00:00 [Music]
00:09 Good morning. We are here with the first news of GMA Integrated News.
00:14 Former President Rodrigo Duterte denied his promise to China that he will remove BRP Sierra Madre from the inshore.
00:23 They are dreaming. I did not discuss anything about territory.
00:30 Sierra Madre, the Filipinas said, is ours, that area.
00:37 So, let it just remain there. I said I will not give an inch, actually.
00:45 Friendship is one, alliance is another one, but the territory itself must be ours.
00:56 Our territory is non-negotiable.
01:01 China's promise that the Philippines has a leader, that they will remove BRP Sierra Madre from the inshore, is memorable.
01:10 Former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and former President Joseph Estrada denied this.
01:16 Duterte also said that he is aware of the new 10-line map of China, where the entire South China Sea is under his control.
01:25 The aid for drivers and operators of public vehicles is being processed
01:31 according to the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board or LTFRB.
01:36 Drivers and operators of modern jeeps will receive Php 10,000,
01:41 Php 6,500 for traditional jeeps, Php 1,000 for tricycles, and Php 1,200 for motorcycle taxis.
01:51 LTFRB said that the fund is Php 3 billion for the fuel subsidy program of the Department of Transportation
01:59 amid the continued increase in the price of oil.
02:04 The increase in the fuel subsidy program is being waited to be downloaded.
02:13 That's why it's mentioned here because there are some requirements that the DPR asked for.
02:18 Once the fund is in our hands, we can implement it immediately.
02:23 The Department of Health in Camara announced in a budget hearing that PhilHealth owes more than Php 20 billion to hospitals.
02:31 Some of the funds allocated to poor patients and public hospitals are also being used.
02:38 Here's the first news of Sandra Aguinaldo.
02:41 There's Php 68 billion net income but the Php 27 billion debt to hospitals cannot be paid?
02:52 That's one of the things that PhilHealth left out in the budget hearing of the Health Department.
02:57 Hospitals are suspended because of these small cases.
03:03 The services we provide to our indigent patients are affected.
03:09 PhilHealth said that the claims of hospitals are still being verified but the payment will be accelerated.
03:16 Within 90 days, we will try to pay a very high percentage of the Php 27 billion.
03:24 We are preparing to use the DCPM formula, the Debit Credit Payment Mechanism formula.
03:33 We will use that to make sure that our reconciliation will be accelerated.
03:40 In the meantime, the salary of the officials and employees of PhilHealth has increased.
03:46 PhilHealth is now following the EO that has standardized the salary of GOCC or Government Owned and Controlled Corporation.
03:55 DOH officials are now asking how the low salary and benefits of nurses and other healthcare workers and their shortcomings are.
04:05 According to Health Secretary Ted Herbosa, there are 4,000 vacant nursing plantilio positions in government hospitals.
04:13 There are 13,000 contractual nurses who are deployed in local government units.
04:19 I came from Philippine General Hospital, Your Honor, before I became Secretary of Health.
04:24 The situation in the emergency department is that one nurse is taking care of 20 emergency patients.
04:31 And I asked the chief nurse, why can't we hire new nurses? And the answer to me is that no one is applying.
04:37 But some public hospitals have additional problems, including the National Kidney and Transplant Institute,
04:44 Lung Center of the Philippines, Philippine Heart Center, and Philippine Children's Medical Center
04:50 in the upcoming budget reduction of the Department of Health in 2024 compared to the approved budget this year.
04:59 They also lost their budget for free vaccines against COVID for the next year.
05:05 Some programs also lost their budget, including medical assistance for the indigent or poor patients.
05:12 It's very sad. Overall, there are cuts in many programs. Madam Chair, is this how it is in the new Philippines,
05:20 where our health and social services are being reduced?
05:26 But compared to the budget this year and the demand for the next year,
05:32 Representative Janet Garin, who sometimes became the health secretary, did not like it.
05:38 This is a budget briefing. It's not possible that we have a drama that we are showing that all programs
05:44 of health are being cut and making the administration look back where in fact it is not true.
