00:13 Good morning. Here are the first news brought to you by GMA Integrated News.

00:18 The vigil of the Pistons and Manibelas groups was extended after their first day of their shutdown.

00:25 According to Manibela Chairman Mar Balbuena, 8,000 operators and drivers gathered at the Welcome Rotunda in Quezon City.

00:33 The protesters, drivers and their jeepneys surrounded a large portion of the road.

00:39 Before that, the police and protesters were still protesting.

00:44 Some responded and some forced their way through the police line.

00:49 Some commuters in Pilkoa stood in long lines for three days.

00:54 The vigil of the Pistons and Manibelas will continue today.

00:59 The new price of some petroleum products is effective.

01:04 The price of diesel increased by P95 per liter, P40 per liter of gasoline, while the price of kerosene increased by P85 per liter.

01:12 This is the second week in a row that there is a price hike in diesel and kerosene.

01:17 This is the fifth week in a row for gasoline.

01:20 Starting tomorrow, MMDA will ticket e-bike, e-trike, tricycle, pedicab and other light vehicles that will pass through the National Road in Metro Manila.

01:31 For now, the protesters will just protest.

01:34 MMDA called on e-bike, e-trike and other light vehicles to follow because the protection of all is at stake.

01:45 First, they called for an act of sedition or rebellion.

01:50 Davao del Norte called on Rep. Pantaleon Alvarez to return the support to President Bongbong Marcos.

01:56 They called for a complicated relationship between the Duterte family and former President Rodrigo Duterte.

02:04 Here is our first news of the June veneration.

02:08 It's complicated.

02:13 This is how President Bongbong Marcos described his relationship with the Duterte family,

02:18 among the people who are his relatives, former President Rodrigo Duterte.

02:22 But his relationship with his son, Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte.

02:27 How we were with each other during the campaign, after the election, it hasn't really changed.

02:33 He says, no I'll just work. Don't worry about it. I'll just work and work and work.

02:37 That's her attitude.

02:43 Despite what he called a complicated relationship between the Duterte family,

02:47 the President insisted that Duterte will not give up,

02:50 even if the International Criminal Court issues an arrest warrant against the former President.

02:55 The Duterte family said they will defend the flag peace rally in Tagumdaval del Norte.

03:00 Duterte was again asked by the President to not violate the law.

03:07 President Marcos wants to watch his term.

03:10 Despite the administration's repeated insistence that only economic provisions will change.

03:16 They will only get a term of six years.

03:22 Come here. Come here.

03:30 Come here. Come here.

03:33 Where did he go?

03:35 I don't know him.

03:37 For a term of six years.

03:40 He's just going to be eligible for another re-election.

03:44 Until they kill him.

03:46 Is Marcos going to be eligible for another term?

03:50 Is Marcos going to be eligible for another term?

03:55 Where is his ability?

03:59 In the same meeting, he also discussed the tensions in the West Philippine Sea.

04:04 If the chaos in the West Philippine Sea explodes,

04:08 there will be countless dead bodies.

04:16 There will be unimaginable destruction.

04:22 Famine. Hunger.

04:28 That will happen.

04:32 Before anything happens, I'm talking to you.

04:38 We don't have to hurt each other.

04:41 We don't have to fire a single shot.

04:45 In the meantime, Congressman Pantalon Alvarez called for withdrawal of support from the chief executive in a peaceful manner.

04:52 If they do this, he will not be able to become president but will be removed from his position.

04:57 We are still trying to get the Panig of Palacio.

05:00 Alvarez called for withdrawal of support by a so-called act of sedition or rebellion.

05:06 According to the Solicitor General of the Show, Representative Johnny Pimentel,

05:09 as well as Representative Jordinisus Romualdo,

05:13 criminal cases should be filed immediately against those who spread seditious rumors

05:19 to avoid any rebellion against the government as a military.

05:25 The Department of Justice is studying this but they need to see the whole context of what Alvarez said

05:34 if this will reach the level of sedition.

05:37 The Philippine National Police is also studying this and appealing not to interfere in the withdrawal of support.

05:44 We are loyal to the Constitution and our loyalty is with our fellowmen.

