00:00The court's dismissal of former Senator Leyla Delima in her last drug case is being disrespected by former President Rodrigo Duterte.
00:21It is a verdict rendered by the court and we have to respect it and be happy with it.
00:29That democracy is working well in the country.
00:34The former President said that in his visit to Tacloban late yesterday.
00:38Under the administration of Duterte, Delima was convicted and sentenced for three cases related to illegal drug trade in the Philippines.
00:46The former President also had an answer to Delima's plan to answer the other cases against the former Senator.
00:55Find your peace where you are now. Don't fight because you will regret it.
01:07What will you get back from me? Didn't I do the right and wrong?
01:17The Department of Justice is expected to send back to the Philippines this July former Congressman Arnulfo Tevez Jr.
01:25This is after the court of appeals of Timor-Leste approved the extradition request of the Department of Justice
01:31in order for Tevez to face five cases related to the extradition of Negros Oriental Governor Ruel de Gamo and others.
01:40The team of DOJ is preparing to arrest Tevez in Timor-Leste.
01:45They are also preparing the former Congressman's detention facility.
01:49The GMA Integrated News is also trying to get a statement from Tevez's camp.
01:54They said that they plan to hold a motion for reconsideration in the court of Timor-Leste.
02:01Overwhelming support was received by Korean actor Kim Soo-hyun at his fan meeting in Quezon City.
02:10Wow, it's really loud.
02:14The Philophats are so excited while he is singing the song Love You With All My Heart
02:19which is one of the OST of the hit K-drama Queen of Tears.
02:24Soo-hyun is also known for My Love from the Star which was aired here in GMA.
02:29Some stars and reporters were spotted at the fan meet.
02:32First of all, Miss Maris was lucky because she has a group photo and Kim Soo-hyun is next to her.
02:37Oh my gosh, I wish all of them were here.
02:39But Soo-hyun was not able to stop being emotional because of the support and love of the fans.
02:46Soo-hyun also revealed that he will have a new drama.
02:50He also said that it's possible for him to come back to the Philippines this year.
02:56I'm so excited.
02:57But I saw him last year.
02:59We also have a picture of him.
03:02The office of the Solicitor General is almost a minute away.
03:05The case against suspended Bamban Tarlac Mayor Alice Woe.
03:09Some senators of the PADCORP challenged the former member of the Cabinet
03:14Some senators of the PADCORP challenged the former member of the Cabinet
03:19who helped to give a license to some illegal pigeons.
03:23We have first news from Mauve Gonzales.
03:29The Senate is conducting an investigation on the statement of the PADCORP
03:33that an ex-Cabinet official lobbied or helped to give a license to some illegal pigeons.
03:39Senator Riza Hontiveros said that
03:41his committee will call for a hearing and he hopes that PADCORP Chairman Alejandro Tengco will come
03:47to name the ex-Cabinet official.
03:49While Senate President Cheese Escudero challenged the PADCORP to name the official.
03:54This is also the call of Senate Minority Leader Coco Pimentel.
03:58Senator Sherwin Gatchalian said that it's right for the PADCORP to finish their investigation first
04:04before releasing the name.
04:06He also said that there are names that are being told to him but he hasn't mentioned them yet
04:10because he doesn't have a document.
04:12He also said that the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission or PAOC is waiting for PADCORP to mention them.
04:18We will have a hard time if there are people who are helping them to commit these crimes.
04:25Especially if those people are in the government or not.
04:32This Sunday, PAOC is expected to file the first complaint against the last kidnappers and torturers in Porac Tuguhol.
04:41It's important that we will not only be able to answer these foreign criminals, but who helped them.
04:49Only a few Filipinos are being charged.
04:52But for me, it's scary.
04:56They have the skill set to do the scam activities.
05:00The point in time would come that they will have enough capital.
05:05What if they will form a group that will do the same?
05:08In the case of suspended Bantarlak Mayor Alice Goh,
05:12Solicitor General Menardo Guevara said that they will finalize the Coahuaranto case against Goh next week.
05:19What PAOC is remembering now is...
05:21What if that money will be used to what is dubbed as POGO politics?
05:28We already have Alice Leal Goh. We already have Goh Waping.
05:33How can we be sure that Goh Waping is the only elected politician who is sitting there?
05:41What if there are higher positions that they are sitting in?
05:45This is the first news. Mav Gonzalez for GMA Integrated News.
05:51The Department of Social Welfare and Development of DSWD is planning to adjust the cash grants for the beneficiaries of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program.
06:00We will have an interview with DSWD Assistant Secretary Chasey Marquez, the co-spokesperson of DSWD.
06:07Good morning to all of you. I'm Asec Marquez de Maristo and we are live on Unang Balita.
06:12Good morning Marise and to everyone who is watching your program.
06:15Good to see you again Asec.
06:16Good to see you again Asec.
06:17First of all, what is the reason for the adjustments to the cash grants for the four-piece beneficiaries?
06:23And will these grants be added or reduced?
06:28You're right Marise.
06:29If you can remember, this first part of the year, our President Marcos issued a directive
06:35to adjust the value of the cash grants under the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program or four-piece.
