NewsTranscript
00:00Five people were injured in the crash of five vehicles of a Payloader in Banguet, Abra.
00:06In the CCTV footage, you can see a tricycle, dump truck and motorcycle passing by Abra-Ilocos Sur Road.
00:14Later, the vehicles were stopped and then they were pushed back because of the colliding Payloader.
00:22The tricycle fell and collided.
00:25Its driver and the motorcycle rider were also trapped.
00:28Two vehicles collided before colliding with another vehicle.
00:33Three of the victims were taken to the hospital.
00:36The driver or the operator of the Payloader was held by the authorities.
00:41It was said that he was trying to avoid the vehicle so he changed lanes.
00:45But the police said that the operator was overtaking so he was facing an assault.
00:50The company owned by the Payloader is ready to help the victims.
00:56In the midst of the rising tensions in the West Philippine Sea,
01:01the upcoming law on how to regulate the maritime zones of the country was passed.
01:10J.P. Soriano was there.
01:16The President just signed the Philippine Maritime Zones Act.
01:23This is after the BCC approved the consolidated version of the bill.
01:29The Philippine Maritime Zones Act is the bill that regulates the maritime zones of the Philippines
01:37and the rights of the country within it.
01:40Our rights and boundaries are clear.
01:46It is clear that we have a law where we can sail and fish.
01:53But there are Chinese coastguards in Lubang and Mindoro.
01:58So this is clear as to where the boundaries are.
02:06This law is important in the midst of China's aggressive movements
02:11within the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines.
02:14It is also a way to strengthen the contents of the 2016 arbitral ruling
02:20that wastes nine-dash line of China that is anchoring the entire South China Sea
02:26including the West Philippine Sea.
02:28With that act, we're also now laying the groundwork for improving our law enforcement
02:37within these maritime zones.
02:39In the midst of this, the Philippines and China signed a new agreement
02:44called the Arrangement on Improving Philippine-China Maritime Communication Mechanisms.
02:49According to the DFA, the agreement will allow the opening of several communication channels
02:56between the Philippines and China on maritime issues.
03:01These include the leaders of the Philippines and China
03:07as well as the foreign ministry and coastguard of the two countries.
03:12For GMA Integrated News, J.P. Soriano, 24 Hours.
03:19The design of the Philippine Pavilion has been unveiled
03:22at the World Expo 2025 in Osaka, Japan.
03:26The so-called pavilion features 200 woven textiles from indigenous communities.
03:33According to Tourism Promotions Board Chief Operating Officer Maria Margarita Nograles,
03:38it is important for the Philippines to be present at the Expo
03:41to show the world the world-class talent and wisdom of the Filipinos.
03:50The flood in several places in Davao City reached to Dibdib.
03:53Maguindanao del Sur was flooded in State of Calamity due to the effect of the flood.
03:58The situation there, in the live coverage of GESTONY HUMAMIL by GMA Regional TV, GESTONY.
04:09Emil, yesterday, the flood reached Bewang.
04:13In many places in Datu Muntawal and Magalungan, Maguindanao del Sur,
04:18the flood reached many places in the so-called town,
04:21but the residents allowed the thick white water to enter their houses.
04:31Because it rained for several days in many places in Maguindanao del Sur,
04:35the province was submerged in State of Calamity.
04:38In the aerial view in Pagalungan, you can see the width of Pinsala.
04:42In some places, the flood reached, but the residents allowed the thick white water.
04:47It's a problem for us because it's hard to clean here.
04:51The residents also cleaned their houses.
04:54I've been washing for two days.
04:56Many people are drowning in the flood.
05:00It's flooding now.
05:03The R.H.U. of Datu Muntawal is thankful that they were able to save their belongings, especially their medicines.
05:08Here, they are temporarily catering to the patients in this hut next to the R.H.U.
05:13The residents slept on the road because of the flood.
05:16They are still sleeping there until now.
05:18In our town, sir, the water is up to here.
05:21We've been here for four days already.
05:25We're just enduring it, sir.
05:27In other places in Datu Pyang, it's still flooding.
05:30Just like in Doa Minanga Elementary School, the water is still overflowing.
05:34These men are helping to clean and remove fallen trees in the school.
05:39They also continue to distribute aid to the affected residents.
05:44The PDRRMO is now reporting the total damage caused by the flood.
05:50This is the result of the heavy rain last night.
05:53A subdivision in Davao City was flooded.
05:56This pick-up truck broke down.
