02:55 For GMA Integrated News,
03:03 Mark Salazar,
03:05 your witness.
03:07 The two MMDA members were arrested
03:11 by Senator Francis Tolentino
03:13 last night.
03:15 The illegal use of PNP markers
03:17 on their motorcycles is a fact.
03:19 Jun Veneracion is the witness.
03:21 [music]
03:23 The two motorcycles were blocked
03:27 and parked by the PNP Highway Patrol Group
03:29 in Paranaque City last night.
03:31 The two riders were escorted
03:33 by Senate Majority Leader Francis Tolentino.
03:35 He has no violation
03:37 and he is allowed to be escorted.
03:39 The motorcycles
03:41 in his convoy are also complete
03:43 in the blinker.
03:45 But the PNP-HPG has a record on these motorcycles.
03:47 Senator Tolentino
03:49 asked
03:51 if they can leave.
03:53 I said yes, sir.
03:55 Because we only use motorcycles
03:57 because of the police markings.
03:59 He is allowed to be escorted.
04:01 The riders were brought to the HPG office
04:03 in Camp Kramie.
04:05 When the HPG checked,
04:07 the two did not go sideline
04:09 or turn on the moonlight.
04:11 They are authorized to be escorted.
04:13 Are you a MMDA?
04:15 No.
04:17 Have you been escorted
04:19 by Senator Tolentino
04:21 for a long time?
04:23 Yes.
04:25 How long?
04:27 He was the chairman.
04:31 He used to serve as
04:33 MMDA chairman to Senator Tolentino.
04:35 In an interview,
04:37 he asked for permission from the public
04:39 to investigate the use of PNP stickers
04:41 on the two motorcycles
04:43 and the source of these.
04:45 He said
04:47 MMDA owns the motorcycles
04:49 and his office has nothing to do
04:51 with the stickers or markings.
04:53 He also supported the investigation.
04:55 He said he was removing
04:57 the stickers from the MMDA.
04:59 These are the motorcycles used
05:01 by the two MMDA riders
05:03 who were caught in the operation of PNP-HPG.
05:05 You can see here
05:07 that it has a police sticker.
05:09 It also has a sticker of the Senate of the Philippines.
05:11 Because of the police markings
05:13 on their motorcycles,
05:15 two MMDA riders were
05:17 hit by the complaint of
05:19 "Use of a Serial Authority"
05:21 and "Illegal Use of a Sign."
05:23 One of them defended
05:25 that he did not put a police sticker
05:27 on the motorcycle used by the MMDA.
05:29 Sir, the motorcycle is just a MR.
05:31 I took the motorcycle
05:35 as is, the appearance of the motorcycle.
05:37 Many people have passed through
05:39 that motorcycle.
05:41 We are just working there.
05:43 We did not do anything wrong.
05:45 We are just working.
05:47 The PNP chief ordered the
05:49 campaign against the
05:51 unauthorized giving of
05:53 motorcycle escort to be
05:55 strengthened in HPG.
05:57 The special team
05:59 from PNP, MMDA
06:01 and Department of Transportation
06:03 is also studying
06:05 the problem of
06:07 illegal use of motorcycle
06:09 escort to
06:11 get rid of traffic.
06:13 You will just go to EDSA
06:15 and you will see many people
06:17 who are escorting.
06:19 We thought they are highway patrol
06:21 and they are the ones who
06:23 are stealing vehicles.
06:25 That will be the concentration
06:27 of our operation.
06:29 According to MMDA,
06:31 they are already cooperating with HPG
06:33 and will also conduct
06:35 their own investigation.
06:37 For GMA Integrated News,
06:39 I am Jun Veneracion,
06:41 your witness.
06:43 The checkpoint in Davao City
06:47 has been found worth millions of pesos
06:49 of shabu.
06:51 It was thrown away by a man
06:53 under the mandatory inspection.
06:55 Our witness.
06:57 People who are under the
07:03 explosive order of Davao City Police
07:05 were under the mandatory inspection
07:07 of this box that was left
07:09 on Davao-Bucidnon Highway.
07:11 But when the box was opened,
07:13 the contents were not bomb
07:15 like what was thought.
07:17 But it was 900 grams of shabu
07:19 worth 14.4 million pesos.
07:21 Who was the owner of the box?
07:23 On Wednesday, a bus was stopped
07:25 at the checkpoint on the highway
07:27 in the old Davao City District.
07:29 Passengers were brought down
07:31 for the mandatory inspection
07:33 and then they were taken to Cagayan.
07:35 And then the passengers who were brought
07:37 to the checkpoint
07:39 were from the Bucidnon area.
07:41 According to the police,
07:43 the man ran behind the bus
07:45 and took out the box
07:47 from his belongings.
07:49 He was scared
07:51 that the box might be bomb.
07:53 The investigation of Davao City Police
07:55 will continue.
07:57 For GMA Integrated News,
07:59 I am John Consulta,
08:01 for GMA Integrated News,
08:03 I am John Consulta,
08:05 for GMA Integrated News.
