Transcript

00:00This is Philippine Government.

00:04This is a pilot that was ejected first.

00:07Live from the GMA Network Center, this is 24 Horas.

00:15Good evening, Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.

00:20An SUV on the skyway hit the center island and hit the railing.

00:27The vehicle was hit while the driver was trapped.

00:31He was killed while the investigation was still ongoing.

00:35Jun Veneracion was also hit.

00:41An SUV was hit while the driver was trapped in the northbound part of the skyway before midnight.

00:51Heavy equipment was needed to remove it from the road.

00:57The driver was trapped inside. He lost his life.

01:02We can see the picture or the position of the person.

01:06He was lying on the passenger seat at the back.

01:10Beyond recognition, this person, even his gender, we cannot talk about it.

01:15This is the path of the accident vehicle on the skyway after it was hit by a fire.

01:20Based on the investigation of the PNT Highway Patrol Group,

01:22the driver ran fast before it hit the center island of the skyway.

01:28After it hit the center island, the vehicle hit the railing.

01:34No other vehicle was hit.

01:36The HPG is looking at two angles, human error and mechanical factor.

01:42The HPG asked for a copy of the CCTV video from the management of the skyway.

01:47We are also trying to broadcast it to them.

01:50Based on the information we got from the security of the skyway and from a witness bystander,

01:56this driver ran fast.

01:59Please continue our investigation so that we can know how fast this vehicle ran.

02:06For GMA Integrated News, June Vanara Show, 24 hours.

02:11The plan is to reduce the number of passengers on the EDSA busway to 45 seconds.

02:20It was also studied to extend the time of operation of LRT and MRT.

02:27This is what Joseph Muro is talking about.

02:32Yesterday, Transportation Secretary Vince Tiso tested the daily experiences of commuters who travel

02:40on the EDSA bus carousel from Ortigas to Monumento at 5 p.m.

02:45Dizon knows how difficult it is to commute in the Philippines.

02:49It's really a very painful experience.

02:52His trip yesterday on the carousel.

02:54I wouldn't say it was horrible, especially if you're already on the bus.

02:58Because of Dizon's ride on the carousel, they saw several issues.

03:02Like the confusion of the passengers on the MRT and carousel in some stations.

03:06Also, the long waiting of the buses.

03:10There are officers who are always there.

03:13They also accompany the buses.

03:15Some want this to be strict.

03:18The Department of Transportation should only stop the buses on the EDSA bus carousel for 45 seconds

03:25so that the passengers can get off.

03:28And so that the passengers on the EDSA bus carousel and MRT won't get confused,

03:32a dedicated concourse will be built to separate the passengers on the EDSA bus carousel and the MRT.

03:41Have you tried going up the overpass just for the carousel?

03:45Especially in Ortigas.

03:47You can just imagine, when it's rush hour in the morning, rush hour in the afternoon,

03:50the MRT passengers and busway passengers enter at the same time on the same road.

03:58So that is a problem.

03:59Signage and barriers will be placed to make it easier for the passengers on the EDSA bus carousel and MRT.

04:06Dizon warns the passengers on the EDSA busway, like the VIPs,

04:11It's illegal, so don't do it.

04:14The DOTR will check if the time of operation of the LRT and MRT can be extended.

04:20Because the rush hour, sometimes it's late, it's between hours.

04:27The majority of the BPO are in Metro Manila and most of them are at night.

04:33So we can't reach them.

04:36The DOTR will talk to the toll operators,

04:40who repeated that they need a cashless system for the tollways so that the two systems can be interoperable.

04:46But Dizon wants to make sure that what happened in Valenzuela won't happen again,

04:51where there was traffic because the readers were busy.

04:53Sir, for the GMA Integrated News, Joseph Morong, 24 Hours.

04:59Today is the 39th anniversary of the EDSA People Power Revolution.

05:06And even though it was declared as a special working holiday by the government,

05:11some schools and universities suspended their classes,

05:15or they only held online classes as a reminder of history.

