NewsTranscript
00:00This morning, here are the first news brought to you by GMA Integrated News.
00:20The call of several transport groups, including Grupong Piston, for the destruction of the Public Transport Modernization Program of the government continues.
00:31This Tuesday, they visited the Supreme Court to request the issuance of a Temporary Restraining Order against the so-called program.
00:40Joining us this morning is Camody Floranda, the leader of Grupong Piston.
00:46Camody, good morning. Welcome to Unang Balita.
00:49Good morning, sir. Good morning to everyone.
00:54Before we talk about your request to the Supreme Court, how are you?
01:05Most of your members did not consolidate. Did they continue to pass or were they forced to stop because of the threat of being arrested?
01:16Some of them were able to travel, but the other operators were not allowed to leave their jeeps.
01:26Because of the threat of being arrested by the DOTR, their penalty is quite high.
01:33They are saying that this is considered a clue room.
01:37The penalty is P50,000 and the driver is P10,000, suspended for three months.
01:45That's why our operators are afraid, even though they want to serve our citizens.
01:55This is your petition. You are requesting the Supreme Court to issue a Temporary Restraining Order.
02:02But you also have some government issuances that you want to get rid of. Can you give us the details?
02:10We filed our petition last Monday. This is a follow-up to the one we filed last December and April 29,
02:23where we were asked by the TRO to approve the UBNP program.
02:29Because there are a lot of things that need to be studied and you will be able to discuss the program
02:35and our hearings with the Congress and the Senate.
02:39This should not be implemented by the DOTR.
02:44That's why we went back to the Supreme Court so that they can issue a post on the TRO program.
02:54Okay, okay. There was also a discussion between you and Senator Chiza Escudero.
03:07Is that right? Can you tell us what the discussion was about?
03:12Can you say that you are now looking for allies in the Senate?
03:18Yes, sir. Last hearing in the Senate, we found out that our senators issued a Senate resolution.
03:30Twenty-two senators signed it.
03:33In the previous petition, they suspended the program of the PUBNP
03:38because there are a lot of questions from our senators and our commuters in the transportation sector.
03:45That's why last Monday, we were called by Senate President Escudero
03:51to discuss the details of our petition regarding this program.
03:59That's why we were called because the Senate President insisted that they will not revoke their Senate resolution
04:10and suspended the implementation of the PUBNP.
04:13What the Senate President is saying is that those who are already included in the program,
04:21for example those who already have a corporation or a cooperative,
04:25they will continue to be suspended by the Senate,
04:31those who are not yet included in the program of the PUBNP.
04:34Our senators also saw that in the previous petition,
04:40they said that only 80 percent of those who complied.
04:47But the question is, are there any volunteers who joined the program or were forced to do so
04:52because of the high threat of the LCFRB of the DOTR.
04:56That's why we are asking our senators to suspend this program.
05:11But what the President and the government are saying is that you are already a minority here.
05:1880 percent of those who joined the program and only 20 percent of those who joined the PUBNP.
05:28What is your reaction to this?
05:30For us, it is clear that we are not just a small percentage.
05:36And we proved this when we initiated the PUBNP.
05:40Last week, almost the entire country went to the PUBNP.
05:43We already analyzed the situation of the transportation system.
05:49And it should not be based on the small or large percentage.
05:57What we are talking about here is that many are questioning their program.
06:01What we are saying is that 80 percent of those who joined the PUBNP,
06:05they are saying that many complied or many were forced to comply because they want to serve our country and bring life to the drivers and operators.
06:18For us, we are clear in what we are doing.
06:23According to the data of the LCFRB, they are saying that only 12,770 motors are running in our country.
06:32And there are still around 160 or 170 traditional rogue shipments running in our country.
06:41That means that the majority and the large number of our traditional rogue shipments are still larger.
06:54Thank you very much for giving us the time for the first news this morning. Take care.
07:00Thank you very much. Take care.
07:04Meanwhile, in the latest news, the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board, or LTFRB, was announced.
07:14The LTFRB has the power of the agency to manage and recover the franchise of public utility vehicles.
07:21The LTFRB is in accordance with the statement of the Senate President Jesus Codero,
07:25that the Congress has the right to give franchises.
07:29It is only delegated by the Congress to the LTFRB and the agency does not possess this power.
07:36In the text message sent by the LTFRB Chairman, Atty. Chofilo Guides III,
07:42in GMA News Online, he said that the Department of Transportation and LTFRB have the right to give franchises of PUVs
07:49under the Revised Public Service Act.
07:50The LTFRB has the right to give franchises to the Manibel and Pistons Group in the PUV Modernization and their Transport Strike.
07:58The LTFRB also stated that the franchise should not be given to Jeepney Operators and Drivers who did not consolidate.
08:06The authorities were alarmed by the numerous computers and gadgets being used in a scam hub in Parañaque.
