00:00Let's go!
00:06Together we will be...
00:07SACSI!
00:15Before the SACSI,
00:16two men were arrested after they were caught
00:18driving more than P700 million pesos worth of shabu in Cavite.
00:23I'm investigating if there's a bigger personality behind the arrest.
00:27And SACSI Live, I'm Mico Juaez.
00:30Mico?
00:33Pia, more than P740 million pesos worth of shabu
00:37was found by the PNP Drug Enforcement Group or PDEG
00:40in a house inside a subdivision here in Imus, Cavite.
00:47The food for the fish was placed in a bag
00:50of 110 of this plastic,
00:52which was sealed in four bags.
00:54But when the inside of each plastic was opened,
00:57the shabu was found.
00:59It was found by the PNP Drug Enforcement Group or PDEG
01:02in a so-called by-bust operation
01:04in a house inside a subdivision in Imus, Cavite.
01:07All 110 kilos were found
01:09worth more than P748 million pesos worth of street value.
01:13They spread it here in the area of PRO4A,
01:16in the neighboring cities of Imus.
01:20Two men were arrested in the operation
01:22who refused to give a statement.
01:24PDEG will check if the last suspects have previous cases.
01:28They've been investigating this for a month
01:30after someone reported their operation to PDEG.
01:33They've been staying here for a year
01:35and we investigated that there's a bigger one behind them
01:39because they were trusted by their alleged supplier.
01:43They're like the second layer of the supply chain
01:46of illegal drugs here in our county.
01:53Pia, another operation was done by PDEG
01:56here in Imus, Cavite
01:58that we almost caught at the same time.
02:01Four kilos of illegal drugs were found
02:04worth more than P27 million pesos worth of street value.
02:08And live from Imus, Cavite,
02:10for GMA Integrated News,
02:12Nico Jae, your eyewitness.
02:15Dismissed Mayor Alice Guo waited for more than three months
02:18to face the Senate,
02:19but it was hard to get an answer to some of the senators' questions.
02:23And in the repeated failure to answer the questions,
02:26Guo was cited in contempt again.
02:29Our eyewitness, Sandra Aguinaldo.
02:34Who really helped Alice Guo to get out of the Philippines?
02:38It was hard to get an answer from Guo
02:41when she faced the Senate earlier.
02:43Guo said that they left Manila on a yacht
02:47with Sheila and Wesley Guo.
02:50They were accompanied on a trip from Asia.
02:53They didn't have a cell phone then.
02:56They boarded a ship that sailed for four days
02:59and boarded a smaller boat to Malaysia.
03:03The trip was free,
03:05and Guo insisted that she didn't have any responsibility to get out of the country.
03:09But when the senators asked who gave them the yacht,
03:13Who facilitated you to use the yacht?
03:17Madam Chair, I really want to say
03:19but I can't say it in public.
03:21I'm really scared.
03:23Ms. Alice, our patience is running out.
03:26I hope you can understand that I'm really scared.
03:29I really want to discuss it.
03:31So you really want to say it to us.
03:34You're already stammering.
03:35You're already giggling.
03:36The name written by Alice Guo on the paper
03:39was not shown to the media,
03:41but the senators said,
03:42The person you wrote is a holder of five passports.
03:46Why did he or she facilitate your escape?
03:50Maybe he or she is guilty.
03:53What's happening to me now?
03:55Is this the name you wrote on the paper?
03:58Is this what happened in your life?
04:00Is this what happened in your life?
04:02Last time, it's not exactly,
04:05but I heard something.
04:07What did you hear?
04:09Sen, I refuse to answer for my safety.
04:13Did you escape or were you escaped?
04:17Sen, he initiated, but along the way...
04:21So he escaped you.
04:22Along the way, we weren't together.
04:25Isn't this your mastermind?
04:27Is this the mastermind of all of this?
04:28Is this your boss?
04:29This person?
04:30Sen, I don't have a boss.
04:32Okay, so...
04:33You're the big boss of all POGO in Bamban?
04:36I'm also not the big boss of Bamban.
04:39When Ms. Moniguo confessed,
04:41she was furious that she escaped to Malaysia.
04:43That's why the Senators decided that
04:45Ms. Moniguo is already in the Philippines
04:47to file a complaint against her in Laisay
04:50in the complaint of Qualified Human Trafficking
04:52in front of the notary public,
04:54which is Attorney Elmer Galicia.
