00:00When it rains like this, Baguio's landslide-prone is getting worse, or the possibility of flooding.
00:18That's why some students from there developed an early warning system that Metro Baguio is already using.
00:25Come on, let's change the game!
00:31Whenever there's a storm or even a simple rain,
00:36There's a second landslide!
00:38there's always a chance of landslides or landslides.
00:42When Typhoon Piping hit, it was around 10 p.m. that night.
00:52We heard a lot of noise.
00:55What we heard at that time was,
01:01Little Qibungan was already erased.
01:03Our neighbor said,
01:06We don't have a house anymore, we're going home.
01:12To avoid landslides and prevent landslides,
01:19Here's the Calamity or Cordillera Administrative Landslide Monitoring Integrated Toolbox.
01:25It's an early warning system that can provide real-time landslide data.
01:35At first glance, you'd think it's just batteries and solar panels.
01:39But did you know that it's made up of different sensors that monitor land movements?
01:46This device is made up of different sensors that detect environmental parameters
01:52like soil moisture, temperature, rainfall intensity, and ground movement.
02:00All of these are important to detect possible landslides or landslides.
02:04This red sensor monitors soil movement.
02:09The borehole is 20 to 30 meters deep.
02:13We need rapid advance technology to enable this system.
02:19And since it's an early warning system,
02:21It's hard to find these sensors commercially.
02:24After 10 years of waiting, we now have the available technologies.
02:31The project was launched in July 2022.
02:33With the help of Php 21.3 million funding from the DOST Philippine Council
02:39for Industry, Energy, and Emerging Technology Research and Development.
02:43Currently, there are 6 Calamity Sensors all over Baguio and Metro Baguio.
02:49And from the sensors, it will transmit the data and information to our central database.
02:58The Baguio City Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office is in charge of monitoring the installed sensors.
03:04It will give us a lead time to warn our constituents
03:09with regards to in cases that we need to do a pre-emptive evacuation.
03:15Project Calamity is certified world class and first of its kind here in the country.
03:20It's a huge investment especially in providing an early warning system in landslide prone areas.
03:28For GMA Integrated News, I'm Martin Aviar.
03:31Changing the Game!
03:35Former Caloocan Mayor Ray Malonzo filed a complaint
03:38against Caloocan Representative Oscar Malapitan and 6 other personalities
03:43for misusing the Luzon Foundation.
03:47Malapitan's answer has something to do with the upcoming election.
03:51Mariz Umali has the answer.
03:56Former Caloocan Mayor Ray Malonzo filed a complaint against Caloocan First District Representative Oscar Malapitan
04:01for misusing the Priority Development Assistance Fund or PDAF
04:07which is worth P8 million since 2007-2009.
04:17He released it to Caloocan Assistance Council Inc. or CASI
04:21even though it is not qualified to receive the PDAF
04:25according to a report by COA in 2012, according to Malonzo.
04:29Aside from that, until now, the group has not liquidated the fund
04:33even though more than a decade has passed.
04:36Malonzo also filed a complaint against former DSWD Secretary Esperanza Cabral,
04:414 other DSWD officials, and Senon Mayor, led by CASI.
04:46According to Malonzo, there is a similar complaint filed in the Office of the Ombudsman
04:50against Congressman Malapitan.
04:52This was found to be a probable cause in 2017
04:55but after Malapitan appealed, it was trashed in 2019 due to lack of evidence.
05:00Under the law, if there is new evidence, it can be revived.
05:06The recommendation of Mr. Malapitan to CASI is wrong.
05:12Some even testified that he is supposed to be the beneficiary of CASI
05:19but they were told that they were not accepted.
05:23Congressman Malapitan is right.
05:26Why is he blamed for not liquidating the group?
05:29That is the responsibility of CASI.
05:31As you know, the election is just around the corner.
05:36They are targeting our position.
05:40So, what I can say, it is all politically motivated.
05:46We are clean and we can defend the allegations he is saying.
05:54Just for the record, as far as you are concerned,
05:56did you benefit from the fund you gave to CASI?
06:01I did not benefit from it because their program is good.
06:04I was convinced and I put it there.
06:07Malapitan insists that the DSWD will not accept this if they do not accredit the CASI group.
06:14He does not have a personal relationship with the CASI members.
06:18Malapitan will think about the next step
06:21because he has not yet received a copy of the complaint.
