00:02 was shocked by the arrest of a congressman
00:04 who was a diploma mill of Chinese students,
00:06 Ang Lunsod.
00:08 He said that the arrest was just a political act
00:10 that put the Chinese in danger
00:12 and that it was against the economy of the city.
00:16 Benji Durango has a live report from Cagayan.
00:20 Benji, good morning.
00:27 Audrey, the Mayor of Tuguegarao City,
00:30 was shocked by the arrest of a congressman
00:32 who was a diploma mill of Chinese students,
00:34 Ang Lunsod.
00:36 He said that the arrest was just a political act
00:38 that put the Chinese in danger
00:40 and that it was against the economy of the city.
00:42 Let's shout,
00:45 "Yow e Tuguegarao!"
00:47 "Yow e Tuguegarao!"
00:50 This is Tuguegarao.
00:52 Mayor Myla Tinke shouted in her send-off ceremony
00:56 to more than 600 Tuguegarao players
00:59 to Isabela for a 7-day competition.
01:02 The Mayor's request was not to be delayed
01:05 no matter what the battle is.
01:07 I know that Tuguegarao players,
01:10 our students,
01:13 our athletes
01:15 can show their talent,
01:20 skill and strength.
01:22 Tuguegarao is going through a difficult time
01:24 amidst the controversy.
01:26 Their city is a diploma mill
01:28 and it is the center of education of Region 2.
01:30 It was based on the accusation of
01:32 3rd District Representative Jojo Lara
01:34 that Tuguegarao is neglecting
01:36 the alarming increase of Chinese students.
01:39 Also included in the arrest of the congressman
01:41 was the purchase of a diploma mill
01:43 worth 2 million pesos.
01:45 Will you allow them to do that to us?
01:49 No!
01:51 The Mayor first asked for the arrest
01:53 but the city's economy was affected.
01:55 It could affect the food, medical and education tourism
01:59 that the city is currently earning.
02:02 Finally, here's your chance.
02:04 You're fixing it.
02:06 You're fixing the system that you want to fix.
02:10 One student, one foreign student
02:13 gives good reviews for a university in Tuguegarao
02:17 and Tuguegarao city itself.
02:19 That's a mess.
02:21 It's a mess.
02:23 Four private universities are being expanded in Tuguegarao.
02:26 Because of the poor quality of education,
02:28 foreign students are being criticized.
02:30 Let's not be hypocrites.
02:32 They bring in dollars.
02:34 They can't just enter the Philippines
02:38 and they bring in pesos.
02:41 Because of the wrong way,
02:42 the Chinese community was put in danger.
02:45 But the city is preventing foreigners
02:48 from following politics.
02:50 Politics, politics, politics.
02:53 WPS is politics.
02:55 Here, the resolution that was filed was political.
03:00 Directly, it's all political.
03:04 The Mayor is ready to face all the investigation.
03:07 They are also preparing the document
03:09 about their study of the Chinese influx in Tuguegarao.
03:13 While waiting for the call of the Congress,
03:15 they are also preparing
03:17 the filing of economic sabotage
03:20 and libel for the people behind
03:22 spreading false accusations.
03:25 The whole world is in chaos in Tuguegarao.
03:27 And not only that,
03:29 the province is also in chaos,
03:33 the whole Philippines is in chaos.
03:36 They are also talking to each other
03:44 to not let the city's livelihood
03:48 be affected by their own interests.
03:51 Audrey?
03:52 Benji, if this will have a negative effect
03:57 on Tuguegarao City
03:58 and the Chinese community in the area,
04:01 does the Mayor have a plan of legal action?
04:05 In our interview yesterday with the Mayor
04:13 of Tuguegarao City,
04:15 he said that they are preparing
04:17 the filing of economic sabotage
04:20 for the people and for the netizens and bloggers
04:25 who reposted such false news on social media.
04:30 They will prepare the case
04:32 for the next time.
04:35 Audrey?
04:36 Thank you very much, Benji Durango.
