00:00Let's all become a Taxi!
00:15The ride-hailing app, Angkas, has asked for a refund
00:18after their riders' convoy went viral in Caintarizat.
00:22The drivers at the intersection even had a traffic light on.
00:28Let's take a look.
00:34Suddenly, the riders of the ride-hailing app, Angkas,
00:38stopped at an intersection in Caintarizat.
00:42That's why the drivers were forced to stop
00:44even though the traffic light was on.
00:50The drivers kept on honking,
00:52but the convoy didn't stop.
00:54The riders went down to help their fellow riders.
01:03Even the track in the middle of the convoy was blocked.
01:09It was only after the convoy had finished,
01:12that the incident happened.
01:15In a video message,
01:16the CEO of Angkas asked for a refund for their riders.
01:21He insisted that this should not have happened
01:23and he admitted that this is a lack of discipline,
01:25safety, and compliance with the traffic laws
01:28that Angkas is enforcing.
01:30I am aware of the incident and there are no excuses for our actions.
01:34I take full responsibility and we will do better.
01:48They will help the authorities in the event of an incident.
01:52GMA Integrated News is trying to get the permission
01:55of the Land Transportation Office.
01:58For GMA Integrated News,
02:00I am Jun Veneracion, your witness.
02:04Not less than 30 families were burned
02:07in Barangay Culiat, Quezon City.
02:09The fire reached three alarms
02:11that went off at 1 a.m. yesterday
02:13and was extinguished at 2 p.m. yesterday.
02:16The evacuees were taken to the evacuation center
02:19and the fire station is still being investigated.
02:23Almost 170 people were arrested in a scam hub in Makati City.
02:28They are using artificial intelligence or AI
02:32to victimize people.
02:34John Consulta is a witness.
02:37Halt! Halt!
02:38Halt!
02:40Step back! Step back!
02:42No one is using their cellphones!
02:44No one is using their computers!
02:47The NBI-NCR has not yet visited an ordinary office
02:50in Makati City.
02:51During the investigation,
02:53scripts that are used in scams were found.
02:56There are cellphones that exchange messages
02:59through a program.
03:01It is said that they are using sim cards that are not registered.
03:04We are looking into the violation
03:07of the Anti-Financial Account Scamming Act
03:10and then, of course, the Cybercrime Act.
03:14One of the NBI's targets
03:16was a scam hub
03:18that uses artificial intelligence or AI.
03:22The computer and the camera
03:24are only scanning the faces
03:26of the recruited scammers.
03:28The result is that they are generating
03:31using AI,
03:32the face of a woman
03:34who is currently being used by syndicates
03:36to make calls,
03:38to make video calls to foreigners
03:40in other countries
03:42so that they can be victimized.
03:44Earlier, I faced it
03:46even my own face
03:49that was changed
03:50to AI.
03:52What is that?
03:53Real-time.
03:54Real-time.
03:55That they will exchange.
03:57They will really juke into believing
03:59that they are real.
04:01167 Filipinos and 2 Chinese
04:04who were involved in the Love Scam activities
04:06were caught by the operatives.
04:08Most of their victims
04:10are foreigners based in Europe and the Middle East.
04:13According to our conversations,
04:15their group has been operating for 3 years
04:18and their quota is 3 foreigners per day.
04:21We will get the trust
04:23and the relationship of the customer.
04:25When we build the trust and the relationship,
04:28that's when the so-called investment scams come in.
04:31Actually, sir, there are a lot of people here.
04:34They can't give us a normal job.
04:37When it comes to the consensus,
04:38there's probably nothing.
04:39We're just thinking about money.
04:41The NBI reminded
04:43not to let the syndicates use the Scam Hub.
04:47Don't let them fall for the promise of big money.
04:50They will be more vulnerable.
04:53Along with the Love Scam,
04:54to those reported to the CICC,
04:56or Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center.
04:58According to the CICC,
05:00more than 10,000 cybercrime complaints
05:03were received in 2024.
