00:00Live from the GMA Network Center, 20 years have passed.

00:13Good evening, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.

00:16The Central Bank was hit by investors' promises that it has money to give.

00:24According to the group's leader, this is an excuse to hide this from the BSP, which is not true.

00:31The Central Bank has long denied that there is such a thing,

00:35and again, it insisted that it does not directly give money to the people.

00:39Marisol Abduraman was shocked.

00:45A lane in Mabini Street in Malate, Manila, had to be closed

00:49because of the response of more than 1,000 people.

00:52They asked the Central Bank to give the equivalent amount to the investors.

00:56Even though there is no hidden money in the Central Bank,

00:59according to the group's leader.

01:02This is called the new society, which is printed with the backup of gold,

01:07amounting to more than a hundred trillion pesos, intended for all the Filipino people.

01:13The hidden wealth here in the Central Bank is polymatured.

01:18According to the Central Bank, it does not give money to the people.

01:22Instead, it gives dividends to the government

01:25for programs that will improve the lives of Filipinos.

01:29Among those who responded to the Central Bank,

01:31was 72-year-old Edelida Perez,

01:34who earned a advance of 7,500 pesos,

01:38which is a large amount from Nueva Ecija.

01:40It's hard for us to pay our daily expenses.

01:47Ms. Edelida is from Pangasinan.

01:49At the age of 70 years old, it's hard for her to walk.

01:52It's hard for me to walk because I'm gay.

01:56A bus driver borrowed 80,000 pesos from Cagayan Valley.

02:00I borrowed money from my son.

02:03A woman from Iloilo also borrowed money.

02:05Why?

02:06So that we can support our constitution.

02:10How much?

02:13The first bus cost us 1 million pesos.

02:18Some of us lost consciousness because of the heat.

02:2372-year-old Clarita Valdez

02:25is sleeping on the side of the road

02:27because of fatigue, tiredness, and fatigue.

02:30If we go here and she talks to the Central Bank,

02:36we won't go home.

02:37Life is hard.

02:39We want to have a house somehow.

02:42Is it in front of your house, sir?

02:43I already informed him that we will submit it to the proper office.

02:48Will it affect the operation?

02:50I'm sorry, madam, but I'm not in a proper position.

02:53The group spent several hours in the area,

02:55but they discussed with the police.

02:58For GMA Integrated News,

03:01Marisol Abduraman,

03:03learned 24 hours.

03:07Reunification of the UNITEAM

03:09is one of the reasons behind the addition of the Lakas-CMD

03:13and the Partido Federal ng Pilipinas

03:15to the Alliance for a New Philippines

03:18according to President Bongbong Marcos.

03:20Tina Panginipan Perez was with us.

03:25The election fever was felt

03:27because of the addition of the Lakas-CMD

03:29and the Partido Federal ng Pilipinas

03:31by President Bongbong Marcos

03:33to the Alliance for a New Philippines.

03:35According to the President,

03:36the signing of the agreement

03:38was to re-establish the UNITEAM.

03:41What we shouted during the campaign

03:43was unity.

03:45That's why we formed the so-called UNITEAM.

03:49We have to formalize it

03:50because there is a political cycle.

03:52So we will re-establish

03:54and re-formalize the UNITEAM

03:58so that when we face our futures,

04:03we will know that we are together,

04:06that we are helping each other

04:09to return to our goal

04:13to make the Philippines better,

04:15to make the lives of every Filipino better.

04:18This symbolizes that we will really be united

04:23for the 2025 election.

04:25We will try to renew the UNITEAM

04:29that we united last election

04:32and this is the time to be united again

04:35for one direction,

04:37for the development of the country.

04:40The UNITEAM during the 2022 election

04:43was led by President Marcos

04:45and Vice President Sara Duterte.

04:47The Lakas-CMD became the chairperson

04:49of Vice President Duterte

04:51even though he was led by the regional party

04:53that is in the process of changing.

04:55But it didn't take long

04:56for the Vice President to leave Lakas.

04:59The father of the Vice President

05:00is the former President Duterte

05:02who had several meetings with the President

05:04in the Partido Demokratiko Pilipino or PDP.

05:08Can they join the alliance

05:10for the new Philippines?

05:16But have there been talks?

