00:00Good morning. Here are the first news brought to you by GMA Integrated News.

00:19PCSO General Manager Mel Robles has announced that the government will reduce the fees for the doctors' professional fees.

00:32The agency will be responsible for this part.

00:35The patient or their family member will have to submit the necessary documents.

00:40After that, PCSO will issue a guarantee letter for the doctor's professional fee.

00:47The guidelines are being adjusted for now. The target is to implement this from October 13.

00:53Financial assistance for distressed overseas Filipino workers has also been added under the Department of Migrant Workers.

01:02Under this, there is an action fund that can help OFWs who are in the middle of a crisis or economic downturn in other countries

01:10or who are victims of human trafficking and other situations.

01:13The action fund can be used if OFWs need legal assistance, financial or repatriation or evacuation.

01:22The Government Service Insurance System or GSIS has approved their restructuring program for service loans or RPSL until May 19, 2025, according to GSIS.

01:35This will help those who received a loan to have a longer term to pay.

01:40They can also apply through GSIS or through their app, GSIS Touch, and other mobile banking apps.

01:49PINOY PRIDE is celebrating the victory of the athletes who competed in the 2024 Paris Olympics.

02:04The supporters are excited to see that the Philippine nationals are celebrating the victory of the athletes.

02:12We have first news from Sandra Aguinaldo.

02:16Athletes, be quiet. Let's all say, Eyyyy!

02:27With the cheering of the athletes and the dancing while at the Heroes Welcome Parade,

02:34the joy of the Olympians will be felt for their hard-earned acceptance.

02:40In the afternoon, there will be a greeting from those who are waiting in the Alley Theater.

02:46That's why the Philippine Olympians are eager to join the float.

02:52They will also have a game to take a selfie with those who are waiting for them.

02:57We are very happy because this is our way to greet the Philippines.

03:03More fun in the Philippines.

03:04We are also happy because we saw him and YOLO.

03:09The parade started in different streets of Manila.

03:12And there were a lot of people joining the parade.

03:15There were a lot of people waving the Philippine flag.

03:18The nationals are proud that they were able to participate in the 2024 Paris Olympics.

03:24Others sold their items to the float.

03:28T-shirts, jackets, tumblers, balls, even bags and shoes for the athletes to sign.

03:37Paul Volter, EJ of Vienna, was not part of the parade because he had to leave for a competition on August 21.

03:46One of the people who waited for the parade was the father of the double gold Olympic medalist Carlos YOLO, Mark Andrew.

03:55There were two banners that said,

03:58Caloy, your father is here.

04:00Carlos' father was carrying a few people while cheering for his son.

04:05At the same time, Caloy waved, gave thumbs up and followed the direction of his father on social media.

04:13Carlos posted that he was happy to see his father at the parade.

04:18He also apologized that he was not waving a lot because a lot of people were asking for an autograph.

04:24A lot of the supporters of Carlos YOLO who waited for the parade were student athletes.

04:31One of them is Gio Mislang.

04:33He fought in the track and field in Nueva Ecija and has been a fan of Carlos YOLO for a long time.

04:40I was so inspired by his training, how he got up, how he fought in his training.

04:48Even if I am just a simple player, I give my best in every training so that I can use the gold medal.

04:56According to Cynthia Carrion, President and Gymnastics Association of the Philippines,

05:01she is now joining the Gymnastics Olympic Team in Los Angeles in 2028.

05:08She is with the two brothers of YOLO.

05:12I'm going to have a team.

05:13Not only Carlos YOLO, I want a whole team.

05:16Philippine team.

05:20This is the first news.

05:22Sandra Aguinaldo for GMA Integrated News.

05:29After the Heroes Parade, there was a program at Rizal Memorial Sports Complex for the Filipino Olympians.

05:35There, the Filipino Olympians thanked those who supported them in the past Olympics.

05:40They promised to do better in the upcoming matches.

05:44According to the young athletes, they will continue their dream and will not give up.

05:51I am very proud of those who are standing here beside me.

05:56The motivation that I get from them and what I learn from them is amazing.

