00:00A motorcycle hit a woman crossing the road in Tabaco, Albay.
00:19CCTV footage was captured in San Lorenzo, Marangay, where a woman was crossing the road.
00:24She did not notice the motorcycle approaching.
00:27The motorcycle hit a woman.
00:29The woman fell and the rider also fell.
00:32Both of them were injured.
00:34There are no details as to whether they are recovering or not.
00:39Dead on the spot.
00:40The driver of a motorcycle after hitting a police car in Antipolo, Rizal.
00:45The incident happened in front of the media.
00:48EJ Gomez has the first news.
00:52Both 25-year-old couple were injured and dead after an accident in Antipolo City at 2 p.m. yesterday.
01:04According to the police, a police mobile patrolling Buso-Buso lost control and went straight to the motorcycle lane going to Cogio.
01:14Before the accident, it was raining heavily and the road was wet.
01:20At the time of the accident, our mobile patrol lost control while patrolling and went to the direction of the motorcycle and the jeep.
01:34The motorcycle collided with our mobile.
01:41Because of the impact, the motorcycle fell.
01:44The rider and the woman were also injured.
01:47We were able to reach two patients who were lying on the road.
01:52They were both injured.
01:55They had a head injury.
01:57The man had a possible fracture in his left leg.
02:02The woman had a possible fracture in her right arm.
02:05It's sad to think that the rider celebrated his birthday before the accident happened.
02:15The driver of the passenger jeep was saved.
02:18The police driver of the mobile collided with a minor injury.
02:23We immediately called our police officer and explained to him his rights.
02:36We immediately disarmed him.
02:41The arrested police officer refused to face the media.
02:44The GMA Integrated News is trying to get the names of the victims.
02:49The investigation of the accident continues.
02:52The police face reckless imprudence resulting in multiple homicide and damage to property.
02:59This is the first news. EJ Gomez for GMA Integrated News.
03:05A cellphone was found inside a salon in Bago, Negros Occidental while it was live-streamed.
03:12A staff member of the salon was live-streaming on social media while cleaning.
03:17Later, a man peeked inside the salon and took the cellphone.
03:24He didn't face the media that the owner of the cellphone was there,
03:27but he told his boss that he was going out of the back of the salon at that time.
03:31He was surprised to see that his cellphone was gone.
03:36The police found the suspect who has a lot of records with the police in Bacolod City.
03:42The police are looking for him.
03:48Clothes were found outside a house in Lipabatangas.
03:53In the CCTV footage, the man was seen taking clothes.
03:57He immediately left.
03:59According to the uploader, his grandmother and cousin bought stolen clothes.
04:05The crime was solved when they reviewed the CCTV.
04:08The man who stole the clothes is still being investigated.
04:17The Bureau of Immigration has tightened the investigation on the Filipinos who went through immigration in Naia.
04:22Recently, two women went to Thailand because of their weight.
04:27Here's the first news, Jonathan Andal.
04:32A co-worker from a call center company introduced himself and took a vacation leave to visit Thailand.
04:39But when he asked, the answer of the two women who went to the immigration officer in Naia didn't match.
04:46When they asked about the basic details about each other and about their trip, their answers didn't match.
04:54The truth is that their vacation in Thailand is not a vacation, but a connecting flight to Laos.
05:01They were only accompanied by a recruiter and were given a pecking document.
05:06They were promised a salary of P50,000 per month as a customer service representative.
05:12The fixer they met online was paid P3,000 to make the documents.
05:18The two women turned over to the Interagency Council Against Trafficking.
05:22Immigration said that it's possible for the two women to go to Laos as scammers, just like what happened to the other Filipinos who were rescued there.
05:30They target call center agents or those who have experience in call centers because that's their job there.
05:40Seemingly like a BPO, but it's actually a scam hub, scam operations.
05:45If they don't achieve the quota, they are physically tortured, they are not fed, and they are not paid properly.
05:54This August, more than 70 Filipinos were arrested along with almost 800 in the Umanoy Cyber Scam Network on the border of Laos, Thailand and Myanmar.
06:05This is different from the case of other Filipinos who were rescued from illegal recruitment in 2024.
06:10Just like the two Filipinos who were arrested last March.
06:13For example, the employees of Telco who are going on vacation in Thailand, but the truth is that when they arrive in Bangkok, they will be taken to Laos.
