00:00We will all be with you in the fight!
00:14Even the Chinese Embassy has joined the people who are calling for the banning of Pogo in the Philippines.
00:20Attorney Harry Roque defended himself after he found a document signed by Pogo in Porac, Pampanga.
00:28Witness, Jun Veneracion.
00:34The residents of the Pogo Hub in Porac, Pampanga were forced to enter the illegal activities.
00:43In one of the houses, the thieves were caught who were suspected of torturing the employees of the Pogo Hub.
00:50Text blasts or sending many messages by scammers were also found.
00:56Papers were also collected to identify the Pogo Hub employees and their connections.
01:02At the security office entrance, the PNP Regional Highway Patrol Unit 3 saw the Certificate of Recognition
01:09for the generous donations of the company that provides assistance to the establishments operating in the raided compound.
01:17The PNP Regional Highway Patrol Unit 3 defended their giving of the Certificate of Recognition
01:23due to the contribution of the company for the establishment of their facility.
01:28The company is part of the private sector that is doing Ride for a Cost as part of the fundraising activity for the PNP Regional Highway Patrol Unit 3.
01:37We were able to give a good fit of the Certificate of Recognition.
01:41There are items, cement, and iron.
01:46But in December, they saw that the women's quarters and the CR were not functioning.
01:52Our clients were not able to go to the comfort room because they were not permitted.
01:57But the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission or PAOC said...
02:01Of course, if you know that this is illegal, why do you need to give appreciation?
02:05So we will check how generous you are or how big you are.
02:11We will find out how the help was done.
02:14This appointment papers were also seen by one of the Executive Assistants in Malacanang,
02:19in the office of the former Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque.
02:22This is scheduled for January 4, 2021.
02:25There is also an affidavit of support signed by Roque when he was no longer in the government.
02:31It states that he will pay the expenses of his former Executive Assistant in their trip to Europe last October.
02:39That's what makes me curious. Why are those documents here?
02:44Roque said that he is a lawyer who is running a company in a court case,
02:48but he has nothing to do with the POGO operation.
02:51He was told not to mix the appointment papers of his wife when he was still in Malacanang.
02:57I've been an employee of his for a long time, but he hasn't worked for me for a long time.
03:02I think he is studying somewhere in Clark. Maybe he lives there.
03:08In the hearing of the Pampanga District Attorney General,
03:11the local government officials of PORAC, along with Mayor Jaime Capil,
03:16and the illegal POGO Hub in the town of PORAC, which was raided by the authorities on June 4,
03:22came out in the hearing that the POGO Hub operator, Lucky South 99,
03:26was given a business permit from 2019 to 2023,
03:32despite the lack of relevant requirements and documents.
03:36It also came out that Lucky South 99 received a business permit in 2019,
03:41which was given within a day.
03:44They applied for an application around November 11 of 2019.
03:51When was the issue?
03:53The business permit?
03:54Business permit.
03:55That same day, sir.
03:56On the same day?
03:57November 11.
03:59What documents do you require?
04:02We will look into that.
04:05Mayor Capil also said that he has no knowledge of human trafficking,
04:10sex trafficking, torture, and other illegal operations in the POGO Hub.
04:15The Chinese Embassy has already filed a complaint with the Philippine government
04:18that POGO was banned.
04:20They have no evidence that it is organized in China in the POGO operation.
04:25It is said that the laws in China prohibit any type of gambling.
04:29They also have evidence that it is involved in other crimes
04:33such as kidnapping for ransom, human trafficking, and murder.
04:37For GMA Integrated News, I'm Jun Veneracion, your eyewitness.
04:43Before the eyewitness, there were 8 injuries in the collision of a tri-cab
04:46and a car in Misamis Oriental.
04:49In the CCTV footage, the tri-cab was about to collide with the car.
04:555 minors were in the tri-cab.
04:59According to the investigation, the driver fell asleep.
05:03The tri-cab passengers were from the party.
05:06The injuries were taken to the hospital.
05:09They are in good condition and are ready to fix the injuries in the accident.
05:17The Chinese are serious and not afraid
05:20that they will arrest non-Chinese in their territory
05:24according to a senator.
05:25In the hope of implementing the Chinese order,
05:28some Filipino fishermen decided to go abroad.
05:31Joseph Morong is an eyewitness.
05:37We are thinking about it, the fear.
05:39But what worries us the most is the search for life.
05:43The fishermen in Masinok, Zambales are still going abroad
05:47even though the China Coast Guard will implement the new order tomorrow
05:51to arrest fishermen crossing the waters of China.
05:56The area where Masinok is located
05:59is not only in the Exclusive Economic Zone or EEZ of the Philippines,
06:03but also in the territory of Zambales.
06:06The fishermen are claiming their rights.
06:09They have no right to implement that law
06:12because that territory is ours.
06:14That ocean is ours.
06:16We are the West Philippine Sea that is under the control of the EEZ,
06:19Exclusive Economic Zone.
06:21Under the new order of the China Coast Guard starting tomorrow,
06:24they can arrest and imprison
06:27up to two months without being detained
06:29by any foreigners who cross their waters.
06:34China did not say what the new directive will include,
06:38but China has admitted the entire South China Sea.
06:41In the latest monitoring of the Philippine Coast Guard in Bajo de Masinok yesterday,
06:45there were two ships of the China Coast Guard
06:48and five Chinese Maritime Militia vessels
06:51whose number is lower than usual.