04:56I'm just asking you, Ms. Alice.
04:58Do you know Attorney Galicia?
05:00Sen, I'll just talk to him.
05:02My counsel is late.
05:03My God.
05:04Allow me your honor to...
05:08to claim the confidentiality of the Executive Session.
05:14The Executive Session, like what was said earlier,
05:18has something to do with national security
05:21and public safety.
05:24The discussion of whether or not you know Mayor Alice
05:28has nothing to do with what I know.
05:30According to Sheila Gona,
05:33Alice's first cousin,
05:35even though they are not real siblings,
05:38Sheila's father, Alice's father,
05:40considers them as real siblings.
05:42Yet Ms. Moniguo is just a friend
05:44of Mayor Lizeldo Calugay,
05:47who was impeached by the Senate
05:49after not being able to attend the Senate hearing.
05:53GMA Integrated News went to the municipality of Suwal
05:56to get his statement,
05:58but he did not go in because of the dengue fever.
06:02We are just friends.
06:03Sir, he is not my boyfriend.
06:05Guo was also asked about his acquaintance.
06:10His fingerprints match
06:12one of Guo Huaping,
06:14according to the investigation of the NBI.
06:16For your own sake,
06:17and for the sake of our committee,
06:20just one last time on this very simple fundamental question.
06:24Are you Guo Huaping?
06:27Madam Chair, I am not confirming.
06:30There is a case filed against me.
06:33I will answer to the court.
06:35The Senate has a right to know
06:37who we are talking to.
06:39Is it the real person we think or someone else?
06:41Madam Chair, I am Alice Guo.
06:43We have proven that you are not Alice Guo.
06:47You are the real Guo Huaping.
06:50It is not just the committee that reached this conclusion,
06:53but the NBI itself and another agency.
06:56There are many questions that Guo did not answer.
06:59My question is,
07:01you have a monitor in front of you.
07:03You can see the page of the passport.
07:05Is that you in that photo?
07:07I'm not asking your name.
07:08Madam Chair, I have a pending case against me.
07:11You answer.
07:13He repeatedly invoked his right against self-incrimination
07:17and created a barrier in his life
07:19so he cannot answer the questions.
07:22Madam Chair, that answer is unacceptable.
07:25If you raise your voice against us,
07:28if you raise your voice against us,
07:30if you raise your voice against us,
07:32you will say that you have a death threat
07:33and you cannot say where your death threat came from.
07:35Ms. Alice, I am reminding you,
07:37you never raised security concerns to the committee before.
07:41This is the only time you were arrested and transferred here.
07:44After the session, after the hearing,
07:47what will happen to me?
07:49Let's take a look at the second case.
07:51The former mayor was cited in contempt.
07:54I move to cite Guo Huaping, also known as Alice Guo,
07:58in contempt of the Senate.
08:00You will remain in the custody of the Senate
08:03until the conclusion of this committee's inquiry
08:06or until you finally recognize the authority of this body
08:10and grant even a semblance of respect for the laws of this country.
08:15The committee will coordinate with any court.
08:18Senate Majority Leader Francis Tolentino said
08:21that Guo should be in the custody of the Senate and not the Tarlac RTC.
08:26He believes that the arrest warrant of the Tarlac RTC Branch 109
08:32is invalid, based on Guo's current appointment
08:35to the PNP Custodial Center in Camp Crame.
08:38There is a circular issued by the court administrator
08:42wherein it states that all cases related to 10660
08:50should be filed in the nearest RTC of the next judicial region.
08:58On paper, there seems to be a slight deviation in the law,
09:03but maybe it's better if we listen to the ombudsman.
09:05Tolentino said that the nearest judicial region in Tarlac
09:10is Ordaneta, Pangasinan or Valenzuela.
09:13Only there can Guo's case be filed.
09:17The Justice Secretary also decided to file a draft case
09:20against Guo in the Tarlac case, but for a different reason.
09:23I think the prosecutors of the ombudsman made a mistake
09:26because Alice Guo has a salary grade of 30
09:31and 26 and above should go to the ombudsman and the court.
09:37That's why the Justice Department is writing to the ombudsman
09:40to clarify this issue.
