00:00Live from the GMA Network Center,
00:0420 years have passed in 24 hours.
00:12Good evening, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
00:15FIVOX is closely monitoring the activity of the Canlaon Volcano,
00:21especially as there are signs of a possible magmatic or major eruption
00:27in the coming weeks.
00:29The target is to carry out a forced evacuation
00:32of the more than 50,000 residents living in the 6-kilometer danger zone.
00:37There are still residents who do not want to evacuate
00:40even though the volcano is already at alert level 3.
00:42The government is preparing to raise the alert level 4
00:48for the eruption of the June Veneration.
00:53Compared to the strong eruption yesterday,
00:56the Canlaon Volcano seems to be quieter now.
01:01FIVOX said that only 20 volcanic quakes were recorded in the past 24 hours.
01:08But that does not mean that the problem is over
01:11because there are signs of a possible magmatic or major eruption
01:15in the coming weeks.
01:16In our analysis, the Canlaon Volcano is really preparing for a magmatic eruption.
01:22The only question is when and how, and how strong the eruption is.
01:31Yesterday's magmatic eruption reached a height of 4 kilometers
01:36that was brought by the wind to the northern part of the volcano.
01:39The ashfall hit the towns of Negros Occidental
01:42such as La Arlota City, Bago City, La Castellana and Murcia.
01:47The magmatic eruption on the ground, according to FIVOX,
01:50was brought by the wind and the sea
01:52in Guimaras, Iloilo and Antique.
01:55The other ashes that are far away,
01:59such as here in Antique,
02:01are already remobilized.
02:05It means that because of the strong wind,
02:07even the ashfall that has already fallen
02:10can still be seen from a distance.
02:13The alert level 3 is still high.
02:16It means that those who live inside the 6-kilometer danger zone should be evacuated.
02:21According to the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council,
02:2554,000 residents inside the 6-kilometer danger zone
02:30are the target of forced evacuation.
02:32From the two critical areas, those who need to be evacuated
02:35are La Castellana in Negros Occidental
02:38and Canlaon City in Negros Oriental.
02:41The issues that we are facing now,
02:45people are hesitating to evacuate
02:49because they are not used to these kinds of events.
02:56This is a force.
02:57But of course, we are talking to the people.
03:00When the alert level 4 is raised,
03:02the danger zone will be 10 kilometers.
03:05That's an additional 10,000 residents that need to be evacuated.
03:09We will send 1,000 tents and water
03:15plus other facilities like portalettes, etc.
03:20so that we can manage temporary evacuation sites.
03:25According to the signals that PHIVOX is monitoring
03:28to raise the alert level 4,
03:30the magma will slowly rise,
03:32the volcano will erupt and erupt.
03:35If that happens, a major eruption is possible
03:38where the magma can reach up to 10 kilometers.
03:42And the very dangerous pyroclastic density current
03:45can reach up to 6 kilometers.
03:49In alert level 4,
03:51all that could be affected by the worst-case scenario eruption
03:57has already been evacuated.
03:59Because alert level 5 is merely a statement.
04:02It's just a statement of ongoing worst-case scenario eruption.
04:07President Bongbong Marcos is confident
04:09that the government is ready
04:11to carry out extensive evacuation of the residents.
04:15We're ready.
04:16We know what to do.
04:18We have already started to send food packs
04:22and we already started to send all of the things that we bring
04:27to those who are in evacuation centers.
04:32For GMA Integrated News,
04:34June Veneration, 24 hours.
04:37Your GMA Kapuso Foundation is now preparing
04:41for Operation Bayanihan
04:43for those affected by the eruption of Volcano Canlaon.
04:47At the moment, GMA Kapuso Foundation is carrying out repacking
04:52with the 303rd Infantry Brigade,
04:5562nd Infantry Battalion, Philippine Army,
04:58and other volunteers
05:00at Bago City Elementary School,
05:02Relief Goods and KN95 masks
05:05will be distributed tomorrow
05:07for the 2,000 evacuees
05:09in the town of La Castellana, La Carlota,
05:13and Bago City, Negros Occidental.
