00:00And for the latest situation in Ilocos Norte, where the wind signal No. 2 and 3 are high because of the storm Marce, we will talk to Marcel Tabihe from the Ilocos Norte Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office.
00:27Marcel, good morning.
00:29Sir, good morning.
00:31How is the situation there while we are talking?
00:34Well, here in the city proper, we are here in Lawag, there are occasional gusty winds and generally cloudy with intermittent high winds.
00:48But the storm is not that scary yet?
00:54Not yet. As we speak, not yet.
00:59How did you prepare for the storm? Right now, it's at signal No. 2 and 3. Are there rescue boats ready? Did you carry out a forced evacuation?
01:10Well, with respect to our rescue boats, all our water assets are ready here in the province.
01:22The residents are preparing for preemptive evacuation, especially here in the northern part of the province where the storm Marce is stronger.
01:35How many towns are we talking about? The ones that you're expecting to be hit or affected by the storm Marce?
01:44Sir, all our towns are prepared. That's what we're doing to at least prepare all our towns.
01:55We have advised all the DIRM officers in the two cities and 21 municipalities to prepare for the storm Marce.
02:08In terms of number of affected residents, how many are we expecting to be affected by the storm Marce?
02:15We are preparing for province-wide affected by the storm Marce.
02:25We have prepositioned relief goods sir?
02:28Yes. Before that, we have prepositioned relief goods to three towns so it will be easier to provide relief to the affected residents of the province.
02:44The head of our government, Gov. Matthew G. Marcos Anoto, is the one who prepositioned and provided relief goods packs to our affected towns.
03:06Ginong Tabihe, thank you very much for your time. We will continue to report to you on the update on the storm Marce in Ilocos Norte. Be careful.
03:15Thank you very much sir.
03:17We have spoken with Marcel Tabihe.
03:20The wind signal number four has increased in some parts of Cagayan because of the storm Marce.
03:26We will now talk to Rueli Rapsing, the head of Cagayan Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office.
03:33Good morning again.
03:38Good morning to you and to all the viewers of your program.
03:43We will continue to report on the situation in Cagayan.
03:48Sir here in Cagayan, our northern portion, our coastal municipalities are under signal number four and the rest of the province is signal number three.
04:01We are here in Gonzaga and we are experiencing a gustiness of 120 kilometers per hour of wind.
04:14Although in the rainy season, we are experiencing a mild wind.
04:21Yesterday, there was a forced evacuation.
04:24How many residents were evacuated?
04:27Yes, it's still ongoing sir.
04:31Although we received an initial report from 21 municipalities, more than 11,000 individuals were evacuated.
04:42Are these all from your coastal areas?
04:45Yes sir.
04:46Yes sir.
04:48It's still ongoing because we didn't receive all of it the entire day.
04:55Our evacuation efforts are still ongoing.
05:00So Mr. Rapsing, are we still being evacuated at this time?
05:04Again sir?
05:06Until now, are we still being evacuated? Are we still being transferred to our countrymen at this time?
05:14Yes sir. Yes sir. Other municipalities are still continuing their evacuation efforts.
05:22In the evacuation center in Patubay, food, water and other necessities, can we still be helped there?
05:30Yes sir. There is no request for replenishment of our barangay and local government units to the provincial government.
05:42Somehow, when we contacted them by PIDRA, one of the assessment is their stockpile.
05:52Mr. Rapsing, have we experienced a resident who doesn't want to evacuate?
05:57Well there are some sir. But since this is a forced evacuation, we have our uniformed personnel to accompany us.
06:08Okay. I will not bother you anymore. Your work is important. Thank you very much PDRMO Head Rueli Rapsing. Take care.
06:18Thank you very much to all of you. Bye bye.
06:22Former President Rodrigo Duterte will not be affected by the hearing of the House Quad Committee on Extrajudicial Killings.
06:32According to the letter sent by Duterte's lawyer to the House Quad Committee on Extrajudicial Killings,
06:37Congressman Robert A. Barbers, although the former president respects the authority of the committee,
06:44it is clear that the hearings are just a formality to imprison Duterte.
06:51Duterte is also in charge of inciting and pressuring the committee of resource persons to confess to things that are not true.
07:00Duterte explained that the hearing of the Senate Ribbon Committee is enough.
07:06The House Quad Committee has nothing to say about this.
07:12Winston Casio, the spokesperson of the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission or PAOC, may face a criminal case.
07:21According to PAOC Executive Director Gilbert Cruz, that is if there is a complaint against Casio.
07:27If not, he will face an administrative case.
