00:00Please be careful and make sure that the dentist you are going to is licensed.
00:06In Quezon, the small dentist who was even complained by his colleague,
00:12John Consulta Exclusive.
00:20After getting his signature on the undercover,
00:22the NBI Quezon entered the target area.
00:25NBI, NBI.
00:26Ready.
00:28The suspect, who was using a toothpick in the process of making a denture,
00:32immediately appeared in front of the operatives.
00:36Even though he is not a real dentist.
00:39We even had customers come to us on the day of the operation
00:43where they were making their denture.
00:47NBI Quezon also checked with the Professional Regulation Commission
00:50and found out that the suspect has no license to practice dentistry.
00:54But in the middle of the entrapment operation,
00:56another person tried to leave in the suspect.
01:00He complained that the suspect was abusing his son
01:03since he was only 11 years old.
01:07It was just a coincidence that when he was caught by the NBI
01:10because of his violation of the Dental Act,
01:12it seemed like this gave strength to them,
01:17it gave strength to our victim
01:19to tell the NBI what they really went through.
01:22We are still trying to get the evidence of the arrest.
01:25It has already been inquested in the complaint of illegal practice of dentistry,
01:28rape, child abuse, and acts of recidivism
01:31of the suspect who is currently in prison in the province of Quezon.
01:34For GMA Integrated News, John Consulta.
01:38NAKATUTOK, 24 Hours.
01:41The gadgets that were caught by a Chinese national
01:46that was arrested in Makati in May
01:48based on the PNP's investigation
01:52is not considered a spy.
01:55But we will also find out if the gadgets are being used for espionage.
02:00NAKATUTOK, 24 Hours.
02:05Based on the PNP's investigation,
02:07the Chinese national was arrested in Makati in May
02:11and was charged with grave threat and illegal possession of firearms.
02:15But these gadgets are the ones that are being used by the police.
02:18That's why a cyber warrant was issued to investigate.
02:22Now, the CIDG has returned the cyber warrant.
02:25Based on the findings, there are sufficient reasons
02:27to file additional complaints of illegal interception
02:30and misuse of devices against the suspect
02:33who has violated the cyber crime law.
02:35It appears that they have recovered evidence
02:42that would establish that these gadgets are being used for scamming activities.
02:47The PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group's findings
02:49were not denied by the police
02:52in accordance with the prohibition of disclosures
02:55to third parties of the cyber crime law.
02:57But the police confirmed that aside from the illegal interception
03:01and misuse of devices,
03:03the police asked for another cyber warrant
03:06to investigate the gadgets and their contents
03:09for possible espionage cases.
03:12Because they found evidence
03:15that may require issuance for another cyber warrant
03:19to examine data for purposes of filing a separate case
03:23that might have a link to the espionage.
03:27Until such time that there will be a cyber warrant
03:31with respect to this data,
03:33it is premature right now to disclose the contents of this.
03:38While the Chinese National is not yet considered a spy,
03:42it is under the custody of the Bureau of Immigration
03:45and will not be able to leave the country
03:47due to the upcoming complaints.
03:49Now, the police has a red flag
03:51for the use of a radio transmitter
03:54because it does not have a permit to own it.
03:57Will this gadget has been used
04:01or will be used for espionage activities?
04:04Again, that will be subject of further examination.
04:09As ADG told me earlier,
04:11they are being careful not to disclose too much.
04:15For GMA Integrated News,
04:17I'm Dan Otengcun with Tutok 24 Hours.
04:21Following the announcement of the news,
04:23DTI Secretary Alfredo Pascual clarified
04:25that his decision is not easy.
04:28It's his last day in the agency
04:30and there is no announcement yet
04:32on who will replace him.
04:35Bernadette Reyes has the final say.
04:41On the last day of Secretary Alfredo Fred Pascual
04:44as the Secretary of the Department of Trade and Industry or DTI,
04:48he will follow the official functions.
04:51As part of the ceremonial signing of agreements
04:54for the e-commerce track
04:56and weighing of the country's projects,
04:58yesterday, Pascual announced
05:00that he will resign
05:02and return to the private sector.
05:04Pascual said earlier
05:06that his decision is not easy.
05:08I'm very thankful to the President
05:10that he gave me the opportunity
05:12to at least spend
05:14over two years
05:16to do public service.
05:18I'm very happy
05:20about the collective accomplishments
05:22that we were able to achieve.
05:24I finally decided
05:26that it's time for me
05:28to go back
05:30to where I was
05:32to the private sector
05:34and be able to spend
05:36more time with my family.
05:38My family is growing.
05:40I have ten grandchildren
05:42who are always looking for me.
05:44In more than two years
05:46of serving as DTI Secretary,
05:48Pascual has done a lot
05:50for the country
05:52including the investments
05:54that Pascual has made.
