00:00PLEASANT EVENING, GREETINGS, ONE AND ALL, SHARMS ISPINA HERE, HOMEGROWN AND GLAD TO

00:07BRING YOU PTV NEWS NOW.

00:09SO LET'S GET STARTED WITH WHAT PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW.

00:14THE AFP CHIEF OF STAFF'S LATEST STATEMENT ON OFW'S IN TAIWAN.

00:18IT WAS A STATEMENT THE COUNTRY'S TOP SOLDIER ISSUED TO HIS MEN IN THE NORTHERN LAUSANNE

00:22COMMAND YESTERDAY FOR CONTINGENCY AND PREPARATORY PURPOSES.

00:26THE CHINESE FOREIGN MINISTRY SPOKESPERSON QUICKLY SPUN TO MEAN AS INTERVENING OR ENCROACHING

00:32INTO CHINA'S AFFAIRS WITH A WARNING IN THE END.

00:35THIS AFTERNOON, THE EXECUTIVE SECRETARY LUKAS BERSEMEN BELIED CHINA'S FALSE CLAIMS AND MADE

00:40IT CRYSTAL CLEAR WHAT THE AFP CHIEF OF STAFF SAID AND MEANT.

00:44HE SAID AFP CHIEF OF STAFF GENERAL ROMEO BRAUN REMINDED HIS MEN AT THE NORTHERN LAUSANNE

00:49COMMAND TO BE READY AT ALL TIMES FOR A CHINESE INVASION OF TAIWAN.

00:53TO ASSIST IN THE REPATRIATION OF TENS OF THOUSANDS OF FILIPINO MIGRANT WORKERS IN THE

00:58EVENT CHINA MAKES GOOD ON ITS REPEATED THREATS AND VOW TO SOMEDAY CLAIM TAIWAN AS PART OF

01:04THE MAINLAND.

01:06IN NO PART OF BRAUNER'S STATEMENT DID HE SUGGEST, ALLUDE OR INSINUATE BY ANY MEANS, SHAPE OR

01:10FORM TO HELP TAIWAN MILITARILY IN THE EVENT OF AN ARM TAKED OVER.

01:14INSTEAD, THE AFP CHIEF OF STAFF TOLD HIS NORTHERN COMMAND OFFICERS AND PERSONNEL TO BE READY

01:19FOR A MASSIVE REPATRIATION OF TENS OF THOUSANDS OF MIGRANT FILIPINO WORKERS MAKING A LIVING

01:25IN THE SOUTH RULED ISLAND.

01:27FOR ITS PART, THE AFP REINFORCED ITS COMMANDER'S PRONOUNCEMENT YESTERDAY, SAYING BRAUNER'S

01:32STATEMENT YESTERDAY FOCUSED ON PREPAREDNESS AND IS ANCHORED ON THE MILITARY'S FUNDAMENTAL

01:37MANDATE AND DUTY TO PROTECT THE FILIPINO PEOPLE AND SECURE THE NATION'S TERRITORY.

01:42HENCE, NO CAUSE FOR ALARM OVER BRAUNER'S STATEMENT YESTERDAY.

01:48IT IS STILL HARVEST TIME OR SEASON IN SALONETS VALLEY IN CENTRAL CALIFORNIA.

01:53AMERICA'S SALAD BOWL WHICH PRODUCES A THIRD OF THE COUNTRY'S STRAWBERRIES AND A LARGE

01:57SHARE OF FRUITS AND PRODUCE.

01:59THEN AGAIN, A LOT OF FARM WORKERS WHO ARE UNDOCUMENTED DO NOT SHOW UP FOR FEAR OF BEING

02:04ROUNDED UP AND SENT BACK FROM WHENCE THEY CAME.

02:07B-U-A'S JANIA DULAT HAS THEIR STORY.

02:12JANIA DULAT IS AN UNDOCUMENTED FARM WORKER IN CALIFORNIA WHO DOES NOT WANT TO SHOW HER

02:18FACE OR SHARE HER LAST NAME FOR FEAR OF DEPORTATION.

02:22SHE SAYS SHE WAS ON HER WAY TO WORK EARLIER THIS YEAR WHEN AGENTS FROM IMMIGRATION AND

02:28CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT OR ICE STARTED ROUNDING UP UNDOCUMENTED MIGRANTS AROUND THE CITY OF

02:35BAKERSFIELD.

02:36That was on Tuesday when they started the raids, and on Wednesday we didn't go out

02:44because we were scared.

02:46We heard and saw the whole day that ICE was being very active.

02:49They were in the key places where all the farm workers have to go through, where the

02:53citrus groves are, so the next day I didn't go to work because I was scared.

02:59UNITED FARM WORKERS UNION PRESIDENT TERESA ROMERO SAYS TWO OF THEIR MEMBERS WERE DETAINED.

03:06The farm workers that were deported have been here working for 15, 20 years.

03:11They don't even have a parking ticket.

03:13They were stopped in the street.

03:15It's not that they had a warrant against a specific person.

03:19They were just stopped by unmarked vehicles going home from work.

03:24WHILE THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION SAYS THESE FIRST MIGRANT ROUNDUPS WILL FOCUS ON SUSPECTED

03:30CRIMINALS, U.S. BORDER CZAR TOM HOMAN SAYS IT IS ONLY THE BEGINNING.

03:36As the aperture opens up beyond criminals, you're going to see more arrests.

03:39I've made it clear.

03:40If you're in the country legally, you're not off the table.

03:42IN BAKERSFIELD, RESIDENT JAMES MILLER SAYS DEPORTATIONS MAY CREATE A SHORTAGE OF FIELD

03:49WORKERS HERE, BUT IMMIGRATION AGENTS MUST ENFORCE THE LAW.

03:53I think it's misleading when it was interpreted that they were going to raid the schools.

03:58So they have a job to do, and they should do it.

04:02Is it going to impact us?

04:04Probably so.

04:05BORDER RESIDENT JP AVALOS SAYS THE ECONOMIC IMPACT HERE MAY BE SIGNIFICANT.

04:11We'll see two, three months' time when the Latinos, when this happens and they kick them

04:16out, let's see what your food costs are and what you guys got to do to get that, you know?

04:20NEIGHBORING VENTURA COUNTY HAS ALSO SEEN EMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT RAIDS UNDER THE NEW ADMINISTRATION.

04:28MORE THAN 80 PERCENT OF FIELD HARVESTERS HERE ARE UNDOCUMENTED MIGRANTS, ACCORDING TO ESTIMATES.

04:35BY THE NON-PROFIT FARM BUREAU OF VENTURA COUNTY.

04:39MAUREEN MAGUIRE IS THE BUREAU'S CEO.

04:42If we have mass deportation and we lose the labor force that harvests, there will be a

04:48lower supply of food for those individual commodities that are affected.

04:55And then the grocery stores will be in competition for who gets that limited resource.

05:00That will drive the prices up.

05:02ALEJANDRA SAYS SHE WENT BACK TO WORK PICKING CARROTS A FEW DAYS AFTER THE ROUNDUPS, BUT

05:08IS KEEPING HERSELF AND HER U.S. BORN SON OUT OF PUBLIC PLACES IN HOPES OF AVOIDING IMMIGRATION

05:15AGENTS.

05:16JENNY ADULO, VOA NEWS, BAKERSFIELD, CALIFORNIA.

05:26Right now, let's listen to my colleague in PTV's Baggio City studios for what's hot and

05:30happening in the Cordilleras.

05:31Audrey?

07:50Many thanks, Audrey, and so we've come to the end of the show.
