00:00 [News Anchor]

00:07 Live from the GMA Network Center, this is 24 Horas.

00:13 Good evening, Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.

00:18 The Senate is calling on the Supreme Court to approve the re-election of signatures for the People's Initiative.

00:27 [News Anchor]

00:35 In the midst of two trials, one of the judges decided that the President should be in the middle.

00:41 And that is what the President and the President's wife, President Pérez, and the President's wife, Ma'am González, are discussing.

00:45 The Senate is calling on the Supreme Court to approve the re-election of signatures for the People's Initiative.

00:56 According to Senator Coco Pimentel, the Senate will arrange the cases for the weekend planning session.

01:02 As for the other points, the Komelec Foundation has no evidence to accept the signatures for the People's Initiative.

01:09 What is your business receiving all these papers with signatures?

01:16 They say they have a ministerial role to play as of the moment.

01:20 Based on what?

01:24 On a law already characterized by the Supreme Court as insufficient to support a People's Initiative.

01:35 The People's Initiative cannot be called an "anea" because it is a revision, not just a simple amendment.

01:41 It is a joint voting to change the Constitution.

01:46 The basic structure of the legislative branch is being changed or opposed.

01:52 Your experience in law and being a bar top nutcher will help us.

01:57 And we'll be fighting this together.

01:58 The Senate has also suspended the resolution of both Houses 6 and RBH 6

02:04 that is a far-fetched amendment to the economic provisions of the Constitution because the People's Initiative is still in force.

02:10 And in the midst of the protests of congressmen behind this, they ask,

02:15 why are there two ways to make a charter change?

02:18 While the People's Initiative is not being supported, the ones behind this are really politicians.

02:25 Another senator thinks that the President should be in the middle of the issue.

02:29 The President's sentiment is very important here.

02:34 It is also important to avoid a potential political crisis.

02:40 The most important law is the sacrifice.

02:44 We are still asking for Malacanang's opinion on this.

02:48 But yesterday, in an exclusive interview of GMA Integrated News,

02:51 President Marcos said that it is more important to prioritize the revision of the economic provisions of the Constitution.

02:57 The leader of the House of Representatives was the first to deny that they are behind the People's Initiative.

03:02 Why won't they admit that they are behind this?

03:06 It means that there is a hidden agenda.

03:09 They are ashamed of the People's Initiative. Why won't they admit it?

03:14 To everyone, whoever is behind the charter, admit who you are.

03:19 On the camera, the one who gave the update on the implementation of the People's Initiative

03:24 is Albay Second District Representative Joey Salceda.

03:27 He said that they have already obtained the 12 percent signature of registered voters nationwide,

03:33 3 percent for each legislative district.

03:36 We have already reached the mandate of the people.

03:40 He did not clarify why he knew the information we asked.

03:45 It is also unclear who they are referring to,

03:48 especially when the congressmen distance themselves from the campaign of the candidates.

03:53 But he has an answer to the accusation of buying signatures.

03:56 It's easy to sell, right?

04:00 I think that Filipinos are not that shallow to just sign.

04:06 Salceda also argued in the signed manifesto of all senators to oppose the People's Initiative.

04:12 We should listen to the people, not to the 24 people.

04:16 The issue now is what is good for the future of the Philippines.

04:20 But sir, the P.I.G.A.O. is not the People's Initiative but the Politicians' Initiative.

04:25 Well, it's easy to name-call, right?

04:34 But the 12.1 percent of the population that signed on.

04:40 We will still be affected by the plebiscite.

04:43 Why doesn't the people want to listen?

04:46 In the plebiscite, they are free to campaign against the petition.

04:50 For GMA Integrated News, Tina Panganiban Perez.

04:54 Mav Gonzales, 24 Hours.

04:57 And just before the news, President Bongbong Marcos approved the extension of three months

05:06 to the deadline of consolidation of the traditional jeeps under the Jeepney Modernization Program.

05:13 The other details of that news, wait for it, just later.

05:18 Meanwhile, Pastor Apolo Kibuloy denied that he will not face the Senate even if he is already sentenced.

05:25 He also denied the allegations of his victims who ran to the Senate.

05:31 And Dano Tinkunco was found guilty.

