00:27 This is not an airport, but one of the four train stations in Shanghai, the largest in the whole of China.
00:35 It is full of people who are chasing the travel to the province for Lunar New Year or Chinese New Year on Saturday.
00:42 Even on the weekend in Beijing, there are also last-minute travelers.
00:47 In China, Lunar New Year is a 40-day holiday.
00:51 And at that time, according to state media, it is expected to be in the Shanghai Domestic Trips.
00:58 Chinese New Year is also a long weekend here in the Philippines.
01:04 Aside from Saturday, it is also a special non-working day, even on Vespers.
01:08 That's why it is possible to spend a long vacation,
01:12 like some passengers who came to PITX to travel to the province.
01:18 It's hard to work, so it's tiring and draining.
01:22 So at least you have time to relax, so you can be with your family.
01:27 It's a bit expensive to travel for me, but I'm just doing it to be with my family.
01:35 According to the PITX, the buses are enough.
01:40 And because it's Valentine's Day on Wednesday, you can also buy flowers and other valentines gifts.
01:47 In Tuguegarao, Chinese New Year is celebrated early.
01:54 Lions and dragons dance in a ball to raise luck and to make a living.
02:02 Malabon Zoo is open again.
02:07 Like Year of the Dragon, the reptiles are begging.
02:11 The living dragon, Lolong Tu, the lion, Bayawok, and Greenie, the iguana.
02:18 The dragon symbolizes good luck, good health, and strength.
02:22 It means that the strength of the dragon will push the Philippines to be progressive in 2024.
02:29 The Chinese New Year is also about belief, luck, and bad luck.
02:33 But an expert in Feng Shui said,
02:36 It's important to pray first and do good to your loved ones.
02:41 You do more charity if your luck cycle is low so you can gain good karma.
02:46 For GMIntegrated News, I'm Oscar Hoyda.
02:49 Saksi!
02:51 Provinces are experiencing drought, especially in February due to El Niño.
02:59 According to the forecast, there are 25 provinces that are likely to experience drought.
03:04 And 17 are expected to experience dry spell.
03:08 By April, almost all provinces in the country will experience dry spell.
03:15 Dam levels are also being monitored, which are slowly decreasing.
03:19 If the rain won't reach the expected amounts, water rationing is not far.
03:25 There's still possibility that our rain will still be low in other places.
03:32 By May and June.
03:34 Unconsolidated jeepneys will not be able to travel after the April 30 deadline.
03:42 According to the Department of Transportation,
03:45 According to the House Committee on Transportation,
03:48 Jeepneys will not be registered as PUVs and their individual franchise will not be renewed.
03:55 DOTR also promised that consolidated traditional jeepneys can still travel after the deadline.
04:03 Because of the phase-out, it will happen once the Local Public Transport Route Plan or LPTRP is approved.
04:12 Traditional jeepneys can travel as long as they are roadworthy or in a condition to travel.
04:18 But according to some congressmen, consolidation should be made optional.
04:23 The recommendation will be discussed by the Project Steering Committee for the PUV Modernization Program next week.
04:31 For GMA Integrated News, Mark Salazar, your witness.
04:37 The plan to separate Mindanao from the Philippines will not succeed.
04:42 That's the statement of President Bongbong Marcos, who is calling for the cessation of the secession.
04:48 Witnesses are Maris Umali and Raffi Tima.
04:52 [Music]
04:56 The new call for a separate Mindanao is doomed to fail.
05:00 For it is anchored on a false premise, not to mention a sheer constitutional travesty.
05:07 This is the clearest statement of the President's decision to call for the secession of Mindanao from the Philippines.
05:12 President Bongbong Marcos made the statement in front of the businessmen, diplomatic corps,
05:17 and the most powerful companies in the country on the Constitution Day of the Philippine Constitution Association
05:23 and Manila Overseas Press Club or MOPC.
05:26 He called on the country to break up the call of its supporters.
05:29 The former President Rodrigo Duterte's call for the secession of Mindanao
05:34 will be remembered amid controversy surrounding the People's Initiative.
