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.
