00:00We will all be together in this fight!
00:14The search warrant will ask for permission from the court to search the compound of Lucky South 99 Pogo in Purak, Pampanga.
00:22This is because of the allegations that were buried there, some of the buildings.
00:26The compound of Lucky South 99 Pogo was searched by Cassandra Ong.
00:30She went to the Supreme Court because she was asking too many questions from congressmen.
00:37Joseph Moro is the witness.
00:42More than three months after the raid of Lucky South 99 Pogo in Purak, Pampanga,
00:47where the allegations of human trafficking, scam hub and torture were found,
00:52the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission, or PAOC, will apply for a new search warrant.
00:58Our new witnesses found places where the bodies of some foreign nationals were buried.
01:07We went there last week and they taught us.
01:10PAOC's request for a search warrant is for their part of the compound.
01:14The PAOC is now applying for a search warrant.
01:18Now, it is legal for us to search the locations taught by the witnesses.
01:25According to PAOC, some were rescued by the U.N. in Lucky South 99,
01:29directly under Cassandra Ong's responsibility in the Pogo operation.
01:33She has direct knowledge of what's happening here.
01:36That's why she's one of the principals of the investigation.
01:39Ong filed a money laundering complaint with former Bambantarlak Mayor Alice Guo.
01:45As for qualified human trafficking, her lawyers haven't seen the details of the complaint.
01:51Ong was rushed to the hospital on September 4 due to low blood sugar and blood pressure.
01:56But she was able to return to her bed yesterday, according to the medical bulletin of the House of Representatives.
02:02Ong's lawyers filed a petition for a search warrant in the Supreme Court and requested a temporary restraining order
02:09against three committees of the Senate and four committees of the Camera of Quadcom.
02:13She's shouting, she's being ridiculed, she's being intimidated, she's being threatened.
02:20There are very insulting words that are being said to her.
02:24You are her witnesses.
02:26That's the only thing we want to stop. Once the right to remain silent is invoked,
02:31no further questionings should be made.
02:34According to Ong's lawyers, they don't intend to stop the investigations conducted by the Senate and the Camera
02:41and they will continue to listen if necessary.
02:44According to Congressman Dan Fernandez, who is investigating Ong in the Camera,
02:48Ong will not use his right to remain silent,
02:51even though he can invoke the right against self-incrimination, it depends on the question.
02:56But what will he do if he doesn't know what to ask him?
03:00Senator Arisa Ontiveros said that they haven't received the petition yet,
03:05but they are convinced that the Supreme Court will silence the power of the Senate to issue subpoenas and contempt.
03:12According to PAOC, the connection between Ong and Alice Goa has become clearer to the far-fetched bosses of Pogo
03:18in Bambantarlak and Porac, Pampanga.
03:20The far-fetched big bosses of Locke South 99 are the ones who helped Goa hide in Singapore and Indonesia.
03:27This is our allegation and it will be proven by our evidence and testimony that the two of them,
03:34Porac and Bambant, belong to one criminal organization.
03:37Their earnings in Locke South 99 became seed money for the establishment and start-up of the operation in Pampang.
03:46Goa is still in the PNP Custodial Center under the commitment order of Tarlac RTC Branch 109.
03:51But according to the justice secretary, the Bureau of Immigration should have custody of the former mayor.
03:57It's very clear that we have an immigration case here and that's very very important.
04:03Immigration case has a primacy over all others when it comes to Alice Goa.
04:07An immigration case should take precedence over everything.
04:10In fact, immigration case is non-bailable.
04:13Goa has many violations in immigration law.
04:16Fake passport, for being an alien actually, trying to pass yourself off as a Filipino.
04:21I think that's a very major major violation of law within our country.
04:27It's really an immigration matter.
04:30Possible deportation case but considering that she's an illegal alien,
04:34if everything is clear, she should be with the immigration.
04:38The lawyer of Goa has nothing to say about the deportation case.
04:42For GMA Integrated News, I'm Joseph Morong, your witness.
04:47Fifteen local civil registrars have issued incorrect birth certificates to foreign nationals,
04:54according to the Philippine Statistics Authority.
04:56It came out earlier in the Senate hearing regarding the budget of NEDA,
05:01where the PSA is an attached agency.
