00:38 He went to the Malabon Acacia Monument.
00:40 In order to at least see the law enforcement officers, we have complied.
00:47 At the Paco Rotunda route, 40 jeepneys in Manila were not able to pass because they were not consolidated.
00:56 The passengers who were allowed to pass were disappointed with the three modern jeeps that were left behind.
01:01 We are sure that people will be able to ride the jeepney because the commuters are poor.
01:08 How can we travel if we are caught by the LTFRB?
01:12 We will travel by jeepney.
01:16 My drivers here are families who feed their children.
01:19 A jeepney did not travel to this terminal so the queue of commuters was getting longer.
01:25 Others were riding tricycles.
01:27 The passengers are poor.
01:29 I have no choice but to ride a tricycle because it's hot when I walk.
01:33 The LGU of Manila deployed a free ride.
01:37 In the monitoring of the LTFRB,
01:39 there are 313 routes in Metro Manila that have traditional jeepneys that were not consolidated before the April 30 deadline.
01:48 They feel the effect on the passengers because many of these routes travel from or go to commercial hubs.
01:56 In Caloocan and Balintawak, eight routes were reduced by the jeepney.
02:00 But the LTFRB said that the routes that were consolidated were enough.
02:05 Thirteen routes from and to Blumenthritt were reduced by the jeepneys that were consolidated.
02:11 There are traditional jeepneys and e-jeepneys that are consolidated.
02:15 The hub in Quezon City is also the center of low-rise and commercial houses,
02:20 where 13 routes are affected.
02:23 But no passenger was stranded.
02:25 The LTFRB reminded those who have not consolidated yet that the jeepney should not be forced to travel.
02:33 Those who will be arrested will be able to go home with the driver's suspension,
02:37 a fine of P50,000 to the operator and the vehicle could be impounded for 30 days.
02:44 Today is the start of the arrest, but the LTFRB has not yet issued a statement that the person will be arrested.
02:51 If we are arrested, not all or a massive number. We will just apprehend two to three per day.
02:59 We would just like to derive the message that they should not travel because they are already in a colorful state and it's not good for them to travel.
03:09 If something happens to their passengers, they will not be covered by passenger insurance.
03:15 It is possible that the arrests will be carried out in areas where the consolidated jeepneys are still in a low state.
03:21 Pasig is one that we are looking into. And then part of Quezon City, here in the Commonwealth, in Tila and Novaliches.
03:31 The MMDA also said that they are still waiting for guidelines from the LTFRB to arrest those who have not consolidated yet.
03:39 But according to the last of some groups, like the manivela and the pistons, they marched towards the arrest of the LTFRB.
03:50 Are they not content? They are already taking our franchise that we are fighting for.
03:56 After that, will they still take the jeepney and impound it? What do they want to happen?
04:03 They are not against modernization, but they are in favor of the process that they want to do.
04:09 We will not give our jeepneys. We have franchise. Only the Congress can revoke it.
04:17 We are still waiting for the LTFRB's decision on this.
04:21 For GMA Integrated News, Mark Salazar, your witness.
04:27 The NBI is now holding the negotiator Ferdinand Guerrero.
04:31 He admitted that he is guilty of the court's charge, including the case of Bong Navarro.
04:37 He is facing them, Cedric Lee and Denise Cornejo.
04:40 John Consulta is a witness.
04:42 Last afternoon, NBI Director Medardo Telemos visited Makati City to give his testimony against Ferdinand Guerrero.
04:53 After being interviewed by his lawyers, he was arrested by the NBI.
04:58 Do you have the right to remain silent?
05:00 What will you say to those who are against you?
05:04 Guerrero is co-accused by Cedric Lee and Denise Cornejo of being convicted in a case of serious illegal detention for ransom,
05:11 which was committed by the actor Bong Navarro.
05:14 According to Guerrero, he admitted his guilt while appealing his case.
05:19 I surrender everything to the Lord. God is sovereign. God is in total control.
05:24 We will elevate this case and we will fight on our feet.
05:29 And we are confident in our justice system that Ferdinand Guerrero will be given a fair fight.
