00:00 In the afternoon of February 20, 2024, students were raided outside a nearby school in Manila.

00:10 "About 200 meters from where I stand, that's where the students were raided."

00:17 The students who were raided and captured on video, we will hide under the name "Gessa", 13 years old.

00:26 Based on the investigation of the Barangay Council for Protection of Children or BCPC of their area.

00:34 "They are also being raped."

00:36 The beating and the avoidance of Gessa from the group became the reason for their fight.

00:42 "Her story is that she did not join her friends who are violent."

00:51 The parents of the victims of the fight immediately called the police.

00:56 "The mother said, 'Since they are both minors, just return my medical expenses to my child.'"

01:08 After a meeting in the barangay, the parents of the victim Gessa paid the damages for her treatment.

01:16 "They agreed to pay a fine of P1,000. That's why they signed here that they are okay."

01:23 A few days after the attack, Gessa was still able to enter the school.

01:28 But she was suddenly killed inside the bathroom.

01:31 "She entered and when she came out, she just sat on one side."

01:37 She was immediately taken to the hospital but after five days, Gessa was brought back to life.

01:46 The victim's body was found in the reporter's notebook.

01:50 We talked to her mother, Robeline.

01:53 She told us that her child is not sick and that it could be the reason for her death.

01:59 She said that she did not see any other reason but the painful incident of the students of Gessa.

02:06 "You can see in the video, not only one person was raped.

02:11 They were also attacked and stabbed."

02:15 When the death certificate of Gessa was released,

02:18 this is when Robeline's suspicion of the cause of her child's death became stronger.

02:23 Hemorrhage or blood clotting in the brain was the cause of her death.

02:27 "The problem is that if she bled during the time of accident,

02:32 those four days were really long.

02:36 If you have an injury in the brain, every minute counts."

02:41 "It's hard, ma'am. But I'm trying my best because I have two more children."

02:48 Gessa is the second of three siblings.

02:51 The child dreams of becoming a teacher one day.

02:55 "She said she can help us because we are just doing what is hard.

02:59 But she just took it from us.

03:03 That's why it hurts."

03:06 Two days after Gessa's life was saved,

03:10 under the guidance of the Municipal Social Welfare and Development Office,

03:14 or MSWDO in their area,

03:17 we interviewed Almira.

03:19 Her name is not her real name.

03:21 She is the woman in blue clothes who was raped in the video while Gessa was injured.

03:28 "We were just worried.

03:30 When we went there, someone came out and chased us.

03:35 Then the police said, 'Go after her.'

03:39 She shouted, 'Wait for me.'

03:41 We just talked to her.

03:44 Then she started shouting at us."

03:48 Almira feels a deep regret because of Gessa's disappearance.

03:54 "We are so sorry for what we did."

03:58 We interviewed the principal of the school where the children who were injured by Gessa are studying.

04:04 They explained that because the chaos inside the school did not happen,

04:08 they cannot give punishment to the students.

04:12 "It happened outside the school campus.

04:15 Yes."

04:16 "But they were wearing uniforms."

04:18 "Yes."

04:19 "What will they do outside?

04:21 It will be a reflection of the school."

04:23 "It can be like that.

04:27 But for us, it is education.

04:29 We can say that the children are fighting."

04:31 "But some died."

04:32 "Yes, because we don't know if they really died."

04:37 The principal added that one of their problems is the lack of a guidance counselor

04:43 who can guide and give advice to the students who are having problems.

04:49 "We don't have a guidance counselor.

04:51 We have a guidance teacher.

04:53 She cannot give counseling because she is not a counselor.

04:58 But she can give advice.

05:01 She will monitor the students daily."

05:07 For now, the students who were involved in the chaos are not allowed to enter the school

05:17 while being monitored by the MSWDO because the minors cannot blame the victims of the chaos

05:26 according to the law.

05:28 But they need to join the community service and counseling within 6 months.

05:34 "This is part of what we are doing to find out what happened.

05:39 If they have anger management, we can talk about it."

05:44 But for the minors, who can be the one to answer?

05:49 "For the parents, if it is proven that they are negligent, they may be charged with civil liability.

05:59 Because it is in our family code.

06:01 Parents and other persons exercising parental authority shall be civilly liable for injuries and damages

06:08 caused by the acts of the minors."

06:11 For Jessa's family, their son's arrest is unforgivable.

06:15 "It hurts me to lose my son, especially that he is a girl.

06:20 Because when your son studies, they will have a lot of dreams in that way."

