00:00The first news.
00:14Meanwhile, different sectors sent their senatorial candidates to continue their campaign for the election of 2025.
00:22The first news was from James Agustin.
00:25Amira Lidasan was in Iloilo to have a dialogue with Congresswoman Arlene Brosas.
00:35Atty. Sani Matula asked for support from farmers.
00:38Roberto Balyun gave support to fishermen.
00:42Heidi Mendoza also came virtually to the meeting.
00:46In Quezon City, Manny Pacquiao laid the advocacy of strengthening small businesses.
00:51Kiko Pangilina visited a Bangus Processing Facility in Dagupan.
00:57Ariel Quirubin praised the beauty of tourism in Mesamis Occidental.
01:02Senator Francis Tolentino recognized the importance of women in society.
01:07Benhur Abalos said local government code should be strengthened.
01:13Alin Andamo helped free and quality health services.
01:18Bama Kino helped strengthen the opening of jobs in the localities.
01:23Congressman Bonifacio Bosita laid protection for toda and motorists.
01:28Senator Pia Cayetano also gave proper local governance.
01:33In Bohol, Atty. Angelo de Alban helped raise the judgment fund.
01:38One of the Women's Month celebrations in the University of Antiques is Mody Floranda.
01:43He joined Mimi Doringo in advocating for the rights of women.
01:48Luke Espiritu is fighting for the end of contractualization.
01:53Congressman Rodante Marcoleta was formally adopted by the People's Reform Party.
01:58We continue to follow the campaign of running Senators in the election of 2025.
02:03This is the first news. James Agustin for Gemma Integrated News.
02:09The Commission on Elections is investigating if a vote was bought in a campaign rally in Hong Kong.
02:17As Chairman George Garcia said, the information is not yet credible in social media.
02:24According to this, someone gave 200 Hong Kong dollars or 1,400 pesos in a campaign.
02:32It is not yet determined which candidate or group was involved in the vote buying.
02:40Yes, we are communicating with our consulate in Hong Kong to get news about that.
02:48If there is someone who wants to complain and say that they were offered,
02:53it will be easier for us to investigate about that.
03:02Later this afternoon, the former President Rodrigo Duterte is expected to return to the Philippines from Hong Kong.
03:08According to his former spokesperson, Atty. Harry Roque,
03:11if the International Criminal Court or ICC will issue an arrest warrant against the former president,
03:17Malacanang will talk to his supporters.
03:21Here's the first news from Ivan Mayrima.
03:25Justice Department man, PNP, or Malacanang,
03:31no communication has been received about the arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court
03:36against the former President Rodrigo Duterte.
03:38The ICC prosecutor said that they did not comment on the ongoing investigations,
03:44so they did not comment on the reports about the arrest warrant.
03:47The ICC prosecutor is investigating the crimes committed by the criminals.
03:51From November 1, 2011 to March 16, 2019, in the context of the war on drugs,
03:57March 17, 2019, the Philippines is effectively arresting the ICC.
04:02But the Philippines is still a member of the Interpol.
04:04That's why the government said that it cannot just ignore the request of the Interpol.
04:10If the request for assistance in serving the warrant is to the Interpol,
04:16that's a different law, a different international covenant, a different treaty, the Interpol.
04:24We did not leave the country.
04:25If the ICC or Interpol has a communication, Palacio said,
04:29our law enforcement agencies are ready if they need to serve the warrant of arrest because of the request of Interpol.
04:40The government is also ready to stop any chaos that may arise
04:44by serving the warrant of arrest against the former President.
04:47Until now, Palacio has spoken to his supporters.
04:52We will stop the chaos.
04:54What we will do is to follow the law.
04:57I hope that the heads of other countries will not be hard-headed to stop this,
05:02just like what happened during the arrest of Pastor Iboloy.
05:08According to the DOJ, if there is a notice from the Interpol,
05:11it will be received by the National Central Bureau,
05:14formed by the PNP, Bureau of Immigration and NBI.