07:32This is related to Casio's mistreatment or assault of a Filipino employee who was raided by the BPO in Bagac, Bataan.
07:41Casio was asked to confess and he said that he will face the consequences of his punishment.
07:47He explained that he assaulted and raped an employee, a PAOC employee.
07:56The driver of the SUV with a plate number 7 who passed through EDSA busway tried to go to the Lancer Transportation Office.
08:05He explained that he saw his Tian so he tried to pass through the busway.
08:10We have first news from Joseph Morong.
08:13Sir just a moment.
08:16Sir I just want to verify you.
08:19Sir I have a license, a driver's license.
08:23I'll go first.
08:25Oh my goodness.
08:28Last Sunday night, a luxury vehicle passed through the northbound lane of the EDSA bus carousel even though it was prohibited.
08:38The Lancer Transportation Office faced and explained that the driver was raped by an enforcer.
08:44I thought I could get in because I was in a hurry.
08:48I was in a hurry sir.
08:50My Tian was hurting sir.
08:52I was feeling well sir.
08:54That's why I wanted to try to pass through sir.
08:58The LTO closed the busway and Ed Pan was fined a total of P9,000.
09:03He was also facing multiple violations such as disregarding traffic signs due to entering the busway and illegal use of protocol plate.
09:11Number 7, he used a plate on the vehicle that was supposed to be used as a senator.
09:15But according to the LTO, the plate is fake.
09:17He didn't admit it.
09:19Fake in the sense that it is not legitimate, in the sense that it's an LTO issue.
09:24We have nothing to do with it.
09:26The LTO also said that the vehicle was registered with the company Orient Pacific Corporation.
09:32We cannot confirm. The names of the directors and stockholders may be found in the SEC.
09:39It's a public record and right now we are not authorized to divulge their names due to their rights also.
09:44That's also privacy.
09:46They cannot explain why they used plate number 7.
09:50The driver confirmed that they were four passengers in a luxury vehicle.
09:54He was not seen in the video, but his side was seen in the front.
09:57The man sitting in the back was one of the investors that they will bring.
10:02The company sincerely apologizes for what happened.
10:06We did not want that.
10:09Rest assured, we will cooperate with the investigation.
10:14According to the Land Transportation Office or LTO,
10:17the drivers are the only ones who are caught on the EDSA busway,
10:20and there is a penalty, not the passengers.
10:24But the company Orient Pacific was not satisfied because the LTO will issue a show-cause order
10:30to investigate the additional violation of the driver and the owner of the vehicle.
10:35The LTO will also ask the Securities and Exchange Commission or SEC for their information sheet.
10:41In the copy obtained by the GMA Integrated News Research,
10:44it can be seen that the president of the Orient Pacific Corporation is Kenneth T. Gatchalian,
10:49a former congressman and brother of Senator Wynne Gatchalian.
10:52We are asking for his signature.
10:55But one day, Senator Gatchalian said that he did not have a white Cadillac Escalade.
11:05This is the first news, Joseph Morong for the GMA Integrated News.
11:12We will continue with the news.
11:14An SUV with a plate number 7 was found on the EDSA busway.
11:17We will talk to the executive director of the Land Transportation Office, Atty. Greg Pau Jr.
11:23Good morning.
11:25Good morning, Igor. Good morning to everyone listening.
11:29So for those who are planning to cross the busway, what will be the complaint or punishment of the driver of the SUV?
11:40The driver who is passing by is disregarding traffic signs.
11:45There is also a violation of the busway.
11:49That is what we will face if we cross the busway.
11:52On the part of Mr. Ed Pan, he was found yesterday.
11:57His record is worth P9,000, but that's only a preliminary.
12:02We already issued a show-cause order to explain that he is not an improper person to operate a motor vehicle.
12:12After our findings, we will see that he is improper, we will revoke his license.
12:19In the meantime, we will suspend his license for a period of 90 days.
12:25Okay. Minura, dirty finger, your enforcer is a bit hasty.
12:32This is more serious than his case.
12:36Yes. That would be another case.
12:40This is not an administrative or violation of traffic on the part of LTO.
12:45But the enforcer can file the appropriate criminal case based on what happened to him and what he felt when he was arrested.
12:57It was established that the license plate is fake.
13:01Yes. It's fake in the sense that it was not issued by LTO. It's not from LTO.
13:08The Orient Pacific Corporation, based on their website, is owned by Gatchalian.
13:17Do they have a responsibility?
13:20We explained to the corporation, because of the placement of a plate, a protocol plate, a fake one.
13:29We explained why they should not be held liable for imitation and false representation.
13:34Yes.
13:36Did you talk to the owner, director?
