00:00Good morning. Here are the first news updates of GMA Integrated News.
00:09The Department of Health Spokesperson Assistant Secretary Albert Francis Domingo has issued a heat index of 40 to 48 degrees Celsius for the exposure of the body to coffee.
00:23Let's remember that the normal body temperature is 37 to 37 degrees Celsius.
00:30So if it's said to be 48, it's a bit hotter.
00:34But coffee is typically around 50 to 60 degrees.
00:39So let's think about it, the area around our body is covered by coffee that is not that hot.
00:47In our interview with Asek Domingo earlier, he also said that the heat stroke is not something that happens suddenly.
00:53That's why it can be caused.
00:55It starts with heat cramps.
00:58It should be caused by drinking a lot of water and smoking because if not, it can cause heat exhaustion
01:05until a person loses consciousness, which can be called a heat stroke.
01:10It can also be a factor of high blood pressure for a person who might have a heart attack.
01:22The Chinese students in Cagayan province are watching closely.
01:26Cagayan 3rd District Representative Joseph Lara and Isabela 6th District Representative Paustino D. are in charge of the possible threat to the economy and national security.
01:37Two new Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement or EDCA sites are in Cagayan, which is part of the Cooperation Agreement with the United States.
01:45It is near the province of Taiwan, which is adjacent to China.
01:48It is known that he received a report that there are 4,600 Chinese students in one university.
01:55According to Governor Manuel Mamba, there are only 400 Chinese students in the province,
02:01based on the data provided by the Commission on Higher Education Region 2.
02:08I don't see any threat, but that is not for me to say because we have security agencies.
02:14As far as I know, there was never a mention of the threat of the Chinese students' presence here since I became ARPOC and now PPOC, head of our province.
02:29It's not a question that we are against foreign students.
02:33What we are thinking is, why all of a sudden, the influx of Chinese students here,
02:39and one of the reasons why each one of us is here, is considering that we have an issue in China.
02:48In the middle of CHED Region 2, they are going through a tight process in accepting foreign students.
02:53The Bureau of Immigration confirmed that there are more foreign students in the country.
02:57They are small students based on endorsements from CHED and their schools.
03:04However, the Armed Forces of the Philippines is monitoring the security of EDCA sites inside the Philippine military bases.
03:14Vice President Sarno Duterte thanked President Bongbong Marcos for his continued trust in him as the Education Secretary.
03:23Following this, the President assured that he will remain in his office.
03:28VP Duterte is in the middle of a misunderstanding between First Lady Liza Araneta Marcos.
03:34Duterte also said that the personal feelings of the First Lady have nothing to do with her mandate as an official of the government.
03:45Kapuso, we are now under the Kamuning Flyover.
03:49According to the study of the Japan International Cooperation Agency,
03:53this Kamuning Flyover is one of the critical bridges in case the big one we are preparing will hit.
04:01That is why it is important for it to remain safe and strong.
04:06Today, the Pre-Closure Preparations of the Department of Public Works and Highways started.
04:12This is the scaffolding that construction workers will use to start their work on closing the flyover on May 1.
04:27Aside from that, there will be canopies to convert this part of the flyover to a construction site.
04:36This will become a temporary barracks for construction workers.
04:40Before the retrofitting of the Kamuning Flyover,
04:45we will talk this morning with the Regional Director of DPWH-NCR, Engineer Lori Malaluan.
04:54Engineer, good morning.
04:56Good morning.
04:57My first question to our countrymen is,
05:00isn't this just a retrofit in 2022? Why does it need to be closed again?
05:04Actually, in 2022, there were potholes and cracks that we saw during the structural assessment.
05:14That is why we repaired the Span 15 and put concrete epoxies on the cracks.
05:24Okay. Now, we will do something different.
05:27What is it?
05:28We will do a full redecking of the slabs in Spans 1 and 2.
05:34When you say full redecking, you mean the surface?
05:36Yes.
05:37The surface that the vehicles will pass through?
05:39We will replace the slabs above the flyover.
05:44Okay.
05:45Kapusong, Engineer Malaluan showed me earlier the cracks that we are talking about.
05:51Ma'am, please teach us.
05:52Are these the white ones that you mentioned earlier?
05:54Yes.
05:55These white ones mean that the water is really flowing to the cracks of our deck.
06:05That is the evidence that we really need to fix our deck
06:11because there are potholes in the water up to the bottom slab.
06:15Those potholes are from the flood?
06:18This is from wear and tear.
06:21Most likely, this is from wear and tear because this is almost 32 years old since it was built.
06:32Okay.
06:33Then, hundreds of thousands of vehicles pass through here.
06:36Trucks, private vehicles, everything.
06:38Yes.
06:39So, wear and tear is really good here.
06:41Ma'am, you mentioned earlier about the critical bridge of the flyover
06:46in case of a severe flood.
06:48What will we do about this?
06:50We will put a restrainer.
06:54This restrainer will hold the substructure and superstructure
07:04so that in case of a severe flood, our truck will not fall and stop immediately.