05:03The PSA was the first one to issue an incorrect birth certificate to dismissed mayor Alice Goa.
05:11And to stop this, the PSA said that the late registrants should be forced to apply for the national ID
05:18so that they can personally face and get the biometrics.
05:22Late registrants are those who registered after 30 days of pregnancy.
05:28According to the census, 3.7 million Filipinos have not yet registered and do not have a birth certificate.
05:35Families were evacuated to Canlaon City in Negros Oriental due to the eruption of the volcano Canlaon.
05:41Even other places near the volcano are preparing for their evacuation.
05:47Witness, Aileen Pedrezo of GMA Regional TV.
05:52Some families are preparing to evacuate to La Carlota City, Negros Occidental.
05:57Because the volcano Canlaon is erupting again.
06:00According to some residents, they are still feeling the earthquake yesterday.
06:05If you are pregnant, why are you so angry?
06:08Even if you are pregnant, you should be careful.
06:11If you are pregnant, you should be careful.
06:14Four barangays in La Carlota are being monitored now
06:18Four barangays in La Carlota are being monitored now.
06:20Because it is close to the volcano, classes in the barangays are suspended.
06:25In the town of La Castillana, residents are also preparing to evacuate.
06:39According to the LGU, residents are being reminded
06:43to avoid entering the 4-kilometer permanent danger zone of the volcano.
06:47Residents in four barangays in Canlaon City are being forced to evacuate.
06:52More than 100 families were brought to various evacuation centers.
06:57Classes were also canceled and tourist spots in the area were closed.
07:01According to the latest data of PHIVOX,
07:03337 volcanic earthquakes were recorded within the past 24 hours.
07:08Almost 10,000 tons of sulphur dioxide were released by the volcano.
07:13It is still under Alert Level 2.
07:16Residents are being reminded to be extra careful and to wear a face mask.
07:32For GMA Integrated News, Eileen Pedrezo of GMA Regional TV,
07:36here is your Saksi.
07:39Vice President Sara Duterte insisted that the Office of the Vice President should continue to work
07:44even if there is no budget to be given to them.
07:46Some congressmen are demanding that the budget of the Office of the Vice President should be discussed.
07:53Saksi, this is Sandra Aguinaldo.
07:57Now that the budget of the Office of the Vice President is still in the chamber,
08:01Vice President Sara Duterte said that they are ready.
08:04They are ready if the budget of the Office of the Vice President is still in the chamber.
08:10Vice President Duterte did not attend the OVP budget deliberation yesterday
08:15after the congressmen were able to respond to the last hearing on this issue.
08:20We also heard that there is defunding.
08:23The budget given to the Office of the Vice President is just a possible peso.
08:28We are ready, I am ready, to work in the Office of the Vice President
08:32even if there is no budget.
08:35Our operations are small.
08:37That's why we are able to work even if there is no budget.
08:41The Vice President also mentioned the planned impeachment against her,
08:45which is connected to the issue of confidential funds.
08:48She also said that the Speaker Martin Romualdez and the Makabayan Bloc have a grudge
08:54to attack her family.
08:56Because of Martin Romualdez's desire not to attack her
09:00and because of his desire to support the Makabayan and the NPA,
09:05he listened.
09:08And what he did was to remove the budget.
09:13And so that it is not obvious that they are attacking me,
09:16they also removed the other departments of their confidential funds.
09:26They are forcing me to do what they say is an impeachment against me.
09:34That's why it's not new that they are talking about impeachment.
09:39It is part of their plan against me.
09:44In 2024, the Office of the Vice President removed confidential funds from the Mamba Batas.
09:50After the first use of OVP in 2022,
09:54within just 11 days,
09:56there is no irregularity in the use of confidential funds.
10:01The Commission on Audit is still waiting for the document that will support
10:05how the OVP spent part of the confidential funds,
10:09which amounted to P73 million.
10:12The OVP said that it will pass it first.
10:15We listened to Speaker Romualdez's reaction again,
10:18but he did not respond.
10:19The House Appropriations Committee Chairman and I,
10:23Bicol Partylist Representative Zaldico,
10:25first said that the Vice President said that Romualdez controlled the national budget.
10:33He explained that there is a process of passing it and many Mamba Batas are investigating it.
