00:00Senator Wynne Gatchalian called Alice Guo an enabler of the syndicates.
00:05She was investigated because of her connection to POGO.
00:11Guo's accomplice filed a motion to remove the suspending of her.
00:16Ma'am Gonzalez witnessed it.
00:21In spite of the repeated objections of Mayor Alice Guo, who is a protector of POGO,
00:26there are concrete evidences that support the allegation that she is connected to the syndicates.
00:31It came out in the Executive Session of the Senate yesterday, according to Senator Wynne Gatchalian.
00:36It came out that there are concrete evidences that she has a link to the criminal syndicates
00:45that organized POGO in Bamban.
00:48She has a link to the organized crimes.
00:52Mayor Alice Guo is the one who opened the doors for this criminal syndicate to come in.
00:59She became an enabler.
01:01Guo has not yet made a statement about this.
01:03According to Gatchalian, not only Guo, but many influential people are involved in the raid of the POGO complex in Bamban, Tarlac.
01:10I was alarmed because our intelligence agencies confirmed what we are afraid of,
01:19that the roots of POGO are deepening.
01:22Their influence is deepening.
01:27It is reaching the politicians and enforcement agencies like the police and the Bureau of Immigration.
01:35Until now, the Anti-Money Laundering Council has not yet determined
01:39where the money that was used to build the POGO complex came from.
01:43According to Gatchalian, it is not less than 6 billion pesos.
01:47It is like a maze.
01:49You cannot find the contractor, you cannot find the bank that used the money,
01:53you cannot find who received the money.
01:55According to us, the investigation is still pending.
01:58But this has already happened.
02:00This Baofu Land was constructed in 2019.
02:04It is 2024 now.
02:06The 6.1 billion pesos are continuously coming in, but they were not detected.
02:11That is why I am quite disappointed with AMLOC that they were not detected.
02:16Even yesterday, they did not have an answer.
02:18We are trying to get AMLOC's opinion on this.
02:21Earlier, Campo Nigo filed a motion for reconsideration with Urgent Motion to Lift Preventive Suspension.
02:28Gape Nigo, the Ombudsman has no reason to suspend him as the mayor of Bambantarlac.
02:34The mayor's fight continues and he is still happy despite the criticism.
02:38According to the tax evasion case prepared by the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission,
02:43More than 90% of the people in the Philippines have tax deficiencies.
02:48That is why there is an assessment.
02:50That is why the BIR is asking first if it is true that you do not want to pay.
02:54Gope Nigo's lawyer also has a message to the Senate.
02:57We are in disarray.
02:58We are in disarray.
02:59When will this end?
03:00When will we pass the law?
03:01Allegations are not the truth.
03:04Allegations are not evidence.
03:06If you are alleging something, you are the one saying it.
03:10Prove it.
03:11For GMA Integrated News, I am Mav Gonzalez, your witness.
03:17The volcanic eruption of Canlaon continues.
03:20According to PBOX, residents of Bicol Region are also being careful.
03:24Volcanic haze is approaching which has the effect of eroding the volcano.
03:28Witness, Aileen Pedrezo of GMA Regional TV, One Western Visayas.
03:36South westerly wind has reached Bicol Region.
03:40Volcanic haze is approaching which has the effect of eroding the volcano.
03:44According to PBOX and PGASA Southern Luzon,
03:47Volcanic haze is possible to form if the volcano is surrounded by clouds.
03:52Volcanic haze is said to be visible in some parts of Naga City,
03:56Camarines Sur, Albay, Camarines Norte, Masbate and Sor Sugon.
04:01Volcanic haze is visible in some parts of Naga City,
04:06Camarines Sorte and Masbate and Sor Sugon.
04:09It's painful in the throat, in the respiratory system, it's hard to breathe, and of course, it's smelly.
04:21FIVOX reminded everyone to wear a face mask and to be alert at all times.
04:29La Jarflo left a gap yesterday in La Castellana, Negros Occidental, and residents are still cleaning it.
04:36Authorities have issued a warning to anyone who touches the lake, to immediately wash the lake with water.
04:42Another problem is that after the volcano erupted, people are forced to drink water.
04:48They are now working on a solution for the barangay.
