00:00We will be together in Saksi!
00:14Before Saksi, the fire is almost covered with black smoke.
00:18In Manila Bay, after it was burned, the Philippine Coast Guard immediately responded to put out the fire.
00:24They will also carry out the initial investigation.
00:28Calvario, the bumper-to-bumper traffic on the Andaya Highway in Lupi, or Lupi, Camarines Sur.
00:35It is full of damaged roads, road re-blocking, and landslides.
00:39Only one lane can be passed in some places.
00:42And the previous one-hour trip is now reaching five hours, and it is possible that Christmas will come soon.
00:48Various government agencies have already helped in managing the traffic.
00:52And the DPWH has also started to fix the landslide.
00:57The DPWH Region 5 asked for an explanation for the fire and assured that they have already solved the problem.
01:09A group of armed men is now looking for a Chinese national who was accused of being the boss of Pogo in Paranaque.
01:16The victim's bodyguard and guard were arrested because it is possible that he was involved in a crime.
01:21Saksi! See you in Veneration!
01:26Upon entering the backyard of the house in a subdivision in Paranaque City,
01:30six armed men immediately approached the bodyguard and disarmed him.
01:35The next man approached him.
01:37After a few minutes, the Chinese national was released from the house.
01:41He was handcuffed while being held by two men.
01:44Here, this is Mr. ***.
01:48They were wearing high-heels.
01:51They entered the house around 3.20 p.m. and left the house around 3.50 p.m.
01:59They were inside the village for about 30 minutes.
02:02The armed men were wearing clothes and a vest with a police tag on the back.
02:08But according to the Paranaque City Police, they are not real police.
02:12They just pretended to be police officers.
02:16According to the security at Gate 1,
02:19they recognized the police officers and there was an operation inside.
02:23They will serve a warrant of arrest.
02:26That's why Mr. *** just pretended to be police officers so that they can enter the house quickly.
02:32Based on the information obtained by the investigators,
02:35the victim is a businessman and is considered to be the boss of Pogo in Paranaque.
02:40They are still investigating who is the leader of the group that went around
02:43and until now, there is no ransom demand.
02:46One of the morals of the Chinese is that if they are not able to pay their debts,
02:51they will have their countrymen kidnapped.
02:56They will also have their relatives in China arrested.
03:00This is also related to Pogo.
03:03Based on the investigation of the police,
03:05one of the suspects is a former guard of the subdivision.
03:08He was seen by a witness who talked to the victim's bodyguard and bodyguard.
03:13They were not far from his house a few days before the crime.
03:16When I went out to investigate, they were in the vicinity of the incident.
03:20That's why we arrested them.
03:22Because of this, the victim's bodyguard and bodyguard were arrested.
03:26They are facing the charges of kidnapping and the seven suspects that they are still looking for.
03:31What is your name sir?
03:33I am the bodyguard.
03:35Are you the bodyguard?
03:37I am the driver.
03:38The driver and bodyguard?
03:40He is the security guard.
03:42I am the one in charge of the security guard.
03:45For GMA Integrated News, I am your host, Jun Veracion.
03:49Saksi!
03:51More than Php 60 million worth of shabu was found in the luggage of a foreign woman in IA.
03:57The suspect introduced the student in the Philippines,
04:00but there is no mention of the name of the school.
04:03Saksi!
04:04This is Marisol Abdurrahman.
04:08We are trying to release her.
04:09This woman was arrested in IA Terminal 3,
04:12after she was caught inside her luggage.
04:16According to the PNP-FC group,
04:17the drug was found in the false compartment of her bag.
04:21It was not found.
04:22It was designed to mislead our inspectors.
04:27But upon closer inspection,
04:29and with the help of our canines,
04:32we will know that there is indeed a content.
04:35Our canine was positive for drugs.
04:40We opened the luggage in the presence of our drug interdiction task group.
04:46When we found out that it was drugs, it was tested.
04:49More than Php 60 million worth of shabu
04:53was found in the luggage of a 33-year-old Zambian national.
04:58The student introduced the student in the Philippines,
05:01but it was the first time that her passport was found in the country.
05:05She does not have a school,
05:08and she does not have any reservations or dormitories.
05:12A suspect drove a hot flight from Addis Ababa Airport in Ethiopia.
05:17That is why the authorities here in the Philippines are concerned.
05:21According to the PNP-FC group,
05:23hot flight is the name of the flights that are accompanied by the country
05:27where the drug was brought from.
05:30We already have info from our foreign counterparts,
05:33and we have prior information that the drugs usually come from that destination.
05:39We are already initiating behavior surveillance.
05:43The suspect is being connected to a drug syndicate
05:46that has not been released yet.
05:49For GMA Integrated News,
05:51Marisol Abdurrahman is your witness.
