00:02 Live from the GMA Network Center,

00:05 20 years of learning, 24 hours.

00:09 [music]

00:12 Good evening, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.

00:16 More than 100 persons deprived of liberty

00:20 are not able to hide their happiness after being released today.

00:23 And in their release, they are ready for a new journey in their lives.

00:29 Marisol Abdurrahman is here to talk about it.

00:31 [music]

00:33 I want a new life.

00:38 I want to be able to help others.

00:41 78-year-old Father Bert was also deprived of his freedom after 25 years.

00:49 He did not expect that this day would come.

00:52 Father Bert's story, "Ni Minsan,"

00:54 His wife was not able to leave the prison.

00:57 It is very rare for his children to go abroad.

01:00 It is not a joke to spend money from Rojas City to Capiz to go to the Philippines.

01:05 The money I spent on the massage,

01:08 I spent it on my children.

01:12 Now that he is free, he still has no one to turn to in his family.

01:16 But he is excited to start a new life and return to fishing.

01:20 I really want to do that.

01:22 It is rare for me to get sick because I am at the sea.

01:26 [music]

01:28 It was a great feeling to see his children again.

01:32 They were freed from their family prison after 24 years.

01:37 It is not easy to explain.

01:41 We did not expect that he would be released today.

01:45 We only found out yesterday.

01:47 The former photographer, 74-year-old Father Dan,

01:50 was not a real name.

01:52 But he was not able to return because of his age.

01:55 So he decided to try another way of earning money.

01:58 I will raise cows or pigs.

02:02 Because you can get help.

02:05 [music]

02:07 Bert and Dan were released on May 25,

02:12 after serving their sentences.

02:15 But one of them is very sad because he has a miss inside.

02:20 We are with the Sputnik Brotherhood in our loyalty, respect and dignity.

02:27 This 17-year-old man was sentenced with a promise.

02:32 Promise.

02:33 I promise.

02:34 Not anymore.

02:35 I will not return here.

02:37 The Bureau of Corrections is happy with the release of the PDLs.

02:41 They will continue to guide the Bureau of Corrections in their new life.

02:45 We want you to be back to society.

02:48 We want you to be a fruitful part of the society.

02:52 Productive and not being underprivileged by our society.

03:00 We want you to be prepared for your second chance in life.

03:05 Life in prison is not a joke.

03:08 And after a long time in prison,

03:11 they are ready to face a new life full of hope.

03:16 For GMA Integrated News, Marisol Abduraman,

03:20 for Tuto 24 Hours.

03:23 Good news, Kapuso.

03:25 There is a big time rollback in the price of oil in the coming weeks.

03:31 Up to 2 pesos and 25 centimos is the possible price of gasoline per liter.

03:36 Up to 85 centimos for diesel.

03:39 And up to 1 peso per liter is the expected rollback for kerosene.

03:43 According to the Department of Energy, Oil Industry Management Bureau,

03:47 based on the data of the 4-day trading.

03:49 At the end of 2024 Balikatan Exercises,

03:56 the Defense Department announced that the military will be more widely trained next year.

04:03 This includes the Actual Combat Simulation that the President himself is waiting for.

04:08 And Chino Gaston was also involved.

04:11 The successful targeting and hitting of new AFP missiles,

04:17 joint sail of Philippine Navy warships with the US, France and other allies in the Palawan Sea,

04:24 and other joint military exercises of US and Philippine soldiers and arms in the 2024 Balikatan Exercises.

04:38 All of these will show the readiness of the two countries to face any threat.

04:45 The next Balikatan, an Actual Combat Simulation is expected to be launched,

04:50 like the attack of an enemy in the Philippines

04:53 and the targeting of the US and Philippine forces.

04:58 President Marcos is already waiting for this, according to Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr.

05:06 He looks forward to next year's exercise, which will be the, I believe, the full battle simulation,

05:15 which will put to the test the combined capabilities in the most realistic of scenarios possible, with safety in mind.

05:29 I believe that next year's exercise will be more complex,

05:36 and I was told that starting this afternoon, they will already start the planning process for next year's Balikatan exercise.

05:45 The leaders of the Philippines and America have something to say about this.

