00:00Good morning. Here are the first news brought to you by GMA Integrated News.
00:18The Department of Budget and Management will now issue the more than Php 27 billion Health Emergency Allowance
00:25that will not be given to healthcare workers in response to the COVID-19 pandemic
00:30for the more than Php 5 million Validated Health Emergency Allowance
00:34and more than Php 4,000 COVID-19 Sickness and Death Compensation Claims of Healthcare and Non-Healthcare Workers.
00:41As of now, more than Php 91 billion has been issued by the DBM for the Public Health Emergency Benefits
00:47and Allowances for the Benefit of Healthcare Workers from 2021 to 2023.
00:55The Department of Agriculture will also launch the Php 29 Project Trial.
01:00It aims to sell high-quality rice in some Kadiwa Stores for Php 29 per kilo every Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
01:09Ten Kadiwa Centers in Metro Manila and Bulacan will participate in the program.
01:14According to the DA, it is estimated that Php 67,000 metric tons of rice will be needed for the full implementation of the program.
01:24For those who are looking for food this morning, let's price-check some types of fish and vegetables in some markets in Metro Manila.
01:31Based on the price monitoring of the Department of Agriculture,
01:34Php 240 per kilo of bangus, Php 160 per kilo of tilapia and Php 280 per kilo of galunggong.
01:42For vegetables, Php 80 per kilo of sayote,
01:46Php 160 per kilo of carrots and string beans,
01:50Php 150 per kilo of bitter melon,
01:53Php 80 per kilo of squash,
01:57Php 120 per kilo of eggplant,
02:00and Php 170 per kilo of tomatoes.
02:04Alok has already allocated more than Php 1 million for information related to the missing pageant contestant and his Israeli boyfriend in Pampanga.
02:12Pampanga Provincial Government will give Php 1 million to look for Geneva Lopez and his boyfriend Ichek Cohen.
02:21Php 150,000 will be allocated to the town of Lopez from Santo Tomas LGU.
02:27Cohen's family was the first to allocate Php 250,000.
02:31Aside from the Php 100,000 from the LGU of Angeli City where the two were last seen.
02:38According to the PNP Criminal Investigation and Detection Group, they are targeting seven persons of interest.
02:44It is premature to consider the boyfriend and a former police officer of Angeli City as persons of interest
02:50who served as middlemen in the land of lovers.
02:54The CIDG is looking at all possible angles of the case.
02:58Fingerprints are also being examined from the vehicle to find out the identity of the people who used it.
03:05As of now, there is no indication that the two are dead or missing.
03:12It is still confusing because as of now, we have not seen a body or anything that can confirm if they are alive or dead.
03:24But we are hoping that they are alive.
03:29The strengthening of the Philippine-Japan alliance amid the tensions in the West Philippine Sea.
03:36It aims to maintain peace and security in the region and not in any country.
03:42J.P. Soriano has the first news.
03:47On the 70th anniversary of the Japan Self-Defense Forces or JSDF,
03:53one of the countries with the strongest alliance is the Philippines.
03:57AFP Chief of Staff General Romeo Browner said that the Philippine soldiers and the military of Japan have one important goal.
04:08The Armed Forces of the Philippines and the Japan Self-Defense Forces are bound by a common goal.
04:18To uphold peace and security both within our borders and across the globe.
04:26This shared commitment is more important now than ever as we navigate an increasingly complex and dynamic security landscape.
04:37The AFP chief said this after saying that the AFP has already given recommendations to President Bongbong Marcos
04:44on how to carry out the next rotation and resupply missions to BRP Sierra Madre in Ayungin Shoal.
04:55According to Browner, they will no longer allow the Chinese Coast Guard to be bullied.
05:00But they will fight fairly.
05:03The Philippines' commitment to the rights of the West Philippine Sea, which was strengthened by the 2016 Arbitral Ruling,
05:10was recognized by the Japanese Ambassador to the Philippines, Endo Kazuya.
05:16I would like to commend the Philippines' firm stance in championing a maritime order based on the rule of law.
05:24Because they are an ally of the Philippines, it is important for the Philippine soldiers to help.
05:29It is a big deal if their version of the Visiting Forces Agreement or VFA, Reciprocal Access Agreement or RAA, is already signed.
05:39It was not approved in China, but Japan reiterated that they are following China's aggressive actions in the West Philippine Sea.
