NewsTranscript
00:00A Vietnamese woman was seen naked at the IAEA Terminal 3.
00:17A video was captured last Saturday of a woman walking at the departure immigration counters.
00:23She was immediately followed by people on the street.
00:26In the first investigation of the IAEA, a woman was offloaded on her flight back to Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam.
00:33The airport police said that the woman went straight to the comfort room and took off her clothes.
00:39We couldn't talk.
00:42Whenever we asked, she would just answer and stop.
00:47She appeared a little irritable because
00:51she doesn't know how to communicate in Tagalog and she doesn't speak well in English.
00:59Her language is Vietnamese so she can't communicate.
01:06So we were communicating with her through Google Translate.
01:11She's okay. After some time, she was immediately released.
01:15From what I gather, she was maybe meant for deportation.
01:21The IAEA gave the woman clothes, food and a wheelchair.
01:25She was also accompanied by a medical team.
01:27When her condition became stable, she was allowed to travel to Vietnam last Sunday.
01:32GMA Integrated News is working hard to get more information from the Bureau of Immigration.
01:38We are proud to announce that the Philippines has officially declared its Independence Day.
01:46The Philippines has already celebrated its Independence Day in other countries.
01:50The celebration was held at the Dubai World Trade Center in the United Arab Emirates.
01:56A parade was held where they gave wine to the Philippines.
02:02A hall was almost full because of the number of booths where the works of Filipino artists were displayed.
02:09In Jante, Belgium, Filipino food was displayed for the celebration in a park.
02:15In addition to that, the Pansip, Dinuguan and Bicol Express also held multicultural presentations
02:22such as the Maskara and Sinulog Festival.
02:24In Hong Kong, the Filipinos are doing a fundraising activity
02:28where they are working with a large company to help Filipino domestic helpers.
02:33Some OFWs are gathering in the Central District for the Baile Sakalye
02:39where the celebrations were held from different regions of the country.
02:46Some of the towns in Visayas and Mindanao were positive about the toxic red tide
02:50according to the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources or BFAR.
02:53Shellfish and fish from Davis and Tagbilaran in Mohon, Dumangquillas Bay in Zamboanga del Sur
03:03and San Benito in Surigao del Norte were not allowed to be eaten.
03:06Fish, squid, shrimp and squid from the said places are still safe to eat.
03:12Just make sure that it is fresh, wash it well and remove the inside before cooking it.
03:18As per Malacanang's order, a part of the flag-raising ceremony
03:21will be held at public schools and government agencies,
03:24the new Philippine Hymn and Pledge.
03:26We will be joined live by Benjo Basas, chairman of Teachers Dignity Coalition or TDC.
03:34Good morning to you.
03:36Yes, good morning to all of you.
03:40First of all, is your coalition in accordance? Why or why not?
03:46No. First of all, our land, land, land, country and land in the world is enough
03:56as part of our flag-raising ceremonies every Monday.
04:01These are very beautiful.
04:04There is a national consensus, a part of our cultural heritage.
04:11It really resonates in our hearts, especially our national anthem, its lyrics and history.
04:26According to one of the judges, just like your coalition,
04:31the song of the land is enough and the Pledge of Allegiance is also necessary.
04:36But is there anything else you can do? This is an order from Malacanang.
04:40Well, on the issue of is there anything we can do, it seems like there's nothing
04:44because this is an order from our President.
04:48But we are also looking at some views on this because there are some judges
04:56and some legal nominalists who are saying that this cannot be imposed by our President
05:02because this will go beyond the mandate or it's beyond the mandate of the flag and heraldic code.
05:09So we are also looking at that.
05:11We will not defy if ever that this will continue because we have an obligation
05:19to follow the rules as a part of the Department of Education, as public school teachers.
05:27But we also did not see the practical side, we did not see that it needs to be added
05:34because this will take four minutes when we are simulating.
05:38It's already long.
