00:00Meralko will implement an additional charge this August.
00:04According to Meralko, the additional charge is P3 per kilowatt hour.
00:08This means that the additional charge is P7 for those consuming 200 kilowatt hours per month
00:14due to the increase in the transmission charge of the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines
00:18after buying a reserve of electricity.
00:21Some are expecting additional charges for the coming months
00:24due to the non-annulment of NGCP transmission charges
00:28and the increase in the price of electricity from some plants purchased by Meralko.
00:32If there is an increase in the price of electricity,
00:34the price of oil will drop starting tomorrow.
00:37The rollback on gas is P2.45 per liter,
00:41P1.90 on diesel,
00:43and P2.40 on kerosene.
00:45One of the reasons is the drop in the amount of oil imported by China
00:49due to the slowdown of its economy.
00:53Pistons and crankshafts will have a stop on Wednesdays until Friday.
00:59Jeepney drivers from Metro Manila, Iloilo, Bacolod, Davao, Southern Tagalog, and Bicol
01:04will be allowed to study the POV modernization program again.
01:08In Metro Manila alone, 35,000 jeepney drivers and operators are expected to join.
01:15Pistons are also planning to go to the Supreme Court.
01:18On the other hand, according to the Department of Transportation,
01:21they will start their pursuit of non-franchises.
01:25President Bongbong Marcos said that the implementation of the POV modernization program
01:31will continue despite the recommendation of the Senate to suspend it first.
01:34For GMA Integrated News, Darlene Cai is your witness.
01:39In their meeting earlier in the Senate,
01:41two independent contractors of GMA emotionally denied
01:45the allegations of abuse against Sandro Mulac.
01:49Witness, Sandra Aguinaldo.
01:54This is the first time in public that two actors accused of sexual harassment,
02:01Richard Cruz, the scriptwriter and creative consultant,
02:05and Giorgio Nones, former consultant and director,
02:08are the independent contractors of GMA Entertainment Group.
02:12In front of the Senate Committee on Public Information and Mass Media,
02:15they denied the accusation that the son of veteran actor Nino Mulac was molested.
02:43We didn't do anything wrong to you and you know that in your heart.
02:47Not all of us will tell the truth.
02:52Two more.
02:54In our long history in the industry,
02:56there has never been a single complaint,
02:59whether it's sexual or anything else,
03:01that was filed against us.
03:03That is why we will not destroy the reputation and career that we care about
03:12so that someone can abuse or harass us.
03:17Especially since we know that the son of a famous artist is influenced by the media.
03:23What is our fight against ordinary workers, against them?
03:29We do not deny that we are gay.
03:32In fact, being gay is one of the reasons why we became creative,
03:37artistic, and had the skills needed in the industry.
03:41We have used our whole life,
03:45being gay, in a proper way,
03:48to protect our families.
03:51They have a call to the public.
03:53In the end, we also asked for justice.
03:56We asked for justice for the malicious way they targeted us.
04:00We can prove to the prosecutor's office that we are not guilty.
04:06We just need to wait for the due process.
04:10While we are waiting for that,
04:12we asked the public not to judge us first.
04:17We will get back to the convicted criminals.
04:21In a question posed by Senator Jingo Estrada,
04:23according to some details of the incident,
04:25the Executive Session asked for the two complaints that were submitted by the committee.
04:30After the Executive Session,
04:33where the conversations were confidential,
04:35this is what some Senators said.
04:37We cannot divulge first yet the details of what transpired during the Executive Session.
04:46But what we all understand right now,
04:49there is a strong evidence against these two gentlemen.
04:57Nino read the text messages of his son Sandro and Nones
05:03at 4 a.m. on July 21,
05:06to show that Nones was the first to message Sandro.
05:10In defense of Nones' lawyer,
05:13they did not deny who was the first to text,
05:15but they did not invite Sandro to the hotel room.
05:19I was bitten while drinking.
05:21Ha ha ha ha.
05:23Jojo told me.
05:25Then Sandro answered,
05:27me too.
05:29Then Jojo answered again.
05:31Yes soon, I will cast you.
05:33I will bring you now.
05:35Jojo told me.
05:37Wow sir, looking forward to that too.
05:39Then Jojo answered again.
05:41Do you want?
05:44We have some alcohol here in the room.
05:46You can order some more.
05:48Sandro told me.
05:50Who are you sir?
05:52Ha ha ha ha.
05:54And then,
05:56Sandro did not reply for a long time.
05:58Of course, the child saw that he was alone,
06:00he did not answer.
06:02It's scary, right?
06:06Okay, so
06:08after a while,
06:10he realized that he did not answer.
06:12Ha ha ha.
06:14Just kidding.
06:16I'm with the drama peeps.
06:18But we're wrapping up in a bit.
06:20Are you still there sir?
06:22Can you come here for a while?
06:24Sure. Are you with someone?
06:26No, just me.
06:28Nino also said that
06:30in their first encounter,
06:32Cruz and Nones apologized to him.
06:34They were crying when they apologized.
06:36They were crying, both of them.
06:38And they even offered
06:40to donate
06:42a certain amount
06:44to a charitable institution of my choice.
06:46What can I say to them?
06:48I'm just a human being.
06:50God knows how to forgive.
06:52I can forgive you, but you need to pay for what you did.
06:54The context is
06:56sorry, but we didn't do anything
06:58bad to your son.
07:00In the next hearing,
07:02Nino will also talk to his son
07:04if he can give his consent to the Senate
07:06even through
07:08videoconferencing.
07:10For GMA Integrated News,
07:12Sandra Aguinaldo is your witness.
07:38Video footage of the vice president
07:40was taken from passengers.
07:42Last week, the vice president
07:44called the officers of the police station
07:46and said that they are not only
07:48investigating the public
07:50of the video footage,
07:52but also
07:54the security.
07:56Duterte also included
07:58one of the longest-running list
08:00of reasons for his
08:02resignation from the President's Office.
08:04According to the budget secretary
08:06of the DepEd,
08:08the budget was increased
08:10this year as part of the support
08:12of the program.