05:50 We have to compare neck versus neck. So without Madam Chair, I move that the interpolation of the Honorable Manuel
05:56 be stricken off the records. So move Madam Chair.
05:59 After the briefing was suspended and its question, the health secretary reminded us to be clear
06:05 in the comparison and in which allocation is being cut and increased.
06:10 All of these data have been confirmed by the secretary. So there is nothing to be stricken out.
06:17 They are talking about a budget reduction. And this is different from the final budget under the General Appropriations Act.
06:26 This is the first news. Sandra Aguinaldo for GMA Integrated News.
06:31 The Senate and the House of Representatives recognized the unparalleled contribution of broadcasting
06:37 by our friend and colleague Mike Enriquez.
06:40 The Senate approved the resolution of the Family, Friends and Colleagues Program of Mike's GMA
06:47 which is a great loss to the country and to the millions of Filipinos.
06:50 His wife, Baby Enriquez, accepted this and she was recognized for her support and care for her family.
06:58 She is also with GMA's first Vice President for Radio Operations Group, Glenn Aliona
07:04 and Vice President for Sales and Marketing Group, RJ Antonio Ceva.
07:08 In the separate resolution of the Camera, Mike's dedication and defense was recognized
07:14 for the rights of the poor and the oppressed.
07:18 Jillian Ward is super thankful for the success of GMA Afternoon Prime Series, which reached the audience's dreams.
07:25 The series is already a year old and the episodes are always trending.
07:29 Jillian's character as Dr. Angeline Santos captured the hearts of many viewers.
07:35 Because of the achievements in her 14-year career, Jillian was recognized as the star of the new gen.
07:42 Jillian started her career in Kapuso Network when she was 5 years old. She was the first to watch the iconic role of Trudice in the soap opera.
07:51 That's what people see. People see it in front of their eyes, right?
07:55 Wow! Congrats Jillian!
07:57 The local government of Valenzuela just released additional information today.
08:02 A man was caught fighting on the road in their area.
08:06 In the video, a man was seen passing by two cars.
08:09 He was holding a gun. Later, another man was seen pushing and shooting a gun.
08:16 After that, he returned to his car.
08:21 The video was released by Atty. Raymond Fortune.
08:25 It happened in Bignai, Punto Rin, Valenzuela on August 19.
08:33 The man who was caught fighting on the road in Valenzuela is now our cycling advocate, Atty. Raymond Fortune.
08:40 Atty. Fortune, good morning.
08:42 Ikan, good morning to all of you and to all the listeners.
08:45 Aside from the video, did you get any other information?
08:49 No. This video was sent to me by a man who doesn't want to introduce himself, of course for obvious reasons of security.
09:00 He said that there was a road rage incident.
09:05 I took a look at the video, checked just to make sure if there were all indications that this was not staged or just for TikTok.
09:19 I decided to post it so that the proper authority would be able to investigate and therefore hold liable the person who released the gun.
09:31 The person who sent you that video, he was the one who got it?
09:38 Yes. It came from his dash cam.
09:42 He witnessed the incident himself because he was in the vehicle and he saw everything that happened.
09:52 But there's a problem Atty. Fortune. Those who get such videos seem to be scared and not to take action.
09:59 How can we have a resolution on such cases?
10:04 Definitely EGAN and that's the problem. There are people who witnessed a crime that happened.
10:12 They are being videotaped either by their phone cam or their dash cam.
10:17 But if they are taken as witnesses, they are scared because the enemy has a gun.
10:25 There's always this danger that they will be back when that person, either when they are arrested or even before he testifies.
10:34 This actually hampers our courts so that the people who have a gun can be held accountable.
10:42 Today, EGAN, I will be filing or I'm sorry, I will be sending a letter to the Supreme Court.
10:49 I will be asking for probably, I don't know if there's a need for a new administrative matter that will be issued,
10:57 an administrative circular or probably an amendment of our rules on electronic evidence so that our courts can now properly appreciate
11:06 even the video recordings coming from phone cams or dash cams, the source is anonymous.