06:41This directive includes an automatic adjustment to the value of the cash grants even if there is no legislation or law.
06:47This is in line with the assurance that the cash grants of the four-piece beneficiaries should still be able to help them
06:55against inflation or increase the value of the first purchases.
07:00At present, the DSWD continues our discussions and coordination with the National Economic Development Authority or NEDA,
07:08Philippine Statistics Authority or PSA, and the Philippine Institute for Development Studies or PIDS
07:13in forming an assurance to increase the value of the cash grants for our beneficiaries of four-piece.
07:21How high is it possible to increase the value of the four-piece cash grants if there is no legislation or law?
07:27Yes, Marise.
07:28As I mentioned, we are still in the process of studying and we are studying this closely with our agencies.
07:37You can expect that we will share with you the details as time goes by.
07:45At present, this is one of the priorities of the DSWD to help the beneficiaries of the program.
07:52So, is it just inflation that will be the basis of these adjustments?
07:56Or are there other factors that will be the basis for the adjustments?
08:00And when do we expect this to start?
08:03How long is the study or assessment that we are doing?
08:08Yes, that's right, Marise.
08:09So, the first reason is inflation and it will also be based on the policies or researches of PIDS
08:16that are relevant to the study of the four-piece program that is also in accordance with the law.
08:24And when do we expect this to start?
08:25Do we have a time frame when it comes to the study that you are doing?
08:29Within this year, are we expecting it to happen?
08:33Hopefully, we will be able to do the assessment this year and for implementation, hopefully next year when this is finalized.
08:41All right.
08:42So now, how many four-piece beneficiaries do we have?
08:44And will you continue to include them in your list to remove those who are supposed to be graduates?
08:50There are also some who I understand are already graduates.
08:55Yes, at present, 4.4 million households are active members of our four-piece in the country.
09:03As of the first quarter, we already have 700,000 households or families who are self-sufficient
09:12or those who can stand on their own two feet.
09:14Graduation ceremonies are ongoing for self-sufficient beneficiaries through Puhay Tagumpay
09:21and we continue to assess our social workers at their self-sufficiency level
09:28through what we call Social Welfare and Development Indicators or SWIDI.
09:33This is the tool that we use to assess the self-sufficiency level of our four-piece beneficiaries.
09:39And automatically, if there are already graduates and they are no longer on the list,
09:44there will be someone to replace them so that they can benefit. Is that right?
09:49That's right, Maris.
09:50So that we can reach more rightful beneficiaries, those who are truly in need, our fellow citizens.
09:56All right. Thank you very much, Assistant Secretary JC Marquez, the co-spokesperson of DSWD,
10:02for your time and for the information that you gave us. Have a nice day.
10:07Thank you very much as well.
10:10The Land Transportation Office will conduct a closer look at the no-plate no-travel
10:15in the passing of tricycles in Quezon City.
10:18Let's find out the reaction of the tricycle drivers.
10:21Live from Quezon City, we have the first news.
10:24This is James Agustin.
10:25James, what did our fellow truck drivers say?
10:33Ivan, among the todas here in Quezon City that I visited,
10:36there are still a lot of tricycle drivers and tricycle passers-by who are not using plates
10:42and are only using temporary license plates or the old plates.
10:47The drivers said that even they are waiting for the LTO to give them the plates.
10:57Since today, the Land Transportation Office will conduct a closer look at the no-plate no-travel policy
11:03in the passing of tricycles in Quezon City.
11:06The tricycle driver, Danny, has no problem with that.
11:09He said that everyone should have plates already.
11:12For me, they should issue the plates immediately.
11:17How about the tricycle drivers who don't have plates and can't travel?
11:23One day, if we lose our livelihood, that's a big thing for us.
11:30Eduardo has only been able to get a new plate for almost two weeks.
11:34He also used a temporary license plate for seven years.
11:37There's nothing we can do. Even if we don't vote, that's how it is.
11:42That's how it is. That's what will happen.
11:47According to the LTO, they have already issued a backlog of almost 3,000 tricycle license plates in Quezon City.
11:53But according to the todas here in Diliman, there are still a lot of drivers using temporary license plates
11:58or the old plates.
12:01Because it's more difficult for the police to carry out their job,
12:04the drivers that we talked to will be discarded.
12:07We will hide first in case we get caught.
12:09It's hard to get caught because there's a lot of traffic.
12:12As long as we don't have plates, we will travel in the early morning.
12:17When it's 7 in the morning, we will leave.
12:23Because if we get caught, what will we do?
12:28According to the drivers, they are waiting for a plate from the LTO.
12:32That's why they appealed to the government.
12:34It's not coming. Of course, we are waiting.
12:37There's no plate coming.
12:39I hope they will give us our plates.
12:42It's been a long time.
12:44Because if we get caught, we will be pitiful.
12:48According to the implementation of the police, the LTO will consult with the QCLGU.
12:53Meanwhile, Ivan, we are still learning from the LTO how much the fine will be for the police
13:03if the tricycle drivers get caught.
