00:07 Live from the GMA Network Center, this is 24 Horas.
00:12 [Music]
00:15 Good evening, Luzon Visayas and Mindanao.
00:19 There is another shocking and shocking news
00:22 that a transgender is accused of jokingly going to the beach.
00:28 The victim's ears, nose and mouth were bleeding.
00:31 According to a witness, but she did not immediately go to the hospital.
00:35 The court continues to call for justice against the two suspects
00:39 who were charged.
00:41 Mark Salazar is on the case.
00:43 [Music]
00:46 Melinda Bayabay is going through a severe confusion
00:50 while the brutal killing of her only child,
00:57 Shaina.
00:58 Shaina, a 29-year-old transgender,
01:01 was the victim of the brutality of her own friends.
01:05 She went to the beach at night when her friends were drinking.
01:09 Then, what happened to her, she went home the next day.
01:13 When she got home, she was already drunk.
01:16 She told me that she just drank a little.
01:20 On March 1, the five friends drank together in Barangay Pineda, Pasig City.
01:25 According to the two witnesses who are standing witness to this case,
01:30 they were joking when Shaina accused one of the two suspects.
01:35 The victim accused the one suspect who is not LGBTQ.
01:41 She is 21 years old.
01:43 She is now being punished by the LGBTQ.
01:46 She doesn't want to be punished.
01:47 So what the LGBTQ did based on the testimony of the witnesses,
01:51 is that she licked the victim until she could barely breathe.
01:56 So instead of licking the one suspect,
02:00 she even hit the victim.
02:05 According to the testimony of the witness,
02:07 blood came out of Shaina's ears, nose, and mouth after the beating.
02:13 Shaina was still home.
02:15 But after three days, her head ached severely
02:19 and she was sent to the hospital.
02:22 On March 7, Shaina passed away.
02:25 Just this morning, Pasig City Police filed a homicide case
02:29 for the two beatings of the victim.
02:31 One of our suspects is also LGBTQ.
02:36 One is 26 years old.
02:38 The other is 21 years old, unemployed.
02:41 We cannot say who is the one who is being punished.
02:45 But based on the testimony of the witness,
02:49 she was really helped to be punished.
02:52 Melinda is very consoled that the suspects were already convicted.
02:56 She will not stop until the charges are not used.
03:00 But she will first take care of the child.
03:03 I want justice for my child.
03:05 What you did to my child is painful.
03:08 For GMA Integrated News, I'm Mark Salazar.
03:12 "Nakatutok 24 Hora."
03:15 Pastor Apollo Quiboloy challenged the lawmakers
03:19 to debate on any issue but outside the Congress.
03:23 He said he will not be involved in the hearing of the camera tomorrow
03:26 on the issue of the smnay franchise.
03:29 "Nakatutok" by Mahab Gonzalez.
03:32 A letter was sent to the Kingdom of Jesus Christ founder,
03:38 Pastor Apollo Quiboloy.
03:39 He said he will not be involved in the hearing of the camera tomorrow
03:43 on the investigation of the House Committee on Legislative Franchises
03:47 on the violation of the franchise of the TV network, SMNay,
03:50 where Quiboloy is the honorary chairman.
03:52 According to Deputy Speaker and Quezon Representative J.J. Suarez,
03:56 the presence of Quiboloy in the hearing is important
03:59 because they believe that it will help in the committee's decision.
04:02 You know, this SMNay, whenever they appear,
04:05 they always emphasize the truth and the right.
04:09 So if the truth is right,
04:12 then come here and share what your opinion is.
04:19 Why are you afraid? Why are you hiding?
04:23 In front of former President Rodrigo Duterte and some vloggers last night,
04:27 Quiboloy said that he will not face Congress
04:30 where the fight is not fair
04:32 because he can be contempted and jailed by lawmakers.
04:35 Quiboloy's challenge to lawmakers is that they can debate any issue but outside of Congress.
04:41 For now, Quiboloy was contempted and arrested by the Senate Committee on Women and Children
04:46 because of several times that Quiboloy insisted on attending the hearing.
04:50 But Senate President Ming Su Miri allowed the senators to wait until tomorrow
04:54 that it is also being reversed by the spread of 8 signatures.
04:58 For now, only 4 have signed.
