Transcript

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

00:09 Good evening, Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.

00:16 Tension has risen between the police and those who protested near the embassy of America.

00:24 Six people were arrested because of various reasons.

00:28 Here are the protesters who were arrested.

00:31 This rally is part of the various protests that were held today.

00:37 And it was held in five different places.

00:39 In Callao Avenue in Manila, it seems that the time of violence between the protesters and the police is hot.

00:57 Even though they were in the front line, the protesters were still blocking the road in Rojas Boulevard before the target of the US Embassy arrived.

01:04 They also opposed the US invasion of the country, like the protests that were held.

01:22 This is a war that is causing chaos, that is threatening to destroy our wealth,

01:30 for our own benefit, in the field of economy, politics, culture and military.

01:38 Six people were arrested for disobedience to authority, resisting arrest, alarm and scandal, and vandalism.

01:44 The police truck was also sprayed with paint.

01:48 The protesters also condemned the group that was going to leave the country,

01:52 and they were ready to file a complaint against the police.

01:54 They are forcing us to go to our place, to the US Embassy,

01:59 where it is not included in the Freedom Park of Manila.

02:02 We are always in maximum tolerance.

02:04 We need to restrain the people who are really protesting, so that they will not escalate.

02:12 Even though Loyola and Recto Avenue was blocked, the members of the Bukurang Manggagawa ng Pilipinas or BMP were able to get through the police.

02:20 They will go to Mendrola near Malacanang.

02:23 The workers are shouting today the 150 pesos increase in salary across the board,

02:28 the increase in minimum wage, and the end of contractualization.

02:33 They also refused the invitation of the President to help them.

02:38 We will not give up. If they want to increase the salary, they can do it.

02:42 What is stopping them? If they want to lower the price, they can do it.

02:46 Almost all of our workers in the country are contractual.

02:49 The workers are not happy yet, because until now,

02:53 the government is not giving the workers the request to increase their salary.

02:58 The provincial rates are already broken because this is too much favor to the capitalists.

03:05 The Filipino workers first!

03:08 The Filipino workers first!

03:11 The Manibela Transport Group also protested the deadline of the consolidation of the franchise in the PUV Modernization Program.

03:19 We should fight!

03:21 Our mainstay is the Filipino workers, the Filipino product, not from China. So let's fight!

03:30 The chairman of Manibela, Mar Valbuena, was the first to protest.

03:35 He is facing a warrant of arrest and two cases of cyber libel filed by Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista.

03:41 We are still getting the report of Valbuena about this.

03:44 For GMA Integrated News, I'm Nima Rafran, Katutok, 24 Hours.

03:49 President Bongbong Marcos is now passing the minimum wage rate.

03:56 The President's advice is to limit the effect of inflation on the salary of the workers.

04:01 Katutok, Ivan Mayrina.

04:03 Today, President Bongbong Marcos has an order to the Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Boards.

04:12 To initiate a timely review of the minimum wage rates in their respective regions.

04:20 With due consideration to the impact of inflation amongst others within 60 days prior to the anniversary of their latest wage order.

04:32 The minimum wage of BARM is only up to P361, which is the lowest in the country.

04:38 The next highest increase is P20 in February.

04:41 The highest in Metro Manila is P610.

04:45 The next highest increase is P40 in June 2023.

04:49 The minimum wage can only increase once in a year.

04:52 But in Metro Manila, the President is saying that it's already within 60 days.

04:55 To review if there should be a new minimum wage increase.

04:58 The President also ordered the National Wages and Productivity Commission

05:02 to review the regulations to ensure regular and fair wage review.

05:06 There is also a separate 150 pesos legislated wage hike that has been approved by the Senate.

05:11 But it's still in the chamber.

05:13 Legislated money from the Regional Wage Board.

05:16 The additional wage hike was approved by the National Anti-Poverty Commission.

05:19 The additional wage hike is important because as he said earlier during his speech,

05:26 the increase of some primary prices of goods is also serious.

05:32 In fact, it's a sign of the increase of electricity prices, especially in the increasing heat of the time.

05:40 That's why I think President Bongbong Marcos Pino should be called.

05:46 We tried to get the Panic! Employers Confirmation of the Filipinos, ECO,

05:50 but they are not answering our calls.