05:40Like we mentioned, we have Pambansang Awit, Panatang Makabayan, Pananong Pasawatawat,
05:47we have regional hymns, we have provincial, we have division, we have municipal, we have school hymns.
05:53So there are a lot of these.
05:56Well, it will be reduced.
05:58There will be a lot of time that will be reduced in the study of the students every Monday,
06:02which is the most important day in a week.
06:06You will not defy but will you appeal this?
06:09Like you said, there are legal nominalists who are saying that this will be beyond the mandate,
06:14this will be added to the singing of Bagong Pilipinas hymn and pledge.
06:20Yes ma'am. In fact, these public statements that we made ever since when this was released,
06:28this is our appeal to the government, to the President himself.
06:32Historically, as far as I remember, we don't have a President who imposed these songs to be added to our ceremonies whenever there's a flag-raising ceremony.
06:48Since the time of President Cory and up to the time of President Duterte, there's no such thing.
06:56So we think that while this is impractical, it is also unnecessary to do this this time.
07:06We are different.
07:08There's a ban on the use of cellphones and other electronic gadgets during class.
07:14What is your opinion on this?
07:17Well, we share the sentiments of Senator Getchell Yan, the good senator, who's also the chair of the Basic Education Committee in the Senate.
07:26He knows that if there's a ban on the use of cellphones and electronic gadgets in school,
07:35it should not be a total ban. It should be a strict regulation of that.
07:40We already have existing rules in the Department of Education.
07:44We just need to implement this and review why this should not be done.
07:50The Department of Education specifically responded.
07:56There are functions in the use of smartphones in the children's studies, even if they are in school.
08:04Aside from the practical use of this, because if our children have a cellphone,
08:12you can call them in case of emergency.
08:16For example, you will know if they are in school, if they need to extend their home or whatever.
08:24Cellphones are super gadgets.
08:28Everything is already here.
08:30You can use it as a library.
08:32You can use it for research in the Department of Education.
08:36For us, especially now, the modules, learning activity sheets, materials,
08:44especially since not all families in the Philippines can afford laptops or can provide laptops for their children, school children.
08:56Cellphones are the alternative.
08:58That's why this is important.
09:00But then, we have to strictly regulate the use of it, especially in classroom setting.
09:10All right. That's clear.
09:12Thank you very much for your time and for the information you gave us,
09:16Ginoong Benjo Basas, the chairman of Teachers Dignity Coalition.
09:20Good morning to you. Happy Independence Day.
09:22The demand for chicken has increased in some families in Metro Manila.
09:26Let's find out if the price has also increased.
09:28Live from Manila, we have the latest news from James Palestin.
09:32James.
09:37Maris, good morning.
09:38In the middle of the high price of pork in the chicken families,
09:42some of our beloved ones are buying it so that they can save and get into their budget.
09:48Here in Blumentritt Market in Manila, the price of each kilo of chicken has decreased.
09:55The price of chicken has increased to Php 400 per kilo,
09:58while the price of pork in Blumentritt Market in Manila is Php 340 per kilo.
10:04So, as an alternative, some are buying chicken.
10:08The price of chicken has decreased to Php 185 per kilo.
10:13It's lower than Php 195 per kilo last week.
10:18When it comes to choice cuts like chicken breast and breast, it's Php 190 per kilo,
10:23while chicken wings are Php 200 per kilo.
10:26It's lower by Php 10 per kilo compared to last week.
10:30The price of chicken is not stable.
10:33Sometimes, the price of chicken is low and sometimes, it's high.
10:36But why was it high last week?
10:38Of course, the chicken is small.
10:40And then, summer has passed, right?
10:43So, a lot of chickens are dying.
10:45Boy bought three chickens.
10:48He said that they reduced the cuts with pork so that they can somehow get into their budget.
10:53So that the price can be lowered or decreased.
10:57Because the price of pork is high.
11:00It's more than Php 40 per kilo of pork.
11:04Before, it was just Php 1.
