00:00A suspect has been arrested for a hold-up in Manila.

00:03He admitted that he was targeted by his accomplices, the Indian Nationals, who are asking for a loan.

00:09Jomar Apresto reports, Exclusive.

00:16You'd think that these two men are customers in a street vendor in Binondo, Manila.

00:21But they were actually able to hold up an Indian National who is asking for his loan in the area of Soler.

00:29In this case, the suspects were also arrested,

00:32they were stopped by a jeep in the area of Masangkay.

00:36Their plan failed because there was a police who was guarding the area.

00:41The suspects immediately appeared after they removed their helmets to hide.

00:47Eventually, the police caught the angkas who was firing a gun in the area of Soler.

00:54It was only after the hold-up that there was a commotion.

00:58That's why the suspect fired a gun before they ran away with his accomplice.

01:02They immediately reviewed our CCTVs and they saw that the description fit.

01:08Even the jacket he was wearing when he was arrested, he was still wearing that while they were holding up.

01:15The suspect was caught with an unlicensed gun and a motorcycle that was also stolen according to the police.

01:23The motorcycle that he was carrying was also stolen after he was holding up a woman who was also asking for a loan sometime in April in Barangay Olimpia, Makati.

01:36According to the police, the owner of the motorcycle was arrested by the suspects.

01:42There were two men who approached me.

01:44Two men?

01:45Yes. One was behind me.

01:47The other one told me to get out of the car because there was a gunshot.

01:52When I gave him the money, he took the motorcycle.

01:56Aside from Metro Manila, the suspects are also involved in hold-ups in other provinces.

02:03Their usual target is Indian nationals who are asking for loans.

02:08We were looking around.

02:09When we saw a motorcycle, we were looking if it was going to stop.

02:13When it stopped, my partner approached me and told me not to move or I will kill you.

02:20He blamed his actions.

02:23I was just with the person I was with inside.

02:26Of course, he told me that it was a beautiful place so I was attacked.

02:33According to the MPD, the suspect is facing multiple complaints including an alarm and scandal,

02:40violation of the Comprehensive Law on Firearms and Ammunition, robbery hold-up, and carnapping.

02:45His accomplice is also pointing out that the case is now closed.

02:50The police urged the other victims of the suspect to turn to their office to file further complaints.

02:59Joe Merapresto reporting for GMA Integrated News.

03:08Residents were scared because of the violence in Buhawi in Barangay Asin East, Malasike, Pangasinan.

03:19In the cellphone video, you can see some men holding the glass door of a house

03:24so that the strong wind cannot open or block it.

03:27It took almost a minute for the glass door to be cut.

03:31Six houses were destroyed.

03:33One of those houses was removed from the roof and walls and the items were scattered.

03:37The affected family is currently living with their relatives.

03:41Some trees were also cut down.

03:43Buhawi is one of the places that was hit by a severe thunderstorm.

03:48Although the weather will be hot again for a while,

03:51in most of the country, including Pangasinan and Metro Manila,

03:54thunderstorms are still possible later in the day or night.

03:59Based on the rainfall forecast of Metro Weather,

04:02heavy to intense rain is expected in some places that can cause floods or landslides.

04:07So be alert, fellow citizens.

04:09As for the Easter list of places that will have a high chance of rain today in Eastern Visayas,

04:14Karaga, and Davao region, based on the forecast,

04:17the new storm in the Pacific Ocean has no direct effect on the weather in the country.

04:23This is a tropical storm with an international name, Shan-Shan.

04:26The chance of a so-called storm entering the P.A.R. is low.

04:33A house was burned in a barangay in Quezon City earlier this evening.

04:37This is the news of James Agustin.

04:43This is how big the fire that woke up the residents of Yusafe Road in Barangay Holy Spirit, Quezon City last evening.

04:50The fire spread quickly to the nearby houses made of light materials.

04:55The first alarm was raised to the Bureau of Fire Protection.

04:58They responded in the shop fire truck,

05:00as well as the fire volunteers.

05:02It took almost 30 minutes before the fire was completely extinguished.

