00:00 [Music]
00:08 Good morning, we are here with the first news of JMA Integrated News.
00:12 [Music]
00:19 Some congressmen are excited about the fast approval of the House Appropriations Committee
00:24 in the budget of the Office of the Vice President in 2024.
00:29 In line with the long-standing tradition of giving the Office of the Vice President parliamentary courtesy,
00:37 I move to terminate the budget of the Office of the Vice President.
00:40 I object, Madam Chair.
00:42 We have a motion, Julie seconded, for the termination of the budget of the Office of the Vice President.
00:50 We object, Madam Chair.
00:52 We do not agree to these proceedings. We have short-cut the wrong use of the funds of the Office of the Vice President in violation of the...
01:02 [inaudible]
01:07 21 are in favor, the discussion on the budget of the OVP is now over.
01:13 Three black members are against.
01:15 One of the members would like to question the requested 500 million pesos confidential fund of the OVP
01:22 and the 125 million pesos confidential fund that the OVP is planning to follow this year even though it is not included in the 2022 General Appropriations Act.
01:32 In an statement, Vice President Sara Duterte stated that there was no irregularity or non-authorization in the use of confidential funds
01:40 that the agencies submitted the liquidation and accomplishment reports.
01:45 Duterte urged the black members to stop the OVP's disclosure of the 2022 confidential funds
01:53 if there is no evidence to prove that the use of the funds is wrong.
01:58 The problem in some schools is that the number of students who go to school is too high.
02:03 The school administrators are trying to solve this problem.
02:07 Here is the first news of Bernadette Reyes.
02:10 This is Rizal High School, one of the most extensive schools in the Philippines with a size of more than 7 hectares.
02:20 I was almost misled because it is so big. I just moved here.
02:25 From 1993 to 2005 when it entered the Guinness Book of World Records,
02:30 Rizal High School was the largest secondary high school in the world.
02:34 But this year, it has decreased to more than 12,000 students.
02:39 But despite the decrease in the population of students, there are still too many students in the Senior High School.
02:46 A grade 12 student named Ashley Halimbawa transferred from Bicol to study at Rizal High School.
02:53 At Rizal High School, the four tracks for Academic, Arts and Design, Sports, and Technical Vocational Livelihood are complete.
03:01 I will be a STEM student, but I ran out of slots. So I made a second choice of tourism.
03:09 In grade 11, Halimbawa reached more than 4,000 early registrants.
03:14 The capacity of the school is twice as much as the Baitang.
03:18 Because of this, the number of students in the Senior High School reached 55 per classroom
03:23 compared to the Junior High School where only four classes are available.
03:27 Because of the limitation, we reached our maximum absorptive capacity in the Senior High School Department.
03:35 We received only 2,500 plus.
03:40 We passed the target of 2,100.
03:46 We added more students to our classroom so that we can accommodate more learners.
03:57 The problem of Palawan National High School is that there are too many students.
04:02 More than 11,000 students are lacking in their classes.
04:07 21 classrooms in the nearby East Central School were needed to accommodate them.
04:12 This is a big help to return the normal schedule of classes instead of having shifting.
04:18 This is the first news. Bernadette Reyes for GMA Integrated News.
04:23 The water in some streets in Manila was saved because of the heavy rain.
04:28 This is the first live news of Darling Kai.
04:37 The water in some streets in Manila was saved because of the heavy rain.
04:42 Just like here in Taft Avenue.
04:45 Because of this, just like the live situation in this time,
04:50 many passengers are stranded and it's hard to find a vehicle.
04:56 Some of them can't do anything if they don't get wet.
05:04 The heavy rain in Manila almost made a big impact.
05:08 There's almost zero visibility in some places.
05:11 The water in Taft Avenue was flooded.
05:13 The water in T.M. Calau and Rojas Boulevard was also saved.
05:18 Some of them can't do anything if they don't get wet.
05:21 But Ryan got wet first.
05:23 It's raining. I can't go straight there.
