Transcript

00:00A group of men who seem to be having fun on City Road in Caloocan City was complained by a truck driver in R-R-Recibo.

00:11He claimed that he received P1,000 for passing trucks to Yarda or else no pay, no entry route.

00:20In March of this year, a concerned citizen named Ron came to R-R-Recibo.

00:27According to him, they are not able to pass through City Road to enter a container yard in Caloocan City.

00:34The group of men behind him are in the area.

00:39When I started in 2017, that's how they treat us.

00:43It's not like that anymore.

00:45But now, it's getting worse.

00:47Even if you're in the front row, they won't let you in because they don't have vacancies.

00:56There's no vacancy in the front row.

00:58But look at the front row.

01:00I observed that there's a problem.

01:02Ron added that they are paying P1,000 to the group.

01:07It's more expensive than the toll fee.

01:09You have a problem with that, sir?

01:14If you're going to give P100, you should go to the penalty area.

01:19So that you can be allowed to enter.

01:21Sometimes, if they don't know your trucking, they will tell you later that there's a problem.

01:26If they know your trucking, you will automatically be allowed to enter.

01:29You will be given P100.

01:31Ron tried to get in, but it seems that the king ordered a no-pay, no-entry.

01:37I don't have enough space.

01:39I tried to get in, but they blocked me.

01:41I couldn't do anything. I tried to get out.

01:43We were affected because our transaction was delayed.

01:47So you have no choice.

01:49You need to fight for your right to enter.

01:51We experienced that our boss won't give us our right.

01:54We got there in the middle of the night.

01:56I tried to get in, but it took me six hours.

01:59We couldn't do anything.

02:00We tried to get in.

02:02Sometimes, Ron's trucking stopped being guarded by the police in 2022.

02:07But after a few months, business as usual for the group.

02:12Ron also added that there are times when the queue is too long.

02:17People can't stand it anymore because the drivers are leaving.

02:21That's why they went to the barangay.

02:23They left the barangay.

02:25They were the first ones to go there.

02:26The barangay cannot not know about this.

02:27Because of the queue, Ron called for...

02:30I just want them to stop what they're doing.

02:34They're abusing us, the truck drivers.

02:36We want them to be fair to us.

02:38So that the drivers will stop what they're doing.

02:42What if we don't know the truck drivers there?

02:46On the night of March 27, the receiver, Manmanan, started complaining to the group.

02:51Along Citri Road, you can see the trucks entering the area one after another.

02:56A man was on the radio and he was in charge of the queue.

03:02Later, a truck driver got off and it seemed that he was paid by the truck drivers.

03:08They're abusing us, the truck drivers.

03:12They're abusing us.

03:14On March 28, the sun rose but the queue for the payment did not stop.

03:24On March 31, the receiver approached the PNP Highway Patrol Group,

03:29which was called by Concerned Citizen.

03:31The PNP-HPG immediately conducted surveillance.

03:34There they are.

03:36Those are the people.

03:38Those are the queues.

03:39They're going to rob all of them.

03:41Someone is really giving, sir.

03:43Ah, confirm.

03:45Someone is really giving.

03:47They're really reaching.

03:50The next day, April 1, the PNP Highway Patrol Group and the receiver committed a chocolate operation.

03:56Sir, based on the information we received from the PNP Highway Patrol Group,

03:59what is the amount you're giving?

04:01When you reach P500 up to P1,000,

04:04it means that if you give a big amount, you'll be the first to enter.

04:10If you don't give anything, you'll be stuck here.

04:14Your truck will be stuck here.

04:16Then, there will be a robbery here.

04:18The drivers will be caught here.

04:20So you need to pay tollgate.

04:23Yes, sir.

04:24So that you can enter here.

04:26The complaint of these people,

04:29up to this point,

04:30there's a wide gap in that area of Caloocan.

04:34It was first brought to the Receiver program

04:37through a Facebook page.

04:39We brought this to the Intelligence Branch of the PNP Highway Patrol Group

04:44and every hour, they committed a police operation.