05:33 In the video from the SMNI Network from the Kingdom of Jesus Christ,

05:44 Pastor Apolo Kibuloy denied the accusations of the witnesses who ran to the Senate yesterday

05:50 against him or any abuse of members of KOJC.

05:54 Anyone can make such allegations.

05:57 But they will still be held accountable because they are under your Senate hearing.

06:03 After that hearing, they will be held accountable for the law, for false allegations,

06:10 especially my reputation is at stake here.

06:14 All the false accusations that are being made, anyone can make up a witness,

06:22 and after the face is covered, after the alias is done,

06:27 whatever he said there, will he not be held accountable?

06:32 Kibuloy said that even if he is already sentenced, he will not face the Senate hearing.

06:38 I will face any of you.

06:40 Even if you use 100 witnesses.

06:43 Even if you pay 100 witnesses.

06:47 I will face you anywhere, anytime in a court of law.

06:53 Just do it.

06:54 And I will face you anywhere, anytime in a court of law.

06:59 If you cannot do that, then you are all bogus, you are all false, and you don't deserve my respect.

07:07 Because of the many cases in America, like rape, human trafficking, and others,

07:12 including Kibuloy, he is the most wanted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation or FBI.

07:17 Even in America, it is the same scenario as it is here.

07:22 I was also accused there by many former workers, but they are all liars.

07:29 Now, they are having a hard time facing the fact that they are all liars.

07:34 I will not let this pass.

07:37 We need to know the truth here, not in your Senate hearing, but in a court of law.

07:44 And why do they want the proceedings to be controlled by Senator Ontiveros?

07:50 No one can question her.

07:52 She cannot be held in any other place liable for any of her acts.

07:56 There is no right to counsel.

07:58 We cannot counsel.

07:59 But according to Senator Risa Ontiveros, the chairman of the Senate Committee on Women and Children,

08:04 the Senate will still be prepared in the face of Kibuloy and other acts against the leader of KOJC.

08:10 She is the center of the victims, that is why she should be the one to answer.

08:16 Because we are also looking at the Department of Justice issuing an immigration lookout bulletin order or hold departure order.

08:24 In the last statement of the Department of Justice, the FBI has not yet issued an extradition request for Kibuloy.

08:31 For GMA Integrated News, I am Dan Ating Cunco, for 24 Hours.

08:35 The police's separation operation is not without its flaws.

08:39 There are two reasons for the violence.

08:42 One, it is a different look and acquaintance, but it is still a catch.

08:46 Here is my exclusive report.

08:52 The San Juan Police officers were in a hurry behind the parked vehicles when the target's asset was already taken out.

09:00 What happened to your case?

09:03 What?

09:04 The case of your son-in-law, Ryf.

09:06 What happened there?

09:08 Nothing.

09:09 What do you mean nothing?

09:10 Let's go here.

09:11 Call the car.

09:12 The suspect was caught here in the act of rape of his minor daughter.

09:17 We are continuing to try to get hold of the suspect who is currently in jail in the San Juan Police Headquarters.

09:24 His accomplice who is standing here to file a complaint against the case,

09:27 we told the police how he was robbed by his accomplice, the criminal.

09:32 They were both housekeeping in a hotel.

09:36 It happened that the mother was there at night and the father was there in the morning.

09:41 When he was off from work, they were the only ones left there by the victim.

09:46 In Valenzuela City, the operatives of the National Capital Region Police Office in People's Park have moved to a different position.

09:57 Later, they were running.

10:00 The suspect, Mark Bianzon, was caught in a police station in Camarines Norte.

10:08 He was wanted for the rape case.

10:10 And to avoid being arrested, he changed his appearance and his identity.

10:14 He dyed his hair and wore a hoodie to conceal his identity.

10:19 He assumed a new identity.

10:22 He made fake IDs.

10:24 But when the police found out that he was involved with his wife...

10:28 We followed the husband of the escapee.

10:31 Before we could see his wife, he was trapped there.

10:37 No comment.

10:38 The suspect, Emil Sumangil, was sentenced to 24 hours for the GMA Integrated News.

10:44 Because of China's aggression, some of our countrymen stopped fishing in Bajo de Masinloc.

10:50 And some of them continued to look for a job to support their families.

10:55 Their income decreased.

10:57 Marisol Abdurrahman was sentenced.