05:00 Even if our friend, even if he is kind to our family,
05:04 if the accusation against him is for rape,
05:10 abuse to children,
05:12 for rape,
05:14 and whatever else,
05:18 shouldn't we, as a Senate, face that person in the committee?
05:23 I think the answer to that is yes.
05:26 For GMA Integrated News,
05:28 Mav Gonzales was arrested for 24 hours.
05:31 Not even a week in his position,
05:35 but the Ombudsman suspended the new officer-in-charge of the National Food Authority or NFA
05:40 in connection with the investigation of the false sale of NFA rice.
05:44 And in the middle of expensive rice, a group has a problem.
05:47 Mackie Pulido was arrested.
05:49 The family of Arnold Virola has been selling NFA rice for more than 4 decades.
05:57 This was stopped by the prohibition of the rice tariffication law
06:00 when selling NFA rice to the families in 2019.
06:04 But now, the rice is very expensive.
06:06 Many of his suppliers are still looking for NFA rice.
06:10 They have an option to buy.
06:12 Especially the poor ones.
06:14 That's what they're looking for.
06:15 Even until now, they're still looking.
06:16 The group that guards the rice said,
06:18 if it will not be trashed,
06:19 suspend the provision in the law that NFA is prohibited from selling to the family.
06:25 It came out in the hearing in Congress that NFA sold the old stock
06:29 for P25 per kilo
06:31 when the price of rice was P70 per kilo.
06:36 The disposal that was given to some traders was wrong
06:41 given that the majority of Filipinos are looking for cheap rice.
06:47 The NFA still has 88,000 bags of 155,000 bags
06:52 that were sold to rice traders since November 2023.
06:56 The NFA Council will have an emergency meeting
06:59 to discuss what to do with these bags.
07:02 But the Department of Agriculture or DA said
07:05 that they will return the money to the traders
07:07 and auction the old stock.
07:10 It should be released to these agencies.
07:14 If they don't want to do it,
07:17 for whatever reasons,
07:20 they can auction it.
07:22 The DA, Congress, and Senate Blue Ribbon Committee
07:26 are investigating the alleged sale of unsold rice
07:29 to the 8 million bags of old stock from 2019.
07:34 The Ombudsman is also suspended by the new NFA OIC,
07:38 Piolito Santos,
07:39 and another official is in charge of the investigation
07:44 of the sale of rice buffer stock.
07:46 Agriculture Secretary Francisco Chu Laurel
07:48 is the new OIC of the NFA.
07:51 For GMA Integrated News,
07:52 Mackie Pulido reporting for 24 Hours.
07:55 Happy Monday, Kapuso!
08:01 28 years and counting!
08:04 That's how solid the heart of comedy genius Michael V
08:08 renewed his contract with GMA Network.
08:11 Mackie Chica, Nelson Canlas.
08:14 Mola kay Tatalino.
08:17 But when it comes to comedy,
08:19 number one is still Pinoy.
08:21 Ina Moran.
08:22 Are you excited?
08:23 Maybe you're nervous.
08:25 Mr. Asimo.
08:26 There's a hole in the channel.
08:27 Blood is coming out.
08:28 It's stuck.
08:29 Bonggambongbo.
08:31 Sumbong, sumbong, ke bonggambong, gangbongbo.
08:34 I'm on a break.
08:35 Don't talk to me.
08:36 And other characters and impersonations.
08:39 He's still laughing because his contract with GMA Network
08:44 renewed.
08:46 For 28 years,
08:51 Bitoy has been dishing out his brand of comedy.
08:55 I asked him how it was when he first started comedy.
09:00 Does it always happen that way?
09:02 That you get what you want?
09:04 When I first started, it wasn't that much.
09:06 But maybe it comes with experience.
09:10 So as time goes by,
09:12 you get what you want.
09:14 I hope I get what I want for the coming years.
09:18 Leading the contract renewal,
09:20 GMA Network Inc. Chairman Atty. Felipe El Gozon,
09:24 President and CEO Gilberto Artuabit Jr.,
09:27 EVP and CFO Felipe S. Yalong,
09:30 Entertainment Group Senior Vice President Lilibet G. Razonable,
09:34 and other officials of Kapuso Network.
09:37 His wife and manager, Carolina Bonagan, is also with Bitoy.
09:42 He's proven it.