05:52 But they said that it can result in the removal of jobs,

05:56 increasing the price of goods,

05:58 or closing if the wage hike is not allowed, especially for small businesses.

06:04 90% of our existing enterprises are in the category of micro, small and medium enterprises.

06:11 So in our view of the needs of the workers,

06:15 we balance it with the capacity or ability of the employers.

06:19 It's also important that there are a lot of jobs,

06:21 that's why I think the President of the Congress should pass laws to increase that.

06:25 There are also a lot of people who are interested in jobs and investments that are entering the country.

06:30 The President of the DOLE also emphasized the under-employment through skills training

06:34 so that the Filipino's ability to work here or abroad will increase.

06:38 For the OFWs, the President also has orders from the Department of Migrant Workers.

06:43 Let us continue to mobilize the 2.8 billion peso action fund

06:48 and provide protection for distressed OFWs to provide forms of assistance to OFWs

06:54 requiring welfare, repatriation and reintegration services.

07:00 For GMA Integrated News, Ivan Mejrina for 24 Hours.

07:04 Even though the waters of China flooded some of these ships yesterday,

07:10 the Philippine Coast Guard continued its mission to supply the fishermen

07:17 in Bajo de Masinloc or Panatagshow.

07:19 Let's analyze the situation.

07:22 In a live broadcast, Rafi Itima.

07:24 Rafi?

07:27 We are currently on our way back to Manila, especially this Coast Guard ship.

07:31 Even though the resupply mission to Bajo de Masinloc was not completed,

07:36 the mission of BFAR and PCG was still successful

07:40 because they were able to supply the fishermen in Bajo de Masinloc and West Philippine Sea.

07:48 This was despite the harsh actions of the China Coast Guard

07:53 against PCG and BFAR.

07:56 We are still here, we are still here.

08:00 We are hit.

08:02 We are hit.

08:07 China's ships have not watered for a long time against BFAR and PCG's ships.

08:12 [water splashing]

08:14 Woohoo!

08:37 The water cannons of the China Coast Guard are still continuing to hit the Philippine Coast Guard ship.

08:42 The water cannons are so powerful, you can really feel the roots inside the pilot house.

08:50 [water splashing]

08:53 Many damaged ships were hit, including the DATU Bagacay and BRP DATU Bangkaw.

08:58 The railings, canopy, and other things were damaged.

09:01 This is one of the rare occasions when the Philippine Coast Guard

09:06 is able to hit the Philippine Coast Guard ships here in Bajo de Masinloc.

09:09 As far as I know, this is the first time that a Philippine Coast Guard ship

09:15 has hit the Philippine Coast Guard ships here in Bajo de Masinloc.

09:19 You can see on this map how our ships were able to avoid the China's attacks

09:24 inside the Exclusive Economic Zone of the Philippines.

09:28 The speed of the two ships was slow.

09:31 They were estimated to hit the damaged ships.

09:34 The ships of China, the ships of the Coast Guard, and their Navy are still hit.

09:39 A P-3 Orion reconnaissance plane of the United States is still being circled.

09:44 But 80 kilometers away from Panatakshol, the mission continued.

09:49 They distributed free crude oil and other supplies.

09:52 The Philippine fishermen came one by one for aid.

09:55 And until the next day, they were slowly increasing.

10:00 The fishermen were already in the next day. Some of them came from Infanta, Pangasinan.

10:05 Mang Pedro was informed that the China Coast Guard's water was being bombed

10:09 in Bifar and PCG.

10:11 If you're angry, there's nothing we can do.

10:14 Silaman was the one who experienced the harassment.

10:17 Although this is rare, it's still hard for the fishermen in Panatak,

10:21 also known as Scarborough Shoal.

10:23 It's still limited.

10:26 How do you manage to get small goods inside?

10:30 Just outside.

10:32 Free crude oil is a big deal, especially this,

10:35 the biggest part of their expenses every time they go abroad.

10:38 That's why they don't make much money when they fish.

10:41 We can make around a week's salary.

10:44 You can extend because of the UL?

10:47 Yes.

10:49 It is said that the Panatakshol has a richer fish market.

