00:00 PTV Balita is back.
00:04 The administration of Marcos is expecting the transfer of the Armed Forces of the Philippines to the external defense of the country.
00:11 National Security Advisor Eduardo Año is confident that this will happen,
00:16 especially since they expect that President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. will end the five decades of local armed communist conflict in the country.
00:26 According to the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict or NTF-ELCAC,
00:32 68 out of 88 guerrilla fronts in the country were dismantled by the government forces in the past four years.
00:41 According to Undersecretary Ernesto Torres, Executive Director of NTF-ELCAC,
00:46 only 20 guerrilla fronts are left, but only one is active in the north, Samar, and six in Luzon, seven in Visayas, and six in Mindanao,
00:57 due to the continuous loss of mass-based rebels and the leadership vacuum.
01:02 This is the right time to hand over the government's amnesty program to them and show their sincerity in accepting their return to society.
01:15 One hundred and forty-three local government units in the country still have no fire stations.
01:22 This was discovered by the youths in the delivery of the DILG's Pano Calab Pondo and its attached agencies for the next year.
01:30 According to Bureau of Fire Protection Chief Louie Purakan, of the 1,634 LGUs in the country,
01:38 only 1,477 have fire stations and fire trucks.
01:45 Surigao del Sur First District Representative Robeo Momo Sr.
01:48 allocated P550 million under the 2024 budget for the construction of 55 fire stations.
01:57 He said, "How will the construction of these be systematized if there are more than 100 missing?"
02:03 According to Purakan, it depends on the request of the LGU.
02:08 There are local governments that are not yet sending their requests due to the lack of land for the construction of fire stations.
02:16 And those are the news for this time.