05:51 The uniformed personnel are spared from these political talks.

05:55 The Armed Forces of the Philippines is committed to upholding the military's duty.

06:02 AFP remains to be a professional organization.

06:06 Our mandate is very clear.

06:08 We will protect the Constitution and we will follow the duly constituted authorities.

06:14 In other words, we will follow the chain of command.

06:17 And the President is our commander-in-chief.

06:21 Whoever the President is, it is very clear to all soldiers.

06:25 So I also reminded our soldiers...

06:28 The Northern Representative, Cali Dimaporo, reminded Alvarez to be careful with his words

06:35 because Alvarez's statements against the government

06:38 could lead to the investigation of the House Ethics Committee.

06:42 In a message to the GMA Integrated News,

06:45 Alvarez said that he will follow the investigation of the House Ethics Committee and the DOJ.

06:52 This is the first news.

06:54 Jun Veneracion, Ivan Merina for GMA Integrated News.

06:58 Among those who participated in the peace rally in Tagumdabaw del Norte,

07:02 former Executive Secretary, Atty. Vic Rodriguez.

07:05 We will talk to him this morning.

07:07 Atty. Vic, good morning.

07:09 Good morning Ivan and good morning to all the viewers of your program.

07:13 Thank you for inviting me.

07:15 Atty. Vic, there were a few things that were said in the peace rally.

07:19 Your presence there, does that mean you are in agreement with what was mentioned?

07:25 I was there when the call was made by the Hakbang na Maisog

07:29 for all of us to protect and defend our Constitution, Ivan.

07:33 And there are so many things that are happening now

07:36 that are not in agreement with the provisions of our Constitution.

07:41 That's why I will continue to be with the Hakbang na Maisog

07:45 for our continued call to protect and defend our Constitution.

07:50 Those who are supporting the Charter change are always saying that it's just economic provisions.

07:55 But do you think they will really amend the political provisions for term extension?

08:03 Yes. We are convinced that they will amend the term limitation.

08:12 That's what we're not saying.

08:16 It's clear from the last survey that they have received, the proponents of Charter change,

08:22 have received an 88 percent rejection from the Filipino people.

08:28 Let's not continue to be too divisive.

08:33 Let's focus on the problem of inflation and hunger.

08:37 How can we diffuse and de-escalate the tension in the South China Sea.

08:44 What you're saying, Atty. Vic, we have more pressing problems to deal with.

08:48 But before we go there, you are conducting a regular drug test for government officials.

08:55 Please tell us about this.

08:57 It's a response, my response to those who have challenged my results in November 2021,

09:06 drug test of Den BBM prior to the campaign.

09:11 I'm proud that I showed the peking results of 2021.

09:17 In your program, Ivan, I will tell everyone that I'm defending the results I showed in 2021.

09:25 Den BBM is a negative candidate.

09:29 That's why I said once and for all, because I value my name and integrity and character,

09:34 I had to undergo myself into a drug test, even if I don't need it, to prove that I was a doctor.

09:42 My challenge as a representative in the DILG program, the partnership with private firms and private organizations to have a drug-free workplace,

09:53 in GMA 7, why not have everyone undergo a drug test so that this non-death talk will stop,

10:02 that there are people who are using drugs, who are leading the government.

10:08 Yes. In fact, that's one of the things that former President Duterte said, that President Marcos is using drugs.

10:16 Yes. He mentioned that in January of 2024 in Davao.

10:21 He mentioned it again last Sunday in Tagong.

10:26 He also showed the pre-operation report of PIDEA.

10:31 He also said that President Duterte saw that during his time.

10:36 There was also a person who executed the deal, the agent himself, who will lead or fill up the pre-operation report.

10:47 So to end that, why don't we include the names of people who are involved in hair follicle drug testing.

10:56 This is not a joke. Even in an ordinary workplace, an ordinary employee is subjected to a periodic or random drug testing.

11:07 Why can't we subject the same to those national leaders that are tasked to govern our republic.

11:14 Unfortunately, Attorney Vic, President Marcos was asked that and he said he will not dignify that with a reply.

