00:00The NBI fished 15 million pesos worth of adhesive cement in Central Luzon and Metro Manila.
00:10It was seen as the next hit of a company.
00:13And John Consulta was able to point out that it was exclusive.
00:20The people of the NBI Intellectual Property Rights Division discussed at the same time
00:25the stores and warehouses in Bulacan, Pampanga, Nueva Ecija, and Metro Manila.
00:30The target of the operation is counterfeit or fake adhesive cement for houses and houses.
00:36According to the NBI, they received a complaint from a company,
00:41so they conducted a test buy.
00:43That's where they bought fake products.
00:46You won't believe it.
00:47You'll notice a very small difference in the packaging.
00:54The inside is also substandard.
00:56It didn't go through the right process.
00:59If you use this, you'll notice that after six or one year,
01:04the cement will start to crack.
01:08You will notice that the cement you use is weak.
01:16When it comes to tiles, these tiles remove them immediately.
01:20That's why it's easy for our houses to break.
01:22The cost of the adhesive cement was up to Php 15 million,
01:26which was confiscated from the stores and warehouses.
01:29Aside from the complaint, the authorities also saw another violation.
01:33The tax payment is too high.
01:35Our government will suffer a huge loss.
01:37The complainants were able to point out the targets of the raid.
01:40We will file a case of trademark infringement and unfair competition
01:45before the prosecutor's office.
01:47The complainant will file a motion for destruction
01:53so that the adhesive cement packaging will be destroyed.
01:58They haven't been released yet.
02:00For GMA Integrated News, John Consulta.
02:03Tune in for 24 Hours.
02:05President Bongbong Marcos ordered the government to re-study the flood control project in Bicol.
02:11The design and construction of the roads and roads were also revised.
02:15And the funding of several projects was added.
02:18Dano Tingcunco was the one who was affected.
02:23So that the flood control project in Bicol will not be repeated,
02:29President Bongbong Marcos ordered the Department of Public Works and Highways
02:33to re-study the Bicol River Basin Development Program
02:36to avoid flooding or to speed up its construction.
02:40He announced that the total of Php 100 million in aid
02:44will be distributed to fishermen in Camarines, Sua, and Albay.
02:47After the flood, in 2025,
02:51we will be able to build this type of dam
02:55so that the Bicol River Basin will not be flooded again.
03:02For this, the President ordered the Department of Public Works and Interior
03:06to consult with the local governments.
03:09He also ordered the design and construction of the roads and roads
03:13to last and work at any time.
03:16Make sure that the materials are of good quality, safe, and durable.
03:22The Quick Response Fund was prepared by the Budget Department
03:25for the response to the flood.
03:27Our QRF, the truth is,
03:31because of the flood, it ran out.
03:34So what we did is, we set aside funds to give again.
03:40The National Economic Development Authority Board
03:43approved the extension of the construction
03:45and some changes to some flood control projects.
03:48It was increased to Php 22 billion from the previous Php 9.89 billion
03:53for Cavite due to the increased drainage
03:56and expansion of diversion channels.
03:59It was increased to Php 57.7 billion from Php 33 billion
04:03for Phase 4 of a flood control project
04:06that will benefit Pasig, Marikina, Quezon City,
04:09and the towns of Taytay and Caintaza, Rizal.
04:12The 40 Fast Patrol Craft was also approved
04:15by the Philippine Coast Guard for disaster response,
04:18search and rescue operations, and implementation of maritime law.
04:21For GMA Integrated News,
04:23I'm Dan Ating Kungko and that was 24 Hours.
04:27More than 2 million Filipinos were added to the jobs in September
04:32and they are expected to increase as Christmas approaches.
04:36Among the increased jobs,
04:39the senior citizens.
04:41Bernadette Reyes is in the spotlight.
04:46JP Martin's new job as a cashier at a grocery store
04:49was considered an early Christmas.
04:52It's hard to find a job these days.
04:55He is one of the more than 49 million Filipinos
04:58who have jobs this September.
05:00More than 2 million more had jobs in the same month in 2023.
05:05The number of unemployed
05:07decreased compared to last year.
05:10It was also lower than in August.
05:13However, sectors that have lost jobs like agriculture
05:18that were affected by the typhoons need to be addressed.
05:20We have the largest drop in employment year-on-year
05:25in the agricultural sector and forestry,
05:28about 210,000, which is substantial.
05:30And also in fisheries and aquaculture,
05:33there was a decrease of 136,000.
05:37Some were expected to become underemployed
05:41or were expected to have additional hours at work,
05:44like Michelle.
05:45It's like we have to spend more every day
05:49because life is hard these days.
05:51The good news is that as Christmas approaches,
05:54the retail sector usually adds job openings
05:58like malls and groceries due to Christmas shopping.
06:01The same goes for restaurants due to year-end earnings
06:05and hotels due to those who are on vacation.
06:08Normally, our labor force participation rate
06:11for employed persons is increasing,
06:12both the number and the rate during the bear months.
06:17Bazaars and markets will start in October.
06:21We have activities.
06:24Even senior citizens are looking for income,
06:29like Lola Mari Lu,
06:31who is 70 years old and owns a small rice field.
06:34I want to have some income for my grandchildren.
06:39I want to earn money like this.
06:41I want to give something to my grandchildren.
06:44According to the Philippine Statistics Authority,
06:47384,000 senior citizens added jobs or businesses
06:53in September compared to the same period last year.
06:57Most of them are linked to the services sector.
07:01The number of senior workers is increasing,
07:05both in terms of numbers and in terms of percentage of workers.
07:10For GMA Integrated News,
07:13Bernadette Reyes has been arrested for 24 hours.
07:17The partner was arrested
07:18for allegedly selling illegal drugs to his 10-year-old daughter.