05:50 I think it's safe to say that we'll look to improve and continue the great momentum.

05:55 We have an increasing lethality by sensing the battle space and employing long-range fires.

06:02 And I think we will also, as part of the full battle test,

06:06 we will look to increase our interoperability that's ready to go, time now,

06:11 and ready to handle any adversary that is foolish enough to challenge our shores or our democratic way of life.

06:18 The full battle test would mean a more demanding exercise.

06:24 The challenges as the exercise will be more elevated.

06:29 It would require a better force integration.

06:33 Yesterday, Teodoro said that the Chinese embassy officials should be allowed to leave the country

06:39 if they recorded a phone conversation between the AFP Westcom commander and a Chinese diplomat last January.

06:48 National Security Advisor Eduardo Año Jr. called on the Department of Foreign Affairs to punish and punish the Chinese embassy

06:58 for the suspicious transcript of the phone recordings.

07:02 He made it clear that the Chinese embassy's purpose is to destroy and destroy the Filipinos.

07:08 He said that this is a violation not only of the Philippine law but also of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.

07:15 For GMA Integrated News, Chino Gaston has the story for 24 hours.

07:20 The strip and cavity search in New Belived Prison was suspended

07:25 following the complaint that the body search was not carried out in their area.

07:30 But if the Bucor clarifies, the security check will remain tight.

07:35 Marisol Abduraman has the story.

07:41 From today, Bureau of Corrections Director General Gregorio Catapang Jr. suspended the strip and cavity search

07:48 in the corridors of the prisoners in New Believed Prison.

07:51 The order was issued following the complaint of some prisoners' wives

07:55 that the body search was not carried out in the corridors.

07:59 According to the memo issued this afternoon,

08:02 Catapang said that it should be stopped while the review of the procedure of Bucor in the strip and cavity inspection is being carried out.

08:09 The simulation that they will do is included in this,

08:12 including the Commission on Human Rights or CHR.

08:15 We want to simulate again what happened.

08:18 Based on that, the CHR with their presence can make a comment that this is wrong.

08:25 They are welcome to make any observation and assessment of the CHR to them.

08:31 The complaint of some wives is also being investigated.

08:34 I was not there, you were not there.

08:39 What happened, they should file a sworn statement that this is what they did.

08:47 Some of the prisoners of Bucor were relieved.

08:49 Relieved because they will have to be investigated and then of course we want to see the protocol.

08:56 Catapang clarified that their security check is really a part of the strip search,

09:00 especially since they have been caught in the process of posting the contraband.

09:05 Catapang said that there are no full body scanners in the Bilibid.

09:10 We have been caught 30 times in the process of posting the contraband starting last year and up to March.

09:19 The highlight is, you will believe it or not, there is tobacco, cell phone, charger and hearing aid.

09:28 But Catapang said that the strip search should be no touch.

09:32 Bucor said that even if the strip and cavity search is stopped, their security check will still be tight.

09:39 For GMA Integrated News, Marisol Abduraman, 24 Hours.

09:46 For several months, his family members have not been able to contact an OFW in Saudi Arabia.

09:53 It was said that his boss was jealous of his wife.

09:58 Paul Hernandez of GMA Regional TV, Balitang Saudan Tagalog.

10:01 November 14, 2023, a message was sent to his family.

10:10 The 38-year-old domestic helper in Damam, Saudi Arabia, Divina Yap,

10:14 asked for help because of the danger that he will be left there.

10:18 Divina told that his boss was jealous of her.

10:22 My brother said that he was jealous because he was given a rectangular meal.

10:28 It was not passed to his wife because her husband is still sleeping.

10:31 When it arrived, the woman was angry.

10:33 Since then, they have not heard from Divina and she has not been contacted.

10:39 The last they heard was that her boss took her to Mecca.

10:43 The woman will be on vacation for two weeks.

10:46 After two weeks, they will return to Damam.

10:48 I am just loading 200 weekly so that she can message us via text.

10:53 Even if it's just a text message, we will be happy.

10:55 Divina's mother did not expect that the desire to give a good life to her family will be a problem.

11:01 My son is sick. He is a good boy. He is hardworking and kind.

