00:00In the midst of this, three Chinese survey and research
00:29vessels in Ayungin Shoal.
00:31Witnesses are Raffi Tima, Ian Cruz, and Marisol Abdurrahman.
00:41This is how powerful the Chinese water cannon is in the BRP Datu Bangkaw of the P4.
00:49The BRP Bagakay of the Philippine Coast Guard was with Datu Bangkaw for the maritime patrol
00:54and distribution of food and diesel to fishermen.
00:57But according to the PCG, four China Coast Guard and six Chinese militia vessels
01:02were engaged in dangerous maneuvers and obstructed the Philippine ships.
01:07The BRP Datu Bangkaw is very powerful.
01:10Before the last jet in the morning, when the ships were already close to Baho de Masinlo,
01:15the BRP Datu Bangkaw was hit by water and hit its starboard aster.
01:21As the water cannon continued, the China Coast Guard and the B4 vessel collided.
01:34According to the National Task Force for the West Philippine Sea,
01:38several ships were damaged, including its electrical navigation and radio systems,
01:43after it bombed the underwater water eight times.
01:47It also bombed the CCG and Maritime Militia three times.
01:55According to the PCG, the BRP Bagakay of the PCG was helped by two Chinese ships.
02:03Three ships of the China Coast Guard immediately plunged far from Baho de Masinlo.
02:08In the distance, a ship of the Chinese Navy was seen.
02:13At one point, the BRP Datu Bangkaw of the B4 was separated from the BRP Bagakay of the Philippine Coast Guard
02:20after a large ship of the China Coast Guard collided.
02:23In order to escape, the ships were engaged in invasive maneuvers.
02:29We were able to escape, but the Chinese Coast Guard ships were very close.
02:35This kind of maneuver is very dangerous.
02:39Because of any mistake, we could be hit.
02:43The situation was like this earlier, maybe 20 to 30 minutes,
02:47the battle was like cat and mouse.
02:50The B4 ship was blocked earlier,
02:53that's why our Coast Guard ships were maneuvering to escape.
02:57Eight ships of the China Coast Guard were maneuvering in our direction
03:00until the Coast Guard ships were able to escape from the blockade of China towards Baho de Masinlo.
03:05Our captain was maneuvering to escape from the blockade of China.
03:12The direction of Scarborough Shoal is here.
03:15We were forced to go here by the Chinese Coast Guard.
03:18They were trying to prevent us from entering Baho de Masinlo.
03:23But now, our direction is here, towards Baho de Masinlo.
03:29Two Chinese militia boats were blocking our path,
03:32but the BRP Bagacay was able to escape easily.
03:35A few moments later, we were able to reach the Bahura Bay itself,
03:39a rare opportunity for a ship of the Philippine Coast Guard.
03:42But the ships of the China Coast Guard caught up with us immediately,
03:45and within a few minutes, they opened their water cannon.
03:49This is one of the rare occasions where the Philippine Coast Guard opened their water cannon.
03:54And now, the China Coast Guard is doing this at Baho de Masinlo.
03:58As far as I know, this is the first time that a ship of the Philippine Coast Guard
04:06was able to get this close to Baho de Masinlo.
04:08At first, the Chinese Coast Guard's water cannon was just a warning shot
04:12to our vehicle.
04:15At the same time, the water cannon of the CCG 5303 was opened.
04:20A few moments later, our vehicle was hit.
04:24Because I was still flying my drone,
04:26I was not able to enter the ship to complete the mission.
04:29The bridge of the ship was blocking me and the powerful opening of the water cannon.
04:35I was surrounded by the water cannon of the China Coast Guard.
04:41I'll go inside first.
04:45Ah!
04:51The water cannon of the China Coast Guard took a long time to open
04:54while the captain was maneuvering to avoid the important items outside the ship.
04:59The water cannon of the China Coast Guard was still open
05:02while our Philippine Coast Guard ship was driving.
05:05Because the water cannon was so powerful,
05:08you can really feel the pressure inside the pilot's house.
05:13The water cannon of the China Coast Guard was stopped for a while
05:16after the Philippine Coast Guard radioed to the Danubians.