05:58Many motorists were also stranded.
06:00Some passengers continued to walk.
06:05The flood has reached Dibdib.
06:07Our situation is really bad because every time there's a flood here,
06:10this is the worst flood, the highest one.
06:13I know it was flooded here, but it wasn't that high.
06:16But now, it's really bad.
06:17The water is up to here.
06:20Did you use it?
06:22Yes.
06:24Where?
06:26In the freezer.
06:28Don't worry, just trust us.
06:31According to the Office of the Civil Defense, Region 11,
06:34282 individuals were affected by the flood in seven barangays in Davao City last night.
06:40In Peket, Cotabato, two barangays were still submerged in the flood.
06:43They were on top of the water.
06:45It was difficult to evacuate the residents and to distribute aid.
06:50At present, 14,000 families are affected there.
06:54The Ministry of Social Services and Development made a quick assessment
06:58in the town of Nabalawag, which is part of BARMM.
07:01The water is still up to their necks in some places.
07:09Emil, the residents of Datong Montawal and Magalungan Maguindanao Sur are praying
07:13that it won't rain heavily in the area of Bukidnon, Cagayan de Oro City,
07:17which is part of North Cotabato.
07:19Emil.
07:20Thank you very much.
07:21Jess Toni Humamil of GMA Regional TV.
07:25Many of our Kapuso are not paying attention
07:28to what is being overlooked due to poverty.
07:32This is the answer of the Kapuso 2020-I Project of the GMA Kapuso Foundation.
07:43Even though the 20th is just around the corner,
07:45almost every day, Rory is going around San Juan City
07:50using his tricycle to repair broken watches.
07:57The vast view makes it even harder for him to make a living.
08:02He can no longer see the 50 mirrors he bought in Bankieta.
08:09So, he is very grateful that he can be a part of our Kapuso 2020-I Project.
08:17He was a part of our Kapuso 2020-I Project last year
08:23where there was a free eye check-up and mirror.
08:28Before, it was really hard for me.
08:30Before, this was the only thing I could use.
08:33It's really tight when you wear it.
08:36Clarence is also a Grade 11 student who was given a mirror.
08:42This is a big help in his studies,
08:44especially that he received the Academic Excellence Award.
08:49It was a big help because the mirror made my vision clearer.
08:54I was able to understand the lessons.
08:57Do you also want to have a free eye check-up?
09:02You can call the numbers flashed on your TV screen
09:07to register from July 17 to July 25,
09:11Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
09:17Who knows, you might be one of the 150 patients
09:21who will be counted in the Kapuso 2020-I Project of the GMA Kapuso Foundation.
09:28And for those who want to be a part of our projects,
09:30you can deposit in our bank accounts
09:33or send in a monthly loan.
09:36It can also be online via Gcash, Shopee, and Lazada.
09:42KAPUSO
09:46Kapuso, let's update on the two weather systems
09:49that are causing rain in a large part of the country right now.
09:52Let's start with the low-pressure area
09:54that has the highest chance of rain in the coastal waters of Giwan, Eastern Samar.
09:58In the forecast track, the LPA is moving north-westward towards Samar Island.
10:04Tomorrow, it is expected to be in the eastern part of Southern Luzon.
10:08According to the forecast, the chance of rain will be smaller.
10:11Aside from getting closer to the land,
10:13the vertical wind shear is also high.
10:16That is the difference in the strength or speed of the wind
10:18in the upper and lower parts of the atmosphere,
10:20which is why the LPA's circulation is easily damaged.
10:24However, it will still be affected by heavy rain.
10:27The low-pressure air continues to circulate
10:29in the northern part of Southern Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
10:33According to the Metro Weather,
10:34it has been raining in Samar and Leyte Provinces since this morning.
10:37By the end of the day, it will be almost all of Visayas.
10:40Most of that will be heavy to intense rains,
10:43particularly in the Negros Provinces.
10:45The residents of Panay Island are being careful,
10:47especially with the possible torrential rains
10:49or the heavy rainfall there.
10:51It will continue until the evening,
10:52so be extra careful, especially in the flood-prone areas
10:55or when the land is dry.
10:56In Luzon, however,
10:57it will experience a scattered rainfall in the morning
10:59in Bicol, Mimaropa, and Quezon Provinces.
11:01It will increase in the afternoon
11:03when it is almost all of Luzon.
11:05It will experience heavy to intense rains,
11:07particularly in the Central Luzon, Mimaropa, and Calabar Zone.