11:07 I am thinking that he is not going to the right way.

11:10 My son is like a stone. I just hope that he will be taken to the right way.

11:15 They contacted Divina's agency but they did not give any information.

11:20 They know that we are angry and they are answering our texts.

11:23 They are asking us to file a case and they are not letting us go.

11:26 We asked Divina's agency to issue a statement but they are not answering our texts and calls.

11:31 Divina's family also called the Department of Migrant Workers or DMW.

11:36 We also asked the DMW to issue a statement regarding this case.

11:40 For GMA Integrated News, Paul Hernandez of GMA Regional TV, Balitang Southern Tagalog,

11:46 "Nakatutok 24 Horas."

11:49 Are you looking for a place to stay to make the remaining days of the summer more worthwhile but you don't want to leave?

12:03 You can still experience the summer fun in the province just a few hours away from Metro Manila.

12:10 Let's go to Batangas and our tour guide, Paul Hernandez of GMA Regional TV, Balitang Southern Tagalog.

12:17 Thinking of a quick getaway or overnight stay?

12:30 Maybe you should sign this to explore the province down south of Metro Manila.

12:35 From the once-famous Little Rome of the Philippines and one of the progressive villages in Batangas,

12:44 we are now in Lipas City.

12:46 Our first stop here is the so-called Netherlands of the Philippines,

12:52 the world-class The Old Grove Farmstead that can be found in Barangay Lodlod.

12:57 And with just a 2-hour drive away from Metro Manila, you can enjoy the various amenities here.

13:03 The day trip starts at P750 with breakfast and unli photo-op in a 500-hectare leisure farm that used to grow fruits and vegetables.

13:15 Very romantic in their barn house, the windmill and man-made lake will make you feel one with nature.

13:26 The cafe and Old Grove Village will make you feel like you're in another country.

13:30 You can also do banding with cute, cute ducks.

13:36 And to keep the fun running, who else is more fun to be with in this fun?

13:40 It's the runners of Running Man Philippines Season 2!

13:53 With us are Buboy Villar, Lexie Gonzalez, Kokoy De Santos and Angel Guardian.

13:59 After the taping, we're now in the sun. How's the experience so far?

14:09 In feeding the sheep?

14:11 Actually, it was -20 in Korea.

14:14 22 actually.

14:15 Okay.

14:16 We just defrosted it.

14:18 Just kidding, just kidding.

14:19 As in, it's good because it's sweet.

14:21 Season 2.

14:22 In Season 1, we just met each other.

14:24 This one, our bonding has grown.

14:26 We have our own changes for the season.

14:29 We have character development.

14:30 Yes, we have our own character development.

14:33 It's fun to watch.

14:35 The weather is different, it's cold.

14:37 The visuals are different.

14:38 People will watch.

14:40 1, 2, 3, let's go Running Man!

14:49 And just like the challenges that our runners faced and explored in different places in South Korea,

14:55 we're not yet done with our walk.

14:57 Join us as we continue our Batangas Expedition.

15:01 From the deep seas,

15:04 underwater expedition,

15:08 or free diving,

15:09 all of that is here.

15:11 Aside from the beautiful and delicious Batangas,

15:17 the Batangas are also gentle,

15:19 even though we call ourselves barako.

15:21 That's the number one contributor why we have repeat tourists.

15:24 One of the Villa Tortuga that is considered a century old house,

15:32 built in 1800,

15:34 owned by the Gahol family in the Philippines by Garciel Leonor,

15:38 now a costume rental studio.

15:41 There's an experiential tour here in Villa Tortuga.

15:44 There are costumes that visitors can wear to feel the return to the past.

15:50 Just like this.

15:52 When it comes to food,

16:00 hunger is not a problem in Amayn.

16:03 You name it, Batangas has it.

16:05 The legit and authentic Lomi Lapot,

16:08 you can only find it in Batangas.

16:10 The toppings here are not cheap.

16:12 Loaded if loaded.

16:14 The Kapeng Barako here is a battle of deliciousness and spiciness.

16:18 They even make a different version.

16:20 Here's Kapeng Barako with mango syrup and basil.

16:25 Can you still sleep in the Kapeng Barako smoothie with ice cream?

