NewsTranscript
00:00A month has passed since the Pogo Hub in Bamban, Tarlac, was discovered by the GMA Integrated News.
00:13While the Pogo in Porac, Pampanga is like a goat pasture and it's getting wet.
00:18The government plans to build abandoned facilities so that it won't be wasted.
00:22This was pointed out in the special report of Salima Refran.
00:25Next operations.
00:31If you didn't lie.
00:35And on the left and right, investigation.
00:37Did you go to the park?
00:39The Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators or POGO will be gone forever.
00:44We need to stop this chaos in our society and strengthen our country.
00:51Effective today, all POGOs are banned.
00:58A few months after the excavation, this is what the Pogo in Bamban, Tarlac, looks like.
01:03The town of the former mayor, Alice Goh, who was involved in the Pogo operations in the country.
01:09The compound is as wide as a ghost town.
01:12The former lively place is now full of grass.
01:17There are also a lot of luxury cars.
01:21Some of them are already flat.
01:24One of the most famous parts of this Baufu compound is their Olympic-sized swimming pool.
01:30For now, it has no water and it's dirty because it's not maintained anymore.
01:35There is no longer a supply of water and electricity here in the area.
01:40Inside the villas, plants are dying.
01:44And underneath, there are still other secrets.
01:48One of the common things that can be discovered in illegal POGOs,
01:52like these secret rooms, secret pools,
01:56here in Baufu, they have a network of tunnels that can be accessed from the wine cellar of one of the villas.
02:03It's a secret door.
02:04When you enter, here it is, a steel door.
02:10When you enter the pool, it leads to the other villas.
02:15The offices themselves are now abandoned.
02:18Some of these partitions have also been destroyed.
02:21The items are scattered, including the food and garbage of the POGO workers.
02:29The POGO hub in Borac, Pampanga, is also quiet.
02:32A few hours before the lock-in, this Lucky South 99 is almost full of POGO workers.
02:41For now, there are almost no people.
02:44Only a few police officers are guarding this place.
02:50POGO workers are not the only ones who can be seen here.
02:52It's also the goats that are being fed by the high grass.
02:56The work areas and the villas of the bosses are also guarded and guarded.
03:02But we were allowed to enter one of the dormitories.
03:06Since the raid, this place has not been seen by the public.
03:09In fact, this area is already full of goats.
03:13And if you look at the rooms, it's messy.
03:20Because this is how the POGO workers left their dormitories when they fled.
03:27Here on this side, the smell is a bit different.
03:31That's because there are also leftovers of food that are rotting at this time.
03:39According to the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission of Paok,
03:428 large POGO hubs were raided since 2022.
03:47All of these are now empty.
03:50The properties of POGOs raided are now under the Preservation Order,
03:54like this BAUFU compound.
03:56It means that it is under the care of the government
04:00while they are hearing the forfeiture cases for these.
04:04Because in our Human Trafficking Law,
04:06there is a provision that the instruments and proceeds of the crime,
04:10the instruments and proceeds from the crime of human trafficking
04:14can be forfeited to the state
04:17so that the victims of human trafficking can benefit.
04:21What we are thinking here is for the government to benefit.
04:25Like those large POGO hubs,
04:29they can be used as schools,
04:31they can be used as camps or training centers.
04:36For example, if our case is won
04:40and it becomes a property of the government,
04:43it can be sold.
04:45Because the victims of human trafficking can benefit from this.
04:53One POGO hub in Pasay
04:56is now a detention facility of Paok
04:58and the Department of Social Welfare and Development or DSWD
05:02as a processing center for those who are being detained in the streets.
05:06According to the real estate consultancy firm Lechu Property Consultants,
05:10less than 1 million square meters of office space
05:14will be allocated for the leasing of POGOs.
05:17Many landlords have not yet included their condo units
05:22or residential property to foreign POGO workers.
05:26It will take 3 to 5 years
05:29before the market stabilizes again.
05:31The biggest impact of this is the sentiment of the investors.
05:37According to the Department of Finance,
05:39POGO's impact on the economy is at P99.25 billion per year.
