00:00Let's all become a Taxi!
00:15The ride-hailing app, Angkas, has asked for a refund
00:18after the convoy of their riders went viral in Caintarizat.
00:22The drivers at the intersection, even though the traffic light is on,
00:26were forced to stop.
00:34Suddenly, the riders of the ride-hailing app, Angkas,
00:38stopped at an intersection in Caintarizat.
00:42That's why the drivers were forced to stop, even though the traffic light is on.
00:50The motorists followed, but the convoy did not stop.
00:57Their riders went down to help their fellow riders.
01:03Even the track that passes through the middle of the convoy was blocked.
01:09It just passed after the convoy.
01:12The incident was reported by Baticos.
01:15In a video message, the CEO of Angkas asked for a refund for the ride-hailing app.
01:21This should not have happened.
01:23He admitted that it is a lack of discipline, safety, and violation of the traffic law
01:28that Angkas is pursuing.
01:30I am aware of the incident, and there are no excuses for our actions.
01:34I take full responsibility, and we will do better.
01:48They will help the authorities in the event of an incident.
01:52GMA Integrated News is trying to get the permission of the Land Transportation Office.
01:58For GMA Integrated News, I am Jun Veneracion, your witness.
02:04Not less than 30 families were burned in Barangay Culiat, Quezon City.
02:09The fire reached three alarms that went off at 1 a.m. yesterday,
02:13and was extinguished at 2 p.m. yesterday.
02:16The evacuees were taken to the evacuation center, and the fire was investigated.
02:23Almost 170 people were arrested in a scam hub in Makati City.
02:28They are using artificial intelligence or AI to victimize people.
02:34John Consulta is a witness.
02:37Halt! Halt!
02:40Step back. Step back.
02:42He's not using his cell phone.
02:44He's not holding a computer.
02:47The NBI-NCR has not yet visited an ordinary office in Makati City.
02:52In the case of Motrinad, the scripts used in the scam were tampered with.
02:56There are cell phones that exchange messages through a program.
03:01They use sim cards that are not registered.
03:05We are looking at the violation of the Anti-Financial Account Scamming Act,
03:11and then, of course, the Cybercrime Act.
03:15One of the NBI's targets is a scam hub that uses artificial intelligence or AI.
03:23This computer and camera only scans the faces of the recruited scammers.
03:29The result is that they are using AI to generate the face of a woman
03:34who is currently being used by syndicates to make video calls to foreigners
03:41so that they can be victimized.
03:44Earlier, I was able to see my new face through AI.
03:52It's real-time.
03:55It's real-time.
03:57They will really jump into believing that they are real.
04:01167 Filipinos and 2 Chinese were involved in the Love Scam activities
04:06that were caught by the operatives.
04:08Most of their victims are foreigners based in Europe and the Middle East.
04:13According to our conversations, their group has been operating for three years
04:18and their quota is three foreigners per day.
04:21We will get the trust and the relationship of the customer.
04:24Once we build the trust and the relationship,
04:27that's when the so-called investment scams will happen.
04:31To be honest, there are a lot of people here.
04:34They can't give us a normal job.
04:36When it comes to the consensus, there's nothing.
04:39We're only thinking about money.
04:41The NBI reminded the syndicates not to use the scam hub.
04:46Don't be fooled by the promise of a lot of money.
04:49They will be more at risk.
04:53The Love Scam is included in the reports of the CICC,
04:56or Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center.
04:59According to the CICC, they received more than 10,000 cybercrime complaints in 2024.
05:06This is three times more than the complaints they received in 2023.
05:11Almost Php 200 million were lost to the victims.
05:16For GMA Integrated News, I'm John Consulta.
05:22Php 13,000,000 worth of oil was stolen from a tanker
05:26that was used for oil smuggling.
05:2926 people were arrested.
05:32This is June Veneracion.
05:39In an argument between Customs, Coast Guard, and PNP-CIDG
05:43in Subuc, Enforces, and Juan Batangas,
05:46I was arrested for oil smuggling.
