00:00There is no official list of who will enter the ballot in the election of 2025.
00:05But there are petitions filed against the candidacy of some aspirants.
00:09This includes the petition to disqualify Pastor Apollo Quiboloy.
00:13The Campo na Pastor also asked to declare a nuisance
00:17that will disqualify him.
00:20Witness, this is Sandra Ginaldo.
00:22Comleg Anne Bank accepted the recommendation of their law department
00:29for the 66 senatorial aspirants who passed their examination
00:34and will be included in the ballot in the upcoming election.
00:37This is a mix of individuals,
00:40possibly incumbent, possibly independent.
00:43There are political parties, but they are not that well-known.
00:46Labor leaders, lawyers, doctors,
00:48we included all of them based on their qualifications and our determination.
00:54Our determination is based on the assessment of the law department
00:58whether they have a political party or they are independent candidates.
01:02That is not the basis of including them.
01:07Of the 183 who obtained the Certificate of Candidacy or COC as a senator,
01:12there are 117 who are not included in the list
01:16and the Comleg will file a petition to declare a nuisance.
01:21There are 24 petitions filed by the law department
01:26for the senatorial aspirants.
01:29The due process still needs to be given.
01:31The 117 out of the 183 senatorial aspirants
01:39to explain why they should not be declared nuisance candidates.
01:45Pastor Apolo Quibuloy was included in the list
01:48who is currently in prison and facing a case.
01:52Currently, he is also a member of the Workers and Peasants Party or WPP
01:57who gave him a CONA or Certificate of Nomination and Acceptance.
02:03The Senatorial Aspirant, Sunny Matula,
02:06canceled Quibuloy's CONA which was given without authorization.
02:10She also asked to disqualify Quibuloy.
02:13But Attorney Mark Christopher Tolentino,
02:17the political spokesperson of Quibuloy,
02:19filed a petition to declare Matula and some others as nuisance candidates
02:24and to cancel their COC and CONA.
02:27The WPP President, Matula and Tolentino,
02:29introduced each other.
02:31According to the Comleg,
02:33there are 80 petitions filed by the Comleg
02:36for the declaration of nuisance in a local position.
02:40For GMA Integrated News,
02:42I'm Sandra Aguinaldo, your witness.
02:46A barangay in Asinan, Pangasinan, was flooded by ice.
02:50It lasted for more than 3 minutes and according to the forecast,
02:53it's normal, especially during heavy thunderstorms.
02:58According to the Metro Weather,
02:59tomorrow morning, it will start to rain
03:02in some parts of Mindoro Provinces,
03:04Palawan, Antique, Zamboanga, Barm and Soksargen.
03:10It will also rain in the afternoon in Bicol Region,
03:12Samartlete Provinces, Panay and Negros Island,
03:16Sulu Archipelago, Barm and Davao Region.
03:19There will be heavy rain,
03:20so be alert for flood or landslide.
03:23It will also rain less in the evening.
03:27There are still chances of thunderstorms in Metro Manila.
03:31For now, the Intertropical Convergence Zone or ITCZ
03:35and Easterlies are the dominant weather systems
03:38that are affecting our country.
03:43Even yesterday, the deadline is less than half.
03:45The foreign employees of FOGO
03:47voluntarily downgraded their working visas
03:50as part of the process of FOGO leaving the country.
03:54According to the Bureau of Immigration,
03:55if they reach the Philippines by January,
03:58they will be arrested and blacklisted.
04:01Witness, Donatin Kungko.
04:08The 17 foreigners arrested by the NBI in Makati
04:11for organized scam, operations and hacking
04:14came from bigger FOGOs.
04:16According to the NBI,
04:17the foreigners said that they are already in the process
04:20of downgrading their working visas.
04:22Part of the visa downgrading
04:24is the process that the foreign employees of FOGO must go through.
04:28But even yesterday,
04:30the deadline for the visa downgrading
04:32in the Bureau of Immigration's data,
04:34less than half of the foreign FOGO workers
04:37voluntarily changed their temporary visitor visa.
04:41According to the NBI,
04:42the foreign FOGO workers who voluntarily downgraded
04:45will be given time to finish
04:46any pending business in the Philippines.
04:49They automatically get 59 days to wind down their affairs
04:53if they have legitimate reasons to go back to the country.
04:56For example, those with families here already,
04:59those who want to apply on other sectors legitimately.
05:04Those who do not voluntarily downgrade their visas
05:07are automatically denied the order to leave
05:10that is recorded in their passport.
05:12This means that they need to leave the country
05:14as soon as possible.
05:17Even if it is not a permanent derogatory record
05:20that is placed on a foreign passport
05:22and can be a barrier to return to the country.
05:25If the immigration officers see that,
05:28there will be more scrutiny against them
05:29because that is what we consider as a red flag
05:34because they stayed here for a long time
05:35without legally downgrading their visas.
05:40By the beginning of January,
05:41those who stayed in the country
05:43will be arrested for deportation and blacklisting.
05:46After the year ends,
05:48all of those are considered illegal,
05:51whether they filed for downgrading,
05:54whether they did not file for it,
05:57as long as they remain inside the country.
06:01President Marcos ordered the FOGO ban
06:03on his State of the Nation address this July
06:05due to various crimes committed against FOGOs
06:08such as FOGOs in Bambang, Tarlac, and Porac, Pampanga.
06:11In FOGO in Bambang,
06:12one of the victims of human trafficking
06:15is Dismissed Bambang Mayor Alice Guo.
06:17The bail petition of the former mayor
06:20is now being heard by other accused.
06:22Guo attended the hearing
06:23and other accused through a video conference.
06:27An official of the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission,
06:30OPAOC, appeared.
06:31To give an overview of how the act of qualified trafficking
06:36was committed inside the compound of Bawang.
06:40We are not required,
06:41we may not present our own evidence.
06:44It is a burden of prosecution.
06:46The hearing will continue on October 22.
06:50Faced with the complaint of violating
06:51the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act,
06:53suspended Porac Mayor Jing Capil
06:56and other current and former officials of Porac, Pampanga.
07:01This is the outcome of their actions
07:02in giving a permit to operate Lucky South 99.
07:06They approved the business permit
07:09that Lucky South is not qualified for FOGO.
07:12If you look at the application forms,
07:15it is blank but processed.
07:17The primary purpose of Lucky South
07:21is outsourcing, not FOGO.
07:23So this is contrary to its primary and secondary purposes.
07:28GMA Integrated News is also trying
07:30to get the full details of the complaints.

08:00transferred to DOH and DSWD
08:04in order to be similar to the services
08:06of the two ministries and projects of the OVP.