16:29 And the ever savory soup with Batangas,

16:33 even more saucy.

16:34 Oh my, it's so delicious.

16:37 [music]

16:43 So let's go here in the province of Matitigas.

16:46 Let's go here in Batangas.

16:48 Paul Hernandez for 24 hours of summer fun in the province.

16:53 The Department of Foreign Affairs has tightened the visa requirement

16:58 of Chinese nationals who are entering the Philippines.

17:00 The reason for the tightening is Sandra Aguinaldo's speech.

17:04 [music]

17:07 Chinese who are entering the Philippines as tourists

17:11 and are illegal workers in the country.

17:14 And Chinese who are working for illegal POGO

17:18 or Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators

17:20 and sometimes, they are even fighting with Chinese people.

17:24 They are the ones who can be affected by Chinese who are entering the country.

17:28 Now, the Department of Foreign Affairs has tightened

17:31 their visa requirements to go to the Philippines.

17:34 The Philippines will now ask for a Social Insurance Certificate

17:38 as proof of their identity.

17:41 A requirement that was not asked for before.

17:44 The most important thing, the addition is you have to show your Social Insurance Certificate.

17:50 It's like our SSS.

17:52 It's a more sure way to verify the identity of the applicant.

17:55 The reason for the tightening is

17:57 we will pass a fake statement, fake employer certificate.

18:02 It's hard to verify because it's written in Chinese.

18:05 We have also some local hired people, Chinese speaking,

18:11 but still, a lot of them applied.

18:14 The request for the Social Insurance Certificate is also being done by other embassies in China.

18:20 The tightening of the visa requirement was done

18:23 and it's still hot between China and the Philippines in the West Philippine Sea.

18:28 But through the DFA, there is no connection to the issue of the new visa policy.

18:33 According to the Department of Tourism,

18:35 from January to May 10 this year,

18:38 China is the third country with the most tourists who came to the country,

18:42 which is more than 150,000.

18:45 In total, in 2023,

18:47 China is the fifth country with the most tourists who came to the Philippines, which is more than 263,000.

18:54 The DFA clarified that the Chinese tourists who can pass the requirements are still welcome in the Philippines.

19:01 We are encouraging quality tourists to come to the Philippines.

19:07 We're not shutting them off.

19:08 In fact, these measures are also mutual protection.

19:11 Basically, those who are coming in using fake documents or where they're here,

19:17 they are extending or they just don't have TNT.

19:21 The DFA and other government agencies, such as the Bureau of Immigration,

19:26 will also help to protect Chinese tourists who are in the Philippines but want to stay here longer.

19:32 The duration of staying abroad in the Philippines depends on the type of visa.

19:38 What has been more convenient is that you just convert your tourist visa when you get here.

19:44 But of course, BI and all the other agencies are now being more careful and more strict.

19:50 For GMA Integrated News, Sandra Aguinaldo is on TUTOK 24 Horas.

20:05 A boat that doesn't need a crew?

20:08 It's cheaper and more environment-friendly.

20:11 That's the first Filipino-made solar-assisted electric boat.

20:15 Come on, let's change the game and try the Ceci E-Boat.

20:19 [Music]

20:37 Mga Kapuso, the heat is on!

20:43 But no matter how hot it is now, the sun's brightness will still be affected by solar energy.

20:49 And that's what will make this E-Boat work.

20:52 This is the first Filipino-designed and made electric boat,

20:56 named as Safe, Efficient, and Sustainable Solar-Assisted Plug-in Electric Boat,

21:02 or Ceci E-Boat for short.

21:04 Developed by engineers from Mapua University, headed by engineer Phibos Cruz.

21:10 We want to create a boat with zero emission,

21:13 to have it powered by battery and 100% electric motor.

21:18 The project is co-funded by DOST and the Department of Energy.

21:24 There are a lot of efforts on the modernization of the land.

21:27 There's E-Jeep, E-Bus, E-Trike.

21:30 Then they want also to carry over that momentum to the maritime.

21:35 Of course, we will try that in Kenya.

21:38 So, Sir will be the first to drive our E-Boat.

21:41 We're in the middle of the sea, but we still can't feel that there's someone driving us.

