00:00Good morning. Here are the first news brought to you by GMA Integrated News.
00:20The National Security Council has not monitored any threats from China.
00:25This is based on Senator Aimee Marcos' statement that there are hypersonic missiles flying over China
00:30targeting 25 places in the Philippines.
00:33The hypersonic missiles are capable of flying five times faster than the speed of sound
00:39which is why it is difficult or impossible to be blocked by air defense systems.
00:43The NSC will consult with the Senator to get additional details.
00:48The Armed Forces of the Philippines will do the same.
00:52The Department of National Defense has not commented
00:55because they have not seen or read the plans of the Senator.
01:00According to the maritime law expert, Attorney Jay Batong Bacal,
01:04the Senator's statements are based on speculation and no factual basis
01:08aside from the fact that he has access to China's war plans.
01:13He asked Senator Marcos, but he did not give details as to who is his source.
01:19I just saw a report and it looks reliable because it targets EDCA sites.
01:29GMA Integrated News continues to get the statement of the Chinese Embassy and Department of Foreign Affairs about this.
01:36This Tuesday, the Philippine authorities in China discussed the bilateral consultation mechanism
01:42and filed a case to ease tensions in the West Philippine Sea.
01:46Senator Anancy Binay walked out in the midst of Senator Alan Peter Cayetano's defeat
01:52regarding the construction of the new Senate building.
01:56You're not listening to the problem.
01:57That's right Mr. Chairman. You don't know how to read.
02:0121 became 23.
02:03I didn't say that 23 came from them.
02:06Make your point and then move on.
02:08My point is...
02:09Move on because you're out of order.
02:10On your end, DPWH, does the amount of P23 billion exist in your documents?
02:17There is none, Mr. Chairman.
02:18Thank you.
02:19Sorry, sorry.
02:20There is none.
02:21The whole of Canada exists.
02:24Let's finish this properly.
02:26This is the Senate of the Philippines, not a market.
02:30Mr. Cayetano and Mr. Binay have already discussed the cost of the new Senate building.
02:35According to Mr. Binay, P21.7 billion was spent on the construction of the building.
02:40As for Mr. Cayetano's gate, P23 billion is the total cost
02:46if P1.6 billion of land is included.
02:50Mr. Binay's answer is that DPWH did not contribute to the purchase of land
02:55because only the building was contracted to them.
02:59Before Mr. Binay walked out,
03:00Mr. Binay said that the boundary issue of Taguig and Makati City was a result of Mr. Cayetano's defeat.
03:07Mr. Cayetano is leading in Taguig while Mr. Binay is leading in Makati City.
03:13This is Makati and Taguig.
03:15You said that someone is stabbing you in the back.
03:17Then you should be charged with attempted murder.
03:19I will tell you later who is stabbing me.
03:22But it's not me.
03:23I'm not saying that it's you.
03:25How can you say in the media that this has something to do with Taguig and Makati City
03:30and then you say that someone is stabbing you in the back?
03:32But did I say that Alan Peter Cayetano is stabbing me?
03:36Didn't they say that if you react like that, you might be guilty?
03:40Your name is Lourdes, not Marites.
03:44So let's fix this. It's embarrassing.
03:47Not yet.
03:50When will the new Senate building, which has been delayed for more than 800 days, be completed?
03:56Next, the contractor and the Senate coordinating team will be called to explain the expenses of the project.
04:05Next, let's talk about the Olympics.
04:10Filipino athletes who will play in the 2024 Paris Olympics have been added.
04:15John Acabang-Tolentino has already qualified for the 110-meter hurdles event.
04:20He holds the national record of 13.37 seconds in the event.
04:26Another Paris-bound, Warren Hoffman, has qualified for the 400-meter hurdle event.
04:32He holds the national record of 55.72 seconds.
04:37According to the Philippine Olympic Committee,
04:39there are already 22 Filipino athletes who will play in the Olympics that will start on July 26.
04:45Comilac will also erase the fingerprints of suspended Bamban Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo
04:50for their plan to file a case against the mayor.
04:53Aside from the fingerprints of Mayor Guo against Guo Huaping,
04:57which is his true identity,
04:59the fingerprints of the mayor's sister also matched with a Chinese national.
05:03We have the first news, Sandra Aguinaldo.
05:08Where is Alice Leal Guo?
05:11The same name, date and place of birth of suspended Bamban Mayor Alice Guo,
05:18but with a different face based on the record of the National Bureau of Investigation or NBI.
05:23Its address is in Quezon City, in the NBI clearance,
05:27but after a few weeks of searching, it was still not found.
05:31That's why the NBI offered P50,000.
05:35Let's ask, why did you do that? Who gave you the order?
05:39Maybe someone instructed him to get a clearance,
05:44use this, Alice Guo, born on July 12, 1986,
05:51you were born in Tabla.
05:53I will pay you P20,000, take it.
05:56For whatever purpose, whatever they want.
06:00It is not clear if Alice Leal Guo of Quezon City is related to Mayor Guo.
06:06But Senator Riza Ontiveros said that
06:09it is possible that Mayor Guo took the identity of Alice Leal Guo of Quezon City.