13:05But based on what's written in the Land Transportation and Traffic Code,
13:09the fine will be P300 for those who will be caught in the vehicle
13:13that has already been registered or not registered
13:16and there is no evidence that the license plate is being used.
13:21Here's the first news. From Quezon City, I'm James Agustin for GEMA Integrated News.
13:26Former President Rodrigo Duterte insisted that he has no plans to return to politics.
13:32He said that after his son Vice President Tara Duterte said that it's possible for his father
13:39and his siblings, Davao City Representative Paulo Duterte and Davao City Mayor Sebastian Duterte, to run for senator.
13:45Meanwhile, in the West Philippine Sea, the former President insisted that it is part of the Exclusive Economic Zone of the Philippines.
13:52However, he insisted that the Philippines is not at war with China during his administration.
13:58He also said that the Filipinos have no problems and are free to go fishing.
14:02According to the Department of Foreign Affairs, as of November 2021,
14:06more than 200 diplomatic protests were held against China under the administration of Duterte.
14:16Three hours later, the Philippine Coast Guard managed to rescue the wrecked boat in Bajo de Masinloc.
14:22The rescue mission was tried to be blocked by the China Coast Guard.
14:27Here's the first news from Jonathan Andal.
14:33The Philippine Fishing Boat, or FFB Akio, was about to sink when the Philippine Coast Guard pulled it back from the waves.
14:41Its engine exploded near Bajo de Masinloc or Panatagsol.
14:44There were eight Filipino fishermen on board.
14:47Two of them had second-degree burns so their skin was torn.
14:51They were immediately transferred to the BRP Sindangan of the PCG and were given first aid by the Coast Guard nurses.
14:57According to the owner of the boat, the engine exploded due to faulty wiring.
15:02When the engine started, something exploded.
15:06We tried to save them.
15:08The other two were transferred to the SBMA and were immediately taken to the hospital.
15:15We tried to rescue the boat and the other passengers.
15:21The rescue mission of the PCG lasted three hours.
15:26The China Coast Guard tried to block it even though they said they will respond to the emergency.
15:32When the rescue was about to start, the China Coast Guard and the PLA Navy attempted to initially block the MRRP of the Philippine Coast Guard, the BRP Sindangan.
15:49According to Banilio, the Chinese even threatened to arrest all the fishermen there if they cannot help them.
15:56When the China Coast Guard explained, they allowed the PCG to approach the boat.
16:02There was also a report that they actually offered help.
16:06They will launch a reef to rescue the fishermen.
16:11But the fishermen knew that we were coming and they did not rescue the China Coast Guard.
16:18According to the PCG, the incident is true.
16:20The Philippine Coast Guard's boat was placed in the West Philippine Sea and was ready to sink our fishermen.
16:26But according to a group of Zambalist fishermen, they did not see the Philippine Navy's boat in Baudimasinlok.
16:32Even before, they were asked to join the fishermen.
16:35That's why until now, they are only sailing on the sides of the Zambalist.
16:39Later, we were brought to China. We did not know where we were going.
16:44Later, they suddenly threw us into the sea.
16:47We did not fight back because we are just small boats.
16:51On June 15, China implemented the regulation to arrest anyone who illegally enters their waters and maritime borders.
16:58According to the Integrated Bar of the Philippines, the government is mandated to provide protection to the fishermen inside our EEZ.
17:06This is the first news.
17:07Jonathan Andal for GMA Integrated News.
17:10Let's now look at the price of rice in the labor market.
17:13Live from Manila, we have the first news.
17:15Shomer Apresto.
17:16Shomer, how much is it now?
17:22Maris, good morning.
17:23The price of rice is not fluctuating.
17:26That's what some retailers of rice said when I talked to them here in the labor market in Manila.
17:30The price of rice is still high in our hearts this month of July.
17:40The price of rice is still not fluctuating in the last two months.
17:45In fact, here in the labor market in Manila, well-milled rice has been priced at only four pesos per kilo since April.
17:54Before, there was no 50, no 48, but now there is.
17:57However, there are also some rice here that is priced at only regular milled and well-milled rice.
18:03It is noteworthy that the price of imported rice has dropped from 100 to 150 pesos per sack of 25 kilos of rice.
18:15That is equivalent to four to six pesos per kilo.
18:18It is expected that the price of rice will really drop in the coming month of September.
18:24It depends.
18:25If there are a lot of stocks and a lot of imported rice arrives, it is possible that the price will not change and it will still go down.
18:31Although the price is high, the public is more fond of well-milled rice that is priced at 60 pesos per kilo.
18:38If retailers will ask, they prefer to return the price ceiling to rice.
18:43This is the Executive Order No. 39 of last year where regular milled rice is only 41 pesos while well-milled rice is priced at 45 pesos.
18:53It would be better if we have that.
18:55But with the current price, that price is not yet acceptable.
19:02Meanwhile, Maris, according to some retailers here,
19:05each sack of rice will be more affordable compared to the price of rice that is sold per kilo.
19:13That is the latest from Manila.
19:15I am Jomer Apresto for GMA Integrated News.
