00:06 According to the Oil Industry Management Bureau,

00:09 the price of diesel and gasoline is more than a peso per liter next week.

00:15 The price of kerosene is more than two pesos per liter.

00:19 The price of an oil industry source is also high for diesel and gasoline.

00:26 The Island Transport Group is asking for a two-peso increase in the price of diesel and gasoline

00:30 due to the upcoming oil price hike.

00:33 Maris Umali is a witness.

00:35 [Music]

00:38 Azala, an incoming freshman, is driving a jeep to school and home to save money.

00:45 That's why she's not happy with the increase in the price of diesel and gasoline.

00:51 [Speaking in Tagalog]

00:57 Earlier, she went to the LTFRB and gave a letter to some transport groups

01:00 to ask for a two-peso increase in the price of diesel and gasoline

01:03 for the first four kilometers of the trip.

01:05 The increase is now at 12 pesos.

01:07 [Speaking in Tagalog]

01:16 [Speaking in Tagalog]

01:31 But the LTFRB said that the letter should not be written, but a verified petition should be filed.

01:36 Maybe the letter will be delivered by the board because it's a letter.

01:39 Maybe they will discuss it, but not on an official hearing because it's not a formal petition.

01:45 Maybe the board will discuss the content of the letter,

01:49 but not on the premise that it will be delivered for the merits of the increase in fare.

01:55 But the transport groups said that they don't need to file a verified petition

02:00 because there's a circulating memorandum circular 2019-035.

02:05 This memorandum circular is an automatic fare adjustment formula

02:12 that if the fuel price increases, we should also increase.

02:17 But the LTFRB said that a verified petition from the transport groups is still needed

02:22 if they can fulfill their request.

02:24 Maybe we will do it so that there's no discussion.

02:30 Maybe we will file it on Monday because we need a solution to the problem of diesel.

02:36 Some drivers are content with a 12-peso minimum fare for the jeep.

02:41 There's still time to ask for an additional fare.

02:44 Because if we increase the fare, more people will suffer.

02:47 Some passengers are concerned if the fare will increase.

02:51 The two pesos is heavy for us students,

02:56 but they also need it because the price of fuel and gas is also increasing.

03:02 In the projection of the Department of Energy, the price of oil products is increasing.

03:09 But this is the sixth oil price hike in the past week.

03:13 In a statement of Super Radio-DZ BB,

03:15 Attorney Rino Abad, director of the Oil Industry Management Bureau,

03:19 the adjustment resulted in a decrease in the daily oil production in Saudi Arabia.

03:24 For GMA Integrated News, I'm Maris Umali, your witness.

03:30 After more than 17 years in prison,

03:35 former Major General Carlos Garcia is now free.

03:39 According to the Bureau of Corrections,

03:41 there are no legal grounds for Garcia to remain in New Believed Prison.

03:45 Garcia was sentenced by the Sandigan Bayan Second Division

03:48 to four to eight years in prison for direct bribery

03:52 and four to six years for money laundering.

03:56 The former official was also sentenced for perjury.

04:01 Garcia was also included in the Pabaon scandal,

04:03 which is the receipt of a large retirement bonus

04:06 at the term of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

04:09 In the Sandigan Bayan,

04:11 it was found that he was involved in a fraud

04:14 that amounted to P300 million when the AFP was still serving as a controller.

04:20 The AFP is planning to hire fishermen in the Kalayaan Islands

04:26 to help them to guard the West Philippine Sea.

04:30 The group of fishermen agreed,

04:32 but they have a condition.

04:34 Witness, Chino Gaston.

04:36 In the incident that resulted in the bombing of the China Coast Guard's water cannon

04:43 at the Philippine Resupply Mission in Yungin Shoal,

04:46 along with the fishing militia of China,

04:49 which blocked and attacked the Filipinos,

04:51 in the last phase of the AFP Western Command,

04:53 almost 500 fishing vehicles in the West Philippine Sea

04:58 were attacked by the fishing militia.

05:00 85% of those were controlled by the Chinese Coast Guard.

05:03 The other fishing militia of Vietnam and other countries

05:06 that are allowed to enter the area.

05:08 The Philippines does not have its own fishing militia.

05:11 That is why the AFP is planning to recruit fishermen in the Kalayaan Islands

05:15 to guard the West Philippine Sea.

05:17 We will also make our fisherfolks reservists

05:20 and we will teach them how they can help in defending our country.

05:26 The group of fishermen in the Kalayaan Islands agreed,

05:28 but they said that they should not be armed.

05:31 We will give them the expatriate port.

05:34 That is okay. That is also good.

05:36 We will help them.

05:38 If we have weapons, we will not allow it, sir.

05:40 Because it might be more dangerous for the fishermen.

05:43 The fishermen in the Kalayaan Islands are avoiding the Chinese ships.

05:48 They are also afraid that they might be water cannoned

05:51 or even attacked by the Chinese.

05:54 This is what happened to the resupply ships in Ayunginson.

05:57 With the resupply mission of August 5,

05:59 several Philippine Navy ships were also affected.

06:01 But the Philippine Navy ships were not aware of the situation

06:04 because they did not reach the point of life of the Filipinos.

06:08 Our Navy ships stayed back and are ready.

06:12 If it will escalate, we are ready to go in to provide assistance.

06:17 For GMA Integrated News, who is your guest?

06:23 More than 300 applicants were hired on the spot

06:26 in the announced job fair in Pasig City.