10:39ACT-Teachers Partylist Representative Castro denied
10:43that the Makabayan Block is colluding with Romualdez
10:46to impeach Duterte.
10:48But the possibility of impeachment may result from the first misuse of confidential funds.
10:55He will continue to look into the legal aspects of the impeachment
10:59to prevent any abuse of the power and integrity of the country.
11:04Other congressmen also defended the camera.
11:07It's really her fault.
11:09How? Because she's a head of agency.
11:11It is her responsibility and accountability to explain.
11:16The House of Representatives' mandate is to pass the budget that is proposed every year.
11:25For GMA Integrated News, Sandra Aguinaldo is your witness.
11:32More than P100 million in aid for fishermen and fishermen was given to Ilocos Norte.
11:38It was given first by President Bongbong Marcos
11:40along with the celebration of the birth anniversary of former President Ferdinand Marcos Sr. in the town of Batac.
11:46The fishermen and fishermen in Ilocos Norte were severely affected
11:50due to the spread of El Niño and bad weather.
11:54The increase in electricity bill of Miralco is effective this month.
11:57According to Miralco, the increase in electricity bill is more than P15 per kilowatt hour this September.
12:03That's equivalent to an additional P31 in the total bill of the average family consuming 200 kilowatt hours.
12:10The main reason for the increase in the season charge this month
12:16is the higher ancillary service charges
12:20following the reopening of the reserve market on August 5.
12:27The task will continue until next month at P35 per kilowatt hour.
12:34The LRT-2 flight is limited from Antipolo to Vima this morning.
12:39Last morning at 7 a.m., the Light Rail Transport Authority announced the limited flight
12:44and some passengers were paralyzed.
12:46The LRTA explained that the rectifier No. 1 or breaker had a problem
12:50so the flight was limited.
12:52They asked for an explanation for what happened.
12:55The normal operation of the LRT-2 returned at 2 p.m.
12:59For GMI Integrated News, I'm Nico Juage, your witness.
13:04Before the witness, the Department of Health confirmed that there are 15 cases of mpox in the Philippines.
13:1011 are in Metro Manila and 3 are in Calabarzon.
13:14One is in Cagayan Valley.
13:16The MMDA will conduct a thorough information dissemination
13:20and information campaign on the disease to prevent it from spreading.
13:25The MMDA also plans to adopt a new ordinance in San Juan City
13:29on prohibiting swimming in the river to prevent leptospirosis.
13:34They will send a police officer to formally prohibit it,
13:37but they still need to issue their own ordinance on every payment for punishment and fine.
13:44The Senate Committee will request the court to allow Pastor Apolo Q. Buloy to appear in the Senate hearings.
13:51There are new allegations of sexual abuse against Pastor Apolo Q. Buloy
13:55from members of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.
13:58Witness, Ian Cruz.
14:03The new accusations of sexual abuse against Pastor Apolo Q. Buloy
14:09were reported to the police while they were conducting an operation
14:13in the Kingdom of Jesus Christ compound in Davao City.
14:17The victims were members of a group of women called Pastoral,
14:23or those in the inner circle of Q. Buloy.
14:26Twelve-year-old girls were the youngest among them.
14:30The parents of the victims themselves approached the police.
14:34According to PNP chief, Rommel Francisco Marbil,
14:37the victims admitted that they experienced an alarming pattern of sexual abuse.
14:46They are now investigating the evidence to strengthen the case against Q. Buloy.
14:52They were also victimized by Pastor Q. Buloy, allegedly.
14:57They were also abused, allegedly.
14:59Q. Buloy's lawyer, Atty. Israelito Torion,
15:02has yet to comment on this issue
15:05because PNP has yet to provide clear details.
15:10There were hearings in the Senate
15:12regarding the allegations of sexual abuse against some members of the KOJC.
15:17Q. Buloy did not attend, so he was contempted this March.
15:21His questions are now collected.
15:24How was it set up?
15:25That the people he recruited as believers in him and his kingdom
15:32were abused by women, even minors,
15:37by men, but he also abused them.
15:40He forced them to convert,
15:42so that he could sustain his own livelihood.
15:48Effectively, he human-trafficked them in different parts of the Philippines
15:53and even in other countries.
15:55Q. Buloy's case was planned in the Senate.
15:58He just wanted to know the next hearing
16:01of the Committee on Women, Children, Family Relations, and Gender Equality.