06:01The diesel was transferred from the Motor Tanker Filiza
06:05to the Tanker Trucks.
06:0726 individuals were arrested in the operation,
06:10including truck drivers, passengers, and crew.
06:15Two Chinese nationals were also arrested.
06:18According to Customs, smuggling was taking place in the middle of the sea.
06:23The crude oil was transferred from a foreign vessel to the Motor Tanker Filiza.
06:28The two Chinese nationals are said to be the communicators
06:35and negotiators of the Mother Vessel's crew
06:37that they earn in the high seas.
06:40The crew of the Mother Vessel is also Chinese.
06:45More than 200,000 liters of crude oil worth Php 13,000,000 were smuggled.
06:52The smuggled tanker and trucks were not able to pass
06:56the initial fuel sampling and testing
06:58that was needed to prove that the smugglers were paid for the oil products.
07:03Arrested individuals, as well as owners of ships and trucks,
07:07were charged with violating the Customs Modernization and Tariff Act.
07:11We have a lot of follow-up operations.
07:14The entire Philippines is alert when it comes to smuggled items.
07:20For GMA Integrated News, I'm your host, Jun Veneracion.
07:25A 15-year-old man was arrested for smuggling illegal drugs in Cebu City.
07:32According to authorities,
07:34he was a suspect in the shooting of a 44-year-old woman on February 2.
07:39The minor was hiding in the town of Dalaget until he was rescued.
07:45He was given a .45-caliber gun.
07:48The two men who were shot were found involved in the shooting.
07:53The motive for the shooting is still being investigated,
07:56but illegal drugs are one of the things being investigated.
08:00The Women and Children's Protection Desk is investigating
08:03if the shooter has any discernment,
08:06or if he knows the crime he committed.
08:11The two Liberian nationals were charged with more than a million pesos
08:15for pretending to be able to make dollars.
08:18They were arrested for witnessing the shooting of Jun Veneracion.
08:24Don't move! Don't move!
08:28Because of the complaint of smuggling illegal drugs,
08:30the two Liberian nationals in Quezon City were arrested in the operation of PLTC-IDG.
08:40The suspects obtained a total of 1.8 million pesos
08:43after the victim confessed that they were able to make U.S. dollar bills.
08:50In front of the victims, the suspects showed the victim
08:53the smuggling of chemical powder in a bag of green paper to make U.S. dollar bills.
08:58One of them showed how to make U.S. dollar bills.
09:02The other one, they will keep him or her busy.
09:07If he makes a mistake, he will exchange the paper for the original U.S. dollar.
09:14That's how fast their hands are.
09:17The so-called magic dollar was brought by the victim to the money changer to be exchanged.
09:22That's why he was more convinced that the U.S. dollar is real.
09:25When the victim saw the suspects again,
09:28he started to ask for money to buy chemical powder and green paper to make U.S. dollar bills.
09:36You will be given a real U.S. dollar to entice you that this is a lucrative scheme.
09:43The suspects were slapped by the complaint of Estafa.
09:46Banknotes were illegally used and smuggled.
09:49We are still trying to get their money.
09:52For GMA Integrated News, I am Jun Veneracion, your witness.
09:59The siblings were arrested in Cebu City for illegally selling animals.
10:03Witness, Nico Sereno of GMA Regional TV.
10:08The NBI stopped the operation after receiving a complaint of illegal wildlife trade animals in Tejero, Cebu City.
10:16Two were arrested.
10:18While being rescued, the animals were sold, including a Philippine hawk eagle and Palawan hill mynah,
10:25which according to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, are endangered.
10:30There were also Burmese pythons, birds, iguanas, and sailfin lizards.
10:35The seven rescued animals were worth P142,000.
10:40Among initial investigation with them is,
10:43most of them are hunting,
10:45and none of the items were sold.
10:48The suspects are male siblings who sell lovebirds and fish.
10:55They have a location in Magallanes Street, Cebu City.
