00:00 [Music]
00:08 As they say, rice is life.
00:11 Extra rice is life.
00:13 You're right. So good news, the price of rice in some markets in Metro Manila is now cheaper.
00:19 And I heard that consumers can now buy more rice.
00:25 How much is it? We have live news. Mark Makalalad of Super Radio DZBB. Mark?
00:32 Mark, we are slowly feeling the effects of the changing times.
00:37 The price of rice is now falling because of more supply.
00:42 In the past few days, in Pasig Mega Market, they are selling rice for up to P300.
00:49 And I heard that their price of rice has dropped to P5 per kilo.
00:54 Meanwhile, some sellers said that they have reduced the limitation of selling P41 and P45 per kilo of rice.
01:03 In the past, they only allowed to buy P1 per kilo to give more to the cheaper rice.
01:11 The better quality of P41 per kilo of rice that is being sold now is being noticed by the buyers. Mark?
01:22 Maybe that's just in Pasig Mega Market. Is it the same in other markets?
01:28 The Department of Agriculture is monitoring the price of rice in markets in other parts of Metro Manila.
01:38 In terms of the price of rice, the lowest price they have seen is P40 for local regular milled rice,
01:45 while P43 per kilo of local well-milled rice. The price of local premium rice has also dropped to P49 per kilo,
01:54 while P54 per kilo of special rice.
01:58 The government is hoping that the price of rice will continue to fall as more rice will be sold to the farmers.
02:07 Back to you Mark.
02:09 By the good news, thank you Mark Macalalad of Super Radio DCB.
02:15 Here are the news.
02:18 Certified as urgent by President Bongbong Marcos, the Anti-Agricultural Economic Sabotage Bill.
02:24 This is the bill that will impose heavier penalties on the persons,
02:29 for example, on smuggling and hoarding of agricultural products.
02:33 In the President's letter to Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri, he said that it is important to pass the bill immediately,
02:41 especially since the price is increasing and there is a shortage of agricultural products.
02:47 The President also believes that under the bill, the farmers and fishermen will be protected from the importers and traders.
02:58 The Anti-Agricultural Economic Sabotage Bill has been passed in the Senate plenary.
03:03 There is also a version of this that is being passed in the House of Representatives.
03:08 News. There is still a red tide in some seas in the country,
03:14 including Sapien Bay, which is surrounded by Ivisan and Sapien in Capiz,
03:19 and in Barangay Mambokyao and Barangay Kamansi in Batan, Aklat.
03:24 There is also a red tide in the coastal waters of Panay, Pilar, President Rojas and Rojas City in Capiz.
03:30 There is also a red tide in Gigantes Island in Carles, Iloilo,
03:34 coastal waters of Dawis and Tagbilaran in Bohol, and Dumangquilas Bay in Zamboanga del Sur.
03:41 Selfish and greedy people are being caught from those places.
03:47 If it's a fish and a squid, it's okay. As far as I know, this is a fresh and clean catch.
03:56 This is under investigation by an employee of the Office of Forward Transportation Security or OTS in Naia.
04:05 It's related to the disappearance of a passenger.
04:08 That's true. And according to the CCTV, on September 8 in Naia Terminal 1,
04:13 a woman was seen trying to drink water.
04:18 Eating while working is prohibited, said the OTS.
04:23 It is also being investigated because there was a rumor that day that a passenger lost US$300.
04:32 It is also being investigated if the missing money was tried by the employee who was caught on CCTV.
04:37 The employee refused to do so.
04:40 He is currently under preventive suspension along with his co-worker and his supervisor.
04:47 The OTS will release the investigation results after a few weeks.
04:52 The Department of Transportation of the OTS ordered to file a complaint against the employee.
04:58 The punishment that Secretary Jaime Bautista wants is the maximum penalty for those who are found guilty.
05:05 Since July 2022, the OTS has given 60 years of punishment because of the lack of work.
05:14 Yes. I remember that. The shooting.
05:19 Thousands of people were caught without being noticed by the bullets.
05:24 Many were punished.
05:26 But you know Conny, if it's true that she lost US$300, I feel sorry for her.
05:33 Is it that hard to find out? How will you get back the US$300? Is that what she needs?
05:41 To find out, you will have to get back the US$300 hoping that you can get the money back.
05:47 You will get it back. You can take it back.
