00:00We will all be together in Saksi!
00:14Before Saksi, AFP confirmed that the airdrop mission in BRP Teresa Magbanwa has been successful.
00:20We are waiting in Escoda O Sabina Shoal near Palawan.
00:24The Philippine Coast Guard said that the food supply to the ship is already critical.
00:29AFP Chief of Staff General Romeo Browner Jr. used a helicopter to deliver supplies.
00:36According to the spokesperson of the China Coast Guard,
00:39this is a violation of the sovereignty of China as their territory,
00:43which they call the Shanbin Reef.
00:45The ship should leave the area and the situation should not be affected by the Philippines.
00:50The Philippine government, which is in the Exclusive Economic Zone of the country,
00:55was the first to oppose Escoda Shoal.
01:00Another news in Saksi,
01:02the illegal man who sells dog meat was found dead in the entrapment operation in Bustos, Bulacan.
01:09Saksi, this is Claire La Canelao-Dunca of GMA Regional TV.
01:18On Tuesday afternoon, 12 o'clock in the afternoon,
01:20the authorities conducted an entrapment operation in Kamachilihan, Bustos, Bulacan.
01:27The target was a man who was involved in the illegal sale of dog meat or Azucena.
01:31CIDG Bulacan carried out the operation after the Animal Kingdom Foundation, Inc. filed a complaint.
01:38The cash used in the entrapment was repaid to the arrested suspect.
01:42Two live dogs were also captured.
01:46A complaint against the Animal Welfare Act of 2017 and Anti-Rabies Act of 2017 against the suspect is being prepared.
01:54Those people, they came to my house.
01:58They asked me to take care of the dogs because they were having a hard time taking care of them.
02:02The police told me that I just sold the dogs.
02:06I said, I didn't sell the dogs.
02:08I was just lying there.
02:11Three people were arrested in the South Sanitary Camp in Baguio City because of the slaughter of dogs.
02:16One resident reported to the police about the slaughter of dogs.
02:20That's why the operation was immediately carried out to arrest the three suspects yesterday.
02:42The dog meat was confiscated from the custody of the suspects.
02:45Based on the investigation, Azucena was the one who was confiscated.
02:50We brought the dog meat to the veterinary office.
02:56The dog meat has a certification.
02:59Faced with the complaint against the Animal Welfare Act, the suspects, who could be jailed for up to three years,
03:06will also be released.
03:08They have not been released yet.
03:10For Jemmy Integrated News, I'm Claire La Canelo-Dunca of Jemmy Regional TV.
03:15Your Saksi.
03:18The authorities closed down a language training facility
03:21that recruits and sends employees abroad even without a license.
03:28Saksi, this is JP Soriano.
03:34At this resort in Silangkavite, Volant Academy for Language Excellence, Inc. is building a place.
03:40It is a language training and tutorial facility.
03:43Volant Academy is asking for up to P500,000 per student in exchange for a job in Germany.
03:52The problem is that Volant Academy does not have a license to recruit and deploy employees abroad.
03:59That is why their operation is considered illegal.
04:03It's actually a front for a recruitment scheme going to Germany.
04:08It sends workers, apprentices, to Germany without the necessary permits.
04:13The Department of Migrant Workers and Silangkavite Municipality has approved the facility.
04:18They have also placed a closure order.
04:21The operation was postponed due to the tip of several government agencies
04:25that are recommending the facility for its enrollments to partners in Germany
04:30or to every licensed recruitment agency in the Philippines.
04:34We have already talked to the recruitment agencies.
04:37We will call them for possible filing of cases.
04:41Aside from the successful operation,
04:4370 individuals who stay in cottages and pay in the language training facility also arrived at the resort.
04:52We will explain what happened to them.
04:54We will help them to file a complaint.
04:57And to make sure that no students who enroll in this language training facility
05:02will be affected by this,
05:03the DMW contacted the German Embassy in the Philippines and the Bureau of Immigration.
05:08According to the members of Silang LGU,
05:10the owner of the resort does not know that the facility uses this type of business.
05:17Faced with large-scale complaints and syndicated illegal recruitment,
05:21the closed language training facility,
05:23Volant Academy refused to give a permission.
05:28For GMA Integrated News, I am JP Soriano, your witness.
05:348 to 12 weeks of suspension in the regular academic program,
05:38that is what some congressmen believe to be the solution
05:41to the problem of many poor students in reading and mathematics.