05:16For those who want to donate,
05:17you can deposit it in our bank accounts
05:20or send it to Cebuana Lawalier.
05:22You can also send it online via GCash, Shopee, Lazada,
05:26Globe Rewards, and Metro Bank Credit Card.
05:30President Bongbong Marcos is adamant
05:32that the Philippines will not send a Navy warship
05:36despite the recent harassments by China.
05:40He said that on the anniversary
05:42of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea,
05:45which is one of the foundations of the Philippines
05:47in the unification of territory and sovereignty
05:50in the West Philippine Sea.
05:51This is Ivan Mayrena.
05:53In the past few weeks,
05:58new incidents of aggressive action
06:00were launched by China
06:01inside the Exclusive Economic Zone of the Philippines.
06:04From the approach of China's helicopter
06:08to the Philippine fishermen in Rosen Reef or Iroquois.
06:11Dangerous fishing,
06:13fishing, and water cannons
06:15to the ships of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources or BFAR.
06:19And last but not least,
06:20the recent incident of a laser in the ship of BFAR.
06:23According to the Philippine Coast Guard,
06:26in the past, the ships used by China
06:28were only for the Coast Guard or Militia vessels
06:30during the harassment.
06:31Now, it's Chinese Navy warships.
06:33And it's up to the President
06:35if he will face the ships of the Philippine Navy.
06:42The President's answer,
06:43despite the harassment,
06:44the Philippines will not send a Navy warship
06:47to the West Philippine Sea.
06:49We are not at war.
06:50We don't need Navy warships.
06:52All we are doing is resupplying our farm,
06:55our fishermen,
06:56protecting our territorial rights.
07:00Again, it will be provocative
07:03and will be seen as an escalation.
07:04We don't do that.
07:05The Philippines does not escalate tensions.
07:08Quite the opposite.
07:09The Philippines always tries to bring down the level of tension.
07:13Just a week ago,
07:15the National Task Force on the West Philippine Sea said
07:18that the Philippine Navy can deploy
07:20the Philippine warships
07:22to comply with the resupply missions
07:24of BFAR and PCG
07:26to the Philippine fishermen.
07:27But the President said,
07:29there will be no change in the country's discard
07:31in the West Philippine Sea.
07:32And the country will never be a part
07:34in bringing down the tension in the region.
07:37The President announced
07:38the 42nd anniversary
07:40of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea,
07:42which is considered to be the law of the sea,
07:45which is far from violating rights
07:47and avoids tensions between countries.
07:50This is also one of the foundations of the Philippines
07:52in its territorial and sovereignty
07:54in the West Philippine Sea.
07:56As it upholds its lawful claim
07:58to its maritime entitlements,
08:00the Philippines has continued to engage
08:02coastal neighbors to discussions
08:04on the delimitation of the Exclusive Economic Zone,
08:07the Continental Shelf,
08:09and the Extended Continental Shelf
08:11measured from lawfully drawn baselines
08:14where these maritime zones may overlap.
08:17For GMA Integrated News,
08:19Ivan Mejrina reporting for 24 Hours.
08:23In the prison of a former cadet,
08:25after being seen selling illegal weapons
08:29in a buy-bust operation,
08:30this is my exclusive coverage.
08:32This is my exclusive coverage.
08:40The suspect found a gas station
08:42in Bulacan in his transaction.
08:45Surrounding his body
08:47were police officers.
08:52From the van where the suspect was driving,
08:54he transferred the guns
08:56wrapped in insulation foam to the trunk of the car.
09:03The police arrived
09:05undercovered by the suspect
09:07assuming that he needed to be handcuffed.
09:29The suspect was arrested
09:30by a former cadet of a military academy
09:33who was shot after firing a gun
09:35against a training facility.
09:45According to the PNP Maritime Group,
09:47the suspect was only selling
09:49weapons worth less than Php 20,000
09:53to him,
09:54including a 9mm and a .45 caliber pistol
09:58and an M1 Garand rifle,
10:01a collectible firearm.