04:48When it comes to the highway,

04:50you can see the men sitting in a store next to the road.

04:54The trucks were able to enter,

04:56so the authorities decided to continue the operation the next day.

05:04On April 2, the authorities left again

05:06along with the receiver in the corner of C3 Road.

05:10The operatives waited again

05:12for the good news that they will be serving good judgment.

05:15While the operatives were waiting for the good news

05:17that they will be serving good judgment,

05:19they saw a man in black

05:22who seemed to be broadcasting at the end of the street.

05:25He's broadcasting.

05:26He's broadcasting a video.

05:28Who? Who?

05:29Later.

05:35The operatives' vehicle went down

05:37to confront the robbers.

05:39Let's go.

05:53Why do you have radios behind you?

05:54So that they won't be in traffic, sir.

05:56So that they won't be in traffic?

05:57But the money goes to the truck drivers.

06:00They just give it to us, sir.

06:02They just give it to you? How much?

06:03This much.

06:04I don't know, sir.

06:05We were able to collect the money in 2020, sir.

06:08In 2020.

06:09And in 2020, this bus will be completed, right?

06:13We were able to collect the money, sir.

06:15Later, the authorities saw the compartment of the motorcycle

06:18that was being put money by the suspects.

06:20This is their motorcycle, sir.

06:22They're hiding it here.

06:24They're hiding it here.

06:25I saw them putting money here earlier.

06:28They're putting money here earlier.

06:34Look, he's paying for it.

06:36He's paying for it.

06:38Get him, get him.

06:46The suspects were able to receive the money.

06:49We're busy, of course.

06:51We're neighbors.

06:52We don't have jobs.

06:53I have two children.

06:55I'm sick.

06:57I don't have a job.

06:59That's why I'm on the streets.

07:01But the men are refusing the accusation

07:04that they're not giving money to the trucks that are not paying.

07:07How true is that, sir?

07:09That's not possible, sir.

07:11Why?

07:12How much will they give?

07:13We're not accepting that.

07:14They're giving it to me, sir.

07:16That's the smallest one, right?

07:18And then, the road.

07:20The biggest road.

07:21I told him, sir, that I shouldn't have gone inside.

07:25There was traffic.

07:26Everyone helped me while I was selling.

07:28The barangay that is located in Kanto and Yardang

07:31received a receipt.

07:33According to them,

07:35they don't know that someone is still starving in the area.

07:39I got a call from him.

07:41I called the owner of the trucks,

07:44the one in charge of NCT,

07:46so that he can solve the issue.

07:48Sometimes, the barangay issued a reminder

07:50that they won't give money to anyone who is begging in C3.

07:54But a few months later,

07:56the barangay that is being complained about

07:58came back to the scene.

08:00Actually, we know that there's no one there

08:03because there's no one passing by the truck.

08:05Our problem there is that

08:07that's the main road there.

08:09And we can't be involved in the system

08:12of their entry.

08:14It's hard to put people there

08:16because, as I said,

08:17they're just people.

08:18Sometimes, you don't know if they will be put there,

08:20if they will be given.

08:21But right now,

08:22they didn't give me anything.

08:24The container yard that is being filled

08:26by the trucks with their containers

08:28was also targeted by R-Recibo.

08:30But no one came to us

08:32to give a statement.

08:34The four suspects in the extortionate robbery case

08:37were found guilty.

08:39They were sentenced to 6 to 15 years in prison.

08:43According to the PNP-HPG,

08:45they will not stop feeding this part of C3.

08:49It's too wide to talk about extortion.

08:52They can call Article 294

08:55or the robbery with intimidation

08:57that there is a penalty of imprisonment

08:59that is not less than 6 years

09:01and 1 day to 12 years.

09:03If they have a chance to experience it,

09:07they will immediately help

09:09and give us information.

09:12Once our Highway Patrol Group got that,

09:15we will immediately start the operation.

09:22Reminders to all street vendors

09:24and street vendors

09:27that every road was built

09:29for the people

09:30so that they can have a free passage

09:31and for them to benefit.
