00:00We will all be together on the left!

00:14The next time that Dismissed Mayor Alice Guo will leave the country,

00:18President Marcos assured that there will be an answer and that he will be executed.

00:22The NBI has already alerted the Interpol,

00:24but the government's plan to bring Guo back to the Philippines is calculated

00:29because no case has been filed in court yet.

00:31This is Sandra Aguinaldo.

00:36Where is Alice Guo?

00:38According to the Bureau of Immigration, there is no record of him leaving the country.

00:42But based on the information they obtained,

00:45there is a record of his arrival in Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia.

00:49They are continuously investigating who helped Guo.

00:53Three possible exit points are being looked at.

00:56They are Hilagan Luzon, Katimugang Luzon, and Mindanao Backdoor.

01:00No matter what type of airplane or ship he boarded,

01:03according to the Bureau of Immigration,

01:05there is no report of him emigrating to aviation regulation agencies

01:10or maritime agencies.

01:13If President Bongbong Marcos will be executed,

01:16Guo will be executed.

01:18This will show that the country's justice system is weakening

01:23and the public's trust in the government.

01:25The President also said that those behind him will be prosecuted.

01:29A wide-ranging investigation is being conducted

01:32to find out who helped Guo in his escape

01:36and they will be suspended and punished by the law.

01:41As of now, the government has already canceled Guo's passport,

01:45his family, and another witness in the operation of the illegal Pogo.

01:50Foreign Affairs Secretary Enrique Manalo can do this

01:54under the Philippine Passport Law

01:56as long as the passport has a Peking identity.

02:00Once we receive this PAN, these documents,

02:03stating that this, this, this has a problem,

02:07Peking identity, he is a PAN, a foreigner,

02:10then we will cancel the passport.

02:12Otherwise, this requirement would be a court order directing us to cancel.

02:17Once the passport is canceled,

02:19he will no longer have the right to travel anywhere,

02:22he will be held by the country wherever he is.

02:25Once that happens,

02:27it will trigger the so-called blue notice and red notice of Interpol

02:33and that will allow the law enforcement agencies of that place

02:37to arrest them and transfer them to the Philippines.

02:40But the process mentioned by Paok is not fast.

02:43As of now, one of the basis of the cancellation of the passport

02:47is the warrant of arrest issued by the Senate

02:50because of Guo's negligence in the hearings on the Pogos.

02:54There is still no warrant or arrest order,

02:57anything from the court that can be done for such Interpol activities.

03:02Of course, it is up to the government

03:04on what they want to do.

03:08But for me, the warrant issued by Yalis is only for the Senate contempt.

03:15The NBI has agreed with Interpol

03:18to put Guo on the blue notice list

03:21so that he will no longer be able to travel the country.

03:24The red notice is when there is a criminal case pending.

03:31The blue notice is just a watch out.

03:34It's just like that.

03:36Is the NBI allowed to do that?

03:39Of course, there is such a request.

03:42We are in talks, we are coordinating,

03:45but there is still no answer from us.

03:48But the arrest itself and the transfer to the Philippines

03:52is a separate process.

03:54There are many legal avenues available to the Philippine government.

03:58According to Solicitor General Menardo Guevara,

04:01the extradition or return to the country of a person

04:04can only be done to put him in front of a criminal case.

04:08For now, the pending criminal cases against Guo

04:11are the Qualified Human Trafficking,

04:13which DOJ is investigating,

04:15and Material Misrepresentation,

04:17which COMELEC is investigating.

04:19If it's true that Guo is in Indonesia,

04:21the Philippines has an extradition treaty in Indonesia,

04:24said the DFA.

04:25On Tuesday, the Senate Justice Subcommittee will hear

04:29the investigation of Guo's extradition.

04:31It's really hard for the Filipinos.

04:34It's really hard for them to go to the immigration counter.

04:38There was a time when they were still looking for a diploma or yearbook.

04:43Some of them even wore a toga just to face the Bureau of Immigration.

04:48Then this Guo Huaping,

04:50the subject of the Senate Warrant of Arrest,

04:52is in the midst of the Bureau of Immigration itself

04:55that should pass through the counters.

04:58You'd think that the Bureau of Immigration is doing an express link.

05:04It's too easy, right?

05:06One of the people who will be called to the hearing

05:08is the notary who said that Guo is in front of him.

05:11If it's true that he entered here,

05:15he escaped before,

05:17but he's still coming back here,

05:19all the more,

05:20it's questionable.

05:21How could that happen?

05:22A person who was wanted by the Senate on the strength of a warrant of arrest

05:26can only leave and come back whenever he wants.

05:30That's not acceptable to us.

05:33It seems that the authorities are now concerned

05:36that it's impossible for him to leave,

05:38that he escaped,

05:39that no one helped him,

05:42that he should be stopped from leaving.

05:46The Senate Committee on Women and Children

05:48continues to listen to the illegal fugitives.

05:51For GMA Integrated News,

05:53I'm Sandra Aguinaldo,

05:55your witness.

