00:18 Good evening, Polozon, Visayas and Mindanao.

00:22 70% of the electricity supply will not be returned to Western Visayas, according to the Energy Department.

00:30 Aside from residents and businesses, hospitals are also facing problems.

00:34 Equipment is being damaged.

00:36 Zhen Kilanta of GMA Regional TV 1 Western Visayas was live.

00:43 Zen?

00:47 The lack of electricity supply here in Panay Island has been going on for three days.

00:52 So, it's up to the various sectors to make sure that the power supply here in Panay Island will be restored.

01:02 These senior citizens went out to their houses in Iloilo City.

01:11 They say that the heat inside their houses is unbearable amidst the wide power outage in Panay Island.

01:17 We are old people, we are old people.

01:20 Of course, we are not hot.

01:23 If you don't have a coat, you're high blood.

01:26 Businesses are also affected.

01:29 The daily losses in the city are up to half a million pesos.

01:34 Everybody is in pain.

01:36 We should be in the city, in our province.

01:40 Hospitals are also being added to their expenses due to the need to use generators.

01:46 But the management of a hospital in Pavia is more concerned about the possible damage to hospital equipment.

01:53 We have patients who need to be secured.

01:57 Our generator consumption is all the way down.

02:02 We will pay almost P40,000 in two days.

02:07 In Dumangas, Iloilo, more people are going to hospitals with asthma because the nebulizer in their houses is not being used.

02:14 They should be given some extensions.

02:17 It's better if they are given some nebulizers.

02:21 It's better.

02:23 If someone is in the ER, they can pull out and give it to another patient.

02:29 Unlike other places, Rojas Memorial Provincial in Capiz is not a problem anymore.

02:34 The electricity supply is back.

02:37 There is also electricity in Buracay, particularly in the barangay of Manok-Manok, Balabag and Yapac.

02:44 But the generators of tourism establishments are still ready.

02:48 They are being called to prioritize the manual supply of electricity.

02:53 It's a way to save money.

02:55 There are other jobs in our tourism enterprises.

03:01 Outside of Panay, there is also a problem.

03:04 The electricity in Silay Negros Occidental is still fluctuating,

03:07 which is why some businessmen are worried that their appliances and stores will be damaged.

03:12 The product is not working.

03:16 We are using it.

03:18 Even the process is not working.

03:22 It's better if it's not working.

03:26 We will lower the cost of our customers.

03:29 The grid is a problem.

03:32 The transmission line of NGCP, especially in the early hours,

03:37 the frequency of the voltage in the line is low.

03:42 That creates a problem in the transmission line.

03:46 According to the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines or NGCP,

03:50 the grid needs 300 megawatts to stabilize the supply.

03:55 But the PAM Conception Power Corporation is waiting for 135 megawatts of load capacity.

04:02 I have a guess, it's 238 megawatts.

04:07 213 megawatts of this comes from the power plant in Panay.

04:13 I went online and there are nine of them.

04:16 Hopefully, if the last remaining big base load power plant, PCPC, can return,

04:25 hopefully, it will slowly go back to normal again.

04:30 The additional load from the PAM Conception Power Corporation will be a target for the grid later tonight.

04:41 But according to NGCP, there is no guarantee that it will be successful.

04:46 Mel?

04:47 Thank you very much, Zen Kilantang of GMA Regional TV 1 Western Visayas.

04:53 The authorities are daily cleaning and arranging the route of the black Nazareno.

05:02 This is to save the victims and no one will be harmed, like in 2006 when a massacre took place.

05:09 Oscar Oida was there.

05:11 In the middle of the sea of devotees in the translation in 2006,

05:19 a man fell into a hole covered with wood.

05:27 He was followed by other devotees who followed the stampede.

05:36 [crowd shouting]

05:38 This is a bad incident that Manila City Hall wanted to avoid.

05:47 That is why the road was paved yesterday around the translation.

05:54 If you fell there, you might have been passed by a lot of people.

06:00 You won't be able to get up. You might be trampled by other devotees.

06:07 The arrangement started on December 2,

06:10 along with the broken benches and drainage, and the trees that will pass by.

06:16 We are trimming it so that the route of our translation will be good.

