00:00This is the first news of the day.
00:10Due to various issues in Pogo, the operation in Iloilo City was banned.
00:19It was shown on the camera that they were being tortured in a faraway place in Gip, Pogo.
00:25This is the first news of the day.
00:33Despite being beaten up, the woman was still tortured.
00:37She was suspected of being a scapegoat to report to the authorities.
00:41One of the women was electrocuted while posing in the bed frame.
00:46This man was hit on the head.
00:49He was supposed to be saved but he was not saved by the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission or PAOC.
00:56The videos of the torture were shown on the camera about the Pogos.
01:02They were asked if they can show the videos because anyone can watch the live stream.
01:09There are kids who may view these videos.
01:14Testimony and stories is enough.
01:16What we are trying to portray here is the evil of the illegal activities.
01:21It was done by other foreigners in cahoots with Filipinos.
01:27According to several Pagos who were saved by PAOC, they entered the country as tourists.
01:33Then they will get a working visa.
01:36But the Pogos were not allowed to enter the company.
01:40This foreigner was kidnapped and brought to Porac Pogos on June 2 and was saved by PAOC on June 5.
01:48150 foreigners were brought there.
01:51280 were brought by the Pogos in Bamban, including this foreigner.
01:57According to his friend, we will just eat.
02:00He was sold for P300,000 but he did not know.
02:04And these operations have uncovered the extent of criminal activities associated with Pogos.
02:10From serving as a hub for human trafficking to engaging in crimes and cyber crimes like
02:18lab scams, loan scams, kidnappings, prostitution, murders, and NS for international wanted persons.
02:27Scam farms in other countries are almost the same.
02:31Like in Myanmar, where a Filipino was saved.
02:35The first child was encoded to him.
02:37But when he got there, he became a scammer.
02:40Will you chat with him?
02:42You will convince him to invest?
02:46Yes, to invest.
02:47Or this is what you call a lab scam?
02:49Yes.
02:50Are you a torturer?
02:51Yes.
02:52If you go home, you will pay P7,000.
02:56More than 400 Pogos and scam farms in the country were submitted to the committee.
03:02Only 45 Pogos were licensed in the country, according to the Pag Corps.
03:06Three were suspended.
03:08The Pag Corps has a hard time fighting illegal gambling because of online influencers.
03:14They use platforms such as Facebook, TikTok, YouTube to encourage prospective players to try their luck.
03:24Many young people can play on these illegal platforms.
03:31The licenses of Pogos or IGLs have been used to create a veneer of legality for their illegal activity.
03:38Some Pogos will continue to operate despite the ban.
03:41If there will be a ban, we will continue to operate against these illegal Pogos.
03:47The Iloilo Council passed a resolution banning the operation of Pogos in Lungson.
03:53Last week, Executive Order Mayor Jerry Trenas issued a ban on Pogos.
04:00Aside from Iloilo City, several LGUs have also banned Pogos in their area.
04:06The DILG met with the mayors to talk about Pogos.
04:12All registered businesses, I will legalize them one by one.
04:18The various business groups in the country supported the recommendation of the finance secretary and NEDA chief to ban Pogos.
04:27In addition to the Pogos issues, a resolution was also passed in the House of Representatives
04:32to investigate the issuance of Peking birth certificates and passports abroad.
04:39This is the first news. Tina Panganiban-Perez for GMA Integrated News.
04:44Vice President Sara Duterte did not joke or blame herself as a designated survivor.
04:54I just saw Vice President Duterte asking for her attendance.
05:03This is not a joke. This is not a bomb threat.
05:11I think many missed the point.
05:16For me, if you didn't answer the first time, I don't think you deserve an explanation.
05:23Vice President Duterte blamed herself as a designated survivor
05:28for not attending the State of the Nation address of the President on Monday.
05:33In America, the designated survivor is officially not allowed to attend important meetings
05:39where the President and others are on the line of succession.
05:43There is no such concept in the Philippines.