04:51Because of the flood, residents in Kabagnaan are worried to get water from the river near the volcano.
04:58They are now getting water from Cadojada Springs using a hose.
05:02We are asking for medicine for the throat, nose, and water.
05:08That's one of our problems, the contaminated source of water.
05:13According to FIVOX, La Jarflo may have another flood if the rain continues in the area.
05:19La Castellana LGU is also aware of the wide spread of ash fall in agriculture.
05:25That's the main problem, because almost all the vegetation on the top has been destroyed.
05:31Also the reported ash fall.
05:36We are preparing for some support to our farmers.
05:41The Department of Agriculture Region 6 has already sent people to Negros Occidental.
05:47They have monitored that they will return their farms and livestock.
05:52For the safety of the people, we are also making sure that we have a program to help our farmers.
06:02They are also talking to LGUs to find places to put sick livestock.
06:08It is also important to give livestock food.
06:12FIVOX is still closely monitoring the activities of the volcano.
06:16The activity of the volcano is heightened.
06:19The plume of ash reaches up to 1,500 meters.
06:25The government and the affected LGUs are talking about what to do if Mount Canaon is alert level 3.
06:35For Jemay Integrity News, I'm Aheen Cadreso of Jemay Regional TV.
06:40One Western Desires, your success.
06:44This April, Filipinos will have no jobs.
06:46Even those who have jobs, but are looking for extra income.
06:50Witnessed by Bernadette Reyes.
06:56On the upcoming June 12 Independence Day,
06:58the Labor Department's annual free job fair will be held in several malls in Metro Manila.
07:0331,000 jobs will be allocated.
07:06Although it is a big help, that number is far compared to the number of unemployed this April.
07:11In the Labor Force Survey of the Philippine Statistics Authority,
07:1440,000 were added in April compared to 2 million Filipinos who had no jobs in March.
07:20This is equivalent to a 4% increase in the rate of unemployment.
07:24Those who are underemployed or even employed are looking for extra income or hours of work.
07:31From 11% in March, the underemployment rate was 14.6% in April.
07:37Equivalent to 7,040,000 who are looking for extra income.
07:41According to the Philippine Statistics Authority,
07:44the wholesale and retail trade, particularly the food and beverage industry,
07:48is increasing in the number of unemployed.
07:50However, not all are accepted as full-time employees.
07:54Not all are absorbed.
07:56But you have workers, but they are not all working the 40 hours.
08:02What about those who are sick, like Marilu Bisano,
08:06who has children who are still studying?
08:08I am already 50 years old.
08:12That's why it's hard for me to find a job.
08:15Marilu's job includes the lowest salary in the country.
08:20In the Labor Force Survey of the Philippine Statistics Authority,
08:23403 pesos a day are allocated to elementary occupations,
08:28such as domestic cleaner and helper.
08:31Equivalent to Php 316 to Php 610 minimum wage
08:35or daily wage of workers across the country.
08:38Under the current order of President Marcos Longmayo,
08:42a review is underway on the daily wage in Metro Manila
08:45and the following wage boards of other regions.
08:48While in the Senate, the proposed Php 100 legislated minimum wage hike
08:53in the private sector has already been approved.
08:55As for government employees,
08:57there is a call to raise their salaries.
09:00According to the budget department,
09:02it should be discussed and approved in Congress
09:05before they implement the increase.
09:07While there is no clear call for a wage increase,
09:10Sharlene, who was a machine operator back then,
09:13clings to the hope of earning more
09:16with the help of her diploma as a result of her efforts to finish.
09:20It's harder to apply when you don't finish.
09:23If you have a degree,
09:25you can still get a job in the office.
09:29For GMA Integrated News,
09:31Bernadette Reyes is your witness.
09:34First Lady Lisa Araneta Marcos
09:36and Chinese Ambassador to the Philippines Wang Si Lian
09:39attended an exhibition in Pasay.
09:41At one point,
09:42the two also exchanged greetings
09:44together with some officials and visitors.
09:46The exhibit, Likha 3,
09:48features the colors and strength of hobbies
09:51and other products made by Filipinos.
09:55More than 80 Filipino artists and designers
09:57were featured in the exhibit
09:59from different islands of the country.