06:23According to Cabral, he will just answer the complaint when he receives the copy.
06:28We are still trying to get the statement of the other accusers of Malonzo.
06:33For GMA Integrated News, Maris Umali, Naktutok, 24 Hours.
06:38Dear listeners, you will be able to watch a sensitive video.
06:43Among them are those who were tortured by some foreigners who were shown in the video.
06:49They also want to investigate the fake birth certificates that were issued to the foreigners.
06:54Tina Panganiban-Perez is on the scene.
06:57So, this is a man.
07:00Some videos of torture were released to the camera about Pogo.
07:05He was injured because he was suspected of escaping to report to the authorities.
07:11There was also a man who was electrocuted.
07:14This man who was hit on the head was supposed to be saved
07:17but the presidential anti-organized crime commission could not save him.
07:22He was also asked to be released because anyone can watch the live stream of torture.
07:28What we are trying to portray here is the evil of the illegal activities.
07:34It was done by other foreigners in cahoots with Filipinos.
07:40According to some buildings that were saved by the Pogo,
07:44they entered the Philippines as tourists.
07:48They will also get a working visa even though the Pogo does not allow the company to enter.
07:54This foreigner was kidnapped and brought to Porac Pogo on June 2,
07:59but he was saved on June 5.
08:02150 foreigners came here.
08:06One foreigner did not know that he was sold by a friend in Bamban, Pogo.
08:12He was sold by a friend in Bamban, Pogo.
08:15There, 280 foreigners were kidnapped and 231 were deported.
08:21His friend told him that we will just eat.
08:24He sold him for P300,000 but he did not know.
08:28And these operations have uncovered the extent of criminal activities associated with Pogos.
08:35From serving as a hub for human trafficking to engaging in crimes and cyber crimes like
08:42lab scams, loan scams, kidnappings, prostitution, murders, and a nest for international wanted persons.
08:51It is almost the same with scam farms in other countries like Myanmar
08:56where a Filipino was saved and got a working visa to become an encoder
09:02but was turned into a scammer.
09:21The list of 402 cancelled Pogos and scam farms in the country was submitted to the committee.
09:27Only 45 Pogos were licensed in the country according to the Pag Corps.
09:31Three were suspended.
09:33It is difficult for the Pag Corps to fight illegal gambling due to online influencers.
09:39They use platforms such as Facebook, TikTok, YouTube to encourage prospective players to try their luck.
09:48There are many young people who can play on these illegal platforms.
09:55The licenses of Pogos or IGLs have been used to create a veneer of legality for their illegal activity.
10:02Some Pogos will continue to operate despite the ban.
10:05If there will be a ban, we will continue to operate against these illegal Pogos.
10:11At the same time, a resolution was passed to investigate the issuance of Peking birth certificates and passports abroad.
10:22For GMA Integrated News, Tina Panganiban Perez, Nakatutok 24 Horas.
10:29Because he is a scammer, the ramp for persons with disabilities was installed online
10:34at the new Edsa Bus Carousel Station in North Avenue, Quezon City.
10:39It was tested by a wheelchair user and was also measured by an architect
10:44to find out if being a scammer is based on the standard.
10:48Jonathan Andal, Nakatutok.
10:52This picture of the ramp is now viral at a new Edsa Bus Carousel Station in Philam, Quezon City.
10:58It is known by netizens as a dangerous place for PWDs.
11:06To confirm, we went there with Nelson, a wheelchair user of the Life Haven group.
11:12Sir, do you think we can do it?
11:14This is a risk, but we will try.
11:17From the bench, Nelson took the elevator to the footbridge.
11:21It was only the first ramp when the elevator came out.
11:26It's hard.
11:28I can't do it.
11:29I really can't do it.
11:31To get off the bus, he will try the viral PWD ramp to get on another elevator.
11:39I really can't try it.
11:42Because?
11:43Because it's so steep.
11:45If I go straight there, I might fall on the steel.
11:52But with the help of his companion, Nelson still tried to get off, but backwards.
11:58Can you do it?
11:59Yes, I can do it.
12:02Nelson had to hold the railings tightly to help his companion who cut his hand.
12:08It's really hard.
12:09He really can't do it, even though he's a professional wheelchair user.
12:14It's really slippery.
12:16It's not standard.
12:20Sir, are you having a hard time?
