00:28 This video is now viral of the confrontation of drivers of a truck and SUV on C5 Road in Taguig.
00:35 He's still blaming me. He's the one who's in the middle, he's not in the area.
00:41 I'm the one who's in the middle. I'm trying to avoid it.
00:44 The SUV driver stopped in the middle of the road and forced the driver to get his license.
00:51 Sir, I'm not making a mistake.
00:53 No, sir.
00:54 Give me your license.
00:56 I'm in the area. I'm trying to avoid you.
00:59 Give me your license.
01:01 He's really angry.
01:02 I'll check your license.
01:03 According to the truck driver, aside from driving on the side of the road,
01:06 the SUV driver is also forcing him to get his license.
01:09 I'll check your red eyes. You're on drugs. I have drivers there.
01:13 If you take a picture of me there, you're the one who's not on the line.
01:16 You'll kill my family. You're a f*****.
01:19 After asking for his license several times, the truck driver refused to give it to him.
01:25 I'm talking to you.
01:26 Let's wait.
01:27 The video recording was paused.
01:30 But according to the truck driver, the SUV driver told him something.
01:34 The victim was blathering about that incident.
01:38 He said that he introduced himself as a police officer and said that he will take his gun and shoot him.
01:46 And he said that he knows where he lives.
01:49 The PNP looked at their database but the police did not register the owner of the SUV in the video.
01:56 We just need to identify the victim's background, file, threat and even use of facial authority.
02:03 The PNP said that whether he's a police officer or not, the SUV driver did the wrong thing.
02:09 The PNP said that not everyone can get a driver's license.
02:14 Only the LTO enforcers, traffic enforcers and deputized police officers are authorized.
02:21 The Land Transportation Office called for the driver's license of the SUV driver and the registration of his vehicle.
02:30 The agency is also investigating the possible violations of the SUV driver.
02:35 We are still trying to talk to the driver of the SUV.
02:38 The PNP also asked for a statement.
02:41 For GMA Integrated News, June Veneracion, your Saksi.
02:45 Sugar Regulatory Administration, SRA, is pushing to raise the suggested retail price or SRP for sugar,
02:55 which is reaching more than P100 per kilo in the family.
02:58 Saksi, this is Bernadette Reyes.
03:05 This Christmas, the Pinoys' diet is expected to be sweeter,
03:10 from the bingka and puto bumbong they wait for every Christmas Eve,
03:15 to the sweet snacks like Noche Buena.
03:20 The demand for breakfasts like cake, leche flan and rice cakes is increasing.
03:29 The main ingredient of those is sugar.
03:32 The farm gate price of sugar is expected to drop by P10.
03:37 But when it comes to some markets and supermarkets,
03:40 the price is still low, reaching P100 per kilo or more.
03:46 Marites is still having a hard time pricing her store's rice cakes.
03:51 When the sugar price rises, we will increase it by P20.
03:55 That's why the Sugar Regulatory Administration wants to raise the suggested retail price.
04:01 We've been pushing for an P85 SRP.
04:04 The only hang-up I know is how will it be enforced.
04:09 So what others are saying is that SRP is only suggested.
04:13 So what do we do if it's not being enforced?
04:16 In case it's implemented, the Department of Food and Industry is ready to monitor if it's implemented.
04:22 Even if the retail price is suggested, there's still a chance that we will implement it
04:28 because all of the manufacturers and retailers,
04:32 those are the prices in the market that they suggested.
04:37 Some retailers are in favor.
04:39 So that the buyers won't be confused.
04:42 For GMA Integrated News, Bernadette Reyes is your witness.
04:46 It's possible that the confidential funds of some government agencies
04:53 that were released in the budget for the next year will not be returned.
04:56 Including the confidential funds released by the DepEd and the Office of the Vice President.
05:01 Witness, Mahab Gonzales.
05:03 The confidential funds of the civilian agencies released by the Camera in this version of the 2024 National Budget,
05:13 will it be returned?
05:14 Now that it's being discussed by the Senate and the Senate's version in the Bicameral Conference?
05:18 I don't think so.
05:20 What we've discussed is DICT, to fight cyber for increased cyber security.
05:24 DICT is trying to appeal for at least a portion of their confidential funds.
05:30 Aside from the issue of confidential funds,
05:32 the Department of Information and Communications Technology was supported by some senators.
05:37 DICT is needed because it's fighting now in cyber warfare.
05:41 Many will be victims of cyber crimes.
05:44 Senators were also asked if the confidential funds of the Office of the Vice President
05:50 and the Department of Education will be returned.
05:52 We fight for gun costs.
05:57 The old confidential funds of DepEd were used for other needs of students.
06:02 It was put in classrooms or other capital outlay.
06:06 Until now, classrooms are still not enough.
06:08 The confidential and intelligence funds of other civilian agencies
06:12 are said to be given to intelligence and security agencies.
06:16 Defense, law enforcement agencies and DOJ to buy information.
06:23 Our armed forces and coast guard because of the West Philippine Sea issue,
06:28 we have to beef up and strengthen our naval assets as well.
06:33 The Camera will study if the final version of the budget will include the provision put by the Senate
06:39 so that the transfer of P125 million from the contingent fund of the President to the confidential funds of the OVP in 2022 will not be repeated.
06:49 The release from the contingent fund to confidential funds for civilian agencies cannot be realigned or transferred.
07:01 For now, Senator Sonny Angara and Congressman Zaldy Co were authorized by both parties
07:06 to discuss the final version of the budget,
07:10 including the so-called...
07:12 Social services, we want to fight the inflation,
07:16 the inflation in rice, in social services,
07:21 so that the problem of war or inflation will be added later.
07:28 We need to be prepared.
07:30 The government will also look into the possibility of including P31 billion for the rehabilitation of the traditional jeepneys requested by the Gabriela Women's Party List.
