NewsTranscript
00:00The Philippines is the third largest producer of bananas in the world, so to help farmers,
00:17a mobile robot system was built that can detect diseases in banana trees.
00:23Come on, let's change the game!
00:26A robot that can travel across hectares of land to map the area.
00:35A program called computer vision that can see trees.
00:43And it can also detect various kinds of diseases.
00:46This is the ROAMER, or Robot for Optimized and Autonomous Mission Enhancement Responses.
00:56It is a ground component of the ASIMOV program, or Autonomous Societally Inspired Mission Oriented Vehicles.
01:03Developed by DOST Advanced Science and Technology Institute last 2023.
01:09It was made to help farmers, particularly banana farmers.
01:15Why banana plantations?
01:17Because DOST wants to address the problem of the spread of Fusarium wilt,
01:23or the fungal disease that can damage crops.
01:30We pivoted the project to agriculture because we need food every day,
01:35so it will be more lucrative than that.
01:39We want to have an automated solution that can help improve the productivity of the banana industry.
01:47The project was funded by 24.8 million pesos,
01:50where artificial intelligence, or AI, played a big role in the programming.
01:56Instead of telling the computer what the plant looks like,
02:01you give it a data set.
02:03Then it will study and find patterns on what the Fusarium wilt looks like.
02:13This is Project ROAMER, and it is ready to collect data.
02:17But before that, let's explore the different parts of it.
02:21We can see the wheels, perfect for different surfaces and different terrains.
02:26This is the LiDAR, and this is solely for area mapping.
02:31This is the camera, this is for the disease detection.
02:35We have a modem on the back, just for robot communication.
02:41Project ROAMER is ready to roll.
02:49After ROAMER rolls, it throws all the data it can collect.
02:55This is the app that our developers use to study the information.
03:00After just one project in a laboratory environment,
03:03ROAMER was able to test in banana plantations.
03:07It's another game-changing and revolutionary invention in the agricultural sector.
03:12Aside from helping our farmers,
03:15it also shows the benefits of using artificial intelligence.
03:21For GMA Integrated News, I am Martin Aviar,
03:24Changing the Game!
03:27The LCFRB is preparing a free ride on Monday
03:31through a protest plan of several groups
03:34against the recommendation of the Senate to suspend the PUV Modernization Program.
03:40This is not a stop-and-go, but a unity walk.
03:44Maki Polido was there.
03:47Suspension of the modernization!
03:51It's a waste!
03:53It's not a stop-and-go,
03:55but many of those who have modernized their jeeps
03:59and joined cooperatives,
04:01will not stop on Monday
04:03to march from Welcome Rotunda to Malacanang
04:06from 5 am.
04:08This is a unity walk
04:09to protest the resolution of the Senate
04:11to suspend the implementation of the PUV Modernization Program.
04:16This is a show of force by 83% of those who modernized,
04:19but ignored.
04:21How many of you will be in the unity walk?
04:25Us?
04:26To give you a clearer perspective,
04:29in December, thousands of people came to our march
04:32towards Malacanang.
04:33Because of what happened,
04:35we are expecting more,
04:36double or triple the number.
04:38They are now apologizing to the affected passengers.
04:42But this is just a taste,
04:44because if the PUV Modernization Program is suspended,
04:48maybe next time,
04:49we won't be able to estimate our members
04:52and make a 100% stop-and-go.
04:56The LTFRB promised again
04:58that despite the resolution of the Senate,
05:00the PUV Modernization Program will not be suspended.
05:18Some will prepare free rides on Monday.
05:21But Gwadis believes that the commuters will not be affected
05:25because most of the modernized jeepneys will still pass.
05:29For the operators, it's the majority of them
05:32and probably their families.
05:34For the drivers, the warning is at the most,
05:38only about 10%
05:40so that there will be no major disruption on the road.
05:44Some of the commuters we talked to
05:46have no choice but to worry.
05:48The protest action,
05:50I personally support it.
05:53Because this protest action is very important
05:56to the drivers, operators,
05:58but to the majority of the passengers.
06:01Of course, it's more pricy
06:04when it comes to transportation
06:07that you use an application
06:09times 3 or almost times 6
06:12that your fare for a jeep is 13 pesos,
06:15regular fee,
06:17you will pay 160, 170 or 200.
