00:00The two Filipinos caregivers are in jail after their employer fired them
00:04even though their contract in South Korea is not over yet.
00:08They plan to study the Caregiver Pilot Program in South Korea and the Philippines.
00:14Watch out for Marizomal.
00:20Like other overseas Filipino workers,
00:23the registered midwife and caregiver Arlene dreams of going abroad
00:27for a better opportunity.
00:29The country she wants to go to is South Korea, a popular destination for many Filipinos.
00:35It's a big dream for me.
00:37I also want to go there because I heard that South Korea is beautiful.
00:44But her dream of working in South Korea is possible in the future.
00:49The Philippines and South Korea are currently studying
00:52the six-month pilot program for caregivers.
00:56The two Filipinos together with 100 caregivers were arrested
01:01after they were first sent to South Korea.
01:03According to the Department of Migrant Workers,
01:05the two caregivers left their jobs even in the first month of their contract.
01:10They are having a hard time because they are overworked.
01:13They saw a job that offered employment as a cleaner.
01:18So that's where they were arrested, in their new employer.
01:22For now, the two are still in South Korean immigration in Busan
01:26while the investigation is still ongoing.
01:28It's a bit confusing in the sense that we have to go through the process
01:31of investigating the two.
01:33In terms of timeline, we can't answer yet
01:36because we don't know when their investigation will end.
01:40The Philippines and South Korea considered the isolated case
01:44as what happened to the two caregivers who left.
01:46For now, the DMW and the Korean Ministry of Employment and Labor
01:52are working together to solve the issues and problems
01:56that arose in the first part of the agreement.
01:57According to the DMW, the two Filipinos will receive legal assistance.
02:01If they are deported, they will also receive financial assistance
02:04from the Action Fund of the DMW for the distressed workers.
02:09For GMA Integrated News, I'm Maris Umali.
02:12Saksi.
02:14The mayor of Porak, Pampanga and 10 local officials of the government
02:20are being investigated for giving a permit to illegal pogo in Porak, Pampanga.
02:26The mayor of Porak has previously denied giving a special treatment to the pogo.
02:30Saksi, Salima Refran.
02:36Six preventive suspensions were imposed by the ombudsman
02:40to Mayor Jaime Capil of Porak, Pampanga
02:42and 10 local officials of the government of Porak.
02:45This is while investigating the complaint filed by the DILG
02:49on the payment of gross neglect of duty
02:52related to the operation of the Lucky South 99 Pogo in Porak.
02:55If proven, they may be removed from their positions.
03:00According to the documents from the ombudsman,
03:02Capil was complained because he was being forced to go
03:04as a signatory of the business permit
03:07to investigate the irregularities in the documents of Lucky South 99.
03:12Capil was forced to go for three consecutive years
03:15as a permit for the pogo,
03:16even though it was not up to the requirements.
03:19Capil did not immediately take action
03:21to revoke the business permit of Lucky South 99
03:24when its PagCor license would expire.
03:27He also did not immediately take action
03:29on the allegations of criminal activities in Compao.
03:32We are still trying to get a copy of the Porak LGU.
03:36It is still unclear who will be the acting mayor.
03:39Capil has previously denied the allegations of special treatment
03:43in Lucky South 99.
03:45In the case of Dismissed Bamban Mayor Alice Wu,
03:48the Bureau of Immigration is continuing its investigation,
03:51particularly on private airplanes.
03:53This was followed by a complaint to the Senate yesterday
03:56that it was not a boat,
03:57but that it was an airplane that Guo was driving away from the Philippines.
04:01What we are doing is coordinating with our counterparts
04:05to get the manifest of the aircraft that he was driving.
04:09The possibility of them passing through a private airstrip is increasing.
04:14Meanwhile, the authorities are being careful
04:16with what Mary Ann Maslog is saying
04:18when it comes to the Senate hearing on the illegal ship yesterday.
04:22Maslog is one of the accused
04:25of the 24 million pesos textbook scam in 1998
04:29and was declared dead by her lawyer in Sandigad, Bayan.
04:34Maslog, who used the alias Jessica Francisco,
04:37was taken by the police as an asset
04:40to help Guo in his case
04:42before he was arrested in Indonesia.
