Transcript

00:00 Live from the GMA Network Center, 20 years of news, 24 hours.

00:09 [Music]

00:13 Good evening, John Visayas and Mindanao.

00:16 The heat is so intense in some prisons in the country.

00:25 In Muntinlupa, the prisoners are sleeping on the side or sitting on the floor in the city jail.

00:31 In other prisons, patients are infected with scabies or other diseases.

00:38 And Maki Polido is talking.

00:40 [Music]

00:43 It's hard to imagine how the prisoners in Muntinlupa City Jail are suffering from the heat and heat.

00:50 Inside the cells, there are no windows. It's like their arms are already tied.

00:56 They can't move without a person beside them.

00:59 Even under the double-deck beds, there are people lying down.

01:03 This cell is congested.

01:05 This cell, which is supposed to be the sixth only,

01:08 where persons are deprived of liberty,

01:10 there are 138 people in jail now.

01:13 This cell should also be the sixth only.

01:16 But now, there are 125.

01:18 The most tight cell is this one, which is supposed to be the tenth only.

01:23 But now, there are 238 people in jail.

01:27 Muntinlupa City Jail's congestion rate is 2,248%.

01:32 It's the most congested city jail in Metro Manila.

01:35 Because the facility is only the 41st,

01:38 but 122 people are in jail.

01:42 To sleep, the person lying down should be on the side.

01:44 Those who can't lie down, will sit on the floor.

01:48 Those who can sleep, will sit on the floor

01:53 so that they can sleep in a way that others can't breathe.

01:59 And if it's possible, we will do something

02:04 to make their bed more comfortable.

02:08 Even during the day, they are more limited in sitting.

02:11 It's not a joke to walk in this tight cell.

02:14 You can really feel the pain.

02:18 It's more frequent to be in a tight cell because we don't move around much.

02:22 But even if they don't move, their sweat is dripping.

02:26 Industrial and exhaust fans are not effective

02:29 in the large number of cells.

02:31 One adjustment is, we have a multipurpose third floor.

02:37 So, when night comes, some of our vulnerable people,

02:41 like our senior citizens, we let them sleep there.

02:44 Others, we just let them sleep in the facility.

02:47 But it's not just in Muntinlupa City Jail.

02:50 326 out of 482 facilities of the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology, or BJMP,

02:59 are congested or very tight.

02:59 Because it's easy to get infected if it's tight,

03:01 some people get sick because of the high temperature.

03:04 There are many of us who have scabies.

03:07 And the patients who eat there, they also have boils.

03:13 You know, our common ones.

03:15 Or scabies.

03:16 We have an additional doctor who hired us.

03:20 We have gale nurses.

03:22 Part of the relief to the prisoners is the speed of their cases

03:27 and the release of those who can be released.

03:30 Some local governments are also helping in building new facilities.

03:34 Out of 11 under construction,

03:37 Muntinlupa City Jail has a capacity of 4,000.

03:41 For GMA Integrated News, Mackie Pulido reporting for 24 Hours.

03:46 There are ambulances being blocked again at the busway.

03:52 This is in the middle of a confusion.

03:54 Can they pass through if there's a patient who's sick?

03:59 Mark Salazar is reporting.

04:04 There are clear prohibitions at the EDSA busway.

04:07 Private vehicles like that.

04:09 Even private motorcycles that are the most common among the passengers.

04:15 But there's a confusion among the ambulances

04:19 because not all of them can pass through the busway

04:22 even if there's an emergency.

04:24 If there's no passenger,

04:28 you cannot use the bus carousel.

04:32 Even the excuse that we will pick up the patient

04:38 is not accepted

04:39 because otherwise, everyone will claim that they will go to the patient.

04:45 Some ambulances that have no passengers were blocked earlier.

04:49 Look at the traffic system on the other side.

04:51 If I will pass through here,

04:54 before I can reach our place,

04:58 I will be late.

05:02 We are asking for forgiveness

05:04 because the ambulance driver

05:06 called our barangay to pick up the patient.

05:10 That's why we can easily pass through the busway.

05:12 Four ambulances were blocked because there's no patient.

05:16 The PIDEA and AFP vehicles that passed through the busway were also caught.

05:21 But the most confusing thing earlier

05:23 was the shuttle bus of the MMDA

05:26 that was also blocked because it's not allowed to pass through the busway.