05:45But NEDA itself said
05:48that it will not equal the negative effect of POGO on society.
05:53At the end of the year,
05:54the Philippines will continue to close its doors to POGOs
05:59to the left and right of the criminals,
06:01to the controversies,
06:02and to the many victims.
06:04I hope the country has learned
06:06not to let this kind of dark industry flourish again.
06:11From Porac, Pampanga,
06:14for GMA Integrated News,
06:15I'm Nima Rafrang,
06:17for 24 Hours.
06:20The MMDA has been clearing operations 3 to 4 times
06:25to reduce the traffic in Metro Manila.
06:29Among the witnesses earlier,
06:31the driver of the pick-up,
06:33who was almost caught by the enforcer
06:35because he was trying to escape.
06:38Mark Salazar was caught red-handed.
06:41Mark?
06:45Mel, it looks like we're already at the climax
06:47of the so-called Christmas Carmageddon.
06:51Because the major toro fairs or alternate routes
06:55are getting fuller and fuller.
06:58This week is already Christmas.
07:04More than half a million cars pass through EDSA every day.
07:09That's why you may have noticed that
07:11the traffic is limited to 20 to 30 kilometers per hour.
07:15Now, the most important are the 17 living lanes
07:19so that there is an alternative to EDSA
07:21and other major toro fairs.
07:23It's very important, very crucial,
07:25to make sure that there are no illegal parking,
07:28no sidewalk obstructions,
07:30so that at least the flow of our traffic is continuous.
07:34And also, the volume of cars that can pass
07:37can be increased.
07:39The MMDA is already clearing operations 3 to 4 times per day
07:42in the living lanes.
07:44Earlier, this surprised Sergeant Esguerra Street, Quezon City.
07:49The vehicle is moving.
07:51It's breathing.
07:53It's okay.
07:55The illegal parking that used to be given
07:58because it's not rush hour,
08:00is also being caught now.
08:02One thousand pesos for physical apprehension.
08:05It's also not recognized.
08:07During this time, it's only for a short while.
08:10I'm just going to get something.
08:12It's only for a short while.
08:14But I don't know if it's prohibited, sir.
08:16At least, I already know.
08:18The driver of this pickup truck
08:20is the one who will pay the biggest price
08:22for his violation.
08:24Because aside from the illegal parking,
08:26he is also a bit more than an enforcer
08:28in the last minute.
08:30Why don't you put some arrogance
08:32so that you can clear it?
08:34Sir, I already put it, sir.
08:36And reckless driving, sir.
08:38Oh, reckless driving?
08:40Yes, sir.
08:42So that you can see and prove it.
08:44Yes, okay.
08:45Put it all.
08:46Bus stations will also be limited,
08:48especially in the expected exodus on Friday.
08:52This is our deployment,
08:54the extended deployment of our traffic enforcers
08:56all throughout until 12 midnight.
08:58The MMDA called again
09:00to motorists not to get involved
09:02in EDSA, C5, and Commonwealth.
09:06We are encouraging people,
09:08we are encouraging the drivers
09:10to use these Mabuhay lanes.
09:12Because they are very useful,
09:14very convenient, because it interconnects
09:16all the cities within Metro Manila.
09:18This afternoon,
09:20at Chino Rosas Avenue Extension in Makati,
09:22several GME News saw
09:24a taxi, jeepney,
09:26and private vehicle
09:28parked on the side of the road.
09:34Mel, let's quickly look
09:36at the traffic situation
09:38here at EDSA Show Boulevard
09:40because this is one of the bottlenecks
09:42of EDSA.
09:44The malls are next to each other here.
09:46We can say that
09:48this is bearable.
09:50We are more experienced,
09:52but at least,
09:54this is moving from Show Boulevard
09:56and it will slowly approach
09:58Ortigas.
10:00But after Ortigas flyover,
10:02it will be banned.
10:04But of course, there is still Wednesday
10:06and Thursday,
10:08and the expected exodus on Friday
10:10will be prepared. Mel?
10:12Thank you very much,
10:14Mark Salazar.
