00:50 looking for them
00:52 like website and pecking sellers
00:54 [whoosh]
00:56 In the holiday season,
00:58 different types of models
01:00 are now spreading
01:02 especially in the public places
01:04 Be careful with your valuables
01:06 and be alert
01:08 How ready are the authorities
01:10 to avoid the victimization
01:12 of the Bunga Budol, scammers
01:14 and other syndicates?
01:16 [car horn]
01:18 [whoosh]
01:20 [car horn]
01:24 In closed-circuit television
01:26 or CCTV footage
01:28 captured inside a store
01:30 in Bislig, Surigao del Sur
01:32 [whoosh]
01:34 You can see the movement of the stalls
01:36 and the falling of the shelves
01:38 when the magnitude 7.4 earthquake
01:40 hit some parts of Mindanao
01:42 [whoosh]
01:44 [whoosh]
01:46 [screaming]
01:48 [screaming]
01:50 The guests of a hotel
01:52 in Tagun City, Davao del Norte
01:54 [screaming]
01:56 Some of them hid
01:58 under the table
02:00 [screaming]
02:02 while others
02:04 were unable to avoid the impact
02:06 [screaming]
02:08 [screaming]
02:10 A few days later,
02:12 the magnitude 5.9 earthquake
02:14 hit a large part of Luzon
02:16 [screaming]
02:18 [screaming]
02:20 [screaming]
02:22 [screaming]
02:24 Some places
02:26 above the active fault in Luzon
02:28 [screaming]
02:30 can see
02:32 the bad effects of
02:34 the earthquake in the past years
02:36 [screaming]
02:38 [screaming]
02:40 [screaming]
02:42 He advised us to leave
02:44 because the earthquake will hit us
02:46 and the other side will rise
02:48 Will the earthquake
02:50 affect the country?
02:52 [screaming]
02:54 Is the government's
02:56 response team ready
02:58 in case the big one
03:00 happens?
03:02 [screaming]
03:04 [explosion]
03:06 [explosion]
03:08 [music]
03:10 [music]
03:12 Daching, Salise,
03:14 Budol-Budol, and Banga Modus
03:16 are among the only
03:18 crimes that, according to the PNP,
03:20 double when Christmas is near
03:22 But according to the police,
03:24 the modus of the suspects
03:26 is different, just like
03:28 this snatching incident
03:30 that happened in Binondo, Manila
03:32 last November
03:34 [music]
03:36 [music]
03:38 In closed-circuit television or CCTV
03:40 that was captured on November 2
03:42 in Binondo
03:44 the couple
03:46 were walking around
03:48 buying groceries
03:50 A man was also in the video
03:52 hiding in a post
03:54 next to another man riding a motorcycle
03:56 Later on,
03:58 two men followed
04:00 the couple
04:02 and immediately
04:04 the woman's car
04:06 was robbed
04:08 The snatcher quickly
04:10 ran to the motorcycle
04:12 If you can see here,
04:14 they were already waiting
04:16 They already spotted the big pin
04:18 This was their getaway
04:20 Tempo
04:22 They suddenly arrived
04:24 and they were
04:26 escorted to Binondo
04:28 The suspects quickly
04:30 escaped
04:32 But the motorcycle
04:34 was stolen
04:36 from the vehicles in a road
04:38 This is where the suspects
04:40 escaped to the corresponding villages
04:42 They ran here
04:44 and they were chased
04:46 There was also a rider
04:48 The rider was the one shouting
04:50 "Snatcher! Snatcher!"
