00:00We will be together in TAKLI!
00:17A thick smoke and blazing fire faced the firefighters in Tejeros, Makati City.
00:23A man was hit by a first-degree burn in his neck, arm and neck.
00:28A dog was also injured.
00:30The fire broke out around 6 p.m. and was extinguished after more than an hour.
00:35The fire station is investigating.
00:42According to witnesses, a 200-year-old man was arrested in a raid in Umunoy Pogo in a commercial building in Makati City.
00:49According to PAOK, this is considered a security risk because some countries' embassies are also operating in this area.
00:58Witness, Salimah Refra.
01:04Under the visa of the Warrant of Arrest, PAOK, PNP-CIDG and Makati City Police entered a commercial building in Makati City.
01:14The company introduced a special class VTO, but there was no permit from PAGCOR.
01:20The company is said to be a back-end of online sports betting and casino platforms.
01:25There is an online gaming platform that is prohibited in other countries.
01:34That's why there are Japanese inside, Malaysians, Chinese, Taiwanese, Hongkongers and Brazilians.
01:46Pogo's operation is also involved in scamming.
01:49Aside from computers, cellphones and SIM cards, there are also text blasters and MC catchers.
01:57Those text blasters are used in scamming operations.
02:00These are the ones that spread the text blasts.
02:03And then the MC catchers are the ones who get the data.
02:10According to PAOK, this is dangerous, especially since some embassies are also operating in Gosali.
02:16It's dangerous.
02:17We know about the presence of hackers.
02:23And then you will be surrounded by these.
02:26So, it's a security risk.
02:29200 people were arrested.
02:32They are under investigation for verification of their immigration status.
02:36Around 100 Filipinos will be arrested, including the subject of the warrant, wanted for the robbery case.
02:42Gosali is also investigating why Pogo was able to operate there.
02:48Aside from checking the permits, the documents that they present, they need also to check the people who enter here.
02:57GMA Integrated News is also collecting the news of Gosali.
03:01For GMA Integrated News, I'm Nima Refra, your Saksi.
03:06Two days after the gift of a cellphone, a 12-year-old student was held up in Taguig.
03:12The suspect, a rider, introduced himself.
03:14He was looking for the three victims' acquaintances.
03:18Saksi, Ian Cruz.
03:23At 6 in the morning, a student in Barangay Calzada, in Taguig, was caught on a motorcycle.
03:30The rider turned around on the road when he turned around.
03:34He lowered the student who was walking away while the rider was still following him.
03:39While he was walking away, he saw the rider who was holding a cellphone.
03:44The rider told the 12-year-old student, along with his mother, that the victim told him what happened.
03:52He said he would follow a classmate when the rider asked about the three people he met.
03:59I asked if they knew the person.
04:03And then?
04:04He said he would accompany me. I was taken away.
04:09They took the student to a place.
04:12There, the man borrowed his cellphone to message the person he was looking for.
04:18But he did not return the cellphone to him and threatened him.
04:22He threatened me with a gun.
04:24He told me not to shout. He said he would shoot me.
04:27According to the victim's mother, the child was terrified of what happened.
04:31He said he would shoot me. He would kill me. He did that again and again.
04:35According to the victim's mother, they gave the child a cellphone that was only two days old.
04:41The child brought the cellphone for the first time because of an open exam where they were allowed to use a cellphone.
04:47Using a different gadget, the victim was able to read the rider's message to his acquaintance because he used his account.
04:55In the message, Jason, a romanticist, introduced the suspect.
04:59We are referring the suspect to the CSWD for counselling.
05:06With the help of the barangay, the mother filed a formal complaint with the police so that the suspect would be punished.
05:12You have a big face and if you have a consent to return the cellphone, it was only two days old.
05:19If you do not return it, you will not be able to use it because we will block you.
05:23For GMA Integrated News, I am Ian Cruz, your witness.
05:28Our next news is sensitive.
05:32A body was found on Marilake Highway in Santa Maria, Laguna.
05:38First, a garbage bag was found where a leg was placed and it was bent.
05:45Next, a leg and 20 people were found.
05:49According to the police, they immediately disposed of the body and ordered DNA testing.
05:55The police also asked the neighboring town if the body of a person was found.
06:02The investigation continues.
06:05Arrested in Albay is an American fugitive who is a member of a gang and a member of a big-time drug cartel.
06:13Our witness is John Consulta, Exclusive.
06:21Don't move, don't move.
06:22We are of immigration.
06:23Bureau of Immigration.
06:24I'm just cooperating, okay?
06:25We're agents of Bureau of Immigration Fugitive Search Unit.
06:27The 50-year-old US fugitive was not caught when the Bureau of Immigration Fugitive Search Unit arrested him in Pulanggi, Albay.
06:35The fugitive was found there.
06:37When he arrived in the Philippines, he came from America.
06:39We immediately formed a tracker team to find him.
06:42We noticed that this subject is a bit difficult because during our first surveillance, he was able to move his house.
06:50According to the BIFSU, he has a warrant of arrest in America due to the entry of a drug addict who is a member of the Sinaloa Drug Cartel.
06:58He is said to be a member of the Devil's Disciples Gang where he distributes methamphetamine and heroin in his area,
07:09where his source is the Sinaloa Drug Cartel.
