00:00This morning, here are the first news brought to you by GMI Integrated News.
00:18The Armed Forces of the Philippines was victorious in delivering supplies to soldiers guarding Escoda or Sabina Shoal.
00:26They carried out an airdrop mission to BRP Teresa Magbanwa via helicopter to AOP Chief-of-Staff General Romeo Browner, Jr.
00:35This is what they saw as an alternative way to distribute supplies after several times of Chinese ships being blocked
00:42in the resupply mission of BRP Cabra and BRP Cape Engaño.
00:47At the press conference of the Armed Forces of the Philippines and US Indo-Pacific Command,
00:53Browner said that AFP will use all their resources to succeed in the rotation and resupply missions.
01:00If necessary, they will ask for help from the United States.
01:03According to US Indo-Pacific Command Admiral Samuel Paparo, Jr., they are ready to provide assistance in the RORE missions.
01:11China Coast Guard was victorious in the airdrop mission of AFP to BRP Teresa Magbanwa.
01:18This is an attack on China's sovereignty because their territory is the Shanbin Reef.
01:23China is warning the Philippines to stop their risky behavior, remove the ship and don't make the situation worse.
01:31AFP has not yet issued a statement on this issue, but it has already denied that the Philippines has a right to the Escoda Shoal
01:38because it is included in the exclusive economic zone of the country.
01:43Today, the vaccination against African Swine Fever will start in some villages in the country.
01:51The first to be vaccinated is Lobo, Batangas, which is one of the first to declare an outbreak of ASF and is considered a red zone.
02:00The vaccines used are part of the 10,000 doses that are included in the emergency procurement of the government.
02:06600,000 vaccines were ordered by the Philippines from Vietnam.
02:11According to the latest report of the Department of Agriculture, more than 450 villages are affected by African Swine Fever.
02:18They say that pork is still safe to eat.
02:21Just look for the National Meat Inspection Service Seal to buy from the market.
02:27The Department of National Defense asked for an increase in their budget to speed up the construction of infrastructure in the West Philippine Sea
02:36and to have military assets.
02:39We have first news from Chino Gaston.
02:45The strengthening of infrastructure and the addition of military assets of the country
02:51to defend sovereignty and rights in their own Exclusive Economic Zone or EEZ
02:57is what the Defense Secretary said in a budget hearing in the House of Representatives.
03:00When China started doing its illegal acts
03:08and other actors started to harden their presence years before,
03:13we should have already also pushed investments into creating forward posts in the area
03:21and that would have hardened our posture.
03:25So the lesson, Your Honor, is we procrastinated in putting aside the threat.
03:33We should have done it immediately at that time.
03:37And now we should do it double time where we can.
03:41Secretary Tudoro explained that the target is not war but deterrence
03:46or the disengagement of any country that will attack the Philippines.
03:51But funds are needed to commit the deterrence that is being assumed, according to some lawmakers.
03:57We restore the Php51 billion that is needed by Secretary Guevo and the entire DND
04:04to fight on and be able to preserve our sovereignty and national territory.
04:09With the requested Php245 billion in the 2025 budget of the DND for the AFP modernization,
04:16Php75 billion was given under the National Expenditure Program.
04:21Php50 billion here is just a payment for the debt to the bought frigates,
04:26landing dock ships, and missile batteries.
04:29What's left will go to the AFP's priority projects
04:33such as the armament of Philippine Navy ships and the construction of new port and naval facilities.
04:39A lot of this will go to upgrading the connectivity of our command and control
04:47to the naval vessels and the capabilities weapon-wise of our naval ships.
04:55But also, Your Honor, it's the construction really of adequate port facilities for the Navy
05:04because we have eight or ten vessels arriving.
05:07Teodoro was also asked about its proposal to expand the scope of the U.S.-Philippines Mutual Defense Treaty
05:15including the possible inclusion of U.S. warships in resupply missions.
05:20It just adds one option to us.
05:23It is one option in our toolkit that we can use in case it is necessary.
05:29However, that proposal will have to go to the National Maritime Council
05:36and be discussed in the council and approved if ever.
05:41How to make the Mutual Defense Treaty interpretation more dynamic
05:49to address threats that we may not even foresee?
05:52For example, cyber threats, Madam Chair, and other threats that China, which knows no rules, may employ.
06:01Some of the estimated costs of buying 40 multirole fighter jets
06:06and command and control communication system
06:08can be bought under 500 million U.S. dollars of foreign military financing from America.
06:16This is the first news. Chino Gaston for GMA Integrated News.
06:21Today, the vaccination against African Swine Fever of the Department of Agriculture has been arranged.
