00:00 [Music]
00:09 Good morning. Here are the first news of GMA Integrated News.
00:14 The price of rice in some markets is lower than the previous price cap according to the Department of Agriculture.
00:21 Is it possible to remove the price cap?
00:23 First news, Bernadette Reyes.
00:29 Since the price cap was implemented on September 5,
00:32 retailers in the Commonwealth Market in Quezon City will sell rice at a lower price without losing money.
00:39 Before, we were able to sell 42, now we can sell 38.
00:45 We can sell 41, we are earning money.
00:49 According to the monitoring of the Department of Agriculture,
00:52 if the price will be compared before the price cap is implemented,
00:56 the price of regular milled rice is lowered to Php 12 and to Php 7 for well-milled rice.
01:02 If the price of rice is lowered, does it mean that the price cap can be removed?
01:07 The Department of Trade and Industry said that they will possibly issue a recommendation by the DA in the next two weeks.
01:14 The supply, the stocks, the inventory, and the external factors from outside,
01:21 I suppose will be considered favorable circumstances that augur well for a recommendation to lift the AO39 price ceilings.
01:33 The GMA Integrated News tried to get the DA's opinion on this.
01:39 But they first said that there are good indications that there are retailers that are able to sell rice at a lower price cap.
01:48 The DA and other government agencies are monitoring this
01:51 to issue an informed recommendation on lifting the price ceiling.
01:55 It is also one of the considerations that the increase in supply is expected due to the crop season.
02:01 In addition, the Bureau of Plant Industry said that the rice self-sufficiency of the country is increasing
02:07 and they are already importing but our supply is sufficient.
02:11 They are hoping that the price cap will be lifted in the next two weeks.
02:16 While the decision is not yet made, consumers and small businesses are hoping that the price of rice will continue to fall.
02:23 It is good if the price of rice will continue to fall so that we can recover somehow.
02:29 This is the first news, Bernadette Reyes for GMA Integrated News.
02:34 It was hard to breathe and the Malay Dalumanosa was gone due to the extreme heat
02:41 that students in the Sublayan Occidental, Mindoro need.
02:45 The military is still monitoring the areas that are on the Comlec Watch List
02:48 for the Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections.
02:51 This is the first news, the host of GMA Regional TV Early Edition, Kaitlyn Revilla.
02:56 Kaitlyn, good morning.
02:58 Good morning, Maris.
03:02 The Regional Joint Peace and Security Center in Western Visayas
03:08 is working to discuss the steps to ensure that the Barangay and SK elections will be peaceful in October.
03:15 In the Regional Joint Peace and Security Center of Western Visayas,
03:23 172 barangays are included in the Comlec Election Watch List areas
03:29 for the upcoming Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections.
03:34 These are the areas that are considered as the yellow category or areas of concern.
03:38 163 barangays are considered as the areas of immediate concern,
03:43 most of which are in the province of Iloilo.
03:46 The three barangays in Negros Occidental are in the red category or areas of grave concern.
03:52 The barangays were not named by the Comlec while the validation is still ongoing.
03:57 The evaluation on the realities of the ground continues.
04:02 In fact, this list could be lessened in the next few weeks or even longer.
04:09 The area of concern is considered as the yellow category if there are election-related incidents in the last two elections,
04:16 such as intense political rivalry, presence of armed groups,
04:21 election-related incidents during the election period, and if one is under Comlec control.
04:27 In the orange category, if there are two or more incidents in the yellow category,
04:33 and if there is a presence of rebel groups, the area in the red category could be under Comlec control.
04:40 The areas with presence of rebel groups are strictly monitored by the military.
04:46 We will see to it that the security preparation is very flexible,
04:52 that we can attend to only in eventualities, especially in those areas that we deem as areas of concern.
05:01 The Yapang National High School in Sablayan Occidental Mindoro was in a state of chaos
05:08 when the students were exhausted and having difficulty breathing.
05:11 Some of them suddenly lost consciousness.
05:14 According to Sablayan MDRMO,
05:17 14 students from different grade levels were rushed to the hospital.
