NewsTranscript
00:00A motorist was arrested in Santa Maria, Bulacan.
00:03Even though they are private vehicles, these passengers are driving them and asking for payment.
00:09First news live, James Agustin.
00:12James, that's not a color room.
00:17Van, good morning.
00:18Four cars entered the color room.
00:20We were able to see the operatives of SAIG in their operation here in Santa Maria, Bulacan.
00:25One of the people they caught, Van, was able to escape from the chase after the driver ran away.
00:32SAIG, the Special Action Intelligence Committee, arrested several private vehicles
00:37that were driving passengers on Santa Maria Bypass Road here in Bulacan.
00:41SAIG received information that each passenger is being paid P100,
00:47according to Balintawak, Muñoz, and SM North.
00:50Two cars and an AUV that were driving passengers
00:53were immediately arrested because this is considered a color room.
00:56The last one was a TNVS driver, but no one opened his app.
01:00The vehicles were impounded.
01:02The driver obtained a license and initiated a Temporary Operator's Permit or TOP.
01:08Meanwhile, an L300 van suddenly returned when SAIG was seen.
01:12The vehicle was speeding, so the operatives chased it.
01:15The chase reached the barangay population.
01:18Only two tricycles were hit by the L300 van, while one tricycle driver was injured.
01:22According to SAIG, 12 passengers were in the L300 van.
01:26Here is the statement of SAIG and some of the seen drivers.
01:31They are helping me.
01:33Of course, sometimes, we also do that in taxis, sir.
01:38I'm free now.
01:40My two nephews and cousins are there.
01:43When they were working, I just accompanied them to Cavite.
01:49Now, I just accompanied them there.
01:52But I really can't go out, sir.
01:54Because usually, I go in.
01:56It's very dangerous to ride in a color room vehicle
01:59because first of all, the insurance of our passengers will be compromised.
02:05Second, the owner himself, we don't know him.
02:09He's not a franchise holder.
02:11So, they will also have a problem when it comes to the insurance of the owner of the vehicle.
02:20Meanwhile, Ivan, here in this part of the barangay population, here in Santa Maria, Bulacan,
02:24this is where the chase ended.
02:26You can see, those are the tricycles that were hit by the L300 van.
02:31According to SAIG, the police are still waiting here from Santa Maria PNP
02:36to investigate this because the L300 van driver is facing multiple complaints.
02:42And one was injured here.
02:44The SAIG operation continues here in Santa Maria, Bulacan.
02:47The fine is P120,000 to P200,000 for those who were caught in a color room vehicle.
02:53That's all for now in Bulacan.
02:55I'm James Agustin for GMA Integrated News.
