NewsTranscript
00:00It's almost Php10 million, and the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission has opened another Php5 million worth of 12-volt batteries
00:23to the BPO in Bagac, Bataan.
00:26The defense of the company is using this for their operations,
00:29to pay employees and pay suppliers and others,
00:33and they are not hiding anything.
00:35Salima Refran has the first news.
00:37Break-open 12 of 14 safety vaults inside the premises.
00:45Under the break-open order of the court,
00:4812 money vaults will be opened to the BPO in Central 1, Bataan in Bagac, Bataan.
00:54Those who cannot be opened by the company's access code,
00:57will be classed by the Bureau of Fire Protection using portable spreader and other equipment.
01:03The money was found in bulk.
01:06Some were wrapped with Php1 million and in plastic.
01:11U.S. dollars and other currencies were also found.
01:15The inventory of CIDG continues here in one of the 12 vaults in Central 1, Bataan.
01:21Aside from counting the money,
01:23they were also able to get documents that will be under the investigation of the authorities.
01:29These were witnessed by the bodies of PAOK, CIDG, AMLOC, and Central 1, Bataan.
01:37More than Php76 million and almost Php167,000 U.S. dollars,
01:43or almost Php10 million, were obtained in just 5 vaults.
01:49The money is not included here in other currencies,
01:52such as Malaysian Ringgit and Singapore Dollar.
01:55Two vaults were first opened by the BPO in October,
02:00which contained more than Php30 million.
02:05This money is for operations.
02:07It's a big company employing 1,600 employees.
02:12So this money is used for operations, for salary, for payment of various suppliers, etc.
02:20We are here cooperating with the authorities.
02:23We are not hiding anything.
02:25The BPO's authorities will remember October 31
02:29because of the allegations that it was involved in back-end operations
02:33of illegal gaming and gambling platforms in other countries.
02:37According to PAOK, the BPO did not receive a permit from the PAGCORP.
02:41It was denied by the leadership of Central 1, Bataan.
02:45This is the first news in 5 words for GMA Integrated Gives.
02:51After 14 years of imprisonment and death sentence in Indonesia,
02:56Mary Jane Veloso will be able to return to the Philippines.
02:59Let's go back to how the case of Veloso started in Indonesia.
03:04Veloso was arrested after the heroine saw his suitcase
03:08at Yogyakarta Airport in Indonesia on April 2010.
03:12Veloso explained that he had no knowledge of illegal drugs
03:15and that the suitcase came from his recruiter.
03:18In October of the same year, he was found guilty of drug trafficking
03:22and was placed in death row.
03:24After that, the government of the Philippines asked
03:27the former Indonesian President Joko Widodo
03:30to give Veloso a clemency and he was denied several times.
03:34Five years later, Veloso was found to have executed
03:38other drug convicts in Indonesia.
03:41But Veloso's firing squad did not continue.
03:44The firing squad of Veloso was stopped after President Noynoy Aquino
03:48gathered in Indonesia.
03:50Next, the recruiter of Veloso, Christina Sergio,
03:53went to the police.
03:55Aquino said that Veloso will be a state witness
03:57against the syndicates that recruited him.
04:00Indonesia agreed to give Veloso an indefinite reprieve
04:03so that he can give a testimony against Sergio
04:07and his other recruiter, Julius Lakanilaw.
04:10After the termination of Aquino
04:12and the appointment of President Rodrigo Duterte,
04:15the position of the Philippines changed in the case of Veloso.
04:19Duterte will not block Indonesia's decision
04:22in accordance with their law.
04:24In 2022, when President Bongbong Marcos became president,
04:28Veloso's family asked for a clemency in Indonesia
04:32for Mary Jane.
04:34Aside from the clemency, the government did not stop
04:37so that Veloso's sentence can be lowered.
04:40In September, Indonesian President-Elect Prabowo Subianto
04:43visited the country
04:45and President Marcos spoke directly to the case of Veloso.
04:49And after two months,
04:51President Marcos announced that
04:53Veloso can be transferred to a prison in the Philippines.
04:59In 34 days, Christmas is here,
05:01Christmas is still being celebrated
05:03in various parts of the country.
05:05A colorful splash of the theme Under the Sea
05:08is the theme of the Christmas tree
05:10in a hotel in Malabar, Batangas.