05:29 Wait a minute.

05:30 The driver said that he showed the enforcer

05:33 the February 20, 2024 memo

05:36 of their general manager

05:38 that says they can use the EDS on the busway.

05:41 When we were not allowed to use it,

05:43 we were outside.

05:45 We were waiting in the traffic.

05:47 That's why we were wondering why we were blocked.

05:49 Here's the memo.

05:52 The enforcer did not recognize the memo

05:55 that's why the shuttle bus was still blocked.

05:58 We are investigating

06:00 if there's any confusion

06:02 on the part of the agency.

06:04 I will personally pay the penalty

06:09 of our driver.

06:11 The penalty is P5,000

06:13 that was raised on purpose

06:15 to make the violators nervous.

06:17 But many are still protesting

06:19 that's why the MMDA pushed

06:21 the no contact apprehension

06:23 that according to the court, the MMDA cannot intervene.

06:26 We cannot monitor

06:28 the entire stretch of EDSA for 24 hours.

06:33 We talked to the LTO about this

06:37 since they are not included

06:41 in the prohibition of the Supreme Court.

06:43 That's why the MMDA is the only one

06:45 who will monitor the CCTV

06:47 and the LTO will be the one to punish.

06:49 They have a memorandum of agreement

06:51 with the Supreme Court.

06:53 This is nothing connected

06:55 with the Supreme Court case of EDCAP.

06:57 This is purely within the mandate of LTO.

06:59 The LTO is favoring this

07:01 especially since they have a small number of enforcers.

07:03 EDSA busway is just a pilot test

07:05 but they said the CCTV will put

07:07 other routes in Metro Manila.

07:09 For GMA Integrated News,

07:12 Mark Salazar, 24 hours.

07:16 The MMDA can serve as a shield

07:19 against the magnitude 7.2 earthquake

07:21 in Taiwan.

07:23 It is expected to be stronger

07:25 than the magnitude 8

07:27 or even stronger

07:29 according to the PHIVOLCS.

07:31 This is what Rafi Tima is talking about.

07:33 The earthquake in Taiwan

07:35 has a correlation

07:37 with the movement of the Philippine Sea Plate

07:39 according to the PHIVOLCS.

07:41 The Philippine Sea Plate

07:43 is the Eurasian Plate in Taiwan.

07:45 It is fluctuating.

07:47 It fluctuates from time to time.

07:49 The Philippine Sea Plate is fluctuating

07:51 by a centimeter every year.

07:53 That is why the earthquake happened in Taiwan

07:55 because the pressure in Taiwan

07:57 did not need to fall.

07:59 The Philippine Archipelago is actually

08:01 compressed on both sides

08:03 by the Eurasian Plate

08:05 and the Philippine Sea Plate.

08:07 But the Eurasian Plate is almost immobile.

08:09 The strongest motion

08:11 will be the Philippine Sea Plate.

08:13 So we are being pushed

08:15 towards the northwest.

08:17 The magnitude 7.2 earthquake

08:19 hit Taiwan

08:21 was so strong

08:23 that it was hard to stand up.

08:25 So we need to hold on

08:27 to our positions

08:29 and follow the deck,

08:31 cover, and hold.

08:33 And after the earthquake

08:35 and be careful

08:37 the house will come out.

08:39 The magnitude 7.2 earthquake

08:43 in Taiwan is the potential

08:45 of the biggest one in Metro Manila

08:47 if the West Valley Fault moves.

08:49 In the construction of the Philbooks,

08:51 MMDA, and JICA,

08:53 up to 34,000 people

08:55 could die in Metro Manila

08:57 if this happens.

08:59 114,000 could be injured

09:01 and 170,000 could die.

09:03 The Philbooks assessment

09:05 in Metro Davao and Metro Cebu

09:07 continues to be the impact

09:09 of this strong earthquake.

09:11 Especially if there are fault lines

09:13 every year.

09:15 The population of these areas

09:17 is increasing.

09:19 But the Philbooks says

09:21 there could be a stronger earthquake

09:23 in the Philippines.

09:25 For example, the Philippine Trench

09:27 here in summer is capable

09:29 of generating 8.1 event.

09:31 And when that happens,

09:33 it could generate tsunamis

09:35 as high as 10 meters.

09:37 Here in the Manila Trench,

09:39 it could generate

09:41 8.3 earthquake.