06:03They are all very inspiring.

06:07We will do better in the upcoming competitions.

06:10And you can expect that we will get more medals.

06:16Thank you very much to all of you.

06:18God bless us all.

06:20We are very thankful for your support and prayers.

06:25Especially to those who watched us early in the morning here in the Philippines.

06:30Thank you very much.

06:32To all the youths who are aiming to follow our steps here in front of you.

06:40Do not stop yourself.

06:43Do not stop yourself from achieving your dreams.

06:46Always remember,

06:48in every failure of the Lord,

06:51the Lord's plan is always better than ours.

06:57Before the Heroes Parade, the Philippine Olympians were introduced to the camera.

07:03The athletes asked for additional support from the government

07:07for the training facilities and other needs of the sports sector.

07:12The athletes promised that they will continue to work hard to get back their medals.

07:17According to House Speaker Martin Romualdez,

07:19they will study the laws on the benefits of athletes and their coaches.

07:25They will help the Philippine Sports Commission,

07:28the Philippine Olympic Committee, and the athletes for their recommendations.

07:34We won. We all won.

07:37There's no stop. There's no stop.

07:40The World Health Organization declared MPAHCS as a Global Public Health Emergency

07:45or previously known as MonkeyPAHCS.

07:47This is one of the many cases of MPAHCS in the Democratic Republic of Congo

07:52and other nearby countries.

07:54MPAHCS also discussed whether it should be declared as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern

08:00to speed up research, funding, and public health measures.

08:04MPAHCS can be obtained through direct contact with body fluids.

08:09It has symptoms such as flu and wound or skin lesion.

08:15This is the second time that MPAHCS became a Global Public Health Emergency within two years.

08:20The Department of Health was alerted following the declaration of the WHO.

08:25According to the DOH, the number of cases of MPAHCS in the Philippines remains the same.

08:30Four of them were recorded in 2022 and five of them were recorded last year.

08:35There were no new cases of MPAHCS in the Philippines since December of last year.

08:40To stop the spread of African Swine Fever in Metro Manila,

08:44ASF Inspection Sites located the Department of Agriculture in several places in Metro Manila.

08:50Live from Quezon City, we have the first news of James Agustin.

08:55James.

08:59This is a gun that was found here in Edza, Balintawak, Quezon City,

09:02at the inspection sites that were located by the authorities since yesterday.

09:06The authorities are strictly inspecting the sites,

09:10especially the closed van and truck that are loaded with pork.

09:17The Bureau of Animal Industry, Quezon City Veterinary Department,

09:22and the Police are helping the closed van and truck in Edza, Balintawak, Quezon City.

09:28Their target is to inspect livestock, poultry, and meat products as a precaution against African Swine Fever.

09:35As for the trucks that are loaded with pork from Quezon City and will be delivered to Bulacan City,

09:42there is a shipping permit that was shown to the driver.

09:45The pork was inspected to see if it has symptoms of ASF.

09:49It was also checked to see if the number of pigs on the permit is correct.

09:53There was no problem, so the truck was also removed.

09:56For us, there is no problem. As long as our papers are complete, we are not worried.

10:01The two closed vans do not have a shipping permit.

10:04They are loaded with eggs that will be delivered to Bulacan and Pampanga,

10:07so they were not allowed to leave.

10:10There are closed vans that do not have meat, so they were also removed immediately.

10:14The driver was able to understand the little hassle of the inspection.

10:18It's okay, sir. It's for the people.

10:21It's for the people here. It's also for us.

10:26The inspection is okay.

10:29It's good. It's for the health of the people.

10:32Some of the trucks are loaded with office supplies.

10:35There are also houseware products that will be delivered to Ilocos Norte.

10:39There are four inspection sites in Quezon City.

10:42There are also four in Valenzuela, Laguna, Batangas and Cavite.

10:51Meanwhile, this is what the inspection sites of the authorities look like.

10:55You can see the tents.

10:58There are also cockroaches.

11:00There are 24 hours of monitoring and inspection here.