11:23 It's not dignifying. It's heeding the call and the clamor of the Filipino people.

11:28 You know if you have nothing to hide, it's simple. Just undergo a credible hair follicle drug test.

11:35 Because Ivan, even my daughters who are very very young were subjected to a random drug testing in their school.

11:45 We as parents, we didn't complain. We want our daughters to be associated or classmates with a drug dependent at this very early stage of their life.

11:57 Attorney Vic, President, we will go to the pressing problems you mentioned earlier.

12:02 Some people are unhappy with President Marcos' actions in the country.

12:07 As his former executive secretary, how would you assess the President's performance so far?

12:14 I'm saddened by what I heard. Everywhere I go, the hot issue that is being discussed in Tagong is the violation of the due process of Governor Edwin Obaheb.

12:27 We are discussing this. For me, when I saw his documents, there's a difference because the case of November of 2022, Ivan, and you yourself have covered criminal cases, etc.

12:45 It's been a long time. You will only put him under preventive suspension. Again, the timing is suspect.

12:52 He said that there was a tanker that stopped him from giving his rally permit last Sunday.

12:59 If he didn't give his permission, he will be suspended. Again, this is a violation of the Constitution.

13:05 Again, the hottest issue is how do we diffuse and escalate the tension brewing in our own territory, in the South China Sea.

13:15 The belligerent rhetorics of the government should be stopped. Let's not be too brave.

13:24 The answer to this problem is not a war. Let's be calm, be wise and talk to each other.

13:30 Let us open the line of diplomacy and continue the policy of engagement and employ all available tools for diplomacy.

13:40 Atty. Vic, have you talked to President Marcos or anyone in his inner circle?

13:48 Can you continue to have complicated relationships with the Dutertes?

13:55 Frankly, Ivan, the last time that I got to speak with the President was September 28, 2022, when he invited me to his house across Malacanang.

14:10 That was our last talk. There were some people in the middle who were talking and President Marcos sent some messages, which I appreciate.

14:21 I don't know if they are authorized or not, but I respect them as our friends.

14:28 I suppose they have authority. Am I willing to play the role of bridge or a peacemaker?

14:36 Of course, that's what we want to do here in the South China Sea.

14:40 We want to be pacifists and calm and diffuse and escalate all tensions.

14:47 Atty. Vic, thank you very much for joining us this morning.

14:51 Thank you Ivan. Good morning.

14:52 We have talked to the former Executive Secretary, Atty. Vic Rodriguez.

14:55 Meanwhile, we will listen to the statement of Malacanang and former President Rodrigo Duterte about what Atty. Vic Rodriguez said.

15:03 Meanwhile, how are the four Filipinos in the crew of the container ship, MSC Ares, which was docked in the Strait of Hormuz?

15:14 We will interview the Department of Foreign Affairs Undersecretary Eduardo De Vega.

15:18 Good morning Undersecretary. This is Maris and we are live on our first news.

15:22 Good morning Maris.

15:25 First of all, Usec, do you have an update on the four Filipinos in the ship and have you talked to them?

15:31 Yes. I have an update. I haven't talked to them yet.

15:37 I have talked to the money agency to check on their situation, the new Department of American Workers.

15:46 We are the ones in the DFA who are talking to the government as a country to country foreign relations approach.

15:55 The good news is, number one, they are doing well. They are being fed and they are healthy.

16:01 The good news is, they have talked to their families.

16:08 Each of the four were given the opportunity to contact their families.

16:18 They have been talking to their families for an hour.

16:22 So it means that they were not treated like a prisoner or a hostage. So that's the good news.

16:32 Usec, did they announce that they want to go home? Will they be allowed to go home?

16:38 What is the HAC Bank doing to help them and allow them to go home if they want to?

16:43 Number one, of course they want to go home. No one wants to be in this situation.

16:49 Second, what are we doing? We are talking to our embassy there.

16:56 Today, we will talk to the Iranian ambassador, the foreign secretary.

17:03 Secretary Manalo will be back yesterday.

17:07 But what the Iranian embassy told us so far, including them, I will quote, "They will be released very soon."

17:19 All of them, not just the four Filipinos.

