00:10 Good morning! Here are the first news of JMA Integrated News.
00:16 A young man from the Audit Commission has been given more than 2 billion pesos in confidential funds
00:24 by Vice President Sara Duterte when she was the Mayor of Davao City.
00:27 Bibi Duterte will not comment on the issue for now.
00:31 Jonathan Andal has the first news.
00:33 According to the Audit Reports of the Commission on Audit, which was assessed by JMA Integrated News Research,
00:41 in the two terms of Vice President Sara Duterte as the Mayor of Davao City from 2016 to 2022,
00:48 the local government spent more than 2.6 billion pesos in confidential funds.
00:54 From 2019 until before she ran as the second president in May 2022,
00:59 the government spent 460 million pesos in confidential funds annually.
01:05 If this is really useful for Davao City, then it should have a performance report.
01:14 And the least is, it should be returned if it is not accounted for properly.
01:18 According to House Deputy Minority Leader Franz Castro, if you will agree,
01:24 the confidential funds of Davao City spent annually is about 1.2 million pesos
01:28 by the Mayor of Davao City, VP Sara, in the past 6 years.
01:32 According to JMA Integrated News Research,
01:34 this is more than the confidential funds of the three richest cities in the Philippines from 2016 to 2022.
01:42 1.4 billion pesos in Makati City, 477.5 million pesos in Manila,
01:48 and 435 million pesos in Quezon City, the richest city in the country.
01:53 The Vice President will not comment on this for now.
01:56 The first thing that the House Appropriations Committee Chairman Representative Elizalde Co. said
02:01 is that the confidential and intelligence funds of OVP, DepEd, and other civilian agencies
02:07 in agencies that are targeted to the West Philippine Sea are being transferred by the Camera.
02:11 This is the first news. Jonathan Andal for JMA Integrated News.
02:15 The weather has been bad in different parts of the country since yesterday.
02:19 In Metro Manila, the rain was heavy earlier this morning.
02:22 Some riders had to turn around in Edsa.
02:26 In Casiguran, Aurora, due to the rain,
02:28 some of their cattle and corn were not able to graze.
02:32 The weather is also harsh in Ilagan and Isabela.
02:34 The Disaster Council of the Region is preparing for the Jeni Storm.
02:38 In the town of Suyo in Ilocos Sur, the ground was wet due to the rain.
02:42 The road was not accessible due to the large impact of the stones.
02:45 According to the police, no one was injured in the incident.
02:49 The footbridge in Edsa Carousel in Caloocan will be closed for a month.
02:54 We have live news. This is Bam Alegre. Bam.
02:57 Susanne, good morning.
03:02 The passengers, especially the Elsa Bus Carousel passengers, will be told to close the footbridge in Caloocan.
03:11 There is a big warning to give the passengers an idea.
03:18 The footbridge in Edsa MCU or Manila Central University Hospital in Caloocan is off-limits.
03:24 After the access point is served by many passengers,
03:27 the footbridge will be closed for a month, from October 2 to November 2.
03:34 The Department of Transportation will conduct repairs and rehabilitation of the footbridge.
03:39 The surveillance system will be improved,
03:41 the stations will be expanded and it will be made accessible to persons with disabilities or PWD.
03:47 This is part of the extensive rehabilitation of the Edsa Busway.
03:50 While it is closed, the footbridge in Edsa Boni Serrano will be temporarily used
03:54 to allow passengers to reach the Edsa Bus Carousel.
03:57 Some commuters have already noticed that there will be a lot of hassle due to this change.
04:02 I think a lot of people will be affected.
04:08 A lot of people will have a hard time because they will have to travel far.
04:13 But this is also for the benefit of passengers.
04:16 It's okay, maybe for safety, so that the footbridge will be fixed.
04:22 [ambient traffic noise]
04:27 Susan, rush hour is starting this morning here at the Edsa Bus Carousel at Monumento Station.
04:33 But there are a lot of buses that are lined up at this time.
04:37 However, the bus that is behind us, the one that uses the overpass,
04:42 will not be seen by many once this closure is started.
04:47 This is the first news from Caloocan.
