00:00The NBI discussed a plant in Bulacan that is owned by the Chinese.
00:05They found tons of chemicals, including chicken, in the making of the bomb.
00:11Darlene Khan was able to point it out.
00:16Under the search warrant, the NBI destroyed this plant in Marilao, Bulacan.
00:21There are people who are using chicken in the making of explosives.
00:26They found 20 tons of finished product, sodium tungstate.
00:31Sodium tungstate also has military obligations, especially for artillery and missiles.
00:38The plant workers said that the chemicals are ready for export to China and America.
00:44Other chemicals were also discovered, such as nitric acid, which is also used in the making of the bomb.
00:50We saw a lot of tungstate, nitric acid, in the making of the bomb.
00:58This is scary, it might go to the hands of the enemy.
01:03They're registered to manufacture metal alloys.
01:07The chemicals we saw, according to our chemist,
01:11are industrially not related to the manufacturing business of the plant.
01:16The NBI said that it took three months to investigate the plant.
01:20They found out that it was owned by Chinese nationals.
01:24So they will investigate how the plant was registered.
01:29Our initial findings, the corporation is owned by five Chinese,
01:36which is a biological power.
01:39It needs Filipino ownership.
01:43Chemicals in the plant are hazardous and may have a negative effect on Filipinos
01:49who have been working for seven years in the WALARO protection facility.
01:54They are now using face masks.
01:58They told me earlier that when they work inside,
02:02they will immediately cover themselves with a T-shirt.
02:04And that is very dangerous.
02:06According to the Library of Medicine of the USA, sodium tungstate is category 4 toxicity.
02:12It's the most toxic form of tungstate.
02:14And when it's hit, it will produce sodium oxide, which is highly toxic if inhaled.
02:20Three Chinese nationals were arrested.
02:22They have yet to be released.
02:24They will also be investigated by the laboratory and the chemists of the plant
02:28for the GMA Integrated News.
02:30Darlene, you have 24 hours.
02:42You have 24 hours.