05:49 What is the hardship that the other person is going through?
05:53 We cannot say that she is pitiful if she was really robbed.
05:58 But there is no proof unless they can see it. But it's still September 8.
06:03 The gastroenterologists we talked to said that if you eat the money, you can digest it.
06:12 It will melt.
06:13 It will melt. But of course, there are traces of it.
06:19 Unless of course, you can purge it on the same day so that you can get it back.
06:25 But this is still September 8. How will it be proven?
06:29 Meanwhile, we have an update on the ongoing investigation of the Office for Transportation Security
06:35 in the latest attempt to extort a dollar bill from an airport personnel.
06:40 In the middle of the news, I have the news that the Office for Transportation Security, Undersecretary Mau Aplaska.
06:49 Good morning and welcome to my news sir.
06:52 Mark good morning and ma'am Connie good morning.
06:56 Yes. Usec we will just have a news update.
07:00 Where and how is your person who was caught and tried? This is our news. This happened on September 8.
07:07 Yes. On September 8, we have been investigating for a long time because we have the CCTV footage
07:17 and the witnesses who were involved.
07:23 Yes.
07:24 So on September 14, we really started the investigation.
07:31 So immediately, they were relieved from their duties at the airport.
07:36 We recalled them to the central office.
07:39 Sir, I will just repeat. Your line is a bit choppy.
07:42 But they were relieved from their duties, suspended and under investigation sir?
07:47 Yes ma'am. They were relieved and right now, they're placed under preventive...
07:55 Okay. But in the video, was it clear to see?
08:01 Because even if you zoom in, was it clear to you that this is money?
08:07 Dollars?
08:08 Yes. Is the dollar missing?
08:10 Sir, in the video that circulated, we saw that it's a bit choppy.
08:16 In the CCTV footage of our caterers, it's a bit conclusive that they were...
08:24 This is the screening officer, right? He's the one who took the money.
08:31 I see. So it's conclusive that he took the money. Is that so?
08:37 That's based on the recommendation of our investigators.
08:41 I see.
08:42 That's why they recorded it.
08:44 You said he took the money and he was caught. Is that what's being shown?
08:50 This is what happened. On September 8, the screening officer underwent a screening process.
08:58 It's part of our procedure. When the image was generated by our X-ray operator, it's a bit confusing.
09:07 He recommended that the food will be subjected to manual investigation.
09:13 We saw in the footage that the screeners did the right thing, that it was subjected to manual investigation.
09:22 But we saw in other footage that we did not see in social media that the food was subjected to manual inspection.
09:34 The video that I'm showing, and this is also the one that went viral,
09:39 it's being pushed. It's not like an ordinary person eating a biscuit. It's hard to swallow. It's being pushed in the mouth.
09:48 It was pushed three times.
09:50 We want to know from your investigation, is this the dollar that was missing and he was caught?
09:57 Is this the one in the video that he was forced to push?
10:01 You know the circumstances. After the food inspection, the screener left.
10:10 But in a few minutes, he came back and he said that his dollar was missing.
10:15 Our procedure is that we brought the checkpoint supervisor, PNP, and the representative of Airport Police and Airlines.
10:27 While there was a confrontation, our screening officer left. He was not in the frame of the video.
10:36 In the other camera, we found that he was already drinking water and he was pushed.
10:46 He came back in the confrontation. That's the actual scenario.
10:52 But during that time, our screening officer denied that he was caught because there was no clean-out video.
11:00 It's only on September 14 that we saw those videos.
11:06 Sir this is not the first time that there was a controversy in OTS.
11:11 What should be done? You removed the bags and they are not allowed to wear jackets.
11:18 They said that they cannot wear anything. What should be done? You are still training.
11:26 We have many initiatives. Earlier, we had a chance to talk to our supervisors.
11:34 They have recommendations to change the procedures of conducting manual inspection.
11:43 We will look at the coming days. This is the latest addition of our initiatives.
11:50 So there will be no manual checking?
11:56 We cannot allow that because it is part of the requirement.
12:01 It's part of the international standards that we have established that if there's a leak, we need to conduct a manual inspection.
12:10 I'm just trying to know whether he is smoking the cigarette or not.
12:18 It's because he tells us another story. It's not normal for a person to smoke for $300.
12:26 What's the problem? The next question is, if he is smoking for $300, what benefits do our people have?
