00:00 [Music]
00:07 Live from the GMA Network Center, this is "Breakout Horas."
00:12 [Music]
00:15 Good evening, Visayas and Mindanao.
00:19 [Music]
00:20 The authorities have confirmed that the new Chinese Coast Guard's harassment of the Philippine Coast Guard's ship.
00:28 The incident is being considered as a "transparent" or "public" harassment.
00:34 The harassment happened after the fishermen were given aid in Bajo de Macinloc.
00:41 Joseph Moro was also there.
00:43 [Music]
00:46 In Bajo de Macinloc or Scarborough Shoals in Zambales,
00:49 the fishermen have been fishing for a week or a month.
00:52 The fishermen were very happy to learn that they thought that the Chinese Coast Guard's ship was a Philippine Coast Guard's ship that was going to deliver groceries to them.
01:01 When I saw the Philippine Coast Guard, I was shocked.
01:06 I was happy because I found out that I have a friend.
01:10 But after receiving aid, the Chinese Coast Guard harassed our Coast Guard.
01:15 Not only did they harass and harass, but they also crossed a Chinese ship in front of the BRP Teresa Magbanua.
01:23 At one point, it almost crossed the BRP Teresa Magbanua.
01:27 These are the actions that violated the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea or Call Reg.
01:32 There is another Chinese ship that is anchored in Bajo de Macinloc.
01:36 There is no new statement from China.
01:38 But the former officials said that our government has done a wrong thing.
01:42 China's statement that it has a sovereignty in Bajo de Macinloc and that it is illegal for a Philippine ship to enter the Philippines.
01:49 You should see the waves during high tide within 200 nautical miles or 370 kilometers from our coast.
01:58 That is part of our exclusive economic zone.
02:01 That is the name of the zone that we call the West Philippine Sea.
02:04 For the National Task Force on the West Philippine Sea,
02:07 it is important to show the public through the Transparency Initiative what is happening in the West Philippine Sea
02:13 so that the spread of misinformation about this can be corrected.
02:17 It is said that despite the Philippine-China agreement in Shanghai this January,
02:21 tensions in the West Philippine Sea were lowered.
02:24 For a maritime security expert, even if there is such an agreement,
02:28 the Philippines should not abandon the display of what China is doing.
02:33 And in those discussions, if China says to you, "We don't like the pictures.
02:39 We think the pictures are creating problems for us."
02:43 On one hand, you can think, "Okay, well, maybe we can talk about that."
02:46 But on the other hand, you want to think, "Those pictures give the Philippines leverage."
02:50 You always have to measure China's words by its actions.
02:53 The task force is just part of the continuing engagement with China.
02:58 It's part of the diplomatic track.
03:00 No, definitely not.
03:03 But as I said, you know, Joseph, this is a measured transparency.
03:08 At the end of the day, it's always about the national interest.
03:11 For GMA Integrated News, Joseph Morong has been on the air for 24 hours.
03:15 More than 60 people were found dead in the Maco-Davao de Oro flood.
03:22 The hope of the families of the missing people is still not fulfilled.
03:26 But the Coast Guard is already targeting someone else.
03:30 The latest situation there was targeted live by Argyle Relator of GMA Regional TV 1 Mindanao.
03:37 Argyle.
03:38 Vicky, in the continuous search for the bodies of the recovered bodies from ground zero of Barangay Masara,
03:46 the incident commander will recommend that they be targeted for retrieval or search for the bodies.
03:54 Angel, Angel.
03:57 The alleged miscarriage of this child who was found dead in the Maco-Davao de Oro on Friday
04:04 is also being prayed for by the family of the missing person,
04:08 who is 25 years old, Joseph Fernandez,
04:12 an employee of Apex Mining, who was left without a vehicle by one of the found bodies.
04:18 We are praying for him. We are worried about him.
04:26 We hope that we can find him soon.
04:30 Joseph's girlfriend is also losing hope.
04:34 The landslide happened six days ago.
04:38 The landslide is about 40 percent.
04:40 The landslide was caused by a landslide.
04:42 He was just alive.
04:44 According to the latest reports of the authorities,
04:46 no less than 68 people were killed in the landslide.
04:50 32 people were injured and 51 people were lost.