06:22 The illegal parades and other illegal acts were committed by the MMDA

06:28 and Manila Traffic and Parking Bureau.

06:30 To make sure that our beloved pond will pass without any obstruction.

06:36 E-trike and tricycle were caught illegally parading.

06:40 This is a life-threatening situation. This should not be paraded.

06:44 I'm from the CR. I can't do it anymore.

06:48 I'll just do it for a while.

06:50 I'm not done yet.

06:52 I'm not done yet.

06:54 Where are you?

06:55 Unattended. Pesos P2,000 if the driver is P1,000.

07:00 The towing fees is separate.

07:03 Cars were also parked in the area around Viejo.

07:07 And the AUVs and buses were stopped waiting for passengers on Recto Avenue.

07:13 The people who are walking around were also not absent.

07:16 The benches were trampled in Arlegui.

07:19 They said that they will clean it. We already removed three buses from here.

07:23 In Zipi de Guzman, where the owner was forced to clean the benches.

07:29 We already removed it.

07:31 What's the point of living like that?

07:34 You can do whatever you want.

07:37 But the benches were trampled in the nearby store and were constantly trampled by enforcers.

07:44 The clearing operation is daily until the translation.

07:48 I hope that our citizens and establishments in these areas will unite

07:55 to ensure that our beloved town will have a good and spacious translation of Nazareno.

08:02 For GM Integrated News, Oscar Oida, 24 Hours.

08:07 Not only did the price of canned goods, noodles and milk increase,

08:12 which is expected to be heavy in the country this 2024.

08:15 Even now, the price of rice is already high, which is possible to be followed by another group.

08:21 Bernadette Reyes is on the scene.

08:23 After the successive expenses of the holiday season,

08:30 there is an additional expense when the new year just started.

08:34 The well-milled rice increased by 2 pesos per kilo imported from the local market

08:39 according to the Samaang Industrial Agriculture.

08:42 According to the Department of Agriculture, the price of well-milled rice in Metro Manila is between 40 and 55 pesos.

08:51 According to the CINAG, it may increase by 2 pesos in the next two weeks

08:57 because the price in the world market is still high, where the Philippines is getting additional supply.

09:04 It's around 620 dollars per metric ton because of your LN.

09:14 There is an imported rice, but the problem is that the price is still high in the international market.

09:21 So we cannot expect that the price will really go down.

09:26 So hopefully, what we can get from other sources is a low price.

09:31 For now, we need to secure the supply.

09:34 We know that LN will also be available, so there will be additional challenge in our level of productivity.

09:41 Canned sardines, canned meat, instant noodles, milk, coffee, bottled water, salt, and sauces are getting more expensive.

09:51 Depending on the product and weight, the price of some manufacturers is around 25 centavos to more than 7 pesos.

10:00 There is also a high price for Pinoy tasty and Pinoy pandesal, including candles, batteries, and soap.

10:07 According to DTI, in 2023, the manufacturers filed a high price, but they are talking about excluding it.

10:16 At present, DTI is negotiating with manufacturers on how to earn in the middle.

10:25 Now in 2024, manufacturers will not be able to stop it because they will be affected by the work.

10:34 I will try to solve it, but they say that the high price is heavy for those who will buy and small businesses.

10:41 My husband and I are looking for a job.

10:44 We will only remove the things that should not be spent.

10:50 We will add a little because the price of the products will increase.

10:55 According to the Department of Trade and Industries, out of more than 200 products on the list of basic necessities and prime commodities,

11:02 only 63 are asking for price adjustment.

11:06 Not all will be approved in the bull, all of them this January.

11:10 The first to file, of course, are those who filed in 2022 and early 2023.

11:20 I hope our consumers will not worry because DTI is also thinking about the pacing and the timing to roll out the approvals.

11:32 For GMA Integrated News, Bernadette Reyes, Katootok, 24 Hours.

11:39 No basis for some commuter groups to worry that the jeepney massager will be cut.

11:45 The jeepney modernization is already at its peak according to the Department of Transportation.

11:51 This is in line with what a commuter group said that the jeepney massager could reach up to Php 50

11:58 to compensate the operators for the expenses of the jeepney modernization.

12:03 According to the DOTR, there is no high-speed vehicle that did not pass the LTFRB process.

