00:00Let's be together in Taksi!
00:09Let's be together in Taksi!
00:22My fellow countrymen, the campaign of the candidates for Senator and party list for the election 2025 has already begun.
00:29More than 18,000 positions will be cast in the upcoming 2025 midterm elections.
00:35There will be 12 Senators and 24 Senators sitting in the Senate.
00:42There will be 254 Congressmen in the House of Representatives.
00:48Compared to the 2022 election, General Santos City will have its own district.
00:55It will be divided into three districts in South Cotabato.
01:00There will be 63 Congressmen from the party list.
01:05The number of provinces has been added because Maguindanao is less than Maguindanao del Norte and Maguindanao del Sur.
01:12That's why the number of officials will be increased to 82 Governors.
01:18More than 16,000 positions will be cast in the City and Municipal Government Units.
01:25In total, more than 200 positions will be cast in the election compared to the 2022 election.
01:33According to the law, 65 positions will not be cast in the upcoming May elections.
01:44Comelec has denied that three of the arrested were connected to them due to the manipulation of Sure Win.
01:51The victims of the fraudulent election will receive a fine of P90 million.
01:56Not only the election of Lapitan, but also the election of 2019 and 2022.
02:02Watch Jun Veneracion.
02:07These three men were immediately arrested by PNP-CIDG.
02:12They were arrested in the Entrapment Operation where they were accused of manipulating Sure Win
02:18or the winning of a candidate for the local opposition in exchange of P90 million.
02:25You were arrested in the case of Article 293, Robbery with Threat Intimidation or Robbery Extortion.
02:33IT experts identified the suspects who have connections in Comelec and denied that they were able to manipulate the result of the election.
02:41They have offices, we saw that. They have props, we saw that.
02:46But the capacity to hack the Comelec servers, I don't think they can do that.
02:51They identified IT experts.
02:53One of them is a driver, the other one is with the arrested, and the other one is a secretary.
03:03They are just scammers.
03:05Comelec denied that the arrested were connected to them.
03:08In times like this, many people are using Sure Win to manipulate the candidates.
03:13But it's just a waste of money because Comelec can't manipulate the result of the vote.
03:19Our advice to Comelec is why don't you use those funds for campaign instead.
03:24Let's not be manipulated.
03:27The Entrapment Operation was conducted after the candidates' suspects were accused of being the mayor of Enrique Cagayan,
03:34Robert Turingan, and his son.
03:37In 2019, the suspects were the first to be accused of being the mayor of Sure Win,
03:41in exchange for P90 million.
03:43They didn't notice that they were both defeated.
03:46In 2022, they were again accused by the group.
03:50Turingan's counter-offer was P5 million.
03:53He said not to care about the result of the election in their town.
03:56Even though he gave P5 million, the mayor was still defeated.
04:00In the election of 2025, they were again accused by the group.
04:04But Turingan didn't win the election.
04:07Instead, the group will be jailed.
04:10I was able to give P2 million.
04:14But it doesn't matter because I succeeded in what I wanted.
04:24I won because I caught all of them.
04:26There was no legal answer from Comelec to the candidates who made transactions with the mayor of Mandaraya.
04:32I understood the side of the candidates.
04:35But as much as we do not have a law penalizing them.
04:40It's not like vote-buying.
04:42It's direct to the voters.
04:46If true, Comelec said, the modus of the suspects did not change.
04:50They will bring the two opponents to the election and promise victory
04:54using their connections and knowledge in information technology.
04:58This is really a doodle.
05:00One will surely lose and the other will surely win.
05:03If he wins, he will say, I'm the reason why he won.
05:06He will say to the other, you see, that's why you lost, you didn't approach me.
05:10The suspects refused to give a statement.
05:12Sir, please comment.
05:15They are facing a robbery extortion complaint.
05:18Five members of the group are looking for CIDG.
05:22For GMA Integrated News, I am Jun Veneracion, your witness.
05:27The extortion of campaign materials has already started.
05:31It does not follow the exact measure and location.
05:34But Comelec's hands are tied in some situations.
05:37Like the big billboard seen in EDSA.
05:40Witness, Sandra Aguinaldo.
05:43Comelec has been extorting illegal campaign materials in Manila.
05:48These campaign posters of some senatorial aspirants and partylists
05:52are not found in the common poster area.
05:55And it is attached to a post or electric wire.
05:58The material used is also not eco-friendly or biodegradable.
06:02In different districts in Quezon City,
06:05posters placed in public places were also removed.
06:09Posters placed in public facilities were also removed.
06:14Like street signs, traffic lights, electricity poles, and more.
06:18There are too many.
06:20We will force everyone to remove all illegal posters of the candidates.
06:24We have a lot of trucks to collect it.
06:26We will hide it here in Quezon City Hall.
06:30Later on, we will throw it away.
06:33Comelec did not remove the posters of local aspirants
06:37because their campaign period started on March 28.
06:41According to Comelec,
06:42the posters collected can be used as evidence if a case is filed.
06:47Candidates should follow the regulations
06:51so that they will not face election offense and disqualification.
06:55In the next few days, we will not be gay.
06:59In the next few days, we will write that they are the ones who will be gay.
07:03They put it there. We will have a hard time removing it.
07:06In EDSA, there are big billboards and posters of national candidates and partylists.
07:12But it cannot be considered gay because it is a private property.
07:16There are bus passengers who have campaign materials of national candidates.
07:21Comelec said that it is prohibited.
07:23And they already know who will write it.
07:26If you get a prank case,
07:28for example, those buses,
07:31they cannot claim that they are purely private property.
