00:00Last time, a man was caught stealing bread outside a house in Lipa, Batangas, but the clothes he got were not his.

00:09According to the uploader, before buying and when his grandmother and cousin owned the stolen clothes,

00:14they committed a crime when the CCTV footage was reviewed.

00:17The man who stole the bread is still being investigated.

00:22The operation of an offshore gaming company in the basement of a hotel in Pasay was exposed.

00:29Six Koreans and 14 Filipinos were arrested.

00:33Salima Refran has this report.

00:41In the basement of a four-star hotel in Pasay,

00:44the Bureau of Immigration found the subjects of their mission order.

00:49A small office located in Intal ng Paok and PNP CIDG

00:54is still operating an offshore gaming company in the country.

00:58Computers and various gadgets were found here in this room

01:03being used to operate an offshore gaming company.

01:06But unlike other operations, their targets are Koreans.

01:12The location was investigated based on the tip received and the surveillance of the authorities.

01:17We've been hearing about Korean POGOs for a long time,

01:20but this is the first time that we're able to get actual Koreans running an offshore gaming operation.

01:25If you're caught, they'll kill you and you'll win.

01:29Then you keep on loading up to 200,000 won.

01:32If your bet money is 200,000 won, you'll be cut.

01:36So there's scamming, there's betting.

01:38The Korean police is also involved in the operation.

01:41Upon initial verification, you can say that this is an offshore gaming operation.

01:45Yes, yes.

01:46It's kind of...

01:47It has a casino slot and the amount that they bet.

01:52Yes, that's right.

01:53According to our data from the Fugitive Search Unit,

01:55the number one arrest in terms of fugitives are Koreans.

01:59The Chinese are number two.

02:01It's a scam.

02:02Poice phishing.

02:03These small gadgets are now being used by OTPs or one-time passcode generators.

02:10This is where OTPs are produced.

02:12It's stored here.

02:14Their transactions are saved here.

02:17So they need this every time they open a computer.

02:20For every computer, there's a designated OTP.

02:23Cryptocurrency wallet transactions are all here.

02:29This is the number for them to enter.

02:33Gambling and scamming are also a serious problem in Korea.

02:38We're talking of billions.

02:40Because with just one computer, you can earn 7 million won,

02:452 million won, and 320,000 won.

02:48So that's for one computer only.

02:51So how many computers do we see here?

02:53The problem is also big.

02:55Because they're saying that the scamming or online scams have passed.

03:01Their crimes, their normal crimes.

03:06Six Koreans and 14 Filipinos were arrested by the authorities.

03:10Is this sports? Sports betting?

03:12No.

03:13No? Gambling?

03:14I don't know what is this.

03:17Why?

03:18Not cryptocurrency?

03:20I only know about online gaming.

03:22Online?

03:23Yes.

03:24Ma'am, do you know that online gaming is now prohibited?

03:28Yes.

03:29Actually, I have no idea.

03:31Because I've only been here for a month.

03:33Immigration violations will be faced by foreigners.

03:36The Filipinos will be under investigation.

03:40Sarima Nefra reports for GMA Integrated News.

03:45This is the GMA Regional TV News.

03:51Breaking news in Visayas and Mindanao from GMA Regional TV.

03:55A man was caught cheating on a cell phone inside a salon in Bago, Negros Occidental.

04:01Sarah, has the man been arrested?

04:03Rafi has not been arrested yet.

04:05But his identity has been revealed because he cheated on his cell phone during a live stream.

04:12This is Kim Salinas reporting for GMA Regional TV.

04:19Good morning, girls. For today's video...

04:22A female staff member of a salon in Bago, Negros Occidental did a live stream on social media.

04:27She showed her cleaning skills in the salon.

04:31But when she disappeared from the screen, a man peeked at her and pretended to be a masseuse in the salon.

04:37Until he stole the cell phone.

04:40The police identified the suspect with the help of a recorded video.

04:45The staff member did not face the media.

04:47But according to the masseuse, the woman was fighting in the back of the salon.

04:52Her staff member was shocked to see that the cell phone was gone.

04:57The Bago City Police is now working in other stations to find the man.

05:02It was discovered that there are records of the police in Bacolod City.

05:10The front part of a pickup truck and almost half of a van were destroyed after a collision

05:16on the National Highway in Barangay Apopong in General Santos City.

05:20Based on the investigation, the pickup truck overtook the van.

05:25The four vehicles of the van, including its driver, were dead on arrival at the hospital.

05:3013 people were injured from the two vehicles.

05:34According to the police, the two men were still talking to each other to settle the matter.

05:38The driver of the pickup truck has yet to be released.

05:41Kim Salinas of GMA Regional TV is reporting for GMA Integrated News.