05:21Maki Pulido was right.

05:27It's been almost four decades since the eyes of the world turned to the Philippines,

05:32where, through peaceful elections,

05:35a dictator who has been in office for more than 20 years was removed from office.

05:39This historic day is celebrated every year here at the EDSA People Power Monument in Quezon City.

05:51This year, EDSA has an activity.

05:54Many workers and students travel here because it's not a holiday.

05:59But the De La Salle University, which was illuminated by a yellow light,

06:03has no entrance.

06:04It's the same with other schools.

06:06Less than 50 Catholic schools held online classes as a reminder of the 1986 EDSA People Power Revolution.

06:13Some of the people I talked to at the public school said

06:16that they hope to be reminded of the importance of the Peaceful Revolution

06:19which was initiated by President Ferdinand Marcos Sr.

06:23Do you think it's important?

06:25Yes, because it's what gives us freedom.

06:29Do you think it's important for the youth to learn about the EDSA Revolution?

06:34Yes, because it's for the students to know about it.

06:39They should know about it, not only in schools, but also in governments.

06:43In the past, there were programs here that were conducted by high-ranking government officials.

06:48This is no longer the case.

06:50From a special non-working holiday,

06:52now it's just a special working holiday.

06:55Today is February 25.

06:57For some experts, how important is this

07:00for the small importance of the 1986 People Power Revolution?

07:04According to a law professor who conducted a study on historical revisionism,

07:10not to worry, it's a simple way to distort history.

07:14It will be more open to wider reinterpretation,

07:19even distortion of what has been already settled.

07:22Maybe now they are more open to thinking that martial law is not that bad,

07:28or that human rights violations are not that serious.

07:34However, there is no need to debate.

07:36More than 11,000 human rights victims were compensated by the Human Rights Victims Claims Board

07:43because they documented the violations of martial law.

07:46According to a history professor,

07:48it's dangerous to remember or not remember what happened in the past.

07:52Historical distortion can also mean impunity,

07:56the lack of accountability of those who are in the past or present positions

08:04that they can do the violation of the rights of the people just like that.

08:11As for Malacanang, February 25 is declared a special working day

08:16and I think it is the prerogative of the President.

08:20And when we say special working day,

08:21still there is encouragement to people to commemorate,

08:28to join any event,

08:31and it will not hinder any activity to commemorate the EDSA People Power.

08:38When the palace is demolished, there is no way to change history.

08:42Has the President stopped any activity related to the commemoration of EDSA People?

08:52Since the time he became President,

08:55we have not heard any stop of any events,

09:00any activities that can commemorate the event.

09:04For GMA Integrated News, Mackie Pulido, for 24 Hours.

09:12A party list car that is running for the election 2025

09:16was questioned in Comelec because it was a vote-buying car.

09:21The video and photos uploaded on social media are the basis of the petition.

09:27And Sandra Aguinaldo was the one who pointed it out.

09:32Get these videos and photos from social media.

09:36It shows that three new cars were awarded by the CWS Party List

09:41in a competition in Lipan City, Batangas.

09:45This is the basis of the petition

09:48to the Commission on Elections against the CWS Party List

09:52by J. Manalo Ilagan, Vice Mayor of Mataas na Kahoy,

09:56and running Governor of Batangas.

09:59Ilagan said that this is considered a vote-buying car.

10:02Because the cars were awarded on February 13 to 15,

10:06the campaign period for the party list has already started.

10:10He specifically questioned CWS Party List Representative Edwin Gardiola

10:15for his petition.

10:17And this is also on the call of the Commission on Elections

10:21asking for help if there is anyone who will know

10:24that they will be violated,

10:26they should inform their office.

10:28I am thankful to CWS for accepting all of this.

10:32And the whole area is only CWS,

10:36only the tarpaulins.

10:39The photos and videos that Ilagan included in his petition

10:43were posted on the Facebook page of the actor Luis Manzano

10:47and Barako Fest, which is also the name of the event.