05:36 The NBI is forcing the documents to be arrested by Guerrero.
05:42 We will return the warrant to the issuing court and we will let the judge know that Mr. Guerrero is in the custody of the NBI.
05:50 We will wait for the commitment order of the judge and the facility that will be sent.
05:55 And we will follow that.
05:59 For GMA Integrated News, John Consulta, your witness.
06:05 The bill shot in electricity is likely to be repeated next month.
06:11 The NGCP itself said that its seal for transmission or distribution of electricity could be increased
06:18 due to the cost of electricity and the problem with their tower.
06:22 Witness Mackie Polido.
06:25 12 new towers of the National Grid Corporation in Cebu were stolen by the steel workers and sold in a junk shop.
06:35 Under the Anti-Pilferage Law, this amount is up to Php 100,000 and is jailed for 12 to 20 years.
06:42 It's not just because the NGCP will replace it.
06:47 There is a real danger of the transmission being cut off.
06:51 It's also possible for a disaster to occur.
06:55 In Batangas, the NGCP has a problem with the court's decision to move the two towers
07:01 that are part of the Tuvidas Marinas transmission line and substation project.
07:05 The NGCP said that because of that, the project could be suspended for two years
07:09 and the 5,000 megawatts of electricity supply from the newly built plants will not be delivered.
07:15 Because all expenses are being transferred to consumers, this means that the problems could be raised by the electric bill.
07:22 We saw in the past few weeks that there are red alerts.
07:26 If the NGCP does not finish the projects on time, it might go up.
07:32 The estimate of the NGCP is Php 10 per kilowatt hour that could be added to the transmission charge in the next month.
07:39 This is what the NGCP bought from the Reserve Bank of Corrientes in March that was approved by the Energy Regulatory Commission.
07:46 If you consume Php 200 per kilowatt hour per month, it could be added to the electric bill by Php 20.
07:52 Meralco said that it will be sold to consumers and they will still compute.
07:56 Of course, there is a possibility that the overall rates will increase.
08:01 We still need to check the actual amount.
08:08 Like many, Maysan does not know where the payment will end
08:11 due to the unceasing increase of electricity bills.
08:15 I hope our government will help us.
08:17 The first thing that hurts is the increase in the bills.
08:21 Instead of buying rice, payment to other things, if this continues, what will happen?
08:27 For GMA Integrated News, I am Mackie Pulido, your witness.
08:34 Despite the protection of the ships of China, this group of people considered to be successful.
08:39 Their mission is to share the assistance of fishermen in the Strait of Seoul.
08:44 And like the China's radio challenge to our ships in the Strait,
08:48 China's radio challenge also raised the official of the Philippines to go to the island.
08:54 That is part of the Free Group of Islands in Palawan.
08:57 Witnesses are Ma'am Gonzalez and Joseph Moro.
09:02 The mission to share assistance and supplies to fishermen in the Strait of Seoul,
09:08 is considered to be a success of this group.
09:11 What we can say is, mission accomplished.
09:14 Yesterday morning, their advance team was able to get 25 to 30 nautical miles from the Strait
09:20 to provide supplies and gasoline.
09:22 Although the ships of China Coast Guard and Chinese Navy are surrounded,
09:26 the Chinese Navy still managed to get 200 meters from the small boat.
09:31 Yesterday, three ships of China Coast Guard were on the Strait.
09:35 Earlier, only one China Coast Guard vessel was able to reach the Strait,
09:38 but later, two more ships returned.
09:41 That ship of China Coast Guard is one of the three Chinese Coast Guard vessels
09:47 that were stranded here in the group of our people and in the BRP Bagacay of the Philippine Coast Guard.
09:54 That is part of the first layer of blockade for this mission here in West Philippines.
10:01 But aside from that, we also saw a ship of the Chinese Navy.
10:05 The group of fishermen in the Strait of Seoul were able to provide supplies.
10:10 They are not going straight to Panatag Seoul because they are in Guanaman
10:14 to help the fishermen in the Philippine Coast Guard.