09:43 The problem is,

09:45 because it's near the country's neighborhoods,

09:47 just 5 minutes after the earthquake,

09:49 the tsunami is already coming.

09:51 So there's no time to

09:53 take care of the Philbooks.

09:55 So it's important to remember

09:57 the residents near the sea,

09:59 to shake, drop, and roar.

10:01 When there is a strong shaking,

10:03 you can't move

10:05 or stand.

10:07 There is a sudden drop of sea level

10:09 and there is

10:11 a roaring sound coming from the sea.

10:13 If one of those

10:15 is observed,

10:17 then you have to

10:19 evacuate

10:21 immediately to a higher place

10:23 if you're in the coastal community.

10:25 For GMA Integrated News,

10:27 Raffy Tima,

10:29 24 hours.

10:31 Kapuso, are you already

10:33 bad-tripped by traffic?

10:35 The President has already heard the concrete plan

10:37 of the Cabinet to

10:39 solve that. Ivan Mayerina is on the air.

10:41 Not only headache,

10:47 but also heavy traffic is a part of the economy.

10:49 Almost 5 billion pesos

10:51 are wasted every day because of traffic

10:53 according to a study from 2020.

10:55 The market could still grow

10:57 to more than 3 billion pesos every day

10:59 in 2027 if it's not solved.

11:01 That's one of the issues

11:03 discussed in the Cabinet meeting yesterday.

11:05 The President gave

11:07 instruction to everyone

11:09 to submit their

11:11 recommendations.

11:13 What the President

11:15 really wants is a

11:17 comprehensive, holistic approach

11:19 to solving the traffic problem.

11:21 In both cases,

11:23 the National Economic and Development Authority presented

11:25 the new growth target of the country

11:27 from 6.5 to 7.5 percent

11:29 and lowered it to 6 to 7 percent.

11:31 According to the Red,

11:33 the 6 percent growth target

11:35 will still be one of the highest

11:37 in the Asia Pacific region.

11:39 To regulate the economy,

11:41 the country's budget

11:43 will reach 6.2 trillion pesos in 2025.

11:45 Aside from the aggressive

11:47 effort to improve the economy,

11:49 more work is needed.

11:51 Funding for infrastructure is also needed.

11:53 For those and other public services,

11:55 the part that the Philippines owes

11:57 is already reaching 15 trillion pesos

11:59 by the end of February.

12:01 Payment is already expensive

12:03 because the debt is bigger than the economy.

12:05 The collection of goods

12:07 is also increasing

12:09 despite the time spent on online purchases.

12:11 It will also help the economy

12:13 if the economic provisions of the Constitution

12:15 are admitted.

12:17 For GEMA Integrated News,

12:19 Ivan Meirene, for Tutok 24.

12:21 President Bongbong Marcos

12:23 declared regular holidays

12:25 throughout the country

12:27 on April 10.

12:29 According to the proclamation issued by Malacanang,

12:31 this is to improve

12:33 the observation of the Adil Fitir

12:35 or Feast of Ramadan.

12:37 Regular holiday means

12:39 the day before that, April 9,

12:41 which is the day of the feast.

12:43 The number of trolleys

12:47 pushing themselves is already double

12:49 following the temporary stop

12:51 of the PNR in Metro Manila.

12:53 It is also more expensive

12:55 to transport buses

12:57 than the old buses of PNR.

12:59 Marisol Abduramaz

13:01 was also involved.

13:03 A few days after the stop

13:09 of the Philippine National Railways

13:11 train operation,

13:13 PNR Chairman Mike Macapagal

13:15 visited the stations.

13:17 They want to make sure that the buses

13:19 are enough for the old passengers of the trains.

13:21 If there are many passengers

13:23 and the buses are not enough,

13:25 we will deploy more buses.

13:27 For now, there are 25 buses

13:29 traveling to reach

13:31 the 30,000 passengers.

13:33 There are some delays.

13:35 Instead of 30 minutes,

13:37 they are waiting for 40 minutes.

13:39 But I cleared it up with the bus company.

13:41 But when we went around

13:43 Tutuban Station earlier,

13:45 we noticed that there are not many

13:47 passengers on the bus

13:49 compared to those queuing on the old train.

13:51 Many buses from Loton

13:53 are waiting for us.

13:55 We are waiting for the bus

13:57 to reach the station.

