00:00It's been two weeks since a cold storage facility in Quezon City was burned down.

00:09But until now, residents are still complaining and can still smell the foul smell coming from the facility.

00:17This is James Agustin's Hati-Hati news report.

00:23This cold storage facility in FBJ Avenue in Barangay Del Monte, Quezon City was burned down on January 20.

00:29It's been more than two weeks since the facility was burned down.

00:31Residents are still complaining because they can still smell the foul smell coming from the facility.

00:40I can still smell the foul smell coming from the facility.

00:45Those who pass by the area are wearing face coverings, whether they are walking or riding a jeep.

00:50Residents who live near the cold storage facility are the most affected.

00:55It's very difficult because you eat everyday and you can still smell the foul smell coming from the facility.

01:01When you go to sleep, you can still smell the foul smell coming from the facility.

01:07I have headaches and I can't sleep at night.

01:13Ricky, who works at the nearby construction site, was forced to wear a face mask.

01:19It's very foul, very foul.

01:21Every morning, every morning, when we come here, all of us, our workers, are wearing face masks.

01:33Nick is also enduring the same situation.

01:36He worked 12 hours a day at the Sari-Sari store.

01:39His face mask and face coverings were also sold out.

01:42You can't eat because of the foul smell.

01:45I have headaches.

01:48It's like, you know, when you get home from work, you feel weak.

01:54The QCDRMO has an incident command post outside the cold storage facility.

01:59The local government first said in a statement that they are targeting the waste disposal and disposal of debris and frozen goods.

02:08We are also trying to get the control of the cold storage facility.

02:12James Agustin reporting for GEMA Integrated News.

02:22For those who will buy rice today, the most expensive imported rice that you can buy in Metro Manila should be P55 per kilo.

02:31That is in accordance with the orders of the Department of Agriculture.

02:34Some stores in Pasig Mega Market are also following suit.

02:38The local rice store there is from P42 to P64 per kilo.

02:45It still depends on the class.

02:47In other parts of the country, the P55 maximum SRP will be implemented starting on February 15.

02:54According to the VA, their target is to lower the maximum SRP of imported rice to P49 per kilo in the coming weeks.

03:04The government is aiming to lower the price of rice in the local market.

03:10Now, rice is cheaper in the international market and the price of imported rice is lower.

03:18Inflation is still 2.9% or the rate of inflation of products and services in the country in January.

03:27According to the Philippine Statistics Authority, the inflation rate is the same as in December 2024.

03:33But it is higher than in January 2024.

03:37According to the PSA, the increase in the price of tomatoes and other vegetables, meat and fish, especially galunggong, is due to inflation.

03:49The price of electricity, water and liquefied petroleum gas or LPG is also slowing.

03:55According to the National Economic and Development Authority,

03:58their steady inflation this January is a positive indication of the government's efforts to control the price of goods.

04:15The Bicameral Conference Committee agreed on October 13

04:20the parliamentary elections of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao or BARMM.

04:26According to Senate President Chiz Escudero, this is to ensure a clean and peaceful election.

04:33The Bicam meeting also agreed to extend the term of the current member of the Bangsamoro Transition Authority.

04:41However, House Deputy Minority Leader Mujib Hataman, who is a member of BARMM, did not agree with the Bicam report.

04:51He said that if they want peace, the members of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region should be allowed to elect their leaders in the May elections.

05:00In order for a law to be passed, the Bicam report must first be approved by the Senate and House of Representatives

05:06and signed by President Bongbong Marcos.

05:09According to ComElect Chair George Erwin Garcia,

05:12they are ready and they understand the intention of the BARMM elections.

05:20They will need two and a half billion pesos for the separate automated BARMM elections.

05:30Meanwhile, this is Love Month.

05:32Take care of yourselves from love scams.

05:35In Makati City, more than a hundred victims were arrested using images made by Artificial Intelligence or AI.

05:44This is John Consulta.

05:50Step back. Step back.

05:52He's not using his cell phone.

05:54He's not holding a computer.

05:57The NBI-NCR has not yet visited a regular office in Makati City.

06:01In a dispute over the motorcycle, scripts used for fraud were used.

06:06There are cell phones that can exchange messages through a program.

06:11They used sim cards that are not registered.

06:14We are looking at the violation of the Anti-Financial Account Scamming Act

06:20and then of course the Cybercrime Act.

06:24One of the NBI's targets is a scam hub that uses Artificial Intelligence or AI.

06:32This computer and camera only scans the faces of the recruited scammers.

06:39As a result, they are using AI to generate the face of a woman

06:44who is currently being used by syndicates to make video calls to foreigners in other countries

06:51so that they can be victims.

06:54I'm facing it.

06:56Even my own face has been changed to AI.

07:01What is that? Real-time.

07:04Real-time.

07:05They will change it.

07:07They will really be juked into believing that they are real.

07:10167 Filipinos and two Chinese were involved in the Love Scam activities.

07:17Most of their victims are foreigners based in Europe and the Middle East.

07:22According to our conversations, their group has been operating for three years

07:27and their quota is three foreigners per day.

07:30We will get the trust and the relationship of the customer.

07:34If we build the trust and the relationship,

07:37that's where the so-called investment scum will enter.

07:40To be honest, there are a lot of people here.

07:43They cannot provide normal jobs.

07:46When it comes to the consensus, there's nothing.

07:48We are only thinking about money.

07:51The NBI reminded the syndicates not to use the scam hub.

07:56They should not be fooled by the promise of big money.

07:59They will be more vulnerable.

08:02The Love Scam is included in the reports of the CICC or Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center.

08:08According to the CICC, they received more than 10,000 cybercrime complaints in 2024.

08:15This is three times bigger than the complaints they received in 2023.

08:21The victims lost almost P200 million.

08:26John Consulta reporting for GMA Integrated News.

09:06Batanes, Cagayan, along with the Babuyan Islands, Isabela,

09:11as well as several towns in Aurora.