12:36 Are they professionalized in a way that they don't have to smoke for $1 while they are doing their job?
12:44 Because some people are cutting and some are smoking for money.
12:48 What kind of hardship will you face if you do that?
12:52 Mark I want to clarify. According to the analysis of our investigator,
12:58 after the confrontation, our next procedure is we will subject our people to private screening.
13:08 That means he will remove his clothes and undergo a total inspection.
13:12 Our investigators know that the next thing that will happen to him is he will be subjected to a total search.
13:22 I see. That's why they are knocking so there will be no evidence.
13:27 So that the evidence will be hidden.
13:29 Alright. Thank you for clarifying, Usec.
13:33 Thank you.
13:34 Thank you, Ma'am Connie and Mark.
13:37 That was the Office for Transportation Security under Secretary Mau Aplaska.
13:43 And now, as you mentioned, the Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte are in South Korea
13:50 to discuss digital innovation in education.
13:53 Ian Cruz has live news. Ian?
13:57 Good afternoon, Connie.
14:01 A bilateral meeting was held by Vice President Sara Duterte
14:08 with the Deputy Prime Minister and Education Minister Lee Juho.
14:14 The South Korean leader said that their country is currently promoting digital innovation
14:20 through technology for education.
14:23 VP Sara said that her visit to the summit is timely, especially since the country is encouraging blended learning.
14:30 At the summit, the Prime Minister of Korea said that their country's target is to be the first to have an AI-based textbook in the world.
14:38 He said that Korea is ready to share their experience in innovation with the world.
14:42 In her keynote speech at the summit, VP Sara said that education needs to be accompanied by technology
14:48 that can be used quickly.
14:50 She also said that she needs to teach children how to know the truth and untrue information
14:56 and what can help them to be productive citizens.
15:00 Artificial intelligence has a great potential for new and big opportunities in education.
15:06 Technology should be used in critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity.
15:14 Here is what the Vice President said.
15:18 In the advent of artificial intelligence, it will certainly create another paradigm shift in education.
15:27 While this possibility will present more and greater opportunities,
15:33 it will present many uncertainties in our vision of digital education.
15:42 [video clip]
15:47 [video clip]
16:04 Thank you very much, Ian Cruz.
16:06 [video clip]
16:29 Oh my, Mark, that's the news you should be waiting for later.
16:34 Of course, in the forecast I will be bringing, we will be waiting for it.
16:38 I will be waiting.
16:39 Here is my news for you.
16:41 For those who like to vroom-vroom but are not yet confident in the knowledge of traffic laws,
16:46 good news, because the Motorcycle Riding Academy will open next week.
16:51 The MMDA said that you will learn there the road traffic rules and regulations,
16:56 motorcycle safety laws, first aid, and other regulations related to riding a motorcycle.
17:01 You will also learn what to do if the road is muddy or slippery to avoid accidents.
17:10 The MMDA's latest report from January to August this year,
17:14 there were almost 2,000 motorcycle-related accidents in EDSA.
17:19 Those who are interested in enrolling in the academy can register on the MMDA website.
17:24 And remember, this is free.
17:27 Wait, I will vocalize first.
17:35 [singing]
17:40 I'm really the ground, right?
17:41 Hey, did you remember that iconic theme song?
17:45 Here is my exclusive gossip about an OG Korean oppa.
17:50 The South Korean actor Kwon Sang-woo is the star of the K-drama "Han River Police".
17:56 Sang-woo's character is a police officer in an action-packed series.
18:00 His co-star is Lee Sang-yi, who plays the role of a counter-star.
18:04 Sang-woo first made fans cry and cry tears of joy
18:09 in the hit Korean series "Stairway to Heaven".
18:11 It was released on Kapuso Network in 2005,
18:15 and there was also a Philippine adaptation in 2009.
18:18 In my Zoom chat, I talked with the two K-actors.
18:21 Sang-woo mentioned that he is hands-on in his action stunts in "Han River Police".
18:27 Because I had a lot of scenes underwater,
18:34 and I had to learn how to be at ease moving about underwater.
18:38 So I trained every day in a 10-meter deep diving pool,
18:42 and this was actually my first time learning how to dive as well.
18:45 So, I learned how to dive.
18:47 We already know the weather update.
18:59 The rain will continue, especially in Mindanao.