13:59 It is rare to have a full bus.

14:01 It is a loss for the bus operators.

14:03 But they hope that

14:05 they can recover

14:07 in the next few months.

14:09 Some buses are still waiting.

14:11 This family is from Zamboanga City.

14:13 But what surprised them the most

14:15 is that they have a more expensive bus.

14:17 The 25 pesos bus

14:19 from Tutuban to Bicutan

14:21 is 50 pesos.

14:23 Instead of saving

14:25 the other passengers,

14:27 it is more expensive.

14:29 You can buy the 20 pesos bus

14:31 if you are broke.

14:33 It is more painful for the bus operators

14:35 like Mark, who has a minimum wage

14:37 and he rides the train every day.

14:39 Instead of buying

14:41 what I want

14:43 or food,

14:45 I just go to the bus operator.

14:47 We are affected.

14:49 We have been in this business for 5 years.

14:51 We have no choice

14:53 because we don't have other vehicles.

14:55 I will sleep on the bus

14:57 in Secretary Jimmy Bautista's office

14:59 who I am sure

15:01 will do something about it.

15:03 But it is not easy.

15:05 But if it is hard for the commuter,

15:07 "Pandakan po, wala na drive, pandakan!"

15:09 It seems like

15:11 the temporary stop of the PNR

15:13 is a blessing for the

15:15 trolley operators in Riles.

15:17 Before the PNR was stopped,

15:19 they increased the fare.

15:21 The previous 10 pesos for the bus

15:23 is now 20 pesos.

15:25 20 pesos for 5 buses is now 100 pesos.

15:27 Before, 10 buses

15:29 was 100 pesos.

15:31 I hope it will be forever.

15:33 I hope they will eat the money.

15:35 Thank you to the PNR

15:37 because we are using this.

15:39 We are allowed to use this.

15:41 I hope it will last long.

15:43 We will earn a lot.

15:45 It is a big thing.

15:47 It is expensive because

15:49 it started to demolish.

15:51 That is why they are increasing the fare.

15:53 It is okay.

15:55 It will help those who are in need.

15:57 It is okay. We will try it.

15:59 For GMA Integrated News,

16:01 Marisol Abduraman

16:03 for 24 Hours.

16:05 Two more accused of Pastor

16:09 Apollo Q. Buloy are now in the hands of the authorities.

16:11 While the pastor is still in jail,

16:13 GMA Regional TV

16:15 Juan Mindanao is also joining

16:17 in serving the warrant

16:19 against him in Davao City.

16:21 John D. Esteban of GMA Regional TV

16:23 Juan Mindanao is on the scene.

16:25 At 8 in the morning,

16:29 the National Bureau of Investigation

16:31 of Evervision,

16:33 the Prayer Mountain Knee,

16:35 Kingdom of Jesus Christ,

16:37 Pastor Apollo Q. Buloy,

16:39 in Purutres, Barangay Tamayong,

16:41 was arrested on April 1

16:43 for child abuse and sexual abuse.

16:45 When the area arrived

16:47 at 9 in the morning,

16:49 the NBI was confronted

16:51 by Attorney Eunice Ambrosio,

16:53 one of the lawyers of KOJC.

16:55 After the warrant was shown,

16:59 the NBI already closed the area.

17:01 But Q. Buloy was not seen.

17:03 The so-called Glory Mountain,

17:05 owned by Q. Buloy,

17:07 was also visited

17:09 by the same barangay.

17:11 But the media was allowed to join.

17:13 "Sir, the media was not allowed."

17:15 "Pastor was not there.

17:17 We were not able to see him.

17:19 In our interviews with them,

17:21 it's been a while

17:23 since they saw him

17:25 and were able to talk to Pastor Q. Buloy."

17:27 While serving the warrant,

17:29 the two personal assistants of Q. Buloy

17:31 who has a warrant

17:33 for the same case,

17:35 also surrendered to the NBI.

17:37 The case was immediately processed

17:39 by RTC Branch 12

17:41 with the help of their lawyer.

17:43 Two other accused persons

17:45 also surrendered yesterday

17:47 while one was arrested at his house.

17:49 The NBI is still looking

17:51 for Q. Buloy.

17:53 "Right now, we're still negotiating

17:55 if he can surrender within 10 days

17:57 because the warrant of arrest

17:59 has 10 days

18:01 giving us to serve the warrant.

