00:00Instead of goods, the illegal drugs are worth millions of pesos,
00:03the contents of the parcels that arrived from other countries.
00:11I am now investigating who is the consignee or who will receive the package.
00:15This is the news brought to you by James Agustin, Exclusive.
00:21It was declared that there is a possibility of wiring harnesses, clothes, books, and skin care products in these 21 parcels.
00:28when it arrived at the Central Mail Exchange Center in Pasay City.
00:32But the parcels were discovered by the IA Interagency Drug Interdiction Task Group that contains drugs.
00:39There are more than 7,000 grams of high-grade marijuana and more than 1,200 ecstasy tablets.
00:46It is worth almost 13 million pesos.
00:49It passed through the X-ray and then when we saw that there was something,
00:54we let the inspection pass by and then after that, there was a thorough examination by the NBI to check.
01:03That's when we found out that there is a possibility that the drugs were given to them.
01:07The authorities first refused to say where the parcels came from.
01:12They also referred them to their foreign counterparts for further investigation.
01:17The consignees who were involved are part of the follow-up operation.
01:20We will verify the existence of the people who are here and also the addresses where the details were placed.
01:28Our goal is to file a case against them pertaining to RA 9165.
01:35The evidence for the laboratory examination is in the custody of PDEA.
01:40James Agustin is reporting for JMA Integrated News.
01:45I am here in Orion, Bataan, the home port of DATU Pagbwaya.
01:50One day after they experienced harassment from the China Coast Guard and after they were water-cannoned
01:57at Scarborough Shoal, I saw the damage caused by the ship.
02:02This is where it went straight to fix the damage.
02:06Here is my report.
02:07Next, the China Coast Guard bombed the BRP DATU Pagbwaya of BIFAR near Bahaudi, Masinlok.
02:14The ship returned to Orion, Bataan.
02:17From a distance, it seemed that the ship was intact.
02:19But up close, the UP saw the railings on the starboard side or the right side of the ship.
02:24One of the lifecrafts had a crack and its container was damaged.
02:28The navigation light of the ship was deformed.
02:30The firehose box was damaged and the air conditioning was damaged.
02:34The three CCTVs and the small water-cannon of the ship were also damaged.
02:38In a clearer and more complete video from DATU Pagbwaya,
02:42you can see how the China Coast Guard targeted the exhaust system of the BIFAR ship.
02:47If it was hit by water, its engine could have died.
02:51It is very dangerous now that it is in the middle of the sea.
02:54It is good that it has protection.
02:57Next, the water-cannon of the Krudo tank was targeted
03:00which was supplied by BIFAR to the Filipino fishermen.
03:03The water can be seen after being hit by the three large tanks made of PVC.
03:08When it did not explode,
03:09the giant ship was able to speed up its speed
03:12until the small BIFAR ship reached and hit its side.
03:20According to the crew of the ship,
03:21the BRP DATU Pagbwaya hit its side by almost 40 degrees.
03:26Although the China Coast Guard continued its attack,
03:29they did not continue to hit its side.
03:31According to BIFAR,
03:32the BRP DATU Pagbwaya has only been in commission for two years.
03:36That is why it is sad that many of its assets have been destroyed.
03:51According to the DFA,
03:53a diplomatic protest was held here in the Philippines against China.
03:56The Chinese Coast Guard also protested against the BIFAR ship in Escoda Shoal.
04:00The Chinese Embassy has no objection to the new diplomatic protest,
04:03but they said earlier that their actions are illegal and professional
04:09to protect their sovereignty.
04:11It's very clear.
04:12I mean, we were within our legal rights.
04:14Certainly, we don't understand why China again is repeating these actions
04:18which are clearly illegal.
04:20That's why we are working with like-minded nations
04:24to break this lie.
04:28They have no basis in what they are saying.
04:31They are using force because they are strong.
04:35But we are also making them strong.
04:37When the BRP DATU Pagbwaya was hit,
04:39one of the ships that were hit by the Philippine ships
04:41was the Chinese Navy ship with a bow number 500.
04:44It was hit 300 yards away.
04:47It was the first time that this happened in Baudimasin Lock, according to the PCG.
04:50According to the National Task Force for the West Philippine Sea,
04:53the Philippine Navy may also deploy the warships of the Philippines
04:56to accompany the resupply missions of BFAR and PCG to the Philippine fishermen.
05:01China has taken this route of escalating.
05:05That's what I want to emphasize.
05:07They are being left behind because the PLAN Navy ship of the PRC is blocking them.
05:16So in reaction to that, the Philippine government reserves the right
05:20to also deploy the Philippine Navy in this circumstance
05:25because we were not the first ones here.
05:28This is contrary to the position of the National Maritime Council
05:31which was the first to say that they do not want to be involved
05:33in the situation of the military of China against the military of the Philippines.
05:36Our president is very clear that all dispute, conflict situations
05:44will be done by peaceful means or diplomatic actions and mechanisms.
05:49Because if it's Navy to Navy, there will be escalation.
05:53We do not know what will happen next if ever there is a misunderstanding, misinformation.
05:59We don't want war. Who wants war?
06:01We don't want to think about our fishermen.
06:04You are leaving us to our own devices.
06:07That is not the position of the Philippine government.
06:10The Philippine Navy refused to comment.
06:13But in a statement, the Philippine Navy said,
06:15the AFP is aware of everything that is happening
06:18and assured that they are also present in the area.

07:02She was a passenger in one of the vehicles hit by the truck.
07:06I am the passenger of this truck.
07:08I am his mother.
07:11I will just arrive here.
07:13I was hit by a truck.
07:18My baby was saved.
07:21He was the one who was hit by the truck.
07:23According to the truck driver,
07:25their van did not have brakes,
07:27which is why they were not able to get out of the 20 vehicles.
07:3216 motorcycles and 8 four-wheel vehicles,
07:35including an L300 van and a bus, were involved in the crash.
07:41We were about to get out, but we lost our brakes.
07:45He avoided the other motorcycles.
07:48When they all stopped, he hit them.
07:51According to the police,
07:53the traffic was heavy in the Katipunan Avenue area
07:55when the crash happened,
07:57which is why many vehicles were involved.
08:00At that time, it was a rush hour.
08:03The area was slow to run.
08:06The truck driver was not able to handle it.
08:10That's why he kept going.
08:13He was not able to control the speed of the vehicle.
08:16The residents also did not notice
08:18that the truck driver ran away after the incident.
08:22Where is the truck driver?
08:24We are looking for him.
08:26He will be charged with reckless imprudence
08:29resulting in multiple homicide
08:30with multiple physical injuries and damage to property.
08:34Heavy traffic also hit the Katipunan of Karambola
08:37after the northbound lane of the flyover was temporarily closed

08:45It took six hours for the doors to be reopened.
