00:09 Good morning! Here are the first news of GMA Integrated News.

00:13 Today is the first day of the opening of the class. Let us know the situation in their school.

00:18 Ivan Mayrina is in Nagpayong Elementary School. Ivan, how are you?

00:24 Do you remember, Susan and Igan, the feeling of the first day of school? New uniform, new shoes, new haircut, new bath.

00:34 That is what we see now. That is why the energy here is so good.

00:38 Nagpayong Elementary School was the first in the list of all the elementary schools in the country.

00:47 This year, the number of students has increased to 11,600. This year, the number of students in Nagpayong Elementary School is back to 100% face-to-face.

01:00 To know the preparations for this school year, we will talk to the principal of Nagpayong Elementary School, Ms. Emelita Medina.

01:12 Ma'am, good morning. Thank you very much for inviting me here.

01:18 How is your preparation? 11,800 students, this is the highest number. Are our classrooms and teachers enough?

01:26 Our classrooms are enough. We have maximized the number of classrooms and of course the number of teachers.

01:32 However, the population is increasing, so we are still expecting for additional teachers.

01:40 But for now, are we expecting for additional enrollees? We already know that there are people who are coming to the public schools.

01:46 Actually, last year we only have 11,688 and then we have 11,894 already. And there are more coming.

01:57 But they are welcome, of course.

01:59 Yes, welcome. Although our deadline is August 26, we still need to accept it.

02:05 Because we said that no children will be left behind.

02:09 Okay. We are 100% face-to-face. Are there existing health protocols that we are being followed?

02:16 I see that there are some children wearing masks, but those are just optional.

02:20 Yes, those are just optional. But then we have our thermal scanner, our thermal guns are ready.

02:27 And then our washing facilities, our sanitizers, alcohol, are still present in every classroom.

02:36 And then after that, we have misting because we are double-shift. So we are still sanitizing our classrooms.

02:42 Ma'am, in your school, we can see that it is clean and tidy. But were you affected by the recent typhoon?

02:49 Were there any facilities damaged? Are there any modules for the children?

02:53 No, no. God is merciful. It is raining, but they are still able to get through.

03:00 We can also see that there are a lot of people here. There are a lot of parents. Are they really allowing the parents to go out?

03:07 Yes, in grade 1. You can see the road outside. It is very dirty.

03:13 If we allow the parents to gather, it will really be a mess.

03:17 So what we did, we allowed the grade 1 to go up to this stairs and then go out to the other stairs so that the outside is clean.

03:26 So the parents are already used to it.

03:29 So you allowed the morning and afternoon sessions. Morning session is from?

03:33 There are 6 o'clock and 6.30. We cannot let them go in at the same time because our gate is small. We have limited space in the school.

03:42 And then in the afternoon, what time are the sessions?

03:45 There are 12 o'clock, 12.30, and 12.40 so that they do not have to go in at the same time. Their schedule is tight.

03:50 Alright. Maybe you have a last message for our viewers on the first day of school. Go ahead, ma'am.

03:57 To all the parents, thank you very much for all the support to the school.

04:02 And of course, our partners, our volunteer parents who are still with us,

04:09 who guide our children who sometimes get left behind in the list but they are there.

04:16 The parents are always worried.

04:18 And of course, to DepEd, the early guidelines that they give to the schools, it really helped a lot.

04:26 Ma'am, thank you very much. Good luck for the school year ahead.

04:29 Thank you very much.

04:31 We have already talked to the principal of Nagpang Elementary School, Mrs. Medina.

04:34 And as we can see, the number of students is still increasing.

04:38 And at 7 in the morning, there will be a flag ceremony on the first day of school this school year.

04:44 Let's go back to the studio.

04:46 Another problem is the lack of facilities in some schools, Sir Rodriguez Rizal.

04:50 The parents are working for the tables and chairs of the children.

04:55 Let's go see Mackie Polido.

04:56 The new school year will start.

05:01 That's why the staff of San Jose Elementary School, Sir Rodriguez Rizal,

05:05 is already chasing the making of tables for the grade 6 students.