10:20The excitement for the upcoming
10:22MMFF entry of Green Bones is doubled
10:24because of its new poster
10:26and the latest characters
10:28of Dennis Trillo and Ruru Madrid.
10:30But Ruru is not alone
10:32because her shoot is also ongoing
10:34for the series,
10:36Nalolong Bayani ng Bayan.
10:38After
10:40Pambansang Kinood,
10:42David Licauco,
10:44there is a new recruit
10:46for TikTok,
10:48Kapuso Drama King, Dennis Trillo.
10:52His TikTok entry with Green Bones
10:54co-star, Ruru Madrid
10:56brought good vibes to the fans
10:58who are so excited
11:00to watch the MMFF
11:02entry of the two.
11:04This afternoon,
11:06the GMA Pictures entry's poster was released.
11:08To be honest, Nelson,
11:10first of all, I'm just very
11:12grateful to be part of this project.
11:14I just manifested it.
11:16Last year, when I was watching Firefly,
11:18I said, when the end credits came out,
11:20I said,
11:22I feel like I'll have an MMFF next year.
11:24I felt it and I told Bianca right away,
11:26I said, I feel like I'll have an MMFF
11:28next year. And then,
11:30it was suddenly given to me.
11:32There was a chance that
11:34there will be Green Bones.
11:36Ruru also said that he prepared
11:38a lot for his character.
11:40He barely moved in the movie.
11:42It was something that left
11:44him in his comfort zone.
11:46Most of my scenes,
11:48I don't say anything.
11:50Most of the time,
11:52I study what's happening.
11:54Aside from promoting Green Bones,
11:56Kapuso Action Prince also
11:58hands-on in one of his
12:00major projects,
12:02the Lifetime Series,
12:04Bayani ng Bayan.
12:06I did six sets of fight scenes
12:08and then,
12:10I did it all on the spot.
12:12It was very challenging
12:14because first, I had to fight the goons.
12:16Second, I had to fight the actors.
12:18Third, I had to fight the actors.
12:20And then, I had to fight the double actors.
12:22I never did a double.
12:24So, it became a challenge for me.
12:28In the middle of a busy schedule,
12:30Ruru never forgets his fans.
12:32He's happy with the
12:34belated birthday celebration
12:36that his fans prepared for him.
12:38At the end of the day,
12:40as long as you do your best
12:42and you always put your heart
12:44into everything you do,
12:46everything will be worth it.
12:48Nelson Canlas,
12:50updated on Shoebiz Happenings.
12:56Good evening, Kapuso!
12:58I'm your brother, Kim,
13:00who will give you the trivia behind the trending news.
13:02Christmas is coming
13:04in Angela City, Pampanga
13:06because of their traditional parade.
13:08Come, let's enjoy
13:10their colorful celebration.
13:14The streets of
13:16Angela City, Pampanga,
13:18lit up with the parade of beautiful
13:20and colorful lights.
13:22Every barangay has an entry to the procession.
13:24This is their first year of Christmas.
13:26This is one of the traditions of the Kapampangan.
13:28It's also the beginning of one of the favorite
13:30Christmas traditions of the Filipinos,
13:32the Christmas Eve.
13:34As a religious tradition that started in 1830,
13:36this symbolizes
13:38deep faith
13:40and the unity of the angels.
13:42But do you know what symbolizes
13:44their parade of lights?
13:48Brother Kim, what now?
13:50The word Luvenas comes from the word
13:52Luvina, which means
13:54Luvenas, which means
13:56Christmas Eve.
13:58Most of us are used to
14:00going to mass early.
14:02The Kapampangan
14:04perform the procession
14:06on Christmas Eve
14:08as a penance and preparation
14:10for the birth of Jesus Christ.
14:12And in their procession,
14:14they hold lanterns.
14:18Aside from a dozen
14:20of lanterns,
14:22there is also a cross
14:24and a fish that symbolizes Jesus.
14:26But Luvenas
14:28is a tradition that is slowly disappearing.
14:30Aside from the angels,
14:32the municipality of Magalang,
14:34San Fernando, Mabalacat,
14:36and Mexico,
14:38that's what Luvenas still has.