10:50You can see the gratitude of the gubernatorial candidate

10:54for the support of the CWS Party List.

10:56And the gratitude of the gubernatorial candidate Vilma Santos-Recto

11:00for the support of the CWS Party List.

11:03Santos-Recto and Ilagan will face an election as governors.

11:08This has nothing to do with the election.

11:11We tried to get Gardiola's reaction

11:14through calls, texts, e-mails, and social media,

11:17but he did not respond.

11:19We also asked for a reaction from Santos-Recto.

11:21Comelec refused to give a statement on Ilagan's petition.

11:26The commission reminds that the awarding of the award

11:29of a gubernatorial candidate is prohibited by the law

11:33and is under the jurisdiction of Comelec.

11:35The holding of talent games, talent shows, bingo games,

11:40and other similar activities that involves the distribution of prizes

11:44where the name of the candidate is clearly posted.

11:48And if that is what happened in this case,

11:51then that is already presumed to be a violation.

11:58So in which case, the burden is now shifted on the respondent.

12:04For GMA Integrated News, Sandra Aguinaldo, Rokotuto, 24 Hours.

12:10And regarding the complaint of Vote Baying Umano,

12:14the CWS Party List has not yet received a copy of the complaint,

12:18according to its statement.

12:19That is the reason why they have not yet been able to comment on it.

12:24Even so, it was insisted that they should always and continuously follow

12:29the rules laid down by Comelec.

12:31They should be prepared to face the complaint at the right time and forum.

12:36The head of BarakuFest said that they are the ones who are responsible for all the awards.

12:43They did not award the awards, but instead, they fought against those who fell.

12:47They also have a lot of institutional partners at BarakuFest every year,

12:52including the CWS Party List.

12:59Chika Minute, Kapuso!

13:01And the one who will bring us the latest on the showbiz happenings tonight

13:05is one of the cast of the long-awaited Encantadia Chronicles Sangre,

13:10none other than Sangre Pirena Glyza de Castro.

13:15Glyza!

13:17Thank you, Ms. Vicky!

13:19And Avisala, Kapuso!

13:22We can really feel the unique love for the newest JMA Afternoon Primetime,

13:27by Mommy Dearest.

13:29It is not only our Kapuso who made it to the world premiere yesterday,

13:33but also the cast, who is happy and grateful for the fruits of their hard-earned series.

13:39That is the story of Lars Santiago.

13:41Mama!

13:44It's so annoying!

13:45Sangre! Sangre!

13:47What are you doing? Why are you touching my son?

13:49Wait, Ms.

13:51And it's heartbreaking.

13:53Son, I promise you.

13:57The world premiere of the new JMA Afternoon Prime series, by Mommy Dearest,

14:02is a rollercoaster of emotions.

14:06The hearts of Kapuso and the cast of Watch Party are beating together.

14:15Present are Camille Prats, Katrina Halili, Shane Saba, Dion Ignacio, Prince Carlos, and Ami Austria.

14:26In the pilot episode, the two mothers are introduced in the series.

14:32Emma, who does everything for her sick child,

14:36and Olive, who lost her child due to a mishap.

14:40That's why the attention was focused on the mistake she made in the pediatric ward.

14:48We're happy with what we watched, but we're also nervous.

14:55I hope it's okay.

14:57It's a different kind of Watch Party.

14:59It's my first time to experience watching the first airing together with the whole cast.

15:03And Uncle Lars, it feels good because we've been doing this for a year.

15:08In their interview with JMA Integrated News,

15:13Camille and Kat shared how they became a mother to their child.

15:20I want to be intentional in building relationships with my children.

15:24But I can't say that I'm not disciplinarian because discipline is important to children.

15:29What I learned is that you have to be close to your child.

15:33I don't want them to be distant from me.

15:37Especially now, I want my child to be sweet to me.

15:41I grew up not being sweet to my mom because we're not used to it.

15:45And even though they're busy with their schedules,

15:48it's clear to them what the priority is.

