NewsTranscript
00:00 As the PUV consolidation deadline approaches,
00:03 some PUV drivers and operators suddenly recovered their franchise from the consolidation.
00:10 But withdrawal is difficult due to the overwhelming memorandum in this process.
00:16 And Maris was able to make it.
00:18 A driver-operator named Roberto Antolin,
00:24 among those who consolidated the franchise of Jeep,
00:27 which is a successor to the Jeepney Modernization Program,
00:29 but after two months, he wants to recover his franchise.
00:34 We asked for P5,000 for the hearing.
00:42 Now, they're telling us that P2,000 for a month for the fund.
00:49 I was embarrassed when they asked for the original papers of Jeep.
00:55 I said, "This is not good because I'll lose my life if I give it."
01:01 Members of the transport groups Pistón and Manibela
01:04 gathered at the office of the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board or LTFRB
01:09 to submit the petition for the recovery of the franchise from the consolidation.
01:14 It was signed by almost 100 PUV drivers and operators.
01:18 All the drivers who entered the consolidation were given a waiver by the management agreement
01:29 that clearly states that the franchise is given to a consolidated entity.
01:35 That's what we're refusing.
01:37 We will lose our rights as operators.
01:39 Under the LTFRB Memorandum,
01:41 only those who have not yet received a Consolidated Certificate of Public Convenience are eligible for withdrawal.
01:48 But Pistón insisted that the franchise should still be given a chance even if the consolidated franchise has already been issued.
01:55 Pistón also said that the detailed guidance in the memorandum on the withdrawal process is not enough.
02:01 That's why many operators are confused.
02:03 President Bombo Marcos will remember to approve the deadline for the consolidation of the PUV
02:09 from December 31, 2023 to April 30, 2024.
02:14 If the franchise is not consolidated, the PUV will be considered as a colorum and will not be allowed to pass.
02:20 And now that the April 30 deadline is approaching,
02:23 Pistón still calls for the recovery of the mandatory consolidation.
02:27 They say that they are not against modernization, but that it should be rehabilitation only.
02:32 Now, it's a massive transfer that they will steal and give to corporate monopolies,
02:39 to foreign investors. That's the modernization that we are refusing.
02:45 We can modernize.
02:47 We are still trying to get the reaction of the LTF-RB on this.
02:51 But as of January 2024, 73.9 percent of the public utility jeepneys and 82 percent of the UV Express have already applied for consolidation.
03:02 For GMA Integrated News, Maris Umali, for Tutok, 24 Hours.
03:06 The resolution that will change the economic provisions of the Constitution has already passed the House of Representatives.
03:13 The resolution has already passed, as well as the proposal to restore the franchise of SMNI.
03:17 Tina Pangaliban Perez was able to speak live.
03:19 Tina.
03:21 Emil, the resolution of both Houses No. 7 for the economic charter change has already passed the House of Representatives.
03:32 It was approved by the votes of 288 yes, 8 no, and 2 abstain.
03:38 The number of yes votes exceeded the 232 votes or 3/4 votes of the House of Representatives that are required by the Constitution.
03:46 The House of Representatives version will be transmitted to the Senate.
03:49 Some congressmen are expecting that there will be questions on the constitutionality of the economic charter in the Supreme Court.
03:56 That is why they prefer to wait for the approval of the Senate on their version of the resolution of both Houses No. 6.
04:05 With the approval of RBH 7 on third and final reading and its subsequent transmission to the Senate,
04:14 we stand on the cusp of realizing a more open and robust economy.
04:20 Our citizens clearly call for more work.
04:27 This is only possible if more business will enter our country.
04:32 Emil, the resolution of the franchise of Suarez Submedia Corporation to operate SMNI has already passed the House of Representatives,
04:45 where the Honorary Chair is Pastor Apolo Q. Buloy. 284 congressmen voted yes in the Senate, 4 no, and 4 abstained.
04:55 The resolution, Emil, said the camera, is in favor of the management of the SMNI in terms of its franchise. Emil?
05:04 Thank you very much, Tina Panganiban Perez.
05:08 How many more allies will observe the Philippine and American exercises in the country,
05:15 including those from Japan, Australia, and France?
05:19 Aside from the West Philippine Sea, our Navy will strengthen its strength in Aurora, which is facing the Philippine Rise.
05:25 And Ian Cruz is on the line.
05:27 From the end of April to May, the Filipino and American soldiers will again practice the exercises.
05:38 But next week, US forces will enter the Philippines,
05:42 which the AFP will be able to support in the construction of facilities and health centers in Ilocos Norte,
05:48 Rizal, Palawan, and San Fernando La Union.
05:50 All of these will be funded by the United States.
05:52 And in Balicatan, along with the expansion of the Ilocos Norte area in the northern part of Luzon,
06:00 which is in the south of Taiwan, adjacent to China.