05:46Witness, Tina Panganiban Perez.
05:52In a World Bank study,
05:54it was found that every 10-year-old Filipino student
05:58who is not able to read or does not understand how to read,
06:02is out of their age group.
06:04This was solved by House Resolution 1805
06:07by the House Committee on Basic Education and Culture Chair Roman Romulo
06:11and the former Negros Occidental Third District Representative
06:15and now Tested Director General Francisco Benitez.
06:19What do they think?
06:20Based on all assessment tests that we have seen,
06:24and all studies, surveys,
06:26we really need to do intervention programs
06:30during the regular academic calendar.
06:34After school is no longer allowed,
06:36we can no longer do intervention programs
06:39during the regular academic calendar.
06:42We can no longer do intervention programs
06:45during the regular academic calendar.
06:48After school is no longer allowed,
06:50summer is no longer allowed.
06:51DepEd is already conducting consultations
06:54in various sectors about this.
06:56There were some reservations expressed
06:58about the suspension of the academic program.
07:01However, there was willingness to implement an 8-week program
07:06provided that the program is implemented in the first quarter of 2025.
07:12According to Romulo,
07:14they wanted to do an 8-week program
07:16for all 25 million grades 1 to 12 students.
07:20But due to the lack of teachers,
07:23DepEd plans to implement this program
07:25for all grades 7 to 10 students.
07:28For the rest of the students
07:30that are not included in the 1.6 million PISA target,
07:34we'll reiterate to the field the conduct of remediation classes.
07:39Either we pull out students from classes,
07:43those students from classes,
07:45or we add that time after classes.
07:49After 8 weeks,
07:51there will be an assessment for the student.
07:54If he still finds it difficult to read and do mathematics,
07:57he will continue to be helped.
07:59And if he still finds it difficult,
08:01they will continue to the next level.
08:03But when it comes to the next level,
08:05we will continue the intervention.
08:07For GMA Integrated News,
08:09Tina Panganiban Perez is your witness.
08:13After escaping from the authorities,
08:15a car was hit,
08:17including three cars in Quezon City.
08:21Witness, Simeon Sumangi.
08:27Not just one,
08:29but three cars were hit by this driver in Cubao, Quezon City.
08:33This tricycle even hit the side of a vehicle
08:37that was also hit by a passenger van.
08:40At that point, the driver was caught
08:42and was chased by the police inside Rentangay.
08:46According to the PNP Highway Patrol Group,
08:48the vehicle was towed for P3,000 per day
08:53but was not returned.
08:55It was rented on August 26,
08:58and the following day, August 27,
09:01the involved motor vehicle
09:03was posted on the Facebook Marketplace
09:07for sale worth P250,000.
09:11The undercover policeman was able to contact the suspect
09:14who claimed that he was buying a car
09:16that was taken to the entrapment.
09:18According to the HBG,
09:19the suspect used to be involved in carnapping,
09:22but it was his defense.
09:23I was afraid, sir,
09:24because I was mostly assured that it would explode.
09:28If it didn't explode,
09:30what should I do?
09:32That's why I tried to run, sir,
09:34but I regretted what I did.
09:37Sir, I know that what I did was wrong
09:40because of the money,
09:42that's why I did it.
09:44Please forgive me.
09:45Because of the hardship of life,
09:47I am the only one who is taking care of my family.
09:51In violation of our anti-carnapping law
09:53and reckless imprudence
09:56resulting to multiple physical injuries,
10:01we received complaints coming from Baguio City
10:04and then in Ilocanja region.
10:07The same victims also claimed that their cars
10:10were rented by the suspect.
10:13For GMA Integrated News,
10:15Emil Sumangin is your witness.
10:19DILG showed the video of their carnapping
10:22in the compound of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ
10:24in Davao City.
10:26KOJC laughed,
10:28saying that the PNP is already acting recklessly
10:31in violation of the Temporary Protection Order of the court.
10:34From Davao City,
10:36this is Cyril Chavez of GMA Regional TV.
10:40Cyril?
10:42Pia,
10:44this is the 6th day
10:46since the arrest warrants were filed
10:48against Pastor Apolo Kibuloy.
10:50The PNP operation is still ongoing
10:53inside the cathedral and other buildings
10:56KOJC believes that this is a
10:58humiliation to their right
11:00as residents of the compound.
11:07A simple cathedral at first glance,
11:10but when you open one of its walls,
11:13it is a door to a secret pool.