06:26 The 5-year-old student, Tintin, who has a bruise on her face and blood on her nose,

06:38 is not her real name.

06:41 She then went to her classmate in Pasig City.

06:45 "Here on her nose, on her nose, this is the biggest wound.

06:49 Here on her cheek, here, here, here, here on her eyes.

06:55 She has a bruise here, and here on her nose.

06:59 And here, there is a mark on her cheek."

07:03 Because of her mother's anger, she did not file a complaint to the school.

07:08 So she went straight to the barangay to complain to the parents of the child who was injured.

07:14 "I cannot blame the teacher for what happened.

07:17 Of course, it is not only my son who was there.

07:21 For a lot of children, no one can handle everything."

07:25 We went to the school where Tintin is studying and the classmate who was injured.

07:31 They admitted that they do not have enough capacity to focus every student in their studies.

07:38 "For a lot of children, the teacher is alone.

07:41 We are also not enough in the classroom.

07:43 That is one factor, the excess population in a classroom."

07:50 Because of the trauma that Tintin suffered, she did not go to school first and she was temporarily in a module.

07:57 They also assure that what happened to Tintin or any other student in their school will not happen again.

08:05 "The parent of the child who was injured told us that if possible,

08:11 the child who was bullied should be transferred to another section so that the child will not be seen.

08:16 So we gave that to them."

08:18 In the Program for International Student Assessment or PISA,

08:23 one in three students experience bullying every week in the Philippines.

08:29 The Department of Education of DepEd said that it would be a big help if the number of guidance counselors would increase

08:36 so that the students can be guided more.

08:38 But the problem is...

08:40 "We have over 46,000 schools and there is a limited number of guidance counselors available

08:47 primarily because the current salary of guidance counselors is insufficient to attract them.

08:55 That's why in terms of intervening, the Department of Education has begun exploring,

09:00 adding the base of those that can respond."

09:04 On March 10, Jessa was buried.

09:08 "I hope she will not worry. We will do our best to give her justice for what happened to her."

09:15 This is my second home, but in the cases where violence happens here or in its surroundings,

09:23 the government should take measures so that no student will be hurt

09:28 or the most dangerous, will lose their life.

09:32 I am June Veneration and this is Reporters Notebook.

09:39 March 8, 2024, while we were hiding the fisherman Raul in Laot,

09:51 he saw a bag full of money in the sea.

09:54 "I was looking at the money. I thought it was money.

09:59 I was lucky because I was looking up and I asked for help."

10:06 When Raul opened the bag, some black blocks fell on him.

10:13 "There were writings that said 'Z' and 'Kako Pera'

10:18 When I opened it, I was afraid that it would be soft. I didn't know what it was.

10:22 I could smell the stench."

10:24 Raul immediately reported to the local government and police station of Arteche, Eastern Samar,

10:30 where the black blocks were found.

10:32 When the police investigated the contents of the blocks,

10:37 illegal cocaine was confirmed and Raul was found in the sea.

10:41 It is estimated that the 20 blocks of cocaine were worth Php111 million.

10:50 "We requested for destruction in the court to burn the cocaine."

10:58 According to the chief of Arteche Municipal Police,

11:02 this is the second time that cocaine blocks were found in the sea in their town.

11:07 "This March, 20 cocaine bricks were recovered in Arteche's town in Eastern Samar.

11:14 Since 2009, 250 cocaine bricks have been recovered from the said province."

11:20 In the Philippines, it is noteworthy that Eastern Samar is located in the far end of the country.

11:28 The question is, where do the cocaine blocks come from that are floating in the sea?

11:37 "It came from the open sea, which is the Pacific Ocean.

11:40 During that time, based on the report of the Philippine Coast Guard and Navy,

11:47 it really floated and hit our sea, which is the right place in the sea of Samar."

11:54 In the investigation of the Philippine National Police or PNP,

11:59 a well-known drug syndicate group is behind the illegal drugs that are being smuggled in the country.

12:04 This includes the Mexican Drug Cartel.

12:08 "Based on its packaging, which is the triple Z,

12:11 it is believed to be a link on the Mexican Drug Cartel.

12:15 The name is Los Zetas."

12:19 In Samar, cocaine was found floating in the sea.

12:24 A suspect who was arrested in Cavite,

12:31 cocaine was placed in cookies and chocolate.

12:36 [Music]

12:42 August 2023,

12:43 a Ugandan national was arrested by the National Bureau of Investigation or NBI Task Force

12:54 against illegal drugs in Dasmariña City, Cavite.

