00:00The Bureau of Immigration and NBI, which is in charge of national security, is considered
00:18to have a lot of foreigners who have a pecking birth certificate and other documents.
00:23The last two BIs are copying the answer of suspended Bantarlak Mayor Alice Guo.
00:31Darlene Cai has the first news.
00:33Some senators asked about some details of her personality.
00:37The answer is that some foreigners who are caught by the Bureau of Immigration
00:43with a pecking birth certificate are also using it.
00:45Like the last two BIs caught in Naia Terminal 3 on July 10.
00:49One of them was arrested in Paliparan.
00:53She claimed that she was homeschooled.
00:55That's why she has no records of her childhood.
00:59The other one, she forgot what happened to her childhood.
01:03Her last siblings, she's not sure what their names are.
01:07According to the BI, this is a sign that their documents were only doctored.
01:11There are also foreign nationals who have a pecking birth certificate
01:15who are used to answering, so it's harder for them to detect.
01:19They review their answers.
01:21They've been using that identity for a long time.
01:25Since 2019, the BI has caught 14 Banyagang with pecking birth certificates
01:31and other important documents such as passports.
01:34There are a lot who just want to live here permanently
01:39but I guess they're working in shortcuts in getting their citizenship.
01:43For the Bureau of Immigration and the National Bureau of Investigation or NBI,
01:47this is a clear threat to national security.
01:50After the NBI discovered the 200 birth certificates
01:54that were initiated by the local civil registry of Santa Cruz, Davao del Sur,
01:58most of the pecking birth certificates are Chinese.
02:02If a foreign national has a Philippine birth certificate,
02:05she's considered Filipino, so she might be lost in the BI's radar.
02:10According to the Philippine Statistics Authority,
02:12local government units are the ones who have jurisdiction
02:15and are in charge of the local civil registry
02:18where they apply to get a birth certificate.
02:21Even so, they are already helping in the investigation.
02:24In the fact-finding investigation, we go to the barangays
02:30where the birth certificate is declared.
02:35When we determined that we have the sufficient evidence
02:41to file a case, then that's the time that we will endorse it
02:46to the Office of the Solicitor General for the petition,
02:49filing of the petition of cancellation of birth certificate.
02:52Some congressmen wanted the camera to investigate the incident.
02:56Senate Minority Leader Coco Pimentel said
02:59that the law should be strengthened in addition to the late registration.
03:02This is the first news.
03:04Darlene Cai for GMA Integrated News.
03:08The Senate Sergeant-at-Arms is continuously looking for
03:11the suspended Bantarlac Mayor Alice Guo
03:13and the other six who were cited in contempt
03:15because the Senate hearing was snubbed several times.
03:18We will discuss that later.
03:20The lawyer of Mayor Guo is Attorney Stephen David.
03:23Good morning, Attorney. This is Maris.
03:25Let's go live to the first news.
03:27Good morning, Maris. Good morning.
03:29First of all, is Mayor Guo going to attend the Senate hearing?
03:33There is an order to arrest him.
03:36Well, actually, that's what I've been advising him for a long time.
03:39I always remind him because there is a consequence.
03:42If you can't attend the hearing, he will be fined.
03:47The problem is, he always tells me about his physical and emotional conditions.
03:52He is traumatized by the Senate hearings.
03:57Didn't he go to the doctor? Did he go to the medical?
04:04Well, it's not just for one day.
04:09The stress is getting worse.
04:12There are a lot of new events that are detrimental to him.
04:19For example, you were issued a warrant.
04:21You were exposed to the public about your AMLA accounts.
04:27The stress level doesn't go down.
04:30It's getting worse because of what he's doing to the public.
04:34So in other words, he's afraid to face the public.
04:37Most likely, that's what I personally believe.
04:41Because of recent developments, he became more traumatized, worried, and scared.
04:51So in other words, he's not yet medically cleared to face a hearing like this Senate hearing?
05:00What you're talking about is medical clearance.
05:03Of course, a medical practitioner will say that.
05:06When you talk to her attorney?
05:09She said that she's really scared and traumatized by the Senate investigation.
05:17Her anxiety attack and emotional problems are getting worse in recent developments.
05:28I understand. You talked to him.
05:32Did he mention where he is? Do you know where he is?