04:49 Bama Nagre for GMA Integrated News.
04:52 Dear friends of Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections,
04:56 what should we remember about these dates?
05:00 On August 28, the election period started and it will end on November 29.
05:08 On October 19, the campaign period started.
05:12 Its last day is on October 28.
05:17 Election day is on October 30.
05:20 It starts from 7 am to 3 pm.
05:24 When the polling precincts are closed, the counting and canvassing of votes will start.
05:30 The proclamation of the winning candidates may also be held.
05:34 And before we forget, on November 29 is the last day
05:39 for the candidates to submit statements of contributions and expenditures.
05:46 The holiday season is coming and preparations are expected.
05:50 The supply of pork is getting thinner in some parts of the country.
05:53 This is the first live news of Adrian Piedos of GMA Regional TV 1, Western Visayas.
05:59 Adrian?
06:00 Yes, Susan. Good morning.
06:05 Bad news for our beloved hearts, lechon and pork.
06:09 It's possible that your Christmas will not be merry
06:12 because of the ASF or African Swine Fever here in Negros Occidental.
06:17 It's possible that the supply of pork will be short this holiday season.
06:21 As preparation for the upcoming holiday season,
06:28 the high demand for pork is expected.
06:31 The Association of Hog Racers in Negros Occidental has made an assessment
06:35 to their hog farmers and racers.
06:37 It came out that the number of pigs in the province is not enough.
06:41 It's said that this is due to the effect of the recent case of African Swine Fever.
06:45 Nevertheless, the Negros Occidental Provincial Veterinary Office assured
07:06 that the supply of pork will be enough until the holiday season
07:09 because the transportation of pork is limited in other provinces.
07:13 According to the PVO, more than 200,000 pigs are being taken care of in the province
07:32 so that the hog industry in Negros Occidental can be recovered from the effect of the ASF.
07:37 Governor Eugenio Cebong-Laxon issued a recovery plan
07:41 which includes the steps of the hog racers in the help of the provincial government.
07:47 Susan, according to the provincial government of Negros Occidental,
07:58 they will implement the Hog Repopulation Program in the next year, 2024.
08:03 Susan?
08:04 Thank you very much, Adrian Prietos of GMA Regional TV One, Western Visayas.
08:09 For the discussion of the implementation of the floating barriers of China in Bajo de Macinloc
08:15 and the smuggling of garbage in some parts of the West Philippine Sea,
08:19 we will listen to Defense Secretary Gilbert Guibo Teodoro.
08:22 Good morning, Secretary. This is Maris.
08:25 Good morning, Maris.
08:27 Yes. Secretary, following the incidents in Bajo de Macinloc
08:31 and the disappearance of coral reefs,
08:34 will the Philippine Navy join the patrol of the Philippine Coast Guard
08:39 at BIFAR in our territory in the West Philippine Sea, Secretary?
08:42 No. The operations of the Coast Guard are enough in our opinion
08:48 to assert our sovereign rights in that area,
08:53 especially because fishermen and fisherfolk are affected.
08:59 So we have no request to change the existing arrangements.
09:07 Even if there are Chinese militia that are guarding and surrounding the area,
09:14 the Philippine Navy should not face them?
09:18 If necessary, we should talk to the National Security Council and we will discuss that.
09:26 I have no authority to say if it is necessary or not.
09:33 The National Security Council and the President are the only ones who have the power to say.
09:41 We understand that, Secretary.
09:43 But these incidents are not new,
09:46 and China has become more aggressive in their surveillance of our Coast Guard and fishermen.
09:53 We saw the videos recently.
09:55 What will the Department of National Defense do to protect the rights of our country in the West Philippine Sea
10:01 in coordination with the NSC?
10:04 Well, our role is to have a credible deterrent force.
10:11 That's why we are speeding up our efforts to deter any territorial incursions
10:24 and illegal activities in the West Philippine Sea,
10:29 and not just in the West Philippine Sea, but in other parts of the ocean.
10:34 That is the role of the Department of National Defense.
10:37 And how exactly do we plan to do this, Secretary?