11:03The inspectors are divided into three shifts.

11:07As we mentioned earlier, the two closed vans that were loaded with eggs

11:12were returned to the point of origin of the authorities

11:15after they were not able to show and present their shipping permit.

11:20That's the first news from Quezon City.

11:22I'm James Agustin for JEMA Integrated News.

11:27Let's go back to the traffic situation in Camuning Flyover.

11:30It was reopened to the motorists.

11:33According to the DPWH, they are planning to fix it under the bridge.

11:38EJ Gomez has the first news live. EJ?

11:46Susan, the motorists can now cross the southbound lane

11:50of the Edsa Camuning Flyover here in Quezon City.

11:52It was opened by MMDA and DPWH at 6 a.m.

11:57The barriers were removed and posters were placed

12:01that the flyover is now passable to all types of vehicles.

12:09The flyover was closed on May 1 to give way

12:12to fix the structural integrity of the flyover.

12:16The reopening of the Edsa Camuning Flyover is two months earlier

12:20than the timeline stated by the government.

12:22According to MMDA and DPWH officials,

12:25the flyover is strong and meets the standards

12:28as a preparation for the big one if it ever happens.

12:31They explained that the repair on the top is already done.

12:34They will just fix the bottom in the coming weeks.

12:38They also added that they have a proposal

12:40to pave the road on the top to make the surface even.

12:47It will be opened early, two months ahead of schedule

12:51for our countrymen to pass through.

12:54We will do more on the bottom.

12:57The carbon fiber sheets will be added.

13:01Now, we will add the chain-type restrainers

13:06to make sure that during a strong earthquake,

13:10the substructure and superstructure of the flyover will not be separated.

13:22At this point, Susan, a lot of cars and motorcycles

13:26are passing through the flyover.

13:28Motorists are just running straight ahead.

13:31That's the first news from Quezon City,

13:34DJ Gomez for GMA Integrated News.

13:37In the four-year preparation for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics,

13:42President Bongbong Marcos decided to give additional support to Filipino athletes.

13:47The government will draft a system to provide the athletes with proper training.

13:52They will be told what the athletes need.

13:56The Chamber will review the current laws

13:59to give more benefits to the athletes and their coaches.

14:04In the last two Olympics,

14:06the Philippines was the first in the medal tally in Southeast Asia.

14:10The Philippine Olympic Committee believes that our athletes can go further.

14:16The POC says that the participation of Filipino athletes in more international competitions

14:21and the recruitment of foreign coaches will contribute to their ability.

14:28We can hire from developed countries, more developed countries.

14:33For foreign coaches.

14:36And look at the result.

14:40We broke the record.

14:43For two consecutive Olympics, we were number one in Southeast Asia.

14:49The former Mamban Tarlac Mayor, Alice Guo, is facing a lot of complaints.

14:53She filed a tax evasion complaint with the Bureau of Internal Revenue

14:57against Guo regarding her role in the illegal smuggling in Mamban.

15:01Salima Refran has the first news.

15:08One day after the Ombudsman dismissed Alice Guo as the Mayor of Mamban Tarlac,

15:13tax evasion was added to her complaints

15:17because of her role in Pugo in the Baufu compound in Mamban Tarlac.

15:21In the complaint filed by the BIR to the Department of Justice,

15:24the one who paid the capital gains tax and documentary stamp tax to Guo

15:29was not the one who sold the shares in Baufu Land Development when the Mayor of Mamban ran away.

15:34It is very clear that this transaction has a tax evasion complaint.

15:39The value of the shares that she sold is small,

15:43so the amount is around P500,000.

15:47According to the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission of Paok,

15:50Guo sold her 2.5 million shares in 2021 for P1 per share.

15:57The shares that Guo and the Corporate Secretary of Baufu Land were selling are also included in the complaint.

16:03The cases are multidimensional, but definitely there is a narrative there that will have to come out in the end.

16:11So that's the job now of the law enforcement agencies to help us with the connections within

16:19so that the narrative can be completed.

