00:00The four operators of a massage service in Quezon City were involved in the theft of condo units.
00:07Four women were involved in the theft of condo units,
00:11but not the minors who were raped by a father to the authorities.
00:16John Consulta reported.
00:22In a unit of condo in Quezon City,
00:25several women were arrested for sex trafficking,
00:28which is hidden behind massage services.
00:31Four suspects, who are handlers and operators of the group, were arrested.
00:44According to the NBI,
00:45the work started from a complaint of a father about his son who was forced to work in the QC.
00:52The child was invited by a countryman to work here in Manila.
00:57They also found out that his son was brought to a spa
01:02where the services offered in that spa are body-to-body massage.
01:09The minors were not found in the condo unit,
01:12but four women were injured in the unit.
01:15The victims were left there before being sent to their clients.
01:18This spa operates online where the women are offered to call or text,
01:25and then the women will go out and be taken by a rider to a hotel where the services will be done.
01:33Two suspects denied that they were taking minors.
01:37We do not accept minors.
01:39The client is a provider and he will tell us the location of his hotel to go to the therapist.
01:46We are not telling them that they need extra services.
01:49Our company is a massage spa.
01:54Regarding the extra services or sex services,
01:59the therapist and the client are the ones who are talking,
02:04and the company is already out there.
02:06The NBI is continuously looking for minors.
02:10We are the ones who are accused of violating the Human Trafficking Act and the Cybercrime Prevention Act.
02:20For GMA Integrated News, John Consulta.
02:23The time is now 24 hours.
02:27More than a week after Hurricane Helene, Hurricane Milton landfalled in America.
02:33This is the third fastest-growing storm in the Atlantic.
02:37According to the forecasts, the Filipinos were affected by the storm due to the impact of Bernadette Reyes.
02:46Before Hurricane Milton hit, this is how strong the wind was blowing in some parts of Florida.
02:53There was almost zero visibility due to the strong rain, but some debris scattered.
03:01Trees were swept away by the strong wind, and some electricity poles were knocked down.
03:12Some roads were no longer accessible due to the collapsed and damaged trees.
03:21Another tornado was reported in Clewiston, Florida.
03:27According to the National Weather Service, less than five tornadoes were reported in Florida.
03:34Fort Myers was also affected, where several houses were destroyed.
03:39All this, this happened like instantaneously.
03:42These windows blew out. I was about probably right here when it happened.
03:46Probably one minute total.
03:48Hurricane Milton was not felt in Sarasota.
03:51The strong winds of the windows in some houses were almost deafening.
03:57These roads were controlled in Lee County.
04:01In St. Petersburg, the roof of a stadium was cracked due to the strong winds.
04:08A large construction crane also collapsed and broke the roof in some houses.
04:14Hurricane Milton landed near Shesta Key, Florida as a Category 3 hurricane
04:20with a wind speed of almost 200 kilometers per hour.
04:24But before that, it reached Category 5,
04:28so it was considered a National Hurricane Center multi-hazard event.
04:32It was also called the third fastest intensifying storm on record in the Atlantic Ocean.
04:37In South Tampa, some of our countrymen, like Judith,
04:41who personally witnessed the impact of Hurricane Milton, were also affected.
04:45The winds were very strong and the rain was heavy.
04:49In other areas, especially in the south,
04:53the winds were very strong and the rain was heavy.
04:57The winds were very strong and the rain was heavy.
05:00The winds were very strong and the rain was heavy.
05:05In other areas, especially the coastline near the sea,
05:10the winds were very strong.
05:12The shutters were placed on the windows of the houses
05:16so that the windows would not be broken.
05:20Judith said that this hurricane was very strong.
05:24We've been here for four years.
05:26We just moved from Maryland.
05:28This is the strongest hurricane I've experienced.
05:32This was also experienced by another Filipino, Joanna,
05:35in her seven-year stay in Orlando, Florida.
05:38We could already feel the wind.
05:41This was the first time that a monster was really big.
05:45They were alerting us from time to time,
05:48a tornado warning, evacuation.
05:52They were sending a warning for the evacuation of the address and where to go.