05:18Sir, will PDP fight?

05:20Will there be an alliance?

05:21Anything is possible.

05:22Sir, is it possible to have an alliance

05:24with PDP and even with Pong?

05:27As you know,

05:28politics is a game of additions

05:30so of course anyone is welcome to join

05:32the alliance should they want.

05:33According to Speaker Martin Romualdez,

05:36the alliance will be run

05:37by the entire senatorial slate.

05:49Who will be included in the slate?

05:52The media asked

05:53the Lakas-CMD chairman,

05:54Senator Bong Revilla.

05:56Well, if we're going to talk about that,

05:58I'm sure they've already identified

06:00some of our allies.

06:02The PFP also said

06:04they will run for the common candidates.

06:0736 out of the total of 82 governors

06:10are members of the PFP.

06:12The Lakas-CMD member is already

06:14in front of the camera.

06:16For GMA Integrated News,

06:18Tina Pangaliban Perez,

06:20for Tutok, 24 hours.

06:23The Defense Department has doubts

06:25about China's decision

06:27to issue a phone recording

06:29prior to the agreement

06:31between a Philippine military official

06:33and the new model

06:34for your show.

06:35According to the Philippine Navy,

06:37the AFP did not enter

06:39any agreement regarding the West Philippine Sea.

06:42For Tutok,

06:43Chino Gaston.

06:45In the midst of a new agreement

06:47between the Philippines and China

06:49for your show

06:50in the West Philippine Sea,

06:52China is in danger.

06:54According to the Manila Bulletin,

06:56a high-ranking official

06:57of the Chinese Embassy in Manila

06:59said that they will issue

07:01a recording of a phone conversation

07:03between a Chinese diplomat

07:05and a Filipino military official

07:07known as AFP Westcom Chief.

07:09That's where the agreement

07:11was made.

07:13That's where they agreed

07:14on a new model

07:16for the management

07:17of the West Philippine Sea.

07:19However,

07:20Defense Secretary

07:21Gilberto Teodoro Jr.

07:22doubts this.

07:23I have an alleged recording

07:26in a government

07:28of the Armed Forces of the Philippines,

07:31the authenticity of which I doubt,

07:34given the propensity

07:35of the Chinese government

07:40to engage

07:43in malign information activities.

07:46In addition,

07:47Teodoro,

07:48if it's true

07:49that such a conversation happened,

07:51China has a responsibility.

07:53If this statement

07:56is true

07:57from the Chinese Embassy

07:59that they recorded

08:01anyone in the Philippines,

08:04they admit

08:06that they violated

08:08the law of the Republic of the Philippines,

08:11particularly the Anti-Wiretapping Law.

08:14I should know

08:15who is responsible for this

08:17and remove them

08:19from the Republic of the Philippines.

08:21The Chinese Embassy

08:22has yet to make a statement

08:23about the statement of Teodoro.

08:24The Philippine Navy also denied

08:26that AFP entered into any agreement

08:29with China

08:30regarding the West Philippine Sea.

08:31That is a dead story.

08:33We will not dignify

08:34reports like that.

08:35Again,

08:36it's a zombie story.

08:37Let's bring it back

08:38to where it rightfully belongs,

08:40to the grave.

08:41Anybody could say anything.

08:42These stories will be rehashed.

08:44We have to understand

08:46that today's warfare

08:47is a battle of narratives.

08:49It's a battle of shaping

08:50the perception of the people.

08:52The Department of Foreign Affairs

08:53recognizes the importance

08:55of countering

08:56the disinformation operation of China,

08:59not only here

09:00but also in the international community.

09:02Counter disinformation

09:04with facts and strategic communication

09:06to reinforce its unlawful

09:08and expansive claims

09:09in the South China Sea.

09:10China actively pursues

09:13a disinformation campaign,

09:15which is happening now

09:16at this very time,

09:18using official government channels,

09:21state-sponsored media,

09:23and possibly troll farms

09:25to peddle several falsehoods

09:27and misrepresent facts on the issue.

09:29It is still being said

09:31that the country is talking to China

09:33like what the DFA predicted

09:35during the new bilateral talks

09:36here in Manila.

09:37But until now,

09:39there is still no answer

09:40to China's invitation.

