00:00 [Music]
00:13 Good morning. We are here with the first news of GMA Integrated News.
00:17 Aside from the court in Davao, the passing of the Regional Trial Court against Pastor Apollo Q. Buloy and five others has been issued a warrant of arrest.
00:26 This is for the case of Qualified Human Trafficking. This is connected to the abuse of a minor in 2011.
00:33 The six accused were also arrested by the Davao Regional Trial Court for the cases of child abuse and sexual abuse.
00:41 The five accused of Q. Buloy have already confessed last week and pleaded guilty.
00:47 Authorities have not yet found Q. Buloy, who is being searched in four places where he owns, in Davao City and Samal Island.
00:54 Aside from the cases in Davao and Pasig, the Senate has condemned Pastor Apollo Q. Buloy.
00:59 He repeatedly did not testify in the hearings regarding the abuse of members of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.
01:07 According to the PNP, they are still looking for Q. Buloy.
01:12 Q. Buloy is also wanted in the United States for the following cases, including sex trafficking, fraud and coercion, and bulk cash smuggling.
01:20 GMA Integrated News is also looking for a new statement from Q. Buloy that he was denied accusations.
01:27 A Takoyaki business owner is likely to be held accountable after a scripted babo-king that went viral on April Fool's Day.
01:36 This is part of the marketing stunt from the beginning to the end.
01:41 If he admits that it's a marketing gimmick, it shows that he's really promotional in that sense.
01:49 If they don't have a DTI permit, they can be held accountable for the violation of conducting a promotion without securing a DTI sales promo permit.
02:04 I first brought to light the April Fool's prank when someone took part in a challenge to have the Takoyaki business logo tattooed on their chest in exchange for P100,000.
02:14 But it was later discovered that the man who tattooed the logo was a real thug.
02:18 The business owner, Karl Kion, also admitted that the prank was planned as a promotion.
02:23 Some also talked to Jessica Soho, who said that the man had a tattoo before posting the April Fool's prank.
02:31 DTI said that all business promos require a permit from the company.
02:36 However, even though the Takoyaki business applied for a permit, it was not approved because the mechanics of the promo is questionable.
02:44 We talked to the GM and you can see Kion on the phone. He has no comment on the statements of DTI.
02:50 The guy who not guilty plea, the man who was charged with illegal detention and human trafficking,
02:58 was first in the famous Omanoy Scam Hub in Bamban, Tarlac.
03:03 The vaults in the Pogo Hub will be opened.
03:08 Here's the first news, Salima Refran.
03:10 The authorities are opening 16 more vaults in the famous Omanoy Scam Hub in Bamban, Tarlac.
03:22 In one vault, a pair of nipples and a retractable stick were found.
03:28 It was unexpected, but we saw nipples, sticks and in Pogo.
03:34 Maybe they were being punished for not meeting their quotas.
03:40 Our victims, Malaysians and Vietnamese, were being punished.
03:45 They were being stabbed, sometimes they were beaten, verbally abused. All kinds of abuse are here.
03:52 Seed phrases and passcodes for digital and cryptocurrency wallets were also found where nipples were hiding their money.
04:02 The company's operational fund of 2.3 million pesos in cash was also recovered,
04:08 including cellphones, flash drives and other documents.
04:13 These include vehicle registrations, immigration and Dolly IDs.
04:18 The gadgets will be under digital forensics while the IDs of foreigners will be sent to the verification of various agencies.
04:26 But there are two more vaults that will not be opened because the break-open order of the court is not included.
04:33 These are the ones found in Omanoy Scam Farm, next to the compound,
04:37 where hundreds of cellphones, gadgets, computers and SIM cards were also found that are used in various scams.
04:45 Meanwhile, the eight-faceted charge of illegal detention and human trafficking was read out by the Serkapa's Regional Trial Court.
04:54 Five Chinese and two Vietnamese accused were not guilty while the Malaysian general manager motioned to return his case to the prosecutor
05:04 for a preliminary investigation.
05:07 The PISCALIA also filed complaints to the Philippines that Pogo's middle manager is Omanoy.
05:13 What will happen is that there will be a pre-trial and then we will go to the trial. So, that's where the evidence will be presented during the trial.
