00:00Some Pasig residents are concerned about the illegal caravan that was caught on Marcos Highway.

00:06According to the barangay, they saw the drag racing, but they have no right to stick to it.

00:12Mark Salazar is a witness.

00:18The noisy revolution of the cars in the middle of the night.

00:23That's what the residents of Marcos Highway, part of Pasig, are waiting for.

00:30And the presence of those who do drag racing, dangerous on the road.

00:40A full resident took a video and complained to the police yesterday.

00:45At about 1 to 2 am, sir, we got a call from 911.

00:52Legitimately, there was a drag racing on Marcos Highway.

00:56Then immediately, our police responded to the area.

01:00When the troops were there, they ran.

01:03So maybe they got scared.

01:05So when the troops arrived there, there were two motorcycles left.

01:10The passengers on motorcycles are the ones who stop other motorists

01:14to clear and make the Marcos Highway a racetrack.

01:18They can see the residents of the barangay,

01:20but they are not deputized to stick to the traffic violation.

01:24Most of the time, sir, when there are no people on the other side,

01:29that's where they stop.

01:32Yesterday, the police raided, they passed by and ran.

01:35Maybe they are watching our cars.

01:37Every time they turn around, maybe it will turn red.

01:40Then when they are far away, that's where they drag race.

01:46The Pasig Police Substation 8 is located in Malawa.

01:49And there are only 15 police officers per shift.

01:53There are three barangays in our area.

01:56But we will not neglect the Marcos Highway

01:59because it is a strategic place for the submission of many people.

02:04In this impounding area,

02:06the two motorcycles involved in drag racing were brought.

02:10One of the motorcycles was already redeemed

02:12and he was fined P4,400 for violating the Anti-Drag Racing Ordinance of Pasig.

02:21There is no lead on the two cars that were arrested

02:24because their plates were not caught in the viral video.

02:28Aside from the fine of P4,400 for violating the Anti-Drag Racing Ordinance,

02:33their drivers are also facing a fine of P2,000 for reckless driving.

02:40We are still backtracking

02:42if it is possible for us to get closer to the CCTV in our area.

02:47For GMA Integrated News,

02:49Mark Salazar, your witness.

02:54Good news for those who are traveling via Cavite-Parañaque.

02:57It is faster to travel through the new Cavitex C5 Link Sukat Interchange.

03:04And this is free within a month.

03:06Witness Tina Panganiban Perez.

03:12Cavitex C5 Link Sukat Interchange is open to the public at 6 p.m.

03:18And according to President Marcos,

03:20who led the inauguration ceremony,

03:22the interchange will greatly help reduce the travel time.

03:27Motorists will now be able to travel smoothly, safely, and conveniently

03:32from Cavitex R1 to Sukat, Parañaque within just five minutes.

03:38It is a dramatic improvement from the usual one-hour travel time

03:42via existing public roads from Cavite-Parañaque.

03:46And the good news,

03:47there will be a 30-day free toll here.

03:51At first glance,

03:52more than 20,000 vehicles will benefit from this every day.

03:57I now invite my fellow Filipinos to take advantage of our expressways.

04:01Experience firsthand the ease and convenience

04:04that these roads will bring to our daily lives.

04:07The President also led the groundbreaking ceremony

04:10for the Cavitex Calax Link,

04:12which will be connected to Cavitex and Cavite-Laguna Expressways.

04:16And the Cavitex C5 Link Segment 3B,

04:19which will be connected to Cavitex Parañaque and C5 Road Taguig.

04:23It will also speed up the journey from Cavitex Parañaque to C5 Road Taguig

04:29when Cavitex C5 Link Segment 3B is completed in 2025.

04:34We expect that the travel time from Cavitex R1 Expressway section

04:40to SLEX C5 Road will greatly be reduced

04:45from what is now 40 minutes to 10 minutes.

04:49The help expected from motorists will also be felt even in business and economy.

04:56That will again be to the benefit of our small businessmen,

05:01to our farmers,

05:02and all of those who require transportation for their livelihood.

05:08For GMA Integrated News, Tina Panganiban Perez, your witness.

05:15Former Negros Oriental Governor, Pride Henry Tevez,

05:18was surprised by the allegation that he is involved in terrorism.

05:21Yesterday, Tevez filed a $600,000 lawsuit

05:24for the Terrorism Financing Prevention and Suppression Act of 2012.

05:30Despite the former governor, he did not hide from the law

05:33and was ready to face the court.

05:35He was also ready to show his bank accounts

05:38to make sure that no one would suspect him.

05:43PORAC and PAGCOR were laughed at by those who have jurisdiction

05:49in the PORAC-POGO hub.

05:51In the case of POGO in Bamban,

05:53Suspended Mayor Alice Guo and 13 others were formally arrested for Qualified Human Trafficking.

06:00Salim Manrefan is a witness.

06:05Aside from the scamming activities,

06:07the PORAC-POGO hub in Bamban, Tarlac,

06:10was discovered by almost 800 foreigners and Filipinos,

06:13some of whom were victims of harassment and human trafficking.

06:17This is included in the allegations of Qualified Human Trafficking

06:21filed by PAOC and PNP-CIDG against Suspended Bamban Mayor Alice Guo and 13 others.

06:29It was mentioned in the complaint that Mayor Alice Guo was holding documents

06:35held by the Bureau of Immigration and were distributed by Senator Wyn Gatsalya.

06:39Evidence came out of this,

06:41such as the fact that he applied to the former NOLO,

06:48the NOLO from the local government.

06:50His involvement in the Lesar Company also came out.

06:53His name was mentioned in the documents that were found in the POGO compound.

