00:00Good morning. This is the first news brought to you by GMA Integrated News.

00:20PhilHealth is recommending to President Bongbong Marcos na Babaan the monthly contribution of their members.

00:27This was said by PhilHealth after some senators said that they will collect almost Php 70 billion from the government's unused subsidy.

00:38PhilHealth legalized the collection of funds and it does not include the monthly contribution of the members.

00:44Here is the first news brought to you by Mav Gonzalez.

00:47PhilHealth currently has a monthly premium of 5%.

00:52For example, if a direct contributor earns Php 10,000 per month, his monthly contribution is Php 500.

01:00PhilHealth is now recommending to President Bongbong Marcos na Babaan the contribution of their members.

01:07This was said by PhilHealth after the Senate Committee on Health heard that they still have Php 500 billion.

01:14I will convene our team and we will recommend for a reduction in the premium rates, contribution rates to President Marcos.

01:21Before this, the senators allocated the collection of Php 90 billion from the government's unused subsidy to PhilHealth.

01:30It is hoped that it will be used by the patients.

01:33Why do we need to return the Php 90 billion? Why are the PhilHealth benefit packages still not enough and there are still out-of-pocket patients?

01:41Before you collect the money, think about what can be used for that money.

01:47PhilHealth explained that it is legal to collect funds from the national government.

01:51It was also not included in the contribution of the members.

01:54It doesn't mean that because the Php 90 billion is gone, PhilHealth will lose money.

01:58Why don't you use your funds for the poor, for the patients who are in need so that your money will not be taken away by the Department of Finance?

02:10We are very, very aggressively enhancing all of our benefit packages.

02:15In fact, we did an initial 30% across the board last February 14 and we are already in the process of doing another round of 30%.

02:28Finance Secretary Ralph Recto also faced criticism.

02:31He said that the GCG and OGCC agreed that it is legal and that it is not included in the Universal Health Care Act.

02:40He also said that the money will not be invested in the Maharlika Investment Fund,

02:43but in the Unprogrammed Appropriations or projects of the government that do not have a specific source of funding.

02:50To fund the Unprogrammed Appropriations, Congress determined that there is another way aside from new taxes as well as debts.

03:01And this is through the collection of the sleeping and unused money of the GOCCs that we are still paying interest.

03:13But some doctors are still talking about not reducing the funds for health care.

03:18We are the ones who are being approached, we are the ones who are at the side of the law.

03:27Excuse me.

03:28PhilHealth's help is not enough.

03:32Let's not call it savings because this is our debt to them.

03:40This should not be considered as a penalty.

03:42While the intent of the government to help the economy through the transfer of the funds to the national budget may be meritorious,

03:51the means for its achievement is definitely in violation of the law,

03:55especially if the health sector is being robbed of their rights due to it.

04:00This is the first news.

04:02Mab Gonzalez for GMA Integrated News.

04:06Some barangays in Limay, Bataan, are not safe to swim and fish.

04:13This is due to the water quality test conducted by the DNR on July 25 and 26.

04:19The next investigation was conducted on the leakage of oil from the sinking MT Terra Nova.

04:24Among the affected areas are Barangay Alamau, Luz Kitang, Francis One, and Wawa.

04:30The oil should not exceed 2 mg per liter in the sea to remain safe for swimming

04:37and up to 3 mg per liter to be safe for fishing.

04:41The fishing ban in Limay is still in force.

04:44According to the Philippine Coast Guard,

04:46it is possible that the siphoning or sinking of the MT Terra Nova with more than a million liters of oil will start today.

04:52This did not continue yesterday because all the leaked valves and tubes were not sealed.

04:57As of now, 18 of the 24 valves and tubes were sealed by divers.

05:02According to the PCG, the oil leak is lower than 1 liter per hour.

05:06That's why there's less oil in Limay.

05:09According to their aerial inspection in Metro Manila, Cavite, Bulacan, and Pampanga,

05:13there's almost no oil seen.

05:15There's also no oil spill among the fishermen in Manila Bay.

05:20The Office of the Solicitor General, the International Criminal Court or ICC,

05:25should be able to talk to the five people involved in the drug war of former President Rodrigo Duterte.

05:32The prosecutor needs to do this because before he can apply for a warrant of arrest in the pre-trial chamber of the ICC,

05:43he needs to show that he investigated all the facts.

05:48Whether incriminating or exonerating,

05:51he should be able to show that he did everything to give all persons concerned a chance to explain their position.