05:22 Some of them were in oxygen before being round-bagged.
05:26 Some of them were in batteries with hyperventilators.
05:29 This is the second time this happened this week.
05:33 That's why face-to-face classes were suspended until today.
05:38 We converted them to modular or online through missing gear or blended or hybrid.
05:46 The students were already out of the hospital.
05:48 Because of the heat, the MDRMO recommended that the nurse's assistant should lead the way.
05:56 They also issued a public reminder on how to avoid symptoms of heatstroke.
06:02 For those who desire a different food drip, in Polomolok, South Cotabato,
06:09 not only in the fields or farms, you can see the bats,
06:14 which are fried to make food.
06:17 They are marinated first and after 30 minutes of frying,
06:21 they are ready to eat.
06:24 According to a health expert,
06:26 this food is limited to those who have allergies.
06:30 For those who want to eat in a pan,
06:35 they can eat 10 to 15 pieces of bat.
06:40 This is so that they can eat more.
06:44 If people are observing this,
06:47 if they are allergic to red food,
06:49 they can eat a small amount.
06:51 That's the latest from Iliila City.
06:58 Meanwhile, for our listeners in Western Visayas,
07:01 watch out for GMA Regional TV Early Edition later after the first break.
07:06 Maris?
07:09 Yes, I'm here.
07:10 Chocolate and not a dollar,
07:13 was tested by the Office of Transportation Security Personnel in Naia on September 8.
07:19 She submitted a supplementary to our investigation team.
07:26 She ate chocolate.
07:29 It's not normal to eat chocolate like that.
07:33 It's hard and she pushed it.
07:37 And you don't need water.
07:39 They really believed that it's not chocolate.
07:42 The grave misconduct was committed by the last camp personnel,
07:47 including her supervisor and her co-worker,
07:50 who received water.
07:52 Three people were also in preventive suspension,
07:54 not informed by the OTS.
07:56 14 OTS personnel were also investigated,
07:58 who were on duty.
08:00 Aside from the administrative case,
08:02 the OTS is also investigating the theft case.
08:05 The maximum penalty was imposed by Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista.
08:09 The Manila International Airport Authority was also dismayed by the incident.
08:13 The MIAA said that the airport frontliners in Naia have no place to go
08:18 and that they are wasting their efforts to make the service in Palipara better.
08:23 The residents living near Tal Volcano are being careful,
08:27 especially those who have lung disease
08:29 due to the continuous eruption of the volcanic ismag of the volcano.
08:34 We are live from Tagaytay.
08:35 First news is from James Agustin.
08:37 James, is the volcanic ismag you are experiencing still thick?
08:43 Yes, Ican. Good morning.
08:48 You know, the volcanic ismag is still thick.
08:50 And that is what the Taal Volcano Network explained to us this morning.
08:54 Why until now, we still cannot see the eruption of this volcano Taal.
08:59 And one of the affected by the volcanic ismag from this volcano
09:03 is Tagaytay City in Cavite.
09:05 All residents are being careful, especially those who have asthma.
09:10 Not only did the fog cover Tagaytay City early this morning,
09:16 it is also one of the places in Cavite that was affected by the volcanic ismag from Taal Volcano.
09:21 Ms. Shirley, who is a fruit vendor,
09:24 did not say that she will take care of it, but her face mask is ready.
09:28 Last Sunday, they experienced the smell of sulfur,
09:32 so they prepared this.
09:33 It hurts my nose, eyes, and here in my throat.
09:39 That is why we bought face masks early in the morning.
09:42 The resident, Jay, is used to this situation, but he is still careful.
09:46 The mask covers my face.
09:49 If possible, I will cover my face so that the ismag will be removed.
09:55 Because it hurts my throat.
09:57 We managed to get Mel Quinn to go to her job.
10:01 She really wore a face mask as a precaution, especially if she has asthma.
10:05 We announced in our group chat that we will wear face masks for safety precautions.
10:11 My mouth is itching and I can't breathe.