08:07 [News Report]
08:29 [News Report]
08:31 [News Report]
08:33 [News Report]
08:35 was found dead in Quezon City.
08:36 Social media is the only means to get a transaction,
08:39 and the woman was taken by a motorcycle taxi.
08:44 This is John Consuta, exclusive.
08:46 Once they had enough money to pay for the transaction,
08:54 the NBI Resol Desk Office decided to conduct its operation
08:58 at this hotel in Quezon City.
09:01 One was arrested while three were in the hospital.
09:05 The authorities immediately conducted a follow-up operation
09:08 where the suspect arrested the apartment
09:12 that was a boarding house for women who were involved in sex trafficking.
09:16 The so-called "maintainers of the group" were arrested here.
09:20 In total, 23 victims were in the hospital
09:24 for sex trafficking, six of them minors.
09:28 Four suspects were arrested.
09:30 According to the NBI,
09:32 an informant was the one who contacted them
09:34 as the most modest of the syndicate.
09:36 They were conducting a transaction with their customers
09:41 through the use of social media.
09:44 The women were being delivered to the place
09:49 through a motorcycle taxi.
09:52 Their operation was still going on
09:56 until the nightfall.
09:59 Gail's mother said that she didn't realize
10:01 that her daughter was riding a motorcycle in her work.
10:04 But she experienced pain and abuse
10:08 from some of her clients.
10:10 At first, I only knew that it was a massage.
10:12 I wanted to save money
10:14 so that I could work in a foreign country
10:16 because I'm a breadwinner in my family.
10:18 I also have a child who doesn't support her father
10:22 so I was forced to join the syndicate.
10:24 Some suspects denied the accusation.
10:27 It's not true, sir.
10:29 We are the promoters of the super clubs.
10:33 I'm their manager.
10:34 Those women are my promoters.
10:38 We have evidence that it's legal
10:41 for us to work there.
10:43 I only knew that they were being delivered
10:45 through a massage.
10:47 I didn't know that they were being talked about.
10:51 We will judge the suspects
10:54 in the Republic Act 9208
10:57 or Human Trafficking Act
10:59 in relation to RA 73610
11:02 or child abuse
11:03 because we have minor offenders.
11:07 For GMA Integrated News,
11:09 I'm your reporter, John Consulta.
11:12 Even without a storm,
11:15 the flood and landslides are still rampant
11:18 in some parts of the country.
11:20 The estuaries are being prepared
11:22 to avoid flooding this rainy season.
11:24 Witness, Ian Cruz.
11:26 The water in the Tulay River
11:32 in Gregorio del Pilar was flooded
11:34 because of the heavy rain.
11:36 89 families were affected.
11:39 The MDRMC warned the residents
11:42 not to forcefully cross the Tulay River.
11:44 That's the only way to Barangay Buso
11:48 but there are motor vehicles
11:52 and people who used to cross the river.
11:57 A family was evacuated
11:59 to a coastal barangay in Vigan, Ilocos Sur
12:02 because of the landslides
12:04 in their area that was affected by the rain.
12:07 A huge storm ate up 20 meters of land.
12:11 Strong winds and rain
12:13 also caused the city to move away
12:15 from Ilocos Norte.
12:16 A pose was hit
12:18 by a power outage.
12:20 In Badok, fish cages were damaged
12:23 so the fishermen were forced to leave.
12:26 It rained heavily in Ilocos provinces.
12:29 The rain and wind were also heavy
12:32 in San Tonino, South Cotabato yesterday.
12:35 But it wasn't because of the storm
12:37 but because of the thunderstorms.
12:39 It's possible that by next week
12:41 we'll experience more rain
12:43 especially here in the western section of the country.
12:46 Now that it's raining,
12:48 dredging is being done in various places
12:50 like Iloilo floodway
12:52 and in Villanueva Creek in Paranaque.
12:55 The possible damage is being removed
12:57 like garbage and sediment
12:59 so that the creek has more capacity
13:01 when it rains.
13:02 Plastic waste is being thrown.
13:05 Plastic is also being collected
13:07 in Estero de Vitas in Tondo, Manila.
13:10 There are also wheels, fly hoods and chairs.
13:14 It's a matter of discipline
13:16 when you see this much garbage
13:18 being collected here in Vitas Tondo pumping station.
13:22 According to their plant engineer,
13:24 they're getting 2 trucks of garbage
13:27 every day during the rainy season.
13:30 With the help of the World Bank,
13:32 the DPWH started the rehabilitation
13:34 of Vitas pumping station
13:36 to be able to dump the garbage in Estero.
13:40 As the pumping station capacity increased,
13:43 the 5 new pumps will be used
13:45 during the rainy season.
13:48 All garbage will be dumped.
13:50 When the pumps are running,
13:53 we have to continuously dump garbage
13:55 so that the garbage will not be dumped on the screen.