12:10 That's why we are giving a reminder to our commuters that those who are hearing that there will be a 300 to 400 percent increase,

12:24 there is no basis for them to worry and we do not expect such a high pace in our consolidation and PUV modernization program.

12:33 Because of the heavy traffic in Baguio, their city hall is now using AI or Artificial Intelligence against criminals.

12:44 The MMDA and a tech expert in the field of Maki Pulido will also be working in Metro Manila.

12:53 If you are a tourist in Baguio, you will not only experience a cold climate, but also white-haired traffic.

13:00 That's why Baguio City Hall will spend Php 3 billion for the Artificial Intelligence or AI Traffic Management System.

13:07 For example, instead of a timer, the AI will read the traffic volume to know if the green light is still on or not.

13:14 The officers will just bring the traffic violation ticket to the house, not only traffic but also crime.

13:19 For example, if you are looking for a snatcher, because there is a facial recognition software,

13:23 you will be able to know the AI based on the personal information that you have collected since the pandemic.

13:28 AI-powered cameras and systems will be used to gather data on a daily basis and at the same time generate the right analytics.

13:38 The MMDA's direction is also AI. 90 percent of the installation of CCTV cameras in the bus carousel is already completed.

13:45 The bus carousel is also being caught, but the No Contact Apprehension is not yet implemented because the Supreme Court has a temporary restraining order.

13:53 Sometimes, the buses will get off. There is a signal that if they have reached their time limit,

14:02 there is a signal and if they do not leave despite the signal, they will also issue a ticket.

14:09 The MMDA's dream is not yet budgeted. Real-time volume count to warn motorists if they need to use other routes like lively lanes.

14:18 They will link it to apps like Waze and Google Maps.

14:22 They are relying on the users to report if there is a collision or if the cars are running slowly.

14:32 This is being analyzed in real time.

14:34 Traffic management is now using AI around the world, according to IT expert Art Samaniego.

14:40 One of the challenges here, like the implementation of No Contact Apprehension in the Philippines, is the Data Privacy Act and fast internet connection.

14:49 For example, if there is a collision, you will be rerouted and warned that something happened here.

14:55 But you will receive that only if you have high-speed internet because it's real-time.

14:59 But it cannot be relied on, only on AI technology.

15:03 In the case of too many cars, AI will be confused.

15:06 To make this effective, we should also fix our roads.

15:10 Not only technology, but also physical, not just virtual.

15:16 For GMA Integrated News, Mackie Pulido, for Tutok 24 Horas.

15:21 The President promised Senator Bato de la Rosa that there will be no ICC or International Criminal Court

15:30 that will enter the country to investigate the Duterte Drug War.

15:35 In the midst of the chaos, they are now here.

15:39 Salima Refran and Mav Gonzalez are here.

15:43 Solid as a rock, that's what he told me.

15:48 There will be no ICC that will enter here.

15:51 President Bongbong Marcos himself told Senator Bato de la Rosa

15:56 that he is not afraid of the chaos that the people of the International Criminal Court or ICC are already in the Philippines

16:03 to investigate the Duterte Drug War.

16:06 The President said that the senators will be able to meet him in Malacanang on November 28.

16:12 That's why I can say that if it's true that they have already entered,

16:16 and if indeed their entry is sanctioned by this government,

16:23 authorized by this government, that's why I can say that this government will fight back.

16:30 We asked for reaction from Malacanang to what de la Rosa said.

16:34 Even though the President said in November that he is studying if the Philippines will return to the ICC,

16:40 this is what he said in the drug war investigation of the ICC.

16:43 It's not right that the outside world will tell us who will be investigated.

16:52 We have the police, we have the NBI, we have the DOJ.

16:56 They can work on that. And that's really where the conflict is.

17:00 De la Rosa admitted that he has no personal information to confirm

17:04 to the Duterte administration official who is already in the Philippines

17:09 that the ICC will allow several people to investigate.

17:13 As the PNP chief who carried out the war on drugs,

17:15 he has no plan to hide if the government allows the ICC probe.

17:19 He also doesn't want to be trusted by Senate Minority Leader Coco Pimentel

17:23 because if it's true, the Executive should feel it,

17:26 like the Justice Department or the Commission on Human Rights.