10:17 The ship of China Coast Guard was stranded in the convoy of our TOLC Coalition yesterday afternoon.
10:23 Now, the group is returning to Zambales after they were able to complete their mission.
10:28 Like the radio challenges of China yesterday,
10:33 like the people of PCG who are guarding the civilian mission,
10:37 the group of senators who went to Pagasa Island also participated in the radio challenge
10:42 together with the Defense Secretary and the Mayor of Kalayaan Group of Islands in Palawan.
10:46 The Subi Reef is very close to where they were occupied
10:49 and they placed naval facilities and battle stations.
10:54 So, it is alarming.
10:55 When we landed earlier, there were verbal challenges.
10:59 And it's so sad that we are here inside our country.
11:02 This is the territory of the Philippines.
11:04 And then you are told to leave because this is the territory of China.
11:09 It is really surprising, alarming and infuriating.
11:12 When it comes to the island,
11:14 the officials held a security briefing and the new navy barracks were ground-breaking.
11:19 Only 3 kilometers from here,
11:21 more than 20 ships of China Coast Guard and Chinese militia vessels were observed.
11:26 It took more than an hour.
11:28 But if it's a different kind, it's faster.
11:32 But they will try to kill us.
11:37 I think they are safe because no right-thinking nation will attack civilians.
11:42 The Super Rural Health Unit or RHU also went ground-breaking.
11:46 Because there is no laboratory and their health center is under renovation.
11:50 It's really hard because we don't know,
11:53 especially our stroke patients,
11:55 we don't know what's happening to the brain.
11:57 As time goes by, it can deteriorate.
12:01 We pray that the condition of our patients won't get worse
12:07 while waiting for air evacuation.
12:11 It's a normal life for the islanders.
12:14 This is where Marian's parents live.
12:16 Now that he has a wife and a child,
12:18 they chose to live here.
12:20 He told us his story about the Chinese.
12:22 There are more Chinese than before.
12:25 Yes.
12:26 Before, there were a lot of Chinese in the whole island.
12:30 When I first arrived, I was a new person.
12:34 But after a while, I felt like I was normal.
12:41 Why did you decide to stay here?
12:44 I didn't want to, but it's nice here.
12:47 There's no cost, it's far from the city,
12:51 far from the noise, like Manila.
12:53 There are a lot of problems.
12:54 It's not like here, it's more about food.
12:57 The nearest health facility is located 200 nautical miles from Pag-asa Island.
13:02 That's why it's really hard when there's an emergency.
13:05 Either they will do air evacuation using the airplanes of the AFP,
13:08 but it's just a temporary thing, or they will use a sea vessel.
13:11 But it will take a few days and it's expensive.
13:14 That's why it's a big help for the Pag-asa people
13:16 when the Super Rural Health Unit is built.
13:19 The Senate promised that the projects in Pag-asa Island will be added.
13:23 From Pag-asa Island, I am Mav Gonzalez.
13:26 From the West Philippine Sea, I am Joseph Morong.
13:29 Your "Saksi".
13:30 There's no reason for the NTF to split up
13:35 or the National Task Force to end local communist armed conflict.
13:38 According to President Bombon Marcos,
13:41 the government is not doing the right thing,
13:43 which is one of the main reasons for the call to split up the task force.
13:48 He will continue to clean up the remaining barangays
13:52 that still have rebellion or insurrection.
13:55 I will ask you, why do you always ask me that?
14:01 There's no reason why we should remove that.
14:04 There are still some attorneys who haven't been given assistance.
14:11 We will finish everything before we think of removing the NTF,
14:16 if it's not necessary.
14:18 Daycare for senior citizens?
14:23 I'm just saying.
14:24 How about that, in the camera,
14:25 so that senior citizens can have a place to work or school
14:30 while their loved ones are alive.
14:32 "Saksi" by Sandra Aguinaldo.
14:34 At the age of 75, Adelina is helping her family's store
14:42 to feed her daughter and grandchildren.
14:45 Her daily work is good for her to stay strong.
14:50 She also wants to do the household chores, but it's also expensive.