12:57 When the NBI entered the house of Banyaga in the visa of Sir Chihuahuan,

13:02 various chemicals were found in the production of black cocaine.

13:06 Before the arrest of the Ugandan national,

13:09 two Filipinas were the first to be arrested by the NBI.

13:12 The suspects obtained 20 million pesos worth of black cocaine

13:17 mixed in cookies and chocolate.

13:19 They were the ones who taught the Ugandan national that he was making black cocaine.

13:24 "This is the first time that we discovered it in the Philippines.

13:29 We were able to discover a clandestine laboratory.

13:33 So this is where he manufactures it."

13:36 "This is the house that our suspect rented,

13:45 the implementation of Sir Chihuahuan.

13:47 So one Ugandan national said that the owner

13:50 was not going to stay for six months on his land."

13:53 According to one of the residents who became the suspect's neighbor,

13:58 he was first noticed in 2022 when the Banyaga's arrived and took over their land.

14:04 "When they arrived, they were in a group.

14:07 When they arrived, they were in prison.

14:09 I don't know what was happening inside.

14:12 Then, they were with the Filipinos."

14:15 The Ugandan national is currently in prison in the NBI detention facility.

14:19 The NBI said that the fugitive could not be deported

14:22 while the case is still being heard in court.

14:25 The two Filipinos were released and were first arrested

14:28 while the investigation is still ongoing.

14:31 The NBI believes that the member of the West African Drug Syndicate

14:37 is the one who was arrested by the Ugandan national.

14:39 The black cocaine that is made in the Philippines

14:41 is planned to be exported abroad.

14:44 In this case, Hong Kong is the target market of black cocaine.

14:48 What happens when they arrive in Hong Kong?

14:51 "There is still a processing to be done before they can consume it.

14:54 I get three kilos of black cocaine, a significant amount of drugs."

14:59 In Baguio City, the authorities started an action in a house of a Chinese national.

15:22 The people of the Police Regional Office Cordillera

15:25 and Baguio City Drug Enforcement Unit are armed.

15:27 The assault team carefully entered the target location

15:30 through the search warrant.

15:32 "Building cleared."

15:34 The police were able to find the 575 kilos of the suspected shabu

15:38 that was hidden in a tea bag.

15:40 The suspected shabu is estimated to be worth P4 billion.

15:45 We are trying to get the Baguio City Police Station's money

15:49 but they refused to give a statement

15:51 because the Chinese national is already hearing the case in court.

15:55 When the Baguio City PNP confirmed that the suspect who was arrested

16:01 in the BJMP Baguio City was the suspect of the case of violation of the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.

16:06 According to the NBI, three large drug syndicates are possible

16:12 that were stolen by illegal drug dealers in Samar, Baguio City, and Cavite.

16:19 This is the Mexican Drug Cartel, African Drug Syndicate, and Chinese Triad.

16:25 According to the data released by the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency or PDEA,

16:29 the number of Filipinos who are couriers of syndicates involved in drug trafficking has increased.

16:35 From the two arrests in 1993, it has reached more than 700 in the present.

16:48 What are the challenges that you are facing?

16:51 Because of the law, it's very restrictive on the part of law enforcement.

16:56 The wiretap, the bank account, the secrecy of bank deposits, that's the fight.

17:04 We don't have new technology. We're really behind.

17:09 For the year 2023, the value of the illegal drug was reached to P10.41 billion.

17:16 The question is, why is this continuing?

17:19 And it seems that the drug trafficking is spreading in the country.

17:23 We need to accept the fact that it is a challenge.

17:28 The personnel, vessels, and equipment that can guard the bomb border of our country are not enough

17:36 since it is really open.

17:42 For the NBI, they admitted that corruption is one of the reasons why illegal drugs are easily spread in the country.

17:49 They all came from a foreign country.

17:53 In order to stop drug trafficking in the country, it must start there, at the border, the first line of defense.

18:01 Raul is happy that he was able to help in the transfer and surrender of a million-peso drug worth of drugs in the sea.

18:07 I feel very happy that I was able to do that.

18:09 The government is still in the hands of the government so that there will be no illegal drugs that can enter the country.

18:17 The authorities admitted that they don't have enough capacity to guard the border of the Philippines.

18:24 How can this problem be solved?

18:27 Until next Saturday, I am Macky Pulido and this is the Reporter's Notebook.