05:49A 20-year-old boy in Cebu had to be taken to the hospital after he was infected.

05:55According to the father of the boy, he was rushed to the hospital on February 4.

05:59His six-year-old son was injured from a broken bottle.

06:04A nursing attendant cut his son's wound.

06:07After two days, his son's teeth turned black.

06:11So they brought the boy to Talisay City Hospital and the doctor there recommended

06:16to cut his foot because of the infection.

06:19The father went to the Department of Health Region 7

06:22and called for help from the hospital in Toledo City.

06:26According to DOH-7, the doctor should be the one who cuts the wound

06:30and the nurse or nursing attendant should help.

06:33Based on the statement of the hospital,

06:36they will conduct their own investigation regarding the incident.

06:40Their employee is suspended.

06:52Regarding the disqualification case against their candidate and latest in ballot printing,

06:56we will talk to Cominec Chairman George Erwin Garcia.

06:59Good morning and welcome back to Balitang Hali.

07:02Good morning sir Rafi and good morning to our countrymen.

07:05How will this affect the preparation of Cominec for the upcoming midterm elections?

07:09The disqualification case against their candidate is also a campaign period.

07:14Sir Rafi, the disqualification cases, the tendency of disqualification cases,

07:20even if we have an initial decision against a candidate,

07:23it will have no effect on the candidate.

07:26His name will not be removed from the list and his name will remain in the ballot

07:31even if the case is not closed and all the votes are considered valid or there is a visa vote.

07:39The decision should be final and executory.

07:43There will be an executory decision if Cominec and Bank made a decision

07:49and there is no restraining order from the Supreme Court.

07:52Again, their name is still in the ballot and they are valid candidates.

07:58It's clear.

07:59Almost a thousand people were arrested due to the violation of the election gun ban.

08:03Should this be left to be handled and is it possible to impose a punishment?

08:08Sir Rafi, what we are implementing is an effective campaign against guns and deadly weapons on the streets.

08:17Especially our checkpoints.

08:19If we will notice, sir Rafi, our checkpoints are still in order.

08:24The rights of our countrymen are still in order.

08:26Our PNP, AFP, Philippine Coast Guard, Bureau of Fire Protection and other authorities have no violation on our checkpoints.

08:34That's why our heads are heavy, sir Rafi.

08:37We know that even if you have a permit to carry or a license,

08:41it's prohibited to suspect all of them, but they are still carrying guns.

08:45Maybe it's better to remove their license or permit to carry as a punishment

08:52and maybe it's better to extend the punishment against those who violate the law.

08:57But now, do we have a data on how many people were arrested compared to the previous elections?

09:03There are still more than the previous elections.

09:06In the previous elections, there were more than 2,000 people arrested.

09:09At the moment, there are less than 1,000 people arrested.

09:11There are more than 900 people arrested in our checkpoints.

09:14So hopefully, this will not increase in the previous elections

09:18and hopefully, this will continue to decrease in preparation for the 2028 national and local elections

09:26where there will be president and vice president.

09:29We will go to negative campaigning.

09:31You said that it's not prohibited per se, but it can be charged.

09:34What is the qualification of this?

09:36Because our laws say that campaigning can be for or against a country.

09:43Therefore, when you do negative campaigning, you should still respect the rights of the person you are negative campaigning for.

09:50For example, you should not be bordering on libel, cyber libel, or what is called oral defamation.

09:57It means that you should not destroy the integrity of a person

10:02by throwing out accounts or baseless accusations.

10:07But negative campaigning per se, for example, you said that his principle is wrong.

10:12It's not right.

10:13Or his position on the issue of the West Philippine Sea is not the right position.

10:18That is a negative campaigning and it does not talk about a violation of our law,

10:24such as libel, cyber libel, or oral defamation.

10:28Okay.

10:29For the time being, how many ballots have been printed?

10:34Sir Raffy, 48 percent of our requirement of 72 million.

10:39We are printing 38 million ballots.

10:42So far so good, Sir Raffy.

10:44Hopefully, we will be able to finish the printing of ballots in the second week of March.

10:48As for the verification, I hope we will be able to finish it all by April 14 of this year.

10:54Okay. Thank you very much for your time in Balitang Hali.

10:58Thank you very much, Sir Raffy Ubuoy.

11:01The Commentary Chairman, George Erwin Garcia.

11:08Full support to Miss Universe Philippines 2023 Michelle D

11:12to her cousin, Win-Win Marquez,

11:14who is one of the contenders to get the crown to Miss Universe Philippines this year.

11:32His idol is Win and his mother is Melanie Marquez.

11:36Win-Win will compete with the other 68 candidates

11:39who have fresh faces and pageant veterans.