11:10It will also rain in Carraga, Davao, and Barm Provinces.
11:14It will continue with heavy rainfall in the afternoon and evening.
11:17Be extra careful, our fellow citizens,
11:19because it will be flooded for a few days.
11:22Here in Metro Manila,
11:23there is a chance of rain in the morning,
11:25but in the afternoon and evening,
11:26heavy rainfall is possible,
11:28so for those who can walk,
11:29don't forget to bring an umbrella.
11:33In the midst of the widespread sale of kidney or kidney stone,
11:36it is once again mentioned how difficult it is to get a transplant.
11:40More than a million pesos is required for the operation.
11:43The kidney stone is free, but it needs to be selected.
11:46Unless you already have a donor,
11:48you should not pay for it.
11:50Maki Pulido was able to talk.
11:55For the long life of 23-year-old Joy's child,
11:58a kidney transplant is needed.
12:00She is already in stage 5.
12:02Her kidney is no longer functioning.
12:06It has been a long time since she had a kidney transplant.
12:09Last year, Joy asked the National Kidney and Transplant Institute, or NKTI,
12:14how to get a kidney transplant for her child.
12:17But before the process can start,
12:19she needs 600,000 pesos as show money.
12:22Her income is not enough to buy food,
12:25so until now, the child is only on dialysis.
12:28I earn my living at night.
12:30If there are no people in the bar,
12:32I don't earn anything.
12:34Sometimes, I don't have enough food.
12:36We have to build a house.
12:38Now, I don't have electricity.
12:40I can't pay the bills of my child.
12:42I can't pay the bills of my child.
12:44I stopped paying the bills.
12:46Because it will end.
12:49NKTI admitted that the transplant needs money.
12:54NKTI's kidney transplant costs 1.2 million pesos.
12:58But PhilHealth can pay for half of it.
13:01The medicines will cost up to 30,000 pesos per month.
13:05NKTI even appealed to PhilHealth
13:08to become an anti-rejection medicine.
13:11Kidney transplant is not for everybody
13:13because you have to have medicines.
13:16You have to maintain those medicines for the rest of your life
13:20so that you won't reject the kidney.
13:22It's like a show money.
13:23It's in their bank account.
13:25It's their insurance.
13:26I hope they can subsidize their medicines
13:29at least for the first six months post-transplant.
13:32Even if the kidney transplant needs money,
13:36there's no line if you have a donor.
13:38If there's no living donor,
13:40the wait can be long.
13:42One of their patients has been waiting for six years
13:45to have a kidney donor.
13:46There's a 100 on the waiting list
13:48of Human Organ Preservation Effort or HOPE.
13:51It's hoped that more people will be listed as organ donors.
13:54It's also a solution to avoid kidney sales.
13:58If you carry the organ donor card,
14:01sign it.
14:02It's behind your driver's license
14:05in case anything happens to you
14:09and you're brain dead
14:13but your organs are still functioning.
14:15Let's donate all of our organs
14:18to those with kidney failure, lung failure, heart failure,
14:23liver failure.
14:24They can have a new life.
14:26In the middle of the news,
14:27the kidney sales of NKTI
14:29are strict in their process
14:31and hopefully,
14:32it's the same in other hospitals.
14:34For non-related donors,
14:35the donor and recipient should have an emotional or social relationship.
14:41They undergo a psychiatric evaluation.
14:45We have a Hospital Transplant Ethics Committee.
14:48We also have our head of our social worker
14:52as part of that committee.
14:54They will interview the donor
14:58and they will talk to the barangay captain.
15:00For GMA Integrated News,
15:02Mackie Pulido reporting for 24 Hours.
15:16Four years in office.
15:19Five important challenges.
15:21One of them is the rapid growth of the country's economy.
15:24It's one of the first things the people want to hear
15:28from the President this Monday.
15:30Next to that, of course,
15:32is the salary and other economic challenges.
15:35The government's response?
15:37Let's find out in the Sona Special Report
15:40by Ivan Mayrina.
15:42That's what I lose sleep every night over,
15:44is how to bring down inflation.
15:48As early as 2023,
15:50that's the problem that won't let the President sleep.
15:53Inflation, or the rapid rise in the prices of goods.
15:57This July of 2024,
15:59a few days before his third State of the Nation Address,
16:02the President's response?
16:04The President's response?
16:06The President's response?
16:08The President's response?
16:10The President's response?