04:52 We caught him immediately
04:54 We called the police
04:56 According to
04:58 May 6 Police Station 1
05:00 the snatcher's pin contained
05:02 P19,000
05:04 The problem is, because the money
05:06 was stolen, the couple
05:08 was not able to get back their money
05:10 When he got the pouch, he saw that it was complete
05:12 He was not interested
05:14 to file a complaint
05:16 to the suspects
05:18 So even if caught on camera,
05:20 when the two suspects were robbed,
05:22 they were immediately released
05:24 First of all, in the inquest,
05:26 the complainant needs to be released
05:28 so that the complainant can file a complaint
05:30 to the suspects
05:32 If there is no complainant,
05:34 we lose the holdings to the suspects
05:36 We need to release them, even if they don't want to
05:38 In the PNP's investigation,
05:42 the last suspects were
05:44 known as "Snatchers in the Valley"
05:46 And it turns out that
05:48 they were also facing other cases
05:50 Actually,
05:52 one of the warrant was issued
05:54 by one of our suspects
05:56 One of them was a robbery
05:58 The one in Hablot was really involved in a robbery
06:00 in Santa Cruz
06:02 The other one was the driver
06:04 in the 9165 case in Drags
06:06 They were also released
06:08 from other cases after being bailed
06:10 These are the cases of robbery
06:16 and even the modus
06:18 that the PNP is strictly monitoring
06:20 this Christmas season
06:22 We are with the patrol of May 6 Police Station 1
06:26 This is important
06:28 to avoid crime
06:30 Especially, Christmas is coming
06:32 and many people are buying
06:34 in Binondo Y O'Ban
06:35 They went to an establishment
06:39 that sells gintos
06:41 We are with the police of May 6 Police Station
06:46 that is always on alert
06:48 Be careful with your valuables
06:50 and be alert
06:54 and avoid
06:56 any clashes
06:58 Actually, when the vermans entered,
07:00 we are already doubling our efforts
07:02 Police visibility, police presence
07:04 and all anti-criminality programs
07:06 of May 6 Police Station
07:08 We are really doubling our efforts
07:10 But not only the people who can choose
07:12 are the victims of different kinds of modus
07:14 because those who are in the middle
07:16 of the road
07:18 are also targeted by the vermans
07:20 Many incidents of robberies
07:22 have been recorded
07:24 but this incident is different
07:26 because here,
07:28 not only one suspect is involved
07:30 but there are also other suspects
07:32 It's good that
07:34 the 360 camera caught this
07:36 On December 2,
07:38 while Andrew Ong was being followed
07:40 by a rider
07:42 the length of the road in Manila
07:44 an old man saw
07:46 the road crossing
07:48 so he immediately
07:50 stopped the old man
07:52 But later on,
07:54 when Andrew's motorcycle passed
07:56 suddenly the old man
07:58 fell down
08:00 This is the old man
08:02 who suddenly fell down
08:04 even though I tried to stop him
08:06 he still fell down
08:08 then I just
08:10 pressed the brake button
08:12 on the right side
08:14 so I can avoid him
08:16 But when we reviewed the video
08:18 when I suddenly
08:20 turned to him
08:22 that's when I saw him
08:24 he was lying down
08:26 even though I didn't see him
08:28 But he was very surprised
08:32 when the group of men
08:34 came and surrounded him
08:36 I'm filming
08:38 I'm filming
08:40 You will notice
08:42 that they are coming out
08:44 one by one
08:46 there's one
08:48 who stopped
08:50 suddenly there's a lot
08:52 of them here
08:54 I have a camera
08:56 When Andrew's men
09:00 surrounded him, the old man
09:02 immediately stood up
09:04 We were gathered here
09:06 at that time
09:08 The bad thing is
09:10 I have a cellphone here
09:12 I think there's nothing here
09:14 I'm sure there's someone
09:18 who will put it here
09:20 According to the Manila Police District
09:22 or MPD
09:24 it's possible that the men
09:26 are operating in a mode
09:28 called "Bangga Budol"
09:30 where for example
09:32 one person will be hit
09:34 then the victim will be dragged
09:38 and here
09:40 the victim will be shot and
09:42 the victim will be charged
09:44 The purpose is to pressure you
09:46 and give you money
09:48 The motorists
09:50 don't want to investigate
09:52 or to be involved
09:54 but on the spot
09:56 they will give
09:58 money to the
10:00 damages
10:02 they don't know that they are
10:04 being victimized by a scam
10:06 At that time, everyone was shouting
10:10 I didn't hear it in my video
10:12 but I'm sure
10:14 if you can see the situation there
10:16 they are really shouting
10:18 They want me to admit
10:20 that I hit a person
10:22 then they will approach
10:26 the victim
10:28 It's good that the camera
10:32 captured the whole incident
10:34 to prove that Andrew didn't hit the old man
10:36 The tension stopped at that time
10:40 when Andrew said
10:42 that he will post the video on social media
10:44 I will post it
10:46 At that time,
10:48 I didn't have a plan to help them
10:50 because we also saw
10:52 that there was a
10:54 hit person
10:56 then the rider helped
10:58 then someone ran to their motorcycle
11:00 the motorcycle was already run
11:02 We went to the place of the incident
11:04 Are you familiar
11:06 with the father?