07:14Aside from smuggling drugs, the gang's collector also arrested a US national who uses drugs in an unpaid criminal group.
07:23Before the suspect is deported to America, the BIFSU will first find out if he is also involved in any crime in the country.
07:30We are also trying to get a copy of Daiwang Pugante.
07:33For GMA Integrated News, John Consulta is your witness.
07:40I am Rodrigo Roa Duterte.
07:51Foreign lawyers who have experience in the ICC are now talking to Vice President Sara Duterte
07:56to become the lawyer of former President Rodrigo Duterte.
08:01The ICC has now appointed Nicholas Kaufman as the lead defense counsel
08:06who said that the help of a Filipino lawyer will be needed if there is a case.
08:11From The Hague, Netherlands, this is Marie Jomali.
08:20Yes, Pia.
08:21Pia, Rodrigo Duterte visited the former President again,
08:26his lead counsel, Atty. Nicholas Kaufman, here in the Skaveninga Prison
08:32to talk about the next step.
08:37He arrived here at the detention facility at 2 p.m.
08:42According to Atty. Kaufman, they will talk about the nature of the complaint that the former President is facing.
08:49They will also discuss how to fight and win this complaint.
08:59He did not mention any legal steps.
09:02But based on what Atty. Kaufman told us,
09:07one of the basis of their petition to the International Criminal Court
09:14is the method of arresting the former President.
09:17When we asked if only foreign lawyers will form the defense team of the former President,
09:24this is what Atty. Kaufman said.
09:31So it will be an all foreign team?
09:35There is an essential element of any case of the International Criminal Court
09:39that there is a need for foreign lawyers.
09:42So there will definitely be involvement of Filipino lawyers. I need them.
09:46I need them.
09:53The former President Rodrigo Duterte has a high moral and a good attitude
09:57that he remains in the hospital inside the ICC Detention Center in Daheg, Netherlands.
10:03According to his son, Vice President Sara Duterte, after visiting his father.
10:08He said that he does not do anything outside because he is not yet a mayor.
10:13So he might as well borrow money from them.
10:16He is very friendly with people inside.
10:21According to BICE, an all foreign defense team is being formed by their camp
10:26to defend the former President in the International Criminal Court.
10:29Vice President Sara herself is talking to foreign lawyers who have experience in the ICC.
10:35I still have lawyers to talk to.
10:40I will interview a lawyer to join the team.
10:46The British-Israeli lawyer, Attorney Nicholas Kaufman,
10:49who was confirmed by the ICC, was the first to be appointed by Duterte as lead counsel.
10:54He became a lawyer in the ICC of Jean-Pierre Bemba,
10:57the former Vice President of the Congo,
10:59who was facing war crimes and crimes against humanity.
11:03But he was acquitted in the appeals chamber in 2018.
11:06BICE and former Presidential Spokesperson Attorney Harry Roque did not join the defense team.
11:11BICE added that it is time for their defense team to be organized.
11:15The former Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea will be released.
11:19Once the team for the ICC is organized,
11:24Attorney Medialdea will withdraw because there are only limited slots for lawyers.
11:33And we want all the lawyers on board who have ICC experience.
11:41Medialdea will be visiting the former President yesterday,
11:44but his health deteriorated.
11:46That's why he was brought to the hospital.
11:48His condition is better now, according to Senator Robin Padilla.
11:51We need to talk about those kinds of situations.
11:55Because it's like an attack.
11:58You can't understand it.
12:00Was it a heart attack?
12:02He had a stent.
12:05Yesterday, his heart was slow.
12:11He wanted to go home.
12:14As an accused in a murder case as a crime against humanity,
12:18the former President Duterte has the right to know what is happening to him.
12:22That's why the Office of the Prosecutor of the ICC will give to the defense team
12:26the testimony of witnesses and other evidence.
12:29To also afford them the proper opportunity to examine the evidence,
12:35challenge the credibility of the witnesses.
12:38But the protection and support of the ICC to the witnesses is not guaranteed.
12:42It can only be used as an alias on the witness list.
12:45And if the safety of the witness is not guaranteed,
12:48the ICC Registry is ready to relocate him and his family.
12:52As for the transfer, it can only be done through videoconferencing.
12:57If the court allows, the voice can also be changed and the face of the witness can be hidden.
13:02It can also be a closed session,
13:04or only the judges are in charge of giving the testimony.
13:07Based on what is posted on the ICC website,
13:10if they need to go to The Hague to witness,
13:13the ICC will arrange their visas.
13:16And while in The Hague, the witnesses will receive an allowance.
13:20There is also an allowance to exchange for no income while witnessing in the ICC.
13:25The court will also take care of their mental health.
13:29I think there is no timeline on the protective measures under the rules.
13:34So it can last for some time even after the trial.
13:39Although we do have to acknowledge that the ICC does not have infinite resources.
13:45This protective measure is for all witnesses, prosecution or defense.
13:51Based on what is written on the ICC website,
13:54it is not affected by the protective measures to be fair in the trial.
14:03Thank you Pia.
14:04At the moment, Attorney Kaufman is still inside the detention facility.
14:08We are waiting to hear what he can say
14:12as a detail of their latest conversation with former President Rodrigo Duterte.
14:17And this is still the latest from The Hague, Netherlands.
14:21I am Maryse O'Malley.
14:22Your witness is being recorded.