15:53So every time I have time, I want to...

15:57We haven't traveled together yet.

16:00I hope this year. We'll travel together.

16:03I didn't realize that that's the impact of being a mother.

16:05When your presence is not there in the house,

16:08they really feel that you're not there.

16:11At first, I thought it was just a drama.

16:13But eventually, I realized that's the role of a mother.

16:18You really have to be there for your family.

16:21Lars Santiago updated on the showbiz happening.

16:27On his 11th day in the hospital,

16:30he was diagnosed with a mild condition of kidney failure.

16:35Even though he's still critical.

16:38According to the Holy See Press Office,

16:40Pope was able to work yesterday

16:42and was able to call a church in Gaza

16:45to thank them for sending a video message

16:48asking for his immediate recovery.

16:51He also said that he didn't experience

16:53an asthma-like respiratory distress.

16:56There's also an improvement in the results of his laboratory tests.

17:00While he's continuing with his oxygen therapy

17:03and monitoring his kidney.

17:28The Senate is now preparing for the impeachment trial

17:31of Vice President Sara Duterte,

17:34the third case to be investigated in the history of the Philippines.

17:37Rules of impeachment are being studied

17:40and a robe will be made for the senators to be judged.

17:44In the Senate Museum,

17:46the former impeachment robes were displayed

17:48including the current senator and now President Bongbong Marcos.

17:51This is what they will use for the impeachment trial

17:55of former Chief Justice Renato Corona.

17:57This is what President Bongbong Marcos will wear

17:59who was a former senator.

18:01But they changed the fabric,

18:04they made it velvet,

18:06so it's not used anymore.

18:08But there are different versions here.

18:10Senate President Chisa Escudero said

18:12that they will use this color

18:14because this is the official color of the Senate.

18:16There is also an impeachment vault

18:18where the envelopes of evidence of the impeachment

18:21of former President Estrada were placed.

18:23The witness stand for the Corona impeachment

18:26which is also displayed here,

18:27is what was taken first

18:29to be used again in the impeachment of VP Sara.

18:31In an impeachment trial,

18:33the senator judges will decide

18:35if the defendant is guilty or not guilty.

18:38If the defendant is guilty,

18:40he will be removed from his position

18:42and will not be able to hold any position in the government.

18:44Like the case of former Chief Justice Renato Corona

18:47in 2012,

18:49who was found guilty

18:51for not declaring wealth

18:53in his Statement of Assets, Liabilities, and Net Worth or SALIN.

18:55If he is acquitted,

18:57he will be able to file an impeachment complaint

18:59after a year.

19:01In the history of the Philippines,

19:03no one has been acquitted

19:05from the impeached officials.

19:07The impeachment trial may also not continue

19:09because the official resigned

19:11like the case of former Ombudsman

19:13Maria Merceditas Gutierrez

19:15who was impeached

19:17for not taking immediate action

19:19in the cases of former President Gloria Arroyo

19:21and others.

19:23In 2011,

19:25she resigned

19:27and the Senate just archived

19:29the impeachment complaint against her.

19:31In the case of former Comelec Chairman Andres Bautista

19:33in 2017,

19:35a few hours after he announced

19:37that he will resign at the end of the year,

19:39he was impeached by the camera

19:41for not declaring wealth

19:43and others.

19:45President Rodrigo Duterte

19:47immediately accepted his resignation.

19:49But the constitutional law expert

19:51Atty. Domingo Cayoza

19:52said that the impeachment trial

19:54should continue

19:56even if the official resigned.

19:58It's not just the removal of the penalty

20:00but also the disqualification

20:02of holding a position in the government.

20:22Even if the impeachment trial

20:24can start,

20:26it can still continue

20:28like the case of former President Joseph Estrada

20:30in 2001

20:32because there was an EDSA 2

20:34before he was elected.

20:36Cayoza said that

20:38this is a violation of justice.

20:40Admittedly,

20:42impeachment trial

20:44is a political process

20:46but it is not totally political.