11:08 He used to walk
11:10 but I didn't see him
11:12 We also found
11:14 some tricycle drivers
11:16 who responded to the old man
11:18 but they explained
11:20 that they don't know the old man
11:22 who was in the rider's video
11:26 We thought that the old man
11:28 will help
11:30 but we didn't know him
11:32 he suddenly disappeared
11:34 It's bad that it happened
11:36 If it really happened,
11:38 no one can do anything
11:40 After the video went viral
11:42 on social media,
11:44 their trip was affected
11:46 because they were in the wrong mode
11:48 According to the PNP,
11:50 they are now watching the place
11:52 so that no one will be victimized
11:54 In 2022,
11:56 the Philippine National Police
11:58 or PNP reported
12:00 36,806 cases of
12:02 Christmas-related crimes
12:04 including robbery, theft,
12:06 and money laundering
12:08 to the public
12:10 But the crimes
12:12 can't just happen on the streets
12:14 because the crimes
12:16 are also online
12:18 This burger shop in Santa Rosa, Laguna
12:20 was victimized by a fake order
12:22 and was scammed for P13,000
12:24 The modus
12:26 is that the scammer will order
12:28 from the page and pretend
12:30 that the scammer is from another country
12:32 For example,
12:34 he will order food for his family
12:36 to send to the Philippines
12:38 and when they send a payment link
12:40 of a money transfer company,
12:42 they will tell the victim
12:44 to send a one-time password
12:46 or OTP
12:48 This is where they get
12:50 the contents of his mobile wallet
12:52 of P13,000
12:54 Authorities warn,
12:56 don't just give the OTP
12:58 to anyone
13:00 OTP or one-time password
13:02 is our second layer of protection
13:04 Even if the robber knows
13:06 our password,
13:08 if the OTP is still hidden
13:10 we still protect our OTP
13:12 We don't just give it to anyone
13:14 We are protected
13:16 So if someone asks for OTP
13:18 even if they are a bank
13:20 or they say they are a bank
13:22 don't give them the OTP
13:24 Just last week,
13:26 the Department of Information
13:28 and Communications Technology
13:30 or DICT
13:32 issued 12 Scams of Christmas
13:34 or scams that are happening
13:36 this holiday season
13:38 These include fake shopping websites,
13:40 fake online sellers,
13:42 fake Christmas gift card scams
13:44 and more
13:46 In a study published by
13:48 Asia Scam Report 2023,
13:50 the Philippines is the first
13:52 in the highest shopping rate scam
13:54 in 11 countries in Asia
13:56 So DICT reminds
13:58 to be careful
14:00 if the price of products
14:02 or services are too low
14:04 It's a red flag if
14:06 the person is asking for money
14:08 Maybe not only for legit
14:10 shopping applications
14:12 to secure the transaction
14:14 In this season,
14:20 the robbers
14:22 and thieves
14:24 Aside from protecting the public,
14:28 it's also important to increase
14:30 the police visibility
14:32 to prevent the spread
14:34 of any crime
14:36 Be careful with your valuables
14:38 and be alert
14:40 I am Dune Venalacion
14:42 and this is Reporters No More
14:56 In 2019, the first to be recognized
14:58 by Reporters Notebook was Lloyda Texon
15:00 who lives in San Francisco,
15:02 Binan City, Laguna
15:04 You can see the cracks
15:08 in their house
15:10 that came out after a strong thunderstorm
15:12 After 4 years,
15:18 we brought her back
15:20 [Music]
15:22 The cracks in the house got bigger
15:28 It was strong
15:30 and it fell
15:32 Then we tried to fix it