05:45First, the House Secretary General and the PNP said that they are not monitoring the area.
05:51The Vice President assured that the transition to the Department of Education
05:56will be smooth for the incoming Secretary, Sunny Angara.
05:59The Vice President and Angara will assist in the turnover ceremony today.
06:06A resolution was passed in the House of Representatives to have designated survivors in the Philippines.
06:12Under the resolution, there are three situations when designated survivors will be used.
06:17First, the designated survivor will be the Vice President
06:20and the Vice President will be the Acting President.
06:24Second, the designated survivor will be the Vice President
06:29and the Senate President or House Speaker will be the Acting President
06:34because of the line of succession.
06:36Lastly, the caretaker of the Executive Branch will be the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
06:41even if the President and the Vice President can no longer work or die
06:46before the Senate President and the House Speaker are appointed.
06:49Former Senator Panfilo Lakson has been accused of being a designated survivor.
06:55The action-packed finale week of the GMA Prime series, Black Rider, is approaching.
07:00Join us for some revelations.
07:02Some beloved characters will return.
07:05One of them is Romana, played by Katrina Halili.
07:09She's happy to be with Elias in the final battle.
07:13The other character is the action-packed drama prince, Guru Madrid.
07:18Mariano, played by the veteran action star, Philip Salvador, will return
07:23who gave Elias a lot of advice.
07:26Wait for Vanessa's father, played by Yassie Pressman.
07:31Don't miss out on the heroic finale of Black Rider.
07:38Who's the father?
07:40No, it's Jisoo.
07:42Actually, you don't know yet.
07:44We don't know who the father is yet.
07:48But let's just wait.
07:49That's what we should be waiting for because there's another DNA test.
07:53There are also revisions happening to our scripts.
07:57I've already read the script, but sometimes there are revisions.
08:00I think the most exciting part is the rise and fall of the story of the characters.
08:06And the way we portray the lives of Filipinos.
08:13A nurse at the National Kidney and Transplant Institute
08:16who is the mastermind of the Kidney For Sale Syndicate, will be rejected.
08:22We called a meeting, the executive committee,
08:25with her, we called her,
08:28to find out from her if what she said was true.
08:34What she said was not true.
08:37The NKTI clarified that they are not accusing a head nurse,
08:42but a staff nurse who has been working for them for more than 20 years.
08:47This Tuesday, the suspects who were arrested were identified as a nurse.
08:51They are the nurses who facilitated their operation
08:54and they were also included in the search for a transplant donor.
08:58They have been with the nurse for weeks.
09:00The National Bureau of Investigation will appoint three doctors
09:05who operate on kidney or stone sellers.
09:08The Department of Health is waiting for the results of the investigation conducted by the NKTI.
09:17If the doctor has knowledge about the syndicate, he will answer.
09:21But if it's a patient and there's a donor,
09:28and the doctor has no knowledge, he's in good faith.
09:31He's just performing his job.
09:38The syndicates are taking advantage of the poverty of Filipinos
09:41when it comes to kidney or stone sellers,
09:43said NBI Director Jaime Santiago.
09:46According to the National Kidney and Transplant Institute,
09:49it's not for everyone, especially when it comes to the cost of transplantation.
09:54We have first news, Maki Pulidos.
09:59For Joy's 23-year-old son to live long, he needs a kidney transplant.
10:04He's already in stage 5.
10:06His kidney is no longer functioning.
10:10It's been a long time.
10:12Last year, Joy asked the National Kidney and Transplant Institute or NKTI
10:18how to get a kidney transplant for her son.
10:21But before the process starts, she needs P600,000 as show money.
10:26She can't even afford to buy food.
10:29That's why until now, her son is on dialysis.
10:32I can't find a job at night.
10:35If there's no one in the bar, I can't earn money.
10:38Sometimes, we don't have enough to eat.
10:40We have to build a house.
10:42Now, I can't pay the electricity bill.
10:45I can't pay my son's utility bill.
10:47I stopped paying my son's utility bill.