11:06What do you cook with the chicken now?
11:08Tinola, rito, and usual dishes.
11:12Christina also has a butcher shop in Tondo.
11:15She also sells cutlets with pork.
11:18This is my adobo and chicken curry.
11:22I have fish and vegetables.
11:25This is the best one.
11:28The people who buy from me, the tricycle boys,
11:32I only use it for mass production.
11:34According to the Department of Agriculture,
11:37the Mami Mili are looking for an alternative to pork.
11:40That's why the demand for chicken is high.
11:42In the midst of high demand,
11:44their supply can be sustained.
11:50Meanwhile, Maris,
11:51some of the Mami Mili that we have talked to
11:54have discarded frozen meat.
11:56They bought it because it's cheaper than fresh meat.
12:00That's the first news from Manila.
12:02I'm James Agustin for GEMA Integrated News.
12:17Good morning, Kapuso.
12:19Happy Independence Day.
12:21We are here in Kawit, Cavite
12:23for the 126th Independence Day of the Philippines.

12:31the Socio-Civic Parade started.
12:33These are the participants of the Independence Day parade
12:38here in Kawit, Cavite.
12:40Of course, these are bodies
12:42from different places here in Cavite.
12:47Earlier, we were here at Emilio Aguinaldo Shrine
12:51with Mateo,
12:52where the Philippine government
12:56declared its independence on June 12, 1898.
13:03According to Kawit Tourism,

13:09for different activities.
13:11Today, it's just here in Kawit, Cavite.
13:14For now, the Socio-Civic Parade is still going on.
13:17They arrived here
13:19to pay their respects to Senator Bong Rebilla
13:22just before 7 a.m.
13:25Now, there are different activities
13:27around Aguinaldo Shrine
13:31and even in Aguinaldo Shrine.
13:34One of them is the Socio-Civic Parade.
13:37It started at 7 a.m.
13:39But earlier, at 5 a.m.
13:43the road was closed
13:45from Potol, Magdalo, Fire Station
13:48to Sus Intersection.
13:50Aside from the Socio-Civic Parade,
13:52there is also a Freedom Park
13:55where we are standing right now.
13:58That's the Freedom Cultural Show
14:01and Freedom Trade Fair.
14:03At 8 a.m.,
14:05there will be simultaneous flag raising
14:08and replaying ceremonies
14:09in different places
14:11including Kawit, Cavite, Malolos, Luneta,
14:14Aluocan, Angeles, Pantanga,
14:17and other places.
14:19That's how we celebrate
14:21the 126th Independence Day of our country.
14:25At this time,
14:27we will go with EJ Gomez
14:31who is now in Luneta
14:33where President Bong Boon Marcos
14:35was the first to celebrate Independence Day there.
14:40Independence Day in Bantayog
14:43of Bayanin Jose Rizal.
14:46EJ?
14:52Susan,
14:53Rizal Park in Manila
14:55will be one of the biggest celebrations
14:58of Independence Day.
14:59It is expected that President Bong Boon Marcos will attend.
15:03Officials and government employees,
15:06various groups and youth
15:09will come together
15:10to celebrate the 126th Independence Day
15:14of our country.
15:20At 8 a.m.,
15:21the flag raising and replaying ceremony
15:24or flag raising in Bantayog

15:33here in Luneta.
15:35There is a job fair,
15:36free check-ups and medicines,
15:38and many more.
15:39President Bong Boon Marcos is also expected
15:41to attend the Independence Day Parade
15:43at the Quirino Grandstand
15:44at 5 p.m.
15:46On the 126th anniversary
15:48of the independence of the Philippines,
15:50we asked some of our countrymen
15:52what is the importance
15:53of celebrating this occasion.
15:55For me,
15:56it is important for us
15:58to celebrate independence
16:00so that we can honor
16:03the good deeds of our ancestors.
16:07I believe that if we are not free,
16:09our lives will be more difficult.