09:42For GMA Integrated News,

09:44Chino Gaston,

09:4624 Hours.

09:48Some senators questioned

09:50the identity of

09:51Bambang Tarlac Mayor Alice Guwo,

09:53who has a connection

09:54to a raid

09:56by POGO in Lalawiga.

09:57An investigation is coming out

09:59that Guwo has no record of birth

10:01in the hospital

10:02and no documents

10:04that he studied.

10:05Ma'am Gonzales was right.

10:10She lied.

10:11There were several questions

10:12where she lied.

10:13The most stark

10:15and shocking example

10:17is the one she denied

10:19that she has a connection

10:20to Hong Xing.

10:21It's already there

10:23in the documents

10:25of the municipal government

10:26that she led.

10:28If she lied

10:30to such an obvious thing,

10:32wow.

10:34It's doubtful

10:35for the chairperson

10:36of the Senate Committee

10:37on Women and Children

10:38the identity of

10:39Bambang Mayor Alice Guwo.

10:41Yesterday,

10:42it was revealed that

10:43Guwo has no hospital record

10:44of birth

10:45and his certificate

10:46of life birth

10:47was registered

10:48when he was 17 years old.

10:50Based on his birth certificate,

10:52his father is Filipino.

10:53But in business,

10:55his father was declared

10:56to be Chinese.

10:57What I know about my father

10:59is that he's half Chinese

11:00and half Filipino.

11:01Why was your birth

11:02registered delayed?

11:04Your Honor,

11:05I checked

11:06and I'll get back to you.

11:08Why was your birth

11:10registered at 17?

11:12And where were you

11:14born?

11:15In a hospital?

11:16At home?

11:17In a lying-in clinic?

11:18Your Honor,

11:19they told me

11:20at home.

11:22At home.

11:23Where was your home

11:24when you were born?

11:26I don't remember.

11:28Guwo also has no document

11:29of studying

11:30because he's a homeschooled woman.

11:32Asked by Honteperos,

11:33is Guwo a Chinese national?

11:35If we can prove

11:37what is being investigated

11:39by the various

11:41intel agencies

11:42of our government,

11:44the surveillance

11:47and hacking activities

11:50in Pogo Hub

11:54in Bambang,

11:55we can ask

11:56if that is a long-planned

11:59and planned plan

12:01using the unknown

12:04Filipino identity

12:06of Mayor Alice

12:08to have a foothold

12:12in our political

12:14and emerging

12:15national security sector.

12:17Honteperos said

12:18it is necessary to know

12:19if this is the same

12:20as the Pastilla Scam

12:21where it came out

12:22that some foreigners paid

12:23to get Filipino documents

12:26The committee is asking

12:27Guwo's Statement of Assets

12:28and Liabilities

12:29and Statement of Contributions

12:30and Expenditures

12:32to find out

12:33where his 2022 campaign funds

12:34came from.

12:36My friends helped me

12:38and the previous administration

12:39also helped me.

12:41How long have you been

12:42with Kaya

12:43since your father died?

12:47Or are you self-made, ma'am?

12:49My parents have a little Kaya

12:51and I also worked hard,

12:52Your Honor.

12:53According to Guwo,

12:54he also met

12:55Chinese nationals

12:56because of the pork business

12:58and not because of Pogo.

13:00They have restaurants

13:02inside Clark.

13:04I supposedly sold them

13:06pork.

13:09That's when we met.

13:11And then these

13:13I look at these

13:15incorporators,

13:19three out of the five

13:20are Chinese.

13:21Yes.

13:22Do they speak Tagalog?

13:25A little.

13:26Do you speak Chinese?

13:28A little.

13:29There's information

13:30that you're fluent in Mandarin.

13:32Not just a little.

13:35Is that correct?

13:36I speak Mandarin,

13:38Your Honor.

13:39Where did you learn it?

13:41I learned it from my father.

13:43From your father?

13:44Yes, and also from

13:45the people I talk to.

13:46And also from self-study.

13:48The committee called

13:49some members of the committee

13:50to explain

13:51Guwo's personality.

13:52Is Mayor Alice

13:54and those like her

13:56having shameful pasts?

13:58Are they assets

14:00that China

14:02sent to our government

14:04to have

14:06a heavy influence

14:08on politics in the Philippines?