05:49Japan is concerned by unlawful maritime claims and steadfastly opposes the dangerous and coercive use of Coast Guard and Maritime Militia vessels in the South China Sea.
06:02This statement was first made by China, because it is aware of Japan's actions and is concerned about tensions in the region.
06:13It is only natural for Japan to express serious concern if and when China's behavior in the South China Sea is dangerous and aggressive.
06:26The Chinese Embassy in the Philippines has yet to respond to the statement of the Japanese Embassy.
06:31But the Chinese Embassy in the Philippines has already said that the Philippines and China have reached an agreement to continue the peaceful talks
06:41to reach an agreement and avoid trouble in the Aegean Sea and the West Philippine Sea.
06:47On Monday, a 2-plus-2 meeting will be held between the foreign affairs and defense ministers of Japan and the Philippines.
06:55It will discuss the RAA and the additional defense and security equipment that Japan will provide to the Philippines under the Official Security Assistance or OSA.
07:08Rest assured, the Philippine government remains that we will work to expand and forge stronger partnerships with Japan to continually give rise to a region living and thriving in peace and prosperity.
07:23This is the first news, J.P. Soriano for GMA Integrated News.
07:30The Armed Forces of the Philippines in China is being fined 60 million pesos.
07:35This is followed by the arrest of the Chinese Coast Guard by the Philippine Navy on June 17.
07:42It is also possible for China to stop the expenses of the operation of the soldiers who were cut by the Chinese military.
07:46The AFP re-issued the seven guns that were seized by the CCP.
07:50IKAFP Chief of Staff Romeo Browner Jr. said that China's actions are illegal.
07:55That's why they should be punished.
07:57The Chinese Foreign Ministry said that the CCP just made a move to protect the sovereignty of China.
08:04They legalized the resupply mission of the Philippines to Iungin Shoal.
08:08The so-called shoal is inside the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines.
08:13To prevent what happened on June 17, the AFP has made adjustments for the protection of the Filipino soldiers.
08:22We will not allow them to do that to us again.
08:27That's not allowed.
08:29We are Filipinos.
08:31Rules of engagement.
08:33That's what we are following.
08:35We will apply the same level of force that would allow us to defend ourselves.
08:42We will fight with justice.
08:45That's all I can say.
08:46In the rain, the number of devotees in Quiapo Church still increased on the first Friday of July.
08:51That's the first live news of Jomer Apresto.
08:55Jomer.
09:00Susan, good morning.
09:01For now, the rain has stopped here in Quiapo Church and the number of devotees continued to increase on the first Friday of the month.
09:09It is not unusual for the devotees of Itim na Nazareno to experience the rain on the first Friday of July.
09:17In fact, the number of devotees who went to Quiapo Church this morning still increased and the rain was a blessing.
09:24Senior citizen, Mr. Rodel, came from Pateros and went to Quiapo Church alone.
09:30He was struck down in 2014.
09:33It's okay for me. I'm used to it.
09:35It's okay for me. I'm used to it.
09:38Nothing is impossible for me.
09:40Marilyn and Jojo, who came from Quezon City, also went to Quiapo Church.
09:46Jojo is an OFW in Saudi and will leave the country on the 10th of July.
09:51I hope that the whole family will be fine and have good health.
09:56I hope that the whole family will be fine and have good health.
10:00I hope that the whole family will be fine and have good health.
10:06In the sermon of Reverend Father Robert Arellano, he said that the love of Jesus Nazareno is for all,
10:13not only for the good but also for the sins.
10:16A sin that repents is special in the heart of God.
10:19Meanwhile, Susan, the devotees who will go to the Church of Quiapo today
10:26are being advised to bring umbrellas in case of rain,
10:29as well as to change the weather.
10:32From here in Manila, I'm Jomer Apresto for GMA Integrated News.
10:37From the non-stop competition and challenge, Bardagulan,
10:41at the concert stage, the runners of Running Man Philippines will bring joy.
10:44At the concert stage, the runners of Running Man Philippines will bring joy.
10:48That is for their special performance at the Run To You, the Running Man in Manila concert tomorrow and Saturday.
10:55The stars are proud of the opportunity to be the front act of OG Runners from South Korea.
11:01That's why they will broadcast the OPM and PPOP production number.
11:05This weekend, you can also watch the Running Man Philippines episodes
11:08with OG Runner Haha and Sangre Tierra Pianca Omaly.
