Transcript

00:00Live from the GMA Network Center,

00:0420 years have passed, 24 hours.

00:09Good evening, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.

00:16A Chinese national was found dead in a West House in Tagaytay.

00:21He was helped and tortured by his fellow Chinese.

00:26In an investigation, it was done to the victim to calm him down

00:30because he trusted the group's illegal activities.

00:3417 Chinese were arrested in the facility

00:36where the alleged scam was being carried out.

00:40Here's what I learned.

00:46An alleged computer, cell phone, and SIM card

00:49were found in the NBI

00:51when this West House in Tagaytay was robbed last night.

00:55Every corner of the room was full of computers

00:58that were being used to carry out scams like crypto-scam.

01:02In one corner,

01:03it was found that the people in charge of this cell phone were actual.

01:06All of this, money transfer, and crypto.

01:12Did you see the Chinese character?

01:1617 Chinese nationals were arrested

01:19who were staying there.

01:20The first scam hub was opened

01:23in the presence of a Chinese

01:24who was being tortured and watched.

01:26The Chinese were in the middle.

01:28This is the victim we saved.

01:32Actually, he wanted to leave the group.

01:38But he didn't want to be caught.

01:41So he was beaten.

01:43Who was beaten by you?

01:45This one.

01:46Who else?

01:47That one.

01:48This one.

01:49The white one.

01:50And this one.

01:52The Chinese were supposed to leave the group.

01:54But in order not to be caught,

01:56he was helped and tortured.

02:00That's you.

02:02You're being tortured.

02:05The Chinese were brought to the NBI VTEC

02:07and will be under investigation tomorrow

02:09in the case of violation of the Cyber Crime Prevention Act.

02:12We tried to arrest them, but they refused.

02:15Computers and cell phones were also confiscated

02:17and will be under investigation.

02:20For GMA Integrated News,

02:22I'm Emil Sumangil.

02:23Tune in for 24 Hours.

02:26Aside from the camera,

02:27the War on Drugs Committee will also conduct

02:30its own investigation

02:31in the Senate led by Senator Bato De La Rosa

02:36and invited by former President Rodrigo Duterte.

02:41The field of the victims of extrajudicial killings

02:45has spread

02:46because of how the DAWITs

02:49have targeted themselves.

02:51Ma'am Gonzales has the story.

02:56Senator Bato De La Rosa

02:57was the head of the Philippine National Police

03:00when the Duterte administration first implemented the War on Drugs.

03:04And now, he's one of the members of the Senate Committee

03:07on Public Order and Dangerous Drugs.

03:09He will conduct his own investigation

03:11on the War on Drugs

03:12after the revelations in the camera

03:15that there was a reward system

03:16for each victim of the war on drugs.

03:19De La Rosa will also invite

03:21his former boss,

03:22former President Rodrigo Duterte.

03:25There's a high possibility that he will attend

03:27if we invite him

03:30because he looks more comfortable

03:33in the Senate than in the lower house.

03:36Have you talked to him yet?

03:37Not yet, but I don't think he will attend

03:41if I invite him.

03:43If there are any issues raised against Senator Bumgo,

03:47against me,

03:48or anyone else who is accused

03:52that he doesn't want to attend,

03:55he can attend here in the Senate hearing.

03:58But Manila Rep. Benny Abante,

04:01the co-chair of the Quad Committee,

04:03who is investigating the extrajudicial killings

04:06during the time of President Duterte, is also suspicious.

04:08You know, the thing is,

04:10he became the Director General

04:13of the Philippine National Police

04:14during the time of the former president.

04:18Just imagine, he was only a Brigadier General,

04:21all of a sudden,

04:22he became a star, right?

04:25He became a Major General

04:28and a Director General.

04:30So I would think that he would be more biased

04:35than actually balanced in that hearing.

04:39If I really want to use my committee,

04:41I've been hearing for a long time.

04:43But I'm also ashamed

04:46because I've been doing self-serving for 10 years.

04:50We're also being delegated.

04:52We're also ashamed.

04:53But I really need to

04:58maintain the checks and balances.

