00:00The Philippines has now announced its intention to get a vaccine against smallpox,
00:05which is now being used in some countries as a battle against mpox.
00:09Witness, Bernadette Reyes.
00:14This is a tear-jerking news.
00:16One of the mpox infected in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in Africa.
00:22The number of cases of mpox has already reached 27,000 since January 2023.
00:28More than 1,000 are in the wake, most of them are children.
00:32Now, the arrival of vaccines is being waited for in the DRC
00:35from the donation of some countries and manufacturers.
00:38In the Philippines, there is no supply of vaccines against mpox.
00:42But the Philippines has now announced its intention to get a vaccine against smallpox.
00:48The virus that causes smallpox came from the same family that was infected by the mpox virus.
00:54Because the crisis is in Africa, I think that's where they are prioritizing the supply of vaccines.
01:00But we are very much interested and we have already signified our intention to the WHO
01:06that once the global strategy has shifted and the distribution of vaccines has started,
01:10the hands of the Philippines are now raised.
01:12A mpox case is now being monitored by the DOH.
01:15The man is 33 years old and is from Metro Manila.
01:19According to the Kasan City Epidemiology and Surveillance Unit,
01:22out of the 28 close contacts that are considered type 1,
01:26the chances of being infected are higher, making it difficult for some to contact them.
01:31We don't know if they are following the home quarantine at this time.
01:36They just don't want to talk to us for whatever reason.
01:40They can't tell us who they really encountered.
01:45So we're asking for their cooperation.
01:50For now, the local government has already written to the SPA's management in Kasan City
01:55on where the mpox patient went, even if they already have symptoms, to get more details.
02:01There are wrong information on the list that was given to them.
02:05There are some that are not consistent because we are looking for some.
02:08According to the Kasan City Epidemiology and Surveillance Unit,
02:11they are diligently monitoring the condition of the close contacts of the 33-year-old mpox patient.
02:17It is important to help the close contacts so that the spread of the disease can be avoided.
02:22The Department of Health is also developing guidelines or health protocols
02:27for businesses that have close contacts with customers,
02:31including parlors, barbershops, and spas.
02:34No one will be left out if they wear gloves and face masks.
02:40Why? Because barbers, stylists, and beauticians have intimate contacts.
02:45Our interest is to continue the business activities
02:49while making sure that health is still the main consideration.
02:53For GMA Integrated News, Bernadette Reyes, your Saksip.
02:5920 houses in Binan, Laguna were burned.
03:03Old Public Market in San Carlos, Pangasinan was also burned.
03:07Saksip, Paul Hernandez of GMA Regional TV.
03:10From 5 a.m. this morning until the sun rose,
03:14it was hard for the fire to be extinguished in the Old Public Market in San Carlos, Pangasinan.
03:20Because the fire started early, the stalls were still closed.
03:25That's why the firefighters opened the stalls.
03:29That's where we get our income.
03:31That's where we get our income from.
03:33Then this canteen is gone.
03:35It's really burned.
03:38Some were already sleeping in their stalls
03:40and the heat from the fire woke them up.
03:43When I went out, it was already smoking on the other side.
03:46Then when I went to my stall, it was also smoking.
03:49Because the doors were open.
03:53No one was hurt or injured.
03:56The LGU is preparing help for those who were burned.
03:59They are still investigating the value of the brush and the firewood.
04:04In Binan, Laguna, not less than 20 houses in Barangay Santo Tomas were burned.
04:0921 families were affected.
04:12No one was hurt or injured.
04:14The houses were mostly made of light materials.
04:19Also, the fire happened in the afternoon.
04:22That's why the wind was strong at that time.
04:25He was watching the short-circuit fire in a house there.
04:28He was watching the short-circuit fire in a house there.
04:34The value of the brush is around 1.5 million pesos.
04:37For GMA Integrated News,
04:39I am Paul Hernandez of GMA Regional TV,
04:42your witness.
04:45GMA Integrated News saw the sale of the brush
04:48that the Philippine Coast Guard ships received
04:51after the Chinese bombed Escoda Shoal.
04:55Our witness is Ian Cruz.