05:24 Based on the testimonial evidence of the victims, it's already strong.
05:28 Second, since we entered here and we got the evidence that we returned to the warrants,
05:33 we believe that we will be charged more here in the regular filing.
05:39 The compound was raided in March after the allegations of illegal detention and trafficking of several Pogo workers.
05:45 The case buildup for the alleged complaints against the real owner of Zunyuan Technology and its agents continues.
05:54 This is the first news. Sanne Marafran for JMA Integrated News.
05:59 Former President Rodrigo Duterte has a lead in the so-called gentleman's agreement of Chinese President Xi Jinping.
06:07 Former President Pastora Polo Q. Buloy was also arrested for several cases such as child abuse and qualified human trafficking.
06:15 This is the first news. Argyle Relator for JMA Visual TV One Mindanao.
06:21 Let me be very clear on this. We have not conceded anything to China.
06:31 There might have been exchange of control over the Chinese, China Sea.
06:40 But those were really territorial in nature, not involving the encroachment of China in our exclusive economic zone.
07:02 This is the first news. Former President Rodrigo Duterte has a lead in the so-called gentleman's agreement of Chinese President Xi Jinping.
07:11 Aside from the fact of having a handshake with President Xi Jinping, the only thing I remember was my status.
07:25 That's the word. No movement, no armed patrols there as is where is.
07:40 So that there is no chaos. We will not be in chaos.
07:44 I assure you that if it was a gentleman's agreement, it would always have been an agreement that would keep the peace in the South China Sea.
08:01 Former President Duterte will study and review the documents of Malacanang regarding foreign policy and agreements under his administration.
08:13 Former President Duterte has a challenge to President Bongbong Marcos.
08:17 If Anyo is there, he was my national security advisor. He is your advisor Bongbong. Ask him if there is a gentleman's agreement.
08:33 Former President Duterte and Chinese President Xi Jinping called the gentleman's agreement.
08:43 Former President Duterte and Chinese President Xi Jinping will discuss the agreement.
08:49 I am horrified by the idea that we have compromised through a secret agreement the territory, the sovereignty and the sovereign rights of the Philippines.
09:00 Wherever you look, there is no record. So it was done in secret. Why did they do it? If they will do it, why did they do it in secret?
09:09 Meanwhile, the former president has a request to his friend, the founder of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ, Apollo Q. Buloy, who is being pursued by the authorities for cases related to child abuse and non-compliance with the Senate's hearing.
09:26 As a lawyer, I would say that you can go to court and fix your case and post a bail bond. That would be an option.
09:41 But if you do not think that you will get a fair deal with this administration, because you have been talking about marcos and everything, don't go out there to Tamayong.
10:02 He's just there in Tamayong.
10:04 This is the first news. RG Relator of GMA Regional TV 1 in Danau for GMA Integrated News.
10:12 Tamayong Prayer Mountain is one of the places in Davao City that the authorities went to but they did not see Q Buloy.
10:21 President Marcos promised that the case of Q Buloy will be held fairly.
10:26 According to the Humanoid Gentlemen's Agreement, National Security Advisor Eduardo Año and the Interior Secretary Duterte said that no document will prove the alleged consensus.
10:37 Sparkle artist Cassie Legaspi clarified the real score by showing it to its Showtime host, Daryl Espanto.
10:51 It's so hard to explain what we have but we are best friends.
10:59 Daryl also said that they are just best friends.
11:05 Cassie also clarified that she does not listen to Carmina Villaruel in her posts.
11:12 She said that she really likes to post songs depending on her mood.
11:16 She said that she posts Bible verses and quotes.
11:21 From back to back vacation in South Korea and Japan with her family, Cassie is now back in the Philippines.
11:27 Together with several Sparkle stars, they attended the advance screening of the movie "A Journey" to support Paolo Contes.
11:40 Acknowledged Humanoid Gentlemen's Agreement of former President Rodrigo Duterte and Chinese President Xi Jinping,
11:46 we will now hear from retired Supreme Court Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio.
11:51 Good morning Justice Carpio.
11:53 Good morning A.G. Good morning to our listeners.
11:57 Yes.
11:58 Former President Duterte did everything he did when he was president to maintain peace in the South China Sea.