09:44 For more than 28 years, he's been appearing on his shows.
09:48 Do you know of any show that Bitoy didn't rate?
09:51 That's the reason and that's my evidence.
09:55 In fact, if there is somebody who surpasses all audiences,
10:01 whether they're old or young,
10:04 it's Bitoy.
10:06 So I've been waiting for a long time.
10:09 Thank you, Bitoy, again for signing up with GMA.
10:12 He's one of the talents who really contributed to the success of the network.
10:19 As I said earlier, comedy is a genre that no one can beat in GMA.
10:25 As Bitoy said earlier, he doesn't see himself anywhere else.
10:31 And his entertainment career will continue here.
10:37 So it's fun to listen to.
10:40 I was 27 years old when I started in Bubble Gang.
10:43 I've been there almost half of my life.
10:46 What is your message to your 27-year-old self?
10:49 Calm down. It's going to be okay.
10:52 Never lose sight of your objective.
10:58 And persevere.
11:01 I was an over-thinker before.
11:03 Especially when it comes to comedy.
11:06 Just calm down. Your time will come.
11:10 Your time to shine will come.
11:12 Nelson Canlas, updated on Shoebiz Happening.
11:15 A ship sails while sailing in the Gulf of Aden.
11:20 After the missile attack of the rebelling group Hoodhi.
11:23 According to the Indian Navy, they helped save the Liberian flag of the ship MV MSC Sky 2.
11:31 No one was injured or killed in the incident.
11:34 The passengers of the ship were also saved.
11:36 And an update on another ship attacked by the Hoodhi group with a Filipino passenger.
11:40 According to the Department of Migrant Workers,
11:42 tomorrow, 11 Filipino crew members will return home from MV True Confidence.
11:50 Two Filipinos are still being monitored by the condition, so they will be left in the hospital.
11:55 The salvaging operations will continue so that the 12 Filipinos who were injured in the accident can return home.
12:02 Again, some lawmakers have enacted that the only economic provision is the amendment to the Charter Change.
12:11 In his statement in the plenary in the House of Representatives,
12:14 the people who are supporting Chacha in the Senate will ask the President to help convince the Senators.
12:22 Jonathan Andal was there.
12:24 The Charter Change was announced in the plenary in the House of Representatives.
12:32 Let us stand together and show our support by voting even more than the required three-fourths vote to show our overwhelming unanimity.
12:43 It was only two steps before Chacha was fully in the camera.
12:47 For 37 years, our constitutional train was under the tunnel, a black dark tunnel.
12:55 Today, Mr. Speaker, there is a bright light at the end of the tunnel.
13:01 Those who are supporting the amendment will be convinced that there is no last minute change in the Charter and that only economic provisions will be amended
13:10 to open the industries of public utilities, education, and advertising for the country's economy.
13:17 This will help to increase the number of farmers, especially according to a lawmaker,
13:22 one of the Philippines' biggest in ASEAN, if we talk about the foreign direct investment that entered in 2022.
13:29 The RBH 7 will be debated in the plenary from today until Wednesday,
13:35 the day it is expected to vote on the second reading.
13:39 The target is to pass it before the Congress takes a break next week.
13:44 So the ball will go to the Senate where the counterpart resolution of RBH No. 6 is being held at the committee level.
13:52 Four Senators said they agree with it.
13:54 Eight need to be cleared of the Charter.
13:59 That's why the chairman of the Senate Subcommittee on Constitutional Amendments will ask President Bongbong Marcos
14:03 to convince the Senators who voted in favor of the Charter.
14:06 Asking for a little bit too much of the President because given that the President has already mentioned it many times, his position.
14:13 I appeal to my colleagues in the Senate,
14:17 there will never be a better time than now to amend the economic provisions of the 1987 Constitution.
14:28 For GMA Integrated News, Jonathan Andal, Katutok, 24 Hours.
14:33 There is a permission from the Vatican to consider a woman from Ilocos Norte as a saint.
14:42 In a letter, the Dicastery for the Cause of Saints permitted the initiation of the investigation of the Diocese of Lawag
14:49 on the reputation and holiness of Nina Ruiz Abad.
14:53 According to the CBCP or Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines,
14:57 Nina's devotion to the Eucharist is great.
15:00 She was still alive then.
15:02 She also served as an inspiration to the whole province.
