00:00There are 43 stores that were booked by the Department of Trade and Industry that fell under the price freeze imposed in places that are in a state of calamity.

00:21More than 300 types of products did not meet the right price based on the agency's assessment.

00:28This is the first news of Bernadette Reyes.

00:34Due to the effects of Hurricane Katrina and the super typhoon Karina in the past few months,

00:38some places were placed under the state of calamity where the price freeze was in effect or the price of the main goods did not move.

00:46But according to the assessment of the Department of Trade and Industry, 43 stores were affected by the price freeze.

00:53The DTI sent them a notice of violation and explained that

00:57more than 370 types of products were sold that did not meet the right price.

01:04Acting Trade Secretary Maria Cristina Roque visited Guadalupe Market and a grocery store to make sure that the right price was met.

01:12Metro Manila was also affected by the price freeze.

01:15All of these are in compliance. For those consumers who want to buy cheaper prices,

01:20I take advantage of the price freeze so that we can buy at a lower price.

01:27Until September 24, the price freeze will be in effect for the main goods here in Metro Manila.

01:32According to the DTI, this is a big help in budgeting the buyers

01:36and can also avoid the unimaginable increase in the price.

01:40This is a big help. It also adds to the budget.

01:43In the store of Marlin, the price was not increased because of the price freeze.

01:48As long as each item, no matter how we grow, we can do it.

01:54This is the first news. Bernadette Reyes for GMA Integrated News.

02:00Fish and shellfish from Cavite are safe to eat according to the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources or BFAR.

02:08This is based on the results of the sensory evaluation in the water following the oil spill incident in Lake Bataan.

02:15In a budget hearing in Camara Inatasan, BFAR gave a copy of their investigation to the Cavite Provincial Government.

02:22Cavite is in a state of calamity because of the oil spill.

02:26Cavite Governor John V. Cremulia said that the livelihood of 31,000 fishermen is affected

02:33and that they are selling fish because of the oil spill.

02:37Approved by the Senate Committee, the Vice President's budget for 2025 is more than Php2 billion.

02:45In the middle of the hearing, Vice President Sara Duterte and Senator Risa Ontiveros answered.

02:52Here's the first news, Marisol Abduraman.

02:58In the more than Php2 billion of the 2025 proposed budget of the Office of the Vice President,

03:03some asked Senator Risa Ontiveros to Vice President Sara Duterte.

03:08Will the OVP consider it?

03:10They put the funds for the OVP projects in the line agencies.

03:14There are also other agencies, such as medical, financial and education assistance.

03:19So that it will be in sync with the priorities of the Executive Department

03:23instead of having a separation, but a similar program.

03:28Vice President said that she experienced that when she is involved in other agencies,

03:32their budget is being politicized.

03:34When we are being referred or given endorsement by AICS in DSWD,

03:44most of the time, the answer we get is no, because it came from the Office of the Vice President.

03:51Sometimes, it is true that the assistance is being politicized for our fellow countrymen.

04:00But the two were angry when Ms. Ontiveros asked about the contents of the children's book

04:05written by the Vice President and will spend Php10 million to distribute to the students.

04:11Madam Chair, this is an example of politicizing the budget hearing through the questions of a senator.

04:21The problem is that my name is on the book.

04:25And we will give that book to the children.

04:29And those children have parents who will vote.

04:33And my name is spread wherever the book will be given.

04:40Madam Chair, I cannot understand the attitude of our resource person.

04:45It is a simple question.

04:47Again and again, this is politicizing.

04:51The VP mentioned the word vote.

04:54I did not say vote.

04:56Usually, our resource persons give the same institutional courtesy to the legislature that we give to the executive.

05:06I don't appreciate this kind of attitude.

05:08I also cannot understand the attitude of Senator Riza Ontiveros.

05:12And I do not appreciate, what did she say?

05:15I do not appreciate this kind of behavior and attitude.

05:26Madam Chair, in 2016, Senator Riza Ontiveros ran as a senator.

05:32How many times did he lose?

05:34Two, Madam Chair.

05:35Okay, two.

05:36He was afraid of his third loss, so he went to Davao.

05:42He asked for help.

05:44When he won, what did he do?

05:46He was the first to attack President Rodrigo Duterte.

05:51What do you call this kind of behavior?

05:54This is where Finance Committee Chairperson Senator Grace came in.

05:58The VP was asked about his security.

06:00What is the status?

06:02How many securities were removed?

06:04It was a targeted list.

06:05It was a political move.

06:06It was political harassment.

06:08In the last session of the committee, the OVP asked for a budget of Php 2.037 billion.

06:14But before the hearing ends, the Vice-President has something to say.

06:18We would like to thank all the honorable members of the Senate for doing your work here in the Senate of the Philippines.

