00:00The supply is enough, but the price of pork continues to rise. The price of lechon is expected to rise by more than Php 1,000.
00:22Mark Salazar has the first news.
00:25The supply of chicken and pork is too much in the market due to the combined local and imported supply, according to the Bureau of Animal Industry.
00:37But why is the price still not decreasing in the market?
00:40For example, the price of chicken, which is usually Php 220 to Php 230 per kilo, in Metro Manila families, while there is no Php 100 per kilo that was obtained in Bulacan.
00:53The local production is too much in demand, the importation is also too much, so the supply is too much.
00:59The only challenge is that the price of pork is not always felt in the retail market below the farm gate.
01:06That is what needs to be improved.
01:10Since 2000, the volume of imports has been increasing, but the price is also increasing.
01:15Because the importers also want to earn a lot.
01:19Travelers or traders are being taught in a very high level from the farm gate to the retail price.
01:26It is expected that if cheaper imported meat will enter, the retail price in the market will go down.
01:32But according to the Bureau of Animal Industry, 75% of our chicken demand still comes from local production.
01:42That is why the local industry should really take care of it.
01:46But it is said that in the CCU, it has already lost.
01:50The CCU is now Php 58 per head.
01:52Before, it was only Php 22.
01:54That is 26% of our production cost.
01:56That is why our computation is Php 100 to Php 150 per kilo.
02:02The Department of Agriculture said that they are already doing something to help with the expenses of chickens, especially in feeds.
02:10We will look at how we can produce raw materials locally.
02:15And we will minimize the dependence on importation.
02:20So that when people buy from here, it will be profitable.
02:23If people buy from here, it will be cheaper.
02:25The quality will increase.
02:27There is also no shortage in the supply of pork even until Christmas, despite the African Swine Fever.
02:33According to the monitoring of the Joint Industry of Agriculture or SINAG,
02:381,000,000 metric tons of imported pork is already available from local production.
02:42And almost half a million kilos of imported pork will arrive.
02:46In Laloma, it is expected that 1,000 to 1,500 will be able to buy whole lechon.
02:53It is not expensive.
02:55As long as you sell quality, people will eat it.
02:59People will buy it.
03:00If it is cheap, people will not buy it.
03:03But even though the price of lechon is increasing,
03:06the high-ranking officials will not stop preparing lechon for Christmas and the New Year.
03:12This is 10,000.
03:14It will be 12,000.
03:16It will be 12,000.
03:177,000.
03:18It will be 8,500.
03:19This will be 6,000.
03:22It will be 31,000.
03:23600 lechon?
03:25Yes.
03:26It will be 31,000.
03:27In the morning, it will be 20,000.
03:3020,000 lechon?
03:32Yes.
03:33It will be 20,000.
03:35This is the first news.
03:36Mark Salazar for GMA Integrated News.
03:41Kapusong, we are still here in Manila Hotel Tent City,
03:44the venue where the Certificate of Candidacy will be filed,
03:47for those who want to run for the May 2025 midterm elections.
03:52Today is October 8, the last day of the filing of the Candidacy.
03:5718,280 national and local positions will be filled in the May 2025 midterm elections.
04:05From 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., the Certificate of Candidacy will be filed.
04:10To give us more details,
04:12on the last day of the filing of the Certificate of Candidacy,
04:17we will be joined by Comelec Chairman, Chairman George Garcia.
04:22Good morning to you, Chairman.
04:23Good morning, Ma'am Maris, and good morning to all of us.
04:26Sir, first of all,
04:28127 senatorial aspirants and 137 party list aspirants have filed their Certificate of Candidacy.
04:37Are we expecting that on the last day,
04:39more will run and this list will be added?
04:43You know, Ma'am Maris, our party list is 160,
04:47so more or less, we still have 23
04:50who are expected to file Certificates of Nomination and Acceptance.
04:53In our senatorial candidates,
04:56some are expected to file their Certificate of Candidacy on the last day.
05:00So we expect that the number of senatorial candidates will reach 130 to 135.
05:05But you know, compared to the last 2022 elections,
05:08for the knowledge of our countrymen,
05:10this is lower because in the last election,
05:13176 senatorial aspirants filed their Certificate of Candidacy.
05:18Is there a reason why it is lower?
05:21You know, there are coalition alliances.