05:58The students fought back

06:01in a school in Iloilo.

06:04In Ilocosur,

06:05two minors were injured and jumped off a bridge.

06:10Kim Salinas,

06:11a witness for GMA Regional TV.

06:17The two minors in Santa Catalina, Ilocosur

06:20were about to go home from the birthday party

06:23when they were suddenly attacked by three men in a car.

06:27One of the victims was injured.

06:36They were shot in the head.

06:39Luckily, they were wearing helmets.

06:54I was so scared.

06:56I didn't know what to do.

06:59The victims fled to the other side of the river

07:02to ask for help.

07:04The authorities are still trying to identify the three suspects.

07:09The Iloilo City National High School

07:11is now in charge of

07:13fighting the students

07:15until one of them is shot by a gun.

07:19According to the principal,

07:21the students had a recess

07:23on their Maymang trip.

07:25They went home to Sabonutan

07:27and Calaunan.

07:28They went home to Pananaksak.

07:30The victim is in good condition.

07:32The school is now closed.

07:35The Iloilo City Police are investigating what happened.

07:39For GMA Integrated News,

07:41I'm Kim Salinas

07:42of GMA Regional TV,

07:44your witness.

07:47Forty-one close contacts

07:49of the man who tested positive for Mpox

07:51are being watched by the authorities in Quezon City.

07:54The Department of Health assured that

07:56this is an old variant

07:58and not a new strain detected in Africa.

08:01Witness, Bernadette Reyes.

08:07Two establishments in Quezon City

08:09are being targeted now

08:11after a 33-year-old man

08:13who tested positive for Mpox

08:15was taken to the hospital.

08:17After the man passed away on August 8,

08:20he went to a spa on Rodriguez Avenue

08:22on August 11

08:24to get a massage.

08:26On August 15,

08:28he was taken to a dermatology clinic

08:30in Luzon.

08:31In the doctor's assessment,

08:33the patient also found skin lesions

08:36on his face, arms, back,

08:38and other parts of his body.

08:41Last week,

08:43a positive specimen came out

08:45and it was positive for Mpox.

08:47I need an intimate close contact,

08:49a prolonged intimate close contact

08:51so that you can be protected.

08:53Forty-one close contacts

08:55are being watched.

08:56Ten of them are people from the spa.

08:58Twenty-seven are clients of the spa.

09:01Four others are possibly his relatives.

09:04Twenty-eight of the close contacts

09:07were quarantined until September 1

09:09and are considered Type 1

09:11or have a higher chance of getting infected.

09:13The spa was closed

09:15because the mayor's permit expired

09:17and there is no sanitary permit,

09:19environmental clearance,

09:20and fire inspection certificate.

09:22The Type 1 close contact is critical.

09:25This is the masseur

09:28who handled the patient

09:30and also the clients

09:33who were exposed to our case.

09:36At this time,

09:38there are exhibiting symptoms.

09:41According to the Kasan City Epidemiology

09:43and Surveillance Unit,

09:44the condition of the patient's close contacts

09:46is monitored every day.

09:48It is important to detect early

09:50the symptoms

09:52to isolate and avoid

09:54the spread of Mpox.

09:56President Bongbong Marcos

09:58ordered the government agencies

10:00to continue monitoring

10:02against Mpox,

10:03particularly in vulnerable

10:05or vulnerable sectors.

10:07According to the World Health Organization,

10:09the symptoms of Mpox include

10:11skin lesions,

10:12fever,

10:13rashes,

10:14sore throat,

10:15headache,

10:16back,

10:17cold,

10:18and swelling of the lymph nodes.

10:20This June,

10:2126 countries declared

10:23almost 1,000 new cases of Mpox,

10:26the most in the Democratic Republic of the Congo

10:29in Africa.

10:30Last week,

10:32the Global Public Health Emergency

10:34or WHO declared

10:35the next outbreak of the new strain

10:37of Mpox,

10:38clade 1b,

10:39is easier to spread

10:41through frequent close contact.

10:44But according to Agence France-Presse,

10:46the DOH said

10:48the case of Mpox in the Philippines

10:50is an old variant of the virus.

10:52It is not as alarming

10:54as clade 1b.

10:56Mpox is not the new COVID.

10:59Regardless of whether it's Mpox clade 1,

11:02behind the ongoing outbreak

11:04in East Central Africa,

11:06or Mpox clade 2,

11:08behind the 2022 outbreak

11:10that initially impacted Europe

11:12and has continued to circulate

11:14in Europe since.

11:16The WHO also does not recommend

11:18mass vaccination

11:20against Mpox.

11:22Only those at risk are recommended

11:24to be vaccinated,

11:25such as those in close contact.

11:27We don't have a vaccine yet.

11:29Even if our country arrives,

11:31we should get a vaccine.

11:33If there is no vaccine,

11:35we need to detect the cases early

11:39to isolate and quarantine

11:42those in close contact.