17:21 But let's see if this will work and we will force them because they said they will be released soon.

17:29 They will be released soon because they will not be held hostage or something.

17:38 So that's what we will do.

17:44 Did you talk to their relatives? How are they? Do they have any additional requests from you, Usec?

17:50 Yes, we talked to the government.

17:53 Of course, their request is to make sure that their family will go home safely.

17:58 But they are thankful that they know that the government is doing everything it can.

18:03 Because the government explained that this is not the same situation.

18:11 You know there are hostages in Yemen. This is not the same situation.

18:15 Because there is no indication when they will be released.

18:19 The war in Israel must end, they said.

18:23 But here in Iran, the situation is different. They want to give a message to Iran because they have a replacement in Israel.

18:32 So there is a high possibility that they will be released, especially in this time.

18:38 How about the Filipinos in Israel and Iran in the middle of the war?

18:43 Yes, the Filipinos in Israel and Iran and in the whole Middle East,

18:48 they know that the situation in the Middle East is volatile. They should be prepared.

18:54 There are 30,000 Filipinos in Israel.

18:57 No one is listening to Ambassador Jim Lilo, our ambassador in Tel Aviv.

19:05 He said that no one is saying that they want to go home because the war is coming.

19:10 No, because they are trusting the Israeli defense, the so-called Iron Dome.

19:15 Because 300 Filipinos were released from Iran.

19:27 Not only Iran, there are also coordinated, there are weapons from Yemen, Iraq, Lebanon, and so on.

19:35 But Israel is ready.

19:37 Now, Iran said, his general said, we have already responded to Israel and we don't intend to continue.

19:48 In simple words, we are fair.

19:51 You attack us, we attack you. So that's enough.

19:54 Israel is already fighting.

19:56 We are joining with the Philippine government.

20:02 We are calling on Israel with the world community not to respond.

20:10 We are fair. We don't have any enemies.

20:13 In Iran, there are 2,000 Filipinos there, married to Iranians, professional, simple professionals.

20:22 The government is ready to send them home if they want to.

20:27 But most of them are already Iranian citizens.

20:30 If you marry an Iranian, automatically you are an Iranian citizen.

20:35 So, the government is ready if it needs to.

20:41 But let's see what Israel will do.

20:44 Let's pray that they won't escalate.

20:49 Our foreign secretary released a statement yesterday that we will join in the call that there will be no escalation

20:57 and follow international law.

21:00 Because all of our friends, there are only a few countries in Southeast Asia that have diplomatic relations.

21:09 In all of those countries, we have with Israel, we have with the Arabs, we have with Iranians, we have ambassadors.

21:17 And we have a lot of Filipinos wherever they are.

21:20 So we have a good relationship with them and I think our fellow countrymen won't be hurt in Iran.

21:30 Our fellow countrymen will give safety like the local citizens.

21:36 All right. We're hoping for the best and we are one with you in prayer.

21:39 Thank you very much BFA Undersecretary Eduardo de Vega for your time.

21:44 Good morning. Thank you.

21:46 Take care.

21:47 Long live.

21:48 Here in Metro Manila, there were also protests by drivers and operators in some places in Western Visayas.

21:54 Live from Iloilo City, Zenn is reporting from Tangsasa of GMA Regional TV, One Western Visayas.

22:02 Zenn.

22:04 As a sign of their disagreement in the phaseout of the traditional P.U.J.

22:12 Some drivers here in Iloilo City and Negros Occidental are standing in line.

22:18 Some drivers said that they tried to consolidate but their units did not reach 15.

22:30 That is the reason why they were not able to join the cooperative.

22:34 We were the ones who started the cooperative. We were the ones who were able to get off the bus.

22:39 We were the ones who were able to get off the bus.

22:42 They promised that they will distribute 500 pesos per day.

22:47 But they did not distribute even 5 pesos.

22:50 The operators were not able to get enough to drive.

22:54 Some operators were able to consolidate their P.U.J. units before they left their franchise.

23:01 We were the ones who called for the individual to consolidate and distribute the P.U.J. units to the individual.

23:13 For the passenger, Symel, the government should have prioritized the passengers because they are the ones who are affected.