06:53There are also no visible floating barriers at the mouth of the shoal.
06:56I am not downplaying the new regulation of China.
07:00If they are really going to enforce such new regulation,
07:05I hope that the number of China Coast Guard deployed here will be higher.
07:10The Philippine fishermen are calling on the government
07:14to pay attention to the small fishermen of the West Philippine Sea
07:18and give them protection.
07:20According to the National Task Force for the West Philippine Sea,
07:23the Philippine fishermen should not be held accountable.
07:27The Philippine Coast Guard and other government agencies,
07:31such as the Department of Justice and the Department of Foreign Affairs,
07:34are alerted if any arrests will take place.
07:36They are not trespassers.
07:38If there are trespassers here who do not comply with international law
07:43and keep on violating the United Nations Convention of the Law of the Sea,
07:47that's only the Chinese Coast Guard
07:49and that's only the Chinese Maritime Militia.
07:51They are the only ones who do not have the right to come here.
07:55Your Armed Forces of the Philippines,
07:57our Philippine Navy and the Philippine Coast Guard are here.
08:00We are discussing a lot of measures to protect our fishermen.
08:08We are asking for a statement from China.
08:11Senator Francis Tolentino helped DFA Secretary Enrique Manalo this afternoon
08:16to discuss China's deadline for tomorrow.
08:19Tolentino cannot trust everything that was discussed in the DFA.
08:23But based on the information that he believes is not bluff or has no evidence,
08:28China's statement is that they will implement the Coast Guard Law
08:31and will arrest the trespassers.
08:34Our Philippine Coast Guard, our Philippine Navy,
08:38and our fishermen should be alert to what will happen.
08:45For GMA Integrated News, Joseph Morong is your witness.
08:51Under the counseling is a man who was hurt by his 95-year-old mother.
08:57The suspect did not immediately apologize even though the victim fell.
09:01Our witness.
09:05He's an alcoholic.
09:07The 75-year-old man was very angry when he pushed his 95-year-old mother
09:14out of her room.
09:18Another woman immediately cried out when the victim fell.
09:22But the man's abuse did not end there.
09:25Inside the room, his mother was continuously being carried by the man's hands.
09:31Mother!
09:33The old man's screams were heard while he was angry at his own child.
09:38Mother!
09:40They were together in the room.
09:42They tried to fight for a few months.
09:45But the suspect did not listen.
09:48The old man also tried to stand up but the suspect slapped him here
09:52so he was forced to lie down again.
09:54Based on the investigation of the police,
09:56the suspect was angry that his mother did not allow him to go out.
09:59The suspect let his mother know that he was going to a funeral.
10:06Now, the son was angry so he hurt his mother.
10:15The victim was quickly rescued when a councilman called the police on the incident.
10:21According to them, the old man was not injured.
10:24The son was also held by the police but the victim did not plan to file a case.
10:29He did not want to file a case so we only did an intervention.
10:33Both of them are under counseling.
10:37His son asked for forgiveness from his mother.
10:45For GMA Integrated News, Bernadette Reyes, your Saksi.
10:55A message from the Holy Father to the priests.
10:57The sermon should not exceed 8 minutes per mass.
11:01Is it in favor of the Filipinos?
11:03It was challenged in Barangay Saksi.
11:08In the Holy Mass, the priest divides the word of God according to what is written in the Bible.
11:13But the sermon of the priest is shorter according to Pope Francis.
11:18For it to be effective, the Holy Father said, 8 minutes is enough.
11:23If it is longer, people will lose their attention and they will not be able to sleep.
11:28Is it in favor of our fellowmen online?
11:31Others agree.
11:32What is important is the content and not the length of the message.
11:36Even if it is short, the message is effective.
11:39Another one said, what is the point of worship if it will only make people sleep because of the long sermon?
11:45Sometimes, another one said, there are additional sermons that have nothing to do with the Gospel.
11:50Is it in favor of all the messages that are longer than 8 minutes?
11:57Because some of them are longer,
12:00the length of the explanations of the priest,
12:04some of them have stories,
12:06but in 8 minutes, if everything is there, there is no problem.
12:11It is not in favor of others.
12:13It is too fast for 8 minutes,
12:15or it is not enough to explain a passage.
12:19It is better if it is 15 minutes or more.
12:22Another one said, listening to the message of God,
12:26talking to the wife or someone you love,
12:29is it okay if it is only 8 minutes?
12:31Another one asked,
12:32why is it that when gossiping and using cellphones,
12:35other people do not fall asleep?
12:37It is not in favor of me, sir,
12:39because I have been doing this for 5 years.
12:43That is what people are used to.
12:45That is the only thing they will follow.
12:48The long sermon of the priest.
12:53For those who do not really listen,
12:55even 8 minutes is too long.
12:58It is not sleepy if the heart is ready to receive the message of God.
13:02There are those who joke,
13:03they put a buzzer,
13:04and when it rings, the sermon stops.
13:07Another one asked,
13:08can the sermon of the mother be shortened?
13:11Another one said,
13:128 minutes is okay for the usual day of Mass,
13:16and the sermon should be longer during Feast Day
13:19and other special days for the Church.
13:22Another one said,
13:23if the sermon of the priest is longer than 30 minutes,
13:27the parishioners will not be able to sleep.
13:29The long sermon of the priest is okay for me.
13:32It is good for people who always think of God.
13:38If there is no hope,
13:39if there is a problem,
13:41just pray.