05:09 Because the remaining chairs are only a few pieces for the classes in grade 6.

05:13 That's why some parents are already rushing to buy materials.

05:18 We have a monoblock desk.

05:22 But it's hard to sit on it because it's very brittle.

05:25 And if you sit on it for a long time, it will break.

05:30 Until it's all gone.

05:33 In the hardship of life, it's not a joke to spend P100 and buy monoblock chairs.

05:38 Because the remaining funds are limited,

05:41 only two out of four tables for the classes of Eveline's grandson will be made.

05:45 But to be able to buy materials, Eveline's grandson's father did not buy the materials.

05:51 I bought monoblock chairs for the kids.

05:53 And also for the table.

05:57 In the nearby San Jose National High School,

06:00 not only are the tables and chairs a problem, but also the children's back.

06:04 The CR is a big problem for the students who are studying here.

06:09 For 4,000 female students,

06:13 they can only use these three cubicles.

06:17 The same is true for male students, only three cubicles.

06:21 Because the toilets have no flush, they have to pour water.

06:25 And the water for the flush will come from this bucket.

06:29 The water for washing their hands is also a problem.

06:33 For female students, this faucet is the only thing that works.

06:38 For male students, no faucet works.

06:43 Because there are only 22 classrooms for 4,000 students,

06:47 80 students will be required to sit in each classroom.

06:52 It used to be possible because the children's classes are on alternative days.

06:56 But because they notice that the children are not learning much this year,

07:00 the teachers want to try the five-day morning and afternoon shift.

07:06 The lesson has no continuity.

07:09 After a day, they will meet their subject teachers again.

07:13 The retention of other students is not as good as we expected.

07:21 But in the issue of lack of classrooms,

07:23 the solution for DepEd is shifting or blended learning.

07:27 The classroom shortage in the country is 159,000.

07:31 Especially if there are 80 classes, they can divide it

07:36 and share it in a number of days in a week for the face-to-face

07:39 mixed with distance learning modality.

07:42 So that is the long-term solution that we are looking at.

07:46 The shortage of school furniture like tables and chairs

07:50 is continued to be pushed by the agency.

07:52 More than 22 million students return to school

07:56 despite shortages and other problems.

07:59 DepEd said that all systems go on the first day of school.

08:04 Here is the first news, Mackie Pulido for JEMAI Integrated News.

08:08 The teachers who attended the first day of class

08:12 in their school in Ilocos Sur had a lot of problems.

08:15 The classrooms were flooded because of the Goring Flood.

08:19 We have the first live news, Ivy Hernando of JEMAI Regional TV,

08:23 One North Central Luzon. Ivy.

08:29 The flood reached Pantay Tamurong Elementary School of Kawayan, Ilocos Sur

08:34 after a few days of heavy rain caused by the Goring Flood.

08:38 The teachers of Pantay Tamurong Elementary School

08:45 had no day to rest after almost a month of cleaning

08:49 because of the flood and mud left by the Egay Flood.

08:53 This is why the flood again hit them because of the Goring Flood.

08:58 The teachers were forced to go to the school

09:00 in the heavy rain to save the remaining equipment.

09:04 The flood reached inside their classrooms.

09:07 The school's drainage was flooded

09:10 and was not maintained or cleaned for several years.

09:15 The first day of classes should be today

09:18 but because of the flood, the students were not allowed to enter.

09:22 The school's management also talked to the parents

09:27 who helped in cleaning.

09:29 The school's decision to have modular classes

09:37 will be held this week.

09:40 The parents will get their children's modules first.

09:44 It is expected that there will be face-to-face classes next week.

09:49 For now, the electrical and outlets are all set

09:54 so there will be electricity and water in the school.

09:57 Thank you.

09:59 Thank you very much, Ivy Hernando.

10:02 On the first day of classes,

10:04 some teachers and students protested in Mendiola

10:07 to ask for a higher education fund.

10:10 From Manila, we have live news.

10:13 Darlene Cai.

10:15 Susan, security in Mendiola was tight

10:22 but the teachers and students were able to protest peacefully.

