00:00Live from the GMA Network Center,
00:0420 years have passed, 24 hours.
00:11Good evening, Luzon Visayas and Mindanao.
00:15A Taiwanese supplier of firearms of several FOGOs in the country has been arrested.
00:22He is wanted not only in the Philippines but also abroad because of illegal drugs and other crimes.
00:28He was once targeted during a raid in a condo in Makati
00:31where dozens of firearms were recovered.
00:34Jun Veneracion was arrested.
00:40Last March, police raided a condo unit in Makati City
00:45which resulted in the confiscation of more than 80 firearms and hundreds of bullets.
00:50Aside from handguns, there were also assault rifles.
00:54But the raiding team was not able to reach the target of the operation,
00:58the Taiwanese fugitive, Zhang Zhang Yadong.
01:02More than a year has passed since he was arrested yesterday
01:06during the operation of the PNP, AFP, and Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission, or PAOC.
01:12On December 12, someone gave us information that he was in a mall in Makati
01:17with his friends in a restaurant.
01:21So when we went there, it was time for them to leave.
01:26It's a good thing that we were able to catch him.
01:27We were able to track his whereabouts.
01:29The suspect is also wanted in Taiwan because of his involvement in illegal drugs and other organized crime.
01:35When he escaped to the Philippines,
01:37the suspect established his own organized crime group for his scamming and gunrunning activities.
01:44He is the supplier of firearms, firearms of FOGOs.
01:49And you know, what we investigated last year,
01:56most of the FOGO workers were killed by firearms.
02:02The suspect was jailed in Makati City Police Station,
02:05but the media did not allow him to be seen.
02:08According to PAOC monitoring,
02:10150 small FOGOs are still operating in condominiums, resorts, and gated communities.
02:20For GMA Integrated News, June Vanara Show, 24 Hours.
02:26The camera returned the contempt order against some of the FOGO employees, including Alice Goh.
02:33Cited in contempt is a former PDEA official
02:36who was convicted of fraud, but was not jailed.
02:42Tina Panganiban Perez has the story.
02:48Congressmen were enraged when the former head of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency,
02:56who had no knowledge of the warrantless arrest of Jed Pilapil-C,
03:01the wife of the former drug suspect, Alan C.,
03:04was arrested a few years ago.
03:06Since it's already delegated to my investigator,
03:10I don't know how many days he was there.
03:15As to detaining her, I have no personal knowledge, Mr. Chair.
03:24DG, you are the head of the agency.
03:27You should know that.
03:29And I don't lie, Mr. Chair.
03:31You're not lying. You lie.
03:33Just a few minutes ago,
03:38in front of me,
03:40you said that the authority was delegated to your personnel.
03:46Yes, Mr. Chair.
03:47When the chairman asked me,
03:50you admitted it.
03:52Question of command responsibility.
03:54I move to cite in contempt,
03:57General Wilkins, please excuse us.
04:00Wilkins-Villanueva also admitted that he did not have an intelligence report
04:04regarding the drug use of Michael Yang,
04:06who was the presidential economic advisor during the administration of Duterte.
04:10In the report of Col. Asierto,
04:13he always told us that he had an intelligence report against Michael Yang.
04:18During the time we were together, we did not have Michael Yang.
04:22In the spirit of Christmas,
04:24instead of immediately arresting and detaining the former PDA chief Villanueva,
04:30the Quadcom decided to start his punishment on January 13, 2025
04:36if they were able to return to the show of Congress after their Christmas break.
04:41The contempt and detention order was lifted against Brother Yang, Tony Yang,
04:46because he was under the custody of the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission or PAOC,
04:51due to immigration violations.
04:54The contempt order against Alice Goh was also lifted
04:57because she was imprisoned by the court in Pasig City Jail
05:01because they are facing a case of human trafficking without bail.
05:05The contempt order against Cassandra Ok,
05:08who was connected to some POGO members, was also lifted
05:11due to her medical condition.
05:13Although the PAOC has requested a precautionary hold departure against her.
05:18The contempt order against Police Major Leo Larraga,
05:23who was connected to those who served as search warrants
05:26to the former Albuera-Leyte Mayor Orlando Espinoza,
05:29was also lifted.
05:30He was taken home with a gun and his accomplice.
05:33For GMA Integrated News, Tina Panganiban Perez,
05:37for Tutok, 24 Hours.
05:40It is now time for the time of love.
05:44The love of some billions.
05:47And it is possible that it will continue as Christmas approaches.
05:52Bernadette Rey is in Tutok.
05:58Some families were inspected by the officials of the Department of Agriculture
06:02less than two weeks before Christmas.
06:05According to the DA, although the prices of the main products are stable for now,
06:09only a few increased.
06:12In the Pasay Public Market, for example,
06:14Liempo is P390.
06:16Kasib is P320.
06:18Selling is more expensive, especially as the problem of African Swine Fever continues.
06:23The whole chicken is P200,
06:25while the Kilo of Choice Cuts is P220.
06:29They said that the increase will start at P5.
06:32We are also complaining.
06:34Of course, we will choose what is cheap.
06:36We will start at P175.
06:39The increase is big.
06:42For now, it is Christmas.
06:44I think we cannot stop the price from increasing.
06:50Especially with the ASF pass on pork.
