NewsTranscript
00:00Some Pasig residents are concerned about the illegal caravan that was caught on Marcos Highway.
00:06According to the barangay, they saw the drag racing, but they have no right to stick to it.
00:12Mark Salazar is a witness.
00:18The noisy revolution of the cars in the middle of the night.
00:23That's what the residents of Marcos Highway, part of Pasig, are waiting for.
00:30And the presence of those who do drag racing, dangerous on the road.
00:40A full resident took a video and complained to the police yesterday.
00:45At about 1 to 2 am, sir, we got a call from 911.
00:52Legitimately, there was a drag racing on Marcos Highway.
00:56Then immediately, our police responded to the area.
01:00When the troops were there, they ran.
01:03So maybe they got scared.
01:05So when the troops arrived there, there were two motorcycles left.
01:10The passengers on motorcycles are the ones who stop other motorists
01:14to clear and make the Marcos Highway a racetrack.
01:18They can see the residents of the barangay,
01:20but they are not deputized to stick to the traffic violation.
01:24Most of the time, sir, when there are no people on the other side,
01:29that's where they stop.
01:32Yesterday, the police raided, they passed by and ran.
01:35Maybe they are watching our cars.
01:37Every time they turn around, maybe it will turn red.
01:40Then when they are far away, that's where they drag race.
01:46The Pasig Police Substation 8 is located in Malawa.
01:49And there are only 15 police officers per shift.
01:53There are three barangays in our area.
01:56But we will not neglect the Marcos Highway
01:59because it is a strategic place for the submission of many people.
02:04In this impounding area,
02:06the two motorcycles involved in drag racing were brought.
02:10One of the motorcycles was already redeemed
02:12and he was fined P4,400 for violating the Anti-Drag Racing Ordinance of Pasig.
02:21There is no lead on the two cars that were arrested
02:24because their plates were not caught in the viral video.
02:28Aside from the fine of P4,400 for violating the Anti-Drag Racing Ordinance,
02:33their drivers are also facing a fine of P2,000 for reckless driving.
02:40We are still backtracking
02:42if it is possible for us to get closer to the CCTV in our area.
02:47For GMA Integrated News,
02:49Mark Salazar, your witness.
02:54Good news for those who are traveling via Cavite-Parañaque.
02:57It is faster to travel through the new Cavitex C5 Link Sukat Interchange.
03:04And this is free within a month.
03:06Witness Tina Panganiban Perez.
03:12Cavitex C5 Link Sukat Interchange is open to the public at 6 p.m.
03:18And according to President Marcos,
03:20who led the inauguration ceremony,
03:22the interchange will greatly help reduce the travel time.
03:27Motorists will now be able to travel smoothly, safely, and conveniently
03:32from Cavitex R1 to Sukat, Parañaque within just five minutes.
03:38It is a dramatic improvement from the usual one-hour travel time
03:42via existing public roads from Cavite-Parañaque.
03:46And the good news,
03:47there will be a 30-day free toll here.
03:51At first glance,
03:52more than 20,000 vehicles will benefit from this every day.
03:57I now invite my fellow Filipinos to take advantage of our expressways.
04:01Experience firsthand the ease and convenience
04:04that these roads will bring to our daily lives.
04:07The President also led the groundbreaking ceremony
04:10for the Cavitex Calax Link,
04:12which will be connected to Cavitex and Cavite-Laguna Expressways.
04:16And the Cavitex C5 Link Segment 3B,
04:19which will be connected to Cavitex Parañaque and C5 Road Taguig.
04:23It will also speed up the journey from Cavitex Parañaque to C5 Road Taguig
04:29when Cavitex C5 Link Segment 3B is completed in 2025.
04:34We expect that the travel time from Cavitex R1 Expressway section
04:40to SLEX C5 Road will greatly be reduced
04:45from what is now 40 minutes to 10 minutes.
04:49The help expected from motorists will also be felt even in business and economy.
04:56That will again be to the benefit of our small businessmen,
05:01to our farmers,
05:02and all of those who require transportation for their livelihood.
05:08For GMA Integrated News, Tina Panganiban Perez, your witness.
05:15Former Negros Oriental Governor, Pride Henry Tevez,
05:18was surprised by the allegation that he is involved in terrorism.
05:21Yesterday, Tevez filed a $600,000 lawsuit
05:24for the Terrorism Financing Prevention and Suppression Act of 2012.
05:30Despite the former governor, he did not hide from the law
05:33and was ready to face the court.
05:35He was also ready to show his bank accounts
05:38to make sure that no one would suspect him.
05:43PORAC and PAGCOR were laughed at by those who have jurisdiction
05:49in the PORAC-POGO hub.
05:51In the case of POGO in Bamban,
05:53Suspended Mayor Alice Guo and 13 others were formally arrested for Qualified Human Trafficking.
06:00Salim Manrefan is a witness.
06:05Aside from the scamming activities,
06:07the PORAC-POGO hub in Bamban, Tarlac,
06:10was discovered by almost 800 foreigners and Filipinos,
06:13some of whom were victims of harassment and human trafficking.
06:17This is included in the allegations of Qualified Human Trafficking
06:21filed by PAOC and PNP-CIDG against Suspended Bamban Mayor Alice Guo and 13 others.
06:29It was mentioned in the complaint that Mayor Alice Guo was holding documents
06:35held by the Bureau of Immigration and were distributed by Senator Wyn Gatsalya.
06:39Evidence came out of this,
06:41such as the fact that he applied to the former NOLO,
06:48the NOLO from the local government.
06:50His involvement in the Lesar Company also came out.
06:53His name was mentioned in the documents that were found in the POGO compound.