18:03 While he was not caught,

18:05 the warrant of arrest

18:07 was still in force.

18:09 Under the law, if you are not arrested,

18:11 you are considered a fugitive from justice."

18:13 From GMA Regional TV 1 Mindanao,

18:15 Jandi S. Esteban.

18:17 NAKA TUTOK 24 HORAS.

18:19 Nine

18:23 Filipino athletes qualified

18:25 for the 2024

18:27 Paris Olympics.

18:29 Even though the Olympic gold medalist

18:31 Heidelin Diaz

18:33 is still an inspiration

18:35 to some of our athletes.

18:37 He is talking about JP Sariano.

18:39 A few days before he flew

18:45 to Las Vegas, Nevada

18:47 where he will do his full training

18:49 for the 2024 Paris Olympics.

18:51 He is still practicing.

18:53 The Filipino boxing champion

18:55 of 2020 Tokyo Olympics

18:57 bronze medalist, Yumier Marshall.

18:59 There is no time to waste

19:01 because from the middleweight

19:03 in 2020 Tokyo Olympics,

19:05 Yumier has leveled up.

19:07 His body has grown

19:09 because he has qualified

19:11 in the light heavyweight category

19:13 for the 2024 Paris Olympics.

19:15 Despite the possibility

19:17 that he will face in the boxing ring,

19:19 the Ukrainian boxer

19:21 Oleksandr Kizniak

19:23 beat him in the Tokyo Olympics.

19:25 "They are here in the weight class

19:27 right now. All of the

19:29 fighters are good.

19:31 In this fight,

19:33 my body is ready

19:35 physically, mentally

19:37 and spiritually."

19:39 Yumier said that it is possible

19:41 that he will join a world boxing

19:43 tournament in Europe before

19:45 the Paris Olympics

19:47 to maintain his competitive spirit

19:49 and momentum.

19:51 "I am inspired but at the same time

19:53 there is pressure.

19:55 That is what I use as motivation

19:57 in my training."

19:59 Yumier's target

20:01 is to win the gold medal

20:03 in the Olympics.

20:05 If ever, it will be the first

20:07 for the sport of boxing

20:09 and the second gold medal of the Philippines.

20:11 It is the first gold medal

20:13 in the Olympic history

20:15 of the weightlifter

20:17 Haidelyn Dias

20:19 who won gold in the 2020

20:21 Tokyo Olympics.

20:23 But Haidelyn did not qualify

20:25 for the 2024 Paris Olympics

20:27 after being eliminated

20:29 in the IWF World Cup 59kg

20:31 event yesterday in Thailand.

20:33 Haidelyn said that

20:35 she will continue to lift

20:37 but she was not sure

20:39 about the next 2028 Los Angeles

20:41 Summer Olympics.

20:43 "You know,

20:45 Haidelyn has nothing

20:47 to prove to us.

20:49 She won the gold medal

20:51 in the SEA Games, Asian Games,

20:53 World Championship and Olympics.

20:55 She has not achieved anything yet."

20:57 Yumier is also happy

20:59 that a Filipino athlete

21:01 who qualified and will

21:03 compete in the 2024

21:05 Paris Olympics.

21:07 One of the newest additions

21:09 is Elrin Ando who qualified

21:11 after showing her strength

21:13 and won gold

21:15 in the women's 59kg event

21:17 of the 2024 International

21:19 Weightlifting Federation WF World Cup.

21:21 Elrin is thankful

21:23 to all those who supported her.

21:25 And because I am now in front of

21:29 an Olympic medalist and

21:31 World Boxing Champion,

21:33 I will now teach

21:35 some basic skills in boxing.

21:37 "You will do this,

21:39 then this.

21:41 So that is the proper

21:43 stance

21:45 in boxing.

21:47 Jab, jab straight,

21:49 one, one, two,

21:51 four.

21:53 Nice!

21:55 Nice, nice.

21:57 That's good.

21:59 For GMA Integrated News,

22:01 JP Soriano, 24 Hours.

22:03 16 personalities

23:09 personalities are on the list

23:11 of the survey of Okta Research.

23:13 The survey from March 11 to 14

23:15 has 1,200 respondents

23:17 with 18 years of experience.

23:29 The last spot is near Mindanao. It is outside of the Philippine Area of Responsibility and the last spot is 770 kilometers southeast of General Santos City.