10:25 Around 5 a.m. earlier,

10:30 some teachers and students of public schools in Metro Manila

10:34 marched here to Mendiola, Manila.

10:37 They called this a sunrise protest.

10:39 Their first call was for an increase in the education budget.

10:43 Teacher Ruby Bernardo,

10:45 the president of the Alliance of Concerned Teachers or ACT-NCR,

10:50 said that public schools will face the same problems

10:52 when they open their classes today.

10:54 Classrooms, seats, and teaching and non-teaching personnel are not enough.

11:00 The students and teachers do not deserve a proper classroom.

11:04 And for all the hard work that the teachers are putting in,

11:07 their salary is not enough.

11:09 Ivan Suggang, the national chairperson of the League of Filipino Students,

11:14 said that curriculum change is not needed now

11:17 if not for system change.

11:19 Here is their statement.

11:20 I am the first batch of the K-12 program.

11:25 We were the ones who were forced to join the K-12 program

11:29 and they admitted that they were forced to join.

11:31 And now, they want to instill new curriculum changes

11:35 that teachers need to study.

11:38 We are talking about the right to education.

11:40 Our call now is for an increase in the budget

11:44 for the essential needs of education

11:47 like the addition of classrooms,

11:49 the addition of teaching and non-teaching personnel.

11:52 The teachers and students clearly stated

12:01 that they did not walk out.

12:03 Earlier, after the protest,

12:05 they also joined their classes.

12:08 And we are waiting for the statement of the DepEd.

12:12 This is the first news in Manila.

12:15 Here is the latest news from the GMA Integrated News.

12:17 On the first day of the school year,

12:19 the classes in Batasan Hills National High School

12:22 shifted due to the lack of classrooms.

12:25 Live from Cane City, we have the first news.

12:27 James Agustin.

12:29 James?

12:31 Good morning.

12:35 Just a little while ago,

12:37 many students here in Batasan Hills National High School

12:40 returned to their schools today.

12:44 Others, especially those in grade 7,

12:46 were brought by their parents.

12:48 At 5.30 in the morning,

12:50 there was a flag-raising ceremony and a program.

12:53 Some were placed in the covered court

12:55 while most were in the classroom.

12:57 It should be noted that there were no more decorations in the classrooms

13:00 following the directive of the Department of Education.

13:04 One of the largest populations in secondary education

13:07 in the entire Quezon City

13:09 is Batasan Hills National High School.

13:12 This school year, there were 18,322 enrollees,

13:15 which is higher than 17,900 in the previous year.

13:19 There is still a lack of classrooms

13:21 so the classes were shifted to the morning and afternoon shifts.

13:24 According to the principal,

13:26 there were 54 classrooms that were missing

13:28 so full face-to-face classes were not allowed.

13:30 Blended learning is being implemented in most classes

13:33 aside from students in special programs.

13:40 Another strategy is the approach we did,

13:42 which is Blended.

13:44 It means that the child will spend three days in school

13:48 and two days at home

13:51 through the use of the modules or other books.

13:57 I am excited to go to school.

13:59 I have prepared everything for the school.

14:02 What do you expect for the school year?

14:04 The teacher should be kind.

14:06 All subjects.

14:09 My classmates should be kind to me.

14:12 I expect that our teachers will be happy

14:18 and I hope that our learnings will be enhanced this school year.

14:23 From last year and this year,

14:26 I expect that our learnings will be more enjoyable.

14:36 The morning shift is ongoing from 6 am to 12.20 pm.

14:44 The afternoon shift will start from 1 pm to 7.20 pm.

14:49 Reporting from Batasan Hills National High School,

14:52 I am James Agustin for GEMA Integrated News.

14:55 Deputy Assistant Secretary Athony Francis Bringas

15:00 visited the Emboys School in Makati.

15:04 Now, he is under the LGU.

15:06 How is the situation there?

15:08 We have live news.

15:10 Bam Alegre is here.

15:12 The first day of class here at Fort Bonifacio High School.

15:19 We experienced a change.

15:22 Some teachers and students are moving to a new school

15:26 that is already in their school.