09:42Maybe it's just an oversight.
09:45But according to Tiveros,
09:47the chair of the committee that is in charge of hearing,
09:50the committee will write again to the chair and to the office of the ombudsman
09:56until we get some quick answers from those two good bodies
10:03that can guide us.
10:05Otherwise, Ms. Alice will remain in PNP custody.
10:09For GMA Integrated News, I'm Sandra Aguinaldo.
10:13Your witness.
10:15The President approved the arrest of the head of the Bureau of Immigration
10:19following the arrest of Alice Guo.
10:21The ombudsman explained why the Tarlac RTC filed a case against Guo.
10:26Witness, Ian Cruz.
10:31After facing Alice Guo again in the Senate earlier,
10:34she was returned to the PNP Custodial Center.
10:36Her stay there is based on the court's order in Tarlac.
10:41The ombudsman filed a case against Guo.
10:44This is what he explained.
10:46At the time we filed the information,
10:49Alice Guo was no longer a public official.
10:53Then Alice Guo was dismissed by the ombudsman.
10:56That's why she's in Tarlac.
10:58She'll stay there because there's a jurisdiction in Bambang.
11:02The Senate cannot take custody of Alice Guo
11:06because she's held by the court.
11:08The warrant of arrest issued by the Senate cannot be superior to the warrant of arrest issued by the RTC
11:17because the warrant of arrest issued by the Senate is not by reason of a crime committed but by reason of contempt.
11:25That's why my advice to the Senate is to request the Senate of KAPAS RTC
11:34that Alice Guo can be produced in the Senate if there's a hearing.
11:42The KAPAS Tarlac RTC Branch 109 refused to give a statement about this.
11:48Immigration Commissioner Norman Tancinko was dismissed
11:53due to Guo's outburst.
11:55The President approved the dismissal of Tancinko.
11:59Yes, the President has approved the dismissal of the current VI Commissioner.
12:05Yes, that is confirmed.
12:07Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla said
12:10he recommended this because he's not happy with Tancinko's job.
12:15He'll be replaced.
12:17If I were him, I'd resign already.
12:19He'll resign.
12:20Tancinko was asked earlier in the Senate hearing about his outburst.
12:25Commissioner, the news from Secretary Remulla, your boss, is spreading that you were replaced.
12:32Is this correct?
12:34I received it through the media but I have not yet been officially informed, Your Honor.
12:42Not yet informed that you are being relieved or being transferred to another post?
12:48Not yet, Your Honor.
12:50But are you aware that there is a certain move to replace you as the head of the Bureau of Immigration?
12:57Through the media, Your Honor.
13:00We also tried to ask Tancinko about this.
13:03The President approved your dismissal.
13:06What can you say about that, sir?
13:09I'm sorry, Your Honor.
13:12Earlier in the Senate hearing,
13:14Senator Risa Onteveros pointed out the possibility of an investigation
13:18by another government agency regarding Go's departure from the country.
13:22Just a while ago, someone wrote that the President has already left.
13:28But is it only the BI that is involved?
13:31And who exactly is in the BI?
13:35What about the liability of the Coast Guard?
13:38What about the liability of the Coast Guard if he leaves in a yacht?
13:44What about the involvement of the local governments?
13:47Go first suggested that he has a Philippine connection to the departure of the country.
13:52Did the immigration officials help you?
13:56Do you know the immigration officials?
13:58Immigration officials? No.
14:00Government officials? No.
14:02Filipino officials? No.
14:03They did not help.
14:04For GMA Integrated News, I am Ian Cruz, your witness.
14:10Vice President Sara Duterte insisted that she is not a bratinella or spoiled brat.
14:15Next is what she said in a camera interview about the 2025 budget of her office.
14:23The people of the country know that I am not a bratinella or spoiled brat
14:29because they know me since I was still in Davao, since I was still a mayor until I became Vice President.
14:38The Vice President thinks that the lawmakers are not used to not getting what they want.
14:44But she believes that the Congress has the power to impose the budget of the agencies, including her office.
14:51She also explained in the repeated answers to the hearing,
14:54that some members of the Congress are using the budget hearing as an attack on her.
15:02Put in house arrest or transfer to the custody of the AFP,
15:05that is what Pastor Apollo Quiboloy's camp will ask for.