17:29 It's impossible that they won't feel it if they are doing an honest to goodness investigation.

17:37 If there's no such thing, it looks like they're not here yet.

17:41 Although I personally find nothing objectionable if they're already here.

17:45 Whatever it is, the entry of people of the ICC into the Philippines is being blocked

17:51 by a lawyer and concerned citizen who filed a petition for preliminary injunction

17:56 in the Calbayog RTC in Samar.

17:58 He said that the investigation is just a hypocrisy and international meddling,

18:03 especially since the Philippines has long been a part of the Rome Statute.

18:07 The country has no legal duty or obligation to the ICC.

18:11 The Justice Secretary said before that the ICC should first ask for their permission

18:18 before investigating the country.

18:20 They have not made contact with the DOJ.

18:22 It is their responsibility and duty to make contact with the DOJ

18:26 in accordance with the principles of international law.

18:29 But if the Philippines has ever entered the ICC...

18:34 That's just like research. Research is just research.

18:38 But for it to be used in a legal process, then we cannot do that.

18:41 If there's something happening, it's not a formal thing.

18:44 According to Solicitor General Menardo Guevara,

18:46 the ICC may investigate those who do not go to the Philippines,

18:51 especially if they have help and support from local groups.

18:55 The Bureau of Immigration has information that the ICC is already in the country.

19:00 But the country is arguing that the Philippines has no obligation to help the ICC investigator.

19:07 For JMA Integrated News, Sarima Refrain.

19:10 And I am Mav Gonzalez.

19:12 We are here 24/7.

19:14 In our hectic times, the majority of the country is clear tomorrow.

19:24 But there are still places that will experience rain.

19:27 The cold and hot Easterly continues to be a hot topic and is affecting the country.

19:33 Based on the data of Metro Weather, there is still a heavy rain in Cagayan and Isabela,

19:38 as well as in Quezon, Mindoro Provinces, Palawan and Bicol Region.

19:41 It is still possible that there will be heavy rain in some places,

19:44 so be alert in the event of a flood or landslide in Metro Manila.

19:47 The chance of rain is low, but do not forget to monitor the rainfall of thunderstorm advisories in Pagasa.

19:53 It is also possible that it will rain in Visayas tomorrow morning.

19:57 But by the end of the day, there will be rain in Samar and later provinces,

20:01 Panay Island and some parts of Negros Occidental and Bohol.

20:04 It is also possible that some parts of Windanao will be flooded, especially in the afternoon.

20:08 It is expected in Sulu, Arquipelago, Soxargen and Davao Region.

20:12 Meanwhile, in small fishing boats or small sea vehicles,

20:15 it will be dangerous to sail in the northern Luzon.

20:21 [music]

20:26 At the same time of the start of 2024,

20:28 the cast of the hit afternoon series, "Abot Kamay na Pangarap" will be re-taping.

20:33 What other scenes should we look forward to this year?

20:37 Let's talk to Tati Bayan.

20:39 Since the start of 2024, the cast of "Abot Kamay na Pangarap"

20:47 will be re-taping the scenes of "Abot Kamay na Pangarap" in their sets.

20:51 As a part of the "Not yet to be seen" series,

20:53 the cast of the scenes that were taken by Gillian Ward, Ken Chan, Richard Yap and Carmina Villanueva

20:59 will be in Japan for a while.

21:01 It is not the time that we are not together with mom Lynette in the scenes.

21:07 So we are able to recover from each other in Japan.

21:10 So that is my favorite part.

21:13 Of course, something happened in Japan that is really surprising.

21:17 Aside from that, the new cast of the top-rating series should also be watched

21:22 in the center of the story of Giselle's life, played by Dina Bonnevie,

21:26 and her journey on the cruise where she got to know Justin and Eric,

21:31 played by Clea Pineda and Tonton Gutierrez.

21:34 In fulfilling Pepe's dreams, his father's dreams were destroyed.

21:41 Dina was even intimidated by Clea.

21:45 I said, "How did I have a son who is that big?"

21:49 I said, "He's so tall."

21:51 "He's so annoying. He's a jerk."

21:53 Because that's always my role.

21:55 Always a strong woman, feisty, and a fighter.

21:59 That's what I felt about Clea.

22:02 I don't want to approach her because she might be annoying.