05:17All these requests will be evaluated.
05:20So we have to see that the Interpol request is a valid request.
05:25And that is the only time that it will be given due course.
05:27And on that basis, the agencies will act.
05:31For now, Palacio believes in what the former President said,
05:34that his visit to Hong Kong was just to visit the OFWs there,
05:39and not to escape the warrant.
05:43Because we are no longer members,
05:45they can go directly to the law enforcement agency.
05:49They can also go directly to a third-party country that is still a member of the ICC.
05:55So the options of the ICC are wide.
06:00This is the first news.
06:02Ivan Meirina for the GMA Integrated News.
06:05The warrant of arrest for the former President Rodrigo Duterte
06:08may be issued from the International Criminal Court, ICC.
06:12We will hear from Atty. Cristina Conti, ICC Assistant to Council.
06:16Good morning Atty.
06:18Good morning Igan.
06:20Why did the warrant of arrest for the former President appear?
06:26It's not confirmed yet Atty. Conti.
06:29Yes.
06:30Until now, there is still no confirmation or announcement from the ICC itself
06:35or from the Philippine government where they should have received the warrant.
06:40Yes.
06:41I think it appeared because he left the country.
06:45Usually, when a person is subject to a possible warrant of arrest,
06:50there will be a dispute.
06:53Secondly, we are waiting for the warrant of arrest since last year.
06:58Actually, I cannot say that it's fake news or quote-unquote.
07:04Because it's possible that it already exists and he knows.
07:09That's also part of our thinking now.
07:12Yes. But we can see that he went to Hong Kong not to run away,
07:18but to attend a political event.
07:21He himself said that he will be arrested.
07:27He did not announce his departure.
07:30So the point of his departure is that it's only Saturday.
07:34That's where the gossip and speculation will be.
07:38Yesterday, it was clear and last night, he was praying.
07:42I'm going to return. What are you doing?
07:45So where is the investigation of the ICC, Atty.?
07:50It's still an investigation.
07:53This stage is confidential or secret.
07:58It's like a care.
08:00It's not only the investigation, the information that they will get,
08:04but also those who are involved in the investigation.
08:08Because it's not a case yet.
08:10It's not really being investigated.
08:14What is being investigated now is who is guilty.
08:17So while we are not yet able to determine who is guilty,
08:21because in the ICC, their case is the most guilty,
08:26of course, they will be careful because there might be other incidents
08:30and there might be tampering with evidence.
08:34That's difficult.
08:36Or there might be threats from witnesses.
08:39So that's where the ICC is most afraid of.
08:43Let's just chill first.
08:45Until it's not yet announced that first, there is a warrant of arrest.
08:51Second, the warrant of arrest has already been issued.
08:53Third, the person has already been arrested.
08:56For us, there is nothing like that.
08:59It's already in the public.
09:00But I'm not saying that the warrant of arrest has already been issued.
09:05Okay. But the former president is dreaming.
09:08Can that happen this month, this year?
09:13We're also dreaming.
09:16To be honest, this can happen as soon as he goes there.
09:20Because the problem is, the ICC is asking for information.
09:28If he can go there and give the right information and not just lie or deny,
09:36we'll be in trouble.
09:38If he confesses there, how, where, who are the people involved,
09:43this will continue to be a smooth sailing.
09:46The problem is, even if he says,
09:48catch me,
09:50just like when he confessed that he was killed by seven people,
09:53what's his name, where, when,
09:55I can't give it to you because you might sue me.
09:58So in general, even if he says,
10:01catch me,
10:02he's not ready for the trial.
10:05He's not ready to be arrested.
10:08He just said that.
10:09And actions speak louder than words.
10:12Thank you very much, ICC Assistant to Counsel, Atty. Cristina Conte.
10:16Be careful.
10:17Thank you. Be careful.