07:12So, this is the support and this is the bridge.
07:15So, we will make it stronger.
07:18Yes.
07:19Yes.
07:20We will put a restrainer so that if we see during earthquakes,
07:29the bridge will collapse because its superstructure will separate from the substructure.
07:36That is what we will do.
07:37That is what we will do.
07:38We will also put carbon fiber to further strengthen our bridge.
07:44What is the purpose of that carbon fiber?
07:47It is for additional reinforcement of our carbon fiber so that it will be lighter and thinner
07:58for additional reinforcement of our bridge.
08:03The schedule of our work is from May 1st to October 25th.
08:08Our motorists are asking if there will be an EXE for that.
08:12Maybe it can be done faster so that it will be easier for our motorists.
08:16Actually, the total contract duration is almost a year.
08:20360 calendar days.
08:22But we are hoping to finish this above within 6 months.
08:28But we are also giving instructions or meeting with the contractors
08:33that if the work is 24x7,
08:38if our people can be added so that it will be shorter than 6 months
08:44so that our flyover can be opened immediately to the public.
08:49I will also add that maybe we have other bridges, other important roads that will be done or will be strengthened.
08:56As of now, our Magallanes flyover is also scheduled.
09:00There will be a replacement of expansion joints.
09:04Here in our Quezon Avenue flyover, there will also be a retrofitting.
09:11But just like we will not move the roof, we will also put a restrainer.
09:19That is why the work will be done below.
09:21So there will be no closure?
09:24Not like here?
09:26Maybe we will have a closure in the Magallanes flyover.
09:31But as much as possible, we are looking at the schedule
09:35so that the closure of our projects will not be simultaneous.
09:39Thank you very much, Engineer.
09:41We talked to Engineer Lori Malaluan, DPWH-NCR Regional Director.
09:47While the Kamaning flyover is being done,
09:50it will still pass through open lanes and bus carousels only
09:55and not private vehicles.
09:57So private motorists, we need to look for alternative routes.
10:01Let's avoid the Kamaning flyover area here in Quezon City.
10:06Metro Manila Development Authority is now studying the removal of bike lanes in EDSA.
10:12What can you say about that, cyclists?
10:14Find out in the first news live from Bam Alegre.
10:20Bam?
10:22Good morning.
10:23Bike lanes became important during the pandemic.
10:26But now, MMDA is studying if there is a way to remove them,
10:29especially in EDSA.
10:30Here is the street hearing.
10:36Since the community quarantine until now,
10:38construction worker Renato Pérez is saving a lot
10:41when he rides his bike to work.
10:43He has to exercise.
10:44He has to pay for his transportation to EDSA.
10:49Now, MMDA is studying the removal of bike lanes in EDSA.
10:52Renato is in charge of it.
11:06According to MMDA,
11:07bike lanes are being removed because they are underutilized.
11:10Or because they are wide and motorcyclists can pass through them.
11:15One of the cyclists, Abner Fernandez,
11:18doesn't like that.
11:19From Quezon City to Pasig,
11:20he just rides his bike.
11:26If cyclists and riders have lane sharing,
11:29this is what Albert Ormoc, a delivery rider, thinks.
11:35TNVS riders won't miss cyclists in bike lanes
11:38if they remove them.
11:39EDSA is dangerous for cyclists.
11:43It's better to move bikes to other lanes.
11:46Not to EDSA.
11:48EDSA is usually full of cars.
12:00Again, it's underutilized.
12:02According to MMDA,
12:031,500 bikers pass through EDSA every day
12:07compared to 117,000 motorcycle riders
12:11who also pass through EDSA.
12:13This is Street Hirit from Quezon City,
12:15Bamalegre for GMA Integrated News.
12:18China's militia vessels have been spotted in Recto Bank.
12:22As well as dead fish in Ruzul Rift
12:25in the new mission of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources
12:29in the West Philippine Sea.
12:31We have first news from Chino Gaston.
12:33Chino Gaston.
12:38Chinese fishing militia vessels
12:40were spotted by the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources
12:44or BFAR
12:45that brought dead fish to Recto Bank in the West Philippine Sea.
12:50Even though Recto Bank is in the Exclusive Economic Zone of the Philippines,
12:54which is said to be rich in oil and natural gas,
12:58the Filipinos say that Chinese fishing vessels are always there
13:03but they are not aware of it.
13:06They also say that they do not see fish.
13:11We are with the Chinese vessels near BFAR.
13:16This is how the Chinese fishing militia looks like.
13:20They are gathering, but there are no fish.
13:22And most of all, they are not leaving the Exclusive Economic Zone of our country.
13:34On the second day of the refueling mission,
13:36the China Coast Guard Vessel 4202 arrived
13:39according to BFAR from Iungin Shoal.
13:42This is one of the Philippine Coast Guard and AFP Resupply Vessels
13:46that are always with them.
13:48And on this day, it landed two rubber boats and circled the BFAR Vessel.
