00:00 [Music]
00:12 Good morning. Here are the first news of the day, GMA Integrated News.
00:17 The resolution of both Houses 7, approved by the third and final reading of the House of Commons,
00:22 which is the amendment of some economic provisions in the Constitution.
00:26 288 in favor, 8 against, 2 abstained.
00:31 Under RBH 7, the restrictions on foreign ownership in education, advertising, and public utilities will be eased.
00:39 The counterpart resolution of both Houses 6 has been passed by the Senate Committee.
00:44 If it is passed by the Congress, the bill will be passed by the Plebiscite to be approved by the people.
00:53 Metropolitan Water Works and Sewerage System, or MWSS, has announced that it will reduce water pressure in houses in April
01:01 due to the continuous decrease in water levels in Angat Dam.
01:04 And now, we will be watching live the manager of the Water and Sewerage Department of MWSS, Engineer Patrick James Dizon.
01:13 Good morning, Engineer. This is Maris, and we are live with the first news.
01:16 Good morning, Maris, and thank you for inviting MWSS.
01:21 First of all, Engineer, let me make it clear.
01:24 Water pressure will be reduced, not the water allocation.
01:28 Yes, that's right, Maris.
01:31 Our allocation from Angat Dam will not be reduced.
01:35 And we will also make it clear that our customers will not lose water.
01:40 We will just reduce the strength or pressure of water.
01:44 So, this reduction in water pressure in our houses is what we call pressure management measures.
01:51 So, these are our strategies to manage the water coming from Angat Dam.
01:57 What are the places that will be affected?
01:59 Actually, for now, Maris, these are the places that are in high places.
02:06 So, when we reduce the pressure, our water will be weak during the off-peak hours.
02:14 And is the water pressure reduced daily or do you have a particular time?
02:20 These are the times, Maris, that are from 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. where the utilization of our water is weak.
02:30 So, we do this, Maris, to manage the water coming from Angat Dam and to catch the losses in our systems.
02:43 Alright. In your opinion, is water pressure reduction enough to manage the water supply?
02:48 Now, we have El Nino, El Nino is on the rise.
02:51 Maris, we are part of the Angat Technical Working Group.
02:55 We are part of the government agencies that manage Angat Dam.
03:00 We are continuously coordinating to manage Angat Dam.
03:05 So, in our opinion, Maris, this initiative will help us to reduce the effects of El Nino.
03:13 And now that El Nino is not yet over, what is the MWSS's plan, especially since the water level in Angat Dam is continuously decreasing?
03:20 Do we have additional steps that can be done? And what is the worst-case scenario that you see?
03:27 Now, Maris, our Angat Reservoir is at 200.72 meters.
03:34 So, since the beginning of this year, our reservoir is already at 17 centimeters.
03:42 But I would like to say that for our countrymen to understand that our reservoir, specifically in Angat Dam,
03:51 it is normal that it is decreasing from January to June, whether there is El Nino or not.
03:58 And because there is a prospect that there will be a so-called "lanina"
04:05 and this second half of this year will start, our water level in the reservoir will also increase from July to December.
04:16 So, this month, based on our historical records, we will experience rain in our watersheds.
04:23 So, at least for now, we will just wait, we don't need to get tired in the DNR for cloud seeding activities in AFP?
04:32 Actually, Maris, we are coordinating with Pag-asa and our Philippine Air Force
04:38 if it is feasible to conduct cloud seeding.
04:41 We at the USSW are ready to deploy our cloud seeding parameters.
04:47 And I will just follow up, are there any new water resources that you plan to open?
04:52 Actually, Maris, for now, we have already implemented additional water sources.
04:57 We have already started these projects since last year and we are slowly finishing them.
05:05 Actually, Maris, the other ones are ready to operate this summer.
05:10 We have already built three new plants in Laguna Lake, two in Montilupa and one in Pakil, Laguna.
05:17 They have a total capacity of around 200 million liters per day.