21:49 The Ceci E-Boat is really quiet.

21:52 It's so quiet, it's like it's just swimming.

21:55 We selected the motor with the highest efficiency,

21:58 as well as our battery.

22:00 It charges quickly, while it's long-lasting.

22:04 Aside from being fully electric, or it can be charged up to 220V,

22:08 it's also solar-assisted.

22:10 This Ceci or our E-Boat can run for 2-4 hours.

22:15 We got that from regular chargings.

22:18 But if we're in the sun, and we have a constant source of solar energy,

22:23 the running of the Ceci project is one-to-one.

22:28 If the sun's level is good, it won't use the battery.

22:31 It will automatically switch solar panels.

22:34 There's also a tracking and monitoring instrument to avoid accidents.

22:38 And since it uses renewable energy,

22:41 the operation cost is cheaper, which is only 25% compared to using fuel.

22:46 Right now, the Ceci E-Boat is a tourist boat.

22:50 So, we can transport tourists from one island to another island.

22:54 But the core technology, which is the electric boat system,

22:58 can also be used for inland ferries, mass transportation,

23:03 and eventually, it can also be used as fishing vessels.

23:07 That's what we envision.

23:10 My fellow Filipinos, not only cars, but also E-Boats,

23:17 there's a new version here in the Philippines, which is sustainable and cost-efficient.

23:21 For GMA Integrated News, I'm Martin Avier,

23:24 Changing the Game!

23:27 President Bongbong Marcos said that he did not receive any information

23:32 that a member of the PNP was involved in the Umonoy destabilization plot against his administration.

23:38 He also called the former PDEA intelligence officer who was involved in illegal drugs a liar.

23:45 And GMA Regional TV 1 Mindanao's Justinie Humamil was also involved.

23:53 During President Bongbong Marcos' visit to General Santos City,

23:57 he was asked about the Umonoy destabilization plot against his administration.

24:02 He said that there were retired and active members of the PNP

24:06 who were recruiting to get Marcos removed from his position.

24:09 According to the President, he did not receive any information that a police officer was involved in this.

24:15 We do not have any retired members, but we do have some active members.

24:25 But in our police force, we do not see any police officers who are involved in this.

24:36 His message to the PNP and armed forces.

24:39 Even if you do not vote for me, just vote for me and be a professional and do your job properly.

24:46 That is what I would like to say to the police and all the other forces.

24:50 He also called the former PDEA intelligence officer Jonathan Morales a liar

24:55 who was involved with the President in illegal drugs.

24:58 You know what, he's a professional liar. He's like a jukebox.

25:07 As long as you have money, you can sing any song you want.

25:12 But I will not give you money. Just look at his level.

25:16 The President is in General Santos City to share the aid to the affected people of El Niño.

25:22 Around 10,000 farmers and fishermen received 5 kilos of rice and 10,000 pesos of financial assistance.

25:29 The President also shared the aid to Isulan Sultan Kudarat.

25:33 The President earned over 50 million pesos in checks for farmers and fishermen in Sultan Kudarat

25:40 and 50 million pesos in the province of North Cotabato.

25:44 Aside from this, the Department of Social Welfare and Development Region 12 also received 100 million pesos for the 10,000 beneficiaries in the province.

25:54 They received 30,000 pesos under the Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situation or AX and 5 kilos of rice.

26:02 From JME Regional TV 1 Mindanao and JME Integrated News, I am Tony Humamil.

26:08 Nakatuto 24 Horas.

26:11 [music]

26:15 The cyber-libel complaint was filed by Sharon Coneta and Kiko Pangilinan against showbiz columnist and host, Christy Fermin.

26:24 The effects of the statements of Fermin against their family is already bad.

26:29 Here is the report of Nelson Canlas.

26:31 [music]

26:34 Even my children have suffered and they are feeling bad.

26:39 We've been off social media partly because of this.

26:43 This is the statement of Sharon Coneta while she was crying after she filed.

26:49 Even her husband, former Senator Francis Pangilinan, complained about the cyber-libel against columnist and host, Christy Fermin.

26:58 The statements of Fermin against his online show and columnist have already been destroyed.

27:10 Yes, we are public figures but we also have rights.