11:12The Supreme Court has petitioned several groups of farmers
11:16to stop the order to lower the tariff on imported rice and other products,
11:21especially Executive Order No. 62 to lower the price of rice.
11:25That's why the tariff on imported rice was lowered by 15 percent from the previous 35 percent.
11:31The petitioners are determined that the agricultural industry in the country will die if this continues.
11:36The Senate questioned why there was no hearing or consultation of the Tariff Commission regarding the lowering of the tariff.
11:44If a senator can lower the tariff whenever there's no tariff,
11:48or if the rice price is low, instead of 2024 to 2028.
11:52The Tariff Commission's answer is that they will review the Executive Order No. 62 every four months
11:57and they can also petition to change the tariff.
11:59According to the NEDA, the respondents to the petition will be answered by the Solicitor General
12:05if they receive a copy of the petition.
12:08The Department of Agriculture is concerned that the decision of the importers and the stocks of rice in the country
12:15may be affected if the EO62 is stopped.
12:18Now that it's raining, there are more cases of dengue in the country.
12:21In Talisay, Cebu, their missing cat and anti-dengue caravan
12:26is on its way to open the doors to the sick.
12:31Live from Cebu, Femarie Dumabok of GMA Regional TV has the first news.
12:37Maris, the local government of Talisay will conduct missing operations in schools
12:44a few days before the start of school this year.
12:48Anti-Dengue Caravan
12:51Anti-Dengue Caravan will be conducted monthly in the barangays where dengue cases are reported in Talisay City.
12:58According to Vice Mayor Choi Eznar,
13:00in the list of the Regional Epidemiology and Surveillance Unit or RESU-7 of the Department of Health,
13:0633 cases of dengue are reported in Talisay City from January to March.
13:11The target of the Committee on Health and Talisay City Health Office is to reduce the number of dengue cases in the city by 2024.
13:19In 2023, 386 cases were reported in Talisay City.
13:25The local government will focus on cleaning the surroundings, especially in schools.
13:30Missing operations will be conducted before the start of school on July 29.
13:34Most of the time, there are many children in the school.
13:39The school is very supportive of them.
13:43We are trying to clean their surroundings.
13:47Based on the City Health Office's data,
13:50dengue cases are increasing during the rainy season.
13:59Maris, according to the local government,
14:02Maris, according to the Talisay City Health Office,
14:05their office is open to receive requests for missing operations.
14:11But they prioritize the places where dengue cases are reported.
14:16Maris?
14:17Thank you very much, Fem. Marie Dumabok of GMA Regional TV.
14:21Suspended Mayor Alice Guo cannot be a state witness in the investigation of the pogos in the country,
14:27according to Senator Sherwin Gatchalian.
14:29In the midst of the intrigue over the presence of two Alice Guo,
14:33this has no effect on the possible cases of the mayor because of his responsibility
14:38in the illegal operation of the pogos in Bambantarlac,
14:41which was previously denied by the mayor.
14:44That's the first news of Sandra Aguinaldo.
14:48Many are intrigued by the identity of the woman named and birthday of Mayor Alice Guo,
14:55but she has a different face.
14:56According to Senator Sherwin Gatchalian,
14:59this has no effect on the possible cases of the mayor because of his responsibility
15:06in the operation of the pogos of Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators.
15:11And they say that he is lying about his identity.
15:15Gatchalian reminds that in the record of the Philippine Statistics Authority,
15:19there is only one Alice Guo.
15:22Because she doesn't have a birth certificate,
15:23I don't know if she just went there and got an NBI clearance.
15:30So there should be an investigation.
15:32But based on birth certificate, there is only one Alice Guo.
15:35This is Mayor Alice Guo of Bambantarlac.
15:38Gatchalian did not deny that the real identity of Alice Guo of Quezon City was investigated by the NBI.
15:45But what Gatchalian is waiting for from the NBI
15:48is what will come out of the fingerprint matching of Guo's siblings.
15:54The senator who is based on the investigation of the NBI announced
15:58that the sister of the mayor, Wesley Guo, is the Chinese national, Guo Shandian.
16:05Guo has two more siblings.
16:07According to Gatchalian, this strengthens the evidence that Mayor Guo is not Filipino.
16:11Gatchalian is showing that Guo's family abused the process of late registration of birth in the Philippines.