14:55 On Saturdays and Sundays, I'm with my children.
14:58 I'm walking to UP, but I'm just going to spend my time here in our business.
15:05 We don't have money for the groceries.
15:08 People like Adelina can benefit from the House Bill 10362,
15:14 which will create daycare centers in each barangay for senior citizens.
15:21 In the bill of Representative Milagros Aquino Magsaysay,
15:26 the community-based daycare center can be visited by senior citizens
15:31 for their tourism and educational, health and socio-cultural programs and services.
15:37 Some of the social services that can be provided by daycare centers are
15:42 arts and crafts, games, dancing, storytelling, and field trips and outings.
15:48 Some of the senior citizens we talked to are favorites.
15:52 Some seniors are not convinced that daycare centers are a good idea.
16:01 But if there's a law that says senior citizens are already earning
16:05 in a barangay, it requires a budget for building daycare centers and additional expenses.
16:12 It also requires a proper discussion on the status of senior citizens
16:17 and how to use the facility and who will be responsible for their safety while there.
16:23 We need a responder, medical staff,
16:29 before they join the activities, you need to check their condition.
16:34 According to the bill, the budget for the daycare center will come from the local government unit.
16:41 The centers can also receive donations.
16:44 Although it's a good idea, some of the seniors we talked to said that there are other more important needs.
16:53 The pending bills for the benefits of senior citizens,
17:00 like the universal pension that they are talking about, it's not yet there.
17:07 I hope that when you reach 80, you will have 50,000 pesos.
17:13 When you reach 90, you will have an additional 25,000 pesos.
17:16 When you reach 125,000 pesos, which is right,
17:19 because when you reach 80, you will enjoy the 50,000 pesos.
17:24 For GMA Integrated News, I'm Sandra Aguinaldo, your witness.
17:31 Hot weather is still possible in some areas.
17:35 According to the Heat Index Forecast, it's possible to reach 45 degrees Celsius in Dagupan, Pangasinan,
17:40 Sangli Point, Cavite, San Jose Occidental, Mindoro, Zamboanga City.
17:45 In 20 other areas, the Danger Level Heat Index of 42 and 43 degrees Celsius is still possible,
17:51 including Pasay and Quezon City.
17:54 However, the rain is still prepared.
17:57 Tomorrow morning, the chance of rain in Quezon will start,
18:01 based on the data of Metro Weather.
18:03 And according to yesterday, many areas will be flooded.
18:07 The heavy rain is possible, which can cause flooding or landslides.
18:12 In Metro Manila, the chance of rain is also high, whether it's day or night.
18:16 The WALs in their families in the Philippines are all very rich.
18:22 But it's also important for them to save.
18:27 The Department of Migrant Workers has strengthened the program to teach the OFWs to invest and avoid scams.
18:33 Witness, JP Soriano.
18:35 Margarita has been working hard for 5 years to provide for her loved ones
18:43 for a monthly salary of 30,000 pesos as a healthcare worker in Saudi Arabia.
18:48 It was very important in 2013, especially if she saved for half a decade.
18:54 But because of the breadwinner of the family and the escape of her relatives,
18:58 she only woke up one day and she still didn't save.
19:03 Your effort there, you don't sleep even if you're sick, you really need to work there.
19:09 So when I woke up here in the Philippines,
19:14 I said, "I should have saved before, I shouldn't have given everything to them."
19:19 She doesn't regret sleeping.
19:21 She also hopes that you invest in your income.
19:24 She says it's a good thing that she's going to Canada as a caregiver.
19:29 For OFWs like her, the Department of Migrant Workers' financial literacy program was strengthened.
19:37 It's part of the seminar required for all the leaving OFWs.
19:43 Before an OFW leaves, they need to go through the pre-departure orientation seminar.
19:50 What they are taught in that training room is financial literacy
19:56 or how an OFW can save money to work abroad.

20:31 So that there will be more Filipinos educated in terms of how the Philippine stock market works.
20:37 High risk, low risk, high yield, low yield, how to rent dubious stock offerings or scams or what have you.