10:49Because it's running out.
10:54The NKTI admitted that the transplant needs money.
10:58The NKTI's kidney transplant costs P1.2 million.
11:02But PhilHealth can pay for half of it.
11:05The medicine costs P30,000 per month.
11:09The NKTI also asked PhilHealth to help with the anti-rejection medicine.
11:15Kidney transplant is not for everybody.
11:17Because you have to have medicines.
11:20You have to maintain those medicines for the rest of your life.
11:24So that you won't reject the kidney.
11:26It's like show money.
11:28It's in their bank account.
11:29It's just an assurance.
11:31I hope they can subsidize their medicine.
11:33At least for the first six months post-transplant.
11:37Even if there's money to pay for the kidney transplant,
11:41there's no queue if you have a donor.
11:43If there's no living donor, the wait can be long.
11:46One of their patients has been waiting for six years
11:49to have a kidney donor.
11:51There's a path on the waiting list of Human Organ Preservation Effort or HOPE.
11:55That's why they hope more people will register as organ donors.
11:59This is also a solution to avoid kidney sales.
12:03If you carry the organ donor card,
12:05sign it.
12:07It's also on the back of your driver's license.
12:10In case anything happens to you,
12:13and you're brain dead,
12:17but your organs are still functioning,
12:19let's donate all of our organs.
12:22So that those with kidney failure, lung failure, heart failure, liver failure,
12:28they can have a new life.
12:30In the middle of the news,
12:31the kidney sales of NKTI are strict.
12:35And I hope it's the same in other hospitals.
12:38For non-related donors,
12:40the donor and recipient should have an emotional or social relationship.
12:46They are undergoing a psychiatric evaluation.
12:49We have a hospital transplant ethics committee.
12:52We also have the head of our social worker as part of that committee.
12:58Then they will interview the donor.
13:02They will talk to the barangay captain.
13:04This is the first news.
13:06Mackie Pulido for JMA Integrated News.
13:09Following the incidents in the West Philippine Sea,
13:12it's time for the Philippines to enter into a new arbitration case.
13:16According to the retired Supreme Court Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio,
13:21in the middle of the Philippines and U.S. Coast Guard sailing in Lubang Island,
13:25two large ships of China were spotted.
13:27We have the first news from Chino Gaston.
13:33In spite of the water cannon,
13:35this rubber boat continued to sail.
13:37But this is not a new incident of harassment in the West Philippine Sea.
13:41It is part of the practice of the Philippine Coast Guard and U.S. Coast Guard
13:45near Lubang Island in Occidental, Mindoro.
13:52Search and Rescue and Medical Evacuation is the main focus of the practice.
13:57Where the U.S. CG Cutter Ways is located.
14:01And one of the largest ships of the PCG, BRP Melchorra Aquino.
14:06While the practice is underway,
14:08the China Coast Guard Vessel 5303 approached 15 nautical miles to dock.
14:13In the last monitoring of the PCG, it left towards the direction of Palawan.
14:18It was reported that it came close to Lubang Island at a distance of 16 nautical miles.
14:26So that is also true.
14:28In response to the incursive presence of the Chinese Coast Guard in Lubang Island,
14:35the commandant of the Philippine Coast Guard, Admiral Ron Hilgaban,
14:38has also deployed the BRP Melchorra Aquino.
14:43We showed the flag by deploying our vessel.
14:47And then at the same time, see to it that they are going to depart.
14:51BRP Melchorra Aquino is 97 meters long.
14:54BRP Teresa Magbanwa has been in Sabina or Escoda Shoal for several months.
15:01BRP Teresa Magbanwa is 600 meters away from the China Coast Guard's monster ship.
15:07So I would like to confirm the last image that I got from our Coast Guard personnel from 9701.
15:15The China Coast Guard monster ship remains to be inside the Escoda Shoal.
15:20It never departed and still anchored there.
15:23We also periodically challenged them over the radio,
15:28calling them out and telling them that they are within our exclusive economic zone
15:33and that they have to tell us what is their intention.