04:55 The search, rescue and retrieval operation is still difficult.
04:59 But aside from that, the target of the landslides is also challenging,
05:02 like the five bodies that were found on ground zero.
05:05 They recognized the facial identity of the victim,
05:10 but later on, they could not identify him.
05:14 So we rely on the secondary parameters.
05:18 We examined him for 10 minutes for fingerprint,
05:22 identification cards, jewelries, deformities in the body, and tattoos.
05:31 Meanwhile, after the search and rescue dog of the Coast Guard, Apa,
05:36 was able to return to the search for the bodies.
05:40 Three more Sardogs of the Coast Guard will be deployed the next day.
05:45 According to the local government of Mako,
05:48 the residents were given a relocation site after the 2008 landslide.
05:53 But they did not monitor the reconstruction of the structures in the area.
05:58 They are now looking for a safe place for the new relocation site.
06:03 Insofar as the vision to have them relocated,
06:07 the vision that that area is not going to be occupied again,
06:12 we will be firm on that.
06:14 We cannot allow anybody there to occupy again that ground zero.
06:20 The Mines and Geosciences Bureau promised to speed up the assessment
06:24 of the proposed relocation sites.
06:26 We have a pool of experts now ready to be dispatched to look at proposed relocation sites.
06:32 Meanwhile, the operation of Apex Mining is still ongoing,
06:36 which is only a kilometer away from the power plant.
06:40 It is more dangerous if it is stopped.
06:43 There will be flooding if we do not operate the facilities.
06:48 There will be an accumulation of gas, so it is unsafe again.
06:53 Vicky is now looking for a relocation site,
06:59 the local government of Mako, which is looking for a temporary and permanent shelter
07:04 for the residents affected by the flood in Barangay Masara.
07:08 Vicky.
07:09 Thank you very much, Arjun Relator of GMA Regional TV 1 Mindanao.
07:14 In the continued discussion of the Senate on the amendment of the Constitution,
07:19 a former Associate Justice insisted that it seems that the laws are not understood by some leaders of the country.
07:24 The foreign ownership is now gone. The charter change is no longer needed for Rihanna.
07:29 Ian Cruz is on the case.
07:31 The opening of the economy to foreigners is often the opinion of those who support the amendment of the Constitution.
07:40 But according to the Senate hearing of the former Supreme Court Associate Justice Antonio Carpio earlier,
07:45 even if the Constitution is not amended, there are already laws passed to open the economy to 100% foreign ownership.
07:53 There appears to be a lack of understanding by our national leaders of the extent of foreign ownership under the law of businesses in our country.
08:02 Among the proposed laws are the Retail Trade Liberalization Act and the Public Services Act,
08:07 which is now being questioned by the Supreme Court if it is in accordance with the Constitution.
08:11 According to one of the signatories of the Public Services Act, this is enough to allow foreign investment.
08:18 We are open to foreign investors.
08:21 We have made great strides in the past years liberalizing our economy without compromising our national security or leaving behind Filipino businesses.
08:32 Despite Carpio's insistence that the law does not stop foreign investments,
08:37 the current currency is expensive, which is second in Asia and second in Japan.
08:42 The regulations are also difficult, like the high number of permits for the construction of factories, and the transportation and infrastructure, such as roads and roads.
08:53 But through the Department of Trade and Industry, the regulations on the ownership of the businesses are still tight.
08:59 There is a negative correlation between FDI performance and these regulatory restrictions.
09:06 And of course, the more open you are, the higher the FDI inflows.
09:13 Although there are some countries that support the removal of economic restrictions from the Constitution,
09:18 the removal of economic restrictions would facilitate increased foreign direct investment in sectors where such investment is currently restricted.
09:27 there are also other countries that are concerned about the consequences of the heated debate.
09:32 We got some calls from some of our members following the news and the political debate about how this might unfold.
09:42 There is some uncertainty out there.
09:44 One of the framers of the 1987 Constitution, Dr. Bernardo Villegas, pointed out that we should focus on the struggle.
09:53 We do not need to amend the Constitution. We should have a single-minded focus on the scandal that we have 21% of our population living in dehumanizing poverty.
10:05 All of our neighbors in Southeast Asia have single-digit poverty incidence.
