00:00 A jeepney driver was arrested for driving drunk in Camarines Sur.
00:08 "Kuya, I'm out of here, I'm out of here!"
00:15 According to the passers-by, at first, the jeepney was running slowly from Calabanga to Naga City.
00:22 But as time went by, the driver's speed increased.
00:26 The passenger next to the driver was forced to turn around because of fear.
00:30 The driver stopped in front of a chapel and the passengers got off there.
00:35 The police responded and the jeepney was released.
00:39 The driver fell asleep on the road because he was drunk.
00:43 He was arrested for reckless driving.
00:46 The LTO and LTFRB police are now in charge of the next action.
00:52 China called for a joint statement between the Philippines, America and Japan
00:57 that is demanding to be responsible for China's aggressive actions.
01:02 At the middle of the trilateral summit, some experts observed the use of Chinese vessels in Bajo de Macinloc.
01:08 Chino Gaston witnessed it.
01:10 The Philippine Coast Guard confirmed that 25 Chinese fishing militia ships
01:18 are now gathering in Bajo de Macinloc.
01:22 Two Chinese Coast Guard ships with bow number 3106 and 3302 were also spotted.
01:28 In addition, the PCG spokesperson for the West Philippine Sea
01:31 said that two fishing militia ships were seen by the Coast Guard inside Bajo de Macinloc.
01:36 In a social media post, 10 Chinese fishing militia ships were seen by security analyst Ray Powell
01:42 along with two Chinese Coast Guard ships.
01:46 The Philippine Coast Guard confirmed and monitored that there were more than six Chinese fishing militia ships
01:54 that were seen there this February when the GMA Integrated News went there
01:58 along with the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources,
02:01 along with the Chinese fishing militia in Nangharang in the B-Far ship so that it would not be close to Bahura.
02:07 We are trying to get explanations from the Chinese embassy
02:11 as to why the Chinese ships suddenly increased in number in the area.
02:14 A security analyst said that the activities of China in the West Philippine Sea
02:20 may be connected to the arrest of President Bongbong Marcos,
02:23 U.S. President Joe Biden and Japanese Prime Minister Kishida Humeo in Washington, D.C. in America.
02:30 It might be a coincidence that it just so happened that the fishing ground is fertile.
02:35 So it's an ideal season to converge in that area.
02:39 Another possible option is that they might be sending a signal that they're showing Chinese resolve
02:45 despite the holding of the trilateral summit.
02:49 According to the Chinese Foreign Ministry, it is clear that the three-nation joint statement was made in China.
02:55 China is committed to manipulating and forming groups in the region
03:00 or any other alliance that is in the way of the Segalot.
03:04 China has also legally restricted their ships and they have sovereignty in the South China Sea
03:10 as well as the Aungin Shoal where the PRC-Sierra Madre is located.
03:14 The Chinese Foreign Ministry called Philippine Ambassador Jaime Flor Cruz
03:18 in connection with the negative comment against China.
03:22 This is also what China did to the Japanese ambassador.
03:25 In connection with the so-called gentleman's agreement between former President Rodrigo Duterte
03:31 and Chinese President Xi Jinping, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said that the Philippines did not participate in the talks.
03:38 The Philippines denied the existence of the gentleman's agreement between China and the Duterte administration.
03:47 Officials of the Marcos administration and President Bombo Marcos said several times that they have no record of such talks.
03:55 Former Chief Presidential Legal Counsel Salvador Panelo also denied it.
04:00 Last night, former President Duterte spoke about this.
04:04 I have not conceded anything to China.
04:07 Aside from the fact of having a handshake with President Xi Jinping,
04:15 the only thing I remember was that status quo.
04:21 That's the word.
04:23 I assure you that if it was a gentleman's agreement,
04:30 it would always have been an agreement that would keep the peace in the South China Sea.
04:41 In a meeting, they said that China has given him information about Xi Jinping.
04:47 I said, Mr. President, we would insist that China, or not all of it,
04:58 but there is a part of the China Sea that belongs to the Philippines.