11:13 What will happen is even if no eyewitnesses will testify, our police can submit this.
11:23 The person who is in this video, who is being arrested for committing a crime,
11:30 the court will appreciate and admit this evidence and can use this evidence to convict the person.
11:38 Even if the source of the video is not available?
11:41 Yes. Right now, EGAN, we all know that you need an eyewitness.
11:49 There are people who will say that I took this video. This came from my dash cam.
11:56 If that's the case, how can we help our police to answer the person in the jail.
12:03 So I think there's really a need for either laws or even our rules of procedure in order to strengthen crime prevention and probably prosecution.
12:15 We are also holding our hands to the right to privacy.
12:18 The person who was arrested can return because they are not yet being prosecuted, right?
12:25 EGAN, there's no right to privacy if you are committing a crime.
12:32 Yes. We must all remember that crimes generally are public crimes, meaning you cannot assert your privacy if you are committing a violation of the laws of our country.
12:47 The interest of the state is still higher to protect the citizenry, to protect our peace and the protection of each one.
13:00 Okay. You have the right to privacy but the higher national interest, which is to protect and preserve the life and properties of the citizens, will still be low.
13:13 Let's go back to the first post, the incident in Quezon City.
13:17 The former police officer who was riding a cyclist.
13:22 It's very frustrating for some. Until now, this former police officer is far away.
13:28 We all understand that there's this thing called due process. The incident happened on August 8 and many days have passed.
13:41 If there's an answer about this, it will go through the process of what is called regular preliminary investigation.
13:52 So it's not like the incident happened by chance. It's a bit sad that on August 8, the police immediately moved.
14:02 They saw the person who pulled the gun and shot.
14:06 They can arrest him immediately because under our rules, there's what's called arrest without warrant.
14:15 Arrest without warrant. If the incident happened, but it was not done, they allowed the person to rob, they allowed the person to be raped and they paid 500 pesos,
14:27 they will be held accountable, the police, for not doing their job.
14:33 But moving forward, if there's a crime that happened on August 8, it will go through the so-called regular preliminary investigation process.
14:43 We will see the person in the video, if there's a chance, to provide his reasons or if he has a defense.
14:51 Then our prosecutors, they will make a determination if there's a probable cause for this person to file a case in our court and issue a warrant for arrest by the courts.
15:02 Did the cyclist change his mind?
15:05 I don't expect that he will change his mind. Until now, I'm sure he's still afraid.
15:11 If Alan Banjola will not complain, what will be the next steps?
15:18 Maybe this will happen again and the viewers will know. What will happen to these incidents?
15:25 Yes. For now, the good development is that there are four or five CCTV footages of the present city police.
15:37 It is my professional opinion that the police can already file criminal charges against the individual in the video based on the CCTV footages.
15:52 There's a probable cause. When it comes to the judge, the video will be presented, the barangay where the video was recorded and the CCTV operator.
16:05 To my mind, I think that would sufficiently address our rules on electronic evidence so that the court can properly appreciate the evidence
16:15 and then use that in determining whether the accused can be convicted based on proof beyond reasonable doubt.
16:23 Thank you very much Tony Raymond Fortun. Be careful.
16:26 You too. Good morning.
16:30 The vendors in the market don't feel the price cut because the quality of rice is not good, from Php 41 to Php 45 per kilo.
16:40 Their customers prefer the more expensive rice so their sales are more expensive every time.
16:48 We have live news. Darling Kai. Darling.
16:55 Good morning Susan. Wherever we ask, the price of rice in the stores is really increasing.
17:01 Even the price of rice in the market is increasing, just like the one behind me.
17:06 Our people told us that they have nothing to do.
17:09 They cannot buy regular and well-milled rice that is sold in the price ceiling set by the government
17:16 because the customers don't want the quality and they might not buy from them.
17:23 The price ceiling is set by you.
17:25 It is said that the stalls of the vendors like Angelo are full.
17:31 They cannot sell their goods because of the increasing price of rice.
17:36 That is why they are increasing the price of rice every time.