10:59 It hurts us, ma'am, that they do that.

11:06 Instead of feeding our family, we don't have a place to go home to fish.

11:12 That's how it is, ma'am.

11:13 We were harassed there several times, ma'am.

11:19 The 57-year-old was just crying when he was told the reason why the fishing in Bajo de Masinloc was stopped after 32 years.

11:31 He was talking about the China Coast Guard.

11:34 We were 18 miles away from Calburo, and we were being harassed.

11:37 They were pointing guns at us.

11:38 That's why we were scared.

11:41 It's a waste.

11:42 Especially the fish that are expensive and first-class are the ones they catch in Scarborough.

11:46 Despite their low income, some of them are glad that the fish in Scarborough stopped.

11:52 They say that they might be in danger.

11:54 They were unfortunate to get there because of the repeated harassment of the Chinese Coast Guard.

12:00 We were scared, so we didn't go there.

12:04 They were pouring water on us.

12:06 We were almost drowned.

12:08 But Lino Belvis Jr. was just returning from Bajo de Masinloc,

12:12 fighting against the fear of a good income.

12:16 We were just doing our job.

12:18 We don't have any other livelihood but fishing in Scarborough.

12:22 Because China is more aggressive now, their income is decreasing from P10,000 per person to P3,000.

12:30 We will go to the most expensive place.

12:33 We don't want to go fishing there.

12:36 So if they go to the expensive place, it means that there's no one to catch?

12:40 We won't be caught.

12:41 They appealed to the government to help them be able to fish in Bajo.

12:46 The Philippine Coast Guard said that they will continue to guard Bajo.

12:51 We are also giving them a fuel subsidy and grocery items for the Filipino fishermen

12:57 to sustain their fishing expedition in Bajo de Masinloc.

13:00 This time, we're going to have a much more coordinated presence in BBM

13:07 to ensure that if not 24/7, the Coast Guard will maintain,

13:12 at least BFAR vessel can be able to supplement the instances that are in the rotational deployment of our boats.

13:20 While this is just a dream, their fight for the territory of the Philippines continues.

13:28 From here in Kato, Pangasinan, for GMA Integrated News, Marisol Abduraman,

13:35 "Nakatuto 24 Horas."

13:37 Defense Secretary Gibote Eudoro has condemned the Chinese boatmen's violation of the Filipino fishing laws.

13:45 He told them not to go fishing alone.

13:48 "Nakatuto, Si Rafi Tima."

13:50 "China is now blocking the fishermen. Some are even carrying batons."

13:57 Because of the latest incident of the Chinese Coast Guard's fishing expedition

14:00 to the Filipino fishermen in Bajo de Masinloc, which is inside the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines,

14:05 they ran away, hoping that they will have an escort when fishing, to avoid that kind of incident.

14:14 In his face-off in Manila Overseas Press Club last night, Defense Secretary Gilberto Eudoro condemned what happened

14:20 and his advice to them when going to Bajo de Masinloc,

14:23 "The best advice I can give is, don't go alone to the small fishermen."

14:28 "There is strength in numbers and there's enough catch for all as long as you are unimpeded inside the Bajo de Masinloc."

14:41 "But that doesn't go to say that we do not condemn the act of China, which it has no business doing, in harassing Filipino fishermen."

14:51 When asked what the Defense Department will do following the harassment of the Filipino fishermen,

14:56 Eudoro said that the attack was done by the National Task Force on the West Philippine Sea and the Philippine Coast Guard.

15:02 We asked them for an explanation.

15:04 Earlier, the Department of Foreign Affairs of China held a diplomatic protest

15:08 because of the latest incident of harassment by the China Coast Guard.

15:11 Despite the Foreign Affairs Department of the Philippines and China talking to each other

15:15 to ease tensions in the West Philippine Sea,

15:18 Eudoro said that the Philippines will not back down in its commitment to its rights.

15:23 He added,

15:24 "We are not the ones encroaching on the exclusive economic zone of another country."

15:33 "The encroacher has a vast area of sea."

15:38 "And if they ask us to meet them halfway when they have already eaten three-fourths of the way into our exclusive economic zone,

15:48 where is the fairness in that? Who's fooling who?"

15:52 "And if there are spillover effects, we are not to blame."