06:29 Witness, Sandra Aguinaldo.

06:31 In the job fair of Pasig City Local Government,

06:37 I met 20-year-old Rika Manga while she is fishing in the Kalay.

06:42 She finished her senior high so she will work with the college.

06:46 Aside from helping the fishermen in hiding from her brother,

06:52 I will be a working student so I will not ask for allowance from my mother.

06:56 Mika Guangco is 19 years old.

06:59 Her dream is to become a chef.

07:01 But for now, she is looking for a part-time job before going to college.

07:06 I am looking for an extra income and for the needs in school.

07:12 Good thing for Franz Jacob de Real,

07:15 he has already finished his BS Marine Transportation.

07:18 He is looking for a job experience.

07:21 All that can be applied, apply for it.

07:24 Instead of staying at home.

07:26 In more than 2,000 vacancies allocated in this job fair in a mall,

07:31 341 applicants were hired on the spot.

07:36 Among those who can apply,

07:38 there are nurses, caregivers, nail technicians, and hairdressers abroad.

07:43 What is right is that some are over age,

07:48 some don't have a passport, some are too young.

07:51 So the qualifications and positions that we are looking for, we cannot get.

07:56 For GMA Integrated News, Sandra Aguinaldo is your witness.

08:02 We will now taste the action scenes of David Licauco

08:10 in the long-awaited Kapuso series, "Namaging Sino Ka Maano".

08:14 And Marian Rivera has a simple birthday celebration with the cast and crew of her upcoming series.

08:21 Here is the showbiz witness, Lar Santiago.

08:24 It's an early birthday celebration for Kapuso's prime time queen, Marian Rivera.

08:34 After preparing a simple yet special lunch for the set of her upcoming series,

08:42 "Against All Odds", what is Yanyan's birthday wish this year?

08:47 There are so many. I hope the celebrations will continue.

08:51 I'm very happy.

08:53 Her leading man in the series, Gabby Concepcion,

08:57 also did not miss out on the thanks to Marian for her kindness and generosity on set.

09:05 The actor also told us about his upcoming reunion concert with the one and only megastar, Sharon Cuneta this October.

09:14 I think there will be no rehearsal because this will happen on the spot.

09:18 I'm excited. A lot of people are calling me and asking for tickets.

09:22 And speaking of concerts, it's finally happening.

09:30 Because this December 2, the Queendom Live concert at Newport Performing Arts Theater.

09:37 The British Queen, Narita Daniela, Jessica Villarubin, Thea Ashley, Marianne Osabel,

09:46 Hannah Prezillas, and Asia's Limitless star, Julian San Jose, are all ready.

09:51 The concert was produced by GMA Synergy in coordination with GMA Entertainment Group.

09:59 According to Julian, a lot of fans are requesting that they should have a concert.

10:05 Of course, we're all very excited because we're just broadcasting numbers on AOS and now we're having a concert finally.

10:15 The Queen, who was very fierce before, also participated in a photoshoot.

10:23 Senior Vice President and Head for GMA Integrated News, Regional TV, and Synergy, Oliver Victor B. Amoroso, also supervised the pictorial.

10:35 Tickets will start selling this August 14 on GMA Synergy website and Ticketworld.

10:44 If the vibes of the singers are fierce, David Licauco's hot take is a lot of bad boy vibes.

10:54 For his love, you can be anyone.

10:59 David's clothing is also very hot, in denim jacket and black sandals.

11:05 We should also look forward to his upcoming scenes with Barbie Corteza.

11:12 For GMA Integrated News, your witness is R. Santiago.

11:19 A new attraction is now open between Pasig and Quezon City.

11:26 The Dambuhala Art Installation is a testament to the success of Filipinos, whatever the time.

11:33 Witness, Rocky Tima.

11:39 They are so high that they can reach the sky.

11:42 Who wouldn't be amazed by the height of the art installation on the boundary of Pasig and Quezon City.

11:50 That is The Vector, one of the highest public art installations in the world.

11:58 Designed by film artist Jeffrey Manuel Figueras.

12:03 It's 200 feet or 60 meters. It's even higher than the Statue of Liberty in New York when its pedestal is removed.

12:09 It's really the global Filipino and it's to honor those hardworking Filipinos that are doing global accomplishments.

12:16 And still sort of honoring their Filipino pride.

12:21 This is also a symbol of the strength of Filipinos.

12:27 It's like a solid statue. The stone is perforated. It's designed to withstand strong storms.

12:33 In order for the air and the wind to pass through. We want this as an inspiration to everyone.

12:39 The Vector also made a target to serve as a lucky charm for Filipinos who will join competitions.

12:46 There's going to be a podium here by the foot of the Vector in which all of the ones who want to compete in the future,

12:53 can go up there and they can put their hands on the feet of the Vector. So that every time they do so,

12:57 it's like the whole country is wishing them luck.

13:00 It's not yet formally opened. It's being illuminated, so it's an instant attraction for those who want to take a selfie.

13:08 It can be displayed in international locations and tourist spots.

13:13 It's also relaxing to look at. So every time I pass by here, I still look at it.

13:20 For GMA Integrated News, your Raffy Tima. Saksi!

13:24 Thank you Igan for your saksi. I'm Arnold Glavio.

13:30 I'm Pia Arcangel for a bigger mission and a wider service to the country.

13:37 From GMA Integrated News, the news authority of Filipinos.

13:42 Together we will be... Saksi!