19:03 It's very hot and windy here in Luzon and Visayas.
19:08 So, we already know. Let's call Katrina Son of Jimmy Integrated News Weather Center.

20:47 For your information, have you seen a double rainbow?
20:53 A teacher caught it in UP Maguindanao del Norte.
20:57 According to Christine Leisa, she rode home on her motorcycle
21:00 when she saw the rainbow in Borongotan yesterday.
21:05 It's a perfect combination with the colorful sky, the mountainous mountains, and the green fields
21:12 that are perfectly matched with the sun.
21:16 She said she was exhausted yesterday because she was accompanied by a beautiful view on her way home.
21:22 The double rainbow appeared after the rain in the area.
21:29 Here's a sad news in Davao del Sur, where a boxer was comatose.
21:35 How many hours did he fight there?
21:39 This Sunday, the only 18-year-old amateur boxer, Anselmo Tagalog Jr. fought back in the ring.
21:46 He fought for three rounds and lost.
21:50 According to his mother and his friends, he died after a few hours and did not wake up.
21:57 He was taken to the hospital in Digos City and found with blood clots in his head.
22:03 He was brought to Davao City where he was operated on on Wednesday morning.
22:09 His family called for financial assistance.
22:12 The LGU state is investigating the incident.
22:16 GMA Regional TV One Mindanao is trying to get the organizer of the boxing event.
22:24 [Music]
22:31 This is just a month ago, Barangay. The youth elections are already over.
22:37 The balotas were printed by the National Printing Office.
22:42 We have live news. Tina Panganiban Perez. Tina.
22:47 Mark and Connie, the NPO Director Renato Acosta turned over the certificate of completion to Comalect Chair George Garcia as proof that the printing of more than 92 million ballots and thousands of election returns,
23:02 certificates of canvas and proclamation, statement of votes by precincts and summary statement of votes.
23:07 According to Garcia, the NPO did not pass the deadline after printing the ballots on time.
23:14 Garcia inspected the packaging of ballots and election paraphernalia in the NPO.
23:20 He opened a box for the Tarloc City.
23:24 Garcia showed that the color of the ballots is different for the barangay and SPA elections.
23:29 The ballots and election paraphernalia of the Tarloc City and the places in Cordillera Administrative Region, Regions 1, 2 and 3 will be printed here in the NPO.
23:39 Garcia said that this is to prevent the ballots from being sent far away.
23:44 The other ballots and election paraphernalia will be sent to the Laguna Warehouse in Santa Rosa where Comalect will bring them and process them.
23:51 The ballots will be sent to the Laguna Warehouse for Visayas and Mindanao.
23:55 The ballots will be processed, weighed, monitored by the Commission on Audit and Comalect Internal Audit Team.
24:04 According to Comalect spokesman Director Rex Laudianco, security in the NPO is tight.
24:10 There are PNP personnel who are on duty.
24:12 For the election of 2025, Garcia said, Comalect wants to bundle the paper for the ballots with the contract for supplying the machines rented by the Commission.
24:23 That means Mark and Connie, the winning bidder will supply the machines for the automated election in 2025 and the paper for the ballots will be bought by the Commission.
24:35 This must be followed by the requirements of the NPO.
24:38 Now, Comalect is buying or importing the paper.
24:42 From the NPO, Comalect will be sent to its warehouse in Laguna. Mark, Connie.
24:48 Tina, let's clarify. Is the barangay and SK election automated in October 30?
24:56 Yes it's manual Mark. But there are some places in the country where the voting and counting will be automated.
25:06 These are the barangays. Barangay Paliparan 3 in Dasmariña City, Cavite. Barangay Zone 2, Poblacion in Dasmariña City, REN.
25:15 And Barangay Pasong Tamo, Quezon City in the 6th District.
25:19 So those three places are the only places that are automated. All other places are manual Mark.
25:26 Why are there three places that are automated? What's special about those three?
25:29 Comalect has a plan to automate the election for barangay and SK.
25:38 But it will not be done because it will be reached by 2023 and it's not included in the preparation for 2025.
25:47 Okay. Testing, testing. Thank you. Thank you Tina Pangaliban Perez.
25:53 I want to talk about this. Because the price of diesel and gasoline is so high,
26:04 many people are thinking that if they don't ride a bicycle, they don't want to commute.