06:27They are hoping that the vendors in Metro Manila will be able to help in their sale that will be sold out today.
06:33And live from Manila, we have the first news, James Agustin. James.
06:42Van, good morning.
06:43The vendors of pork have admitted that they have been severely affected by the issue of African Swine Fever or ASF.
06:49Here in the Blue Man Trade Market in Manila, the price of pork has dropped from Php 20 to Php 40 per kilo.
06:58Authorities are still strictly monitoring the inspection sites against African Swine Fever or ASF,
07:04like in Laloma in Quezon City.
07:06Trucks with pork loads are being stopped for inspection.
07:10Permits are being checked.
07:12They are also checking if the pork has symptoms of ASF.
07:15Ronel, who will deliver 105 pigs in Laloma, was also informed.
07:19They passed six inspection sites.
07:22It's okay to stop the spread of ASF so that it will be easier for the victims of ASF to recover and recover again.
07:39It's a bit risky, but there's no problem. Our role is complete.
07:44The vendors of pork have admitted that they have been affected by the issue of ASF.
07:49The price of pork has dropped in the Blue Man Trade Market in Manila.
07:52Php 360 per kilo of pork compared to Php 400 last week.
07:57Php 320 per kilo of pork, like Kasim, Porkchop and Pigue, is lower compared to Php 340 last week.
08:06Php 20 per kilo of bones and legs can be bought for Php 280.
08:12The ASF has increased, so the price has decreased.
08:15But in total, the price hasn't changed compared to others.
08:23It's just that it has been affected by the disease.
08:27How are you going to sell it?
08:29It's okay. How can I sell it?
08:33When Maileen insured her pigs, she was able to eat the pork she was selling.
08:38In fact, she has a meat inspection certificate that she was given at the site.
08:42They are safe from the pork that we sell.
08:45It went through an inspection before it was delivered to us.
08:50Because the pork is now infected, it needs to go through an inspection.
08:56Some of the people we talked to said that they are more concerned about the pork they buy in the market.
09:01I buy pork from my regular clients.
09:05We have pigs.
09:07I don't use frozen meat.
09:13You can see the size and the quality control.
09:20The Department of Agriculture will start the vaccination against ASF today.
09:25The pigs in Lobo, Batangas were the first to declare an outbreak of ASF.
09:35Van, the DA said that one of the things we should look at is the meat inspection certificate
09:40that he usually gives to his clients because they can be assured that the pork they sell went through an inspection
09:48and it came from Lehitimong slaughterhouse.
09:51That's the first news. From Manila, I'm James Agustin for Gemma Integrated News.
09:56We are still here at IA Terminal 3 to repeat the additional measures and measures of our government,
10:06particularly the measures to prevent the spread of MFOX cases in our country.
10:13As of now, the total number of MFOX cases in our country has increased to 14 since July 2022.
10:21As of now, according to the Department of Health, there are already five active cases.
10:28As of now, the two new cases, the MFOX case number 13 is a 26-year-old woman from Metro Manila
10:36and the MFOX case number 14 is a 12-year-old patient from Calabar Zone.
10:43As of now, both are in home quarantine as a part of caution and to prevent the spread of MFOX here in our country.
10:51As mentioned, the screening of passengers entering and leaving our country has been tightened.
10:58We have with us Assistant Secretary Albert Domingo, the spokesperson of the Department of Health here.
11:06Assistant Secretary, good morning.
11:09Good morning Maris, good morning to all the viewers listening to us.
11:18All right. Asec, first of all, before, we already have a health form that we are signing and answering.
11:23What is the difference or additional requirement that the electronic health form must be answered for those entering and leaving our country?
11:33Maris, the number of questions that will be answered in our health declaration form is already included in the e-travel app or the website that our government is using.
11:46What we added here is, if before, we answered if you are feeling sick, if you answered yes, there will be a list.
11:56In the list, before, there are lists of symptoms like cough, cough, etc. But we added one that you can choose.
12:05You can choose if you have a cough or a cold.
12:10This is important Maris because before, the symptoms that are written do not have many symptoms on the skin.
12:16It is possible that before, when travelers choose their symptoms, they cannot choose the symptoms on their skin.
12:24Now, they have it and when they choose it, it will signal to help them with the Bureau of Quarantine.
12:34All right. Asec, what if for example, the passenger came from a country that has an outbreak of mpox and the symptoms were detected?
12:42What will the passenger do? For example, here in Paliparan.
12:47That's a good question Maris. First of all, the mpox is our response when they are flagged.
