00:00President Bongbong Marcos ordered that all government agencies should be on high alert because of the Marseille Flood.
00:07He also ordered that the design and construction of bridges and roads should be repaired so that they can last and prosper.
00:14At any time.
00:15Witness, Dano Tingcunco.
00:17So that he won't be able to repeat the disaster that was caused by the Christian Flood in Bicol,
00:27President Bongbong Marcos ordered the Department of Public Works and Highways to re-study the Bicol River Basin Development Program
00:35to avoid flooding or to speed up its construction.
00:38He announced that by distributing a total of P100 million in aid to fishermen in Cabarines Sur and Albay.
00:46In June 2025, we will implement this agreement so that the Bicol River Basin Development Program will be implemented.
01:00For this, the President ordered the Public Works Department and Interior Department to consult with local governments.
01:08He also ordered that the design and construction of bridges and roads should be repaired so that they can last and prosper.
01:15Make sure that the materials are of good quality, safe and durable.
01:20The Quick Response Fund was prepared by the Budget Department in response to the disaster.
01:26This is our QRF.
01:28The truth is that due to the number of storms, it was exhausted.
01:32So what we did is we set aside funds to give again.
01:38The National Economic Development Authority Board approved the extension of the construction and some changes to some flood control projects.
01:46It was increased to P22 billion from the previous P9.89 billion for Cavite due to increased drainage and expansion of diversion channels.
01:56It was increased to P57.7 billion from P33 billion for Phase 4 of a flood control project that will benefit Pasig, Marikina, Quezon City, and the towns of Taytay and Caintas, Arizal.
02:10The purchase of 40 fast patrol crafts by the Philippine Coast Guard for disaster response, search and rescue operations, and implementation of maritime law was also approved.
02:20Now that the Marseille Flood is felt in some parts of the country, President Marcos ordered to put all government agencies on high alert.
02:27He said that the communication system should be adjusted to deliver the message to the public more quickly.
02:32Now we are telling our countrymen to have a pre-emptive evacuation, especially in low-lying areas that can be flooded,
02:44those that used to be flooded, and in areas that can also have land construction.
02:51These are especially here on the side of our Cagayan River.
02:56For GMA Integrated News, Dano Tinggong, for your Success News.
03:02A motorcycle accident in Pasig City was recorded as a pre-emptive evacuation from an AUV.
03:10This is Oscar Oida.
03:15On Monday afternoon, past 3 p.m., the Barangay Capitolio in Pasig was caught on CCTV when an old all-utility vehicle or AUV was swept off the road.
03:28Maybe because their vehicle was not secured, they didn't know that it was about to be thrown away.
03:36A few moments later, a motorcycle with a high-ranking passenger was swept off the road.
03:44The people in the area immediately helped them.
03:48They were also helped by the people on the side.
03:51The barangay's ambulance locked them up, but they didn't ask for help.
03:56And then the motorcycle drove off again.
04:00Luckily, our rider was not injured.
04:03Maybe just minor injuries to the rider and his vehicle.
04:07The motorcycle is pitiful because he didn't know that there was an oil spill on the road.
04:15And so that the incident will not happen again, the barangay immediately flashed the oil spill.
04:22If you see any oil spill on the road, immediately inform the authorities.
04:29For GMA Integrated News, I'm Oscar Oida.
04:35The seven officials of the Office of the Vice President are at the Immigration Lookout Bulletin
04:39because they did not respond to the cameras several times.
04:43The Chief of Staff of Vice President Sara Duterte, who left the country before yesterday's hearing,
04:49said that the trip was personal and had nothing to do with her work.
04:54Witness Tina Panginiban Perez.
05:00Because of the several times that they did not respond to the cameras,
05:03the House Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability
05:07placed the seven officials of the Office of the Vice President in the Immigration Lookout Bulletin.
05:13The Office of the Vice President was given by the Department of Justice.
05:16And the ruling was issued today.
05:18I would like to reiterate that this ILBO is not a restriction to their travel or their right to travel,
05:24but merely a monitoring mechanism by which we can see if they left the country or entered the country.
05:31But DOJ clarified that
05:33it does not, by any stretch of the imagination, force them to attend a particular hearing,
05:38whether it be in the Congress, Senate or in court.
05:42The Chief of Staff of Vice President Sara Duterte, Zulika Lopez, is on the lookout order.
05:48She was expected to face the hearing, but she flew to America on the eve of yesterday's hearing.
05:55According to Committee Chair Joel Chua,
05:57officials of the Office of the Vice President do not stop the investigation
06:02regarding the spending of the Confidential and Intelligence Fund of the Office of the Vice President.
06:07They say they know that Vice President Sara is the one who signed the Travel Authority of the Chief of Staff.
06:14This is also the view of other congressmen.
06:17I have bad faith for several reasons.
06:20First, they were invited several times.
06:23Second, you can see that there is bad faith because she left the country the night before the scheduled hearing.
06:32The Chief of Staff has the obligation to explain the irregularities, the concerns, and the issues.
06:40If no one is hiding anything, why are you avoiding it?
06:43In a statement, the OVP confirmed that Lopez traveled to America and approved his visa.
06:49This is a personal trip and has nothing to do with his work.
06:54The OVP also requested that Lopez and his family keep their privacy during a time when they have a heavy burden.
07:03Some congressmen are also concerned about Vice President Sara Duterte's refusal to give an oath at the hearing.
07:11It does not set a good precedent for all resource persons that will attend in the future hearings,
07:16even former President Aquino attended the Senate hearing and took his oath.
07:24President Duterte attended the Senate hearing and took his oath.
07:28Despite this, it is premature to say that there is a basis to impeach Vice President Sara Duterte.
07:35It's premature to even say that this leads to impeachment.
07:39We have yet really to find out what really happened as far as the utilization of these funds.
07:46We are still waiting for the reaction of VP Sara.
07:50For San Sir May Integrated News, I am Tina Panganiban Perez, your witness.
07:57Two million Filipinos were added to the workforce in September,
08:01and more are expected as Christmas approaches.
08:04And as a senior citizen, I am your witness, Bernadette Reyes.
08:14Age knows no limits, even in finding a job.
08:18Like Grandma Marie Luna, who is already 70 years old, she is busy with her small shop.
08:24So that I can have some income for my grandchildren.
08:28According to the Philippine Statistics Authority,
08:31384,000 senior citizens were added to the workforce in September
08:37compared to the same period last year.
08:40Most of them are in the services sector.
08:44The number of senior workers is increasing,
08:48both in terms of numbers and in terms of percentage of workers.
08:52This September, almost 50 million Filipinos have a job
08:56based on the Philippine Statistics Authority.
08:59Two million more than the same month in 2023.
09:04The number of unemployed is decreasing,
09:07lower than in August.
09:10The number of underemployed is also increasing,
09:13compared to the previous year.
09:16Like Michelle, who is overtiming at work.
09:19So that I can have something to spend on,
09:22to add to my daily expenses.
09:24Because life is hard now.
09:26The good news is that as Christmas approaches,
09:29some job openings in the retail sector
09:32such as malls, groceries, restaurants, and hotels
09:35will be able to help.
09:38It will start in October.
09:40According to Labor Secretary Benny Laguasma,
09:43the latest labor force survey
09:46shows that the country's economic conditions are improving.
09:49They say it is their priority to achieve
09:52quality work in helping the private sector.
09:55For GMA Integrated News,
09:58this is the latest news.
10:01The number of unemployed is increasing,
10:04lower than in August.
10:07The number of unemployed is increasing,
10:10lower than in August.