10:03It's considered high-powered
10:04because this gun is very rare.
10:06This is a Garand.
10:08The fine for the illegal sale of weapons
10:11depends on the fiscal,
10:12but according to the police estimate,
10:14it will be less than half a million pesos.
10:16I will only speak in court.
10:18For GMI Integrated News,
10:20Emil Sumangil,
10:21for 24 Hours.
10:24It's been more than two weeks
10:26before Christmas,
10:27that's why the heavy traffic
10:30on many roads is more noticeable.
10:33It's the most affected by commuters,
10:35that's why GMI Integrated News
10:39is trying to face
10:41daily chaos on the road.
10:45That's what Joseph Muno is talking about.
10:52This scene is very prominent
10:54in Commonwealth Avenue, Quezon City
10:56because of the heavy traffic,
10:58especially now that it's Christmas.
11:00They say,
11:01if you want to go home fresh,
11:02you have to go home early.
11:04Adrian, from Montalban, Rizal,
11:06woke up at 4am
11:08to go to Mandaluyong.
11:10Now that it's Christmas,
11:11it's more difficult to ride.
11:13It's more difficult
11:14because,
11:15for example,
11:16my aunt,
11:17she often goes home
11:19during Christmas
11:20because she buys things
11:22and there are also stores.
11:24It's hard to go home
11:25because of the traffic.
11:26Sometimes,
11:27it takes 3 hours
11:28because it's hard to ride.
11:31Adrian waited for a few minutes
11:33when someone arrived.
11:35He chased him
11:36in the middle of the highway.
11:41There are traffic jams
11:42that prevent people
11:43from waiting.
11:45How much is the MRT?
11:46MRT?
11:47Yes.
11:48For Manila?
11:49That's why it's P300.
11:51Some people in motorcycle taxis
11:52are going crazy.
11:54There's traffic.
11:55Why don't you want to ride a jeepney?
11:56I don't want to
11:57because I've been waiting for a long time.
11:58Are you already late?
11:59Yes.
12:00Where are you going?
12:01I'm going home.
12:04We rode in a modern jeepney
12:05to find out
12:06how long
12:07the trip is this December.
12:09It's around 8.32am.
12:10In about 2 minutes,
12:11we got to Calau.
12:14Then, let's see
12:15how many hours the trip is.
12:17Inside,
12:18the passengers
12:19are sleeping soundly.
12:20If you're lucky,
12:21you can sit.
12:22Some are sitting
12:23on the road
12:24where most people
12:25are sleeping.
12:27What time are you going home?
12:2810pm.
12:2910pm?
12:30At night?
12:31At night.
12:32What time do you wake up?
12:337am.
12:34Do you sleep?
12:35No.
12:37In the early morning,
12:38it's okay.
12:39It's continuous.
12:41If it's like this,
12:42it's over.
12:43Imagine,
12:44it's 7am.
12:45What time is it?
12:46We leave at 7am.
12:47For those who ride
12:48a modern jeepney,
12:49their income is low,
12:50which means
12:51there's a Christmas rush.
12:53In December,
12:54sometimes,
12:55there are 3 of us.
12:56The three of us
12:57will just go around
12:58the traffic.
12:59We can get a scooter.
13:00We're close to Calau.
13:01So,
13:04the trip is about 1 hour.
13:06When we get off
13:07at Manila,
13:08Take care, sir.
13:09We ride a TNVS.
13:11We got to Bukdakong
13:12at 10am.
13:14Have you traveled before?
13:15Yes, sir.
13:16What time do you start?
13:17Morning, sir.
13:18Morning?
13:19What time?
13:206 o'clock, sir.
13:216?
13:22What time is it now?
13:23It's just 4 o'clock, sir.
13:25The TNVS driver
13:26already felt the Christmas rush.
13:28Especially,
13:29on Saturday.
13:30Yes.