11:06One of the recovered lizards in the operation was found with markings on its body.
11:10This is a sign that the animals were used in the picture-taking.
11:25As much as possible, we will use this as a public display of wildlife.
11:34Two were arrested under the Wildlife Conservation Act.
11:43For GMA Integrated News, I am Nico Sereno of GMA Regional TV, Balitang Bisdak.
11:49Your witness.
11:52Only three were found among the 41 vloggers
11:56who were invited by the Tri-Committee of the Camera to their hearing
11:59regarding the dissemination of pecking information online.
12:02While some vloggers did not attend the hearing,
12:05they petitioned the Supreme Court to stop the hearing
12:08and to call them to the hearing.
12:10Witness, Tina Panginiban Perez.
12:16This is the first hearing of the Tri-Committee of the Camera
12:19whose aim is to address the long-standing problem of the dissemination of pecking information online.
12:25One of the topics discussed during the hearing
12:28is the destruction of several social media accounts
12:31based in the Philippines but still connected to China.
12:35This is the latest.
12:36We were told that a pro-China network of ex-accounts
12:40is spreading anti-Philippine sentiment
12:42while pushing content related to Vice President Sara Duterte.
12:47We are listening to the statement of Vice President Sara Duterte about this.
12:51The question of Tri-Comm Co-Chairperson Representative Dan Fernandez.
12:56The destruction of our ownership of the West Philippine Sea
13:01is affected by the spread of lies on social media.
13:06The Philippine trolls are spreading false information about this.
13:14Can we consider them as traitors of the country?
13:16But of the 41 vloggers who were invited to the hearing,
13:20only 3 were able to attend.
13:22Some vloggers said that they are from other countries.
13:25I am referring to A.K.A. Joe DeVivere.
13:28He insulted me here.
13:33He said,
13:35You are a fool.
13:38You are wasting electricity.
13:43Respectfully, Elizabeth Joey Cruz.
13:45It's hard for you because you are wasting electricity
13:48when we don't have any enemies.
13:50Come here.
13:53He will give a show-cause order.
13:55Even the other vloggers who did not attend.
13:58Including the lawyer and ex-press secretary Trixie Angeles
14:02who wants Tri-Comm to be disbarred.
14:05This hearing is not to suppress their freedom of speech.
14:12Our aim here is for the police to use social media platforms.
14:20We should have discipline.
14:23We should have a code of conduct.
14:25We should have ethics in using social media.
14:30The DICT admitted that they have a problem
14:33in chasing those who spread lies online.
14:36We are not saying that we will control social media.
14:40It's not just to allow the law enforcement agencies
14:43to have more immediate power to react.
14:46We have a challenge in obtaining information and evidence.
14:49Sometimes, they post fake identities on Facebook.
14:52Political trolls are not that brainwashed,
14:55uneducated, poor voters in rural areas.
14:58Some of them are from middle-class families
15:01and they see political trolling as just a side gig,
15:04a hustle to make ends meet.
15:07There are different kinds of workers
15:09and we need to hold accountable the people at the top,
15:12the elites in advertising and PR industries.
15:15There are journalists who blog,
15:18but blogging does not make you a journalist.
15:21As a journalist, we adhere to the core values of journalism
15:28which are truthfulness, fairness.
15:31Here in social media blogging,
15:34do you believe that we need to put a code of conduct
15:39or at least there should be ethical standards?
15:43The Supreme Court of the Philippines
15:45requested that some DICT members
15:46to go to the House hearing against fake news
15:48so that they can stop their freedom of speech.
15:52They were forced to go to the hearing.
15:55They insisted that the hearing should not be in aid of legislation,
15:59but instead of embarrassing them
16:01and violating their freedom of speech.
16:04They were also forced to stop
16:06the so-called social media regulation
16:09which violates the Constitution.
16:11They insisted that they should not be included in the media
16:15because they do not broadcast news,
16:18but opinions.
16:19The lawyer who is being disbarred by the committee
16:22is ready to answer.
