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.

17:58The 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.