06:58Business partners of Guo were also accused,
07:01including one fugitive in China,
07:03two suspects in the money laundering case in Singapore,
07:06and officers and incorporators in Baofu Land Development,
07:09Hongsheng Gaming and Zunyuan Technology.
07:12Former Technology and Livelihood Resource Center Deputy Director General Dennis Cunanan was also involved.
07:18Based on the documents obtained from the POGO in Bamban,
07:21Cunanan also has a connection to the POGO in PORAC Pampanga.
07:25After piecing together the pieces of evidence,
07:28we concluded and we decided that he is part of the grand conspiracy to commit labor trafficking.
07:36The Justice Department prepared the Immigration Law and Bulletin Order
07:40against Guo, Cunanan, and 12 other respondents.
07:44The Mayor's camp said that he was ready to face a complaint.
07:49It is not enough to have a connection to the companies or individuals to arrest him for human trafficking.
07:55GMA Integrated News is still looking for Cunanan.
07:59When the Pampanga Provincial Government visited the POGO compound of Lucky South 99 in PORAC,
08:05the LGU of PORAC and PAG-GOR,
08:08were able to find out who is in their jurisdiction of the POGO Hub.
08:19The LGU can enter any establishment if there is an illegal income.
08:24PAG-GOR said that only one out of 46 households in the PORAC compound were given a POGO permit.
08:31It also started as a BPO who was just answering questions about online casino games.
08:38Eventually, we were able to find out who is in their jurisdiction of the POGO Hub.
08:45We were able to issue a 2020 valid POGO permit until October 27, 2023.
08:53Lucky South 99 also went out of business in the SSS, PhilHealth, and Pag-IBIG.
08:59Approximately 800 employees were registered for immigration.
09:04Not all of them were able to receive a POGO permit.
09:09Approximately 800 employees were registered for immigration.
09:14Not all of them were able to receive a POGO permit.
09:17Not all of them were able to receive a POGO permit.
09:23Lucky South 99 was not amused by what he heard,
09:26but he faced the list of its incorporators.
09:30He was also the president of World Wind Company,
09:33which owns the land owned by POGO.
09:36He only used his name and was removed in 2019,
09:40but he was still included in the corporation's papers.
09:43World Wind was the only company that was pushed.
09:48I was only removed there.
09:50Lucky South is still using my name.
09:53Aside from PORAC and Bamban, other places were also being monitored,
09:57where it is possible that there is an illegal POGO Hub.
10:00Maybe there are four local government officials who are helping us.
10:04We are intensifying our fight against this illegal POGO.
10:08For GMA Integrated News, Salima Refran, your Saksi.
10:14Today is the longest day of the year in the world.
10:17That is the effect of the June Solstice, also called the Summer Solstice,
10:21because it also marks the beginning of summer in the Northern Hemisphere.
10:25Winter begins in the Southern Hemisphere.
10:29Here in the Philippines, even though summer is over,
10:32it experienced 13 hours of daytime earlier, according to the forecast.
10:36And tomorrow, based on the data of Metro Weather,
10:39there will be rains in some parts of Central and Southern Luzon,
10:42Cagayan Valley, Ilocos Region, and a large part of Visayas and Mindanao.
10:47On Sunday, it is possible that there will be rains again.
10:50And more people will experience heavy to intense rains,
10:53so be alert in case of floods or landslides.
10:57Metro Manila will also be prepared for the chance of rain this weekend.
11:01There will be heavy rains and localized thunderstorms
11:04that will affect a large part of the country.
11:09Drivers are in panic because of the big-time oil price hike.
11:13Next week, Saksi with Jamie Santos.
11:19Motorists are already having a headache
11:21because we are talking about budgeting for gasoline or diesel.
11:24There is a big-time oil price hike planned for next week,
11:29according to the Department of Energy.
11:31Diesel is the biggest, almost two pesos.
11:35There is nothing we can do but still have to pay for gas.
11:39It is not easy to save fuel.
11:42At least if there is a vehicle, we can travel less.
11:47We don't want that because the price will increase,
11:50it will affect everything we buy, not just the gas.
11:54According to GMA Integrated News Research,
11:57there are already 15 OPH in gasoline this year,
12:00equivalent to almost seven pesos per liter.
12:02In diesel, 13 times of OPH is equivalent to six pesos.
12:07According to the Department of Energy Oil Industry Management Bureau,
12:11the new possible oil price hike
12:14is due to the ongoing tensions in some countries
12:17like Ukraine, Russia and the Middle East.
12:19But aside from the price of oil,
12:22the drivers are also facing another issue,
12:24the PUV modernization.
12:26Earlier, the Senate's response to the committee on public services
12:31regarding the modernization became heated.
12:33The Manibela group is asking to allow them to travel
12:36even if they did not consolidate.
12:38We will catch them.
12:39For most of us, the fine is 10,000 pesos.
12:42For the vehicle, 2,000 pesos.
12:45For his license, a total of 12,000 pesos.
12:48But the Bucina group is asking,
12:50How many extensions or consolidations?
12:53The question is, will he consolidate?
12:55We don't follow everything you say.
12:59And there's only one person who doesn't want to?
13:01It's not true that we don't want to.
13:04The truth is, we already have a modernized vehicle.
13:12We just don't want the consolidation.
13:16The deadline of the government is over,
13:18but only 12% of the local public transport route planning
13:21for the PUV modernization has been completed.
13:24The question is, why is the local government planning the route?
13:28The mayor is doing business.
13:31The route will be given to the families.
13:37So let's not totally give the route modernization to the LGU.
13:42The government of a local government unit
13:45is the one who knows the route better.
13:48For GMA Integrated News,
13:50Jamie Santos is your witness.
