00:00Before the witness, the seven Indonesian workers who work in Pogo submitted to the authorities.
00:10They admitted that they were involved in scamming and experienced threats.
00:16Witness, Salima Refran exclusive.
00:19Instead of being arrested, the seven Indonesian Pogo workers went to the office of PAOK in Pasay City.
00:31Aside from their visa being suspended and they have no money, they are tired of hiding from the authorities.
00:49They don't want to work in Pogo because they know it's illegal, right?
00:56So, they want to go back to Indonesia.
00:59They transferred their workers and were involved in scamming.
01:05Pasay, Paranyake, and Makati.
01:07The longest?
01:08Two years.
01:09And then the shortest?
01:11Two months.
01:12Two months?
01:13Yeah.
01:14Illegal Pogo already, two months.
01:17Remember no more Pogo.
01:20Yeah.
01:21Yeah, maybe because they don't know about their equipment.
01:26Before, there are online betting and they move to the other company and they don't know they do the scam like that.
01:35They were not hurt.
01:37They experienced verbal abuse, threats, and huge salary deductions.
01:43If you don't get the right target or something, they will say you're stupid.
01:50Or if you can't do this job, it's better you die like that or something like that.
02:00I will electrocute you.
02:05But they only say that.
02:08Yeah.
02:09No physical abuse.
02:11Under the Profiling, Biometrics, and Processing of the Bureau of Immigration of Taiwan,
02:17the Indonesian Embassy is already preparing to send them home.
02:22There is a way.
02:24We have an embassy that we talk to.
02:28Sometimes they answer when it comes to plane tickets.
02:31And here in our office, even our government is all willing to support when it comes to their safe return to their countries.
02:43The number of people who surrendered abroad has reached 30.
02:48For GMA Integrated News, I am Sally Marafang, your sexy.
02:54Oil prices are expected to drop next week.
02:58According to the Oil Industry Management Bureau of the Energy Department,
03:02the price of diesel can go up to P1.20.
03:06This is based on the four-day trading.
03:09For gasoline, the price may drop to P1.70 per liter.
03:15This is also the projection for the price of kerosene.
03:18Also, due to the rollback, the stockpile of crude oil in America
03:22and the plan of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, OPEC Plus,
03:26will increase in April.
03:29It is also said that the U.S. will have an effect on products from Canada, China, and Mexico.
03:35On the first occasion since being confined due to double pneumonia,
03:39Pope Francis issued an audio message for those who are praying for his recovery.
03:45Let's watch.
03:49Before the prayer of the Rosary in St. Peter's Square in the Vatican,
03:54a special message was delivered to those there
03:58and to those who are praying for Pope Francis in other parts of the world.
04:03The message was pre-recorded from St. Pope,
04:07where the main language of his country, Argentina, is in Spanish.
04:13I thank you for all your prayers,
04:19for your health in St. Peter's Square,
04:24for your compassion,
04:26for your love,
04:28for your kindness,
04:31and for your love for me.
04:37This is Pope Francis' first audio message
04:40from Gemelli Hospital in Rome,
04:43where he has been confined for three weeks due to double pneumonia.
04:47Last Monday, he had to undergo non-invasive mechanical ventilation
04:53due to two episodes of acute respiratory insufficiency.
04:57He also experienced bronchospasm,
05:00which is similar to an asthma attack.
05:02In the latest update from the Vatican,
05:05the 88-year-old Pope is in stable condition
05:08and has not experienced an episode of respiratory crisis.
05:12Every night, he has to wear a ventilation mask that helps him breathe.
05:18He also continues his physical therapy to help him move.
05:23Yesterday, the Pope was able to work during the day,
05:27and the Vatican announced the appointment of two bishops.
05:32According to the Agence France-Presse,
05:34although he is not personally involved in the inauguration of Ash Wednesday in the Vatican,
05:39he is included in the blessing of his private suite in Gemelli.
05:44The Vatican also confirmed that a senior cardinal
05:47will attend Pope Francis for the first week of the Quaresma.
05:52This is the longest confinement of Pope Francis since he became a saint in 2013.
05:59For GMA Integrated News,
06:01I am Tina Panganiban Perez, your witness.