05:36When was the last time you talked to him?
05:39I talked to him yesterday, but I don't know where he is.
05:44But he's 100 percent in the Philippines. That's what he told me.
05:48You also mentioned earlier that you always tell him to face the Senate hearing.
05:57Especially now that the Supreme Court hasn't issued the TRO that you're asking for.
06:04You know, hiding is risky. It's a waste of life if you hide.
06:10The problem here is that if he appears in the Senate, he will just speak.
06:15If he's done questioning, there will be no arrest order. He can go home.
06:22The problem is, I'm just worried on the legal point of view.
06:29Because of the number of cases they filed against him, criminal and civil,
06:35the right against self-incrimination is already affected.
06:41He will no longer be an effective resource person.
06:44Remember, that's why he was arrested, not because he's an accused.
06:47Because he's a resource person who didn't attend the hearing.
06:51Go ahead sir.
06:53What is his effectiveness if he can't speak because he has a constitutional right against self-incrimination?
07:03That's what I'm worried about.
07:06So in other words, what you're saying now that he will no longer be an effective resource speaker
07:12because of what he's feeling, he's really traumatized.
07:16It will outweigh the legal implications for not attending the Senate hearing?
07:21That's what I'm saying. He will not be effective because any question that may be asked about what he knows,
07:29his right against self-incrimination is affected because he has criminal cases in the Ombudsman and DOJ.
07:37I don't know if there are others. But right now, that's what we're facing.
07:45So my point is, if you're going to speak, your right against self-incrimination,
07:52anything you say may be used against you in the court of law.
07:57So what can you ask him so that he won't be self-incriminated?
08:02That's it. How can she be an effective resource person with that kind of development?
08:09So that means you're also advising him not to attend.
08:13No. I can't advise him.
08:16Because you're advising him that whatever he says will be self-incriminating.
08:21No. I have to advise her on the effect of what he's saying. That's a legal implication.
08:29Of course, that's why there's a lawyer. It's not like I'm advising him to violate the law.
08:36You give him a scenario and then you explain what can happen and what is the legal implication.
08:43Okay. I understand.
08:45But for me, my advice is you attend.
08:50Because if they ask you a question, you can always invoke your right against self-incrimination.
08:59I am not advising him not to attend.
09:01You can attend but don't answer the incriminating questions.
09:05That's what I'm saying.
09:06That's why I'm saying that he's not effective as a resource person.
09:14Because if he's there, if he asks a question, she can always invoke her right against self-incrimination.
09:22So how can she help the Senate committee to pass a law if that's the outcome of her inquiry?
09:34That's what I'm saying.
09:35But right now, as we speak Attorney, what will be the legal implications if he continues not to appear in the Senate hearing,
09:43aside from the order to arrest him?
09:46If he's found, he will be taken to the Senate where he will be questioned.
09:53The problem is, if he will be questioned, that's it.
09:57Because this is like the previous Senate investigations.
10:03If their Senate year is over, they have a term, that's it.
10:14They have a term.
10:15If their Senate year is over and their investigation is over, that's it.
10:21That warrant is no longer valid.
10:23Attorney, once and for all, is Mayor Goh still here in the Philippines?
10:27Of course. Why wouldn't I believe him? He's a 100 percent assurance.
10:35He told me, how can he go out of the Philippines?
10:38He has a lookout order and our airports are tight.
10:43I don't want to insult our immigration that they can let a person in.
10:50All right. Thank you very much for your time and for the information you gave us, Attorney Stephen David,
10:56lawyer of Mayor Alice Goh.
11:00Authorities in America have released the footage of the gunman in the assassination attempt on former US President Donald Trump.
11:07US President Joe Biden also ordered to investigate if there was a lack of security in Trump's campaign rally.
11:14Here is the first news.
11:18Former US President Donald Trump visited the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in America,
11:25where he was formally nominated for the US presidential elections,
11:29despite the assassination attempt on him in a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania last Saturday.
11:35If you want to really see something that's said, take a look at what happened.
11:43Trump was injured in his right ear and earlobe.
11:46Trump is now out of the hospital and in New Jersey.
11:49Trump said in his truth social account that the bullet hit his right earlobe.
11:54The gunman was killed by the authorities.