15:34 but it fell again
15:36 That's what happened
15:38 This one is slowly falling
15:40 Now, the floor is falling
15:46 even on the back of Lloyda's house
15:48 [Music]
15:50 Even though the other part of the house is broken,
15:52 the cracks are slowly appearing
15:54 The floor is falling
15:58 All of the cracks are falling
16:00 Even the wall
16:02 is falling
16:04 The cracks are also there
16:06 The curtains and seat covers
16:10 are the only thing that Lloyda's family
16:12 can afford
16:14 In 2015,
16:16 she became a customer
16:18 of the Philippine Institute of Volcanology
16:20 and Seismology of PHIVOLCS
16:22 She noticed it
16:24 and asked why the wall is like that
16:26 This is when Lloyda found out
16:28 that their house is above
16:30 an active fault
16:32 She advised us to leave
16:34 Our house will sink
16:38 while the other house will rise
16:40 After Lloyda's house was removed,
16:42 the cracks were visible
16:44 This part of the road is also visible
16:46 Binan City and Barangay San Francisco
16:52 are part of the West Valley Fault System
16:54 It is one of the two major
16:56 active fault segments
16:58 of Marikina Valley Fault
17:00 It is 100 kilometers long
17:02 and it flows through Metro Manila
17:04 and the provinces of
17:06 Bulacan, Rizal, Cavite, and Laguna
17:08 The other parts of the road
17:12 are located in the subdivision
17:14 where Lloyda lives
17:16 affected by the fault
17:18 Some houses were also
17:20 damaged and abandoned
17:22 One day,
17:24 someone lived here
17:26 They are a family
17:28 It's not like that yet
17:30 Sometime in 2015,
17:32 they saw that there was a crack
17:34 in the kitchen
17:36 They abandoned it
17:38 until it became like that
17:40 If we could have them
17:42 enter that house,
17:44 there would be a lot of cracks
17:46 They can't live there anymore
17:48 The barangay also distributed
17:50 tarpaulins with fault maps
17:52 and numbers that can be called
17:54 in case of an emergency
17:56 There is also an active fault marker
17:58 that was placed by the Binan City
18:00 Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office
18:02 The PHIVOLCS placed
18:04 instruments in the area
18:06 to know and measure
18:08 the movement of the land
18:10 Every 6 months,
18:12 they come here to check the land
18:14 They placed it here
18:16 because they saw that
18:18 the land is moving
18:20 Yesterday, December 5, 2023,
18:24 some parts of Luzon were hit
18:26 by a magnitude 5.9 earthquake
18:28 According to PHIVOLCS,
18:30 in the western part of Mindoro,
18:32 it became the center of the earthquake
18:36 The earthquake affected the land
18:38 in the nearby provinces
18:40 but it was also felt by Lloyda
18:42 in Laguna
18:44 We just went out and prayed
18:46 It's a miracle
18:48 They just saved us
18:50 The next year,
18:52 they plan to move their house
18:54 In Metro Manila,
18:58 the magnitude 5.9 earthquake
19:00 was also felt
19:04 The employees of an office
19:06 in Makati City
19:08 hurried to go out
19:10 to hear the alarm
19:12 in their house
19:14 before the earthquake hit Luzon
19:16 The residents of Mindanao
19:20 experienced the earthquake
19:22 first after the magnitude 7.4
19:24 earthquake hit
19:26 In this CCTV video
19:30 taken inside a store
19:32 in Bislig City, Surigao del Sur,
19:34 you can see the movement of the residents
19:38 who were followed by the fall
19:40 of some stores
19:42 I saw it
19:44 It was a big one
19:46 Some bottles of alcohol
19:48 fell on the floor
