00:00We will all be together.
00:08Taxi!
00:15A man who is a hostage to his younger brother in Manila has been found.
00:21The suspect admitted that he used drugs.
00:23Taxi!
00:24Jonathan is on his way.
00:30The man was armed with a knife in one of his hands,
00:33while one of his hands was clipped by the man who was being hostaged.
00:39The hostage seemed to be talking to the hostage taker.
00:44He was repeatedly stabbing him with a sharp knife.
00:48They were surrounded by the police.
00:53The 28-year-old victim is the younger brother of the 30-year-old hostage taker.
00:59It took more than half an hour for the tense encounter that took place yesterday in Tondo, Manila.
01:06The suspect gave up when his mother arrived.
01:09I believe in you.
01:11I believe in you.
01:12Let's go.
01:13Come with me.
01:14When his mother arrived, they immediately started crying.
01:18He also gave up his knife.
01:20He surrendered himself.
01:23The suspect explained that he was a hostage because he did not want to be taken by the Pakyapo brothers.
01:30He said that he wanted to move to another place because someone was watching his life in their place in Tondo.
01:37What can I do? If I was taken to our place, I will be killed.
01:40Of course, I can't leave alone because they are also waiting for me.
01:45Because his brother was in the hospital taking care of his sick wife, he could not be taken to the Pakyapo.
01:55The suspect admitted that he was drugged when he was a hostage.
02:02According to the police, the suspect was jailed for illegal drugs and robbery snatching.
02:07He blames himself for what he did.
02:09My brother did that to me.
02:11I'm sorry. I hope my brother will forgive me.
02:15The police also added that the victim was not injured but the brother was decidedly charged.
02:20They want to teach their brother a lesson.
02:25The suspect will face grave threat, grave coercion, alarms and scandal, and illegal possession of a bladed weapon.
02:32For GMA Integrated News, I'm Jonathan Andal, your witness.
02:37Now, accidents that involve motorcycles are increasing.
02:42There are people who are doing intensive training for the riders.
02:45The problem of some riders is that it's heavy in their pockets.
02:49Witness, Joseph Moro.
02:55A motorcycle rider fell on the side of Quezon Avenue in Quezon City after crashing into a taxi earlier this morning.
03:03He was rushed to the hospital after he was injured.
03:07When he hit me, I said, why did I fall? I was on the right lane.
03:14Another rider in Cagayan de Oro City was even more shocked because he was at home when he fell on a truck.
03:21A driver was also killed after his motorcycle was hit by a mini dump truck in Toledo, Cebu last week.
03:30Those are just a few of the motorcycle accidents that are reported in the first half of 2024.
03:36The average number of motorcycle accidents in Metro Manila is more than 2,000.
03:42That's equivalent to 57 accidents per day.
03:46In 2023, the highest number of motorcycle accidents were reported.
03:52Of course, as the population of motorcycles grows,
03:56the accident rate will naturally increase.
04:01There are already 7 million motorcycles registered in the country based on the latest data from the Land Transportation Office.
04:09But this is still a small number compared to other countries in Southeast Asia like Vietnam,
04:14where more than 72 million motorcycles were registered in 2020.
04:20There are more motorcycles and accidents,
04:23which is why the motorcycle training sector itself is finding a solution.
04:28But the problem is that it is heavy in the pockets of the majority.
04:31It's just a small number.
04:32How many motorcycles did you see?
04:34Around 2,000.
04:36Around 4,000.
04:40That's enough.
04:41That's enough?
04:42Yes, that's enough.
04:44Until now, how many legitimate driving schools are there in the Philippines?
04:50For motorcycles?
04:52You can enroll for free on the MMDA website.
04:56And because there is a proposed law to make motorcycles for hire app a legal public utility vehicle,
05:02proper training is important.
05:04Meanwhile, the motorcycle sector asked for a consultation with the transportation department
05:10so that they can use the bike lane once the EDSA Rehabilitation starts.
05:14For GMA Integrated News, Joseph Morong is your witness.
05:20General Manager of the MRT-3, Oscar Bongon, was removed from his position.
05:24No details were given on Bongon's departure,
05:27but the Department of Transportation submitted a list of possible changes to him
05:32based on the Superadjunct PC-B.
05:35The DOTR is still waiting for Malacanang's confirmation on this matter.
05:39More than a week has passed since 10 passengers were injured
05:43after the escalator at the EDSA Taft Station collided twice.
05:49A child was injured when his parents sent him to Cebu City.
05:54A police officer boxed two minors in Iloilo City.
06:00Kim Salinas of GMA Regional TV is your witness.
06:05Stop! Stop!
06:08That boxing match lasted for a few minutes in West Hambog-Hambog in Molo, Iloilo City.
06:14The spectators were around them and some were even cheering.
06:19The punch was exchanged between a 15-year-old girl and a 14-year-old woman
06:25from the LGBTQIA community.
06:28They were boxed by a barangay officer
06:31because the fight between the two was unstoppable.
06:35The officer defended them.
06:43But this type of discipline was not liked by the children of the two minors.
06:49They were also injured in the knee and the female minor was injured.
06:54They were even wearing gloves to protect themselves.
06:57They didn't do anything to the child.
06:59The child was a girl.
07:01The boy was a boy.
07:03I just kicked him.
07:05I told him to stop.
07:06There are people of all ages here.
07:09Of course, I was the one who did it.
07:11I don't want any more passengers.
07:13I'm already married.
07:14I don't have a husband anymore.
07:16The barangay officer was called and told not to do it again.
07:22The two minors were placed under rehabilitative counselling.
07:27A complaint of trafficking in person was being prepared against the parents
07:31who sold their child to a prostitute in Cebu City.
07:34They said they saw an accident.
07:37This is the story of one of their children in his game.
07:40The children were very angry.
07:42They said,
07:43Out!
07:44They said,
07:45Your child is in the hospital.
07:46They said,
07:47They have a cell phone.
07:48I gave him 20,000 Pesos.
07:51They said,
07:52You're going to pay for it.
07:53You're going to pay for the children.
07:54They said,
07:55You're going to pay for it.
07:57You're going to pay for the seventh child.
08:00According to the police,
08:01they came out of their investigation
08:03that this was the second time the mother did it.
08:05According to the middleman,
08:07the child was sold for 57,000 Pesos.
08:1030,000 Pesos went to the mother.
08:13The buyer is now being sued.
08:16It's quite an unfortunate and very saddening story indeed.
08:20This did not happen once.
08:23It happened a few times.
08:42For GMA Integrated News,
08:44I am Kim Salinas of GMA Regional TV.
08:47Your Saksi.
08:50The leader of the group
08:52that sells drugs in Angono, Rizal was arrested.
09:02Before he was arrested,
09:03the drug buy-bust operation was carried out by Angono Police.
09:08Their target,
09:10alias Lolo,
09:12was shot by the police.
09:15In the middle of the encounter,
09:17the male target was shot in the arm.
09:19The police recovered three packages of the drug,
09:23as well as the 38-caliber gun used by the suspect.
09:28Next,
09:29the husband of alias Lolo was arrested
09:31for the act of selling drugs to his wife.
09:35The wife was also arrested.
09:38Alias Lolo defended the drugs,
09:40as well as the gun,
09:42and said that he was just taught
09:44when he fought on the ground.
09:46His wife and other arrested suspects
09:48refused to give their statement.