11:56He was identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks, a resident of Pennsylvania and a registered Republican based on state voter records.
12:02The US Secret Service is now investigating the incident.
12:06According to some reports, some people saw the gunman in the Trump rally,
12:10who moved his gun and immediately shot the armed officers around him.
12:14But the snipers who watched him were not immediately noticed.
12:17The authorities are still investigating the motive of the gunman.
12:20According to the US Secret Service, aside from the gunman, a spectator was injured and there are two critical cases.
12:26US President Joe Biden and Trump have already talked about the incident.
12:31There's no place in America for this kind of violence.
12:34It's one of the reasons why we have to unite this country.
12:36We cannot allow for this to be happening.
12:39Former US President Barack Obama also made the same statement.
12:42Former US President Barack Obama is one of the other world leaders in condemning the so-called political violence in America.
12:49Former US First Lady Melania called the gunman a monster.
12:54The Oversight Committee of the US House of Representatives will hold a hearing on July 22.
13:00He was already called to shoot and the Director of the US Secret Service was already called.
13:04Biden also ordered to investigate if there is a lack of security.
13:08Trump and Biden will face each other again for the US election 2024 in November.
13:13This is the first news. Jomer Apresto for GMA Integrated News.
13:19The authorities arrested several motorists in Santa Maria, Bulacan.
13:22Even though they are private vehicles, these passengers are driving and asking for money.
13:27We have live news. James Agustin.
13:30James, that's not a color room.
13:33Van, good morning. Four motorists entered the color room.
13:38They were the ones who were arrested by the operatives of SAIC in their operation here in Santa Maria, Bulacan.
13:44One of the people who were arrested was chased away after the driver ran away.
13:49The Special Action Intelligence Committee of Transportation or SAIC arrested several private vehicles
13:56that were driving and asking for passengers in Santa Maria Bypass Road here in Bulacan.
14:00SAIC received information that each passenger is being paid P100 per trip to Balintawak, Muñoz or SM North.
14:08Two cars and an AUV with passengers were immediately arrested because this is considered a color room.
14:14The last one was also a TNVS driver but no one was booked in his app.
14:19The vehicles were impounded.
14:21The driver obtained a license and initiated a temporary operator's permit or TOP.
14:26Meanwhile, an L300 van suddenly returned when SAIC was seen.
14:31The vehicle was impounded so the operatives chased it.
14:33The chase reached the barangay Poblacion.
14:36Two tricycles were hit by the L300 van and one tricycle driver was injured.
14:41Twelve passengers were in the L300 van according to SAIC.
14:44Here is the statement of SAIC and several drivers who were arrested.
14:47This is the statement of the driver.
15:17First of all, the insurance of our passengers will be compromised.
15:24Second, the owner, we don't know them, they are not franchise holders.
15:29So, they will also have a problem when it comes to the compensation of the owner of the vehicle.
15:35Meanwhile, Ivan, here in this part of the barangay Poblacion, here in Santa Maria Bulacan,
15:39this is where the chase ended.
15:41As you can see, those are the tricycles that were hit by the L300 van.
15:45According to SAIC, the police are still waiting here from Santa Maria PNP to investigate this
15:52because the L300 van driver is facing multiple complaints.
15:57One person was injured here.
15:59The operation of SAIC continues here in Santa Maria Bulacan.
16:01The fine is from Php 120,000 to Php 200,000 for those who will be arrested.
16:08That's all for now. From here in Bulacan, I'm James Agustin for Joyma Integrated News.
16:14Suspended Mayor Alice Guo has not yet been found guilty of arrest by the Senate
16:20because of her non-compliance with the regulations pertaining to the Pogo Hub in Bamban, Tarlac.
16:24In our interview earlier with the lawyer of Mayor Guo, Atty. Stephen David,
16:28he said that his client is still in the Philippines.
16:32The Senate accountant of Guo, Nancy Gamo, is now in custody.
16:36Here's the latest from Jonathan Andad.
16:41Nancy Gamo, the accountant of suspended Bamban, Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo, is now in custody.
16:47She was caught by the Senate Osa'a or Office of Sergeants at Arms in her address in Caloocan City.
16:53She was the only one who was caught in the eight arrests of the Senate that were snubbed in relation to the Pogo Hub.
