06:03His wife, Colleen Garcia, and their son, Amari, were also inspired by Team Dilip.
06:11More than two weeks before the school starts,
06:13let's see how the school supplies and uniforms in Batangas are selling.
06:17Here's the first live news of Denise Avan, GMA Regional TV.
06:21Denise.
06:23Ivan, the price of some school uniforms in some stores here in Batangas City
06:28has gone up.
06:29The sales are still strong, according to some sellers.
06:36Ms. Lucena is looking for a blouse for her grandson's school uniform.
06:40She plans to buy four, but after choosing and apologizing,
06:45she only bought one.
06:48She will first try if it will fit her grandson before buying another one.
07:02According to some sellers, the price of ready-made school uniforms has gone up by 5 pesos
07:06compared to last year.
07:08This is because of the increase in the price of fabric.
07:11The blouse and polo are for 150 to 170 pesos each piece, depending on the size.
07:18The skirt is for 250 to 350 pesos.
07:22The pants are for 380 to 400 pesos, while the jogging pants are for 150 pesos.
07:29The shorts are for 150 to 170 pesos, and the white T-shirt is for 90 to 100 pesos.
07:36Sales are strong a few weeks before the school starts on July 29.
07:41It's really strong, to the point that it should be full-stack.
07:45It means that our size is from size 6 to 5X.
07:49Polo and blouse.
07:51For those who have a large budget and want to be sure that the uniform they will wear fits them,
07:56they can buy a set for 700 to 1,300 pesos, depending on the type of fabric.
08:05In Lipa City, the display of school uniforms in some stores is already full.
08:10There are also old stocks that can be bought, which is why these are cheaper.
08:14But most of them are new items from Manila.
08:17Some were bought earlier.
08:19It's like we don't have the same amount of money when buying, and we don't have much to choose from.
08:24Even if it's more than 8 pesos, it's still a lot if you buy a lot.
08:31It's still a lot to save.
08:33Based on the price monitoring of DTI in some stores in Calabarzon,
08:37the price of a notebook varies from 15 pesos to 45 pesos, depending on the type.
08:4312 pesos to 44 pesos for a pad paper.
08:4610.50 pesos for one to 32 pesos.
08:493 pesos to 24 pesos for a ball pen.
08:52For crayons, 12 pesos to 129 pesos.
08:56It's possible that the price of some items will increase as the school starts on July 29.
09:02Hopefully, the consumers will still be able to buy the old stocks that are in the old prices.
09:08So, they should just wait.
09:10If they already have a budget, they can already buy.
09:21Ivan, in the next few days or weeks,
09:23there will be a surprise or random inspection of the Department of Trade and Industry or DTI
09:28in some school supply stores here in Batangas.
09:31Ivan?
09:32Thank you very much.
09:33Denisse Abante of GMA Regional TV.
09:38Being a designated survivor.
09:40This is the reason why Vice President Sara Duterte
09:43will not attend the State of the Nation address of the President on July 22.
09:55No. No, I will not attend the SORNA.
09:58I am appointing myself as the designated survivor.
10:17We cannot consider it as a threat.
10:20Personally, I think it's just a joke.
10:26But of course, the reaction of our security officials might be different, right?
10:32The House Secretary General said that this is the first time that a Vice President will not attend a SORNA by a President.
10:40House Speaker Martin Romualdez said that it is the decision of a public official if he will attend a SORNA or not.
10:46But the SORNA is important because this is an opportunity for the Filipinos to show their unity as leaders.
10:52Retired Supreme Court Associate Justice Vicente Mendoza said that there is no prohibition on the designated survivor in our Constitution.
11:00What is clear is that the Vice President will be replaced by the President if he dies,
11:05dies or is removed from his position or cannot fulfill his duties.
11:11In our Constitution, the Senate President and the House Speaker will follow the line of succession of the President.
11:19In America, there is a designated survivor or official who is not allowed to attend important meetings,
11:25where the President is, and others are in the line of succession.
11:29In case of an attack, there will be a temporary President.
11:34The Court of Appeals has now freezed the arrears of suspended Bambang Tarlac Mayor Alice Huo and other members of the POGO.
11:42The Senate heard the possible connection to the POGO of former Presidential Economic Advisor Michael Yang
11:49and other members of the Parliament on the issue of the COVID-19 pandemic.
11:54We have first news, Rafit Timah.
11:56Good noon everyone. I am Jessa Wai Mendoza, a lieutenant of the Philippine Navy.
12:03A soldier faced with the hearing of the Senate of the first illegal POGO.
12:07What is their connection? Lieutenant Jessa Mendoza.
12:11It appears that Mendoza was listed as an incorporator in almost 200 companies.
12:15But Mendoza herself said that it is not true.