12:06 Justice, what is your assessment of his statement?
12:09 His agreement, so-called Gentlemen's Agreement, we are against it.
12:17 He agreed that we will send water and food to Sierra Madre.
12:24 There will be no construction material, no repair material.
12:28 If that happens, Sierra Madre will sink because it is already flooded.
12:35 It needs constant repair.
12:37 If it sinks, we will no longer have presence.
12:41 We will no longer have outposts.
12:43 China will enter and the Chinese fishermen will go there.
12:48 The corals will be destroyed.
12:50 It will be a disaster because the corals will be destroyed.
12:53 They will get the giant clams under the corals.
12:58 So we will be gone.
13:00 We will be destroyed.
13:02 He entered into the Gentlemen's Agreement that the Arbitral Award has already been issued.
13:08 The Arbitral Award said that the current inshore is ours.
13:12 That's part of our exclusive economic zone.
13:15 We are the only ones who can build a structure there.
13:18 We are the only ones who can get the natural resources.
13:21 We are the only ones who can get the natural resources like fish, oil and gas.
13:27 So we are under the same roof.
13:30 But before this, the premise of Secretary Harry Roque is to maintain peace.
13:37 That's why we are being bombed and harassed because we violated the Gentlemen's Agreement.
13:45 Is this not enough to pass to the current administration?
13:49 Is this not enough?
13:51 The Gentlemen's Agreement is currently...
13:54 In 2002, there was a Declaration of Conduct by the ASEAN and China.
14:01 It stated that do not occupy unoccupied features.
14:08 In other words, if you have an outpost, you can stay there and maintain, repair your outpost.
14:16 But you cannot occupy unoccupied features.
14:21 We were there in 1999 before the Declaration of Conduct.
14:27 Under the Declaration of Conduct, we have a right to be there.
14:31 Because it is included in the agreement.
14:34 Now, two weeks after Duterte assumed office in 2016, the Arbitral Award was issued.
14:43 It was stated in the Arbitral Award that the inshore is part of the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines.
14:51 If it's our exclusive economic zone, we can only put a structure.
14:55 So there are two legal documents that state that we can only put a structure there.
15:02 So why did he give us the stronghold?
15:06 Because if you say you won't repair it, you will lose your outpost.
15:10 But in the Declaration of Conduct, it's stated that if you occupy it, as of 2002, you can continue, even repair it to maintain your presence.
15:21 So we are against national interest.
15:26 The former President Duterte asked you Justice,
15:30 will the Philippines be able to do something if the Chinese will build a naval base inside our exclusive economic zone?
15:38 We can do something.
15:40 First of all, we will bring them to the UNCLOS Tribunal because that's prohibited.
15:45 Second, we will patrol that area with the US, with the allied countries like Japan, Australia, France, UK.
15:58 They are willing. They will allow us to patrol that area.
16:02 Even if we patrol, how can the Chinese build their naval base?
16:08 He also said that Duterte said that the Philippines should assert its right to the West Philippine Sea
16:14 because you didn't become president and you're not facing China.
16:21 Your reaction?
16:22 Well, our president, the one we called China, President Noy Noy Aquino, he fought and brought him to the UNCLOS.
16:31 Duterte said we should not fight because we will be massacred.
16:36 If you have that mentality, you will not win.
16:39 If you surrender right away, the first thing you will say is let's back off, you will not win.
16:46 Yes. In the Gentleman's Agreement, you mentioned that the former President Duterte gave us our rights and we are slaves.
16:57 Can he be sued, Justice?
17:00 Well, unfortunately, he's not in his position now. He's not a government official because he's impeachable.
17:08 Culpable violation of the Constitution. He's not president anymore. He can't be impeached.
17:13 If you're an ordinary government official, you are guilty of disloyalty to the Republic, the penalty is dismissal from public service.
17:26 He's not in public service anymore. That's why I agree with what the Senate is doing now,
17:32 to have a legislative inquiry to make a law that if you do that during peacetime, you can be imprisoned.
17:46 Because now, the crime of treason can be committed only during wartime.
17:53 Not wartime, but peacetime, there's no treason. So there is a gap in the law.
17:58 This gap needs to be bridged so that people like Duterte will not do that because it's against national interest.