10:14 I told my mother to wear a face mask while at home because I am a bit old.
10:21 The life of the tricycle driver, Ricky, is also affected
10:25 because the school is not allowed in Tagaytay City due to the volcanic ismag.
10:30 I am used to it.
10:31 I am used to it.
10:33 But not always.
10:35 There are days when there are a lot of ismag and there are days when there are none.
10:38 Not always.
10:40 According to the Feebook, since the first week of September,
10:43 the volcanic ismag has affected the Taal region.
10:46 Yesterday afternoon, the Taal Volcano Network observed it
10:49 and it affected various places.
10:52 The volcanic ismag can cause irritation to the eyes, throat, and respiratory tract.
10:59 Especially those with asthma, lung and heart disease,
11:01 senior citizens, and even children.
11:04 Until now, we have not seen the Taal Volcano from one of the view decks here in Tagaytay City.
11:15 But it should be seen now according to the Taal Volcano Network.
11:18 Even so, we have not seen it.
11:20 The gas upwelling and the white smoke or what is called steam plume is still going out from the volcano.
11:28 It can reach up to 2,400 meters.
11:31 Residents are being told that it is possible for the volcanic ismag to affect them.
11:36 Always wear a face mask, if possible N95 mask.
11:40 Drink plenty of water.
11:42 And if you have nothing important to do outside, stay at home.
11:47 That is the first news from Tagaytay City.
11:49 I am James Agustin for GEMA Integrated News.
11:53 James, regarding the volcanic activity of the Taal Volcano,
11:57 was there a tremor recorded in the last 24 hours?
12:00 Yes, Igan. According to the information we got from the Taal Volcano Network,
12:07 there were 5 volcanic tremors recorded in the last 24 hours.
12:12 But this is longer than usual.
12:15 Usually, tremors last only 2 to 3 minutes.
12:18 But yesterday, the lowest tremor was recorded in 20 minutes.
12:23 The longest tremor was recorded in less than an hour.
12:27 And the Taal Volcano is still in alert level 1.
12:31 Igan?
12:33 Thank you very much, James Agustin.
12:35 China called the Philippine government's plan to file a new complaint
12:40 to the Permanent Court of Arbitration
12:42 in connection with the destruction of the Baura in Rosul or Iroquois Reef in the West Philippine Sea.
12:49 We are now going to talk to the Department of Foreign Affairs
12:53 who helped the Office of the Solicitor General in filing a complaint.
12:56 We have first news from JP Soriano.
12:59 After the Office of the Solicitor General said that the Philippine government is studying
13:07 the filing of a new complaint to the Permanent Court of Arbitration
13:13 in connection with the destruction of the Baura in the West Philippine Sea.
13:19 The Department of Foreign Affairs said that they are ready to contribute
13:25 to the filing of a new complaint against China.
13:28 The DFA said that they are waiting for the government agencies to investigate
13:33 the destruction of the Baura in Rosul Reef.
13:38 In the statement of the Foreign Ministry of China, there is no truth and basis for this accusation.
13:44 They even denied the news behind this
13:48 which stopped the making of their political drama and just a false thought.
13:54 The China Foreign Ministry also said that if the Philippines really wanted
13:59 to protect the environment in the South China Sea,
14:04 they should immediately remove the BRP Sierra Madre
14:08 that is located in Ayungin Shoal, which is called China, also known as Jiao.
14:13 Ayungin Shoal is part of the territorial sea and is inside the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines
14:21 that was strengthened by the 2016 arbitral ruling.
14:25 On the 74th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China,
14:31 Chinese Ambassador Wang Xilian said that the relationship and ties of China and the Philippines
14:35 should not be confined to the South China Sea.
14:41 Our relations should not be defined by the South China Sea issue.
14:46 The disputes of which must be properly managed through friendly and peaceful consultations.
14:55 This is the first time that the Chinese Ambassador has been seen in public
15:00 since the issue of the destruction and destruction of corals in the West Philippine Sea
15:06 and the continued maintenance of Chinese military militia vessels
15:10 in various parts of the Philippines' EEZ.