06:20There, they were also promised a job as a call center agent in a company that is involved in the crypto investment scam.
06:27The salary is more than P50,000 if it's regular.
06:31The salary of a Filipino who was recruited to be a customer service representative but was made an online love scammer in Laos is almost the same.
06:40But in the end, he did not receive a salary. He was repatriated in May 2024.
06:45Immigration reminds those who want to work abroad to go through the process with the Department of Migrant Workers and don't just believe the scams on social media.
06:54It looks like there's a big syndicate involved in this.
06:57Here's the first news. Jonathan Andal for GMA Integrated News.
07:02It's been 83 days since the election of 2025.
07:06Almost 1,000 individuals have been arrested by the police for violating the election gun ban.
07:11According to the data, the Philippine National Police has 971 violators since January 12 to February 16, 2025.
07:20The majority in Metro Manila has 290 violators.
07:24Central Luzon has 149 violators and 128 in Central Visayas.
07:32Aside from the arrested, there are five PNP personnel, eight armed forces of the Philippines and five law enforcement agencies.
07:41Among them are four government officials, one CAFGU active auxiliary, 22 security guards, one child in conflict with the law and more than 700 civilians.
07:52They are armed with 962 firearms.
07:58Based on Comilec Resolution No. 11067, the election gun ban will be in effect in the Philippines until June 11.
08:06Aside from the police, the Philippine Army is also ready to deploy their personnel for the election of 2025.
08:13They will do this to ensure the safety and orderliness of the election.
08:17They urged the public to report if they have information or if they will see armed groups.
08:23The Philippine National Police also said that they will be more strict on election checkpoints.
08:29They also continued to teach in more than 400 areas of concern to avoid election-related violence.
08:37The Department of Education is investigating on 12 private schools.
08:43They are the students listed in the Senior High School Voucher Program but they are not allowed to attend.
08:49Here's the first news, Rafay Tima.
08:52Go Students.
08:54This is an important story in some schools.
08:56But the Department of Education is investigating on this.
08:59They are the ones who are not allowed to attend the Senior High School students in 12 private schools
09:04that are included in the Senior High School Voucher Program of DepEd.
09:07The program is a financial assistance for the government to educate the Senior High School
09:12in a school that is not included in DepEd like private schools.
09:16The incoming grade 11 students are given a voucher worth Php 14,000 to Php 22,500.
09:23Those who finished grade 10 in public schools will automatically receive it.
09:28Graduates in private schools need to apply and the Education Service Contracting Program of DepEd is not granted.
09:34DepEd did not remind private schools.
09:37Education Secretary Sani Angara said in a statement that DepEd is taking the allegation seriously.
09:43The wrong use of funds for education will not be considered.
09:47DepEd has violations against the ways to prove that there are Go Students,
09:51such as the removal of their accreditation.
09:54DepEd is also studying the Administrative and Criminal Sanctions
09:58that they can impose on any school personnel or officials.
10:02DepEd is calling on the public to report to them if there is any irregularity in the implementation of their programs.
10:09If DepEd is approved, it will help the real students who need assistance.
10:15This is the first news. Rafi Tima for GMA Integrated News.
10:24Former President Rodrigo Duterte filed unlawful utterances and inciting to sedition.
10:33The PNP Criminal Investigation and Detection Group filed a complaint against him
10:37and the former President filed a statement that he will kill 15 senators so that his senatorial slave can enter the Senate.
10:47PNP CIDG Chief Police Major General Nicolás Torre III said that such statements are not allowed.
10:55He was called an ignorant by Atty. Salvador Panelo, the former spokesperson of Duterte.
11:03Is there nothing that their agency can do more productively than these things?
11:09The problems that our country has been going through in the past six years,
11:12until now, we have been dealing with those problems.
11:15They are just killing people and if they will be taken on their word,
11:20they will suddenly say that it's a joke only.
11:24The latest news is that he's only expressing a legal opinion.
11:29They say that President Duterte is making a joke.
11:35They used to know that he's making a joke.
11:39What's wrong with our country?
11:42You can't make a joke?
11:44You can't make a joke without filing a case?
11:49Meanwhile, the former President Duterte's statements were not investigated by the National Bureau of Investigation.
11:54According to NBI Director Jaime Santiago, there's no mention that Duterte is a senator and he's just making a joke.
12:01Several law enforcement officials who worked in the NBI investigated this,
12:04just like their investigation of the statements of Vice President Sara Duterte against the President,
12:10First Lady and House Speaker.