23:22 It is good for the Japanese to drive. But for us, the Japanese are hungry.

23:26 In the announcement of President Bongbong Marcos, the April 30 consolidation deadline of the P.U.V. modernization will not be extended.

23:34 LTFRB announced that the P.U.J. passengers who did not consolidate by May 1 will be considered as "colorum".

23:49 In Talizay City, Naglos, Occidental, hundreds of P.U.J. drivers gathered to call for the extension of the consolidation

23:57 because they will lose their livelihood if they do not reach the destination.

24:02 This protest is not a joke. Our President is doing his best.

24:06 If he sees that our countrymen are not able to survive, he will be hungry.

24:11 According to LTFRB 6, more than 60% of P.U.J. in Western Visayas have been consolidated.

24:18 [car engine]

24:23 [speaking in Tagalog]

24:37 Thank you very much. Zen Kilantang Sasa of GMA Regional TV 1, Western Visayas.

24:43 The P.U.V. drivers and operators are blocking the Welcome Rotunda area where protests are taking place against the consolidation under the P.U.V. modernization program of the government.

24:54 And live from Quezon City, we have first news with Bam Alegre.

24:57 Bam.

24:58 Good morning. The group of Jeepney drivers and operators are continuing their protest here in the P.U.V. consolidation.

25:12 According to Manibela, the group of people protesting here in our back is expected to be the strongest in their day 2 of their stop.

25:20 As for the commuters, they still have transportation options this morning.

25:25 In Welcome Rotunda, a few Jeepney drivers and operators joined the protest yesterday.

25:34 This is still part of their protest in the P.U.V. modernization program.

25:38 More than two weeks before the deadline of the consolidation.

25:41 They are continuing their protest in their second day of their stop.

25:44 Some drivers and operators said that they are sacrificing their energy to stay here in the area where they are protesting.

25:50 According to Marval Buena, the chairman of Manibela, they will not give up their fight.

25:55 Especially that they will not give up their franchise.

25:58 We saw how passionate the fight of our comrades is.

26:06 I hope that our dear President, our comrades are listening to this and not just a few.

26:14 Because some parts of the road are being blocked, the traffic on Welcome Rotunda is affected.

26:21 The vehicles are not passing the southbound lane of Quezon Avenue from Welcome Rotunda to Bloomingtree.

26:28 In the Panolocan of Spain and Bloomingtree, the motorists are on a detour.

26:31 Some of the passenger jeeps were chosen by the Mamasada, as well as the buses and U.V. Express.

26:36 The employee, Shirley Tamara, who has been waiting for the jeep to go to her workplace,

26:41 is glad that she can leave her house early.

26:43 It's just a waste of time to drive.

26:45 It's just a waste of time.

26:47 It's hard to be an employee.

26:50 The passenger, Jordan Elefante, thinks that transportation is not a waste of time.

26:54 He said that he will wait a little and he will be able to drive.

26:56 I think it's enough.

26:58 I was able to commute yesterday.

27:01 The program here at Welcome Rotunda is still going on.

27:11 The makeshift stage is the roof of their jeepney.

27:14 There are microphones and speakers here talking to the jeepney driver and operator.

27:20 There were also a few intermission numbers earlier.

27:22 The police are also here to check the security situation in the area.

27:27 Here is the first news in Welcome Rotunda.

27:29 Bam Alengre for GMA Integrated News.

27:31 Whatever gift, favor or monetary value,

27:36 as a substitute for their duty, officials and government officials are not allowed to accept according to the Civil Service Commission.

27:42 According to the CSC, following the acceptance of the MMDA,

27:45 a donation of P2,000 from the former Ilocos Sur Governor Chavit Singsong,

27:50 the MMDA will not reward the donation.

27:53 Here is the first news, Oscar Oida.

27:56 One of the things that were seen the other day,

28:00 following the acceptance of the former Ilocos Sur Governor Chavit Singsong,

28:05 he was at the flag ceremony of the MMDA to receive P200,000 from those who caught him.

28:13 No matter what happened, I want to show that nobody is above the law.

28:20 I went there to apologize and I hope that you will not catch me.