23:38 It is said that the chances of this being a typhoon are low and it is not expected that it will enter the PAR.

23:43 However, the so-called LPA will make it rain on some parts of Mindanao.

23:47 According to the Metraweather, the chances of rain in the Sambuanga Peninsula, Barm, Sok Sarjean and Davao region is high.

23:54 There is a strong chance of rain that could flood or cause landslides, so be careful.

23:59 It is also possible for the rain to spread to the Mindanao provinces, Quezon, Palawan, and some parts of the Bicol region, as well as to the eastern and western Visayas.

24:07 The chances of rain in Metro Manila are low.

24:10 Even if the LPA's trough or extension reaches the country, the raging of the ridge, high-pressure area and easterlies continues.

24:17 It was 44 degrees Celsius earlier in Tugegrau City, Cagayan and Katarman, Northern Samar.

24:23 42 degrees Celsius in Nagupan, Pangasinan, Aparikagayan, San Jose, Occidental Mindoro, and Aborlan, Palawan.

24:30 The hot weather will continue in almost the same places for the next two days.

24:35 Goodbye again.

24:36 44 degrees Celsius in Katarman, Northern Samar.

24:39 43 degrees Celsius in Tugegrau City and Aborlan, Palawan are possible.

24:44 And 42 degrees Celsius in other provinces.

24:47 Now, the heat is getting hotter, so always bring an umbrella, drink plenty of water, and wear fresh clothes.

24:56 The boats of the United States and the Philippines will train until the end of the 200 nautical mile Exclusive Economic Zone.

25:06 Chino Gaston is on the scene.

25:12 In the upcoming 2024 exercise, the boats of the United States and the Philippines will train

25:18 until the end of the 200 nautical mile Exclusive Economic Zone of the Philippines.

25:23 Even China is accepting this part and the Chinese Coast Guard, Chinese warships, and Chinese fishing militia are also benefiting from it.

25:32 We will go out to the 12 nautical miles of our territorial waters.

25:36 Our defense concepts have to go beyond 12 nautical miles in order for us to protect our national interests within our territorial waters

25:46 and also within the Exclusive Economic Zone.

25:49 But won't the increasing tensions lead to the return of exercises in the sea that China has already occupied?

25:57 Well, that's their problem. That's not our problem.

25:59 The root cause of this tension is actually the presence of the Chinese forces, naval, coast guard, and maritime militia in our Exclusive Economic Zone.

26:09 If they will only stay in their own Exclusive Economic Zone, there won't be any tension.

26:14 The exercise will be conducted in our EEZ. It will not cause tension.

26:19 The Chinese Foreign Ministry said that the Philippines has been pushing the countries outside the region for a long time

26:25 to back up the Philippines' intention of not violating the consensus of the countries in Southeast Asia.

26:34 But some countries in Southeast Asia, including 13 countries, will send observers to the coast exercises,

26:41 including Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, Indonesia, Brunei, and Malaysia.

26:46 The Philippines' anti-submarine exercises in Australia, Japan, and America in the South China Sea

26:53 near the Palawan in April 7 were also separated by the Reuters.

26:58 But this is not yet officially confirmed by the AFP.

27:02 China's re-exertion of its claim to the Philippine's commitment to remove the BRP Sierra Madre

27:08 was confirmed by National Security Advisor Eduardo Año,

27:11 who has no document to prove the gentleman's agreement.

27:15 According to his former presidential spokesperson,

27:17 former President Rodrigo Duterte and Chinese President Xi Jinping included it.

27:22 The Chinese are always talking about the Philippines' agreement.

27:25 They cannot show anything, not even a document or even identify somebody who said that.

27:34 For GMA Integrated News, who wants to talk? 24 hours.

27:40 It is possible that canned sardines will go up in price according to a group of manufacturers.

27:45 This is due to the suspended clearance of the importation of some fish.

27:50 Tina Panginibanterre was in touch.

27:52 A Canned Sardines Association of the Philippines official

28:00 is predicting that the price of a type of canned fish, canned Bacquerel, may go up.

28:05 This is in accordance with the order of the Department of Agriculture to suspend the import clearance

28:11 for the importation of Galunggong, Mackerel and Bonito.

28:15 Supply will be reduced because of that.