10:20A Taiwanese passenger is complaining
10:23that an immigration officer's way of asking questions
10:27was offloaded at Ninoy Apt. International Airport.
10:30According to the Bureau of Immigration,
10:33the passenger was always the first in the news of Niko Wahe Exclusive.
10:42Brazil C is ready to travel to Taiwan for a three-day, two-night vacation.
10:47In his March 5 flight, he made a video at IA Terminal 3 due to excitement.
10:52His wife gave him a ticket to Taiwan.
10:55But the plan to unwind became stressful after being offloaded.
11:00When I arrived at the immigration booth,
11:03there were no more questions.
11:05I was immediately followed by an immigration officer in his office.
11:10I waited for a few minutes before they called my name.
11:16So I waited.
11:18When they called me,
11:19I immediately followed an immigration officer.
11:22He was asked here again that he did something wrong.
11:25I was surprised.
11:27How many times have you traveled?
11:30I said, this is the second time.
11:32He said to me, why are you going to Taiwan?
11:37I said, I will just unwind.
11:40I have a depression this past month because I was caught.
11:45I had a miscarriage before.
11:47He thought he had something to do with the first offload incident in October 2024.
11:52He was supposed to go to Hong Kong with his friends when they were offloaded by immigration.
11:58But his friends left Hong Kong in November 2024
12:03and went straight to Jeju Island in South Korea.
12:06On their way back, they took a connecting flight via Taiwan.
12:09What he didn't like were the questions that he thought were unnecessary.
12:14Like, do you have a child?
12:17Ask for your bank statement.
12:20Do you have a husband?
12:22What is your husband's job?
12:23When I told him that my husband is in the government,
12:26he suddenly asked, what is your husband's rank?
12:29Brazil has brought a trauma to the offloading.
12:33They even talked about the flight and hotel accommodations that cost up to Php 30,000.
12:40Even though I have proof that I can afford my travel expenses,
12:46I don't have the right to multi-city travel.
12:51According to the Bureau of Immigration,
12:53there is a poor travel pattern in Brazil.
12:56There are inconsistencies in his statements and documents that were shown.
13:02He also found suspicious travel patterns in the trips that were presented.
13:10The BIA said that it's not detailed because it's private,
13:13but it's common to see this in the itinerary of tourists.
13:17The itinerary of an individual is part of the things that we are looking into,
13:23as well as we saw this pattern in previous cases of human trafficking.
13:29If this travel pattern is on repeating, for example,
13:33or we saw this in an individual and this is repeated in previous cases of human trafficking victims,
13:42it becomes a red flag for the immigration officer who is assessing the traveler in front of him.
13:50The former record of Brazil's offloading has nothing to do with this.
13:54That's why this happened again.
13:56According to other questions, Brazil does not think that the BIA should investigate this.
14:02Hearing that, the position or rank of the partner would not be part of the regular questions of an immigration officer
14:14because it does not say anything about the travel.
14:17Will his flight and hotel expenses be reimbursed?
14:20If we can see that there are lapses in the actions of the immigration officer,
14:27it is well within the right of the subject to request what he can see that needs action against the officer or his case.
14:40Brazil could also complain to the Bureau of Immigration if he thinks that there's no reason for him to be offloaded.
14:47This is the first news, Niko Juage for GMA Integrated News.
14:52The Office for Transportation Security or OTS said that three of their personnel did something wrong.
14:59They obstructed and inspected the bag of a passenger.
15:03According to the OTS, if there's an irregularity, they should have checked the X-ray counter and not the boarding gate.
15:13If it passed the X-ray screening, it means that it is cleared.
15:18The Department of Transportation has passed the inspection protocol.
15:23The new company that is in charge of the IA is in charge of the investigation.
15:30As of now, the three persons were removed from their positions and placed in a floating status.
15:36In the defense of the three persons, they saw a bullet or gun in the luggage, but they're not sure who did it.