20:48So,

20:50equally important,

20:52then the

20:54political

20:56persuasions

20:58of the actors

21:00in the impeachment trial

21:02is the truth

21:04and accountability.

21:06And you can only determine that

21:08in an orderly manner

21:10if you finish an impeachment trial.

21:12The Supreme Court can make a decision

21:14to remove an official

21:16like former Chief Justice

21:18Maria Lourdes Sereno.

21:20In 2018,

21:22the Supreme Court

21:24filed an impeachment complaint

21:26against her

21:28for not filing her case

21:30when she was still teaching in UP.

21:32But she was fired

21:34by her fellow magistrate

21:36in the Supreme Court

21:38who filed a co-oranto petition

21:40against her.

21:42Whatever the scenario,

21:44Cayoza said

21:46that criminal and civil cases

21:48can still be filed

21:50against an impeached official.

21:52In fact, even civil charges

21:54for cases for

21:56civil damages

21:58may arise out of

22:00the same file.

22:02For GMA Integrated News,

22:04Mav Gonzales,

24:01For GMA Integrated News,

24:03Tina Panganiban Perez

24:05for 24 Hours.

24:11After the temporary shutdown yesterday,

24:14the effect of the shutdown

24:15is now getting worse.

24:17Particularly,

24:19part of Visayas is reaching the east

24:21along with the continuous

24:23flooding of Amihan in Luzon.

24:25The easterly is the most affected

24:27in the rest of the country.

24:29Based on the data of Metro Weather,

24:31there are still rains in Cagayan Valley,

25:51For Tineguri,

25:53Timeless Heartthrob

25:55by Gaby Concepcion

25:57is her secret

25:59even though she is getting old.

26:01Self-love.

26:03I take things moderately.

26:05Now you know what to eat

26:07and what not to eat.

26:09You have a conscience to think

26:11what is this?

26:14Gaby is very happy

26:16that she can sing

26:18and take a selfie

26:20with some loyal fans.

26:22She is thankful

26:24for the love she is being given

26:26for being an artist for a long time.

26:29I recall the times

26:31when we have fans day

26:33at 4 o'clock every Sunday.

26:35I hope we will have this again

26:37but of course,

26:39everybody is busy these days

26:41and we can request

26:43for a concert.

26:45Gaby's excitement

26:47grabbed the fans

26:49when she announced

26:51her new project at GMA

26:53with scenes to be shot abroad.

26:55Story Con is over.

26:57I heard it and I like it.

26:59I have some suggestions.

27:01It's good because

27:03when we had a second Story Con,

27:05it was a bit thick

27:07which is good

27:09and I know that

27:11it will continue.

27:13We are Santiago

27:15updated on the showbiz happening.

27:18Breaking news,

27:20a convoy of the chief

27:22of the Philippine National Police

27:24was arrested

27:26at EDSA busway

27:28in Ortigas.

27:30Sir, who is that?

27:32Who is that?

27:34Sir, what is happening here?

27:36You know that there is a pandemic here.

27:38It's an emergency.

27:40I know that.

27:41In the exclusive video

27:43obtained by GMA Integrated News,

27:45we can see the last person

27:47of the DOTR Psyche

27:49in the police

27:51as a member of the convoy.

27:53The convoy's vehicle did not go down

27:55but when the police asked

27:57who is in the vehicle,

27:59the chief of the Philippine National Police said

28:01that this incident is being discussed

28:03at EDSA busway

28:05because there is an emergency

28:07and they will go to Campo Crame.

28:09The convoy did not see

28:11the other convoy

28:13to get a ticket.

28:15We are trying to get hold of

28:17the chief of the Philippine National Police,

28:19General Rommel Marvil.

28:21In the oral arguments earlier,

28:23the Supreme Court questioned

28:25the remit of PhilHealth

28:27of 60 billion pesos

28:29to the national government

28:31even though it still has a debt.

28:33Mark Salazar was the witness.