15:15 It is imperative that we implement the consensus reached between our two heads of state.
15:24 Stay firmly in the right direction of our relations and unaffected by irritants.
15:31 Instead, step up cooperation so as to make sure that such relations will sail through.
15:39 President Bongbong Marcos did not attend the celebration.
15:43 Vice President Sara Duterte sent a recorded video message from South Korea
15:51 to the Philippines to express his hope that China will succeed in various fields.
15:59 I take a particular interest in strengthening cooperation in the field of education and youth development.
16:06 As we undertake efforts to further strengthen our relations,
16:10 may we continue to pursue avenues and opportunities that will result in mutually beneficial outcomes for our peoples.
16:18 Duterte's entire video message was also read in Mandarin.
16:23 I would like to thank all the people of the Philippines for their support and support.
16:32 Her Excellency Vice President Sara Duterte, thank her so much for the warm message.
16:41 And she does speak very good Chinese.
16:45 This is the first news from JP Soriano for GMA Integrated News.
16:54 Education must follow the pace of technology.
16:58 This is what Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte said at the Global Education and Innovation Summit in Seoul, South Korea.
17:08 The advent of artificial intelligence will certainly create another paradigm shift in education.
17:16 While this possibility will present more and greater opportunities,
17:22 it will present many uncertainties in our vision of digital education.
17:32 The Vice President also added that critical thinking, communication, collaboration and creativity in the use of technology should be linked.
17:41 Children should also be taught to distinguish between the truth and the untruthful information.
17:48 Before that, Duterte attended a bilateral meeting with the Minister of Education and Deputy Prime Minister of South Korea, Lee Ju-pok.
17:56 They discussed digital innovation for education.
18:00 In another meeting, the Vice President said that politics is the reason why the issue of the confidential funds of the Department of Education is still not resolved.
18:10 The use of funds is against the law.
18:13 Duterte also met with the Filipino community in South Korea.
18:17 They were welcomed by more than 60,000 Filipinos there.
18:21 They are ready to face the hearing of Senator J. Renz Hilario or Sen. Aguila, the leader of the Controversial Socorro Bayanihan Services in Surigao del Norte.
18:31 We will go even if we don't have money, so that they will know what really happened, what the whole community is.
18:38 The whole organization is hurt.
18:40 Sen. Aguila also rejected the allegations of abuse against minors.
18:47 He also denied the involvement of illegal drugs and the creation of a private army.
18:51 Before this, a former member told us that they have an Aguila Squad that is trained in military training, hand-to-hand combat, and the use of weapons.
19:02 The senior leader, Mamerto Galanida, said that the possible training is for rescue operations whenever there is an accident.
19:13 JMA Integrated News also entered Sen. Aguila's house where the weapons were hidden.
19:18 Audio and video equipment were shown to our news team, which is said to be used by their singing and dancing groups, and their FM radio station.
19:28 The Commission on Human Rights will investigate the site of Kapihan, the community center of Socorro Bayanihan Services.
19:36 We will find out if the members of the commission really banned the visitation of their relatives.
19:43 Some members were also shocked.
19:45 Some parents took the weight of habeas corpus to get their children back, who are under the custody of the local government, and witness the fight against the group.
19:55 I am taking my children to Socorro Bayanihan Services. We know how to take care of our children. I want to help my children get back here.
20:06 We really fought against him. He studied in the village where my parents live. He was taken by the Kapihan Task Force.
20:19 Let's go back to the situation in Tagaytay, which is affected by volcanic smog from Taal Volcano.
20:25 James Agustin is live. James?
20:28 Good morning. Until now, there is still zero visibility around Taal Volcano due to volcanic smog.
20:39 From a view deck here in Tagaytay City, Cavite, the volcanic eruption of the volcano is not visible due to the thickness of the smog.
20:47 However, according to the Taal Volcano Observatory, using their seismic monitors, gas upwelling is still continuing in the crater of the volcano.