06:03That's why Guevara said that the government will not help in the investigation of the ICC.

06:07There's no longer a relationship between the Philippines and the ICC after the country withdrew from the statute in 2019.

06:13According to former Presidential Spokesperson Salvador Panelo,

06:17what Guevara is doing is contrary to what President Bongbong Marcos said.

06:21According to Guevara, the Philippines will not stop the ICC.

06:25He also said that the ICC has jurisdiction over the country.

06:29There's no answer from Guevara.

06:31The Solicitor General also did not say who the five people he will talk to in the ICC prosecutor.

06:37But in the document issued by former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV,

06:41they are the former PNP chief and now Senator Bato de la Rosa,

06:45former PNP chief Oscar Albayalde,

06:47and former generals of the PNP Sen. Romeo Karamat Jr.,

06:51Edilberto Leonardo and Eleazar Mata.

06:54They are the suspects in the drug war case.

06:58Albayalde is ready to face the investigation.

07:01Karamat defended the drug war and said it was a success in Bulacan where he became the provincial director.

07:08The GMI Integrated News also asked for the statements of Mata, Leonardo and de la Rosa.

07:13De la Rosa said before that the accusations against him are just a repeat.

07:24So Ms. Chika, the third place is sparkle artist Sky Chua

07:27in the Southeast Asia Open Figure Skating Trophy.

07:30Let's watch.

07:36Sky also showed her skills in figure skating in the senior division.

07:40She is a member of that tournament from different countries and 12 from the Philippines.

07:45Sky is proud to represent the Philippines in the said tournament.

07:49It will help her to enhance her skills for the next competitions.

07:54According to the President's order that pogo is prohibited in the country,

07:57the authorities ordered pogo in a residential area in Clark, Pampanga.

08:0110 Chinese were arrested.

08:03Salima Refran is always the first in the news. Exclusive.

08:10The PNP-CIDG's target in the operation in Clark, Pampanga is small illegal pogo in residential areas.

08:1910 Chinese nationals were arrested for receiving 7 search warrants

08:23in different villas and townhouses in an exclusive community.

08:27Computers, gadgets and money vaults that were used in their operation were recovered.

08:33The authorities have not yet allowed them to be turned over to the Bureau of Immigration.

08:37The Bureau of Immigration and Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission of PAOC

08:43is also in custody.

08:44The Chinese national was arrested in Tuba, Benguet last Saturday.

08:47He was wanted in China and has an Interpol Red Notice for the fraud of almost 200,000 people.

08:54He was fined 7 billion yuan or almost 56 billion pesos in China.

09:00He used a fake Cambodian passport.

09:03We consider him to be the brain of the pogo operation, the scamming operation here in the Philippines.

09:11He is not only serving one pogo hub, he is also a consultant of many other pogo hubs.

09:20Next, President Bongbong Marcos declared a pogo ban.

09:24According to PAGCOR, new hires to pogo are now prohibited.

09:27Next week, PAGCOR will arrest the pogo.

09:31The violation of PAGCOR's license is a privilege.

09:36And this privilege can be returned by PAGCOR at any time.

09:43The 30,000 Filipino pogo workers who are expected to lose their jobs will help to find a job.

09:50The Department of Labor and Employment is already in talks with BPO and IT companies.

09:56Many of them are encoders.

09:59If their skills and habits are lacking, we will join them in training, upskilling, retraining.

10:09The fact-finding team of Comelec is involved in the investigation of suspended Mayor Alice Guo.

10:17This week, the law department of Comelec On Bank is expected to give their recommendation

10:23if there is a misrepresentation or violation of the omnibus election code of Guo.

10:28If the findings of the law department are correct,

10:32there is a possible crime called election offense,

10:38the law department of On Bank will immediately order to file the information to the regional trial court.

10:46All those who face violations in the commission of elections should be afforded due process.

10:51According to our Mayor of Bamban, they haven't seen Guo for a month and a half.

10:57Guo has repeatedly denied that he's a Filipino and that he's not a protector of Pugos.

11:02In addition to the co-oranto petition filed by the Solicitor General against him,

11:07his lawyer refused to give a statement.

11:10Here is the first news in Lima, Refran for JMA Integrated News.

11:17Senate President Chis Escudero called it a shame that the PNP and NBI still can't detain suspended Bamban Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo.

11:27Yes, it's a shame for the PNP that it can't do this,

11:32especially that they are still here in the country according to the Bureau of Immigration.