26:10 The cost of a ride is high. Or if possible, they should just walk.
26:13 That's why we have a few countrymen who use their cars for a living.
26:20 Like a businessman that we know. He's a Kalibuaklan.
26:26 That's why he came up with an ultimate solution.
26:29 What is it?
26:30 That's the Solar E-Bike.
26:33 An invention of Engineer Sotico Beltran.
26:37 The story of the engineer is that he's already discouraged by the high price of gasoline.
26:42 That's why he thought of installing a solar panel that is not used in an e-bike.
26:49 That's a great idea.
26:51 That's a great idea. Why not?
26:54 You can bring that.
26:55 He said that he can save 60,000 pesos for that.
26:59 That's a lot compared to the cost of his business of 1,000 pesos per day for gasoline.
27:07 It's also environment-friendly. That's why it's a good job.
27:12 Let's give it up for Engineer.
27:15 Engineer is a good name.
27:17 He can make a project for LGU.
27:19 You can do that.
27:22 You can do that.
27:23 You can do that.
27:24 We'll make Engineer do it.
27:27 You can see in the video the rotation of the big buoy in the middle of the houses in Jiangsu Province, China.
27:35 The wind was so strong that debris flew and the roof spread on the road.
27:42 Some cars and power poles also fell.
27:47 Wow. More than 1,006 houses were damaged in the earthquake.
27:53 Ten people were killed in the tragedy.
27:56 Chinese weather officials are also warning other regions in China about their experience of the rain.
28:04 The weather disturbances are different now.
28:09 It's like a movie.
28:10 Yes.
28:11 Here's the news about the rumors of cults in Soligao del Norte.
28:17 Exclusively on GMA Integrated News,
28:20 some former members are accusing the community of abusing the Socorro Bayanihan Services.
28:26 The leader of the group, J. Renz Killario, alias Sen. Aguila,
28:32 is spreading rumors about them.
28:34 Let's hear from Chino Gaston.
28:37 Dancers are dancing, people are clapping, children are singing and playing instruments.
28:48 That's how festive our team's greeting is when we went to Sitio Capihan,
28:57 the center of the Socorro Bayanihan Services community.
29:01 The group's leader, J. Renz Killario, alias Sen. Aguila,
29:05 and senior leaders, Karen Sanico and Mamerto Galanida, are there.
29:10 The group is now at the center of controversy because of various allegations.
29:14 First, the abuse of minors and the forced marriage of their members.
29:21 Some former members of the group spread the rumors of GMA Integrated News.
29:27 They don't want to do it because they are being forced.
29:31 They are doing it line by line by age.
29:33 After that, they will select if they are married,
29:37 if they are married to a man who is 20, 23, 14 years old.
29:45 After three days, if the man hasn't gotten the woman,
29:49 he will call Sen. Aguila and ask him to erase the photo
29:56 and to rape her because she's a futurist.
29:59 One of the forced marriages is Jane. Her name is not her real name.
30:03 I was forced to marry a 14-year-old man who is 18 years old.
30:10 I was forced to marry him because I was forced to follow their orders.
30:19 I was forced to marry Sen. Aguila because he was a man who was a sex addict.
30:27 He was a man who was a sex addict.
30:32 I was forced to marry him.
30:34 The former guard of Sen. Aguila's house, Mark, also has a story.
30:39 He's not his real name.
30:40 He was seen several times with a woman he was playing with at night.
30:44 Before I entered the room, I was asked to drink a glass of milk or children's juice.
30:51 Then, the next day, I was allowed to leave.
30:54 So, you're not going to replace the woman?
30:56 No, because there's a chance that I will go to heaven.
31:01 Aside from this, Mark has seen other things.
31:04 There are people who are underground who don't know.
31:08 They are told that they don't have weapons.
31:14 If they don't have weapons, why do they have weapons in their room?
31:18 We always bring our own.
31:20 One of the former members of the group, Jason, who is not his real name,
31:24 was included in Sen. Aguila's private army.
31:27 We are Sen. Aguila's private army.
31:29 He was an example in the election.
31:32 We were the ones who were sent there. We were the ones who became the security of the candidates.
31:40 According to Jason, he joined the Sucoro Bayanihan Services,
31:44 a normal religious group and people's organization.
31:47 But everything changed when Sen. Aguila arrived.
31:50 When he arrived in 2017, Jerens arrived.