20:54 It is still emitting white smoke or what is called steam plume.
20:58 It is reaching 3,000 meters high this morning and the direction is to the southwest.
21:03 Since 4 o'clock yesterday, there is no recorded volcanic tremor.
21:08 This morning, some tourists headed here to Tagaytay, hoping to see the volcano, but they were confused due to the thickness of the volcanic smog.
21:16 I just wanted to see the volcanic smog, what it looks like, and I also wanted to see the Taal Volcano, what the situation is.
21:31 But we can't see anything because the smog is too thick.
21:43 Meanwhile, we will remind the residents that the volcanic smog may affect those wearing face masks.
21:50 That's all for now. From Tagaytay City, Cavite, I am James Agustin for GEMA Integrated News.
21:57 For the update on the volcanic smog or vog that is being caused by the Taal Volcano, we will be joined by the Director of PHEVOX, Dr. Teresito Bacolcol.
22:06 Good morning, Director Bacolcol.
22:09 Yes, good morning, ma'am.
22:12 Director, what is your latest monitoring on the Taal Volcano? Please explain why there is a vog again.
22:17 Again, let's explain the vog or volcanic smog.
22:22 Volcanic smog or vog is a mixture of water vapor and particulate that is accompanied by sulfur dioxide.
22:30 When hot volcanic material comes into contact with water, we experience degassing or steaming.
22:38 This is the process of releasing white smoke that we see in the Taal Volcano.
22:43 Along with the white smoke, a lot of sulfur dioxide comes out.
22:48 If the steam is high, even if there is sulfur dioxide, there is no problem since it can be dissolved easily.
22:55 But there are times that the sulfur dioxide and water vapor will stay on the lower level when there is a thermal inversion.
23:05 The temperature near the ground is low and the steam plumes cannot rise.
23:14 There are times, depending on the prevailing wind conditions, it is dispersed to other places.
23:19 This is where people smell it.
23:21 Director, is this an indication that the Taal Volcano might erupt again?
23:26 This is not an indication that we will raise the alert level 1 to alert level 2.
23:34 Right now, it is still on alert level 1.
23:36 We are looking at different parameters before we raise the alert level to 2.
23:41 If we look at the number of earthquakes from 5 a.m. yesterday to 5 a.m. today, we have only 5 volcanic earthquakes.
23:52 Director, how long will it take for this volcanic smog to be seen and experienced?
23:58 This will probably take, again, as long as Taal Volcano is spewing out sulfur dioxide, this will be a recurring threat.
24:09 The duration of the sulfur dioxide emission cannot be predicted due to unprecedented levels in the recorded history.
24:19 If we look at it, prior to the 2020 eruption, we did not have sulfur dioxide in Taal.
24:26 After the 2020 eruption, there was a lot of sulfur dioxide.
24:32 If you compare this to, say for example, a volcano in Japan, Miyake-Jima, which also emitted a lot of sulfur dioxide,
24:45 several years before the eruption or before the sulfur dioxide emission decreased, Miyake-Jima took five years to decrease its sulfur dioxide emission.
24:57 Director, what is the direction of this volcanic eruption?
25:03 Can we say where it will go so that our countrymen and our loved ones who live near Taal Volcano can be prepared?
25:14 Yes, it depends on the wind direction.
25:18 Yesterday, the direction of the volcano was towards the west.
25:24 We reported many students who have trouble breathing due to the smell of the volcano.
25:34 There are two western sides, Tuy Batanga and Calaca in Balayan and Nasugbo.
25:43 All of them are on the western side of Taal Volcano.
25:46 How far can it reach?
25:49 There are schools that suspended their classes in Las Piñas and here in Metro Manila, Isan Juan.
25:58 How far can it reach?
26:00 It can reach far.
26:03 Nasugbo is on the western side of Batanga.
26:10 Again, it depends on the wind.
26:13 If the wind is strong, it can easily disperse towards faraway places.
26:19 Director, do you recommend evacuating the residents, especially those who are near Taal Volcano and they are the first to be affected?