07:35It is true that they are private property,
07:37but the nature of these buses has become public.
07:40The campaign materials are also gay
07:43that are not included in the common poster areas in Lapo-Lapo City, Cebu,
07:48Iloilo City,
07:50and Bacolod City,
07:51Maguing, Mindanao,
07:53Davao City,
07:54Kidapawan City, Cotabato,
07:56and Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental.
08:00According to Comelec,
08:01in common poster areas only, posters can be printed.
08:05It can also be done in private areas as long as the owner has permission.
08:09The campaign materials also have the right size.
08:12If it is a poster, it should not exceed 2x3 feet.
08:16If it is a streamer, it should be 3x8 feet.
08:19Candidates can also have billboards,
08:21said Comelec,
08:22but there is a limit of up to two months for the national candidate
08:27and up to one month for the local candidate.
08:31Billboards are not allowed.
08:33The Philippine Government is not allowed to use campaign ads and materials,
08:38said the National Historical Commission of the Philippines.
08:41Give respect and importance to our government.
08:45Candidates can use social media,
08:48AI or artificial intelligence,
08:50and internet technology,
08:53but the use should be responsible.
08:56We passed an end-point resolution on the guidelines or regulations of social media,
09:02AI, deepfakes, softfakes, and such other kinds of fakes.
09:06If it is AI, it should be clear and disclosed in the campaign material.
09:12But deepfakes, cheapfakes, and softfakes are not allowed.
09:17Candidates in Comelec should also register their social media account
09:22that they will use in the campaign.
09:24Fake and unregistered accounts are not allowed.
09:27Misinformation, disinformation, and fake news are also not allowed.
09:32For GMA Integrated News, I'm Sandra Aguinaldo, your witness.
09:39A warehouse in Bulacan is being run
09:42to sell more expensive old rice.
09:45They mix different kinds of rice
09:48in a container of perfume.
09:51Witness, John Consulta.
09:55The NBI Special Task Force and Cybercrime Division
09:58have received imported rice
10:00when this warehouse entered Bulacan.
10:03But the rice is from the mountains,
10:05from old chickens.
10:06They mix different kinds of rice
10:09in a container of perfume.
10:12They will pass it as expensive rice, class A rice.
10:16Our people are being deceived.
10:18It's all fake and fake news.
10:20It's all fake and fake news.
10:22We can see that it's hoarding.
10:24It's a clear manifestation of hoarding.
10:26It's very dangerous.
10:28We don't know if it's for people's safety
10:30or if the rice is just for pigs.
10:32This is how many rice containers
10:35that the NBI received
10:38from their raided warehouse here in Bulacan.
10:41But according to the agents,
10:43this is where the company's secrets are hidden
10:46because some of the rice here
10:49is just like the one below.
10:51We can see that its crop year
10:53and date of milling
10:55is February 2023,
10:57two years ago.
10:59And the evidence that this is old
11:01is that we can see that some bags
11:04have discoloration
11:07or the rice is rotting.
11:09There are discoloring equipment
11:11used in the operation.
11:13According to the NBI,
11:14an informant from Tibre
11:16who has been in the warehouse for several years
11:18imported rice
11:20from other countries.
11:23Some are from Vietnam,
11:25some are from Pakistan,
11:26some are from India.
11:27When we checked last night,
11:30their machine
11:31has different varieties of rice.
11:34They mix it.
11:36And the result is this,
11:38coco pandan.
11:39We assume that this is mixed with different varieties
11:42and they sell it at a higher price
11:44compared to the mixed rice.
11:48They are also checking
11:49if it is legal to hold
11:50the imported rice of the company.
11:52The official of the company
11:53refused the coco pandan.
11:55It's not mixed.
11:56They said it's mixed.
11:57They're just cleaning it.
11:58No, it's not.
11:59It's mixed rice.
12:00Sir, I told you,
12:01I was arrested in the ring.
12:02I'm speaking the truth.
12:04It's not mixed.
12:05If it's proven that the rice is mixed,
12:08the charges will be answered.
12:09Hoarding,
12:10adulterating,
12:11profiteering,
12:12untruthful labeling,
12:14and economic sabotage.
12:16We will check with the local government
12:18of Bukawi, Bulacan
12:20who owns this warehouse.
12:24And we will file appropriate charges against them.
12:2855 pesos per kilo
12:29is the maximum suggested retail price
12:31of imported rice.
12:33But starting on February 15,
12:34it will be lowered by the Department of Agriculture
12:37to 52 pesos.
12:38The target is to lower it to 49 pesos.
12:41According to Agriculture,
12:43Secretary Francisco Chu Laurel Jr.,
12:45this is in accordance with the price of rice
12:47in the world market
12:48and the approval of President Bombo Marcos
12:50of the TARIPA.
12:51There is also a reduced price
12:53under President Rice for All Program
12:55starting tomorrow.
12:5643 pesos per kilo
12:59of RFA5 and RFA25
13:02while RFA100 is 33 pesos.
13:05The price of rice will remain at 29 pesos
13:07for vulnerable groups
13:09and indigent sectors.
13:10The D.A. also plans to implement MSRP
13:13at the price of pork
13:14at the end of February.
13:16For JMA Integrated News,
13:18I am John Consulta,
13:20your witness.
13:22The campaign for the election of 2025 will start.

21:52Meralco has 28 cents

21:56this February.
21:58Because of the generation charge,
22:00the independent power producers
22:02increased the price
22:04of their electricity.
22:06Consumers were also affected
22:08by a loss of P1
22:10from power supply agreements
22:12or power supply contracts.
22:14This eliminated
22:16the low price of electricity