14:11There are many other cases

14:13like that in other countries.

14:15We tried to get

14:16Guwo's file,

14:17but Romuna

14:18will not give

14:19a statement

14:20to her office.

14:21Meanwhile,

14:22yesterday, the committee

14:23also brought

14:24the 4 Chinese nationals

14:25who were arrested in Thailand

14:27because they used

14:28a Philippine passport.

14:29It just so happened

14:31that the hotel staff

14:32had a Xerox

14:34of their passports.

14:36And the Filipino

14:38who was there

14:39was suspicious.

14:41So the Filipino

14:42talked to him,

14:43which is

14:44the Filipino

14:45cannot answer.

14:47When they inspected

14:48their room,

14:49they got

14:50a Peking birth certificates

14:51and postal ID

14:52with a Filipino name.

17:55to surrender all of her guns.

17:58The double standard to Kibuloy continues.

18:00Chief PNP Marville, after their very right decision to cancel Kibuloy's firearms licenses,

18:09was only given half a year to surrender her firearms.

18:15Don't do that.

18:16Maybe they can get the firearms in a much easier time.

18:22Please make sure that there are no firearms left in the PNP.

18:26There are cases of child and sexual abuse and qualified human trafficking.

18:33Chief PNP Rommel Francisco Marville assured that the police and law enforcement units in Kibuloy will not stop searching.

18:42For GMA Integrated News, June Veneracion, 24 Hours.

18:48The Justice Department is preparing a briefer for the President on the possible scenarios

18:53if the ICC of Waran, known as the Duterte Drug War, will be issued.

18:57Former President Rodrigo Duterte re-entered the ICC

19:01in a rally yesterday that even had a briefer.

19:04Sandra Aguinaldo was there.

19:11Former President Rodrigo Duterte arrived in Domaguete City, Negros Oriental

19:15for a peace rally in Freedom Park, the city.

19:19He said that the gathering has a permit from the LGU,

19:22but the permit was suddenly cancelled.

19:25Freedom Park was dominated by big dump trucks and tractors.

19:30Duterte said that there was a reason for the cancellation of the permit in Malacañang.

19:35I am angry. I passed Freedom Park.

19:41That's what we wanted.

19:44We went here, we asked for a permit,

19:48they gave it to us.

19:52The day we arrived, they changed the permit

19:57and destroyed Freedom Park.

20:00It came from Malacañang.

20:04It came from Bustos, Bulacan.

20:06That's what happened.

20:08We planned, we asked for a permit.

20:12That's what happened.

20:17The rally continued because Duterte said that the permit was not needed in Freedom Park.

20:24The mayor of Domaguete City admitted that they cancelled the permit for the peace rally,

20:29but Malacañang has nothing to do with this.

20:31The mayor clarified that a pastor got a permit in April for a prayer rally

20:37that will be held on May 7 in Pantawan Peoples Park.

20:41But he was surprised when another pastor wrote that there are VIPs coming as Duterte.

20:48In the letter received on May 3,

20:50the group of portaled and crowd-controlled police asked for permission for the so-called prayer rally.

20:58After being consulted by the mayor of Pulisya,

21:01the LGU decided that it was time for such a big event.

21:07The organizer replied that the rally will continue and they will look for another venue.

21:12This is the reason why the LGU chose Freedom Park.

21:17In the city of Pulisya, we are short-manned.

21:22Especially if there is a riot.

21:24There are national officials.

21:28If many people are expected, there should be reinforcement.

21:37They continued. Maybe that was the second best option.

21:43And then I appreciate the participants for conducting the rally peacefully.

21:51We listened to Malacañang's reaction, but they have nothing to do with this.

21:56In the gathering, Duterte returned to the International Criminal Court

22:01in connection with the investigation of his administration's war on drugs.

22:06At times, Senator Antonio Trillanes IV said that he has information that he can lower the warrant against Duterte in June.

22:15But the Justice Department said that they have not received such information yet.

22:20Now, they are preparing a briefer for the President where he will discuss all that might happen if this happens.

22:28The Department is now preparing a legal briefer for the President,

22:31which will describe to him the options available to him in relation to any arrest warrants by the ICC.

22:43The former President said that the government should not enforce the warrant of arrest from the ICC.

