00:00An anti-scam center is formed by the Department of Information and Communications Technology to fight frauds such as text spoofing.

00:09These are fraudulent texts that imitate the names of companies or agencies in order to enter the legitimate text thread.

00:16It is also expected that it will be used in the election of 2025.

00:19Darlene Cai's telecom and DICT are excited about this news.

00:24Text spoofing is a form of fraudulent texting that imitates the names of companies or agencies in order to enter the legitimate text thread.

00:40It's scary to infiltrate businesses and government agencies because you don't know what they can do with the information they get.

00:51Text spoofing is what is called here, where text scammers imitate the sender ID or name of a company or government agency.

00:58That's why sometimes, their messages enter the legitimate text thread.

01:03The Commission on Elections or COMELEC will be in charge of using text spoofing in the election of 2025.

01:09Even in the election, misinformation, disinformation, and fake news are more of a threat.

01:15It can be shown that a person is bad. It can be shown that he will vote for a group.

01:20It can be shown that a candidate is withdrawing.

01:23All of these are possibilities for our new method.

01:26That's why I urge the people to always countercheck.

01:31COMELEC is also afraid that the textblast machines used in textblast are upgraded.

01:36It can be shown that you are the one spreading these texts even if it's not you.

01:42You can put your number even if it's not your cell phone number.

01:46Or for example, you can say that you are being helped by your family.

01:51People will go to you even if those texts are not from you.

01:56Even the First Family and other well-known politicians are targeted by text spoofing according to reports received by Globe.

02:02In a statement, Globe said that the spoofers of Peking Cell Towers and International Mobile Subscriber Identity or IMS Skycatcher

02:10which is a portable device that targets mobile users within a limited radius

02:15and downgrades their signals to 2G.

02:17Text spoofing does not exist in Globe's network.

02:21Globe is now investigating. The authorities and other partners are happy to avoid this again.

02:26Globe also reminded to be alert to the alleged text messages.

02:31They will no longer send messages related to politics.

02:34We are still trying to get a Malacanang permit and they said they will still check it.

02:39SMART first said that they are cooperating with the NTC and Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center or CICC

02:45to stop the use of fake cell towers and to catch scammers.

02:49There is no doubt that DICT Secretary Ivan Jonuy will use the malicious text spoofing in the election.

02:56That's why they are cooperating with Comelec, Telco and other government agencies.

03:01We're currently setting up also an anti-scam center

03:06so that if the public receives anything like that,

03:09they can refer it immediately to our anti-scam center

03:13and we will tell them whether that is authentic, real or fake.

03:18So that someone can go there. Because now, it's all over the place.

03:23DICT's reminder to the public to be more alert.

03:27Don't click on the link in the text message.

03:29And double check the information in the official sources before you believe it.

03:34Darlene Kai reporting for GMA Integrated News.

03:39Dear fellow citizens, make sure that your vehicle is locked while traveling.

03:43In R10 or Mel Lopez Boulevard in Manila,

03:46catch the bag thief from a vehicle stuck in traffic.

03:52Breaking news brought to you by Oscar Oida.

03:56In this video captured by GMA Integrated News,

03:59two men were seen carrying a stolen vehicle on the road in Manila.

04:06One was looking from the bench while the other approached and seemed to be circling the vehicle.

04:15They disappeared for a moment, but when the vehicle was stopped in traffic for a long time,

04:20the men approached it, opened the door, and helped to shake the passenger's bag while running.

04:31The Manila Police District immediately investigated the suspects.

04:35We are just waiting for the victim to report to our police or contact our police

04:42so that we can file a complaint against these people.

04:47In a crime like this, according to the police,

04:50the suspects were caught red-handed because of three elements,

04:53Target, Opportunity, and Desire.

04:56In this case, we saw in the video that they have an opportunity.

05:02Because the vehicle's door is open, we always check our safety.

05:07We check if our vehicle is checked and if we notice any individuals

05:12based on their presence and movement, we immediately call their police.