15:58 If the Philippines will start a conflict, it will not start with the Filipinos.

16:03 "I do hope that there is some sanity and some sincerity behind the words of peaceful intent to us to avoid an armed conflict."

16:19 "As much as possible, nobody wants an armed conflict."

16:23 "But we can also not just accept the illegal and unconscionable encroachments into what rightfully belongs to the future generation of Filipinos."

16:37 Along with diplomacy, Defense Secretary Gilbert Eudoro stated that the Philippine Armed Forces' movement is important and strong.

16:44 Something that they are doing despite the small budget.

16:48 China's own C-GP said that an important element of a strong country is a strong military force.

16:56 And that, according to Eudoro, is what the Philippines will do.

17:00 For GMI Integrated News, Rafi Tima, 24 Hours.

17:05 It is not up to the country's more than P14 trillion debt, the new Finance Secretary Ralph Recto.

17:14 There are plans for that, as well as other orders of the President, such as controlling inflation.

17:21 And Maris Umali was right.

17:23 Because the Philippines still prioritizes the love of buying or inflation,

17:32 according to the latest survey, controlling that and perhaps having stable prices

17:37 is one of the orders of President Bombo Marcos to the new Finance Secretary Ralph Recto.

17:42 Smuggling and trust in the financial institutions and supply chains are also being ordered.

17:48 Tax evaders are also being chased and the collection of taxes for the country's economy is being increased.

17:54 We have to increase our revenues by 15% this year.

17:58 This year alone, we need to generate P4.3 trillion in revenues

18:03 and borrow P2.4 trillion to fuel economic growth.

18:09 This will not be a walk in the park.

18:12 On the other hand, they don't need to add taxes first,

18:16 so they will not add taxes for the drinks like Chichiria and Matatamis.

18:23 The Finance Department's plan is original.

18:26 There is no bill in the House.

18:27 When you impose taxes, that is also inflationary.

18:31 So I don't think now is the time to impose very high taxes.

18:37 But he will not stop the import of single-use plastic.

18:42 Let's pass by the House. We support that initiative.

18:45 That is now in the Senate. I think that's a low-hanging fruit that we can pass immediately.

18:51 Even online sellers have started to use plastic.

18:54 We gave the online platforms a grace period of 90 days.

18:58 So they still have 90 days to comply.

19:00 The Philippine debt is now P14.5 trillion.

19:07 The GDP of the country is 60% of the gross domestic product.

19:11 The question is, will this be left to our new government?

19:16 It's not the size of the debt but your ability to pay.

19:19 The idea is to bring that down to 51 to 55 percent.

19:23 There are two ways of doing that, raising taxes or a combination and growing the economy.

19:28 Act faster on improving projects and getting more investment.

19:33 To make their collection easier, there will be a digital transformation in the Bureau of Internal Revenue and Bureau of Customs.

19:40 If we make it easier for the taxpayers to comply and if we educate them properly,

19:44 then the compliance for tax payments would go up.

19:48 We try to engage and collaborate with other law enforcement agencies

19:53 in order for us to protect our borders and prevent the entry of illicit goods, contraband, drugs and maybe high value commodities.

20:04 For GMA Integrated News, Maris Umali for 24 Hours.

20:08 A new technology is one of the things the government wants to use to strengthen the economy.

20:15 But can the internet in the country speed up a digital economy?

20:20 We are talking to Ivan Mayrina.

20:23 Digitalization is one of the things the Marcos administration is pushing as a step to make the process easier in business,

20:32 jobs are easier and the economy is alive.

20:35 According to the DILG, after 2023, there are 921 local government units with business permit system

20:43 where transactions in the municipality or city hall are online.

20:46 This means that 85% of the local government units have a simplified business permit and licensing

20:52 and 92% have a business one-stop shop.

20:55 This is the impact of the ease of doing business.

20:59 If you look at 2018, up to 4.7, the number of registered business increased from 1.3 million to 4.7 million.

21:13 Not only that, I will show you the fees of collection of taxes in the local from 50 billion in 2018.

21:26 Now, it's 208 billion.

21:30 So that is times four.

21:33 But a digital economy is based on fast and reliable internet connection.

21:38 Like last year, the Malacanang Autosan issued an order to speed up the process of obtaining a permit

21:43 in building infrastructure like the Telco cell site.