07:26Marisol Abduraman was arrested.
07:28Exclusive.
07:32At a young age,
07:34you wouldn't think that he can sell illegal drugs.
07:37But in the story of Ron's 10-year-old daughter,
07:40he didn't have a real name.
07:42He was forced to sell drugs to his own mother and father.
07:46He was afraid that he would be punished
07:49if he didn't obey.
07:51According to the child's story and the information of the police,
07:54the child has been selling illegal drugs for more than a year.
07:57But it was only recently that he reported it to his relatives
08:00and to the authorities.
08:03The child is being used as a weapon.
08:06They are also becoming victims.
08:07They are victims, but they are being used as runners.
08:10Yes, as a wrong way for their parents to live.
08:15According to the authorities,
08:18the child's story is that his parents are lying in front of him.
08:23Most of the time, the child is exposed to illegal activities
08:30that use illegal drugs.
08:33Ron was only able to escape while his mother was sleeping
08:35and was with him.
08:37That's why he reported it to his grandmother.
08:39He was selling illegal drugs and he was beaten.
08:43I was so angry that I sent him to the barangay.
08:46We took him to the barangay and he stated everything he said.
08:51He will be beaten anywhere.
08:53During the buy-bust operation,
08:54the suspect and his accomplice were caught in front of their house.
09:00The suspect was given the warrant.
09:02No, I was just forced to do it.
09:05Were you ordered to do it?
09:07No.
09:09They were not lying to me.
09:13But were you the one who was selling illegal drugs?
09:15No.
09:16But his accomplice admitted to being the one who pushed him.
09:19I'm a welder.
09:21He was not charged for two days and one week.
09:26Earlier, they filed a complaint of possession and selling of illegal drugs.
09:32For GMA Integrated News, Marisol Abduraman,
09:36for Tuto, 24 Hours.
09:39The City Disaster Response Team in Baguio is now on a blue alert
09:43because of the Marseille Flood.
09:45This is Salima Refran's live report.
09:47Salima.
09:52Emil, the signal number one here in the province of Benguet
09:56is high because of the Marseille Flood.
10:00Because of the high wind signal,
10:01the classes here in Baguio City were automatically suspended
10:04earlier from preschool to senior high school.
10:07The students were asked to go home at 3 p.m.
10:10The City Disaster Response Team is now on a blue alert
10:13as part of their preparation for the flood
10:15and its effect on the city.
10:17At this time, Emil, the weather is still fine
10:20and the wind is cold
10:23so that we can bring more tourists
10:26to Baguio City.
10:28According to the Baguio City Public Information Office,
10:31we will just wait for the announcement tonight
10:34if the students will be allowed to enter tomorrow.
10:37That is the latest news here in Baguio City.
10:39Emil.
10:40Thank you very much, Salima Refran.
10:45The 7 officials were placed in the Immigration Lookout Bulletin Order
10:49by the Office of the Vice President.
10:52They include the Chief of Staff of the OVP
10:55who is already abroad
10:57and has travel documents approved
11:00by Vice President Sara Duterte
11:02according to her office.
11:04Tina Panganibang-Perez was appointed.
11:10The chairperson of the House Committee on Good,
11:13Government and Public Accountability
11:15seemed to be stopping the officials
11:17of the Office of the Vice President
11:19who are facing an investigation by the committee
11:22regarding the expenses of the confidential
11:24and intelligence funds
11:26received by Vice President Sara Duterte.
11:29The Chief of Staff of the Vice President,
11:32Zulika Lopez, was supposed to be present
11:34but she flew to America
11:36on the eve of the committee hearing yesterday.
11:38Committee Chair Joel Chua said
11:41they are investigating if Vice President Duterte
11:44signed the Travel Authority of the Chief of Staff.
11:48It is saddening that the OVP officials
11:50seemed to be stopping them.
11:53This is also the view of other congressmen.
11:56There is bad faith.
11:57For many reasons.
11:58First, they were invited several times.
12:02Second, you can see that there is bad faith
12:05because she left the country
12:07the night before the scheduled hearing.
12:10The Chief of Staff has the obligation
12:13to explain the irregularities,
12:16the concerns, and the issues.
12:18If there is nothing to hide,
12:19why are you avoiding it?
12:20In a statement,
12:22the OVP confirmed
12:24that Lopez traveled to America
12:27and approved her visa.
12:29It is a personal trip
12:31and has no connection to her work.
12:34The OVP also requested
12:36that Lopez's privacy and that of her family
12:39be kept secret during a difficult time.
12:43Lopez was with the seven OVP officials
12:46who were given by the Department of Justice
12:48the Immigration Lookout Bulletin Order.
12:50The camera asked for it
12:52because of the several times
12:53the seven OVP officials snubbed
12:55the invitations to travel
12:56during the hearings.
12:58I would like to reiterate
12:59that this ILBO
13:00is not a restriction to their travel
13:02or their right to travel,
13:04but merely a monitoring mechanism
13:05by which we can see
13:07if they left the country
13:09or entered the country.
13:10Some congressmen are also concerned
13:12about Vice President Sara Duterte's refusal
13:15to make an oath in the hearing of the camera.
13:18It does not set a good precedent.
13:20For all resource persons
13:22that will attend in the future hearings,
13:24even former President Aquino
13:27attended the Senate hearing
13:29and took his oath.
13:30President Duterte attended the Senate hearing
13:33and took his oath.
13:34It's premature to even say
13:38that this leads to the impeachment.
13:40We have yet really to find out
13:43what really happened
13:44as far as the utilization of these funds.
13:46We are asking for a reaction
13:49from Vice President Duterte.
13:51For GMA Integrated News,
13:53Tina Panganiban-Perez,
13:55Nakatutok, 24 Hours.
