00:30a 20-year-old man, according to Superadio DCBB,
00:34is being investigated for a burn injury.
00:40And moreover,
00:41a washing machine is being used to season
00:45the unregistered vitamins in Aray and Pampanga.
00:49And in NBI, aside from Metro Manila and Central Luzon,
00:52the products in Visayas and Mindanao are also available.
00:57Witness, John Consulta.
01:10The operatives of NBI Central Luzon Regional Office 3
01:14occupied this house in Aray and Pampanga.
01:16We also have a separate room for the FDA.
01:22This is where the pegging of vitamin C syrups for the kids was done.
01:27The repacking of unregistered medicines
01:30in the Food and Drug Administration or FDA was also carried out.
01:33Even the raw materials used were unregistered.
01:37Authorities were also discovered.
01:39One of the surprising agents of the raid
01:42is that they discovered that those raw materials
01:45such as sugar, food coloring, and food flavoring
01:48were mixed here in this washing machine.
01:54All of these were put in a washing machine
01:57to be mixed together.
01:59Then they were put in bottles like this.
02:03According to NBI, aside from Central Luzon and Metro Manila,
02:09their counterfeit vitamin C syrups
02:13were also found in the provinces of Visayas and Mindanao.
02:19The operation was stopped after a former employee complained.
02:23What they are doing is very unsanitary.
02:25The contents are unregistered.
02:29Only flavoring, color flavoring, and sugar.
02:34That's all.
02:35There is no vitamin that can be obtained from this.
02:37This is for children.
02:38Children get sick easily.
02:40Their immune system is weak.
02:42They expect to get this vitamin C.
02:46But they don't.
02:47Almost P400,000 worth of bottled fake vitamin C syrup
02:51was confiscated.
02:52The owner of the factory, who has been operating for almost 20 years,
02:55was arrested.
02:57We are still trying to get him released.
03:00At first, they copied the original
03:02that is made of registered vitamin C.
03:05As time went by,
03:07they changed the brand to your name again
03:09to differentiate them.
03:10We sued them.
03:11We inquested them for violation of Republic Act 9711,
03:15the Drug Unforged Administration Act of 2009.
03:18NBI reminds the public
03:20to buy from an accredited drugstore.
03:23For GMA Integrated News,
03:25I am John Consulta,
03:27your witness.
03:30The government of the Land Transportation Office
03:32to Senate President Chisa Escudero
03:34denied the license plate of the SUV
03:37that entered the EDSA bus lane.
03:39The owner of the vehicle
03:42that the enforcer stole
03:44is facing charges.
03:45Witness, Oscar Oida.
03:49Sir,
03:50just for a moment.
03:52Just for a moment, sir.
03:53You're blocking the road.
03:55Just for a moment.
03:56At 7 p.m.,
03:58the SUV was spotted
04:00entering the northbound lane of the EDSA carousel
04:03at Guadalupe, Makati.
04:05But instead of stopping,
04:07the SUV even hit the enforcer.
04:10Just for a moment.
04:12Sir, we're just verifying you.
04:14Sir.
04:16Sir, my license.
04:17My driver's license.
04:22Until it slowly moved back.
04:25As the vehicle moved back,
04:27the enforcer pulled out his hand from the window.
04:31The face of one of the passengers was also seen.
04:35When it reached the part without a barrier,
04:38it continued to fly away.
04:41Oh, you can see it.
04:42It's behind.
04:44Just let it go.
04:45Let it go.
04:47This video was posted by the Special Action and Intelligence Committee
04:52or SAIC
04:53of the Department of Transportation.
04:55The number 7 plate of the vehicle
04:57is a protocol plate
04:59that is given to the Senators.
05:02SAIC is now finding out
05:04who owns the vehicle.
05:06The enforcer also did not see
05:08a Senator driving the SUV.
05:11Our enforcers just don't want to let it go.
05:14It's just a job.
05:16We saw it in the video.
05:21But in your observation of the plate,
05:24is it authentic?
05:26Or is it fake?
05:28It looks like a real 7.
05:32The DOTR is now tracing
05:34the registered owner of the SUV
05:36to the Land Transportation Office or LTO.
05:39Senate President Chiz Escudero
05:41asked the LTO
05:43to identify the driver of the vehicle
05:46and find out if the owner is a Senator.
05:50Hopefully,
05:51the driver will be able to face the Senator.
05:55They just need to present themselves,
05:57pay a fine,
05:59and if there is a violation of the protocol plate,
06:02the protocol plate will be surrendered.
06:04Based on the DOTR's track record,
06:06aside from the buses operating in EDSA carousel,
06:10only the five highest officials of the government
06:13are allowed to pass through the busway.
06:16Responding emergency vehicles can also pass through.
06:20According to the LTO,
06:22there is no plate No. 7
06:24that initiates such a model of SUV.
06:27It will immediately call the owner
06:30and its driver at the appointed time.
06:33The LTO also confirmed
06:35to Senate President Escudero
06:37that the plate used by the SUV is fake.
06:40They said that the plate of the SUV has no security feature
06:43that should be present
06:45in small plates for the Senator.
06:47The plate No. 7 is also used
06:50in the back and front of the vehicle.
06:53But it should also be pointed out
06:55that the owner of the vehicle
06:57is responsible for violating the law.