15:04 Nina was born at the age of 13 due to cardiac disease.
15:08 The process for the beatification and canonization of Nina will begin in St. William's Cathedral in Lawag.
15:15 My fellow Filipinos, we are now in the second week of March,
15:24 but the cold winds are still blowing.
15:27 The hope in Northern Luzon is still there and it will continue to bring not only cold weather but also rain.
15:35 The Easterly is also still in the country.
15:39 According to the weather forecast, it will rain in Central Luzon tomorrow morning.
15:44 It will continue to rain in the afternoon and evening and it will also rain in Northern Luzon.
15:49 In Visayas, it will also rain in Leyte Province in the morning.
15:53 By the afternoon, the whole of Visayas will be raining,
15:57 particularly in Cebu, Bohol, Negros, and Samar provinces.
16:01 In Western Mindanao, it will be raining in the morning.
16:05 There will be heavy to intense rains, so be prepared for the possibility of flooding or landslides.
16:11 By the afternoon, the whole of Mindanao will be raining.
16:15 Here in Metro Manila, the weather is unpredictable,
16:19 but the chance of localized thunderstorms is still there, so be prepared to bring an umbrella.
16:28 22 companies from the US are promised to raise a billion-dollar investment in the Philippines.
16:34 Microsoft and Google also expressed their interest in the country.
16:38 That is the joint effort of Marie Zumali and Ivan Mayrina.
16:42 Even though Germany is being pushed,
16:48 President Bongbong Marcos still has time to face the delegation of the Presidential Trade and Investment Mission of the US in Malacanang.
16:55 This is the result of the US President Joe Biden's agreement to visit the US in May of last year.
17:01 Even though he is not yet the third largest trading partner of the Philippines in America
17:20 due to the almost 20 billion US dollars of merchandise trade between the two countries,
17:24 it is also the largest export market and is being brought by the products of the Philippines.
17:29 Now, the President is urging the US to focus on the projects for infrastructure,
17:36 which will benefit from the use of the roads and bridges, water and agriculture, health and digital connectivity.
17:42 These will benefit the Filipinos and will make their jobs easier.
17:47 Speaking of export, since our primary export is semiconductor computer chips,
17:52 we will benefit from the new law in America that will fund research and manufacturing.
17:57 128,000 Filipino semiconductor engineers and technicians
18:01 will be able to work in this sector by 2028.
18:05 This is the first US Presidential and high-level trade mission in our country.
18:11 US Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo is with the executives of 22 American companies
18:18 that promised to invest a billion dollars in the Philippines
18:23 and will create an educational opportunity for the 30 million Filipinos in different areas.
18:30 Priority areas of President Marcos, solar energy, electric vehicles, digitization, telecommunications,
18:39 in the form of digital upskilling, AI upskilling, digital training.
18:45 And we're announcing a new airline route, opening up travel and tourism
18:49 to the beautiful beaches of Cebu, among other projects.
18:53 A stronger partnership between the US and the Philippines
18:57 cements our position as an economic force.
19:00 This position benefits our country and the 45s are standing as an ally of the United States.
19:09 This morning, there was a discussion to deepen the public-private partnership between the two countries.
19:16 Even the tech giants Microsoft and Google expressed their interest in our country.
19:21 We encourage the mission to explore more participation in infrastructure development
19:27 through the President's Build Better More program,
19:31 as well as to take a closer look at our priority sectors,
19:38 such as semiconductors, electronics, and the food and agriculture production industries.
19:46 And of course, our big push now for green minerals.
19:51 For GMA Integrated News, I'm Maryse Umali.
19:54 Ivan Mayrina, for Tutok, 24 hours.
19:57 A young man was chosen to be the presidential appointee
20:02 by the local partner of Miru System, who won in the bidding for the acceptance and counting of votes in the 2025 elections.
20:11 But Miru and Comelec signed a contract when that happened.
20:15 Sandra Ginaldo, for Tutok.
20:17 The contract for the Full Automation System with Transparency Audit Count, or FASTRAC, for the 2025 elections was signed
20:29 between the Commission on Elections and the joint venture led by Miru Systems of South Korea.
20:36 It was signed by the Korean Ambassador to the Philippines, Lee Sang-hwa.
