| The Bitag team goes where no other local media has gone before - in the middle of an actual firefight between New People's Army rebels and the military.

Tensions between Ben and the Barangays' board members escalate when their chairman demands for the camera to be turned off, leading to a short but physical scrum. The incident was inaccurately reported by rival TV stations as an ugly melee. | ||||
| "Pekeng Sekyu" | August 9, 2003 | |||
| The Bitag team tests how easy it was to apply as a guard for a security agency by instructing an undercover to use falsified papers processed at Recto, Manila in his application. To their surprise, the undercover is successfully hired without any formal training or due process. Ben subsequently coordinates with the SAGSD to look on the case. | ||||
| "Forcibly Taken" | October 11, 2003 | |||
| A man's SUV is stolen in full view of the camera by two men riding a motorcycle while buying food at an adjacent lechon dealer.

| Posing as corrupt representatives for a large oil firm, a pair of Bitag undercovers along with CIDG operatives, pounce on a Paihi (the unethical buying-and-selling of company oil obtained from truck drivers/individuals with connections to oil companies that sell it in the black market) syndicate operating at C-5 Road, Taguig. | ||||
| "Kawatan" | December 20, 2003 | |||

Famous quotes containing the word season:
“Let us have a good many maples and hickories and scarlet oaks, then, I say. Blaze away! Shall that dirty roll of bunting in the gun-house be all the colors a village can display? A village is not complete, unless it have these trees to mark the season in it. They are important, like the town clock. A village that has them not will not be found to work well. It has a screw loose, an essential part is wanting.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