05:57As of now, nothing has been recorded in WE,
05:59but residents will continue to be warned of the strong winds.
06:04More than a million houses and establishments have been affected
06:08due to the loss of electricity supply.
06:10Hurricane Milton is expected to sweep the Florida peninsula
06:14before it leaves the Atlantic.
06:16For GMA Integrated News, Bernadette Reyes,
06:20for 24 Hours.
06:23It's a big help for the environment,
06:25but it's also dangerous for health.
06:28That's what a group is doing
06:30against the use of reusable tumblers and bottles
06:34that contain toxic chemicals.
06:37Raffi Chima is on the scene.
06:43The Eco-Waste Coalition has been campaigning for a long time
06:45to use reusable water bottles
06:47instead of single-use plastic bottles that are scattered around the market.
06:50But the group noticed,
06:52along with this campaign,
06:53the abundance of cheap imported reusable bottles.
06:56That's why they should test the quality of these
06:59and if it's safe to use.
07:01One of our observations is that
07:04if it's painted,
07:06or if it's painted,
07:08it usually has a lead.
07:10The lead, or what we call tinga in Tagalog.
07:13In 2017, lead was banned in household paints in the Philippines
07:17because it's dangerous to health.
07:19But out of the 30 imported tumblers
07:21and other reusable bottles tested by the Eco-Waste Coalition,
07:24half of these fell.
07:26This colorful tumbler
07:28has 100,000 parts per million of lead content.
07:31That's our highest.
07:33The limit is 90 parts per million.
07:38Most of the people who use this are young people.
07:41You can hear the color and design of these.
07:44If you touch it and it has paint chips,
07:47if you touch it with rice or bread,
07:50it can be ingested
07:53because it bounces back over time
07:55so that it looks good.
07:57According to the DOH Disease Prevention and Control Bureau,
07:59because lead is a neurotoxin,
08:01it has a big effect on the brain if the exposure is continuous,
08:04especially for young people.
08:06It can damage the brain of a child.
08:08Normally, it will affect his mental development.
08:14It will lower his IQ.
08:16It's also possible for him to have speech and hearing loss.
08:21That's why Chinky is a mother to her child
08:23who doesn't want to be fooled by colorful water bottles.
08:26That's what mothers and people should think.
08:29It's expensive, but it's of better quality.
08:32You can use it for a longer period of time
08:34and you'll be safer.
08:36Your health will be safer.
08:38For GMI Integrated News,
08:40Rafi Timan, for Tutok, 24 hours.
08:44In Cote, Bulacan,
08:46an abortionist and two other people
08:49are involved in an online service
08:52run by June Veneration.
09:0653-year-old abortionist and two of his assistants
09:09were arrested inside their house in Bukaway, Bulacan.
09:14Sit down, dammit.
09:16The operation was carried out
09:18while the group was monitoring
09:20an abortion on a Facebook page worth P15,000.
09:25A police officer claimed that he was about to fall
09:28and that's why the PNP-ACG entrapment happened.
09:31Sister, listen. We'll tell you something.
09:34We arrested you for abortion.
09:40They were the ones who offered,
09:43they were the ones who messaged random accounts.
09:46Three people were charged with violating the Medical Act of 1959
09:49and the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012.
09:53The PNP-ACG is aware of other abortion cases
09:56and of those who will fall,
09:58and they both have an answer to the current law of the country.
10:02We are still trying to get hold of the suspects.
10:06For GMI Integrated News,
10:08this is June Veneracion reporting for 24 Hours.
10:12A joint investigation is underway
10:14between the Philippines and Cambodia
10:17regarding the abduction of 20 Filipinos
10:21who were made surrogate mothers there.
10:23According to our intelligence,
10:25seven of them will be the first to return home.
10:29This is Ian Cruz reporting.
10:34Although the two Filipinos were rescued in Cambodia,
10:37they were made surrogate mothers
10:39or were brought in for adoption by others.
10:42Our embassy there continues to assist
10:45the National Commission for Counter-Trafficking of Cambodia.
10:48For the masterminds of this,
10:52the head of human trafficking,
10:56when it comes to us,
10:58we are the ones who investigate.