16:21And how many times did he do it?
16:25We saw that one family got four late registrations.
16:29What I am afraid of is that they are using this to buy land.
16:36And we are hearing a lot now that buying land from foreigners, Chinese in particular,
16:44is really scary to Palawan, to Cagayan, to Isabela.
16:49Gatchalian is calling on the PSA to investigate the data of the late registration of birth in the country.
16:56Senator Riza Ontiveros said that if the sister of Mayor Alice Guo is known,
17:02she could also be involved in the crimes committed against Mayor Guo.
17:08They should also investigate the possible involvement of the family and associates of the mayor.
17:14Guo and his family were invited for the next hearing,
17:18but according to Guo's lawyer, there is no confirmation that they will arrive.
17:23When I talked to him, he was crying like he has anxiety depression.
17:27I don't know if he will be able to attend or not. He needs medical attention.
17:32Gatchalian first asked Mayor Guo to talk about what he knows about Pogo in Bamban and Porak
17:39to ease his responsibility.
17:42But Gatchalian clarified that Guo cannot be a state witness in the investigation of Pogo
17:49because he is not the least guilty.
17:51And he is in Centro Parao of Hongsheng Gaming Corporation that operated in Bamban-Pogo Hub.
17:58Guo's lawyer said that he only knows a limited amount about Pogo.
18:04If Mayor Alice has other information, I will advise her to tell the whole truth.
18:09But I cannot force her. That's all she knows.
18:14This is the first news. Sandra Aguinaldo for JMA Information.
18:18Now, Madam Mayor, the members of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program or 4Ps are buying, studying, and adding
18:28or according to the inflation, the benefits of the members of the Pantawid Familyang Pilipino Program or 4Ps.
18:31This is the first news. Dano Tincunco.
18:34Annalyn has been enrolled in the Pantawid Familyang Pilipino Program or 4Ps for more than a year.
18:40The 4Ps are said to be a big help to her family, especially now that she has a child in elementary and senior high school.
18:46She is five months pregnant.
18:48We were able to pay out last year.
18:50It's a big help because it was a big downfall.
18:53I paid my debts.
18:55Of course, we cannot avoid our debts because of the poverty here.
19:01It's a big help that I was able to pay my debts.
19:06But Annalyn admitted that even though there are 4Ps, they are still buying.
19:10Buying is very expensive now, especially rice.
19:13Rice is very expensive now.
19:16Before, we used to buy rice for P200.
19:19Now, we have P5K.
19:21It's only P3K.
19:23Everything we buy is expensive.
19:25What do you need to do as a couple to pay off your debts?
19:31My husband works as a cash advance in their office.
19:35Sometimes, I borrow P5-6 so that we can meet our needs.
19:40P5-6 is enough for our daily needs.
19:44In order to increase the price of goods,
19:47the DSWD is studying the possible adjustments to the grants given to 4Ps beneficiaries.
19:52The DSWD and the National Economic Development Authority are also studying
19:57how much or how many percent the possible increase is.
20:01The Department of Social Welfare and Development helped the National Economic and Development Authority
20:06to present the proposed adjustments to the cash grants.
20:11But this is for the approval of the President and our economic managers.
20:18For now, we're still finalizing the adjustments to the grants
20:25since this will require a sufficient amount of funds.
20:28If their recommendation is approved, it is possible for this to be implemented in 2026.
20:33At the same time, the DSWD is also studying the possibility of an amendment to the 4Ps law
20:38that will establish the mechanism of automatic adjustments to 4Ps grants
20:42depending on the rate of inflation or the speed of buying.
20:46At present, the 4Ps beneficiaries receive a grant of P300 to P700
20:52depending on the rate of the school of the child,
20:54plus a P750 health grant and a P600 monthly rise allowance.
20:59For those who are pregnant and have just given birth,
21:02the DSWD has just approved an increase in the health grant they are receiving.
21:07The DSWD has always made it clear that the 4Ps beneficiaries who receive up to P4.4 million
21:14are not doled out, but are paid according to their needs.
21:18There are also conditions such as the maintenance of the school of the child
21:21and if they eat properly.
21:24This is the first news.
21:26Dano Tincunco for GMA Integrated News.
21:30Senator Nancy Binay is studying the issue of filing an ethics complaint
21:35against Senator Alan Peter Cayetano,
21:37based on their response to the construction of the new Senate building.