05:19Stop your water cannon.
05:21You are posing danger to our peasant.
05:23This is against the international and Philippine national law and order.
05:27Because of the power of the water cannon of the China Coast Guard,
05:30the left railing of the BRP Bagacay was damaged,
05:33including the LED panel attached to it.
05:35The canopy on the back of the ship was also damaged
05:38and will not be used anymore.
05:40But the China Coast Guard is not yet done opening their water cannon.
05:49The China Coast Guard did not stop until our ship left Bajau de Macinloc.
05:54And even though we were already far from Bahura,
05:56the ships of China continued to follow.
05:58Every time our ship stopped,
06:00they opened their water cannon,
06:02as if they were warning us to leave.
06:04Because of the water cannon of the China Coast Guard,
06:07the resupply mission of the BRP Bagacay did not continue
06:10to the Filipinos in Bajau de Macinloc.
06:12But the ships of the Philippines will surely return
06:15to help the Filipinos who are still striving to live
06:18and fish in the place where they have been fighting for decades.
06:24According to the PCG,
06:25the China Coast Guard installed a 380-meter floating barrier
06:30to block the entrance of Panatag Show.
06:33When the ships of the Philippines reached Panatag Show,
06:35they confirmed the strong water pressure
06:38that China is using to attack.
06:54According to the China Coast Guard,
06:56they evacuated the ships of the Philippines
06:58who are entering Bajau de Macinloc
07:01that they call Huangyan Island.
07:04They did it professionally and in accordance with the law.
07:08And the Philippines removed their ships.
07:12America promised to support the Philippines
07:15as its ally in upholding freedom of navigation
07:19and international law.
07:21Before this, since last week,
07:24a Chinese flag research vessel
07:27passed through the sea of the Bicol region.
07:30Three Chinese survey and research vessels
07:33were seen in Ayungin Shoal yesterday.
07:35Knowing that they are not deterred,
07:38they are not scared by what is happening in the West Philippine Sea.
07:42This is still in the middle of the continuation of exercises.
07:46From the vehicle BRP Damo del Sur,
07:49the marines and navy switched
07:51to two Landing Craft Utility or LCU.
07:55When the mainlanders saw it,
07:57the LCU of the ship was removed.
07:59These members of the Philippine Marines and Philippine Navy
08:03ride the Landing Craft Utility
08:04as part of the amphibious landing force.
08:06They will secure the designated area
08:09so that when everything is ready,
08:11the other troops can attack there.
08:15LAND THE LANDING FORCE! LAND THE LANDING FORCE!
08:19When approaching a beach in Kampong Ulay in the town of Rizal,
08:23the Landing Craft was opened.
08:26And because it was low tide and the Landing Craft was not attached,
08:29the soldiers jumped into the sea to reach Kampong.
08:39Aside from that,
08:40the importance of the Navy's ship
08:44to defend the territory of the Philippines was seen.
08:47This will give us an edge,
08:49especially right now that we are in a pelagic country.
08:52If we are to maneuver from the sea,
08:54we really need this ship
08:56so that we can send our forces to the beach landing site.
09:00For GMA Integrated News, Ian Cruz.
09:03Rafi Timang.
09:04Marisol Abduraman.
09:06We are your witnesses.
09:10This is not the first time that China's water cannons
09:13hit Philippine sea vehicles.
09:16From 2019 until yesterday,
09:18eight incidents in the West Philippine Sea were recorded
09:20by GMA Integrated News Research.
09:23Two of these happened near Bajo de Masinloc or Panatagshol.
09:27In December of last year,
09:30while the three ships of BIFAR were doing a resupply mission
09:33for the fishermen of Panatagshol,
09:36they were blocked and bombed by the China Coast Guard,
09:40including several fishermen.
09:43The next day,
09:45three ships did a resupply mission in Ayunginshol
09:48and were bombed by the Chinese.
09:52Five more incidents were recorded in Ayunginshol.
09:55In March,
09:56the water was pumped in and the resupply ship,
09:59Unayza May 4, was destroyed.