10:53 But since 2012, it's been guarded by China.

10:57 People like Mang Pedro are just wandering around the bayous

11:01 that are spread out in the villages of Pangasinan and Zambales

11:04 when the fishing nets outside Scarborough are weak.

11:06 According to the Philippine Coast Guard,

11:08 they will not stop helping the Filipinos wherever they are.

11:18 I will just show you one of the damages

11:21 to my ship, the BRP Bagacay.

11:24 This is the railing of the ship.

11:26 It's very strong.

11:28 But there's a panel LED here.

11:30 That's the reason why the railing was damaged

11:33 when the water cannon of the Chinese Coast Guard was shot.

11:39 We experienced two direction melees of the water cannon

11:43 here on the port side and starboard side.

11:47 Those were two water cannons.

11:50 This is one of the damaged ones.

11:52 And in front of me, the canopy of the ship was also damaged.

11:56 So, these damages can be fixed.

11:59 But the Philippine Coast Guard and BFAR will continue their missions

12:03 to help our fishermen here in the West Philippine Sea.

12:06 Mel?

12:08 Thank you very much, Rafi Tima.

12:10 Compared to the previous water bombs,

12:15 the Chinese Coast Guard's water cannon was more powerful and deadly.

12:20 But despite that, the Philippines will not give up.

12:24 And the June veneration is on.

12:26 We are here again.

12:28 The Chinese Coast Guard's ships were only able to hit the Philippine ships yesterday.

12:36 We will try to hit the ships that are around us.

12:41 That's our ship.

12:42 We will see who is the real enemy and who is the enemy

12:49 of the patenter and the chase that happened inside the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines.

12:54 It just goes to show that Goliath is becoming more Goliath.

12:57 They don't hesitate to use brute force to violate international law.

13:03 On one side of the dam, the Chinese Coast Guard and the Philippine Coast Guard were fighting.

13:09 Hit it! Hit it!

13:10 Woo! On the pole!

13:12 Hit it! Hit it!

13:15 But it seems that David is smaller compared to the giant China.

13:20 The Philippines will not give up fighting against him according to the Coast Guard.

13:25 We are not going to be deterred. We are not going to yield.

13:28 Despite of all this harassment and provocative action, we will not be stopped by China.

13:34 Although the Chinese Coast Guard's water cannon is not new,

13:38 it is still used by the Philippine Coast Guard.

13:39 Sir, sir, sir!

13:41 There's a fish!

13:43 There's a fish!

13:45 On the pole! On the pole!

13:49 The afternoon rain is getting heavier because of the deathly water pressure.

13:54 If we're going to look at how it bended the railing of the Philippine Coast Guard vessel

14:02 because of the water cannon, obviously that would be very fatal.

14:07 Hit it!

14:08 Woo!

14:13 Hit it!

14:15 Some communication equipment was damaged by the rain.

14:18 The railings of the Philippine Coast Guard vessels are not yet used.

14:21 But even though the harassment of China is so violent,

14:25 the vision and responsibility of the TCG will remain firm,

14:29 just like the Philippine flag, which was almost avoided but was not destroyed by the Chinese water cannon.

14:36 For GMI Integrated News, June Veneration, 24 hours.

14:40 Holiday but heavy traffic was stopped by motorists passing through Edsa Camuning.

14:48 The flyover for the compensation is already being closed.

14:53 And Joseph Moro was stopped.

14:55 Even though it's a holiday, traffic in Edsa Southbound is going to Edsa Camuning flyover

15:05 because since May 1, the southbound lane of Edsa Camuning flyover is already closed.

15:10 Retrofitting of some parts of the flyover that are already broken will start.

15:17 The flyover was built in 1992, according to DPWH.

15:21 This is one of the 14 bridges in Metro Manila that could be dangerous if the big one or the strongest one collides.

15:29 We will replace the deck or the top of the bridge.

15:35 We will replace some sections or spans because it has already been hit by cracks.

15:42 So it needs to be repaired.

15:45 It will be closed for five months or until October 25.

15:48 The only ones who can pass through the left lane are the buses of Edsa Bus Carousel.

15:53 The MMDA and DPWH have already placed concrete barriers.

15:58 So the six lanes of Edsa will be three only.