06:14Based on the investigation of the NBI, the fingerprints of the two are different.
06:19The NBI first confirmed that the fingerprints of Mayor Guo and Guo Huaping match,
06:26which is the true identity.
06:28According to Comilec, it will also be compared by their fingerprint expert.
06:33Comilec has its own handwriting and fingerprint experts.
06:36If the fingerprint of Guo Huaping and Guo Huaping is the same,
06:42we can make a conclusion about that.
06:45Comilec asked the NBI to provide them with findings
06:49on the case of violation of the Omnibus Election Code,
06:52which is possible that they are an enemy of Guo.
06:55This has something to do with Guo's possible deception
06:58in his Certificate of Candidacy when he was elected mayor.
07:02Mayor Guo's brother, Wesley Leal Guo,
07:05matched the fingerprint of Guo Xiangdian,
07:08who arrived in the Philippines from Fujian, China,
07:11in 1999 using a Chinese passport.
07:14This is based on the investigation of the NBI, according to Senator Nguyen Gatchalian.
07:18This is just a demonstration that the Guo family abused the late registration process
07:24to make them a Filipino.
07:26According to Mayor Guo's lawyer,
07:28it is not yet official that the NBI will let them know the fingerprint findings.
07:33He will let his client know the reaction to this.
07:37But if there is a case of violation of the law,
07:40they will investigate thoroughly if the documents are true.
07:44This is the first news.
07:46Sandra Aguinaldo for GMA Integrated News.
07:51We still have time for the upcoming opening of the class.
07:55Let's talk about some issues.
07:57Let's welcome the new Secretary of the Department of Education,
08:01Senator Sonny Angara.
08:03Good morning to all of you.
08:04Secretary Angara.
08:06Good morning to our listeners,
08:10especially our students and teachers and parents.
08:14I'm sorry that I couldn't go there.
08:18We're all expecting you here.
08:24Anyway, Senator, Secretary,
08:26first of all, we understand that you have two terms in the Senate
08:30and you're no longer up for re-election.
08:33But is this the main reason why you accepted the Deputy Secretary portfolio
08:38given that you have a more extensive background as a legislator than in the education sector?
08:43We understand also that you became a teacher, a regent,
08:47and an author of a lot of bills and laws in the education sector.
08:52But for some, your background in education is not that extensive.
09:00They're right.
09:02We didn't grow up as school administrators or teachers,
09:06although we also taught and became part of the school governing board.
09:11But they're right.
09:13That's why I'm here.
09:15We haven't been able to start our duties yet, Maris,
09:21but we acknowledge that we have a lot to learn.
09:25That's our primary goal in our duties.
09:29We admit that we still have a lot to learn and study here.
09:34But we're willing and we're listening to the advice of experts,
09:40educators, and we will not politicize this very important department.
09:47But on the other hand, Senator,
09:50how can your legislative or lawmaking background help you in your new duties as Deputy Secretary?
09:58That's a big help because our coordination with our legislators will be better,
10:05particularly when it comes to passing our budget annually.
10:10In terms of coordination with the laws passed by the Congress,
10:17hopefully, our implementing rules will be smoother.
10:23Since the Congress is the highest policymaking body,
10:30we will follow it.
10:32We will help them if they need research or supporting documents in their bills.
10:43We are ready to support them.
10:45Senator, how will you start the Marching Orders of the President,
10:49especially in raising the PISA rankings in the Philippines?
10:52We're in the second to the lowest.
10:55This is a bit difficult.
10:57But what are your plans to do this?
11:03The PISA rating is a reflection of the quality of our education.
11:08Our direction now is to streamline our curriculum or make it simpler.
11:15Before, it was focused on a lot of subjects and competencies,
11:21almost 1,000.
11:23Our current direction is to focus on the basics or educational and foundational skills.
11:31We will continue that.
11:33That is reading, focus on reading and mathematics and science.
11:39That will be our focus and we will increase that because that is the foundation of our educational system.
11:46The streamlining of the curriculum is important for the students to focus on the most important things,
11:54like reading, comprehension, mathematics and science.
11:58That's right. That will be our focus.
12:01We will see how we can further simplify it and improve the quality of our teaching.
12:09We will also look at our teacher's education.
12:13Not only the teacher, but the continuing education is also a part of the professional growth of a teacher.
12:24We have a teacher education council and we will see how we can improve its operation.
12:31Senator, the election will start soon.
12:33You said that when we interviewed you, this is one of your priorities.
12:38How will you address the lack of supplies like books, textbooks, classrooms and teachers as well?
12:47The good thing is that a lot of people want to help in that aspect.
12:52Many in the private sector want to donate classrooms.
12:57Many government agencies want to help in constructing classrooms
13:04because they know that we have a so-called classroom backlog.
13:08When it comes to textbooks or books, we will see how we can increase the procurement of our important supplies to our students.
13:24Because the Department of Education had a hard time bidding in the past years, since 2018,
13:33the budget given by the legislative branch or the Congress is not enough.
13:39That will be our focus so that we can quickly prepare and purchase our textbooks.
13:46We also need to improve the delivery to our schools.