06:06Until the Philippines made a step
06:08to establish the Air Defense Identification Zone,
06:11China is in the West Philippine Sea.
06:14That's according to the Department of National Defense.
06:17Witness, Chino Gaston.
06:23Just this February, a Chinese military helicopter
06:26entered the BIFAR airfield in the airspace of Bajo de Macidloc
06:30inside the Exclusive Economic Zone of the Philippines.
06:35While in August, the Chinese fighter jets lost their flares
06:39against the aircraft of the Philippine Air Force in the same place.
06:43It's been a few years since China seems to be implementing control
06:48in the West Philippine Sea.
06:50How can China establish itself in the West Philippine Sea
06:53of the Air Defense Identification Zone or ADIZ
06:56or the place where all incoming aircraft will be required
07:00to identify, say the location and give control?
07:04China has already done that in parts of the East China Sea
07:07surrounded by the Exclusive Economic Zones of Japan and South Korea.
07:11Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr. said
07:14it's illegal if ever,
07:16that's why the Philippines will implement countermeasures
07:19and other allied countries to counter it.
07:22If it continues, there are Philippine aircraft
07:26that were not detailed by the National Maritime Council.
07:29Aside from that, the Philippine Air Force
07:32can detect all aircraft in the West Philippine Sea.
07:35Air Force jets can also be sent there
07:37to radio challenge and investigate them.
07:40Our radars are capable of detecting air and maritime movement
07:46that extends over our Exclusive Economic Zone.
07:50It's capable also of doing the necessary,
07:53the Air Force in general is capable of doing the necessary challenges.
07:57According to a security expert,
07:59China has long expected the establishment of the ADIZ
08:03in the South China Sea as well as the West Philippine Sea.
08:07It's a zone that a country would declare,
08:10it's primarily a strategic diplomatic move
08:12wherein any aircraft entering that zone
08:15has to identify itself to that country.
08:19Well, you need a lot of facilities,
08:21you need a lot of radar and monitoring system
08:25so you can monitor your airspace.
08:27For GMA Integrated News,
08:29I'm Chino Gaston, your witness.
08:33Now that there's another heatstroke due to extreme heat,
08:36doctors have a simple test
08:39to find out if a person is dehydrated.
08:42That's what's called a bench test.
08:45Witness, Jimmy Santos.
08:51The heat index is slightly down
08:53due to the shear line in Cagayan Valley,
08:56according to the forecast.
08:58In Eastern Park,
08:59the Northeast Monsoon is still present.
09:02But according to the forecast,
09:04the heat index is still expected to rise in the next few weeks.
09:08We expect that the heat index will continue to rise
09:12until the danger category.
09:19By the third week of March up to April and May,
09:26the heat index will continue to rise.
09:29The possibility that by May,
09:32there will be places in the country
09:34that will experience an extreme danger level.
09:36Heatstroke starts with heat exhaustion.
09:40So that means that there are signs
09:43that we are experiencing heat exhaustion.
09:45We feel like we're getting dizzy,
09:48we feel weak,
09:49we have a high fever,
09:50we have a headache,
09:51our heart beats fast.
09:54It usually leads to convulsions and loss of consciousness.
09:58So this is an emergency condition.
10:01If someone is showing these symptoms,
10:04First of all, if the patient is in the heat,
10:07we put him in a dark place.
10:09We can put him in front of an electric fan.
10:13If he can still drink,
10:14we can let him drink cold water.
10:20We can also put his clothes inside
10:23so that he can breathe properly.
10:25Aside from that,
10:26we can put ice packs in his armpits
10:30so that we can lower his temperature.
10:34Once we have stabilized,
10:36we feel that this is an emergency,
10:38we still need to bring him to the hospital.
10:41Pinch tests can also be done
10:43to find out if you or a person is dehydrated.
10:47The pinch test that you're talking about
10:49is a sign that our patient is lacking water.
10:54If his skin returns to its original state slowly,
10:57it means that he lacks water in his body.
11:00To avoid heat stroke and heat exhaustion,
11:03doctors advise to limit going out in the heat,
11:06especially between 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
11:11Drink plenty of water.
11:13Avoid drinks that are dehydrating,
11:16avoid alcohol, soft drinks, and coffee.