16:00 There are some MMDA enforcers who are on the right side of the alternative routes.

16:06 But there are still many who are going straight to the direction of Edsa Camuning flyover.

16:10 I don't know, sir. Maybe the flyover is already closed.

16:14 We will go to Mipasig.

16:16 It's very long, sir. Traffic. It's a mess.

16:20 It's a mess. It's already closed.

16:22 I don't know.

16:26 You can still pass under Camuning flyover but it will be built up.

16:29 MMDA is not advising that.

16:31 Now, those who came from the north, Edsa, you should go to Boromeo and the streets that are on the right along Edsa.

16:42 It's a holiday now. MMDA is expecting fewer people.

16:45 But this is the buildup of traffic now.

16:48 In the south, under flyover, there are almost no cars moving.

16:54 It's a mess. I don't know if there's anything being done.

16:57 To avoid traffic, if you are coming from the north, from the part of Bulacan or Coloocan,

17:02 and you are going to the south part, Pamacati,

17:04 you can go to Panay Avenue or Mother Ignacia, which is very spacious and you can pass before the flyover.

17:12 To go to 11th Jamboree, you can go to Edsa Camuning.

17:16 You can also go to Eugenio Lopez Jr. Drive or Scout Boromeo,

17:21 which was made one-way and some parts cannot go out to Edsa.

17:25 DPWH is expecting the project to be completed before it rains so it won't be delayed.

17:31 Rain will be included. Rain is one of the things that can affect us.

17:36 But we will see what we can do to make the time go faster.

17:45 Edsa Camuning flyover will remain open on the northbound lane.

17:50 For the time being, we have integrated news. Joseph Morong has been stuck for 24 hours.

17:53 When will the workers and the drivers of the jeepneys that did not reach the consolidation yesterday be able to work?

18:02 Some are complaining that they were only allowed to pass through their route even though they were allowed to consolidate early.

18:08 Oscar Roida is stuck.

18:14 Will the 48-year-old jeepney driver, Jun, be nervous while passing?

18:20 It is difficult for him to consolidate the jeepney he is driving before the deadline yesterday,

18:26 especially if he is being chased by an enforcer.

18:30 We don't know what to do.

18:32 They can find a way for us to find the paper, the sticker that says "consolidated unit".

18:43 We are not there.

18:44 He is really nervous.

18:46 He said he has no choice because his family will be hungry.

18:50 If we don't travel, what will happen to my family? I have two students.

18:55 What about the food, expenses, house rent, electricity, water?

19:01 If we don't travel, we will be hungry.

19:04 Some are also concerned about not being able to consolidate, how will they be able to pay their daily expenses?

19:12 I bought a new unit.

19:14 I haven't been able to pay it yet.

19:16 I bought it and I even owe it to my wife's in-laws.

19:22 I said we should save money.

19:24 We don't have a trip. It's difficult to travel.

19:28 Sometimes, we only travel at night.

19:30 The 100 jeepneys were consolidated early by the members of the Atinto Transport Cooperative.

19:36 But 20 units were not approved.

19:40 So they decided to sell it.

19:42 They said that our route is full.

19:45 While in other routes, even if there are three cooperatives, they are accepting it.

19:49 It's a big loss.

19:51 There's no more money to sell.

19:53 We bought it, it's symbolic, it's even in francs, it's more than half a million.

19:58 We asked the Transportation Department about this.

20:01 But they said it depends on the local government.

20:05 We are saying that the route rationalization, the LGU, will assign a route.

20:11 A cooperative will assign a route.

20:16 So it depends.

20:19 Because the DLTFRB will say that this route is the LGU.

20:26 They know that there are too many of you in this route.

20:30 So it's reduced.

20:33 The touring of the jeepneys that were not consolidated,

20:35 they are not being caught first.

20:37 But their operator will issue a notice to explain.

20:42 For GMA Integrated News, Oscar Oida, "Nakatutok 24 Horas".

20:48 We are now in Antipolo and there we will be happy with the joyful and colorful celebration of the Maytime Festival.

20:56 "Nakatutok" there live by Mav Gonzalez.

20:59 Mav.

21:02 Vicky, the Antipolo Maytime Festival officially started.