13:52Senator, you also mentioned that you are supportive of additional allowances for teachers.
13:57How can we ensure that they will receive it?
14:01Yes. Ever since we became a member of the Congress and the Senate,
14:05we have been authoring proposals to increase the salaries of our teachers and other government officials.
14:13I know that government agencies are studying this issue because of the number of teachers and government officials working in our public schools.
14:26We need a lot of money for this.
14:29But I'm confident, under the Marcos administration, we will have an increase in the salaries of our teachers.
14:35All right Senator. We have a few more questions online.
14:39We are waiting for you. Susan Enriquez will read them out.
14:43Senator, good morning.
14:46Good morning, Susan.
14:47Senator, Rhyme asked...
14:50Blight. Blit.
14:52She said, can the K-12 be removed?
14:55It's so painful because the kids will be bullied for a long period of time in K-12.
15:02Senator. Secretary.
15:05The K-12 is a law. While it's a law, we are obligated to follow the K-12 curriculum for 12 years, from kindergarten to grade 12.
15:18What happened is, there were a few implementation of K-12 in the past.
15:24The promise of getting a job, our K-12 or senior high school graduates, is not yet a reality.
15:35That's why we need to improve the curriculum of grade 11 and grade 12.
15:43What they are teaching there are those who can provide a job for them.
15:48Aside from their personal growth, there's their professional growth and potential to get a job.
15:56At the same time, on the side of the companies, on the side of the employees, they should hire K-12 graduates.
16:08That's what they're talking about.
16:10In the education sector, we will produce the best graduates.
16:16But on the part of the employer sector, we will accept if the job description is simple and the job is not complicated.
16:28There should be a sufficient number of K-12 graduates.
16:33Okay. Thank you very much incoming Deputy Secretary-Senator Sonny Angara. Good morning to you.
16:40Thank you very much. Good morning Marisa.
16:46Historic win is the opening game of the Philippines in the FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament.
16:55The Philippines won the World No. 6 in Latvia in their home court with a score of 89-80.
17:02That was the first time the Philippines won against a European team in the official FIBA competition since 1960.
17:11Player of the game with 26 points is Justin Brownlee.
17:14Kai Soto has 18 points.
17:17If they win the game against Team Georgia, they will be able to enter the semifinals.
17:29The scenes in the heart of the murder mystery drama, Widow's War, are getting intense because of the new character.
17:37Is there a secret?
17:39You don't have a loved one?
17:42Menaldrato?

17:57Paco's mother, played by Rafael Rosel.
18:00Sam's boyfriend, played by Bea Alonzo.
18:04The scenes between Aurora and Sam are getting intense.
18:07Because Aurora did not vote for Sam to be the future son-in-law.
18:11In fact, she investigated Sam's family background.
18:17Sam will not listen to his future mother-in-law.
18:21Galvan Palacios, played by Tonton Gutierrez, was also introduced as Paco's father.

19:27Congrats in advance, guys!
19:29Now that school supplies are about to arrive,
19:31let's find out how much are the school supplies in Divisoria, Manila.
19:34And we have live news.
19:36It's EJ Gomez.
19:38EJ.
19:43Ivan, it's only been three weeks since the school supplies arrived.
19:46It's time to start buying school supplies.
19:50We visited some stores here in Divisoria to find out the prices of school supplies.
19:59Their store, Juzef,
20:01sold school supplies last week.
20:04This is how their store will look like until the second week of August.
20:08For now, they're just buying a few.
20:11We're just buying a few.
20:13Most of the time, we're waiting for a list to be written by the teachers.
20:19So far, we're just buying for our parents,
20:22especially for our mothers.
20:24We're just buying pencils, ballpoint pens, and crayons.
20:32The cheapest notebook is P20.
20:35If it's a wholesale, it's P10.
20:37The price is P180.
20:39You can save P70.
20:41The pad paper is also P20 to P35.
20:45The cheapest pencil is P10.
20:47If a box contains 20 pieces,
20:50you can buy it for P180.
20:52There's a savings of P20.
20:54The price of the ballpoint pen is from P10 to P20 per piece.
20:59While a box of 8-piece crayons can be bought for P50.
21:03The 24-piece crayons are P120.
21:07There's also an eraser, ruler, pencil case, bag,
21:11and any other school supplies that can be bought here in Divisoria.
21:16According to Sara,
21:18Maybe within 2 weeks, we'll increase the price.
21:23That's what we're doing.
21:25That's what we're doing.
21:26We're advising our parents that if possible,
21:29it's better for them to buy early
21:32while we're still selling at a low price.
21:35According to the price guide issued by the Trade Department,
21:38almost 30 school supply items have a high price.
21:43That's why Beth is the only one who can afford to buy school supplies for her son who's in Grade 1.
21:48I'll just buy school supplies like notebook, paper, eraser, pencil, pencil case, and other things.
21:55I'll buy them wholesale so I can save money.
22:05Ivan, according to our conversation,
22:08their stock is enough.
22:12For those who will buy,
22:13remember to check the label of the school supplies.
22:17It should have the name and address of the manufacturer or importer.
22:24That's the first news from Divisoria, Manila.