21:46 That's why from the previous order of permits and requirements that take 241 days or 8 months to process,

21:53 it was shortened to 16 days.

21:55 According to the Information and Communications Technology Department,

21:58 until 2023, they have given 25,000 locations free Wi-Fi.

22:04 This year, they plan to double the number of locations.

22:06 The E-Gov Super App that was launched earlier is now connected to the ELGU

22:11 so that the government can send services to every Filipino.

22:14 For GMA Integrated News, Ivan Mayrina is in touch.

22:18 The lawyers of Vice President Sara Duterte are ready for the investigation

22:23 of the Duterte Drug War of the International Criminal Court.

22:27 But for now, the vice president said that she has not received any documents from them.

22:33 And Ian Cruz is on the line.

22:34 Vice President Sara Duterte visited the International Day of Education in Marco Polo Hotel in Pasig City.

22:44 There, she was exclusively interviewed about the records that she is one of the respondents

22:49 in the investigation of the International Criminal Court or ICC.

22:52 I have not received a document that I am a secondary respondent in the ICC.

22:58 But in any event, the lawyers are ready to do anything if there is such a thing.

23:06 The ICC is investigating the extrajudicial killing under the war on drugs

23:11 during the administration of its former President Rodrigo Duterte.

23:15 According to the vice president, they have not yet talked to the father about the investigation of the ICC.

23:21 No, we have not met and we have not talked to former President Duterte.

23:27 I'm sure he already knows what he will do because he is a lawyer as well.

23:32 VP Sara also visited Esteban Abada Elementary School in Quezon City

23:38 for the launch of the Mental Health Program and School-Based Feeding Program of the Department of Education.

23:45 In an ambush interview, we asked for clarification because her term will end in 2028.

23:52 But she said that she will run for the next election. She has not yet said her position.

23:59 Does this mean that you will resign as Vice President and Education Secretary?

24:04 I did not say that in my speech.

24:08 That's why I always say when someone asks, I say, "Of course, I will stand up for my speech."

24:17 I said, "I believe that because it is interpreted line by line by people, not the whole speech."

24:26 That's why the questions are being asked.

24:28 Yesterday, President Bongbong Marcos said that he thinks that the announcement of the Vice President is like testing the waters

24:35 even though they have not yet talked to each other.

24:38 The Vice President said, "We have not yet talked to President Marcos about the election."

24:46 VP Sara supported the Senate manifesto against the People's Initiative to amend the Constitution.

24:53 It is an indication that democracy is working in the country.

24:57 Regarding her relationship with House Speaker Martin Romualdez.

25:01 How is your relationship with Speaker Romualdez?

25:03 What do you think about our relationship?

25:07 The very best description and comment on our relationship with Speaker Martin Romualdez came from Senator Aimee Marcos.

25:19 Senator Aimee Marcos repeatedly said that she was upset with her speaker because of her being a pro-Duterte.

25:26 For GMA Integrated News, Ian Cruz is in the news for 24 hours.

25:34 In our rainy season, the effect of the shear line is returning.

25:38 That's why some parts of the country are getting ready for the rain.

25:42 The shear line is reaching the eastern section of Southern Luzon.

25:46 The shear line is being formed by the thick clouds from the warm and hot wind.

25:52 But aside from the shear line, the rain will continue based on the data of Metro Weather.

25:57 Southern Luzon will also rain along with Quezon, Mindoro Provinces and Bicol Region.

26:02 The expected rain will be heavy so be alert for a flood or landslide.

26:06 The rain is also possible in some parts of Northern Luzon along with Cordillera and Cagayan Valley.

26:12 It will also rain in Panay Island, Negros Provinces and Saman Atleta Provinces.

26:16 There is a chance of heavy rain so residents should be careful.

26:20 The weather in Mindanao is clear aside from some parts of Barm, Misamis Occidental and Tavao Oriental.

26:26 The rain is still possible in Metro Manila but the rain will monitor the advisories of Pagasa.

26:33 Yesterday, the residents also added that the Gale Warning is high.

26:38 The Eastern Seaboard of Visayas is also in danger.

26:42 A congressman said that there is enough signatures for the People's Initiative.