27:13 Because many people say that if you are a public figure, you should be able to tolerate lies and destruction.

27:21 But that's not the case. In fact, we also have private rights.

27:26 Especially when the matter is not of public interest.

27:30 Meaning it's a personal issue, personal family matters and concerns.

27:36 Megastar is still angry.

27:38 She feels bad for filing a complaint against her friend.

27:44 I reached out to her and for a while, I actually was very... I had so much affection for her.

27:52 Because I feel that we are old. I was looking only for good points in people.

27:58 And then after a while, suddenly I was shocked because it's not much of a question.

28:04 It's like you were judged and not asked.

28:07 It's annoying. There's so much unfairness also. People only see the surface.

28:13 Sharon added that she endured a painful, malicious and outrageous statement that came out within four decades.

28:23 But when she saw that her loved ones were being hurt, she decided to file a complaint.

28:30 I took care of my name for 46 years.

28:34 My parents were good to me.

28:38 And most of all, my three children said that I was a good mother.

28:43 So it hurts me. It's so painful.

28:47 Fermin responded to her YouTube show, "Christy per Minute" earlier.

28:52 Don't shoot the messenger.

28:58 And she understands where the complaint comes from.

29:02 But she can't respond to the complaint because her copy hasn't arrived yet.

31:39 A woman who returned to the Philippines from Dubai is complaining

31:43 that customs is blocking her due to the two smartphones that she saw in her luggage.

31:48 The Bureau of Customs said that the passengers did not declare their cellphones

31:53 that should be allowed to be used by the breeze.

31:55 Jun Veneracion is on the scene.

31:57 A angry passenger at Clark International Airport

32:03 can see the people of the Bureau of Customs confronting her.

32:07 They are blocking your luggage.

32:09 What do you call this?

32:12 They are holding you.

32:13 The passenger said that she was blocked by the customs because she brought her cellphones in a carry-on luggage.

32:20 That phone was re-boxed.

32:24 It was secondhand, reformatted and re-boxed.

32:28 But after the confrontation, she was allowed to leave and bring her belongings.

32:33 If you know that you're right, you should fight.

32:37 She will talk to the officials of the customs at Clark.

32:40 She explained.

32:41 She said that's P100,000.

32:44 The limit is P10,000.

32:48 I said that I will just send this.

32:50 She said that it's prohibited to send because I'm the one who signed.

32:56 I said that this iPhone is not P100,000.

32:59 This is just an iPhone 12 and I bought this online.

33:07 I borrowed the one who sent it using my credit card.

33:13 I bought it.

33:15 What happened?

33:17 She posted it on social media and it went viral.

33:20 In the incident report of Port of Clark, a source gave it to us.

33:24 The passenger arrived at Clark International Airport on May 3.

33:27 There were cellphones in the carrier's luggage.

33:31 That's why an examination was needed.

33:33 The passenger was angry with the customs personnel when he was asked to check his carrier's luggage.

33:39 When he looked at his customs baggage declaration form,

33:42 he said no to the question if he brought a cellphone or other gadgets.

33:48 He said he brought only his personal belongings.

33:50 An official of the customs said,

33:52 "It means that if a passenger and a new carrier bring a cellphone,

33:57 they need to declare it.

33:59 It does not include the number of the cellphone they are using."

34:01 In the official statement of the Bureau of Customs, Port of Clark,

34:04 the passenger was told to declare the so-called items

34:08 that are considered as durable goods in the customs declaration form.

34:12 He was not allowed to declare it against the law

34:16 and may be fined for fraud and other crimes.

34:20 Under the customs' regulations,

34:22 OFWs have a privilege to enter products and goods tax-free

34:28 as long as it does not exceed P150,000.

34:32 But in the case of the type of traveler,

34:35 the declaration of the passenger who is complaining is resident and not OFW.

34:40 When the incident went viral,

34:42 OVC's Worker's Welfare Administration Chief, Arnel Ignacio,

34:47 informed the officials of Port of Clark of the customs.

34:50 Customs officers handed over the details of the incident to him.

34:54 "When I declared myself as an OFW,

34:57 I was told that the P150,000 will be handed over to you."