05:21 So, yesterday, according to the report, we have already inaugurated another additional plant,
05:28 a modular water treatment plant that can treat water coming from Laguna Lake.
05:36 All right, that is exactly what we are experiencing right now.
05:39 Thank you very much for your time and for giving us the information,
05:45 Engineer Patrick James Dizon of MWSS. Good morning to you.
05:50 Good morning to all of us.
05:52 An MMDA traffic enforcer has been suspended for claiming a motorcycle theft.
05:58 According to the victim, he was first arrested by the enforcer for using a cellphone
06:03 until he was accused of using a phone in his registration.
06:09 We have first news from Rafi Tima.
06:15 In this police line-up, instead of the suspects, the MMDA traffic enforcers assigned to Commonwealth Avenue are in line.
06:22 The one in white polo is the victim of a motorcycle theft during Commonwealth Avenue last week.
06:29 The enforcers were quick to notice the victim and the enforcer immediately recognized him.
06:35 The enforcer was immediately suspended.
06:37 You were identified with and without a mask. So, you were not the first time, maybe the second time.
06:46 No.
06:47 You will be given a chance to answer the officers. Until such time, my side partners will be there.
06:57 According to the victim, on Friday afternoon, he u-turned to Techno Hub, Patungong, Tandang Sora,
07:02 where he was assigned by the enforcer. He was first accused of using a cellphone.
07:07 He was not wearing a seatbelt. When he was asked to reveal the accusations, he said that his registration was already expired.
07:15 He was charged with 15,000 pesos, which was less than 5,000 pesos.
07:20 After claiming that he had no cash, the enforcer told him to send it to the e-wallet app.
07:26 To reduce the amount of money he was asking for, he reduced the contents of his e-wallet.
07:30 While he was checking his receipts, I logged in to my e-wallet.
07:38 I transferred my money to my brothers. I left 2,500 pesos.
07:46 The victim posted his experience on social media and was reported to the MMDA.
07:51 The line-up was immediately suspended.
07:53 If the guilty party was proven guilty, aside from being removed from the service,
07:56 the enforcer could be charged with a criminal offense.
07:59 According to the MMDA, the traffic laws are known to the tourists.
08:03 So that when the enforcer asks for the time, they know what they will answer.
08:06 This is the first news. Rafi Tima for GMA Integrated News.
08:11 Some members of Pistón and Manibela petitioned the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board
08:18 to allow them to recover their franchises from being consolidated.
08:23 What is the reaction of other shoppers about this?
08:25 It has been more than a month since the deadline for the consolidation of the PUV.
08:29 Live from Quezon City, this is the first news.
08:32 James Agustin. Good morning, James.
08:35 Good morning, Maris.
08:40 The reaction of the reasons given by the Jeepney drivers I talked to
08:45 is that they want to recover their franchises from being consolidated
08:50 under the PUV Modernization Program.
08:52 If the implementation of the program continues,
08:55 they might look for other ways of earning money.
08:58 In December of last year, Adonis joined the corporation
09:06 for more than three decades as a Jeepney driver.
09:08 Part of the process of the PUV Modernization Program is the consolidation of franchises.
09:14 But now, he wants to recover it.
09:17 You will get your unit, you will be paid.
09:25 Meanwhile, the franchise is yours.
09:29 You will use it for years.
09:32 You will get it as it is.
09:35 The operator, Boy, who has been a Jeepney driver for 23 years, is also a member of the cooperative.
09:41 But if he were to ask, it would be better if they don't get consolidated.
09:45 If you join the cooperative, you will be paid.
09:50 I'm not sure how much.
09:52 But you will be paid.
09:54 You can't not get paid.
09:55 You will not get your unit if you don't pay.
10:00 Even if we say that the Jeepney is old, it's still a Jeepney.
10:03 If I were to ask, I don't want a model.
10:06 The consolidation deadline for the PUV Modernization Program is April 30.
10:11 If the consolidation is not done, it will be considered as a colorful PUV
10:14 and it will not be able to travel.