05:27 The vehicles are stuck.
05:31 That's why I'm letting the rain pass first.
05:35 Instead of just 20 pesos,
05:38 the tricycle drivers are asking him for 100 to 150 pesos.
05:43 The tricycle driver, Antonio, said that 100 pesos is a special trip.
05:49 No, ma'am. Actually, it's just 20 pesos for each.
05:54 He said it's 500 pesos.
05:56 Now, if someone is in a hurry, and it's raining like this,
06:01 it's a special trip of 100 pesos.
06:04 It's just what we want.
06:06 We don't force anyone.
06:08 It's sunny, so even for them, it's hard to travel in this weather.
06:13 It's really hard because the engine is strong,
06:17 and the engine has a low speed.
06:21 If it's too deep, we don't force anyone because our engine is weak.
06:28 Some riders are trying to get a motorcycle here in Taft Avenue.
06:33 The water got in.
06:35 What happened?
06:37 There are vehicles that are going fast.
06:43 Leo's motorcycle also got in the water,
06:45 so he pulled it from the middle of Taft Avenue to Silong.
06:50 They are going to the Divisoria to buy food from their business canteen.
06:55 The water is really high there.
06:57 From Quirino to here.
06:59 I hope this is a mandate so that the market will continue.
07:03 Igan, just like what you saw in the live situation,
07:10 there are a lot of stranded passengers here.
07:14 The traffic is not heavy,
07:16 but it's really hard for the vehicles to cross Taft Avenue
07:21 because the water is high.
07:24 Just like here, in this part, in the corner of UN and Taft,
07:28 the water is already flowing to the sidewalk.
07:33 And Manila LGU has already announced that there is no entry for all untaxed,
07:38 public or private, and both online and face-to-face.
07:42 Free vehicles are also being transported by Manila LGU.
07:47 That's the first news here in Manila.
07:49 I'm Darlene Kaye for GMA Integrated News.
07:52 In Quezon City, there are also a lot of roads that were flooded and reached Bewang.
07:56 That's the first news of James Agustin.
07:58 Good morning.
08:06 This is just a few parts of Araneta Avenue in Quezon City,
08:09 in the roads that were flooded after heavy rain poured earlier this morning.
08:14 Heavy rain suddenly poured earlier this morning.
08:21 There was zero visibility on the east avenue, so the vehicles were minoring.
08:25 Heavy rain also fell on Quezon Avenue.
08:27 Because of this, the water reached the part of Quezon Avenue near the corner of Biakna Bato Street.
08:32 It was swallowed by a few motorists. A motorcycle rider got stuck, but a couple of riders helped him.
08:39 The water also reached the part of Enes Amoranto Street near Santo Domingo Avenue.
08:44 The vehicles can't go straight outside Araneta Avenue.
08:48 The water reached the corner of Enes Amoranto Street.
08:53 One vehicle tried to pass, but some just turned around.
08:58 There was also water on the part of Santo Domingo Avenue that light vehicles can't pass.
09:03 On Calamba Street in Barangay Santo Domingo, residents moved their vehicles to a higher place,
09:09 including a few sidecars and jeeps.
09:12 The water reached the Maria Clara Street corner, Don Jose Street.
09:16 On other parts of the road, residents helped to remove the motorcycles and tricycles that were parked.
09:23 On Araneta Avenue, some parts of the road were flooded.
09:26 On top of the water, a lot of motorists just turned around.
09:29 The trucks swallowed the water.
09:31 The water reached Caleraya Road in Barangay Tatalon.
09:35 That's why Mang Nestor moved his tricycle.
09:38 The motorcycle can't go any further. If I try to go, the water will get in my way.
09:41 My engine will break. That's why I have to push it.
09:44 The water is high.
09:45 Yes, it's high. It's high on the roof.
09:48 The tricycle driver, Randol, also had a hard time.
09:51 We can't go any further. We can't travel.
09:56 We will drown. Our motorcycles will die.