20:40 The contract includes the rent of automated counting machines,
20:45 as well as the use of ballot box, ballot paper, ballot printing, and more.
20:49 Next, Comelec will issue a Notice to Proceed for the production of machines in South Korea.
20:56 This is in the middle of a continuous questioning of some people about the credibility of Miru.
21:01 According to Deputy Minority Leader, ACT Teacher's Party's Representative, Franz Castro,
21:07 the manipulation of Miru machines in the past elections in Congo and Iraq
21:12 is a risk to the election system in the Philippines.
21:17 Miru replied that they have shown their machines' performance in the natural countries.
21:24 The young party's representative, Raul Manuel, also said that
21:28 one of Miru's local partners, Integrated Computer Systems, was led by a businessman
21:35 who was appointed by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. as a private representative in the LEDAC,
21:41 or Legislative Executive Development Advisory Council.
21:45 He did not name it, but he called it the head of the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry, or PCCI.
21:52 So if the contracts are favored by those who are inside the government,
22:04 it is hard for our citizens to trust.
22:09 We asked Integrated Computer Systems President George Barcelon about this.
22:14 He confirmed that he was appointed by the President of the LEDAC,
22:17 an advisory body that gives advice to the President for the policies that will help the economy.
22:23 But he explained,
22:25 It's not a position wherein the role is involved in the decision-making.
22:36 My role in the LEDAC is to hear the side or comments from the private sector, that's all.
22:44 Our involvement in this COMELEC bid is just the IT platform.
22:51 Our company is not here to do with the whole operation of the election process.
23:00 The Supreme Court also denied the petition of Smartmatic,
23:06 which questioned the disqualification of COMELEC from joining the Automated Election System bidding.
23:13 They asked for a temporary restraining order from the Supreme Court.
23:17 Despite this, COMELEC denied that they are fully prepared for the election of 2025.
23:24 I told them that there is a Republic Act 9369, which we call electoral sabotage.
23:30 If there is an irregularity of the vote of more than 10,000, that's life imprisonment and non-bailable.
23:40 I told them that I don't want to be imprisoned there.
23:43 We wanted to have the most proper election in 2025,
23:48 a credible and reliable election in 2025.
23:52 And I told them that if they want to participate in the next COMELEC procurement,
23:58 they should arrange the 2025 elections.
24:02 When the Mirror Systems cried,
24:04 We could promise, we could guarantee that we'll be transparent all the way throughout the process.
24:10 We'll abide by the rules of the COMELEC of this nation, of the Philippine nations.
24:15 Our goal also is to build up our company and to expand.
24:21 We were looking for the future, so we will not do anything that will jeopardize our future
24:26 and also the election process of the Philippines.
24:29 For GMA Integrated News, Sandra Aguinaldo, 24 Hours.
24:35 The condition and the deafness of a child in Samar is critical.
24:41 Four dogs have already been fed.
24:43 A group of people reminded the owners of the animals to avoid such situations.
24:50 Salima Refran was on the spot.
24:54 In the crowd of people, it is almost unrecognizable that this two-year-old girl
25:00 was fed by four dogs in Calviga, Samar.
25:03 She is now critical in the hospital.
25:05 The left ear of the child was also saved and the flesh on the ear was removed from the bite of the dog.
25:12 On Saturday afternoon, the child's nurse was supposed to go to work.
25:16 But the child was taken to a pigsty where she was fed by the dogs.
25:21 The mother of the child also saw her.
25:24 The owner of the dogs promised to help and will pay the hospital expenses.
25:46 The owner of the dogs promised to help and will pay the hospital expenses.
25:50 The owner of the dogs promised to help and will pay the hospital expenses.
25:53 The owner of the dogs promised to help and will pay the hospital expenses.
25:58 The owner of the dogs promised to help and will pay the hospital expenses.
26:03 The owner of the dogs promised to help and will pay the hospital expenses.
26:08 But how should the dogs be cared for?
26:12 Should they be allowed to be free in their place or should they be tied up or imprisoned?
26:18 Under the Anti-Rabies Act of 2007, we should make sure that our pets are inside their houses,
26:29 inside their cages, and if they go out, they should be tied up or on a leash.
26:37 It is also important to ensure that they are vaccinated against rabies.
26:40 Animal welfare groups are also reminding us to stop the dog's rape.