10:16 If that happens, Jeepney drivers will not be able to do anything
10:20 if they do not accept a new system or discard a new income.
10:25 Their families cannot be hungry.
10:27 I will look for another job.
10:30 My plan is, if I get old, I will pass it on to my son.
10:40 I hope that we can see that the Department of Transportation will not be able to run.
10:49 I will look for another job.
10:51 I can do that because I have a motorbike.
10:58 I can look for another job.
11:01 A delivery rider?
11:03 Yes.
11:08 Meanwhile, we are trying to get a PANIG, the LTFRB.
11:13 I have talked to some Jeepney drivers here in Quezon City
11:16 and until now, they are not consolidating.
11:19 If they are not able to travel after the deadline set by the government,
11:24 they will look for another job.
11:27 That is the first news from Quezon City.
11:29 I am James Agustin for JEMAI Integrated News.
11:33 The family of a five-year-old missing child in Angelas, Pampanga,
11:38 who arrived in Novaliches, Quezon City,
11:41 was found by Ali De La Cruz.
11:43 Ali's Jeepney drove to the place where he was found by a passenger.
11:49 We will now talk to the sister of the victim, Darius Pangilinan,
11:53 and her cousin, Cleo Campos.
11:56 Good morning.
11:57 Good morning, sir.
11:59 Are you still in Novaliches?
12:02 We are not here anymore. We are already back in Pampanga.
12:06 Who gave you the information that Ali might be in Novaliches?
12:12 He is just a concerned citizen who messaged my mother's cousin.
12:19 He connected us through messenger.
12:26 He said that he was driving Ali and the man who took Ali.
12:34 But from Angeles, what vehicle did they drive to Novaliches?
12:41 That is also what we do not know.
12:45 We just contacted Ali through comments or texts
12:51 that he gave us information.
12:56 But if a passenger texted you, was it a Jeep or a bus?
13:01 Yes, it was a Jeep.
13:03 Was there a trip to Angeles until he was found in a Jeep?
13:08 Actually, there was none.
13:11 We just connected the possible trips that Ali and the man could have made.
13:21 Aside from the fact that he was in a Jeep with Ali,
13:25 did he give any other details?
13:28 No sir. Actually, the concerned citizen is working.
13:35 That's why he was in a Jeep with Ali and the man.
13:40 He said that he was going down to BGC Terminal
13:46 to go to SM North.
13:52 That's why he went down there.
13:55 Darius, did anyone else text or call you to help in finding Ali?
14:02 That's our latest update.
14:07 We have not received any new texts or calls or chats.
14:15 The deadline given by Angeles City Mayor Lasatin to the police to find Ali is three days.
14:22 How is the information that the concerned citizen Darius is giving you?
14:28 They told us to wait for their update.
14:37 If they see Ali, they will call us immediately.
14:43 Are you close to Ali, Darius?
14:46 Yes.
14:48 What are the things that you miss about him?
14:51 We hear him running around our house,
14:59 knocking on our door,
15:02 sometimes having breakfast together,
15:06 when he comes into our room.
15:09 Things like that.
15:11 Did you call the man who saw you taking Ali?
15:16 I hope that he will return our intention to my brother.
15:23 I hope that he will not make us go far away.
15:28 I hope that he will not make us struggle in finding them.
15:33 Helen, do you have a phone call?
15:38 Sorry, sir.
15:41 I'm sorry, Cleo.
15:45 That's what I want to tell the man.
15:49 I hope that he will return our brother.
15:52 You cannot take care of him because we are his family.
15:58 For those who are watching this and have information,
16:04 where can we get your help, Cleo?
16:08 Darius and my mother are the only contacts you can call.
16:16 Okay. Thank you very much.
16:19 I hope we can see Ali as soon as possible.
16:22 Darius, thank you. Cleo, thank you.
16:24 Thank you.
16:25 Thank you very much.
16:26 Take care.