05:24Maybe because of those coalition alliances,
05:26the different political parties that we have in our country,
05:30they should not file or field their candidates
05:34if they are not included in a coalition or an alliance.
05:38Just focus on supporting those who are running, even if they are fighting.
05:42But anyway, Chairman, if for example,
05:44it is already 5 p.m. and there are still people in line,
05:48will you accept them?
05:50Yes, we will accept them as long as they are here in the vicinity of the tent of Manila Hotel.
05:55And even in other parts of our country,
05:57as long as they are in a different area of the venue,
06:00we will allow them to file their Certificates of Candidacy.
06:04However, they should register their names
06:07because it is not possible for them to say,
06:09we have been here for a long time,
06:11we are here in a different building or area.
06:14They should register their names,
06:16so that they can be called if it is already past 5 p.m.
06:21So that they know that they are included in the cut-off, right?
06:24Anyway, Chairman, you also mentioned that
06:27COMELEC will file applications to remove the nuisance candidates.
06:32How is the system in categorizing the aspirants as nuisance?
06:37You know, it is motoproprio to the Commission.
06:40It means that even if no one files a petition, we can do it.
06:43But you know, to our fellow countrymen,
06:45it is better, especially if there are enemies
06:47or if there are nuisance candidates running around
06:50to confuse our fellow countrymen.
06:52It is better if they themselves file a petition to us
06:57because we do not know all 28,000 candidates in the whole Philippines.
07:01So far, only 28,000 have filed in the whole Philippines.
07:04So, if local candidates are good,
07:06someone should also file a petition to us.
07:08We can determine the national candidates.
07:10We don't have a problem with that.
07:11But for local candidates, someone should file a petition
07:14to declare nuisance candidates as nuisance
07:18or to confuse our fellow countrymen.
07:21Will two weeks be enough for all of them to be accused?
07:24I also want to know how about those who have been declared as nuisance candidates
07:31and at the same time, there is a perpetual disqualification to hold public office.
07:37Isn't it automatic that they should be removed?
07:41Well, internally, our deadline is November 30
07:45so that we can decide on the issue of nuisance
07:48or the issue of perpetual disqualification to hold public office.
07:52Everyone will remember that if the issue is perpetual disqualification,
07:56that is, a lifetime of not being able to run or hold a position in the government,
08:02we can do that on our own without filing a petition
08:07because we have lists that were brought to us by the Ombudsman's office.
08:12As long as there is no restraining order in a higher court
08:15to stop the implementation of the decision of the Ombudsman's office,
08:18we will implement that.
08:20So, everyone should expect that before November 30,
08:22we already have an update on how many were declared as nuisance candidates,
08:27and we dismissed their filing of candidacy
08:32because they are perpetually disqualified to hold public office.
08:35But when will the final list come out?
08:38December 30, Ma'am Maris, our final list
08:40because Comelec wants to have a printing of balotas by the last week of December.
08:46Alright. The question of many chairmen,
08:48will Comelec still accept the Certificate of Candidacy
08:51that I will file anyway by Alice Guo of Bambantarlac
08:55because his lawyer is saying that he will be fired?
08:59Ma'am Maris, as we have repeatedly mentioned,
09:02for a few days now, we have been saying that our role,
09:06our duty in accepting candidacy is purely ministerial.
09:10We do not have discretion to dismiss those who will file candidacy,
09:14whether they are singers, boyfriend or girlfriend,
09:17or whatever our countrymen think.
09:20We will accept the Certificates of Candidacy.
09:23But if the name will be included in the balota,
09:26will he be listed or will he be a candidate?
09:28That's a different discussion.
09:29And therefore, I will not say if the mentioned personality will run
09:34because it might be said that he is not being primed,
09:36he is not yet filing his candidacy.
09:38But what we are saying is that we will accept it
09:40but we will judge if he should be included or not.
09:44But he already has a case of misrepresentation from the previous elections.
09:48And what is the update on this case that is being heard in Comelec?
09:53This week, maybe until tomorrow, we will have a resolution on that.
09:58Aside from that, because we only have issues that have been resolved.
10:02At the same time, it would be good to talk to those who are facing misrepresentation cases.
10:07If I will file, will that be a new misrepresentation?
10:10Of course, in every case that you file, those are different misrepresentation cases.
10:14Let me just remind those who are still chasing the filing of Certificate of Candidacy.
