06:42 The highest price of 24 pesos was paid for each kilo of tomatoes.
06:45 It costs rice, beef, garlic, and calamansi.
06:49 The reason seen by the Sinag group is...
06:52 "Last time, there were many farms that got damage on 23 December and January.
06:57 So now, it has decreased. But we think that by March, the price will be normalized."
07:04 The Department of Agriculture said that the price of tomatoes is not high because of the insufficient supply.
07:11 "Although there are some places affected by the rain,
07:14 here in Nueva Ecija, there is a reduction of the area where tomatoes are planted."
07:19 And the price of rice may also be cheaper, just like in the world market.
07:23 In the Sinag group, even if each kilo of rice reaches 58 pesos,
07:28 there may be people who will buy 47 to 48 pesos of well-milled rice.
07:33 The price of the Department of Agriculture is 44 pesos to 46 pesos.
07:38 On the other hand, onions, sugar, and oil are cheaper.
07:41 Here in the Kadiwa Market in Quezon City, red onions are sold for 50 pesos per kilo.
07:47 White onions are 35 pesos per kilo.
07:51 But according to the Sinag group,
07:54 the farm-grip price of onions may drop to 10 to 15 pesos per kilo.
07:59 According to the DA, the number of farmers who planted onions increased when the price of onions dropped.
08:04 So the supply also increased.
08:06 "If there are market linkages, it will tie up with Kadiwa
08:12 and hopefully with other farmers in Southern Tagalog."
08:19 But the Sinag group said that the smuggled onions are affected.
08:23 "We saw that there was an entry that there is no SPSIC.
08:28 They should catch the peak of onions by March.
08:32 So we are afraid that the price of onions will drop to 10 to 15 pesos per kilo.
08:39 It should go back to 30 pesos to 33 pesos so that the farmers will have a little income."
08:46 For GMA Integrated News, Bernadette Reyes, your witness.
08:50 Next Sunday, the Committee of the Whole will convene
08:55 to discuss the amendment to their economic provision of the 1987 Constitution.
09:00 Earlier this afternoon, the resolution of both Houses 7 should have been heard on camera.
09:06 But on Tuesday, House Majority Leader Manix Dalipe will be visited by the resource persons.
09:12 It is said that the RBH 7 will be discussed faster in the Committee of the Whole
09:16 instead of the regular hearing of the Committee.
09:19 Congressmen are hoping that the RBH 7 will be approved before they go on vacation for the Easter week on March 23.
09:27 According to Senate President Migs Zudiri,
09:30 it would be better if the resolution of both Houses 6 of the Senate will be adopted by camera.
09:37 The Philippines is leading in Asia in the number of cases of tuberculosis in 2023, according to the World Health Organization.
09:47 In the middle of that, the country was placed in the first TB summit.
09:51 The country is eager to become TB-free before 2035.
09:56 Oscar Oida is a witness.
09:58 Before we get nervous about COVID-19,
10:03 tuberculosis or TB is really a worry,
10:06 especially if the tumor has not healed for a long time,
10:10 has a blemish or blood, and has other symptoms.
10:14 For children, for example,
10:16 it has been more than two weeks, more than two weeks, there is a symptom that cannot be identified,
10:22 that what is the origin or what is the cause, it is causing, it is spreading.
10:27 It is deadly but it can be treated.
10:30 That is why the country is still in the lead in Asia in the number of cases of tuberculosis in 2023.
10:40 And it is the fourth in the world, according to the World Health Organization.
10:45 According to the data collected by the Health Department in 2022,
10:50 6 in every 1,000 Filipinos have TB.
10:54 12 to 16 percent of those are under the age of 15, which is more difficult to identify.
11:00 It is more difficult to express signs and symptoms to children.
11:05 They cannot expect to rate, they cannot release saliva for us to confirm the presence of TB.
11:13 Most of them do not look at it even if they feel it because of fear of being caught.
11:20 The key to a high chance of recovery is early treatment.