22:50We are aware that the policy of the government is that the ICC should not enter the country,

22:57but it is possible for others to enter.

22:59So it will have to be a very objective briefer for the President to know how he will act.

23:06So from the legalities, the possible re-entry into the Rome Statute,

23:13all of these were already indicated there to begin with.

23:16For GMA Integrated News, Sandra Aguinaldo, for Tutok 24 Horas.

23:23My fellow countrymen, aside from the heat,

23:25be prepared for the possibility of a possible flood in the next few days.

23:30That is regarding the clouds or cloud clusters outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility in the southeast of Mindanao.

23:37It is expected that this could form a low-pressure area and possibly enter the Par.

23:43Aside from that, it could also rise and become a storm as it approaches the country.

23:47But there could still be a change,

23:49so we will continue to monitor it.

23:51For now, the cloud cluster has no effect yet,

23:54but two weather systems will be affected, the frontal systems and Easter Lees.

23:58Easter Lees is the reason for the extremely hot weather in many places in the country.

24:02Earlier, 48 degrees Celsius was recorded in Dagupan, Pangasinan,

24:0646 degrees Celsius in Aparikagayan and Rojas Capiz.

24:10In the Heat Index of Forecast ng Pagasa,

24:12In the Heat Index of Forecast ng Pagasa,

24:14in Dagupan, possibly the hottest tomorrow,

24:17along with Viracatan Duanes and Rojas Capiz,

24:19at 45 degrees Celsius, 43,

24:22and 44 degrees Celsius in some parts of Palawan,

24:24Ilocos Norte, La Union, Iloilo, and Eastern Samar,

24:2714 places in the country are at the danger level

24:31and could experience the 42 degrees Celsius Heat Index.

24:34Despite that, there is still a chance of rain in some places.

24:37Based on the data of Metro Weather,

24:39tomorrow morning, there will be rain in Quezon, Mimaropa, and Western Visayas.

24:42In the afternoon, there will be more possible rain

24:45along with Ilocos Region, Cordillera, Central Luzon,

24:48Latest Samar Provinces, Bohol,

24:50and some parts of Northern Mindanao, Davao Region, and Zamboanga Peninsula.

24:54It is also expected that there will be a chance of rain in Metro Manila.

25:00There are still routes without a consolidated jeepney.

25:03One week after the deadline for that.

25:06In some routes, it is still hard for some passengers to ride a jeepney.

25:09Oscar Roida was shocked.

25:14It is obvious that the jeepney is waiting for the commuter, Shing,

25:19whom we saw at Conalt Avenue in Quezon City.

25:22Before, it is easier to ride a jeepney because more people pass by.

25:27But for some...

25:29Well, it is still hard to ride a jeepney.

25:32It still hasn't changed.

25:34But for the jeepney driver, Jordan, who has a trip to Quezon City Hall,

25:38towards San Mateo,

25:40it seems that it is still hard for him to ride a jeepney.

25:44Because there are more passengers.

25:47There is already a Montalban trip here.

25:50The trip from Cubao to Montalban,

25:53that's where I ride a jeepney.

25:55The new units now.

25:57According to LTFRB,

25:59more than 160,000 or 81% of jeeps in the country have been consolidated.

26:06This is a sufficient number for passengers to be serviced in the country.

26:11Although there are some routes in Metro Manila

26:14that have not been consolidated like some in Pasig and Conalt Avenue,

26:18but they have already solved this.

26:21We addressed that by requiring or by requesting

26:26the long routes of 10 kilometers

26:30that pass through the shorter routes

26:33that they will take over for the passengers.

26:36If no one really passes through,

26:38we issue what we call special permit.

26:41Normally, we get the jeeps from the neighboring routes

26:47where no one has consolidated.

26:51Although there are some that are considered as color rooms,

26:53the jeeps that have not been consolidated,

26:55it is not immediately caught.

26:59Because this is under the Public Service Act.

27:01Even though they are already color rooms under the law,

27:05there is still a process before they can be declared as color rooms.

27:10LTFRB has already started sending show-cause orders to these

27:16to explain.

27:17They will be given 5 days to respond.

27:20After this, they will only be able to return to the franchise.