06:27Except, just kidding.

06:30Good afternoon.

06:32She's really a VP.

06:34Consistent, Madam Chair.

06:35After the hearing, the Vice-President went to politics to talk to the media,

06:40particularly about the impeachment complaint against him.

06:44They talked, even if they denied it, the members of the House of Representatives talked.

06:51It's openly discussed, the impeachment.

06:56What do they want to do?

06:58They want to bring down the Duterte family in politics.

07:03And not only in politics, but also in person.

07:06They included my husband, right?

07:08He's a private individual, but they included him in their harassment.

07:13She's not afraid of being impeached.

07:15She really has no plan to run as a VP,

07:18if not for the help of her brother, Senator Aimee and President Bongbong Marcos.

07:24They said, we will not win

07:27if you don't help us in Mindanao and Visayas.

07:33If they ask me to leave or impeach me,

07:38it's not up to me.

07:40When asked if she blames President Marcos for helping,

07:48Do I regret helping?

07:52Do you want to answer the question?

07:54Or do you know the answer?

07:56This is the first news.

07:58Marisol Abduraman for GMA Integrated News.

08:02The National Maritime Council is studying the harassment of complaints against China

08:06after the two Philippine Coast Guard ships in Sabina and Escoda Shoals were wrecked.

08:11The harassment of the new diplomatic protest,

08:14or the filing of complaints to the United Nations, was also included in the investigation.

08:17Some of the BRP Bagacay and BRP Cape Engaño were damaged and destroyed

08:21by China Coast Guard ships this Monday.

08:24A few hours after the wreckage,

08:26CCG and the Chinese militia surrounded the BRP Teresa Magbanwa in Escoda Shoals.

08:32Along with the PCG, five rubber boats and three speedboats surrounded the BRP Teresa Magbanwa.

08:39Not far away, several Chinese ships were killed.

08:42The PCG is now studying their resupply mission to the BRP Teresa Magbanwa.

08:48As far as our enforcement is concerned,

08:51all of this is in accordance with the UNCLOS and of course the 2016 Arbitral Award.

08:56They are so afraid with their own narrative that we are reinforcing,

09:00we are going to reinforce our presence in Escoda Shoals

09:04and deploy additional vessels here for the BRP Teresa Magbanwa.

09:10Breaking news.

09:12The budget is tight.

09:14The price of pork is up to Php30 per kilo in Mega Q Mart.

09:19If the egg is included in your market list,

09:22the budget will increase because the price is getting worse.

09:26Live from Quezon City, we have the first news.

09:28EJ Gomez. EJ.

09:32Egan, here in Mega Q Mart in Quezon City,

09:36each piece of the biggest egg, or jumbo size,

09:40has almost reached Php10,

09:42while each kilo of pork has dropped to Php30.

09:50Over the past few weeks, the price of eggs has started to rise.

09:55According to the sellers, it is because of the lack of supply from their customers.

10:00Most of the eggs that are sold in Mega Q Mart are from Antipolo and Batangas.

10:05Small, medium, large.

10:07It has been rising for the past three weeks,

10:09but the medium is rising faster because the demand is faster.

10:12Maybe it's because of the food.

10:14The food from the farm might be expensive.

10:17The price of each piece of all kinds of eggs was increased by more than Php1.

10:21Each piece of the smallest egg can be bought for Php7.70

10:26or Php231 per tray.

10:29The medium is Php8 per piece,

10:32and Php240 per tray.

10:34The difference of each large-sized egg to the medium-sized egg is Php20.

10:39One tray is Php246.

10:42The jumbo, or biggest egg, is Php9.30 now.

10:47If you will buy a tray, you will spend Php279.

10:51Meanwhile, over the past few weeks,

10:53the price of pork has dropped.

10:56The price of pork has dropped to Php30 per kilo of pork,

11:00depending on the type of pork.

11:01The pork belly, for example, is now Php350,

11:04which used to be Php380 per kilo.

11:07The pork kasim is now Php300,

11:09which used to be Php310.

11:11The pork chop is now Php310.

11:14Rowena is getting supplies from Bulacan.

11:17We heard that there is a disease in Batangas.

11:21That is why, even though our pork is good,

11:25we are also affected by the good sellers.

11:30Flora, who owns a butcher shop,

11:32says that buying pork is worth it.

11:34Now, the price of pork has dropped.

11:36But when it comes to eggs...

11:38Sometimes, I buy eggs.

11:41Because it's expensive.

11:42But the kids like it.

11:44They just look at it.

11:51According to the egg sellers we talked to earlier,

11:54even though the price has gone up,

11:56there is almost no change in demand.