06:20You will go to the office.
06:22For GMA Integrated News,
06:24Makipulido na Katutok, 24 horas.
06:28The Philippines will not block
06:30the International Criminal Police Organization or INTERPOL
06:33if the International Criminal Court
06:35allows the issuance of a warrant of arrest
06:38to those involved in the bloody drug war
06:41of the Duterte administration.
06:43It's the INTERPOL's job to serve it.
06:45If you block it,
06:47we will have repercussions in the country.
06:51According to Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Rebulia,
06:54the country will only appeal
06:56if there is a police fight
06:58or if it will directly affect
07:00the international commitments of the Philippines.
07:02In the ICC, we were the only ones who left
07:04and not the INTERPOL.
07:06For now, the ICC Prosecutor is leading
07:09to get help from Makapayam,
07:11the 5 people who were involved in a communication
07:14that was first confirmed
07:16by Solicitor General Menardo Guevara,
07:18but was not named.
07:20According to former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV,
07:23in a social media post,
07:25former PNP chief,
07:27and now Senator Bato de la Rosa,
07:29former PNP chief Oscar Albayalde,
07:32former PNP-CIDG directors
07:34Romeo Karamat Jr. and Elia Zarbata,
07:37and NAPOLCOM Commissioner Edilperto Leonardo,
07:40Senator Bato de la Rosa
07:42has already answered the arrest warrant.
07:46If the arrest warrant is issued
07:49and it will be served to me
07:53by INTERPOL,
07:56I will not submit to their jurisdiction.
07:59I will not submit to their jurisdiction.
08:01I know they don't have jurisdiction to us.
08:04I will submit to the authority of our government,
08:07but if that is the order of our court,
08:12but if that is the order of our government,
08:16then I will not recognize it.
08:22Let's quickly check in to share these happenings.
08:28Dream come true for Kylie Nalcantara
08:30to be the cover girl of Mega Magazine this month.
08:33Kylie has been manifesting for a long time
08:35that she has been feeling down
08:37because of the bashers.
08:39One of the supporters
08:41is the basketball star Koby Paras
08:43who is close to her.
08:44Kylie messaged her.
08:48Well, thank you.
08:49Thank you for the support.
08:50Ever since we got closer,
08:55we got closer.
08:57He is really supporting me.
09:01Heads up, ARMYs!
09:03Today, BTS member Jimin
09:05released the English version of the song Be Mine
09:08with the new solo album, Muse.
09:11And good news for ONCE
09:13because Tzuyu will have her solo debut.
09:16The maknae of TWICE will soon release
09:18her first mini album, About You.
09:23The NBI filed a complaint
09:25against the actor Sandro Mulac,
09:27son of actor Nino Mulac.
09:29According to the NBI,
09:31Sandro was with the father of the complainant
09:34against two people who were not named by the NBI.
09:37According to the NBI,
09:39the father of Mulac asked for privacy.
09:41In a text message to GMA Integrated News,
09:44Sandro said that he is not okay
09:47but that he can handle his past.
09:50First, Sandro complained to GMA Network
09:53about his two independent contractors,
09:56Jojo Nones and Richard Cruz.
09:59The network said that the investigation is still ongoing.
10:03First, Nones and Cruz's company said
10:06that the allegations do not prove
10:08what really happened.
10:10They will answer this in a proper forum
10:13when they receive a copy of the formal complaint.
10:18More Filipinos are happy
10:20with President Bongbong Marcos' performance
10:22based on the survey of social weather stations
10:25from June 23, 2024 to July 1, 2024.
10:3055% of them surveyed.
10:33Higher than 50% in March 2024.
10:3728% were not happy
10:40while 15% were not happy.
10:44Lower than in March.
10:49Meanwhile, the Justice Department is studying
10:51another complaint against the owners
10:53of three motor tankers in Bataan
10:55that spilled oil.
10:57Darlene Cai was arrested.
11:00More than 100 bags of garbage
11:02were collected by the Coast Guard,
11:04DNR, Municipio, and other volunteers
11:06on the second day of coastal cleanup
11:08in San Rafael, Noveleta, Cavite.