18:09 Yes. Are these trilateral talks between the three countries that are operating in America,
18:15 will it help to protect our exclusive economic zone, Justice?
18:21 It's big because when there's a joint patrol, one of the activities of the trilateral entity is to have a joint patrol.
18:32 Not just the three, but the other countries will be included.
18:37 Now, when you have a joint patrol with our EEZ in the West Philippine Sea, you're telling China,
18:43 this is not your waters because China said that their territorial waters are within the nine-dash line.
18:52 Now it's ten-dash line. When you patrol there, you're telling China that your territorial waters are not true.
19:00 So that is the strongest assertion, enforcement of the arbitral award.
19:06 If there's a joint patrol with other countries, China cannot do anything and they cannot enforce it.
19:15 If it's their territorial waters, there will be no naval drills there.
19:20 Yes. President Duterte said that he's doing these things to maintain peace.
19:26 With what's happening now, the tension in the West Philippine Sea,
19:30 will this be a hindrance to the war if we continue activities in our territory?
19:35 You know, when you're occupying the territory of other countries, you cannot not fight.
19:44 Because when they seize your territory, that is a declaration of war.
19:53 So you should fight. If you don't fight, you'll be wiped out. You'll be erased from the world.
19:57 You'll be erased from the map.
20:00 If you don't fight, you'll be erased from the map. You'll be a slave of China.
20:05 He wants us to be a province of China. That's why he doesn't want to fight.
20:10 Who would want that? Who would want us to be a colony of China?
20:17 Thank you very much retired Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio. Be careful.
20:23 Thank you. Good morning to you.
20:26 Former President Rodrigo Duterte has a lead in the so-called gentleman's agreement of Chinese President Xi Jinping.
20:33 Former President Pastora Polo Q. Buloy was also arrested for several cases, such as child abuse and qualified human trafficking.
20:42 First news, Argyle Relator of GMA Regional TV, Juan Mindanao.

20:59 There might have been exchange of control over the Chinese China Sea, but those were really territorial in nature.
21:20 Not involving the encroachment of China in our exclusive economic zone.
21:29 That's the clarification of former President Rodrigo Duterte on the issue of gentleman's agreement of Chinese President Xi Jinping.
21:38 Aside from the fact of having a handshake with President Xi Jinping, the only thing I remember was that status quo.
21:52 That's the word. No movement, no armed patrols there as is, where is.
22:06 So that there is no chaos. We will not be in chaos.
22:11 I assure you that if it was a gentleman's agreement, it would always have been an agreement that would keep the peace in the South China Sea.
22:28 The former President will study and review the former documents of Malacanang on foreign policy and agreements under his administration.
22:40 Former President Bongbong Marcos has a challenge.
22:44 Even if Anio is there, he was my National Security Advisor.
22:51 He is your advisor Bongbong. Ask him if there is a gentleman's agreement.
23:00 Former President Rodrigo Duterte and Chinese President Xi Jinping called the gentleman's agreement.
23:10 Former President Bongbong Marcos will talk to Chinese Ambassador Wang Shilian.
23:16 I am horrified by the idea that we have compromised through a secret agreement the territory, the sovereignty and the sovereign rights of the Philippines.
23:27 Even if he looks at it, there is no record. So it was done in secret. Why did they do it?
23:33 If they will do it, why did they do it in secret?
23:36 Meanwhile, the former President has an agreement with his friend, the Kingdom of Jesus Christ founder, Apollo Q. Buloy,
23:44 who is continuously being searched by the authorities because of the cases of child abuse and non-compliance with the Senate's hearings.
23:53 As a lawyer, I would say that you can go to court and fix your case and post a bail bond.
24:05 That would be an option.
24:08 But if you do not think that you will get a fair deal with this administration, because you have been talking about Marcos and everything,
24:24 don't go out there to Tamayong. It's just there in Tamayong.
24:30 Here is the first news. RG Relator of GMA Regional TV, Juan Mindanao for GMA Integrated News.
24:39 Tamayong Prayer Mountain is located in Davao City, where the authorities went but they did not find Q. Buloy.
24:48 President Marcos first promised that the cases of Q. Buloy will be held fairly.