10:40 We will see our representatives in Congress, capability upgrades and modernization,
10:47 and alliances with other countries.
10:50 That is how we will end the rules-based international order and international law.
10:56 Because what China is doing is a violation of international law.
11:00 Secretary, because of China's aggressive actions, will the Philippines and the US add more EDCAS sites?
11:07 We haven't talked about that yet, but we will definitely add more Philippine bases.
11:13 Are there areas already?
11:16 In the Philippine bases?
11:18 Yes.
11:19 They are being determined now, but my instruction to our armed forces is to plan for the end of our artificial baselines as much as possible.
11:32 And this will be a joint post guard, Philippine Navy or Philippine Air Force, and civilian sites.
11:40 Because we need to protect our baselines.
11:45 How soon are we expecting this to happen, Secretary?
11:48 The groundwork needs to be started by next year.
11:52 The groundwork, the plan now is the groundwork.
11:55 Because of course, we will get land and make sure that the land is adequate or adequate to our purpose.
12:04 Then we will arrange the papers on the title of this so it will be sustainable.
12:10 And the infrastructure development will continue after that.
12:15 Secretary, in other talks, you plan to revise the AFP reserve program. Is the ROTC included here, Secretary?
12:24 The ROTC is not included, but the ROTC should be fused with our plans to be revised.
12:32 Because maybe next year, our strategic plan will be revised. Maybe the current reserve force structure is not adequate for the new and more technological that we need to have a credible deterrence and reserve force.
12:56 Secretary... all right, go ahead.
12:58 The second important thing in the ROTC is that it has special skills because they are college degree majors of specific studies.
13:10 That is what we need here in the Department of National Defense and Armed Forces to expand our capabilities.
13:18 Is joining patrol missions in disputed territories part of their training?
13:27 It's in the AFP if it's included. As long as it's mine, we can use the special and technical skills that they have to complement our armed forces.
13:45 Secretary, in the discussion of peace talks, will the peace talks of the government, CPP and PANDF continue under the administration of Marcos?
13:54 I have not heard anything. Like I said, there is an amnesty that will be issued, like what our President said in SONA. That's what we are waiting for.
14:09 Secretary, thank you very much for the information you gave us and for the time you gave us this morning.
14:16 Thank you, Maris. Thank you.
14:18 Again, my dear colleagues, Secretary Givote-Odoro of the Department of National Defense. Good morning to you, Secretary.
14:24 They are considered the second parents of students. To show their hard work and dedication of the teachers, they organized a concert in Malacanang.
14:35 That's the first news of Jamie Santos.
14:42 As a tribute to the teachers of Teachers Month, he organized a concert in Malacanang Palace Grounds last night.
14:49 This is the reason why the teachers are dedicated to the students, who are tirelessly sharing their knowledge and knowledge.
14:57 President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is present.
15:00 First Lady Liza Araneta Marcos, Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte, and other high-ranking officials of the country are also present.
15:10 I am her teacher's pet. She always helps me with my studies.
15:14 She was also very, very helpful to me outside the school.
15:23 She helps me when I need a tutorial. She gives me rosaries. She gives me prayers. I will never forget her. I call her Miss Reyes.
15:34 At the concert, some distinguished teachers were introduced.
15:38 I was able to become a parent and a voice of PWD.
15:42 When you have dedication in your heart, I really like it. I see myself that I will not change my path in the coming years. I will die as a teacher.
15:57 These are the least, the lost, and the last students, the last mile students that I would want to help.
16:03 I just told the students, "Let's persevere. Let's persevere in the exam."
16:08 Your teacher, Sir Bryant, will do everything. I will do everything that I could do to provide you the opportunities to learn.
16:17 Aside from the teachers' dedication, the concert also became a way for them to stand behind the flourishing industry or creative industries that were hit by the COVID-19 pandemic.
16:29 Among the special guests were the well-known theatre actors, Gerald Santos, Ima Castro, and Shila Valderrama Martinez.
16:38 Among the participants were the Central Mindanao University Music Society and the Douglas Mieras Power Dance.
16:49 This is the first news. Jamie Santos for JMA Integrated News.
16:58 [Music]