16:21According to Guo's lawyer, they will be given time to accept the statement in accordance with one of the complaints of the BIR.

16:27In accordance with the dismissal of the Ombudsman to Guo,

16:30his lawyer was saddened that the Ombudsman did not approve of their argument.

16:35But they are already preparing a motion for reconsideration that they need to appeal to the Court of Appeals.

16:42This is the second criminal complaint against Guo.

16:45He is also facing a Qualified Human Trafficking Complaint here in the Department of Justice

16:50related to the raids on Zuniwan Technology in March this year.

16:54Aside from the Co-Warranto case and the cancellation of the birth certificate issued by the Office of the Solicitor General

17:01and the material misrepresentation case in Comelec.

17:05According to Comelec Chairman George Garcia, the Ombudsman's order is immediately executory

17:10except if he can get a temporary restraining order from the Court of Appeals.

17:15So even if he can file a Certificate of Candidacy for the next election,

17:19Comelec will cancel it.

17:21The dismissal of the Ombudsman to Guo is close to the three-month suspension of the 12 officials of Bambad, including the Vice Mayor.

17:29The member of the Sangguniang Bayan is also like that.

17:32That's why the municipality will let Councilor Eranio Timbang run first.

17:36He is the councilor of Sangguniang Bayan but he opposed the permit.

17:44And because of this, since he opposed, he was absolved or acquitted by the Ombudsman.

17:53It's sad that we were exposed to this method.

17:57But as they say, everything is God's plan.

18:04This is the first news in five sentences for JMA Integrated News.

18:09The House Committee on Appropriations approved the reports of the Commission on Audit

18:15and Confidential Funds of the Office of the Vice President and the Department of Education.

18:20This is for the fiscal year 2022-2023, when Vice President Sara Duterte led the two offices.

18:27According to the Committee on Appropriations, they want to know if the use of the CF of the two offices is correct.

18:34The first issue was the Confidential Funds. After the 2022 report of the COA,

18:39the OVP spent P125 million in just 11 days.

18:45The OVP also withdrew P500 million from the CF in 2023, but he didn't continue it.

18:53JMA Integrated News is trying to get a statement from the Vice President regarding the use of the CF.

18:58First, the Vice President stated that there is no irregularity in the spending of P125 million in 2022.

19:04Last week, the Vice President mentioned an issue with the budget.

19:08This is one of the reasons why he resigned from the DepEd.

19:12VP Duterte tried to correct what he saw as wrong, but he didn't receive support and he didn't see any change.

19:24The number of Filipinos who are happy with the performance of the Senate is low based on the latest survey of social weather stations.

19:32In the survey conducted from June 23 to July 1, the net satisfaction rating of the Senate is very good, plus 50.

19:40It's lower than their plus 55 rating last March.

19:45The net rating of the Camera is plus 41 or good.

19:48It's lower than their plus 45 rating last March.

19:53The net rating of the Supreme Court is plus 41 or good.

19:58It's lower than the plus 46 rating last March.

20:01The net rating of President Bongbong Marcos' cabinet is also good, plus 47.

20:071,500 Filipinos responded to the survey.

20:10JMA Integrated News is trying to get a statement from the agencies in the survey.

20:19So Ms. Chika, will there be a collab between the two award-winning superstars?

20:31That's the new music teaser of Mother Monster, Lady Gaga.

20:35A lot of people noticed her wearing a t-shirt that has the face of Bruno Mars.

20:39Netizens pointed out that it's a hint of a collab between the two for Lady Gaga's upcoming album.

20:46It's getting more heated because a while ago, Bruno posted a picture wearing Lady Gaga's Born This Way merch.

20:58London Swifties in the United Kingdom are ready for the continuation of Taylor Swift's The Era's Tour.

21:06Securities in Wembley Stadium closed the venue of Taylor's five London shows.

21:11Now, Taylor will return to the ERA's Tour stage after her three shows in Vienna, Austria and in the face of terrorism were canceled.

21:19Along with the tight security in London, the ban on Taygating or gathering of fans outside the venue like what happened in Munich, Germany.

21:41.