27:24The last one can start on the 3rd or 4th week of May.

27:28As of now, LTO, MMD, and PNP are already flagging

27:35as color rooms.

27:37But those color rooms that have not been consolidated,

27:41it is not yet totally caught.

27:44We are just reminding them

27:46that they should not travel

27:48because the penalty is heavy.

27:51If you are caught without a franchise,

27:54a 1-year suspension for the driver,

27:56you will be fined P50,000 for the vehicle that was impounded.

28:03After the consolidation,

28:05there are 2 to 3 more years that the traditional jeepney can be used

28:09as long as it is still roadworthy, according to LTFRB.

28:12For GMA Integrated News,

28:14I'm Oscar O, 24 Hours.

28:19A weak phreatic eruption was recorded in Taal Volcano earlier this morning.

28:24According to PHIVOX,

28:25it reached 2,000 meters above the plumes of white smoke.

28:31This Monday alone,

28:32more than 2,000 tons of sulfur dioxide were emitted by the volcano.

28:38The phreatic activity of Taal Volcano

28:40is possible due to the continuous release of hot volcanic gases

28:46and it is still possible to follow it.

28:48Taal Volcano remains on alert level 1.

28:51Residents living near the volcano are continuously being alerted

28:55and the entry to the Permanent Danger Zone is still strictly prohibited.

29:03DEPED is preparing the students

29:05so that they will not compromise their studies

29:08even if the day of school year 2024-2025 is reduced.

29:13DEPED also has a reminder for those who are approaching graduation

29:16and moving up ceremony.

29:18Van Myrina learned something.

29:24Within a few weeks,

29:25moving up and graduation ceremonies will be held in different schools.

29:30DEPED will remind them to make the ceremonies simple but fun.

29:35DEPED strictly prohibits the collection of any graduation fees in public schools.

29:40It also prohibits the celebration and graduation attire

29:43in public schools that will be spent by the parents

29:46and because the weather is still hot.

29:48As much as possible,

29:49if there is available space,

29:51they should do it indoors

29:53and they need to adjust their schedules.

29:56Here in the gymnasium of Victorino Mapa High School in Manila

29:59where they will be holding their moving up ceremony on May 29,

30:02there is no wind and there is a big electric fan.

30:05800 students will be moving up

30:08and only one visitor will be allowed to join them.

30:10But if the weather is still hot,

30:12they can have the same discount during the pandemic.

30:15Plan B is online if there will be a danger level of heat index.

30:21It's more likely to have face-to-face because according to news,

30:25the worst heat index is over.

30:28Because most of the time,

30:29face-to-face classes are canceled if the weather is too hot.

30:32DEPED wants to return to school in June next year

30:36for the vacation of March.

30:37This year, the vacation is still two months

30:39because the school days will be reduced on July 29

30:43from the previous 180 days.

30:45Only 165 days for the school year 2024-2025.

30:49Because of the shortening of the school year,

30:52our contact dates with the students will be shortened.

30:55Then we will have to cope with the possible non-covering of some competencies.

31:04So that's what our Curriculum and Teaching Strand is preparing

31:08to make sure that there will be no additional learning loss.

31:13The competencies that they should learn will be reduced.

31:17But fortunately, we can have some kind of remediation during the summer

31:22or during the end of school year break.

31:25Our parents are not worried about the school days being reduced

31:29because of the return to school in June.

31:31Just like what happened today,

31:33because of the heat index, the school days were reduced,

31:36which can be recovered.

31:37It's okay as long as we can have plan B

31:41so that the students will not be caught when it comes to academics.

31:45For GMA Integrated News, Ivan Mayrina, for 24 Hours.

31:51Ombudsman called for six months of preventive suspension

31:55for Cebu Mayor Michael Rama and seven other officials.

31:58The complaints were made by four employees of the municipality

32:02who did not receive their salary within ten months.

32:06The four were pleased with the decision,

32:08but the Mayor's association with the authorities was saddened.

32:13They said that this is not the point of their complaint.

32:17For now, Cebu City Council has given their salary for four months.

32:22According to Mayor Rama, he does not know that there is another complaint against him.

32:26He has not yet received a copy of the preventive suspension.

32:30GMA Integrated News is trying to get permission from seven other officials.