16:11If we are not free,
16:14we will not be able to stand on our own feet.
16:18We will just depend on the colonials
16:22who are supporting our country.
16:24We should give importance
16:27to this freedom
16:29because this is where
16:32we can have our own opinion
16:38as a country.
16:40To give way to the expected
16:42influx of people here in Rizal Park,
16:44at 6 a.m. this morning,
16:46Rojas Boulevard cars were closed
16:49from Calau to P. Burgos.
16:51Those roads cannot pass
16:53until 10 a.m. this morning.
16:55Some parts of Rojas Boulevard,
16:57Calau, P. Burgos Avenue
16:59and Bonifacio Drive
17:00will be closed from 1 p.m.
17:02until 10 p.m.
17:04Meanwhile,
17:05some of our fellow countrymen
17:06took the opportunity
17:08to earn somehow.
17:16Susan, at this point,
17:17the organizers are still preparing.
17:20In terms of security,
17:21there are canines or police dogs
17:23roaming around and spreading.
17:25The PNP personnel are deployed
17:27all around Rizal Park.
17:29Later tonight,
17:30there will be a free concert
17:32where the Pinoy Girl Group,
17:34BINI, and other performers will perform.
17:36There will also be a grand fireworks display
17:39that will surely make our fellow countrymen
17:41happy on this day of freedom.
17:44And that's the first news
17:46from Rizal Park, Manila.
17:48EJ Gomez for GMA Integrated News.
17:51The Kingdom of Jesus Christ
17:53condemned their overkill
17:54and excessive use
17:56of the warrant of arrest
17:57against Pastor Apollo Q. Buloy
17:59and five others.
18:00This Monday,
18:01the use of the warrant of arrest
18:03in the KOJC compound in Davao City
18:05was intended.
18:06The KOJC has committed
18:08many irregularities
18:09in their response to the police there.
18:11Three members were injured
18:13in the KOJC compound.
18:15One member was arrested
18:17in the operation of the police
18:18in Glory Mountain.
18:20The KOJC is preparing
18:21their complaint against the police.
18:24Former President Rodrigo Duterte
18:26said that the KOJC Administrator
18:28will serve his term in the operation.
18:31Vice President Sara Duterte
18:33also called for a proper
18:35and proper implementation of the law
18:37to say that the use of the arrest warrant
18:39against Q. Buloy is a mess
18:41that shows questionable
18:43and excessive use of force.
18:45The gate of the Police Regional Office 11
18:47deserves a lot
18:49when they sent people
18:51to serve the arrest warrants.
18:53They said that the properties
18:55where 6 people were injured
18:57will be arrested.
18:59As for the KOJC members
19:01who were arrested in Glory Mountain,
19:03the police clarified that
19:05only 6 were arrested.
19:07Two minors were rescued.
19:09Some members of the PNP Special Action Force
19:11or SAF
19:13near Glory Mountain
19:15are still under surveillance.
19:18They were also arrested
19:20and we are preparing
19:22appropriate charges against them
19:24because of their resistance
19:26during the implementation
19:28of the warrant of arrest.
19:30One of the charges is the obstruction of justice.
19:32We also called
19:34his supporters and followers
19:36to allow the Philippine National Police
19:38to perform its duties.
19:40The camera is now showing
19:42the total ban
19:44on the illegal activities
19:46of some of these people.
19:48The PADCORP is not yet on board
19:50because it might have a bad effect.
19:52This is the first news of Jonathan Andar.
19:58In the battle of Pogo
20:00in Porac, Pampanga,
20:02four sets of Chinese army uniforms
20:04were added to the two sets
20:06that were found.
20:08There are boots and belts with insignia.
20:10There are also buttons with emblems
20:12and buttons
20:14with the PLA tag
20:16which is the acronym of the People's Liberation Army.
20:18In one uniform,
20:20there is also a small name tag
20:22to show the support
20:24of the arrested Chinese
20:26even though the PADCORP will check
20:28if this is really a Chinese army uniform.