15:08He is now in the custody of the PNP.
15:11Witness, Mary Zumal.
15:13We are not the breakers.
15:16On August 24, when the police entered the compound of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ or KOJC in Davao City,
15:24their mission was to arrest KOJC founder Pastor Apollo Quiboloy and other accused.
15:30And yesterday, after the search,
15:33the authorities caught Quiboloy, who was arrested earlier in Camp Krame.
15:38According to the PNP, he is the one who was arrested.
15:42He was wearing a cap marked Aguila.
15:44He was covered from his face to his body.
15:47The faces of the accused and KOJC members,
15:51Jacqueline Roy, Ingrid Canada, Crisente Canada, and Silvia Semanes, were also covered.
15:57Before this,
15:58Do you have the right to remain silent?
16:01they were charged with Miranda Rights and were put under a booking procedure.
16:05Those who were caught in this process were learned by the PNP before being distributed to the media.
16:10They were shot in the back.
16:13They are now being held in the PNP Custodial Center.
16:16The accomplice of Quiboloy confessed and the pastor was not arrested.
16:21An arrest is only made when there is an actual restraint of the person to be arrested.
16:25In this case, there was no actual restraint.
16:28He decided to make the ultimate sacrifice of surrendering
16:33so that the sufferings of his members would end.
16:36But President Bombo Marcos and the Interior Department
16:41cornered him and forced him to surrender.
16:43He will not surrender if we do not chase him.
16:48He was forced to go out because the police were already near him.
16:53The police decided, and my instruction to them,
16:57this is the last time, I said, when we enter,
17:00do not leave until you get him.
17:03And that's exactly what they did.
17:04For me, it makes no difference if you surrender.
17:08Because that's it. You were practically cornered.
17:12According to the DILG Secretary,
17:14the information being distributed outside the KOJC compound is false.
17:18Quiboloy surrendered.
17:20That's a story of a coachman.
17:22Do you know why?
17:24If you're already outside, then run away.
17:26He's been saying that for a long time.
17:28He will not be arrested.
17:30The DILG now wants to investigate and answer the allegations against Quiboloy.
17:35The lawyer of the pastor who was involved in the possible investigation is ready.
17:40His gate, yesterday he returned to the KOJC compound.
17:45He had to meet his leaders again.
17:49That is why on September 8, there was already a decision that he will surrender.
17:55And on September 8 in the morning, I was informed about it.
17:57And in front of the ISAF officers and the PNP,
18:03the decision was made.
18:05Prior to September 7, he was not in the compound.
18:08He also argued that he only just found out where Quiboloy hid.
18:12He told me that he was in the mountains of Davao City.
18:16I was not able to verify from him.
18:19The events happened too fast.
18:22Last week, the PNP received a tip that Quiboloy was hiding inside the ACQ College of Ministries.
18:301,000 staff and SWAT were assigned to surround the place to make sure that no one could leave.
18:37Early in the afternoon, the final assault was launched.
18:41But there were surrender feelers, so the assault was suspended.
18:44At 10 p.m., we heard the feelers.
18:47The National Headquarters called because the negotiations were high-level.
18:53So I said, sir, I will hold until 1 a.m.
18:57My first assault was held until 3 p.m.
19:03A C-130 plane of the Air Force arrived in Davao and went out where Quiboloy was hiding.
19:09They were ridden by a convoy that traveled to them to ride the C-130.
19:13The President said that Quiboloy asked for the presence of the Armed Forces of the Philippines in his assault.
19:20But the AFP and the PNP were the first to join the operation.
19:25I hope that the AFP will be present because there is no trust in the police.
19:30So fine, that's what we did.
19:32But let's be very clear, this was a police-led operation.
19:37There were cases of qualified human trafficking and child abuse and sexual abuse here in the Philippines.
19:42This is anchored in the complaint of Alias Amanda,
19:46the minor who was brought from Pasig to Davao City,
19:50where Quiboloy was temporarily brought.
19:52According to his lawyer, Alias Amanda is happy with this development
19:57and they are now preparing to face Quiboloy and other accused in court.
20:02The Justice Department is investigating that he was placed in the Witness Protection Program.
20:05Victims and former workers of KOJC in America were happy with the arrest of Quiboloy and other accused.
20:13But they have a long call.