11:25 If it is late, the infection will increase.
11:28 Remember, an untreated patient can affect 20 other additional persons.
11:34 So it is better to be early and not yet infected, it should be detected.
11:39 In the first TB Summit in the country of the Philippine Medical Association,
11:43 the participants were distributed to make the Philippines TB-free before 2035.
11:49 We need to focus on what we call the social determinants of health.
11:57 Where are the social determinants of health?
11:59 Like poverty, malnutrition, all the educational awareness that we need to focus on.
12:14 The new X-ray was also found at the summit that can help in the detection of TB
12:20 within a few minutes with the help of artificial intelligence or AI.
12:25 For JMA Integrated News, Oscar Oidang, your Saksi.
12:30 Senator Amy Marcos answered the banner of a congressman about the unpaid assistance of the four-piece because of the transfer of the senator of the fund.
12:40 According to the senator, in the discussion of the allocation of the fund of DSWD for 2023,
12:45 only 45 percent of the fund for the four-piece is being spent.
12:51 And because of this, he was recommended that instead of returning the 8 billion Pesos of the unused fund,
12:56 he should transfer it to another program of DSWD that can be easily fulfilled.
13:02 The Bicameral Conference Committee was also left out of the 5 billion Pesos that should be allocated to the Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situations or AICS because of the lack of funds.
13:13 It is possible that those numbers are the ones that some are confused about.
13:20 Comelec and its group tested the Miru Systems machine that can be used in the election of 2025.
13:29 Next week, we will know if the Miru Systems will pass the poll and become the only bidder for the vote counting machines.
13:37 Saksi, this is Sandra Aguinaldo.
13:43 In front of the chairman and commissioners of Comelec, the ability of the machine that can be used in the 2025 national and local elections was tested.
13:52 It is from the Miru Systems of South Korea that became the only bidder.
13:57 Some commissioners, election watchdogs, and some members of the media tried to use the machine.
14:04 Some tried to vote excessively, some tried to hide the ballot or put other marks to test what the machine will do.
14:15 Miru Systems also demoed the Direct Recording Electronic Voting Machine or the touchscreen machine that does not use physical ballot.
14:25 According to Comelec, the Special Bids and Awards Committee has a recommendation if the Miru Systems passed the poll.
14:33 You will know within this week if we will give the award to this one bidder based on the technical evaluation, post-qualification, and such other issues pertaining to this company.
14:47 If it passes, 110,000 automated counting machines will be supplied by Miru Systems to Comelec.
14:54 These will be done in South Korea, but the machines will be leased or rented by Comelec.
15:00 However, we cannot be compliant because when it comes to mass production, that is where there will be glitches.
15:09 So, what Comelec will do is, in the event that they get the award, we will focus on the production level and the customization.
15:18 The bids for the online voting and counting system that will be used in overseas absentee voting were also opened.
15:25 But the two bidders did not pass the Indra Soluciones Tecnologías de la Información and We Are IT Philippines, Inc. due to various reasons.
15:37 So, Comelec will release an invitation to bid where the two bidders can join again.
15:44 We can see that the problem is in the documents. We think they can cure this. They can still do it.
15:49 For GMA Integrated News, Sandra Aguinaldo is your witness.
15:55 [music]
16:00 Christopher Mien is here. He will not apologize for the things he did not say about Dominic Roque.
16:07 And the witness is Aubrey Carampeas.
16:10 [music]
16:12 Because their names are related to the issue of the political benefactor, Dominic Roque,
16:19 former Congressman Bong Suntay and Dapitan City Mayor Bullet Halus-Hos studied the filing of the case.
16:28 According to Suntay,
16:29 Bullet also wants to file. I'm talking to my lawyers also on what we could do.
16:37 We're just gathering whatever we could find. I cannot name exactly against who.
16:43 Of course, we want to file the strongest case. When you file a case, you want to win.
16:49 I'm also a lawyer and I want to know who is the most guilty.