16:24We are stopping them from continuing the hearing
16:30to stop their intimidation
16:34of those of us who speak on social media.
16:38And let's end this.
16:40The proposed legislation,
16:42they say,
16:44is a regulatory framework for social media.
16:49For GMA Integrated News,
16:51I am Tina Panganiban Perez,
16:53your witness.
16:55A giant warship of China
16:57and two more Chinese vessels
16:59passed through Sulu Sea near Basilan.
17:02In the Philippine Navy,
17:03three Chinese ships sailed from Mindoro to Basilan
17:06and suddenly slowed down
17:08when 15 nautical miles from the island arrived.
17:11The ships of the Philippines
17:12met and waited for them.
17:14The Chinese Coast Guard Vessels 3301 and 3104
17:22were able to leave the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines.
17:26The Philippines and the United States conducted air exercises
17:30in the West Philippine Sea and in Bajo de Macinloc.
17:33In the Philippine Air Force,
17:34there was no sighting and no radio challenge
17:37from the Chinese aircraft
17:38while the exercises were being conducted.
17:41According to the China Southern Theater Command Air Force,
17:44the Philippine Joint Patrol
17:46with an external country
17:48aims to destroy the peace and stability of the South China Sea.

18:51We are the target now.
18:52We were beaten.
18:53So, it's a pressure for us
18:55but pressure is a privilege.
18:58The next three games will be played by the Perpetual Altas men's team.
19:02The former MVP, Jeff Marapok, will be the first to try.
19:06We will give everything we can.

19:11We will go through the ensayo.
19:14The juniors team of Emilio Aguinaldo College
19:17will try to defend their Season 99 title.
19:21Just enjoy the game.
19:24Always have good vibes.
19:26At the opening ceremony earlier,
19:28while introducing the players,
19:30the Clash Season 6 Grand Champion, Miss Naya Ami, performed.
19:34One of the cast of the upcoming series in GMA Afternoon Prime
19:38that is being watched closely is Kevin Dasom.
19:46Indayog Dance Troupe also had a special performance from Letran Bataan.
19:51We made sure that the quality of the competition is much better
19:56compared to the previous years.
19:59For the GMA Integrated News, I am Niku Ahe, your Saksi.
20:04You can buy rice from the NFA the next day for P35 per kilo
20:21following the declaration of the Food Security Emergency by the Department of Agriculture.
20:25Saksi, by Bernarda Treas.
20:30P58 per kilo is the maximum suggested retail price for rice now.
20:36But the world price is going down in the world market,
20:39so it will also go down.
20:41Starting tomorrow, P55 per kilo will go down
20:44the maximum suggested retail price for 5% locally imported rice here in Metro Manila.
20:50When February 15 arrives, its implementation will be nationwide.
20:56In the next few days or weeks,
20:58it will be possible to buy rice from the NFA or National Food Authority.
21:05The NFA should only import buffer stock
21:09that can be exported if there is a storm or other emergency.
21:12But because the Food Security Emergency was declared on rice,
21:16it can be exported and sold for P33 per kilo to local governments,
21:21some companies controlled by the government, and other government agencies.
21:26When exported to buyers, it will be P35 per kilo.
21:31It's a big help for us.
21:32It's only P35 per kilo of rice.
21:35It's a big help for the buyers,
21:38but the NFA says it's losing money.
21:40Initially, the recommendation was P38,
21:44but now, because it's a necessity to release the stocks and create space,
21:50it's better to lower it to P33 to LGUs and then P35 to the public.
21:58We really need to do this to control and lower the price
22:03so that we can vacate our warehouses so that the NFA can buy the harvest from the farmers.
22:09But according to a group of farmers,
22:11to be sold for P35 per kilo, the sale of rice will be lowered.
22:17The equivalent rice price will be about P17 to P18 per kilo.
22:22At that price, half of the farmers will lose money.
22:26It distracts people from the real solution,
22:30which is to go after the property.
22:33Why don't they do that?