28:29 The MMDA accepted the donation but they clarified that it will not be given to the people who were caught.

28:36 That will be received as a donation to the agency.

28:40 There is no strings attached to it.

28:43 That does not mean that we will give a special favor to the Governor.

28:49 We will show that we enforce the traffic laws regardless of who we catch.

28:59 In fact, he will pay the penalty of the drivers to show that he is fulfilling our regulations.

29:07 But according to the Civil Service Commission, the MMDA should not receive the money.

29:13 CSC Commissioner Aileen Lizada pointed out that under the Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees,

29:21 officials and government officials are not allowed to receive any gift, favor or any monetary value for their service.

29:31 The enforcers have already paid them.

29:34 They have already paid the people.

29:36 We have already paid our salary to the people.

29:39 And you do not have to reward us for doing our work.

29:43 In my experience, I used to be with the Office of the Ombudsman under the law 6713.

29:47 The MMDA again said that the money received from Singson is not a reward but a donation and will go to the general fund of the MMDA.

29:59 According to the LTO, aside from the violation, Singson used a car as a target.

30:07 I don't know if it's locally assembled or imported, how it entered the Philippines. That's another story.

30:14 The search for the owner of the eight plates that were caught on the EDSA busway last Thursday is still ongoing.

30:21 The same goes for the female driver who introduced herself as an AFP and the daughter of a major general.

30:27 The general she mentioned is already denied the charges.

30:31 We are doing a background check on who that person is, what kind of vehicle it is, so we can issue a show-cause.

30:37 This is the first news. Oscar Oida for the Jimmy Integrated News.

30:42 We will talk about the various issues in traffic with MMDA chairperson Atty. Romando Artes. Good morning Atty. Artes.

30:51 Good morning to you and to all of you who are watching.

30:55 Let's start with the connection to e-bikes, e-trikes, and other vehicles that passed through the national road that you mentioned in Metro Manila.

31:04 So now, they will be stopped and tomorrow, they will be arrested and arrested.

31:11 That's right. To provide sufficient information, our countrymen are now prohibited to use e-trikes and e-bikes in the areas that are listed in our MFC resolution.

31:28 But we will just wait. Tomorrow, we will be arrested.

31:33 Yesterday, you were arrested in many places.

31:37 I have seen some videos but I have seen some feedback.

31:44 Do they know that there's such an order or they don't know?

31:49 Actually, they know. It's just that maybe they are afraid of the road and there's no enforcer.

31:59 But just the same, we arrested them and they were released. They were transferred to the road where they can pass.

32:07 Tomorrow, they will be arrested. Chairman, the 200,000 pesos donation of former local governor Chavez-Singson to MMDA, you have received it.

32:19 But as Civil Service Commissioner Aileen Lizada said, it's prohibited and it's not considered as a donation.

32:27 Well, the premise is wrong. Our agency has income retention because we have two sources of funds.

32:38 One is national, which is included in the GAA. The other is local, which is our share in the ERA and other sources, like penalties and addressions.

32:50 Our local fund allocates to MMDA and approves to the Metro Manila Council.

33:01 So it should not go through the GAA.

33:04 Second, she's confusing it because we received it as a reward. It's not a donation to our agency and it cannot go to the employees.

33:17 It will go to the fund of MMDA, local fund in particular.

33:24 We will include it in our programs and the Metro Manila Council will approve it. There's no violation in that.

33:36 But it should be clear because it's not good if everyone will be caught. It's good to give donation.

33:47 Well, there's no strings attached. In fact, the governor paid for the two tickets, the penalty is P5,000.

34:01 He paid for it before he donated. We showed the receipt.

34:07 It's bad if we cancel the ticket or give him a special favor, that after donating, he can go to the bus carousel.

34:19 There's no such thing. In fact, he's calling for not to be forced and he promised not to repeat it.

34:27 If he will violate the traffic law and we will catch him, we will still close him and we will not give him a special favor.

34:36 Okay. Day two of the transport strike of Manibel and Ms. Stone. How's our monitoring Chairman?

34:43 Chairman?