22:07 Miss D is intimidating, but once you get to know her,

22:11 it's nice to talk to her.

22:13 And Miss D is so kind.

22:15 A lot of fights.

22:16 A lot of fights.

22:17 Will Annalyn be a good friend of Justin, played by Jillian?

22:22 Or will the father make the Taniag family suffer?

22:26 And what will happen to Moira?

22:29 Don't worry, my friends.

22:32 The evil will soon be punished.

22:37 "Katatibayan" updated on "Showbiz Happenings."

22:40 If we're just talking about show of force, this is it.

22:47 An aircraft carrier, warships, and fighter planes were brought by the US

22:52 on the last day of the RPUS Joint Maritime Patrol in the West Philippine Sea.

22:56 This is the Carrier Strike Group 1 of the US Navy.

22:59 The USS Carl Vinson, an aircraft carrier, is anchored.

23:03 The Carrier Strike Group 1 performed a patrol exercise

23:06 in the activity area in the West Philippine Sea.

23:09 It also showed the fast flight and landing of 16 aircraft.

23:14 The US Aircraft Carrier just deployed

23:17 in the Joint Maritime Patrol in the West Philippine Sea.

23:19 And in a rare opportunity,

23:21 the air assets of the Armed Forces of the Philippines

23:24 were allowed to land in a US aircraft carrier.

23:27 China called it provocative

23:29 or "pushing the limits" of the US and Philippines' deals

23:32 in the occupied territory.

23:34 China also accompanied its own routine patrol in the South China Sea.

23:39 All of their troops remained alert

23:42 in safeguarding national security and maritime rights.

23:45 Yesterday, the Chinese warships were spotted not far from the Philippine Navy ships.

23:51 The BRP Ramon Alcaraz challenged several times,

23:54 but China's warships did not respond.

23:57 Mel, we are now driving one of the Philippine Navy warships,

24:06 the BRP Ramon Alcaraz.

24:08 It is one of the assets of the Armed Forces of the Philippines

24:12 that is part of the Joint Maritime Patrol.

24:15 Many things have changed, Mel,

24:17 in the original plans of the Joint Patrols,

24:20 but in the end, the AFP said,

24:23 their mission was successful.

24:26 Let's go back, Mel.

24:27 Thank you very much, Jun Veneracion.

24:30 Their families have already talked to the 17 Philippine crews

24:35 that were hijacked by the cargo ship of the group called "Kamakailan".

24:39 The Department of Migrant Workers said,

24:42 while confirming that they are safe,

24:45 the Government and the Department of Foreign Affairs will continue to negotiate

24:49 to save the crew members and to return them home.

24:54 In November of 2023, the MV Galaxy leader was hijacked by the group called "Kuti"

25:00 The President declared January 9 as a special non-working day in Manila

25:09 to mark the completion of the Black Nazarene Feast.

25:13 Five nights of sleep before the long-awaited translation.

25:17 The appearance of the new road was already seen,

25:20 which was made to protect the image of the Black Nazarene for more than 400 years.

25:26 Maris Umal was there.

25:27 In the middle of the sea of thousands of devotees,

25:33 the image of the Black Nazarene is being displayed in the middle of the translation.

25:38 Usually, the devotees are the first ones to go and take a seat on the road

25:43 to be able to eat their food in the meal.

25:45 But for the first time, it will be placed inside a laminated tempered glass case

25:51 to protect the image of the Black Nazarene for more than 400 years

25:55 and to stop the worshippers of the road.

25:58 It is also in line with the theme this year,

26:00 that we love to see Jesus,

26:02 so that it will be easier to show the Black Nazarene.

26:05 20 dogs will be watching the surroundings of the road.

26:08 It is not a part of the devotion that we will fulfill.

26:11 Like what I told to Mayor, before, the story of the dogs,

26:16 the one that is watching is pulling down the devotees

26:20 because they don't want to watch the dogs because it might be destroyed.

26:25 Every time the feast is over, the smell of our image is not good.

26:32 It is wet with water, it is wet with sweat,

26:35 and sometimes there are food that fell on the surroundings.

26:40 They say that the cloth can still be used to wipe,

26:42 but the glass or the part of the cross that is outside the glass can be wiped.