15:43In addition, the family is complaining that the passenger was obstructed by the professionalism of the OTS personnel who were there.
15:53The employees are laughing at the obstruction and the inspection.
16:00I thought he was pranking us because the way he delivered the message, there's no professionalism.
16:11I will remove the smirk on the faces of the unprofessional, abusive and arrogant OTS personnel.
16:25There's no need to obstruct or harass our passengers.
16:35We will continue our discussion.
16:37We have with us the Office for Transportation Security Administrator and the Secretary, Arthur Bisnar.
16:44Good morning Mr. Bisnar.
16:46Good morning Mr. Igran.
16:49What is the latest on the investigation of the three OTS personnel that were complained about?
16:55As of now, since Sunday when this issue happened, the initial investigation started.
17:07Yesterday, they were formally subjected for investigation, the actual investigation.
17:17Did the three OTS personnel say why they were not flagged or detected on their first visit to the X-ray machine?
17:26As you mentioned, there's something wrong with the X-ray machine.
17:30Yes. They admitted that there was a delay in determining the X-ray operator.
17:41They found a shell casing, not actual ammunition.
17:49Okay. Where were the three OTS personnel?
17:53Were they there in the X-ray machine?
17:56They just said that they saw it.
18:00Will the OTS be ordered to identify them?
18:04Yes. In the screening area, our X-ray machine is there.
18:11Usually, there are five to seven personnel per machine, per checkpoint, security checkpoint.
18:22At that time, they have their own duties plus they have a supervisor.
18:28They are there. There are five of them.
18:32Who will be ordered to check the bag of this passenger?
18:38When the X-ray operator determined that there's a prohibited item in the bag,
18:50he will be the one to flag and say that a manual inspection is needed.
18:58How far is the X-ray machine from the boarding gate?
19:02I didn't get the actual distance, but I don't know.
19:16What you're complaining about is, why did it reach the boarding gate?
19:21It should have reached the screening area where you're saying that the passenger was identified.
19:27Yes. That's right.
19:29That's where I have a problem because their detection and flagging is delayed.
19:42It's a case of mistaken identity.
19:47Yes.
19:48Because upon review of the CCTV, they are not...
19:52Yes.
19:53They are not...
19:55The passenger who was flagged said that the X-ray picture was not matched with the contents of the bag.
20:01So it means that there's something else, but there's a bas-tube inserted.
20:08Yes. They were not detected.
20:12They were not pinpointed who the metal is.
20:16But upon review of the CCTV, we found that...
20:21We are trying to identify them.
20:24Actually, they are majoriatrics, senior citizens.
20:29Okay. But I'm avoiding to call it planting bullets.
20:35Can you consider this as a mistake like the previous incidents in Paliparan?
20:43No. In fairness to all involved, OTS personnel.
20:51I don't think they have the intention to plant bullets or plant evidence on the complainant.
21:03Yes. So Usec, what are the changes that you will recommend in the inspection protocol to avoid this?
21:14First, let me take this opportunity to say that on behalf of OTS,
21:24I am asking for a dispensary to investigate the...
21:34Victims?
21:35The passengers involved.
21:38Yes.
21:40Second, in order for us to have a good secretary, other than the investigation,
21:51there needs to be institutional changes.
21:55This is in the form of policy review and revision, including training.
22:05There needs to be sensitivity training.
22:09Yesterday, after we had a press conference with the secretary,
22:15I needed the terminal chiefs all over the country.
22:22I told them what happened and what are the expectations,
22:29especially those who are not following the rules.
22:35This is a simple smirk or laugh.
22:43It's a big insult because it depends on the situation.
22:53A simple facial contortion has a different meaning for people like Ma'am Ruth Adel and Kai.
23:10Okay. Thank you very much Office for Transportation Secretary-Administrator Undersecretary Arthur Bisnar. Be careful.
23:18Thank you very much, Egan.