09:59 We are just here. We are just passers-by inside.
10:02 We can't go inside.
10:04 How high is the water, Victor?
10:07 If you go slowly, your spare plug will be damaged.
10:11 Mar is going to his work wearing boots and walking on the water.
10:15 It's high. But the boots haven't reached the ground.
10:19 Mang Wilfredo had to go to his house to go to his taxi which is parked on Araneta Avenue.
10:26 It's hard when it rains. Especially when we can't travel.
10:30 Of course, we will drown. We will answer to the operator.
10:33 Meanwhile, this is the situation here on Araneta Avenue.
10:41 It's flooded by E. Rodriguez.
10:43 The light vehicles can't pass through here because of the high water.
10:46 The residents are also affected. The water level is up to the tip of their nose.
10:51 Earlier, we saw cars that were already drowned.
10:54 There were also people who helped push the residents here.
10:59 That's why most of the motorists are now returning.
11:02 If they can avoid this, they will avoid it.
11:05 For those who are asking if there is a suspension in the class here in Quezon City,
11:09 according to the Public Information Office of the Quezon City Government,
11:13 a localized suspension will be implemented.
11:16 That means, it depends on the barangay or the school,
11:20 if there is a declaration of entry or not.
11:22 Because there is no public storm warning signal here in Metro Manila.
11:27 For now, from Quezon City, I am James Agustin for GEMA Integrated News.
11:32 The water level in Marikina River is rising again due to the continuous rain.
11:37 We know that. The situation in the first news live of Bam Alegre.
11:43 Bam?
11:45 Good morning. In the continuous rain in Magdamaga, the first alarm was raised.
11:53 Here in Marikina River, and you can see that the monitoring is still ongoing
11:57 because it is also close to rising.
12:00 In the second alarm.
12:02 In our tour earlier, we saw that the two cars that were parked in the river banks of Marikina River
12:09 were submerged in the flood and tied up so that the flood would not continue.
12:14 Due to the continuous rain, the water level in the river rose to 15 meters earlier at 5.30 in the morning.
12:20 If the water level is this high, the river is flooding the river banks.
12:24 The 15 meters is already a warning for the first alarm.
12:27 That means, residents are already giving warnings
12:30 about the possibility of flooding to save themselves from the rain.
12:33 Here is the statement of a barangay in San Tonino, Richard Magnaya.
12:37 We are warning the cars that are parked there.
12:40 If the water level rises, they will be transferred to a higher place.
12:44 I hope that it will not continue so that the problem will not increase.
12:50 Okay, so Egan, this is the live situation of the two cars that were left here in the middle of the flood.
13:02 This was not done to avoid flooding.
13:07 This is the area where people usually ride bicycles,
13:12 and the residents of Marikina River do air seizures.
13:15 But if this is the first alarm, the river is already flooding.
13:20 The monitoring of the local government is continuous.
13:23 It is time to raise the second alarm.
13:26 A forced evacuation is needed there.
13:28 This is the first news from Marikina, for GMA Integrated News.
13:34 Dear passengers, some passengers are stranded in Manila because of the flood.
13:38 We still have Darlene Cai live.
13:40 Darlene, how are you, dear passengers?
13:43 Susan, there are still many passengers stranded here
13:51 because the flood is still continuing.
13:54 That's why there are floods in some places like the one I'm standing in,
13:58 in the UN and Taft Avenue.
14:00 You can see this is a live situation.
14:03 Many people cannot ride or cannot find a vehicle
14:07 because there is no way for the public to ride.
14:11 Many people are just trying to get through the flood.
14:15 There are motorcycles or riders who are also pulling
14:18 because they are being forced to ride.
14:21 The water here is gutter deep.
14:24 That's why it's really hard to ride, to ride vehicles and people.
14:29 This is a flood update from Manila LGU.
14:32 In Spain, from Maceda to UST,
14:36 it is not possible or not going to pass.
14:40 And just for your information,
14:42 from Manila PIO, the entrance to the flood area is suspended.