15:38China previously said that their ship is still anchored in Escoda
15:42because the Philippines' outpost is being built there.
15:46According to retired Supreme Court Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio,
15:50it is time for a new arbitration case to be filed against UNCLOS
15:54after China opposed the Philippines' request for an extended continental shelf in the West Philippine Sea.
16:01Joint patrols are one of the strongest enforcement measures of the arbitral award.
16:12They are telling China, we can conduct these naval drills, aerial drills,
16:18because these waters constitute the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines
16:24in accordance with the arbitral award.
16:26In the exclusive economic zone under UNCLOS, that is the strongest enforcement so far.
16:32Eight years since the arbitral award was issued in 2016, it is still not recognized by China.
16:38One of the ways to strengthen it is the Philippine Maritime Zones Bill,
16:44which was signed by the President.
16:47It will strengthen the limits of the Philippine Maritime Zones
16:51and the rights of the country within it.
16:54We included the Philippine Maritime Zones in the Palawan and the Philippine Rise.
16:58Our rights and boundaries are clear.
17:02It is clear that we have a law where we can sail and fish.
17:08With that act, we're also now laying the groundwork
17:13for improving our law enforcement within these maritime zones.
17:19China has always opposed the so-called arbitral award
17:22because it is included in the agreement between Panatagshol and Spratlys.
17:27The Chinese Foreign Ministry said that they support direct talks between China and the Philippines.
17:34This is in line with the aforementioned arrangement on improving Philippines-China maritime communication mechanisms
17:40that was signed by our Department of Foreign Affairs.
17:43This will be provided in different ways so that the two countries can talk when it comes to maritime issues.
17:50It can be through the so-called leadership of their leaders,
17:54through the DFA and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China
17:58up to the level of the foreign minister and vice foreign minister,
18:01and through their Coast Guard.
18:04The DFA is coordinating with China for its guidelines.
18:08This is the first news. Chino Gaston for GMA Integrated News.
18:13A new wheelchair ramp in Edsa Carousel in Quezon City became viral on social media
18:19because it is said to be dangerous, according to netizens.
18:22Is this against the standards?
18:24This is the first live news of EJ Gomez.
18:27EJ, good morning.
18:31Maris, aside from knowing what the passengers said about this new wheelchair ramp,
18:41I myself tried to get up and down the ramp.
18:49This Monday, this ramp was opened to help passengers with disabilities or PWDs
18:56on their way to the bus station, especially those in wheelchairs.
19:02To PWDs, this is the scene if you will pass through the Philam Station Overpass.
19:15After leaving the elevator, there are a few meters of ramp to help passengers in wheelchairs.
19:21Next is the longer ramp.
19:24If you are in a wheelchair, you need a companion to push you up.
19:36If you are going down, you need to be careful not to go straight.
19:41We are not in a wheelchair right now, but it is dangerous to go down.
19:48You need to hold on to the railings to be safe.
19:56Orlando commented that he passes through the Overpass every day.
20:00It is not safe.
20:02I am the only one who is not in a wheelchair.
20:05It is a bit dangerous.
20:08What's more, if you are in a wheelchair, you need to hold on to the railings.
20:13This is also Danica's opinion.
20:15I am not in a PWD, but it is very slippery.
20:19When we passed through it, it was very slippery.
20:22We tried it.
20:24For PWDs in our country, you need to be careful.
20:27You should always have a companion.
20:29According to the law, the incline of PWD ramps should be only 4.8 degrees.
20:34But when measured using an inclinometer, the difference is almost 10 degrees
20:39because the current ramp will reach 14.15 degrees.
20:44According to the MMDA, the design of the ramp is not perfect,
20:47especially for those in wheelchairs.
20:49But it is still a big help for senior citizens,
20:53Buntis and other PWDs, instead of climbing using a ladder.
21:02Maris, we are still trying to find out who is the actual contractor of this PWD ramp.