31:55 He introduced himself as a Salvadoran.
32:02 Everyone believed him.
32:06 We were also brought there.
32:08 By the 29th, he announced that we were allowed to go up the mountain.
32:13 So we all went up.
32:15 Sen. Aguila said that a solar eclipse would happen.
32:19 The whole world would be in darkness.
32:21 The whole world would be in darkness.
32:25 By 2022, the war would start.
32:29 Because we have our own people, our own people.
32:33 Because of that, we cannot be in peace.
32:37 Jason showed some backlash on his arm because of what they did to their blood compact.
32:44 In front of Sen. Aguila, he also denied that they are forcing minors to get married
32:52 or forced to marry members who already have wives but did not join their community.
32:58 He also denied the forced sexual intercourse with women.
33:02 That's not what's happening here.
33:04 Because why? What are you choosing?
33:08 Nothing like that happened.
33:10 So you're not mixing and matching?
33:12 No.
33:13 Against their will.
33:14 Nothing like that happened.
33:15 What's happening here?
33:17 Even if it's just one person, you're doing it to each other.
33:20 Sanico also denied that the community is involved in illegal drugs and allegations of having a lot of guns.
33:26 So we were given the opportunity to enter the community of Capihan.
33:31 This is what's called the White House.
33:34 We're going to go inside to see if there are really contraband here.
33:40 And more importantly, if this is really illegal drugs.
33:45 There's none, sir. Look at what's written below.
33:48 In the basement.
33:49 What's in the basement?
33:50 Look, sir. It's hard to see.
33:53 It's very tight.
33:56 Look, sir. If there's just a line of safety tank,
34:01 we can see that there's really nothing.
34:04 They said it's the White House.
34:06 This is not the White House. This is the Grey House.
34:09 How can it be the White House?
34:11 Glazy Angel Digamon, one of almost 150 teachers who joined the group in 2019,
34:17 denied that the children are not allowed to study.
34:21 In the pandemic, that was also one of the reasons why our access to education was stopped.
34:28 But that doesn't stop our parents, especially us, because we know that they really teach.
34:34 There are also others who are modeling.
34:37 The leader of Socorro Bayanihan Services is ready to face any investigation.
34:42 From Surigao del Norte, where Socorro Bayanihan Services is based,
34:48 the Justice Department transferred to Metro Manila
34:51 the hearing of the complaints faced by J. Renz Scilario, alias Sen. Aguila,
34:57 and 12 others.
34:59 Even though the complaint was filed last June,
35:02 there was still no preliminary investigation due to the left-right motion to inhibit the group.
35:08 According to the Justice Department,
35:10 there should be an independent panel or prosecutor in Metro Manila
35:14 who will be able to focus on the case objectively.
35:17 The victim is not less than 50 children.
35:20 The complaint was filed against the group.
35:23 As for the investigation of the NBI, a task group will be formed,
35:27 the DOJ and the DSWD, to take care of the victims.
35:31 The DOJ called Socorro Bayanihan Services as a syndicate.
35:37 In the guise of religious freedom, there are means and bounds by which you can respect religious freedom
35:44 if it goes against human decency already.
35:47 Back in Sao Paulo, Brazil, another artist has a hot agenda.
35:52 Those are the three big sunny-side-up eggs outside a building.
35:57 You can have "What's for Breakfast" with these three giant-sized fried eggs.
36:04 This sculpture was inspired by the tradition of cooking eggs in the hot sun.
36:13 It's a battle against global warming and climate change.
36:17 That's right. And the heatwave in Brazil will be felt in the coming days.
36:22 It was made by Dutch artist Henk Hofstra,
36:25 who is a member of a festival that promotes sustainability through art.
36:30 Rachel Angus' piece in Manila Leg is a Pinoy pride,
36:40 a hit musical called Hamilton.
36:42 Rachel will once again play the role of Eliza Hamilton.
36:46 Rachel's story helped her growth as an artist who was a member of Hamilton.
36:52 She says that the cast and production team felt the warm support of her fellow Filipinos.
36:58 Rachel even said that she was a Nostradamus back then about Hamilton.
37:04 Back in 2017, I always say this to people,
37:10 I had a feeling that Hamilton will come to the Philippines.
37:14 I had a feeling that I'm going to do it.
37:16 I think I already claimed it.