11:01A parallel or joint investigation is underway
11:04by our authorities.
11:06There are indicators that say
11:09that there is also trafficking here in the Philippines.
11:13So those are the perpetrators
11:16that we will also investigate here in the Philippines.
11:19There are cases that will be filed in Cambodia
11:21depending on the consultation of the authorities there.
11:24But for now,
11:25repatriation is a priority for the victims.
11:28Seven of the 20 rescued will be the first to return home.
11:32Because there is another hospital in Cambodia,
11:3413 Filipinos are now pregnant.
11:36It's good that they are not in prison.
11:39They are also in the same room.
11:43They are regularly visited by embassies,
11:46especially one of them is close to giving birth.
11:49The longest is seven months.
11:51So in two months, they will give birth.
11:53Others are first trimester.
11:56Unlike other countries,
11:58surrogacy is also prohibited in Cambodia,
12:00where couples who have problems giving birth are helped.
12:04She was punished here.
12:07She was imprisoned here for 2 to 20 years.
12:10So let us be really, really careful.
12:15Surrogate moms are usually recruited online.
12:18When there are posts that are lying
12:21about being a surrogate mother,
12:25we should be careful
12:27because we will be in danger if we are brought to Cambodia.
12:30Surrogate mothers are not only being recruited online
12:33on various social media platforms,
12:40but also being visa-free by our neighboring countries.
12:46In fact,
12:47the 20 rescued in Cambodia
12:49first visited other Southeast Asian countries before Cambodia.
12:54And they were transferred to other countries.
12:56So like I said,
12:57it's a cycle.
12:59It's a cycle, so it's hard for them to learn.
13:02We work closely with the DFA.
13:04And that includes the unfortunate incident
13:09about the surrogate mothers.
13:11Rest assured,
13:12we will do our level best
13:15to find our possible interventions
13:19in coordination with our Department of Foreign Affairs.

14:26For the rest of the country,
14:28localised thunderstorms are the cause of rain.
14:30Remember,
14:31even if there are thunderstorms,
14:33landslides can still occur.
14:37The MMDA assured that they will continue to monitor the roads
14:42on Chino Rosas Avenue Extension
14:44which is always experiencing heavy traffic.
14:49That is in the middle of the non-compliance
14:52of some motorists in the traffic laws.
14:55And Oscar Oida was able to talk.
15:01Early in the afternoon,
15:02the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority, or MMDA,
15:05followed the roads
15:07along Chino Rosas Extension,
15:09particularly on the boundary of Taguig and Makati.
15:12The heavy slowdown of the traffic in the area was a result of this.
15:16There are establishments here
15:18who are really protruding to the sidewalk.
15:20Like in the case of the border of Taguig and Makati,
15:23the road there is already being used as a road.
15:26We really need to implement our traffic laws strictly.
15:32What's more,
15:33there are a lot of people who will agree to go home
15:36in the school there.
15:42Boss, how is the traffic here?
15:43Once the gate is full,
15:45the guards are blocking it.
15:47So what they are doing is waiting outside.
15:49What we are doing right now
15:50is we are asking them to go around.
15:52Some passenger jeeps are even more annoying
15:55as they repeatedly become illegal terminals
15:58on one side of the road.
16:00Illegal parking obstructing the bike lane.
16:03Earlier this morning,
16:04the MMDAs were already caught in the area.
16:07But when we passed by here at 2 p.m.
16:11the guards were here again.
16:14If these guys are annoying,
16:16the MMDA enforcers are even more annoying
16:19as they are operating in the area again yesterday.
16:23Imagine that you are being blocked by illegal parking every day
16:26which is P1,000.
16:27Let's sum it up.
16:28In a week, that's P7,000.
16:30All the violation tickets,
16:32if it adds up and you didn't pay right away
16:34or it was cancelled,
16:35it will reach the time that you need to get a clearance.
16:38And worse, you might not be able to renew your licenses.
16:41The MMDA is forcing people to watch
16:43so that the area can be protected every day.
16:46It will be consistent.
16:48But at the end of the day,
16:49what we want here is for the security guards,
16:52the local enforcers,
16:53to be able to manage this.