05:03Then, we have to do it.

05:05Dela Rosa is part of the diagram

05:07released by retired police colonel Ruyina Garma

05:10about the so-called reward system.

05:12Senator Bong Go also served as a close aide

05:15to the former President Duterte.

05:17Go said that he will submit a resolution tomorrow

05:19to investigate the war on drugs by the Senate.

05:22There will also be an investigation by the Senate.

05:25If you want to investigate the war on drugs,

05:27we can listen to it.

05:29Especially since our chairperson,

05:32Senator Batoy,

05:33is the chairperson of the Committee on Peace and Order.

05:37He is the chief PNP.

05:38So we can find out what is really true

05:41and what is the reason behind it.

05:44The lawyer of the victims of extrajudicial killings

05:46also served as a close aide.

05:49Perpetrators cannot investigate themselves.

05:55Go and Dela Rosa also denied

05:57that there was a reward system back then.

05:59Dela Rosa also said that if there is one,

06:01it is not included here and it could be hidden.

06:04I am not connected in any way.

06:06Maybe there is an official capacity

06:09as the chief PNP.

06:11I don't know if all my colleagues can monitor 24x7

06:16what they are doing.

06:18But maybe that's it.

06:19If there is a responsibility as the chief PNP.

06:21But if you say that I have a direct hand

06:25on what is being planned,

06:27what is being done,

06:28or what happened,

06:29I don't think so.

06:33They have a small role.

06:35Dela Rosa knows Garma,

06:37but he did not work under him.

06:40Abante, on the other hand,

06:41helped Garma and his lawyers,

06:44but he said that it was still his own doing.

06:46That's why he became emotional while reading it.

06:49For GMA Integrated News,

06:51Mav Gonzalez, Nakatutok, 24 Hours.

06:55The Quad Committee in the Chamber

06:58hopes that there will be enough witnesses

07:01in the ongoing investigation

07:03of the reward system in the campaign against drugs

07:07of the Duterte administration.

07:09The Committee of Evidence will also not give

07:12any request to the International Criminal Court or ICC.

07:17Nakatutok, Maki Pulido.

07:22At the Quad Committee hearing on August 29,

07:25Lt. Col. Jovi Espinido,

07:27former chief of police of Albuera, Leyte,

07:30confirmed the reward system

07:31in Operation Tokhang of the Duterte administration.

07:34The police know that there is a reward system

07:41if the person on the watch list dies.

07:47Your Honor, it doesn't matter if it's a crime or not.

07:50It doesn't matter if it's true or not.

07:54At the last hearing of the Quad Committee,

07:56Lt. Col. and former PCSO General Manager Roina Garma

08:01said that the reward reached P1 million per person who died.

08:04The DAVO model referred to the system

08:09involving payment and reward.

08:11From what I understand, starting P20,000 to P1 million.

08:16The Committee wants to know where the funds came from.

08:19According to Surigao Del Norte,

08:22Rep. Ace Barbers,

08:23the overall chairman of the Quad Comm.,

08:25it was funded by the government.

08:27There are many angles.

08:29First, it is said that it came from the confidential

08:32or intelligence fund of our Office of the President.

08:35Many are saying that it came from PCSO,

08:40SPL or LOTO.

08:44The Committee is now consulting

08:46with the Commission on Audit and Anti-Money Laundering Council

08:49to determine the money trail.

08:51It will appear in the COA.

08:55It will appear in the investigation

08:59of the intelligence funds and confidential funds

09:03that are included in the operational expenses.

09:05When he served as secretary of the Department of Justice

09:08of the Duterte administration,

09:10Solicitor General Menardo Guevara said

09:12that they heard about the reward system

09:15but there were no witnesses.

09:17Even in the investigation of the Commission on Human Rights,

09:20the reward system is just a guess.

09:22In the next hearings of the Quad Comm.,

09:24did any witnesses come forward

09:26to detail where the funds came from?

09:29To be honest, not yet.

09:32But we believe that there will be a result.