10:01Three Navy personnel were injured.
10:04On the other hand,
10:05the RORE mission in BRP Sierra Madre was successful,
10:09which was launched in Ayunginshol in May 1999.
10:13China has repeatedly said that
10:15the Philippines' missions to the WPS have not yet been completed.
10:20However, the government has repeatedly condemned
10:22the Chinese invasion of the Philippines' Exclusive Economic Zone.
10:29A fire broke out in a warehouse in Gigintung, Bulacan.
10:33The fire spread and the two factories were damaged.
10:36Saksi Live with EJ Gomez.
10:39EJ?
10:43Tia,
10:44Firefighters bombed the factories here in Gigintung, Bulacan.
10:56At around 5 p.m.,
10:57residents of Chaong village noticed the sudden fire
11:01outside a warehouse here in Gigintung.
11:04We were really scared.
11:07Especially the tenants.
11:09It was the first time for us.
11:11We were all scared.
11:14They helped extinguish the fire
11:16using the fire extinguisher of the nearby warehouses and some houses.
11:19But due to the strength of the wind and limited resources,
11:22the fire spread and two more warehouses were damaged.
11:27More than four hours of intense fire in these factories.
11:31Firefighters continued to extinguish the fire.
11:34Three warehouses were damaged.
11:36One was made by a diaper
11:38and two more were made by plastic products.
11:41The reason why the fire spread faster.
11:45Firefighters are helping left and right here now.
11:48Especially those holding the hose
11:50that needs to release high pressure
11:53to continue to extinguish the fire.
11:56According to the firefighters,
11:58no one was injured.
12:00But the road was blocked
12:02to enter the warehouse.
12:04The water container could not enter.
12:11Until this time,
12:13the third alarm was the fire here in Barangay Tsia Ong.
12:16Live from Giginto, Bulacan,
12:18for GMA Integrated News,
12:20EJ Gomez, your news.
12:24The local government of Muntinlupa announced
12:27the suspension of face-to-face classes in the city
12:29from Wednesday to Friday
12:31due to the hot weather.
12:33The Department of Education also gave
12:36President Bombo Marcos a more aggressive recommendation
12:39to return to the old school year.
12:41Witness, Dano Tinkungco.
12:45We can still see here that
12:47in both stations,
12:49in Metro Manila, we can still see that
12:51during the month of May,
12:53their heat index values are higher.
12:55That's what the hope of the Senate's hearing
12:58on whether to return to school in June.
13:01If they will do that,
13:03the heat will really be avoided
13:05every April and May.
13:07However, that will be due to the rain.
13:09Even if it's only for a few days,
13:11it will be very strong.
13:13The Department of Health said
13:15that the rain will be avoided.
13:17But the heat is felt everywhere.
13:19But it seems like there's no need
13:21to make a decision
13:23because yesterday, the DepEd said
13:25that they have already submitted
13:27to the President a more aggressive return
13:29to the old school year
13:31because he has the power to decide that.
13:33In the new plan,
13:35students can return to school.
13:37This can be done by Saturday classes.
13:39This is a result of a survey
13:41where the answers were not really heated.
13:45The position taken by the Department of Education
13:47on the gradual reversion
13:49to the April-May school break
13:51was based on the following.
13:53Number one, it is the preference of majority
13:55of the general public
13:57as reflected in the surveys conducted on the matter.
13:59And second,
14:01the significant economic impact
14:03that it creates as a tourism drive
14:05for local destinations in the country.
14:07Therefore, we would like to take this opportunity
14:09to clarify that the decision
14:11of gradual revert to April-May school break
14:13was not brought about
14:15by climate or weather considerations.
14:17While that is not yet there,
14:19school administrators have the power
14:21to suspend classes or shift to alternative delivery.
14:23That's why they asked for a more detailed
14:25heat index from Pagasa.
14:27May I suggest to Pagasa
14:29to come up with
14:31a location-specific,
14:33if possible, with technology
14:35so that our principals
14:37and LGUs will be guided
14:39on what actions they will take.