12:18My name, taxpayer identification number and signature were used to incorporate no less than 193 corporations.
12:32Of the said number, more than half or around 102 have foreign-sounding names.
12:39I was not aware of the existence of any of these corporations.
12:44She said that her teen ID was compromised when her cousin borrowed it in 2016 for the construction of a travel agency that did not open.
12:54My name was used initially in the year 2017, ma'am.
12:58So the year after you borrowed your ID?
13:02Yes, your honor.
13:03Until she started receiving letters of attorney for a year.
13:07Mendoza cried. She was afraid of the effects of the upcoming identity theft.
13:13I'm of course concerned that the possible criminal record that my situation will expose me to might hinder my pursuit to serve the nation and negatively affect my career progression.
13:27I'm really sorry.
13:30Mendoza is said to be supported by the Philippine Navy and she strives to keep her name clean.
13:35Senator Riza Ontiveros accused Mendoza of being listed as an incorporator in the Yangtze River Group.
13:41It was owned by Michael Yang, presidential economic advisor of the previous administration,
13:46who was affected by the overpriced COVID supplies that the government bought in the form of COVID pandemic.
13:52Did you meet Lieutenant Jessa Michael Yang anytime?
13:57No, your honor. I don't know him. We don't have any engagement or transactions with Michael Yang, your honor.
14:06Yang's connection to a Gerard Cruz, an incorporator of BrickHearts Technologies that has a canceled POGO license in Cavite, was also raised.
14:14There are several documents of BrickHearts that were found at the POGO raid in Bambantarlac.
14:19Cruz's name was also mentioned in the Senate investigation on Pharmalee.
14:23He is the corporate secretary of Pharmalee Biological Company and the Philippine Fulwin Group of Companies,
14:29where President Yang is the president.
14:31Ontiveros said that Pharmalee Group is behind the POGOs because they have the same personalities.
14:37Now, the connection between Gerard Cruz and Michael Yang has been raised.
14:43Where will we bring evidence if this time around, the dotted lines will be connected to Duterte?
14:51According to PAG-COR, their name is on their radar but...
14:54For now, we cannot say any information about that connection with higher officials.
15:02Ontiveros thinks that Yang is a possible mastermind.
15:04He played a big role in the Pharmalee scam. If Pharmalee Group is also involved in POGO, it is possible that he also has a big role in this.
15:18Yang denies that he is involved in POGO. If he has evidence against him, it should be brought to light.
15:25You have to make a very clear connection about the illegal acts that a particular person is a part of.
15:34Not simply because he is in the corporation.
15:39In the case of suspended Bamban Mayor Alice Goh, who did not show up and did not attend the Senate hearings,
15:45the Anti-Money Laundering Council, or AMLOC, announced that the mayors' properties were being freezed by the Court of Appeals.
15:51Even Ziang Luang and Baoyang Lin, who are involved in human trafficking and fraudulent activities in POGO,
15:57has a bank account, real properties, and personal belongings such as luxury cars and helicopters.
16:04On July 8, the AMLOC petitioned the court to freeze the properties.
16:08This is the first news. Rafi Tima for GMA Integrated News.
16:15Because of various issues related to POGO, PANCOR is banning POGO hubs or POGOs in big compounds.
16:22Before we go to the issue on POGO, we will talk to PANCOR Chairman Alejandro Tenco.
16:28Chairman, good morning to you. Welcome to the first news.
16:31Good morning. Good morning.
16:34Sir...
16:35Same to Ma'am Susan and Ma'am Marie.
16:38Yes. Good morning to you.
16:40Good morning.
16:42Apparently, you're making a distinction between the big POGOs and the small ones. Is that so?
16:48Please explain this closing or downsizing.
16:53Basically, what POGO hub means is a big land where there are many buildings or buildings.
17:07Okay.
17:08One example is Porak.
17:14Yes.
17:15As you can see, it is a big land with 46 buildings. That is called a hub.
17:23Okay.
17:24Although I will clarify that it has no license since 2023.
17:29Okay.
17:30But that is the big hub that we are referring to.
17:35So how many will be affected? How many will be affected by this new law?
17:40As of now, there is no hub that is stable. There is only one in Cavite.
17:47So it will be closed?
17:49It will be closed. When there was a problem with a hub in Clark Economic Zone in Pampanga, we closed it.
18:00If I'm not mistaken, that was in 2023.
18:07Okay.
18:09Sometime in May.
18:11So what we are saying is that as of now, Banban and Porak will not issue a license for a hub.
18:26Okay.
18:27Okay.
18:28So what can we issue? What can we issue?
18:32IGL. Call it IGL.
18:36Yes. IGL. IGL.
18:38Internet Gaming License.
18:40As of now, we are site or location specific.