28:18 Although the illegal importation of fish from the markets is not allowed to stop,

28:34 they were not consulted before the DA issued the order.

28:38 Maybe the industry suddenly stopped talking to the industry, between government and industry,

28:51 so that we could find ways and means on how to control it of going into the public budget.

28:57 The Department of Agriculture said that Mackerel can still be imported, but there are conditions.

29:03 I do not believe what they're saying.

29:06 Basically, what is written in my Department of Music order,

29:11 they cannot lose their canned Mackerel.

29:16 What is written in the can for the canners, they can still import the same amount of canned Mackerel,

29:24 but they have a basis for their vaccines.

29:27 The Department of Trade and Industry insisted that it is monitoring the situation

29:31 so that the voters will not be affected.

29:35 We are expecting a meeting to convene the National Price Coordination Council.

29:42 The members of the National Price Coordination Council are the DA, the DPI, and the inter-agency.

29:50 So if there are any specific issues related to pricing, we will discuss it there.

29:58 Our end goal is to present how we will stabilize the price.

30:03 For GMA Integrated News, Tina Panganiban Perez, Nakatotok 24 Hours.

30:09 The police thought of a way to make the expressways free of RFID.

30:16 But what if this is just a defective one?

30:19 Sanja Aguinaldo is in touch.

30:24 This is what happened at the Northern Luzon Expressway on Wednesday,

30:29 a long line of vehicles in Balintawak Tall Plaza,

30:32 in the crowd of Metro Manila.

30:34 The official of Tallways, House Deputy Majority Leader and ACT-CIS Partylist Representative Erwin Tulfo,

30:41 helped them after they received complaints.

30:45 Aside from the high traffic, the vehicles were really full that day.

30:49 Now, NLEX explained that the problem is the one that will not go down.

30:54 Out of 10,000 vehicles, the RFID stickers are defective or the RFID has no load.

31:00 The officers are thinking of a way to make it free of RFID.

31:05 I hope there is a regulatory regime for us to be able to penalize those who enter the expressways

31:12 without sufficient load or with a defective.

31:16 Because now, there is none.

31:18 According to Tall Regulatory Board or TRB,

31:21 the law will issue a signage that says that you are not allowed to enter Tallways if you do not have a load on your RFID.

31:31 If it is a defective, the driver may be fined for the disregarding traffic sign.

31:37 A solution is also being seen to make the traffic faster.

31:42 The plan is to remove the boom barriers in Tall Plaza and make the transaction cashless.

31:49 There is a mechanism to block all those who will pass through.

31:53 And the RFID stickers and readers upgraded NLEX and SLEX.

31:59 We're talking with TRB, SLEX and NLEX to come up with a barrier-less Tallways starting around November.

32:08 So there will be no more barrier.

32:11 We will implement sometime in June the cashless or contactless program,

32:16 meaning we will have full cashless along Tallways, in all Tallways under TRB's jurisdiction.

32:22 And in July or thereafter, we will implement the interoperability phase 3,

32:31 meaning we will have one account or one wallet with one RFID.

32:35 But it is possible that it will take two more years before it is implemented to be able to plant each and every wallet.

32:42 The new infrastructure is also being seen to build expressways, which is something that SLEX is continuously doing.

32:52 We are doing what technology needs to be applied to reduce this problem in our Tallways.

32:58 For GMA Integrated News, Sandra Aguinaldo, for Tutok 24 Horas.

33:04 After more than six years of being married, SPARCAL STARS are now discussing the divorce.

33:14 But if they will clear it, their co-parenting will be fine with their child.

33:19 Let's talk to Aubrey Carampel.

33:21 Being single isn't always a status, it's a choice.

33:29 That's the mantra of SPARCAL STARS' Max Collins after their divorce with Pancho Magno.

33:35 He is open to dating, but he is more careful to enter a new relationship because of his experience.

33:42 I don't believe in marriage. No, I'm sorry. I don't. I mean, I don't personally.

33:46 I believe in marriage for everyone else. I think for me, I feel like that doesn't,

33:51 that's not the basis of what love means to be married. No.

33:56 You can still love each other and be together without being married.

33:59 You know, it's really a commitment. So even if you marry each other, that doesn't mean you'll be together forever.

34:05 For now, Pancho and his wife are discussing their divorce.

34:09 Because I'm an American citizen, I'll divorce.

34:11 Is it in the process already?