11:20It leads to a large room
11:22that can hold a lot of things.
11:25This is the room of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ founder,
11:28Pastor Apolo Kibuloy.
11:32According to DILG Secretary Benjor Abalos,
11:36as the police continued their search,
11:39they also discovered the basement,
11:42as well as a row of rooms.
11:44The work is not yet finished.
11:46The intricate design of the structures
11:49is considered to be a hindrance
11:52to Kibuloy and his accomplices.
11:55Aside from that,
11:57the police used a laser
11:59before they could enter the KOJC compound.
12:02Barbed wire and live wire are also scattered in the basement.
12:06This is a live wire.
12:09And inside,
12:11hidden tunnels were found in the sand.
12:15Molotov cocktails were also discovered
12:18on the roof deck of the JMC building.
12:20The KOJC compound has a total area of 30 hectares,
12:24and all the structures inside
12:27were one-by-one searched by the police,
12:30according to DILG.
12:32So, it's very difficult, to be honest.
12:34It's very difficult.
12:36In fact, we are getting a plan
12:39from the Office of Engineering of the City of Davao
12:43if this is declared or not.
12:45Because if this is not declared,
12:48what is this?
12:49It's a violation.
12:50If it's not declared,
12:51all the intricate things
12:53that were done and done there
12:56can be hidden.
12:58We went to many places
13:01without revealing the exact location.
13:04But we are confident
13:06that we are getting closer
13:09to the exact location
13:11of what we are looking for.
13:14The KOJC Cathedral and Jose Maria College Building
13:18is now under search of the police
13:20by Pastor Apollo Quibuloy.
13:23They opened a steel door
13:25that was covered in a cemented place.
13:28But instead of seeing the entrance of the bunker,
13:31they were greeted by a foul smell.
13:34According to the KOJC,
13:36the PNP is already making a mess
13:39in their church,
13:41especially since there is a TPO.
13:44The issuance of the TPO
13:47was precisely done
13:49to eliminate PNP's restriction
13:52and control of the premises.
13:54Their presence here.
13:55Because we think
13:57that the waranty has been served.
13:59Pastor Apollo Quibuloy is not here.
14:04Police added more equipment
14:06to the KOJC compound,
14:08including the big blue box
14:11that the KOJC seized.
14:13It did not pass through
14:15the security X-ray.
14:17They also have devices
14:19that are often used
14:20in search and rescue operations.
14:22These can detect vital signs
14:25as well as human movements and voices.
14:28Inside the cathedral,
14:29there is a life and motion tracer.
14:32There is also a life detector equipment.
14:35The KOJC also claimed
14:37the use of a metal detector.
14:39If you're looking for a person,
14:41why a metal detector?
14:43If they're looking for gold,
14:45and if they see gold,
14:47that will be their reason.
14:49Because under Article 12,
14:51Section 2 and 3 of the 1987 Constitution,
14:54the state has the power
14:57to control,
15:00aiming at all natural resources.
15:02The long-range acoustic device is still there,
15:05an equipment that emits
15:07loud sounds
15:09even in remote areas.
15:11It is also used in crowd control.
15:14In this image,
15:15from the KOJC legal team,
15:17it is thought that the police
15:19can see the sound of food
15:21entering the compound.
15:23But when it passed through the scanner,
15:25it turned out to be a concrete cutter.
15:28We received a statement from the PNP
15:30about this.
15:32Until yesterday,
15:33the PNP used other equipment.
15:36Their mouths were shut
15:38about the equipment.
15:40But they insisted
15:42that it was legal.
15:44The ground commander doesn't want to reveal.
15:47This is part of the operational data,
15:51operational information
15:53that could jeopardize
15:55conducting and serving
15:58the warrant of arrest.
16:00The additional police from Northern Mindanao
16:02also arrived in Davao City.
16:04Other parts of Davao Region
16:06and Sucsargen
16:08are helping in the Civil Disturbance Management.
16:11According to the PNP,
16:1360 police were injured
16:15while serving the warrant of arrest
16:17to arrest and defend the accused.
16:20In addition,
16:2128 members of the KOJC
16:23were accused of obstruction of justice
16:26and direct assault.
16:29According to the KOJC,
16:31since last weekend,
16:33less than 16 members were injured
16:36and one confirmed dead.
16:39That's why they called the PNP
16:41to leave their compound
16:43because the pastor didn't come here.