13:56This is when they approached the Chinese militia vessel.
14:01In the mission of BFAR and PCG,
14:0322 large boats were given a free crudo.
14:07While the boats were refueling,
14:09BFAR accompanied us in their inspection of the nearby Rosul Reef.
14:15This is where a large part of the reef emerged dead and white.
14:19Some dead coral formations seem to have been hit by the wind.
14:24It can also be seen in the underwater video
14:26that the color and type of the broken corals hit by the waves are different from the coral of the reef.
14:31On the other hand, there are signs that the environment is recovering.
14:35There are clownfish that were caught in its sea anemone
14:38and small fish that returned to the dead corals.
14:41In those parts, I think we need further verification on those things.
14:47According to fishermen,
14:48of the 10 fish aggregator devices that were placed in the Recto Bank on April 4,
14:53only 6 are left.
14:55They did not know if it was deliberately cut off.
14:58Of the 10 that we dropped, only 6 were left.
15:04That's why we were worried because there are boats there,
15:09the so-called longline.
15:12Could it have been cut off?
15:14Maybe.
15:15Because it's not easy to cut off the corals, sir,
15:18if their longline was not cut off.
15:20Those reports are still subject for verification, sir.
15:23But other than that, sir,
15:24the factors like that, sir, we can say that it was just cut off by the waves, sir.
15:29Not necessarily that someone cut it off or removed it, sir.
15:32What are these corals?
15:34And why are they important to fishermen?
15:37The BIFAR rubber boat was removed
15:38and we will go here to the so-called fish aggregator device,
15:42or corals, if fishermen call it,
15:44to see what are the good effects of this
15:47to the fishermen who go here to get rich sea.
15:52This is the first news, Chino Gaston,
15:54for GMA Integrated.
16:23Malacanang and several government agencies are in panic.
16:27In the spreading video online,
16:28the voice of President Bongbong Marcos was used.
16:34We must not allow the other nation to abuse our rights and sovereignty within our territory.
16:43According to the Department of Information and Communications Technology,
16:46According to the Department of Information and Communications Technology,
16:49President Marcos was not the one who spoke.
16:53It is possible that artificial intelligence or AI was used to copy the President's voice.
17:00The Presidential Communications Office reminded netizens
17:03to watch those who are being watched online.
17:07The DICT will consult with the police and the National Bureau of Investigation
17:11to determine who is behind this.
17:16PINK MOON
17:21We are enjoying sightseeing on the full moon.
17:26Like Ralph Gonzales who took pictures of the full moon.
17:30It gave light to the sky of Matakla, Goa, and Camarinasur.
17:34But the moon did not turn pink.
17:36Pink moon is now called the full moon in some western countries,
17:39like America, because it is the season
17:41when every type of pink flower blooms.
17:45Today, let's hope for a warm and sunny weather.
17:49It is possible that the heat index will rise to 47 degrees Celsius
17:52in Sangli Point, Cavite, according to Pagasa.
17:5546 degrees Celsius in Dagupan, Pangasinan.
17:5845 degrees Celsius in Pasay City, Subic, Zambales,
18:01San Jose, Occidental, Medoro, Aburan, Palawan, and Rojas, Capiz.
18:05It is possible that the heat index will rise to 44 degrees Celsius.
18:09Today, in Togagaroc, Cagayan, Muñoz, Nueva Ecija, Tanawan, Batangas,
18:12Puerto Princesa, Palawan, Legazpel Bay, and Birac, Catanduanes.
18:17Be careful, Kapuso, and drink plenty of water.
18:21I am Yanzu Pertera.
18:23Know the weather before you go.
18:25So that you will always be safe.
18:28Kapuso.
18:30The GW Network was awarded for its service
18:34in the field of sports in colleges and universities in the country.
18:38First news, Bon Aquino.
18:42The story of the trials and triumphs of Filipino athletes
18:46is brought to you by GMA Integrated News on television,
18:49radio, and digital platforms.

19:08He said this in front of the Sports Directors
19:11at the held 2nd Annual Tertiary Sports Leaders Congress.
19:15In the GMA Network, we believe in the value of sports
19:19and its ability to inspire and bring communities together.

19:47but also the local athletes.
19:49Amoroso gave the importance of digital and social media platforms
19:53when it comes to sports,
19:55which was also discussed in the GMA Masterclass Social Media Literacy Series
20:00with the NCAA athletes.
20:01We have taught them that when used responsibly,
20:05for the good,
20:07social media can,
20:09one, promote themselves,
20:11their team,
20:13and their league,
20:15attract potential professional teams and sponsors,
20:18and provide fans, followers, and supporters news and updates
20:22about their activities.
20:24Amoroso also shared that GMA Integrated News
20:28will cover the 2024 Paris Olympics.
20:31What GMA has done in documenting the life stories of athletes
20:36is really commendable.
20:38And it is important because it is done in an assembly
20:41where we have put together
20:43all the sports directors,
20:45the coaches,
20:47the sports officials