04:45But Senator Ronald Bato de la Rosa's allegation
04:48is that someone ordered Maslog from Malacanang
04:51to get involved with former President Duterte in the illegal ship.
04:55It's too early to tell.
04:56Maybe later, he will have something to say.
04:58Well, you know,
05:00when a person has no credibility,
05:02can you still feel a sense of trust?
05:05Now, he's just in the middle of an investigation.
05:07She will never be a credible witness
05:09involved in a textbook scam.
05:12And she was trying to bribe officials
05:16in Malacanang in 1999.
05:19The PNP is defending the conversation
05:23of the Intelligence Group Chief
05:24with a person who has a dubious record.
05:27We don't choose where the information comes from,
05:31but we have to vet and validate
05:33if the information we get
05:35and even the source of information
05:37is reliable
05:39and there's a semblance of truth in what she's saying.
05:42There is no deal whatsoever with Ms. Maslog.
05:45The GMA Integrated News is still trying to get hold of Ms. Maslog.
05:51For GMA Integrated News, Sally Marafra, your eyewitness.
05:55The PNP is trying to get hold of Ms. Maslog.
06:05The police are looking for Shariff Aguac Maguindanao del Sur
06:09who was shot and stabbed
06:11on the last day of the investigation
06:12by the Certificate of Candidacy.
06:14A member of the Barangay Peacekeeping Action Team
06:17was killed in the incident.
06:18Six people were injured,
06:20including a police officer and a local government employee.
06:23The PNP is looking for a failure of intelligence,
06:27but a police escort was able to deploy
06:30the COC's filing.
06:33Will the issues with the Workers' and Peasants' Party, or WPP, be resolved?
06:37After it was revealed that there are two factions in the party.
06:40Based on their documents,
06:42two of them filed an authorized signatory for the party.
06:46One group is the one accounted for by Atty. Sunny Matula,
06:50who first said that he did not know
06:52who signed the Certificate of Nomination and Acceptance, or CONA,
06:57of Pastor Apolo Quibaloy.
06:58The other group is the one
07:00who introduced the chairman of WPP, Robert Pascual.
07:04Jimmy Integrated News spoke to Pascual
07:06and said that he signed the CONA of Quibaloy.
07:10According to Comelec, this can also be resolved by two factions.
07:15It is possible to raise the alert level 4 in Lebanon
07:17if the mandatory repatriation is needed
07:20amid rising tensions between Israel and Hezbollah.
07:24And President Marcos, who is currently visiting the ASEAN Summit,
07:27is preparing the various government agencies.
07:31From Lao PDR in Silay,
07:34Ivan Mayrina.
07:36Ivan?
07:38Pia, after the formal opening of the ASEAN Summit this morning,
07:43the President added an important point
07:46for the government agencies to prepare
07:49in case our fellow countrymen are forced to flee
07:52from the chaos in the Middle East.
08:03In the middle of more than a year of tensions
08:05between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon,
08:07more than 2,000 people were killed
08:09according to the government of Lebanon.
08:12Most of them died within two weeks
08:15following the airstrikes in Beirut and other places.
08:19In the middle of his participation in the ASEAN Summit here in Lao PDR,
08:23President Bongbong Marcos was invited to the DFA and Defense Department
08:27to discuss the preparation in case the Filipinos
08:30are forced to flee or have a mandatory evacuation in Lebanon.
08:33According to the Defense Department,
08:35a diplomatic clearance is being waited for the repatriation.
08:38We are now going to evacuate our people
08:41by whatever means, by air or by sea.
08:44Let's make all the preparations so that all our assets are ready.
08:49As soon as the embassy gives us the all-clear
08:54and they say that our people can go,
08:56we will immediately evacuate them
08:58so that they won't have to wait for a long time
09:01in a dangerous area.
09:04The President also attended the bilateral meeting
09:06of the Vietnam Prime Minister Pham Minh Ching
09:08to focus on improving the relationship between the Philippines and Vietnam
09:11in agriculture and agriculture.
09:13Vietnam is one of the first countries
09:15to be taken as a neighbor to the Philippines.
09:17But there is also a clear difference between the two countries.
09:21Both have a part of the South China Sea
09:22that is part of their Exclusive Economic Zone
09:25that is being occupied by China
09:27and has already arrived in its vicinity.