05:55Last Thursday, before Christmas,
05:57let's talk about the situation in PITX.
06:00And in Saksila, we have Vonn Aquino.
06:03Vonn?
06:08Tia, yesterday, the passengers from PITX
06:12were going home to their provinces to celebrate Christmas.
06:19Almarelio, who was assigned to Marinesur,
06:21traveled early so that it won't be difficult to travel on weekends
06:24when the passengers are expected to land.
06:27Richard, who is an OFW from Taiwan,
06:30will travel to Quezon.
06:32While the passengers are landing,
06:34security is also tight inside the terminal.
06:37Luggage is being inspected and there are K-9 units as well.
06:41According to the PITX,
06:43tomorrow until Monday,
06:45the peak of the arrival of passengers traveling to the province for Christmas is expected.
06:52So that it won't affect the flow of passengers going home.
07:02Tia, according to the PITX,
07:04as of 8 p.m.,
07:05more than 160,000 passengers have arrived at the terminal.
07:10As of now, there are no fully booked flights.
07:13And live from PITX,
07:15for GMA Integrated News,
07:17I am Vonn Aquino, your witness.
07:20More and more passengers are arriving at airports and airports
07:24as Christmas approaches.
07:25And at the Northport Passenger Terminal in Manila,
07:28the aircon is being fixed and new x-ray machines are being installed.
07:32Witness, Chino Gaston.
07:38Three new x-ray machines were installed at the Northport Passenger Terminal
07:42to speed up the inspection.
07:45Other facilities are also being fixed
07:48especially to help women, senior citizens, and PWD.
07:53The new centralized air-conditioning system is also being finished.
07:57The luggage will be placed there more quickly,
08:01and our luggage x-ray operators will be able to see
08:06if there are any prohibited luggage.
08:11Because it is expected to be more comfortable at the terminal,
08:14even Jocelyn had to wait for hours
08:17to get home from Bacolod City.
08:19It's okay.
08:20We are early because sometimes there is traffic.
08:22It's better to be early.
08:24According to the Philippine Ports Authority,
08:26it is possible that 4.5 million passengers
08:29will pass through the border
08:31from December 15 until the end of the Christmas season on January 3.
08:35The majority will pass through Batangas Port
08:37where the RORE buses go to Visayas and Mindanao.
08:41In IA-3,
08:43there will be heavy traffic of vehicles at the departure area of the terminal.
08:47There will also be queues at check-in counters of international and domestic flights.
08:51According to the Manila International Airport Authority,
08:54140,000 to 150,000 passengers pass through IA every day
09:00from the start of the Christmas season on December 15
09:04and up to 156,000 when December 22 arrives.
09:08For GMA Integrated News,
09:10here's who your witness is.
09:13The New Year's greetings of those who can get a new design of P50, P100, and P500
09:22which is also made of polymer
09:24will be available to banks on December 23
09:27but only in the Greater Manila Area.
09:30Witness, Marie Zumali.
09:35This is the Visayan Leopard Cap, also known as Maral.
09:39It can be found in Negros and Panay Islands
09:42and is considered vulnerable or endangered
09:45in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species of 2008.
09:49A Visayan Leopard Cap
09:51in the new-looking polymer banknotes of Banco Central
09:55contains endangered and native species of animals and flowers,
10:00wild animals, and native hobbies in the Philippines.
10:04This is what the new polymer banknotes look like
10:07or what we will see in circulation starting next week.
10:11Aside from Php 1,000 for the Philippine Eagle,
10:15the Visayan Spotted Deer, Palawan Peacock Pheasant for Php 100,
10:23and the Visayan Leopard Cap for Php 50 are also included in the Php 500 bill.
10:28The first Philippine polymer banknote series is smarter, cleaner, and stronger.
10:35Smarter because they have advanced anti-counterfeiting features
10:40and a smaller carbon footprint.
10:43Cleaner because viruses and bacteria do not survive on polymer
10:49as long as they do on paper.
10:52And stronger because they last longer than their paper counterparts.
10:57And if they do get dirty, you can easily wipe them off
11:01with a damp cloth without any damage to the banknote whatsoever.
11:06Another key advantage is security.
11:09Counterfeiting has always been a problem for economies around the world.
11:13But polymer banknotes are a notable progressive change.
11:18Their advanced security features make it more difficult to replicate.
11:22Starting December 23, new banknotes can be obtained from banks.
11:27But this is limited to the Greater Manila Area.
11:30In January, their circulation will spread across the country.
11:33According to the BSP, old banknotes can still be used.
11:37This is a counterfeit. You cannot trade it.
11:40This is plastic, so it will really get damaged.
11:43For GMA Integrated News, I'm Maryse Umaliang.
11:46Saksi!
12:00.