16:47Live from Davao City,
16:49for Jeremy Integrated News,
16:51I am Cyril Chavez
16:53of Jeremy Region.
16:55I am Cyril Chavez
16:57of Jeremy Regional TV,
16:59your witness.
17:02Former Congressman Arnulfo Tevez Jr.
17:04was shocked by the fact that
17:06Timor-Leste did not allow
17:08the motion for reconsideration
17:10of his client.
17:11That's different from the statement
17:13of the Justice Department yesterday
17:15that Tevez did not allow the request
17:17regarding the extradition request
17:19of the Philippines to Timor-Leste.
17:21According to the former judge,
17:23the true denial is their request
17:25for the court of Timor-Leste
17:27not to make a decision
17:29while they have a meeting
17:31with the UN Commission on Human Rights.
17:33This is related to their harassment
17:35and political persecution
17:37of the government of the Philippines
17:39against Tevez.
17:40The DOJ did not make a new statement
17:42regarding the extradition request
17:44of the Philippines to Timor-Leste
17:46or the return of the country to Tevez
17:48to face charges related to the murder
17:50of the former Negros Oriental Governor
17:52Robert Ruel Begaba.
18:19Mapapa Heaven is a place on Earth
18:21as beautiful as a beach in Nueva Vizcaya.
18:23In the town of Cacibo,
18:25you can see the Dimalican Rock
18:27which is perfect for those
18:29who love to take pictures
18:31aside from the breathtaking view
18:33of the mountains.
18:35A unique sea will also meet you.
18:37Not water, but clouds
18:39that you can see.
18:43Not far from here is another beach
18:45that is a swamp for nature lovers.
18:47The area of Idralin Falls
18:49is a paradise for nature lovers
18:51due to the number of trees around
18:53and the fresh air of the water.
18:55The crystal clear water
18:57and the big rocks
18:59are an added attraction.
19:01If you have a rice terraces,
19:03go for it.
19:05The town of Malibcong-Saabra
19:07is known for its rice terraces.
19:09This is the rice field
19:11in Utnap, Barangay.
19:13From the road,
19:15you can see the hectare-hectare farm
19:17which is super perfect
19:19because it is surrounded by
19:21the beautiful mountains and rivers.
19:23It is better to visit it during
19:25the winter months if you want
19:27to see the beautiful rice fields.
19:29But it is not just a rice field
19:31because it shows the hard work
19:33of the residents of the town.
19:35Let's go to Bohol
19:37where the oldest festival
19:39is held in the town.
19:41That is the Hudiaka sa Panglaw
19:432024 for the festival of
19:45Hudiaka sa Panglaw.
19:47In the street dance competition,
19:4910 contingents from different
19:51barangays came together
19:53to wear their colorful costumes.
19:59For GMA Integrated News,
20:01I'm Jarek Pasilyaw of GMA Regional TV.
20:03Good luck!
20:05Cassandra Ong
20:07refused to take part
20:09in the business of the Go family.
20:11When asked by the congressmen,
20:13the boss of Lucky South 99
20:15and Whirlwind Corporation
20:17Ninong Umano,
20:19Cassandra Ong,
20:21is one of them.
20:27One of Cassandra Ong's relatives
20:29was her boyfriend,
20:31Wesley Guo,
20:33brother of Dismissed Bamban Mayor
20:35Alice Guo,
20:37and one of her relatives
20:39who left the country.
20:41She is not her business partner.
21:11What is your business?
21:13Building. Real estate only.
21:15Real estate only?
21:17Yes. I'm not related to any POGO.
21:19Whirlwind was rented
21:21by Lucky South.
21:23Lucky South was rented
21:25by POGO.
21:27Ong admitted that
21:29she has connections with Lucky South 99
21:31and Whirlwind Corporation.
21:33According to her,
21:35Whirlwind and Lucky South 99
21:37only have one boss.
21:39Lucky South is the only one.
21:41Because it's the
21:43one Ren Wu.
21:45Yes, Mr. Chair.
21:47Whirlwind and Lucky South
21:49also talked to each other.
21:51But the name of Mr. Wu
21:53did not appear
21:55in Lucky South.
21:57Yes.
21:59He also decides if his name
22:01will be included or not.
22:03Mr. Wu was mentioned by
22:05Ninong Umano and Cassandra Ong.
22:07The two companies
22:09changed their owners.