09:30There is an ongoing agreement on incident prevention
09:32between the Philippines and Vietnam,
09:34a mechanism to avoid tension in the claimant countries.
09:38But will a single agreement be enough
09:40for the neighbors of the Philippines in ASEAN?
09:43Before taking office,
09:45President Marcos gave the importance of a single look at ASEAN
09:49on important issues in the region,
09:51especially in Sigalot in the South China Sea.
09:53A decade of building a Code of Conduct
09:56but until now, it has not been completed.
09:58The progress of consensus or agreement
10:01is still the theme of the Prime Minister of the Lao PDR
10:03in his speech in front of fellow leaders earlier.
10:07In the midst of a changing and changing situation,
10:09the position of the Philippines remains
10:11and will continue to follow the international law.
10:14I didn't specify the details,
10:16but that's the general principle of the adherence to the rule of law
10:23and the UNCLOS.
10:26And just as a general thing,
10:29we'll have a chance to get into more detail
10:32maybe in the next couple of days.
10:34PIA Keynote Speaker
10:39Meanwhile, PIA Keynote Speaker tonight
10:42is President Bongbong Marcos
10:43at the ASEAN Business and Investment Summit.
10:46He emphasized in his speech
10:48what the government is doing
10:50to make the country business-friendly.
10:52And he particularly urged the leaders
10:55to invest in green metal, battery manufacturing,
10:58data centers, and agribusiness.
11:01And live from Vianchan, Lao PDR,
11:04for GMA Integrated News,
11:06I'm Ivan May Riranginyong.
11:08Saksi!
11:10The newly renovated house of the President of Malacanang,
11:14the President's House, was praised by the media.
11:16Its design is really relaxing.
11:19Saksi! Jonathan is here.
11:25This is where the President lives
11:27inside Malacanang Park.
11:30And for the first time ever,
11:32it caught the eye of the media.
11:35This is the newly renovated President's House.
11:45Just entering the compound gate
11:47makes you feel like you're on vacation.
11:50It feels like you're at a resort.
11:53But that's really the intention
11:56when designing this presidential residence.
12:00So that when the President comes home from work,
12:03he can relax.
12:06The First Lady really liked it.
12:07She said,
12:08Conrad, I want you to make it feel like a resort.
12:11I said, what kind of architecture?
12:13She said, like Asian modern.
12:16First Lady Liza Araneta Marcos
12:20has a personal touchdown on the design of the house.
12:22She was the one who chose the furniture here,
12:25most of which she bought in Pampanga.
12:28But the part that the First Lady used a lot
12:32is the pool area.
12:33Because every morning,
12:35she goes swimming as an exercise.
12:38The President also works out regularly
12:41in his own home gym
12:42that has a cardio machine and weights.
12:45Every Sunday, his family gathers here
12:48to exercise and hang out.
12:50Only the two of them live here.
12:52But on Sundays,
12:53the Marcos family gathers here.
12:55You can see the paintings here.
12:56These are the paintings that were displayed
12:59inside the palace of Malacanang.
13:00But they took them out
13:02so that they can be seen and not just sit there.
13:04These are the paintings of the national artist
13:07Fernando Amorzolo.
13:11This is the personal quarters of the First Couple.
13:14This is where they sleep.
13:15Inside this is the study area
13:18of President Bongbong Marcos.
13:20There are also a lot of games here,
13:22such as billiards,
13:23Pac-Man arcade machine,
13:25board games,
13:26and racing simulators
13:28that are often used by President's son,
13:30Vincent Marcos.
13:31The palace of Malacanang overlooks this area
13:34and in the middle is the Pasig River.
13:37For GMA Integrated News,
13:38I'm Jonathan Andal,
13:39and this is your Saksi.
13:42A wide range of tree planting activities
13:44were carried out in Mexico, Pampanga.
13:47More than 300 seedlings were planted.
13:50This was carried out by several government
13:51and non-government organizations
13:53and supported by several Malaysian
13:56and Mexican embassies.
13:58This is a reminder of the historic return
14:00of the Galeons to Acapulco, Mexico
14:02from Manila
14:03with several endemic crops
14:05or plants
14:06that are native to our country.
14:08This is what is considered
14:10our entry into the global food trade
14:12in 1565.