15:33 The faces of the students and parents

15:35 are full of excitement and nervousness

15:38 as they enter Fort Bonifacio High School and its nearby elementary.

15:42 It is the first day of class, so there is a change.

15:45 The school that will be counted as a school will be the first.

15:49 According to the court's decision,

15:51 the school's jurisdiction was moved from Makati City to Taguig.

15:55 Deputy Assistant Secretary Athony Francis Bringas

15:58 visited the school this morning.

16:02 She saw the quality of the facilities,

16:04 the teaching and the placement of the students.

16:06 We also talked to the students and their parents.

16:10 Charlotte and Grainet Poledario's mother

16:13 did not like the change

16:15 as they are just moving this year from Baguio to Metro Manila.

16:18 Raquel Cabe's mother did not like the change

16:22 especially as it is confusing for her child.

16:24 Elpidio Raimando's father

16:27 is worried about the shortage of supplies

16:30 for his child's education.

16:32 Let's listen to the statement of our interviewees

16:34 and the statement of Deputy Assistant Secretary Athony Francis Bringas.

16:39 There are some conflicts now,

16:43 but I guess they will figure it out.

16:46 I'm excited and nervous

16:49 because it's new.

16:51 I did advance reading the last few days.

16:54 We are really problematic.

16:56 But we really want Makati.

16:59 We don't want Taguig.

17:01 I mean, I don't know, just for them.

17:03 The only thing is,

17:05 if there is a supply for Makati,

17:08 like what Makati is giving,

17:10 it's complete.

17:12 There are bags and shoes.

17:14 So, my child's clothes are still for Makati.

17:17 Our challenge is that our transition team

17:19 will also invent a lot.

17:21 So, the turnover, if ever,

17:23 of property from this one city to another

17:28 would be challenging.

17:29 And I know that the cities are both cooperating.

17:32 Igan, according to the principal of Fort Bonifacio High School,

17:41 where we are now,

17:43 the meeting with the transition team started last week.

17:46 And there is coordination.

17:48 The superintendents of Taguig and Makati,

17:50 both are cooperative.

17:52 And it will affect 14 schools,

17:54 5 high schools and 1 elementary school.

17:57 This is the first news from Fort Bonifacio High School.

17:59 Bama Lagre for GMA Integrated News.

18:01 How are we looking at the first day of the entrance

18:04 to Danau City Central School in Cebu?

18:06 We have live news.

18:08 Nico Sereno of GMA Regional TV.

18:10 Breaking news.

18:12 Yes, Susan, the class started here in Cebu.

18:18 And here in Danau City Central School,

18:20 the students arrived early

18:22 with their parents for the first day.

18:26 But some are still looking for their classrooms.

18:28 Because the space is limited,

18:30 the flag raising ceremony was also held in the classrooms

18:33 along with the orientation.

18:35 This Danau City Central School

18:37 is the first and oldest public school here in the city

18:40 that was established in 1902.

18:43 There are more than 2,000 enrollees in the school.

18:46 In the whole city of Danau,

18:48 there are more than 32,000 students

18:50 who are enrolled in the school.

18:53 In the whole city of Visayas,

18:54 based on data from DepEd Region 7,

18:56 there are more than 1.5 million enrollees

18:58 in public schools this school year.

19:01 DepEd admitted that

19:03 one of their main problems is still the lack of classrooms.

19:07 The shortage in the city of Visayas

19:09 will reach 900+ classrooms,

19:12 especially the damaged ones

19:14 because of the super-high school's lack of classrooms.

19:17 The school's main problem is the lack of classrooms.

19:21 Especially the damaged ones because of the super-typhoon Odep.

19:23 The solution for now

19:25 is to have emergency classes or double shifting.

19:28 Just like here, Susan,

19:30 in the Danau City Central School,

19:32 double shifting is also being implemented here in the school.

19:35 The first shift will start from 6am to 12 noon

19:40 while the afternoon session will be from 12 noon to 6pm.

19:45 That's the latest from Danau City.

19:49 Thank you very much, Nico Sereno.