24:53 According to the Humanoid Gentlemen's Agreement, National Security Advisor Eduardo Año and Interior Secretary Duterte said that
25:00 no document will prove the alleged consensus.
25:04 And on nationwide, Tigil Pasada, on Monday and Tuesday, Rufus Piston and Manibela, we will talk live.
25:10 Manibela Chairman Mar Balbuena. Good morning.
25:13 Good morning sir Ivan and good morning to all the viewers.
25:18 Kamar, what is our plan for the two days of transport strike? What are we fighting for?
25:24 What we want sir Ivan is for our President to hear what he said the other days and to make it up.
25:33 It's not a weakness if he will make it up because for the good of the drivers and operators,
25:42 especially those who are hoping for cheap public transport.
25:49 What is the particular thing that he said? At least on the issue, he said that there is no extension. Is that what you want to make up?
25:56 That is what we really want to make up for our President because that statement is very heavy.
26:02 What is this? Do you want to make up for it? Do you want an extension or to stop the modernization program?
26:08 We want to get back our five years validity of our franchises.
26:14 We will follow the modernization program but except for the two, consolidation and getting the expensive modern units from China.
26:25 Basically Kamar, what you are saying is that you are okay with modernization but on your terms, not the terms of the government.
26:33 We can meet halfway and I will repeat that we have modernized.
26:39 Filipino products, Filipino products, Filipino workers that we can really expand to the whole world.
26:46 That is where it really started.
26:48 Unfortunately, it has been a long time since we talked about this. Back and forth.
26:53 You mentioned earlier that it is off-air. This deadline has already reached 8 extensions.
27:00 What else can happen? It seems like the government will not give it.
27:08 This is a weakness of the government if the people do not listen, Sir Ivan.
27:14 We believe that we can still extend through the protests that we will hold.
27:21 We will show that we are not afraid, we will not bully them.
27:26 We saw the reaction of the President. He is laughing that we will lose our livelihood, our franchises will be recovered.
27:34 We should not see this in a President, in a father of the country.
27:38 When May 1 comes, Kamar, please describe the scenario.
27:45 You will still be passing, but the government said that you will be considered as callow rooms.
27:51 So you will be caught.
27:53 We are saying that we will travel and we will travel when May 1 comes.
27:58 If they will catch us, Sir Ivan, so be it.
28:01 So, it seems like we are deadlocked here.
28:06 Kamar, no one can stop your strike.
28:11 What can you say? Here we are again, transport strike.
28:16 There are commuters who will be arrested.
28:18 To our dear listeners, we are asking for your understanding.
28:27 You are also with us in our struggle.
28:31 You are not the ones who are burdened by the high price of these units.
28:37 We will get it from you.
28:39 But we will do it when the prices of the passengers will increase.
28:43 We will ask for high passengers and when the day comes, no one will ride with us because of the high prices.
28:50 And to our government, I hope you will have a heart for our small and poor drivers and operators,
28:59 to the people of the country, I hope these traditional jeepneys will not be lost.
29:05 They can still choose a cheap vehicle.
29:07 Let's just do a heads up, what routes will be affected?
29:10 The government always says that there are only two groups,
29:13 there are only a few, they cannot paralyze, we will deploy free vehicles, etc.
29:18 Sir Ivan, the government will never admit that there is a mistake or that they lost.
29:26 Of course, they will always say that there is no effect,
29:30 but we have proven that there is a big effect.
29:35 Within a year, we were extended four times.
29:38 So, no one is reaching out from the LPFRB, DOTR to have a discussion to stop the stoppage of the road?
29:46 For now, no one, Sir Ivan.
29:48 We hope that the people of the country, the Senado, and the Congress will sympathize
29:56 so that the end of our franchise, the deadline that we are facing, can be stopped.
30:04 Be advised, our fellow commuters, there will be a stoppage on Monday and Tuesday.
30:10 Thank you very much, Manibela Chairman Mar Balbuena.
30:13 Thank you.
30:14 And according to the statement of Mar Balbuena,
30:16 we are trying to get a share of the DOTR, LPFRB, and Malacanang.

32:06 Iloilo is so beautiful, so if you're a tourist, come here.
32:12 Come here to Iloilo, even if it's just our first time.
