00:03 The arrival of the government troops was just on time earlier in the morning.
00:07 That's why they were prevented from leaving the compound.
00:10 [Music]
00:14 The PNP, AFP, and Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission, or PAAOC, joined forces
00:20 to launch a raid on the compound of ZUN Yuan Technology, Inc.
00:24 They obtained a search warrant and managed to escape a Vietnamese and report a crime and serious illegal detention.
00:32 This establishment is legal.
00:35 There are papers with the PAG Corps and of course, the local government has papers.
00:41 But what we are looking at here is how they operate.
00:46 Number one, the serious illegal detention that we are investigating, human trafficking.
00:54 They are also conducting various modus, such as love scam and cryptocurrency scam.
00:59 They have quotas.
01:02 You need to get at least 10 victims so you don't enter the quota.
01:11 And then they are already in pain so you can get old.
01:15 So the extensive search is still ongoing in the buildings.
01:19 And we understand that there is an underground establishment and maybe a tunnel which we are looking for.
01:25 So possibly, they also have a torture chamber here.
01:30 This afternoon, more than 800 Filipinos, Chinese, Malaysian, Vietnamese, and even foreigners were rescued.
01:39 Authorities are hoping that this will continue because some parts of the compound are still in disrepair.
01:46 Authorities also said that the suspects have confiscated weapons from the rooms.
01:53 We will find out if this is legal.
01:55 The PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group will also issue a warrant to confiscate and examine the computers and other gadgets inside.
02:03 For GMA Integrated News, I'm your host, Jhon Veneracion.
02:09 It is possible that rice will be exported to other countries this year due to the effects of El Nino on rice fields.
02:15 Witness, Bernadette Rea.
02:17 It would be nice if mangoes could be harvested in Calesaw, Pangasinan.
02:24 But it's good that some fruits have already fallen after the full army work.
02:29 Because if the mangoes fall and the fruits are left, they will be hollowed out and the mangoes will be damaged.
02:39 According to the Provincial Agriculture Office, this pest spreads quickly when the weather is hot.
02:45 The whole importance of the Pinsala was also known, including the towns of Agno, Mangaldan, San Fabian, Alaminos, and San Carlos City.
02:54 Due to the attack of the full army worm, the rice fields in five barangays in Lipa City, Batangas were allowed.
03:01 The effects of the hot weather were accompanied by the loss of 300,000 pesos in rice by Ms. Mayet.
03:09 We will try to harvest tomatoes and rice. We have already harvested two hectares.
03:15 20 hectares of rice were harvested according to the Lipa City Agriculture Office.
03:20 We have available sprayers. The only problem is the correct reporting of the cases they experienced so that we can give them the right help.
03:32 The land in some barangays in San Luis, Pampanga was also affected.
03:36 According to the farmer, Ashong, he just experienced this Pinsala in his farm, the tip of a dry spell.
03:43 He was only able to water twice in two months.
03:47 If this is not solved, it will go to nothing. The land and herbicides are expensive.
03:56 1.31 billion pesos.
03:58 That's how big the Pinsala in the agriculture of El Nino, including 14,000 hectares of rice fields, according to the Department of Agriculture.
04:06 The Pagambana Federation of Free Farmers Cooperative has grown, especially the important production areas in the country.
04:14 The areas that were affected so far, Western Visayas, especially Iloilo Province, that's where the rice grains of Region 6 are.
04:23 The two Mindoros, Occidental and Oriental, this is the basket of Mimaropa.
04:30 In the United States Department of Agriculture, the rice of the Philippines will reach 4.1 million metric tons this year due to the increasing crop from local farms.
04:42 This is the highest so far in our history. It was 3.8 or 3.9 last year. So it's high.
04:49 It means that El Nino has an impact on us.
04:53 But the DA doesn't say it's up to them.
04:56 Even though the USDA has projections, that doesn't happen normally.
05:03 Again, coming from last year, the rice was planted a bit big, 300,000 metric tons versus their original projection.
05:12 The Department of Agriculture still cannot say how much rice is being grown now because the harvest season has just started.
05:19 But they expect that the rice will be grown up to 9.6 million metric tons this dry season, which is higher than the same time last year.
05:29 For GMA Integrated News, Bernadette Reyes, your "Saksi".
05:34 President Bongbong Marcos answered the questions of former President Rodrigo Duterte about his overseas trips.
05:43 From Berlin, Germany, Saksi Live, Rafi Pino.
05:47 Rafi.
05:50 It's 4 o'clock in the afternoon here in Berlin, Germany, where President Bongbong Marcos is on his way to the Czech Republic for his state visit.
05:59 But before he left, President Marcos confirmed that one of the things that they talked about, Chairman Chancellor Olaf Scholz,
06:05 is the investigation of the International Criminal Court against former President Rodrigo Duterte, aside from other issues.
06:17 In the middle of their working lunch, President Bongbong Marcos confirmed that Chairman Chancellor Olaf Scholz asked him
06:23 what the update on the investigation of the ICC is to former President Rodrigo Duterte.
06:27 I think he just wanted to be informed.
06:30 But I went further beyond just explaining the position of the Philippines vis-a-vis the ICC.
06:38 I also went further and said we have actually completely changed the concept of the anti-drug campaign.
06:48 In my view, enforcement can only take you so far.
06:55 And we have taken it as far as we can, and maybe in the opinion of some, we've taken it beyond.
07:01 And in response to the question of former President Duterte about the official visit of President Marcos abroad,
07:08 President Marcos showed the list of his visits here in Berlin.
07:12 This is my schedule. Where is the official visit?
07:15 This is my schedule for today.
07:19 Where's the walk?
07:22 Nothing. You know, you're with us, we don't make official visits.
07:26 The President did not respond to the former President's other requests, particularly regarding the Charter Change,
07:32 because he did not understand it.
07:34 The President also gave an update on the condition of his mother, former First Lady Imelda Marcos.
07:39 She's getting better.
07:41 She's scheduled to come out on, I think, Thursday.
07:45 She was feeling better already. Her fever is really going down.
07:50 The doctors decided to leave her in the hospital while she's being given antibiotics, until the course of antibiotics is over.
08:03 Tomorrow, the President's first activity in Prague is his visit to Prague Castle.
08:12 And from there, his next activity will be where he will be joining the President of the Czech Republic,
08:17 their Prime Minister, Senate President, and Head of the Chamber of Deputies.