28:37The Supreme Court

28:38questioned the remit

28:40of PhilHealth

28:42of 60 billion pesos

28:44to the national government

28:46even though it still has a debt.

28:48Associate Justice Amy Lazaro Javier

28:50was the witness.

28:52Has PhilHealth paid

28:54all the recorded

28:56and recognized claims

28:58Your Honor

29:00before it transferred

29:02the funds to the treasury?

29:04Your Honor,

29:06in a certain

29:08cut-off date,

29:10definitely not all

29:12were paid.

29:14Not all were paid

29:16and yet you transferred

29:18the funds already.

29:20In the 2021 financial statement

29:22of PhilHealth

29:24that was audited by COA,

29:26PhilHealth paid

29:281.16 trillion pesos

29:30while its assets

29:32are only 347 billion.

29:34This means that

29:36PhilHealth's deficit

29:38is more than

29:40816 billion pesos.

29:42Even if you double up

29:44your assets,

29:46they're not enough

29:48to pay off

29:50your liabilities.

29:52In the 2021 financial statement

29:54of PhilHealth

29:56that was audited

29:58by COA,

30:00PhilHealth paid

30:021.16 trillion pesos

30:04while its assets

30:06are only 347 billion.

30:08The deficit slowly

30:10dropped to 26 billion pesos

30:12in 2022

30:14but it's still a deficit.

30:16From these assets,

30:18the law requires PhilHealth

30:20to set aside

30:22a portion

30:24called reserve funds

30:26precisely

30:28to cover payments

30:30for the claims

30:32of beneficiaries

30:34and that portion

30:36has to be used

30:38to cover

30:40the claims,

30:42to pay the claims

30:44of the beneficiaries.

30:46And if there is an excess,

30:48then additional programs

30:50should be set up.

30:52And if there is still

30:54an excess

30:56in the excess,

30:58then investment

31:00may be made.

31:02But PhilHealth said

31:04that they won't pay

31:05the direct contribution

31:07of the members.

31:28The government corporate council

31:30of PhilHealth also said

31:32that PhilHealth won't pay

31:33because this is the government's answer.

31:53Outside the Supreme Court,

31:55the petitioners asked

31:57why they are asking the government

31:59to return the 60 billion pesos

32:01that they took from PhilHealth.

32:03The government abandoned

32:05its responsibility

32:07to give subsidies

32:09to the indirect contributors,

32:11the indigent,

32:13and now they are asking

32:15the workers

32:17to contribute.

32:19It is clear

32:21that PhilHealth's fund

32:23is not enough

32:25for this reserve fund.

32:27It is not enough

32:29to say that as long as

32:31PhilHealth has a balanced fund

32:33it is already a balanced fund.

32:35Earlier, Dr. Tony Liatsion

32:37also filed a petition

32:39against the government and congress

32:41for giving a zero budget

32:43to PhilHealth for 2025.

32:45The oral argument

32:47in the Supreme Court

32:49continues.

32:51For GMA Integrated News,

32:53Mark Salazar,

32:5524 Hours.

32:57Even if it's not a holiday,

32:59the spirit of EDSA

33:01is still alive

33:03for the anniversary

33:05of the 1986 People Power Revolution

33:08led by Raffi Chima.

33:13In the middle of a hot day

33:15and heavy traffic,

33:17some militant groups

33:19marched to the People Power Monument.

33:22But because there was no permit

33:24to pass the program there,

33:26the rallyists set up on White Plains Avenue.

33:29The police guarded

33:31the area around the People Power Monument

33:33while the rallyists

33:35gathered at their makeshift stage

33:37at the back of Campo Aguinaldo.

33:39Like the former EDSA,

33:41pare and madre

33:43were the first to attend.

33:45They were the ones who gave

33:47a hand to the people of the Church

33:49who led the EDSA People Power Revolution

33:51in 1986.

33:53If the people are united,

33:55no force can stand

33:58against the voice of truth.

34:01According to the PNP,

34:036,000 people participated

34:05in the rally.