20:30We were surprised
20:32if he went there
20:34because he wanted to work
20:36in Pogo Hub.
20:38If we can get information
20:40that he is in active service
20:42and he entered
20:44Pogo Hub
20:46for other intentions,
20:48we will know that
20:50through our investigation.
20:52Here in Building 11,
20:54military uniforms were found.
20:56This house has a workstation and office.
20:58This is just one of the 46 buildings
21:00that are being followed by PNP-CIDG
21:02inside the 10-hectare compound
21:04of illegal Pogo.
21:08AFP thinks that
21:10military uniforms are also possible props
21:12for illegal online transactions.
21:14The PADCORP is already conducting
21:16an investigation.
21:18For the part of the AFP,
21:20we will be supporting.
21:22We are trying to look at the veracity of the report
21:24whether they are legit uniforms.
21:26These are also very few in number
21:28to be part of a troop.
21:30We do not want to unnecessarily
21:32cause panic
21:34to the general public.
21:36The POS came to rescue
21:38the abandoned animals in the compound
21:40along with a laboratory
21:42full of wounded bodies
21:44Some sex toys,
21:46women's clothing,
21:48and rooms were also found.
21:50There are also videos
21:52of women dancing
21:54naked.
21:56They were sold online
21:58or they were live-streamed.
22:00There is sexual exploitation
22:02happening inside.
22:04The Lucky South 99
22:06still has nothing to do with the texts
22:08of GM Integrated News operating in Pogo.
22:10In the 2019 Mayor's Permit
22:12and Routes of No Objection
22:14in applying for the Lucky South 99
22:16License, Permit, and Franchise
22:18Mayor Jaime Capil has a signature.
22:20The company was known
22:22as Lihitimo Silang Negosyo.
22:24Maybe we can ask
22:26for records on when
22:28it was built,
22:30who owned it,
22:32who applied for
22:34business permit,
22:36who applied for
22:38Mayor's Permit, Sanitary Permit.
22:40Of course,
22:42that's what happened.
22:44According to the PNP,
22:46the head of Pampanga Provincial Police
22:48is now administratively relieved
22:50to let the investigation proceed.
22:52In Supra's case,
22:54the Pogo in Porak
22:56was one of the places
22:58where the Pagcor license was given.
23:00But it's no longer there.
23:02From the previous 300 Pagcor licensees,
23:04now there are only 46
23:06Internet Gaming Licensees
23:08There are 250
23:10previous Pagcor
23:12license holders
23:14who are now
23:16doing illegal
23:18activities.
23:20In the midst of the crimes
23:22being committed by the Pogo,
23:24the people blocked
23:26the camera of the bill
23:28to ban the Pogo Hub.
23:30President Marcos Jr.
23:32should also speak
23:34because he's the only one
23:36who can speak.
23:38If he says that
23:40the Pogo should be banned,
23:42that's a good thing.
23:44But if he doesn't speak,
23:46what can we say?
23:48Are we protecting anyone?
23:50That's our question.
23:52There are steps to ban
23:54the Pogo approved by the House Committee
23:56on Games and Amusement
23:58by Manila's 6th District Representative
24:00Benvenido Abante
24:02and Resolution of Cagayan de Oro's
24:046th District Representative Rufus Rodriguez.
24:06I think that
24:08Pagcor
24:10should not
24:12voluntarily stop
24:14the
24:16preparation of Pogo in the country.
24:18According to Pagcor,
24:20if the IGLs are banned in the country,
24:22the operation might go underground
24:24which is more difficult to control.
24:26It will also reach 20 billion
24:28pesos per year.
24:30The government will lose its income
24:32if the illegal activities
24:34are stopped.
24:36In 2023, we collected
24:38more than 5 billion pesos.
24:40And I believe
24:42that because
24:44we implemented the reforms
24:46last quarter,
24:48I expect that
24:50it will reach 6.5 to
24:527 billion pesos.