11:58It's still strong and many people are still buying

12:01because it's a staple, especially in the breakfast of Filipinos.

12:05The meat vendors said that they will force

12:08to lower their prices even more,

12:10especially when the afternoon comes.

12:12It's okay.

12:13The average income is just enough to sell their products.

12:18And that was the first news from Mega Q Mart in Quezon City.

12:21EJ Gomez for GMA Integrated News.

12:26There is something fishy.

12:28That is what President Bumbong Marcos will find out

12:30if the former Bamban Tarlac, Mayor Alice Guo,

12:32has really left the country.

12:35According to the President,

12:36Guo's departure shows corruption

12:39that weakens the justice system of the country

12:42and the trust of the public.

12:44The investigation is underway to find out

12:46who helped the former mayor to leave

12:49and to make him answer to the law.

12:52Guo has an arrest warrant from the Senate

12:54because he did not comply with the hearings.

12:57He is also facing a complaint of qualified human trafficking

13:00under the raid of Pogo in Bamban.

13:03Second, the documents released by Senator Arisa Ontiveros

13:06show that Guo has already left the country.

13:09Guo's lawyer, Attorney Stephen David,

13:13said that Guo stayed in the Philippines

13:15based on their conversation this Monday.

13:17He admitted that he did not personally see his client.

13:24Two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo

13:27visited the GMA Network.

13:29In the interview of GMA Integrated News,

13:31Golden Boy remembered and thanked

13:33those who helped him to win the Paris Olympics.

13:36We have the first news from Pia Arcangel.

13:43Fit for a two-time Olympic gold medalist.

13:46A grand Kapuso welcome to Carlos Yulo at the GMA compound.

13:51Yulo was with the Gymnastics Association of the Philippines

13:54President Cynthia Carion.

13:56They were accompanied by GMA executives

13:58led by President and Chief Executive Officer Gilberto R. Duavit Jr.,

14:03Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Felipe S. Yalong,

14:07Senior Vice President Attorney Annette Gozon Valdez,

14:10Senior Vice President and Head of GMA Integrated News,

14:13Regional TV and Synergy, Oliver Victor B. Amoroso.

14:16Outstanding, can I say.

14:18Very proud and very grateful for the opportunity

14:22to personally meet him and congratulate him and thank him.

14:26To thank him for the inspiration and the strength he brings us all.

14:31The hope he brings to everybody.

14:33The whole company is so proud of what Yulo achieved.

14:39So, like GMA, one of our core values is excellence

14:44and he excelled that.

14:46So, we're so proud.

14:48For Carlos, everything that happens to him is still like a dream

14:53after the historic victory in the Paris Olympics.

14:56In the Olympics, I just want to win a medal.

15:01And the medal itself, I've been dreaming of it since I was 12 years old.

15:07So, I'm super grateful for my journey.

15:10Carlos told us how he felt about his floor exercise routine.

15:14Before I started on the floor, I saw that I was 14.9,

15:18plus the score of my competitor.

15:21I was like, I'll just focus on myself.

15:24And then, I showed what I practiced.

15:28I did it.

15:29So, I'm really happy.

15:31But I didn't know that I would go gold.

15:35It seems like the vault is harder for Carlos

15:38where he also won a gold medal.

15:41One of the people who helped him here

15:43is a fellow gymnast and Filipino-British,

15:45Jake Jarman of Team Great Britain,

15:48whom he considers a close friend.

15:51In my second vault, it was really hard for me.

15:54He wasn't consistent.

15:56So, I asked Jake to teach me.

15:58When I went home, I mean, when I went to the training camp.

16:02He really helped me with his technique.

16:07I told him to teach me more.

16:09Jake agreed.

16:11Yeah!

16:13In his career, Carlos has been in many trainings.

16:16He also gave a message to his Japanese coach,

16:19Munehiro Kugimiya,

16:21as well as to the people who helped him get used to Japan.

16:24Thank you for your support.

16:28Thank you very much.

16:32What does that mean?

16:34Thank you for your support.

16:36And from the heart,

16:38I thank you all.

16:41Carlos is very happy with his return.

16:44He bonded with other athletes from Team Philippines.

16:47I'm really excited to see AJ.

16:50I know he had a hard time joining this.

16:54I'm super proud of what he did.

16:56I really respect our athletes.

17:01They inspire me.

17:05Carlos did not expect a grand homecoming parade.

17:08Just now, they are preparing for the 2028 Olympics.

17:13If we can, we can do it.

17:15I want him not to go alone,

17:17but to have a team of four other gymnasts.

17:20I'm trying to look now for a foreign coach.

17:24In the return of the golden hero of gymnastics in the country,

17:27many are hoping that this will be the example of the golden era,

17:31not just of Philippine gymnastics.