13:40Not yet. The one who appeared yesterday, the director we talked to,
13:48on the part of LTO, we haven't seen him personally.
13:53We don't have personal knowledge of the owner of the car,
13:58of the Orient Pacific because we haven't seen the GIS of the corporation.
14:04Do they have a responsibility?
14:06Yes.
14:10What was your reaction when you were told that the driver is sick and that's why you went there?
14:15Our reaction is that whatever emergency it is, unless it's an ambulance,
14:25it's not a reason to go to the busway and violate the traffic.
14:31I was surprised. Maybe you have a comfort room in the busway.
14:36We don't.
14:38We will find out again.
14:41It's a very simple order. It's in Tagalog.
14:44Why are there so many people passing by?
14:46We will call the director again.
14:48Yes. We are calling our motorists, especially those who pass by EDSA.
14:55You cannot pass by the EDSA busway.
14:57You cannot pass by the EDSA busway.
14:59Only those who can pass by the EDSA busway are limited.
15:01The buses that travel there, the ambulance, the President, the Vice President, the Senate President, the Speaker and the enforcers,
15:12there is no exemption there.
15:14If you pass by the EDSA busway, you will be arrested because there are many deputized agents assigned to each stop and each length of the EDSA busway.
15:30You can also talk about a higher punishment or penalty if it's a halal official or a government official with a high position.
15:38Because the penalty we are mentioning is just a barrier for them.
15:46Yes. That's right. We are studying that.
15:50We will increase the penalty. I will add it to the drivers.
15:56Even if it's small for you or your bosses, the fine.
16:04But we have a demerit system. If you consume this, your license can be revoked.
16:13That's clear. Thank you very much LTO Executive Director Atty. Greg Pau Jr. Take care.
16:18Thank you Egan. Thank you.
16:20Peking Cigarillos were sighted in a factory in Bulacan and three warehouses in Valenzuela.
16:27Live from Valenzuela, we have the first news.
16:29It's Bea Pinlac.
16:31Bea?
16:34Egan, not only the warehouses, but also the factory of Peking Cigarillos were visited by the authorities in Valenzuela and Bulacan last night.
16:44More than 100 Filipino and Chinese employees were in the custody of the police.
16:49Thousands of boxes of Peking Cigarillos were found by the police and officials of the Bureau of Internal Revenue in this warehouse in Valenzuela last night.
17:02That's just one of the warehouses they visited in the city where smugglers were found.
17:08Tax liabilities for the authorities of Peking Cigarillos in a factory in San Rafael, Bulacan and three separate warehouses in Valenzuela will reach Php 11 billion.
17:21Some of the boxes have tax stamps that were copied from the old design.
17:27Others do not have tax stamps.
17:30This is considered an economic sabotage because of the magnitude of not paying taxes.
17:37Hopefully, we will be able to arrest and stop these kinds of activities.
17:42We are looking for the person behind this operation.
17:46155 Filipino and one Chinese employee were arrested in the factory of Peking Cigarillos in San Rafael, Bulacan.
17:54According to the BIR, the operation is messy and messy.
17:59Aside from the messiness we are looking for, we see a lot of messiness because it's just on the side.
18:05They don't have proper sanitation on how they do it and the facilities are very dirty.
18:12Peking Cigarillos also found three warehouses in Valenzuela.
18:16Some have no tax stamps while others have Peking tax stamps.
18:21The three Chinese and one Filipino workers of the said warehouses were arrested here.
18:27Sir, do you know that you're working for illegal operations here in the Philippines?
18:32No.
18:33You don't know, sir?
18:35How long have you been working here?
18:37According to the police, they are now cooperating with various government agencies to investigate the documents of those arrested.
18:45They have a Philippine driver's license and we are investigating them because they have local addresses.
18:54We will verify this with the LTO.
18:56We have already coordinated with the Interagency Committee Against Trafficking.
19:00We will send a communication to the BI and request assistance for the disposition of foreigners.
19:09The police continue to trace those behind the illegal operation.
19:12We have already identified them and we are already in the process of tracking them down.
19:17We are looking for the lessees, the people who signed the contracts here, and we will identify them.
19:25According to the BIR, there is a huge problem with the issuance of tax stamps.
19:30According to the BIR, they plan to issue a mechanism in 2026 so that consumers will know using their mobile phones
19:37if the products they buy are fake or legitimate.
19:40According to the BIR's reminder to consumers, even if it is cheaper to sell pecking cigarettes, it should not be used.
19:49Why? Because aside from being illegal, it does not comply with the standards.
19:55This is the first news from Valenzuela.