18:45If you are qualified and can pass the PADCORP examinations,
18:52we have renewed IGLs that are in buildings or office buildings.
19:06Office buildings. Yes.
19:07Yes. Yes sir.
19:09So what we are limiting here, Chairman, correct me if I'm wrong,
19:14is the operating space of POGO, but the operations per se is continuous.
19:19Oh yes. Yes. As long as you have a legal license, there are only 43 so far.
19:29I explained to the Senate that during the administration of PADCORP,
19:35298 licenses were issued, including the license of service providers.
19:43As of now, there are only 40.
19:49Okay.
19:50If your new law prohibits hubs, how many Filipinos will be able to work in POGOs affected by this law?
19:58I believe none.
20:01Because there are no more POGO hubs.
20:05There are no more POGO hubs.
20:08The POGO hubs that were issued before, now in Cavite, they will be building specific.
20:17Okay.
20:18Okay.
20:19Chair, according to what you said to Attorney Harry Roque,
20:23he said that his client is the World Wind Corporation,
20:27the owner of the POGO building in Porac.
20:30Is it really the interest of World Wind that he brought to you?
20:34Let me explain. I also mentioned this to the Senate.
20:42What Secretary Roque told us is the case of a woman named Cassandra Leong.
20:57She works for the company Lucky South 99.
21:05Okay.
21:06Okay.
21:07World Wind was not mentioned in our conversation.
21:11What she mentioned is the problem of Cassandra Leong.
21:16Can you elaborate more on that sir?
21:19She said that she did not lobby POGO in the PAGCOR.
21:22What did you talk about in that appointment?
21:25She came to my office.
21:30She was with Cassandra Leong at that time.
21:37She explained that Cassandra Leong had a problem with a man named Dennis Conanan.
21:52Okay.
21:53She said that Cassandra Leong did not trust her monthly payment in the PAGCOR to Dennis Conanan.
22:10Okay.
22:11Unfortunately, she did not pay in the PAGCOR.
22:16When she received a letter from the PAGCOR that she is short of 500,000 dollars,
22:23the past due of the company owned by Cassandra Leong, which is Lucky South 99 or whatever,
22:38she had an arrears.
22:43Cassandra Leong said in front of Secretary Roque that Mr. Conanan will be charged with fines and penalties for what they paid.
22:56The PAGCOR did not receive anything.
22:59That's what we talked about chair.
23:01No mention of anything about the piece of land where POGO is located.
23:06That's not true.
23:07I can say that she's not pressuring us.
23:12She's talking about those events.
23:16Okay. At least it's clear.
23:21There was no mention about whirlwind.
23:24It's not included in your conversation.
23:28Yes. It's clear.
23:29Chairman, thank you for the time you gave in the first news.
23:33Thank you sir. Good morning.
23:34Thank you for the opportunity to give an explanation.
23:37Good morning to all of you and to all of your listening fans.
23:43We talked to PAGCOR Chairman Alejandro Tenco.
23:46We will try to get the statement of Atty. Harry Roque about what was mentioned about him.
23:54In the midst of many issues that the country is facing,
23:56Filipinos are still remaining positive in 2023, according to a study.
24:01Live from Pasay, we have the first news from Bea Pinlac.
24:04Bea, do you have a positive disposition in life and why?
24:12Oh my, Maris.
24:13It's always like that.
24:14Of course, it's because of our colleagues who also have positive vibes.
24:18But Filipinos are among the highest positive emotions in the world.
24:25Teacher Frances Panayrao Cayod left her two children in Romblon.
24:32Despite this and other problems that she is facing,
24:36she is still choosing to remain positive.
24:40I am a positive person.
24:41Whatever struggles that I encountered every day,
24:45that we cannot avoid, like financial,
24:49I overcame it by means of praying.
24:52Positive emotions are also what we are talking about.
24:57They think that emotions have a domino effect on the whole day of a person.
25:02Because that's how life is. We should always be positive.
25:06Of course, if you are always negative, it's like nothing will happen.
25:10And it's like you are more committed and your mental health is at risk.
25:14Life is a choice and happiness is a choice.
25:16So if you fall into a problem where you are always negative,
25:21no one will take care of your life.
25:23In the 2024 Gallup Global Emotions Report that was conducted in 2023,
25:2882% of Filipino respondents said that they experienced positive emotions
25:34one day before the survey was conducted.
25:37This is lower.
25:39For Mang Lamberto,
25:41it's challenging to remain positive in the midst of a difficult life.
25:46The expenses for the family,
25:50every day,
25:51the expenses we have to pay for the food,
25:56the house,
25:57the garbage,
25:58the laundry,
25:59the laundry,
26:00the sewing,
26:01the laundry,
26:02the laundry.
26:03The family expenses, that's how it is every day.