05:06According to the resident, Juna, they were shocked when they saw the big fire.

05:10Only a few items and clothes were saved.

05:13They shouted that the house was on fire.

05:15But when we saw that it was already big, we didn't have a chance.

05:20We just let the children stay inside.

05:23There were children outside.

05:27They are very thankful that they were able to save seven children.

05:31That's how it is, sir.

05:33It's hard. We have nothing to do.

05:35What's important is that we were not injured.

05:38The resident, Michael, was injured in his leg.

05:42He jumped with his wife from the window of their burning house.

05:46They were not able to save a single item.

05:48Someone shouted that it was on fire.

05:52When my wife opened the door, the fire was already there.

05:56My son jumped with his wife.

05:59He jumped from the window.

06:02According to the residents of the barangay,

06:04almost seven houses were burned,

06:06affecting 12 families.

06:08Meanwhile, they continue to the covered court of the barangay

06:11where modular tents were built.

06:13The BFP is still investigating the cause of the fire

06:16and the overall significance of the incident.

06:18James Agustin reporting for JMA Integrated News.

06:27The Quezon City LGU has monitored the 41 close contacts

06:30of the man who tested positive for Mpax or Monkeypox.

06:33The World Health Organization does not recommend

06:36mass vaccination against it.

06:39Bernadette Reyes reports.

06:45Two establishments in Quezon City are being targeted

06:48after a 33-year-old man who was infected with Mpax

06:52was sent there.

06:54After the man was infected with Mpax on August 8,

06:57he went to a spa on Rodriguez Avenue on August 11

07:01to get a massage.

07:03On August 15, he was taken to a dermatology clinic in Luzon.

07:08In the doctor's assessment,

07:10the patient also found skin lesions

07:13on his face, arms, back, and other parts of his body.

07:18Last week, the specimen came out positive

07:23for Mpax.

07:3041 close contacts are being monitored.

07:33Out of these, 10 are from the spa.

07:3527 are clients of the spa.

07:38Four more are possible suspects.

07:4128 of the close contacts were quarantined until September 1

07:46and are considered Type 1 or have a higher chance of getting infected.

07:50The spa was closed due to the expired mayor's permit

07:53and no sanitary permit, environmental clearance,

07:57and fire inspection certificate.

07:59The Type 1 close contact is critical.

08:02This is the masseur who handled the patient

08:07and also the clients who were exposed to our case.

08:13None of them have exhibiting symptoms at this time.

08:18According to the Kasan City Epidemiology and Surveillance Unit,

08:21close contacts are being monitored every day.

08:25It is important to detect symptoms early

08:29to isolate and avoid the spread of Mpax.

08:33President Bongbong Marcos ordered the government agencies

08:37to continue monitoring against Mpax,

08:40particularly in vulnerable sectors.

08:44According to the World Health Organization,

08:46the symptoms of Mpax include skin lesions,

08:49fever, rashes, sore throat, head, back, and joints,

08:54and swelling of lymph nodes.

08:57On June 26, almost 1,000 new cases of Mpax were declared,

09:03the most in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in Africa.

09:07Last week, the WHO declared a global public health emergency.

09:13Following the outbreak of the new strain of Mpax,

09:16Clade 1B, which is easier to spread through close contact.

09:21The DOH said that the case of Mpax in the Philippines is an old variant of the virus.

09:26It is not as alarming as Clade 1B.

09:31Mpax is not the new COVID.

09:34Regardless of whether it's Mpax Clade 1,

09:37behind the ongoing outbreak in East Central Africa,

09:41or Mpax Clade 2,

09:43behind the 2022 outbreak that initially impacted Europe

09:47and has continued to circulate in Europe since.

09:50The WHO also does not recommend mass vaccination against Mpax.

09:56Only those at risk are recommended to be vaccinated,

09:59such as those in close contact.

10:01We don't have a vaccine available yet.

10:03Even our neighbors should get vaccinated.

10:08If there is no vaccine, we need to detect the cases early

10:14to isolate and quarantine the close contacts.
