NewsTranscript
00:00 Good morning. Here are the first news updates of GMA Integrated News.
00:11 We are now returning to the Commonwealth in the Philcoa area.
00:16 What we can see now is that we cannot see any stranded passengers.
00:23 We just saw a large group of jeeps that were riding on the road.
00:31 That's why the line was quickly cut off.
00:36 We talked to many of them.
00:38 They will be heading to Tigil Pasada, Nakakasa, today.
00:43 But they will only be there for one or two trips.
00:46 They will be there for food.
00:48 They will be there for food today, but they will be alone later.
00:52 Some of them will not be joining us because they joined the other day.
00:58 Some of them will not join us at all because from Monday to the end of this week,
01:04 they will continue their journey.
01:07 Today is the first day of the Tigil Pasada of the Manibela group
01:12 and the last day of the Tigil Pasada of the Pistons group.
01:16 We will talk to the leader of the Manibela group about the issues they are fighting.
01:22 We are now on the line with General Mar Valbuena of the Manibela group.
01:26 General Valbuena, good morning to you.
01:28 Good morning sir Ivan and to all the viewers.
01:32 Hello.
01:36 Sir, what was the reason behind your decision to conduct the Tigil Pasada from today until Friday?
01:44 Sir Ivan, we talked with our Pistons brother about the Tigil Pasada.
01:55 We launched the Tigil Pasada at a different date.
02:02 We planned to launch it earlier. This is the date, not Monday.
02:10 But even so, our only goal is to stop the consolidation.
02:18 The LTFRB is saying that the December 31 deadline to consolidate is non-negotiable.
02:30 How about this? If you want to extend this, it is non-negotiable.
02:36 How will the resolution be here?
02:39 That's right sir Ivan. If they're saying that 140,000 have been consolidated, that's a lot sir Ivan.
02:48 If they want to modernize it, we will reach 140 years to modernize it.
02:54 Why are they insisting on consolidating the IOWs?
03:01 The deadline to consolidate can be stopped, but you should still renew our prank visa or provisional authority.
03:10 For example, you're doing the Tigil Pasada but you're still having talks with the LTFRB to find a solution to the issues that we haven't reached an agreement on.
03:27 You know sir Ivan, that's the purpose of our Tigil Pasada, to give a solution to our problems.
03:35 We should not be answered by saying that we're small and we should be given more poverty,
03:46 which will be said that we will remove our prank visa.
03:56 Camar, what are the activities that we have scheduled and how many drivers or jeeps are expected to be transported from now until Friday to your group?
04:07 Sir Ivan, this morning, at 8 a.m., we are in UP Avenue to prepare for a big caravan to go to Welcome Rotonda and Mindola,
04:25 if necessary. But until Friday, all members of Manibela, non-members of Manibela, have committed to us that they will join us in the Tigil Pasada.
04:41 They will be united to call for the extension of our prank visa and provisional authority.
04:52 As for me sir Ivan, I will not lower the price to P100,000.
04:58 Lastly, your message to the passengers who are worried about the Tigil Pasada.
05:08 The government's free ride that they are planning, we can expect that sir Ivan.
05:17 For now, we are in the same situation. If they are having a hard time, we are having a hard time too.
05:25 We don't want to do this but we need to.
05:32 Good morning sir Ivan. Good morning.
05:38 For now, let's talk about the trip of some of our countrymen.
05:46 Like we saw earlier, even if we say that we will not be paralyzed, there is still a big reduction in the number of jeeps.
05:55 So our countrymen's trip is still affected.
05:57 Excuse me, excuse me. How was your trip today?
06:00 Did you have a hard time in the car?
06:02 No, because there was no traffic.
06:06 So far, there was no traffic but how was the vehicles?
06:09 Normal? Have you been waiting for a long time?
06:12 We have been waiting for a long time because there is no one going to Quiapo.
06:16 So you are waiting for the trip to Quiapo. Be careful.
06:19 Excuse me, excuse me.
06:21 Let's ask some of our countrymen if they will be paralyzed or if this is just a trip.
06:27 Good morning sir. Are you going to Tigil Pasada today?
06:33 I'm not sure because our president will not allow us to go.
06:43 So you will not go?
06:45 No.