10:10 The hearings will continue. Public hearings in Cagande, Oras, Mindanao and Cebu, Visayas are also possible.
10:17 For GMI Integrated News, Ian Cruz, Nakatutok, 24 Horas.
10:21 The House is ready to take action.
10:25 Following the discussion in the Senate, the changes in the Constitution will be discussed.
10:31 The time is running out for the changes in the economic provisions to be implemented.
10:37 Chino Gaston, Nakatutok.
10:39 The House is already waiting for the resolution of both Houses, No. 6 of the Senate.
10:46 It is time to pass the resolution. The time is running out for the changes in the economic provisions to be implemented.
10:57 Following the passing of the resolution, the Constituent Assembly will be formed to discuss the changes before it will be endorsed by the Commelec and the decision of the people through a national plebiscite.
11:10 We need to do this now and we can't waste time when it comes to amending our Constitution.
11:17 After the Senate acts and the House will meet and assuming we agree in everything, you will still have to do a plebiscite.
11:27 You're talking about 2027 and 2028. And we all know by 2027-2028, everybody is preparing for the presidential elections already.
11:38 Congressmen refused to bully the senators because the People's Initiative to amend the Constitution was stopped.
11:47 The Senate and House should stop the action.
11:52 Although we have some disagreements with respect to the urgency or the deadlines,
11:59 but at least we can now have the poison in the atmosphere is no longer there.
12:09 We will stick to healthy and democratic debate.
12:15 For GMA Integrated News, who won the vote? 24 hours.
12:20 Because of the various bomb threats, the government's class and work in some agencies is suspended.
12:29 The government declared the threats as hoaxes or fake news.
12:32 But according to the PNP, their work is also responding to the threats that are being repeatedly made by a person named Tunog Dayuhan, who is a friend of Mark Salazar.
12:46 The bomb threat that was received today is left and right in various places.
12:50 In some young towns, the deaf-ed class had to be suspended because of the bomb threats.
12:56 Students were forced to leave school by their parents.
13:01 Others had asynchronous classes.
13:04 Police and canine units also went around.
13:08 In Olongapo, the government's operation of arrest and all the delay in the school was suspended after their management information systems received the bomb threat through email.
13:21 Although some government national agencies also received the bomb threat.
13:26 The Department of Environment and Natural Resources Central Office also received the bomb threat this morning.
13:33 That's why the employees went out first.
13:35 Just yesterday, they said that the bomb threat was a hoax.
13:40 Although this had been circulating, it's a hoax. But it's our job. We have to respond appropriately and accordingly.
13:49 It's better to do that rather than ignoring it totally.
13:55 A hero named Karasawa is being introduced repeatedly in this case.
14:01 The same name, that of Karasawa.
14:05 Although this had been the third time already that this bomb threat had used the name.
14:16 But of course, we cannot really ignore it.
14:19 It's very unfortunate that we have to send, in some instances, we have to suspend classes because of this kind of threat.
14:26 In the investigation, the email containing the bomb threat was strongly believed to be from abroad.
14:32 We tried to coordinate with other countries because it's not only happening here in our country,
14:40 it's also happening in the different agencies of the government and even outside our country.
14:45 So we are coordinating there.
14:47 Justice Secretary Crispin Rimulya also ordered the NBI to investigate the email containing the bomb threat.
14:54 He has no intention of spreading pranks and threats to the public.
14:59 DOJ also warned those behind the bomb threat that it will not be consented and that those who have a right will be chased and punished by the law.
15:09 For GME Integrated News, Mark Salazar, 24 Hours.
15:16 President Bongbong Marcos introduced the bravery of the soldiers who fought in the Daula Islamia Mounting Group last month
15:25 during his visit to the Army General Hospital in Taguig.
15:28 The President awarded the medals to four Wounded In Action Soldiers.
15:33 They were also included in the 12 soldiers who received special financial assistance.
15:38 The President also personally asked to give credit to their bravery and dedication.
15:43 The Philippine Army met on January 25 and 26.
15:47 The Daula Islamia Mounting Group in Llano del Sur, where a member of a terrorist group was killed by the military,
15:54 was confirmed by the Armed Forces of the Philippines, which included Daffy Mimbesa, alias Engineer.