11:18Protect yourself if you can't avoid going out.
11:21Wear an umbrella and a hat.
11:24For GMA Integrated News,
11:26I am Jamie Santos, your witness.
11:31The man was arrested in Pasay
11:32for selling illegal text blasters for a scam.
11:36According to the investigation,
11:38the device is worth Php 600,000
11:41and he is trading it online.
11:43This equipment can send a lot of text messages
11:47within a radius of 500 meters.
11:50The police also discovered
11:52that the suspect used to be a security guard
11:54at a Pogo store,
11:56and he bought the text blaster
11:58from the former Pogo operator.
12:00He doesn't know how to operate the text blaster,
12:03but he knows that he is using it for a scam.
12:07The suspect is facing a complaint
12:09against the Data Privacy Act
12:11and Republic Act 3846,
12:14an act providing for the regulation
12:16of radio stations and radio communications
12:19in the Philippines.
12:20He refused to give a statement.
12:24Solicitor General requested the Supreme Court
12:27to trash the petition
12:29to declare the 2025 National Budget unconstitutional.
12:33In the 87th page of the OSG's comment,
12:36he refused to trash the petition
12:38due to fatal procedural defects
12:40and lack of merit.
12:42The General Appropriations Act
12:44was not violated
12:45in not giving a subsidy to PhilHealth
12:48because PhilHealth is not obligated
12:50to give a subsidy every fiscal year.
12:53According to the so-called blanks
12:55in the Bicameral Conference Committee Report,
12:57Soljen said,
12:58the enrolled bill that he approved
13:01by the two members of Congress is complete.
13:04The OSG is apologizing to the cabaret senate
13:07as well as the Executive Secretary,
13:10Lucas Versamin,
13:11who responded to the petition.
13:13The petition was discussed

15:38Succeed!
15:41Join the Pangasinan and Batangas
15:42in the GMA Masterclass Election 2025
15:45Dapat Totoo series
15:47to teach the responsibility
15:48of using social media
15:50and the power of the vote.
15:53Succeed!
15:54Si Bon Aquino.
15:57The students of the Universidad de Dagupan
15:59and other schools in North and Central Luzon
16:01were early to elect
16:03the GMA Masterclass Election 2025 series.
16:10Those who taught the youth,
16:12including GMA News Online Editor
16:14at Large and Documentarist,
16:16Javi Severino
16:17and GMA Integrated News Reporter,
16:19Joseph Morong.
16:21The media was early
16:22to become the watchdog
16:24and the speaker,
16:25especially during the election.
16:28But since the voters
16:29are the ones making the decisions,
16:31they should be able to use
16:32the correct information they get.
16:34You have the freedom of speech.
16:35You have freedom of assembly.
16:38You have freedom to vote
16:39for whoever you want.
16:41You combine that
16:42with the power of technology.
16:44Those are two different kinds of power.
16:47It gives you superpowers.
16:50That's why the importance of digital media
16:52and how to be responsible online
16:53was emphasized to the voters.
16:56Misinformation is when you share
16:59news or information
17:01that you think is right
17:03but is actually wrong
17:05because you are not informed.
17:07There is no intention.
17:08There is no bad intention.
17:09Misinformation is when you think
17:11that there is something wrong.
17:13It's important because
17:14online, people get a lot of information.
17:17Our newsroom is no longer defined
17:19by television screens
17:21but by the dynamic digital ecosystem.
17:24Bea Gomez, the beauty queen,
17:25was also an inspiration
17:26to the voters.
17:28And sportscaster and analyst,
17:30Martin Coach Hammer Antonio.
17:32Our responsibilities are not
17:34only limited to our personal lives.
17:38We also have a shared responsibility
17:41towards our community.
17:43The things that you would pick
17:46will determine not only your future
17:49but our future as a team.
17:51It is our responsibility
17:53to ensure that our voices
17:56resonate with clarity,
17:58truth, and integrity.

18:21and how to fight it.
18:23To make the listeners more aware,
18:25the effect of voting for the wrong leader
18:28in a state of many,
18:29like poverty, was emphasized.
18:31If you are tired of being poor,
18:37we would like to ask,

18:43We want to make our country
18:45and lives better.