06:03 In terms of the number of participants who will be actually participating,
06:10 it will have to be the maritime strike, the sink exercise in Lawag.
06:15 11,000 American soldiers will be joined by 5,000 Filipino soldiers in Balicatan.
06:21 But there will also be observers from Japan, Australia, and France.
06:25 Proof of the group sailing or simultaneous navigation, outside 12 nautical miles from Palawan Island in the West Philippine Sea,
06:33 will include the navies of our allies.
06:37 The participants will be the Philippine Navy, the US Navy, Philippine Coast Guard, US Coast Guard, French Navy.
06:44 The Philippines is not thinking about what China will think about group sailing in the Philippines with other countries.
06:52 I mean I can go one meter beyond 12 nautical miles, I'm already in international waters.
06:57 So it does not really matter legally.
06:59 And I believe that we have a right to be there.
07:02 Aside from the West Philippine Sea, our defense will also strengthen the Eastern Seaboard.
07:07 That's why Defense Secretary Gilbert Chodoro visited the Navy's extensive facility in Casiguran, Aurora.
07:14 It faces the Philippine Rays, where for a short time,
07:17 there was a frequent presence of Chinese research vessel.
07:21 We will be developing Casiguran area to be able to host Philippine Navy and AFB forces
07:27 for projection towards the Eastern Seaboard that covers Benham Rays.
07:31 To provide our forces the capability to secure and to protect all the way up to the easy.
07:37 For GMA Integrated News, Ian Cruz, for Tutok 24 Horas.
07:46 Because of the drought in Cagayan and Isabela, farmers are worried that they might not have enough crops.
07:54 That's why GMA Capusul Foundation is here to provide help.
07:59 Enrile is a town in Cagayan, one of the top producers of peanuts in the country.
08:08 That's why they are called the peanut capital of the Philippines.
08:13 But the production of peanuts is possibly decreasing.
08:16 Because there are no more peanuts left for the farmers
08:20 because of the effect of the drought.
08:23 Just like Renato, who has been a farmer for three decades.
08:28 Our crops have no fruits.
08:30 In just one month, their leaves were already dry.
08:35 That's why we don't have any peanuts now.
08:39 Even the crops that are affected by the drought.
08:43 So to make it worth it, they feed the crops to the cows.
08:48 They only hope for rain to water their crops.
08:53 There are two barangays affected by the drought.
08:56 One of them is in Barangay Lanna, where the children of farmers are studying.
09:03 That's why we created a feeding program for 300 students.
09:09 Some farmers in San Agustin, Isabela, who don't have a dam, are also suffering.
09:16 They run off the river because of the water they get.
09:20 If the water from the source is really weak,
09:25 they can't water their area.
09:29 Here in Magat, we can also imbue water
09:34 to use for irrigation.
09:38 We have a total damage of 245 hectares.
09:43 Our farmers are hoping for rainwater.
09:47 As a help to the farmers,
09:49 GMA Capuso Foundation provided food packs
09:52 to 8,000 individuals from Cagayan and Isabela
09:56 and vegetable seedlings to their farmers.
10:01 For those who are interested in our projects,
10:04 you can deposit your funds in our bank accounts
10:08 or send them to Cebuana Lawalier.
10:10 You can also do it online via GCash, Shopee, Lanzada,
10:13 and Metro Bank Credit Card.
10:15 To all the Capuso fans,
10:20 we remind you again
10:22 not to be fooled
10:25 by the names of the GMA Capuso Foundation.
10:29 The posts about the scholarship program
10:34 of the GMA Capuso Foundation
10:36 are not true.
10:40 It is also not true that we are being given money.
10:45 Cash assistance is not included in our services.
10:49 We are doing everything
10:51 to stop these illegal activities.
10:54 Be careful and don't be fooled.
10:59 A two-year-old girl is being taken to the hospital.
11:04 After falling from a chair,
11:06 the mother refused to take her.
11:08 But her children are in doubt.
11:10 The girl was injured.
11:11 Mark Salazar was there.
11:13 The two-year-old girl is fighting for her life
11:18 in the intensive care unit of the hospital.
11:23 On Monday morning,
11:24 the mother of the girl was beaten by her grandfather
11:28 in the barangay hall of Pinagbuhatan, Pasig.
11:30 The girl fell from the sofa,
11:32 so she lost consciousness.
11:34 She was immediately taken to the hospital.
11:36 The next day,
11:37 the mother of the girl was blotted
11:39 by the desk of the barangay of Pinagbuhatan
11:41 Violence Against Women and Their Children, or VAWC.
11:45 I asked the grandmother
11:47 what time it happened.
11:49 She said it was 10 or 11 in the morning.
11:54 The father should have come in.
11:57 He said he was injured.
11:59 He said he should have come in.
12:01 We could have let him in.
12:04 Oh, it was the stepfather.