09:39In Garma's story,

09:41he was asked by former President Duterte

09:43for a recommendation on who can implement

09:45the reward system in the war on drugs

09:47in the whole country.

09:48But Barbers said that they cannot say

09:50that there is a direct connection

09:52with the former President of the Philippines.

09:54We are not saying that now

09:56because we don't have evidence.

09:58We still don't have a corroborative statement.

10:03He also added that they will not provide

10:05documents to the International Criminal Court or ICC,

10:08where Duterte is being investigated

10:10and some of his former officials

10:12are under the jurisdiction of the EJK.

10:14My personal stand on the issue

10:16is that since we are not members

10:18of the ICC,

10:20and the President has made

10:22a clear statement as to his position

10:24in the ICC,

10:26I will support that position.

10:28If they want to have access on records

10:30or access to information

10:32about the investigation,

10:34the ICC can go to

10:36all social media platforms.

10:38It's all recorded. It's a public record.

10:40So they can access that anytime.

10:42And we will not stop them from doing that.

10:44For GMA Integrated News,

10:46Mackie Pulido reporting for 24 Hours.

10:50The wound of a woman

10:51in a wheelchair and her child

10:53pushing her

10:55after a motorcycle collided

10:57while crossing Nagcarlan Laguna.

10:59Reporting by Dano Tincunco.

11:05A woman and her mother

11:07were crossing the road

11:09while holding a CCTV in Nagcarlan Laguna.

11:11They were close to the other side

11:13of the road when suddenly

11:20a motorcycle arrived.

11:22The mother collided

11:24and with the impact,

11:26they partially collided with the rider.

11:28The victims were rushed to the hospital

11:30where they were injured.

11:32The rider explained

11:34that he did not immediately notice

11:36that the mother was crossing.

11:38He promised to pay all the expenses

11:40for the treatment.

11:42He said that he will pay

11:44all the hospital expenses.

11:46How about the wheelchair?

11:48For now,

11:50if there is a repair,

11:52I will ask for a repair.

11:54If not, I will take care of the child.

11:56Please excuse me.

11:58For those who are in need,

12:00please excuse me.

12:04According to GMA Integrated News Research,

12:06in the more than 20,000 incidents

12:08of road crashes outside Metro Manila

12:10last year,

12:1212,000 motorcycles

12:14were involved.

12:16In Metro Manila,

12:18almost 7,000 motorcycle-related

12:20road crashes were recorded

12:22from January to April this year.

12:24The average number of motorcycles

12:26involved in road crashes

12:28during this time is 57.

12:30For GMA Integrated News,

12:32I'm Dan, and I'll see you in 24 Hours.

12:36Not only did the number of

12:38motorcycle-related road crashes

12:40in Pogo

12:42voluntarily downgrade

12:44their working visas

12:46according to the Bureau of Immigration,

12:48those who did not reach

12:50the deadline yesterday

12:52were sent abroad

12:54at an earlier date.

12:58The deadline of the Bureau of Immigration

13:00was set yesterday, October 15,

13:02to voluntarily downgrade

13:04the working visas

13:06of Pogo workers.

13:08But according to the BI,

13:10of the more than 30,000 Pogo workers,

13:12less than half,

13:14or only 12,000,

13:16volunteered to exchange

13:18temporary visitor visas.

13:20Of those who downgraded,

13:2217 were arrested

13:24at the Bistong Scam Hub in Makati.

13:26According to the Bureau of Immigration,

13:28Pogo foreign workers

13:30who voluntarily downgraded

13:32their work visas

13:34can resume any pending business

13:36in the Philippines.

13:38They automatically get 59 days

13:40to wind down their affairs.

13:42Those who voluntarily left the country

13:44and downgraded their visas

13:46may return to the Philippines

13:48if they have legitimate reasons

13:50to go back to the country.

13:52For example, those with families here already,

13:54those who want to apply

13:56on other sectors

13:58legitimately.

14:00Those who did not voluntarily

14:02downgrade their visas

14:04were automatically asked

14:06to leave a record

14:08of their passport.