06:46 No? Okay, thank you.
06:48 Last time, you did not go to Tigil Pasada?
06:51 I did not travel. It was just the beginning of Monday.
06:54 Oh, you did not travel.
06:57 I'm just going to travel now.
06:58 You're going to travel now. Thank you.
07:00 My countrymen, the situation here is that we do not see any stranded and we still see jeeps traveling.
07:09 Although, they say that they will also go to Tigil Pasada.
07:13 And more latest, from the Commonwealth part of Philcoa, we will return to the studio.
07:19 Thank you, Van. Meanwhile, Vice President Sara Duterte refused to comment on the discussion about her escape from House Speaker Martin Romualdez in Malacanang.
07:29 I did not see it. I did not see it on social media. I will not comment.
07:36 It's like you said it there.
07:38 I did not see anything.
07:44 The escape happened when President Bombon Marcos arrived from America on Monday night.
07:50 Before he returned, the President said that the UNITEAM had nothing to do with it.
07:55 The escape of Duterte and Romualdez began after Duterte was elected as the chairperson of the CMD party of Romualdez.
08:05 Next, the removal of the ally of Duterte as the Senior Deputy Speaker of the Pampanga Representative Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
08:12 The removal of the camera became an issue in the confidential funds of the OVP and Department of Education.
08:20 Also, the impeachment plan against the Vice President.
08:23 The impeachment was initiated by the father of the Vice President, former President Rodrigo Duterte.
08:29 If you do that, I will go back to politics.
08:33 I will run for Senator or I will run for Vice President.
08:36 Whatever the decision of President Duterte, the family will support him.
08:43 Romualdez first denied that he has a plan of impeachment against the Vice President.
08:48 He is still trying to get an explanation about the way Duterte behaved.
09:03 The Water Search and Rescue or WASAR training of the Philippine Coast Guard was suspended due to the death of two trainees.
09:10 We have another issue. We have with us Rear Admiral Armando Balilo, spokesperson of the Philippine Coast Guard.
09:17 Good morning.
09:19 Good morning. Good morning to all of our listeners.
09:23 Please clarify first what happened to Maury Caguay. His mother, as we understand, was hazing him and he was played on the side of the tugboat.
09:37 What is the explanation of the Coast Guard?
09:39 First of all, we are in the family of the former Coast Guard.
09:45 We are saddened because he's with us and we didn't expect this to happen.
09:51 As you know, I understand the feelings of his mother.
09:55 But there is an investigation being done and it's good to clarify it.
10:01 There is an allegation of hazing.
10:05 But I think this is part of the training and some might interpret it as hazing, the hazing and the pressures being exerted.
10:19 Some might interpret it as part of the training.
10:23 But there is no hazing, where they are forced to have body contacts. There is no such thing.
10:31 I heard in the video that you mentioned that Maury was being played on the side of the tugboat before he was thrown into the water and tried to revive him.
10:39 What happened to him that he was floating? Is that part of the training, the floating?
10:47 Yes. There is an evolution that the Philippine Coast Guard is doing.
10:51 Sometimes, they are held and they are really drowning so that they can practice.
10:58 If they are going to rescue him, they know what to do.
11:03 Sometimes, they pretend that they are floating, but they are floating without knowing and I'm looking at how long the breathing is.
11:11 We call it water evolution. It's part of the exercise.
11:16 Sometimes, you might interpret it as a problem.
11:22 But for us, this is just part of the training.
11:25 It's good to see in the investigation if there are gaps in that part.
11:33 Did Maury not have health conditions before he joined the WASAR training?
11:39 So far, there is nothing. Before joining the WASAR training, there are tests that are being done.
11:47 First, medical examination. Second, physical examination. Third, swimming qualification.
11:57 If you can't comply, you cannot continue with the water search and rescue training.
12:03 So the people we saw around, did they notice that Maury is drowning?
12:08 We checked them thoroughly and we made a statement if they noticed.
12:15 As of now, I don't have any holdings on the results of the investigation.
12:20 Aside from Maury Caguay, there is another apprentice in Palawan who died in the WASAR training.
12:28 What information did you get from him?
12:31 He's not yet in the WASAR training. He's still in the swimming qualification test where he had a problem.