26:46 It is very important to stop the dog's rape.
26:50 Of course, they will not be allowed to be free and those animals will not be allowed to be free.

27:05 A rider was on his way home after crashing into a car when he was counter-floating on Skyway Stage 3.
27:11 Aside from the victim, he was also not allowed to bring his motorcycle on the expressway.
27:16 Watch Ian Cru's story.
27:19 The cars were running normally on Skyway Stage 3,
27:26 when suddenly, a car crashed into the city.
27:33 A motorcycle was the one who counter-floated and crashed into a car on the northbound of Skyway Stage 3.
27:40 According to the statement issued by Skyway,
27:43 the rider came from Ibonifacio Avenue and climbed the off-ramp of Skyway Northbound, which is located below the NLEX.
27:51 The rider tried to stop the car but it did not exceed the speed of the motor, which is 80 kph.
27:59 The speed of the car is only 60 kph on Skyway Stage 3.
28:04 The driver of the 150cc motorcycle fell to the ground due to the impact of the car.
28:10 It was found that the rider was drunk and was rushed to the hospital, but he also died after 12 hours.
28:18 We saw that he did not have a helmet that he was wearing during that time.
28:24 Did he have a license?
28:26 Allegedly, our rider did not have a license.
28:31 The driver of the car was injured.
28:34 In the right-of-way, the HPG still faced a complaint from the driver of the car in the Kansas City Prosecutor's Office.
28:43 But the Affidavit of Desistence of the Fiscal Year also denied the birth of the injured rider.
28:50 According to the authority, the motorcycles owned by Expressway are only 400cc tall and the rider's car did not fit in.
29:00 If the rider did not have an accident and was caught, he will also face a lot of complaints.
29:06 In Expressway, we have a specification that the motor should be 400cc above.
29:13 So, our rider, we saw that he was only 150cc, so he was not allowed.
29:24 Either way, what he did was not allowed because he did a counter.
29:28 He did not go in the lane.
29:30 GEMA Integrated News tried to get the driver's license, who was hit by the motorcycle, but he refused.
29:37 The rider's relative did not want to give an explanation that he was contacted by GEMA Integrated News through social media.
29:45 For GMA Integrated News, Ian Cruz, 24 Hours.

30:22 On his departure to the Philippines earlier, the president is expecting that his visit here will bear fruit when it comes to the field of economic cooperation and investment opportunities.
30:32 The mood is good.
30:35 President Bongbong Marcos is still in a good mood before he left earlier this afternoon for his fifth state visit this year to promote the country to the world.
30:44 In his statement before leaving, the president gave importance to the importance of labor cooperation in Germany and the Czech Republic and the priority of the protection of the rights of Filipino workers.
30:56 The president will also use this opportunity to discuss security.
31:00 We will underscore our unwavering commitment to strengthening partnerships with like-minded countries, promoting the rules-based international order which serves as a cornerstone of global peace and stability.
31:14 At the president's send-off, House Speaker Martin Romaldes and Vice President Sara Duterte met and shook hands.
31:22 There are 35,000 Filipinos who work, study, and are scholars here in Germany while 7,000 are in the Czech Republic.
31:30 Malacanang also gave, aside from the potential investment and economic agreements that the Philippines will get from the president's visits,
31:37 he also encouraged the invitations of leaders of Germany and the Czech Republic for the president to visit their country.
31:44 It's night time here in Berlin and the president is expected to arrive tomorrow to start his next activities.

32:02 The president will stay here in Berlin for two days and on Wednesday, he will fly to Prague for his state visit to the Czech Republic.
32:10 That's the latest from the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin.
32:13 For GMA Integrated News, Rafi Tima, 24 Hours.
32:18 Thank you very much, Rafi Tima.
32:25 Ms. World 2013 Megan Young apologized after being hit by a part of her hosting stint in the 71st edition of Ms. World.
32:33 Let's talk to Nelson Canlas.
32:35 Grateful and nostalgic for Ms. World 2013 Megan Young for returning to the Ms. World stage a decade after winning the title.
32:46 At this time, as a host, she said her performance on stage was an emotional trip for Ms. World Coronation in Mumbai, India this weekend.
32:55 Many congratulated Megan for her pageant hosting stint.
32:59 But there were some objections to Megan's arrangement.