21:09Meanwhile, the people on duty at the station said they are ready to assist
21:17or if they need assistance, our fellow PWDs who will pass through the overpass.
21:23According to the MMDA, they will also deploy their people to assist the passengers
21:30who will go to the PhilAng Station.
21:32And that is the first news from Quezon City,
21:35EJ Gomez for GMA Integrated News.
21:40Work is important, but rest is also important.
21:45Here in the Philippines, do you feel the work-life balance?
21:49Let's find out in the first live news of Bea Pinda.
21:52Bea, how is the work-life balance of the people you are talking to?
21:55Let's go.
22:01The Filipinos are very curious about the work-life balance.
22:05According to a study, the conditions of individuals in terms of life and work were assessed.
22:14There are some people who don't respond to the guests.
22:17The single working mom, Devine, seems to be used to her routine of going to work, home, and taking care of the child.
22:25So when I asked her if she can say that she has a work-life balance, she answered,
22:30I'm not sure. I feel like I don't.
22:32Although I'm happy in the company, I'm looking for a job to stay at home.
22:36For her, the work-from-home arrangement will help her
22:39so that she can focus more on her work and as a mother.
22:44Devine is one of the Filipino workers who have not yet achieved their work-life balance.
22:51According to the study of the Human Resource Platform Remote,
22:55the Philippines ranks 59th out of 60 countries when it comes to the issue of work-life balance.
23:00The Philippines' score is only 27.46 out of 100.
23:05The top five are New Zealand, Ireland, Belgium, Denmark, and Canada.
23:12Statutory Annual Leave, Paid Maternity Leave, and Average Hours Work of Employees are also included in the study.
23:20Some of the employees of GMA Integrated News said they are content,
23:25especially with the salary and benefits they receive from their company.
23:29Our company also offers well-being activities for employees,
23:36such as paid leave.
23:39That's why it helps us more.
23:41They give us the right benefits.
23:48They are okay with the salary.
23:59Ivan, our guests say that they are just sleepy and tired.
24:04But despite this, they believe that their work-life balance is just right.
24:10And that's the first news from Quezon City.
24:13Be up in luck for GMA Integrated News.
24:16Authorities caught some people serving shuttle service in Santa Rosa, Laguna, even without documents.
24:22James Agustin has the first live news.
24:25James?
24:29Maris, good morning.
24:31Four vans from Colorum were caught in the operation of shuttle service this morning.
24:35They are here in Santa Rosa, Laguna.
24:37Special Action Intelligence Committee on Transportation, or SAIC, received information
24:42that there are vans traveling as shuttle service without proper documents here in the area.
24:48It is considered as Colorum because there should be a franchise of shuttle service.
24:52The vans that are being driven by employees will be brought to the companies they are serving.
24:57According to the two drivers, they have contracts and documents.
25:02The other two drivers have nothing to say.
25:04The fine is Php 200,000 for the van that will be caught in Colorum.
25:10When we checked the vehicles, we saw that their documents are not correct as shuttle service
25:18because there is a franchise of LTFRB for shuttle service.
25:24It is dangerous because once there is an accident, the passengers are not covered by insurance.
25:35Meanwhile, Maris, four vans were found and they will travel from here in Santa Rosa
25:41to the LTO Central Office in Quezon City.
25:44That is the first news from here in Laguna.
25:46I am James Agustin for GME Integrated News.
25:54Energy was added to It's Showtime with the last guest of the co-hosting,
25:59Pulang Araw star Barbie Forteza.
26:11Energy!
26:13The banter of Barbie with the other hosts is full of good vibes.
26:17In the X specially for you segment,
26:20Barbie told us that her boyfriend Jack Roberto is her first kiss.
26:26Of course!
26:28The first kiss was an accident.
26:30I was about to get out of the car and he was about to maneuver.
26:35I was about to kiss him.
26:38He was looking at the back and we just swiped.
26:44Jack has a great style.
26:46The fun never ends until the so-called school showdown.