34:48 Because of the heat in the Philippines, the chaos will not disappear. That's why some people are earning money.

34:55 We have a live news. Nico Wahel. Nico!

34:59 Maris, good morning. Many people are really hot-headed because of the hot weather.

35:06 But there are others who are earning money because of the hot weather, especially those who sell halohalo.

35:12 But Maris, there are more people who are earning money because of the hot weather.

35:16 Those who sell halohalo are called sahog.

35:23 Sahog of halohalo is what you are looking for.

35:26 Gulaman, sago, sweet snack, langka, beans, saging, leche flan and ube.

35:33 All of those can be bought at a glance in this store in the Blue Man Trade Market in Manila.

35:38 It's only 4 o'clock in the early morning and the Mami Mili are already smoking this store.

35:43 According to its owner, Rodelin, the Mami Mili are very careful especially now that it's hot.

35:49 It's okay. It's strong. Sometimes, they are already here.

35:53 And sometimes, there are a lot of orders. We have a lot of delivery.

35:58 We have a lot of customers now. It's too hot.

36:03 According to those who sell halohalo like Grames,

36:06 they can save a lot of money because they can buy the things they need at a glance and ready to eat.

36:11 The difference is bigger compared to the bottle.

36:14 The bottle is 70 pesos.

36:19 But here, it's half. It's 45 pesos.

36:22 I'm already tired.

36:24 Each piece of gulaman is 2 pesos.

36:26 Each kilo of sago is 40 pesos.

36:29 The sahog like kaong and garbanzos are sold for 25 to 35 pesos each.

36:36 Beans, monggo and sweetened bananas are 30 pesos.

36:40 The makapuno and langka are sold for 45 pesos.

36:44 Leche flan is 50 to 60 pesos.

36:47 Ube is 100 pesos per kilo.

36:50 At that price, Grames sells halohalo for 40 pesos.

36:55 Joanna has been selling halohalo for a week.

36:59 But she feels that her customers are a lot.

37:02 I earn a little. If you earn one gig in a day, it's okay.

37:09 Marie said that the weather is expected to be hotter in the next few days.

37:14 It also means that the sales are higher for those who sell halohalo and those who sell sahog of halohalo.

37:21 Live from Blue Man Treats in Manila, I'm Nico Juarez for GMA Integrated News.

37:26 The mutual defense treaty between the Philippines and America will be implemented

37:31 in case of a Filipino who will die in an attack by any country in the Philippines,

37:35 according to President Bombom Marcos.

37:38 If any Filipino serviceman is killed by an attack from any foreign power,

37:46 then that is time to invoke the mutual defense treaty.

37:49 According to the President, whatever attack the Philippines will have on the coast guard or navy,

37:55 as long as there is a dead Filipino, the agreement will be implemented.

37:59 Under the mutual defense treaty, the Philippines and America will move as the answer

38:04 to an armed attack by another country within the occupied territory of the two countries.

38:11 In addition to the President, the Philippines has no plan to add

38:15 the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement or EDCA site here in the country.

38:19 Just last week, the Philippines, Japan, and America held a trilateral summit

38:25 where China's aggression against the West Philippine Sea will be discussed.

38:29 [music]

38:39 The series "Afternoon Prime" and "Prime Time" will have an ultimate crossover

38:44 where the two countries will reach their dreams as Black Rider.

38:47 Doc Annalyn Santos meets Elias Guerepo, alias Black Rider.

38:52 The character of Jillian Ward will cross the line again in "Prime Time" and now in "Black Rider".

38:58 Jillian's character has also appeared in the "Abot Kamay na Pangarap" in the series "Royal Blood".

39:04 Jillian and I challenged them to do a taping for the action scenes in "Black Rider".

39:09 For two years, I was just in the hospital doing taping.

39:14 It was just a bit relaxed, but here, the whole body is really used, riding a motorcycle.

39:20 Then, there's a gun, then it's stressful.

39:23 So, it's nervous because I'm riding a motorcycle again.

39:27 Of course, Jillian Ward's life is in my hands.

39:30 We really need to be careful.

39:32 Meanwhile, let's take a look at the anchors and reporters of GMA Integrated News.