34:13 No, it's not active as of now, but soon. We already talked about it. So that's something we're working on.

34:19 When it comes to their child, Sky.

34:21 We're good. We're great. It really works for us. It's been very healthy.

34:26 And we're both happy and our son is very happy. So really, it worked out for the best.

34:32 Aside from the tough police in Matinik na Misis Season 2,

34:35 Max is very busy now as Venus, the villain in the GMA Prime series with Guardian Alien.

34:42 And for the viewers of the legal drama, Lilet Matias, Attorney at Law,

34:47 Attorney Era Simmons has a crossover guesting where Anna Linbaro plays the role of Guardian Alien.

34:54 She played the role of Venus' lawyer.

34:57 This is my lawyer, Attorney Era Simmons.

35:00 Attorney, they are the ones who investigated the case.

35:03 In last night's episode, we already watched the transformation of Marian Rivera as an alien in Catherine's body.

35:11 Later, we'll see the full entry of the Soriano family of Catherine, the alien, after that of Black Rider.

35:20 Obrigarampel, updated to showbiz happenings.

35:24 The taekwondo coach refused to give the hospitalized Yellow Belter a shot,

35:31 after he faced a Black Belter.

35:34 It's not true that he had feelings for the Yellow Belter and he was jealous of her boyfriend.

35:41 Oscar Oida is right.

35:43 The controversial taekwondo sparring of this,

35:49 Cindy, the 17-year-old Yellow Belter, was hospitalized.

35:54 Her real name is not known.

35:55 She was faced with a Black Belter.

36:02 She blamed her coach.

36:05 I had no intention to hit the kid.

36:08 I expected that when I came to taekwondo, I would get hit, injured, and fall.

36:16 All of that was normal. I expected that because we are in physical sports.

36:22 In the interview of the digital news website, Archipelago News,

36:26 the taekwondo coach was hit by a bat.

36:29 He added that it's normal for a man and a woman to face each other in practice,

36:36 even if they are both wearing belts.

36:39 So that the kids can be prepared for the defense, the heavy kick.

36:44 When it comes to the tournament, they are more used to the speed,

36:49 the intelligence, and the heavy kicks of the higher belts or higher weights.

36:58 She also denied the allegation that she was jealous and angry

37:02 when her boyfriend brought flowers to a practice session.

37:07 She said that she was angry at the whole team and not just Cindy

37:12 when she discovered that some members of the team were playing ball that day.

37:18 The star that she likes Cindy is also not true.

37:23 She also explained that she was invited to eat or to attend a worship service.

37:28 When I was invited to eat, I invite everyone.

37:31 If I know that the kid has a problem, he wants to tell a story, I invite him.

37:37 Not just the yellow belt and not just the women.

37:41 The whole team knows that.

37:43 One time, he was invited to attend a worship service.

37:46 He told me a story regarding his family.

37:51 I can't say anything because I was not in that situation at that time.

37:56 I don't have the right to say this or that.

38:01 So, usually, I just told him, "It's better if you're worthy."

38:07 Coach is very sad because as far as he knows, he is already known by his players.

38:14 I'm sad because I watched the video. He is not the one.

38:21 He is not the one. He knows me.

38:23 Meanwhile, the Philippine Taekwondo Association has already received the results of the investigation

38:29 by Jesus Lloyd College Foundation, Inc.

38:33 And it is not different from the results of their own investigation.

38:38 They reviewed the videos of the practice and they did not see any indication

38:44 that the yellow belter was intentionally and ordered to be punched.

38:49 Actually, if you look at the video, the kick is not aimed at the face.

38:55 It's two body kicks.

38:58 Two are aimed at the body.

39:00 It just so happens that the second kick is aimed at the kid.

39:03 So, it might hit the face. But again, in the video that I was watching,

39:09 when I was watching it, I couldn't see how it hit the face

39:13 because it was blocking what was supposed to be a referee for them.

39:17 The GMA Integrated News is trying to get the information of Cindy's family about this.

39:24 For GMA Integrated News, Oscar Oida, for 24 Hours.

39:32 And now, for the news this Thursday, I am Mel Tiangco.

39:35 I am Vicky Morales for a bigger mission.

39:38 For a wider service to the country, I am Emil Sumangin.

39:41 From GMA Integrated News, the news authority of the Philippines, we are in touch, 24 hours.