16:05I will write to the Supreme Court
16:09so that maybe he will also be here
16:12as a follow-up to the Senate's standing warrant for him.
16:16GMA Integrated News reported that
16:18Q. Buloy's case will be heard by his lawyer,
16:22but they did not respond to our texts and calls.
16:26Senator Bato de la Rosa also wanted to know
16:29the details of Q. Buloy's case this past Sunday.
16:32I was not able to understand the exact details of his surrender.
16:38You are just inside.
16:40That's it. You are just inside.
16:43If you surrendered, how did you involve ISAP?
16:46There was no ISAP inside.
16:48Right?
16:49You don't need ISAP to enter the compound of QGC
16:53for you to surrender.
16:55You will be allowed by the police to control the area.
16:58Q. Buloy was charged with child and sexual abuse
17:01and his accomplices were accused
17:03in Quezon City RTC Branch 106.
17:06The court ordered that
17:09Pastor and Crescente Canada
17:12be jailed in the Quezon City Jail.
17:15In the female dorm,
17:17Jacqueline Roy, Ingrid Canada, and Silvia Semanyes will be jailed.
17:22It depends on the security assessment
17:24if they will be involved with another person deprived of liberty.
17:28The treatment, how we classify,
17:31if it's SELDA or treatment in an ordinary BDL,
17:35it's the same for him because it's also an ordinary BDL
17:38in terms of the budget.
17:40For now, the accused remains in the PNP Custodial Center
17:44because of the PNP's motion.
17:46Q. Buloy's camp would have preferred house arrest
17:49or to be transferred to the AFP's custody
17:52which is against the Department of National Defense.
17:56The AFP's facilities have strict security protocols
17:59so suspects with criminal cases cannot be jailed.
18:04The DOJ has ordered the court to grant it.
18:08As far as I remember,
18:11those who are being given house arrest
18:13are those who did not resist
18:18or agreed to be arrested.
18:21For GMA Integrated News, Ian Cruz is your witness.
18:26A jeepney driver confronted his fellow driver in Iloilo City
18:30while holding a sharp knife.
18:32Kim Salinas of GMA Regional TV witnessed the fight.
18:42In the middle of the road,
18:43these two choppers fought in Iloilo City.
18:46Romulo Trabucon's traditional jeepney chopper
18:49was holding a knife.
18:51Mark Lagradante's modernized PUJ
18:53was being passed by a man with a baton.
18:57Their routes are the same in Iloilo City and vice versa.
19:01According to Lagradante,
19:02Trabucon blocked him several times
19:05from inside and outside of a mall.
19:07When it came to the fight,
19:08he took a road near them
19:10and confronted the jeepney driver.
19:13When I arrived here in Japan,
19:16I was already targeted
19:19when we were fighting.
19:21I was already prepared.
19:27I was already prepared.
19:31But Trabucon was the one who attacked him.
19:35He defended his knife
19:37when the jeepney driver approached him.
19:40I was already prepared.
19:42I was already prepared.
19:44I was already prepared.
19:46I was already prepared.
19:48I was already prepared.
19:50The police and barangay responded immediately.
19:53Both of them were also prepared.
19:55Trabucon's knife was already held by the police.
20:00In Ligao City, Albay,
20:01there is a dead baby in the compound of an elementary school.
20:05According to the police,
20:06two students saw the baby boy
20:09at the foot of the Ligao City Health Office
20:11was only 2 days old.
20:13They are still investigating who threw the baby.
20:17For GMA Integrated News,
20:19I am Kim Salinas of GMA Regional TV.
20:22Here is your witness.
20:26There is no exception in the entrapment operation
20:28of women who are carrying out abortions in Bulacan.
20:31Witness is John Consulta.
20:38A group of people on social media
20:41allegedly promoted their super safe service
20:45to drop the baby in their abortion clinic.
20:49They even posted testimonials
20:52of their clients who became satisfied.
20:55So when it comes to the entrapment
20:57of the NBI Organized International Crime Division,
20:59they are no longer there.
21:01The mother of a 47-year-old and 20-year-old
21:04was arrested in her house in Baliwag, Bulacan.
21:07What is your name?
21:08Yes, please come with us.
21:10You are the one who was arrested, right?