17:40 The price is increasing because the number of people who buy is decreasing.
17:44 Because the price of rice is too high.
17:46 Before it was Php 10 and now it is Php 15.
17:51 One of the mistakes that the government made was to set the price ceiling for regular and well-milled rice.
17:58 But even if they want to, Angelo is not benefiting because the quality of the rice is not good
18:05 which is between Php 41 and Php 45 now.
18:08 The price of rice they use in the business is Php 60 per kilo.
18:12 The customers complain that they are not eating.
18:14 They are used to the white rice that is good.
18:17 That is why we don't buy that kind of rice.
18:22 It is ugly. It is like black. It has a taste.
18:26 I don't know how to say it. It is like it is obvious.
18:30 Ivan also said that he works in a rice shop.
18:34 They also increased the price of rice in every order.
18:37 He says it is better now because they are also increasing the quality of their food.
18:42 We used to buy a sack of rice for Php 19.
18:48 Now, it is Php 25 per sack.
18:51 Because when we changed the rice, they would increase the price.
18:56 You know, when the rice is different, it is used.
19:03 The rice seller in the rice store that Rachel is working in cannot afford the kind of rice that is included in the price ceiling.
19:11 They can only get it for a few days.
19:13 If they cannot buy it from their store, they can't use it.
19:16 Maybe they can get it from the rice but not from them.
19:23 The rice is not as good as theirs.
19:28 But it is expensive.
19:30 Not from them.
19:33 For now, the rice they sell is Php 52 per kilo.
19:37 That is the only rice we ordered.
19:43 That is the only rice we ordered.
19:47 It is better now because it is better.
19:52 The taste is also good.
19:55 Susan, the people we talked to said that there is a rice store and food.
20:05 The price of rice is going down so that their business can recover.
20:11 That is the first news here in Manila.
20:13 I am Darlene Kaye for GMA Integrated News.
20:17 Some members of ASEAN support the position of the Philippines in the West Philippine Sea.
20:22 Even President Bombong Marcos' call to expedite the release of an effective code of conduct in the South China Sea.
20:29 And live from Jakarta, Indonesia, we have the first news with us, Ivan Mayrina.
20:34 Ivan, do you think that a legally binding code of conduct will be expedited in the ASEAN Summit?
20:40 Maris, regarding the legally binding code of conduct, it seems that we are still far from that.
20:50 But in the Chairman's statement released last night,
20:53 ASEAN member states support the position of the Philippines in many aspects
20:58 in the West Philippine Sea or South China Sea.
21:02 For example, the statement of the government regarding the aggressive actions
21:07 and the reclamations and the violation of the marine environment in the region.
21:14 The call was supported here to avoid all actions that could cause danger to tensions in the West Philippine Sea
21:20 and also to a peaceful settlement in Sigalot.
21:23 The call was also supported to expedite the release of an effective code of conduct in the South China Sea.
21:29 But in the statement of Chinese Premier Li Qiang in the ASEAN-China Summit,
21:34 China's Maris stated that they are following the law.
21:37 That statement is in accordance with the violation of the law,
21:54 including the use of water bombs, dangerous manoeuvres in the sea,
21:57 and the release of China's 10-dash line map that crosses the entire South China Sea.
22:03 This is in violation of the unlawful and unlawful actions of China in the region.
22:08 Therefore, the President's call to the ASEAN leaders is
22:13 We cannot emphasize enough that actions not words should be the ultimate measure
22:18 of our commitment to securing peace and stability in the South China Sea.
22:23 Anything else simply does not suffice.
22:27 In the midst of the support of several countries, including South Korea, Japan, the US and Canada,
22:38 the ASEAN member states are against the Philippines' calls to the West Philippine Sea.
22:41 China's call is to not side with them.
22:46 To keep differences under control, what is essential now is to oppose peaking sides,
22:53 oppose bloc confrontation and oppose a new Cold War,
22:59 and to ensure that disagreements and disputes among countries are properly handled.
23:07 Meanwhile, on the third and final day of the summit,
23:09 the ASEAN and Australia Summit and ASEAN-UN are scheduled.