21:41We have first news from Ma'am Gonzalez.
21:46You will tell the media that this has something to do with Taguig and Makati.
21:51You will say that someone is behind you.
21:53But did I say that Alan Peter Cayetano is behind me?
21:56Didn't they say that if you react like that, you might be guilty?
22:01Ma'am, your name is ludicrous.
22:03It's shameful.
22:05After a heated discussion in the Senate about the construction of the new Senate building,
22:10Thank you, Mr. Chair.
22:12Senator Nancy Binay walked out.
22:15She will study the issue of filing an ethics complaint
22:18against the Senate Accounts Committee Chair, Senator Alan Peter Cayetano.
22:22Binay has not yet read the entire transcript of the hearing
22:26and her legal team is still studying it.
22:28But Binay said that it's okay even if Cayetano did not ask for a dispensary
22:32where he will make it clear in the hearing that it's not the will of a senator.
22:37GMA Integrated News is still trying to get the signature of Senator Cayetano.
22:41Binay and Cayetano won 23 billion pesos,
22:46which is the total value of the new Senate building,
22:48which was first said by Senate President Chase Escudero.
22:51Cayetano said that it came from the Senate Coordinating Staff
22:54that was formerly owned by Binay,
22:56the total value of 21.7 billion pesos for the new Senate building.
23:00If the purchase of land worth more than 1.6 billion pesos is included,
23:05it will amount to more than 23 billion pesos.
23:08But Binay said that the purchase of land is not included in what DPWH is doing.
23:14In the hearing,
23:16Department of Public Works and Highways Senior Usec Emil Sadain was interviewed
23:20because of what he said in an interview with GMA Integrated News.
23:23Here, Sadain said that the cost of construction will not reach 23 billion pesos.
23:29There is still 5.7 billion pesos under review for Phase 3,
23:34and if the amount already funded and the one being reviewed is included,
23:37the new Senate building is worth 16.8 billion pesos.
23:41But Cayetano showed the signature of DPWH to former Accounts Committee Chair Binay.
23:46You said that it will not reach 23 billion pesos.
23:49In the same letter that came from you, 23 billion pesos is correct.
23:53Here is the letter. Here is the signature and copy-purnished.
23:58What you said is 5.7 billion pesos.
24:01Actually, what you proposed to us when bidding is 8.5 billion pesos.
24:04When negotiated, it's 7.3 billion pesos.
24:07So what you gave is wrong, sir.
24:09It's wrong, Mr. Chair.
24:11So I think you owe an apology to the Senate.
24:13I stand corrected, Mr. Chair, and we seek apology for that figure.
24:17On your documentation, there's no such thing as 23 billion for DPWH.
24:24So I think you don't need to apologize.
24:29In the end, DPWH's answer is that there's really no 23 billion pesos in their documents.
24:35One of Cayetano's questions is the facade of the new Senate building,
24:39which is not yet starting because construction is still in Phase 3.
24:43Shouldn't it be included in the shell and core of the building?
24:46which is being built by Hillmarks Construction Corporation.
24:49All the buildings have a facade.
24:51What I know is that they included it in the shell and core, not in the fit-out.
24:54The shell refers to the overall structural frame,
24:57including foundation system, exterior walls, floor slab, and roof decks,
25:01complete with common areas, staircases, elevator shaft.
25:04Facade is the exterior wall.
25:06So you mean you didn't get a quote from Hillmarks for the facade?
25:10They have a quotation, I think 1.6 for the facade.
25:14They didn't submit 1.6.
25:16Other companies submitted 1.6.
25:18You tell me the truth here.
25:20If not, I will hold you in contempt.
25:22Don't fool us here.
25:24This is just a clarification.
25:26At the beginning, Hillmarks told you that they can do it.
25:30And how much.
25:32That's why I told you to submit all the documents.
25:34But you didn't submit everything.
25:36You didn't submit your internal documents.
25:38In the estimated cost of Phase 3 of the construction,
25:41the building's facade will reach more than 1.6 billion pesos.
25:45But according to Cayetano,
25:47there is another option of 900 million pesos for the facade.
25:51I'm not saying anything wrong or irregular here.
25:54What I'm saying is, tell us everything.
25:57Because before the Senate President,
26:00before the majority,
26:02I will represent them.