13:31You can already feel
13:32the traffic.
13:34We also traveled
13:35for more than 30 minutes
13:36from Manila
13:37to Quezon City,
13:38but the fare
13:39is about P400.
13:41In the monitoring
13:42of the MMDA
13:43this December 2,
13:44there are more than
13:45440,000 cars
13:46in EDSA.
13:49It's higher than
13:50the average of P417,000
13:52from January to November.
13:54It varies from
13:55one hour to
13:56one and a half hours
13:57of travel in the length
13:58of EDSA
13:59from Roas to
14:00Monumento
14:01which is northbound.
14:02Or Monumento to
14:03Roas Boulevard
14:04which is southbound.
14:05One thing that we have
14:06to consider
14:07our roads
14:08it was never really
14:09built and prepared
14:10to handle
14:11this kind of volume.
14:12Make use
14:13of our public
14:14transportation.
14:15The shortest term
14:16that we do
14:17is to clear
14:18our living lanes,
14:19our major toro fairs,
14:20our alternate routes.
14:21Some solutions
14:22are also being implemented
14:23by the MMDA
14:24like the late opening
14:25and closing
14:26of malls
14:27so that people
14:28can't gather
14:29on the streets.
14:30For GMA Integrated News,
14:31Joseph Morong
14:32for 24 Hours.
14:36The Congress wants
14:37to investigate
14:38the manipulation
14:39of traders
14:40on the price of sugar.
14:42It is supported
14:43by the Sugar Regulatory
14:44Administration
14:45especially
14:46by many farmers.
14:47Bernadette Reyes
14:48has the story.
14:53The Sugar Regulatory
14:54Administration
14:55said that
14:56the supply of sugar
14:57is enough
14:58this Christmas
14:59so the price
15:00should not increase.
15:01The price of red sugar
15:02varies from
15:0365 to 85 pesos
15:04per kilo.
15:05As for the white sugar
15:06up to 90 pesos
15:07the problem
15:08is that
15:09the price
15:10of farm gate
15:11drops
15:12so that
15:13the farmers
15:14lose money.
15:15Because sugarcane
15:16farmers are being
15:17exploited
15:18the farm gate
15:19price is only
15:202,400 pesos
15:21per sack
15:22according to
15:23the SRA.
15:24At this price
15:25the farmers
15:26lose money
15:27or they
15:28just get
15:29their income
15:30back.
15:31This is the
15:32buyers of
15:33the farmer sugar.
15:34So this is
15:35the beginning
15:36of the supply chain.
15:37The first
15:38buyers
15:39when the
15:40milk comes out
15:41that's our problem.
15:42The wholesale
15:43and retail
15:44the gap
15:45only increases
15:46from wholesale
15:47to farm gate.
15:48According to
15:49the United Sugar
15:50Producers
15:51Federation of
15:52the Philippines
15:53there are
15:54traders who
15:55are playing
15:56with the price.
15:57Traders
15:58force the
15:59sugar they
16:00bought
16:01to a lower
16:02price
16:03so that
16:04the price
16:05increases
16:06so that
16:07the buyers
16:08are included.
16:09The sugar
16:10means
16:11they have
16:12huge bodegas
16:13in January
16:14and February
16:15the price
16:16will increase
16:17because there
16:18is no
16:19sugar
16:20in the market.
16:21That is
16:22when they
16:23will unload
16:24the cheap
16:25sugar that
16:26they bought
16:27from us
16:28and make
16:29money.
16:30In the
16:31privileged speech
16:32of Negros
16:33Occidental
16:345th District
16:35Rep.
16:36Emilio
16:37Bernardino
16:38Yulo
16:39he said
16:40it should be
16:41investigated
16:42in the
16:43effort of
16:44giving our
16:45farmers
16:46a better
16:47price
16:48giving our
16:49farmers
16:50a better
16:51chance
16:52because
16:53if not
16:54these farmers
16:55will shift
16:56to other
16:57crops so
16:58it will be
16:59a bigger
17:00problem.