11:37But as an example, it's not because the PNP is now kicking,

11:40we will remove the intelligence fund and they will kick even more if ever.

11:45Chis Escudero will discuss in the budget hearing of the NBI and PNP why Guo hasn't been sentenced yet.

11:52In the Senate hearing this Monday,

11:54Senator Jingoya Estrada said that the 2025 budget of the NBI and PNP will be reduced

11:59if Guo will not be seen within a month.

12:03Escudero said that it's not an emergency because their work may not be able to be operative.

12:08Guo was arrested by the Senate committee because he has repeatedly denied the hearing about the illegal Pugos.

12:15NBI Director Jaime Santiago said that they are still looking for the mayor.

12:20If he will be kicked by Guo, the mayor won't be able to leave if he will submit to the NBI.

12:26Jaime Integrated News is working hard to get the permission of the PNP.

12:29More than P600 million or more than P36 billion in military assistance and investment

12:36will be given by the United States to the Philippines for the modernization of our military.

12:41That was the announcement of the U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken

12:44in a meeting held in Manila yesterday.

12:47Here's the first news, Joseph Morong.

12:53In their meeting with President Bongbong Marcos,

12:55U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin

13:00welcomed the people of Habagat and Baguio, Carina.

13:04You know, I've said a number of times that we're more than allies, we're family.

13:08And it always feels that way when, you know, I'm working with our colleagues.

13:13And I'm always very happy that these communication lines are very open

13:20so that all the things that we are doing together in terms of our alliance,

13:29in terms of the specific context of our situation here in the West Philippine Sea and in the Indo-Pacific

13:36are continuously examined and reexamined.

13:40So we are agile in terms of our responses.

14:10Blinken's announcement will provide U.S.$500 million in military assistance

14:14and U.S.$128 million in investments in EDCA sites that will be used to modernize our military.

14:21And America's assistance in the Philippines is to maintain my status in the region,

14:27particularly in Taiwan, because whatever happens there, the neighboring countries are affected.

14:33I think there's a recognition around the world that were there to be some kind of crisis on Taiwan,

14:38it would affect everyone, it would have global impact.

14:41In Pulong, the Philippines and China have been talking for almost four hours

14:46about the rotation of the Reprovisioning Aurora Mission to the Philippine troops in Ayungin Shoal.

14:52The Americans are pleased that there was no harassment in the resupply mission on July 27.

14:57According to Secretary Manalo, the most recent resupply mission was peaceful

15:01because of what he called an exchange of information.

15:04And China must not do anything. When we say, okay, we're going to Ayungin,

15:08no one will do anything to China, sir.

15:12What do you mean?

15:13Yeah, that's part of it. Nothing. Because we've exchanged information.

15:17And they're not empowered or they have no place to say no?

15:21Well, I'll be blunt. If they said no, then that's not part of the understanding.

15:27Secretary Chodoro added,

15:29The strategy in WPS and SES never changes.

15:33We have to have as much to protect our rights.

15:38Our sovereign rights, our sovereignty.

15:40That is the strategy. It doesn't change.

15:42In accordance with the rule of law and the rules-based order handling.

15:46Meanwhile, some groups protested against the visit of Blinken and Austin.

15:51According to the group Bayan, the President of the country is putting them in danger through EDCA sites.

15:57This is the first news. Joseph Morong for GMA Integrated News.

16:03Although the Philippine Coast Guard said that the oil spill was controlled from MT Terra Nova in Bataan,

16:09some fishermen are still in fear here in Metro Manila.

16:12First news live, Bea Binlac.

16:16Bea?

16:19Maris, our fishermen are facing a new calamity here in Bulungan Fish Port in Paranaque City.

16:27They are afraid that the oil spill from Bataan will reach the sea.

16:36It is not yet clear from Habagat and Bagyong Karina,

16:40that some fishermen are still in fear here in Bulungan Fish Port,

16:44that they might be affected by the oil spill in Limay, Bataan.

16:47Fishing is their main livelihood.

16:50So if the oil spill reaches a large part of the sea in Manila and Cavite,

16:54It will be difficult. It will stop.

16:57Because who will buy fish if it reaches here?

17:02We are pitiful.

17:03We are just pitiful of their income because it is bad for the fish.

17:12We cannot catch good ones.

17:15Their story is that even though they are not yet affected by the oil spill,

17:19the sale of fish is already slow because the buyers are being careful.

