00:08 The former head executive assistant of the chairman of LTFRB,
00:12 was convinced that there is a reason for the transfer of the land to their office.
00:16 Because of the allegations, the head of LTFRB was suspended.
00:20 The transfer of the land of the transport operators is 5 million pesos
00:23 so that they can get what they are asking for from LTFRB.
00:28 Witness, Mackie Polido.

00:34 President Bongo Marcos suspended the chairman of the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board,
00:39 which is Attorney Teofilo Guadis III.
00:41 The root of the corruption accusations within the office of LTFRB is happening.
00:46 The former head executive assistant of Guadis,
00:49 was suspended from February to September 2023, which is Jeff Tumbado.
00:53 He has witnessed many times the transfer of land of the transport operators
00:58 to get or change the route, as well as the franchise, special permit, board resolution, and others.
01:05 [Jeff Tumbado]
01:06 I call it a route for sale, special permit for sale.
01:13 If you are an operator, and you want to get this land, especially in the province,
01:19 you will request a modification of the route.
01:23 If you want to send it, you want to get it even if you can't,
01:27 then you will look for me.
01:32 [News Reporter]
01:33 The transfer of land is 5 million pesos, 50% of the down payment,
01:36 and the last payment is when the operator gets what he is asking for.
01:40 [Jeff Tumbado]
01:41 Of course, I am the head executive assistant,
01:43 and we discussed everything one-on-one inside his office.
01:47 I believe the chairman is also a victim.
01:50 He is also a victim.
01:51 [Reporter]
01:52 Why?
01:53 [Jeff Tumbado]
01:54 Because there is an instruction from higher-ups that...
01:57 You know the SOP?
01:59 [News Reporter]
02:00 The SOP he is talking about is said to reach the officials of the DOTR until Malacanang.
02:04 [Jeff Tumbado]
02:05 When I gave it to him, there were some...
02:08 [Music]
02:11 who were delivering.
02:12 He collected it.
02:13 He went to Malacanang, the last cold cash.
02:16 [News Reporter]
02:17 Even the regional offices of the LTFRB also receive a 2 million pesos monthly payment.
02:21 The other details are known,
02:23 and who are the people who are involved in the case of Graff and the violation of ease of doing business in Ombudsman.
02:30 Aside from the witnesses, there are also text screenshots and audio recordings of Tumbado.
02:35 He was asked to correct it because he is asking for a place even for the poor operators.
02:40 [Jeff Tumbado]
02:41 If I am the only one who is crazy, I am rich, I will not face you.
02:43 The Transport Group Manibela, which will also file a case against Graff,
02:47 will also hold a transport strike on October 16 to condemn the violation of the LTFRB.
02:53 [Jeff Tumbado]
02:54 Stop the strike!
02:55 The strike will happen next week.
02:58 Let's join!
02:59 [Crowd]
03:00 Fight!
03:01 [Jeff Tumbado]
03:02 Fight!
03:03 The Prescon of Pagbubulgar, along with the so-called Prescon of the LTFRB,
03:08 was led by the transport groups that support Guadis.
03:12 Guadis did not give an exact statement regarding the allegations,
03:15 even though he was asked about the Graff case.
03:18 I have not learned anything about this.
03:21 But if there is something, we will face it.
03:25 Our conscience is clean.
03:27 Don't resign just in case.
03:30 [Crowd]
03:32 Because what we should do is, those who are doing something should not resign.
03:37 According to Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista,
03:40 the investigation has already launched and Guadis is explaining.
03:44 Guadis said that he will help the LTFRB to fight against the trust.
03:49 He has not given an answer regarding the suspension of his presidency.
03:52 For GMA Integrated News, Macky Pulido, your "Saksi".
03:57 Big time rollback will be implemented on oil products starting tomorrow.
04:02 Two pesos and 45 cents for the price of each liter of diesel.
04:06 Both are in the first week of the rollback of gasoline, which is less than three pesos and five cents per liter.
04:13 And kerosene, which is less than three pesos per liter.
04:16 Good news for the commuter.
04:18 Free ride will be returned to buses and jeeps from November until the end of 2023.
04:24 Their budget for that is 1.3 billion pesos.
04:32 Before "Saksi", the National Bureau of Investigation has already launched a motion for a whole departure order
04:37 against Sen. Aguila, the head of Socorro Bayanihan Services, Inc.
04:42 "Saksi" is Ian Cruz.
04:44 DSWD members visited the Baluarte of Socorro Bayanihan Services, Inc. or SBSI
04:54 to get information on the more than 3,000 residents of Sitio Capihan.
04:59 161 social workers are here today because DSWD should visit more than 1,000 houses
05:07 for their profiling of Sitio Capihan.
05:10 The purpose of our profiling is to have data on Sitio Capihan.
05:18 If programs and services from DSWD are needed, we have ready data for reference.
05:25 We also reached the class of Kinder and Grade 1 pupils in the cultural center of Sitio.
05:31 According to Rosniel Saga, one of the teachers in Sitio Capihan,
05:35 this proves that the youth there are not really illiterate.
05:39 Some minorities who fled from Sitio faced the Senate and were impeached.
05:45 The youth there experienced great things like the strength of marriage and unity.
05:51 I did not see anything. If their allegations are true, I will go down if I see it.
05:59 SBSI requested that the senators who are investigating should go to Sitio Capihan.
06:05 They should visit this place because we are already bad image to them.
06:10 We want them to visit Capihan to experience what's inside of us.
06:16 The Joint Committee of the Senate expected to conduct an ocular inspection on Saturday
06:21 and the investigation is being conducted by SBSI.
06:24 DNR-Caraga also reached Sitio Capihan.
06:27 They are already in the investigation phase of the groups who were involved in the agreement
06:32 to use the land of Sitio Capihan.
06:35 There will be no displacement or eviction brought about by this suspension order.
06:41 We will conduct an in-depth investigation on the violations.
06:46 And depending on the results of our investigation, we will submit a recommendation to the Secretary.
06:53 The Senate did not have a custody where the four leaders of SBSI were detained after mass site in contempt
07:01 under the leadership of J. Renz Quilario or Sen. Aguila.
07:04 They went to the office of the Department of Justice earlier
07:08 for a clarifying hearing on the charges of trafficking, kidnapping, child abuse and other charges.
07:13 They need to clarify the other issues.
07:16 They have to get certain facts straight so that the B.I. can be corrected.
07:20 The panel of prosecutors will suggest what documents can be given.
07:25 After less than an hour, the DOJ escorted the SBSI officials to the Senate custody.
07:34 They did not hold an interview.
07:36 Before this, the former members of SBSI also went to the DOJ,
07:41 which is now being complained by the organization.
07:44 They are under the custody of the Interagency Council Against Trafficking.
07:48 According to the DOJ, a clarifying hearing will be held again on October 12.
07:53 The preliminary investigation for the possible cases of SBSI is not yet scheduled.

08:36 Good evening, Kapuso.
08:37 A typhoon and a low-pressure area are being monitored in the east of the Philippine Area of Responsibility.

08:48 It was seen in the line 2,515 kilometers east of northeastern Mindanao.
08:54 According to the forecast, it has a low chance of entering the Philippine Area of Responsibility.
09:00 The last seen low-pressure area is almost next to it.