11:10These garbage will be sorted
11:12to see if there is also oil
11:14like the garbage collected
11:16in Tanzac, Cavite this Wednesday.
11:18According to the DNR,
11:20the national standard for oil and grease content
11:22in water is 2 mg per liter.
11:24But the oil in the water tank
11:26contains up to 7 mg per liter
11:28of oil in the water sample
11:30from the hole on July 30.
11:32Next to Bulacan, Bulacan,
11:34and Rosario, Batangas.
11:36It is also higher than the standard
11:38obtained in Manila, Pasay,
11:40and Las Piñas, Cavite boundary.
11:42But according to the DNR,
11:44these are not from Terra Nova.
11:46The Philippine Coast Guard and the DOST
11:48are working on what we call
11:50fingerprinting
11:52so that we can say
11:54that the actual source
11:56of the oil contamination
11:58in these particular areas
12:00that have exceedance
12:02is from Terra Nova.
12:04The incident is not over.
12:06In Barangay Lamau, Salimay, Bataan,
12:08the standard for oil content
12:10is higher than on July 26.
12:12If we're talking about fish,
12:14petrochemicals contaminated
12:16the fish collected
12:18in Noveleta and Rosario, Cavite
12:20based on sensory evaluation
12:22by the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources
12:24or BFAR.
12:26But this is before oil slicks were found
12:28in the area.
12:30Fish samples from Cavite City
12:32and towns of Tanza and Naik
12:34were not found.
12:36We stopped harvesting fish
12:38in the areas where oil slicks
12:40were found
12:42to avoid food poisoning.
12:44Because of the three
12:46subsequent accidents of motor tankers
12:48in MT Terra Nova,
12:50MTR Jason Bradley
12:52and MD Merola 1 in Bataan,
12:54there should be a case
12:56according to the Interior Department.
12:58This is a great, not only a health hazard
13:00for everyone. We review procedures.
13:02Why in this area?
13:04It seems like a lot of people are drowning.
13:06The Justice Department is studying
13:08the complaint filed against
13:10the owners of the ship
13:12and other responsible for the incident.
13:14A crime was committed against
13:16our people and our environment.
13:18All three are interconnected,
13:20we believe.
13:22The first two vessels especially.
13:24We have nothing to lose here.
13:26The owner of Terra Nova
13:28has not yet given his statement.
13:30While we are still trying to get the statement
13:32of the owners of the other two ships.
13:34For GMA Integrated News,
13:36Darlene Cai has been talking for 24 hours.
13:38In the latest text
13:40from the owner of the motor tanker
13:42Terra Nova, he said
13:44he will not answer his questions first.
13:46They will send the questions
13:48to the Media Relations Company.
13:54Looking forward,
13:56Diana Zveri is on her way
13:58to the taping of the upcoming series, Batang Riles.
14:00And as the first owner
14:02of Brilliante ng Lupa,
14:04she has a message for the new owner
14:06Bianco Umali
14:08of Incantadia Chronicles Sangre.
14:10Let's talk to Larson Tiago.
14:12The first vessel
14:14is just a vacation.
14:16But the next
14:18opportunity came
14:20for Diana Zveri.
14:22That's why she is very thankful.
14:24First of all,
14:26they will play
14:28with her family in Family Feud.
14:34Fight
14:36with Rufa May Quinto's team.
14:42Aside from that,
14:44ready to go back to acting
14:46is Diana.
14:48Now, they have a story conference
14:50for the GMA Prime series
14:52of Batang Riles.
14:54She also took a long break
14:56from acting.
14:58That's why she is looking forward
15:00to the beginning of taping.
15:04Of course, I want to experience
15:06being on set,
15:08taping,
15:10and
15:12being with other actors
15:14because
15:16I haven't experienced it for a long time.
15:18I'm excited.
15:20Diana is also excited
15:22that she can work with
15:24the young stars
15:26of the series.
15:28First of all,
15:30Miguel Tan Felix,

15:54She also played
15:56the character of Sinumpang Diwata,
15:58Lila Sari,
16:00in Encantadia 2016.
16:02I'm happy
16:04because this is the show I came from.
16:06And until now, after almost
16:0820 years,
16:10it will happen again.
16:12And of course,

17:12the news authority of the Philippines,
17:14we learned 24 hours.