08:15The office of NCRPO and Pagcor was raided by an unlicensed POGO.
08:22Here is the first live report of Bam Alegre.
08:25Bam!
08:30Igan, a scam hub was raided in a house in Parañaque after it was raided by the authorities.
08:37The search warrant was beaten.
08:38Here is the search warrant.
08:42Under the search warrant, the police raided the 9th floor of this house in Parañaque.
08:47More than a month ago, the Regional Intelligence Division of NCRPO
08:52raided the scam hub tenant in this house.
08:55The primary target of the search warrant is the electronic data that can be seen in the computers.
09:00As you can see, there are a lot of computers.
09:02And because this operation is still being processed, the employees assigned to the computers are still here.
09:09And this cell is one of the many cells in this area.
09:14According to the authorities, each cell of this office is operated by a digital computer.
09:20This is not an unlicensed POGO, according to the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation or Pagcor.
09:25This is a common crypto investment scam.
09:27An employee explained to them how to identify the target victims.
09:49There is also a love scam.
09:51In the computer screens of the employees, the age and civil status of the victims are recorded in the messaging apps.
09:57There is a script that is followed to place the victim's soul and give money.
10:02According to another employee who talked to GMA Integrated News,
10:05Filipinos and Banyagas are the ones running the scam hub.
10:09The recruiters are asking for money.
10:11But the employees themselves have a complaint against the company.
10:15They say that people are not in charge.
10:17A recruiter explained to us.
10:22And then what happens is that we get a big salary.
10:27But if we do something wrong or just one mistake, we will be penalized.
10:32The salary will be deducted.
10:34What did you do, sir?
10:36We just get the information, like name and age, that's all.
10:41Then after that, we transfer it to the main office.
10:44Around four employees will be processed by the police in this Umanoy Scam Hub.
10:48The police refused to give money because the operation is still ongoing.
10:57Authorities are now in contact with the owner of the house where Raid,
11:02a non-licensed POGO according to the PAG-COR, used the Umanoy Scam Hub.
11:08GMA Integrated News is trying to get their money.
11:12This is the first news of the day.
11:14For GMA Integrated News, I'm Bam Alagre.
11:15For GMA Integrated News.
11:17It's still unclear where Dismissed Bamban Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo is.
11:23The government's steps are careful to find her.
11:26The NBI alerted Interpol to put Guo in the blue notice.
11:31We have the first news from Sandra Aguinaldo.
11:37Now, various government offices are saying that they have information that she is outside the country.
11:43Dismissed Bamban Mayor Alice Guo, what will be the next move of the government?
11:49Because Guo is not yet a case in court, the government's steps are calculated.
11:54The DFA said that they have been talking about Guo's story for a long time.
11:59They have already reached an agreement since the NBI confirmed that Alice Guo,
12:04who became the mayor of Bamban, Tarlac, and the Chinese national, Guo Huaping, is one person.
12:10We cannot do this alone.
12:11We cannot do this alone.
12:13This is a whole of government.
12:15This is a whole of government approach.
12:17The important thing here is, on the part of the DFA,
12:21we assure the public that ever since the first one,
12:25our coordination is already active.
12:28We are helping the Senate, Congress, and other government agencies
12:35to resolve this issue.
12:38DFA Secretary Enrique Manalo said that Guo's passport can be cancelled
12:44under the Philippine Passport Law as long as the identity of the passport is pegged.
12:50Once we receive this document stating that this, this, this has a problem,
12:57pegging identity, she is a Kwan, a foreigner, then we will cancel the passport.
13:02Otherwise, this requirement would be a court order directing us to cancel.
13:06As of now, the criminal complaint of Qualified Human Trafficking against Guo
13:11has not yet been filed in the court of the DOJ.
13:14The Office of the Solicitor General, or OSG,
13:17filed a petition to the court to cancel Guo's birth certificate as a Filipino.
13:23The OSG also filed a co-warrantor petition to remove Guo as the mayor of Bamban.
13:30The Comelec is still under preliminary investigation
13:34for the material misrepresentation complaint against Guo.
13:38Aside from this, the Ombudsman issued a decision to remove Guo as mayor.
13:44The Court of Appeals also freezed his bank accounts and assets.
13:49There is no warrant or arrest order, anything from the court
13:55that can be used for interpol activities.
14:03It is up to the government to decide what they want to do.
14:08But for me, the warrant to remove him is up to the Senate to contemplate.
14:16The Solicitor General, Menardo Guevara, said
14:18the extradition or return of a person to the country
14:22can only be done to face criminal charges.
14:26For now, the pending criminal charges against Guo
14:30are human trafficking investigated by the DOJ
14:33and material misrepresentation investigated by the Comelec.
14:37If this is still true in Indonesia,
14:39the Philippines has an extradition treaty in Indonesia, said the DFA.