26:30 The LGUs have been dealing with this for the last two years and they are quite prepared for this.
26:38 There are cases in the past where the whole barangays were evacuated temporarily when residents were exposed.
26:43 Again, it's the call of the LGUs.
26:46 Our advice is for the residents to avoid outdoor activities, they stay inside their houses, close the doors and windows.
26:57 If they cannot avoid going out, they protect themselves by wearing face masks and N95 if possible.
27:04 If they are exposed to the storm, they should drink plenty of water because it's easy to dilute the storm.
27:10 We're hoping that it will rain because the sulfur dioxide will be flushed out.
27:14 What are the things we should remind our fellow citizens, especially those who have respiratory ailments, asthma, and other diseases?
27:26 If they are exposed to the storm, they should drink plenty of water.
27:32 If they are really sick, especially those with health conditions like asthma, lung disease, and other respiratory problems, then they need to see a medical doctor.
27:40 So we cannot say how long this will last and if it will get worse as we speak because our reporter in Tagaytay, as we saw, his surroundings are more foggy.
27:53 You're right. Again, this will be a recurring threat so they need to prepare. They should have face masks in case they smell of sulfur, they should wear them immediately.
28:05 Even if they are inside the vehicle, director, and they pass through that area, when should they wear face masks even if they are inside the vehicle?
28:11 Yes, if possible, if we practice wearing face masks, so we can be sure that we are not exposed to the storm.
28:22 Okay. Thank you very much V-Box director Teresito Bacolcol. Good morning to you.
28:27 Good morning also.

29:21 Badminton and table tennis sporting events will also return.

29:28 Do not fear, only believe. That's what we are told. Don't be afraid, just believe in yourself.
29:33 Before we think about the championship, let's think about how we will win each game.
29:38 The basketball team of De La Salle College of St. Benilde also seemed to beat this year.
29:43 During this offseason, that's what we really worked on, which is our mental game.
29:48 The LPU team captain, Inok Valdez, is very grateful to the NCAA.
29:55 If it wasn't for the NCAA, I wouldn't have been noticed by the PBA.
29:59 I wouldn't have been drafted because that's where I came from.
30:03 Other teams are also ready.
30:05 Our goal is to improve every training, every day.
30:09 If you face an easy opponent, it won't be easy for everyone.
30:13 The NCAA aims to bring out the excellence, discipline and excellence of the youth in sports and to be a champion in their lives.
30:23 The NCAA is all about the student-athlete. They are our future hope.
30:26 So now we're going to see new faces.
30:29 So for sure, the new heroes of the game would be the student-athletes, making the big plays, breaking records.
30:36 Behind the opening ceremony of NCAA Season 99, New Heroes of the Game, where some sparkle stars will perform.

31:01 After the killer reveal, what happened to the Royal family?
31:06 When will mommy wake up?
31:10 Archie misses her.
31:15 I miss her so much.
31:19 Mommy, wake up. Mommy, wake up now.
31:22 Don't sleep tight like Lolo, okay?
31:25 That was one of the heart-breaking scenes in Royal Blood last night.
31:30 Aidan Veneracion, aka Archie Royales, found out that his son, Megan Young, or Diana, was comatose in the series because of a car accident.
31:39 Christoph also apologized for the sins of his wife, Diana, that Michael Dyes is committing.
31:46 And to stop the curse on the Royal family, Ces Quezada, aka Manang Cleof, said,
31:53 "Napoy or Ding Dong Dantes will greet the siblings."
31:58 So, the siblings of Napoy, Christoph, and Lian Valentin, aka Beatrice, are now greeting each other in the series.
32:04 In a separate tweet post, both of them gave tribute to Michael and Megan in their last scenes in the drama.
32:13 The series' producer asked the Royalistas who will be the next person to take Diana's life.
32:17 And wait, Margaret, Don Gustavo's killer, will return as Tyrso Cruz.
32:22 Those are the things we should look forward to in the finale of Royal Blood, after the series' finale.
32:28 You're so smart.