26:52 The total number of signatures is only 30% of the 8 million signatures.

26:58 Sandra Aguinaldo was on the spot.

27:00 The media forum was attended by Sen. Comlec Chairman George Erwin Garcia

27:08 and some of the people who are in favor of the amendment of the Constitution through the People's Initiative.

27:14 Here is what the group of signatures said, or People's Initiative for Modernization and Reform,

27:20 that they have not yet obtained more than 8 million signatures to meet the 12% requirement of registered voters across the country and 3% in each congressional district.

27:32 But they believe that they will get it within a few months.

27:36 So far we have gathered about 30% of 8 million, so that's about 2.5 million signatures already.

27:44 What's happening now is that we will be able to get 12% and maybe more.

27:53 I think that within the next two to three months, we will get it.

27:57 This is contrary to what Congressman Joey Salceda said, that the required number of signatures has been obtained.

28:04 The signatures said that they are not included in the signature drive.

28:09 But they are in coordination with the people for the distribution of signatures in their districts.

28:15 The signatures are being submitted and accepted in the Comlec local offices.

28:20 More than half of the 254 congressional districts have already received a certification after submitting their signatures.

28:29 More than 1,000 of the 1,634 cities and municipalities of the Philippines have already submitted their signatures and received a certification.

28:40 But some groups are asking why the Comlec is doing this when there are no petitions filed yet for the People's Initiative.

28:49 Garcia said that this will be a question to the Supreme Court to clarify the false accusations against the law and the Comlec guidelines.

28:59 It would be great if they can question us so that we can have a president so that we can be guided by the next ones.

29:06 The work of the Comlec will not stop until we are stopped because we are tied to the law.

29:15 If there are guidelines or if there are questions to the People's Initiative that is being signed, we are there to confront these legal challenges.

29:27 According to the Comlec, the process of passing the signature campaign for the charter change is still long before it reaches the plebiscite.

29:37 According to the Comlec, the time for the entire process of the People's Initiative is already limited, including the signing of the amendment to the plebiscite.

29:46 As long as it's October, November, December, we cannot do the plebiscite. The entire year of 2025, we cannot do the plebiscite.

29:56 For GMA Integrated News, Sandra Aguinaldo, Tutok 24 Hora.

30:03 The Chinese Embassy has already responded to President Bongbong Marcos' statement on Taiwan in an exclusive interview with GMA Integrated News.

30:10 They said that Marcos' statement that the One-China Policy is being followed by the Philippines,

30:16 that Taiwan is a province of China and that Taiwan independence is not supported,

30:22 was said by Marcos in an exclusive interview with GMA Integrated News when asked about his stance on China's greeting to him

30:29 after he was greeted by the new President-elect of Taiwan.

30:33 Marcos said in the interview that he did it as a courtesy.

30:37 All of our stories are useless if the message is not effective to you.

30:45 That's why the Philippine Quill Award is a big deal in several programs of GMA Integrated News and GMA Network,

30:53 especially the 24 Hora, especially this is the most prestigious award in the field of Business Communication.

31:00 Katrina Son was the winner.

31:02 GMA Network and GMA Integrated News are among the 20th Quill Awards

31:10 that recognizes the most successful programs and projects in the field of communication.

31:16 Among them is the 24 Hora, which was named for its publication "Pinamagatang Sinking Cities"

31:23 part of the climate change series "Dabantanang Nagbabagong Klima".

31:27 Joseph Morong discussed in this publication how some barangays in Bulacan are slowly being erased from the map

31:34 that can also be occupied by some other places in Manila if the effects of climate change cannot be mitigated.

31:41 The program "Saksi" was also named for its publication about the importance of "Sierra Madre".

31:47 The "Sounds and Stories of the Philippines" was also a winner,

31:50 a digital project of GMA Integrated News, GMA Public Affairs and Spotify.

31:55 The "Kalikasan Project" of GMA Network is also a winner in the category of Corporate Social Responsibility.

32:02 The recognition was received by GMA Senior Vice President, Integrated News, Regional TV and Synergy Head, Oliver Victor V. Amoroso,

32:10 along with GMA Vice President, Deputy Head for News Programs and Special Division, GMA Integrated News, Michelle S. Ceva.

32:19 The selection of the so-called evaluators for the awards was very difficult.