16:01 He is one of the group's leaders and the head of the bomb squad at Mindanao State University last December.
16:10 The Comandant's officials' airplane from China was intercepted by a radio challenge and was flying to Pagasa Island.
16:17 The island was denied by the officers for the new round of voter registration that will be held nationwide.
16:25 Live from Palawan, Sandra Aguinaldo was on the scene.
16:29 Sandra?
16:30 Yes, Mel. The voter registration has already started nationwide.
16:38 And to give you a sense of its importance, Commileg Chairman George Erwin Garcia went to Pagasa Island in Palawan.
16:47 The delegation of the Commission on Elections to Pagasa Island in Palawan traveled to the headquarters of Chairman George Erwin Garcia
16:58 on the first day of voter registration nationwide.
17:01 Long live Pagasa Island! Long live Palawan!
17:05 Together with Commileg Commissioner Ernesto Macena Jr., Commileg was tasked with registering 50 additional voters of the island.
17:15 Many of them are registered voters of other places who are now moving to Pagasa Island.
17:20 Even though there are only more than 500 voters here in Pagasa Island, Commileg wanted to show the importance of registration
17:29 and the importance of giving to Pagasa Island as a part of our country.
17:34 That's why, they say, the importance of voting for their voters is profound.
17:40 As a teacher here, it is a great honor to teach here in Pagasa Island.
17:46 And I am even more proud to be a voter of Pagasa Island.
17:50 Participation, choosing a leader, fighting for this island.
17:56 Commileg should prove that we can go to any part of our country.
18:02 This is a Philippine flag. There is no doubt about that.
18:06 Although Pagasa Island is located outside the 200-mile Exclusive Economic Zone of the country,
18:12 it is a part of the Municipality of Freedom in Palawan.
18:15 The AFP-Western Command assured its security, especially since some artificial islands of China are surrounded here.
18:24 China also challenged the airline that Commileg is flying before it landed in Pagasa.
18:30 We are fighting for the activities of Commileg here in Pagasa Island.
18:37 This is a proof that this is our Pagasa, our freedom, and the West Philippine Sea.
18:45 Even senior citizens were early to register their new voters
18:50 and those who will be moving to Commileg in Manila.
18:54 Satellite registration sites are also expected in malls and some schools.
18:59 There is already one in Dagupan City National High School for the youth to register.
19:05 But more people chose to register in Commileg.
19:09 In Commileg, Batangas City, the small space of their residence became a problem
19:15 that needs to be elevated because it is located on the second floor of the house.
19:19 It is estimated that 3 million voters across the country can register to vote in the 2025 National and Local Elections.
19:29 Anyone who is 18 years old or older can enter on the day of the election.
19:33 A resident of the Philippines who is not younger than a year and a resident of the place where he/she wants to vote for 6 months.
19:40 Just bring an identification document such as National ID, Postal ID, Student ID, Senior Citizens ID, Driver's License, and others.
19:50 All of our countrymen, more or less 3 million of you, our countrymen abroad, more or less 10 to 12 million of you.
19:58 I hope we can register as one voter.
20:06 Mel, the registration of Commileg is extended until Saturday from 8am to 5pm for more people to register.
20:15 That is the last news from Puerto Princesa, Palawan.
20:19 Thank you very much, Sandra Aguinaldo.
20:23 And good news for motorists, the price of oil will be lowered starting tomorrow after the next price hike.
20:31 The price of gasoline will be 60 cents per liter, and the price of diesel will be 10 cents.
20:38 The price of kerosene will be reduced to 40 cents per liter.
20:43 According to the GMA Integrated News Research, the price of gasoline in Metro Manila will be around 56 to 78 pesos.
20:52 The price of diesel will be around 53 to 67 pesos, and the price of kerosene will be around 72 to 84 pesos.
21:02 The effect of the rising oil prices is more severe than expected.
21:07 Aside from the farmers, there are also some fishermen affected, so some fish are caught.
21:13 Marie Zumale was on the news.
21:18 Some fishponds in Bangui, Ilocos Norte are drying up due to the effects of El Niño.
21:23 The depth of the water is so deep that it's just up to the knee, so it's too early to go fishing there.
21:30 Due to the lack of supply, some fish are expensive in General Santos City Public Market.