16:59Guo was not allowed to cross her farm in Bamban.
17:03Her siblings were also not seen in their list of addresses in a fabric factory in Valenzuela.
17:22Their parents, Wen Yidlin and John Zongo, were also not seen.
17:28Dennis Cunanan, the former official of the government who was found guilty in the PEDAF scam,
17:33became an independent consultant to the Pogo men in Bamban and Porac.
17:38Although according to Cunanan's lawyer, he will be transferred to the next hearing.
17:42Senate Minority Leader Coco Pimentel said,
17:44Guo can resign from the Senate.
17:47Yes ma'am, so that she will lose her contempt.
17:50Otherwise, if she doesn't want to, she will be brought to the Senate.
17:54We have seen the reaction of Campo Ni Guo, but his lawyers have no evidence.
17:58Campo Ni Guo has a petition to the Supreme Court to stop the Senate from inviting her to the hearings.
18:03But Pimentel said that as long as there is no temporary restraining order from the court,
18:07Guo should attend the hearings.
18:10If the court has no order in favor of the petitioner, you should obey the Senate's order to attend.
18:21You can use any answer against you in a criminal proceeding.
18:25You should not invoke a right against self-incrimination on a per-question basis.
18:30His lawyers already know that.
18:32What happened to Mayor Alice Guo, she already has a problem with substantive law.
18:40She will add procedural law.
18:43This is a procedural problem, not attending.
18:47According to the arrest order, if Guo and others are caught,
18:51they will be imprisoned in the Senate until they face the next hearing on July 29.
18:56It was also stated in the July 29 hearing,
18:59the 18 individuals who were involved with the pogos in Bamban, Tarlac and Porac, Pampanga,
19:05including Alberto Rodolfo A.R. de la Serna,
19:08executive assistant of the former presidential spokesperson Harry Roque,
19:13that the appointment papers were discovered by the authorities in the pogo hub in Porac.
19:17Here is the first news. Jonathan Andal for GMA Integrated News.
19:23Rice vendors favor nationwide monitoring of the price of rice.
19:28Importers and suppliers should monitor this well.
19:32Live from Quezon City, we have the first news. EJ Gomez, EJ.
19:36Susan, the Trade and Industry Department of Nationwide Rice Price Monitoring launched
19:47to assess the effect of the price of rice on the entire supply chain,
19:53from importers to retailers.
19:55This is good news for some rice vendors and buyers
20:00that we talked to here in Kamuning Market in Quezon City.
20:07Jane's family has been selling rice for more than three decades in Kamuning Market in Quezon City.
20:13They started when the price of rice was only Php12 per kilo,
20:17and now it's Php60 or more.
20:20As a vendor, they can't do anything whenever the price of rice rises.
20:25That's why they favor monitoring of the price from importers and suppliers.
20:31We are forced to raise the price.
20:35If the price is high, we lower it.
20:38Our suppliers should be the ones who make sure that we are not sold.
20:45The government launched the Nationwide Rice Price Monitoring
20:49to assess the effect of the price of rice on the entire supply chain,
20:55from importers to retailers.
20:58The Department of Trade and Industry and Department of Agriculture
21:01will monitor the price of rice in retail markets, grocery stores, and wet markets.
21:07According to DTI, they will be strict in monitoring and assessing.
21:11The information they will get will help rice producers
21:15to make sure that the rice supply is sufficient.
21:18That's what the government should do, said Lucy,
21:22who bought 10 kilos of rice per day for her canteen.
21:26It's better because the price of rice is rising.
21:32We also need low-priced vendors.
21:37We are having a hard time budgeting.
21:40If the price of rice is high, the price of vegetables is also high.
21:43Everything is rising, including meat.
21:46Jane, a rice retailer, said
21:49The price of rice should be lowered,
21:52just like before, when we can choose the price.
21:57So that we can also sell, so that our income does not rise.
22:03According to the rice vendors we talked to,
22:08their supply is okay.
22:11They can sell 50 to 55 pesos per kilo.
22:16There are also some who are discarding,
22:19mixing in a premium or higher price
22:24so that the quality or taste is still okay when it's cooked.
22:30That's the first news from Camunding, Quezon City,
22:34Eze Gomez for GMA Integrated News.