05:56The expansion projects
05:58that were submitted
06:00to us by the President
06:02when we did
06:04presidential visits in some countries,
06:06almost all of them were implemented.
06:08The pipeline of projects
06:10that we are going to do
06:12will continue
06:14with DTI.
06:16In consumer protection,
06:18we have a lot of initiatives.
06:20I'm very proud of the support
06:23when I presented the budget
06:25of DTI for the creation
06:27of a National
06:29Enforcement Task Force.
06:31Under his leadership,
06:33more than 118 million
06:35uncertified products were confiscated.
06:37He also successfully stopped
06:39the sale of vape products
06:41online to protect
06:43young people.
06:45He has not yet announced
06:47who will replace Pascual
06:49as Trade Secretary.
06:51He is confident that anyone
06:53who will replace him
06:55will be able to continue
06:57his plans and projects.
06:59Including the negotiation
07:01of free trade agreements,
07:03the establishment of a shared
07:05service facilities project
07:07to strengthen the ability
07:09of micro, small, and medium enterprises
07:11and Filipino farmers
07:13to strengthen the creative industry
07:15in the country.
07:17For GMA Integrated News,
07:19A teacher in Batanes
07:21was really surprised
07:23when she was praised for her
07:25study of Spider Woman.
07:31There is nothing to be afraid of.
07:33Teacher Carol Barro
07:35climbed this flagpole
07:37in their school
07:39in the town of Sabtang.
07:41The teacher's hair was cut
07:43so their flag ceremony was postponed.
07:45She used to climb the flagpole
07:47in their school.
07:49The teacher was not hurt
07:51but she reminded the students
07:53not to imitate her.
07:57Miss Representation
07:59against Van Van Mayor Alice Goh
08:01was recommended by the
08:03Legal Department of Comelec.
08:05It was also matched
08:07in the fingerprints of a document
08:09of Goh Hua Ping.
08:11The election documents of the mayor
08:13were stamped by Maki Pulido.
08:17Not only in the fingerprint
08:19of the NBI clearance of Mayor Alice Goh,
08:21Comelec replaced the fingerprint
08:23from the alien registration card
08:25issued by the Bureau of Immigration
08:27to Goh Hua Ping, but also in the
08:29fingerprints of the mayor in his voter's
08:31registration, certificate of candidacy
08:33and when he voted in 2022
08:35and 2023.
08:37Just like the results of the NBI survey,
08:39Goh Hua Ping and Alice Leal Goh
08:41were only one person.
08:43They deserved to go to
08:45Bantarlac one day
08:47to see the EDCVL
08:49Election Day Computerized Voters' List
08:51and to examine
08:53the fingerprints
08:55of Alice Goh.
08:59Because the mayor lied,
09:01the Legal Department of Comelec
09:03recommended the match of
09:05Miss Representation,
09:07a criminal case for violating
09:09the Omnibus Election Code.
09:11It has a sentence of 1 to 6 years
09:14of perpetual disqualification from office
09:16and no pardon, except
09:18if the Comelec allows it.
09:20The decision of Comelec On Bank
09:22may be released next week.
09:24If approved, the complaint will be filed
09:26to Tarlac Regional Trial Court.
09:28Mayor Goh may also face
09:30a case of perjury.
09:32This is also a lesson to everyone
09:34that because no one will file
09:36disqualification or cancellation of candidacy,
09:38we cannot lie
09:40to our certificate of candidacy
09:42or you may be charged
09:44with a criminal case.
09:46These actions are premature
09:48according to Stephen David,
09:50the lawyer of Mayor Goh.
09:52He believes that before filing a case against his client,
09:54the court should first say
09:56that the birth certificate and Philippine passport
09:58of Mayor Goh are fake.
10:00In order to say that he had a misrepresentation,
10:02the court must first make a conclusion.
10:04If ever
10:06we receive formal notice
10:08to answer or reply,
10:10I will file a motion to dismiss.
10:12For me, there are prejudicial issues
10:14that need to be resolved.
10:16This is also the reaction of the lawyer
10:18when the office of the Solicitor General
10:20filed a co-oranto petition against the mayor.
10:22According to Goh's lawyer,
10:24his client is only here in the Philippines.
10:26He just doesn't want to listen
10:28to the Senate because there are cases
10:30that may be used against him
10:32for what he said in the Senate hearing.
10:34He is still being pursued by the client.
10:36Well, the challenge definitely is
10:38that there are resources
10:40for the people we are looking for.
10:42And if people really want to hide,
10:44they will find ways
10:46and use their resources
10:48to elude arrest.
10:50That is expected
10:52from the people
10:54they are looking for.
10:56But on the part of the PNP,
10:58we are taking this as a challenge.