21:37 Some fish are being sold at a discount, while others are being sold as "rejected fish" because it's cheap.
21:46 It's cheap because they're being sold at a price of 220 to 200 pesos.
21:52 They're selling cheaply, like RG, like what they're doing.
21:58 According to the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, the drying up of fishponds is negatively affected by El Niño.
22:05 The land-based fishpond system will be affected.
22:10 They're more vulnerable to the low water level because it's hot.
22:16 And there's a possibility of fish mortality because the dissolved oxygen level in the fishponds can drop.
22:22 To avoid this, BIFAR has a plan that is being followed by fishermen.
22:27 We need to follow the good aquaculture practices.
22:31 This means that we should put the right amount of fingerlings in our fishponds.
22:37 BIFAR also said that the operation of mariculture parks or fishponds in the sea or fish cages will be expanded
22:44 because they're not affected by the hot El Niño.
22:47 Due to the limited supply of fish in the market, BIFAR reminds us to ensure that the fish we buy is fresh.
22:55 The eyes should be clear and not red.
22:57 The fish should be red.
22:59 When you touch the fish, the fingers should not be too soft or soft.
23:04 And it should not smell like rotten fish.
23:06 For the GMA Integrated News, Maris Umali, 24 Horas.
23:10 Dear listeners, in our first episode, the strong wind is blowing again in some parts of the country.
23:21 That's why the weather is getting colder.
23:24 This morning, Baguio City recorded 12.8 degrees Celsius, 14.1 degrees Celsius in Basco, Batanes,
23:32 while 17.8 degrees Celsius in Tanay, Rizal.
23:36 Aside from Amihan, the northern part of Southern Luzon and Visayas is also affected by the shear line.
23:42 Based on the data of Metro Weather, it's possible that there will be rain in Calabarzon, Mindoro Provinces,
23:48 Palawan, Camarines Provinces, Catanduanes, and Sorsogon.
23:52 There will be heavy rain, so residents should be alert.
23:56 There is also a chance of rain in Aklan, Negros Provinces, Central Visayas, and even in Samar and Leyte Provinces.
24:04 In Mindanao, compared to last week, the rain will be reduced.
24:10 The possible experience of scattered rain is only in Misamis Occidental, Caraga, and Navajo Region,
24:16 as well as in some parts of Soxargen.
24:19 The chance of rain in Metro Manila is low tomorrow,
24:22 but there is always a chance of rain even if there is sudden rain.
24:27 Along with the harvest of those who are looking for their loved ones,
24:31 this Valentine's Day, the harvest of businessmen who are riding the day of their hearts.
24:37 The sales of flowers, gifts, and even gayuma were strong.
24:42 It was made by Dano Tinkugo.
24:48 From the promos in some establishments to the stores,
24:52 love is in the air two days before Valentine's Day.
24:57 Here in Dangua, Manila, you will be surprised by the large selection of flower arrangements,
25:03 which are more expensive than last week.
25:06 Some vendors said that whenever this happens, their supply is really high.
25:12 This is what the supply really gets.
25:15 Flowers are really happy, especially for women,
25:19 when they are given even a small piece of flower.
25:23 You think it's really important.
25:25 The lovers Blesa and Anne even came from Batangas.
25:29 It's a different feeling when you are given a flower, especially when it's fresh.
25:34 It makes you feel special.
25:38 It's worth it, even if it's only 1,000 pesos.
25:41 According to Nestor Castro of the UP Department of Anthropology,
25:44 Valentine's Day is not like Christmas,
25:46 where the martyr Saint Valentine was remembered for his death
25:51 and brought to the Philippines by the Americans.
25:54 But back then, this was not yet considered a business.
25:57 During the American colonial period,
26:00 Valentine's Day love letters were already popular.
26:05 In the 40s and 50s, Valentine's cards were already popular.
26:11 You would send it to your lover, husband, or lover.
26:17 It was just like that until it gradually evolved.
26:24 From greeting cards, love was slowly being shown,
26:30 like food and chocolates, teddy bears, and flowers.
26:34 In today's context, peer pressure is a big contributory factor.
26:40 Especially in social media.
26:43 You see someone posting something,
26:47 and they have a date with you,
26:51 and you feel bad about it.