12:06 VAWC also went to the hospital
12:08 to clarify what happened.
12:10 He didn't tell us that he would complain.
12:14 If he would complain to the stepfather.
12:18 He didn't tell us.
12:20 He just said that he fell.
12:22 He fell from the sofa.
12:24 According to the mother,
12:26 she was not at home when her daughter fell from the sofa.
12:30 Her partner called her
12:32 to tell her what happened.
12:34 She sent a picture
12:36 that the girl was okay
12:38 around 10.30 in the morning.
12:40 But at 1 in the afternoon,
12:42 her partner chatted again
12:44 to say that the girl was taken to the hospital.
12:47 In VAWC's interview with AMAIN,
12:49 she claimed that she injured the child.
12:51 We also went to their house in Pasig.
12:55 But her mother came to us.
12:58 The child's condition is critical
13:00 and tonight, her biological father
13:02 left Lipabatangas
13:04 to see the child.
13:06 Her family doesn't believe
13:08 that the child fell from the sofa.
13:11 If he fell from the sofa,
13:14 it's not that serious.
13:18 He has a big bruise on his leg.
13:21 It looks like he was hit.
13:23 This is the story of the child's mother
13:25 to VAWC and the family of the biological father.
13:28 I asked him,
13:30 "If he fell from the sofa,
13:33 why is there a lot of bruises?"
13:35 He told me that he did something to the bruise.
13:38 He put it there.
13:40 If he put it there, it's not like that.
13:42 He put it there.
13:44 They said that the child's mother
13:46 and her partner will be charged.
13:48 It's time to get the result of the medical examination
13:50 of the victim.
13:52 The victim's mother is in ICU
13:54 and her phone was also turned off.
13:57 We were so worried to get her statement.
14:00 For GMA Integrated News,
14:02 Mark Salazar,
14:04 24 Hours.
14:10 Many people talked about the song "Selos"
14:13 by the famous Queen of Bangsa Moro Pop,
14:16 Shai Ramoro.
14:18 But because it's the first song
14:20 of an Australian singer,
14:22 "Selenka",
14:23 "Selos" is not on the streaming apps.
14:25 I'll tell you why
14:27 in "Chika Ni Katatibayan".
14:28 In her unique style of singing.
14:37 How many years have you been single?
14:41 And the lyrics of the songs.
14:43 Netizens immediately pointed out
14:45 the rising window of one singer,
14:47 Shai Ramoro.
14:49 Assalamualaikum.
14:51 Good day to everyone.
14:52 I'm Shai.
14:53 Her videos online
14:55 got millions of views
14:57 and thousands of likes and shares.
14:59 Shai was even more excited
15:01 when she released the hit song "Selos".
15:03 Instant LSS when you hear it.
15:06 And it even got on streaming platforms.
15:09 That's why
15:10 all hail to the Queen of Bangsa Moro Pop
15:12 or B-Pop.
15:13 But on social media,
15:15 Shai Ramoro's song got a lot of views.
15:17 Just like the song of the Australian singer,
15:34 Lenka, in 2008's "Trouble is a Friend".
15:37 A netizen posted it
15:58 on Lenka's Instagram account.
15:59 They agreed to take action.
16:02 They already made a plan for this.
16:05 Next, she announced her record label,
16:07 AHS Productions,
16:09 that they already released "Selos"
16:11 on all online streaming platforms.
16:13 They did this while they were still
16:15 in agreement
16:16 to get a cover license for the song.
16:19 They admitted that the melody they used
16:22 is from Lenka's song.
16:23 They are already working with Lenka's team
16:26 to make "Selos" an official cover version
16:28 of Lenka's song.
16:31 Kataatibayan updated on the showbiz happenings.
16:35 The battle is not over yet.
16:38 That's what the University of Perpetual Health System, Delta,
16:41 faced
16:42 after they made a comeback in Game 2
16:44 of NCAA Juniors Basketball Finals
16:47 against Colegio de San Juan de Letran.
16:49 The battle is hot.
16:51 Letran's squire is leading
16:53 in the first and second quarter.
16:55 But Perpetual Junior Altas didn't give up.
16:58 They were slowly catching up in the third quarter.
17:01 In the fourth quarter, the battle was close.
17:04 In the last quarter, Perpetual Junior Altas
17:07 won the final score of 91-90.
17:10 Since there's a winner in Game 1 and 2,
17:14 we'll find out who the champions are
17:17 in Do or Die Game 3
17:19 on Saturday, March 23,
17:21 at 9.30 am
17:23 at Phil Oil Eco Oil Center in San Juan.
17:26 You can watch it live on GTV
17:29 and live-streamed on social media accounts
17:32 of GMA Sports and NCAA Philippines.
17:35 Meanwhile, Mapua Red Robins secured the bronze
17:39 after a tie in the battle for third
17:42 against San Sebastian Staglitz
17:44 in the score of 64-62.