32:25 They are the ones who can be considered as the ones who made and left their mark in their own fields.

32:31 It was very difficult for them to pass, to be able to evaluate their plans and it was very objective, not just a simple one.

32:42 For GMA Integrated News, Katrina Sun, "Nakatutok 24 Horas".

32:48 Former US President Donald Trump was the first in the New Hampshire US Primary Elections

32:54 as a candidate of the Republican Party in the 2024 Presidential Election.

32:59 He defeated the remaining former US Ambassador Nikki Haley.

33:03 Trump was also the first in the former primary elections in Iowa.

33:07 On the other hand, Haley was continuously fighting Trump to be the candidate of the party in the election.

33:12 Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was the first to back out of the presidential race and endorsed Trump.

33:19 President Bumarcos extended the deadline of consolidation of the GMEs for three months.

33:27 Before that, there was a resolution that was taken to the camera to stop the modernization.

33:32 "Nakatutok" by Joseph Moro.

33:34 The deadline of consolidation of the traditional jeeps under the PUV modernization program was extended for three months until April 30.

33:45 That was the decision of President Bumarcos in his conversation with Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista in Malacanang.

33:52 The President's decision was followed by a resolution of the House Committee on Transportation earlier

33:57 that was called to Marcos and the Department of Transportation

34:00 to not implement the consolidation of the jeeps under the PUV modernization program.

34:06 The President's decision was followed by a resolution of the House Committee on Transportation earlier

34:11 that was called to Marcos and the Department of Transportation

34:14 to not implement the consolidation of the jeeps under the PUV modernization program.

34:20 The investigation of the camera was ordered by House Speaker Martin Romualdez

34:25 to review the irregularities of the PUV modernization program.

34:30 Because of the extension, the continuation of the consolidation of the unconsolidated traditional jeeps will not be allowed until February 1.

34:37 According to the GMA News Research, the LTFRB itself has about 2,000 routes in the country

34:43 that have not yet consolidated jeeps and UVExpress.

34:46 How can there not be a shortage or how can you guarantee that there is no shortage of vehicles?

34:53 The assurance that we are giving when we say there will be no shortage of the public transport supply

34:59 is actually the response coming from the consolidation.

35:03 The real meaning of that is that there will be a shortage of vacant routes because of the unconsolidated.

35:13 The LTFRB gate in the country is already 75 percent consolidated in the over 150,000 units of jeeps.

35:21 But in Bacolo, according to the operators there, 73 percent of the jeeps are not consolidated yet.

35:26 There are also some that are not consolidated in Iloilo and Batangas.

35:30 If we don't pass it by February 1, what will we feed our families?

35:36 And another thing, if we don't pass it by, we will not be able to pass our vehicles.

35:43 We are just like the ones in the fields.

35:47 If we will pass our vehicles, what if someone gets sick?

35:50 Where will we get sick? In the fields?

35:52 Will you be able to sleep there?

35:55 After January 31, will you be able to sleep there?

35:59 Many of you were fired from your jobs because of...

36:03 According to the Committee on Transportation, the POV Modernization Program is a bad idea.

36:08 The unconsolidated jeeps are now at rest, but the ones that have been consolidated are in despair.

36:14 I am very disappointed with what is happening, what is being done now.

36:20 The government should have a program, a good direction, and we should continue.

36:25 We welcome the extension, but what is more important to us is to get rid of the 2017.11.

36:35 For GMA Integrated News, Joseph Morong, for 24 Hours.

36:39 House Speaker Martin Romualdez doesn't want the Senate to be silent against the Camera.

36:46 Romualdez responded after some senators said that some congressmen might have something to do with the People's Initiative.

36:54 Petty differences in the Philistine.

36:59 Foul words or unnecessary invectives, when they don't have a place here.

37:08 We don't allow that.

37:10 What we do, we try to look at the good in everything that everyone does, even the Senate.

37:15 So, if they're doing something positive, we embrace it.

37:18 If they say or do something that is not necessarily to our liking, we respect their freedom and the right to express as such.

37:26 But I will not allow them.

37:28 Like a sneak peek to married life for Jasmine Curtis-Smith and Raver Cruz, their role in the Kapuso series of Asawa ng Asawa Ko.