12:40 We noticed that during the swimming, he was unresponsive.
12:48 So what are the actions of the PCG?
12:53 Well, in Cavite, they were temporarily placed in a holding unit. They were suspended and they are undergoing investigation.
13:04 That's what we heard.
13:07 We have a strong action to take here in Katarma, Northern Samar.
13:12 How about our Philippine Coast Guard? Will they demoralize or continue their assistance to our countrymen?
13:20 Yes. This was not affected by the incidents in the water search and rescue training.
13:28 Our frontline personnel, especially those who are in the frontmen, special operation force,
13:35 they are all helping in the rescue and evacuation of families trapped in their homes due to the floods in Northern Samar.
13:44 Thank you. In the whole area, is there a severe flood there? Just in Katarma?
13:49 Yes. In Katarma, there's a severe flood in Biri and Northern Katarma in Samar.
13:56 There's also a portion in Eastern Samar where our rescue personnel are still there.
14:01 Did the casualty increase?
14:03 As far as I know, there are two cases, Egan. We have a record. We will check on that today.
14:10 Thank you very much. We are in touch. Rear Admiral Almado Balilo of PCG. Be careful.
14:16 Egan, the weather is still bad in some places in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
14:21 Like in Northern Samar, many families are trapped in Sorsogon due to the heavy floods.
14:27 Here is the first news.
14:29 That's the scene in Ipil-Ipil, Barangay in the town of Katarma, Northern Samar.
14:39 The flood has passed due to the continuous rain.
14:43 Rescue operations are still going on in the whole town to rescue the residents.
14:47 In some barangays, it's hard to rescue because of the strong water.
14:51 The whole province of Northern Samar is now under state of calamity.
14:55 According to the PDRRMO, 24,000 families are trapped due to the floods.
15:01 The town of Bulan in Sorsogon also experienced the flood.
15:06 The barangay officials set up a fence to hold the residents while crossing the river.
15:11 The water also entered the houses and some schools.
15:15 According to the PDRRMO, more than 700 individuals were rescued in the province.
15:20 In five barangays in Tulunan, Cotabato, the sun is bright but it's still raining.
15:28 According to the MDRRMO, the rainwater is flowing in the area where the heavy rains are happening.
15:33 Some houses were flooded.
15:35 The plaza was also flooded. The cemetery was also flooded.
15:38 It's hard for some residents to go home in Kalinan District in Davao City.
15:44 The floodwater is strong on the road.
15:46 Even the vehicles are having a hard time crossing.
15:49 This is the first news.
15:51 Ngui Kuahe for GMA Integrated News.
15:53 Dear friends, have you made a list of what you will prepare for Noche Buena?
15:58 Before you buy, you can check the DTI price guide to have a good budget.
16:03 Live from Marikina Public Market.
16:06 The first news is from Niko Wahe.
16:09 Niko, have you made a list?
16:11 Susan, good morning. I haven't turned around yet.
16:17 But earlier, we saw people buying one by one.
16:23 And Susan, they said that during Christmas, the number of members of the SMP or the Association of Expensive Products increases.
16:32 Most of the Noche Buena products, according to the price guide released by DTI, are more expensive this year.
16:42 So, many of our fellow countrymen, save on preparing for Christmas.
16:48 Every year, Josefina is really busy preparing for Christmas.
16:55 Christmas is once a year, so she's doing it all.
16:58 She usually buys here in Marikina Public Market.
17:02 But when she heard that there are a lot of products that are used for preparing for Noche Buena, she's thinking about it now.
17:09 Maybe less because I can't afford it.
17:14 The ones that I prepared last year, she really bought a lot.
17:22 Now, I really save because the products I buy are really expensive.
17:28 Like pasta, salads.
17:32 Based on the Noche Buena price guide of DTI, more than 150 Noche Buena products are more expensive than in 2022.
17:39 Including some brands of ham and pasta.
17:42 Fruit, cocktail, and cheese, all brands are expensive.
17:46 Most of the mayonnaise and all-purpose cream products are also expensive.
17:50 The store owner, Gina, feels the effect of the price of Noche Buena products.
17:56 Before, cream products and spaghetti were expensive.
18:04 Before, it was expensive.