12:12But according to the NBI, this is different because the Vice President said that it's no joke that he's making a joke.
12:19The former President Duterte has yet to respond to the statements of law enforcement officials,
12:23even to the complaint filed against him.
12:27Let's catch up with Elsa Baswe.
12:29Almost 20 motorists were arrested and arrested after crossing the northbound lane of Kamuning flyover.
12:37Live from Quezon City, we have on the news, James Agustin. James.
12:43Gang, good morning.
12:46In the first 30 minutes of the operation, 18 motorists were arrested after crossing the Elsa Baswe.
12:54The Special Action Intelligence Committee for Transportation or SAIC was placed in the northbound lane of Kamuning flyover
13:00before 6 a.m.
13:02The next motorists were arrested after crossing the Elsa Baswe,
13:06including one pickup, car and taxi.
13:09There were also two closed vans and one provincial bus.
13:12Eighteen motorists were arrested.
13:15The most motorists were the 11 motorists.
13:18The last motorists were explained one by one.
13:24I thought there was a river, a dam.
13:26There were a lot of people trying to escape.
13:28I was able to follow them.
13:30But I was not able to cross the bus lane.
13:33I was just checking, sir, because I thought there was a dam.
13:36I didn't know that someone was being arrested.
13:40I know it's prohibited, but I thought there was really a dam.
13:44I'm sorry. It's getting faster.
13:47If it's like that, it's free, that's why it's like that.
13:55Meanwhile, the operation of SAIC continues at the top of Kamuning flyover northbound.
14:01Aside from this area, they have a separate operation at Ortigas.
14:06That's the first news from Quezon City.
14:08I'm James Agustin for Joyme Integrated News.
14:13In the middle of the campaign for the election of 2025,
14:16the Commission on Elections asked Komelec if negative campaigning is allowed.
14:20Komelec answered that negative campaigning is not prohibited by the law
14:25or negative speech about other candidates.
14:28But he reminded the candidates to be careful because if there are too many cases of libel and cyber libel,
14:35they might be slapped.
14:39It's because it's in the law that it's allowed.
14:42But if it's bordering on something which is already criminal,
14:45there can be two things.
14:47Either disqualification of the candidate and at the same time,
14:50criminal case against the candidate involved.
14:54But if we lower the negative campaigning per se, we cannot do that.
15:02Aside from Dengue, the Department of Health also intensified the campaign against rabies.
15:06According to Davao Region, there were many cases of rabies.
15:10Live from Davao City, we have the latest news with RGL Relator and JMA Regional TV.
15:16RGL.
15:18Many problems here in Davao Region are the cases of under-reported or under-diagnosed rabies cases.
15:25That's why when it comes to the hospital of those bitten by a cat or dog,
15:29they usually die immediately.
15:34The Department of Health of Region 11 intensified their coordination with local government units
15:41to intensify the campaign against rabies.
15:45The agency is now alarmed at the increase in the number of deaths due to rabies.
15:51In 2024, there were 36 deaths.
15:55This is higher than the number of deaths due to rabies in 2023, which was 24.
16:04There were more than 120,000 animal bite cases in 2024.
16:10According to the DOH, there is a 1 million pesos fund for the vaccine against rabies this year.
16:17The central office will add 1,800 vials.
16:21But this is not enough because the number of animal bite cases is also increasing.
16:27The Secretary ordered our regions and LGUs to coordinate
16:34because the region and national government will also help to reduce the need for rabies vaccines.
16:41There is an instruction that if our budget can afford it, let's do it. Let's augment it.
16:47The DOH did not allow the pet owners to be responsible.
16:51We can see that most of the dogs or cats are tamed or are at their homes.
16:58I hope we can help our pet owners to have responsible pet ownership.
17:04The Animal Welfare Group also urged the pet owners to take care of their pets
17:09and not wait for a free vaccine against rabies.
17:16You have to prioritize it. It's anti-rabies vaccine.
17:20Do not wait for rabies to come to your household.
17:23That's the most important thing, the safety and security of your pets and your household.
17:34The DOH added that we should not be complacent because most of the rabies victims are domestic or pets.
17:41Aside from LGUs, the DOH 11 is ready to coordinate with the DA to strengthen animal vaccination.
17:50Thank you very much Argyl Relator of GMA Regional TV.