14:43The NBI is already working with Interpol
14:47to issue a blue notice to Guo
14:50that can help to disseminate information on the identification,
14:54location, or activity related to the criminal investigation.
14:57The red notice is when there is a criminal case pending.
15:04The blue notice is just a watch out.
15:07That's all.
15:09Is the NBI allowed to issue it?
15:11Of course, there is a request.
15:15We are coordinating with them.
15:18They haven't answered us yet.
15:21This is the first news.
15:23Sandra Aguinaldo for GMA Integrated News.
15:28The authorities are watching the two establishments in Kent City
15:32that were visited by a patient who tested positive for monkeypox or mpox.
15:36According to the QC Epidemiology and Surveillance Unit,
15:39on August 8, a 33-year-old patient from Metro Manila tested positive.
15:46On August 11, she went to a spa on E. Rodriguez Avenue.
15:50On August 15, she went to a dermatology clinic.
15:54According to the Mayor of Quezon City, Joy Belmonte,
15:57the doctor saw skin lesions on different parts of her body.
16:01This week, she tested positive for mpox.
16:05There were 41 close contacts,
16:0810 employees of the spa,
16:1027 clients of the spa,
16:12and 4 possible relatives of the patient.
16:1528 of them had a high chance of getting infected,
16:18so they were quarantined until September 1.
16:21The spa on E. Rodriguez, where the patient first went,
16:25was closed by the Quezon City LGU
16:27after learning that the business permit was already expired.
16:30According to the Department of Health,
16:31a clade 2 variant was detected in the country.
16:34The clade 1b variant is not dangerous
16:37as it spreads in Africa.
16:39President Marcos ordered monitoring of places
16:42and vulnerable patients.
16:44The Quezon City LGU also reminded
16:47what should be done to prevent the spread of mpox.
16:54She should isolate in her own room.
16:57She should not take and use
17:00what should be used by her family
17:04as it can transmit her linen, towels, etc.
17:11Based on the history of the patient,
17:13the patient is at high risk
17:16as she has multiple sexual partners.
17:18According to the third and final reading in the House,
17:21how can it be prohibited to be the basis
17:24of the substitution in the election
17:27of the withdrawal of the Certificate of Candidacy?
17:30Unanimously, there is no violation
17:33of Article 195 of the House Bill 10-524.
17:37According to the committee,
17:39it can prevent abuse in the election system
17:42where the parties of the placeholder
17:44candidates use to follow the deadline
17:47of the withdrawal of the Certificate of Candidacy.
17:50The permanent incapacity
17:52as the basis of substitution was added.
17:55This is the physical or mental disability
17:58of the candidate's ability
18:00to continue his candidacy.
18:03A medical report should be given
18:05from the licensed doctor
18:07as a proof of this.
18:15Vice President Sara Duterte called
18:18the allegations of plagiarism
18:20against her
18:22in her children's book,
18:24Na Isang Kaibigan.
18:26According to her,
18:28it is easy for her to write a short story
18:30based on her own experience.
18:32That's why she doesn't need to copy others.
18:34According to the book,
18:36it was written by a young woman
18:38who loves reading and writing her own story.
18:40The plagiarism became an issue
18:42after some netizens noticed
18:44that Vice President Duterte's book
18:46is identical to another children's book
18:48published in 2005.

19:28After her fight in 2024
19:30Paris Olympics,
19:32Ymir Marshal will focus
19:34on professional boxing.

19:40She said that her ultimate goal
19:42is to win a gold medal in the Olympics.

20:16For Yulo,
20:18the mental health and well-being
20:20of the athletes is important
20:22based on his personal experience.
20:25I make sure
20:27that you don't ask yourself
20:29if you are okay.
20:31I also want to share
20:33the knowledge
20:35that I learned
20:37from my journey.
20:39And of course,
20:40I also want the kids
20:42to have fun.
20:50Meanwhile,
20:52the dream role is fulfilled

21:10The Philippine television
21:12debuted his character
21:14Colonel Yuta Saito
21:16last night.
21:18He will play the role
21:20of a Japanese military official
21:22in World War II.
21:24This is the most challenging
21:25part of the series.
21:27By the way,
21:29the Japanese actress
21:31Maria Ozawa admitted
21:33that she is challenged
21:35in her role in the series.
21:37I had mixed feelings,
21:39of course,
21:41because when it comes to history,
21:43it's really hard
21:45to repeat that
21:47because nobody wants to
21:49remember the bad things
21:51that they had to go through.
21:52That's right.
21:54Maria Ozawa played
21:56Haruka Tanaka,
21:58played by David Licauco.
22:00When she first read the script,
22:02Maria already knew
22:04that she will have a hard time
22:06especially since it's not far
22:08from what happened
22:10in World War II.
22:12She read history books
22:14that helped her
22:16in her characterization.