26:47 The capacity of the Nazarene should serve as a shield,

26:52 not as a shield to be hurt or to be burdened.

26:56 We pray and we will strive that we will not be counted in this event

27:03 that was burned, hurt, killed or damaged because of the destruction.

27:10 Although it is not bulletproof,

27:12 the committee assures that the glass will be strong enough to be used for the funeral.

27:16 The leadership of the Church and the Local Government of Manila

27:21 will make the entire destruction of the Black Nazarene Feast holy, safe and proper.

27:27 The PNP went around and inspected the routes of the procession.

27:31 So far, we have not monitored the threat, but we are not keeping our guards down.

27:37 We will keep on monitoring.

27:39 On the day of the procession, the No-Fly and No-Sail Zone will be implemented,

27:44 including guns, liquor and fireworks ban.

27:47 Many things are prohibited, such as ball caps and umbrellas.

27:50 If there is a bag, it should be transparent.

27:53 On the day of the procession, including the luneta and around the Chiapas Church,

27:57 the tent should not be set up, picnic mats should be brought,

28:01 overnight and the ambulance should be provided.

28:04 The Chiapas Church also asked that the whole replica should not be brought to the procession.

28:09 The replica was taken out of Plaza Miranda from 1 am to 5 pm.

28:15 The authorities also reminded that if there is an illness,

28:18 it should not be brought to the procession.

28:20 As much as possible, wear a mask and social distancing in the procession or mass in the Chiapas Church.

28:26 The number of COVID-19 cases is increasing,

28:31 although it is controlled.

28:33 Even here in the city of Manila, the number of positive cases is not that high.

28:38 But to avoid any kind of surge,

28:44 we are calling on our fellow countrymen,

28:48 if we really want our Translation 24 to continue,

28:56 I hope you will cooperate with us.

28:59 For GMA Integrated News, Maris Umali, for 24 Hours.

29:03 My fellow countrymen, the drawings of the four long weekends are ready to be drawn.

29:12 This is Ivan Mayrina.

29:17 As the new year begins, one of the early plans of Zenayda, a daycare teacher, is her travel goals.

29:23 She has been saving for a long time for their trip to Barcada,

29:26 like her vacation with her co-workers in Cebu.

29:29 To make it worth it, they are planning this as a long weekend.

29:32 To be stress-free, or to have a bonding with my fellow countrymen.

29:39 Now, 2024, there are four long weekends waiting.

29:43 First, the Holy Week of March 28 to 31.

29:46 Next is the National Heroes Day weekend of August 24 to 26.

29:51 Then, the UNDAS weekend of November 1 to 3.

29:53 And the New Year weekend of December 28 to 31.

29:57 Long holidays are okay in the Employers' Confederation of the Philippines,

30:01 as long as it is planned and planned.

30:03 I hope the holidays won't be a surprise.

30:06 If the holidays are planned, it's very hard to plan,

30:10 especially for exporters.

30:12 If you are surprised, you have a schedule that is broken.

30:16 You have a schedule that is not being fulfilled.

30:18 So, we have a lot of people who work more pay,

30:21 and then the pay-per-ratio.

30:22 There are also holidays that are being postponed to make the weekends longer,

30:25 under the name of the so-called holiday economics.

30:28 The theory is that longer vacation, longer expenses, and a more livable economy.

30:33 But there is a hidden economist, Emanuel Leico.

30:36 Holiday economics favors some sectors of the economy, such as transportation and tourism,

30:42 but it is heavy for others.

30:43 Productivity losses, I think, will have to be weighed against declaring holidays.

30:50 I would rather the purchasing power of the Filipinos are boosted.

30:58 Because if you have money to spend, you will go out, and that will stimulate the economy.

31:05 For GMA Integrated News, Ivan Meyrina, for 24 Hours.

31:10 The Red Sun cast, Sani Lopez and Ashley Ortega, became emotional

31:18 when they were able to interview the two comfort women during the Japanese occupation.

31:22 This is a preparation for a series that will discuss one of the dark periods of Philippine history.

31:28 Let's talk to Nelson Canlas.

31:34 Before the end of 2023, the Sparkle Stars, Sani Lopez and Ashley Ortega,

31:40 met Lola Estring and Lola Esing.