05:17A road safety expert reminds us to be alert, especially in places that are known to be dangerous.

05:26First of all, all the doors of the vehicle should be locked.

05:31Always lock all the doors.

05:33It may be locked or strapped or anything, just so it's not easy to get in.

05:43What if it's in a vehicle or an open type like a jeepney or motorcycle?

05:49I will put a box where I will put my things.

05:55It's not open, it's just a chair.

05:58It's easy to get in.

06:00If you have a box that is locked in a motorcycle,

06:05they can put their valuables there.

06:09It can also help if there is a dashcam in the vehicle.

06:13Oscar Oida, reporting for GMA Integrated News.

06:18Let's go back to TV, the Korean actress Kim Hye Soo

06:26in an action-thriller series, Chikahan with Hye Soo and her co-stars in the latest film, Lynching.

06:39The legendary Korean actress Kim Hye Soo will be starring in Unmasked.

06:44The story revolves around a journalist who needs to solve a 20-year-old cold case.

06:50It suits the actress because she had an interest in becoming a reporter when she was still studying.

06:59Actually, until high school, I had a dream of becoming a social media reporter.

07:05But they said it was a really tough part.

07:09At that time, I was already acting, so I naturally continued to act.

07:13To be honest, I think there is a joy in experiencing the dream I had as an actress indirectly through work.

07:25For her co-star, Jung Seung Il, it is a great blessing to work with Hye Soo.

07:31I think the word blessing itself has a lot of meaning.

07:37Actually, it's not easy to meet an actor that everyone wants to be.

07:41It was an honor to be able to work with her among so many people.

07:47At that moment, I was looking forward to it.

07:49If you look forward to it, you'll be disappointed a little bit.

07:53Now, the title of the show is Unmasked.

07:55If you were both unmasked of your public persona, what do you think people would see?

08:02I'm so sloppy.

08:03I have a lot of gaps.

08:04I make a lot of mistakes.

08:05I make the same mistakes over and over again.

08:07My daily life is a little bit different.

08:11I also have an image that the public looks at me when I'm unmasked.

08:15When I take it off, it's more fun and fun.

08:20I play a lot of pranks.

08:21I'm just a fool.

08:23I'm a little stupid.

08:25I think it's like that.

08:31Faisal, standby.

08:34Lyn Cheng is reporting for GMA Integrated News.

08:43The preparations are underway for the US President-elect Donald Trump's return to the White House.

08:49The preparations are underway at the US Capitol Grounds where the inauguration ceremony will be held on January 20.

08:56Rehearsals for Trump's stand-ins, Vice President-elect J.D. Vance, and other officials and personalities are also underway.

09:06Soldiers and members of the U.S. Marine Band are also getting ready for the presidential inauguration.

09:14A woman was arrested after she was caught with almost a million pesos in a shabu in a by-bus operation in Valenzuela.

09:26The suspect refused to give a statement.

09:29This is the story of James Agustin.

09:33When the witness was caught and the transaction was positive,

09:38the woman was immediately charged with a drug by-bus operation in a vacant lot in Barangay Karuhatan, Valenzuela City.

09:46According to the police, the 46-year-old was previously jailed for drug-related cases.

09:53This is intelligence-driven. Our operatives are monitoring this.

09:57The play bargaining was able, so it's still the same.

10:00After a year, he returned to his job.

10:05The suspect was able to get 140 grams of shabu, which is worth P952,000.

10:12Other transactions are being carried out online.

10:15The area of Conya, the transactions are specifically in Valenzuela.

10:21But according to our operatives in the tactical interrogation and debriefing,

10:28he also has clients in Bulacan and somewhere in Laguna.

10:33The suspect was jailed in Substation 2 of Valenzuela City Police Agent T. DeLeon.

10:38He refused to give a statement.

10:40The suspect was charged with a complaint of possession of a Comprehensive Dangerous Drug.