37:41 Liza Lopez and Martin Del Rosario are proud of the support that their series receives.

37:48 Here's what Obre Carampel has to say.

37:50 It's only been two weeks, but it's already full of excitement.

37:57 Anger.

38:00 Let's kill that bestie, Cristina.

38:03 And tension.

38:10 The latest GMA Prime series, Asawa ng Asawa Ko.

38:14 It's no wonder that the scene was stopped.

38:19 It was also flooded with positive feedback that was so much fun.

38:23 Jasmine Curtis-Smith, Raver Cruz, Liza Lopez, and Martin Del Rosario,

38:28 who recently joined the hot seat of GMA Integrated News Interviews.

38:33 You can see and everyone has been saying that it's like a movie.

38:39 And it's not just a coincidence.

38:43 It was planned that our team will make it this good.

38:48 I'm also happy that we were able to read the comments online.

38:52 So I hope that people will still watch.

38:55 The director of the series, Loris Guillen, and the director of photography, J. Abellio, said that it was a big help for them.

39:03 So that each scene will be better.

39:06 For each of our characters, we really had to prepare.

39:12 Because it doesn't happen if you base it on your own experience.

39:16 I just read the script and thought that the story was good.

39:19 But when I watched it, I saw the shots, I saw the acting of my co-actors.

39:23 It was so proud.

39:25 Jasmine also had a different kind of preparation.

39:28 She watched and read about the cases of abduction.

39:32 Her character, Christina, who just got married, was kidnapped by the rebels.

39:37 She really had a lot of mental preparation.

39:40 Because her growth and maturity will be different when she will be gone from her family for 4 years.

39:48 And because the story is about marriage, she somehow had a sneak peek of the life of the husband.

39:56 They are already a couple, they already talked about it and prepared for it.

40:02 At 8 years, I think you get to that point where your mentality is almost like you're a married couple.

40:09 And it's just natural.

40:12 If Raver will ask, it's still early to talk about marriage.

40:17 But he's sure that Limitless star, Julian San Jose is the one for him.

40:22 We all enjoy it and I'm so thankful to his family and of course to his parents.

40:27 I don't have parents anymore.

40:30 Eventually, that's where it goes.

40:32 And I'm not in this relationship, you know, I haven't thought about it yet.

40:40 We're not kids anymore.

40:42 Their co-stars, Martin and Lizelle, are single by choice.

40:47 I believe that if you're already there, it's not like you have to look for someone.

40:54 It's like magic.

40:56 When you're already there, it's very spontaneous.

40:59 That's what usually works.

41:01 Instead of looking for someone, planning, what are we going to do, are we going to put a label, what should we do.

41:07 It should be like that.

41:08 So I think it's better if I focus on myself first.

41:11 So even if someone comes, at least I'm doing something good for myself.

41:18 The other revelation of the cast of Asawa ng Asawa Ko about love and their new series.

41:25 Stay tuned for part 2 of our interview in 24 hours.

41:29 Obri Carampel, updated showbiz happenings.

41:34 And again, we are very thankful to all who are building the 20th Philippine Quill Awards.

41:41 Thank you very much.

41:42 And our hearts are now full.

41:45 We want to greet a happy day, the one and only brother of the country,

41:51 always full of new knowledge and trivia.

41:54 Who else is that?

41:55 Really?

41:56 We made all of that.

41:58 Group MF4.

42:00 Yes, right?

42:01 Thank you very much guys.

42:04 It's a great honor to be part of 24 hours.

42:06 Thank you so much.

42:07 We love you, Kuya.

42:09 Happy birthday.

42:10 I love you.

42:11 And that's it.

42:14 What's your wish?

42:16 Kuya Kim, what's next?

42:17 My wish is to get to know the Lord better in the coming years.

42:21 They say, "Seek first the kingdom of God, then His righteousness, and all else will follow."

42:24 And all of that is just a bonus.

42:25 Amen.

42:26 That's why Kuya is blessed.

42:29 And that's all the news this Wednesday.

42:31 I am Vicky Morales.

42:33 I am PR Kanghel for a bigger mission.

42:36 For a wider service to the country.

42:39 I am Emil Sumangyo.

42:40 From GMA Integrated News, the news authority of the Philippines.

42:43 We learned 24 hours.