21:05 There are a lot of people here in celebration of the culture and products of Antipolo.

21:11 From Sumulong Park to Inari Center,

21:19 the streets are full of colorful costumes and loud music of the street dance competition.

21:24 This is the official start of the Antipolo Maytime Festival 2024.

21:29 Maytime Festival is the formal opening of the pilgrimage season.

21:33 We are the first in Southeast Asia, an international shrine,

21:37 and we are the sixth in the world sharing our culture, our traditions.

21:43 We celebrate it amongst ourselves here in Antipolo by widespread street dancing competition

21:52 where all the barangays and schools are participating.

21:58 It started in Sumaca Festival or celebration of the famous products of Antipolo,

22:03 which are suman, mango and cassoy.

22:05 But now, the culture and talents of the Antipolo are also included in the celebration.

22:10 It started with the good dancing and the costumes of the participants are beautiful today.

22:15 Some streets are closed for street dance and parade.

22:18 The people here are waiting even though the weather is very hot to watch the celebration.

22:25 After the street dancing, there is a final salvo of 10 students who are fighting.

22:30 It is really rare because the prize is worth 100,000 pesos.

22:34 The 10 festival queens are also present.

22:37 It just started with the whole month of celebration in Antipolo.

22:40 We will have a Antipolo bodybuilding competition,

22:47 we have a ginuman festival, hair and makeup competition,

22:53 we have fun rides of cyclists.

22:58 This is a jam-packed month for us.

23:02 Vicky, you can still catch up here in the Inara Center because the program is still long.

23:10 The presentation of the costumes of the Queen of Antipolo candidates is ongoing.

23:13 And later, the final showdown of our street dancers. Vicky?

23:17 Thank you very much, Ma'am Gonzales.

23:21 In the middle of the heat, the first rain of May has already poured in some places.

23:27 But before that, there are many discards to reduce the heat.

23:31 Jonathan Andal is on the scene.

23:33 Oops, that's not rain.

23:39 That's the water tanker of Manila City Hall that was blown up by the streets of Spain, Quiapo and Binondo.

23:48 To reduce the heat, some of his vehicles are slowing down to get wet.

23:52 It's fresh, it's not too hot.

23:55 If it's too hot, it's like twice as tiring.

23:59 But some motorists were literally wet.

24:03 It's okay, so that it won't be hot anymore.

24:07 But the wet road, less than an hour, was already dry.

24:14 It's hard because it's easy when the heat is gone.

24:18 It's like it's getting cold. I hope they do that every day when it's hot.

24:22 It's beneficial because it's too hot now.

24:25 This was done for the first time by the local government because according to their forecast,

24:29 the heat index will reach 45 degrees Celsius today.

24:33 As long as our index rises, we will do this every day.

24:38 It's not solid, it's in the shower, it's just like a misting effect.

24:43 But the task force El Nino still says that water is still being used.

24:46 We appreciate the efforts of the LGUs, but the next four weeks are critical in terms of water conservation.

24:54 Even though the water supply in Angat Dam and Metro Manila is still sufficient,

25:00 we still need to save until the effect of El Nino's misting is not gone.

25:08 If the water used for cleaning or for washing is used,

25:13 there will be no problem if it is used for spraying on the roads.

25:17 We don't have recycled water here.

25:21 There is still some in Malayo, according to the MMDA, in Marikina.

25:25 We are doing prevention because our heat stroke patients and motorists are getting less.

25:35 Some are bathing on the streets of Del Pan Manila using the seemingly unlimited water from the well under the drainage.

25:42 That's why Mylene bathes here from morning to night because they don't have a bathroom.

25:47 How many times do you bathe?

25:49 Eight times.

25:51 Eight times in one day? Why so many?

25:53 It's so hot.

25:55 Animoy has a resort in Binondo because of the inflatable pool here.

25:59 Beat the heat, they say. Now, there's a cruel summer.

26:03 It's so hot, that's why I saved money to buy this.

26:07 It's so hot that we can't stay inside.

26:10 Inside the house?

26:12 Yes, because even if you have an electric fan, you can't handle it.

26:15 In Tondo,

26:17 the non-inflatable pool is content with a pool and a refrigerator that has no water.

