NewsTranscript
00:00Some parts of Bicol Region and Mindanao were flooded.
00:03Easterlies rained in Mindanao while shearlines in Bicol Region.
00:08Let's take a look.
00:12Motorists are crossing the road in the direction of Iguanong-San Segun.
00:17The water level is high. It's still very high.
00:19Free school students are being suspended until the secondary level
00:23after the heavy rainfall advisory was lifted.
00:27Some people were forced to swim in the Albay River due to the heavy rainfall.
00:32Motorists can still cross the road but they need to be careful.
00:37While motorists are being suspended,
00:39the Mangit Highway in Balatan, Camarines Sur was closed due to the heavy rainfall.
00:43Heavy rainfall was also experienced in Mindanao.
00:45In Dabao Occidental, 300 people were evacuated
00:48who are still staying in evacuation centers.
00:52Heavy rainfall was also experienced in Tawi-Tawi
00:54where trees fell and classrooms were damaged.
00:57Roofs were also removed.
00:59Authorities helped to repair and use the classrooms.
01:03Low temperatures were recorded in some parts of Luzon today.
01:08It reached 13.4 degrees Celsius in Baguio City
01:11and 14 degrees Celsius in Latinidad, Benguet.
01:14There are also many places in the country under the Gale Warning.
01:17It means that it will be dangerous for small vehicles to cross the sea.
01:22For GMA Integrated News, Joseph Morong is your witness.
01:27The NBI and AFP are facing the Chinese National that is accused of espionage.
01:32But the leader of the group says that he is a negotiator.
01:36Witness, Ian Cruz.
01:41On January 17, the authorities arrested in Makati City,
01:45Deng Yuanqing and two Filipinos for espionage.
01:49But it's not all over yet.
01:51On January 24, the authorities arrested two Chinese
01:57from Palawan in Naia Terminal 3.
02:00In these videos, drones are flying
02:03to the suspects in Ulugan Bay in Palawan
02:05where some Philippine Navy ships are coming and going towards the West Philippine Sea.
02:11According to a witness,
02:12it was only on January 20 to 23 that he saw the Chinese in their area.
02:18I just noticed that they were moving.
02:21They just took a picture of the Navy ship.
02:25On January 25, the two Chinese were arrested
02:30in Binondo and Intramuro in Manila.
02:33In a condo unit in Manila,
02:35the installed military-grade CCTV can be seen.
02:39It can monitor the movements of Philippine Coast Guard and Navy ships
02:43coming and going from Manila Bay.
02:45And in a follow-up operation in Dumaguete City,
02:48another Chinese, who is said to be the field commander or chief,
02:52was arrested for espionage.
02:54He lives in Dumaguete because he has a Filipino wife.
02:58The NBI also showed the CCTV camera of the suspects
03:02and the solar panel that gives power to it.
03:06The NBI said that five new captives and Deng Yuanqing
03:10will join the investigation.
03:13We have witnesses who were able to capture the captives.
03:17But this group is the only one.
03:20They are the ones who are always meeting the other.
03:24According to the Bureau of Immigration,
03:26the group has been going back and forth in the Philippines for a long time.
03:29They have embedded themselves in our society.
03:33That's one thing that we have noticed that they are the same.
03:37Some of them have been working here with a working visa.
03:41Some of them already have a Filipino wife and have been here.
03:45The earliest record that we have of them was 2002.
03:50Some of them are members of the organization.
03:53That's why the Chinese and some officials of the country are also involved.
03:58This is part of their method.
04:01They employ deception and exploitation.
04:04They would disguise themselves as harmless
04:07or members of a legitimate organization.
04:09Then they would establish contact with individuals who have access to valuable information.
04:13The NBI and the Armed Forces of the Philippines believe
04:16that they were only able to capture the Chinese who are being spied on here in the Philippines.
04:23There are still many of us who can be caught by these activities.
04:33And we are in the process of also building up the intelligence against this.
04:41Other suspects of our questions have not spoken.
04:44But their leader insists.
04:47They said you were a spy.
04:49I'm innocent. I'm not a spy. I'm not a spy. Not a spy, I'm still.
04:53I came from Marabur. I was there for two months and was not caught.
04:59You're a spy? Are you spying on us?
05:04We're just here for business.
05:09The Philippine-Chinese civic leader, Teresita Angsi, called on the NBI and AFP to conduct a fair investigation.
05:18The story should be kept silent before the arrested are charged with spying.
05:23We just want an impartial investigation.
05:28The story should be kept silent before the arrested are charged with spying.
05:38Just from getting equipment inside his car, why did you conclude like that?
05:50For GMA Integrated News, Ian Cruz is your witness.
05:54Social Weather Stations released the results of their survey regarding the senatorial elections that were commissioned by a group.
06:02Our witness.