19:51 While we're on the topic of pilot episodes,

19:53 let's watch the run-through of the GMA Afternoon Prime series,

19:57 "The Missing Husband".

19:59 My love, please go home.

20:02 Let's face this.

20:05 Show them that you're not guilty.

20:08 That what they're saying is not true.

20:11 They're not the ones who did it.

20:13 It's exciting to see the twists in the lives of Milly and Anton.

20:18 They're being accompanied by Stars Rock alumni, Yasmin Curdi and Rocco Nacino.

20:22 In the pre-pilot viewing of the first episode,

20:25 aside from Yasmin and Rocco,

20:27 the cast members Nadine Samonte, Michael Flores, Max Eigenman and Kai Cortez are present.

20:34 Others can't help reacting to the scenes they've watched.

20:37 The question now is,

20:39 from being the vlogger of Rocco's character,

20:41 why would he be the missing husband?

20:44 Will he be accompanied by him?

20:47 Let's watch the show on Mundo Cinema and Mundo Cinema News Network

20:50 every Monday to Friday at 4.05pm.

20:53 We'll now go to Davao City.

20:56 Let's see how the first day of the class went

20:58 with RJ Relator of GMA Regional TV, Juan Mintanao.

21:02 RJ.

21:04 More than 13,000 students of Davao City National High School

21:11 are returning to school today.

21:15 Davao City National High School students arrived early

21:18 and are ready to start their entrance.

21:20 A flag raising ceremony was held

21:22 where the students were welcomed by teachers and non-teaching personnel.

21:26 Based on the data of the Davao City Division,

21:29 the total number of enrolled students of City High

21:34 for the school year 2023-2024

21:37 is 13,721, which is the largest student population in public schools in the city.

21:43 The students will continue to carry out

21:45 the shifting of classes

21:47 with a morning shift that starts at 6.50am until 12.30pm

21:52 and an afternoon shift that starts at 12.30pm until 6.45pm.

21:57 In-person learning will be the primary learning modality delivery.

22:01 Parents of grade 7 students were allowed to enter today

22:05 to be guided in their classroom.

22:07 Even if the entrance has already started,

22:09 the students will still receive their enrollees.

22:13 Igan, the classes here at Davao City National High School

22:16 were organized and held in a proper manner.

22:18 And today, the 431 elementary, secondary, and integrated schools

22:23 in the city of Davao opened simultaneously.

22:26 That's the latest from Davao City.

22:28 Back to you, Igan.

22:30 Thank you very much, R. Jill Relator.

22:34 Meanwhile, aside from the shifting of classes,

22:37 some classrooms in President Corazon Aquino Elementary School

22:41 were also shifted

22:42 to accommodate the students in the middle of the problem

22:45 and the lack of proper instruction.

22:47 Live from Quezon City, we have the first news.

22:49 James Agustin, James.

22:51 Susan, good morning.

22:57 The classes of those on the morning shift are ongoing

22:59 here at President Corazon Aquino Elementary School in Quezon City.

23:03 The school year will open today.

23:05 The students will have a full face-to-face class.

23:09 The school year has enrolled 8,700 students

23:12 from Kinder to Grade 6.

23:14 That's a little higher than 8,500 last year.

23:19 The classes were divided into two shifts.

23:21 Some classrooms were also partitioned

23:23 to address the lack of classrooms.

23:26 Please note that there are no decorations

23:29 in the classrooms that are in accordance with the Department of Education's orders.

23:36 We made a way for all the students to be accommodated.

23:40 So in the big rooms, we made a partition

23:45 but we assigned that to small kids like Grade 1 and Grade 2

23:50 so that they can fit in.

23:52 I'm excited to see the kids.

24:02 Meanwhile, Susan, the morning shift classes will end at 12 noon.

24:06 Those are for Kinder, Grade 2, 4, and 6.

24:10 While for the afternoon classes, for Grade 1, 3, and 5,

24:13 the classes will start from 12 noon until 6 pm.

24:17 That's the first news from Quezon City.

24:19 I'm James Agustin for GEMA Integrated News.