05:12It is adorned with ornaments of starfish,
05:14seashells, pearls, and other sea creatures.
05:17The color of the sea is also perfect
05:19with the designs of gifts under the tree.
05:23In Pasig, the holiday is revealed,
05:25the Victor Wall.
05:27Next week,
05:28the visitors can write their Christmas wishes there.
05:32The event became a jolly
05:34with the performances of two choirs
05:36while the giant Victor Statue is watched from behind.
05:43Once again,
05:44One Direction members are together
05:46for the funeral of the late Liam Payne in London.
05:49Harry Styles, Zane Malick, Louis Tomlinson, and Niall Horan were there,
05:53along with the relatives and other friends of Liam,
05:56such as British Got Talent judge Simon Cowell.
05:59A private church service was held for Liam
06:01at St. Mary's Church.
06:03Some Directioners were also there.
06:05They put a floral tribute of Daddy
06:07for Liam outside the church.
06:09The Directioners also gave a tribute
06:11at the Wolverhampton Memorial
06:13where they accompanied flowers,
06:15teddy bears, and pictures of the singer.
06:17A month ago,
06:18Liam passed away after a fall
06:20from the balcony of a hotel
06:22in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
06:25After more than a decade of the Philippines' appeal
06:28to the government of Indonesia,
06:30finally,
06:31Mary Jane Veloso was released from prison.
06:34She will go back to the Philippines
06:36but she will go straight to prison.
06:38The parents and lawyer of Mary Jane
06:40asked for absolute clemency.
06:43We have the latest news from Ivan Myrina.
06:47Mary Jane Veloso's work was desired
06:49by other countries in April 2010.
06:51But she said it was beyond her knowledge.
06:53She was forced to go to her luggage
06:55of an Indonesian recruiter
06:57which contained more than two kilos of heroin.
06:59She was discovered when she arrived
07:01at Yogyakarta Airport.
07:03Six months after that,
07:05she was found guilty of drug trafficking
07:07and sentenced to death.
07:09We are afraid.
07:11We are afraid of what will happen to us.
07:14We are afraid.
07:16I was in prison
07:18because of the recruiter.
07:20We are afraid.
07:21They say they are an international syndicate.
07:24Maybe they will kill us one by one
07:26or they will kill our children in Indonesia.
07:29After more than a decade of death row,
07:32Mary Jane will go back to the Philippines.
07:34This is the happiest moment
07:36in our whole family's life,
07:38especially her children.
07:40There must be a reason for the president
07:43to be this confident.
07:45If you meet my written agreement,
07:48there is still no answer.
07:50But they are the first to come to us
07:53to talk about this.
07:55So, we're extremely confident it will happen.
07:58And certainly, our president
08:01must be privy of information
08:03which would explain his confidence.
08:05President Bongbong Marcos said
08:07he will send her home.
08:09After more than a decade
08:11of negotiations with the Indonesian government,
08:13he thanked the new president of Indonesia,
08:16Prabowo Subianto.
08:18It took 14 years and three administrations
08:21to reach an agreement to save Veloso's life.
08:24The Philippines has repeatedly
08:26filed a case against him.
08:27In April 2015,
08:29Veloso was found guilty of 10 convictions
08:31in Indonesia.
08:34But President Noy Akino
08:36and Indonesian President Joko Widodo
08:40sought clemency for Mary Jane.
08:43Akino also spoke directly on the phone.
08:45Indonesian Foreign Minister Noy
08:47proposed to consider Veloso
08:49as a witness against those who recruited him.
08:52The Indonesian government understated
08:54the implementation of the death sentence
08:57on our countrywoman, Mary Jane Veloso.
09:02Peace, peace.
09:05Peace to the people of the Philippines.
09:09Long live Mary Jane Veloso.
09:12Long live.
09:14This was followed by the police
09:16pursuit of Veloso's recruiter,
09:18Cristina Serio,
09:19who is facing qualified traffic in persons,
09:22illegal recruitment, and estafa.
09:24When the Duterte administration entered,
09:27the Philippines' position was
09:29to do what is in the Indonesian law.
09:32He said, follow your own laws.
09:35I will not interfere.