33:02 In the hair of Botswana's candidate, Lecego Chombo, some commented that Megan did something unethical, racist and prohibited in the belief of Africans.
33:13 Megan said in a post, she just wanted to help but she didn't see the bigger picture.
33:19 It could have caused distress at that time.
33:22 She said that what she did was culturally unacceptable.
33:26 She apologized to Lecego in private.
33:31 She apologized to the audience and if it caused discomfort or confusion in what she did.
33:38 She said that she did it thoughtless and disrespectful.
33:43 She has no intention to enter the personal space or make anyone uncomfortable.
33:50 She will try to be more careful in the future.
33:53 In Lecego's social media post, she thanked everyone who raised concerns about her.
33:59 However, she is not happy that someone is being disrespectful to her.
34:04 She called for "Be kinder" not only to Megan but also to the victims of Miss World 2024, Christina Piscova of Czech Republic.
34:14 Nelson Canlas updated on Shoebiz Happenings.
34:18 Who would have thought that there is still a family living in Cueva.
34:23 This is the situation of a family in Batangas and they have been there for a decade.
34:28 Paul Hernandez of GMA Regional TV reported for Southern Tagalog.
34:34 In the middle of the new structures and houses, there is a house in Batangas City that is looking for a home.
34:44 If you look outside, it is just a normal house.
34:47 But this house is another Cueva.
34:50 This is where we used to live. This is where we have our garage.
34:56 My children used to live in a room above.
35:03 This is my father's house.
35:05 I have a partner.
35:09 I sell things.
35:11 Mang Rufino moved here in 2012 when he left his children.
35:16 He has been living here with his new family.
35:20 He put his things in the Cueva and painted some parts.
35:24 But the small and hot situation inside the Cueva is noticeable.
35:29 It is not clear how long it is.
35:31 But it is believed that it is hiding in the riverbed.
35:35 According to the Batangas City Engineer's Office, it is not a normal house.
35:40 It should be polyvalent.
35:42 There are windows, doors, and supplies of facilities like water.
35:48 There is clean water.
35:50 Not just water, but clean water.
35:52 There is electricity.
35:54 We are not sure about the type of rocks or soil that can penetrate that area.
36:01 If Mang Rufino is the one who will ask, he wants to leave the place.
36:05 He does not want to see his son growing up in a small village.
36:08 The case is...
36:09 I don't know if I will be able to survive. Because I have a family, I want my son to have a place to live.
36:14 I can give him a house, a house of his own.
36:19 I am happy that I will be able to move my son.
36:24 When the story of Mang Rufino reached the Batangas City Engineer's Office,
36:28 he was immediately called to show the housing project that they can move.
36:33 The LGU is still asking Mang Rufino's family to move.
36:37 We see to it that we are not just moving the family, right?
36:41 The family also needs to know that we will transfer if it is okay for them.
36:46 Maybe there are people who are close, but he is not.
36:49 He is a father and he is a child.
36:51 Mang Rufino was given a number for the unit.
36:54 And if the family can make a decision,
36:57 the case will be brought to the house of Mang Rufino to move to the housing project.
37:01 For GMA Integrated News, Paul Hernandez of GMA Regional TV, Balitang Southern Tagalog,
37:08 "Nakatutok 24 Horas."
37:10 The MMDA is now encouraging the implementation of the ban on e-vehicles on national roads.
37:21 Joseph Moro is in favor.
37:23 I think the city is implementing its bike lane program, right?
37:30 We are not stopping it.
37:32 Do we have an objection to that?
37:34 But it is included in the list, right?
37:36 You are forcing the EDSA to close a road portion of EDSA.
37:44 Imagine how tight EDSA is.
37:46 In response to the consultation of the Metro Manila Development Authority or MMDA,
37:52 the ban on e-trike, e-bike, and tricycle on national roads has been lifted.
37:56 The MMDA is now encouraging the implementation of the rules and regulations or IRR on the ban.
38:02 But the group of commuters asked not to implement it yet.
38:07 Aside from the recent consultation on the ban,
38:10 the ban is being violated by the Electric Vehicle Industry Development Act or EVDA law
38:14 that promotes the use of e-vehicles.
38:17 It's really resisting the shift that our current development plans and policies are aiming to see.
38:23 Why are e-bikes and e-trikes being used and said to be unsafe?
