00:07 Good morning. Here are the first news of GMA Integrated News.

00:11 Gemboy Baltazar was buried yesterday.

00:14 He was 17 years old when he was killed by police in Botas after he committed a wrongful suspect.

00:19 His family decided to raise the complaint against the police for murder

00:23 from reckless imprudence resulting in homicide.

00:26 Last night, the Baltazar family faced six police officers who filed a complaint.

00:30 The police apologized to Gemboy's mother, Rodaniza, but she did not confess to the murder.

00:36 At a mass for Gemboy, the local bishop, Pablo Virgilio David, gave a message to the police.

00:42 "Brother police officers, you are not the law. You are just servants of the law.

00:54 You are not the law. You are not dressed in uniform, armed, and paid by the government to kill."

01:04 "I asked you why you apologized. You said you were just doing me a favor.

01:11 That's not right. I saw your face. You have no heart to apologize.

01:19 You are just servants of the law. You are just shooting me."

01:24 A police chief, Colonel Alan Umipig, also attended the mass for Gemboy Baltazar.

01:32 According to Umipig, he respects the decision to remove him from his post.

01:36 But he refused to make a cover-up because he was the one who filed the complaint.

01:41 Aside from him, 17 police officers were also removed from their posts and the complaint is being filed.

01:46 Currently, 20 police officers are facing criminal charges while 3 are facing administrative charges.

01:52 The local government is trying to get the other suspects.

01:56 According to the Northern Police District, they saw many holes in the operation,

02:00 such as the apparent abandonment of the operatives to Gemboy.

02:03 Gemboy's relatives took his body from the river.

02:06 Later, we will talk to the NCR or NPD for additional details about Gemboy's case.

02:15 [Music]

02:17 "The body-worn camera is included in the lapses.

02:26 The suspect did not go under the parapet.

02:39 The police should have given him first aid if he was injured or wounded.

02:51 He should have been taken to the hospital or to the doctor.

02:56 The Chinese government's budget hearing questioned the Chinese government's decision to be a contractor for several projects in the country.

03:03 The government also proposed a bigger fund for flood control projects than the agriculture sector.

03:09 This is the first news of Sandra Aguinaldo.

03:11 It is often said that infrastructure projects add to the work.

03:19 But when the Coast Guard and Bureau of Immigration inspected the ships that were looting the land in Manila Bay,

03:27 most of the victims were foreigners.

03:31 We are intent to work with Bureau of Immigration of course.

03:36 Okay, we will prepare a video for you. Okay.

03:39 More than 400 Chinese ships in Manila Bay were found to be in need of processing by the Immigration.

03:47 There was no particular project mentioned in the Senate.

03:51 But there was a question raised by Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri.

03:56 Can the government not have the project made by Chinese contractors?

04:01 It makes no sense for us to give billions of pesos to a Chinese contractor state-owned who will bring the profits back to China

04:12 so that we can cook ourselves in our own oil paid by Filipino taxpayers' money.

04:20 The Senate budget briefing also pointed out why China's contractor is the one who is giving the project.

04:26 Now, there are other countries that are helping the Philippines under the Official Development Assistance or ODA.

04:34 China accounted for a mere 0.8% of the estimated 13 billion dollars received.

04:40 These are the statistics, Mr. Chair SP.

04:43 While for example Japan on the other hand accounted for 40.3% of the total.

04:50 And in that list, China also trailed Australia, South Korea, the European Union and France.

04:57 Potential impact on the economy for possible delays in the projects that will be affected.

05:03 And of course we have to shift to the financing for those projects that have been requested from China.

05:09 Because of the huge list or the long list of infrastructure projects that we want to do,

05:16 we're running out of workers in the Philippines.

05:18 We need foreign workers, maybe Indian workers, Chinese workers.

05:23 I think we all have to stand up for what's happening in the West Philippine Sea.

05:26 And according to the workers in the country, the economic managers were asked if they can implement a 150 wage increase.

05:36 The finance department said...

05:39 The inflation might increase.

05:41 Wages could be passed on by businesses, industries and other institutions to consumers.

05:47 More people will be affected.

05:49 It was also questioned in more than 7 hours of briefing why the flood control projects have a higher fund.

05:56 Compared to the fund of the sector of agriculture, the government's priority is food security.

06:02 Why did you allow one item in the budget of DPWH to be bigger than the Department of Agriculture?

06:10 Not only the Department of Agriculture, the entire agriculture sector for that matter.

06:16 The flood control might have a bigger share, Senator Chies.

06:21 As mentioned above, the requested increase in the budget for defense in our territories.

06:28 The government should have a better oversight in the reclamation projects.

06:34 And the lack of funding for aid and social protection will be difficult.

06:39 The budget department has continued to discuss this, but they will also discuss that it will be difficult to give.

06:46 And because the Maharlika Investment Fund is already in the law,

06:49 Minority Leader Senator Coco Pimentel asked about this requested budget for the next year.

06:56 Particularly for the BSP dividends, as it is now, sir, it is still BSP dividends.

07:02 It is still in the BSF until it is used as capitalization for the MIC.

07:09 But there is no further appropriation for the law.

07:16 I'm just telling you that if that is the interpretation that opens a can of worms, Mr. Chairman, that is very dangerous.

07:26 This is the first news. Sandra Aguinaldo for GMA Integrated News.