11:00For GMA Integrated News,
11:02Maki Pulido, 24 Hours.
11:04Some motorists
11:06were arrested in Makati.
11:08They are also preparing
11:10to enter another school in the city
11:12that may be affected
11:14by the traffic.
11:16Ian Cruz was there.
11:20This jeep was arrested
11:22by the Makati Public Safety Department
11:24in Chino Roses Avenue.
11:26It was lowered
11:28on its shoulder
11:30to wait for passengers.
11:33We don't have a signage, sir.
11:35We will just put an abstraction.
11:37Six motorists
11:39were arrested.
11:41The PSD's arrest
11:43was a success.
11:45Especially next week,
11:47private schools will also enter the area.
11:49And if the enforcers
11:51are no longer watching,
11:53vehicles will be parked
11:55between Makati and Taguig
11:57at night.
11:59All throughout Metro Manila,
12:01once we clear that,
12:03there will be a return.
12:05That's why the Special Operations Group
12:07with the guidance of our chairman,
12:09we are intensifying our operations.
12:11The barangay officials can help,
12:13but they still need training
12:15to implement
12:17the traffic law
12:19according to Makati's legal department
12:21and public safety department.
12:23We are doing training
12:25for people to be deputized.
12:27Maybe
12:29if we don't deputize them again,
12:31they need to undergo
12:33proper training again.
12:35We are still asking for permission
12:37from Taguig.
12:39Private schools on Chineros Avenue
12:41are also being watched
12:43because the traffic is often
12:45congested during rush hours.
12:47The most important thing
12:49to talk about
12:51is really just
12:53to stay in
12:55the side of the road
12:57so that
12:59the other kids
13:01can continue
13:03the flow of traffic
13:05on the other end.
13:07It is also being studied
13:09if there are establishments
13:11that can use
13:13the loading and unloading zone
13:15of the students.
13:17In Taguig,
13:19the Traffic Management Office
13:21is being deputized
13:23to stop traffic violators
13:26We are with the TMO
13:28because
13:30if they don't follow the rules,
13:32they are the ones
13:34we are asking
13:36to receive the ticket.
13:38For GMA Integrated News,
13:40Ian Cruz,
13:41for 24 Hours.
13:43The Travel Budget
13:45of the Office of the President
13:47was approved in 2025.
13:49That's why the request
13:51of the Budget Department
13:53of the Government
13:55will get their additional salary
13:57that should be from January.
13:59Ivan Mayrina learned something.
14:05After the announcement
14:07of the last zone of President Bongbong Marcos,
14:09the Department of Budget and Management
14:11of DBM said that the first tranche
14:13or the first drop in the salary
14:15of government officials
14:17will be effective from January this year.
14:19The increase of the entry level
14:21is already included
14:23in the 2025 NEP.
14:25We added
14:27P70 billion
14:29for the increase
14:31of salaries
14:33of government employees.
14:35Of course,
14:37they are included,
14:39our teachers.
14:41The additional salary of four tranches
14:43will be given every year
14:45until 2027.
14:47There will be additional benefits
14:49from next year.
14:51The Executive Order for this is being adjusted.
14:53We allocated
14:55P9.6 billion for next year
14:57so that our government employees
14:59can get
15:01their medical allowance.
15:03P7,000 each
15:05employee.
15:07Our interviewees are happy
15:09because it's a big help for them.
15:11It's a big thing for us,
15:13just like the students
15:15and the citizens.
15:17It's a big thing.
15:19Instead of our problem,
15:21the part that we allocated
15:23for our medical allowance,
15:25we can now allocate
15:27for other things.
15:29The travel budget of the
15:31Office of the President
15:33for 2025 was allocated later
15:35based on the National Expenditure Program
15:37of the DBM.
15:39It was reduced by P94 million
15:41compared to the 2024 budget.
15:43The total fund for the President's trip
15:45is more than P1 billion.
15:47If we can see
15:49in their proposal,
15:53they reduced
15:55the travel
15:57both local and foreign.
15:59More than P6 trillion
16:01in the total budget of 2025
16:03and to fund it,
16:05the government needs to lend
16:07P1.537 trillion.
16:09P15.48 trillion
16:11as of June 2024.
16:13It will increase
16:15to P17 trillion in 2025
16:17before it goes down.
16:19But according to the DBM,
16:21don't worry as long as the country's economy
16:23continues to grow.
16:25Nominally, it looks big.
16:27Based on international
16:29standards,
16:31we are looking at
16:33the debt-to-GDP ratio.
16:35It has been
16:37going down.
16:39With our fiscal consolidation,
16:41we will ensure that it will go down.
16:43For GMA Integrity News,
16:45Ivan Mejrina for 24 Horas.