06:54But earlier, I saw Bangus and Tilapia.
06:56Actually, the price is right.
06:59The live Tilapia is P140.
07:00The Bangus is P170.
07:02That's right.
07:03Unfortunately, I didn't see any imported fish earlier.
07:07So, it looks like we are short in Galunggong.
07:11The price of eggs did not move in the Pasay Public Market,
07:14but it increased in some families.
07:16It's just a split.
07:18All of us who are supplying can get it.
07:22When the price fell six months ago,
07:26and those who sell eggs are losing money,
07:28they cut their layers
07:31to sell and earn money.
07:33Now, the demand is increasing.
07:37Because of Christmas,
07:39they are now importing hatching eggs
07:44to lay eggs.
07:45So, maybe by February, it will go down again.
07:49According to the Department of Agriculture,
07:51they cannot avoid increasing the price of agricultural products
07:55during Christmas
07:56because of the increasing demand.
07:58But the Secretariat of Agriculture has talked to market vendors.
08:02I think the price now is this.
08:04It should not increase anymore
08:06because this is almost the peak, I think.
08:09If there is an increase, it should be just 5%.
08:12But I think this is it.
08:14This is a bit high.
08:15Those who will buy,
08:17they just have to discard it
08:18so that the budget is enough for Christmas and the new year.
08:21For example, for spaghetti, it's just half a kilo.
08:24If there are canned goods,
08:26I cook it.
08:27If there is, if not, I don't.
08:28If Christmas is still long,
08:29I buy it little by little
08:31so that when Christmas comes, it won't be heavy.
08:34For the GMA Integrated News,
08:36Bernadette Reyes was arrested for 24 hours.
08:40She was acquitted for murder
08:42but she will be paid for the kidnapping
08:44by the close friend of the accused model,
08:46Julian Rodelas.
08:48Guilty for murder,
08:50the fiancé of the aforementioned suspect.
08:52Salima Refran was arrested.
08:58It's been 12 years since the death of Julian Rodelas
09:02and Julian Rodelas was a model in Caucasian City.
09:05He was not yet recognized
09:07as he had bullets in his head and body.
09:09But because of the receipt,
09:11in the bag of burgers and fries that he was holding,
09:14it was discovered that his best friend
09:17and fellow model, Althea Altamirano, was involved.
09:19She was Rodelas' last companion that night
09:22before he was found dead.
09:24She was crying
09:25as she was lamenting the kidnapping of Rodelas
09:28in front of the World Trade Center
09:29after they watched a movie.
09:31The man was on his back
09:33and the car was closed.
09:37Even the sandals that he was wearing
09:39fell on the roadside.
09:41But the man who jumped
09:43was Althea Altamirano's boyfriend,
09:45Fernando Quiambao Jr.
09:47and they were accused of murder.
09:49Earlier, Quiambao was found guilty beyond reasonable doubt
09:52by Quezon City RTC Branch 223
09:55and was sentenced to life imprisonment
09:58from 20 to 40 years in prison.
10:01He was also fined
10:03for almost half a million pesos.
10:06When the police investigated the case,
10:09they found in the CCTV of the fast food chain
10:12that Quiambao bought the burger and fries
10:14that Rodelas was holding.
10:16The plate that Quiambao was driving,
10:18which was an SUV,
10:19collided with Rodelas' car
10:20when he saw that he threw his gun.
10:22But Rodelas' best friend, Althea Altamirano,
10:25was acquitted.
10:27The court said,
10:28although it was proven that Altamirano
10:30tried to kidnap Rodelas,
10:33it was not proven beyond reasonable doubt
10:36that he had an ally to kill him.
10:38What was proven, according to the court,
10:40was that Rodelas had an ally
10:42to teach him a lesson.
10:44Quiambao went out asking for a decision
10:47and the one who let him kill Rodelas
10:49after he met him.
10:51The court is giving the possibility
10:54that maybe Altamirano didn't know
10:56that Rodelas had a plan to kill him.
10:58Both in the story of Altamirano in the media.
11:02Despite the fact that I was helping Giagia,
11:05I was counting her clothes,
11:07I was fixing her clothes,
11:08then she was teasing me.
11:11My boyfriend got angry.
11:14He told me to teach him a lesson,
11:17to beat him up.
11:19I didn't know that they were planning
11:21to kill him.
11:23I'm sorry.
11:24I know that I'm sorry for everything.
11:27I know that it's my fault.
11:29Altamirano was ordered to be released
11:31from the Quezon City Jail.
11:33But he was paid a fine of P100,000
11:36for his involvement in the kidnapping.
11:39A long search for justice
11:41for the murder of Julian Rodelas.
11:44That's why the Rodelas family
11:46did not accept the acquittal of Altamirano.
11:49It really hurts.
11:50That's why I want him to be imprisoned.
11:52My son did not die,
11:54but he was not the reason.
11:56We will appeal to the court
11:58so that he will be imprisoned.
12:00We expect an automatic review
12:03of the Supreme Court.
12:05Because it will be read in the record
12:08the strong evidence of the prosecution.
12:12The lawyers of Nakiambau and Altamirano
12:15did not give a statement.
12:17For GMA Integrated News,
12:19Salima Rafra,
12:20for 24 Hours.