05:03 I will dig my own grave.
05:06 I just want to let you know.
05:09 This is Xi Jinping's answer.
05:13 I am afraid you cannot do that.
05:19 I said, why, Mr. President?
05:23 I already instructed him.
05:25 I will get it from that portion of the Red China Sea that belongs to the Philippines.
05:34 He said, please do not do it.
05:38 At the Trilateral Summit in America,
05:41 America strengthened their Anilay-Ironclad commitment to the alliance in the Philippines.
05:46 But the former President said,
05:48 If you are interested really in defending the Philippines,
05:55 why do you wait for a war to happen?
05:59 Why don't you go there and give the protection that is being mounted?
06:09 The Chinese Embassy said,
06:11 The tensions between China and the Philippines did not happen here in the Philippines
06:16 if not because of the US' aggression.
06:19 The Philippine Climate Change Commission said,
06:21 China is being blamed for the destruction of thousands of hectares of coral reefs in the West Philippine Sea.
06:27 More than 8,000 of which is attributable to the activities of China.
06:32 So far as the cost, really unimaginable, irreparable.
06:36 That is what I can say.
06:38 I really do not know how to compute it.
06:40 Those cases were created by the crash of corals.
06:45 So it means that dead corals were crushed and then there is a possibility that they were hit.
06:52 The Chinese Embassy has not yet responded to the Philippine Climate Change Commission's statement.
06:58 For GMA Integrated News, who will be your witness?
07:04 From the previous 100,000 pesos, the PhilHealth cover benefit was increased to more than 1 million pesos for breast cancer treatment.
07:12 Witness, Jimmy Santos.
07:14 The severe illness is severe and the cost of it is more than bearable because of the expensive treatment just like breast cancer.
07:27 For each chemotherapy treatment, the family of Barbie spends more than 20,000 pesos
07:34 for the diagnosis of stagelary breast cancer in 2022.
07:38 They have already had 8 sessions of chemotherapy.
07:41 Now, her mother is admitted in a hospital in Manila.
07:45 After the operation in February, the mother is already suffering from other diseases.
07:51 The doctor said that she is already in stage 4 with lungs, meds.
07:55 She also has a problem with her liver.
07:58 We also did an abdomen CT scan.
08:02 It's expensive. It cost 32,000 pesos.
08:06 PhilHealth's use has helped them.
08:10 However, the medication of a patient under chemotherapy is not covered by PhilHealth.
08:17 We also pay for the medicines.
08:25 To balance the financial burden of breast cancer patients, PhilHealth increased their Z-benefits for breast cancer.
08:33 Surgery or operation is included in the cloud of natural policy.
08:37 The medicines and therapies that will be needed.
08:40 Qualified patients can benefit from Z-benefits for breast cancer that will be paid up to 1.4 million pesos.
08:50 This is open to all Filipinos who need to be treated for breast cancer.
08:56 And the member or the dependent of the member,
08:59 that means legal spouse, children below 21 years of age,
09:04 can benefit from the Z-benefits.
09:09 They should meet the criteria.
09:13 The enhanced PhilHealth package for breast cancer includes stage 0 to 4,
09:17 including the current medicines, as long as it meets the criteria.
09:22 This package can be used and available to contracted hospitals of PhilHealth throughout the country.
09:30 Our holistic approach means that from the beginning to the end,
09:35 until the patient recovers, PhilHealth will help.
09:40 For JMA Integrated News, Jamie Santos is your reporter.
09:45 The price of oil products is expected to rise next week.
09:51 The expected increase is estimated to be up to a dollar per liter of diesel and kerosene.
09:57 The price of gasoline can rise up to 20 centimeters.
10:03 At the time, the Department of Energy, Oil Industry Management Bureau Director Rodela Romero
10:08 is the reason for the rising price of gasoline.
10:12 This is the reason why Israel and Hamas are continuously causing trouble in Gaza Strip.