14:48 The entrance to Manila City Hall and satellite offices are suspended
14:55 except for the departments and offices involved in disaster and emergency response.
15:05 The entrance to private companies is at the discretion of their employers.
15:12 That's the first news here in Manila.
15:16 I'm Darlene Kaye for GMA Integrated News.
15:19 It's past 7 in the morning.
15:21 After the continuous rain, the flood reached the mouth of Araneta Avenue in Quezon City.
15:27 And live is James Agustin.
15:30 James.
15:32 Van, until now, the motorists have not been able to pass this part of Araneta Avenue
15:41 straight to E. Rodriguez Avenue because of the flood.
15:46 In the middle of the road, there is a high water level.
15:49 An L300 van crashed.
15:52 The drivers were placed on the roof of the vehicle earlier
15:55 until they pushed the flood to push the L300 van.
16:00 Another car sank in the flood.
16:02 In Araneta Avenue, Corner Caleraya Road, residents are walking in the flood.
16:07 The water level is about 20.
16:09 Many motorists have returned.
16:11 Meanwhile, we have a warning to our fellow citizens.
16:13 If you are going to go up to Araneta Avenue, go straight to E. Rodriguez.
16:17 Avoid it first because this is not passed by, especially light vehicles.
16:22 That's the latest from Quezon City.
16:24 I'm James Agustin for GMA Integrated News.
16:27 Some Philippine officials have set up a new version of the map to show China
16:32 that has 10 dash lines in the South China Sea from the 9 dash lines.
16:38 Under the Dignity and Standards Committee on National Defense,
16:40 Senator Francis Tolentino said that the 10 dash lines are too big.
16:45 He said that it will reach Taiwan Strait.
16:48 According to retired Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio,
16:51 it is possible that this is an indication that China is again
16:54 dividing its territory to Taiwan.
16:56 The South China Sea is also being occupied by China in the 10 dash lines.
17:01 The Armed Forces of the Philippines Chief of Staff, Romeo Browner, said
17:04 that China should respect the 2016 arbitral ruling
17:09 that says that the 9 dash line of China in the South China Sea is not legally based.
17:14 The National Security Council and National Task Force on the West Philippines
17:18 are clarifying the new map to the Chinese government.
17:22 If the Chinese government confirms that the map was issued,
17:25 the NSC will recommend that the Department of Foreign Affairs
17:29 issue a diplomatic protest.
17:31 India also protested because China is also allowing
17:35 the division of their territory in the Himalayas.
17:38 The Chinese Embassy has not yet issued a statement on the new map.
17:42 We are experiencing a bad time in different parts of the country.
17:48 In the province of Negros Occidental,
17:50 more than 30,000 families are affected by floods and rains.
17:53 In Baguio City, more than 2,400 families
17:59 are in the evacuation center.
18:02 They left on Monday and Tuesday after their houses were flooded.
18:06 Despite the floods, medical workers continue to serve
18:09 in the hospital of Lunsod and some staff of the hospital
18:14 in the old ref to get through the floods.
18:17 The local government is already providing food to the affected residents in Baguio City.
18:22 We have a gossip today.
18:25 Officially, Chris Bernal's Choi family is now three and his hubby, Perry.
18:29 Congrats!
18:30 Chris is an old, blooming mother.
18:32 They also had their firstborn baby girl, Hailey Luca.
18:35 Chris shared moments on Instagram while Perry was carrying their baby.
18:40 In the caption, Chris said that he had a hard time giving birth
18:43 but that it was the most rewarding and beautiful thing that happened in his life.
18:49 In the IG account of their baby girl,
18:51 the caption said that the name "Hailey Luca" was inspired by the word "Hallelujah"
18:56 which means "I praise the Lord."
18:59 And it seems that Chris' mom also gave birth to the NBA player, Luca Donchich.
19:04 There!
19:06 Cute!
19:07 Congrats, guys!
19:09 Clever! Congrats!