05:06This is three times bigger
05:08compared to the complaints received in 2023.
05:11Almost Php 200 million
05:14were lost to the victims.
05:16For GMA Integrated News,
05:18I'm John Consulta, your witness.
05:23Php 13,000,000 worth of oil
05:25was fished from a tanker
05:27that was used for oil smuggling.
05:3026 people were arrested.
05:32Witness, Jun Veneracion.
05:39In an argument between customs officers,
05:41Coast Guard and PNP CIDG
05:44in Subuc in 461 Batangas,
05:46I was caught smuggling oil.
06:01The diesel was transferred
06:03from a motor tanker, Filiza,
06:05to a tanker truck.
06:0726 people were arrested.
06:10Including truck drivers,
06:12passengers and crew.

06:18According to customs officers,
06:20smuggling was taking place in the middle of the sea.
06:23The crude oil was transferred
06:25from a foreign vessel to a motor tanker, Filiza.
06:28The two Chinese nationals
06:31are said to be the communicators
06:35of Mother Vessel's crew
06:37who are being seen in the high seas.
06:40Because Mother Vessel's crew
06:42is also Chinese.
06:45More than 200,000 liters of crude oil
06:48worth Php 13,000,000 were fished.
06:52The tanker and the trucks
06:54were not able to pass
06:56the initial fuel sampling and testing
06:58that was needed to prove
07:00that the smuggling of crude oil
07:02was paid for.
07:03Arrested people are facing
07:05as well as owners of ships and trucks
07:07for violating the Customs Modernization and Tariff Act.
07:11We have many follow-up operations.
07:14The entire Philippines is alert
07:17when it comes to smuggled items.
07:20For GMA Integrated News,
07:22I'm your host, Jun Veneracion.
07:25A 15-year-old man was arrested
07:28for smuggling illegal drugs in Cebu City.
07:32According to authorities,
07:34he was a suspect in the shooting
07:36of a 44-year-old woman
07:38on February 2.
07:39The minor was hiding
07:41in the town of Dalaget
07:43until he was rescued.
07:45He was given a .45-caliber gun.
07:48The two men who were shot
07:50were found involved in the shooting.
07:53The motive for the shooting
07:55is still being investigated.
07:56But illegal drugs
07:58is one of the concerns.
08:00The Women and Children's Protection Desk
08:03is asking if you have any discernment
08:05or if you know the crime you committed.
08:11The two Liberian nationals
08:13were fined more than a million pesos
08:15for pretending to be able to make dollars.
08:18They were arrested
08:20for witnessing Jun Veneracion.
08:25Don't move!
08:26Don't move!
08:28Because of the complaint of smuggling,
08:30the two Liberian nationals in Quezon City
08:33were arrested in the operation of PLTC-IDG.
08:36Don't move!
08:38Don't move!
08:40The suspects were fined 1.8 million pesos
08:43after believing the victim
08:45that they can make U.S. dollar bills
08:48just like Mina Magic.
08:50In front of the victims,
08:52the suspects showed them
08:53the smuggling of chemical powder
08:55in a green paper bag
08:57to make doliat.
08:58One of them was shown
09:00how to make the paper into a dollar.
09:02The other one,
09:05they will keep him or her busy
09:07so that if he makes a mistake,
09:10he will change the paper
09:12to the original dollar.
09:14That's how fast their hands are.
09:17The magic doliat
09:19was brought by the victim to the money changer
09:21to be exchanged.
09:22That's why he was more convinced
09:24that the doliat is real.
09:26When the victim met the suspects again,
09:28that's when he started asking for money
09:31to buy chemical powder
09:33and green paper
09:34to make doliat.
09:36You will be given a real U.S. dollar
09:39to entice you that this is a lucrative scheme.
09:43The suspects were slapped
09:45with the complaint of estafa,
09:46illegal use,
09:48and banknotes.
09:50We are still trying to get their money.