32:44The heat is record-breaking this April,

32:47not just in the Philippines, but all over the world.

32:50Experts are also wondering why the global sea temperature

32:55did not rise even though El Niño was about to end.

32:58Raffi Tima was on the scene.

33:03If the heat is so hot this April,

33:05that's why this month is record-breaking when it comes to the heat of the time.

33:09There are nine stations where the extreme temperature record of April

33:15surpassed expectations.

33:17And six out of nine stations broke the all-time high.

33:22On April 27 and 28, 46 stations across the country

33:26broke the danger level of the heat index,

33:29which is 42 to 51 degrees Celsius.

33:32The hottest was 53 degrees Celsius in Iba, Zambales on April 28.

33:37This is still the effect of strong El Niño,

33:39which is still felt even though it is getting weaker.

33:42We have local thunderstorm activities,

33:45which means we have a lot of cloudiness.

33:49If there is so much cloudiness, especially during daytime,

33:53this is where we see that our atmosphere may cool down.

33:59But not only in the Philippines,

34:00the heat is record-breaking this April,

34:02but all over the world,

34:03according to the Copernicus Earth Observation Program of the European Union.

34:07The warmest April on record globally,

34:10that's the 11th month for which the temperature

34:16has been the warmest on record for the same month in all previous years

34:22for which we have data.

34:26So that's one of the longest streak of global temperature record

34:30that we have seen in recent decades.

34:34Because of this, the Paris Agreement still cannot reach

34:38the global average temperature of 1.5 degrees compared to the pre-industrial level.

34:44And even if El Niño ends,

34:46the global sea temperature remains high.

34:49Many scientists have asked the question whether

34:53there could be a shift in the climate system.

34:57I think whether we have reached a possible tipping point.

35:01For now, climate models used by climate scientists are no longer reliable

35:06if the expected El Niño will continue,

35:08or if it will be neutral after El Niño.

35:11Important information to know,

35:13because it contains what we need to prepare.

35:17For GMI Integrated News,

35:19Raffy Tima reporting for 24 Hours.

35:24Pension for all Filipino senior citizens.

35:27The mission of the Panucala in Camara.

35:31The question is, where will the funds for that go?

35:34Reporting, Jonathan Andal.

35:37There is a pension now for senior citizens,

35:41but only for the indigent or the poor.

35:44Mrs. Beatriz, who is 72 years old,

35:47has never received a pension,

35:49even though she is always applying for it.

35:52They said they will validate.

35:54I already have several validations.

35:56Until now, there is still none.

35:58It is always being denied.

36:00Most of the others are already dying of heart attacks.

36:02Nothing is happening.

36:04That's why I said I will stop applying.

36:06I will die of heart attacks.

36:10Until now, there is a Panucalang Batas in Camara

36:12that if it is passed,

36:14all senior citizens in the country will receive a pension.

36:18There is no qualification.

36:20All, as long as they are 60 years old and above,

36:22whether they are rich or poor,

36:24whether they have a pension or not,

36:26they will receive a monthly pension.

36:28You will register with OSCA

36:31so that you can be counted as a senior citizen.

36:35Under the Universal Social Pension Bill,

36:37500 pesos per month is the pension for the first year.

36:41Every year, 100 pesos will be added

36:43up to 1,000 pesos.

36:45To be implemented,

36:4789 billion pesos of funds will be needed

36:50for the estimated 10.5 million senior citizens.

36:54The question is, where will they get it from?

36:56Congressman Loreto Amante,

36:58Vice Chair of the House Senior Citizens Committee,

37:00according to his studies,

37:02the National Budget can fund

37:04the pension of grandparents

37:06who do not borrow and no agency can reduce the budget.

37:09But Panucala is still far from it.

37:11It was approved by the House Committee on Appropriations

37:14before it was included in the plenary.

37:16If it is passed in Camara,

37:18it needs to go through the Senate.

37:20And if it is also approved,

37:22the President needs to pass it to implement the law.

37:24For GMA Integrated News,

37:26Jonathan Andal, Katutok, 24 hours.

37:30More Filipinos lost their jobs this March

37:33compared to February,

37:35despite the reasons, El Niño.

37:37Katutok, Mary Zamali.