16:54 The former congressman has been friends with Dominic for a long time and he was wrong to get him as the brand ambassador of Gasolinahan.
17:03 In an interview released by his lawyers for Dominic,
17:07 the comments of the showbiz columnist Christopher Min were said to be malicious and offensive in his blog.
17:13 There was a continuous rise of the wrong suspicion of Suntay's sexuality.
17:19 In his program earlier,
17:21 Min said that when the issue of the separation of Dominic and Bea Alonso started,
17:26 Min San did not mention the name of Mayor Bullet even though he initiated it.
17:32 He also said that Suntay is Dominic's benefactor.
17:36 Min was wondering why Suntay and Halosos were interviewed about the issue.
17:42 Because of this, he did not ask for forgiveness or pardon for the things that he did not say.
17:50 We are still trying to get the reaction of Dominic and Mayor Bullet.
17:54 For GMA Integrated News, Obri Karampelang, your witness.
18:05 The Singapore grant was given to the international pop star Taylor Swift to perform there.
18:11 And the cast members of Avatar, The Last Airbender,
18:15 who is here in the Philippines, have a message for their Filipino fans.
18:19 Our witness.
18:20 Dream come true for Joe Berry.
18:26 His birth as a lawyer in the upcoming Kapuso Afternoon Prime Series
18:32 with Lilette Matias as Attorney-at-law.
18:35 If I didn't become an actress, I would be a lawyer now.
18:41 Joe's plan is to fulfill his dream of becoming a lawyer for his late father.
18:48 I want to be able to help others.
18:51 I also want to make a small difference when it comes to people with dwarfism.
19:01 And people with disabilities.
19:03 For now, Joe is busy with the series that he has prepared well.
19:09 From observing in the courtrooms to watching legal dramas.
19:15 In the Philippines, the two are in the cast of the live action adaptation of Avatar, The Last Airbender.
19:25 Happy to be back home, the Filipino-Canadian actor Gordon Cormier, who is now a celebrity.
19:34 It has been amazing. I'm back in my homeland. Filipino right here.
19:39 It's nice to be back home. I haven't been here in a while because of COVID.
19:46 So it's really nice. Got to see my family.
19:49 Dallas James Liu is making his first appearance as Prince Zuko.
19:56 The two are fighting for their role in the series.
20:01 They are besties off-cam.
20:04 They are overwhelmed that the series is a big hit here in the Philippines and the following of the Avatar series is huge.
20:11 Sometimes you forget how big of a project this really is and how much it means to the world.
20:17 So coming here and getting to interact with some of the fans and talk with people, I just feel even more grateful to be a part of this journey.
20:25 Message to the Filipinos out there, we love you. Go for it.
20:32 Are you ready for it?
20:34 This March is the 6-day sold-out concert of Taylor Swift in Singapore, part of her Eras Tour.
20:44 According to the Singapore Tourism Board and Culture Ministry,
20:49 they gave a grant to an international pop star to perform in the country.
20:56 But they did not disclose the importance of the grant.
20:59 They believe that Taylor's concert in Singapore will be a huge benefit, especially to their tourism.
21:09 For GMA Integrated News, I'm your host, RR Santiago.
21:16 A car wheel was found in Lipa City, Batangas.
21:23 The car was 3 meters long and was still moving.
21:28 The man was caught by the police and was put inside a broken washing machine.
21:34 The car was also taken by the police and the police station.
21:40 The car will be taken to their rescue center in Calawan, Laguna to be taken care of.
21:44 And the car will be taken to the natural habitat.
21:48 The heat of love shown in Canada is not cold as ice.
22:01 The confession of feelings was done in the snow.
22:06 The cold never bothered me.
22:08 The man's peg was done by the M+J Forever,
22:14 in the middle of the iconic Giant Heart in a park in Toronto.
22:17 Toronto was under the Winter Weather Travel Advisory for several days because of the snow.
