00:00The hearing of the camera about the fake news was tensed.
00:04The judges criticized some questionable posts of the so-called vloggers and social media personalities.
00:12Witness, Ian Cruz.
00:18Ten social media personalities attended the third hearing of the so-called House Try Committee
00:23that investigated the fake news.
00:25Chrisette Lauretta Chiu posted about her statement on Facebook
00:29that there are police and military who will resign because of the arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte.
00:34It was seen by the PNP leader who attended the hearing and by the congressmen.
00:40Lauretta Chiu admitted that she only got the information she posted on social media.
00:56Sir, I will not apologize only because if you read the entire post, it was to support the PNP.
01:04Chiu also mentioned a post in December where she called the government stupid
01:09because of giving aid and loans.
01:12I'm asking you where did you get this from?
01:16You only got it from the news. You don't have any documents.
01:20Sir, it's in the news.
01:21How can you say that the government is stupid?
01:23My goodness, you're going to base your statement that the government is stupid
01:29on the news that you read, Mr. Chair?
01:32And then you're telling me you're a journalist?
01:34And you're telling me that you're speaking the truth?
01:37Mr. Chair, respectfully, those are my feelings.
01:41Because we gave the money to ACT-A
01:44Therefore, if that's your feeling, Mr. Chair, I demand that you apologize to this committee.
01:49I will apologize, Mr. Chair, for my bad words.
01:54I apologize for my bad words, sir.
01:57I apologize for saying the word stupid in my post.
02:01Mary Gino M.J. Cambau-Reyes was questioned about her post
02:05that the victims of extrajudicial killing are big liars.
02:09But the judges confirmed that the victims of the killings
02:13and the Commission on Human Rights in the hearing of the Quad Committee
02:16are the ones involved in the EJK.
02:18If you do not apologize right now, you listen.
02:21Yes, your honor.
02:22If you do not apologize, I am going to make a motion to hold you in contempt.
02:27I apologize, sir.
02:29And like I said earlier, next time, we will look for undergrowth.
02:40We will not rely on the news.
02:45That's what non-fake news means.
02:48I hope that next time, you bloggers, don't just give opinions and impressions.
02:56Give us the truth and we will comment on it.
02:59I am insulted with your statement.
03:02Again, my apologies, sir.
03:04The so-called criminal forces, we are with them.
03:08You should think about it.
03:12This is hard, Mr. Chair.
03:14These bloggers are stupid.
03:17The government is stupid.
03:22You should think about it.
03:24I want to say this publicly, Mr. Chair.
03:27You are stupid.
03:29That's my tears and the lack of courage to apologize.
03:37It's coming from the fact that I don't want to be contempted.
03:41I don't want to be detained because I have two critical conditions,
03:46mother and mother-in-law.
03:48Philippine Coast Guard Spokesperson Commodore J. Taniela
03:52confronted the blogger, Mark Lopez,
03:54who said in his post that he is a taxi driver in the country and he is a regular in America.
03:59This is a good example of how, like Mr. Lopez,
04:03is countering our factual narrative in the West Philippine Sea.
04:07And this is the reason why we need to counter fake news purveyors like Mr. Mark Lopez
04:13spreading wrong information.
04:15What do you mean that the Philippines is using water cannon?
04:18Mr. Chair, what I said is that the Philippines is using water cannon.
04:22They can use water cannon.
04:24No, they can't.
04:26You said they can use water cannon.
04:28Mr. Chair, I will apologize.
04:31I am wrong. I am fake news.
04:34For GMA Integrated News, I am Ian Cruz, your witness.
04:39Manibela's three-day transport strike is expected to start
04:43at a distance of 1,000 jeeps and UV Express from different parts of the country.
04:48But before that, they protested earlier.
04:51Witness, Joseph Moro.
04:54Manibela's group already tested their three-day transport strike starting Monday
05:01in Pasig, Caloocan, and Las Pinas.
05:04They protested against the incorrect number of jeeps of the driver and operator
05:09consolidated under the PUV Modernization Program or PUVMP.
05:14According to the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board or LTFRB,
05:20among consolidated jeeps.
05:22Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon clearly stated that
05:26only 40% of the consolidated units were approved.
05:30The 86% that they approved, or the 43%,
05:35many of them were denied the application,
05:38and their papers were returned.
05:42They were not consolidated, and most of all, they were just spent.
05:48Because of their insolence, they asked the DOTR,
05:52Chairman Joffrey Lugwadis III, and other LTFRB officials to step down.
05:57We continue to get the statement of Lugwadis.
06:00According to Manibela's group, this is a three-day non-stop strike
06:04that will be held in different parts of the country starting Monday.
06:08In total, more than 100,000 units of jeeps and UV Express.
06:14We will not be able to do that.
06:16We will listen to our computers so that they won't have a hard time.
06:21We will not be able to do that.
06:23The group of Pistons, who are also members of the PUV Modernization Program,
06:26did not join the non-stop strike.
06:29Earlier, Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon faced them
06:33while protesting in his office against the PUVMP.
06:38The Pistons also complained that they were not allowed to review
06:41their professional authority to those who did not follow it.
06:45Like Manibela's group, the Pistons asked them to allow them
06:48to review their professional authority for five years.
06:52According to the Pistons, this will be studied by the DOTR.
06:55For GMA Integrated News, Joseph Morong is your witness.
07:00My fellow countrymen, there are many places where it is possible to rain this weekend.
07:03Based on the data of Metro Weather, there is a chance of rain tomorrow
07:06in Palawan, Mindoro Provinces, and Quezon.
07:09It is also possible to rain in some parts of Visayas and Ninanaw,
07:12especially in the Summer and Later Provinces, Caraga, and Sulu Archipelago.