14:10This means that

14:12they need to leave the country

14:14as soon as possible.

14:16The BI clarified that

14:18even if this is not a derogatory record,

14:20it is permanent in the passport

14:22and can be a barrier

14:24to return to the country.

14:26If the immigration officers see this,

14:28there will be more scrutiny

14:30because they stayed here

14:32without legally downgrading

14:34their visas.

14:36Once January comes,

14:38those who stayed in the country

14:40will be arrested for deportation

14:42and blacklisting.

14:44We are monitoring their departure

14:46up until the end of the year.

14:48After the year ends,

14:50we consider all of them illegal

14:52whether they filed for downgrading

14:54whether they did not

14:56file for it as long as

14:58they remain inside the country.

20:15The GMA Integrated News continues to try to get the attention of the respondents.

20:20For GMA Integrated News, I'm Nima Refra, 24 Hours.

20:26Now, Christmas is just around the corner.

20:29The MMDA is preparing the heavy traffic, especially in Metro Manila.

20:34They are already helping the malls throughout EDSA to implement changes in their operating hours.

20:43And we are live with Joseph Moros.

20:46Joseph.

20:50Vicky, the Christmas rush is already starting, even though it's just October, according to the MMDA.

20:56That's why they are talking to the malls,

20:59to adjust their operating hours, even though the sales are being delayed.

21:12This is how slow the traffic in EDSA is during Christmas.

21:16Because there are a lot of people buying and traveling during the Christmas rush.

21:21The cars are also crowded, especially those near the malls.

21:25But according to the MMDA, the number of cars in EDSA is still high.

21:29A few months before Christmas, the volume of cars in EDSA is now 421,000.

21:35That's one month from the previous 400,000 in August.

21:39If you will travel here in EDSA, you will run slower by one kilometer per hour.

21:47According to the MMDA, that's the effect of the early Christmas rush.

21:50It's already felt and will be felt.

21:54What about Christmas shopping?

21:58That's why the MMDA is still talking to the malls to reduce that.

22:03To adjust the mall hours.

22:05Normally, we reach half a mil while the Christmas season is approaching.

22:11We expect that before Ondas, it will be heavy.

22:15Then after Ondas, it will be straight until Christmas time.

22:20There are 29 malls in the length of EDSA.

22:24That's why the average speed is 20 to 21 kilometers per hour.

22:28It's only 19 kilometers per hour in the northbound.

22:31It's slower by 18.13 kph in the southbound.

22:35The malls are open from November 18 to December 25.

22:40Instead of 10 in the morning, they will open at 11 in the morning.

22:45But the malls will decide what time they will close.

22:50They will just announce it.

22:52They will also postpone the Christmas mall wide sales that should be done before November 18.

22:59We are supporting whatever MMDA is requesting from us.

23:05Most likely, the bonuses are released before November 18.

23:12All of our sales are done prior to December.

23:17We are also recognizing the bonuses that are released prior to November 18.

23:23We are going to follow the request of our MMDA regarding this holiday season.

23:30To ease the congestion in EDSA during this holiday season.

23:35MMDA is hoping to reduce the volume of vehicles going to the malls.

23:42We are just scattering them.

23:44If you noticed, in the past few years,

23:49we haven't experienced the so-called carmageddon

23:53where our roads become a parking lot.

23:59It's slowing down, but it's moving.

24:06Vicky, the MMDA is also planning to discuss with the Department of Transportation

24:10if it's possible to extend for commuters the LRT, MRT, and EDSA bus carousel.

24:18Joseph, you mentioned earlier that since August, the volume of vehicles has increased.

24:23We are just in the middle of October.

24:26Can MMDA say how much or how many percent of the number of vehicles going to EDSA

24:33during this holiday season?

24:39It's good news.

24:40If we reach 421,000 in September,

24:44it's possible to increase it by 10 to 20 percent.

24:48According to MMDA Chairman Tony Romando Artes,

24:51we can reach 500,000 per day in EDSA.

24:54But their observation is that after 25,000, the figure will drop.

24:59Because you know, the people are in the hands of the provinces.
