Dump truck stolen, sold by Bulacan LGU utility helper, 3 others
According to Oscar Oida's Monday report on '24 Oras,' CCTV footage showed the two men driving away the truck from the Municipal Engineering Office.
Based on police investigation, the suspects brought the truck to a wet market in Guiguinto, Bulacan, loaded it into a bigger truck the next day, and passed through the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX).
The suspects are the Municipal Engineering Office's utility helper, his wife and cousin, and another person.
The suspects allegedly sold the truck for P100,000 to a buyer from San Mateo, Rizal, who resold the truck for P400,000 after allegedly producing fake documents.
Authorities, by backtracking of CCTV footage, found the stolen truck with the second buyer after two weeks.
The four suspects are facing carnapping charges.
Meanwhile, authorities are looking into filing charges against the buyers for violating the Anti-Fencing Law. —Mariel Celine Serquiña/LDF, GMA Integrated News

Schools urged to report bullying cases by CWC
The Council for the Welfare of Children (CWC) on Monday urged schools to report bullying cases to authorities as the implementing rules and regulations of the Anti-Bullying Act mandates educational institutions to respond promptly on such cases. 'Hindi po lingid sa kaalaman natin, and I think the MAKABATA Helpline also received a couple of reports of schools seemingly sweeping cases under the rug, so to speak. Hindi po nila gustong simulan siguro o inaayos, pero dito po sa bagong implementing rules and regulations na ito, they are required really to take in cases and to respond and to process iyong mga reports po sa kanila,' said CWC executive director Angelo Tapales in Bagong Pilipinas Ngayon. (It's no secret to us, and I think the MAKABATA Helpline also received a couple of reports of schools seemingly sweeping cases under the rug, so to speak. They probably didn't want to initiate or address these, but with these new implementing rules and regulations, they are really required to take on cases and to respond to and process the reports made to them.) The agency pointed out that hiding bullying cases wouldn't mean a positive image for the school. '.... Zero reporting doesn't mean positive performance of school. So, iyong mga ibang schools, at kaunti lang naman iyan, hindi naman lagi at maraming sumusunod naman talaga eskuwelahan, do not sweep it under the rag because it doesn't follow that because a school receives zero reports that the school is really performing well,' he added. (... Zero reporting doesn't mean positive performance for a school. So, for some schools—and there are only a few of them, most schools do follow regulations—do not sweep it under the rug, because it doesn't follow that just because a school receives zero reports, that the school is really performing well.) The CWC official warned that it will report to the Department of Education (DepEd) the schools that will not comply with the anti-bullying law's implementing rules and regulations. 'And, of course, sa part naman po ng Council for the Welfare of Children, if we receive reports through the MAKABATA Helpline 1383, that public and private schools are not really responding properly to bullying and complying with the implementing rules and regulations, we will, of course, report you to DepEd for proper action and investigation po,' said Tapales. (And, of course, on the part of the Council for the Welfare of Children, if we receive reports through the MAKABATA Helpline 1383 that public and private schools are not properly responding to bullying and complying with the implementing rules and regulations, we will, of course, report you to DepEd for proper action and investigation.) The CWC and the DepEd earlier signed a memorandum of understanding linking CWC's MAKABATA Helpline 1383 to DepEd's hotline. 'Kasi gusto nating mas tutukan pa lahat ng forms ng violence against children sa eskuwelahan lalung-lalo na iyong bullying,' said Tapales. (This is because we want to focus more on all forms of violence against children in schools, especially bullying.) Last January, the Second Congressional Commission on Education (EDCOM II) sounded the alarm regarding bullying cases among students despite the existing policies and efforts to protect them and to address bullying incidents. Citing the 2018 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), the commission noted that 65% of Grade 10 students in the Philippines experienced bullying a 'few times' a month, which was the highest among all participating countries. In the 2022 PISA, there was a slight decline in reports, but it was emphasized that one in three students still faced weekly bullying. The resolution of bullying cases in the Philippines seemingly 'moved at a glacial pace,' with only 38 out of 339 (11%) of the reported cases getting resolved between November 2022 and July 2024, based on data by the DepEd Learner Rights and Protection Office. — RF, GMA Integrated News

Synthetic cannabinoid found in ‘tuklaw' puffed in QC, Palawan
Authorities confirmed that a chemical was mixed into the 'black cigarette' or 'tuklaw' that was puffed by several individuals in separate incidents in Quezon City and Palawan. According to Marisol Abdurahman's report on '24 Oras' on Friday, laboratory tests conducted by the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) showed that synthetic cannabinoid was found in the samples - a chemical that mimics natural cannabinoid from marijuana, and it is prohibited under the Dangerous Drugs Act. 'Prohibited po 'yan pero sa ngayon, hindi pa final yung report natin,' said PDEA spokesperson Joseph Calulut. (It's prohibited, but our report is not yet final.) PDEA said that the convulsion experienced by the individuals who smoked 'tuklaw' in the viral videos is an effect of the synthetic cannabinoid. 'Yung specific spectra ng cannabinoid na 'yun, it can cause epilepsy and we have literature on that,' Calulut said, adding that 'it can cause death.' The black cigarette originated in Northern Vietnam and is known there as 'thuoc lao." It is much stronger than normal tobacco cigarettes as it has 9% nicotine compared to regular ones. 'Mayroon silang system na ginagamit kung paano yung tamang paggamit niyan. Hindi siya in cigarette form,' said Calulut. (They follow a system on how to use it properly. It's not used in cigarette form.) PDEA is currently awaiting the results of the test conducted by a private laboratory. Once it gets the results, it will submit a report to the Dangerous Drugs Board that will issue a regulation on synthetic cannabinoid, the report added. —Vince Angelo Ferreras/LDF, GMA Integrated News