06:58Business partners of Guo were also accused,

07:01including one fugitive in China,

07:03two suspects in the money laundering case in Singapore,

07:06and officers and incorporators in Baofu Land Development,

07:09Hongsheng Gaming and Zunyuan Technology.

07:12Former Technology and Livelihood Resource Center Deputy Director General Dennis Cunanan was also involved.

07:18Based on the documents obtained from the POGO in Bamban,

07:21Cunanan also has a connection to the POGO in PORAC Pampanga.

07:25After piecing together the pieces of evidence,

07:28we concluded and we decided that he is part of the grand conspiracy to commit labor trafficking.

07:36The Justice Department prepared the Immigration Law and Bulletin Order

07:40against Guo, Cunanan, and 12 other respondents.

07:44The Mayor's camp said that he was ready to face a complaint.

07:49It is not enough to have a connection to the companies or individuals to arrest him for human trafficking.

07:55GMA Integrated News is still looking for Cunanan.

07:59When the Pampanga Provincial Government visited the POGO compound of Lucky South 99 in PORAC,

08:05the LGU of PORAC and PAG-GOR,

08:08were able to find out who is in their jurisdiction of the POGO Hub.

08:19The LGU can enter any establishment if there is an illegal income.

08:24PAG-GOR said that only one out of 46 households in the PORAC compound were given a POGO permit.

08:31It also started as a BPO who was just answering questions about online casino games.

08:38Eventually, we were able to find out who is in their jurisdiction of the POGO Hub.

08:45We were able to issue a 2020 valid POGO permit until October 27, 2023.

08:53Lucky South 99 also went out of business in the SSS, PhilHealth, and Pag-IBIG.

08:59Approximately 800 employees were registered for immigration.

09:04Not all of them were able to receive a POGO permit.

09:09Approximately 800 employees were registered for immigration.

09:14Not all of them were able to receive a POGO permit.

09:17Not all of them were able to receive a POGO permit.

09:23Lucky South 99 was not amused by what he heard,

09:26but he faced the list of its incorporators.

09:30He was also the president of World Wind Company,

09:33which owns the land owned by POGO.

09:36He only used his name and was removed in 2019,

09:40but he was still included in the corporation's papers.

09:43World Wind was the only company that was pushed.

09:48I was only removed there.

09:50Lucky South is still using my name.

09:53Aside from PORAC and Bamban, other places were also being monitored,

09:57where it is possible that there is an illegal POGO Hub.

10:00Maybe there are four local government officials who are helping us.

10:04We are intensifying our fight against this illegal POGO.

10:08For GMA Integrated News, Salima Refran, your Saksi.

10:14Today is the longest day of the year in the world.

10:17That is the effect of the June Solstice, also called the Summer Solstice,

10:21because it also marks the beginning of summer in the Northern Hemisphere.

10:25Winter begins in the Southern Hemisphere.

10:29Here in the Philippines, even though summer is over,

10:32it experienced 13 hours of daytime earlier, according to the forecast.

10:36And tomorrow, based on the data of Metro Weather,

10:39there will be rains in some parts of Central and Southern Luzon,

10:42Cagayan Valley, Ilocos Region, and a large part of Visayas and Mindanao.

10:47On Sunday, it is possible that there will be rains again.

10:50And more people will experience heavy to intense rains,

10:53so be alert in case of floods or landslides.

10:57Metro Manila will also be prepared for the chance of rain this weekend.

11:01There will be heavy rains and localized thunderstorms

11:04that will affect a large part of the country.

11:09Drivers are in panic because of the big-time oil price hike.

11:13Next week, Saksi with Jamie Santos.

11:19Motorists are already having a headache

11:21because we are talking about budgeting for gasoline or diesel.

11:24There is a big-time oil price hike planned for next week,

11:29according to the Department of Energy.

11:31Diesel is the biggest, almost two pesos.

11:35There is nothing we can do but still have to pay for gas.

11:39It is not easy to save fuel.

11:42At least if there is a vehicle, we can travel less.

11:47We don't want that because the price will increase,

11:50it will affect everything we buy, not just the gas.

11:54According to GMA Integrated News Research,

11:57there are already 15 OPH in gasoline this year,

12:00equivalent to almost seven pesos per liter.

12:02In diesel, 13 times of OPH is equivalent to six pesos.

12:07According to the Department of Energy Oil Industry Management Bureau,

12:11the new possible oil price hike

12:14is due to the ongoing tensions in some countries

12:17like Ukraine, Russia and the Middle East.

12:19But aside from the price of oil,

12:22the drivers are also facing another issue,

12:24the PUV modernization.

12:26Earlier, the Senate's response to the committee on public services

12:31regarding the modernization became heated.

12:33The Manibela group is asking to allow them to travel

12:36even if they did not consolidate.

12:38We will catch them.

12:39For most of us, the fine is 10,000 pesos.

12:42For the vehicle, 2,000 pesos.

12:45For his license, a total of 12,000 pesos.

12:48But the Bucina group is asking,

12:50How many extensions or consolidations?

12:53The question is, will he consolidate?

12:55We don't follow everything you say.

12:59And there's only one person who doesn't want to?

13:01It's not true that we don't want to.

13:04The truth is, we already have a modernized vehicle.

13:12We just don't want the consolidation.

13:16The deadline of the government is over,

13:18but only 12% of the local public transport route planning

13:21for the PUV modernization has been completed.

13:24The question is, why is the local government planning the route?

13:28The mayor is doing business.

13:31The route will be given to the families.

13:37So let's not totally give the route modernization to the LGU.

13:42The government of a local government unit

13:45is the one who knows the route better.

13:48For GMA Integrated News,

13:50Jamie Santos is your witness.

13:54Kapuso, let's be witnesses together.