05:37 I strongly appeal to all concerned to stop this call for a separate Mindanao.
05:43 I have said it before and I will say it again here.
05:46 Our national territory will not be diminished.
05:51 We will continue to defend it.
05:53 This is my guarantee, not only throughout this term, but up to my dying breath.
05:58 The President also took the opportunity to give a statement in the heated discussion of changes to the Constitution.
06:05 The President clarified again that his administration's goal is only to talk about the economy
06:10 in the implementation of changes to the Constitution.
06:13 We will neither hinder this dialogue nor encroach on the prerogatives of Congress
06:17 and the sovereign will of the Filipino people.
06:20 Our bicameral Congress and our built-in system of checks and balances are wonders to behold.
06:26 We must allow our democratic institutions and their mechanisms,
06:30 made possible by our constitutional order, to take their natural course.
06:36 Former Chief Justice Renato Puno, the chairman of the PhilConsa,
06:40 in the midst of the calls for changes to the Constitution,
06:43 reminded the former Chief Justice in front of the President and the leader of the lowly Congress,
06:48 Speaker Martin Romualdez.
06:50 We have yet to see the fullness of its transforming effects.
06:57 The cascading effects of this transformation
07:04 necessarily demand a no-nonsense look
07:10 on the need to amend or revise our 1987 Constitution.
07:18 Now here, in front of the leaders and the Bansamoro government,
07:23 President Marcos spoke.
07:25 Bagong Pilipinas is incomplete without a Bansamoro rising along within it.
07:31 A stronger BARM means a stronger Mindanao.
07:37 A stronger Mindanao means a stronger Philippines,
07:45 bringing us closer to achieving our agendas.
07:49 The former leaders of the Bansamoro government
07:52 have long said that they do not agree with the expansion of Mindanao in the Republic of the Philippines.
07:56 This is what Chief Minister Ahud Ebrahim said earlier.
08:01 The paramount objective for the Bansamoro government remains
08:06 the establishment of an autonomous region that is functional, ready,
08:13 and thriving in an ever-changing and competitive society.
08:19 It is imperative that we fast-track all pending work and beat the deadlines we have set
08:29 without compromising on the integrity of the hard-won peace agreement.
08:37 For GMA Integrated News, I'm Maris Umali.
08:40 May your Rafi Timang succeed!
08:43 Former President Rodrigo Duterte was enraged
08:46 when he heard that he is pursuing a legal way to separate Mindanao from the Philippines.
08:51 The former president said this during the interview of the former Presidential Legal Counsel Salvador Panelo
08:56 in the program "Radyo Bandido RJTV".
09:00 According to the former president, this is a United Nations issue,
09:03 just like what Timor-Leste did.
09:05 He also denied the reaction of some officials and the so-called "Act of Sedition" in the so-called HACBANG.
09:11 Duterte said that he does not want a war.
09:15 He said that he does not want a war in the Constitution of the separation of Mindanao
09:18 because it is based on the will of the people.
09:22 In the middle of the rise in the price of rice,
09:26 some groups are hoping to approve an additional wage for the workers.
09:31 Sandra Aguinaldo is a witness.
09:37 Now, the Senate has just passed a plenary debate on the bill for an additional wage of P100 per day.
09:45 A group of workers said that they are hopeful that the hardship of life will pass
09:52 because their family's salary is not enough.
09:56 We think that P100 is small, it should be P150.
10:02 But we are happy that the Senate is listening that it has to be legislated.
10:07 But the Department of Labor and Employment has long since made their position on the issue to the Senate.
10:14 They can affect the business plan to raise the salary of the 4.5 million minimum wage earners.
10:22 Labor Secretary Bienvenido La Guesma said that the minimum wage has been raised in all regions of the country in 2023
10:30 except Davao Region where it was implemented in 2022.
10:35 The DOLE said that it is already improving and it is possible to announce Davao Region's increase in salary.
10:41 According to the GMA Integrated News Research,
10:45 all wage orders in 2023 were implemented in the second semester or the last six months of the year.