14:40In order to continue
14:42the religious tradition
14:44that is done every year,
14:46it was stopped.
14:48It's only now that it's okay after the pandemic.
14:50And because it's a tradition
14:52to hold the procession on Christmas Eve,
14:54another Christmas tradition is emerging.
14:56That's why the Philippines' Christmas Capital
14:58is another town in Pampanga.
15:08This is the most anticipated
15:10Ligligan Parul or Giant Lantern Festival
15:12in San Fernando, Pampanga.
15:14The famous Christmas Capital of the Philippines.
15:16Here, they decorate
15:18and make the parol makers
15:20from different barangays
15:22in San Fernando.
15:24In making the parol,
15:26it's located in a 20-story building.
15:28And did you know that Ligligan Parul
15:30was believed to have started in the 1900s
15:32following the old tradition of Luvenas?
15:34Meanwhile, to find out
15:36the trivia behind the viral news,
15:38just post or comment
15:40hashtag Kuya Kim, what now?

17:32enjoyed shopping.
17:34How was your experience here?
17:36The experience

18:24We need a discount
18:26so we can buy it.
18:28Even pets

18:32Like Violetta,
18:34who bought a Santa costume,
18:36there's also a leash for dogs,
18:38hammocks, and toys.
18:40She's kind.
18:42She's kind to me.
18:44It relieves my stress.
18:46It's cheap here.
18:48It's expensive in malls.
18:50It's P50 less.
18:52Really?
18:54Yes, ma'am.
18:58Before it's 8 p.m.,
19:00we still have a lot of people
19:02who want to buy in Divisoria.
19:04Some stores here
19:06are open until 10 p.m.
19:08We'll learn to be thankful

19:12we receive.
19:14What's important is that we remember
19:16who gave it to us.
19:18Thank you, Maris Umali.
19:20The Department of Education
19:22has an answer to the statement
19:24of Senate President Cheese Escudero
19:26that there are a lot of savings
19:28and the government is not using funds.
19:30Depe said,
19:33for their computerization program
19:35from 2022 to 2024,
19:45That's contrary to what Escudero said
19:47that 70% of the more than
19:49P51 billion funds were not used.
19:51That's why they can use
19:53more than P11.5 billion
19:55for their 2025 budget.
20:03Ergie Sangre Danaya
20:05is back on GMA Prime
20:07through Batang Riles.
20:09Her Christmas celebration
20:11is also back in the Philippines
20:13with her kids who grew up in Australia.
20:15Let's talk to Lars Santiago.
20:21You don't understand
20:22what my ancestors went through.
20:24Every time they see
20:26Diana Zubiri on TV
20:28is the flag of Batang Riles.
20:30Tagalilis! Tagalilis!
20:32She's more excited
20:34to see this
20:36by her kids.
20:38I'm very excited,
20:40because we're the first show
20:42that will air this new year.
20:44So, we are
20:46the opening
20:48of this year.
20:50That's why I'm very happy
20:52because this is my return
20:54after 5 years.
20:56This is also a comeback project
20:58for the 5-year-old
21:00who lived in Australia.
21:02She was last seen in action
21:04and fight scenes
21:06when she was born as Lila Sari
21:08in Encantadia 2016.
21:10Diana praised
21:12the 5 young actors
21:14who were part of the project.
21:16Not only are they kind,
21:18they are also talented.
21:20Kokoy De Santos,
21:22Rahil Biria, Bruce Roland,
21:24Antonio Binson,
21:26and Miguel Tan Felix
21:28who is acting as his son
21:30in the series.
21:32The kid is talented,
21:34disciplined, and trained.
21:36He's been an artist since he was a kid.
21:38He's trained and professional.
21:40Our tandem as a mother
21:42is very good.
21:44He's really reaching out to me.
21:46He's giving his effort
21:48when it comes to acting.
21:50Because Miguel fights
21:52in intense action scenes
21:54and the 4 co-actors
21:56have a good observation
21:58of Diana
22:00as a young action star.
22:02I see them rehearsing,
22:04training.
22:06I'm proud because I see
22:08how hardworking they are