07:17There are also chances of rain on Sundays, but it is more likely to rain in the afternoons
07:21in Southern Luzon, Visayas, and Ninanaw.
07:24In Metro Manila, there is a low chance of rain.
07:27According to the forecast, it is possible to have a 43 degree Celsius heat index
07:32in Dagupan, Pangasinan, and Cotabato City this weekend.
07:36Meanwhile, it is not yet official that the heat index is rising
07:39despite the high heat index in some places.
07:43According to the forecast, the heat will not be as high this year as it was in 2024.
07:50Mark Salazar is your witness.
07:55There are places where the Summer or Dry Season feels early.
07:59In Dabao, there is a 39 to 40 degree Celsius heat index.
08:05It is at the extreme caution level.
08:08Dabao residents should always drink water or wear sunscreen.
08:14Do not go out too much because you may get dehydrated.
08:19Avoid going out because of the impact of the high heat index,
08:26heat cramps, heat exhaustion, or there are chances of heat stroke.
08:37In Ilocos Norte, there are rice and mung beans that suffer from heat
08:43and lack of water in the irrigation system.
08:50Despite the high heat and dry season in various places,
08:54we are still in the Summer or Dry Season.
08:56We still have the Summer or Dry Season until March 24-25.
09:01There are still a few surges of Summer or Dry Season.
09:05Eventually, before the end of the month, it is possible that the heat will terminate
09:10and possibly our warm and dry season will start.
09:13Last year, the heat index reached 52 degrees Celsius or extreme danger.
09:20The good news is that we will not experience that now.
09:24Even the WMO has reported that 2024 is the warmest year.
09:31It's because the El Nino during that time was affecting us.
09:35We did not see the El Nino develop again.
09:38But of course, we should expect and be extra careful
09:42with the heat that is at the danger level of 42 degrees Celsius or higher in some places.
09:47If the heat index is said to be 27 to 32 degrees Celsius,
09:52this is not the observed temperature.
09:54This is a caution.
09:55It means that those who are exposed may feel cramps or may be affected.
10:03They may also have difficulty breathing.
10:07Now, if it is 31 to 41 degrees Celsius, this is what the schools and LGUs are warning about
10:12because it is already in extreme caution.
10:14They may suspend classes in their area.
10:17They will experience severe heat cramps and it will be more difficult for them to breathe.
10:24If it is 32 to 51, this is our danger.
10:27Continuous exposure may lead to heat stroke.
10:33This is possible.
10:34Extreme danger, especially for the elderly, children, PWDs and our workforce outside,
10:45heat stroke is very possible.
10:48A reminder, avoid outdoor physical activities in the afternoons until before the afternoon.
10:53Wear comfortable clothes and hydrate.
10:56The elderly and children, like those in schools, should be more careful.
11:01The school authorities are encouraging people to feel the heat index in their area
11:08to decide for themselves if there is a class or not.
11:12For GMA Integrated News,
11:14I am Mark Salazar, your eyewitness.
11:19Four suspects are being chased in a hold-up by a man in Cebu City.
11:24In the CCTV footage, the victim saw him walking.
11:28Suddenly, the suspects followed him.
11:30They were riding two motorcycles.
11:32One of them went down and took the victim's cellphone and bag.
11:35He snatched the bag,
11:39returned to the motorcycle,
11:44and ran away.
11:46The suspect's face was not seen because of the full-face helmet.
11:50But in a police investigation,
11:52one of the suspects was found to be involved in illegal drugs.
11:56Eight signal jammers were arrested and two SIM card modem pools were sold.
12:03These could be used for online scamming.
12:07Witness, Mackie Pulido.
12:10For P3,500 to P6,500,
12:13these SIM card modem pools are sold online.
12:17The four devices can text-blast almost 100 text messages with a click of a button.
12:23It is used for phishing or sending text messages with a link
12:27to get the victim's personal information for online scamming.
12:31According to the PNPACG,
12:33it was slid by an electronic device.
12:36According to the PNPACG,
12:38it was slid by an electronic device.
12:41It was locked and sold online.
12:43Maybe because he lost his job,
12:45he was able to get these machines.
12:49Just to have money,
12:52he sold them at a low price.
12:54P3,500 to P6,500,
12:565 to 10 meters,
12:58P52,000 to P6,500,
13:00500 square meters.
13:02These signal jammers,
13:05the ones we caught,
13:07they were ordered here in China.
13:09And then they are reselling these online.
13:12The PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group monitored the sale
13:15so they conducted a separate buy-bust operation.
13:18Eight people were arrested for selling signal jammers in Pasig City.
13:22Two people were arrested for selling SIM card modem pools in Muntinlupa.
13:27They will be charged with violating the Anti-Cybercrime Law.
13:30These devices are highly regulated
13:32and they need permission from the National Telecommunication Commission
13:36to be sold and used.
13:38Eventually, these devices will be used in crime.
13:42So why not disrupt them while they are not being used?
13:46We know that there are many victims of scams
13:51using these machines.
13:53So why should we wait for them to commit a scam?
13:57For GMA Integrated News,
13:59I am Mackie Pulido,

16:30The price of the egg in their family has increased
16:32based on the monitoring of the Department of Agriculture.
16:35From the prevailing price of 8 pesos,
16:37the price has reached 9 pesos for each medium-sized egg.
16:42According to the Philippine Egg Board Association,
16:44the high price is due to the increasing demand and high consumption.
16:48The farm gate price of the egg is up to 6 pesos and 80 centavos.
16:52That's why it can reach up to 2 pesos per egg for its price.
16:57But there are some stores that sell these for up to 10 pesos.