09:36Indonesia allowed Veloso
09:38to testify against Serio
09:41and his other recruiter,
09:43Julius Lacanilau.
09:45Until September 2022,
09:47when President Marcos
09:49re-elected Veloso's family
09:51and asked Widodo
09:53for executive clemency.
09:55But Widodo's term ended
09:57and Mary Jane's case was not resolved.
09:59When Indonesian President Prabowo Sobyanto
10:01took office,
10:03the atmosphere changed.
10:05Indonesian Chief Minister
10:07for Law and Human Rights,
10:08Yusril Izyamahendra,
10:10allowed Veloso to return
10:12under the new Indonesian police,
10:14the Transfer of Prisoners.
10:16The Philippines accepted
10:17their conditions for this,
10:19despite their court's decision.
10:22So when Mary Jane returned to the Philippines,
10:24she did not stay in Nueva Ecija,
10:26but in Piitan,
10:28where the government is still targeting.
10:30The Correctional Institute for Women in Mandaluyong
10:32is one of the places
10:34that Mary Jane can go.
10:36Mary Jane was safely released from prison
10:38because Indonesia
10:40did not have a death penalty in the Philippines.
10:42When she came here,
10:44she will be serving the sentence
10:46that was meted in Indonesia.
10:48She will continue her sentence.
10:50I think it's worth emphasizing also
10:52that the most important
10:54aspect of this all is
10:56the difference in our laws.
10:58There, they allowed the death penalty.
11:00Here, we all know that it was abolished.
11:02So we don't have a death sentence here.
11:04Yusril Izyamahendra,
11:06under the authority of President Marcos,
11:08was pardoned by Veloso.
11:10This is what his lawyers want to happen.
11:12Our pressure
11:14is absolute clemency,
11:16which even the Coordinating Minister
11:18of Indonesia
11:20expressly stated
11:22that it's now going to be
11:24the responsibility of the Philippine authorities
11:26whether or not
11:28to grant clemency.
11:30I hope that Mary Jane can go home
11:32and not be jailed.
11:34I ask the government
11:36to let Mary Jane
11:38go home.
11:40This is the first news.
11:42Ivan Meirina
11:44for GMA Integrated News.
11:46Meanwhile, US Secretary of
11:48Defense Lloyd Austin
11:50was deterred at the Command and Control
11:52Fusion Center in Palawan.
11:54National Defense Secretary Gilbert Chedoro
11:56was with Austin.
11:58Austin thanked the American soldiers
12:00who were part of the US Task Force Ayungin.
12:02According to the Armed Forces of the Philippines,
12:04the technical assistance
12:06provided by the American troops
12:08is of great importance.
12:10It helped in the activities of our military
12:12to protect the interests of the Philippines
12:14in the West Philippine Sea.
12:18It was shown
12:20by the camera how the money
12:22was disbursed
12:24to a former official
12:26of the Department of Education
12:28within a day.
12:30In the investigation of the Office of the Vice President,
12:32aside from the signature
12:34of Mary Grace Piatos in their document,
12:36the signature of
12:38Kokoy Villamin was also examined.
12:40Here's the first news
12:42of Marisol Abdurrahman.
12:44In the continuation of the hearing
12:46of the House Committee on Good Government
12:48and Public Accountability,
12:50it turns out that not only
12:52Mary Grace Piatos,
12:54the questionable signature
12:56in the Acknowledgement Receipts
12:58of the Office of the Vice President,
13:00but also the signature
13:02of Kokoy Villamin,
13:04is the same as the signature
13:06of the Department of Education,
13:08but the signature is different.
13:10On the left side,
13:12that's from the OVP.
13:14On the other side,
13:16it's from DepEd.
13:42...their signature, Mr. Chair.
14:12...from Malolos, Davao,
14:14San Francisco, Agusan del Sur,
14:16Makati City, Negros Oriental,
14:18Negros Occidental, and Davao City.
14:20In Pasig Pona, in Cache,
14:22and immediately the next day,
14:24he traveled to these seven places
14:26and had these seven ARs.
14:28Did this not raise a red flag
14:30of the impossibility of this occurring?
14:32Well, it does, sir.