26:55 So, there was a pressure that even if it's just for one day,
27:00 I have a date.
27:01 The modernization of Valentine's Day was driven by business.
27:06 Even the old beliefs of some Filipinos, like being attached to a woman.
27:11 In the past, you would buy two or three.
27:14 Now, they say you need it.
27:16 If you really love someone, you will do everything for them, right?
27:22 Even if it's not Valentine's Day.
27:25 Although Valentine's Day helped many businessmen.
27:29 When I was in college, I would get a salary here.
27:32 I would pay for the bills.
27:35 An expert will remind you.
27:37 The substance of Valentine's Day,
27:40 showing love,
27:43 love is not always about material things.
27:47 You can do it by being friendly,
27:52 helping others,
27:55 in a way that doesn't require spending.
27:59 For GMA Integrated News,
28:01 Dano Tincunco, Nakatutok, 24 Hours.
28:04 The former anchor of GMA Balita, Mike Lacanilao,
28:08 turned 88 years old.
28:11 He was confirmed when the house of the Executive Minister,
28:14 Francie Castaneda Lacanilao, was re-established.
28:17 Mike served as the co-anchor of GMA Balita,
28:20 one of the programs of the GMA Network in the 1990s.
28:24 He also became the president of the Phoebus College of Bible
28:27 from 1976 to 1982.
28:30 There will be a joint memorial service for Mike
28:34 tomorrow at the Green Hills Christian Fellowship in Ortigas.
28:38 There will also be a wake viewing at Sukat Paranaque on Thursday, February 15,
28:43 before he is brought to his final resting place on Friday.
28:47 President Bongbong Marcos and Vice President Sara Duterte have no problems.
28:54 According to the vice president, she is in Malaysia for some help.
28:58 Marisol Abduraman is live.
29:01 Marisol?
29:02 Mel, Vice President Sara Duterte arrived here in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
29:10 for an important visit.
29:12 Here, she answered some of the issues.
29:15 Oh, we have no problem with each other.
29:22 President Bongbong Marcos and I are doing good.
29:27 We are okay in terms of our relationship.

30:30 Politics is like a living thing. You don't know what will happen tomorrow.

31:55 At the same time, Tito Boy also answered the complaint of Beya Alonzo
31:59 to those who confirmed their breakup with Dominic Roque without consent.
32:04 Let's talk to Nelson Canlas.
32:06 Yes, Dominic and Beya are separated.
32:12 After a few days of talking, Beya Alonzo and Dominic Roque confirmed that they agreed not to continue their marriage.
32:22 The decision was not easy.
32:24 They wanted more time to think and pray, but there were a lot of widespread speculations, questions, and even insults.
32:35 Some also confirmed that they will separate without consent or permission from them.
32:41 Others also said baseless and false statements, so they spoke for their peace of mind.
32:49 We listened to Boy Abunda's reaction.
32:52 One of the last to report that the separation was based on his source,
32:56 who was also called to be careful of speculations.
33:00 He said that it was in line with the joint statement of Beya and Dominic.
33:05 There is a reason to react to the statement, but I'm not going to do that now.
33:10 Because I realize that people involved in this controversy are going through pain.
33:20 It's painful to be separated. It's painful to be in that situation.
33:28 Even pain deserves respect.
33:31 And I choose to be quiet.

33:58 We are happy that he renewed his contract with us. And I saw the respect he received from the artists.
34:06 Not only from GMA, but also from other channels.
34:12 It's heart-warming to see the ratings.
34:17 It's just a proof that with Boy, yes, the answer is yes.
34:22 We look forward to many more years. We are thankful to Boy for his trust.
34:27 GMA SVP Atty. Annette Gozon Valdez and other officials of Kapuso Network also arrived.
34:34 The artists of Sparkle are getting closer to people because they can see who they are,
34:41 what is interesting to them, and the things that they don't know, they are able to show in a way that is fun.
34:49 We're very happy with the performance of Fast Talk.
34:52 We're very, very happy that Kuya Boy is still a Kapuso.
34:57 What kept me going from the very beginning was my unflinching belief in the power of the interview.
35:06 So I still learned a lot. How can I encourage my mom, dad, and Kapuso to watch, to have something new to watch.
