed the verification
03:08of the three impeachment complaints
03:10against Vice President Sara Duterte
03:12regarding the re-investigation
03:14of the confidential funds.
03:16As soon as the complaint is filed,
03:18our legal department
03:20immediately investigated it.
03:24So as of today,
03:26all three have been verified.
03:28They can now be transmitted
03:30to the House of Representatives.
03:32They can now be transmitted.
03:34The Congress will return to session on Monday,
03:36but the Secretary-General of the Camera
03:38will target to transmit
03:40to the Office of the Speaker
03:42the three impeachment complaints
03:44on Wednesday.
03:56How will you respond
03:58to impressions
04:01that you are sitting down
04:03the impeachment complaints?
04:05Not really.
04:07You know,
04:09the House of Representatives
04:11cannot act on it
04:13until there is a session
04:15which is
04:17January 13.
04:19So the House
04:21will not do anything
04:23if they are still on break.
04:25One way or another,
04:27I have to transmit
04:29my complaint or complaints
04:31to the Office of the Speaker.
04:33It's like negligence
04:35on my part
04:37if I will not act
04:39on these complaints.

10:41Japanese rice, black rice, and malagkit.
10:43According to Agriculture Secretary Francisco Chula Uriel Jr.,
10:47this will be done to ensure that the price of rice is fair and affordable.
10:51He will have this implemented in Metro Manila
10:54and the price will be reviewed monthly
10:56to ensure that it is in line with the price movement in the world market.
11:00In addition to the DA, this went through a consultation
11:03with importers, retailers, and government agencies.
11:08We put a margin of 10 pesos per kilo from importer to retailer.
11:15So that's our 58.
11:17But now, the world price is going down.
11:21So maybe the 58 MSRP in the future should be lower
11:26if the price of the world price continues to go down.
11:30Brands will also remove rice
11:32that has become the reason for some frauds.
11:35Instead, they will replace it with color-coding.
11:38The DA will also issue guidelines on this.
11:41In terms of tagging, brands are prohibited
11:45to put the type, origin, percent broken, and price.
11:50And the tags have color-coding.
11:53That color-coding is actually NFA time
11:56based on the meeting yesterday with the retailers.
12:00Many of them are still implementing it actually.
12:04Next is the launch of solid rice
12:07that will be sold for 35 to 36 pesos
12:10or the so-called 100% broken.
12:13For now, it can only be bought in some selected families.
12:16Meanwhile, in the price monitoring of the DA
12:19with the DTI today,
12:21the price of tomatoes that reached 360 pesos per kilo
12:24was noticeably lowered.
12:28But the increase in the price of some primary products
12:33including sardines, milk, coffee, noodles, and bottled water.
12:37This month, the DTI and manufacturers will help
12:40to discuss the price of the primary products to be bought.
12:43In case of a high price agreement,
12:46the DTI will make an effort
12:48that it will not affect the buyers.
12:51We come up with a consensus on what is really best
12:54for both manufacturers and consumers.
12:56It should be win-win for all.
12:57But whatever the increase,
12:59it should be added to the buyers.
13:01I will just buy what is needed in the house.
13:04Soap, sugar, coffee,
13:07what is really needed.
13:10I am looking for alternatives.
13:13For example, the bread is 60 pesos.
13:16I am looking for the same, 40 pesos.
13:19That's how I lower it.
13:21And the essentials.
13:24For GMA Integrated News,
13:26Bernadette Reyes,
13:2824 hours.
13:30The translation of the whole of Jesus Nazareno
13:33took more than 20 hours this year.
13:36According to Capuchurch,
13:38more than 8 million devotees
13:41visited the Pista since January 2.
13:45Maki Pulido was there.
13:52More than 4 million devotees
13:54attended the translation of the whole of Jesus Nazareno.
13:58Since January 2 to 9,
14:00the translation of the whole of Jesus Nazareno
14:02took more than 8 million devotees.
14:06According to Capuchurch,
14:08this is the highest number of devotees
14:10at the Pista of the whole of Jesus Nazareno.
14:13We did not witness any riots,
14:16any violence,
14:18any clashes or fights
14:20with our devotees.
14:22Even though there were fights,
14:24we did not witness any clashes.
14:28The translation took more than 20 hours.
14:31Early in the morning,
14:33the procession returned to Capuchurch.
14:35It was a slow procession
14:37due to the many and aggressive devotees
14:39who attended at the same time.
14:42It was a perfect winter yesterday.
14:44If you notice,
14:46the weather did not warm up.
14:48It was cold,
14:50but it did not rain.