06:08In the survey of Social Weather Stations for Voter Preferences for Senators,
06:13sponsored by the Advisory and Research Consultancy Group, STRATBASE,
06:18included 12 possible winners,
06:21Congressman Erwin Tulfo, former Senate President Tito Soto, Senators Lito Lapid and Bong Go,
06:28former Senator Panfilo Lacson, Broadcaster Ben Tulfo,
06:32Senator Apia Cayetano, former Senator Manny Pacquiao,
06:36Makati City Mayor Abby Binay,
06:39Senator Bato de la Rosa and Ramon Bong Revilla,
06:42TV host Willie Revillame,
06:45and former Senator Kiko Pangilinan,
06:47and Senator Aimee Marcos due to margin of error.
06:52The survey has an error margin of plus minus 2.31 percent
06:57and was conducted from January 17 to 20
07:00in a face-to-face interview of 1,800 registered voters across the country.
07:06According to the SWS,
07:08the list used for the survey was based on the initial ballot-based template
07:13issued by the Commission on Elections.
07:15For GMA Integrated News, I'm Mark Salazar.
07:19Your witness.
07:22The Philippine National Police has confirmed
07:24that there was an off-land strike or house-to-house violence against individuals
07:28whose gun registration has been expired.
07:30That is even though the Comelec has approved it,
07:32it was suspended during this election period.
07:35The witness is June Venera Sean.
07:39How are you?
07:40How are you?
07:41I'm fine.
07:42How are you?
07:43I'm fine.
07:48This is called an off-land strike under the long-term operation plan.
07:52Police are visiting the gun owners whose registration has been expired
07:56to talk to them.
07:59Did you see the gun?
08:00No, sir.
08:02Sir, we have a report that you processed the gun registration.
08:08Did you process it?
08:09No, sir.
08:10The people who are knocking are on the list of PNP Firearms and Explosives Unit
08:15of individuals whose gun registration has been expired.
08:18Sir, please let me receive this.
08:20Sir, please let me receive this.
08:26That's a good thing.
08:27At least, they are reminding me.
08:30That's okay.
08:31I like it more.
08:32I even asked them.
08:33Did you ask them?
08:34Why did you ask them?
08:36I trusted them.
08:37In the off-land strike,
08:39there are two strict rules that police must follow.
08:43First, they are not allowed to enter the house.
08:46Second, the off-land strike can only be conducted from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
08:53But during the election period,
08:54the Common Elects are lining up at the PNP as its deputized agency
08:58to suspend the off-land strike because it might be used as a threat.
09:03This is to avoid any issue where voters are afraid
09:08or the off-land strike is used for the advantage of some politicians,
09:13some candidates, some incumbents.
09:15If there's a need, we will be forced to even set aside the judgment of a deputized agency.
09:22The PNP insisted that the off-land strike will not be suspended,
09:26but they are ready to have a dialogue with the Common Elects.
09:28More than 600,000 notices are required to those who own firearms that are registered.
09:35Of course, this is our direct job.
09:38It's not prohibited by the election
09:40because it's our job as police to locate the firearms and to account all our firearms.
09:47On Tuesday, the PNP and Common Elects officials met to resolve the issue of the off-land strike.
09:55We are open to dialogue with the Common Elects to again explain to them
10:00the nature and even extent and limitation of the off-land strike.
10:05For GMA Integrated News, I am Yun Van Rasho, your witness.
10:11More than 70 persons deprived of liberty are not happy
10:16who are now free starting today.
10:19And one of them brought home his pet cat.
10:24Our witness.
10:28This is not the prison you're thinking of.
10:32Let's put them in jail.
10:33In the MMFF Best Picture of Green Boats, produced by GMA Pictures and GMA Public Affairs,
10:38many were impressed by the story of the cat, Kuting,
10:40the pet of one of the PDL members, Dennis Trillo.
10:45It's as if the character of Ronny Lazaro Q. Kuting was born.
10:54It's no different from the character of a PDL member whom we know as his pet cat.
10:59He is now free, so he will bring home his pet cat.
11:03My cousin gave it to me.
11:05I was sleeping and I felt sleepy, so I brought it home.
11:10No matter what, he has someone with him, even if his family did not agree.
11:15I am happy, sir, that I can be with my family.
11:19Another inmate, his emotions did not stop.
11:23Are you happy, sir?
11:26I am just happy. I am very happy.
11:29Even if I did not do it, let's just forgive them.
11:32Because not all people who are in jail are guilty.
11:39Only one woman is with the inmates today.
11:42God is so good because I'm only the rose among the thorns.
11:47Along with thanksgiving to those who helped and processed his release,
11:52there was a call for those who were with him.
11:55I know that the documents for our release are being circulated.
11:58Thank you very much.
11:59I hope that more families will be happy.
12:03All those who are in the infirmary, bedridden, please take care of their cases.
12:11The family of another inmate has a plan for him.
12:15I know that my children will be given a job, a livelihood.
12:28Since the beginning of the year, more than 500 PDLs have been released,
12:32including those in New Believer Prison in Muntinlupa.
12:35They will be provided with hygiene kits that also contain cash for initial expenses such as massages.
12:42Officials of the B.U.C.O.R. called on the public
12:45to give those who committed mistakes a chance to start a new life.
12:50Their desire to be a good citizen is a step towards a better and more peaceful community.
13:01For GMA Integrated News, Mav Gonzalez is your witness.
13:12Stay tuned for more news.