19:50 and were broken
19:52 The epicenter of the earthquake
19:54 was recorded in the basin
19:56 of Kinatuan, Surigao del Sur
20:00 It was 26 kilometers deep
20:02 It's described as destructive
20:04 Some houses were destroyed
20:06 and some
20:08 ceilings were destroyed
20:10 While this group was having fun
20:20 in a hotel in Tagon City, Davao del Norte
20:22 the table suddenly shook
20:28 and the drinks fell on their faces
20:30 Some guests of the hotel
20:34 hid under the table
20:36 while others were not able to avoid
20:42 the fear and horror
20:44 Glenn took a cellphone video
20:46 and uploaded it online
20:48 Glenn said this is one of the
20:50 most devastating earthquakes they have experienced
20:52 We couldn't hide
20:56 under the table
20:58 because there were broken glasses
21:00 on the floor
21:02 Hi guys
21:16 When the magnitude 7.4 earthquake happened
21:18 in their place
21:20 in Bislig, Surigao del Sur
21:22 was the resident Siligaya Villagas
21:24 In the middle of our happiness
21:26 he shook
21:28 and screamed
21:30 as if we don't know
21:32 where we are going
21:34 When we all went out
21:36 a pole broke in front of me
21:38 I went back
21:40 and when I turned back
21:42 another pole broke
21:44 so he blacked out
21:46 Siligaya was playing
21:48 his mother who was sick
21:50 and left in their house
21:52 I went there
21:54 and my mother was sleeping
21:56 at that time
21:58 In the pictures taken by Siligaya
22:00 you can see the broken glass
22:02 In this picture
22:04 you can see the big crack
22:06 in the village of Poblacion Bislig City
22:08 There is a wall that broke
22:10 while some parts of the school
22:12 were cracked and fell
22:14 in the village of Santa Maria
22:16 in Tagbina, Surigao del Sur
22:18 Inside the Siligaralan
22:20 some parts of the school were also cracked
22:22 while in another picture
22:24 the wall of the classroom
22:26 was completely broken
22:28 Three of our countrymen were infected
22:30 More than 180,000 families
22:32 were affected
22:34 During that time,
22:36 we placed many people in evacuation centers
22:38 The agricultural waste
22:40 was more than 110 million pesos
22:42 In the infrastructure,
22:44 the waste was also big
22:46 Almost 1 billion pesos
22:48 was the infrastructure
22:50 According to the PHEVOX,
22:52 there is no connection
22:54 between the earthquake in Luzon
22:56 and the earthquake in Mindanao
22:58 The generator of the Surigao earthquakes
23:00 would be the Philippine Trench
23:02 and the generator of the earthquake
23:04 that happened yesterday
23:06 was the Manila Trench
23:08 Despite their belief that
23:14 the big one is responsible for the earthquakes
23:16 this is not true
23:18 Especially, no one knows
23:24 when the next big earthquake
23:26 will happen
23:28 That's why the PHEVOX
23:30 reminded the public
23:32 that it is important to be prepared
23:34 to face the next earthquake
23:36 The training and drills
23:38 that the government gives
23:40 is to cooperate and join
23:42 especially those in the private sector
23:44 If you love your life,
23:46 save yourself first
23:48 Study where to go if there is an earthquake
23:50 There is no escape
24:00 But the earthquake
24:04 can be prepared
24:06 It is important to be alert
24:08 follow the advice of experts
24:12 and have the right knowledge
24:14 to avoid the big threat
24:16 of earthquakes
24:18 The government should also prepare
24:22 a response program
24:24 in case of an earthquake