10:20And of course, Sir, what they are saying is that substitutions are prohibited
10:25as compared to the previous elections, there are still substitutions happening.
10:29Let's go there first, Ma'am Marissa, substitutions are prohibited.
10:31After October 8, aside from the death or disqualification of a candidate,
10:36substitutions are prohibited, we will no longer accept substitutions.
10:39What happened in the past is enough.
10:41Meaning to say, if you submitted a list, if you are a party list or if you are a candidate,
10:46aside from the death or disqualification, we will not allow you to have substitutions.
10:51If you died or were disqualified, you can have substitutions,
10:54but the same political party and the same family name.
10:57To those who are chasing this day, of course, we are still here,
11:01until 5 p.m. in the afternoon, I hope that before you go to our filing sites,
11:06I hope that you have orders to bring your Certificates of Candidacy,
11:10for us to review, maybe it's not enough, maybe there should be more,
11:14and therefore, if you don't know when you will go,
11:17and you don't bring your Certificates of Candidacy, it will take a long time.
11:20The queue is long, many will file today.
11:24Alright, thank you very much, your day is still long, Chairman.
11:27Thank you very much for the information you gave us and for your time.
11:31Comlec Chairman, George Garcia.
11:34Meanwhile, PhilHealth members, solo parents and their dependents or their children.
11:44According to the circular issued by PhilHealth,
11:47the government will answer the premium contribution of solo parents
11:51who do not have a job under the Expanded Social Welfare Act.
11:54As for the solo parents who are working,
11:57the government and their company will share the payment of the premium.
12:03It is just necessary that the solo parents have a valid Solo Parent Identification Card.
12:08If you don't have one yet, please make a list in the Solo Parent Office of your local government unit.
12:18Before, it was only employees.
12:20Now, there are Filipino people who are running for the Illegal Pogo
12:24under the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission or PAOC.
12:28Salima Refran is the first news.
12:35Authorities in the Nereidna IGL or Internet Gaming Licensee in Pasay last week pulled the strings.
12:43Nereidna IGL also has Filipino employees
12:46because of the rumors about the running of SCAMFAR.
12:50SCAMFAR, 62 out of more than 200 investigated by the authorities, are Filipinos.
12:56Maybe, sir. It's regrettable.
12:58But if you make a no-choice choice in life, it's hard to die of hunger.
13:04But the reports say that there are Filipinos who are running their own illegal Pogo operations
13:12under the Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission or PAOC.
13:16It's a picture that came from Nereidna IGL and our online SCAM hubs.
13:25These Filipinos will learn how to accumulate funds,
13:31have a strong heart, network, connection, and they will be the ones to start.
13:36They are also pulling the strings for the total ban on Pogo at the end of the year.
13:42The indigenous SCAMFARM that the Filipinos are running is very scary.
13:47This is what we see. There are some who are trying.
13:51The question is why? Because the money is too big.
13:55That's a different story. If we see that they're the ones who are perpetrating the scams,
14:02we will charge anybody who's responsible for it. We will not spare anybody.
14:07It's really the money motive. The money there is big.
14:11The government initiated a Task Force Pogo Closure under the leadership of the Department of Justice and PAOC.
14:17It aims to adjust the process of Pogo leasing in the country.
14:21According to the Bureau of Immigration,
14:2310,000 of the estimated 100,000 foreign Pogo workers applied to downgrade their 9G Visa or Pre-Arranged Employment Visa.
14:35Until October 15 or next week, foreign Pogo workers will be allowed to downgrade their work visas.
14:42When October 16 arrives, they will be automatically cancelled.
14:47After October 15, the Bureau of Immigration will issue a cancellation order for all those who are left,
14:54who have not yet filed for the downgrading of their visas.
15:01They already have an order to leave, meaning they will be required to leave within a 59-day period.
15:08This is the first news in five sentences for GMA Integrated News.
15:14We hope that the Senate will listen to the dismissal of Mayor Alice Guo or Guo Huaping.
15:23At the moment, Guo is in Pasig City Jail because of her case of qualified human trafficking
15:28related to the Pogo Hub in Banban, Tarlac.
15:33During the last hearing of the Senate Committee on Women, Children, Family Relations, and Gender Equality,
15:39Guo heard the personalities behind the illegal operation of Pogo in the Executive Session.
15:45According to her, the previous theory of the committee was based on Senator Risa Ontiveros.