17:47 They inspected their field
17:51 before the expected arrival of those returning to the province
17:54 for the Holy Week.
17:56 In the end, the flights were fully booked
17:59 and the problems were solved,
18:02 like the leaks and floods.
18:05 Oscar Oida was on the spot.
18:06 Rolando refused to repeat
18:12 the difficult last trip of the Holy Week.
18:16 So now, he's being accompanied by his friends.
18:20 It's hard when it's like that.
18:22 It's hard to travel without your own service.
18:25 Rolando is one of more than 60,000 passengers
18:29 today in IA Terminal 3.
18:32 That's less than what they expect
18:35 with a 10-15% increase in the number of passengers
18:38 next week,
18:40 which is expected to peak on Holy Wednesday and Easter Sunday.
18:44 According to the Manila International Airport Authority,
18:47 there are enough planes to travel this Holy Week.
18:51 The terminal managers already met with the airlines
18:55 assigned to their respective terminals
18:57 to make sure that our airlines are prepared for the flood.
19:03 They also continue to address the issues
19:06 that have been raised, like the leaks and floods.
19:08 We coordinated with our pest control provider
19:13 that we monitor their activities daily.
19:20 Regarding the seats, steaming,
19:23 constant disinfection of the gun chairs,
19:28 and also the possible road ends.
19:34 We have put traps, so we have reports daily.
19:39 However, they had to remove the seats
19:43 so the passengers' equipment might be lacking.
19:46 The MIAA will also set up help desks
19:51 to meet the needs of the passengers.
19:55 The passengers are also being told to arrive on time
19:59 to avoid the floods.
20:02 The Batangas District was also inspected earlier
20:06 by the President of the Philippine Ports Authority,
20:08 General Manager, J. Santiago.
20:11 The provinces are already expecting more arrivals.
20:16 We expect more than 2 million people to travel
20:21 to the Philippine Ports Authority.
20:24 We anticipate a 10% increase from last year's 1.8 million.
20:28 The passenger terminal will be more spacious
20:31 because the previous one only had 2500 seating capacity.
20:37 Now, it can accommodate 8,000 passengers.
20:41 Fully air-conditioned, clean and spacious.
20:45 Three ticketing zones will be serviced to the passengers.
20:49 Two e-transporters or electronic vehicles
20:52 can be used inside the building
20:54 for PWD, Buntis, and senior citizens.
20:58 It's good, it's safe to walk.
21:01 The DOTR is confident that the operation
21:04 in the ports will be smooth sailing.
21:07 All ports will be manned by 24 hours.
21:13 The police of the marinas and the ports
21:18 and the seas have already committed to the Philippine Coast Guard.
21:23 The Expressway is expected to start traveling
21:27 this weekend with the help of the TOL Regulatory Board or TRB.
21:33 All lanes will be open from March 24 to March 31.
21:38 And there are staffs who are on duty to assist the motorists.
21:43 For GMA Integrated News, Oscar Oida,
21:46 for 24 Hours.
21:49 It's official!
21:51 Not only on GTV, the Kapamilya Noontime Show
21:54 that is "It's Showtime!"
21:55 but also on GMA,
21:58 the hosts and ABS-CBN executives received a warm welcome
22:03 before the historic contract signing earlier.
22:06 Here's the chika of Aubrey Carampel.

23:09 The fact that we are holding this signing here,
23:15 we don't need to say anything more
23:20 about your being welcome in GMA.
23:25 There was this feeling of a unique kind of happiness
23:33 because of the sense of unity, gratitude, and happiness
23:39 that we all felt when we were together.
23:42 It is our pleasure, we are very proud, very happy
23:46 to have "It's Showtime!" on GMA.
23:49 Let's expect more and more collaborations between GMA and ABS-CBN

24:05 President and Chief Executive Officer Carlo L. Catigbac,

24:23 We have so much gratitude for you all today.
24:29 Thank you again for welcoming "Showtime!"

24:55 My heart is full of joy and gratitude.
24:58 Thank you so much to GMA.

25:03 Our 15th anniversary, of course, that's a milestone.
25:06 It will happen on GMA.
25:08 I know that all anniversaries are happy, but the 10th, 15th, 20th,
25:13 they are anticipating the 15th anniversary.
25:16 So this is the one that will make the 15th anniversary even bigger.
25:19 We are at GMA, right? It's so big.
25:22 We are humbled and grateful.
25:25 Thank you very much.
25:27 We are a family of being able to reinvent.
25:33 This is why we've been here going on 15 years.
25:36 Each year is a new chapter.
25:38 And right now, this alone, not even this year,
25:42 this moment is a new chapter.
25:45 So for us, we'll be able to bring something new to the table
25:49 in this new chapter of ours.
25:51 All the time.
25:52 You can expect that.