21:11No, I am the one who was arrested.
21:13I am the one who was arrested.
21:15No, please come with us.
21:16No, I am the one who was arrested.
21:18You are the one who was arrested, right?
21:20Yes.
21:21Who will make the decision?
21:23Aside from Mark Mani,
21:24the equipment used by mothers
21:26to carry out abortion services
21:28has also been tampered with.
21:30It is really scary because
21:32the equipment or tools they use
21:36are unsanitized.
21:39You can see that some of them are still alive.
21:43They are still alive.
21:44The bed they use is just a foam bed.
21:49Maybe their clients have a tendency
21:53to have an infection or tetanus
21:56because the equipment is really unsanitized.
21:58To avoid being caught by them,
22:01the suspects are doing a discard.
22:04You will not go directly to the area
22:07where they will do it.
22:08You will follow them first.
22:10They will set a place for you to go
22:12and you will follow them.
22:13Just like here,
22:14they will take you to a mall
22:16and you will follow them there.
22:18Aside from the P20,000 payment,
22:20the suspects have extra charges
22:22against their clients.
22:24The payment is P20,000
22:26and they asked if the fetus
22:29will be delivered.
22:32When we said no,
22:34they asked for an additional P3,000
22:38for the delivery of the fetus.
22:41Additional P3,000 for the delivery of the fetus.
22:42Additional P3,000.
22:43Plus P2,000 for the after-meds.
22:48They asked for P25,000 for everything.
22:51We are still trying to catch the panic of the suspects
22:53who are looking for a complaint
22:55on illegal practice of medicine,
22:56violation of FDA law,
22:58illegal abortion in relation to cybercrime law.
23:00For GMA Illegality News,
23:02John Consulta is your witness.
23:07The work is not yet finished,
23:09but a lot has already been started.
23:11That is the message
23:12of the newly elected Bureau of Immigration Commissioner,
23:14Attorney Norman Tancingo.
23:16Tancingo is happy that there are changes
23:19despite his limitations.
23:21For example,
23:22the B.I.A. did its job
23:23in controlling the entry and exit borders of the country
23:26and in stopping human trafficking
23:28to Filipinos abroad.
23:30Tancingo also gave his associates
23:32in the agency
23:33and in the Department of Justice
23:35because they were able to implement
23:37the reform in the B.I.A.
23:45The senators in Mexico
23:47protested violently.
23:49They knocked on the door
23:51and forced them to enter inside.
23:53This is a form of reform
23:55in their constitution.
23:57And because of the chaos,
23:58the debate was stopped.
24:00The outgoing president of Mexico
24:02proposed the constitutional reform
24:04that can be implemented
24:05through the election by popular vote.
24:07The election of judges and magistrates
24:10as well as those in the Supreme Court.
24:15We can already feel the effect of the trough
24:16or the extension of the storm outside the P.A.R.
24:19that has an international name,
24:20Bebingka.
24:21At the same time,
24:22there is a continuous flood
24:24and a chance of localized thunderstorms.
24:27According to the forecast,
24:28the storm is likely to enter the P.A.R. on Friday.
24:32It has a low chance of landfall,
24:34but it will intensify
24:36in the next few days.
24:38According to the data of Metro Weather,
24:40it will rain tomorrow in a large part of the country,
24:43especially in the afternoon.
24:45Be alert in the event of a flood or landslide
24:47because the rain will be heavy
24:49in many places.
24:50As for those who will experience it,
24:52the entire Luzon and Visayas,
24:54Zamboanga Peninsula,
24:55Parm,
24:56Northern Mindanao,
24:57and Soxerget.
24:59In Metro Malena,
25:00the chance of rain is also high tomorrow.
25:04Let's go!
25:10Julian San Jose once again proved
25:12that he is Asia's Limitless Star.
25:15Because in just 9 minutes,
25:17he was able to compose a song.
25:21Pupunta palang
25:26Pupunta palang
25:32That happened during his interview
25:34in Fast Talk with Boy Abunda.
25:36According to Julian,
25:37he has been thinking about the melody of the song for a long time
25:40and he was able to compose the lyrics
25:42during the show.
25:43Until now,
25:44the Limitless Star has been very busy
25:46in his two shows.
25:48Hosted for the 6th season of The Clash