26:26 It's bad, it's fresh. It's angry if it's not able to take a bath.

26:30 Our swimming was postponed because I don't have a budget.

26:33 How much?

26:35 It's only a thousand pesos and water.

26:37 In Valenzuela, mobile showers are deployed for free and fresh baths.

26:41 For GMA Integrated News, Jonathan Andal, Kaputok, 24 hours.

26:46 Meanwhile, aerial resupply or the distribution of supplies by aircrafts

26:52 is what was discussed earlier in Balikatan,

26:55 which is an alternative if the resupply mission in the sea is prohibited.

26:59 It was brought to you live by Ian Cruz.

27:01 Ian.

27:03 Yes, Vicky, the AFP's aerial resupply mission in Balikatan exercise was successful.

27:11 We hope that this will help, especially since the distribution in the West Philippine Sea is becoming complicated

27:17 because of the continuous aggressiveness of Chinese ships there.

27:26 The NC212i Light-Lift Aircraft of the Philippine Air Force was first to go around

27:31 and supplies of parachutes to Patag Island were dropped

27:35 which was carried by the Calayan Island Group in the West Philippine Sea.

27:39 This aerial resupply was successful by the AFP

27:42 which is one of the alternatives they see in the difficult rotation and resupply mission in the West Philippine Sea

27:49 because of the continuous aggression of China that is anchored in almost the entire South China Sea.

27:54 This was done in tandem with the group sail activity of the Philippines, America and France

27:58 which is part of the multilateral maritime exercise of Balikatan.

28:02 The MC130 Aircraft of the US Air Force Special Operation Command

28:06 passed in front of Long Beach, San Vicente.

28:10 The Filipinos parachuted one by one to Long Beach.

28:20 The US has also seen new uses in the Northern Palawan

28:24 like the HIMARS or High Mobile Artillery Rocket System

28:28 which is effective in using it on a distant target.

28:31 The HIMARS and Rizal are expected to conduct a live-fire exercise in the Southern Palawan

28:36 which if viewed from the map is almost equivalent to Ayungin Shoal in the West Philippine Sea.

28:42 Earlier, US Marines and Philippine Navy 3rd Naval Combat Engineering Battalion

28:49 conducted a construction of a health center in Sitio Calupisa of Barangay Puntabaha in Rizal

28:54 which is part of the Engineering Civic Action Projects or NCAP under Balikatan.

29:00 The US Marines have brought a lot of tools for the construction of a health facility in a remote area here in Rizal, Palawan.

29:08 But what they are most looking for is the skills of the Filipino soldiers

29:13 who are using tools that can be discarded by construction sites.

29:19 One of the major challenges of the US in construction is the high temperature in the country.

29:39 The health center will be able to provide the residents of Sitio Calupisa with the tools

29:44 that they don't need to go down to the city to get medical treatment.

29:47 The benefit of this is that it will be used by 200 households and 90% of the residents will be IPs.

29:53 It's really hard because we can't use a vehicle. We just have to walk down.

29:57 Balikatan is also an opportunity for the Filipino-American soldiers to bring back their Filipino heritage

30:04 like Second Lieutenant James Estilore, who was raised in La Union and Cebu.

30:09 I'm very fortunate. I'm very grateful that serving in the United States Marine Corps has brought me back here.

30:16 Service is part of the reason why my family got here in the first place.

30:21 Vicky, tomorrow is the day of the live fire exercise in Rizal, Palawan.

30:33 It's one of the main events that will be held by the Modern Artillery of the United States.

30:36 Back to you, Vicky.

30:38 Thank you very much, Ian Cruz.

32:36 [Music]

32:43 Are you still eager to walk in the middle of summer?

32:48 We will answer your questions starting today in May because of the many celebrities who will bring us summer in the province.

32:56 Let's start with the Sparkle Star and the new owner of Brilliant Water, Kelvin Miranda.

33:04 He is accompanied by the historic Pangasinan, Claire Lacanilau of GMA Regional TV 1 North Central Luzon.

33:12 [Music]

33:19 Welcome to Panagasinan.

33:22 [Music]

33:32 The name of the province of Pangasinan is derived from the production of salt and world-class

33:39 Aside from the beauty, we will also learn a lot here in Linggayan, Pangasinan, that is ticked in history.