37:42According to the Philippine Statistics Authority or PSA,

37:45the number of Filipinos who lost their jobs or are unemployed

37:48has increased.

37:49One of the most affected is the agriculture sector

37:52as of March 2024,

37:54following the effects of El Niño,

37:57accompanied by African Swine Fever

37:59that affected a lot of pigs in the country.

38:022 million Filipinos or 3.9%

38:05of the labor force of 51.15 million

38:09aged 15 and above lost their jobs.

38:11Although it is lower than the 2.42 million

38:14who were unemployed in March 2023,

38:17it is higher than the 1.8 million

38:20who lost their jobs in February.

38:22Aside from the agriculture sector,

38:24the forestry sector is also affected.

38:26Transportation and storage,

38:28transportation,

38:29administrative and support service activities,

38:31and human health and social work activities.

38:34In the past, it was really like that

38:36because it is related to production.

38:39So of course, when our production decreases,

38:44our operators also reduce the number of workers.

38:49In addition to Labor and Employment Secretary Bienvenido Laguesma,

38:52the labor force also grew this year

38:54compared to last year.

38:56This is the challenge.

38:57Our new entrants, based on statistics,

39:00is something like 407,000.

39:03It only absorbed 200,000 plus.

39:07So you have added to the unemployment

39:10that is more or less 200,000.

39:13Before El Niño came into effect,

39:15they also issued a labor advisory

39:18in accordance with the provision

39:20of the Occupational Safety and Health Law

39:22to address the increasing number

39:25of unemployed due to high temperatures.

39:27This includes effective ventilation,

39:33heat insulation, appropriate clothing,

39:37adjustments to their breaks,

39:40free drinking water to maintain hydration level.

39:45The number of underemployed

39:48or those looking for additional jobs

39:50decreased to 5.39 million or 11 percent.

39:53From 6.08 million Filipinos or 12.4 percent in February

39:58and 5.44 million Filipinos or 11.2 percent

40:01who were underemployed in March 2023.

40:04For GEME Integrated News,

40:06I'm Maris Umali for 24 Hours.

40:12Marian Rivera has an answer

40:14to another dance challenge.

40:16The challenger is the Filipino hit band,

40:18Ben & Ben.

40:19Let's talk to Aubrey Carampel.

40:23Let me believe in love again

40:29That's the take of My Guardian Alien star,

40:31Marian Rivera,

40:32to the dance challenge of the OPM Pop Collective

40:35band, Ben & Ben,

40:36to their song, Could Be Something.

40:38You tell me more

40:43Do I have a chance with you?

40:47Cause I believe in love

40:51That this could be something

40:58It all started with the happiness

41:00that the band didn't expect

41:02that the primetime queen would take it seriously.

41:05Maybe, Ate Marian,

41:07maybe our song, Could Be Something,

41:10can take a step forward.

41:12And it did.

41:14Now, the ball is back to us.

41:17She said, do it too.

41:21The band became friends with Dong Yan

41:23by using the official soundtrack of the Dong Yan movie, Rewind,

41:26their song for the rest of their lives.

41:29Paolo is now a fitness body,

41:31Ding Dong Dantes,

41:32who is always with him when he's running.

41:34I learned a lot from Dong.

41:36He reached his goal,

41:38but he still has a passion for learning things.

41:42And for improving.

41:44While they are still studying Marian's dance challenge,

41:48they will release their new single on Friday,

41:52Comets,

41:53which is another sad but bittersweet song.

41:57Here it is, and they have something to taste.

42:00Why do comets come my way

42:05If they were only meant to pass

42:11Why did your love fill my days

42:16If it was never meant to last

42:21This song is called Four Years In The Making.

42:24It was written by Miguel and Paolo during the pandemic.

42:27They collaborated on the song with the Indonesian artist and producer,

42:30Petra Sihombing,

42:32who gave a new flavor to the song.

42:34Paolo invited Petra to Bali, Indonesia.

42:37Upon their first conversation,

42:39there were sparks.

42:42It was light.

42:44Fast forward to a couple of months later,

42:47he came here.

42:49And then we all got to meet him.

42:51Right here, in this room.

42:54Aside from the new single,

42:56the new album and upcoming concert is also in the works,

42:59which will take place in 2024.

43:02Aubrey Carampel,