16:27 The Masungi Geo-Reserve Foundation called on the government
16:32 to protect the boundary of the protected areas,
16:35 like the Upper Marikina Basin.
16:37 In the middle of the statement of the local government of Antipolo,
16:41 the lands where there are cemeteries and houses near the protected area are being protected.
16:46 We have first news from Mackie Pulido.
16:48 On the boundary of the Upper Marikina River Basin Protected Landscape in Barangay San Juan, Antipolo City,
16:57 a part of a mountain was cut down for the construction of houses.
17:01 1,158 units of this resettlement project are for the relocated citizens.
17:08 It is almost next to several hectares of cemeteries.
17:11 Antipolo City LGU said that these are private lands and are not included in the protected area.
17:17 Both are titled properties.
17:20 There is a technical description of our protected area and it's not part of the protected area.
17:28 But Masungi Geo-Reserve Foundation said that even if it's a protected area, it should still be protected.
17:35 Under the National Integrated Protected Area System, or NIPAS Act,
17:39 a buffer zone can be built if needed for added protection to the protected areas.
17:45 If the land is private, the design should be included in the protected area management plan.
17:50 To make sure that the protected area is defined and there are no encroachments.
17:58 Almost 8,000 hectares of the Upper Marikina River Basin is without any structure.
18:06 The multi-use zone declared 70% of the protected area.
18:10 We are continuously getting statements from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
18:15 about the Upper Marikina River Basin but they haven't been announced yet.
18:20 This is the first news, Mackie Pulido for GMA Integrated News.
18:25 International Day of Happiness.
18:28 Yesterday, the United Nations released a report on the world's happiest country.
18:34 The ranking of the Philippines rose in the list.
18:37 What makes our hearts happy?
18:40 Let's find out on Street Here It Live by Bam Alegre.
18:43 Good morning Bam, what makes you happy?
18:46 Maris, good morning. If you're happy and you know it,
18:50 let's make our Filipino friends happy because we rose in the rankings of happiest countries in the world.
18:56 Here's Street Here It.
18:57 Who makes you happy?
19:05 For Brian Guevara, it's his fur babies.
19:09 Kobe, an Aspen and Giana, a Belgian Malinois.
19:13 In the morning, they go strolling in Marikina River Banks.
19:16 To get a good vibe before going to work, he shows the little things that make him happy.
19:21 The first thing that makes me happy is to be with my dogs, which is Giana and Kobe.
19:27 It has a big effect. When you smile, it's like vitamins.
19:33 Like others, it's contagious. So if you're always smiling and happy, you'll get good vibes from them.
19:40 This is a happy news. From the 76th place, the Philippines is now at 53rd place in the happiest countries in the world.
19:49 This is based on the data of the United Nations.
19:51 We're also the 5th happiest in Asia, followed by South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and Singapore.
19:56 Finland is still the happiest country in the next 7 years.
20:00 Next is Denmark, Iceland, and Sweden.
20:03 Social support, individual income, health, freedom, giving, and no corruption became the happiest.
20:10 But aside from the things that make us happy, others say that making others happy is also happy.
20:15 It's better to give than to receive happiness.
20:18 That's why the watchman, Albert Camorongan, uses all his energy to make his loved ones happy.
20:24 First, God. Then, my wife. I give all of my energy to make her happy.
20:32 So don't be sad. Even if you have a problem, here are the words of wisdom from Ms. Baby.
20:36 I don't think about anything. It's okay for me if I have a problem. I just laugh.
20:45 You laugh.
20:48 Even if you have a problem, even if you don't have money, just be yourself.
20:55 It's like you have money.
20:57 Marie, the question you asked earlier, what makes us happy, of course, is love life, but it's a bit LDR.
21:07 Fellow Kapuso, what or who makes you happy, and how important it is for you to be happy?
21:15 So tweet it to us. Tag the first tweet. Add the hashtag #StreetHearIt.
21:20 Let's see your entries. This is Street Hear It from Marikina.
21:23 Bama Lagre for GMI Integrated News.