17:23So now that the oil has spread to the coastal barangay of Ternate, Maragondon, Naik,

17:29and some parts of Tanza in Cavite,

17:31Mang Ray will call for help.

17:33I hope that they will hurry so that the oil spill will not reach here.

17:39Maris, just like what you said, according to the Philippine Coast Guard,

17:42it is not expected that the oil spill from MT Teranova in Limay, Bataan will reach Metro Manila.

17:50And that is the first news from Paranaque City,

17:53Bea Pinlac for GMA Integrated News.

17:57The Philippine National Police denied the allegation of Vice President Sara Duterte

18:01that political harassment is the reason for the oil spill.

18:05According to our PNP leadership, this is not true.

18:10The objective of the PNP leadership is to increase the number of police on the ground

18:15so that we can increase and sustain the police visibility and presence.

18:21According to the PNP spokesperson, Police Colonel Jean Fajardo,

18:25there are still three police officers who were left behind.

18:29Aside from that, his security personnel are from the Armed Forces of the Philippines.

18:33The AFP explained that the presence of the Presidential Security Command or PSC

18:38in the Vice Presidential Security and Protection Group

18:41is part of their strategy to make their organization more effective.

18:46In a Facebook post, the PNP spokesperson said that

18:49the PNP's security personnel are from the Armed Forces of the Philippines.

19:58Kapuso, how did you sleep last night?

20:01If you didn't sleep well,

20:03just like the other Filipinos who don't get enough sleep,

20:06let's go to a lesson.

20:07We're with you.

20:09First news live from EJ Gomez.

20:11EJ, did you sleep well?

20:16Susan, I feel like I'm with them.

20:19That's normal.

20:22But according to a study,

20:24Filipinos lack sleep in Southeast Asia

20:29and fourth in the world.

20:32We talked to some of our Kapuso

20:34and found out if they lack sleep and why.

20:43At 12 p.m.,

20:45Buboy left her house in Caloocan

20:48to travel to Mandaluyong to sell tofu.

20:51On the day he travels,

20:53which lasts almost all day,

20:55he only rests and sleeps for four to five hours.

20:59I want to sleep, but I can't.

21:02If you sleep, you won't be able to catch up with your work.

21:05That's the only time I sleep.

21:10It's hard because you have a lot to do

21:13and you have a lot to do at home.

21:16It's also hard to sleep in the morning or when there's still daylight.

21:19It's hot in the house and noisy.

21:22I can't sleep. I just have to endure it.

21:25That's also Beng's daily routine, selling corn.

21:28He's lucky if he can get six hours of sleep

21:31or more in one day.

21:33At first, I thought I would wake up.

21:35I thought I would regret it.

21:37But that's how it is.

21:39Sometimes, when I feel sleepy, God has mercy on me.

21:42But I need to be here at 4 a.m.

21:45Robinson is a hard worker.

21:48That's why he has a hard time sleeping.

21:51I have two jobs at night.

21:53In the morning, I work as a mechanic at a motor shop.

21:59That's why I only sleep for five hours.

22:03According to the study of the Consumer Research and Data Analytics Company,

22:07which is Milieu Insight 2023,

22:09the Philippines is the leading country in Southeast Asia

22:12that has seven hours of sleep a day.

22:15In the whole world, the Philippines is the fourth country that lacks sleep.

22:20According to an expert, many Filipinos lack sleep

22:24due to digitalization and globalization,

22:26including the use of social media or mobile phones

22:29while resting and working in the graveyard shift.

22:33It's also admitted that Boboy and Robinson

22:36are used to using their cell phones a few hours before going to sleep.

22:39According to the expert, adults should sleep for seven to nine hours every night.

22:44Seniors should sleep for six to eight hours.

22:47Lack of sleep can be a sign of heart disease, hypertension,

22:52stroke, obesity, diabetes, and infection.

22:56It's hard when you lack sleep.

22:58You get headaches.

23:01You get tired quickly.

23:03It's very tiring.

23:05Sometimes, the mattress is thin and the cement is cold.

23:10That's all.

23:11All I can see is my back.

23:13It hurts a lot.

23:20Susan, according to what we've talked to,

23:23they don't want to sleep every day.

23:26They also need money for their families.

23:30According to them, some of the remedies or discards they do

23:34to recover from sleep or fatigue

23:38are pulling and reducing the use of cell phones.

23:43That's the first news from Mandaluyong.