12:53When they are flagged, there is one more question that you mentioned. We have a list of countries from the WHO,
12:59if this is an outbreak or hotspot area and you came from there. If you answered yes and you have symptoms,
13:06the Bureau of Quarantine will approach you respectfully and will conduct a secondary screening.
13:14In the secondary screening, there is a trained doctor or nurse who knows the questions and what to do for an exam that you can become a suspect of mpox case.
13:25If you are a suspect of mpox case, they will approach you with content and discussion to a referral hospital for sample collection and permission to go home.
13:38It is not prohibited. As long as they can get sample collection and contact information, they can continue their isolation at home.
13:50So at home, they will not be brought to the hospital?
13:54They will be brought but for sample collection only, Maris. They will not be kept in the hospital.
13:58All right. Sir, what are the additional steps that the Department of Health is doing to prevent the deadly clade 1B from entering our country,
14:12which became a source of outbreak in other countries?
14:14Yes, Maris. In addition to our additional screening question, we will continue our local surveillance because we know that we have to cover all bases.
14:26It is possible that someone might enter and enter the screening.
14:30We will continue our surveillance. I will give you an update. I don't know what to say first. You are the first one to call.
14:38In case 10, 72 close contacts were traced. In case 11, 15 close contacts. In case 12, 9 close contacts. In case 13, 26 close contacts. In case 14, 4 close contacts.
14:54So even as we speak on a daily basis, our surveillance and even contact tracing is getting stronger in cooperation with our LGUs.
15:07All right. Lastly, what should be done to avoid the impacts and if you are infected, what should you do?
15:16Yes, Maris. The impacts are different from COVID-19. The impact is skin to skin, skin to skin.
15:23So to avoid COVID-19, we should avoid touching our skin. If we touch our skin, there is a simple protection that we can do.
15:33We should wear long sleeves and pants. We should not wear sandals and shorts.
15:39If we are close to each other or our heads are close, we should wear face masks.
15:48These are practical measures, including washing our hands and using alcohol sanitizers.
15:54So that we will not be impacted, we can avoid it. Let's not worry.
16:02And if you are infected?
16:05If we are infected with an impact, we have medicines for the symptoms, for cough, for sore throat.
16:14If it is getting better, our isolation period is from two weeks to four weeks.
16:21It's like a pool of water that dries up when it lasts.
16:24If the air falls, you can recover and go back to what you were doing before.
16:34Alright, thank you very much for your time and for the information you gave us in the first news.
16:39Assistant Secretary Albert Lumingo, Spokesperson of the Department of Health. Good morning.
16:44Thank you, Monice. Good morning.
16:46Until December 31, 2024, the validity of all employment permits of all POGO workers in the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation or PAGCOR.
17:01At the same time, the deadline given by the President, Bongbong Marcos, in PAGCOR,
17:07to close all POGOs due to the violence and crimes committed against them.
17:13The directive includes the Philippine and foreign offshore gaming employment license.
17:19In the third session of the President, he ordered the Department of Labor and Employment
17:23to help the workers affected by the stop operation of POGOs.
17:31The lawyer of the former Bambang Tarlac Mayor, Alice Guo, wants the Department of Justice to answer
17:38that her client is still in the Philippines, even though she's no longer there.
17:44The story is that Alice Guo is still here in the interviews in the stations on the left and right.
17:52For us, we need to bring to the IBP or the Supreme Court the question if these lawyers have an answer.
18:03How can we not believe it? The lawyer said that his client told him that he has no other basis for not believing it.
18:13Is that a lie?
18:15In the first news of Atty. Stephen David this August 20,
18:19he said that Alice Guo told him that she's still in the Philippines.
18:24In the middle of the opening of the Senate,
18:26the documents show that Guo is out of the country.
18:31Aside from Guo's lawyer, the DOJ also wants Atty. Elmer Galicia to answer.
18:36He is the notary on Guo's counter affidavit.
18:39The notary was appointed on August 14.
18:41At the time of his departure from the country, he was the elected mayor.
18:45At the hearing of the Senate this Tuesday,
18:47Atty. Elmer Galicia admitted that he was not able to verify the identity of the person who introduced Alice Guo to him.
18:56The DOJ said that they are not sure if Guo's counter affidavit will be accepted by their panel of prosecutors
19:02because it is considered fake.
19:04It is possible for the panel to resolve the complaint of qualified human trafficking.
19:10In the case of Guo, it is based on the evidence submitted by the government.
19:21In the upcoming Burr Month, we have a new Gen Z Barkara with us.
19:26We will have music and a new youth-oriented show called Baka.
19:32Fun and relatable content will be brought by the young sparkle stars,