38:29 According to the MMDA, e-bikes are being used in accidents more and more.
38:33 The number of accidents tripled in 2019 compared to the number of accidents in a year.
38:37 But the group is still insisting that there are more other vehicles.
38:41 Yeah, they're definitely not as dangerous as MMDA is claiming.
38:45 If you compare it really to the amount of road crashes that are attributed to private four-wheeled cars,
38:52 it's so much more.
38:53 The MMDA is continuing the ban on April 15.
38:57 The resolution of the Department of Interior and Local Government or DILG
39:02 that prohibits tricycles on national roads is being implemented.
39:05 It's increasing the number of tricycles on the entire Metro Manila.
39:08 They're not prohibiting them from going out.
39:13 It's just that there are certain roads that are not really allowed.
39:19 Imagine that they're only allowed to run for a maximum of 25 kilometers per hour.
39:23 Some of them run for 60 or 80 kilometers per hour.
39:25 What if they're not noticed?
39:27 If the ban on light electric vehicles like e-trikes and e-bikes is implemented on April 15,
39:34 anyone who crosses national roads will be fined P2,500.
39:40 Your vehicles can also be towed or impounded.
39:44 But some e-bike enthusiasts ask, what about national roads that have bike lanes like EDSA?
39:51 It should be treated the same.
39:53 Pedal-assist bicycles only have technology.
39:55 I hope they can issue a follow-up statement or clarification that is well categorized.
40:01 The e-bikes that are allowed on the bike lane should still be classified as bicicleta, meaning pedal-assist.
40:09 MMDAs in the IRR will also consider the group's suggestions in the IRR.
40:15 We can't do anything about it. It's a government policy.
40:18 We need to follow it.
40:20 Avoid the prohibited roads.
40:24 I will still use the minor roads.
40:27 Let's not pay. That's a problem.
40:29 For GMA Integrated News, Joseph Morong, for 24 Hours.
40:35 Black Rider star Rio Locsin clarified the true story of the viral video of her crying
40:41 even though a scene in the shooting of the program is over.
40:45 The lead star of this series, Dudu Madrid, also called to stop spreading fake news.
40:50 Let's talk to Lars Santiago.
40:52 The camera is in the tent and stopped rolling.
41:03 But the veteran actress, Rio Locsin, still can't stop rolling.
41:11 That's after the scene in the top-rating action series in GMA Prime, Black Rider.
41:22 Next, the news came out that the actress had a hard time breathing and there were no medical staff on set to take care of her.
41:32 The actress was shocked when they found out that there were no medical staff on set for Black Rider.
41:39 There is no neglect in what happens on set of Black Rider.
41:43 We have medical staff, we have ambulances, we have security officers.
41:49 I was taken care of on set. There was no untoward incident.
41:54 There was a medic and an ambulance that were on standby and helped.
42:00 But she said that she didn't need a medic.
42:03 That's all. No medical issues. I wasn't attacked by a snake. I don't have a snake.
42:09 I also didn't have an anxiety attack. Nothing like that.
42:13 That's all. The set is really heavy.
42:16 To clarify, she wasn't immediately affected by the high emotions in the scenes they shot.
42:24 Since she's already in the 4th scene, my emotions are already too high.
42:29 When it comes to the 4th scene, I can't stop her even after the scene.
42:34 Ruru was saddened by the spread of fake news.
42:38 It's impossible that there are no medics on set because we don't know what can happen to us during the time we're working.
42:48 At the same time, aside from the medics, we have police on standby.
42:56 We also have firefighters on standby.
42:58 One day, Ruru, who was sometimes helped by the medics on set, got injured during a stunt.
43:10 She called for the spread of fake news to stop.
43:17 Later that night, Elias and Calvin's terrible fight shouldn't be overlooked.
43:24 Played by John Lucas.
43:26 They'll face their fate in the falls.
43:29 They haven't been able to survive yet.
43:32 Finally, this is what many are waiting for.
43:35 Their fate.
43:36 Another thing Ruru is preparing is the Canada tour of Sparkle on April 5 and 7.
43:44 She's here with her girlfriend, Bianca Umali,
43:48 Team Barda, Barbie Forteza, and David Licauco,
43:52 and Julie Ver, or Julian San Jose, and Raver Cruz.