31:43 They are not the usual grandmothers, but former comfort women or sex slaves during the Japanese occupation.

31:51 With the help of LILA Filipina, the two actresses had the opportunity

31:57 to hear the experiences of comfort women during the Japanese occupation in the Philippines.

32:03 I just cried. I just covered my eyes.

32:08 I remember what the woman said that if I fight, I will be killed.

32:15 Like in the past, the two elders were the ones who were wounded by the second war.

32:22 I was 11 to 12 years old.

32:25 I experienced that I was not good enough for myself.

32:36 Now, I see the youths.

32:45 They are happy.

32:49 I said, "I wish I could reach that age. I wish I could be happy like them."

32:58 But I was so old, I had a trauma.

33:06 For Sani and Ashley, the two most courageous women they have ever met in their life,

33:14 Lola Estring and Lola Esing, who left a deep lesson in their difficult story.

33:22 I learned the courage, the strength of their hearts,

33:27 their faith that they can still survive in the life they have.

33:34 I'm sorry, I'm crying because they are so good.

33:38 I was really amazed by them. They experienced a lot.

33:44 I realized that our generation is really lucky.

33:49 I'm sorry I couldn't stop.

33:53 One of the greatest lessons is that you should be grateful to the youths because we are so lucky now.

34:00 The stories of the former comfort women will serve as inspiration

34:05 to bring back to life the suffering of Filipinos during World War II

34:11 in the upcoming prime time series, "Pulang Araw."

34:14 I will study hard and I will give my character, this show, everything

34:21 because it's for all the comfort women during World War II.

34:26 I'm the only one who can make her happy.

34:29 She really watches me.

34:32 I love my job more.

34:35 I told my mom, "Mom, don't worry. I will go back to TV."

34:40 I told her, "For you, especially this job, I will dedicate it to all the comfort women."

34:52 Artificial Intelligence or AI could create voices of GMA anchors

35:02 who used the fake video of the Quintas' donation from Italy.

35:05 Now that there are a lot of AI-generated videos, how can fake videos be avoided on the internet?

35:10 Rafi Tima is on the topic.

35:12 We will start with the fake video.

35:19 Even at first glance, you would think that it's real.

35:22 It's reported by GMA News Anchor and Senior Reporter, Ivan Mayrina.

35:26 And GMA Host, Susan Enriquez.

35:34 If you watch the whole video, you will see that it's not real news.

35:40 It's only 24 hours or any social media platform of GMA.

35:44 Even if the graphics or font in the report looks real, this large font that appears in the video

35:50 and can be seen in the top and bottom of the video, is not used by 24 hours and GMA social media team.

35:57 Even if they are the voice of Ivan and Susan, it's obvious that the words in their mouths are not correct.

36:03 Even their big cast in the word "necklace".

36:11 In the middle of the video, it's obvious that the person who introduced the video is a robot.

36:16 He is also the one who is the uploader of the video.

36:18 The whole message of the video, "We will give you a free necklace from Italy", seems to be not believable.

36:40 If the message doesn't seem believable or you won't think that it's really from that person,

36:48 maybe the best thing to do is to ask, to confirm if it's really from him.

36:53 What's left in the video, the voices of Ivan and Susan are identical.

36:58 It's something that artificial intelligence can do.

37:02 He can get a lot of voices from his daily speech, his broadcast.

37:09 Now, you can get a lot of things.

37:13 The training you can give to AI is good.

37:16 So now, after AI learns, you can tell it what you want to say.

37:22 We tried to contact the page owner of the social media page.

37:26 Based on the picture, he also introduced the guy who spoke in the video.

37:30 But the number of the person who posted the video is not available.

37:33 Since the video was uploaded last December, the video has reached 1.8 million views.

37:38 It was posted by Ivan Mayrina.

37:40 And the video has 146,000 views.

37:43 It was posted by Susan Enriquez.

37:45 We are still trying to get the content of the social media platform.

37:48 But they said before that they are still fighting against the fake videos that are uploaded on their platform.

37:55 According to the experts, it's really hard for me to know if the videos or audio that we are watching and listening to are fake or true.

38:04 So, to avoid being fooled, understand well and look at the message you are watching.

38:11 Don't believe it right away and verify it well.