14:52That is why people did not stop on the road
14:56even though it was already noon.
14:58The procession had to stop twice
15:00due to the traffic jam
15:02on Taft and Finan Street.
15:04The procession also went under
15:06when it reached Plaza del Carmen
15:08in San Sebastian Church.
15:10After that,
15:12we could not move because
15:14the procession went under again.
15:16We had to stop
15:18because it was already under.
15:20We stopped at the top.
15:22From Plaza del Carmen
15:24to Miranda,
15:26we could not move.
15:28We also learned that before the procession
15:30was stopped,
15:32there were devotees who climbed up
15:34and took a rope.
15:36Because it was hard to move
15:38without a rope,
15:40Z.P. de Guzman,
15:42the police,
15:44who are also the children of Nazareno,
15:46guarded the procession.
15:48We intended to wear their tactical uniform
15:50to show the devotees
15:52that we will speed up
15:54the procession.
15:56When the police and the children
15:58of the procession changed,
16:00the sea of people were swept away.
16:02Here, the devotees followed the procession.
16:04At Plaza Miranda,
16:06the police were already waiting
16:08for the procession to pass.
16:10There was also a chance to see
16:12a police and a devotee fighting.
16:14In spite of this,
16:16according to the leadership of the Catholic Church,
16:18the number of injured this year
16:20is higher than that of Jesus Nazareno.
16:24More than 900 were hospitalized
16:26in first aid tents.
16:28More than 500 were hospitalized
16:30in hospitals, according to the Department of Health.
16:32Usually, those who are hospitalized
16:34are the ones who die.
16:36In spite of the
16:38repeated calls from the Church,
16:40there are still people who joined the procession.
16:42But this is less compared to the past
16:44processions.
16:46This year, no one will be able to stand
16:48the procession.
16:50They will study if there are other things they can do
16:52so that it will not be affected.
16:54We are not saying that the procession will change.
16:56We are just having enhancements,
16:58improvements, and renovations
17:00because we are learning every year.
17:02For GMA Integrated News,
17:04Mackie Pulido, 24 Hours.
17:06It is scheduled
17:08to start on Sunday
17:10the implementation of the gun ban
17:12and checkpoints
17:14at the start of the first day of the election period.
17:16If Comelec and PNP
17:18are going to protest,
17:20the public should not be afraid
17:22of the underground checkpoints
17:24in the country.
17:26Sandra Aguinaldo reports.
17:30On Sunday,
17:32it will be familiar to see
17:34the checkpoints on the streets
17:36throughout the country
17:38because it is at the start of the election period.
17:40Here, Comelec will have the power
17:42to implement the gun ban
17:44and checkpoints
17:46at the national and local elections in May.
17:48To avoid the possibility
17:50that Comelec and the police
17:52will not be afraid of the checkpoints.
17:54It has a marked vehicle.
17:56It has a signage
17:58with the name of the team leader.
18:00The checkpoints are properly
18:02uniformed.
18:04There are nameplates.
18:06It is in a well-lighted area at night.
18:08As a motorist,
18:10everyone is asked to help
18:12stop the authorities.
18:14At night,
18:16when we approach the checkpoints,
18:18we turn off the headlights
18:20and turn on the cabin lights.
18:22There will be no problem here.
18:24The Automobile Association
18:26of the Philippines reminds us
18:28that there are only a few simple questions
18:30that should be asked in this situation.
18:32The vehicle does not need to get out.
18:34The passengers and the driver
18:36cannot get in.
18:38Because the main purpose is
18:40one or two questions.
18:42The basic engagement is
18:44where are you from?
18:46Where are you going?
18:48If you cannot answer the basic question,
18:50you will escalate
18:52the conversation to say
18:54that you are hiding something.
18:56The authorities can check your vehicle
18:58but this is limited
19:00to what their eyes see
19:02or the so-called plain view doctrine.
19:04When the checkpoint is implemented,
19:06we will check the plain view doctrine.
19:08We will just apply it.
19:10We will check if there are illegal items
19:12that are prohibited
19:14such as guns.
19:16If there are none,
19:18we will not require them to open the compartment
19:20or the trunk so that we can look for it.
19:22Except if there are enough reasons
19:24to be wary
19:26because of the different movements
19:28and if there is information
19:30from the authorities about him.
19:32When the authorities check,
19:34they will be careful
19:36to follow the regulations.
19:38We need to be there
19:40to report
19:42and tell us what adjustments
19:44we need to make.
19:46If there is a traffic jam,
19:48please forgive us.
19:50For GMA Integrated News,
19:52I'm Sandra Aguinaldo,