23:13 The President will also speak today at the bilateral one-on-one meetings
23:17 of the Cambodian Prime Minister Hon Manet and South Korean President Yun Suk-yol.
23:21 The President spoke first on the sideline yesterday to US Vice President Kamala Harris,
23:26 but did not detail in detail their conversation.
23:29 In the White House statement, as a representative of the United Nations,
23:34 the President also mentioned the importance of the bilateral maritime cooperation
23:37 between the Philippines and the United States,
23:40 as well as the two leaders' maritime security in the South China Sea.
23:46 Meanwhile, Maris, the President is expected to return to the Philippines
23:50 before midnight later.
23:53 That's the latest from Jakarta, Indonesia.
23:56 Thank you very much. Take care, Ivan Mayrina.
24:01 The MFDA is inspecting several streets in Quezon City.
24:04 They observed their actions in the first live news of James Lagutin.
24:09 James, what is that?
24:12 Good morning. We are here at Katipunan Avenue in Quezon City
24:18 where the MFDA observed that the volume of vehicles is increasing.
24:24 Since the last month, some big schools have been returning to the area.
24:30 In Southbound Lane, 32% of vehicles are parked during rush hours in the morning
24:35 while 24% during rush hours in the afternoon.
24:38 Almost 9,400 vehicles were seen passing through Katipunan Avenue in the morning
24:44 which is the peak hours from 7am to 8am in Northbound and Southbound Lane.
24:50 While 10,500 vehicles are in the volume in the afternoon from 5pm to 6pm.
24:57 This morning, the MFDA inspected the area to find out adjustments that can be implemented.
25:02 The MFDA was led by MFDA General Manager Procopio Lipana.
25:06 The problem of the MFDA is that there is traffic
25:09 because there are three lanes that are full of vehicles,
25:13 which are very far from the schools.
25:15 That's why they plan to put traffic cones
25:17 so that only two lanes can be used by these vehicles.
25:20 The MFDA will also add more people
25:23 to the six traffic enforcers at the intersection.
25:27 The traffic and transport management department of the Quezon City Government
25:32 will also help in managing the area.
25:34 The MFDA said that they have already coordinated with the leadership of the big schools
25:38 and there was a meeting last week.
25:41 The possibility of implementing this is that
25:47 we will check the freezing area of vehicles that do not have stickers.
25:53 Maybe we can adjust it a little bit
25:55 so that more people can ride the commuters
25:57 who do not have a license here in the city.
25:59 We are looking at the gate 2, the prom from Marikina.
26:03 There is a small service road there
26:05 where there is an entrance of the antennae for pedestrians.
26:09 We are looking at it. Maybe we can allow them
26:13 or they can do something to allow vehicles to enter there.
26:16 [vehicle passing]
26:21 Meanwhile, this is the situation here in Katipunan Avenue.
26:24 It is now 7.30 in the morning.
26:26 The traffic is very heavy.
26:28 It is the same lane.
26:29 Southbound, you can see now that the vehicles are moving
26:32 while it is heavier in the northbound lane.
26:35 The so-called adjustment of the MFDA is that
26:37 like the MFDA traffic enforcers
26:39 you can see at the intersection.
26:42 Their usual position is at the entrance and exit
26:45 of a big school here in Katipunan.
26:48 That's all for the latest from Quezon City.
26:50 I am James Agustin for GEMA Integrated News.
26:54 [music]
26:55 Kailin Alcantara is ready for a mature role.
26:59 I want a challenging role.
27:03 So that's it.
27:04 More mature.
27:05 More mature.
27:06 The role has more layers.
27:09 Hmm.
27:10 Kailin said that after her 21st birthday,
27:13 her friends and family surprised her.
27:17 Sparkle Senior Talent Manager Vic Del Rosario also came.
27:21 Kailin was not able to celebrate her birthday on September 3
27:26 because she has work.
27:28 Happy birthday, Kailin!
27:30 Happy birthday!
27:31 Good luck on your new adventures.
27:33 I know.