10:52 The last was Region 10 or Northern Mindanao in December.
10:57 The DOLE said that it will take another year to raise the salary again.
11:02 We want to give the employers a chance to settle down unless there is a so-called super beating event.
11:11 La Guesma said that they will follow the Congress on whether the bill will pass.
11:17 In 1989, there was a legislative wage hike and it was stopped after the Wage Rationalization Act was passed.
11:26 Regional tripartite wages and productivity boards were created.
11:31 According to the Employers Confederation of the Philippines or ECOP,
11:34 it is not yet possible to recover many businesses due to the pandemic and the increase in salary may be harmful.
11:42 Only a few businesses will benefit.
11:45 There are only two things that can be done.
11:47 Either they will increase the price, which is inflationary, or the number of people will decrease.
11:54 If those two are not possible, then they will close down.
11:57 The group of employees has a different view.
12:00 We're talking about more than 25 million Filipinos who will benefit from the increase in salary.
12:10 So we're talking about 25% of the population.
12:14 If the salary of the employees increases, their families will become consumers.
12:21 For GMA Integrated News, Sandra Aguinaldo, your "Saksi."
12:26 The government will teach the people who are interested in information technology.
12:33 This is to fight against the scammers and hackers in the country.
12:37 "Saksi" is Ivan Mayrina.
12:46 Even if the president said that he had a call with a Japanese, he will not deny how serious the scamming problem is.
12:53 That's why DICT is reminding people to fight against clicking on the links sent by unknown numbers
12:58 and against the allocations of "Too Good To Be True" or the announcement of "Nanalo Ka" in an unregistered raffle.
13:05 Also be careful with those who share on social media that they are getting information.
13:09 When they call you, they know your name, your birthdate, and your address.
13:15 Don't be misled. You need to be alert.
13:17 Sometimes, the ability of the Filipino online has become notorious.
13:20 The so-called "I Love You Virus" or "Love Bug" that was infected by the 24-year-old Onel De Guzman
13:25 spread to millions of computers and affected businesses and governments around the world in 2000.
13:31 Instead of fighting the virus, the Filipinos are so obsessed with information technology.
13:37 They want to be the target of the scammers and hackers.
13:40 DICT-ICT Academy will hold online courses for the government first, but later, for the public.
13:48 We've opened up a completely new window of employment that they can go into and earn a lot of money, better than the college salaries.
13:58 So how much money are we talking about when you said bigger than cabsec salaries?
14:02 Well, many of the cybersecurity, maybe a low of 200,000 a month.
14:09 That's right. Because there are 2 million job openings for cybersecurity experts in the country.
14:14 Many businesses have moved online since the pandemic,
14:17 so the public also moved online, which is not a waste of money for scams.
14:22 These employers, they're not after your diploma.
14:25 Once they see that you have talent, even if you're just a grade school graduate, not a high school graduate, they won't fire you.
14:32 The practice of cybersecurity in the hands of the government and private individuals, as part of the National Cybersecurity Plan,
14:39 was approved by DICT by President Bongbong Marcos Itong Martes.
14:42 Aside from the online scammers, the government agencies are also targeted by the hackers,
14:47 as part of the OASOWO and the President's own website.
14:53 As for the servers in China, China has shown that they do not approve of it and has sought help in the investigation, according to DICT.
15:02 Despite this, DICT does not approve that the servers are connected to the signal out in the West Philippine Sea.
15:08 Anything is possible. In cyber investigations and in analyzing all of this, we never rule out anything.
15:16 For GMA Integrated News, Ivan Meyrina, your Saksi.
15:21 Dominic Roque defended Bea Alonso's bashers amidst the issue of their separation.
15:33 Dominic shared a social media reel of their sweet moments together.
15:38 He accompanied it with the caption, "She's a beautiful person inside and out."
15:43 Dominic also called for an end to the hate and negativity against Bea.
15:48 Dominic did not comment on the issue of separation and did not express his opinion.
15:54 In the past few days, since December, the South West Ice Lump has been flooded by volcanic eruptions.