32:16 The Iloilo Museum should not be left out of the list of tourists
32:20 to discover the rich culture of the Panay Island.
32:24 First time I came here, I feel very safe and quiet city in the Philippines.
32:31 Yeah, so I'm very happy to stay in here.
32:35 One of the things that tourists come back for is the food like Pancit Molo and Batshoi.

33:15 Even though the Jeepney driver is consolidated,
33:19 he will be arrested for the two-day nationwide transport strike on Monday and Tuesday.
33:23 Live from Manila, we will talk to Jomer Apresto.
33:27 Jomer, why will they be arrested?
33:29 Ivan, I'm here in the part of Juan Luna Divisoria.
33:37 There are many Jeepney drivers here who are thinking if they will be included in the stoppage on Monday.
33:43 On Monday, April 15, the group Pistón and Manibela stopped.
33:53 This is a protest in the near deadline of the franchise consolidation on April 30, 2024.
34:00 But there are many Jeepney drivers who are thinking if they will be included in the transport strike.
34:05 They are still thinking.
34:07 The driver, Amador, said that the trip will continue on Monday.
34:11 Our drivers, for example, our operators, the owners of the vehicle,
34:17 told us that they will stop. But if they don't tell us, we will not stop.
34:23 Francisco will be included in the strike even though his Jeepney is consolidated.
34:27 Yes. We will be included in the strike.
34:30 We are still drivers and we are not together.
34:35 I need to know how to be included in such things.
34:37 Richard will also be included in the strike if necessary because his job is important to him.
34:43 This is where we live, in the Jeep.
34:45 If the Jeep will be gone, our families will be poor and hungry.
34:51 We are just hoping to get food for our families and for education.
34:55 The Piston and Manibela said that up to 100,000 people will be included in the two-day strike.
35:01 Around 30,000 of them are drivers in Metro Manila.
35:05 According to the LTFRB, 77 percent of the drivers are consolidated in the country and more than 52 percent are in Metro Manila.
35:14 The LTFRB is ready to provide free ride during the time when there are no passengers because of the two-day strike.
35:21 The Piston and Manibela also insisted that even after the deadline,
35:25 they will still travel on the first day of May and only the Congress will be able to recover their franchise.
35:32 Meanwhile, Ivan, even though the opinion of the Jeep drivers we talked to is still divided,
35:42 the strike will continue on the coming Monday.
35:45 That is the latest from Manila. I'm Jomer Apresto for GMA Integrated News.

37:13 And if tensions in the West Philippine Sea continue to rise, Biden said...
37:17 As I said before, any attack on Philippine aircraft, vessels or armed forces in the South China Sea
37:26 would involve our mutual defense treaty.
37:30 Finally, I'm proud of the man who launched the next step towards peace.

38:17 It means more jobs for people across the entire region.
38:21 It means more investment.
38:23 The sector is critical to our future, clean energy, forests, railroads, agriculture and much more.
38:31 According to President Marcos, this is just the beginning of a deeper partnership that has a common goal.
38:42 A dedication to a common purpose and an unwavering commitment to the rules-based international approach.

38:59 We seek to identify ways of growing our economies and making them more resilient,
39:04 climate-proofing our cities and our societies,
39:08 sustaining our development progress and forging a peaceful world for the next generation.
39:15 Today's summit is an opportunity to define the future that we want and how we intend to achieve it together.
39:40 Today's meeting will make history as an occasion that significantly pushed forward such initiative.
39:48 Japan, the U.S. and the Philippines are maritime nations connected by the Pacific Ocean and our natural partners.
39:58 We share fundamental values and principles and have supported regional economic development.
40:07 In order to secure peace and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific,
40:11 I hope to reaffirm our intention to further strengthen trilateral cooperation
40:17 and to present the specific way forward through today's meeting.

41:40 if there are no passengers.
41:42 There are other vehicles that were stopped but were not stopped

42:15 Sir, we are not allowed to pass through here.
42:17 We are just following the rules.
42:19 We don't need to go to the hospital right away.
42:24 But you know that it is prohibited because you don't have a patient.
42:29 Yes, sir.
42:30 Sir, I don't know if it is prohibited.