07:38 The President's target is to sign the 2024 national budget before his trip to Japan on December 16.
07:44 For GMA Integrated News, I'm Mav Gonzalez, your Saksi.
07:48 The Smartmatics of the Supreme Court can question the decision of the Common Act to disqualify them from any bidding of the Commission.
07:57 According to the Smartmatic, they were not given the opportunity to defend themselves.
08:03 The Comelec's response to the testimony of Sandra Aguinaldo.
08:06 The result of the previous elections has nothing to do with the disqualification of the Commission on Elections or Comelec in the Smartmatic for any bidding.
08:19 They will clarify that after the decision was released yesterday that they will use their administrative function to ensure that the next elections will be clean.
08:29 We disqualified Smartmatic because we wanted to preserve the integrity of the electoral process.
08:34 There's no issue as to the accuracy of the results.
08:37 And the Comelec cannot close its eyes to the reality that there are several issues pertaining to the integrity and credibility of this company.
08:48 In a statement, Smartmatic said that the reason for the disqualification of Comelec is that it did not follow the complaint filed by the group of the former DICT chief Eliseo Rios Jr.
09:01 But Comelec said that Rios mentioned in one of his petitions the accusation of receiving bribe from Smartmatic, the former Comelec chairman Juan Andres Bautista.
09:11 That's why he has a case that was filed in America, like money laundering and others.
09:16 This is the reason for the decision.
09:19 Comelec also countered the allegation of Smartmatic that they were not explained the issue and the due process was not given.
09:26 Comelec even heared it. Not only did they hear it, they even filed a memorandum.
09:32 As far as the Comelec is concerned, again we avoided everyone, petitioner and respondent, the opportunity to be heard.
09:40 We are trying to get Bautista's statement, but he refused to accept or ask for bribe from Smartmatic.
09:48 Comelec did not decision the point of Rios' complaint that it did not follow Smartmatic's minimum system capabilities that resulted in a serious irregularity in the 2022 elections.
10:03 We applaud their decision of perpetual disqualification of Smartmatic.
10:11 But they based it on the long-term election issue, 2016.
10:21 They did not look at the irregularities of the 2022 elections.
10:29 The votes were proven to be clean and fair in the random manual audit and recount of ballots.
10:37 But Comelec agreed to the recount of some ballots, physical man or ballot image, if they want.
10:43 According to Comelec, Smartmatic can still question their decision in the Supreme Court.
10:49 The deadline for submitting bid documents to Comelec is December 12, 2021, for the interested suppliers of software and hardware that will be used in the next election.
11:00 For GMA Integrated News, Sandra Aguinaldo is your witness.
11:05 Another milestone for the pop icon, Taylor Swift.
11:14 And the upcoming project of Miss Universe Philippines 2023, Michelle D. in her return to the country.
11:21 Our witness.
11:22 Miss Universe Philippines Michelle D. is still on cloud nine after the Miss Universe pageant in El Salvador.
11:31 In her homecoming media conference earlier in Kapuso Network, the beauty queen is still all smiles in the other jet lag.
11:38 I'm still so overwhelmed. I'm still on cloud nine to be able to win the hearts of so many Filipinos through hard work and dedication.
11:47 Even though MFT did not win the crown, she got the support of her fellow beauty queens.
11:54 I'm glad that I received it from her.
11:57 She really deserves it because everyone saw that she really prepared, she really poured her effort.
12:06 It's a win in itself. She really pushed our culture and aspect of our culture.
12:11 And on MMD's return, she will also be competing in Black Rider.
12:17 She said that she is very excited for the role because she will be able to ride a motorcycle again, one of her fave hobbies.
12:25 Taylor is bejeweled. The international superstar has a new achievement after removing Most Screamed Global Artist on Spotify.
12:34 In one post, the pop singer thanked her Swifties fans and this is the best birthday and holiday gift she received.
12:44 In return, she released in all music platforms her song "You're Losing Me" which was most requested by fans back then.
12:53 For GMA Integrated News, Obri Carampel is your witness.
12:58 [music]
13:05 Turon and banana cubacamo.
13:08 There are many dishes that can be made from just one banana fruit.
13:12 The fruit of the fruit tree in Palawan weighed more than 2 kilos.
13:17 And the witness is Sandra Aguinaldo.
13:19 [music]
13:24 As the famous joke goes, "Better yet, a banana has a heart."
13:29 So how about a heart of a banana fruit?
13:33 Not just a banana, but a banana.
13:37 [music]
13:41 The fruit of Pearl C. Xiong's farm in Brooks Point, Palawan.
13:45 It is more than 15 inches long.
13:48 It is longer than a ruler and footlong hotdog.
13:53 And it weighs only 2 1/4 kilos.
13:57 I planted this almost a year or more than a year.
14:03 So this is the first fruit.
14:05 And I was surprised that it is so big compared to ordinary banana.
14:11 The babies of my big banana.
14:15 This type of banana is known as "tandok" in Palawan.
14:19 Pearl had already bought a big fruit before, but her mother's weight was too much.
14:26 I don't know how to cook this.
14:29 Maybe it can be fried.
14:31 It cannot be boiled because it is too big.
14:33 [music]
14:36 This is also not the first time that a giant banana has been planted.
14:40 There was also a giant plantain in Asingan, Pangasinan.
14:45 While in Mauban, Quezon, there is a banana tree that is almost as tall as a human.
14:51 For Pearl, blessing and good vibes are not only the fruit, but also the care of her plants.
15:01 Planting is a big thing for a person.
15:08 It relieves stress.
15:10 It is happy when you see fruits and flowers.
15:15 It is a relief.
15:19 [music]
15:21 For GMA Integrated News, Sandra Aguinaldo is your witness.