15:51Today, five co-incorporators of Guo were listed in the Pogo Hub that submitted to the National Bureau of Investigation.
16:02Ontiveros hopes that they will be able to clarify who is behind the crime in the Pogo Hub.
16:10We are still here in Manila Hotel Tent City for the last day of filing the Certificate of Candidacy
16:17for the candidates for the 2025 midterm elections.
16:22The deadline for filing the Certificate of Candidacy is in the evening.

20:01His son served as Vice Mayor of Lunsud, Davao City Mayor Baste Duterte.
20:08Through his lawyer,
20:10COC Congressman Paulo Duterte was the first to eat
20:13for his third term as Davao City 1st District Representative.
20:18The former President Duterte announced a plan of escape.
20:22At the same time, he said that he can no longer campaign for the national position.
20:26I think that at my age 73,
20:36I don't think I can anymore.
20:38I will just collapse.
20:39While explaining to the former President why Baste will be the Vice Mayor,
20:44he mentioned his cancer.
20:47Duterte will face Mayor Al Reyes, Bishop Rodolfo Rod Cubos,
20:52founder of Christ the Healer International Movement.
20:55My advantage here is that the people are speaking.
20:58The people are speaking.
21:00I have nothing against Father Bigong.
21:03If Father has no problem,
21:05the problem is that he is old and weak.
21:08His tandem as Vice Mayor is the former employee of the City Government of Davao,
21:13Rondora Barsena.
21:14This is the first news.
21:16Sandra Aguinaldo for GMA Integrated News.

21:24to the invitation of the House Quad Committee

21:47Co-Chairman Benny Avante,
21:49is preparing the Quad Committee to ask questions to the former President.

24:42PINAY ATHLETE TATIANA MANGGIN

25:02She won the final match of the Korean Championship.
25:05Manggin was the first Pinay to win in the competition.

25:21with the victory of Alex Borromeo.
25:29Even though the authorities repeatedly remind us
25:32that only cars are allowed to pass through EDSA Busway,
25:36there are still many motorists who are willing to pass through.
25:41Live from Quezon City, James Agustin.
25:46James.
25:50Good morning.
25:51According to what we have seen in the EDSA operation in EDSA-Santol this morning,
25:55several motorcycles, a provincial bus and a van,
25:59passed through EDSA Busway even though they were not authorized.
26:02There was also a motorcycle rider who was stopped by the authorities.
26:09The Special Action and Intelligence Committee of Transportation-OSAI
26:12has not been able to identify the two minutes yet.
26:15However, a motorcycle rider who passed through EDSA-Santolan Busway was caught.
26:20The rider came from Valenzuela and went to work in Makati.
26:24I was just caught, I didn't expect it. I just know the rules.
26:27I'm really sorry.
26:29The next one was stopped by an ambulance.
26:31Because it was proven that these two patients have a vehicle,
26:34they were allowed to pass through the busway.
26:36Three more motorcycle riders were caught one after another.
26:39One of them had a hard time moving aside.
26:41He tried to move forward several times.
26:44I wanted to go straight to the side,
26:46but when the pick-up passed by, I tried to avoid it.
26:50I tried to avoid the pick-up because if I didn't avoid it, I would have been stopped.
26:55There was also a rider who was stopped by the authorities.
26:57Another rider was seen crossing the busway.
27:00He suddenly bumped into another motorcyclist, but he was still not caught.
27:04It's really easy.
27:06Did you go to work?
27:08Yes, sir.
27:09There is no exception for a provincial bus that passed through the busway.
27:13Provincial buses are not allowed in the busway because it is not part of EDSA-CARUSE.
27:17Sir, I was just stuck in the pick-up.
27:20I thought there was traffic.
27:22I was stuck in the pick-up.
27:24That's why I tried to move aside.
27:27But you know it's not allowed.
27:29I know that. It's been a long time.
27:31A driver of a van was also stopped.
27:33The driver who admitted to crossing the busway did not face the camera.
27:41Meanwhile, this operation is continuing here in ESSA-SANTOLA.
27:45You can see a motorcycle rider.
27:47That's the last one who was caught.
27:49There are already 10 motorists who were caught this morning.
27:54The most motorcycle riders are 17.
27:57One is a provincial bus and one is a van.
28:00That's the first news.