33:46 The Capitol Building is a century-old structure constructed in 1917.

33:51 It was one of the bombs during World War II but after undergoing renovation, it remains beautiful and sturdy.

33:59 It is a symbol of the resiliency of the Pangasinense.

34:02 Designed by American architect Daniel Burnham, it is considered one of the eight architectural treasures of the Philippines.

34:10 [Music]

34:15 From one capital to another, let's go to Casa Real.

34:21 This is the first ever capital building in Pangasinan, which is now transformed into a world-class museum. Let's go!

34:31 [Music]

34:45 This is a very special day because we will be joined by Jimmy Sparkle Artist, Kelvin Miranda.

34:52 Welcome to Banaan Museum!

34:54 Thank you so much for inviting me here.

34:56 Let's go!

34:57 Are you ready?

34:58 Let's go!

34:59 Let's start!

35:00 Welcome to our museum, the Banaan Museum.

35:03 Banaan is a word in Pangasinan.

35:06 It means "tagpuan" or "meeting place".

35:12 [Music]

35:15 I'm very curious.

35:17 What is this world?

35:19 This is a temple of the Bulinao Skull.

35:23 What kind of skull is that?

35:25 It's a replica.

35:27 These skulls were carved in Balingasay area in Bulinao.

35:34 I had an archaeological dig in the 1960s. Along with the Bulinao Skull, they also carved other skulls, totalling to 67 skulls all in all.

35:43 Honestly, I was very emotional.

35:46 I saw a lot of things that I didn't know about here in Pangasinan.

35:50 Some of them are very impressive because the preservation is amazing.

35:55 [Music]

36:03 So, your Pangasinan experience will not be complete until you try the local delicacies of Pangasinan.

36:10 Dinalaan with puto.

36:13 Dinuguan with puto.

36:15 Let's try the puto.

36:18 Dinalaan or dinuguan with kamias.

36:20 What can you say, Kelvin?

36:22 It's delicious, right?

36:24 Try the lingay and tamales.

36:26 It's good for the hangover.

36:28 It's good.

36:30 It's delicious.

36:32 So, how was your preparation?

36:33 It's tiring but it's also fun at the same time because it teaches me to be more disciplined.

36:40 Eating, during the time of practice.

36:45 [Laughs]

36:47 Hello, Kapuso! This is Kelvin Miranda and let's visit and have our summer fun here at Pangasinan.

36:55 Galila!

36:57 [Music]

37:01 And if you're looking for a scenic sunset view, one of the not-so-famous beaches here in Lingayen is Estanza.

37:09 Right at the heart of the province of Pangasinan, here in Lingayen, you can find Estanza Beach.

37:17 From the town of Lingayen, you can ride a tricycle to reach the beach.

37:24 [Music]

37:27 It's a perfect picnic group with family and friends.

37:30 You can also bring a tent for glamping.

37:33 [Music]

37:36 In the afternoon, be mesmerized by the golden sunset facing the majestic Lingayen Gulf.

37:42 [Music]

37:45 So, let's go to the province of Pangasinan.

37:48 Clear your mind for a 24-hour summer fun in the province.

37:53 [Music]

37:57 And more than a year before the 2025 midterm elections,

38:02 the changes in the party of President Bongbong Marcos were added.

38:07 He one-by-one discussed the parties for the coalition,

38:12 but the change of Vice President Sara Duterte was not mentioned.

38:17 And Ivan Mayrin was also involved.

38:19 [Music]

38:22 [Foreign Language]

38:23 President Marcos himself said that this meeting is the preparation of his party, the Federal of the Philippines or PFP, for the 2025 elections.

38:32 The PFP has 33 new members as of yesterday.

38:35 Aside from the increase of party members, the formation of coalitions and alliances is also happening.

38:41 I am still of course in my capacity as the head of the party.

38:49 I have been talking to all of the other different parties.

38:56 The party of the HNP's change of leadership was not mentioned.

39:00 Vice President Sara Duterte was also involved in the 2022 elections.

39:05 The alliance you are talking about for the coalition, is it included in the change of leadership?

39:10 Not for now.