24:54We will monitor and regulate
24:56the situation.
24:58This is the first news.
25:00This is GMA Integrated News.
25:02Good morning to you all
25:04from Pogo Hub in Porac, Pampanga.
25:06We will talk with the spokesperson of
25:08the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission
25:10Dr. Winston Casio.
25:12Dr. Casio. Good morning.
25:14Good morning, Ivan.
25:16Yes, good morning.
25:18Dr. Casio, regarding
25:20Chinese military uniforms
25:22that were found in Pogo Hub in Tarlac,
25:24were they already recovered?
25:26Tarlac? I mean Porac.
25:28Do you have a theory as to what this is for, or is this really a Chinese military uniform?
25:35At this time, it's still too early to be able to conclude what is the reason why we saw what appears to be like Chinese military uniforms
25:47complete with emblems and insignias on the Locker South 99.
25:53That will be part of our investigation and will also be part of the evidence.
26:00But most of the time, we have shown our military counterparts that they will be in charge of the investigation in relation to whether these Chinese military uniforms are real.
26:11Do you at least have a theory, sir, as to what this is for?
26:15Well yes. When we say theory, there are many possible reasons. For one, they can use it as a threat to their employees.
26:27Bear in mind that this particular scum hub is known for torture, kidnapping and the like. They can use it as a threat to their employees.
26:37Another one is, this could be real, but then again, this could have been uniforms of military veterans.
26:46Remember in China, conscription is a state policy in mainland China.
26:55But of course, our extreme interpretation is that they are using it for whatever reason that is not legal.
27:08But if that's the case, what I will always say is if you're a spy and you left your things there, then you're not a good spy.
27:20A few congressmen said that this is a national security concern. What is your take on this statement?
27:29Is there a national security angle to this discovery of these uniforms?
27:35Well, the problem of scum farm has always been, as far as we are concerned, not only a national security concern,
27:44but this is a political, economic, law enforcement concern. This is a very long-standing issue all across Southeast Asia.
27:55So it's about time that the Philippines, as well as its regional partners, take a look at this problem from a regional perspective.
28:04Because when it was included in the Philippines, it just moved to other places in the Golden Triangle like Myanmar, Laos and Cambodia.
28:15But the effect of their scum farm is still felt here. Take a look at what's happening in Singapore now.
28:24Singapore just closed, if I'm not mistaken, if this case is being closed, the biggest money laundering case in its history.
28:33Certain pentacles of that organization can be found here in the Philippines.
28:40In fact, the two cases there are former partners of Bambang Mayor Alice Guo.
28:47This is the last point. There are calls to totally ban these scum farms. What is your position on this call?
28:57We already talked about this, but we told the Secretary that this is a policy question that is best left to the policymakers.
29:09Please bear in mind, Ivan, that our chairman is Executive Secretary Lucas P. Barsamin.
29:17We do not want to second-guess the Executive Secretary on what will be his recommendation to the President.
29:26Eventually, at the end of the day, it will be the President who will decide as to what will be the fate of this particular Pogos in the Philippines.
29:36But at the very least sir, we cannot ignore and ignore the serious crimes that are being committed against the Pogos.
29:44That's true sir. In fact, when we started the raid on May 4, 2023, we were continuously raided.
29:53That's the only thing, considering the extent of the problem, we cannot end this overnight.
30:02We called on the licenses, the internet gaming licenses. They have to please their ranks.
30:11Once and for all, if they have locators, lessees and others who are using their licenses to commit crimes,
30:23immediately among themselves, report it so we won't have a hard time.
30:29Okay. Dr. Casio, thank you for your time. Happy Independence Day to you.
30:34Thank you very much, Ivan.
30:36We talked to Wilson Casio of PAOK.
30:39The cast of the family drama, Napulang Araw, is celebrating Independence Day in Tarlac City with Dennis Trillo and Ashley Ortega.