22:11Lucky South was ours
22:13and Whirlwind.
22:15But Lucky South was registered first.
22:19Then Whirlwind followed.
22:21According to Ong,
22:23she was only included
22:25because of her love for Wesley.
22:27Where did you meet?
22:29In Malaysia.
22:31With the Goh siblings.
22:33With Wesley?
22:35Yes, because
22:37Wesley messaged me.
22:39From Malaysia,
22:41we went to Singapore.
22:43Singapore?
22:45Yes.
22:47With Alice Goh?
22:49Yes.
22:51Did you talk about business in Singapore?
22:53We did not have a business.
22:55I did not have a business
22:57or my side with the Goh family.
22:59In the last part of the hearing,
23:01the contempt charge against Ong
23:03was removed,
23:05but instead,
23:07it was transferred to the
23:09Correctional Institution for Women in Mandaluyong.
23:11The Senate also asked
23:13to invite Ong to the hearing
23:15next week.
23:17According to Senator Wayne Gatchalian,
23:19Ong, Alice Goh,
23:21and Ninong Ni Ong,
23:23who is Warren Wu,
23:25traveled together.
23:27The flight details that we saw,
23:29Cassandra, Warren Wu,
23:31in my opinion,
23:33puts Alice Goh and Warren Wu
23:35together.
23:37Warren is
23:39the mastermind
23:41of Pogo Hub in Porac.
23:45He built a lot of corporations
23:47here in IT.
23:49He also bought
23:51the land of Whirlwind
23:53worth 1.9 billion pesos.
23:551.3 billion pesos.
23:57But
23:59it did not
24:01fit in the book of
24:03Whirlwind Corporation.
24:05Gatchalian is also lacking
24:07in the testimony of Alice's
24:09sister, Sheila. According to Gatchalian,
24:11Sheila has a share in 10 family businesses.
24:13Among them,
24:15she is the Corporate Secretary.
24:17Over the span of
24:199 to 10 years,
24:2190 plus times,
24:23she has signed
24:25different documents.
24:27She is the center
24:29of the Goh family's activities.
24:31The Department of Justice
24:33wants to answer
24:35Alice Goh's lawyer regarding
24:37her statements that the client
24:39has not yet left the country.
24:41Alice Goh is still here
24:43in the interviews
24:45in the stations on the left and right.
24:47For us,
24:49we need to
24:51bring
24:53to the IBP or the Supreme Court
24:55to see if these lawyers
24:57have an answer.
24:59Atty. Stephen David's gate
25:01did not lie.
25:13Atty. Elmer Galicia
25:15also answered the notary public
25:17where Alice Goh filed a notary
25:19of counter affidavit for the complaint
25:21of qualified human trafficking.
25:23I cannot say
25:25if she is the one I saw.
25:27I asked her,
25:29Mayor Alice Goh,
25:31she told me,
25:33just Alice.
25:35That's what she told me.
25:37Because the document
25:39appears to be falsified,
25:41it is not yet clear
25:43if the panel of prosecutors will accept
25:45Goh's counter affidavit for qualified human trafficking.
25:47Is it possible to resolve
25:49the complaint against her
25:51by the government?
25:53For GMA Integrated News,
25:55Raffy Tima is your witness.
25:59The SUV driver apologized
26:01that he did not stop
26:03even if an MMDA enforcer
26:05approached his vehicle.
26:07He said that someone
26:09ran into his SUV
26:11and he did not notice the enforcer.
26:13This was followed by a motorcycle taxi
26:15that hit him.
26:17The driver denied it and said
26:19he did not hit the SUV.
26:21The enforcer did not accept
26:23the request of apology.
26:25The complaint was filed
26:27to the Land Transportation Office
26:29of the MMDA against the SUV driver.
26:31The complaint will be added
26:33to the attempted homicide
26:35and the MMDA also asked
26:37to suspend or cancel
26:39the license of the driver.
26:41The Philippine National Police
26:43is looking for evidence
26:45regarding what he said
26:47This is related to the statement
26:49of Espinido that there is a possibility
26:51that the police will kill him
26:53in the drug war of the Duterte administration.
26:55The PNP is sad
26:57because all of Espinido's colleagues
26:59are police.
27:01Yet, many of them are still doing
27:03their job properly.
27:05According to the PNP,
27:07their image is affected
27:09in Espinido's statement.

27:43The police is investigating the incident.
27:45As of now, Taeil has not been released.