16:11The President's response?
16:14Inflation is down again from 6% throughout 2023.
16:18That's only 3.7%,
16:20based on the latest data from the Philippine Statistics Authority.
16:23That's all.
16:24In spite of the lower half of that number,
16:27food inflation, or the rise in food prices,
16:31is still at 6.5% this June.
16:34Rice, for example,
16:35is still at double-digit inflation.
16:37It hasn't changed at all since September last year.
16:43That's why Ms. Zanayda can't sleep either.
16:46She's thinking about how to balance
16:48the small salary of a construction worker's child
16:51for their primary needs,
16:53especially since her job is not permanent.
16:56She's from Paliparan, Dasmariñas, Cavite,
16:58and she's been living in Leylayan for a long time.
17:02When I know that our rice is on the brink,
17:04I cry.
17:07I cry for two nights,
17:09even if it's just for two days,
17:12it's okay.
17:13As long as we're not hungry.
17:15We drink hot water.
17:18That's it.
17:19We reach the morning.
17:21I can't sleep.
17:22I'm thinking about where I'll get my rice tomorrow.
17:27It's too expensive to buy.
17:29It's heavy.
17:30We can't afford to buy it at that price.
17:34Based on the results of the Pulse Asia survey this June,
17:37the highest price and lowest price
17:40is the number one that Filipinos want to hear
17:43in the next State of the Nation Address of the President.
17:46Next is the economic recovery and job creation.
17:51In our market, we met Rolando Paet.
17:54He said that he's not poor when he grows up,
17:56but he admits that he's poor when it comes to budgeting.
18:001,000 pesos in his budget for the next two or three days
18:04for the needs of his wife and two children
18:07is on his list.
18:09The total expense is 980 pesos.
18:11He didn't even wash the tomatoes and onions in that container.
18:14The rice is also not included.
18:17In addition to electricity, water,
18:19gasoline for the motorcycle,
18:20and other daily expenses.
18:23I'm selling it for 1,000 pesos.
18:26I'm just about to buy it.
18:30It's true that if half of the economy is discussed,
18:32it doesn't bother the Philippines.
18:34The 5.5% GDP of the Philippines
18:37in terms of economy growth is in the country
18:39in 2023, number one in ASEAN.
18:42However, at the same time,
18:44the higher GDP is also facing
18:47the highest inflation in the region at the same time.
18:52According to the National Economic and Development Authority,
18:55there is no control of the Philippines
18:58It's a confluence of factors.
19:00One of this is the El Nino that we had.
19:04And then the other compounding factor was
19:08the supply in the global market.
19:13Because some countries restricted their exports.
19:21Some of those who were discarded by the government
19:24Some of those who were discarded by the government
19:26due to the rise in the price of rice
19:28was the mandate of the price cap for rice in September
19:31which was revoked last month.
19:33There is also a request to amend the Rice Tarification Law
19:37so that the National Food Authority can sell cheap rice again.
19:40And just last month,
19:42the NEDA Board passed a law
19:44to lower the tariff on agricultural products
19:46including rice from 35% to 15%
19:50with the aim of lowering the price to P29 per kilo of rice.
19:54These are artificial inducements.
19:56One-shot deals.
19:58But ultimately, the long-term sustainable solution,
20:02one that is more meaningful, permanent,
20:05would be raising farmers' productivity.
20:09Raising the price of goods
20:11is one of the basis for approving a higher wage.
20:14Last year, the minimum wage in Metro Manila increased by P75.
20:19Several wage hike petitions were issued
20:21and a legislated wage hike was also proposed
20:24by the workers.
20:26The high wage and high price are incompatible.
20:29The DOLE is forcing them to balance it.
20:32We will never ever be able to strike the very perfect balance.
20:36Even on the matter of providing
20:40or coming up with an adjustment in the minimum wage,
20:43it's always a thankless job.
20:45In the end, increasing the production of food
20:48is the main way for the government to lower the price
20:51that the government is forcing them to use.
20:53However, the effect is not immediate.
20:56In the next one or two years,
20:58it is expected that some of these projects
21:01such as cold storage facilities will be realized.
21:03Your wastage will really go down.
21:05It will be thrown away.
21:07That's why the price is increasing.
21:10If half of it is thrown away,
21:12it will be thrown away.
21:17While the price of food remains a dream,
21:20Ms. Zanayda is hoping for the President's blessing.
21:24There is a possible solution
21:26so that they won't be hungry anymore.