22:35The Food Security Emergency can be resolved if the price of rice is lowered.
22:40If the price of rice is lowered,
22:43Some products are expected to go up in price starting this February,
22:47including several brands of sardines, canned meat, evaporated milk, Pinoy Tasty and Pinoy Pandesal,
22:53as well as candles and batteries.
22:55The Department of Trade and Industry has allowed some manufacturers to raise prices,
23:01but the DTI says it won't exceed 10%.
23:04This week, the Suggested Retail Price Guide will be released to serve as a guide to buyers.
23:10Consumers will see an increase in the next few weeks.
23:13In actual life,
23:14According to the Department of Trade and Industry,
23:16the main reason for manufacturers to raise their prices is the rising costs of raw materials.
23:22There are more than 60 products that will go up in price,
23:25but there are more that won't go up.
23:28That's why buyers don't know how to budget,
23:32they will just adjust again.
23:34Maybe for snacks,
23:36we will reduce it so that we can provide the other things that we need to buy.
23:42Before, we used to buy large sardines.
23:45Now, maybe just one sardine.
23:47Then I will just boil it,
23:49I will just saute it,
23:51I will add eggs.
23:52For GMA Integrated News,
23:55I am Bernadette Reyes, your witness.
23:59In accordance with the Bicameral Conference Committee,
24:02the parliamentary election of BARMM,
24:05or Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, will be held on October 13.
24:08To Senate President Jesus Codero,
24:10they arranged this so that the election will be safe and clean.
24:15In accordance with that,
24:17the term of the current member of the Bangsamoro Transition Authority
24:22will be extended until the next leaders of the region are elected.
24:26Deputy Minority Leader Mugjib Hatawan did not agree with the Bicam report,
24:31which was approved by BASILAN, which is a part of BARMM.
24:34He said that if they want peace,
24:37the members of Bangsamoro should allow their leaders to elect in May.
24:43In order for a law to be passed,
24:45the Bicam report and signature of President Marcos
24:47must first be strengthened by the plenary of the Senate and the House of Representatives.
24:52A man was injured in the back
24:54after being hit by a car on the 5th of Sugal and Tawi-Tawi.
25:00According to the victim's family,
25:02the victim was just outside the house
25:04when the car suddenly hit the road.
25:07After that, the man and the car fell into the water at the same time.
25:11The man was taken to the hospital,
25:13where his condition is getting better.
25:15The car still hit the road.
25:19Beautiful landscapes of flowers are blooming in Baguio City.
25:23This is known as Panagbangascapes,
25:26which is a part of the celebration of the colorful Panagbanga Festival.
25:30It is home to talented garden landscapers
25:34who are dedicated to the carpet of flowers.
25:40There are 12 entries this year,
25:43and this reflects the dedication of the gardeners when it comes to landscaping.
25:57All eyes on Jisoo,
25:58who will return to the Philippines soon for his fanmeet tour.
26:03Mark Heras will explain
26:05about the viral video of him dancing in a club.
26:08Let's watch.
26:13Mark Heras directly answered the issue
26:16about his dancing in a club.
26:19It's a work, it's a racket.
26:21I was invited to perform, right?
26:23How I dance.
26:24There's nothing wrong with what he's doing,
26:26because it's legal,
26:28and he doesn't step on other people.
26:30He said it's okay for his wife Nicole Donesa to perform in a bar.
26:35That's part of the showbiz,
26:37that you don't live long in the limelight.
26:39Honestly, I don't put it in my head that I'm lost.
26:43I'm thankful for where I came from.
26:46Mark's priority is to provide for his family,
26:50especially now that their baby number 2 is coming,
26:53and he's building a house.
26:55This is what I want.
26:56I'm not even dreaming of having a career
26:59that's very popular.
27:03I want to be able to provide for my family,
27:05especially my children.
27:06Especially now that they'll be 2.
27:08Mark is also not affected by those who bash him online.
27:12I'm a provider, I'm a father.
27:14I don't think about what they're thinking,