18:06 But now, it's not that expensive.
18:08 The 10 boxes of mayonnaise she ordered before, she's still running out because there are a lot of products to buy.
18:13 She used to run out of 30 boxes of mayonnaise.
18:16 Now, she's running out of 2 and a half boxes.
18:20 In this life, the salary of the people is not increasing, but the price is increasing.
18:26 Susan, DTI released a complete list of Noche Buena products' price guide.
18:39 DTI is also advising consumers to compare prices before buying.
18:46 It's also advised to check the labels of the products and avoid buying expensive products.
18:53 Live from Marquina City, I'm Nico Aje.
18:56 For JMA Integrated News.
18:58 The National Security Council did not support the plan of a group that gave birth to the BRP Sierra Madre in the United States.
19:07 The BRP Sierra Madre in Ayungin Shoal was launched last month.
19:10 The coalition launched a donation drive for frontliners and fishermen in Ayungin Shoal.
19:18 But according to Assistant Director General and NSC spokesman Jonathan Malaya,
19:23 even if the goal is good, it's possible to increase the tensions in Ayungin Shoal.
19:27 The NSC is asking for the Christmas Convoy to head to Calayaan Island Group or to head to Pag-asa Island and Rizal Reef.
19:35 The NSC also added that the Christmas Convoy can be turned over to the Philippine Navy and Philippine Coast Guard
19:41 that wants to reach those who are guarding the BRP Sierra Madre.
19:45 Day three of the group's stoppage of the Pistons.
19:54 They gathered in Menjola this morning.
19:57 Live from Manila, we have the first news of Darlene Kaye.
20:01 Darlene.
20:04 The transport strike of the Pistons has ended today, but the worries of many drivers are not yet over.
20:11 They are already looking for a way to make a living.
20:13 The jeepney driver we talked to said that he can't go here because his family won't be able to eat.
20:19 It's been a few days since Jenny has been struggling to get a job.
20:26 She's been waiting for this so she left the house earlier.
20:29 It's a bit difficult because like this, many people are coming to work early.
20:37 Sometimes we're fighting. We're fighting with the jeepney.
20:41 Yes, we're really running.
20:43 It's the third day of the transport strike of the Pistons.
20:47 This is a protest in the government's PUV modernization program.
20:51 Carlito is one of those who joined the strike.
20:54 But he can't stop the strike for three days because his family won't be able to eat.
21:00 We'll be able to eat. We just need to start early so that my fellow Pistons won't be able to tell me.
21:08 But I'll be home at 7.
21:11 Even so, he still supports his fellow drivers.
21:17 I'm disappointed with what they're doing because they don't have friends anymore.
21:21 They're looking for a job for people like us, drivers.
21:24 We're even facing out.
21:26 What can we do? There are so many abroad.
21:30 We can't give our government a job.
21:38 That's also what Edgardo is saying.
21:40 He's not a member of the cooperative and he won't be able to fall for the modern jeep.
21:45 I talked to him. I told him not to do it because there are a lot of people who will do it.
21:49 It's hard. You should look for a job.
21:53 They're not just going to let you in.
21:56 You should look for a job.
21:58 There are a lot of fish in the sea.
22:00 You're in the air-conditioned car.
22:02 Are you going to let the fish eat?
22:04 He's also supporting his fellow drivers.
22:06 But he needs to go to work today.
22:09 If not, his family won't be able to eat.
22:12 The main request of Piston and other transport groups is to trash the December 31 deadline
22:18 for the application for consolidation.
22:21 They also want to give 5 years of franchise to the members
22:24 and allow the rehabilitation of the jeepneys
22:26 instead of requiring them to buy new vehicles.
22:30 The LTFRB said that the December 31 deadline is no longer valid.
22:35 But they're ready to trash the application for consolidation.
22:38 They're ready to talk to the transport groups about their other requests.
22:42 This is the end of the strike of Piston Group
22:50 since the group of Mana Manibela stopped working.
22:53 Meanwhile, here in Menyola, we haven't seen anyone
22:56 except the police officers.
22:58 But later, we expect that some groups of jeepney drivers will gather here.
23:04 That's the first news in Manila. I'm Darlene Cai for GMA Integrated News.