14:34...and according to Congressman
14:36Ross Gutierrez, on March 15,
14:38there were 26
14:40ARs disbursed by POJARDA
14:42to different places in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
14:56The camera wants to verify
14:58to the Philippine Statistics Authority
15:00if there are real people
15:02who signed the ARs.
15:04It will also be referred to NBI and PNP
15:06to verify the signatures.
15:08POJARDA will testify to the OVP officials
15:10who did not participate in the hearing
15:12despite the committee's
15:14sight-and-contempt.
15:16Former Deputy Assistant Secretary
15:18Sunshine Chary POJARDA,
15:20OVP Special Disbursing Officer Gina Acosta,
15:22and Assistant Chief of Staff
15:24and Business and Awards Committee Chair
15:26Lemuel Ortonio were also notified.
15:28Ortonio was again contempted by the committee
15:30and was ordered to be imprisoned
15:32in Micutan for 10 days.
15:34Ortonio wrote that he will attend
15:36the hearing and asked to remove
15:38the contempt order against him
15:40but he did not come.
15:42Vice President Sara Duterte did not attend
15:44the hearing.
15:46She said that she was just wasting her time
15:48because she was not asked
15:50when she last attended.
15:52Visayas said that there was no misuse
15:54of her confidential fund.
15:56This is also what Visayas said
15:58in her letter to the committee.
16:00But the committee said that they did not ask
16:02Visayas when she attended
16:04their oath.
16:06They also invited the Vice President several times
16:08to attend the hearing.
16:30It came out in the hearing
16:32that the Commission on Audit was ordered
16:34to say that the Chief of the Camera
16:36will not follow
16:38the audit reports
16:40about the confidential funds of the OVP.
16:42She said that
16:44Vice President Sara Duterte knows this.
17:02We requested that
17:04since the audit is not yet completed
17:06it is not right
17:08to give
17:10such documents
17:12But Attorney Lopez
17:14that is not a call for you to make.
17:16Right?
17:18Precisely because
17:20you are the agency
17:22that is being investigated.
17:24You're asking another agency
17:26not to cooperate with Congress
17:28when an ongoing
17:30investigation
17:32is happening.
17:36I truly apologize
17:38if there was something
17:40in that letter that slighted you on a personal
17:42note. It was not
17:44my intention, Your Honor.
17:46And I would like to request to the
17:48members of the Honorable Committee
17:50to lift
17:52that contempt order
17:54or to reconsider
17:56and grant my request, Your Honor,
17:58to meet me in contempt.
18:00We will have the next meeting on
18:02November 25, Mr. Chair.
18:04So I move that until
18:06November 25.
18:08Which is on Monday.
18:10May we request the
18:12Sergeant at Arms
18:14to arrange
18:16a room
18:18here in the vicinity
18:20of the House of
18:22Representatives.

21:16EJ Gomez. EJ?
21:22Despite the heavy traffic on the Edsa Busway,
21:26many drivers and riders continue to pass through here.
21:31Earlier this morning, at 5.30 am, the operation of the bus started.
21:34And now, the number of motorists is at 18.
21:39Most of those who were caught were motorcyclists.
21:46Some of them discovered that the motorcycles were not registered for several years and did not bring an ORCR.
21:52Some riders were allowed to pass through the busway due to the haste in getting to work.
21:57A patient with an ambulance but without a travel ticket was stopped by the driver.
22:04The driver has a complete document including the license and ORCR that were shown to the MMDA officers.
22:14He was attacked by a truck.
22:20May I have your license?
22:22License?
22:23Yes.
22:24Why, sir, you don't have a travel ticket?
22:26Because it's an emergency, ma'am.
22:28It's an emergency.
22:29You didn't get it?
22:31We went to the hospital, Ma'am PJH, but they didn't have anything.
22:40That's why they brought us here.
22:44But they only gave us medicine.
22:47Actually, I shouldn't have passed through there.
22:50But it's too late.
22:52I'll just accept it.
22:53It's my first time to be caught again.
23:01Because it's rush hour, the traffic here in the southbound lane of St. Olan Station is heavy.
23:11Most of our passengers are going to work.
23:15But the MMDA is reminding us that aside from the authorized vehicles of the LTFRB,
23:23only the emergency vehicles and vehicles of the government can pass through here.
23:33And that's the first news from Quezon City.