04:57There is a big canopy on the port side
04:59or the left-back side of the Philippine Coast Guard's BRP Bagacay
05:03so that it won't be hit by water.
05:05This canopy was filled by the Chinese Coast Guard's vessel 21551.
05:12This canopy is really big.
05:14Even the railings up there are deformed.
05:18The Coast Guard told us that the two canopies
05:24can accommodate two people.
05:27The railings on the right or the starboard side of the ship
05:30were also damaged.
05:32There are also rocks and rocks on the bow of the ship
05:35because of the Chinese vessel's obstruction.
05:38The BRP Bagacay will go to Patag and Lawak Islands
05:41to deliver essential goods and rotate the troops.
05:45Inside, there is an auxiliary room vent that was also damaged.
05:49There is also damage to the steering room of the ship.
05:53The Chinese Coast Guard removed the BRP Cape and Ganyo
05:57so that the right-back side of the ship was pierced.
06:00This is the worst intentional ramming
06:04that was done by the Chinese Coast Guard
06:07that resulted to such structural damage,
06:10putting holes in our two Coast Guard vessels.
06:13The two multi-role response vessels
06:15that are always in action in the West Philippine Sea
06:17are expected to be repaired immediately.
06:19Last Sunday,
06:21a People's Liberation Army Navy ship
06:23was spotted following our BRP Datu Sanday.
06:27It is part of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources
06:31that conducts maritime patrols in the West Philippine Sea.
06:34The next day, another Chinese Navy vessel
06:37jumped on us.
06:39Its closest distance is estimated to be 100 meters.
06:43PLA Navy vessels always do that,
06:48circling and shadowing,
06:50but they are not doing dangerous maneuvers.
06:53The only thing that does dangerous maneuvers
06:55in the West Philippine Sea
06:57to the point of resulting to collision
07:00and even intentional ramming
07:02is always the Chinese Coast Guard
07:04and sometimes with the participation
07:06also of the Chinese Maritime Militia.
07:08Just this morning,
07:10a Chinese Coast Guard vessel
07:12with a bow number 5103 approached Pag-asa Island.
07:16Not less than 10 Militia vessels
07:18are expected to guard the three sand decays
07:20of Pag-asa Island
07:22conducted by the scientific research
07:24of the UP Institute of Biology.
07:28Professor Jonathan Anticamara hopes
07:30that the protection of the territory
07:32and heritage of the country
07:34will be strengthened.
07:36They should be helping us.
07:38All scientists should be helping
07:40because who will solve this problem?
07:42And how can we solve it
07:44if we don't have good science?
07:46Because we will be surprised now.
07:48So we need accurate information.
07:52Just this afternoon,
07:54the Maritime Patrol again
07:56searched the three vessels of BIFAR
07:58towards the Pag-asa Sand Cays.
08:00This is China Coast Guard vessel 5103.
08:02Your vessels have entered
08:04the area near Chinese Station Yau
08:06with a body by the rows
08:08of the People's Republic of China.
08:11They are now engaging
08:13in illegal activities.
08:15China Coast Guard vessel 5103.
08:17This is BRP Datusanday.
08:19To ensure the safety
08:21and security of our fishing vessels
08:23and the natural resources
08:25within the Philippine AEC over,
08:27which the Republic of Philippines
08:29has sovereign rights,
08:31you must declare overrule.
08:33Chaffer sent
08:35China while patrolling
08:37our troops
08:40here in these Sand Cays.
08:42Their movement
08:44is really low.
08:46Aside from that,
08:48we can see that there are
08:50a lot of militia vessels
08:52of China here.
08:54They also have a Coast Guard vessel there
08:56because it is not far
08:58from Subirip, which is only in that area.
09:00China's chopper
09:02has been watching
09:04the ships of BIFAR for almost an hour.
09:06A Chinese militia vessel
09:09has been spotted
09:11near a ship of BIFAR.
09:13Their Coast Guard
09:15launched their small boat
09:17to monitor our movements
09:19to ensure that our ships
09:21have returned to the island safely.
09:23For GMI Integrated News,
09:25Ian Cruz is your witness.
09:33President Bambang Marcos

09:53and is not part of the team.

09:57incentive that the previous
09:59Olympians received.