26:04DPWH did not respond here
26:05because there are other issues that were already asked by Cayetano.
26:09In an interview with Balitang Halim,
26:11Binay said that she can explain everything,
26:14but she refused to talk to Cayetano,
26:17to Senator Ping Lackson,
26:19who used to be the chairman of the Committee on Accounts.
26:21I think the best person to explain to him is Senator Lackson.
26:26That's why we approached Senator Lackson.
26:29If possible, the three of us can talk.
26:31He sent out a message to Senator Alan.
26:33The mere fact that he declined the invite of Senator Lackson,
26:37for the three of us to talk,
26:39I hope he was able to explain where those numbers came from.
26:44We asked Cayetano for an explanation,
26:47but he did not respond.
26:49In the next hearing,
26:51the contractor of the project,
26:53Hillmarks Construction Corporation,
26:55will be called.
26:57GMI Integrated News has been working for a few weeks
26:59to get Hillmarks' opinion on this.
27:01This is the first news.
27:03In a survey of social weather stations,
27:06they were asked if the quality of life of some people
27:09has improved in the past 12 months.
27:11Let's find out on Street Hit It,
27:13by Bam Alegre.
27:15Bam.
27:19Good morning.
27:21This year's halftime break is over,
27:23and the second half will start this July.
27:25How was the first half of this year?
27:28Did it improve?
27:30Or was it the same?
27:31Same, same.
27:33This is what was found in a survey.
27:35How was their opinion
27:37on the quality of life here in Street Hit It?
27:45Rodel Alfuente has been working for 30 years
27:48at Jario Sa Cubao.
27:50Technology has changed a lot,
27:52so almost no one buys from him.
27:54It's all internet now,
27:56but until now,
27:58nothing has changed in his quality of life.
27:59Our lives are okay.
28:01Jaron Garcia, a pandesal,
28:03has the same sentiment.
28:05He says he can do it to make ends meet.
28:07Nothing has changed.
28:09I'm exhausted every day.
28:11Just like our guests,
28:1345% of those who responded to a survey
28:15said that nothing has changed
28:17in their lives
28:19in the past year.
28:2130% said that their quality of life
28:23has improved,
28:25and 25% said that it's still improving.
28:28The Social Weather Station
28:30conducted a survey last March
28:32to find out their quality of life
28:34among more than 1,000 respondents
28:36in the past 12 months.
28:38Let's fast forward to the future.
28:40Let's find out how many responded
28:42since the second half of 2024 has just begun.
28:44Tricycle driver Ricky Ayroso
28:46feels the high price of gasoline
28:48and the weakening of the roadway.
28:50There's still a lot of change.
28:52It's getting worse.
28:54We're still traveling,
28:55but I don't have a vehicle.
28:57I don't have a vehicle.
28:59Vendor Helen Yabore
29:01doesn't seem excited for the future.
29:03It's a waste.
29:06This is just a house payment.
29:14This quality of life survey
29:16was conducted last March.
29:181,500 respondents,
29:20600 in Metro Manila,
29:22300 in Balans, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao,
29:23and a margin of error
29:25of plus-minus 2.5%.
29:27Hit it!
29:29From Cubao, Quezon City,
29:31I'm Malegre for GMA Integrated News.
29:37Overwhelming support and love
29:39were received by
29:41That Kind of Love,
29:43by First Film Together,
29:45Ninapulang Araw stars
29:47Barbi Forteza and David Lecauco.
29:49In the premiere night,
29:51team BARDA was with
29:53fans and celebrities.
29:55Sparkle Vice President
29:57Joy Marcelo was also there.
29:59And of course,
30:01BARDA's love for
30:03That Kind of Love was on another level
30:05because feels can be k-drama.
30:07In South Korea,
30:09some scenes were shot in the movie.
30:11From Ginoong Fidel and Binibining Clay,
30:13say hello to Camila and Adam,
30:15the stars of the movie.
30:18We're both fans of romance films.
30:21So, our attack in this movie is very...
30:26I'd like to think it's a very Korean drama vibe,
30:32very mysterious,
30:34reserved in his own way.
30:36But you know,
30:38when it comes to his beloved woman,
30:40he's very generous,
30:42he's very caring,
30:44he's very sweet.
30:46I just hope that the people
30:48who supported us in Maria Clara,
30:49they will support us also here in this movie.
30:54I'm sure that they will get excited.