12:22It's really hard.
12:26We also showed Architect Arman Yustaccio the ramp.
12:29He is one of the pioneers of the first amendment of the IRR,
12:32or Implementing Rules and Regulations, of the National Law 344, or the Accessibility Law.
12:38Based on the law, the incline of the PWD ramp should be only 4.8 degrees.
12:43But when he measured it on the inclinometer, it's 14.15.
12:48So the difference is really big.
12:5010 degrees steeper.
12:5110 degrees steeper than 1 in 12.
12:55So it's really steep.
12:56It's really steep.
12:57The MMDA said that's why they made this ramp.
12:59Because when the elevator goes up, it's not even on the footbridge.
13:03They said that they can't raise the elevator because it will hit the MRT.
13:08The MRT was given a requirement that it should be like this,
13:13that it should be parallel to our structure.
13:18So what happened was that it was a bit steep.
13:22Their solution is to hold the railings of the ramp so that it can be attached.
13:27Because if it's not attached, what will happen to the PWDs?
13:29We didn't just give PWDs there.
13:32Of course, the elderly who are having a hard time walking,
13:37the pregnant women,
13:39we are always told that it's hard for them to go up to our footbridges
13:43because they can't access the loading stations.
13:46So that's the solution.
13:48But the problem is that the space is restricted.
13:52We appreciate that MMDA made an effort to make it accessible.
13:56But the intent of DP344, the accessibility law,
14:00is independent mobility.
14:02In this case, it looks like they can't handle unassisted,
14:05especially those using wheelchairs.
14:07We need to push them.
14:09Otherwise, it's a bit dangerous.
14:11Because it's dangerous, Nelson will not ride the EDSA carousel bus
14:15if the station is like this.
14:17He called on the government.
14:19I hope that when they do this,
14:22they will consult us first because we are the ones using this.
14:26For GMA Integrated News,
14:28Jonathan Andal, 24 Hours.
14:32Although there is a standard that is being recommended,
14:35it is also in the law that it may not comply with the standard
14:38of maximum gradient or angulo,
14:40the ramps that will be placed in overpasses and underpasses.
14:48The red carpet is waiting for the OOTD explosion
14:51that will be ramped by the biggest and brightest stars
14:54in GMA Gala 2024.
14:56Three days to go before that.
14:58Some sparkle stars already have their look and date
15:02for the special night.
15:04Let's talk to Aubrey Carampel.
15:09If in 2022, Jasmine Curtis-Smith is wearing an elegant black dress,
15:13and last year, she slayed the wet bangus look
15:17with a shining shimmery pen.
15:20This year, the wife of my wife's star is preparing
15:23her OOTD.
15:25Her physical preparations are in full swing
15:28and she also did the final fitting.
15:48And her escort.
15:55I'm hoping that Jeff could date that evening
15:58as he's been for the last two galas.
16:02And we can attend the evening together.
16:05Tandem dance red carpet.
16:07Mikey Quintos and boyfriend Paul Salas.
16:10This time, they planned their outfits.
16:14Since we started doing the gala three years ago,
16:17every year, I enjoy it more.
16:19Every year, you learn from the year before
16:22and this year, it's in our notes that we should match.
16:26We call it match.
16:29Andrea Torres is also ready to slay the GMA gala red carpet.
16:34I always want to surprise people.
16:37So, we look back on the previous galas
16:40and I said, I want something different.
16:42Still me, but more edgy.
16:45Something unpredictable.
16:47Jack Roberto and Elijah Alejo also did the final fitting
16:51with their stylist, Reggie Cruz.
16:53Jack's suit was designed by Jobs Estrella
16:56which he said was different from the one he wore last year.
16:59I want it to be clean, sleek, and dapper.
17:03The anti-silo shield has been named.
17:07That's my suit.
17:09You'll see. Watch out, guys.
17:11Elijah's gown has a little reveal.
17:14Now that she's 19.
17:16I don't think anyone can expect me to wear a gown like that.
17:21So, a new Elijah.
17:24Faye also has an extra look for the special night of celebration.
17:29Every year, I wear elegant and sexy clothes.
17:35But this year, I'll be more ultra-sexy.
17:39I'll be the real one.
17:40Of course, it's not Faye.
17:42Aubrey Carampel.
17:43Updated showbiz happenings.
17:48And here's the news this Wednesday.