20:15I hope that the PNP will rescue those who are still inside Quiboloy's quarters, especially the minors.
20:25Quiboloy is also wanted in the Federal Bureau of Investigation of America
20:29for cases of sexual trafficking of minors, fraud, conspiracy, bulk cash smuggling,
20:35and money laundering.
20:37Yesterday, the Philippines and America issued freeze orders on Quiboloy's bank accounts, properties, and other assets.
20:44The cases in America and here in the Philippines are almost the same.
20:48They were released by different kinds of witnesses.
20:51Their lives are different, but the complaint is the same.
20:53The Justice Secretary assured that Quiboloy has nothing to do with politics in the justice system of the Philippines.
20:59After that, only one person will discuss the possible request from the United States.
21:03We expect the U.S. to file an extradition request very soon.
21:10We have a treaty with the U.S. and it's part of the law of the land.
21:14We will have to play it out well.
21:17Well, the extradition request is not yet there.
21:20Besides, the judicial processes that Apollo Quiboloy is going to have to go through now, locally, still have to be done.
21:35Because what has been done is that we have implemented and enforced an arrest warrant that was issued by the court.
21:44For the moment, we are not looking at extradition.
21:47What we are looking at are the cases, the complaints that were filed here in the Philippines.
21:55And that is what he needs to face first.
21:57Now that the arrest order of the court of Pastor Quiboloy has been implemented,
22:01the next thing he will face is in the hands of the judicature.
22:04The President assured that his rights will be protected,
22:08while there is no special treatment that will be given to him.
22:12Earlier, Quiboloy was brought by his lawyer to the PNP Custodial Center.
22:15They will request the court to remove Pastor.
22:19Right now, we filed a motion for the transfer of his custody to the AFP, citing among other grounds, security reasons.
22:29And we are hoping that the court would grant the same.
22:33Or at the very least, a house arrest, knowing that he is already 74 years old, he has a health condition.
22:42But the Defense Department said that the motion to transfer Quiboloy's custody to the AFP will be followed.
22:48The AFP facilities have strict operational security protocols.
22:53That is why this is not the agency that should hold the custody of suspects in criminal cases.
22:58For GMA Integrated News, I am Maryse Umaliang Inyo.
23:02Succeed!
23:04Rehabilitation of the NIA will begin on its turnover to the New NIA Infrastructure Corporation starting on Saturday.
23:11And in the first year, you will already feel the changes.
23:15Witness, Bernadette Reyes.
23:20Red seats.
23:22Escalators and walkalators do not work.
23:25Limited parking space.
23:26This will be extended to the moment that the operation of Ninoy Aquino International Terminal will be turned over to the New NIA Infrastructure Corporation starting on Saturday, September 14.
23:38In the first year, you will already feel the changes in the new and refurbished toilets.
23:43Added air conditioning units and chairs.
23:46Faster internet connection and many more.
23:49In five years, the passenger capacity will be increased to 62 million from the current 35 million.
23:57And from 40 million, take-offs and landings will be 48 million per hour.
24:10Local airlines will also have new flights to international and local destinations.
24:15There may also be changes to the terminal assignment once the extension of Terminal 2 is completed.
24:23Also, there will not be an immediate increase in the passenger fee.
24:26Based on the administrative order that was recently signed,
24:32the implementation of the increase in the terminal fee will only take effect after one year.
24:3882% of the revenues other than passenger service charge will go to the government.
24:44Our charges have not increased for 24 years.
24:48And I think this is one of the reasons why the improvements and development of NIA is slow.
24:56There is a lack of funds.
24:59Maybe it's about time.
25:02For GMA Integrated News, Bernadette Reyes, your Saksi.
25:07My fellow countrymen, it is still possible for some parts of the country to rain tomorrow due to the low tide and localized thunderstorms.
25:14Based on the data of Metro Weather, there is already a chance of rain in the western section of Luzon.
25:19And in the afternoon, more places will rain, including some parts of Visayas and Mindanao.
25:23It will not be strong and rainy, so be alert for flood or landslide.
25:30There is also a chance of rain tomorrow in Metro Manila, especially in the afternoon and night.
25:35For now, there is no effect in the country on the two low-pressure areas that are monitored inside and outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility.

26:08Maroon 5 visited here last in 2022.