07:00For GMA Integrated News,
07:02I am Oscar Oidanginyong.
07:04Saksi!
07:07It is possible that the storm Marse
07:09will become stronger in the next few days.
07:11According to the latest forecast track,
07:13on Thursday night or Friday morning,
07:15there is a chance for landfall
07:17in Babuyan Islands or mainland Northern Cagayan.
07:20But it can also spread to Cagayan or Isabela.
07:24For now, it is possible to feel the effect of a trough
07:27or the end of the storm Marse
07:29in the eastern portions of Luzon and Visayas.
07:31In other words, for tonight or tomorrow morning,
07:33there will be a wind signal
07:35that is possible to reach the signal No. 4
07:37as it approaches the land.
07:41Based on the data of Metro Weather,
07:43tomorrow morning, there will be rainfalls
07:45in Cagayan Valley, Cordillera,
07:47Isabela, Quezon, Bicol Region,
07:49Palawan, and Mindoro Provinces.
07:52By afternoon, it is also possible
07:54for Central Luzon,
07:56other parts of Calabar Zone, and Mimaropa to experience rain.
07:58There will also be rainfalls in some parts
08:00of Paray Island, Negros Provinces,
08:02Central and Eastern Visayas,
08:04as well as some areas in Mindanao
08:06due to thunderstorms.
08:08There will also be rainfalls in Metro Manila tomorrow,
08:10especially in the afternoon or evening.
08:17Before the weather forecast,
08:19there is still no rainfall in some parts of Laguna
08:21after the storm Kristina
08:23and the storm Leon.
08:25In one barangay, it has been raining for two weeks
08:27and the number of thunderstorms
08:29has reached more than 1,000.
08:32From San Pedro, Laguna,
08:34Saksi Live, Niko Wahe.
08:39It will be a month
08:41before the rain falls
08:43in the areas near Manila,
08:45Laguna, and Divay.
08:47Many residents
08:49are already sick
08:51and there are also high cases
08:53of measles and dengue
08:55like here in a barangay
08:57in San Pedro, Laguna.
09:02A few days later,
09:04after the storm Kristina and the storm Leon,
09:06there is still rain in some areas
09:08of Laguna,
09:10especially in the areas near Laguna Divay.
09:12Here in Barangay Landayan in San Pedro,
09:14it has been raining for two weeks.
09:16The water is already black
09:18and smelly.
09:20The garbage and dirt
09:22is also mixed.
09:24Luz's house already has a roof
09:26so that her family won't get wet
09:28in the rain.
09:30Their beds are also wet.
09:32Our house
09:34is already smelly.
09:36Sometimes, we have to clean it.
09:38It's already smelly.
09:40They've been here for a long time
09:42and they don't plan to leave.
09:44It's hard to buy a house here.
09:46It's too expensive.
09:48We can't afford to buy a house
09:50because I'm just a planter.
09:52In this part of Barangay Landayan,
09:54this raft is already being used
09:56because until now,
09:58the situation is still the same.
10:00The rain is still heavy.
10:02It still reaches Baywang.
10:04The residents
10:06won't leave because
10:08they're used to it.
10:10Joanne's family,
10:12even though they're used to it,
10:14is still having a hard time in this situation.
10:16The children here are also hurt
10:18because of the rain.
10:20Their ears hurt.
10:22They're also having a hard time
10:24going to work.
10:26It's hard to go to work
10:28because of the rain.
10:30Other residents are also having a hard time.
10:32It's been 5 days already.
10:34Even though there's a rope
10:36that the residents are using,
10:38there's still a part of the raft
10:40that needs to be washed.
10:42According to Barangay Landayan,
10:44there are more than 1,200 cases of alipunga here.
10:46It needs to be washed.
10:48It needs to be delivered.
10:50Maybe it's because of the water.
10:52The water is black.
10:54There's no rope in our house.
10:56It's just that
10:58our feet are caught in the water.
11:00There are more than 20 cases
11:02of alipunga in the barangay.
11:04We're next to the river.
11:06Until now,
11:08we've experienced water
11:10in our neighborhood
11:12next to the river.
11:14It's because
11:16our area is low.
11:18That's why the water stops.
11:20The water reached us in December.
11:22According to San Pedro LGU,
11:24Laguna Lake is too silted
11:26so that it can't receive water.
11:28There are too many puddles
11:30under the lake.
11:32So when it rains,
11:34it doesn't sink.
11:36Is there a solution to this problem?
11:38Our waterways
11:40are continuously
11:42declogging,
11:44desilting,
11:46and putting
11:48slow protection
11:50and retaining walls, flood control projects
11:52so that the water
11:54that rains on us
11:56and comes from the upper areas
11:58goes straight to Laguna de Day.
12:00San Pedro's LGU is also
12:02talking to Binan's LGU
12:04and Muntinlupa's LGU
12:06to help solve the slow
12:08flooding, especially in lakes
12:10or barangays.
12:14More than
12:16100 families
12:18remain in evacuation centers
12:20here in Barangay Landayan.
12:22The biggest problem
12:24is that no one can rest
12:26in their homes.
12:28They don't know
12:30when they will return.
12:32Live from San Pedro, Laguna,
12:34for JMEI Integrated News,
12:36I'm Nico Jae, your witness.