14:41In order for us to
14:43estimate the values
14:45of temperature for a particular location
14:47in the absence of
14:49a sensor, for instance.
14:51For GMA Integrated News,
14:53here is your Sak-C.
14:55A resident was affected
14:57by an ice storm in Baguio City yesterday.
14:59It lasted for almost 10 minutes
15:01following the pouring of rain.
15:03No one was hurt
15:05and Pagasa explained that
15:07a hailstorm occurs when the weather is hot
15:09and there is a thunderstorm.
15:11In Davao City,
15:13it rained in several places
15:15following the rain from last night
15:17until this morning.
15:19According to Pagasa, this is the end
15:21of the Intertropical Convergence Zone
15:23that will rain in Davao Region until tomorrow.
15:25Breaking news!
15:27In the first day of May,
15:29rollback of P15 per kilo of LPG
15:31will be implemented.
15:33It is equivalent to
15:35P13 per tank.
15:37No other LPG company
15:39has yet to be announced.
15:41Manila RTC Branch 31
15:43provided free housing
15:45to the former prisoners

20:33They are also thinking about the safety of the passengers because the massage may increase.
20:41We are not just operators and drivers, we are all Filipinos.
20:46It is a part of the hardship. We have not yet lost hope.
20:53According to LTFRB, there is no longer any extension and they will be considered as a color room from tomorrow.
20:59But the start of the catch is not yet tomorrow.
21:02We will send them a notice and we will give them five days to answer.
21:07Whatever is their answer, if there is no merit, then we will cancel their franchise.
21:13Come second week, that will be the start of the catch.
21:18Because if you are apprehended, it is a one-year suspension for the driver and a penalty of P50,000 for the color room jeepney.
21:28Aside from that, the vehicle will be impounded.
21:31For the jeepneys that are not yet consolidated.
21:34What they lost is their franchise from LTFRB.
21:38But their registration in LTO is still in existence.
21:43They can convert this into private vehicles that they can use.
21:52On the last day of consolidation for the jeepney modernization,
21:56President Bongbong Marcos ordered the Energy Department and other agencies to expedite the progress to increase the number of electric vehicles.
22:06According to the DOE of 2023, there are only 7,000 registered e-vehicles in the country.
22:14Less than 1% of the more than 14 million registered vehicles in the country.
22:20The main reason for this is the higher price of e-vehicles, which is more expensive than 20% to 50%.
22:28But this will be compensated for by the smaller expenses in gasoline daily.
22:33According to the DOE, the gasoline vehicle costs 5 pesos per kilometer.
22:39In diesel, 11 pesos per kilometer.
22:42But in e-vehicle, not even 2 pesos per kilometer.
22:47Electric vehicles have 65% lower operating costs than the traditional conventional vehicles.
22:59We estimate that we will have 2.4 million savings over a 15-year period using electric vehicles for public transportation.
23:11The government is planning to replace e-vehicles with 10% of vehicles.
23:18To accommodate more e-vehicles, the government laid down several steps.
23:24From suspending import tariffs, excise tax exemption, priority in processing LTO and LTFRB, and...
23:33We have electric vehicles exempted from the Vehicle Volume Reduction Scheme or the number coding scheme.
23:40So if we are caught by the MMDA, number coding, and if we see an electric vehicle, there will be no offence.
23:49Exempted.
23:50For GMA Integrated News, Oscar Wilde is your witness.
24:01Yasmin Curdy has a new bundle of joy.
24:04She is Baby Raya Laila.
24:06Yasmin's son and Ms. Tana is Rey Saldivilla.
24:09The story of Yasmin is that she gave birth to Raya via cesarean or C-section.
24:14The actress' first plan is a normal delivery but her CS scar is still thin.
24:20It is not a good indication and it will be a high risk for her pregnancy.
24:25Doctors also discovered that the umbilical cord of the uterus is swollen.
24:29It's a good thing that Yasmin already had her CS done.
24:39Mountain Volcano Resort in Pagasinan that has a zipline adventure.
24:43And the flowers in Cebu that look like cherry blossoms in Japan.