10:45James Agustin reporting for GMA Integrated News.

11:26It will air next Monday on GMA Prime.

11:30Don't miss it, dear viewers, later at Gateway Mall 2 at 2 p.m.

11:44Before we start the election period, nationwide gun ban, and the implementation of the checkpoint,

11:49let's talk to Comedic Chairman George Erwin Garcia.

11:52Good morning and welcome to Balitang Hali.

11:55Good morning, sir Rafi, and good morning to our fellow countrymen.

11:59The election period officially started. How is the implementation of the guidelines and protocols?

12:05You're right. The establishment of our checkpoints throughout the country has been well-established.

12:12Because of that, 80 individuals have been arrested because they have firearms outside the residence,

12:21even if they have a license or permit to carry,

12:24but they don't have an exemption from the Commission on Election.

12:30At the same time, so far, our law enforcement authorities are well-established in our checkpoints.

12:37We don't receive any complaints from our countrymen.

12:41We ensure that their rights are respected.

12:45What are the election violations that you are monitoring at this time?

12:52Of course, the first thing is the violation of the gun ban.

12:56There should be an exemption for those who carry firearms outside their residence.

13:02That's what we are monitoring closely, especially the possibility of election-related violence.

13:09That's the reason why we have areas of concern, red category, orange category, yellow and green category,

13:19so that we can see the possible violation of our election law that started during the election period.

13:26For the information of everyone in the government,

13:29it is also prohibited to suspend, transfer, and detail to the government unrelated permits from the Commission on Election.

13:38Do you have a coordination with PNP on how to identify the private armed groups?

13:42Do you have anything like this now?

13:45That's what we are monitoring, sir Rafi.

13:48When we met with the ESP and PNP, we said that all private armed groups in the country may be abolished.

13:57We believe that there will be no reliable, proper and clean law as long as the private armed groups are there,

14:04because they are the ones who are cheating.

14:06They are the reason why politicians and other parties are more reluctant to vote.

14:12That's why all of that should be abolished.

14:15How will it affect the printed ballots and election system if a candidate suddenly withdraws?

14:22Because at the moment, we are printing ballots and there are a lot of us who are printing ballots.

14:30If someone withdraws, especially from the national position,

14:33we will not be able to reprint or start printing ballots again.

14:38What will happen, sir Rafi, is that the candidate's name will still be printed on the ballot.

14:43But if he, for example, withdrew, his name will be printed on the ballot and our countrymen will abolish him,

14:50all of his votes will be considered as stray votes and will not be counted.

14:56Okay. When it comes to GANBAL, is it automatic to arrest and confiscate weapons?

15:01Who will be the last one to bring or use the weapons, even if it's an emergency case?

15:05Yes. Even if it's an emergency case, a good faith is not a defense, sir Rafi.

15:11The armed forces should serve or their service should be ongoing.

15:19For example, a member of AFP, a member of PNP or other law enforcement authorities.

15:25When it comes to cancelling, it's cancelling the bringing of weapons outside the president and their presence.

15:34So those who say it's an emergency, maybe it's a matter of defense.

15:38But again, the question is, did you get an exemption from the Comilec?

15:45Okay. Is there an SOP when it comes to checkpoints?

15:49I'm asking about the indications that the checkpoints are legitimate.

15:53Yes sir Rafi. Our countrymen should understand and respect all members of PNP and AFP,

16:02Bureau of Coast Guard and our Bureau of Fire Protection,

16:09that the rights of our countrymen should be prioritized.

16:15It means that inspectors at the checkpoints are limited to plain view.

16:21They can't just open the checkpoints. They can't just let people and motorists out of their vehicles.

16:28Or they can just be arrested. It's strictly prohibited.

16:32Okay. It's clear. Thank you very much for your time on Balitang Hali.

16:36Thank you very much sir Rafi. Long live.

16:38Comilec Chairman George Erwin Garcia.