39:12 Why?

39:15 We had an alliance before in 2022. That is for the 2022 elections.

39:22 So it means that we have an alliance for a common cause.

39:29 In the past few months, the relationship of the unit team with Marcos Duterte has been in turmoil.

39:36 Especially recently, First Lady Liza Marcos expressed her displeasure to the Vice President.

39:42 She assured the President that their relationship is in turmoil.

39:45 In 2025, the PFP will continue to send a message of unity, so the parties should arrange the candidates in their respective regions

39:55 before the elections in October.

39:58 As long as they are part of the unity movement that we created,

40:08 I think that is what the Filipinos are still looking for.

40:12 And we are not saying that we want to dominate the entire political scenery,

40:19 but what we need to do is not to dominate anything,

40:24 but what we need to do is to be able to bring unto the fold all the different elements of society,

40:36 all the elements of the political structure, so that we are all working together.

40:43 For GMA Integrated News, Ivan Mejrina for Tutok 24 Horas.

40:48 Despite the hot weather, the profits of the businesses are not stagnant in the summer.

40:57 They are still able to sell their products, like chili and vegetables for dinengbing.

41:04 We will taste that in the Tutok of Bernadette Reyes.

41:07 Halu-halo is the favorite breakfast and cold dish of the Filipinos.

41:14 That is why when it is hot, many people look for it and many people sell it.

41:20 But to make it different from the Halu-halo we are used to, the businessmen have a different twist in their business.

41:27 The Halu-halo store in Holy Spirits, Quezon City, has chili-flavored Halu-halo, leche flan, and durian-flavored Halu-halo.

41:36 But instead of crushed ice, they use flavored ice cubes.

41:40 It is more flavorful because it is flavored and at the same time, it is creamy.

41:47 If it is cube ice, it will melt faster.

41:50 And then the taste?

41:52 It is really delicious, that is why we are always coming back.

41:55 It tastes like chili. Oh my goodness! It is spicy!

42:01 In this Halu-halo store, the line is always long, that is why their Halu-halo are always sold out.

42:08 Because of their flavors, our favorite Filipino desserts are inspired.

42:13 Cucupay, so we did a Halu-halo version.

42:17 The maja blanca, which is with tapinsapin.

42:21 Scramble, I remember that was in school.

42:24 You know, when we go out of school, that is the only dessert we know besides the fishball, the kikiam.

42:29 Actually, there is no kikiam, there is only fishball.

42:31 Mango grey ham, it's now.

42:35 Ann bought more than an hour to buy Halu-halo.

42:40 I have to wait, well I have no choice, but it's worth it.

42:45 This is Marjay, not just one, but she bought 15 Halu-halo.

42:52 This is their craving, so we ordered here.

42:55 We came from Marikina. Ube is the one I tasted, it's really delicious.

42:58 It's not your ordinary Halu-halo.

43:01 In Lawag City, Ilocos Norte, there is a version of Halu-halo that is the ingredients,

43:06 vegetables that are usually found in the popular Ilocano dish,

43:10 which is called with Malunggay, Kalabasa and Taro.

43:13 Aside from eating organic vegetables, we also get a lot of vitamins and nutrients

43:23 like iron, vitamin A and carbohydrates, in which carbohydrates is the good source of energy.

43:32 Halu-halo is a refreshing fruit in Barangay Sampaga East in Batangas City.

43:38 It has melon, watermelon, mango and others.

43:41 It's more tasty because of their flavored ice.

43:45 To make it more special, there is ice cream, leche flan, queso and cornflakes.

43:50 Our Halu-halo is not that sweet, it's just right.

43:56 The sweetness comes from there.

43:59 Duncan's advice to those who want to start a business is that it's important to be a good eater.

44:03 I realized that instead of fighting them, after they eat, I'm the one they'll go to.

44:10 For GMA Integrated News, Bernadette Reyes, Nakatuto, 24 Hours.

44:15 And that's the news for today, I'm Mel Tianco.

44:18 I'm Vicky Morales for a bigger mission.

44:21 For a wider service to the country, I'm Emil Sumangyo.

44:25 For GMA Integrated News, the news authority of the Philippines, Nakatuto, 24 Hours.