34:07Most of the participants

34:09are young people.

34:11EDSA is not a street.

34:13EDSA is every Filipino.

34:15The democracy we are facing

34:17is because of the EDSA.

34:19EDSA is a symbol

34:21of our unity

34:23and we should celebrate it every year.

34:25The National Historical Commission

34:27of the Philippines

34:29held a wreath laying

34:31at the People Power Monument

34:33to commemorate the EDSA People Power

34:35who brought democracy back to the Philippines.

34:37Some members of the Aquino family

34:39in Tarlac celebrated the EDSA People Power Revolution.

34:42The Aquino Center and Museum

34:44in Tarlac City was reopened

34:46after a two-year renovation.

34:48The book launching of the book

34:50about the former President Noy Noy Aquino

34:52was held at the new museum

34:54The Life, Politics and Privacy

34:56of the former Senator Noy Noy Aquino,

34:58former President Cory Aquino

35:00and former President Noy Noy Aquino.

37:20Thank you very much,

37:22Nelson Canlas.

37:23Meanwhile,

37:25watch out for job openings

37:27to become a driver.

37:29Three Filipinos are being driven

37:31by a vehicle with a gadget

37:33that can get information

37:35from the cell phones

37:37in its path.

37:39They were arrested

37:41and two Chinese were ordered

37:43to do so because of a spy.

37:45Ian Cruz was arrested.

37:48The NBI Special Task Force

37:50and Cybercrime Division

37:51arrested this vehicle

37:53being driven by a Filipino.

37:55The vehicle has a catcher

37:57of the International Mobile

37:59Subscriber Identity or IMSI

38:01which is a so-called fake cell tower.

38:03Aside from the number,

38:05the IMSI catcher

38:07can get all the information

38:09from a cell phone

38:11so it can be used as a spy.

38:13It captures IMSI numbers,

38:16track location,

38:18intercept metadata,

38:19and exploit network

38:21vulnerabilities.

38:26Okay?

38:29They go around

38:31our installations,

38:33camps,

38:35government installations,

38:37and when they get close

38:39to that place,

38:41they can get information

38:43from text messages,

38:45telephone numbers

38:47near the area

38:49which is very dangerous.

38:51Many received

38:53text messages

38:55from what they thought

38:57to be legitimate companies

38:59or legitimate organizations

39:01but that information

39:03comes from the IMSI catcher

39:05because what it does

39:07is when it is in a place

39:09it collects data,

39:11numbers,

39:13and messages

39:15from a cell phone

39:17that is close to it.

39:19Three Chinese

39:21and three Filipinos

39:23are driving these cars

39:25when they were arrested

39:27in Tondo, Malati, Manila,

39:29and Bulacan

39:31and they were charged

39:33with espionage.

39:35The NBI called the AFP

39:37to the operation.

39:39When they passed by

39:41Camp Aguinaldo

39:43which is based on our intelligence

39:45they saw someone enter there.

39:47The flow of data,

39:49they were basically intercepted.

39:51According to one of the three Filipinos,

39:53they are charged P3,000 per day

39:55and the Chinese

39:57tell them where to go.

39:59They don't know anything

40:01about the operation.

40:03I don't know.

40:05I was just told to drive.

40:07Two of the IMSI catchers

40:09were arrested in Tondo

40:11by Chinese

40:13Ni Qinwei and Zheng Wei

40:15in Malati, Manila.

40:17Qinwei's wife

40:19was arrested in the condo unit.

40:21Why were you arrested?

40:23All alive.

40:25According to the AFP,

40:27they should be alert

40:29to those receiving work

40:31from far away

40:33especially if there are devices

40:35in the vehicle they are driving.

40:37If someone is hiring us

40:39and you see these gadgets

40:41and you are to drive that

40:43we should ask.

40:45We should not only look for work

40:47but also the protection

40:49of those who were previously arrested

40:51by the Chinese spies

40:53for two new Chinese arrests.