16:02 Their establishment and the water pipes in the area are affected.
16:06 The water supply for more than 20,000 residents is also affected.
16:10 The lava stream is only one kilometer away from their geothermal power plant.
16:15 The authorities are continuing to build structures so that the lava does not directly reach the houses.
16:21 Swift be alert!
16:27 Even Rose of the K-pop superstars Blackpink is jamming to Taylor Swift's concert in Japan.
16:34 And Carla Abellana's defense against those who stole pre-loved items that she sold online.
16:40 This is the Saksi of Aubrey Carampello.
16:44 Kapuso star Carla Abellana has an appeal against those who stole her pre-loved items that she sold online.
16:52 Some netizens said that the price did not match the quality of the items she sold.
16:57 Carla's defense.
16:59 To be honest, I would sell something much less than how much I got it for, right?
17:06 Especially because of her condition, it also depends on that.
17:11 For the actress and her fresh start, letting go of some items that others can use.
17:18 This Valentine's Day, is she ready for a fresh start in dating?
17:24 I don't want blind date, I'm not comfortable with blind date.
17:26 But dating, my goodness, I wouldn't say that I'm open to it.
17:31 But I don't want to think about it too much.
17:34 Not that I'm blocking myself.
17:37 But there are people who feel it.
17:38 There were before, but now it's not that much.
17:41 I don't know where they are.
17:43 She's her own boss now because Lisa has her own agency, Blackpink.
17:49 She named it LOUD to showcase her vision in both music and entertainment.
17:55 She also invited fans to join her in her newest and exciting journey.
18:00 Back then, the label of Blackpink, YG Entertainment, said that the group renewed their contract for their group activities.
18:07 But not for their solo activities.
18:11 Blackpink member Jennie was the first to launch her own agency for her solo projects.
18:17 And speaking of Blackpink, Rose confirmed her swifty after attending Taylor Swift's concert in Tokyo, Japan with her friend.
18:36 According to Rose, it was the best 10 minutes in Tokyo while jamming to the 10-minute version of All Too Well by Taylor.
18:44 For GMA Integrated News, Obly Carampel is your witness.
18:49 A mister who has a mistress in his house booked on CCTV.
19:00 Caught, but not jailed.
19:02 Why?
19:03 Because what he got from his love is considered a part of their family.
19:09 This is our witness.
19:11 Who is that?
19:12 This video of a man in Quezon City is viral.
19:20 It's already 10 o'clock in the evening but he was seen on CCTV with a mistress in his garage.
19:25 His ex-wife caught him.
19:29 We were still in the house so there was a CCTV.
19:33 I just checked and saw that he was flirting.
19:39 Marjorie immediately told her cousin.
19:42 I told her that your husband is flirting with someone in the garage.
19:46 I caught them flirting.
19:49 It's like he doesn't have a camera in his mind.
19:52 He's kissing.
19:53 I'm just being cold.
19:54 So I just went to him.
19:56 I'm just being cold to him.
19:57 He's so manly.
19:59 He immediately went to his wife.
20:01 Who are you talking to?
20:02 Who are you kissing?
20:03 But when they saw the video, it wasn't just a woman.
20:07 It was their fur baby, Jose's partner.
20:12 I kicked him.
20:14 I kicked him first.
20:16 That's Balmont, a 1 year and 5 months old golden retriever.
20:21 When they saw the video, we just laughed.
20:25 Jose's son is like their dog.
20:27 He often goes out and cuddles them.
20:30 Balmont is a good boy.
20:32 He likes to play with the kids.
20:34 He's just shy when we're together and he's naughty.
20:39 He doesn't want to eat when he sees us.
20:42 When Jose cried, his wife shouldn't have done anything.
20:45 Because apart from Balmont, he doesn't have anyone else to cuddle.
20:49 They reminded other fur parents.
20:52 Love your pets.
20:55 They will always repay you for your love and care.
20:59 Thank you for watching.
21:05 I'm Arnold Clavio.
21:07 I'm Pia Arcangel for a bigger mission and a wider service to the country.
